Bright Era of China Entertainment

Chapter 275 Do you want to act?

Under normal circumstances, the nicknames of debut artists or celebrities from all walks of life on Xinlang Weiyu are all real names, and a search can find the personal space page of the corresponding celebrity.

Chu Xuan opened Weiyu, and entered [Zhang Meng] in the search box.

In an instant, in the drop-down list of the search box, fuzzy query script technology provided options for multiple users named Zhang Meng.

"The first one is." Jiang Xin glanced at the portrait, and pointed.

Chu Xuan moved the mouse and clicked on the first option, and the browser jumped to Zhang Meng's personal space page.

"It's her." Su Chang confirmed the big profile picture on the upper left corner.

"Look at her personal photo album." Concubine Liu Yi bent slightly, resting her left hand on Chu Xuan's email, and leaning her face closer to the computer to look at it.

Chu Xuan complied, and Zhang Meng's personal photo album was opened.

A series of life photos and art photos caught everyone's eyes. Su Chang and Jiang Xin's eyes showed admiration for their clean and innocent faces.

"It's ok. Personally, it fits well with Baguio." Jiang Xin agreed.

"Yes, but depending on the appearance of the ancient costumes, life photos and art photos still have little room for imagination." Su Chang nodded.

Concubine Liu Yi blinked, put her arms around Chu Xuan's neck behind his back, and rested her head on top of his head.

"It's more suitable for Baguio than the actors in the email, what do you think?"

Chu Xuan looked at the photo on the screen and nodded.

"Who wants to play Baguio?" Su Chang was curious.

"Yang Mi, An Yixuan, Zhang Junling, Wang Xiaochen, Tang Yan, Yang Ying..." Concubine Liu Yi said while thinking.

"Many people don't know each other." Jiang Xin shook his head.

Su Chang blinked twice, thought for a while and said, "Then Zhang Meng is suitable."

Chu Xuan exited the personal album page with the mouse, clicked into the personal profile page, and found the business contact information.

Concubine Liu Yi let go of both sides holding Chu Xuan's neck, got up and took a pen and paper to record the contact information.

After she put down the pen and paper, Chu Xuan entered another unfamiliar name in the search box on the homepage of Weiyu, which attracted her attention.

"Huang Xuan?" She put her left hand on Chu Xuan's shoulder.

Su Chang and Jiang Xin also looked out curiously.

Chu Xuan clicked on Huang Xuan's personal page.

"Department of Musical Theater of Beijing Dance Academy?" Su Chang raised his eyebrows.

"Musical actor? For me, this is a very elegant profession." Jiang Xin said.

Concubine Liu Yi moved her eyes a few times, put the hand on Chu Xuan's right shoulder around Chu Xuan's left shoulder, and touched Chu Xuan's left cheek.

"You want him to play Zhang Xiaofan?" She asked, looking intently at the screen.

"Look first." Chu Xuan opened Huang Xuan's personal photo album.

Under the eyes of everyone, there are only some stage performance photos in the personal album. Obviously, this Huang Xuan has not made his debut yet, and he is just a student at present.

Jiang Xin stretched out his right hand and brushed the hair in his right ear, and said: "A pure newcomer, he is not very handsome, but he has a temperament."

Su Chang nodded and said, "Every musical actor has a temperament, which is cultivated on the stage."

Concubine Liu Yi tilted her head slightly, while looking at the stage photo of Huang Xuan, she frowned and thought about the connection between Huang Xuan and Zhang Xiaofan.

Chu Xuan flipped through the photos with the mouse, and said while looking at them: "Compared with Lin Jingyu, Zeng Shushu, Qi Hao, Xiao Yicai and others, Zhang Xiaofan looks ordinary, but Guili is not ordinary. Playing two roles is very difficult for a young actor to perform, we have read so many profiles of young actors in the circle these days, and none of them are suitable."

Concubine Liu Yi nodded.

Chu Xuan also said: "But there is a way, that is, the actor's face is ordinary, but his temperament is extraordinary. In the case of insufficient acting skills, when playing Zhang Xiaofan, use makeup and ordinary clothes to suppress the temperament, and when playing Ghost Li, change the makeup. And clothing to release the temperament, maybe it will achieve a big change before and after."

"That's what many directors do." Su Chang agreed.

"Through makeup and clothing, the temperament of the actors can be changed." She said again.

"But the core point still depends on acting skills. The so-called temperament is determined by walking posture, body shape, eyes and facial expressions." Jiang Xin said.

Chu Xuan raised his forehead slightly, pointed to the photo on the screen, and said, "You can learn if you are not good at acting, but at least there is one thing. Putting this Huang Xuan among people like Hu Ge and Peng Yuyan is based on the audience's zero recognition of Huang Xuan." You know, he is ordinary."

"Hu Ge? Peng Yuyan?" Su Chang raised his eyebrows.

"Hu Ge plays Lin Jingyu, Peng Yuyan plays Qi Hao." Liu Yifei explained.

Su Chang and Jiang Xin nodded suddenly.

"From the perspective of appearance, compared with these two people, he is indeed ordinary." Jiang Xin said.

