Chapter 5 Auditions
As an individual actor, Gu Yunkai's advantages and disadvantages are equally obvious.
The advantage is that he doesn't have to be coerced to do what he doesn't want to do, but by the same token, his PR and development resources can already be called incompetent.In this case, the so-called advantage can only be said to be a kind of helpless psychological comfort.
At the same time, Ye Kai's audition was particularly valuable. Although Gu Yunkai knew nothing about the entertainment industry, his work experience told him that even if he failed the audition, as long as he performed well, he would win the hearts of others. Make a good impression, even if it is not suitable now, maybe there will be suitable opportunities in the future.
Failure never means complete failure.
Now that you have an opportunity, you should treat this opportunity well. Gu Yunkai can tolerate failure, but he can't allow himself to fail without any effort, so that he won't even have to find excuses afterwards.
"The Clear Sky of Love" is an urban romantic comedy. Ye Kai did not use Uranus superstars and popular actresses. The male lead is Su Qing, a powerful actor who has always been half-popular. The female lead is kept secret for the time being. The rest of the auditions are supporting roles and Small character, this TV series has been relatively mysterious since the beginning of preparation, and Gu Yunkai's news is not well-informed, so I only got a general idea.
It's hard to predict what will happen in the audition. When Gu Yunkai and Gu Jianyue got into the car and set off, Gu Yunkai's tense palms almost sweated a little. Fortunately, Gu Jianyue was more nervous than him, but in contrast, it made him relax. Take a breath.
There are about 50 people at the audition reception, maybe more, of course the chief director will not appear here. What Gu Yunkai will meet this time is the casting director. That little supporting role.But even so, being able to participate in such a TV series is already considered luck. Without Hao Ying's help, he probably wouldn't even get this opportunity.
There are not too many people, but everyone is making preparations. If you rush to expand contacts or make friends at this moment, I am afraid it will not go well. What's more, making friends with strangers is a science. Gu Yunkai has a card in his hand. If not, the idea of opening the mouth is saved.But Gu Jianyue didn't have such scruples, and went to chat with other managers.
Gu Yunkai went to get the number and the audition book to see, the audition is like this, maybe you can get the script earlier, maybe you can only grind your guns before the battle, you can’t say for sure, sometimes it is even possible that you will be let on stage without any preparation, directly in the performance in front of the director.He didn't know the industry well, so he was more cautious.
There were more people waiting for the audition. There were a few young and familiar singers, most of whom were recommended by the agency. Although their image was not bad, their acting skills were not very good.
The role of Gu Yunkai is a flower shop owner. He has a few lines to communicate with the hero and heroine, but not many. The requirement is to express a kind and positive attitude towards life. Not helpful, purely a florist.
But this made him feel strange. There was a lot of preparation for such a small role. In the past few days, he made up a lot of entertainment stuff. He saw several faces that were quite familiar. Normally speaking, this kind of role with only a few lines should be flocked to by young actors who are not even considered stars.
It's just that he doesn't understand deeply, and he doesn't know if this situation is normal.
After waiting in the waiting hall for about an hour, it was Gu Yunkai's turn to play. He took off the mask and stuffed it into his pocket. The actor who is quite confident in his own strength thinks that Gu Yunkai is just a vase, and only looks at him with nonchalant eyes.
The audition room is entered in groups of two, partners with each other, or you can choose your own way to interpret the role and speed up the progress.The others had to wait outside. Gu Yunkai lined up for the second group. His partner was not very familiar. He was a young man with a frivolous appearance. His hair was dyed a little yellow, but he was quite youthful and energetic.He flipped through the script casually this time, and didn't read any more. The flower shop owner's lines were very simple, but the script itself only had a rough idea, so sometimes the performances were self-explanatory.
The group came out not long ago, and Gu Yunkai went in with the yellow-haired young man instead.
There are 3D projections in the audition room. The small room is like a small flower shop, and those virtual flowers will sway gently with their movements. Although Gu Yunkai has long known that technology is different, seeing it with his own eyes is still the same. I was quite surprised, but he quickly restrained his expression.
