Chapter 006 Audition (II)
Only Lin Xiao remained composed. After the initial assessment and his impressions from the previous Kangxi Dynasty, he knew that these individuals' acting skills were absolutely inadequate; they might manage to play minor roles, but there was no way that Yinreng and the others could handle it.
He was just about to leave when both he and the person outside the door were taken aback.
The audition is essentially a monologue, where one delivers a segment according to the script, and the overall performance is evaluated, or the examiner may have additional requirements. However, this time, the examiner is likely the most prominent one in the country.
Next. A voice came from within the tightly closed palace doors
"Is Chen Lao under such great pressure?" The remaining few murmured to themselves with uncertain expressions.
Lin Xiao took a moment to steady himself, having no time to closely observe his competitors. After waiting for nearly an entire afternoon, it was finally his turn. He adjusted his clothing to ensure he was in the best possible state of mind and stepped inside.
It was unclear who swallowed their saliva, but the sound of the throat rolling made others feel exceptionally harsh, prompting them to turn their heads and involuntarily furrow their brows
Ah...
The girl thanked him once more, closed the door, and left. Lin Xiao straightened his clothes, tousled his wig a bit more, and went out to find the staff.
The fat man quickly interjected, "Tell you to go out, change to the next one!"
After being led by the staff to a grand hall, he discovered that four or five people were already standing outside: "Elder Brother."
Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows. In fact, he had not spoken since arriving here. The person who just left had an acting skill level of 100, which was the highest among this group, and being eliminated was entirely to be expected
Alert, alert. Highest threat level, doomsday threat level actor. Name: Chen Daoming, Acting skills: ??? Other data https://www.hetushu.com.com cannot be detected. Exceeds system predictions
As expected, within five minutes, that person emerged looking disheveled, and Lin Xiao even noticed that his undershirt was damp.
He stared in astonishment as he watched below, where Kangxi was fiercely patting Yinreng's shoulder, his expression inscrutable as he said: It's good that you have returned
Go out and head north for thirty meters. You can ask your agent to take you there said Lin Xiao with a smile
He still walked in slowly, but he was not looking down, and his expression was not one of dejection
"Go out." Chen Daoming gently brushed the tea cup
The gap between Chen Daoming and Lin Xiao is too great
However, above this, there are exceptional actors. Even if it is a spur-of-the-moment decision, it will not make the performance feel abrupt. More importantly, he is not only able to lead the performance, but he can also make everyone follow his lead
Beep beep beep! At the same time, a series of alarms began to ring in his mind, much louder than the ones he had seen on television when watching Wang Leehom.
"Hey. This is my first time acting opposite Mr. Chen!" said a young man beside him, forcing a smile, but a layer of cold sweat had already formed on his forehead
There is no doubt that Chen Daoming is indeed a top-tier actor
In film and television, there are countless instances where special situations arise, all of which must be resolved through quick thinking.
Acting alongside such an actor is painful, yet the growth is remarkably swift. This thought flashed through Lin Xiao's mind like a spark of lightning, and he immediately realized that this was a performance, and he must not delay. He promptly continued with the original lines: "As a son, I mistakenly fell into the ambush of Gelidan, fighting repeatedly and breaking through amidst ten thousand cavalry..."
This kind of action completely stems from that fleeting inspiration! If the counterpart is not an equally seasoned actor, it is likely that such inspiration would not spark. It tests the accumulation of both individuals' experiences in film and television, as well as their ability to think on their feet
The "pull" door opened, and a young man with a face full of both vigor and gloom stepped out from within, clearly having not passed.
Let us begin. Chen Daoming sighed, pressed his fingers against his forehead, and somewhat impatiently waved his hand towards Lin Xiao
Chen Daoming waved his hand, and when Lin Xiao knelt down, he gently said: "Get up"
In this scene, Yin Rui is a defeated general, his wig disheveled, no longer embodying the nobility of a prince; those unaware might think this is an audition for some special role.
Hmm? The fat man and Chen Daoming exchanged a glance, but neither spoke.
His lines were not long; after a few sentences, Chen Daoming closed his eyes and listened. After a long while, he sighed and said: "The courage of a common man, pull him down and punish him with a stick"
More importantly, both individuals altered the script! Originally, it was: "Yin Rui entered in a daze, and Kangxi shouted: Get up!"
His originally calm heart was stirred by this damned system. It seems that it has exceeded the performance limit of 999, directly transforming into something else.
The two individuals simultaneously looked up at the doorplate, and the girl timidly asked, "May I ask if this is the dressing room for the audition of Su Malagu?"
"Old Chen, you also have to consider the production budget," a nearby overweight man lamented, knowing full well that he absolutely could not offend Chen. He could speak freely about second-tier and third-tier actors, and even first-tier actors had to be approached with caution. However, when it came to the film emperor, the highest-rated actor in China, it was not his place to show any displeasure.
