Chapter 41: The Director's Surprise
The group entered the director's room.
Lin Yu looked at Jiang Jiajun, who was sitting in the middle of the stage.
He is the director of this TV series.
But I've had my share of reading Jin Yong's works.
It seems that "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" was later remade.
However, in the TV series he filmed before.
Lin Yu's most memorable experience was the TV series "The Myth".
At the time, the drama starring Hu Ge was very popular.
Everyone waved to the teachers on the stage.
The three teachers on the stage nodded.
Jiang Jiajun looked down at the resume in his hand.
Of course, the first person to catch his attention was Lin Yu.
However, having only played Gu Huan in "Untouchable Lovers," her experience seems somewhat limited.
However, his academic background at Beijing Film Academy and his connection to Enlight Media still piqued his interest.
Of course, the second person who interested him was Chen Xingxu.
He had many roles, so he was considered a child star.
Moreover, they are students at the Central Academy of Drama.
She is not inferior to Lin Yu either.
As for the others
Many of these are just formalities that we have no choice but to go through.
The entertainment industry is a society based on personal connections.
Some people still need to be given a chance.
Finally, the assistant director announced that the performance had begun.
This time, the performance was still without props, which fully tested the acting skills of each actor.
The first few actors who went up made Jiang Jiajun shake his head.
Some people stumbled over their lines.
Some even took their scripts and started reading them aloud on stage.
Lin Yu looked at the guy reading his lines on stage and admired him even more.
My brother is really not afraid of losing face.
Finally, only Lin Yu and Chen Xingxu remained.
Chen Xingxu was the first to go on stage and perform.
No wonder they're from the Central Academy of Drama.
The actress demonstrated a very solid grasp of these emotional scenes.
Although there weren't any highlights, the performance was decent.
However, compared to those people before them, they are much better off.
Jiang Jiajun nodded in satisfaction.
In his eyes, Chen Xingxu's performance was already up to standard.
After all, she's only twenty years old.
Chen Xingxu was quite satisfied with his performance; at least among those who appeared, his performance was the best.
I just don't know how good the acting is for the remaining one.
However, he had to admit it.
This one, however, is more handsome than him.
However, acting skills are still essential in film and television productions.
Otherwise, all those male models would be in the entertainment industry.
All eyes were on Lin Yu.
Lin Yu walked naturally onto the stage in the center of the performance area without the slightest stage fright.
After all, he had experienced thousands of auditions in his previous life, both successful and unsuccessful.
These are all minor incidents.
"Hello everyone! My name is Lin Yu, and I come from the Acting Department of Beijing Film Academy. I previously played Gu Huan in 'Untouchable Lovers'." Lin Yu introduced himself according to the established procedure.
As for the background lighting, there's no need to discuss that at this point, since the auditioning teachers can see it all.
Of course, if I say it out loud, the auditionees will start to speculate again.
"Start your performance!" Jiang Jiajun nodded and said to Lin Yu.
Lin Yu instantly entered the role of Yang Kang.
At this moment, Lin Yu also directly used the ability of noble temperament.
The next moment, Lin Yu exuded a subtle air of nobility, as if he had truly transformed into a young prince of the Jin Kingdom.
However, Lin Yu controlled this air of nobility exceptionally well, after all, this was his parents' funeral hall.
There was no one in front of him.
But in his imagination, a solemn and cold mourning hall suddenly appeared, and the grief of his parents' passing swept over him.
He imagined Mu Nianci standing quietly in front of him, her eyes filled with complex emotions, softly asking him a question.
Ask him about his future plans and what he wants to do next.
Lin Yu was immersed in the role, and a layer of confusion and sorrow instantly settled between his brows.
His body trembled with a hint of bewilderment, and his eyes were filled with helplessness, pain, and the disorientation of a collapsing identity.
He spoke slowly.
His voice was hoarse and suppressed.
Full of dejection and dejection.
"I don't know... I don't know who I am, or where I'm going. Just go, don't worry about me!"
The line, without deliberate shouting or exaggerated sentimentality, is full of emotion, and the pronunciation is clear and steady.
The confusion, sadness, despair, and self-abandonment in his tone progressed in layers.
His micro-expressions were perfectly controlled; his brows furrowed and his eyes reddened, revealing his suppressed grief.
He perfectly portrayed Yang Kang's panic and helplessness at this moment, when his family suddenly suffered a tragedy, his identity collapsed, and his future seemed bleak.
Jiang Jiajun, who was sitting in the main seat, had been watching quietly, but now a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
He had thought Lin Yu was just good-looking, but he never expected that his acting skills and emotional empathy were so solid.
