Chapter 166 Casting
May day
When Zhang Rilong went downstairs, he saw a man in his 50s.

"Mr. Li! I'm Zhuo Jinggong, the assistant director of Legend of Sword and Fairy."

Zhang Rilong held out his hand to shake, "Hi, are you here to see me?"

Zhuo Jinggong said: "I'll pick you up, and let's chat in advance by the way."

"it is good."

Zhang Rilong and Zhuo Jinggong got into the car, and the other car was a gray off-road vehicle.

After getting in the car, Zhuo Jinggong started the car and found that it couldn't start, so he looked around.

After seeing Zhang Rilong, he reminded: "Mr. Li, put on your seat belt."

"Oh." Zhang Rilong tied it up smoothly.

Zhuo Jinggong quickly started the car, and while slowly driving the car out of the community, he said: "I came from the director department of the Shanghai Theater Academy. I learned about it when I accepted the contract this time. I listened to Mr. Li when it came to selecting candidates." Yes, you can decide."

Zhang Rilong said indifferently: "I've identified a few key roles, and if I'm assigned to take charge of them all, I won't do other things."

It was the same in The Legend of the White Snake. Zhang Rilong only cared about a few protagonists and important supporting roles.

Zhuo Jinggong said with a smile: "Most of the people who came to interview today are newcomers in the industry. Maybe the big stars in the entertainment industry for more than ten years in the future will all come out of our drama."

Zhang Rilong also smiled symbolically and didn't say much.

Zhuo Jinggong said again: "Have you eaten, Mr. Li? I have lived in Shanghai since I was a child, and I used to hang out in Shanghai before university. Which restaurant here is delicious, I can't hide it from gluttons like me."

Zhang Rilong said: "Isn't that a long time ago? How many years can a restaurant usually be open?"

Zhuo Jinggong said: "It has been everywhere for hundreds of years. In Shanghai, as long as it is a restaurant with its own room, the business is good. Here, it is peaceful and worry-free. It is not so easy to go bankrupt when customers accumulate. There are many rich people in Shanghai. "

Zhang Rilong found that he still didn't understand this era, but there was no need to understand everything.

The two soon arrived at the audition building, this time it was not the original place, but a high-end building by the river.

Zhang Rilong wore cheap sportswear, Zhuo Jinggong wore a low-key middle-aged brand name, and even his body was smeared with the big boss's men's perfume.

However, most people know Zhang Rilong, but they are not very familiar with Zhuo Jinggong.

Zhuo Jinggong is a second-tier director, but he doesn't mix in the Beijing circle, so he doesn't have much popularity and resources.

Zhang Rilong is well-known in the circle because of the relationship of being filmed at the wedding.

Now everyone knows that Li Xunhuan is a 17-year-old high school student.

He is young and talented, and at the same time he is a member of the Zhejiang-Shanghai Internet. The southern media are full to hack him?
The northern media didn't criticize him either. Both "Ningxia" and "Home in the Northeast" had enough good impressions, and they all regarded Zhang Rilong as one of their own.

"Teacher Zhang!"

"Hello, Teacher Li!"

"Director Zhang!"

"Teacher Zhang!"

"Director Li!"

Zhang Rilong said to the staff: "Let's call them uniformly, Li Xunhuan is fine, and simply called Li Tan... Teacher Li is fine."

Zhang Rilong suddenly remembered something.

The name Li Xunhuan also has another title, Li Tanhua.

This name is unlucky!
For Zhang Rilong, who is determined to be the first in the exam, this name is too unlucky.

Exploring flowers is not enough, no success.

Do you want to change your name?
Who are the famous champions...

Wen Tianxiang, Guo Ziyi, and...Chen Shimei?

Zhang Rilong was thinking about things that were very important to him, and unknowingly sat on the judge's seat.

Seeing Zhang Rilong sitting there thinking about something, Zhuo Jinggong thought he was thinking about something related to the crew, so he said to his assistant: "Director Li hasn't had breakfast yet, go buy morning tea and come back."

Just as the assistant was about to agree, a woman quickly said: "I have some breakfast that I haven't eaten yet. If you haven't eaten, Director Li, you can eat my portion."

Zhang Rilong raised his head and looked over, it was none other than Shangguan Mingyue.

"You came so early?" Zhang Rilong looked at Shangguan Mingyue and then at the time, it was just after eight o'clock.

