In the director''s room, Zhang Dongjie sat back in a chair with a frown, and two people sat on both sides of him, one left and one right.
Jia Xiaotong''s audition just now gave them a good feeling, but Zhang Dongjie always felt that there were some shortcomings.
Normally speaking, a supporting role in a film is just a supporting role. Even if his film is a real world-class production with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, if Jia Xiaotong is selected as a supporting role, Jia Xiaotong will definitely meet the standard in terms of acting skills and fame.
Ten years ago, when Jia Xiaotong was the most popular, he wouldn''t want to audition for a supporting actor at all.
Even if it''s a hero, Jia Xiaotong has to pick a book and look at his salary. Without enough attraction, it''s impossible to attract Jia Xiaotong to play.
Even ten years later, Jia Xiaotong has passed, but he is also a famous star. At present, he is still barely enough to reach the second line.
So no matter how you look at it, it seems that the supporting role is no problem for Jia Xiaotong.
But Zhang Dongjie just couldn''t make up his mind. When Jia Xiaotong just auditioned, the temperament he deduced is not small behind the perfect picture he imagined.
Although this is only a supporting role, the play is much less than the male and female protagonists, it is an important clue throughout the whole film!
As long as the supporting role is well performed, it may even be more brilliant than the male host!
So Zhang Dongjie really doesn''t want to be perfunctory. He just finds something similar and determines it directly.
If he can achieve the perfect state he imagined, Zhang Dongjie is very sure that this supporting role will become the finishing touch of the whole film and sublimate the whole film to another realm!
"Hey... How can it be so difficult to make a perfect film that fully conforms to the idea..."
Zhang Dongjie sighed and said helplessly.
"Director Zhang, this means that you have too high requirements for the film. Every actor and every picture are extremely demanding. Otherwise, if you change another director, I''m afraid you''ll make a bad film casually, you''ll say it''s your own sincere work."
The middle-aged man sitting on the left said with a smile.
"I think Jia Xiaotong is pretty good. The scenes just auditioned basically show the psychological state that the role should have. In the end, it is an old drama bone who has been employed for 30 years. Although he has always been famous for playing, his minimum acting skills are still online."
The middle-aged woman sitting on the right said.
"Well, the performance is OK, but his agent requires too much. The standard of clothing, food, housing and transportation must be consistent with that of men and women. We need to provide a special RV, and he has to take more than a dozen entourages such as his makeup artist and assistant, all of which should be borne by the drama team."
"Although we are a real big production this time, the funds mainly have to be spent on the production of films. Otherwise, the hostess won''t choose Xiaodi. Xiaodi''s acting skills are useless, but she hasn''t acted in a real film after all. Choosing Xiaodi as the hostess is the most important thing, except that Xiaodi''s acting skills also meet director Zhang''s requirements."
The middle-aged man answered.
"I think Jia Xiaotong can continue to talk about his treatment. This is not when he was popular ten years ago. Compared with his current coffee position, these requirements are a little too much."
The middle-aged woman frowned when she mentioned the conditions of Jia Xiaotong''s agent.
"It''s hard to say, and Jia Xiaotong''s agent is not easy to get along with at first sight. When Jia Xiaotong enters the crew, what moths will appear at that time, and we will lose."
The middle-aged man seems to be quite unpopular with Jia Xiaotong and his agent.
"OK, let''s not talk about Jia Xiaotong. Xiaodi doesn''t recommend a person. Is it Jiang Fan? It seems that he just won the gold medal in the national games not long ago? He also broke the world record? Wait until Jiang Fan auditions and see the results."
Zhang Dongjie waved his hand and said.
"I always feel choked. Although director Zhang and director Cheng came to see the long lens, Jiang Fan did perform amazing enough in it. But the long lens only showed Jiang Fan''s skill in the end. Jiang Fan didn''t play any acting skills in it."
The middle-aged man shook his head and then said, "if we only play handsome and cool, I will support Jiang Fan 200%. He is really good at martial arts. He is handsome enough. No one in the whole entertainment circle can match him for the little fresh meat famous for being handsome. But the problem is... Our role needs acting skills."
"Although there are not many lenses, every lens that needs to show the inner play is a key node in the film. In a sense, the importance of this supporting role is not under the protagonist. If he doesn''t have acting skills and messes up the role, isn''t it our film?"
The middle-aged woman also nodded and agreed: "it''s such a truth, but when Jiang Fan auditions for a while, he can teach as long as he shows that he really can act. It doesn''t matter if he is worse than Jia Xiaotong."
"Director Zhang has a unique ability to train actors. Of course, if he is really much worse than Jia Xiaotong, that''s OK. We can''t make the quality of the film worse in order to save money. No matter how many problems Jia Xiaotong has, as long as he can make a good film, he can stand it."
Listening to the words discussed between the middle-aged woman and the middle-aged man, Zhang Dongjie sighed again and said helplessly, "but I always feel that Jia Xiaotong can''t meet my requirements. I''m afraid that when the money is spent, Jia Xiaotong will find it, and the shooting effect is still not good."
"This film is going to hit Hollywood and Oscar. It can''t be careless. All links must be improved. So... Let''s see the performance of Jiang Fan first. I think Xiaodi won''t be too bad for him."
"Then let him in and start the audition?"
The middle-aged woman asked.
"Wait a minute, Xiao Le, change a book. In Jia Xiaotong''s book before, it was mainly for him to show a few fighting airs. There were only a few scenes of inner play. Just look at the feeling. But this Jiang Fan... His skill doesn''t need to be seen. The previous long shot is enough."
"So change the scenes in the book into the characters'' personal settings and inner scenes. Let''s focus on what Jiang fan can do in this. As sister Lin said, as long as Jiang Fan has acting skills, even if his acting skills are worse, I want to choose him. It''s a big deal to teach him on the spot when filming."
Zhang Dongjie said.
"Yes, director Zhang, I''ll prepare now."
