Chapter 977 Proposal
This is the reality of Hollywood.
Although Gerald was disappointed, his emotions were under control.
Instead, he was looking forward to the audition performance for a while. When Jiang Tang had a good chat with a senior executive who was optimistic about her, he suddenly interrupted them and reminded them that the time was almost over.
The person who chatted with Jiang Tang was a senior female executive who looked gentle and kind-hearted. In fact, from the conversation, you can see the toughness wrapped in her gentle coat. The conversation was quite connotative. When chatting with Jiang Tang, she expressed her love for Chinese culture from time to time. The meaning of trying to get closer to Jiang Tang was very obvious.
Jiang Tang did not refuse, and then the senior executive talked with her very prone. Even if Gerald interrupted and reminded the audition to start immediately, he did not dispel their interest in chatting. Instead, he walked into the audition room with a smile while walking.
Compared to Jiang Tang who was having a good chat with the senior executives, Zhao Yan was much more restrained. Even though Gerald kept pushing her to the producer, she didn't say much, and Gerald glared at her several times in awe.
Today's audition was called an audition, but the atmosphere was actually not serious. It was not like the common examination room environment. The actors called numbers to perform in turn, but it was like a friendly gathering between crew members.
Even Gerald, who is so contemptuous and hostile to Jiang Tang, would not have acted against Jiang Tang in front of so many senior executives. In terms of disguise and acting skills, his performance is not inferior to that of professional actors, which makes Jiang Tang laugh secretly.
In such a "happy" atmosphere, everyone sat down in the audition room.
The audition room is a small lecture hall with a stage for performance in front and the seats below are spread out in a fan-shaped shape.
But neither Jiang Tang nor Zhao Yan were in a hurry to come to the stage, but sat with others and talked.
During the conversation, it is inevitable that the change of this audition will be discussed.
The vice president of Water Pictures, who has the highest position here, said to Jiang Tang apologetically:
"Jiang, you also know that our purpose is to make better movies. Zhao Yan this time just wants to be a small test for you, and I hope you can understand what we do."
Not to mention not signing a contract, even if you sign a contract, there will be more deeds in the entertainment industry when the filming starts to replace people.
This attitude is extremely polite to make the vice president say something apologized to Jiang Tang.
Jiang Tang can also understand the hidden meaning of their not wanting to break up with him. He doesn't hold on to him. Anyway, the argument is meaningless.
She just smiled and nodded: "Of course, since I agreed, it means I accept this approach and have confidence in my successful audition."
The vice president also smiled with satisfaction: "It's so great. Will our audition start directly? Do you need time to prepare for you?"
Jiang Tang shook his head and said no, but he did not forget to turn around and ask Zhao Yan if he needed time to prepare.
Zhao Yan was stunned for two seconds before wavering her hand: "No, no, no."
She just hopes that the audition will end soon.
The vice president was not surprised: "Okay, just follow the content of this script, you will perform each one separately, and we will score based on your live performance. How about it?"
Zhao Yan nodded immediately, shook her head twice, and found that Jiang Tang on the side did not express his opinion. She hurriedly stopped her movements and waited for Jiang Tang's answer.
Jiang Tang suddenly raised his eyebrows: "I think this kind of performance may not be convenient to distinguish between high and low."
The vice president was puzzled and said, "Don't this usually happens when auditioning?"
Jiang Tang smiled without saying a word, she just said, "Otherwise, Zhao Yan and I will play directly."
No one present understood the meaning of Jiang Tang's "play" until Jiang Tang explained that they were the two of them together in this episode.
Jiang Tang picked up the script - only two thin pages, it is said that it is the final version of the script, and it turns out that it was not in the script that Jiang Tang read before.
She said: "This scene is played by Zhao Yan and me, and then I will see the final effect. How about it?"
The vice president was puzzled: "But there is only one character in this scene."
Jiang Tang shook his head: "Yes, it's this character."
Now, not only the vice president, but also the senior executives present, including director Gerald and Zhao Yan, didn't understand Jiang Tang's ideas.
Jiang Tang faced everyone's puzzled eyes: "This scene is said to be a one-man show, rather than to show her inner struggle and the opposite side of good and evil. Then, I will perform these good and evil separately."
The audition method proposed by Jiang Tang made the vice president's eyes lit up. He should be the most neutral among the people here, and he did not particularly favor Jiang Tang or Zhao Yan.
So to him, this audition method is quite interesting. In this rival scene, you can intuitively see the acting skills of the two actors, which is more friendly to non-acting professionals like him.
But others have different attitudes. Some find it interesting, while others directly object, such as Gerald.
He was hostile to Jiang Tang, thinking that the idea she proposed would not be good, and the other hand, he did not have much confidence that Zhao Yan won over Jiang Tang through her acting skills.
The most important thing is that if Jiang Tang does this, the result of his training for Zhao Yan will be greatly reduced!
He said: "I don't agree! As a director, I just want to see the inner struggles of your roles in this scene. I hope you will show that both states coexist, not a single side. Jiang, although your idea is very novel, I still insist that it is not suitable for our movie."
Gerald said this very well, which made the vice president, who was originally very interested, look hesitant.
"I don't think so." The female senior executive who had a good chat with Jiang Tang suddenly spoke, expressing her attitude completely opposite to Gerald. "I think Jiang Tang's proposal is very interesting, so that the acting skills of the two can be expressed very directly. If Gerald is doubtful about the final result, we can let them perform again in the way you said. I think these two ladies should not be less than your expectations."
With this female senior supporter, the vice president's idea decisively shifted to Jiang Tang's side.
Before Gerald found more reasons to reject Jiang Tang's proposal, the vice president had already made the decision.
"Then follow what Jiang said!"
Zhao Yan stared at the situation in a daze, and for some reason, she breathed a sigh of relief.
