Bright Era of China Entertainment

Chapter 277
Following Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi in the corridor, facing the high-end decorations everywhere, Huang Xuan felt even more nervous.

He glanced at Zhao Liying next to her. Zhao Liying's face was tense, and she looked around aimlessly. This girl who looked very big-hearted was also a little uneasy.

I don't know where the purpose ahead is, but this seems like a passage of fate, so that the two of them dare not show their anger.

But they were secretly excited.

Perhaps, this trip will change their lives.

Along the way, they saw Li Kuang, Xia Yu, Tong Dawei, Su Chang and others, all of whom were big stars. Huang Xuan and Zhao Liying were pleasantly surprised, but they didn't dare to say anything, they just looked at them quietly.

Seeing that Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi said hello to the big stars like Li Kuang, they were sent to a dressing room.

In the dressing room, there was a group of people waiting, including chief producer Zhang Jizhong, director Zhao Jian and chief screenwriter Liu Yi.

Huang Xuan and Zhao Liying didn't know anyone, but they were very familiar with Zhang Jizhong's image, but it didn't prevent them from feeling that these people were big shots.

"Teachers, Zhang Xiaofan, Gui Li, Bi Yao, it's up to you, put on your makeup and bring them to the audition." Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei led them in.

Huang Xuan was stunned, it seemed that his idea of ​​auditioning for a supporting role had failed, so he could only audition for the leading role?Are you not afraid that he is not capable enough?His heart was up and down all the time.

It doesn't matter to Zhao Liying, as long as she has the opportunity to act and become a star to make money, as for whether she will act well or not, she can't decide anyway, it all depends on the sky.

The makeup artist, hair stylist, and costume stylist looked at Huang Xuan and Zhao Liying with Zhao Jian and Liu Yi.

The female makeup artist with short hair smiled and pointed at Zhao Liying, "She will look good after makeup."

Zhao Liying blinked her eyes, will I look good with makeup on?I do not know how?
"I leave it to you." Zhang Jizhong patted Liu Yi on the shoulder. He came here to see what the newcomer Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei found looked like. Now that people have seen it, the next thing is to make up. He only looks at the audition .

Liu Yi is the chief screenwriter of "Zhu Xian", and he has the most room for imagination in the specific image of each character. It is perfect for him to stay in the dressing room to lead the specific appearance of the two important characters Zhang Xiaofan and Baguio.

Concubine Liu Yi patted Zhao Liying's shoulder, looked at Huang Xuan again, and said, "According to the teacher's arrangement, come to the audition after dressing up."

Huang Xuan was too nervous to make a sound, but just nodded.

Zhao Liying looked at Concubine Liu Yi and said, "Does makeup cost money?"

Concubine Liu Yi was startled.

The corner of Chu Xuan's mouth raised slightly, feeling amused.

The teachers couldn't help but laugh too.

"No money, it's free." Liu Yifei smiled and shook her head.

"Huang Xuan, Zhao Liying, come here." The makeup artist beckoned.

"Go." Concubine Liu Yi patted Zhao Liying on the back.

Zhao Liying walked over first, and Huang Xuan followed behind.

Zhang Jizhong and Zhao Jian walked over, and Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi also walked out with them.

"Seeing Zhao Liying, how do you feel?" Chu Xuan asked as he walked.

"If you only look at her current appearance, Zhao Liying is a pure passer-by. But her face shape is the same as Zhang Meng's, both round and pure, which fits my initial image of Baguio. Teacher Yang also said, dress up It will look good after a while, which shows that Zhao Liying's foundation is not bad." Concubine Liu Yi felt herself.

She tilted her head to look at Chu Xuan, "When we came in to see them, Zhao Liying dropped the bun in her mouth and picked it up subconsciously. That series of actions looked very funny, and it also showed that she had a weird temperament. It fits with Baguio, as for the specific image, we have to wait for her to dress up, after all, we don't have any film and television materials of Zhao Liying for reference."

Chu Xuan nodded, expressing approval.

