Entertaining Children

  Chapter 107 Interview

  Xiao Yao's second year of junior high school has been a monitor that made most people very satisfied. Everyone is not ready to change after entering the third year of junior high school. Everyone has decided to continue to nominate Xiao Yao as the monitor when the squad leader is re-elected after the beginning of the third year of junior high school. There are even a few guys who are ready to meet on the first day of the third year of junior high school, and they will directly tell Boss Xiao what everyone plans to do, so that he will be mentally prepared. As a result, after the beginning of the third year of junior high school, everyone discovered that their monitor, Boss Xiao, hadn't come.

  Semester has started, but the head of a class is nowhere to be seen, so the head teacher naturally wants to explain a little bit to the students in the class. But the head teacher simply said: "Xiao Yao took a one-month leave, and he will not come to school until after National Day. During this month, the deputy head of the squad will temporarily replace the head of the squad." He did not disclose much further information.

  If the teacher didn’t say anything, the students didn’t dare to ask the teacher.

   So Chen Mingfei, who has the closest relationship with Xiao Yao, became the target of everyone's inquiries. After class, Chen Mingfei was surrounded by a bunch of people.

   "What happened to Boss Xiao? Why did you take such a long time off? You must know that, right?" The crowd gathered around Chen Mingfei and asked.

   "What can happen to Boss Xiao? It's only over a month. With his performance, let alone more than a month, even if he takes half a year off, he can still get the first letter. Believe it or not?" Chen Mingfei evasively said.

"Even if there is no problem in studying, you won't take such a long time off for no reason. There must be a reason. You must know, right? Say it quickly, don't sell your buddies." One of them has a good relationship with Chen Mingfei. Tao.

   "I know, but Boss Xiao told me that I can't tell. I don't want to be expelled from the teacher's door." Chen Mingfei said bitterly. Chen Mingfei really listened to Xiao Yao's words, and succeeded in losing weight with great perseverance, and Xiao Yao started to teach him kung fu with great perseverance. Without the consent of Master Liu Zhongwen, Xiao Yao certainly didn't dare to teach it casually, so he taught Chen Mingfei Shaolin Changquan, which is also good for keeping fit.

  "Then tell me, is Xiao Yao sick with something? Did you take a long vacation for treatment?" Hu Chang asked.

"I'm answering you about this." Chen Mingfei shook his head, "Of course not, what kind of sickness will happen to Boss Xiao's body? He asked for personal leave, not sick leave. As for the specifics, please don't ask me. I have said everything that can be said. Anyway, it will be more than a month. When he comes back, you can ask him if he can't?" Chen Mingfei confessed.

  So why did Xiao Yao go? The answer is: I went to the acting.

At the end of the second semester final exams in the second semester and not long after the summer vacation, Ye Jiaying handed a script to Xiao Yao and said: "August 1st, I recently took a great TV script. I think there is a character in it. It suits you very well, are you interested in seeing it?"

  Ye Jiaying has moved from the small screen of the TV series to the big screen of the movie a few years ago, and she has done a good job in the film industry, and she has taken it all. The quality of the TV series that would allow her to come back and agree to appear in it must be very good. Otherwise, she would not put the status of the film industry that she has finally earned now, and instead of continuing to work hard in the film industry, she would come back to act in TV series.

  In view of this, Xiao Yao took the script and read it curiously.

  After reading it, Xiao Yao was in a mess. Because the TV play script called "Ling Yun Zhi" at hand tells clearly a story similar to "Langya Bang" in the previous life.

If you guessed it correctly, Ye Jiaying must play the female number one, the "Princess Caifeng" who is equivalent to the "Princess Nihuang", and if you want him to act, it is the equivalent of "Fei Liu". "Cheng Ying". However, unlike "Fei Liu", "Cheng Ying" did not run through the entire play, but was murdered by the assassin in order to protect the male number one when about one-fifth of the play was left.

