In the studio.
The first round of auditions for Zhang Ye began.
Zhang Yuanqi, Dalong, Tian Xuetao, and the others were all quietly looking at the center of the studio. The staff were also looking at Zhang Ye curiously. Some of them had doubtful looks in their eyes, especially the actor who had been brushed off the audition and the other actor who was still waiting to be confirmed. They were wondering why the film crew had found a layman, and a complete layman at that. His every identity and field of work had nothing to do with movies at all!
Someone was whispering.
"Can Zhang Ye do it?"
"I don't know."
"Who invited him to audition?"
"I think it was arranged by the assistant director. I don't know who recommended him."
"He's a host, so he's at most involved in literature or mathematics. Why would he get Teacher Zhang to audition for such an urgent and important role? If it were a normal commercial comedy movie, it would be fine since there wouldn't be a need for much acting skills. But Grandmasters isn't like that. "
"Besides, it's even harder to act as the villain."
"Shh, it's starting. Let's watch."
Zhang Ye heard a few scattered discussions from the people around him, but this fellow did not take it to heart at all. He did not feel nervous at all. He might not dare to comment on other things, but acting skills? Back when he was playing the lottery, he had gotten the Advanced Mathematics Skill Experience Book along with the 141 Acting Skill Experience Books. He had memorized all of them at that time and had never used them before. This was also the reason why when Zhang Yuanqi called to ask him about it, he agreed without any hesitation. It was because Zhang Ye had a card up his sleeve.
What did 141 experience books mean?
Even if he could not reach the level of Zhang Yuanqi and the others, or even reach the top level, Zhang Ye's acting skills should not be too far off from the other professional actors!
The assistant director gave the question, "Unleash your natural instincts, tiger."
Zhang Ye did not even pause for a moment. He reflexively lowered his body to the ground and suddenly let out a tiger's roar. "Roar!!!"
That roar was too loud!
It was too sudden!
The director, assistant director, Tian Xuetao, and the others were not prepared for it. They were all shocked, not only by Zhang Ye's roar, but also by Zhang Ye's ferocious expression of a tiger! In the field of art, tigers were generally divided into two types. The first type was the uphill tiger. It was a tiger that returned to the mountains after a full meal. Its expression was more leisurely and calm. But Zhang Ye's performance was that of the downhill tiger. It was a hungry tiger that came down the mountains in search of food. the downhill tiger was the fiercest and most terrifying!
Zhang Yuanqi looked at Zhang Ye in surprise.
Tian Xuetao and the second female looked at Zhang Ye. and
The assistant director applauded and had goosebumps. "What a great Tiger Descending the Mountain! "Zhang" Ye
Zhang Ye stood up and dusted off the dirt on his hands. He was fine, except that his throat was a little hoarse. This was because the part of the tiger's voice that he imitated was a little special. It was not the normal part of the voice and was very abrasive. Most people would not be able to do that.
This performance of his had really shocked the director and the other actors. Generally speaking, anyone who studied acting would know how to unleash their natural instincts. Not to mention actors, even if they were a Beijing Film Academy's acting department student, they would still be able to do it well. But the acting department placed more emphasis on "acting". It depended on whether your actions and expressions had the charm of a tiger. The voice was secondary. But for Zhang Ye? Not only did he imitate the downhill tiger to perfection, the finishing touch was actually that hungry tiger's roar. Among all the professional actors present, none of them could produce such a sound!
Why couldn't they?
It was because of their professionalism!
Zhang Ye's acting skills were learned from eating skill books, but his broadcasting skills were learned bit by bit. As a graduate of Media College's Broadcasting Department, he specialized in pronunciation. Other actors might not be able to do it, but he could. This was the advantage he had as a professional. When it came to the basics of his profession, Zhang Ye was confident that he would not lose to anyone in the same profession as him, much less these amateurs who specialized in acting. Pronunciation was Zhang Ye's profession, and the foundation behind this roar was the result of three to five years of hard work. The friction and changes in the vocal area, the slight adjustments in the front and back of the voice, and the trembling frequency after the sound was produced were all knowledge that he had learned!
The assistant director asked again, "A wolf, a wolf that calls for its companions."
With the previous performance, everyone was looking forward to it. They all looked at him without blinking.
Zhang Ye was not in a hurry this time. He slowly mimicked the posture of a wolf and crouched down. He looked left and right and was silent for a few seconds. Then he crawled forward a few steps and looked left and right. Finally, he raised his head and stretched his neck towards the sky. He slowly let out a unique howl, "Ao …"
One second!
Ten seconds!
From light to high!
This breath, this howl, lasted for a full 16 to 17 seconds!
It could be seen that the pores on the arms of a few of the film crew's staff seemed to open up. That feeling was indescribable and a little horrifying!
Everyone was once again shocked by Zhang Ye's performance!
Similar! It was too similar! Not only was the expression similar, even that sound was exactly like a real wolf's!
There was a female staff member in the film crew who was born in the Inner Mongolian steppe. When she heard Zhang Ye imitating a wolf's howl, she cried out in horror in her heart. Holy shit, this was no longer a fake. If it were a real wolf with a weaker voice, it would probably not be able to howl as well as Zhang Ye!
The other actors were only imitating the form and acting like it was real.
But when Zhang Ye matched the animal's howl, it was as if he had the form and spirit in it. It was very lifelike!
