章 81: Chapter 81 Luvia Audition
Luvia herself was a little nervous. To be the leading actress in a big-budget movie was a rare opportunity for her.
"Hey, Luvia. I'll lean towards you both in terms of image and emotion."
This was what my senior director said to me when they secretly talked to me before the audition.
But Luvia knew very well that her position as the leading actress was not a sure thing. In fact, the director had never told her that it was completely confirmed. After working with him for several months, Luvia knew that the director was a thorough pragmatist. Although he valued feelings, the premise was that feelings could bring him practical benefits.
Especially when making his own works, the senior student always had in his mind how to make the audience like his works and maximize this quality.
For example, in "Magical Girl Illya", after noticing that some of his viewers watched special effects dramas when they were young, in order to stimulate their feelings and stickiness to the series, the senior even specially added a few shots related to the clock tower, just to add a dispensable character called "Master" played by Dan Tokiro (the actor who played Hideki Go).
Then this guy started using a small account on the Internet to promote the news that Hideki Go would be playing a role in "Mae Yori", in order to attract viewers who had nostalgic feelings for Showa-style special effects to watch "Mae Yori".
Therefore, Luvia knew very well that if there really was an actor more suitable than herself, her senior would definitely replace her without hesitation.
And more importantly, the judges who auditioned for me this time were not only my senior, but also the investors of this movie. Although my senior had a lot of say in the selection of actors, if I was really disliked by the investors, it would still be difficult for me to get the role of the heroine.
"Listen carefully, junior Luvia." The senior's last words echoed in Luvia's ears, "You need to at least show acting skills that can be accepted by the investors. At least let the chairman see you besides Luvia in "Magical Girl Illya"."
[Isn't it me? ]
Luvia walked slowly to the center of the stage, and looked at the four judges in front of her with a smile. After ignoring the two passersby A and B, Luvia turned her attention to Washimine Shion and Kiryu Nanaya.
"May I introduce you first?"
"I'm Luviagelita Edelfelt from Finland."
"You should have read the brief script we provided, right?"
"Yes." Luvia nodded.
In fact, the script she received was thicker than others, and she knew more detailed information about the role of priestess than any other auditioner.
Nanaya pinched his chin and said to Luvia, "I need you to perform a scene where all other members of the adventure group have an accident and the only survivors are you and a dying companion. Is that okay?"
"Can."
Luvia knew this part of the plot, which happened near the end of a scene, when the newcomers were almost wiped out due to their carelessness and ignorance, and the priestess she played was the only character who survived. However, during the previous auditions, Nanaya had not asked her to perform this part.
[The previous times I was asked to perform the scenes that took place after I met Goblin Slayer, but this time they chose to perform before? This senior is really a mean guy.]
However, Luvia did not show any fear. On the contrary, she seemed eager to try.
The acting genre she studied is experiential, and the characteristic of experiential is that it emphasizes the real experience completed by oneself.
Different from the general belief that experientialism should "start from oneself", the real "experientialism" pay more attention to "real listening, real seeing and real feeling".
For example, if you are going to play an old man, the experientialist view is that you are not imitating the old man, but making yourself believe that the old man's situation is happening to you, such as believing that you have difficulty walking, you are hunched over, you can't see clearly, etc. You are still yourself, but your situation has changed and become the same as the role you are going to play.
So Luvia now has to believe that she is the priestess, and she has experienced everything that the priestess has experienced.
[So the priestess's situation at that time was... She wanted to save the female mage beside her, but she had no idea how to do it, and her own safety was not her top priority. Therefore, I should pay more attention to the panic component, and the fear should be more reflected in the fact that she didn't know whether she could save everyone. ]
In Luvia's mind, she seemed to have entered that dark cave. Her companions met with accidents one by one, and she was left alone, struggling to survive...
Luvia opened her eyes and nodded silently to Nanaya.
"Very good, please start your performance."
Nanaya's legs were shaking slightly, and he was both nervous and looking forward to Luvia's performance.
[First, the action. At that time, the priestess and the female magician fell to the ground...]
Luvia didn't care about the solid ground. She knelt directly on the ground, her hands seemed to be stroking something in front of her.
[Then the expression...]
Luvia opened her mouth and seemed to want to make some sound, but she could not utter a single word through her sobs.
"Uh...uh...I'm sorry...I...I..."
Luvia stretched out her shaking hands to confirm something, then she suddenly turned her head and looked behind her. Then, Luvia seemed to see something terrible, and she crawled backwards with a panicked expression on her face.
"Wuwu…Wuwu…"
Luvia clenched her teeth, holding back the tears that were about to burst out, and stared at the air in front of her with a feeling of sadness and anger.
"Your eyes are so big, I wonder if they will pop out." Nanaya complained in a low voice that only he and Shion could hear.
"Hello!"
Shion patted Nanaya to signal him to stop talking nonsense.
"Eh…Ah…Wuwu…"
At this time, Luvia seemed to have reached the limit of her patience. Her teeth were chattering and her body was shaking constantly.
