I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 573 571 Headshot

Chapter 573 571. Headshot

After watching Tang Yan's performance, no one would think that she would still be a finalist.

In other words, even if she has been shortlisted, others will not think that she has any chance.

The people present are either smart or old fools.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see why Director Xu gives such preferential treatment.

The entertainment industry needs some people to be innovative.

Some people say that if an artist has no personality, it is equivalent to death.

But this is just a lie to children.

What adults pay attention to is being able to have both sides and welcome everyone with a smile.

The promotion of auditions is a very subjective process, and everything depends on the director's preference or the investor's instructions.

Director Xu doesn't need investors, he just needs to follow his own preferences.

Everyone saw Tang Yan's state from entering the stage to leaving after the performance. Everyone knows what it is like.

But people live with only one face.

Everyone knows whether Tang Yan's performance is a failure. She should know it herself.

Anyone who knows why Director Xu gave this result will know...it's to take care of Tang Yan's face.

With this kind of relationship, let alone Tang Yan, even the people who are closest to him can't say anything.

Because they have given you enough face.

You have to want it, you can’t say no.

Because if you refuse, you don’t know how to appreciate it.

And that's another story.

So, just advance if you advance, and you may not be able to see her in the end anyway. While everyone didn't care... on the contrary, they learned from Director Xu how to behave tactfully.

No wonder they are successful.

Tsk.

Looking at the silhouette of Xu Xin sitting at the table, looking down at the information, everyone was filled with emotion.

People who show off their individuality may gain a large number of fans in a short period of time, but...it really does apply to that sentence.

Only when still water runs deep can it have a long history.

Not bad at all.

…

"Hello, MIUMIU."

Seeing Gong Xinliang walking in, Xu Xin smiled and said hello.

"hello."

Gong Xinliang smiled and nodded:

"Hello directors, I am Gong Xinliang..."

"Okay, we're all on our own, so there's no need to be so polite. After the audition, you can just go to my office and rest. Let's have dinner together in the evening."

Lao Lang's girlfriend still has to give her face.

I can’t play the leading role anyway.

Therefore, Xu Xin showed off everyone's intimate relationship "unscrupulously".

Then, Gong Xinliang's performance was so-so... Although he performed very hard, Xu Xin didn't comment on his acting skills and just nodded:

"OK, let's talk after work is over later."

So he invited Gong Xinliang out.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Sicong became a little nervous.

Because...the next female auditioner should be Wang Ying.

He had to be nervous.

Even if he knew that Wang Ying would definitely join the group, it would be the same.

And it turned out that Wang Ying was also nervous.

After seeing this room of people, the little girl realized that although she had not experienced model assessments and crew auditions, her performance was indeed not very good.

However, her audition role was very clear.

Not Huang Xiaoxian.

After she came in, after introducing herself, she said that she was auditioning for the role of a "quarrelsome couple".

Then Wang Ying performed a mime for more than a minute.

There are no lines, but body language is used to express a very aggressive personality.

Xu Xin also gave his own evaluation:

"Actually, sometimes when you are acting in a quarrel, you don't necessarily have to add a lot of large-scale body language to express your mood. In the actor industry, you not only have to have acting skills, but you also have to learn how to use your own advantages. For example, your height, For example, your facial features.

Your facial features are very obvious. If your body language is too loud during an argument, you will look like a spider, which will lose your sense of beauty.

So most of the time, when you perform this kind of scene, you only need to express your arrogance. You have a good height and a good temperament, but too much body language will destroy the feeling of being remembered by the audience at a glance..."

Compared to Gong Xinliang, Xu Xin gave more advice on her acting skills.

Others didn't think anything of it.

It's just that the big old king looked satisfied.

Obviously, Lao Xu's attitude towards Gong Xinliang is fundamentally different from Wang Xiaoben's.

The former means that you can be good at acting or bad at acting, and I don’t care about you.

But later on he was obviously helping our Wang Xiaoben...

hey-hey.

My little Ben is so cute...

Licking~

The eldest young master looked obsessed.

He really fell in love with this lovely girl who was pure at heart and had a clear personality.

After Wang Ying bowed and left, Xu Xin turned to look at Wang Sicong:

"Go ahead?"

"It's okay, she just needs to stay by herself."

The eldest young master said something harshly.

"..."

Xu Xin rolled his eyes:

"MIUMIU is still outside. Okay, get out of here."

"...Tsk."

After understanding his attitude of trying to calm Wang Xiaoben and MIUMIU's bowl of water, Wang Sicong stood up helplessly and said hello to Xu Zhi and the others:

"I'll go out to maintain the backyard first...and book a restaurant by the way? What should we eat for dinner?"

"Your Wang Xiaoben has been promoted to the cast of "Thirty-three Days of Love". It's up to you to decide what specifications to arrange."

