In Chen Ming's expectation, the audition was actually more about testing the compatibility between the actor and the character.
Especially after filming so many scenes, Chen Ming feels that preparatory work is very important!
What's more, this "Great Summer" is Chen Ming's first historical drama.
Chen Ming naturally attaches great importance to it!
However, Chen Ming did not expect that Xingyu Entertainment would pay more attention to this historical drama than he did.
Looking at the people in the front row of the dance room, Chen Ming actually felt a slight pressure.
If this historical drama is not filmed well, the reputation accumulated before may be shattered...
There are many characters in "Grand Summer".
Each character has a large independent role.
But everyone knows it!
There are actually only two protagonists in today's audition, Cui Lai and Chen Ming.
Just because the roles of these two people are so important!
As for other characters, such as Wen Zichun, Wen Zikai, etc., their acting skills only need to pass.
But for Cui Lai and Chen Ming, acting skills alone are not enough.
What's more important than acting is... momentum!
The emperor despises everything!
Wen Taibao, played by Cui Lai, needs a keen sense of brilliance and brilliance.
Wen Taibao and Wen Zidi had different attitudes towards the imperial brothers.
Wen Taibao preferred house arrest;
And Wen Zidi is killing.
This also leads to the fact that Wen Taibao is much easier to talk to than Wen Zidi when he is not losing his temper.
Many people even think that Wen Taibao was a benevolent emperor.
Therefore, Cui Lai's task is to perform this sense of dormant danger in which the emperor's domineering power has been restrained.
He is a smiling tiger on weekdays, but he spares no one under the butcher's knife.
In contrast, Wen Zidi, played by Chen Ming, is even more arrogant.
To be honest, Wen Zidi's personality is completely opposite to Chen Ming's own personality. It is actually very difficult for Chen Ming, an usually easy-going person, to perform murderous aura.
But it’s challenging when it’s difficult!
Chen Ming just wants to challenge himself.
Today, everyone's eyes are focused on Cui Lai and Chen Ming.
There is a changing room in the dance room.
The costumes for today's audition were all personally selected by those historical researchers in the front row.
It is to restore the costumes of the Daxia Dynasty to a high degree.
After changing clothes, the actors present began to audition one after another.
Everyone's audition plot is different, but basically it is the plot and lines that best express the character's personality.
Chen Ming and Cui Lai are the main characters, so their audition part started at the end.
The previous audition went very smoothly!
Still the same sentence!
For other characters, as long as you have acting skills, it is not difficult to perform the character's characteristics.
Among the actors present, those with the worst acting skills are probably Tong Ran and Zhou Yike.
Even the two people with the worst acting skills did not hold back at all when they played Wen Zichun and Wen Zikai.
During this period, historians in the front row will also put forward some opinions to help the actors better understand historical figures.
It is worth mentioning that the role of Yu Qian was added by Chen Ming himself, and there is no historical reference figure.
Scholars cannot comment too much on the actor in this role, they can only let him play freely.
After everyone else's audition was over, it was finally Cui Lai and Chen Ming's turn.
Cui Lai and Chen Ming each had a solo audition, and then there was another audition where the two of them showed off their acting skills.
Altogether, there are three audition scenes in total.
"Uncle Cui, you come first."
At this moment, Chen Ming was wearing the general's armor, not the prince's python robe, nor the emperor's dragon robe.
A military uniform!
An ancient sword was slung around his waist, his hair was in a bun, and he stood straight in front of him with starry eyebrows and a loose nose.
It doesn't have the aura of an emperor, but it has a somewhat domineering charm.
This is Wen Zidi’s temperament before he became emperor!
Chen Ming was the first to speak. Cui Lai took a deep breath and stood up, wearing a Daxia dragon robe with him. At the same time, his momentum also began to change: "Then I will come first."
To be honest, Wen Zidi played a huge role in being able to replace Taibao Wen as the emperor!
When Wen Taibao was still a prince, the late emperor had so many children, and there were many people who were more qualified to ascend the throne than Wen Taibao.
Wen Taibao didn't want to argue at first.
But his son Wen Zidi disagreed!
If Wen Taibao does not ascend to the throne, how will he covet the throne in the future?
This is a matter of order.
then,
Wen Zidi showed strong ambition when he was young. He often stayed in Wen Taibao's ear and persuaded him: "Father, think about it before, which emperor ascended the throne and didn't start to eliminate brothers and sisters? If others were allowed to
If we ascend the throne, will our family still have a way to survive?"
Wen Taibao thought about it carefully and it made sense.
After he ascended the throne, he could still be placed under house arrest, leaving those brothers alive.
But it's hard to say for others.
Only then did Wen Taibao's desire to seize the throne begin to sprout.
Essentially,
Wen Taibao is actually a good person.
He is similar to Zhu Gaochi of the Ming Dynasty. After he succeeded to the throne, he advocated benevolent governance internally, but the children under his control did not make him worry.
In this way,
Cui Lai actually looks a bit like Wen Taibao in his early days.
Cui Lai's mentality of not wanting to do something but having to do it made him feel a little bit like Wen Taibao's state of mind along the way.
Cui Lai walked to the front.
This section is his solo audition.
"The content of the trial play: Yu Qian enters the palace and asks His Majesty to show mercy to the world and keep the people away from the flames of war."
"After Yu Qian's performance, you can start your audition performance."
"Any questions? Uncle Cui."
Chen Ming took a look at the audition script. This scene in the main hall was actually depicting Wen Taibao's difficulties.
Cui Lai closed his eyes and remained silent for a few seconds, then opened his eyes, his eyes full of determination: "No problem."
His performance is crucial.
Chen Ming nodded and looked at the actor playing Yu Qian aside: "You don't need to come on stage, just recite this line with emotion."
It's a bit like the emotional reading required by my Chinese teacher when I was a child.
The person in charge is Chen Ming.
The others remained silent.
After a few seconds,
Chen Ming shouted loudly: "Cheng Zong and Wen Taibao, it's your first audition, let's begin!"
After giving the order, Cui Lai's eyes changed instantly.
He is a national first-class actor!
Although I have never played the role of an emperor, I must have figured out some tricks after studying it carefully for a week.
The next second, Yu Qian's heartbroken shouts resounded throughout the dance room, shocking people: "Your Majesty, please show mercy to the world!!!"
Years of war have caused unspeakable suffering to the people of the Great Xia Dynasty, but this suffering seems to be worth it.
Exchange the infamy of one life for peace of all generations.
When future generations mention Chengzong Wen Taibao, they may scold or demean him, but they still have to call him Emperor Chengzong!
for a moment,
Cui Lai's temperament changed again.
In just a few dozen seconds from the time he took the stage to now, his whole demeanor has changed three times.
The first time was anxiety; the second time was majesty; the third time was sadness.
Even his most valued minister, Yu Qian, didn't understand why he wanted to fight.
Some battles need not be fought.
But some battles have to be fought to the end even with bloodshed!
