Huayu: What the heck is it that the actor gave me CS skills?

Even with words given on short notice, this is still achievable.

This means that it's basically all about the actors themselves.

Pan Chen wasn't surprised that this happened to a veteran actor, but it was surprising that it happened to Yu Su, a former extra.

He was surprised.

Because the role of a spy is so far removed from ordinary people, it's very rare to find the inherent qualities of this character within ten minutes.

Zhang Zhishu was like that, except he was looking in the wrong direction and was still thinking about problems using modern thinking.

They didn't dig any deeper...

Of course, it could also be because the time allotted was too short.

Pan Chen declined to comment on this point.

Yu Su has two lines left: "Open the package" and "Take it away."

Instead of having his assistant open the bag directly, he added some preamble.

Actors need to learn to add scenes for themselves in order to gain more attention.

But the premise is that you can't add too much; it has to be so natural that even the director is speechless.

This way, adding scenes won't offend the director.

"What's in the bag?"

Yu Su felt that all the agent's actions were likely aimed at observing the assistant.

So what he says isn't important; what's important is observing whether the suspect will give himself away during the process.

According to normal human logic, if the other person's bag really contained prohibited items...

Then when Yu Su asks, the other party will definitely panic.

The assistant was a bit confused; there was no such term. He even glanced back at the director.

Pan Chen ignored him, and his assistant understood that he was being asked to improvise.

The assistant was speechless for a moment, then thought for a moment and said perfunctorily, "Clothes."

"Open."

"oh."

The assistant obediently lowered his head and pretended to open the bag.

Yu Su suddenly spoke up: "Stop!"

The assistant looked up at him, bewildered and puzzled.

Yu Su stared intently at his assistant, his eyes like those of someone eyeing prey. After a long while, he smiled and said, "Continue."

The assistant, too lazy to complain, subconsciously followed Yu Su's pace and continued opening the package.

"stop!"

The assistant was getting angry, and the way he looked at Yu Su was strange.

The audition is to test you, not me!

Almost got it!

Seeing his assistant's reaction, Yu Su suddenly smiled, turned around, waved, and casually remarked.

"take away--"

Yu Su believes that people with real problems will reveal their true colors before their problems are exposed.

Therefore, he doesn't need to wait until the bag is fully opened. Just like a police officer interrogating a criminal, a few words are enough to break down the other party's defenses.

Secret agents have more power than police officers; they don't need evidence, they only need to know if you are a suspect to take you away directly.

He's a professional.

After Yu Su finished his performance, his assistant was still standing there in a daze, while Pan Chen clapped.

"good."

Pan Chen genuinely appreciated it, because that performance could already be used directly in the play.

Of course, it was just Yu Su; the assistant's acting was completely off-key.

Even so, the assistant was somewhat emotionally disoriented by Yu Su's pulling and tugging.

If the assistant is the actual co-star, the chemistry between the two will be even stronger.

"I noticed you added a few lines in the middle, why?"

Pan Chen mainly wanted to know whether this was his own understanding or something someone had taught him.

After all, Yu Su got in through connections, so it's not surprising that he had access to this information.

Yu Su explained his understanding from earlier.

"Mainly, I created a background and character design for this role..."

"Furthermore, I don't think spies would be so rigid in their search for criminals, after all, this is wartime."

"..."

That's about it.

After Yu Su finished speaking, Pan Chen glanced thoughtfully at the two people beside him.

He thought for a moment and waved his hand: "You can go out now. Remember to leave your phone number. We'll let you know if we hear anything."

"clear!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Su figured things were probably settled.

Auditions are just like job interviews.

The phrases "we will notify you" and "remember to leave your phone number" have different meanings.

If they only say "notice" and not "phone call," it's highly likely they don't think you're interested and are just trying to save face for you.

Basically, they don't notify us.

The phrase "please remember to leave your phone number" is actually redundant, but since it's redundant, it must have its own meaning.

After Yu Su left, Pan Chen looked at the other two.

"How is it?"

Wu Gang didn't speak immediately, but the smile on his face was impossible to hide.

After all, Yu Su got in through his connections, so if Yu Su performed well, he would also feel proud.

Bai Tao pursed his lips: "The acting is good, the details are good, and the pacing is excellent."

He didn't mention the added lines, but in terms of acting skills, it was indeed quite good.

"I think we could even upgrade him to a higher level."

Pan Chen was somewhat surprised: "A supporting role?"

"If his condition remains stable, then it's entirely possible."

Pan Chen fell into deep thought.

They've only released minor supporting characters, or rather, episode characters, today.

Filming was basically completed in one day.

There are more lines than Bi, and there are also minor character developments.

But the supporting characters Bai Tao mentioned are those with their own character storylines, and such characters are very important.

This wasn't a decision Pan Chen could make. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's leave it to Director Li to decide, then, for now?"

Bai Tao nodded, Wu Gang +1.

There are cameras filming during auditions, and those who perform well are edited out and sent to the director, Li Jun, for a final decision.

Pan Chen also thought Yu Su was a good candidate, and since Wu Gang was still around, he simply went along with it.

"..."

Yu Su knew who had gotten him through the back door, but he hadn't made it public.

As Old Deng said, although the unspoken rules are obvious, they must not be made public.

This is a major taboo in the industry.

That's why Yu Su didn't greet Wu Gang, since there was a nameplate in front of him.

As Yu Su was leaving the hotel, he unfortunately ran into Chen Shu again.

She seemed to have finished her work and came out just in time. The two looked at each other, and she paused for a moment before nodding.

Yu Su took the initiative to tell her, "Sister Shu, I think I might have passed the audition."

Chen Shu: "...Then good luck."

Chen Shu didn't know what to say, after all, the two had only known each other for a few hours.

But looking at Yu Su's confident demeanor, and recalling his non-professional resume from earlier, one can see the contrast.

Chen Shu shook his head inwardly.

Even for the role in Peace Hotel, she auditioned several times; the team had very high requirements for her acting skills.

It also requires actors to fit the image and temperament of the character.

This makes it even harder to find.

Fortunately, she and the female lead had a very compatible temperament, which is why they were cast on the second attempt.

Yu Su was not from a professional acting background and basically played minor roles. Chen Shu felt that this was probably the last time they would meet.

"..."

After Chen Shu left, Yu Su also prepared to leave.

He's done everything he could at the audition; now it's just a matter of seeing the results. If it doesn't work out, he'll postpone it.

For Yu Su now, the most important thing is to improve her acting skills.

His 60% positioning already gives him the ability to play a supporting role.

If we're talking about 100% suitability for the role... in terms of role fit alone, he absolutely crushes all the actors on the market!

This applies to people of all ages!

Of course, this is on the premise that his aiming practice is thorough.

What is pre-aiming?

Yu Su judged that it must be due to prior understanding of the character, roughly knowing what emotions the character needed for this scene.

A sudden stop demonstrates the ability to control emotions effectively, without lingering or dragging things out.

Positioning allows for the precise expression of the emotions required by the character.

Now he can stop abruptly at full speed and get into and out of character extremely quickly, even more professional than those with formal training.

Although the positioning success rate was only 60%, Yu Su's understanding of pre-aiming was very accurate.

This can be attributed to his own talent.

With this talent, he knows what kind of emotions he can release, thus narrowing down the range of emotions he can define.

Yu Su felt that the resulting emotional accuracy should have reached 70%.

"But you still need to practice more."

Yu Su rode his bike straight to the internet cafe, ready to push his sixty-year-old status to seventy.
