Chapter 63 Audition (2)
As the saying goes: The eyes are the windows of the soul.
Mu Zijin's almond eyes bent slightly, charming and colorful, with black eyeliners coming out of the corners of his eyes, like a sharp knife, dispersing the charming appearance and adding a little bit of sharpness. Willow eyebrows flew into his temples, and a sense of hostility came to his face.
She looked at herself in the mirror with all eyes, glanced at the dazed makeup artist, and laughed sweetly, "What? Can't recognize me?"
"...Is there a ruthlessness, but is Li Mochou so young?" The makeup artist found that Mu Zijin was really suitable for makeup. Her makeup looked like a mask, and she easily brought her into the role. Now her eyes are tender and sharp, as if she was covered with a layer of murderous aura. With every frown and smile, people dare not look directly at her. She is completely different from the sunshine and Xi just now.
Mu Zijin did not answer her question directly, but only murmured softly in her mouth: "The words were gentle and gentle, with charming expressions. Jun Zhi's bright eyes and white teeth, and his skin was white. This is Li Mochou. Otherwise, what do you think I should be?"
Now Mu Zijin has transformed into Li Mochou. Although what he said was a question, his tone was indeed unquestionable, which made the makeup artist unable to answer for a while.
This is Li Mochou, written by Mr. Jin. The makeup artist looked at the original work posted by Director Zhang for the first time. This book has been available for a long time, but she has never read it. As long as someone is older, no one has read the version of Gu Tianle. The characters in it gave her the first and most profound impression.
Xiaolongnu is dressed in white, and Yang Guo should be tyrannical, while Li Mochou is like a resentful woman, over thirty years old and is ruthless again.
After hearing Mu Zijin's words today, I realized that what I understood seemed to be too sketchy. Everyone has their own story. Because Xiaolongnu and Yang Guo are the protagonists, their stories are familiar to everyone. Li Mochou is a supporting role, so she doesn't appear much. Her stories are more conveyed through oral memories of other characters, so naturally she has to spend more time understanding them.
A good makeup artist should study his role thoroughly before he can set makeup for others. How can he make such a low-level mistake?
That's why the teacher always feels that he can't stand alone?
She didn't understand before that the teacher kept saying that she was wrong, but she was wrong in her na, and she seemed to understand something today.
Another person who auditioned Guo Fu was sent away. Zhang Jizhong threw the information aside without thinking. The other three people who were in charge of the audition looked at each other, for some reason why Director Zhang's mood suddenly became worse.
"How do you think she acted like?" Zhang Jizhong asked suddenly.
Xi Wan is the person in charge of the investor of the crew and has some decision-making power over the role. To be honest, according to her understanding, it would be better to just find a group of well-known artists. Why did she sit here and interview one after another with thankless effort? She is a businessman and only cares whether this TV series can bring benefits to herself. According to her, it is best to start the filming and release it in the shortest time, rather than wasting time sitting here and waiting.
When asked her if that person was good at acting, she just looked at her and didn't understand anything. It was useless to say that. She was a businessman and a smart person, so she shut up and didn't speak.
Wang Xuejing is one of the screenwriters and has a deep understanding of the role. In fact, interviews are boring, and it is difficult to choose an actor who makes her look bright among ten thousand people. Therefore, her patience with casting is better than Zhang Jizhong. She also has a mild evaluation: "I look pretty good, but the performance is too superficial and not infectious enough."
"You speak too gently. According to me, except for Yang Mi just now, I'm still fine. Today's day is wasted." Director Yu Min's face was obviously impatient, "Or contact Chen Zihan's agent, these newcomers are obviously not good."
Wang Xuejing smiled helplessly and shook her head, "No one of you directors has a good temper."
"Actually, I had a good temper before I became a director." Yu Min defended himself.
It caused laughter from the other three.
"Xiao Qiu, is that Mu Zijin here?" Zhang Jizhong asked Ye Qiu beside him after laughing.
"He arrived an hour ago and was trying on makeup in the dressing room."
Zhang Jizhong frowned when he heard this, "This is not a formal filming, why haven't it been melted in an hour?"
Ye Qiu coughed twice and said softly: "It's Pu'er who is responsible for the makeup."