"That's just a comparison with Hu Ge and Peng Yuyan. Looking at it alone, this Huang Xuan is still a bit handsome." Su Chang said.

Concubine Liu Yi listened to what they said, while pondering for herself, at this moment she pinched Chu Xuan's face with her hand on Chu Xuan's left shoulder, and said: "Then call him and Zhang Meng together, and try wearing ancient clothes." try?"

Chu Xuan nodded, "The Department of Musical Theater of Beijing Dance Academy."

Hearing this, Concubine Liu Yi took a pen and paper to record it at the table.

"How to find someone?" she asked.

"Leave it to the people in the company." Chu Xuan took the information paper she had recorded, got up and walked towards the office door, opened the door and walked out.

The big office where the director team is located, Zhao Jian, Huang Lei and others are in the office.

Chu Xuan pushed the door and walked in, greeted them, and then turned to a compartment.

"President Chu." Several teachers in the cubicle shouted.

"I need the costumes of Zhang Xiaofan, Gui Li and Bi Yao." Chu Xuan said concisely.

Several teachers looked at each other, and one of them lowered his eyebrows in thought.

"Mr. Chu, before the end of the month." The teacher replied.

"Okay, it's hard work." Chu Xuan closed the door and left, waved at Zhao Jian and the others, and walked out of the office quickly, very resolutely.

The huge office area is composed of various departments, and the staff of each department work in a specific area.

"President Chu."

"President Chu..."

When Chu Xuan came to the office where the marketing department was located, the staff greeted him one after another.

"Help me contact two people. One has a phone number, the other has school information, and both have accounts on Weiyu. Come to the company to audition for Zhang Xiaofan and Baguio on October [-]st. Don't force it."

"clear."

"It's a performance if it's done."

"President Chu, don't worry, it must be done!"

Thanks to Su Chang's casual suggestion, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei broadened their thinking about finding actors, stepped out of the scope of being immersed in promotional emails and company materials, and set their sights on the newcomer market.

The two important roles that have troubled Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi these days finally have candidates to be determined.

Judging from the photos, the character design is still suitable, but whether it is suitable or not depends on the effect of the audition.

Here, Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi can only wait, and at the same time look forward to it.

……

……

Beijing Dance Academy.

In a dance hall, after a musical performance, the lights in the hall were brightly lit.

Huang Xuan squinted his eyes due to the dazzling light, and immediately left behind the stage with the dancers.

The students walked and chatted all the way, Huang Xuan purposely stayed away from them, and walked silently on the edge.

Silently, he came to the locker room. Some classmates glanced at him and greeted him, but he only grinned imperceptibly as a response.

The students didn't take it seriously, maybe it's because Huang Xuan's dancing aptitude is mediocre, which makes this person very introverted, so he doesn't like to talk, right?They have also gotten used to Huang Xuan's usual style.

After changing into the usual clothes and leaving the dance hall, Huang Xuan frowned in the sunshine. On the way back to the dormitory, he still didn't talk to anyone, remaining taciturn as usual.

When he was a child, his parents often quarreled and brought about a living environment full of negative energy, which created his current introverted personality.

The divorce of his parents after he grew up made him even more alienated from his family.

Although he has embarked on the road of learning dance because his mother is a dancer, his mediocre qualifications in dance have made him longing for a film and television actor.

"You can't, you are too introverted, and you look like this, who can remember you when you go to an acting!" Mom firmly objected.

Learning an art skill without much talent already made Huang Xuan lack of interest, and he lived a campus life as if he had no goals on weekdays.

His mother's objection made him feel even more depressed.

"You just have to try, your mother doesn't understand, not all actors are good-looking, they are all good at talking, and there are introverted ones, it's better to be pure, maybe more people like it." Auntie was very supportive.

This also made Huang Xuan's heart a little more balanced.

But because of his mother's stubbornness in letting him learn dance, it has always been difficult for him to have the opportunity to try acting.

The most important thing is that without connections, he doesn't even know how to be a group performer.

"Hello, are you Huang Xuan? Do you want to act?"

Huang Xuan raised his head and saw a stranger in front of him, but he handed him a business card of the brilliant era.

……

……

Yu Province, Zheng City.

At the railway station, passengers come and go, shoulder to shoulder.

Xiao Wei came out of the passage wearing a hat.

At the request of President Chu, a person named Huang Xuan and Zhang Meng should come to audition on October [-]st.

In his mind, this is a very simple matter.

He is in the marketing department, and the current popularity of "Zhu Xian" is all promoted by him and his colleagues.

With the popularity of "Zhu Xian" now, the super popularity of President Chu and Producer Liu, and the star effect of our bright era that is not weaker than that of Huayi, "Zhu Xian" also has the famous Zhang Jizhong in charge.

The protagonist, Zhang Xiaofan, is an important female supporting role in Baguio. There are bound to be many actors who are staring at these two roles.

This is indeed the case. These days, many people in the company have come to discuss with Mr. Chu and Producer Liu. They, the employees, also noticed it, and felt from the side that people in the entertainment circle highly respect "Zhu Xian".