Hearing Xu Xin's words, Wang Sicong couldn't help but smile on his face.

He nodded and responded:

"Okay, leave it to me."

Then he walked out in a hurry.

"call……"

Xu Xin pinched the bridge of his nose.

Reinvigorated:

"Next person."

He now understood to some extent why the old man basically let the first round of auditions for his movies go to the assistant director.

He has not yet reached the status of an old man, and there are a lot of connections around him that need to be weighed.

What will happen in the future...it's hard to say.

But think about it...according to Beijing circles: It doesn't matter. What kind of entertainment industry are you in?

Tsk tsk.

…

Wang Xiaojian, Lu Ran, Wei Yiran, "Big Old Wang", Kind Girl, Li Ke...

As the numbers in the 10 to 30 range gradually ended, other auditions became normal.

One by one.

But Xu Xin's heart became a little numb.

Either she's too young, she's not suitable, or her acting is a complete mess...

Where has the little yellow fairy I wanted gone?

That kind of person...who has both the softness of a woman and a temperament that is not inferior to that of a man...where has he gone?

Why is it so hard to find?

For now, including related households, after searching around, there is only one Bai Zhenhe, which is not bad.

But there are also problems with role positioning itself.

Is it difficult to find Wong Siu Sin’s role in this drama?

Why do so many people think Huang Xiaoxian is a tomboy?

She is not a tomboy, just an ordinary girl with a tough mouth but a soft heart.

Why do everyone act in the direction of a manly woman?

He had a headache.

But... the good news is that it's already the 37th.

Today's audition ends with only two girls left.

And the bad news is...he didn't even see Huang Xiaoxian's shadow.

When I was helpless, the door was pushed open again.

Di Wei, who had a hair style that was either long or short, stepped in.

It's past five o'clock now.

She waited all afternoon and was actually a little upset.

But I didn't dare to show it.

When she reached the peeling cross sign, she bowed to everyone.

"Hello directors, I am Wei Wei, a singer and actor under Star International. I graduated from Zhejiang University of Communication. I am 169 centimeters tall and weigh 50 kilograms..."

She began to introduce herself.

But Xu Xin's eyes narrowed.

This girl's voice...

Not right either.

It should be said that her temperament...

A little bit of a feeling.

It made him feel something.

And when he heard the words "Audition Huang Xiaoxian", he nodded directly:

"What is your positioning for the role of Huang Xiaoxian?"

"Pretty soft."

"..."

"...?"

"???"

Di Wei's instinctive answer made everyone who was already emotionally numb startled.

And Xu Xin...

Calm.

Just continue to ask:

"Are you sure?"

"Sure."

Si Wei nodded generously:

"She is pretending to be fierce. In fact, she is a soft persimmon. If my friend dares to cheat on me, I will just pick up the knife and block the door of this bad couple. But she can only cry secretly by herself. She is cowardly and weak. .Why are you crying over a scumbag?"

"..."

This sister is not easy to mess with.

A consensus emerged in everyone's mind.

But Xu Xin frowned:

"Then how do you plan to perform it? How do you plan to perform Huang Xiaoxian?"

"Strong on the outside but capable on the inside."

Di Wei shrugged, looking carefree:

"I'm talking about my feelings towards Huang Xiaoxian, but the character in the book is that of a girl who is strong on the outside but strong on the inside. She is not fierce, but she has a tough mouth. Just act according to this feeling."

"..."

Is it strange?

Very strange.

It is obvious that he can say something as dangerous as "holding a knife to block your door" as soon as he comes up.

Her character is also revealed from the side.

But this girl happens to be very sober...

It can even be said that the summary of Huang Xiaoxian is quite accurate.

Now, Xu Xin was really interested.

Thinking about it...

"Lao Tian, give her the script. Just play the part played by Bai Zhenhe... Read the lines and I'll give you five minutes to write them down. Do you have any questions?"

Logically speaking, Xu Xin's words clearly indicate the special treatment he receives as a director.

As an actor, you should be happy.

Ke Wei...

She was indeed very happy, but...

"I'll try...I don't have a good memory."

She said while laughing.

"It doesn't matter."

Xu Xin smiled, and Tian Yusheng handed over his script and helped her find the passage she wanted to act.

Then, the whole room became quiet.

Si Wei's preparation method is no different from ordinary people.

Holding a script, he sometimes lowered his head and sometimes raised his head.

After about two or three minutes, she closed the script and took a deep breath.

After looking around, he simply moved a chair over and grabbed the plastic cup in his hand.

After sitting down, she seemed to have forgotten to find someone to play with, and looked straight at Xu Xin...

Those eyes were unblinking.

Moreover, although her lips were not open, it could be seen that her teeth should be biting inside her lips.

It became a thin line.

