Superstars In Parallel Time and Space

"Okay, you have also heard the request for casting, everyone relax, just show your usual training state, don't show flaws because you are too nervous."

The teacher in charge of acting training is also comforting the trainees.

After all, she has been teaching the trainees for so long, and she personally looks forward to the performance of the trainees. She doesn't want them to make too many mistakes. If they all perform poorly, it also shows her lack of personal ability. She naturally hopes that everyone will perform well. Well done, it can leave a deep impression in Chen Mubai's heart.

"This time, I will give you a segment. You can act it yourself. You have half an hour to prepare. I will send the script to you now, so please do your best!" Chen Mubai gave the selection rules.

It's a bit like the audition standard, where they are given the roles they need in the play, and let them choose by themselves, and then act.

The hero and heroine have already been decided, and the rest of the key roles are all vacant, such as Sun Xiaoxiao, a rich second-generation female colleague who is related to Liu Yiyang, his good buddy Donggua, and Tong Jiaqian's cousin.

The candidate for the original play of Winter Melon is a somewhat fat character, and there are also some characteristics in terms of personality. He is a funny person, and he is a more assertive person. He is very shrewd. He is a buddy with Liu Yiyang and will give him advice to solve problems, but There will be my own little Jiujiu in my heart.

He is a reliable person, but he doesn't trust Liu Yiyang ignorantly. To sum up, he is a very self-aware and well-known person who is willing to work hard.

Chen Mubai decided not to give Qian Duoduo to play this role, because this role is quite similar to Xiang Nan, and he wanted Qian Duoduo to play a different role, so as to have a breakthrough for himself.

So he gave Qian Duoduo another role, Du Yi.

This character who is a classmate with Tong Jiaqian is also the one who will rob Tong Jiaqian with Liu Yiyang in the play.

This person is almost a perfect man template, with a good family, a car and a house.

She is good-looking, has a career and money, and is dedicated to her feelings. She has always liked Tong Jiaqian and watched her silently for eight years.

It wasn't until later that she knew that she was having a bad life, and she was willing to accept a single mother with a child, and was able to convince her own mother, which is something that many successful people cannot do.

Compared with Liu Yiyang, Du Yi's role is more like a template for the protagonist, and he is more likable than Liu Yiyang, who has a cowardly personality and has a good personality. It is also difficult to play this kind of role.

First of all, in terms of temperament, Qian Duoduo is quite suitable for this point. After all, his own identity is the rich second generation, and he seems to be acting in his true colors.

Another one, this kind of man has a higher desire for love, but he will not express it obviously. The gaze he looks at his beloved has depth, and he needs to express it more from the eyes. Actions and eyes are two different things. aspect.

A role that cannot be supported entirely by lines and actions needs to use eyes to perform depth.

This is the reason why Chen Mubai gave Qian Duoduo to perform this role. Although there are not as many roles as Donggua, the performance of the role is more in-depth, so Qian Duoduo can try a deeper interpretation.

For Lin Xue, Chen Mubai wanted to give her the role of Sun Xiaoxiao, a eccentric rich second generation who had conflicts with Liu Yiyang in the early stage, but later fell in love with Liu Yiyang, and ended up with Donggua.

The difficulty of performing this role is not particularly high, mainly due to several changes in mood, Chen Mubai believes that Lin Xue can play well.

This role is still different from Yang Xiaoyun, who she played last time, in terms of character background, demeanor, and behavior.

As the role of winter melon, which has a lot of roles, Chen Mubai decided to choose one publicly, which can be regarded as cultivating newcomers.

The rest, such as Tong Jiaqian's cousin Chen Jiaojiao, will be played by Shang Ran, and Chen Jiaojiao's lover Huang Youwei and husband Cui Bin will choose roles from here.

Except for the roles of parents, grandparents and grandparents, middle-aged and elderly people will be cast, and the rest of the young people will be selected from the trainees.

"There are several scripts,

The corresponding characters have different personalities. You can choose the role you think you can do. You only have one chance. If you can't play it, you can wait for the next chance. " said the acting teacher.

This is what Chen Mubai communicated with her in advance, otherwise, if everyone plays every role, there will be not enough time.

Choosing a role is not only a test for Chen Mubai and others, but also a test for the trainees themselves.

After a year of practice, everyone knows their own strengths and weaknesses, so they will roughly know what kind of role they are suitable for. If you can't grasp this point, then you can only practice more.

If you insist on rushing to perform in a role that is not suitable for you, if the result is not good, you will have to pay for your behavior.

"You guys start with these scripts first, and introduce the characters' backgrounds."

"After choosing the one that suits you, just go figure it out, and then act one by one."

Generally speaking, the background introduction of the characters is a basic introduction, and the deeper things, such as the habits of the characters, the inner emotions of the characters, etc., need to be deeply understood and figured out by the actors themselves.

Different actors may have different performance methods in different aspects of the character of the same character, and everyone will perform according to their own perceptions.

