"We let the performance go. We don't have any pre-determined names. We will choose whoever performs well."
During the role audition, Zhang Tan also came to the company. Before starting, he walked around the company and unknowingly walked to Song Ping's seat and gave him some encouragement.
Song Ping was a little embarrassed, as if there was an internal competition for a vice president in the company, and one of his clerks suddenly signed up.
Although the company does not explicitly prohibit small employees from signing up, this seems to be everyone's default rule.
It's just that Song Ping was unwilling to give in and wanted to give it a try. He was laughed at behind the back and accepted the joke even though he didn't think he was capable.
"Boss, I will do my best," Song Ping said.
Zhang Tan said some words of encouragement and left.
He really didn't expect Song Ping to sign up. From the bottom of his heart, he didn't think Song Ping was suitable.
When Zhang Tan returned to the office and sat down, picking up the audition materials on the table, he suddenly thought that he had never seen Song Ping perform. He had always been guiding others to perform, and he was completely immersed in playing a role.
Never seen it before.
He quickly flipped through the actors' information. He had heard of many of them, and many of them were well-known actors.
After flipping through it quickly, he thought about it, got up, and walked to the audition conference room.
There was also a conference room next door, which was larger than the audition room. The door was ajar and opened a little. When Zhang Tan passed by, he glanced inside a few times and happened to meet a pair of eyes inside.
He didn't recognize who the other person was at all, but when he met him, he nodded at the other person, smiled, and then quickly walked over and entered the audition conference room.
The eyes in the waiting room were stunned, and they didn't recognize it as Zhang Tan at first, but after thinking about it, they knew who it could be. Isn't it the teacher Zhang who rarely appears in public!
Hey, you are really young and promising.
In the audition room, Zhang Tan joined temporarily, and the staff quickly brought a chair in from outside and placed it between Sheng Xiaoxiao and Liu Jinlu.
In addition to the three of them, there is another judge who is Liu Jinlu's assistant director and also serves as the character director.
The audition hadn't started yet. Zhang Tan and the others discussed it for a while and then got ready to start. The staff went to the next door to call the number, and whoever was called would come.
The first person to come in was a middle-aged actor. As soon as he entered, he bowed slightly in the direction of the judges' seat. This made Zhang Tan and others stunned. They all stood up in unison and also expressed respect to each other.
If people respect me one foot, I respect others one foot.
Zhang Tan knew the middle-aged man in front of him. He was a well-known actor, but he had never worked with him before.
The other party was probably the oldest in the audition room. The oldest among Zhang Tan and others was probably Liu Jinlu, and Liu Jinlu was obviously younger than them.
This is why when the other person bows when he enters the door, everyone quickly gets up.
This is an actor worthy of respect. He only works seriously in filming his whole life, never participates in variety shows, and never makes news.
Such pure actors are rare.
The staff closed the door of the audition room, and Liu Jinlu said to the visitor: "Please sit down."
The audition officially began, but Zhang Tan basically remained silent throughout the process, leaving all the work to Liu Jinlu and the others.
He just came to eat and watch the show.
Actually, he mainly wanted to see the effect of Song Ping's audition.
Song Ping was ranked second. He was an employee of the company. He came early and received his number early.
Looking at it this way, the middle-aged actor in the first place really came early, which shows how much he attaches importance to this audition.
After he finished, Liu Jinlu and others had a quick discussion and were very satisfied with this person.
"What do you think, Mr. Zhang?" Liu Jinlu finally asked.
Although Zhang Tan said that he would not comment on the audition, he still had to ask this question in the end.
Zhang Tan said: "It's pretty good."
Liu Jinlu laughed and said: "It's good, that's fine. He is completely qualified for one of the roles."
Zhang Tan nodded and said nothing. At this time, the door of the conference room opened again and Song Ping walked in.
The staff closed the door and left. Song Ping also bowed to the judges' table and briefly introduced himself.
Although everyone knew him, Song Ping still strictly followed the procedures and pretended that the person in front of him didn't know him.
"Which role do you want to audition for?" Liu Jinlu asked.
Song Ping said: "Rhode."
"Rhode?" Liu Jinlu was very surprised.
Zhang Tan and others sitting next to him also looked at Song Ping in surprise.
The character of Rhodes is the villain in the movie, the first supporting character, and a criminal pretending to be a police officer.
This is completely different from Song Ping's usual image.
Song Ping gives the impression of being polite and gentle. It is hard to imagine him playing a vicious criminal.
"Yes, I want to audition for Rhodes." Song Ping said with certainty.
Liu Jinlu looked at each other, nodded, took out the audition question for the role of Rod, and asked him to play a plot in the movie.
The character director is responsible for explaining the plot, and then gives Song Ping five minutes to prepare. Once the five minutes are over, the performance will begin.
Song Ping listened carefully to the plot, and then walked to the corner of the audition room to prepare. Five minutes later, when he turned around to prepare for the performance, his expression was already in a different state.
It's hard to explain that state clearly. It's not shown through exaggerated expressions and body movements. Song Ping doesn't seem to have changed much, but it gives people a sinister feeling.
He's really good at it, Zhang Tan said to himself.
"Let's get started." Liu Jinlu didn't waste any words and asked him to start.
…
Zhang Tan participated in the audition of the first five actors, and then he was called out by a phone call and never came back.
In the evening, Liu Jinlu called and asked for Zhang Tan's opinion on the results of today's audition. He, Sheng Xiaoxiao and others had already gone through the test first, and then drafted a list for Zhang Tan to make the final decision.
Zhang Tan checked the document on his phone and saw Song Ping's name at a glance, and then replied "Agree".
"Old man, I'm going to go play~"
At home, Xiaobai shouted and went downstairs with the little orange cat in his arms.
Zhang Tan quickly asked: "Have you finished your homework?"
"It's done~ Don't worry."
Xiaobai's figure has disappeared from sight.
In the classroom, the children are still discussing the marriage between Teacher Madoka and Xin Xiaoguang. This matter is the biggest event in Little Red Horse Academy this year. It will not stop until it is discussed for ten days and a half.
"Where's Teacher Xiao Yuan? I want to congratulate her." A child said.
"Teacher Xiao Yuan went on her honeymoon and won't be at Little Red Horse these days." It was Xiaomi who answered her.
"Ah, I went on my honeymoon, it must be very sweet~"
Obviously this is a little fool who doesn't understand what honeymoon means.
But Xiaomi still patiently explained to her.
"Xiaomi, Xiaomi~~"
"What's wrong?"
"Look, I've grown up again."
Xiaoxiao pointed to the corner of her mouth and showed it to Xiaomi. There was a small pimple there.
"Are you angry?" Xiaomi asked.
"I'm not angry, it's acne." Xiaoxiao said.
"Did you eat chili?" Xiaomi asked.
"I ate it."
That's it, it must be the result of eating chili peppers, which gave me anger, rather than acne. A three-year-old melon can have acne like a hammer.
But Xiaoxiao stubbornly believed that this was acne and evidence that she had grown up.
