Entertaining Children

Chapter 107 Interview

During Xiao Yao's second year of junior high school, being the class monitor made most people very satisfied. After entering the third year of junior high school, everyone didn't plan to change people anymore. They decided to continue to nominate Xiao Yao as the class leader during the general election of class leaders after the third year of junior high school. There were even a few guys who planned to meet on the first day of the third year of junior high school and told Boss Xiao directly about everyone's plans to make him mentally prepared. As a result, after the start of the third year of junior high school, everyone found that their class monitor, Boss Xiao, hadn't come.

The school has started, but the leader of the first class is nowhere to be seen. Naturally, the class teacher has to explain to the students in the class. But the class teacher simply said: "Xiao Yao took a month off and will not come to school until after the National Day. During this month, the position of monitor will be temporarily replaced by the deputy monitor." No further information was revealed.

If the teacher doesn't say anything, the students don'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 leave? You must know, right?" Everyone around Chen Mingfei asked in a hurry.

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

"Even if there is no problem with your studies, you won't take such a long vacation for no reason. There must be a reason. You must know, right? Come on, don't fool your buddies." One of the people who has a better relationship with Chen Mingfei directly road.

"I know, I know, but Boss Xiao told me that I can't say anything. I don't want to be expelled from the school." Chen Mingfei said with a bitter face. Chen Mingfei really listened to Xiao Yao's words, and managed to lose weight with great perseverance, so Xiao Yao began to teach him Kung Fu with confidence. Without the consent of his master Liu Zhongwen, Xiao Yao would not have dared to teach Baji, a relatively lethal kung fu, so he taught Chen Mingfei Shaolin Changquan. This kung fu is also good for strengthening the body.

"Then tell me, is Xiao Yao sick? He asked for a long vacation for medical treatment?" Hu Chang asked.

"I'll answer this for you." Chen Mingfei shook his head, "Of course not. With Boss Xiao's body, what kind of illness will he suffer from? He asked for personal leave, not sick leave. As for the specifics, please don't ask me. I've said everything I can. Anyway, it's only been over a month, so when he comes back, can you ask him yourself?" Chen Mingfei bowed to beg for forgiveness.

Then why did Xiao Yao go there? The answer is: I went to acting.

One day after the end of the final exams in the second semester of junior high school and not long after the summer vacation, Ye Jiaying handed over a script to Xiao Yao and said, "Bayi, I recently accepted a great TV drama script. I think there is a character in it." It is very suitable for you, are you interested in taking a look?"

Ye Jiaying has already moved from the small screen of TV dramas to the big screen of movies a few years ago, and she has done very well in the movie industry, and has won the queen of the movie. The quality of the TV series that can make her come back and agree to appear in it must be very good, otherwise she would not let go of the status in the film industry that she has finally earned, and instead of continuing to work hard in the film industry, she would come back to act in TV series instead.

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

After reading it, Xiao Yao was in a mess. Because the script of the TV series called "Ling Yunzhi" in his hand tells a story similar to "Langya Bang" in his previous life.

If there is no mistake, Ye Jiaying will definitely play the female lead, the "Princess Caifeng" who is equivalent to "Princess Nihuang", and the one who wants him to play is the equivalent of "Fei Liu" "Chengying". However, unlike "Fei Liu", "Chengying" did not run through the whole play, but was plotted to death by an assassin in order to protect the male lead when about one-fifth of the play was left.

Sure enough, after seeing Xiao Yao flip through the script, Ye Jiaying began to introduce: "I picked up the female number one in the play,

"Caifeng Princess". I would like to recommend you to play the role of the male protagonist's personal bodyguard, which is equivalent to the "Chengying" of his younger brother. This "Chengying" is a character who is only in his teens, and you are just the right age. "Chengying" has a lot of fighting scenes, and you happen to be a martial arts student, so you are very suitable in terms of appearance.

In terms of personality, "Chengying" is a very simple 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 his heart was really tempted. Although he once decided not to act for a period of time after acting in a drama, but it has been almost six years after all, and he has already passed the boredom period in his heart.

Of course, the main reason why he was moved was because of this role.

The role of "Chengying" is mentally incomplete, doesn't speak much, and basically never speaks a complete sentence of more than five words, so in acting, it mainly depends on movements, expressions, and eyes, which test internal skills. This is indeed a challenge for him. And although this character is mentally incomplete and a little silly, he is also very cute and lovable. Thinking of the "Fei Liu" who was popular all over the country in "Langya Bang" in his previous life, Xiao Yao really wanted to challenge himself to see if he could also do that.

"Isn't it just playing a teenager whose psychological age is much younger than the actual one? To put it bluntly, it's just pretending to be stupid and cute? I have been acting since I was three and a half years old, so I can't act well?" Xiao Yao encouraged himself in his heart.

"When will the filming start? Do you need an interview? How long do you plan to film?" Xiao Yao asked several questions in succession, which meant that he clearly agreed.

"Are you agreeing?" Ye Jiaying said happily, seeing Xiao Yao nodding, she immediately continued: "There is still about a week before leaving the plane, and the preparations for the crew are almost done, but there are still a few actors left. Definitely. Among them, the most important role and the biggest headache for the producers and directors is the candidate for "Chengying". I haven't found a suitable candidate. That's why I thought of asking you to try it. An interview is definitely needed, but I don't think so. You are very confident.

