Chapter 160 Today's audition starts with me
The next morning, in the conference room!

Actors in Beijing including Peng Mo, Shen Teng, Mary, Wang Zhi, Song Yang, Ai Lun, and Chang Yuan have already arrived at the crew.

When Shen Lang and Gu Jialan arrived at the conference room, Peng Mo and a group of actors stood up to welcome them, "Mr. Gu and Mr. Shen, I'm sure you are all familiar with them! You two are the creators of the script for this film!"

Everyone came forward one by one to greet Shen Lang and the others.

Wang Zhi is a big-eyed beauty in her twenties. Her eyes are extremely lively and she has a [pitiful] BUFF when she looks at people.

"Teacher Shen, the boss always says in the company that you are a role model for all the actors in our company. He says that you are not picky about roles, and you work hard without complaint. You are a role model among the older generation of artists..."

"Cough cough cough..." Gu Jialan coughed violently!
Shen Lang asked with a dark face: "Have I been classified as an older generation of artists?"

Gu Jialan pretended to be calm and said, "You are forty, and the girl is only twenty. If you are not an artist of the older generation, who is?"

Hey! How bold! You may have never seen such a fierce artist of the older generation. I will definitely find a chance to let you experience it deeply in the future!
At this time, Chang Yuan came forward and shook hands with Shen Lang and said, "Teacher Shen, I really like watching your movies!"

Peng Mo introduced: "Chang Yuan is the grandson of our older generation artist Chang Baohua!"

Well, why does it sound so awkward?

Shen Lang shook hands with everyone one by one and then sat down.

As usual, the scripts were distributed first. Peng Mo said, "Everyone, although you are all actors invited by us, we still have to try out the play, including the main actors. Don't think that the roles are set in stone just because you joined the crew in advance!"

Peng Mo, who was directing for the first time, was really interesting. He continued, "Don't think that you will be fine just because the investors have chosen someone! If you don't perform well or are not in good shape, I will still replace you!"

When everyone heard this, they were startled and read the script more attentively.

After Peng Mo finished speaking, he said to Shen Lang, "Brother Lang, do you have anything else to add?"

Everyone: "..."

Shen Lang nodded, glanced around, and then fixed his eyes on Mary: "Mary, in the whole film, besides the role of Charlotte, your Ma Dongmei is the most important!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked: "This Shen Lang has a great reputation, but his level is just so-so."

"As the hero and heroine of the movie, she must be important!"

However, although everyone thought so in their hearts, they did not show it on their faces.

After all, he is a big name. Except for Shen Teng and Gu Jialan, the others present are all small-time celebrities. Moreover, he is the deputy director and screenwriter of the crew. Who dares to show off?

Shen Lang naturally didn't know what everyone was thinking, he was still talking to himself:

"Mary, you were the first to come into contact with the script. How did you analyze this character?"

"Ah?" Mary obviously didn't expect Shen Lang to ask a question.

After thinking for a while, she expressed her thoughts: "The character of Ma Dongmei walks like she's riding a pig and speaks like she's firing a cannon. She has a bit of a boyish temperament..."

Well, it can be seen that Mary did read the script, but not deeply enough.

Shen Lang said: "Mary, the whole play is actually a dream of Charlotte. Have you ever thought that the fate of everyone in the whole play has changed after Charlotte's travel through time!"

"Charlotte becomes a big star, Qiuya becomes Mrs. Luo, and Mengte becomes Montagut..."

"But the only one who remains unchanged is Ma Dongmei!"

When everyone heard this, they put away their disdain for Shen Lang and began to listen carefully to Shen Lang's analysis of the character.

Shen Lang continued: "Ma Dongmei has been ordinary and common from beginning to end. Even in Xia Luo's dream, she is real."

“What’s the theme of our movie?”

"It's about cherishing the person in front of you!" "And that person in front of you is you, Ma Dongmei!"

As soon as Shen Lang finished speaking, the sound of whispering was heard in the conference room.

"Hey, if Teacher Shen hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have noticed it!"

"It seems like this is really the case!"

"Teacher Shen has something in mind!"

……

Shen Lang continued: "So, how should I play the role of Ma Dongmei? Life is plain and simple, without flash lights, and tranquility is beauty!"

"Under the crazy appearance, Mary, you have to show the real feeling of Ma Dongmei!"

As soon as he finished speaking, applause broke out in the conference room. Peng Mo said excitedly: "Brother Lang, your analysis is so good. If you can't grasp the core of the character, how can you play this character well?"

Gu Jialan watched this man talking confidently and calmly beside Shen Lang, and thought of his invitation last night...

She found that the longer she spent with Shen Lang, the more attractive his complicated charm became.

On the one hand, he has a bit of a bad and ruffian streak, but on the other hand, he is a kind person, steady and considerate.

Looking at the way Wang Zhi stared at Shen Lang, it gave me a headache. Although he was already an old man, he was still so popular with young girls.

Isn't he a villain?

Next, Shen Lang made an in-depth analysis of everyone's roles one by one. The actors present, such as Wang Zhi, Chang Yuan, and Ai Lun, although not very famous, were at least veteran actors with stage experience.

But after listening to Shen Lang's character analysis, I couldn't help but sigh...

"Listening to Mr. Shen introduce the details of the characters, I felt like I was back in college, listening to my acting teacher's lectures!"

"Oh, now that you mention it, it's true. When we were in school, there was a professor who was really good at teaching character design, and many people went to his class!"

"The difference between Mr. Shen and him is that he is younger, more handsome, and more friendly than the professor..."

"That's right. Teacher Shen, at this age, can analyze the core personality of movie characters so well. If Teacher Shen came to our university to give lectures..."

……

"Ahem!" Peng Mo interrupted everyone's flattery in time, "Did you remember what Teacher Shen said?"

"remember!"

"Come on Peng, it's done!"

……

Peng Mo nodded with satisfaction, then turned to face Shen Lang with an even more servile look: "How do you plan to play the role of Yuan Hua, Mr. Shen?"

"Many details have not been filled in yet, and I don't know what specific shooting details should be paid attention to for this character set by Mr. Shen?"

Shen Lang smiled and said, "Yuan Hua, as the name suggests, is smooth and tactful. He is everyone's enemy and what mothers call the 'other people's child'. I'm sure everyone has encountered this kind of person in real life!"

“So, in the movie, you have to travel through time to defeat such people.”

"If we want to portray the character of Yuan Hua well, we really need to show his [excellence] in some details, and then carry out an [all-round] attack!"

"Excellent? All-round?" Everyone looked at each other!
Shen Lang smiled and said, "It's just right. Today's audition will start with me!"