Sure enough, after seeing Xiao Yao flipping through the script, Ye Jiaying began to introduce: "I took the female number one in the play, "Caifeng County Lord". I would like to recommend you to play the personal guard of the male protagonist, also The "Chengying" is equivalent to his younger brother. This "Chengying" is a teenage character, and you are the right age for you. "Chengying" plays a lot, and you happen to be a martial artist, so externally You are very suitable in all aspects.

  In terms of personality, "Chengying" is a very innocent and innocent person. Because of his mental insufficiency, he is much more naive psychologically than his peers. This aspect is a challenge for you. I wonder if you, a guy who is much more mature and stable than your peers, dare to challenge such a role? "

  "Are you an aggressive general?" Xiao Yao rolled his eyes, but he was indeed moved. Although he once decided not to act for a period of time after he finished the play, it has been almost six years after all, and he had already passed the boredom period in his heart.

  Of course, the main reason why his heart is moved is because of this role.

  The role of "Chengying" is mentally insufficient, doesn't speak much, and basically hasn't spoken a complete sentence of more than five words, so in the performance, it mainly depends on actions, expressions, and eyes that test internal strength. This is indeed a challenge for him. And although this character is mentally insufficient and a little silly, but it is very cute and lovely. Thinking of the "Flying" in the previous "Langya List", Xiao Yao really wanted to take a challenge and see if he could do that too.

   "Isn't it just acting as a teenager whose mental age is much younger than the actual age? To put it bluntly, I am acting stupid and cute? I have been acting from three and a half years old. Isn't it good to act?" Xiao Yao encouraged himself in his heart.

   "When will the shooting start? Do you need an interview? How long do you plan to shoot?" Xiao Yao asked a few questions in succession, which meant he clearly agreed.

"Are you agreeing?" Ye Jiaying said joyfully, seeing Xiao Yao nodding, and immediately continued: "Now there is about a week before leaving the machine. The preparations of the crew are almost done, but there are still a few role actors left. OK. Among them, the most important part and the most troublesome for producers and directors are the candidates for the "filming". I have never found a suitable candidate. That's why I thought of asking you to try it. An interview is definitely needed, but I am right. You are very confident.

  As for the shooting period, the plan is about four months, but I will discuss with the director to shoot your part as much as possible without affecting the overall quality and progress of the shooting, so that you can leave the group early after your part is over. Of course, the two months of summer vacation will definitely not be finished, and you still have to take some time off. But based on your academic performance, it shouldn't be a problem, right? "

"Well, then I will try. You can help me arrange interviews with the producer and the director. Anyway, I don't have an agent now. I will leave all my business to you." Xiao Yao smiled and said, "Who Let you be my mother and my recommender."

   "No problem, you can rest assured to let me arrange." Ye Jiaying packed the ticket and said.

"There is one more requirement," Xiao Yao continued: "If I really get this role, you have to treat me as a stranger when I enter the crew. Don't give me any help, guidance or care. I want to see it purely. Regarding myself, how far can I achieve it."

Li Xin is an emerging TV drama director who has gained fame in recent years. He is a TV drama filmmaker. After several years of accumulation of works, he changed his job to become a director. In the past two or three years, he has produced several word-of-mouth ratings in a row. TV series. This is his first time filming a costume TV series. In order to continue his good reputation, he has strict requirements in all aspects. This is also less than a week from the original start date, but there are actors. The reason has not been determined.

  Looking at the teenager standing in front of him, Li Xin was satisfied at first glance.

  First of all, height.

"Cheng Ying" in the play is a teenage boy. He is the personal guard of the male No.1 "Wen Jun" in martial arts. He is responsible for protecting his safety, but the relationship between the two is like brothers. They are in harmony in life. Psychologically, "Wen Jun" is taking care of this mentally insufficient younger brother, so "Cheng Ying" should not be too tall, at least not higher than the "Wen Jun" actor, otherwise there will be a kind of violation in the first sense. Sense of harmony.

