Chapter 401 Blue Star’s Star Master
Yunhai Media.
New Ministry.
Several artists in their early twenties were sitting in the living room, and everyone's face showed nervousness.
These people are the artists that Chai Qing spent a lot of energy to audition for the starring role in "Kung Fu".
Some of them are A-list stars, while others are unknown actors.
But no matter who it was, their palms were sweating nervously.
After all, the person they were going to meet later was Wang Mo, the legendary silent boss!
Of course, despite being nervous, several people secretly made up their minds: they must show their best side later and let Teacher Wang Mo choose them!
Not to mention Wang Mo's current popularity, his last movie "Fist of Heroes" has a box office of nearly 3 billion, which can make everyone sit up and take notice.
So everyone knows that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
If Wang Mo can select them, they will most likely soar into the sky!
"coming."
"Teacher Wang Mo is here."
"..."
Hearing the footsteps outside, several people stood up immediately, each having different thoughts.
The door was pushed open gently.
Wang Mo walked in.
"Hello, Mr. Wang."
"Hello, Teacher Wuyan."
"Hello Brother Mo."
"..."
Several artists screamed in confusion.
There is no way, Wang Mo doesn't have anything else but calls him too many.
Wang Mo nodded, sat on the chair, and looked at the artists brought by Chai Qing.
Actors also pay attention to one thing.
At just the first glance, Wang Mo excluded one person in his mind, because he knew this person. He was the only first-line star among the five. The other person was a Chinese comedian who had starred in several comedy movies with good box office.
However, Wang Mo has watched the other party's movies, and the other party's funny style simply cannot match "Kung Fu".
Of course, Wang Mo has already become calm and restrained. He did not let the other party leave directly, but said calmly: "Let's start the audition. Let's start in this order."
He pointed at each person casually.
A few people nodded and all went to the lounge next to them to wait.
The first person to audition was the A-list star named Jiang Lei.
After entering, Jiang Lei looked confident and felt that he was sure to win. Although he was nervous when facing Wang Mo, he knew that his opponent was weak.
Yes!
Very weak, simply too weak!
Jiang Lei originally thought that the people competing with him for the leading role today were all movie star-level celebrities, but he did not expect that he himself was the biggest celebrity, and as for the other four, they were almost all unknowns.
In such a scene, if he can't win the leading role, it would be too bad.
In fact, apart from Jiang Lei himself, Chai Qing and Chen Jia, who were sitting in the room, were also the most optimistic about him.
Especially Chai Qing had some small thoughts in mind: he found the other four people to serve as foils for Jiang Lei, so that Jiang Lei's comedy talent and experience could be brought out.
"let's start."
Seeing that Jiang Lei was ready, Wang Mo said calmly.
The script for the audition was given to everyone half an hour before, so there was no need to read the script, just perform.
Jiang Lei took a few deep breaths, and the tension on his face suddenly disappeared, and he seemed to be a different person in just a few seconds.
The scene from the audition was when the protagonist took Fatty to the Pig Cage Walled City for a haircut. Jiang Bao felt threatened and called the people inside the Walled City.
The protagonist, at this moment, has to face the oppression of the entire city to show off his acting skills.
"Brother of the Ax Gang is taking a nap inside. Whoever is not afraid of death should take a step forward... Okay, it's a one-on-one duel according to the rules of the world."
Jiang Lei faced the air and started performing.
It must be said that as a well-known comedian in China, his performance is very decent.
Express emotions well.
He also has a lot of skills in language and movement.
Even Chai Qing showed a satisfied expression.
Wang Mo sighed secretly in his heart: Sure enough, it's not Taixing.
He didn't mean that Jiang Lei's acting skills were not good, but that Jiang Lei couldn't express Master Xing's unique sense of humor, and there was only a sense of forced comedy in it.
Soon, Jiang Lei's audition ended.
Wang Mo's expression was calm and he didn't comment: "You go out first, please invite the next person."
"OK."
Jiang Lei originally felt that he was fine, but when he saw Wang Mo's calm expression, his heart suddenly jumped again.
soon.
A second artist came in and auditioned the same thing.
It's just that this artist's acting skills are obviously much worse than Jiang Lei's, and his performance is visibly stiff.
Wang Mo still couldn't deny it.
then.
the third.
fourth place.
After the fourth artist auditioned, Wang Mo frowned slightly because none of the previous four people met his requirements for the protagonist.
This made him a little frustrated. Could it be that he couldn't even find a slightly qualified candidate?
It would be depressing if the filming ends up being shelved because there is no suitable candidate for the leading role.
But if he can't find a suitable starring role, Wang Mon would rather let "Kung Fu" be shelved.
He can't ruin this classic.
Even in a parallel world.
When I was sighing in my heart, the last audition artist had already knocked on the door.
This man is a little thin, and his appearance is quite interesting. He is not mediocre, but he is not handsome either.
The other party was obviously very nervous, and his legs were shaking after entering the door.
Chen Jia has frowned. His basic psychological quality is not up to par. How can he act?
But Wang Mo smiled slightly: "Don't be nervous, relax, you see, I'm younger than you."
He held this person's information in his hand.
The information shows that the other party is 25 years old, named Zhong An, and is not well-known. Although his information shows that the other party has eight years of working experience, he has never played any serious role. Each time he played a small supporting role with only a few appearances.
Chai Qing also smiled and said, "Zhong An, don't be nervous."
