From janitor to actor

Chapter 332 Dialect Performance
After several staff members from Chongqing City arrived, the director explained the situation clearly and asked them to help comment on which dialect and acting skills are more suitable for the characters.

Those few people were a little curious. After working in the crew for so long, this was the first time they encountered such a situation.

With the mentality of watching the excitement, they nodded happily to indicate that there was no problem.

Xu Zhi glanced at Ren Shuai, thinking that since he made this request on his own initiative, he should do everything right and be the first to perform.

Let Ren Shuai feel ashamed after watching it, and completely cut off the idea of ​​competing with him.

"I'll go first." Xu Zhi said directly after thinking about it.

The director had no objection and turned to look at Ren Shuai.

"Of course, you can do whatever you want." Ren Shuai said kindly with a smile.

Wei Yan sighed secretly, at first she didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Ren Shuai's gourd, so she thought he had a back hand.

As a result, until now, I haven't seen any of Ren Shuai's hole cards and counterattacks. Instead, he followed Xu Zhi's rhythm all the way, and was completely at a disadvantage.

She really felt aggrieved for Ren Shuai, she never thought that he was such a bully.

Just when several people were thinking about each other, the director handed Xu Zhi a short script.

"Teacher Xu, let's just perform this paragraph lightly."

This is a story about a teacher going home to buy vegetables after class. During the period, he met a few familiar vegetable vendors and chatted a little.

After seeing the clip, Xu Zhi nodded confidently and said, "It's time to start."

There were only three lines in total, and he memorized them simply by reciting them.

Due to the rush of time, everyone did not find a special place, and started performing directly in the director's suite.

Xu Zhi glanced at Ren Shuai, then calmed down and slowly entered the role.

He is also an experienced old actor, and his professionalism is remarkable. Coupled with his good looks, he can indeed capture the favor of some people.

The five selected temporary judges began to watch the performance seriously, and felt that they had a good first impression of Xu Zhi.

Wei Yan also stayed to watch. Although she felt that Ren Shuai had no chance of winning, she felt that Ren Shuai was introduced by herself. Even if she lost, she couldn't stay in the show, and she had to accompany him from beginning to end.

But she quietly observed Ren Shuai's expression, and could only see a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, completely unable to see the frustration that he was about to lose his role.

Don't guess what the old artist is thinking, you can't figure it out even after guessing.

Xu Zhi found a good feeling and started to perform directly.

"Boss, how much money do you want?"

After he finished speaking, the director said in a friendly way: "9 yuan a catty."

"It's so expensive, how about less?"

Xu Zhi looked at the director with an authentic expression, as if he was really serious about bargaining.

Due to the fast speaking speed, the director didn't understand it very well, but fortunately he had the lines in his hand, so he knew that Xu Zhi was asking him why it was so expensive and if it could be cheaper.

He replied directly: "It can't be lowered anymore, small business, there is no profit."

"Okay, give me a catty of cabbage, and another catty of vegetables." Xu Zhi said with a helpless sigh.

After speaking, he made the gesture of reaching out to pick up the food.

"Okay, card."

When the director saw that the performance was over, he yelled to stop.

The five temporary judges nodded and applauded one after another. Although there were not many lines just now, they could be heard at once. It was a very authentic Yushi dialect.

In the performance, people can tell at a glance that he is shopping for vegetables, and his expression when bargaining is also very accurate.

After Xu Zhi finished his performance, he smiled slightly, and nodded in a very gentlemanly way to the five temporary judges.

Then he turned his head to look at Ren Shuai, and said with a smile, "Mr. Li, it's your turn."

Although he said so, Xu Zhi was already waiting for Ren Shuai to give up on his own initiative.

Although they are all good at acting, but in terms of dialect, he doesn't trust that Shuai can imitate it just by listening to these few sentences.

The dialect of Yushi is not so easy to learn, even if you know a general idea, don't try to express its essence.

The director also turned to look at Ren Shuai, thinking that if he had no chance of winning, he might not perform again. Although it was a pity, this was the result of Ren Shuai's own choice, and he couldn't interfere.

Wei Yan sighed inwardly, and also looked at Ren Shuai.

But Ren Shuai walked directly to the middle of the room with a few steps, and then said with a smile: "Okay, then I can start directly."

As soon as this remark came out, no matter Xu Zhi, the director or Wei Yan all showed expressions of surprise.

None of the three expected that Ren Shuai would be willing to perform in such a situation.

While the spirit is commendable, it's really not necessary.

If you are a newcomer in the film and television industry, it is okay to say that Ren Shuai is already an old artist, and he will definitely cherish his feathers, but he is still wise to perform even if he loses.

Xu Zhi laughed secretly, feeling that Ren Shuai was playing tricks in front of him, and he was beyond his control.

After Ren Shuai was in place, he clicked on the dialect card and used it.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for using the dialect card, the dialect performance ability has improved]

Ren Shuai listened to the prompt and immediately entered the role.

He took two steps, as if he was observing the quality of vegetables in each stall, and after looking around, he stopped at one place.

He raised his head slightly and said, "Boss, how much money do you want?"

At this time Xu Zhi was very surprised. He didn't expect that the first sentence Ren Shuai uttered was a bit authentic, but he was not worried. This sentence was just a lack of words. Ren Shuai would be able to speak more similarly after learning his accent. If the shortcomings are revealed, a few more words later should reveal the truth.

The director didn't expect that the Yushi dialect spoken by Ren Shuai was so standard, so he quickly answered, "9 yuan."

When Ren Shuai heard this, he immediately frowned, made a gesture of pushing the vegetables away, and said, "Wow, it's expensive, so please tell me?"

After saying this, Xu Zhi froze on the spot.

The five temporary judges kept turning their heads. It felt like this, and it was like the bargaining that was often heard in the vegetable market.

The director's reaction was a bit slow. He didn't understand the meaning of the last sentence, but several temporary judges showed satisfaction, so he quickly answered, "It can't be less, small business, no profit."

After hearing this, Ren Shuai sighed slightly, pointed to the non-existent vegetable stand in the air and said, "Okay, let's get a bag of rice for a catty, and another catty of vegetables for nothing."

After saying this sentence, Xu Zhi showed a puzzled expression. Although Ren Shuai's accent was very standard, he didn't understand what it meant in the end, then don't want a mother?
Some of the judges were also puzzled, while others nodded repeatedly and applauded before the director called to stop.

Wei Yan watched the whole process, and basically didn't understand a word.

But judging from the reactions of the five temporary judges from Yu City, Ren Shuai seemed to perform better than Xu Zhi.

It's just that the lines spoken by the two are slightly different.

The lines in the script are all in Mandarin, and the two translated them into dialects based on their own experience. It is normal to have differences.

It depends on whose dialect is more authentic.

It depends on what the five judges say.
