China Entertainment Times 1999

Chapter 5

"Are you here for the audition too?"

Lin Xuan was watching intently when a slightly hoarse female voice came to his ears.

Turning his head to look, Fan Xiaopang wandered over here at some point.

She was wearing a cream-white down jacket, black thermal leggings, and a pair of brown thermal boots.

Although the little fat girl is not as gorgeous as the future one, she is still young, beautiful, tender, and has a pair of talking eyes that seem to enchant people, making people unable to help but stare at her.

Lin Xuan had had several beautiful girlfriends in his previous life, but this was the first time that he received such a strong blow for his appearance. He is worthy of being the darling of major luxury goods and haute couture.

Lin Xuan was thinking wildly in his heart, but his face was calm and calm: "Yes."

Fan Xiaopang got the answer he wanted, stretched out his thumb and encouraged: "Come on."

Lin Xuan looked at the extras around him and immediately understood what was going on. He pretended to be stupid and asked, "Am I the only one? Don't you want to cheer for others?"

Fan Xiaopang rolled his eyes, his expression was speechless, as if he was asking why you asked such a stupid question.

"I have a scene with an officer and a soldier, so I definitely want to find someone handsome. Otherwise, thank you. I've looked around and you are the most handsome among them."

"It's gone around in a circle..." Lin Xuan looked at Zhou Jie who was reading the script carefully in the tent in the distance and asked: "Including Erkang?"

Fan Xiaopang's expression was a little surprised, and his beautiful eyes were wide open.

She didn't expect this extravaganza to be so bold and dare to tease the lead actor behind his back.

I remember that when she participated in "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", she was very timid. She would say hello to everyone she saw, for fear of offending others.

"You guessed it." Fan Xiaopang left a sentence and left, bringing with him a fragrant breeze.

With the encouragement from the beautiful woman, Lin Xuan gained a little more confidence.

"Next, Lin Xuan."

"coming!"

………………

The director of the Return of the Pearl series is Sun Shupei, a native of Bay Province. He was a martial arts student in Peking Opera. He worked as a bit player, a stand-in, and a martial arts director. Later, he felt that there were too few opportunities in Bay Province, so he went to the mainland to develop. As a result, he was successful as soon as he made the move. "Huanzhugege" is a divine drama.

"Hello, Director Sun."

When Sun Shupei heard someone saying hello, he glanced casually at first, then suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Xuan.

"It's such a waste to be so handsome and act as an extra?"

Have a vision!
Lin Xuan was ecstatic: "I have also been a prospect and a special agent."

"Oh." Sun Shupei nodded in response and said, "You have read the script, and you will act...the part where the officers and soldiers beat the old man."

"Good director."

Sun Shupei flipped through the script and began to read the lines: "Please give him a sip of water, he is about to faint."

Lin Xuan's eyes changed and he quickly entered the state, with an impatient expression on his face: "Faint? I'll whip you a few times and you won't faint."

With that said, Lin Xuan began to perform without any physical objects, pretending to hold a whip in his hand and whip it hard.

"Drink water, drink some water!"

Sun Shupei continued to read his lines: "How come you have no sympathy at all? Don't you have any elderly people at home?"

Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment, then his expression became ferocious and he flew into a rage, whipping the "Golden Suo" with all his strength: "You're looking for death...it's not your turn as a prisoner to teach me a lesson."

Sun Shupei looked at it for a while and then said, "That's it."

Lin Xuan immediately returned to normal, his heart beating nervously.

I acted a little too hard just now, might the director be dissatisfied?

A common problem for new actors is that when playing some exaggerated roles, they tend to use too much force, causing their facial features to fly around. The reason is that their acting skills and understanding of the characters are not in place.

To Lin Xuan's surprise, Sun Shupei didn't have any dissatisfaction on his face. Instead, he asked with a smile: "You performed well just now, and your expression and tone were on point. Have you studied acting before?"

It’s weird if you’ve learned...