When everyone heard the name, they suddenly realized it.
"Hurry up and tell that girl not to talk nonsense. You go and ask her to let me release the person. If you waste time like this, I will ask her teacher to take her back when she turns around." Zhang Jizhong intimidated.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Ye Qiu led the way and left the room.
Yu Min asked curiously: "Who is Mu Zijin?"
Wang Xuejing is a screenwriter. She watches various movies and TV series to draw inspiration on weekdays and pays special attention to the actors in it. She is used to substituting various characters in the scripts, so she remembers the names of most actors.
She said without hesitation: "The heroine who won more than 300 million yuan in the box office some time ago."
Yu Min also saw it. He thought about it with a side face, but he didn't remember Mu Zijin's appearance. "I can't remember it. There should be nothing outstanding in acting. Why is Director Zhang so concerned about it?"
When Yu Min asked, Zhang Jizhong remembered what Mu Zijin said in the restaurant again, and became interested, "This is one of the few actors who have studied roles in recent years and have a good understanding. Yu Min, tell me, is Meng Guangmei suitable for playing the role of Li Mochou?"
"The appearance is suitable, but the acting is really not very good. I am considering whether to delete Li Mochou's role."
Zhang Jizhong nodded after hearing Yu Min's words, turned around and asked Wang Xuejing again: "Do you think Meng Guangmei's appearance fits?"
"The age is quite suitable." The implication is that she is actually not satisfied with Yi.
"Oh? Then what do you think Li Mochou should look like?" Yu Min asked.
"Actually, there was a passage in the original work. I don't know if you remember it. Wu Santong jumped out of the cave quickly, but when he saw Li Mochou standing there pretty, he couldn't help but feel surprised: 'Why haven't seen her for ten years, she is still so young and beautiful?' He met at Lu Zhanyuan's wedding banquet. Li Mochou was about twenty years old and was already thirty years old at this time. But in addition to changing clothes, the person in front of him still had delicate skin, just like a good girl in the past. From here, it can be seen that time has not brought any changes to Li Mochou." Wang Xuejing remembered the original work well and did not have to take out any information to read it, and she came.
"Mu Zijin's opinion is the same as you. It seems that you should have a common language." Zhang Jizhong said.
"If you really shoot as written in the original work, you might be a bit overwhelming, right?" Yu Min was considering the overall situation. If a beautiful Li Mochou appears, let alone the audience who was brainwashed by previous versions, it will definitely not be able to steal the limelight of the heroine Xiaolongnu.
"I have the same idea as you, so I want to see how she can act." Zhang Jizhong finally expressed his true thoughts at this time.
Yu Min touched her chin, "I started to look forward to it when you said this."
When Cao Cao came, he could only hear a soft singing of a woman outside the door, but the sound was not loud but extremely clear. She sang the lyrics that Li Mochou would chant every time he appeared: "Ask the world, what is love, it is to teach life and death to agree with each other."
After singing a sentence, the sound was closer. When the word "Xu" exited, the door of the room also blew "bang". It was kicked open by external forces, which made everyone's heart shrank suddenly. Xi Wan almost jumped up and called out.
But she saw a beautiful Taoist nun at the door, holding a whisk. The apricot yellow Taoist robe she wore made her skin look more delicate, as pleasing to the eye like a porcelain sculpture.
I saw her smiling slowly at the door of the room, which was open with a arrogant look. She looked like a flower, but Zhang Jizhong and others were a little scared when they saw it.
As his eyes circulated, aura faintly flashed, and his red red lips were still singing: "The two flying guests from all over the world, the old wings have been in the cold and heat, the joy and the pain of parting, and there are even more foolish children. You should have words, the clouds are vast and the snow in the mountains, and the shadows are only to go to?"
The lotus steps under his feet moved gently, and he walked in singing. Every time he sang a sentence, he walked closer. The singing was so sad and gentle, and his eyes were both quiet and resentful. After singing a song, he gently opened his lips and said, "Where are those two girls?"
Girl? What kind of girl? The few people who were so fascinated by the hearing were stunned. Only Wang Xuejing reacted the fastest, "Li Mochou, if you want to kill, you can kill me, don't think I will tell you whereabouts of Wushuang and the others!"