Casting director Xu Tiansheng is also a gold medal director in the industry. He and Ye Kai are classmates. The two often help each other and are also rivals in competition. Ye Kaili invited him to be the casting director for this collaboration.But it’s not surprising, Ye Kai has an out-of-the-ordinary personality, but he is an absolute perfectionist in his works. He strives for perfection in any role. Filming his scenes is usually very difficult, but being able to film his scenes is tantamount to gold-plated.
Gu Yunkai was still a little nervous outside, but now that he came in to audition, he was not so nervous. He searched the small room with his eyes. There were about six or seven reviewers sitting there, and the one in the middle was Director Xu Tiansheng, with a messy beard and round-rimmed glasses, is a little fat and looks very kind, just like the God of Wealth on the stickers.
The gender requirement of the flower shop owner is male, but there is no restriction on age and body type. There are several middle-aged actors who have played the role. In fact, as far as Xu Tiansheng himself is concerned, he is more optimistic about the previous Li Chu, but Li Chu is just Appropriate, not completely close, after all, the script is only a semi-finished product, if there are better actors who can perform this role more comprehensively, of course he is happy to see it.
Same as before, Xu Tiansheng asked a few small questions gently, and the two people in this group answered quite well, but the one named Gu Yunkai made Xu Tiansheng's eyes shine, as the saying goes, who doesn't love handsome men and beautiful women, but Good looks does not mean acting skills. Xu Tiansheng saw too many vases, and his enthusiasm was not particularly high. He smiled and signaled for the two to start acting.
The young man with yellow hair was doing nothing outside. Seeing that these teachers were a little scared, he asked Gu Yunkai to perform first, and he acted for him.
The flower shop owner only has a few scenes in total. In the first scene of the script, the hero buys flowers with him to coax his new lover, which mainly shows the hero's casualness and flamboyance.The audition is also filming this scene, but the partner only needs to act as a customer who buys flowers.
After Gu Yunkai briefly introduced himself and the role he auditioned for, he took a few steps back and walked into the projection of the virtual flower shop, fiddling with and pruning flowers in the flower shop. His expression was completely different from the humble and polite him just now. It became warm and bright, with an intoxicating smile on his cheeks, he lowered his head slightly, and rubbed the tip of his nose against the flowers, as if there really was a strong fragrance of flowers exuding, with a smile in his eyes, a small room with ordinary light It was like a sunny day in an instant.
Xu Tiansheng's female assistant couldn't help covering her chest, her eyes seemed to contain a river of spring water, secretly thinking that if there is such a flower shop owner, the business will not be overwhelmed!
Xu Tiansheng also nodded, with a satisfied smile on his face.
Gu Yunkai's acting skills are mediocre, but his looks really add too much points. Among the roles interviewed so far, he is considered to be relatively high on average.
"Boss, give me a bouquet of red roses!"
In contrast, the customer played by the young man with yellow hair seemed a little too exaggerated and too forceful. Although the focus was not on him, Xu Tiansheng couldn't help but frowned in comparison between the two.
Gu Yun opened his eyebrows and raised his eyebrows slightly, trimmed the red roses, and then spread out the wrapping paper and ribbons, not forgetting to say hello to the customers: "Morning, sir." He paused for a moment, speaking in a friendly tone without being overly enthusiastic , "Send your lover or confess your love?"
"Confession." The young man with yellow hair said.
"Seven roses represent secretly loving you." Gu Yunkai held up the non-existent bouquet. His appearance was originally on the cold side, but after a slight adjustment of the expression on his face, he suddenly had a kind of warmth and sweetness. His eyes were as clear as water, and he blinked his right eye, with a bit of playful kindness, "I wish you success, and I charge you 59 yuan."
The young man with yellow hair suddenly blushed for some reason, and he answered dryly in embarrassment, a little bit lost.
The performance ended here, of course Gu Yunkai didn't care what his partner thought, he turned around and bowed to the director and the reviewing teachers.
Xu Tiansheng exchanged glances with the other teachers, and they all found some appreciative smiles, and said with a smile: "Your performance and lines are good, we will contact you."
For Gu Yunkai, the audition really came to an end.