With Zhang Ye's skills, many of the professional actors around him were convinced. They could still do other things, but when it came to imitating a voice, they really did not have Zhang Ye's skill!
The assistant director was about to ask the next question. "An eagle is …"
But Director Wang Chengpeng interrupted him and waved it off. "There's no need to try anymore."
The assistant director nodded. There was no need to try anymore. Releasing one's nature and imitating an animal was the most basic of acting skills, so there was no need to try anymore. No one present could compare to Zhang Ye. He knew that Zhang Ye's professional broadcasting skills had given him extra points. "Then we'll move on to the second round, the character."
Zhang Ye nodded. "Alright."
The assistant director said, "Get ready first. Try to immerse yourself into the character and follow the lines in the script. Let me know when you're ready."
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "I'm ready. I'm ready anytime."
When an actor immersed himself into a character, as long as they were not acting as themselves, they would definitely have their own methods and methods to immerse themselves into the character. The assistant director saw that Zhang Ye was ready even though he did not have any preparations, so he gave him another look. "Alright, then we'll start from the ninth scene with the third male lead's first line." The assistant director held the script and said, "The setting is the top floor of a skyscraper, and the line is' I don't care about you … '"
At this moment, Zhang Ye's expression suddenly changed. It was terrifyingly cold, but within the coldness, there was a hint of a gentle smile. Yes, it was not a cold smile. His smile was actually very gentle, but his face was suddenly cold. This kind of expression made people feel a sense of suffocation. He did not wait for the assistant director to finish and immediately started the rehearsal. "I don't care where you come from. I only know where I want to go. Even your master can't stop me, so who do you think you are? There's only you and your master left in this generation of Xingyi Quan. How pitiful, lamentable, and tragic! But, hur, your master is more fortunate than me. At least he has a philandering disciple, unlike me, who is all alone! "
The assistant director was taken aback and immediately said, "In the 15th scene, the line is' Don't talk to me …"
Zhang Ye's expression changed again. His face had the trademark stern look of a villain. "Don't fucking talk to me! In this day and age, who dares to call themselves a grandmaster? Your master can't do it, and you, even more so! " The original lines were not exactly like that. Zhang Ye had added an expletive, and the latter part of the line, "even more so", he had also cut off the line and added an empty word. He had done it based on his artistic intuition.
The assistant director took a deep breath and said, "In the 33rd scene."
Zhang Ye clutched his chest and gasped for breath. "If I … die … My kung fu … Cough … will really be lost. That's fine, that's fine … Cough, life … Won't bring …" Speaking up to this point, Zhang Ye suddenly raised his voice and shouted the last sentence in a voice so hoarse that it was almost inaudible, "Won't bring death … Hahahaha!!"
The last burst of laughter before death!
The last insolence of life!
The second male lead, Tian Xuetao, could not help but be moved!
The other film crew members were also a little dumbfounded!
The assistant director said in a startled manner, "You memorized all of the lines?"
"That's right." Zhang Ye recovered very quickly and immediately walked out of the scene. He did not feel much about his acting skills, but he knew that the 100 plus Acting Skill Experience Books were not wasted. The effects were much better than he had expected. "I've memorized all of them. Didn't I read the script just now?"
The martial arts director beside him said nervously, "You can memorize the script just by reading it once?"
Everyone remembered that Zhang Ye had only been in the studio for a short while. Ten minutes? That was only enough for him to read the script once! He memorized it with just a glance?
Zhang Ye said matter-of-factly, "That's for sure. It's not some complicated lines, so what's there to not memorize?" He answered a little impatiently. Zhang Ye felt that they were looking down on him and insulting his professionalism. If I can't memorize those fucking lines after reading it once, how can I still be a host! Do you guys really take me as a normal actor? This bro is a professional host who dares to go on a live broadcast without a script! If I didn't have this little bit of talent, why would I need to do such a thing! You guys are asking such a lowly question.
Director Wang Chengpeng asked a high-level question. He stared at Zhang Ye and said, "Why did you think of shouting and laughing at the end? That wasn't in the script, right? "
Zhang Ye said, "A martial arts fanatic, an ambitious man of his generation, even though he suffered the consequences of his own actions and was on the verge of death, I don't think it fits the overall character image of him. I write novels, and to put it bluntly, my books are selling quite well in China. That's why I'm more sensitive to the structure and setting of the characters, and I also have some experience with it. In my opinion, a person can't be so quiet at the end of his life. He can't be that sorrowful. There has to be some movement left behind, like laughter, or a final bit of insolence!"
He writes novels?
That's right, this fellow was also a famous author!
This fellow had too many titles. If he didn't mention them, no one would have thought of them.
The scriptwriter was also sitting at the back. When he heard that, he said, "Now that Teacher Zhang has said it, indeed, if Teacher Zhang had acted according to his earlier performance, it would have been much better. It was much more perfect than Brother Shui's. It's a consolidation of the character and a sublimation of the character's portrayal. It also pointed out the main point. This movie is Grandmasters. Not only is the male lead a grandmaster, even the female lead is a grandmaster. This villain who suffered the consequences of his own actions … is also a grandmaster. It's just that they took a different path."
The assistant director also nodded. "It was a very good performance. It felt very good!"
Zhang Ye's audition for the role had once again shocked the entire audience!
That expression …
That acting …
That understanding of the character in the movie …
F * * k!
The other actors and the two celebrities who came for the audition couldn't help but scream in their hearts. Compared to us, why does it feel like you're the fucking professional actor!!