These people still come in person, so it would be easier to take the initiative to invite them, right?
At first, it was exactly as he thought, he asked the salesman below to find Huang Xuan, and Huang Xuan immediately accepted the business card when he saw it.

Zhang Meng is currently studying at No.16 Middle School in Zheng City, which is a little far away from the capital, so he called him.

What he didn't expect was that Zhang Meng rejected Baguio's chance to audition.

This is an active invitation, which means that the chances of passing the audition are very high.

Turned down?
Zhang Meng gave a reason: I am very sorry for my lack of acting skills.

He made the call himself, and made more than one call.

On the first phone call, from Zhang Meng's tone, he could hear Zhang Meng's surprise.

On the second call, from Zhang Meng's tone, he could hear lack of confidence and timidity.

Zhang Meng refused the third call.

Xiao Wei was speechless.

He has been with Sister Hua for many years and has many years of experience in dealing with people from all walks of life.

He could tell that Zhang Meng was very sincere and really unconfident, not because he looked down on "Zhu Xian", but because he was worried about ruining Biguio's performance.

Xiao Wei is helpless, President Chu and Producer Liu have personally selected you, are you still worried about your self-confidence?President Chu and Producer Liu did this, which shows that they have great confidence in you, but you are not confident in yourself.

Xiao Wei is convinced too.

Although Mr. Chu said don't force it, but these low-level people naturally want to get things done.

While there was still time, he decided to personally persuade Zhang Meng. If he was persuaded, then the task that Mr. Chu had confessed would be considered a smooth completion. If he failed, then he would be helpless.

He took a taxi to No.16 Middle School in Zheng City, and when it was time to leave school, Xiao Wei picked up his cell phone and made a call.

The phone connected, it was Zhang Meng's assistant and nanny, who was also at the school gate.

After the other party's instructions, Xiao Wei and Zhang Meng's assistant met.

"I didn't expect you to come in person." The assistant sighed.

"Zhang Meng is very suitable for Baguio." Xiao Wei said so.

"She makes up her own mind about these things, I'm just an assistant," said the assistant.

"I'll tell her later." Xiao Wei nodded.

After many inquiries and understandings, Zhang Meng's family is very wealthy, his mother is involved in the financial industry, and he has made friends with many bigwigs from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Among them is a big guy named Wu Dun, who has made Jia Jingwen, Lin Zhiying, and Jin Chengwu popular. This person is Zhang Meng's mother's partner and is currently Zhang Meng's godfather.

Out of doting on Zhang Meng, many things are chosen by Zhang Meng himself. Zhang Meng's mother and Wu Dun don't interfere, they only need to establish a good relationship and pave the way for Zhang Meng.

With such a background, he really couldn't understand why Zhang Meng was not confident?
"Auntie." Zhang Meng walked over after school, looking at Xiao Wei curiously.

"This is a person from the Brilliant Era, for the sake of "Zhu Xian" Baguio." The assistant explained.

Zhang Meng was stunned, a little unbelievable, "Is that you on the phone? Why did you find it yourself?"

Xiao Wei said, "Hello, Zhang Meng. Entrusted by the company, I came here to sincerely invite you to audition in Brilliant Times. You are really suitable for Baguio."

Zhang Meng smiled sweetly, "Thank you for your approval."

She shook her head again, "But you have such a big crew, I'm afraid my level is not enough to delay your filming, and I still have to go to school."

Xiao Wei was dumbfounded, and said: "You can learn if you are not good enough, Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi know?"

Zhang Meng nodded and said, "Big star, I want to be like them in the future."

Xiao Wei smiled, "They think you are very suitable for Baguio. If you are not good enough, they will teach you."

Zhang Meng's eyes flickered, as if his heart was moved, but he said again: "The character Baguio is very popular on the forum, and I also know some information about this character..."

She paused, and finally whispered: "Baguio is amazing, I don't think I'm suitable for Baguio."

Xiao Wei opened his mouth, speechless.

You look good, are you worried about this?

"I'm sorry." Zhang Meng waved his hand and got into the car with his assistant.

Xiao Wei was a little dazed, helplessly watching the car go away.

He didn't expect to be rejected face to face, and he couldn't understand what this little girl was thinking.

In this case, he was completely helpless.

Turning from Zhengshi City to Beijing Railway Station, Xiao Wei walked out from the passage.

Mr. Chu's task was only half completed, and he was thinking about what to tell Mr. Chu.

"Hello." A leaflet was handed to him.

Xiao Wei frowned and took it.

However, he looked up at the person who handed out the leaflets, and began to look at them seriously.

"Is... what's the matter?" The girl handing out the leaflets blinked.

"Hello, do you want to act?" Xiao Wei said suddenly.

The girl was startled, and was just about to leave to avoid the psychopath in front of her, but a business card from the Brilliant Times stopped her in her tracks.

"You are from the Brilliant Era!" She said in surprise.

Xiao Wei smiled and nodded, "If you want to act, tell me your name, give me a call, maybe you have a chance to be on TV."

The girl pursed her lips, a little excited and doubtful, but she still gave her name.

"My name is Zhao Liying."
