Interview (end) (Collect and recommend!!!!)
Tense, anxious, apprehensive.
Although Liu Yifei appears calm on the surface, she is always drumming in her heart, considering whether she can do a good job.
She was comforting herself that she could do it, but at the same time denying herself, feeling that she had no acting experience and would find it difficult to play the role. Her mind was constantly racing with thoughts, her clenched palms were also full of sweat, especially when people around her kept glancing at her from time to time, making her even more uneasy.
She didn't even sit down on the chair, but stood all the time, fearing that her clothes would wrinkle a little and affect others' impression of herself.
"Xianxian, have a drink and don't be nervous. You're just here to go through the motions, Director Ye recommended you, what's there to worry about?" Liu Mama was also standing beside her daughter at this moment, seeing the fine sweat beads on her face, she gently wiped them away with a towel while comforting her, then took out a bottle of homemade healthy drink from her bag and handed it over after twisting off the cap.
"Mom, don't worry, I'll be fine." Liu Yifei took over the drink and took a sip, feeling that her somewhat dry throat was moistened a lot, only then did she say seriously.
As for his mother's words, Liu Yifei actually didn't agree with them in her heart.
She didn't want outsiders to think that she entered the crew relying on Ye Sumang's relationship, she wanted to get others' recognition and felt that it was her own excellence that earned this role.
"That's good..." Liu Mama didn't know her daughter's thoughts, but seeing the calmness in Liu Yifei's eyes, she also felt at ease.
"Is Liu Yifei here? Please come in for an interview."
The staff soon called out Liu Yifei's name, and Liu's mother quickly helped her daughter adjust the collar of her clothes until she nodded in satisfaction before letting go. Liu Yifei took a deep breath, and under her mother's encouraging gaze, slowly exhaled before stepping across the threshold.
"Hello, I'm Liu Yifei, 14 and a half years old, here to audition for the role of 'Zhao Ling'er'."
As she walked into the interview hall, the empty and quiet scene unintentionally brought a lot of pressure to Liu Yifei. Looking at the three people sitting in front of her, Liu Yifei suppressed the unease in her heart and made a self-introduction in the way she had practiced many times before.
"Hmm? Su Mang, this is that girl, indeed not bad." The first time seeing Liu Yi Fei in person, Yao Zhuang Xian nodded his head in satisfaction.
The girl was wearing a white lace-trimmed dress with a pink waistband, beige small leather shoes, and had even curled her long black hair slightly, looking more mature than her actual age, like a big kid of sixteen or seventeen. Moreover, standing in the center of the scene, she stood up straight with good manners, giving people a very good impression at first glance.
Cai Yinan on the side also looked at Liu Yifei with an appreciative gaze, this kid was at least a perfect score in appearance.
"Since we're interviewing Zhao Ling'er, let's analyze her character traits for us." Ye Su Mang asked with a smile, while secretly winking at the girl.
Although Ye Sumang may not be able to teach the girl much in terms of acting, she is exceptionally skilled at role analysis. The script given to Liu Yifei contains detailed story and character analysis, and as long as Liu Yifei reads it carefully, this problem can basically be solved with a 90% success rate.
As expected, after hearing Ye Sumang's question, Liu Yifei was taken aback for a moment, and when she saw Ye Sumang's eyes, the corners of her mouth also secretly hung up with an almost imperceptible smile.
"Ling is a gentle yet resolute, knowledgeable and polite girl who is good at understanding others. She is pure and unworldly, calm with a hint of vitality, kind and tolerant but won't blindly forgive evil people..."
Liu Yifei spoke fluently, obviously she had carefully reviewed the materials provided by Ye Sumang, otherwise it would not have been possible to express herself so clearly. Watching the girl chatting in the field, Ye Sumang also nodded her head in approval.
Liu Yifei's gaze had been on Ye Sumang all along, and at this moment, seeing him reveal a smile of appreciation, Liu Yifei felt that he had more energy in his body, and his voice unconsciously rose by a notch.
Soon, a brilliant character analysis came to an end, and Liu Yifei stood in the center of the stage, looking forward expectantly at the three people opposite her, waiting for their evaluation.
"Analysis is not bad, looks like you've worked hard." Cai Yinnong looked at Liu Yifei with some surprise and then suspiciously glanced at Ye Sumang beside her, feeling that this little girl actually had such a deep understanding of the role, which was really fishy.
