Chapter 118:
Jian Shiwu's first impression of this role was that it was a novelty. However, after a short period of reflection, he felt that one should not judge a character from the surface, but to explore the character on a deeper level.
In this film, Zhan Ling Shen is neither the main character, nor the second lead. On the contrary, he is a supporting actor and the confidant of the male lead Yan Wang although he was born in such a place. Zhan Lingchen met Yan Wang through an accident.
When the King of Yan was in distress, Zhan Ling Shen offered his loyalty in the name of righteousness, and in the end, he even gave his life in order to obtain information that would be beneficial to Yan. With such a daring move for love, such a temperament, who said prostitutes were shameful! Who wouldn't be moved by it? When he saw the end, Jian Shiwu's heart was deeply shocked by Zhan Lingshen, and he was attracted by the soul of this character.
He said to Lui Heng not far away, "I'm going to audition!"
Lui Heng was stunned, not expecting him to be so resolute, so he said, "Really decided ah, then your partner ......"
Shen Cheng would definitely go crazy.
He said, "It's okay, I don't think Shen Cheng is an unreasonable person, it's my job, he'll understand."
Lui Heng stared at him in silence.
Jian Shiwu sheepishly covered his lips before saying, "Then why don't I go to the audition first and see what happens, if I can pass then I will tell him, if not then there's no need to tell him."
Lui Heng thought about it and nodded: "Yes, I heard that director Wang is really strict, we have to be prepared!"
Jian Shiwu thought about it and agreed: "Then let's put off the last few jobs we can, I want to think about the role, and by the way...you can hire an acting teacher for me, I'm afraid Director Wang won't give me a pass at my current level."
Lui Heng: "Okay!"
In fact, although the university that Jian Shiwu graduated from was not famous in China, his major was related to acting, so he was really not blind in terms of performance. After returning to China, since he has put off some notices, he was at home constantly reading the script, constantly to figure out the psychological activities of this person Zhan Ling Shen, trying to eat this person thoroughly, and accurately.
However, he was still a bit nervous until the day of the audition.
Lui Heng said, "I don’t know what kind of person the rumoured strict director is."
Jian Shiwu was also apprehensive: "I don't know either."
There were many people auditioning, but director Wang's audition is very special, other director’s auditions require one to just act, but director Wang's audition requires actors to change into costumes and makeup before auditioning, so in order to be able to play this person Zhan Ling Shen, the program team prepared clothing quite consistent with this persona.
The white robe was transparent with tulle and looked very thick, but as he walked and moved, the inside would peak out, and the good boy Jian Shiwu felt very shy. He felt he was ready to drip blood, especially when the costumer was snickering next to him: "If Teacher Jian was born in ancient times, it would be a small disaster."
Jian Shiwu begged, "Don't make fun of me."
The make-up artist pursed his lips and laughed, then really let him go.
After makeup, the person who appeared inside the mirror after the makeup artist's skilful hands, had 100% of the character’s temperament waved out, The round eyes are slender with a tail, there was a kind of seductive agility, a delicate flower was dotted on his forehead with a red veil showing only his eyes, long black hair hanging down his shoulders. Wearing a white robe, the youth stood there, an aura full of purity and lust.
Lui Heng who came in from outside even froze for a moment when he saw him, obviously they were good friends since childhood, but at this moment when he saw Jian Shiwu he was still stunned. Even though this was a dressing room, but with the white-clothed youth standing there alone, it was as if time went back.
Jian Shiwu blinked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Lui Heng came back to his senses with a start: "No, nothing."
Only then did Jian Shiwu smile slightly at him, unable to see most of his expression through the veil, those arched eyebrows and eyes were a direct hit to the heart.
Lui Heng coughed lightly and lamented, "I finally know why Director Wang chose you!"
Jian Shiwu felt comforted and had peace of mind.
The audition room was at the end of the room, in his mind he thought it may be only him and the director, but when Jian Shiwu pushed the door in, he never expected the front table to have a full row of people, sitted in the middle was the director with a baby face. Seeing him push the door in, he smiled: "Come ah."
Jian Shiwu nodded and spoke nicely, "Hello, Director Wang."
The baby face smiled adorably, "Good, good, I'm really not mistaken, you're really suitable for this costume."
This approval and praise gave Jian some reassurance, but before he could be happy, the baby face said, "Unfortunately, there's something missing."
Jian was frozen for a moment.
There were so many eyes on him all of a sudden, making him a little uncomfortable.
Director Wang pointed to the stage in front of him and said, "Today is an audition, so treat us as guests of the Wind and Rain House, and as you are now the First Beauty, the stage in front of you is the stage for your performance, let's begin."
As soon as the words begin fell, Jian Shiwu got into position, he collected himself, walked towards the stage in front, bowed to the row of people in front of him, sat down and then began to flick up the guzheng he had already prepared.
As his fingertips moved, a beautiful guzheng music reverberated through the room. He was really skilled, sitting in a dignified position, and his every move was quite graceful. When the song was finished, Jian Shiwu stood up and thanked like Zhan Ling Shen according to the script's action.
Director Wang narrowed his eyes and shook his head at Jian Shiwu: "No."
Jian Shiwu's eyes widened slightly and he looked at the director with some alarm.
Director Wang waved his hand at him, "You can't, go back."
The director was so direct, Jian Shiwu noe felt the harshness of this director, before he wouldn’t dared to ask why, but he did like the role of Zhan Ling Shen very much, so he got the courage and confidence all of a sudden and Jian Shiwu blurted out: "Why?"
Director Wang was stunned and looked at him with some surprise.
Jian Shiwu paused before speaking, "I mean, if there's something I didn't do well, you can say it, I can change it, I really like this role, please give me another chance, audition for other scenes too, I can recite all the lines and bridges, I..."
But Director Wang said, "No need to audition for anything else, you can't."
Jian Shiwu choked and stood in disbelief.
Perhaps it was because he was so devastated, or perhaps it was because Jian’s appearance was of a more suitable type, that the assistant director next to him gently persuaded him, and only then did the baby face move a little.
Director Wang stepped down from his seat, walked up to Jian Shiwu and said, "You can't do it because you don't look like a famous musician, but more like a serious musician."
Jian Shiwu was slightly flabbergasted.
"Do you understand the style?" Wang's voice was soft and brittle, but he was not ashamed to say: "You give people the impression that you are too upright, too clean, in fact your appearance gives you a lot of points, at first glance there is still a bit of that, otherwise I would have let you out as soon as you entered the door."
Jian was inexplicably a little red in the face.
He even stammered a little: "What style?"
Wang finally laughed at his simple little face and said, "To put it bluntly, that means seducing men, understand?"
!
Jian’s head was about to explode.
Wang said to him meaningfully: "I can give you a chance, but I only give you three days, you go learn how to seduce a man, a look, a movement that can make a man lustful, for example, find a person whom in the eyes of others can not be moved and practise, or go to find information, whatever. "
Jian Shiwu was shocked.
Director Wang paused, as if he was afraid he would cheat, and added: "By the way, you put this costume of yours back on, and wear it to get a feel for it when you're in practice, understand?"
"......"
Jian Shiwu knew that he should have been happy when he heard director Wang say that he was willing to give himself a chance, but this chance that director Wang gave was too difficult to get, who was he going to go and practice with!