But the time is tight, there must not be so much time for these trainees to figure it out, Chen Mubai can only give a standard answer, let everyone perform it, it can be regarded as the same starting point.

The trainees who get the role can figure out the role according to the script and add some of their own in subsequent roles. Chen Mubai will not object to these, as long as it does not violate the behavior of the character itself.

A group of trainees came forward to check the scripts one after another. After reading all the scripts, they chose the one that suits them.

It is said to be a script, but it is actually a performance of a play, and it will be finished soon.

When the time comes, the trainees will perform the roles, and Chen Mubai and the acting teacher will be responsible for accompanying him in the play, just like the crew is openly casting roles.

Chen Mubai and the acting teacher went out to give the trainees a space to immerse themselves, so that they can figure out the roles more comfortably.

The two of them, as the chief examiner, will definitely affect the state of the trainees in the room and will put pressure on them.

The trainees each lived in a corner, looking at the script, reciting a few lines, and then rehearsing the performance in their minds, thinking about what kind of method is more appropriate to perform.

"Is there anyone you are optimistic about?" After going out, the teacher asked Chen Mubai.

The script was also written by Chen Mubai, so each character should have a general impression in his mind, that is, the basic actors and roles are more consistent.

Appearance, demeanor, figure, etc. can all be things that fit characters and actors, not from acting skills.

If an actor is very suitable for the various settings of the role, then there is a high probability that this person will be chosen to play the role.

It’s like choosing three actors, one with excellent acting skills but completely opposite to the role that needs to be played, one with mediocre acting skills that partially overlap with the role, and the other with no acting skills but highly suitable for the role. .

Some people will choose one, great directors will choose three, and the second is basically no one chooses, it is too middle-of-the-road.

Because the image is more in line with his setting, he is also confident that he can train the actor so that he is more in line with the role in his heart.

Therefore, the teacher will ask such a question.

"Yes." Chen Mubai nodded decisively.

After listening to the teacher, he nodded, not knowing what he was thinking.

Chen Mubai smiled and said: "But I value acting skills more, and the person I'm optimistic about also chose the role I imagined in my heart, so it doesn't seem to disappoint me."

The teacher was surprised, and he said, "Could it be Xia Fan?"

"Yes." Chen Mubai admitted decisively.

This makes sense, Xia Fan played the role of Gao Qiang in "Struggle", and Chen Mubai later asked him to come back to learn acting skills, mainly in literary and opera.

As a martial arts actor, Xia Fan is relatively weak in literature and drama, and his acting skills are all on the surface. He cries when he should cry, and laughs when he should laugh. He has not yet reached the point of being outstanding.

Martial arts actors with good acting skills have already been signed away by others, so it's Mubai's turn to entertain them.

Generally speaking, the requirements for acting skills will be appropriately lowered for martial arts actors. After all, their roles are mainly fighting, and the audience tends to ignore the aspect of acting skills, as long as they are good at it.

Martial arts actors have excellent acting skills, and they are all top stars in the circle. This is a favorite.

Most of those with poor acting skills can only be regarded as special actors, or martial arts instructors.

As for Xia Fan was discovered, it was because Chen Mubai felt that he had the potential to be molded. When he inspected the shooting location before filming "Struggle", he happened to see a crew filming a film. Xia Fan was one of the special actors, and he was a part of the world. A middle-aged man with martial arts.

Chen Mubai watched one of his scenes and felt that he had potential, so he asked him if he signed a company, and then signed him back.

"Xia Fan chose the role of winter melon." The teacher frowned and recalled.

"Ok."

The appearance of the character of Winter Melon is a little fat, a little dark, and not very tall.

Because of his martial arts practice, Xia Fan's height is not very high, coupled with his years of filming, his skin is also dark and has a bronze tinge.

Although he is not fat, he has muscles, which makes him seem stronger, which fits the appearance of winter melon.

Chen Mubai just wanted to hone Xia Fan's acting skills and train him so that he could play roles in scripts with martial arts scenes in the future to improve his acting skills.

Things like martial arts require long hours of practice, and it is difficult for laymen to shoot.

Either it's a stand-in, or if the actor comes by himself, it needs to be shot many times, and it needs to be shot slowly one by one.

But martial arts actors are different. It is very convenient to shoot in many cases. This is an advantage that other actors do not have. That's why Chen Mubai chose Xia Fan and took the time to improve his literary and opera skills.

The time to improve literary opera is much faster than that of martial arts, and Xia Fan does not need to reach a high standard, at least it must exceed the basic acting skills.

It takes much less time to train Xia Fan than to train an actor who is good in literary and opera, and then to practice martial arts. It is still quite difficult to learn martial arts.

"Xia Fan was very serious when he was studying, and he improved a lot faster, and he has more acting experience than those students, so he is a good seed." The teacher agreed.

Xia Fan is the one who stands out among the trainees. He is older than them all, in his 30s, with dark skin and a bit fierce appearance. No matter how he looks at it, he doesn't look like a trainee.