"Where's Huang Xuan?" He asked again, walked out of the agency door, and turned to the entertainment company.

Concubine Liu Yi lowered her eyebrows and thought for a while, then walked into the entertainment company with Chu Xuan and Zhao Jian.

"Huang Xuan... at first impression, he is not very confident, not very sunny, but his state, and his current image and temperament, I can think of Ghost Li, but he is still a little bit worse than Zhang Xiaofan." She commented .

"Hey, Qianqian, your first impression of Huang Xuan is the same as mine." Zhao Jian smiled.

Chu Xuan walked in the corridor of the office area with his hands folded, and nodded slightly to the staff who greeted him one after another.

"Anyway, none of the actors recommended by email is suitable. Since everyone has come, let's wait for a few rounds of auditions." He pushed open the door of the big office where the director team was located.

"Let's have a look at the audition." Zhang Jizhong nodded and walked in.

Concubine Liu Yi and Zhao Jian came in from behind, closed the door, and sat down on chairs.

"Is anyone here?" Huang Lei looked at Chu Xuan who was sitting next to him.

"Come on, I'm putting on makeup, let's watch after the audition." Chu Xuan nodded.

Concubine Liu Yi moved the chair to make herself more comfortable.

"No matter what the audition situation is, I will send an email for an audition invitation today," she said.

Zhang Jizhong lit a cigarette and walked to the window sill, "Chu Xuan, how is the crew doing?"

He has been busy with the editing and special effects production of "Sculpture of the Gods". Although he is the chief producer of "Zhu Xian", it is also because of the training of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, and also because of his trust in Chu Xuan's ability , and let Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi exercise all the rights of producers.

As shareholders of Brilliant Times, he and Wang Jinhua are the same, naturally hope that these two people will grow up quickly.

In the past few days, Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi asked him for advice and discussion at the very beginning, but in the past month or so, the two have been working hard on their own.

As for the current situation of "Zhu Xian", he only knows the general idea, not the whole picture.

Hearing Zhang Jizhong's question, Chu Xuan looked up at him.

"The costume team is customizing the costumes, the make-up team is working with the assistant director and screenwriter team to draw up the character image, the prop team has also started preparing props, and the outsiders are also negotiating all the locations."

"As long as we distribute the list of location needs, the transportation team will transport the props and instruments to the location according to the list. The sponsorship can be taken at any time, and the life producer can bring the outsiders to take care of various chores in advance near the location. Just wait for the crew to pass by."

Zhang Jizhong propped his right hand by the half-open window, held a cigarette in his left hand, and looked sideways at Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi.

"When will the list of requirements be completed?"

Concubine Liu Yi raised her straight Erlang legs, put her hands on the table and looked at Zhang Jizhong with her chin under her chin.

"Brother Liu's script was finalized in three days, and then the screenwriter team began to divide the complete character plot script. Chu Xuan and I set the audition time to start on the [-]th. During the audition period, the production team began to make a list of location requirements according to the script. "

"The audition is expected to be one month, and the production team is expected to make a list of location requirements for 20 days. Once the list of requirements is confirmed, the list will be sent to the outreach team. The remaining ten days of the audition plus the period from the press conference will also be given. The time for the outreach team to prepare the scene and the follow-up actors' food, clothing, housing and transportation are currently under planning, and the personnel in each link have not reported any problems."

Zhang Jizhong nodded, gave Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei a thumbs up, and said, "Very good."

Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei looked at each other and smiled.

Zhao Jian, Huang Lei, and Wu Qingyuan also took a look at the two of them. During this period of time, they saw the performance of the two of them. They had made great progress, and they were also happy to see it. From the perspective of the seniors, it is admiration and expectation.

The audition time has been set, and the casting of actors has come to an end for the time being.

Nothing happened for a while, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei went over the script in the office, and chatted with the teachers from time to time about the production work.

Two hours later, the door of the office was pushed open, and everyone was watching.

Liu Yi, with a growing beer belly, stood at the door, beckoning to everyone mysteriously, "Come and see Baguio."

Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi raised their eyebrows, put down the script in their hands, stood up and walked towards the door.

"Go and have a look." Huang Lei looked forward to it, and walked out with Wen Muye, Zhao Jian, Wu Qingyuan and Zhang Jizhong.

- Dressing room.

Zhao Liying changed her clothes, had her hairstyle done, and put on her makeup.

However, she stood in front of the mirror in a daze.

Looking at herself in the mirror, she felt that what the makeup artist Teacher Yang said was right, she really looked good after putting on makeup!

Huang Xuan rested temporarily on the chair next to him. He squinted and observed Zhao Liying through the mirror in front of Zhao Liying.

I don’t know how many times he peeked at it. Looking back at Zhao Liying two hours ago, and looking at Zhao Liying now, there is only one feeling in his heart—magic.

The teachers nearby took a look at Zhao Liying. The reason for the change of the [-]th female college student is that, in addition to the clothing and hairstyle bonuses, this little girl has a good background, but she probably doesn’t know how to dress up normally. It looks very popular.

"Does it look good? Are you stunned by your own beauty?" Teacher Yang stroked her short hair and said to Zhao Liying with a smile.

Zhao Liying came back to her senses, pursed her lips, smiled in her eyes, and lowered her head slightly in embarrassment.

Teacher Yang waved at her, "Come with me, go to the audition room to face the camera and have a look with the teachers of the director team."

Director group?
The teacher who decides whether he can act or not?
Although such a moment had been expected, Zhao Liying's heart tightened when it happened.

— Audition room.

It was originally a small meeting room, but now it is temporarily used as a place for auditions, and some photographers have already set up several cameras.

In front of the viewfinder, Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei, and Zhang Jizhong were waiting.

The front door was pushed open, and Teacher Yang led Zhao Liying in.

She is wearing a green water suit, her hairstyle is parted obliquely to the right, and a silver-white ring is close to the left side of her hair. With some foundation, she looks jade-like, her hair is straightened like a waterfall, and her baby face is naturally charming. pretty.

With just one glance, Concubine Liu Yi's eyes lit up, and she kept tugging on Chu Xuan's hand, "Yes! Very Baguio!"

Liu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, and lightly touched Zhao Jian, "Can you tell it's Zhao Liying?"

Zhao Jian raised the corners of his mouth and slowly shook his head, "I'm sure you can see it, but I must say that Mr. Yang's makeup skills are really good."

Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and Zhang Jizhong were happy when they heard the words.

Huang Lei clasped his hands together and said, "I agree with what Qianqian said, it's really Baguio."

With Huang Lei's approval, Concubine Liu Yi frowned.

"Ms. Yang, let her stand in front of the camera, in four directions: front, left, right and back." Zhang Jizhong said.

Teacher Yang whispered a few words to Zhao Liying, and Zhao Liying came to the designated position and turned around in four directions.

Zhang Jizhong leaned his head and looked at the screen, "In fact, I was very nervous, but my face was very calm, and I was not affected by emotions when facing the camera. Basically, it is no problem to be on camera."

Chu Xuan nodded, "Compared with Dong Xuan, her face and figure are exactly the opposite. One is tall, one is exquisite, one is cold and arrogant, and the other is friendly. With Zhang Xiaofan as the center point, the pros and cons of Bi Yao and Lu Xueqi are just the opposite. It will be very interesting and make the audience more memorable."

Concubine Liu Yi said next to him, "With this appearance, she is a newcomer. I think she, Baguio, can amaze the audience."

Liu Yi stood behind them and said, "A suitable image, excellent character design, qualified persuasion, and a memorable plot, all together can be amazing."

"There is a problem." Zhao Jian said suddenly: "The image fit is good, but she doesn't know how to act at all. If the shooting progress is delayed, the loss may not be worth the loss."

"Brother Zhao, look at Huang Xuan before we talk." Chu Xuan looked up at him and said.

Seeing that Chu Xuan seemed to have a bottom line in his heart, Zhao Jian nodded.

