Bright Era of China Entertainment

Chapter 284 The audition is over
Beijing, a bright era.

In Audition Room 2, Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei, Zhao Jian and the others sat in front of the viewfinder and waited for the actors to audition.

After 20 days of audition, most of the important roles have been matched with corresponding actors, and the actors who have passed the audition have also signed performance contracts with the crew.

If there are no accidents, or if Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei's vision is alright, then today will be their last day of audition.

Concubine Liu Yi flipped through the audition list, glanced at the names of a few actors, raised her eyebrows and looked at Chu Xuan and said, "Luo Jin is next."

"North Film Acting Department, Grade 02." Zhao Jian glanced at the information, and smiled at the two of them, "Your classmates?"

Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi nodded.

"Luo Jin and Zhu Yawen are all okay, why don't you consider signing them?" Huang Lei asked.

"They signed with other companies in their sophomore year, otherwise they would have signed them together when they signed Boge." Chu Xuan said.

Huang Lei understood and nodded.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and the staff led Luo Jin in.

Luo Jin saw Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi at a glance, both of them smiled, and Concubine Liu Yi also waved her hand to express her welcome.

"Hi teachers, my name is Luo Jin, and I am here to audition for Zeng Shushu."

"Let's start." Zhao Jian said.

The role of Zeng Shushu is handsome, humorous, and talented.

After Zhang Xiaofan betrayed Qingyunmen and turned into Ghost Li, his brother Lin Jingyu, who had been playing since he was a child, felt some estrangement towards Zhang Xiaofan, but Zeng Shushu didn't, and still regarded Zhang Xiaofan as his best brother.

Therefore, it is very pleasing to have this character well formed.

And the biggest characteristic of this character is humorous.

Perhaps the screenwriter teachers were lazy, and their understanding of humor had some deviations. They abruptly added a lot of plots like Zeng Shushu's gags and an ignorant gangster, making this character more market-oriented and unrefined.

In the later changes, all these useless plots were removed, and the image of Zeng Shushu as a handsome young man and the second generation of immortals was broken back.

The so-called humor is reflected in the language lines of the characters, and a unified stylized adjustment has been made.

In other words, Zeng Shushu only needs to say some funny lines in a serious manner, and the characteristics of the characters can still be highlighted.

After the audition, Zhao Jian waved his hand and ticked off the list.

Chu Xuan gave Luo Jin a thumbs up, and Luo Jin returned a thumbs up, opened the door and walked out.

"Luo Jin is usually pretty funny, he shouldn't be bad playing Zeng Shushu." Huang Lei laughed.

"His image looks like a rich second generation at first glance, and it fits well with Zeng Shushu, the second generation of immortals." Zhao Jian said.

"This also shows that he is not suitable for low-level roles at present, and he has to work hard." Huang Lei said.

After chatting for a while, the door was pushed open, and the auditioned actors walked in.

"Hello, teachers. My name is Chen Chuang. I'm here to audition for Taoist Wild Dog," Chen Chuang said.

"Let's start." Zhao Jian said.

Chu Xuan looked at Chen Chuang who was in the audition, and he was also a brother of Beiying who was a few years older than him and Concubine Liu Yi, and he couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

In the script, the plot of the character of Taoist Wild Dog has been changed, and the role of the scene has been aggravated.

Daoist Wild Dog has lived with wild dogs since he was a child, and called them brothers and sisters. After joining the Devil's Sect Blood Refining Hall, he realized what it's like to be a human being and what it's like to be at home.

The Blood Refining Hall was destroyed by Gui Li, and Daoist Wild Dog vowed not to surrender, this loyalty moved Gui Li, so he let him go.

Finally, in the changed plot, he met Zhou Xiaohuan three times and was moved by Zhou Xiaohuan's innocence and purity, so he decided to protect Zhou Xiaohuan for the rest of his life.

The existence of this character reveals the difficulty of survival of the bottom-level characters in the world of Xianxia in "Zhu Xian", which is in sharp contrast with other high-ranking characters.

At the same time, the loyalty and love and righteousness of this low-level character are compared with those of the superior people who only act for their own interests, forming a human irony.

It also adds to the core idea of ​​"the world is not benevolent and treats everything as a humble dog", which is a relatively important role.