He clearly felt several uncertain gazes following him from behind
Identification, Lin Xiao said to himself
Complex emotions intertwine, and no one wishes for anyone to be chosen, yet there is a hope that someone will be selected to break this tense atmosphere. The feeling of being neither here nor there torments each remaining individual.
The momentum has been lost! From his years of experience in the previous life, he knows that in this instance, if the director does not call "CUT," the scene will just pass. Second-rate actors follow the script, while first-rate actors have the script follow them
Old Chen, what is this...?" the fat man asked in astonishment, "Revising the script? This kind of inspiration usually comes after several years of experience as an actor. This person looks to be only 20; how could they possibly have such insight!
He remembers that in the original version, the eldest prince walked in dejectedly, knelt down, and began to cry, and the script reflected this as well. However, this time, he intends to make some slight modifications
"Look at the kind of people you have attracted with those sponsorships!" As soon as he opened the door, he heard a furious shout from inside.
Indeed... who would have thought that it was Teacher Chen himself auditioning..." Another person also said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid none of us in this group would catch his eye.
Oh, I am sorry, I took the wrong way. The beautiful woman playfully stuck out her tongue and said, "Thank you"
At the entrance stood a very beautiful girl, approximately seventeen or eighteen years old, with a typical oval face. Her smooth black hair cascaded down her back, and her eyes were filled with a lively spirit. Her skin was as white as snow-white tofu
The person quickly straightened their clothes, took a deep breath, and entered
The changing room was very quiet. He quickly changed his clothes and was about to walk out when suddenly the door was pushed open
As the sound of the wooden door being pulled echoed through m.hetushu.com, everyone's gaze was fixed upon it, filled with tension, anticipation, and a thirst for any useful information that might be revealed.
As a result, he smiled; this person's acting skills only reached halfway, not yet entering level E. He glanced at a few people nearby, none of whom were taller than him
Through the tightly closed door, a faint sound emerged, and he knew that an audition was taking place
This person, a Chinese individual well-known for his exceptional portrayal of emperors, is Chen Daoming, who is said to be unparalleled in this role. Even when not playing an emperor, his performances in various characters are profoundly impactful. It is by no means an exaggeration to call him a top-tier actor in China
He had no expression on his face, and his two eyes pierced into Lin Xiao like two sharp swords. Even though Lin Xiao did not look up, he could still feel an invisible pressure, as if he were facing the supreme ruler.
If the last time the chubby man was astonished, this time he is shocked! The audition actually had the veteran actor Chen Daoming performing opposite him! Clearly, he has taken an interest!
Without confronting the battle, fear prevails; if an actor cannot overcome this psychological barrier, even the best acting skills are of no use. He shook his head and waited for the results along with the others
The atmosphere at the entrance, under the influence of a certain failure, gradually became heavy without anyone noticing. Initially, there were still occasional exchanges of words, but by the time only a few people remained, it had turned into a complete silence.
Once again, a young man emerged with his head hung low. Upon seeing the gazes of the crowd, he forced a bitter smile and shook his head.
With a sense of assurance in his heart, his tension had dissipated completely through the self-regulation he had become accustomed to in his previous life. After contemplating the script once more, he stood outside the door waiting.
The speaker has a long, slender face, with eyes that are not large yet radiate brilliance. He is dressed in a long robe of bright yellow traditional attire, holding a cup of tea with a look of dissatisfaction as he drinks.
Lin Xiao was the last to enter mhetushucom.com. Every person who had entered before him came out dejected.
This is the film emperor. Lin Xiao clenched his fist, determined that one day he would reach this level, and not just on the mainland; he wanted the whole world to remember his name
In the bustling film crew, Lin Xiao was taken aback upon seeing such a beautiful woman: "No, this is Yin Xuan's dressing room"
Old Chen's demands are truly high ... ... '' A person in front of Lin Xiao had a face full of bitterness, and his voice was somewhat low: `` I have seen this person's acting skills; he has played two or three minor roles ... ... he should be better than me ... ... ''
Lin Xiao nodded, walked to the door, and this time, he entered with even more ease than before, even lifting his head. One could say he strode in with confidence, completely unlike a defeated general who had just been captured and released from the hands of a great enemy.
The fat man is completely out of control! This is not just a slight change in the script; even the dialogue has changed! This is introducing new elements!
"Join the Emperor." Lin Xiao quietly walked up to Chen Daoming, made a slight bow, and spoke in a low, somewhat subdued voice
The entrance and exit of each individual can stir the thoughts of several people outside. Watching the first brother walk into the changing room, the next brother adjusted his clothes and followed him inside
After the atmosphere shifted from a moment of tension to relaxation, it became strange again. Auditions are always like this; no one speaks much. After watching this young man leave in disappointment, someone finally couldn't help but let out a sigh
However, Chen Daoming suddenly slammed the teacup down hard! Tea splashed everywhere, and with his eyes wide open, he demanded: "Speak!"
Next
I am asking him to go through it again!" Chen Daoming shot a glance at the chubby man and turned to Lin Xiao, saying: "Act however you want, just let it flow. I do not want to see an actor who is confined to a single mold.
