Chapter 567 Zhang Ziying
Xia's side."Young Master Puyun!"Now who cares about face and dignity, scrambling to beg for mercy at the feet of Puyun Gu Xia."Please... please forgive me... I was just drunk and lost my mind for a mo...Dialogue is a great test of an actor's skill, so Gu Ke Yu memorized the lines for these scenes until they flowed effortlessly from her lips, as if she had said them before. Every line was carefully considered in terms of tone and pace.
This drama tells the story of an orphan girl named Jin Yuan. By chance, she is adopted and sent to the palace. Within the deep palace walls, she relies on her intelligence, beauty, and wit to compete with other women, ultimately becoming an empress. In the end, she even engages in a power struggle with the emperor.
The production of "Jade Dynasty" was a high-budget, high-standard project. Every actor who auditioned was very careful and serious, not daring to be slack in any way. They all came with the hope of landing a role.
Gu Ke'yu understood that auditions also required a certain state of mind. She was patiently waiting and slowly adjusting herself now.
Overall, this audition was divided into three parts. From the naivete of entering the palace to the hard work in the middle, transforming into a final stage where she loves and kills the emperor.
She also didn't know how Xiao Tang had gotten this role, because looking at the actresses who came for the audition today, they were all the so-called powerful actors in the audience. Young actors generally started acting from a young age, and everyone was very talented.
Gu Ke Yu had a hint of nervousness in his heart, but he still kept his composure. If he could win a role, his reputation in the circle would undoubtedly improve significantly.
When it was Gu Ke's turn for the screen test, she finally understood what was going on. Although this drama had been poured over with many people's minds and energy, there was only one investor behind it.
Lu Jiayan was sitting right next to the director. He wasn't surprised to see Gu Keyu come for the audition, instead, he even smiled at her.
Gu Ke Yu's heart skipped a beat. This must be Lu Ji Yan giving her a back door, otherwise with her current level, she wouldn't have the opportunity to come here for an audition.
The Legend of Fei is a fantastic drama, and precisely because it's so good, it easily attracts public attention. If one were to receive such a press release out of the blue, it would be incredibly eye-catching. Without solid evidence of its quality, it would be very easy to be criticized or attacked by detractors.
She is now completely preoccupied with this matter and is very worried about it.
The director's sudden voice pulled her back to reality.
"Gu Ke Yu, are you ready The game has begun."
Before the start, Gu Ke Yu also glanced at the expressions of the director and producers present. Actually, it seemed like no one had high hopes for her, except Lu Ji Yan, who looked very serious throughout.
Gu Ke Yu also understood this situation very well. Everyone disliked airdropped players, especially a pure newbie like her who walked in through the back door. Of course, they wouldn't be fond of her.
Gu Ke Yu adjusted his state, taking a deep breath.
This segment portrays the pure-hearted maiden, Jin Yuan, upon her first entry into the palace. She is innocent and naive, with a hint of fear mixed with longing for this new life.
The entire performance caught the directors' attention. They didn't expect someone who had just barged in to have such talent.
Looking at their shocked faces, Gu Ke'yu let out a long sigh of relief. He hadn't embarrassed the big boss after all.
"This is decent."
The nearby producer watched the performance, then glanced at the director and hesitantly uttered this praise.
The director of is a renowned director, a well-known master filmmaker in China, named Du Ysheng.
I heard that this director is top-notch in terms of professionalism, but he's also very strict, even stricter than Wang Qipeng. As the saying goes, "a harsh teacher produces a superior student."
If one action doesn't meet his standards, he makes you keep shooting until it meets his requirements.
“Now, her age is not much different from when Jin Yuan entered the palace. She's not particularly stunning.”
Du Yasheng was very bland, with no expression at all.
The director's intention is that this performance is what an actor of this age group should be like, it is not an extraordinary display.
It was precisely because the director was present that even if others had opinions, they were less inclined to express them due to this reason. Even if they thought Gu Keyu acted well, they didn't dare speak up.
Because of this sentence, Gu Ke Yu was also a little embarrassed, after all, she had actually experienced so much, and her acting skills were still evaluated by the director in this way. She felt a little awkward too.
Instead, this awkwardness is just a moment. Afterward, you have to steel yourself and face the next two performances, for they are the key to today's audition.
The second segment mainly portrays Jinyuan's growth after several years of life. She has learned a lot about the warmth and coldness of human relationships and how to interact with people. Although she understands humility and deference, it doesn't mean she is weak or incapable.
Even without towering over others, one possesses their own backbone and will not be trampled upon easily.
This section is still quite difficult, as it marks the beginning of Jinyuan's transition. It's the start of his personal growth, so he can't be portrayed as too naive and inexperienced, nor too worldly-wise and ruthless.
However, in her previous life Gu Ke Yu had seen this TV series. The actor's performance was very helpful to her and she learned a lot about it. Integrating her own ideas, her second segment's performance became much more vivid, showcasing the depth of the character Jin Yuan just right.
Once he let go, everything went very smoothly, Gu Ke Yu completed it well.
The director signaled to stop. After finishing his performance, Gu Kuyu finally let out a long breath and put his heart back in his stomach.
After this segment's performance, even Du Yisheng's initially calm expression began to loosen. There was a hint of shock in his eyes, but also a touch of joy.
Just now, all the producers who were attracted by the first act are now conquered by the second act. Now everyone's expressions are what make Gu Ke Yu feel a little happy, her efforts haven't been in vain.
Gu Ke Yu's acting skills are not bad, but because the original company in his previous life didn't care about an actor's self-improvement and learning, only knowing how to rush through appointments, Gu Ke Yu never had the opportunity or time to settle down and ponder his acting. Later, he kept relying on his past achievements without making breakthroughs.
Most importantly, the original company's positioning of her was inaccurate. They consistently viewed Gu Ke Yu as just a vase without any acting skills, so she had been held back all along and no roles that required acting found their way to her. Gradually, her acting style became solidified, making it very difficult to change.
Although Gu Ke'yu has only acted in one play in this life, she has been meticulously pondering and exploring its meaning for such a long time. It is not simply about acting it out, but about putting her heart into feeling the bittersweet pains of the character.
After spending time and effort, coupled with Gu Keyu's own talent as an actress who wasn't afraid to act, she quickly saw a significant improvement. Actors need to learn and continue learning in order to improve themselves.
Although Lu Jiayan knocked on the door this time, the road ahead was paved by Gu Ke'yu herself. She also cleared her name.
Everything is not over yet, the tryouts are still going on. so arrogant because she relied on her brother, Ouyang Chu.Zhuo Yunxin despised those women who became arrogant after being taken care of by men. Unlike Xu Zui'ning, she was a true noblewoman.At this...