"I have never studied acting, but I have read a few acting-related books, and the rest is just a matter of being an extra and figuring it out."

"Oh." Sun Shupei responded, and then remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

Lin Xuan's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

It's not like I didn't choose it.Although my acting is not particularly good, it is much better than these crooked melons and jujubes.

Not long after, Sun Shupei said: "It's just you, I won't watch the rest. But you are too handsome, so you have to put on makeup to look ugly, otherwise you will steal the limelight of the male protagonist."

Lin Xuan immediately turned from worry to joy and said excitedly: "It's okay, you can draw whatever you want. Thank you, director, thank you, thank you."

The onlookers saw Lin Xuan take the role, with complex expressions on their faces, including envy, jealousy, and even resentment.

Lin Xuan doesn't care about other people's eyes at all. If he is not envied by others, he is mediocre. This is true in the workplace and even more so in the entertainment industry.

"Brother, congratulations, you just performed so well."

When the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed, Wang Baoqiang was the first to run up to express his congratulations.

"Thanks."

Lin Xuan thanked him casually, feeling a little emotional in his heart.

If it hadn't been for the last night's impromptu training, it would have been uncertain whether I would have gotten the role today. It seems like I can't stop recharging my studies for a whole day.

After a while, Liu Yang also ran over with a smile, stretched out his thumb and said excitedly: "Nice! I knew you could be selected."

"I have to thank Brother Yang for giving me the opportunity."

Lin Xuan was very polite, and he would have to rely on him to find resources in the future.

Liu Yang put his arms around Lin Xuan's neck and showed a malicious smile: "I'm telling you, those extras were not selected and are making a fuss over there, clamoring for their money back."

"What's the situation? According to the rules, if you can't choose, you won't get a refund."

"If you don't get selected in the audition, you won't get a refund, but you haven't auditioned yet."

Liu Yang's smile was brighter than the flowers, and he really agreed with what he said. He was happier when he saw his peers losing money than when he made money himself.

Lin Xuan suddenly realized it and smiled helplessly.

Because his performance was so good and the shooting schedule was tight, the director did not give other extras a chance to audition, which led to those extras seizing the opportunity to ask the group leader to refund their money.

After having fun with Liu Yang for a while, Lin Xuan found the crew's props to change into costumes.

Although it was a special contract with lines, the treatment was no different from that of ordinary extras. They were still given stinky rags.

He chose a less smelly costume and put it on, then went to the makeup artist to apply makeup. Lin Xuan also borrowed the makeup girl's mirror to take a look.

"How are my skills?" The makeup girl was quite proud.

"very good!"

It successfully concealed my handsome appearance, but it still fulfilled the director's requirements.

When leaving the dressing room, the lead actor Zhou Jie happened to walk in.

Lin Xuan quickly stepped aside and said, "Hello, brother Jie."

Zhou Jie didn't even glance, she just nodded casually in response.

Lin Xuan looked at his back and suddenly thought of the "tongue kiss" scene a few years later.

In fact, sticking out your tongue in a kissing scene in this era is really not a big deal.

Whether they are from Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao or Taiwan, many actors have the title of "Tongue Kissing Devil".

Even Lin Ziwei's future husband is one of them.

If you are more shameless, you can still talk about it on variety shows.

It's completely different from ten years later, when male actors would be pulled out and criticized if they crossed the line even slightly.

Zhou Jie's tongue-kissing incident was so out of control entirely because Lin Ziwei would take him out and whip him out every once in a while.

The snowball snowballed, causing the host to ask about it every time she appeared on the show.

As time went by, Zhou Jie's popularity with the public fell away.

Of course, this is also related to his conduct and character.

After being in the industry for so many years, I didn’t even have anyone to help me speak at the critical moment, so I could only passively be beaten.

As long as someone with weight comes to support or remind Lin Ziwei, his popularity will not decline all the way, and he will have no choice but to withdraw from the industry and do business.