In order to highlight the difficulty of its survival and make the characters more three-dimensional by the way, the actors need to film with dogs.

In other words, the wild dog Taoist lived with wild dogs in the past, and the plot of calling wild dogs brothers and sisters is going to be filmed.

Because of this, Chu Xuan sent out a lot of audition invitations, but the senior brother in front of him dared to come, and the rest of the actors refused.

After the audition, seeing Chen Chuang leave, Zhao Jian ticked off the list.

Huang Lei shook his head and said, "It's a pity for Chen Chuang. In terms of acting talent, he is better than most of his peers, but he just lacks luck."

Zhao Jian nodded and said: "When I was directing "Baolian Lantern", his Xiaotiangou was simply amazing, his ability to imitate objects was really strong, and he made the Xiaotiangou come alive."

Liu Yi turned around and changed his sitting position, and said, "Wild Dog Daoist is the most suitable for him to play."

Zhao Jian flipped through the list and said, "This role can be brilliant, and the audience will resonate with it if it is played well."

The crowd nodded.

After chatting for a while, another actor came to audition.

After taking a look, Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi stood up to show their welcome.

Lan Tianye, Jiang Ziya in the 90 edition of "Feng Shen Bang", was praised by the audience at the time as an old fairy with a strong sense of demeanor, and is now 85 years old.

When Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei called to invite, they only said that they could come directly to the set when the time came, and there was no need to come to audition for Zhou Yixian, but unexpectedly, the old man insisted on coming, saying that the rules should not be broken, and that the audition should still be done.

The character of Zhou Yixian has a clean face and white beard and hair. Just looking at his appearance can make people feel awe.

But it is such a character design, but there is a strong contrast in personality.

Timid, greedy for money, and very funny.

This role is very difficult to play. If young and middle-aged people are allowed to play it, Chu Xuan thinks it will be greasy. If the performance is not good, it will lose the demeanor of "immortal", and it is difficult to control the character.

At that time, Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi wanted to find an old man, a real old artist to act.

Just like the current old man Lan Tianye, he definitely meets the standards of immortality, and if such an artist does some petty behaviors, the audience will not be disgusted, but will find it interesting.

The staff sent the old man away, and Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi sat down and chatted.

"This is a real artist. I didn't expect to come here and understand the characters so thoroughly." Huang Lei sighed.

"The character of Zhou Yixian is very complicated after a major change. Most people really can't act out the feeling of seeing the world and being disturbed by reincarnation." Zhao Jiandao.

Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi smiled slightly and nodded in approval.

In the original book, the character Zhou Yixian is very mysterious, and many behaviors are not explained.

This may be the foreshadowing of the novel, but TV dramas cannot be filmed like this.

"Zhu Xian" in the script is a complete world view, so everything about all the characters must be complete.

Therefore, the role of Zhou Xian needs to be adjusted and changed.

In the current script, among the first seven veins of Qingyunmen, one of them died and one disappeared, which became the current five veins.

And the lineage of physiognomy that disappeared at the beginning, the inheritor is none other than Zhou Xian.

Zhou Yixian's talent in physiognomy is astonishing. One day, he saw through the secrets of heaven and earth, the secrets between heaven and earth, and the future.

Things in the future are not good for Qingyunmen, and they are not good for the righteous way. Zhou Yixian has evolved countless times, but he can't change everything. He only said "the world can be broken, and reincarnation is unpredictable", so he left Qingyunmen alone and stepped into the world of mortals. Good and evil things, regardless of the practice of Taoism.

This is the reason why Zhou Yixian left Qing Yunmen after the adaptation, and it is also the reason why Zhou Yixian seems to know everything in the world.

With this underlying logic, when the time comes to film these original plots based on the adaptation with memories, at least the audience will be able to understand why Zhou Yixian is so good, instead of being confused.

At this time, the door was pushed open, and Chen Daoming walked in.

He auditioned for Daoxuan, with white beard and hair, tall and straight figure, with a calm and majestic appearance, and his powerful aura swept Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi through his eyes.

"Teacher Chen, standing here is Daoxuan." Zhao Jian praised, but he was telling the truth.

"Mr. Chen, have you been kidnapped to play a supporting role?" Huang Lei said indifferently, Chen Daoming came to play Daoxuan, he didn't even need to think about it, it must have something to do with Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi.

