I was just thinking about taking the arts exam and you said I've been playing supporting roles

Chapter 46 Fakes and Authenticities!
Some people smile by merely mobilizing their facial muscles.

Their mouths are smiling, but their eyes are not. Their eyes are most likely cold or even hateful.

There are many kinds of laughter: hypocritical, professional, pretend, sincere, etc.

But now when Chen Jin smiled, two laugh lines appeared on both sides of his nose, and his eyes narrowed slightly, giving people the feeling that his smile came completely from the heart, not pretended, nor was it sarcastic.

Just laugh with all your heart.

"wrong!"

Zhang Yimou frowned, and without paying attention to the other students who were auditioning, he had already put on his shoes and said to Chen Jin, "Chen Jin, have you read the original novel?"

"Well, I saw it!"

Chen Jin stood there, stretched out his feet and stepped directly into his rubber shoes, which was completely different from other students who sat down and put on their shoes.

The skillful movement caught Zhang Yimou's attention again.

"its not right……"

Zhang Yimou smiled at Fu Lulu and the screenwriter beside him. Chen Jin's current feeling was exactly the same as the third brother in the script.

But, he never studied acting!
Moreover, Zhang Yimou didn't believe that Chen Jin's smile just now was acted.

Because it's so true.

He has been directing plays for half his life and has seen all kinds of actors, but he has never seen someone like Chen Jin, whose appearance, age and acting skills don't match.

If the smile just now was acted, it would be too awesome.

But it’s not acting, so what are these actions he’s taking now?
Chen Jin is clearly playing the third child in "Under the Hawthorn Tree".

But this almost completed the performance of the third brother in the script, and Zhang Yimou was really shocked.

"Do you know that the one auditioning now is the third one?"

Zhang Yimou asked Chen Jin, who had already dressed and walked in front of him. The other auditioning actors were also standing there side by side.

"Yes, this is the outfit worn by the third member of the exploration team in the original novel!"

"What about that smile you just had?"

"The original novel describes the third brother's smile a lot, and I feel like it's the same when I smile. I looked in the mirror..."

Chen Jin laughed again, in a similar way to before.

"Hahaha!"

Zhang Yimou was immediately amused.

This is right!

Zhang Yimou was almost scared. He really thought that Chen Jin was acting out that natural smile.

Acting yourself and acting are two different concepts.

If he acts, he'll be a monster.

But he plays himself, it's a gift from God, he's just like the third brother in the script, what can you do to him? !

30%...35%...45%...

Chen Jin looked at his task completion rate, which was soaring rapidly and soon reached 70%!

Chen Jin’s stock price soared during the audition!

This is the rhythm that Zhang Yimou is optimistic about.

"Okay, everyone smile, the happiest kind of smile!"

Zhang Yimou gestured with his hands and feet, and all the actors auditioning burst into laughter.

Zhang Yimou's eyes swept over them one by one. In fact, every audition actor's smile was very natural, very similar to the cheerful smile of the third brother in the original novel.

If not for this, Zhang Yimou would not have left them alone.

This is the biggest feature of the character. He is an actor selected based on his smile.

First of all, your smile must fit the character's personality.

But this time, the only thing in Zhang Yimou's mind was Chen Jin's face that had just appeared through the curtain.

Even when Dou Xiao smiles, he looks good.

In the end, Zhang Yimou's eyes fixed on Chen Jin.

Once I saw this, I couldn't take my eyes off him anymore.

What does that feel like?

A complete dimensionality reduction attack, the difference between a fake and a genuine product.

All the auditioning actors in front were smiling, but you could feel that this was an audition, they were students of Beijing Film Academy and they were actors.

But Chen Jin seemed to have walked out of a script.

The longer I look at him, the more I feel that his temperament and image are consistent with the third brother in the original work. He feels like the young man in my memory in the 70s.

At first glance, Zhang Yimou just thought that Chen Jin was the best among this batch.

But the longer you watch it, the more you will feel that this is the third brother. The third brother in "Under the Hawthorn Tree" is like this.

It's exactly the same!
The characters stepped out of the book.

After so many years of auditioning, this was the first time that Zhang Yimou saw an actor who was so similar to the character in the script.

To the point that he even lost his composure a little.

He stayed on Chen Jin for more than ten seconds without saying anything.

"Director Zhang!"

Fu Lulu couldn't help but remind Zhang Yimou, and Zhang Yimou finally let out a cry and came back to his senses: "Okay, it's OK!"

Everyone then stopped smiling, but Chen Jin still had a smile on his face.

The third brother is such a person in real life.

Even if he wasn't laughing out loud, his face always looked like it was smiling, and that's why he gave people warmth.

90%!

Chen Jin saw the progress of his task.

Only 10% left and the mission will be completed.

This time, the audition progressed really quickly, directly from 10% to 90%. The power of that specific role experience card is really amazing.

Now he is actually the third brother, because he has experienced the other person’s life and has not yet gotten out of this role!

"Wait for notification!"

Zhang Yimou finally said something, he almost let it slip just now.

His eyes couldn't help but look at Chen Jin again.

Is this guy acting?

It was too much like the image of the third brother in his mind.

It is really hard to tell Zhang Yimou's acting skills. He definitely doesn't have such acting skills at this age. But if he wasn't acting, then why didn't he give him such a strong feeling before?!

Although Zhang Yimou was attracted by Chen Jin's smile at the beginning.

Then there is only one reason left - to play himself.

Chen Jin was indeed acting, but he didn't understand anything at all. Yet he just acted like the third brother in the script.

There is only one possibility.

"This is God sending me a third child!"

Zhang Yimou grinned, watching Chen Jin and the others change their clothes, and suddenly smiled at Chen Jin and said, "Chen Jin, do you want an autograph?"

"..."

The other students from Beijing Film Academy who had just changed their clothes couldn't help but be stunned.

sign?

What signature?
"Yes!"

Chen Jin smiled, and Zhang Yimou hurriedly said to Pang Liwei behind him: "Liwei, bring a poster over!"

"Okay, the audition is over, wait for notification!"

Seeing that Dou Xiao and a few others were still standing there, Zhang Yimou hurriedly spoke.

Everyone looked at Chen Jin, but then retreated one by one.

But Chen Jin got a poster signed by Zhang Yimou.

"No one is there?"

Zhang Yimou asked Fu Lulu, and Fu Lulu nodded: "Yes, there is no one left, Beijing Film Academy has finished the interview!"

"Let's go then!"

"There are still a lot of things waiting for me to deal with in the studio..."

Zhang Yimou greeted Chen Jin, and seeing Chen Jin solemnly rolled up his autographed poster, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Are you taking the Beijing Film Academy retest today?"

"Yes, the morning just ended!"

"go!"

Zhang Yimou pointed in front of him, and Fu Lulu and others followed him and walked out of the multimedia building.