Hearing Wang Xuejing's words, the other three people realized that Xi Wan patted her chest with fear. It turned out to be an audition, which made her think that it was really the ancients who suddenly came here to seek revenge.
Yu Min and Zhang Jizhong's eyes lit up. Mu Zijin's appearance made them feel immersive. The way of making a prestigious sound was greatly stimulated by the heart, and they also saw Mu Zijin's acting skills. It seemed to be much better than they thought. They began to look forward to her performance.
Originally, the audition should have ended here in Mu Zijin's budget, but seeing that Zhang Jizhong and others did not stop, she had to continue acting according to her memory. Fortunately, there were still people who cooperated with her, otherwise it would not be too embarrassing to act in a one-man show.
Mu Zijin waved the whisk in his hand, and squirted Wang Xuejing's face with his left hand, and smiled coquettishly: "Brother Lu, if your brother is still there, as long as he begs me, I will give up the little bitch He Yuanjun, and I will never forgive your family for being a good person. Now, alas, you are not lucky, you only blame your brother for being too short-lived, but I can't blame me."
As he said that, murderous aura flashed in his eyes, and he slowly raised the whisk in his hand.
Maybe it wasn't visible in the other people's position, but Wang Xuejing, who became Mu Zijin's target, stared at Wuchen nervously. She knew that everything was fake, but she was afraid that Mu Zijin would really start to attack. She felt like she was unable to sit still.
Call stop quickly! Call stop quickly! Mu Zijin begged in her heart, and if she continues to act, she will be a martial arts scene. She is not good at this!
"Stop!" Heaven seemed to hear Mu Zijin's heart, and Zhang Jizhong finally shouted to stop.
Mu Zijin felt relieved, quickly put down his hand, restrained his fierce attitude, bent down to everyone and said, "Hello everyone, my name is Mu Zijin, the character audition is Li Mochou."
"Oh, what a pity. If I don't shout to stop, I can watch it for a while." Yu Min said with unfulfilled intentions.
Wang Xuejing caressed her frightened heart, "You are so happy to see it. My heart is almost jumping out."
"You are just timid." Yu Min teased.
"This is her good acting skills." How could Wang Xuejing admit that she is timid? So all the credit was pushed to Mu Zijin.
Yu Min looked at Mu Zijin with a smile and said, "Your performance this time is much better than Li. At least I can't remember you there, but now I remember it completely."
"Thank you for your praise. In fact, this is also thanks to Director Duan's trust. I gave me the newbie's opportunity to perform and hone my acting skills. Otherwise, I wouldn't have performed so well today." When filming, Mu Zijin's acting skills were only D-level, and she was able to act based on her own insights and experience. After the filming, Mu Zijin's acting skills had reached C, which was already the level of a first-class domestic actor. Although she was not as good as the best actor and actress, she could also perform freely in ordinary roles.
Mu Zijin's humble attitude made several people feel better about her. It is not impossible to mention the goodness of other directors in front of a director, but it mainly depends on how you speak. A person who knows how to be grateful can gain the favor of others at any time.
After watching the performance just now, coupled with the words in the restaurant, Zhang Jizhong's heart had already leaned towards Mu Zijin. He asked Xi Wan sideways: "Miss Xi, can you see Mu Zijin play Li Mochou?"
In fact, even if Xi Wan disagreed, Zhang Jizhong would still use Mu Zijin as he did. However, doing so would inevitably cause a rift between the two, and it would be better to be able to get the other party's approval.
"Okay, let's just let her." Xi Wan agreed unexpectedly.
Between an outdated actor who is about to dim down and a rising star, she will of course choose the latter that brings herself greater benefits. What's more, Mu Zijin's 300 million box office title is still there. Recently, rumors about her and the new director have been circulating, and the ratings will definitely be helpful in the future. Moreover, she always felt that although Liu Yifei can attract some male audiences, her style is too single. Now, a character like Li Mochou, who is both good and evil, and is young and beautiful, will definitely attract more widespread attention.
In this way, in their own small calculations, Mu Zijin defeated Meng Guangmei with an absolute advantage and won the role of Li Mochou.
The smooth process also proved that the colleague who surprised Mu Zijin also had one thing, that opportunities were always left to those who were prepared.