This kind of performance without props achieves such an immersive and engaging experience, with rich and nuanced emotional layers, far surpassing other contestants of the same age.
Chen Xingxu's expression instantly turned serious.
A sense of pressure inexplicably rose in my heart.
He watched the whole thing and clearly sensed that Lin Yu's performance, in terms of emotional depth, facial expression control, and character immersion, was a level above his own.
That innate sense of fragmentation and confusion was something I was far from being able to portray.
He clenched his fist secretly, hoping that this was just a fleeting moment of brilliance.
Otherwise, I'm afraid I really have no chance of winning this audition.
Lin Yu on stage did not stop performing.
The emotional transitions were exceptionally smooth and fluid, and the acting was flawless.
He naturally followed the character's state of mind, perfectly portraying Yang Kang's journey from being deeply confused and filled with sorrow.
Then, upon hearing Mu Nianci's promise of unwavering devotion, he felt a mixture of astonishment, surprise, and a barely perceptible touch of emotion.
Every micro-expression was handled with extreme delicacy and precision, vividly portraying the character's inner turmoil and demonstrating the mastery of facial expression control.
Jiang Jiajun sighed inwardly.
Among today's new generation of actors, it is extremely rare to find young people who can calmly hone their acting skills and portray the inner emotions of characters with such subtlety and vividness.
He was already extremely satisfied with Lin Yu's performance in the dramatic scenes.
The only concern is that the role of Yang Kang involves a lot of ancient costume action scenes and sword dance scenes. I don't know if Lin Yu's martial arts skills can keep up with such a top-notch level of dramatic acting.
Lin Yu slowly withdrew from the role, calmly detaching himself from the character's emotions, and the audition for Yang Kang's funeral scene without props officially came to an end.
He bowed to the teacher on the stage and then left the stage.
The three teachers on the stage nodded repeatedly.
"Yang Kang has a lot of action scenes in the drama, so we still need to test the actors' basic action skills." Then Jiang Jiajun looked at one of the auditioning teachers next to him.
The teacher walked to the center of the stage.
"Hello everyone, I'm Bao Wenfeng, the martial arts director for this show. I'm going to demonstrate a simple routine, and then you can all come up and imitate it one by one," the instructor introduced himself.
When Lin Yu heard this name, it sounded familiar.
He remembered that this person was the martial arts director for "The Great Wudang" and "Rise of the Legend".
Although these two films are somewhat disappointing, the martial arts action is still quite good.
next moment!
Bao Wenfeng held a long sword, and with a slight twist of his wrist, a swift sword flower was drawn, accompanied by a whooshing sound.
Immediately afterwards, he executed a set of basic sword dance moves with fluid grace, his movements precise and full of charm.
The entire set of movements was neither too fast nor too slow.
Bao Wenfeng deliberately slowed down the pace and demonstrated the entire performance twice. Then he signaled the participating actors to come forward one by one to imitate and perform the performance.
After watching Bao Wenfeng's demonstration, Chen Xingxu quietly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a weight lifted from his heart.
He was well-prepared; in order to win the role of Yang Kang, he secretly practiced martial arts fundamentals a month in advance.
He put in a lot of hard work, especially in mastering sword techniques.
I believe I can easily imitate these basic movements.
This is his perfect opportunity to turn things around.
When it was the turn of the first few actors to go on stage, their performances were all mediocre.
Some people have a loose posture, and even the most basic sword-holding posture is crooked and awkward, lacking any ancient charm.
Some people's movements are stiff and their hands and feet are uncoordinated, resulting in messy and chaotic swordplay.
These people completely lack the spirit and bearing of martial arts heroes.
Bao Wenfeng shook his head secretly as he watched.
He could tell at a glance that the other party had no martial arts background whatsoever and was just cramming at the last minute.
Soon it was Chen Xingxu's turn to take the stage.
He took a deep breath, composed himself, took the longsword, and calmed down to recall the details of the martial arts director's moves.
Starting, turning, swinging the sword, performing a flourish, and finishing the pose—the entire set of movements was perfectly replicated.
The process was smooth and the posture was neat. Although it lacked some of the charm of flowing clouds and water and there were still some flaws in the details, it was already considered outstanding among actors of the same age.
After reading it, Bao Wenfeng nodded slightly and gave his opinion in his heart: He has a good foundation. With a little professional training, he can definitely handle Yang Kang's martial arts scenes.
After Chen Xingxu left the stage, everyone's eyes immediately turned to Lin Yu.
Everyone was filled with curiosity.
This newcomer from the Beijing Film Academy, whose dramatic performance just stunned the audience and whose presence and acting skills are both top-notch,
Is this where things will end?
