Chapter 122: Auditioning 2
Luo Yuzhong and Jiang Yuqian's gazes fell on Lu Yan He.
At this moment, even Jiang Yuqian was sweating for Lu Yan He.
She hadn't expected that today's audition would encounter several people giving very moving audition performances in a row.
They were not mature, but what they gave was very real and pure, without any acting components.
This was the biggest advantage of young actors, and based on her understanding of Luo Yuzhong, this was also the quality Luo Yuzhong valued most.
If Lu Yan He didn't give an audition performance comparable to the previous ones, even with her recommendation, Luo Yuzhong wouldn't necessarily choose Lu Yan He.
Everyone's attention fell on Lu Yan He.
Lu Yan He walked out.
He wasn't actually acting; he was remembering.
He had failed an exam before too.
The scenes that Yan Liang and Tu Song acted out had also happened to him.
Lu Yan He smiled and lowered his head.
What is auditioning actually testing?
Is it the role, or the person who is the actor?
Lu Yan He thought of the one time he truly failed an exam. He returned home, and his parents had already cooked dinner and were waiting for him to return.
Because he didn't dare tell them he failed, he lingered outside for a long time.
He originally thought that after returning home, he would be questioned, but one helped him take his schoolbag, and the other served him rice.
"Son, you must be hungry, eat quickly." His mother's gentle voice seemed to come across time and space, ringing in his ears again.
Lu Yan He's lips trembled slightly, trying to smile, but his eyes turned red unexpectedly.
His father walked out of the kitchen with fish soup and said with a smile: "You try this fish your dad made; it's so fresh."
Lu Yan He looked at the scene floating before his eyes; on the steaming dinner table, his father and mother's smiles were right before his eyes.
But he knew he might never be able to truly see them again.
"Dad, Mom..." Lu Yan He called out softly. He seemed to have returned to that night, with a bit of guilt, unease, and some self-blame, lowering his head, not daring to look at them. "I failed the exam this time."
"Is that all? I said you had a long face as soon as you walked in. If you fail, you fail; who hasn't failed an exam? Just try to do well next time," his father said.
Lu Yan He didn't dare look up, because if he looked up, tears would fall.
Swept by memory, he forgot what was real and what was fake.
"I will do well next time, don't worry, I will definitely get into a good university," Lu Yan He swore. "You believe me."
Lu Yan He looked up, his red eyes shining with firm light.
Only teenagers have such eyes.
What is acting actually about?
Many people have various theories to describe and distinguish it, but for the audience, acting is actually one thing: can it make me empathize, can it make me substitute myself?
Lu Yan He's performance was very similar to Yan Liang's, but Lu Yan He performed one level more than Yan Liang, having a change in state before and after.
Jiang Yuqian breathed a sigh of relief and was also surprised that Lu Yan He could give such a performance.
She knew that Lu Yan He had never learned any acting.
Being able to act with such a sense of proportion in this situation was completely a talent.
He didn't shed tears, but his red eyes were more infectious than shedding tears directly.
He had a kind of empathy ability that could reach the heart.
And just when she thought Lu Yan He's performance was over, Lu Yan He turned around again.
He walked two steps forward and stopped.
He looked back, staring blankly behind him, with a bit of bewilderment and a bit of reminiscence. His eyes seemed to cross a time and space, looking at a point in the void, and asked softly: "Dad, Mom, I'm doing very well now, do you see it?"
I don't know when, but the whole venue was silent, leaving only his soft voice.
Vice President Ma sat in his seat, not coming back to his senses for a long time.
Although he was not an actor and didn't understand professional acting, he could see who of these five people acted the best.
Of course, the five people each had their own strengths, but the final Lu Yan He, with that god-like ending, suddenly raised his short audition performance to a level.
A short sentence actually pulled out a sense of distance in time and space.
Drama and performance are actually testing where the softest part of a person's heart is.
And regret is often the most sour emotion in the depths of the human heart.
Good actors, a line of dialogue, a look, can destroy and poke that place, making you want to shed tears for no reason.
Lu Yan He didn't understand this technique, but he was completely based on his true feelings and brought out such a performance.
Thus, his regret of looking at each other across time and space and never being able to see each other again was integrated into his performance in this way, moving everyone at the scene.
The scene was silent for several seconds, and Luo Yuzhong took the lead in applauding.
Once he applauded, the scene started to applaud.
Lu Yan He came back to his senses, still not quite out of the emotion just now.
He heard Luo Yuzhong say in a trance: "This group brought me many surprises."
Jiang Yuqian, who was sitting beside him, also laughed.
She was already beautiful, and this smile was like spring arriving and flowers blooming.
She also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Lu Yan He's performance must have moved Luo Yuzhong.
As the person who recommended Lu Yan He, if Lu Yan He didn't perform well, she would lose face too.
She looked at Luo Yuzhong and asked with a smile: "Director, is our company still quite hidden?"
Luo Yuzhong pondered for a moment, but said: "To be honest, this afternoon, until now, including the few just now, I am not particularly satisfied, because I haven't seen an actor with true professional quality."
As soon as Luo Yuzhong's words came out, the atmosphere at the scene, which was a bit excited because of the performance just now, froze instantly.
Not satisfied?!
Everyone was stunned.
But the next moment, Luo Yuzhong said again: "However, the few young people in this group just now, although I can't call you actors yet, you haven't truly entered the door in acting, but undoubtedly, you all have the talent and conditions to become actors. You few, image, comprehension of performance, and capture of emotion are all the best among your peers, each with their own characteristics. I hope you can truly love acting, exercise your acting skills, and become a true actor in the future."
At this moment, joy and excitement rushed from the soles of Yan Liang's feet.
He never thought that one day he would receive such a high evaluation from Director Luo Yuzhong.
Zhou Ping'an's eyes also shone with brilliance.
Today, not only were others taken aback, but even he, the agent, was taken aback.
He never thought that the acting talent of these artists he managed could get such a high evaluation from Luo Yuzhong.
In fact, their audition performance also shocked him.
His brain was already running rapidly, planning to add acting to the subsequent development of these few people and make it one of the main development items to work hard on.
At this time, Luo Yuzhong said again: "Actually, when young actors act, the best state is to invest with true feelings and then express them with true feelings, because you don't have such precise control, and you won't be lucky enough to meet a director who has the ability to help you control it every time. Only by investing yourself can you truly understand the role and move the audience. Similarly, not every actor needs to use the same way of acting. Li Zhibai's look, at first, was not the type I wanted to find, but his temperament is also very unique. As soon as I saw him, I thought of another role in the drama suitable for him to play." ===== CHAPTER 123 =====