Shangguan Mingyue put the breakfast on the table, and said with a smile: "I'll come here early to see, there are quite a few outside who are earlier than me."

"Change your clothes and get ready to start. What role are you interviewing for?" Zhang Rilong waved his hand, "I've eaten it, you can eat it yourself."

Shangguan Mingyue turned around and said with a smile, "What role does Director Li think I'm suitable for?"

"You don't have any clues, are you here for fun?" Zhang Rilong said with a cold face, "I don't think you are suitable for anything, so there is no need to try."

Shangguan Mingyue quickly put away her smile, and said politely, "I'm here to interview Die Jingdie, and I think I'm very suitable for this role."

Zhang Rilong looked at Shangguan Mingyue and waved his hands.

Shangguan Mingyue's heart sank.

"Go and try to change clothes." Zhang Rilong said boredly: "Let the rest of you start, I have something to finish early in the afternoon, and let her go if there are too many things."

Shangguan Mingyue went to change clothes soon. There were men's and women's floors upstairs, and each floor rented more than ten rooms for changing clothes.

This time there are many characters, and there are also many sets of costumes, and some characters have special makeup artists.

Zhang Rilong put his legs crossed on the table and continued to think about things.

Can't be so superstitious.

It doesn't mean that if you are called Li Tanhua, you can really get admitted to Tanhua.

The name is just a good sustenance. If you care too much about it, you will appear superstitious. As a good man in the new era, if you always care about such insignificant things, doesn't it seem that you are too unconfident?

The first place in the test is a matter of strength, not a matter of name.

Let Li Xunhuan be Li Xunhuan, it's just a title anyway.

Soon the first person to audition for the male lead came, and was quickly rejected.

There are also a lot of people auditioning for female roles. The heroines of this kind of big productions are always in demand, not to mention this is an opportunity for newcomers. All major colleges and companies have recommended newcomers to come for interviews.

Some people look good in modern clothes, but not in ancient clothes.

Some people don't look good in ancient costumes, and they don't look good in modern clothes, but they can control some very strange images and dresses.

So the audition is to give the opportunity to show another side. Some things can’t be seen without putting on the clothes.

It is also a costume drama, for example, Lin Yaru is suitable for the dress of a gentle lady, and it will collapse immediately if she changes her image.

Even if they came to the audition, they were all young girls aged [-], [-], or even [-] or [-], but after changing their costumes, many people couldn't bear the girlish feeling.

"I don't think so." Zhang Rilong watched for more than an hour, and some people were rejected by him as soon as they came out with clothes on.

There is no need to say anything on the scene.

Zhuo Jinggong also agrees with Zhang Rilong's aesthetics, "It's not easy to choose a heroine or a heroine. The heroine has to be ruffian, handsome and chivalrous, and the heroine has to be pure, just like Mr. Li's voice. Some are born with unsuitable faces. No amount of acting is worth it."

"Whether you have acting skills or not is another matter." Zhang Rilong clasped his hands in front of him, and shouted a little bored: "Next."

The two tried the male and female protagonists first, and did not choose the right one before interviewing for other roles.

The rest of the roles were very good choices. Those who came to the interview had seen the image design and personality of several characters, and they had a good idea.

The lines are not difficult, just put on a costume and perform with the script, use it if it suits you, and leave if it doesn’t suit you.

Shangguan Mingyue waited for more than three hours before leaving. She changed into a somewhat revealing ancient costume and carried a colorful butterfly wing prop on her back.

"Xianggong~" Shangguan Mingyue glanced at the lines, and soon began to perform live. She is a serious art school student.

Her role is Butterfly Wonderful Yi. In fact, she is a butterfly essence with a thousand years of cultivation. In order to repay Liu Jinyuan for saving her life, she chose to sacrifice her thousand-year Taoism in exchange for Liu Jinyuan's ten-year lifespan, and she turned back into a butterfly.

"Okay." Zhang Rilong shouted, "Okay, give her a contract."

Zhang Rilong recognized Shangguan Mingyue flatly, just like he recognized the roles of other people before.

"Thank you, Director Li!" Shangguan Mingyue thanked happily, and when she met Zhang Rilong's eyes, she blinked quietly.

Zhang Rilong ignored her, since he was not the one who paid her the salary anyway.