Zhang Jizhong waved his hands at Teacher Yang, who tugged at Zhao Liying's sleeve and signaled her to go out.

Zhao Liying was stunned, is this the end?Two hours of makeup and two minutes of audition?She has a feeling that the makeup has turned white.

In the dressing room, Huang Xuan saw Zhao Liying walk in, he couldn't help asking, "The audition is over?"

Zhao Liying was still a little dazed, nodded, and said, "Just went in and walked around."

In a circle? ...Huang Xuan was stunned for a moment, he had never experienced an audition before, and he didn't understand what it was like to go around in circles.

"Did you say anything?" he asked again.

"I didn't say anything." Zhao Liying shook her head and sat down on the sofa.

"Huang Xuan, come." Teacher Yang waved.

"Zhao Liying, take a rest first." Teacher Yang said again.

Zhao Liying nodded, Huang Xuan took a deep breath, got up and walked out with Teacher Yang.

In the audition room, in his eyes, Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi were chatting with some big shots, seeing him come in, Qi Qi turned to look at him.

She was dressed in a light blue and white ancient dress, with a light blue belt around her waist. There was a strand of hair falling on each side of the forehead, and a smooth wig draped over her shoulders.

Huang Xuan endured the tension in his heart, and followed the camera's request to make movements and expressions.

In the eyes of Teacher Yang, it is estimated that Huang Xuan was born as a musical actor and has basic skills, which is better than Zhao Liying, a pure layman, so President Chu and the others are a little stricter.

However, in just a minute or two, Huang Xuan also stopped Zhang Xiaofan's audition and was asked to change into Ghost Li's makeup and costume.

Huang Xuan walked out with Teacher Yang, and when he saw Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi frowning and shaking their heads, he felt very uneasy.

"I'm not confident, and my eyes fluctuate when facing the camera. This shouldn't be the behavior of a musical actor." Zhao Jian shook his head.

The crowd nodded.

But Chu Xuan said: "Zhang Xiaofan is not confident either."

Everyone was startled.

Liu Yi raised his forehead slightly: "That's true. And he made a few expressions just now, full of emotion, which is the highlight."

Huang Lei smiled slightly: "Stage musicals focus on strong emotional performance to pull enough dramatic tension to present the best stage effect. He has studied for two or three years, and he can see that his acting talent is still good."

Zhang Jizhong nodded, and then pointed to the screen. On the screen was the replay of Huang Xuan's audition.

"His face can be seen to be a little firm and strong, but there is still a very important feeling missing." He commented.

"It's been many years without sunshine." Concubine Liu Yi frowned.

Zhang Jizhong raised his smiling face, tilted his head to Concubine Liu Yi and nodded, "Yes."

Chu Xuan sat on the chair, clasped his arms and said: "Huang Xuan is now a junior, his dance talent is average in school, and he is also very introverted. Compared with Zhang Xiaofan, his cultivation talent looks ordinary, there is a difference between the two. Yes. With Huang Xuan’s experience, it’s not difficult to show Zhang Xiaofan’s patience, introversion, strength and stubbornness.”

Concubine Liu Yi said next to him: "Look at how his Ghost Li is doing."

As soon as the words fell, Teacher Yang walked in with Huang Xuan.

The image didn't change at all, just a change of black ancient clothes and shawls.

Even so, Zhang Jizhong, Zhao Jian, and Liu Yi's eyes lit up.

"Ghost Li can." Zhao Jian nodded.

Zhang Jizhong took a few glances, took a picture of Chu Xuan, and said, "I saw the shadow of Murong Fu when you auditioned in this ghost."

Chu Xuan raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Zhang Jizhong.

Zhang Jizhong smiled and said: "You were only 19 years old at the time. Although your face is young, your temperament, walking posture and eyes are very mature. This is your special place. This Huang Xuan is the same, 20 years old, and changed into a dark dress. , looks very mature."

Concubine Liu Yi showed her face and said: "But Chu Xuan is different now, he can be mature or young."