As for the shooting period, it is planned to be about four months, but I will discuss with the director to try to shoot your part first without affecting the quality and progress of the whole filming, 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 able to finish filming, you probably still have to ask for a period of time off. But with your academic performance, it shouldn't be a problem, right? "

"Okay, then I'll give it a try. You can help me arrange an interview with the producer and director. Anyway, I don't have an agent now, so I will leave all my affairs to you." Xiao Yao said with a smile: "Who Let you be my mother and my recommender."

"No problem, you can rest assured that I will arrange it." Ye Jiaying said with a package.

"There is one more request," Xiao Yao continued: "If I really get this role, you have to treat me as a stranger after entering the crew, and don't give me any help, guidance and care. Let me see how far I can go.”

Li Xin is a cutting-edge TV drama director who has risen to fame in recent years. He was born as a cameraman for TV dramas. After several years of accumulation of many works, he changed his career to become a director. In the past two or three years, he has released several films with good reputation and ratings. 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 away from the original start date, but there are still actors No reason has been identified.

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

The first is height.

"Chengying" in the play is a teenage boy. With strong martial arts, he is the personal bodyguard of the male number one "Wen Jun" and is responsible for protecting his safety. However, the relationship between the two is like brothers. Psychologically, it is "Wen Jun" who is taking care of this mentally handicapped younger brother, so "Cheng Ying" cannot be too tall, at least not taller than the actors of "Wen Jun", otherwise there will be a sense of disobedience in the first impression. harmony.

At the same time, "Chengying" can't be too short. In the play, "Chengying" is a master of martial arts. There are many fight scenes, and the opponents are all adults. The fighting style in the play does not have the opportunistic and funny action style of children against adults. At least in appearance, it must be performed by two people who are evenly matched, so "Chengying" cannot be too short in height, at least he must have About the height of an adult.

Xiao Yao, who is one month away from turning fifteen, is about 1.7 meters tall, about 10 centimeters shorter than Chen Feng who plays "Wen Jun", and is already the height of an adult, which is just right for "Chengying".

Then there is the figure.

Since "Chengying" has a lot of fighting scenes, Li Xin tends to find a young man with martial arts background, at least he must have a very good physical fitness. He was afraid that the young actor's body would not be able to bear it. At the same time, since "Chengying" is good at lightness kung fu, and his kung fu is elegant and agile, so the actor's appearance has to match his kung fu style, and those teenagers who are very good at martial arts are not in his consideration at all.

Xiao Yao's figure is the type that "looks thin when dressed, and fleshy when undressed". Although he is strong, he looks thin when he wears ancient clothes without showing any muscles, and his elegant and agile feeling can be displayed immediately .

The last is looks.

Fourteen or fifteen-year-old children are rarely seen as particularly ugly. In addition, Xiao Siqi and Chen Zilin are blessed with good-looking genes. Even if Xiao Yao is not the kind of handsome who looks amazing at first glance, he is still handsome. , a very attractive little piece of fresh meat.

However, Li Xin is also dissatisfied, that is, Xiao Yao's eyes are too mature and stable, and he looks more mature than children of the same age. He can play the mentally retarded child "Chengying" who is only a few years old in mental age. what? You know, when children act, they still rely more on their true colors.

"Ling Yun Zhi" is a big production, even the small actors in the play are not likely to find actors who have no acting experience at all, and Xiao Yao's acting experience makes Li Xin frown even more.

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

It is undeniable that actors who can act in dramas are very good, but in terms of performance styles, there is still a big difference between dramas and film and television dramas. That kind of exaggerated acting style is not suitable for acting on film and television. Can children of this age grasp the difference?

Let people who can act in dramas act in film and television dramas, the most reassuring thing is the lines. His skill in this aspect should be very good, but "Chengying" has the fewest lines among all the main actors, and there are no long sentences at all, and the requirements for lines are the smallest. His advantage seems to be completely unused room.

"Director, what do I need to do?" He said it was an interview, but the producer and director in front of him remained silent for a long time. It's fine if the producer doesn't make a sound, but the director just frowned and watched him not speak, Xiao Yao finally couldn't help but speak out on his own initiative.

"Oh, so, let's try both literary and martial arts." Now that you're here, you have to check it out. Li Xin finally said: "There is no need for scripts in martial arts. I heard that you have practiced martial arts. Just show us your skills and let us see your physical foundation. For literary operas, you should have read the script at least once yesterday." ? Pick a passage you remember and play it live for us, let us see the effect."

"Then let's come to Wu first." Xiao Yao looked at the room where the interview was held, it was quite big enough. He didn't do any Bajiquan or Changquan routines anymore, and rushed directly against a wall.

"What is this for?" Both the producer and the director were taken aback.

However, Xiao Yao rushed to the wall, soared into the air, stepped on the wall with his left and right feet, and then exerted force with his right foot and waist and abdomen at the same time, and landed firmly on the ground with a backflip. Then, Xiao Yao turned around and rushed towards the wall on the other side, but this time he jumped up with his right foot in the middle of the rush, and kicked his left and right feet in the air one after another. The stagnation time formed by the excellent waist and abdomen strength, did not fall directly to the ground after kicking, and even stood still.

"Okay!" The producer and director both shouted "Hello" and applauded. Then the two looked at each other and understood each other's meaning. That is to say: "Except for the scenes of flying over the eaves and walls, and the pure fighting scenes, this guy doesn't need to hang on to Wia."
