N-M Chapter 272 Talent is all about appearance!
Chapter 272 Talent is all about appearance!
Liu Qianqian was born in a privileged family since she was a child. Her grandparents are the first and second leaders of the local hospital. Her father is a university professor and diplomat. It can be said that she has surpassed 95% of the people in the country since she was born.
Even after her parents divorced, her mother Liu Xiaoli remarried a Chinese lawyer who was doing well in New York, and he took her to get a green card, which ensured that Liu Qianqian would always have good food and clothing even in a foreign country.
There is also a godfather who is doing very well in business, so that she can make good arrangements for her to return to China and pursue her dream of becoming a star in the entertainment industry. When she was 14 and a half years old, she got the admission notice from Beijing Film Academy. As soon as she returned to China, she directly joined the cast of "The Golden Family" and got the second female lead. She also beat out many female stars in the popular "Dragon". Wang Yuyan's role.
Even though Liu Qianqian's qualifications are indeed outstanding, who would believe that she, a newcomer, could be treated like this just because of her natural beauty? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this series of arrangements is obviously backed by a background.
But this time it was different. No matter whether he was his biological father, stepfather, or godfather, he could not speak in the crew of Wu Yuchen.
Liu Qianqian remembered what her mother Liu Xiaoli said to her before:
"Sissi, since you have chosen to be an actor, this time "The Boy in Striped Pajamas" is a rare opportunity for you. You must know that this is Wu Yuchen's movie. If you can get his favor, you will be in the future. Not only in China, the door of Hollywood can also be opened to you! ”
Even though Liu Qianqian is just a newcomer to the entertainment industry and has never seen or experienced the fierce competition among actresses in the entertainment industry, she also knows that this time is very important for Wu Yuchen's works.
In fact, it wasn't her audition time for her role yet today, but she and Shu Chang came here just to see the world first, get a foot on the ground, and avoid stage fright. Looking at the situation in front of me where all the big-name celebrities in the country are crowded together to audition one by one, it is really not in vain!
…
In the room, Wu Yuchen stretched. The Mesozoic actors who auditioned for the role of father this time are basically a handful of the top actors in the country. He also observed everyone's performance very carefully. This interviewer did not do it lightly.
There are many actors who have very good acting skills, but they all have small flaws that Wu Yuchen picked out, or they have problems with the role of father.
Director Chen is the kind of actor who looks like himself in everything he plays, which makes you feel good when you watch it, but when you think about it carefully, Wu Yuchen feels that he is a little different from the character.
Wang Zhiwen did a pretty good job, but his figure is a problem. When he was young, he was only 108 pounds when he was 180cm tall, just like a stick. It's better now and has increased to 120 pounds. But he still looked thinner, and for this role, Wu Yuchen felt that he couldn't hold up the air of an officer standing there.
In this respect, Pu Cunxi is better than Wang Zhiwen. He is better at acting and stronger than him. But Pu Cunxi's face is a bit gentle, although he has played Sun Ce in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" before, and also played a police officer...
"Director Wu, I see you are still hesitant?"
Listening to Gong Li's words, Wu Yuchen didn't hide it: "There are two people I'm not quite sure about yet, Zhang Guangbei and Teacher Chen Baoguo."
Needless to say, Chen Baoguo is now very famous thanks to "The Mansion Gate". In everyone's impression, he basically acted in TV series and rarely in movies. But in fact, ten years ago, many excellent movies were produced. The glass flower in "The Whip" can be regarded as a classic image in the history of Chinese film, and "Scented Soul Girl" even won the Berlin Golden Bear. Those people who said he couldn't act in movies were probably not even born when he acted!
When it comes to acting skills, there is no doubt about Chen Baoguo's performance. Although there is a hint of majesty in his eyebrows, he is just right for the role of his father, an officer.
The other Zhang Guangbei may not be very famous, but when it comes to Lu Bu in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and Chu Yunfei in "Bright Sword", everyone knows who they are. Needless to say, there is definitely no problem with the image. In terms of acting skills, he is also a movie star. He has acted in many movies before "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and has been nominated for the Golden Rooster Award and Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actor more than once.