Coupled with her piercing eyes, when I think of the girl's "raise the knife" comment just now... a feeling of fear and panic suddenly comes out.

It was as if she could jump up and bite anyone at any moment.

Then, in the next second...

With lightning speed, she grabbed the plastic cup and threw it on the ground.

"Boom!"

"Whoosh!"

"..."

"Dang bang dong dong dong..."

The cup first hit the ground, then rebounded and went straight to the door in front of Xu Xin. Xu Xin turned his head to dodge and hit the wall behind him and the people in the second row. Finally, it bounced and fell to the ground.

"..."

Everyone twitched their mouths...

And Di Wei was also stunned, and subconsciously stood up:

"sorry Sorry……"

"you……"

Looking at her panicked look, Xu Xin, who was about to be shot in the head, felt bitter...

"Keep it tight."

"Yes, yes, I'm sorry, Director Xu, I'm really sorry..."

Si Wei nodded as if pounding garlic.

Fortunately it didn't hit.

If it was hit...it would be a big sin on my part.

Came here for an audition and blew director Xu’s head off?

Will there be any good after this?

Then she wanted to pick up the cup, but after picking up the cup, she was stunned again...

Unconsciously, his eyes fell on Xu Xin's face...

Just when everyone thought she was going to do something, she seemed to notice something and quickly put the cup back in place.

Yes, you read that right.

Just in situ.

"..."

A group of people just looked at the cup that was "returned to its original owner" on the ground, and their minds were a little empty.

Wo...Wotea has Du Ying?

And when Di Wei noticed everyone's gaze, she was stunned again...

Then……

"Swiss, rustle, rustle..."

She suddenly scratched her scalp with a distressed look on her face, and her long or short hair turned into a weed-like shape again...

Then, with a sense of risk, he picked up the cup again.

Sitting on the chair...he began to look directly at Xu Xin.

This time, Xu Xin couldn't do it.

no……

This sister... what is she going to do?

What kind of work?

Just as she was wondering, a few seconds later, she threw the cup on the ground again...

"Dong~"

This time the cup went somewhere else.

"Graduation day from college! We'll be right here!"

She stared at Xu Xin and said directly:

"Drank too much."

"..."

In Xu Xin's silence, she looked at Xu Xin with her voice, which was somewhat hoarse, and her fixed eyes:

"I said it's a good thing we're still together."

"..."

"You cried too, you said we would be together forever!"

"..."

"Is it real?"

Looking at Xu Xin who was silent, she continued to ask:

"Let me ask you! Is it true!?"

mood.

Touchable emotions.

Use emotions to drive your lines. Let the emotions contained in the lines infect the audience.

Naturally, with a kind of persistence of "tears without speaking", without shedding tears, using the softest words, turned into the sharpest knife, stabbing into the hearts of oneself and the "enemy".

Everyone could clearly sense the emotion in this girl's tone.

Under the influence of this emotion, her expressionless gaze became the best interpretation of her mood at this moment.

She, Huang Xiaoxian, is not here to quarrel.

But want an answer.

Xu Xin didn't answer.

It doesn't matter.

She continued to ask:

"Let's go to a bar and someone takes advantage of you. I'm going to get that man! Lu Ran can't even hold me back! Just to get justice for you!"

"..."

"You hugged me in fear and said, Xiao Xian'er, let's stop making trouble and let's go. I was scared! After leaving, you hugged me and cried, saying that you would feel safest only if you were by my side! Is it real!?"

The words...are not quite right.

But the flavor is noticeable.

This phrase was paired with her eyes that had not blinked since the beginning of the performance. Those eyes had spontaneously started to mist because of their dryness.

Appears hazy and moist.

But the emotion in his tone became more and more real.

"I couldn't find a job! I didn't dare to tell Lu Ran. I lied to him that I was going to work every day and came to your house. In order to prevent me from going hungry, you came back to cook for me at noon every day. You said that if I look for If I don’t get a job, you will take care of me for the rest of my life! Is it true!?”

"..."

The tears used to moisten the eyeballs are accumulating more and more, and the eye sockets can no longer hold them.

She let the tears fall down and make ridges on her face, but she still didn't blink.

Just continue to use this kind of performance and this kind of emotion to seek the kind of attitude from Xu Xin...or Huang Xiaoxian to Feng Jiaqi.

Is your kindness to me true?

Xu Xin's silence destined Feng Jiaqi to have no answer.

Until she nodded herself:

"good."

The sound of the word "good" in the hoarse voice has begun to sound hollow due to crying.

Then, she finally wiped her cheeks with her hands.

After wiping away the tears:

"Well done, Feng Jiaqi. You are so good."

She said as she stood up from her chair.

"You two, get out. You and Lu Ran, get out. Don't ever appear in front of me."

After saying that, he went straight to the door.