On the other hand, Yao Zhuangxian had already smiled with narrowed eyes and was nodding in satisfaction.
"Liu Yifei..." Cai Yinnong hesitated for a moment, his eyes staring straight into the girl's eyes, the pencil in his hand moving up and down, tapping on the desktop.
She was hesitant, and also thinking about this role. It's almost certain that whoever plays this role will be popular, and very popular. So Cai Yinan didn't want her artist to give up on this opportunity, but Liu Yifei's image was so suitable for the role, which made her really torn.
Tap... tap... tap, the sound of the pencil on the desk surface echoed one after another, and Liu Yifei's heartbeat seemed to jump with this rhythm, and the relaxed feeling suddenly became tense again.
"Cai Jie, what's on your mind? Ask away." Ye Su Mang lowered her eyelids and interrupted the rhythm of Cai Yi Nong's hands.
Liu Yifei finally let out a gentle sigh of relief.
Cai Yinan also realized that she was a bit distracted, and apologetically smiled at Liu Yifei, proposing a performance topic.
"Then let's perform a sad play for us, it's the ashes of grandma that fell, you cried and grabbed that part, now take a closer look, start in five minutes."
The reason why Cai Yinan brought up this topic is to test Liu Yifei's acting skills. After all, acting skills are the foundation of an actor. Now, Cai Yinan has to make a final decision for herself. If Liu Yifei's acting skills meet the requirements, she will be willing to give up the role for the sake of the drama. But if Liu Yifei's acting skills are not up to par, Cai Yinan won't show mercy, and Ye Sumang won't have any chips to oppose it either.
However, Liu Yifei was surprised to hear Cai Yinnong's request and secretly glanced at Ye Sumang.
Because of this play, Ye Sumang had actually helped her prepare it long ago, and even rehearsed countless times. She was very suspicious at the time, but now it seems that if she didn't know that Cai Yinan had also recommended another actor to compete with herself, Liu Yifei would have thought that the three of them were cheating together!
When Cai Yinan asked this question, Ye Sumang's mouth also hung a knowing smile. The character Ling'er is usually youthful and lively, cheerful and lively, which is not difficult to perform for a 14 or 15-year-old girl. What can really test one's acting skills is the emotional explosion scene. In this regard, the recent drama is Ling'er and Xiao Yao crying and grabbing grandma's ashes, then sprinkling them towards the sky.
Ye Su Mang didn't know what Cai Yi Nong would test in the end, but he could go guess and analyze layer by layer, finally locking down this scene for Liu Yi Fei and conducting a fill-in-the-blank style training.
It's time to test the results now.
Ye Sumang stood up from the interview seat and ignored Liu Yifei's slightly surprised gaze, walking calmly to one side to prepare for a scene with Liu Yifei.
As Ye Su Mang softly recited her lines, the bitter practice of the past few days once again emerged in Liu Yi Fei's mind like an instinct.
Liu Yifei's acting was a bit green, but countless rehearsals made her body and emotions deeply remember how to perform this play. The heart-wrenching crying voice, the desperate eyes, and finally, with tears in her eyes, she smiled as she sent Grandma's ashes into the sky. This performance even left Cai Yunnan and Yao Zhuoxian with their mouths agape in surprise.
"Seriously, she's amazing..." Cai Yiren's pencil fell to the ground without her noticing, and she just kept muttering to herself, even accidentally speaking in Shanghainese. The girl's acting skills had really shocked her, especially since her profile showed that she had no prior acting experience.
On the side, Yao Zhuangxian stared at Liu Yifei with equally fervent eyes, excitedly pounding the table and saying: "Zhao Ling'er is you!"
"Thank you, teacher!" Receiving such praise, the girl blushed and lowered her head, but her joy was beyond words.
Ye Su Mang also applauded, this time Liu Yi Fei's performance was indeed very good, even better than usual practice, he was also moved by the girl's emotional performance.
When she heard Ye Sumang's applause, the girl glanced at him with her eyes and secretly stuck out her tongue at him, making a face.
Ye Sumang secretly raised an eyebrow and responded with a cute ghost face.
"Congratulations, bring the broker over tomorrow to discuss the contract." Cai Yinnuo had just come back to her senses and didn't notice the small movements of the two people, otherwise she would have definitely sensed something fishy.
Cai Yinan sincerely extended an invitation to Liu Yifei. The girl's appearance, age, temperament and 'acting skills' are all very consistent with the role, and she really can't find a reason to refuse.