It has to be said that many actors in the Mesozoic era actually had good acting skills, but they lived in an era that had just caught up with the budding and initial stages of Chinese-language movies, and there were too few opportunities for so many good actors to perform. When the film and television industry really explodes more than ten years later, these people will be older and can only serve as foils.
Gong Li also watched the two people's audition performance, and even went on stage to act with them, but now she didn't dare to express any opinions. She had already said what she thought during the previous audition. Now is obviously the critical moment for Wu Yuchen's final selection. If his words affect Wu Yuchen's decision-making, the other person will blame her to death if word gets out.
"Director Wu, you have to think about it carefully."
Wu Yuchen smiled, but he still had two or three days to consider, and then he had to continue to choose actors for other roles.
At this time, Gong Li also chatted with Wu Yuchen about the script: "Director Wu, when you first wrote the script, didn't you think about writing the protagonist and his father as neon people? I feel like this would make the drama of the movie More tension?"
Wu Yuchen smiled when he heard this: "I have thought about it, of course I have! But this will cause some problems. First of all, this will make many details and logic in the movie more far-fetched. The main thing is A little neon boy communicated with a little Chinese boy in a concentration camp without any obstacles..."
In the original movie, the two little boys are both German, speak the same words, and have similar cultural backgrounds. If one is set to be a neon man and the other is Chinese, even if it is shown to a group of white people in the United States, They may think it's nothing, since they all look the same, but many domestic people will feel a little awkward looking at them.
Considering the environment at that time, could a neon child with a different culture and language really become friends with a Chinese child from a concentration camp?
Therefore, Wu Yuchen finally considered setting both of them as Chinese and his father as a puppet soldier, which would make the logic smoother.
On the other hand, if the whole family is really set to be Neon People, then the role of the other characters will be greatly reduced and reduced, and the impact of the Neon brainwashing plot in the movie will also be diminished. Greatly weakened.
Speaking of which, I have to mention the other two characters that will be picked out in the next two days.
One is the sister of a little boy and wants to be an actress between 12 and 14 years old. After reaching puberty, one's thoughts began to change drastically. She abandoned the doll, believed in ethnography under Neon's brainwashing education, and became obsessed with the militaristic Neon officer. girls.
The role of the sister can be said to be the second female lead in the movie. The female lead mother showed her collapse and helplessness after learning the truth, while the role of the sister was in sharp contrast to the little boy, and also showed the audience the horror of brainwashing.
Wu Yuchen was holding the information at this time and looking at Liu Qianqian who was introducing herself:
"My name is Liu Qianqian... I have made a lot of preparations for this audition, including reading relevant materials and books. One of them is "Go Girl", which I like very much. I think..."
Hearing this, Wu Yuchen was stunned for a moment. Has this little girl watched "Go Girl" so early? Is it the butterfly effect he brought about?
In fact, the book itself is not very literary, has no sense of historical significance, and lacks tense conflicts and touching plots. If the setting were changed to modern times, it would definitely be a low-level love novel, even lower than Qiong Yao's novels. ah.
However, after Liu Qianqian promoted this book and let it out of the circle, a lot of controversy arose. Some say it is anti-war, while others say it glorifies the invaders. Wu Yuchen will not comment on the specific content and tendencies. After all, everyone still needs to read and judge this thing for themselves.
But one thing can be said. The author used the alternating perspective of the Chinese girl and the militaristic neon officer to write the story. As a result, the skills in the two perspectives are different. The emotions and stories from the perspective of the neon officer are obviously more abundant, but the content from the perspective of the Chinese girl seems a lot superficial, and the characterization is sometimes difficult to describe. It is self-evident which one is more important, readership or empathy.
So Liu Qianqian said that she is fascinated by this book, and it is even her favorite novel... According to high EQ, goddesses also read vulgar love novels, which is very down-to-earth; but for low EQ, Liu Qianqian's reading aesthetic is really not elegant at all!
Wu Yuchen shook his head slightly, putting aside these messy thoughts, and then looked at Liu Qianqian in front of him, who was 170cm tall, beautiful in appearance, and had excellent temperament. First of all, he mentally deducted her image points.
That's right, points are deducted. First of all, this height is a bit too high. What he wants is an adolescent girl. At 170cm, she is taller than many adult women.
The second thing is that she is so beautiful. This is not filming "Go Girl" or a love movie. Why would he find such a beautiful girl to play the sister?