  At the same time, "Chengying" should not be too short. The "Chengying" in the play is a martial arts master. There are many fights, and the opponents are all adults. The fighting style in the play does not have the speculative and funny action style that children play against adults. At least in appearance, it must be performed by two evenly matched people. Therefore, the height of "Chengying" should not be too short, at least it must be. The height close to that of an adult.

Xiao Yao, who is only one month away from fifteen years old, is about 1.7 meters tall, about ten centimeters shorter than Chen Feng, who played "Wen Jun", and is already the height of an adult, which is just right for "Cheng Ying".

  Then figure.

Since "Cheng Ying" has a lot of play, Li Xin tends to find a young man with a background in martial arts, at least with very good physical fitness, otherwise he will play so many plays, plus often hang Wia. He was afraid that the little actor's body could not bear it. At the same time, because "Chengying" is known for light work, and martial arts takes an elegant and flexible path, so the appearance of the actor must match his martial arts style. Those young men who have practiced martial arts are not in his consideration at all.

Xiao Yao’s figure is “thin when dressed, and fleshy when undressed”. Although he is strong and strong, he looks thin when he wears ancient costumes and does not show a little muscle. The elegant and flexible feeling can be displayed immediately. .

  Finally, looks.

Fourteen-five-year-old children rarely feel particularly ugly. In addition, Xiao Siqi and Chen Zilin are blessed with high-value genes. Even if Xiao Yao is not the kind of handsome that looks amazing at first glance, he is also handsome. , A very attractive piece of fresh meat.

However, Li Xin also has some dissatisfaction, that is, Xiao Yao's eyes are too old and steady, and he seems to be more mature than children of the same age. He can play the role of a mentally insufficient child who is only a few years old. Is it? You know, children acting more often rely on their true colors.

  "Ling Yunzhi" is a big production. Even the small actors in the play do not find actors who have no performance experience at all. Xiao Yao's performance experience makes Li Xin frowned.

   Xiao Yao’s only acting experience is when he was eight years old, he acted in a play by Sun Zhihao.

  It is undeniable that the actors who can act in dramas are very powerful, but in terms of performance style, drama and film and television dramas are quite different. That kind of exaggerated performance style is not suitable for film and television performances. Can children of this age grasp the difference?

  Let people who can act in drama come to act in film and television dramas. The most reassuring thing is the lines. His skills in this regard should be very good, but "Cheng Ying" is the least line of all the main actors, and there is no long sentence at all, the requirements for the lines are the smallest, and his advantage seems to be completely unused. room.

  "Director, what do I need to do?" It was an interview, but the producer and the director in front of him did not speak for a long time. The producer didn't make a sound, but the director just frowned as he watched himself silently, Xiao Yao finally couldn't help but take the initiative to speak out.

   "Oh, then, try both literary and martial arts." Since it's here, I have to check it out. Li Xin finally said, "You don’t need a script in martial arts. I heard that you have practiced martial arts, so you can show us a hand and let us see your physical foundation. Wenxi, you should have read the script at least once yesterday, right? ? Pick the passage you remember and give us a live performance, let us see the effect."

   "Then come to Wu first." Xiao Yao looked at the interview room, it was big enough. He stopped performing Bajiquan or Changquan routines, and rushed directly against a wall.

   "What is this going to do?" The producer and director were taken aback.

  But before Xiao Yao rushed to the wall, he rose into the air, stepped on the wall with his left and right feet, and then exerted force on his right foot and waist and abdomen at the same time, and a backflip steadily landed on the ground. Then, Xiao Yao turned around and rushed towards the other side of the wall, but halfway through this time, he jumped up with his right foot and kicked out with his left and right feet in the air. There was a double kick in the air. The outstanding waist and abdomen strength formed the time in the air. After kicking, he didn't directly fall to the ground, but he still stood still.

   "Good!" The producer and director both shouted hello and applauded. Then the two looked at each other and understood each other's meaning. That's saying: "Except for the shots of flying over the wall, pure sparring scenes, this guy doesn't need to hang on Wia anymore."

  With plus, I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