Hearing this, everyone laughed, but from Chu Xuan's Murong Fu and Guan Xuan to Li Xiaoyao and Yang Guo, there has been a big change.

In their eyes, it also showed that Chu Xuan's performance level was several levels higher than that of Murong Fu's.

"I've been with you for a long time, and I've been influenced." Chu Xuan said to Concubine Liu Yi.

Concubine Liu Yi turned her head to look at him, and smiled at him.

After auditioning for a few shots, Zhang Jizhong asked Huang Xuan to go out.

Zhao Jian said: "In the list of actors recommended in the email, none of the actors is suitable for Zhang Xiaofan, because Zhang Xiaofan is young and Gui Li is mature, but Zhang Xiaofan and Gui Li are the same person, none of the young actors recommended in the email can act These two completely different temperaments."

"Producer Chu is fine." Liu Yi took a picture of Chu Xuan.

Liu Yifei, Zhang Jizhong and Huang Lei looked at Chu Xuan with a smile.

Zhao Jian joked: "Producer Chu is so handsome, he has nothing to do with Zhang Xiaofan."

Hearing this, everyone looked happy, and Chu Xuan couldn't help laughing.

Zhao Jian lowered his eyebrows and thought for a while, then said: "It's rare for a young man like Huang Xuan to have such a mature temperament. But he is only 20 years old, so he should have the side of a sunny boy. If Huang Xuan has this side, then this The growth line from Zhang Xiaofan to Ghost Li will surprise the audience."

Chu Xuan nodded and said, "Let Huang Xuan find confidence, and the Sunshine Boy will have it."

Zhang Jizhong raised his eyebrows, looked at Chu Xuan and said, "You are so optimistic about this Huang Xuan? Do you want to train him to find confidence?"

Chu Xuan shook his head, and said: "Currently there is no actor suitable for Zhang Xiaofan, Huang Xuan is currently the only actor whose image and temperament match Guili, but he is not suitable for Zhang Xiaofan for the time being. Everyone has seen Zhao Liying's Baguio image, It really fits the role of Baguio very well."

Chu Xuan turned his head to look at Zhang Jizhong, and said, "If Brother Zhang and Brother Zhao have no objections, I will let Huang Xuan and Zhao Liying go to the mountain city "Crazy Stone" crew to practice for a month, master the basic rules of the set, and run around to find For my own way of acting, I will audition after a month, it is best if I pass, but I need to change people.”

Zhang Jizhong thought for a while, nodded and said: "Although it is risky to recruit newcomers to play important roles, "Zhu Xian" is led by you and Qianqian, and it is considered your hard work, so you decide these matters, and I will not interfere. The company uses resources to train newcomers It's normal, but only if they sign the contract first."

"Naturally." Chu Xuan nodded.

He looked at Concubine Liu Yi, and suddenly a smile appeared in his eyes.

"This is what I think. If Sissi and I act as actors, it's okay. We don't have time. But now as producers, Sissy and I will follow up with the group and Brother Zhao to learn how to direct. We also have a lot of spare time. .”

"If there is a good script and a good story in the future, Sissy and I need our own cast, whether we are producers or directors."

"So, I think taking advantage of the opportunity of "Zhu Xian", we can try to train newcomers, teach them to act, and train our team."

"This is fine!" Zhao Jian smiled and agreed: "If you are willing to teach me, then I absolutely support it. At least I don't have to worry about the progress of the filming."

Zhang Jizhong looked at Chu Xuan with a smirk on his face, and said, "It's rare for a producer to teach newcomers in person, and I've never done it before. If you have the patience, you can try it. Sister has cultivated a group of strong teams like you, and you really have to think about it for the future."

Zhang Jizhong looked at Concubine Liu Yi again, and said: "The most important thing is that teaching newcomers by hand will have a very different meaning. They will call you masters in the future. With the witness of so many people in the crew, the kindness of master and apprentice cannot escape. .”

Concubine Liu Yi blinked cutely, she had no idea of ​​Chu Xuan's intentions before.

teach apprentices?
I am!
