Chapter 17 Audition
Director Wang understood that since it was just a game partner, it had nothing to do with auditions and he still had to follow the rules.
He waved his hand, and Su Qing began to draw performance clips.
The original work of this IP is about the martial arts world in the early stage and palace fighting in the later stage.
The segment she drew belonged to the late stage, when the heroine married the hero and suppressed her pride to become the queen.
Unexpectedly, the enemy country invades, and the protagonist, as the emperor, needs to lead the army in person.
The heroine was reluctant, but for the sake of the common people, she let the hero go.
Right now, what Su Qing needs to perform is the separation scene between the two of them.
Su Qing took a few steps slowly, closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her eyes were full of pain: "Do you have to go?"
The other person seemed to say something, Su Qing laughed bitterly and took a few steps: "Yes, I admit that I am selfish. The common people cannot be ignored, but is there no general in the court?
Why do you need to lead the troops? You know, things change rapidly on the battlefield, and you could lose your life if you are not careful."
After a few seconds, the light in her eyes dimmed in vain, she turned around and lowered her head and roared: "Get out, get out of here."
After a few seconds, she turned around suddenly, as if she saw the man leave without hesitation. She bit her lips tightly, and soon blood flowed from the corners of her mouth.
She stretched out her hand and seemed to grab a long sword, and started dancing on the field.
The moves are fast and fierce, yet confined to a small space.
Just like her, she clearly belongs to the world of martial arts, but is trapped in the palace.
After the sword dance ended, Su Qing restrained her expression, lowered her head and stood in the middle: "Dear teachers, my performance ends here. Please give me some advice."
After hearing her words, everyone reacted and sparse applause broke out, which grew louder and louder.
"Okay, okay." Director Wang said three "OK"s in a row. "Su Qing, right? I want to ask, what was your thought on the last part, um, performance? I remember that part was not in the script, right?"
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Su Qing's face. This paragraph was indeed not in the script. She decided to add it on the spur of the moment.
In fact, when Su Qing saw Zheng Shuya, she began to wonder what advantages she had.
After thinking about it, I found that I can only work on the character setting.
Su Qing considered her words carefully and said slowly: “Well, yes, there is no such part in the script.
I've read the original novel these days, and I think that since the heroine is a man of the world, when she expresses pain and helplessness, can we add a little more chivalrous spirit?
Well, after all, the heroine is different from the women in traditional palace fights. She just restrains herself for love, which does not mean that she will be completely assimilated into the concubines in the palace. "
Director Wang's eyes flashed with a trace of thought, and he changed the subject and asked, "The sword dance you just performed was very good. Did you practice it before?"
Su Qing didn't expect him to ask this question, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "It's not a special practice, it's just improvisation."
Director Wang nodded and said in a very official manner: "Okay, thank you for your performance. I look forward to working with you in the future."
Su Qing sighed. It seemed that her performance was not good enough for Director Wang to decide on her role.
However, she did not get discouraged. She cheered herself up, bowed to everyone, and left.
As soon as she got home, Sister Yu called her and Su Qing briefly told her about the situation.
Sister Yu felt a little sorry when she heard this, but she still comforted him, "It's okay, we just did our best, don't feel any psychological burden."
Su Qing said that she actually didn't have any psychological burden. Since the audition failed, she could just lie down and continue playing games.
After knowing that she didn't get the audition, Su Qing simply stayed up all night and immersed herself in the world of games.
She didn't know that after she left, Director Wang and others had a fierce argument.
"I think although Su Qing's interpretation is clever, overall, Best Actress is more suitable for her." This is the assistant director's opinion.
The producer sighed, "I understand the logic, but the investor specifically asked He Lingling to play the female lead, so we should also consider it."
"Don't consider it. He Lingling's acting skills are not good enough. Wouldn't it damage my reputation if she released it?" Director Wang refused directly.
The producer didn't expect him to be so straightforward. He was silent for a while, then said with a breath held in his throat, "Then let's choose Zheng as the actress?"
Director Wang thought about it, and finally shook his head: "To be honest, the image and performance style of Zheng Yinghou do not match the heroine, but Su Qing's performance feels a bit interesting."
The assistant director's eyes flickered, and he said, "Acting skills are secondary. The hype of the actress making her first TV appearance is more important than anything else.
You have to know that traffic is the key now, and effective promotion is more important than acting skills.
Besides, what do a bunch of rabble know about acting? The title of the three best actresses is enough to shut up those who find fault with her. "
The director looked at him and fell into deep thought.
The assistant director continued to persuade, “Besides, although Su Qing’s acting skills are good, she is used to taking shortcuts.
I heard that her reputation is average, if we really use her, I'm afraid it will have a bad impact on the crew."
Director Wang frowned and asked, "What impact?"
"There are just a lot of haters." The assistant director choked and explained vaguely, "Anyway, Director Wang, you can find out if you search on Weibo."
Director Wang nodded, but did not really search. He hesitated for a long time, and when he saw Feng Zhaohua standing there in a daze, his eyes lit up.
"Teacher Feng, what do you think about this matter?"
Feng Zhaohua held the phone in his hand and looked over blankly, as if asking how to see it.
"Welcome to King of Glory. The enemy has five seconds to arrive at the battlefield. All forces, attack..."
Director Wang: "..."
Director Wang wiped his face and briefly described the discussion among the three people.
The confusion in Feng Zhaohua's eyes became even more serious: "Isn't there someone more suitable for the role?"
"Yes, it depends on who is more suitable." The producer said quickly.
"As far as the market is concerned, it is obvious that actress Zheng is more suitable. With her joining, at least we don't have to worry about the popularity.
It’s just that Director Wang is more inclined towards Su Qing, so I wanted to ask your opinion.”
Feng Zhaohua looked at Director Wang, his eyes full of confusion: "Director Wang, what's your reason?"
Director Wang said: "Su Qing's image and acting skills are more suitable."
In fact, there is one thing he didn't say. He couldn't see Zheng Shuya's dedication to the drama in her performance.
If there is no better candidate, Zheng Shuya is of course the best solution, but now Su Qing has emerged.
Hearing this, Feng Zhaohua said without hesitation: "Aren't actors supposed to serve the work? Why should we give up a more suitable candidate because of external factors?"
Because we need to make money. This sentence flashed through everyone's mind at the same time.
However, Feng Zhaohua has already achieved financial freedom, so there is no point in telling him this.
"Forget it, let's stop here for now. We've worked hard all day, so let's all go home and think carefully about who is the most suitable person." Director Wang thought about it and made the final decision.
