Chapter 85 Is this a newcomer?
The person sitting in the main seat among the three is Zhao Jiarong, the director of this film.
Lin Yu recognized the name.
She directed the movie "Cry Me a Sad River" in her previous life, and later she also directed a web series called "The Legend of Yue Lin", which received mediocre reviews.
He remembered that the director's resume was quite interesting.
He was a writer by profession, worked as a magazine editor, had only a high school education, and had never systematically studied directing.
If this had happened in 2000, a director like this would have been criticized so much by the industry that he would have been forced to leave.
But in 2016, this made sense.
Even demons and monsters can become directors now.
Of course, this may also be related to Guo Jingming.
After all, he was the original author of the novel, and he was also the producer of the film.
Hiring a director who is obedient is much less troublesome than doing it yourself.
Lin Yu was very familiar with the third person on the stage.
Sun Yonghuan, head of the talent agency department at Enlight Media.
own people.
When Sun Yonghuan saw Lin Yu enter, he smiled and nodded, his eyes filled with encouragement.
Today she was wearing a beige business suit, her hair was tied up at the back of her head, and she looked capable yet approachable.
As a high-ranking executive at Enlight Media, her presence itself is a statement.
The lighting in this movie is top-notch.
"Hello teachers, I am Lin Yu, and I am auditioning for Qi Ming."
"Hello teachers, I am Tian Xiwei, and I am auditioning for Yi Yao."
"Hello teachers, I am Zhang Ruonan, and I am auditioning for the role of Tang Xiaomi."
The three people stood properly in the center of the room, facing the three judges on the stage.
Guo Jingming's gaze lingered on Lin Yu for a few seconds.
He had to admit that this young man did indeed have the face of a teen idol drama.
With delicate and three-dimensional features and a well-defined profile, standing at over 1.8 meters tall, even in the simplest white T-shirt and casual pants, he looks like he's posing for a magazine.
It's a pity, she's not his type.
Guo Jingming sighed inwardly.
But it doesn't matter, since these are the artists that Enlight Media is focusing on developing, so he can't easily mess with them.
As for the two little girls next to them...
Tian Xiwei is as sweet as a peach.
Zhang Ruonan was as pure as a summer breeze.
She's good-looking enough to be the lead or second lead actress.
He's just not interested in beautiful women.
"Let's begin." Zhao Jiarong flipped through the documents in her hand, then looked up at the three of them.
"Let's test the female lead's scenes first. Tian Xiwei and Zhang Ruonan, you two go first."
Tian Xiwei and Zhang Ruonan exchanged a glance and took a deep breath at the same time.
They walked to the center of the room and stood in the positions they had rehearsed before.
There were no tables, no chairs, and no props.
It all comes down to acting skills.
Zhao Jiarong leaned back in her chair, her expression indifferent.
She didn't actually have high expectations.
Tian Xiwei has just been admitted to the Shanghai Theatre Academy and hasn't had much systematic training in acting yet.
Needless to say, Zhang Ruonan is a student at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China in Hangzhou. She used to be a Taobao model and has absolutely nothing to do with acting.
What kind of performance can these two people deliver?
Guo Jingming shared the same idea.
He was even prepared to "replace the person if it doesn't work out".
Sun Yonghuan, however, was not nervous.
She didn't know much about Tian Xiwei and Zhang Ruonan, but she trusted Lin Yu's judgment.
Since Lin Yu recommended these two people, he must have his reasons.
"Action," Zhao Jiarong said softly.
Tian Xiwei's expression changed instantly.
She is no longer that sweet and adorable girl, but a girl who is overwhelmed by life and full of defensiveness.
She stood in a corner of the room, pretending to have just come out of the alley.
Her steps were slow, each one carrying a sense of weariness.
It felt like walking a very long way, or like stepping on a knife's edge with every step.
Then, she saw Zhang Ruonan.
She stopped in her tracks.
Her eyes widened slightly, and her mouth opened a little, but not completely.
That expression wasn't one of surprise or fear, but something complex and indescribable.
She frowned slightly, then relaxed.
The corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily, as if he wanted to laugh, but he held it back.
That wasn't a gloating laugh, but a sense of relief that "you've finally met your match."
But then, her eyes darkened.
That darkness wasn't that my eyes turned black, but rather a kind of disappearance of light.
It was as if a light had been turned off in her eyes, and she suddenly felt heavy-hearted.
She thought of herself.
I realized that I was also someone who was bullied.
I thought of myself and Tang Xiaomi; we were actually the same.
Everyone is struggling in this quagmire, but some people choose to hurt others to protect themselves.
This expression lasted for less than two seconds.
But the three people on the stage sat up straight at the same time.
Zhao Jiarong's eyes lit up, and she unconsciously stopped writing.
Guo Jingming's expression changed from calm to serious. He tapped his fingers lightly twice on the table, a habitual gesture when he was thinking.
Sun Yonghuan opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but then swallowed it back.
The nuances in this expression are something a newcomer couldn't achieve.
Tian Xiwei continued her performance.
The two performed exactly as they had rehearsed at the hotel the night before.
Ten minutes later!
The two of them finished filming this scene.
The entire audition room was silent for a full five seconds.
Then, Zhao Jiarong led the applause.
"Great! Excellent!" She stood up, her expression shifting from calm to excitement. "You two acted wonderfully!"
Guo Jingming also clapped, though the gesture was small, his expression clearly showed satisfaction.
"These are newcomers?" He turned to look at Sun Yonghuan, a hint of disbelief in his voice. "Are you sure they haven't acted before?"
Sun Yonghuan was also taken aback for a moment, but she quickly recovered and said with a smile.
"They are indeed newcomers. Tian Xiwei just got into the Shanghai Theatre Academy and hasn't attended many classes yet. Zhang Ruonan was a Taobao model before and has never acted."
"Impossible, right?" Guo Jingming shook his head. "Their delivery of lines, control of facial expressions, and understanding of their characters are nothing like those of newcomers."
Sun Yonghuan smiled but didn't say anything.
Her gaze swept over Lin Yu, who was standing in the corner, and she knew the answer in her heart.
The fact that these two young girls were able to act so well is probably inseparable from Lin Yu's influence.
Tian Xiwei and Zhang Ruonan were overjoyed to hear the praise from the three teachers, but they still maintained their obedient expressions.
"Thank you, teacher. We will continue to work hard," the two said in unison.
After they finished speaking, they secretly glanced at Lin Yu.
Lin Yu gave them a thumbs up.
The corners of both girls' mouths turned up at the same time.
After Zhao Jiarong sat down, she flipped through the documents in her hand and looked at Lin Yu.
"Next, Lin Yu and Tian Xiwei, you two will act out the scene between Qi Ming and Yi Yao at the beach."
"Okay." Lin Yu nodded and walked to the center of the room.
Tian Xiwei also walked over and stood opposite him.
Zhao Jiarong leaned back in her chair, her gaze fixed on Lin Yu.
She didn't actually have high expectations for Lin Yu.
It wasn't that she didn't think highly of Lin Yu, but rather that Tian Xiwei and Zhang Ruonan's performances were too amazing.
It would be incredibly embarrassing for an actor who has acted in several films and TV series to be outshone by two newcomers.
Guo Jingming also sat up straight, his fingers tapping lightly on the table.
He was very curious about Lin Yu's acting skills.
After all, this kid changed his script.
He won't give you any leeway if you act badly.
