Chapter 386: Analyzing the Role

Translator: Henyee Translations    Editor: Henyee Translations

In the show, there was no signing of a contract, so they used the role card to match the actors and roles.

Lu Zhen watched as the staff walked towards her with the character card and felt a little nervous. Which role would she play in the script?

In the script, there were a total of three more important characters. One of them was the robot, Little Trash.

The second was a young, down-and-out painter who often came to the supermarket to buy daily necessities and food, so he gradually became familiar with the robot, Little Trash.

The third person did not appear many times. It was a supermarket customer who used to pay money to the robot, Little Trash. This customer was also the person who paid the most money to the robot before the painter appeared.

The setting of the robot “Little Trash” was that due to the technical limitations of ten years ago and the aging of the chip, its memory capacity was very small. It was only allowed to remember one person. Therefore, the robot “Little Trash” would only remember the customer who contributed the most coins, which was the first on the coin list.

After Lu Zhen read the script, she felt that there was a high chance that she and Yang Na would play the first two roles. They would either be the robot, or the young painter.

Lu Zhen had also analyzed these two characters. There were good and bad parts to these two characters.

The setting of the robot “Little Trash” was relatively novel. Moreover, acting as a robot was something Lu Zhen had never experienced before. Acting as a robot was completely different from acting as a human. It was a huge challenge for actors.

If she acted too stiffly, it would be very boring. If she acted too nimbly, she wouldn’t look like a robot. It was very difficult to grasp the scale in between. In addition to the difficulty of acting, there was also a problem with acting as a robot, which was that there was less room for play.

Robots did not have much movement or expression. They did not even have much eye contact. This caused a robot to be similar to a wooden person most of the time. The only difference was that the robot was a talking wooden person.

The second character, a young painter, was a more conventional character. It gave the actors a lot of room to perform. It was very suitable for the actors to show their acting skills and add many details.

However, overall, Director Wei Ji’s script was still based on the “story”. The settings of the characters were relatively restrained, unlike movies like “Madam Sharon” that centered on the characters.

Yang Na, who was sitting beside Lu Zhen, was also very nervous. In her opinion, although the role of a robot was relatively novel, there was too little room for performance. Most of the time, it was an expressionless robot. To put it bluntly, it was not impossible for an actor with poor acting skills to act.

However, this character was not without charm. If the details were handled well, it could still leave a deep impression on the audience. As for the young artist, he had more character and characteristics. At the very least, he had a clear mind when acting. Yang Na felt that she could control that role well.

After carefully analyzing the pros and cons of the two characters, Yang Na still felt that the young artist’s role was better. She turned to look at Lu Zhen and guessed which role Lu Zhen wanted to play more.

Soon, the staff member who issued the character cards walked in front of the two of them. He took out the character cards in his hand and handed them to them.

Lu Zhen took the character card and saw that Director Wei Ji had written a few words in black marker: “Lu Zhen—Robot.’

Lu Zhen turned around and saw the character card in Yang Na’s hand with the words “Yang Na—Painter” written on it.

The two of them looked up and their gazes met. Yang Na put away her character card and looked at Lu Zhen with bright eyes and a hint of excitement. “This is the first time the two of us are acting together.”

Lu Zhen smiled and nodded. “Yes, I’m looking forward to it.”

After putting away the character card, Lu Zhen fell into deep thought. Director Wei Ji had assigned her the role of a robot. Now, she did not have to worry about which role was better. The only thing she had to do was to do her best to play this role.

Lu Zhen took a deep breath and began to recall the movies she had seen about robots in the past. At the same time, she thought about how to play the robot “Little Trash”.

After the role cards were distributed, a few celebrity students entered the production team. These celebrity students were not chosen by the director. They were reassigned to various teams by the production team. Their roles were basically unimportant passersby.

Lu Zhen saw a familiar face..
