Chapter 6 Audition (2)

Li Tang sat on the chair and looked at the two interviewers opposite him with a decent smile.

He was very familiar with the interview. He had experienced countless times in his previous life, without any tension and was particularly relaxed.

Peng Xiaolian and Zhang Jianya couldn't help but look at each other. The condition of this guy surprised them. They didn't have the feeling of being a fledgling girl at all, but they were like old people who had been living in the past for many years.

Peng Xiaolian smiled and spoke directly in English: "I noticed that your expertise is proficient in English. Please introduce yourself in English."

Oh, don't play according to common sense.

Li Tang was very surprised that the other party actually had a New York accent, which sounded very friendly.

He smiled and replied, "My name is Li Tang, I am 24 years old this year. I graduated from the Shanghai Theatre Performance Department and have participated in..."

He introduced himself, neither exaggerating nor belittled. The so-called performance experience listed is the supporting actors he had run and the advertisements he had filmed, including the drama "The Color of Stocks" that has not been performed yet.

Listening to his New York accent that was fluenter than himself and had a more standard accent, Peng Xiaolian couldn't help but open her mouth wide. As soon as he finished speaking, he subconsciously asked: "Did you grow up in New York?"

If it weren't for face-to-face, just listening to the sound, Peng Xiaolian really wouldn't suspect that the other party was a native of New Yorker.

"Uh, I grew up in the countryside of Shanghai." Li Tang touched his nose.

"How is it possible? Your English teacher came back from New York, USA?" Peng Xiaolian looked in disbelief.

Li Tang realized that he had pretended to be a little too much and said vaguely: "My mother is in the United States, so I learned English very early."

"So you will go to the United States in the future?"

Peng Xiaolian nodded. The proportion of Shanghai people with overseas relations is very high. In addition to those who went out before liberation, there were also many people who went out around the special period. Li Tang's mother was in the United States. She thought it was a family background, and she naturally believed that Li Tang.

I will definitely go out in the future.

"I don't want to go...oh, I don't have this plan yet."

"Huh, why?" Peng Xiaolian said in surprise.

After all, people in China want to run out these days, let alone the United States.

"I think it's not easy to get along in the United States, and I like acting, so there may be more opportunities to stay in China."

“…”

Peng Xiaolian was speechless because she knew too much about the meaning of the sentence "The United States is not easy to get along, and there are many opportunities in China." She has been studying and working in the United States for seven years, either helping others or shooting short films that no one cares about.

If you can't integrate into the mainstream, and after returning to China, you can be reused and get the opportunity to take the lead in shooting important tribute films.

She felt more and more that the young man in front of her was mature far beyond her age. Of course, she would not express her true thoughts, after all, she still had to maintain her returnee character.

She looked at Li Tang with a deep meaning, then switched to normal Chinese and said: "The country has indeed developed very quickly in the past two years, but if you have the opportunity, you still have to go out and take a look, increase your knowledge and learn more about others.

This will improve oneself.

Okay, now you will show us a scene of ‘Long Farewell and Reunion’.”

Finally getting back to the topic, Zhang Jianya, who was sitting next to him, finally breathed a sigh of relief. The two of them had a big talk just now, but he didn't understand a single word.

"Are there any specific designations for the person you meet again after a long time?" Li Tang asked.

"Lovers."

"Two directors, give me a minute."

Li Tang stood up, took the chair to the free place next to him, and then did a few stretching movements.

He has developed a long time to warm up before performing.

While warming up, I thought quickly in my mind.

The topic of "Reunion after a long time" is simple and simple, and complicated, because it is easy to exert too much force during performance.

For example, they will cheer excitedly, embrace and rotate regardless of the eyes of the people around them, roar loudly, and make the smile on their faces freely.

This won't really happen in life, it's a psychopath, it's the actor's self-entertainment.

"Reunion after a long time" must first set a good situation, such as at the station, there are many people around.

The general routine is that I opened my eyes wide and saw her in the crowd at a glance. I couldn't wait to rush into the crowd, jumped up while running, and kept calling her name in my mouth.

Then he couldn't stop his ears happily and looked her up and down with a pair of hot eyes. He was reluctant to move away for a second. The corners of his mouth and eyebrows that seemed to be about to be released could not be concealed and expressed his excitement and joyful mood.

Of course, this kind of performance that the audience generally recognizes is a piece of cake for Li Tang and can be easily picked up. But at this time he wanted to show a more advanced performance.

He has been acting in stage plays for so many years in his previous life. His biggest feeling is that although he is acting, he is most realistic. He must fully understand the plot, put himself into the role, and let the inner drama drive body language, so that the audience can be moved by emotions.

.If the audience can tell at a glance that you are "acting", then your performance will definitely fail.

After Li Tang clarified his thoughts, he signaled that he was ready.

"action!" Peng Xiaolian shouted.

I saw Li Tang standing there, first stroking his hair, then tidying up the collar, smoothing the wrinkles on his clothes, and his movements were very meticulous.

Just one appearance made Peng Xiaolian blink, and Zhang Jianya subconsciously sat upright.

When a man is about to meet a lover who has been together for a long time, his first reaction should be to organize his appearance, just like a peacock courting and show his best side.

Then he stretched his neck and glanced around, and stood on tiptoe.

One of the main features here is to highlight "finding", so you must express it both physically and visually.

Suddenly, his eyes were fixed and he looked straight, his face showed ecstasy expression, his mouth widened, as if he was about to shout, but he didn't shout, so that his face turned red by being held back.

The small steps forward, slowly, gradually accelerated, and suddenly stopped. In just a few short steps, the eyes became wet, and the corners of the mouth moved unconsciously. He wanted to say something, but when he spoke, he choked back.

He raised his slightly trembling hand, gently and carefully, as if he was stroking a peerless treasure, with a smile in his tears.

“cut!”

When Li Tang heard Peng Xiaolian stop, he breathed a sigh of relief. He had no physical performances and no opponents to play. The performance was just right, otherwise there would be no opponent's response, and then the next one would be an awkward performance.

“It was a good performance.”

Peng Xiaolian took the initiative to hand over the tissue.

"Thank you, director."

Li Tang took it and wiped his eyes.

Acting in crying scenes is the basic skill of an actor, but to act until tears turn in his eyes without falling, that is real kung fu.

Peng Xiaolian looked at him carefully again. The young man had equally excellent external conditions, and he became more satisfied with the more he looked at him.

"Okay, let's get here today. Well, you go back first and wait for the news." Peng Xiaolian said.

Li Tang was stunned for a moment, thinking that this was over? But he didn't ask too much, bowed to the two of them and said, "Okay, thank you director!"

Watching the young man go out, Zhang Jianya, who was sorting out the things on the table, saw Peng Xiaolian writing the three words "Guo Shaobai" on Li Tang's resume, and couldn't help but say, "Are you a decision?"