Then Chai Qing looked at Wang Mo: "Mr. Wang, I discovered Zhong An by chance. I was looking for suitable actors in Hengdian. That day I happened to see Zhong An acting in a crew. His acting skills ...Well, how should I put it? It just had an indescribable smell, a bit like the nonsense you described to me, but I wasn’t sure if it was the case, so I called him over.”
"oh?"
When Wang Mo heard this, he became interested: "Then I'd like to take a look."
After saying that, his eyes became serious, indicating that the other party could start.
Zhong An, God knows how nervous this young man is at this moment.
His mind was almost blank, and he was in a state of confusion.
In fact, ever since that day when Chai Qing spotted him and asked him to audition for a role in a movie, he had an unrealistic illusion.
When did you become so lucky?
He has been struggling at the bottom of Hengdian for eight years and has seen too much of the ups and downs of the world, so he knows that if a useless little actor like him wants to get ahead, it will be harder than reaching the sky.
Therefore, he made complete preparations for this audition opportunity, and even spent all his money to buy this cheap suit.
but!
He didn't know until half an hour ago that he was not a small role in an audition, or even an important supporting role, but the protagonist of a big movie!
What especially scared him to death was that this movie was produced by Wang Mo.
The person who will audition him later is Wang Mo, the legendary Wu Yan!
That's why Zhong An was so nervous that his whole body was shaking. Although he hated himself for being so spineless, he just couldn't control his strong physiological reaction.
At this moment, Zhong An was almost desperate.
His eyes showed deep sadness and regret for himself. He regretted that he had failed to live up to expectations.
Bah!
Just like that, a tear slipped from the corner of his eye.
His body trembled, he bowed deeply to Wang Mo and the others, and said three words with his only strength: "I'm sorry."
Then he was devastated and ready to leave.
Zhong An knew that his opportunity had been lost. His nervousness and lack of expectations caused him to lose this opportunity.
However.
Just as he opened the door to the living room.
Chen Jia's voice sounded from behind: "Hey, why did you find a walk-on?"
When Zhong An heard this, his body shook violently, and for some reason the tension in his body suddenly disappeared. He turned around suddenly and said to Chen Jia with unprecedented seriousness: "No, I am an actor."
He can let anyone humiliate him, but he can't let others say that he is not an actor.
Wang Mo stared at Zhong An and saw the seriousness, persistence and dedication in his eyes as an actor.
This look seemed familiar.
Wang Mo's heart jumped fiercely. He quickly suppressed the throbbing and silently said in his heart: "Change your temperament."
suddenly!
Wang Mo seemed to be a different person. A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "No, you are just a side hustle."
The voice was full of sarcasm.
Even Chen Jia and Chai Qing were shocked. They had never seen Wang Mo in such a state.
As for the parties involved.
Zhong An seemed to be stimulated. He bit his lip, a trace of blood bleeding from the corner of his mouth. He said word by word: "No matter what you say, I... am an actor."
Wang Mo: "He's just a sidekick."
Zhong An's eyes were red, and he finally broke out: "Aren't walk-ons human beings? Why do you all look down on walk-ons? Yes, I am a walk-on, but am I not qualified to act?"
At this moment, Zhong An was astonished.
"Shut up!"
"go out!"
When Chen Jia and Chai Qing saw this, they rushed towards Zhong An almost at the same time.
Especially Chai Qing, he was almost scared out of his mind because he was the one who found Zhong An! But now this guy is actually roaring at Wang Mo.
It’s over!
It’s over!
All is lost!
You bastard, are you looking for death?
However, just as the two stood up, they heard Wang Mo shout: "Don't move!"
The two people turned their heads to look, and their expressions suddenly became dull.
I saw that Wang Mo's oppressive momentum and condescending attitude just now had disappeared, and turned into a face of extreme surprise.
then.
Wang Mo walked up to Zhong An, with a bright light in his eyes.
"picture!"
"so similar!"
Looking at Zhong An, Wang Mo was so excited that he could hardly control himself.
Because he saw the shadow of a person, or a character, in Zhong An at this moment, that is Yin Tianchou in "The King of Comedy".
Wang Mo suddenly patted Zhong An on the shoulder: "Can you say 'struggle, work hard'?"
"ah?"
Zhong An was confused for a moment, but he immediately reacted.
He's not stupid.
On the contrary, he is extremely smart.
So he realized almost instantly that Wang Mo's behavior just now was most likely not to humiliate him, but to audition! Special audition!
At this time, Zhong An was no longer nervous. He just took a few deep breaths and put his hands to his mouth naturally, as if he had done this countless times.
It seems that he is not auditioning, but showing life scenes he has experienced.
He faced the void with desire and unwillingness in his eyes.
"Strive~~~Work hard~~~"
Zhong An shouted out, with indescribable emotions.
Even Chen Jia and Chai Qing next to them couldn't help but be moved after hearing this cry that seemed to contain a person's lifelong pursuit.
As for Wang Mo.
His eyes became complicated.
He was not sure whether the man in front of him could become the legendary Star Master in the future. But he was sure that he did see the shadow of Master Xing in the other party.
It’s not that people look alike.
But that kind of temperament!
What an experience!
That kind of persistence that is willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of acting!
"You passed the audition."
Wang Mo patted Zhong An on the shoulder and said in a deep voice. (End of chapter)