But we can't just beat him to death with a stick. Some girls have specially read "Go Girls" and even done emotional resonance. It seems that they have really put in the effort. We have to see what the performance is like. Maybe it is really good. Woolen cloth?
"The admiring gesture of a little girl..."
"There has to be a change, from shock to admiration for a person's expression..."
"Let there be light in your eyes!"
Wu Yuchen looked at Liu Qianqian's performance and wondered what kind of groundless fantasy he was having. You might as well say directly: "Sissi, right?"
Liu Qianqian immediately said respectfully: "Director Wu, please tell me~"
"I see that you have been admitted to Beijing Film Academy, and you can be considered my junior sister. With your conditions, you can become an idol or a star, and you can also play specific roles. But if you want to get out of your comfort zone, I suggest that you spend the next few years Lay a good foundation and experience more life! ”
When Liu Qianqian heard this, she didn't know what the other party meant. She suddenly felt disappointed. However, she still had a good education. She politely said to Wu Yuchen: "Thank you, Director Wu, for your teaching. I will definitely do well in the future." study!"
After Liu Qianqian walked out of the door, Gong Li shook her head and commented: "Talent lies in appearance!"
Wu Yuchen said with a smile: "I think her previous life was too good and she couldn't keep up with the world."
After Liu Qianqian walked out of the room, Liu Xiaoli, who was waiting outside, immediately came up to her and asked with concern: "Qianqian, how are you?"
Liu Qianqian drooped her face and shook her head: "Mom, I feel that Director Wu may be dissatisfied with me."
"Ah? What's wrong?"
Liu Qianqian explained in detail what she had just experienced inside. Shu Chang, who was listening beside her, comforted her: "Qianqian, it may not be what you think. Maybe Director Wu is encouraging you~ Otherwise, why would you still do it?" Give you some advice?"
Liu Xiaoli sighed inwardly, but also encouraged her daughter: "What Changchang said makes sense. Sissy, don't be too disappointed. At least Director Wu has a good impression of you."
At this time, the staff there called Shu Chang's number and name, and Liu Qianqian said to her good friend: "Chang Chang, come on!"
Liu Xiaoli also patted Shu Chang on the shoulder: "Chang Chang, perform well, auntie is optimistic about you!"
Shu Chang left a bright smile on the two of them, turned around and walked into the room.
Shu Chang and Liu Qianxi had a similar growing experience, but it was much more miserable. Her father did not want her when she was born, and she was raised by a single mother. When she was 10 years old, her mother died of illness, so she could only live with her aunt.
Therefore, this also made Liu Xiaoli feel very sorry for this little girl. Shu Chang would always take part in bringing her daughter meals on the set, which also made Shu Chang very close to their mother and daughter.
After a while, when Shu Chang came out of the room, Liu Qianqian immediately greeted him: "Changchang, how are you?"
Shu Chang still had a bright smile on his face at this time: "I don't know how it is, but I feel that Director Wu is quite kind."
Liu Xiaoli also asked: "Changchang, what did Director Wu tell you?"
"It seems to be the same as what I told Sissi, suggesting that I study at Jingying! Don't let me waste my talent~"
When Liu Xiaoli heard this, how could she not be able to tell the difference between these words and what she said to her daughter? This Shuchang may have been chosen!
…
In the room, Wu Yuchen and Gong Li were communicating at this time: "This Shuchang is good, the acting is good, and the height is just right for a 14-year-old who is less than 160 centimeters. It's just right for you mother and son to stand together."
Gong Li said with a smile: "Director Wu, this kind of good talent should be sent to our Yang Opera to train! The Liu Qianqian in front of me is suitable to be a star at first glance, and this Shu Chang is suitable to be an actor!"
"Haha, both Beijing Film and Television are fine. I'm afraid that she won't want to go to either and will find an ordinary university, wasting her talent and regretting it in the future."
If Wu Yuchen remembered correctly, in his previous life, Shu Chang was admitted to the National Theater Academy in his second year of high school, but was rejected by her. The next year, I went to Beijing International Studies University, and ended up developing in the film and television industry.
I don’t know if I will listen to his advice this time. However, he decides on his own future. What is important to him is that the actor for this role has been decided!
