"No, no! He can't do it! "
"Director Chen, why can't he do it? Our Yanliang spent a lot of effort to observe the countryside for this movie. He suffered a lot! Please give him some advice. Maybe he can act it out? "
"It's useless to give him advice! There's only one weakness: acting! Do you understand? He acted like a ruffian and acted like a peasant, but his heart was filled with resistance. What kind of Xu Sanduo we want? From his appearance to his bones, he has to have the inferiority of a poor village child. This is created by the environment and can't be erased! So, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he's acting. He's too pretentious. There's no saving him! "
Chen Fengchen sent away another actor who had followed his manager to the audition. Then, he vented his suppressed anger on his assistant and the rest of the crew.
"What kind of actor is this?"
"Where did they come from?"
"And they acted like shit. Why did they let you do the screening first?"
"Did they get paid? Huh? "
This furious scolding caused the people below to keep quiet out of fear. They didn't even dare to breathe out loud.
Actually, it wasn't entirely because of the actor. Chen Fengchen was furious because he had to juggle the post-production of "Great Chu's Palace" and the crew of "Soldiers' Assault." He was frustrated because he couldn't find the Xu Sanduo in his heart.
Other roles were fine, but if he couldn't find Xu Sanduo, he could forget about filming this movie!
Chen Fengchen thought of his backup plan. "Where did Xiao Ruan go? Why hasn't there been any news from the self-recommendation videos of the new actors that I asked him to review for more than a week? "
Assistant Ruan didn't slack off before, but he didn't dare to be too diligent. He was afraid that if he took out the selected videos, he would be scolded by the nitpicky Chen Fengchen again. But now, even if he was unlucky, he could only bite the bullet and run over with his computer. "I'm here, Director Chen. I saw that you were quite busy before …"
Without further ado, Chen Fengchen waved his hand and shooed Assistant Ruan away. Then, he clicked on the selected audition videos one by one. Although he was old, these high-tech products were no worse than the young people!
The more he read, the darker Chen Fengchen's face became.
If the actors that had been recommended by management companies and acting companies were pretending to be farmers, then in Assistant Ruan's videos, 60 to 70 percent of them were farmers pretending to be actors!
It was obvious that they were afraid of his anger, so he went to find some real farmers to "recommend themselves"! This farmer's rustic nature was shown, but his acting skills were really unsightly!
Chen Fengchen had walked more roads than he had eaten rice. How could Chen Fengchen not see through Assistant Ruan's thoughts?
However, I'll scold him after I finish reading it! Chen Fengchen held back his anger and diligently clicked on the videos one by one. When he was almost at the end, he saw a caption that said, "Actor Geng Sha, audition for Act 9, Section 7."
Geng Sha, this name was rather unique. Chen Fengchen took a second glance before clicking on it.
A dim-witted man appeared in the video. He wasn't tall and had dark skin, similar to the farmers in front of him. He shouldn't be too old. Although he wasn't as young as Xu Sanduo, he should still be an immature child from the countryside.
Someone outside the camera was reciting lines to him. "Do you want to be a soldier? Little brother. "
Chen Fengchen saw this child named Geng Sha timidly glance at the camera. He didn't know if he was acting or not, but he softly said, "Yes."
"Why?"
In the video, Geng Sha's mouth moved. He lowered his head and hesitated for a moment before saying in a very small voice, "After I become a soldier, dad won't call me son of a turtle anymore. He won't be able to kick me or hit me. I won't be able to hear what he calls me."
This Mandarin that was filled with a dialect made Chen Fengchen feel very familiar. It made him stop his action of closing the video. Chen Fengchen hesitated for a moment before deciding to continue watching.
On the computer screen, Geng Sha made a gesture of scratching his head. Originally, Chen Fengchen was very disgusted by this kind of meaningless action, but when Geng Sha raised his head, that ordinary and simple face, combined with this action, inadvertently moved his heart.
Chen Fengchen's gaze turned serious.
"I graduated from junior high school, but the teacher said that I had a solid foundation and that I was really learning. Cheng Cai graduated from senior high school, but he didn't study hard. In junior high school, he kept giving me notes. "Geng Sha seemed to be talking about his glorious past, and he slightly puffed out his chest.
This part of the script was the key plot where Xu Sanduo revealed his inner thoughts to Shi Jin. It was basically a one-man show for the main character.
"I'm not a coward. Cheng Cai and the others tried to scare me in the graveyard, but they weren't scared. Sometimes, they looked like they were scared, but they were faking it. Otherwise, they wouldn't have stopped. It's not that I didn't dare to watch the pig being slaughtered, I was … that was … that was … "Geng Sha tried his best to explain. It was just like when he was being mocked at at the film base, he clumsily tried his best to explain to others that he wasn't stupid.
In the end, because of his lack of education, he was stuck in his words. This was also Geng Sha's real experience. He completely embodied the kind of nervousness, agitation, and frustration that Xu Sanduo should have.
Chen Fengchen couldn't help but be attracted by Geng Sha's real performance. His left hand clenched into a fist.
"It's not enough. Show me more. Show me more!" Chen Fengchen called out in his heart.
In the scene, the narrator and Xu Sanduo rehearsed a few lines. Shi Jin's words made Xu Sanduo happy, so Geng Sha also revealed a smile. His smile always gave people the feeling that he didn't care about anything. His smile must have been so wide that one could almost see his gums!
"At my place, it's called Stir-Fried Pork with Old Bamboo Shoots!" Geng Sha's silly smile and silly words made people see the change in him.
Previously, when Geng Sha was showing off himself, he did show a sense of inferiority. But now, because of Shi Jin's kind words, Geng Sha seemed to have let down his guard. The thick sense of simplicity in his words made Chen Fengchen feel very comfortable.
Especially Geng Sha's smile, it made Chen Fengchen feel that this little boy wasn't actually that ugly. His heart was beautiful!
Just like Xu Sanduo!
"He's my Xu Sanduo!" This thought made Chen Fengchen jump in fright. It must be known that even if a famous celebrity came to audition for his role, Chen Fengchen would still have to test a lot of things. He definitely wouldn't make a decision with just a few glances.
But Geng Sha really did give him this feeling!
It was a little unreliable …
After all, he was a famous director. Chen Fengchen quickly calmed down.
"I want to meet this actor. I'll give you half a day to find him!" Chen Fengchen called Assistant Ruan over. The ecstasy on his face had already disappeared as he spoke in a dignified manner.
Assistant Ruan couldn't tell what was going on and didn't know what Chen Fengchen wanted to do, but he still agreed in fear. He quickly ran out to find Da Bin. "Hurry up and call Geng Sha over. I'll give you two hours! Two hours, I want to see him! "
