Chapter 51 051: This performance tests his skills, Director Lai faces a choice

Su Youpeng arrived in Beijing on February 27.

And the next day, she and her agent went to the Yahuan Film and Television Company in Beijing to audition and take photos. After seeing the final makeup photos, Lai Shuiqing was very satisfied.

He asked Su Youpeng to play Zhang Wuji by name.

However, Wei Yong'an, the general manager of Yahuan Film and Television, did not immediately nod in agreement, but vaguely said that he would wait and see.

In fact, Mr. Wei was quite satisfied with Su Youpeng, but he agreed to Principal Zhou's request to give Xu Ning a chance.

This made it difficult for him.

The director named Su Youpeng,

The direct leaders also said hello.

No matter who you choose, they are all...not human inside and out.

Moreover, this is a joint venture film between Mainland China, Taiwan and Singapore. Although Ya Huan holds the largest share in it, he cannot decide to change the lead actor at short notice with just one sentence.

Wei Yongan was sitting in the office thinking about it. Just when he couldn't figure it out, a female secretary opened the door and walked in.

"Mr. Wei, the starring cast of Legend of Heaven and Dragon Slayer has been decided. Here are their resumes. Please take a look."

Female secretary Xiaoli walked up to him with long legs and handed a stack of documents to Wei Yongan.

Wei Yongan looked at it for a while and had no objections to the others, but he became more and more angry when he saw Su Youpeng's photos.

The female secretary seemed to have noticed something, understood it, and immediately said sweetly:

"Mr. Wei, how come the TV series we invested more than 15 million yuan in is starring all Baodao people?"

Wei Yongan didn't think much and blurted out:

"First, he is famous, and second, Director Lai appointed him..."

"No, no, how can the leading actors in a joint venture film be all from Baodao... This is against the rules."

"Haha, Lili, you are really my good secretary. I have an idea."

Wei Yongan stood up excitedly, holding Lili's weak and boneless arms with both hands, looking very excited.

…

meeting room.

Xiangjiang director Lai Shuiqing and Railway Art Troupe director Yang Tao sat in the conference room.

There were several assistant directors sitting next to him, including Assistant Director Wang who called Xu Ning.

In recent years, as the film and television industry in Hong Kong has gradually declined, many well-known directors have chosen to develop in the mainland.

Lai Shuiqing was one of the first batch of Hong Kong directors to come to the mainland to film.

Without his full promotion and running around, the 2002 version of "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword" would not have been born.

After Xu Ning entered the door, he greeted everyone politely.

Lai Shuiqing originally didn't want to watch Xu Ning's interview, but his boss asked, so he had to bite the bullet and watch it.

Looking up,

I saw Xu Ning’s very sunny smile,

Suddenly,

Lai Shuiqing became interested in this young man.

One of his requirements for filming "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Sword" was that "everyone in the cast should be handsome."

This is the casting standard he has always adhered to since he started working in the industry.

Director Lai believes that an actor's acting skills can be trained, but their appearance cannot be changed, so they must find someone who is "eye-catching".

Regardless of whether they are actors or actresses, whether they are old or young, we should try our best to find good-looking ones.

Just look at Yitian’s lineup and you’ll know,

Gao Yuanyuan is a newcomer at this time, but she can play Zhou Zhiruo... just because she is good-looking.

Let’s talk about supporting roles,

All of them look good.

All the Emei sect members are beauties, the Ming sect members are all good-looking, and the Seven Heroes of Wudang are all beautiful.

Therefore, when Lai Shuiqing saw Xu Ning, her heart skipped a beat: "This Xu Ning, both in face and height, is far more than Su Youpeng. Why didn't he be discovered earlier?"

Sitting on the left side of Director Lai, Assistant Director Wang, who had called Xu Ning for the interview, sat upright now.

Xu Ning's sunny and handsome appearance is very attractive to married women like her.

"Are you Xu Ning? Let me briefly introduce myself."

Lai Shuiqing spoke personally. Previously, this kind of work was done by Assistant Director Wang.

"Director Lai, Director Yang, my name is Xu Ning. I am 22 years old this year. I come from Huaidong City, the hometown of the great man. I have acted in..."

A neat introduction.

Lai Shuiqing nodded: "I can see that your line skills are pretty good."

Xu Ning glanced at the system panel and thought that the attributes of [Language Acting - Line Skills (5.8/Elite)] must be good.

The attribute points of this level are stronger than those of many outstanding graduates born in majors.

"Well, let's try out a scene."

Lai Shuiqing took the prepared piece of paper and said.

The assistant immediately took it and handed it to Xu Ning.

This scene was prepared solely for Xu Ning.

The purpose is to dissuade him.

Although Lai Shuiqing had a good impression of Xu Ning, he had been in contact with Su Youpeng for several months. If he suddenly told the other party that he wanted to replace him, he would really not be able to bear it.

Xu Ning took a look at the paper and said,

I feel bad in my heart.

Director Lai probably didn't want to let him pass.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have asked him to try out a scene from Zhang Wuji’s childhood.

But it’s here, so let’s try our best.

Whether he can win over Su Youpeng is no longer something he needs to consider now.

Now, he has to perform this scene well.

Only then can the next possibility be possible.

So, Xu Ning immediately read the lines.

Thanks to the improved understanding brought to him by the system, he memorized dozens of words of lines in less than a minute.

This scene is about Zhang Cuishan and his wife being bloodied in Wudang, and the young Zhang Wuji losing his parents but being forced to hide by Xie Xun by a man who claimed to be a well-known and decent family.

After memorizing the lines, I opened the properties panel and looked at the relevant properties, feeling more confident.

Line skills (5.8/elite)

Line emotion (4.1/skilled)

Line burst (5.0/elite)

Line Rhythm (4.0/Proficiency)

Crying scene (3.1/skilled)

Among them, the basic skills are the line skills.

This attribute refers to the ability to speak lines "without any technique".

But if you want your lines to be infectious, you must continuously improve the other three attributes.

The three [Proficient Level] and two [Elite Level] acting skills on the panel should be enough to cope with this performance.

"Director Lai, I'm ready."

Lai Shuiqing was still looking at his resume and nodded: "Let's get started. Xiao Wang, please cooperate with him."

Xu Ning brewed his emotions for a while.

"I won't cry, I won't cry."

"I will never cry to you evil people."