Just when her emotions reached their peak——
Pop.
A hand gently rested on Luvia's shoulder.
"Aa ...
This sudden action startled the nervous Luvia. Almost subconsciously, she grabbed the hand on her shoulder and threw it and its owner out.
"Depend on!"
Nanaya let out a scream after being thrown out.
"Senior, you're going too far! Don't be so scary!"
"You're just too immersed in the role!" Nanaya retorted directly, "I wanted to tell you that this scene is over. I called you twice just now and you didn't respond!"
"Sorry...I'm sorry."
Luvia blushed and lowered her head, not knowing what to say.
"Okay, next you will perform as the male protagonist's assistant and use the [Holy Wall] scene."
Nanaya got up from the ground, rubbed his shoulders and ordered Luvia in a very calm tone.
"Yes...yes."
Luvia quickly stood up and began to think about the emotions she wanted to express next.
"Why didn't I hear you say anything?"
When Nanaya sat back in his seat, Washimine Shion asked in a low voice.
"Is it not okay to say it in your heart?"
Nanaya rubbed his still sore neck and said unhappily.
[Although I knew that girl was an experience-oriented person, I didn't expect that she would be so devoted. I didn't feel this strongly before.]
The reason why Nanaya took the initiative to interrupt just now was because he found that Luvia was too devoted to the role. In order to prevent his junior sister from having any psychological trauma because of this incident, Nanaya took the initiative to interrupt her.
At the same time, a segment that was completely opposite to the first audition scene was immediately arranged for Luvia, in order to pull her out before she was completely immersed in the role.
In fact, Nanaya asked Luvia to audition with the most helpless scene of the priestess in the script, originally wanting to use Luvia's advantage of experience to show Shion the acting skills of this junior. Because this plot is the one with the biggest difference from Luvia's current personality, Luvia, a strong girl, performed her most helpless side, allowing Shion to clearly recognize her excellent acting skills.
"I feel like I've gone a little too far, but it seems like we should be able to look forward to this girl's performance..."
Nanaya looked at Luvia who had a determined expression on the stage. At this moment, he felt his ribs still aching slightly.
"The future is really exciting."
Looking at Luvia who was performing hard, Nanaya had a feeling that this girl might become the brightest star in his movie.
··
Although Luvia's acting was a bit exaggerated in the audition results, compared to the other "robots" who all had the same face, her performance was recognized by both Nanaya and Washimine Shion.
"So now the main cast has been confirmed."
After the audition, Washimine Shion sorted out the selected actors' information. She asked Nanaya, who was also packing, "So when are you going to New Zealand to shoot?"
"Well... probably next month. I have a few things to deal with here. You guys at Washimine just need to notify everyone in advance. And there's also the matter of the special effects team..."
"I understand. I'll ask them to come to Japan first." Shion said unhappily, "Isn't it okay if I do as you say? But you better remember to be serious when filming the movie!"
When Shion thought of this, he was furious, but Nanaya was very proud. After all, Nanaya didn't have to pay a penny for this matter, and all the expenses would be borne by Washimine as [training fees].
To put it bluntly, this is using Washimine's money to benefit his own work. This is considered poaching from the public, but it does not have any subsequent risks, and Nanaya loves to do it the most.
"Of course, of course. I promise to complete Chairman Washimine's task!" Nanaya said with a grin. He was in a good mood after getting Shion's approval. Using a Hollywood special effects team to complete a special effects drama for children, Nanaya felt that his achievement should be unprecedented and unparalleled.
"Speaking of which, I'm a little curious."
As if not wanting Nanaya to get too proud, Shion planned to take revenge on this arrogant director.
So when Nanaya was about to leave, Washimine Shion seemed to suddenly think of something. She stopped Nanaya and asked, "Who will you choose as your female companion for the day after tomorrow? The two junior high school girls who came to audition today? Or your junior schoolmate?"
Hearing this question from Washimine Shion, Nanaya's smiling face immediately turned into a bitter one: "You will know when you watch the TV broadcast the day after tomorrow, when the Japanese Oscars Awards Ceremony is broadcast live."

Onigiri
Onigiri pS: There are currently three main schools of thought in artistic performance, namely "experientialism", "methodism" and "expressionism".
There are too many specific things to distinguish, so here is a simple example. It is not particularly accurate, but it gives some readers who are not clear about it a general idea.
For example, after the UBW line, Rin in the Clock Tower had to play a couple with Luvia in a certain program. For Rin, the "experience school" meant that she had to make herself fall in love with Luvia and act like a couple; the "method school" was to replace Luvia with Rin's own lover, Shirou Emiya; and the "expression school" was for Rin to build a model of "Rin who fell in love with Luvia" in her heart, and then imitate this model to perform. She herself had no inner fluctuations and even wanted to hit Luvia.
Although the pursuits and methods of each school seem to be clearly defined, it is impossible to achieve 100% purity in actual performance. After all, even "expressive" actors will have emotional investment.
All three genres have produced great actors. There is no so-called distinction between good and bad. It just depends on which actor is more suitable for the role.