Then after arriving at the door, she turned around, looked at everyone and bowed:

"My performance is over... I'm sorry, Director Xu. Thank you to all the directors... Goodbye."

She really couldn't figure out how to advance with her poor performance just now. She took one last look at the cup on the ground...then turned the door handle and walked out.

Comes and goes like the wind...

Only the people who looked at each other were left.

"..."

Everyone, look at me, and I'll look at you.

After realizing that Director Xu was looking at him, Xue Yong opened his mouth...

After organizing his language, he said:

"not bad."

Hearing this, Xu Xin said nothing and turned to look at Wang Lei.

"...To be honest, I'm a little confused."

Wang Lei thought for a while and said:

"Judging from her performance, she is quite to my liking. But... this girl feels reckless..."

nonsense.

Can you not be rash?

Have you ever seen anyone who almost blew the director’s head off during an audition?

If Director Xu hadn't been able to dodge quickly, the cup would have hit his head.

Why is she using so much force?

Xu Xin looked at the others and asked for the rare first time:

"How do you feel?"

"It feels okay."

Wen Mino was the first to speak:

"There were mistakes in the front... but the performance stage was quite good. The emotions were very full, although the lines seemed not quite right and the meaning was different. But I could feel her emotions. From a side perspective, it also gave a good impression of the character's personality. It’s a portrayal. In the story I read, Huang Xiaoxian has such a character. He dares to love and hate in front of others, but when he is alone, he is really soft..."

His words were recognized by several people around him.

Xu Xin looked at Xu Zhi again.

The two of them thought about it for a while...

Xu Yang:

"quite pretty."

Xu Zhi:

"This woman is not an economical lamp."

"..."

The two people's answers received a big look from Xu Xin.

But after asking around, he commented alone for a while...

Then she threw her information into the promotion basket without hesitation:

"Next person."

It was okay, he was actually quite satisfied.

But this character... is indeed a bit irritable.

You need to restrain yourself.

But among the 39 people, she is indeed the one who best fits the "Huang Xiaoxian" in her heart.

…

In one afternoon, the auditions for all the first batch of actors were completed.

Xu Xin, who did not expect to receive a surprise in the end, seemed very relaxed.

"Let's go have dinner. Let's see what dinner the young master has arranged for us."

He joked and took the lead and walked out.

The corridor was deserted.

There are only a few employees cleaning.

Seeing this, Xu Xin waved his hand:

"Okay, it won't be too late to clean up tomorrow. You've all worked hard. Let's get off work, everyone."

After waving to several staff members to signal everyone to get off work, Xu Xin called Yang Mi while walking to the office.

"Dudu...hey, is it over?"

"Well, the first day is over. But I guess it will take another two or three days."

"I know."

"you know?"

Xu Xin was stunned.

"Yes, Tang Yan called me this afternoon and apologized to you."

"Well……"

"She said she didn't adjust well and her performance was bad. Thank you for giving her another chance... Then I asked you about the situation over there. Okay, one or two hundred people?"

"Um."

Xu Xin responded and pushed open the office door.

He waved his hand at the big and small kings and Gong Xinliang, and then continued:

"We are going to have dinner now. I have tried my best on Tang Yan. Here I found a girl who fits Huang Xiaoxian's setting very well. With her acting skills...and appearance, it is basically impossible for her to play the leading role."

"found it?"

Yang Mi was a little surprised:

"Who?"

"My name is Si Wei. She is the most satisfied among these people so far. She is very good. But she is a bit reckless..."

"She? She went to the audition?"

"you know?"

"You're stupid, have you forgotten that I also used her ringtone? That song "No. 18 on the Bund"... I don't know what you are thinking~ Or that place and street~ oh~~"

"Don't speak, I'm on my own..."

Xu Xin asked her to stop and asked with some surprise:

"Did she sing this song?"

"Yes. I often sing this song when I go to KTV..."

"...Okay. She is quite suitable, but we have to wait and see. There are still about a hundred people behind us."

"Well, you can just deal with Tang Yan's matter. Favors are favors, but at least we gave her a chance. If she really can't do it, just let her find her own reasons. Then Sister Hua will follow me in the afternoon. I made a phone call, and I heard that it probably meant she was saying thank you or something like that... I don’t know what happened, but you can handle it as you see fit."

"Okay. That's okay, we're going out to eat."

"Well, go ahead, go ahead..."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Sicong, who was walking behind him hand in hand with Wang Ying, said:

"Has the protagonist been found?"

"It's hard to say...but at least someone who fits my expectations has appeared."

He said and looked at Gong Xinliang:

"Where is the old wolf? Did you come back on your own?"

"Um."

Gong Xinliang responded:

"He's over in Norway..."

As she spoke, she hesitated slightly and suddenly asked:

"Do I have a lot of roles? He has a few schedules ahead. If there are more...I will wait for him in China."
