The young man’s words made it seem like Lu Zhen was a very famous celebrity. This was very disadvantageous to Lu Zhen.
Everyone present was a big shot in the movie industry. How could Lu Zhen dare to be arrogant in front of these people? She used these two sentences to create a humble and low-key image and even placed herself in the position of a newcomer.
Sure enough, after she finished speaking, the old lady nodded slightly and looked at her even more gently.
Director Jiang Wen’s expression did not change. He only glanced at Lu Zhen and wrote a few words on the paper in front of him.
Lu Zhen couldn’t see what he had written, but Director Jiang Wen’s actions made her feel a little uneasy. Could it be that her first impression had already made Director Jiang Wen judge her?
The audition room was an empty room. Other than the row of tables and chairs, there was nothing else. Beside Lu Zhen was an entire wall of mirrors. Any minute movements of hers were clearly reflected by the mirrors and then reflected to the four judges.
This kind of environment could undoubtedly cause a lot of psychological pressure. If it was an interviewee with poor mental fortitude, they would probably not know what to say or do at this moment. They would be even more afraid of making mistakes.
Lu Zhen was a little nervous at first, but she quickly adjusted herself. She hinted to herself: Don’t be nervous. It’s useless to be nervous at all. Just treat the judges as an ordinary audience.
With this thought in mind, Lu Zhen’s body quickly relaxed, and her smile relaxed.
The young man who spoke at the beginning whispered to the other three, “It looks pretty good.”
The young woman with a cold expression frowned. The corners of her mouth seemed to indicate that she did not agree with the young man’s words.
The audition room was silent for a while before the kind old lady said, “You were introduced by Chu Yuan. I guess he should have introduced you to the situation of this role. You have more advantages than the other competitors in this aspect. We will also be more strict with you. Are you ready?”
Lu Zhen took a deep breath and said calmly, “I’m ready.”
Director Jiang Wen flipped through her information for a while and asked, “You know how to play the piano, right?”
Lu Zhen was not modest. “Yes, I know how to play the piano, but I didn’t take the test.”
There was no test, which meant that her standard might not be good. The four judges felt that Lu Zhen might only know how to play the piano.
“You can improvise for a while. We don’t have a piano here, so there’s no real performance. Is that okay?” Director Jiang Wen threw Lu Zhen’s information on the table and leaned back in his chair. An act with no physical objects…
Lu Zhen nodded. “Sure.”
She had no other choice. Acting without a physical object was an effective way to train actors. However, when this method was used to test actors, it also indirectly increased the difficulty of acting.
Actors were a profession that requires a high sense of immersion, and the sense of immersion came from the people and things in the environment. A few years ago, there was a piece of news in the entertainment industry.
A very famous female artist stopped acting on the set because the apple given to her by the production team was not the apple from the previous scene Because the apple was different, she could not get into character.
In the end, the production team had no choice but to go to several fruit markets and find her a fruit that was most similar to the previous apple.
Although the story was a little exaggerated, it also illustrated a very important thing—props had a huge impact on actors.
That female artist still had an apple to choose from, but at this moment, Lu Zhen didn’t even have an apple. Moreover, the piano was completely incomparable to the apple. She wanted to play the piano, but she didn’t even have the most important interactive props.
Lu Zhen took a deep breath. She leaned forward slightly and sat with her hips at the front of the chair. Her back was very straight.
The moment she raised her wrist, all the aura that originally belonged to Lu Zhen suddenly disappeared. In the blink of an eye, another person seemed to have appeared in the room.
As the first note fell, the girl’s slender and fair fingers danced in the air. The abundant vitality and passion on her fingertips seemed to be overflowing. Silent and beautiful music seemed to flow out of her dancing fingers. The tea-colored dress accentuated her cold temperament, making her look weak and fairy-like.
From the perspective of the four judges, Lu Zhen only revealed a quarter of her side profile. Her extremely beautiful face had completely lost its effect.
Lu Zhen was completely using her back view to play this role..
