Chapter 43: Passing the test, the literary director is pleasantly surprised (Ch 43)

“It was a good performance, Qi Jia, can you tell me how you came up with that lip movement at the end?”

Director Wen came forward, applauded and praised, then asked curiously.

“I’m sorry, Director Wen, Mr. Chuanjun’s acting is so good that I was drawn into the role.”

Qi Jia first apologized for adding drama without permission, and then praised Wang Chuanjun.

Then he began to explain why he did this.

“I, the director, thought so because the script said that Peng Hao was a loyal but somewhat rogue gangster.

So, I think if he just walked away after being scolded by Lu Shouyi as not being a man, then his character would not be prominent enough.

But beating someone up didn’t fit the image of a thug, so I decided to do it.

The lip movements show Peng Hao’s rogue mentality of proudly provoking Lu Shouyi after he snatched the medicine.

After some explanation,

Both Director Wen and Wang Chuanjun fell into deep contemplation.

Chen Yuwen looked at Qi Jia without saying anything, but secretly gave him a thumbs up.

His eyes were full of admiration.

“Yuwen, you Jiaxing really found a treasure this time, haha!”

Understanding this, Director Wen was more and more satisfied with Qi Jia the more he looked at her, and immediately announced that Qi Jia had passed the audition.

Polite, good acting skills, and most importantly, the character’s personality label.

It is really rare to combine the environment set by the script, add drama to the characters, and make them eye-catching.

Thinking about how I have met dozens of actors who auditioned for the role of Peng Hao over the past few days,

But no one could make me feel bright like Qi Jia.

It’s not that there aren’t good actors, there were a few who satisfied me during the audition.

However, compared to Qi Jia, they only performed the image of Peng Hao.

Qi Jia’s portrayal of Peng Hao not only portrayed Peng Hao’s appearance, but also his spirit, as if he and Peng Hao were the same person.

And there is another point that also moved Director Wen.

After giving the topic, Qi Jia didn’t even need to look at the script and just shouted “start”.

What does this show?

It shows that he works hard, that he is dedicated, and that he really values ​​this audition.

Let me ask you, if I don’t work hard, don’t be dedicated, and don’t take this audition seriously,

Would he memorize the script for an uncertain opportunity?

This is really rare among young actors.

Perhaps it is only in people like Qi Jia, who started as an extra and worked his way up step by step,

It can only be seen in actors who understand the sufferings of the world and have suffered from the beatings of society.

“Thank you, Director Wen. From now on, I’ll ask you to take good care of my Qi Jia.”

Chen Yuwen happily took Qi Jia’s hand and expressed his gratitude together.

“If there is no problem, I will let the assistant director talk to you about the follow-up.”

After Director Wen finished speaking, he called the assistant director over and went to take care of other things.

In the nanny car,

The assistant director, Chen Yuwen, and Qi Jia were discussing the film’s remuneration.

According to Qi Jia’s current status, after bargaining back and forth,

Finally, the contract was signed for 60,000 yuan and ten days of work.

Qi Jia had no complaints about the price.

As a newcomer in the industry, this price is already quite good, not to mention that this is a film directed by a big director.

Moreover, compared to my friends who work outside,

His income is already beyond the peak salary of most people in their lifetime.

However, the 60,000 yuan also includes the company’s share.

According to the contract, the third-tier artists and the company split the profits 60% to 40%.

The company has six artists and four

After deducting taxes and company profits, he was left with less than 20,000 yuan.

After signing the contract,

Chen Yuwen returned to Shanghai first, and the assistant director called a staff member,

Take Qi Jia to the hotel where the crew is staying and check in first.

When everything was done, it was already past one in the afternoon.

Director Wen specifically told Qi Jia that he had no scenes today.

Let him have a good rest first, and walk around if he has nothing to do.

However, Qi Jia didn’t have much fun because he was short of money and it was only half a day.

I just visited the Ming Tombs and the popular Jinling Road on the Internet.

Then we tasted Jinling’s famous duck blood vermicelli and beef pot stickers.

The owner of the snack stand strongly recommended live pearls to him.

It is said that this thing is very nutritious, but Qi Jia still doesn’t have the courage to try it.

8pm,

After taking a shower, he was lying on the bed and wanted to read the script.

But when I searched for it, I remembered that I had lent it to Wang Chuanjun during the day and had not yet taken it back.

Just at this moment, Qi Jia received a message from Director Wen on his mobile phone, asking him to come to the hotel box right now to meet with everyone and get familiar with them.

After receiving Qi Jia’s reply, he hurried downstairs to the box.

After knocking on the door and entering, I found that there were already more than a dozen people sitting inside.

In addition to several main actors, there are also several directors.

Director Wen saw Qi Jia and asked him to find a place to sit down.

Then he started to introduce,

“Let me introduce you. This is Qi Jia, who plays Peng Hao. Let’s get to know each other.”

“Hello everyone, I am Qi Jia from Jiaxing Media. I am very happy to have the opportunity to join the crew. Please give me your guidance.”

“Qi Jia, I didn’t expect that we would meet again.”

As soon as he finished the introduction, Wang Yanhui, who played Zhang Changlin and was sitting opposite him, greeted him with a smile.

“Hello, Mr. Wang. I’m glad to have the opportunity to learn from you again.”

Qi Jia stood up and responded politely,

“Have you ever worked together before?”

I didn’t expect that the two of them actually knew each other. Director Wen was a little curious.

“Director Wen, you forgot about the crew of Nobody. I’m there too.”

Wang Yanhui explained with a smile,

“Oh, yes, yes, that’s exactly what happened.”

Director Wen patted his bald head and suddenly realized.

“Don’t underestimate Qi Jia because he’s just a newcomer. Even Director Rao and Director Zhao praised his acting skills and understanding of the script and the role.”

Wang Yanhui smiled and added,

oh?!

The crowd, who were originally uninterested, suddenly became curious about Qi Jia.

There was a little more kindness in the look he gave her.

After all, signing with Jiaxing, he could get praise from both Director Rao and Director Zhao.

That proves that this newcomer does have some ability.

“No wonder the notes on your script are so well written. After I read them, I couldn’t bear to return them to you.”

Wang Chuanjun took out Qi Jia’s script, handed it to him, and made another joke.

“Oh, can you show it to me?”

Zhou Yi was very curious, so he asked,

“Sure, Brother Zhou.” Qi Jia nodded with a smile.

Zhou Yiwei took the script, opened it and started reading.

The people around him also leaned over curiously.

I saw that the background of the story, the image of the characters, and the emotions were all described above.

As well as the lines, actions, etc., were all filled with densely written annotations in red pen.

Everyone passed the script around and looked at it for a while, and finally the script was passed to Director Wen.

He also flipped through it, skipping over the notes.

However, my attention was attracted by a non-mainstream character illustration at the back.

He frowned and looked carefully for a long time, then looked up and asked Qi Jia.

“Your painting is of Peng Hao?”

“Yes, Director Wen, I drew that randomly when I was thinking about the script.”

Qi Jia rubbed his hands and nodded somewhat embarrassedly.

“While it’s still early, why don’t you tell us what you think of this role?”

Director Wen asked,

“Yes, Qi Jia, tell everyone your opinion, I am also interested.”

Wang Chuanjun also followed suit.

“Since you teachers want to listen, I will simply share my humble opinion.”

Seeing Director Wen speak, everyone was curious.

Qi Jia was not afraid either, so he stood up, took a deep breath, and spoke.