Chen Daoming smiled lightly when he heard the words, and said, "I've been entangled by two little guys, there's nothing I can do."

Everyone laughed and looked at Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi.

Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi kept their mouths shut, but there was a smile in their eyes.

For the role of Zhou Xian, they decided to invite Teacher Lan Tianye before deciding on Daoxuan.

And when drafting Daoxuan's actors, they also immediately thought of the older generation of artists.

However, Daoxuan has a wia show, and it is really inappropriate for seventy-eighty-year-old old people to play wia.

So, after dropping a notch in age, they immediately thought of Chen Daoming.

After all, Daoxuan is the head of the Qingyun sect, and he can beat Wang Jinsong, Liu Yijun, Tang Zhenzong, Meng Guangmei, and Yang Niansheng, who are the heads of the five peaks of the Qingyun sect. They really can't think of any other actors in their 50s who have this aura up.

Originally, I was going to invite Chen Daoming to his home, but at that time Chen Daoming was away on business and away from home.

In the end, when Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi called each other for several days, Chen Daoming said "I really have nothing to do with you", and then agreed.

After the audition, Chen Daoming said to Chu Xuan, "Daoxuan and Zhang Xiaofan had a lot of scenes with each other. I heard that Zhang Xiaofan is a newcomer?"

Chu Xuan nodded.

"Jin Hua said, are you going to teach this newcomer?" Chen Daoming asked again.

Chu Xuan nodded again.

"If he doesn't perform well, I'm going to scold him." Chen Daoming said, a sly flash of slyness flashed in his eyes, but it was actually a joke to Chu Xuan.

Everyone was happy when they heard the words, and looked at Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan chuckled a little and was teased by Chen Daoming, which was rare, so he felt a little funny about it.

Chen Daoming walked out of the audition room, and after a while, the door was pushed open, and Yang Tianzhen came in.

"Sister Tian Zhen, are Huang Xuan and Zhao Liying here?" Concubine Liu Yi said happily.

"Here, I'm putting on makeup." Yang Tianzhen nodded.

"Go to the dressing room and talk about it, and ask them to audition with Dong Xuan later." Chu Xuan said.

"Okay." Yang Tianzhen closed the door and left, speaking for Chu Xuan.

"I've been practicing for nearly a month, wait and see what changes." Huang Lei said.

Hearing this, Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi looked at each other, each looking forward to it.

Huang Xuan and Zhao Liying were determined by the two of them, and they were sent to the film crew of "Crazy Stone" in the mountain city to study for a period of time. If there is no change and no progress, then it is really unreasonable.

Not long after, Huang Xuan and Zhao Liying followed Dong Xuan in.

Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi glanced at Dong Xuan first, and Dong Xuan smiled back. They both had contacts in school. Although they didn't have a deep friendship, they were still acquaintances.

They looked at Huang Xuan and Zhao Liying again. The eyes of these two people flickered slightly, excited, happy, and confident.

Seeing this, Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi laughed.

"Huang Xuan." Huang Lei shouted.

Huang Xuan shifted his eyes and looked over.

"Finally, the sun is shining, and it's no longer lifeless. Tell me, what did Huang Bo take you to do?" Huang Lei asked with great interest.

Hearing his question, Huang Xuan raised his mouth slightly.

Just such a small action made Zhao Jian and the others feel Huang Xuan's progress.

When he came to the audition for the first time, Huang Xuan never smiled from the beginning to the end.

It's a change, but a good one.

"Playing basketball, playing cards, drinking, bragging." Huang Xuan was very honest and told everything truthfully.

Zhao Liying on the side covered her mouth and laughed.

The two of them went to the crew of "Crazy Time" to study. The people in the crew heard that they were arranged by their idols and treated them very well.

The most important thing is that the actors of Brother Bo are super funny. While they are studying, their lives are also full of laughter.

Hearing Huang Xuan's words, everyone also felt full of fun.

"Brother Bo is fine. Letting him take someone with him really brought about a change." Chu Xuan was very satisfied with Huang Xuan's change.

"He has experienced a lot, and there is still a way to make a person confident. Not to mention anything else, just his mouth can make you confident, just like a pyramid scheme." Huang Bo said behind Chu Xuan.

Hearing this, Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi were full of smiles.

Under Zhao Jian's words, Dong Xuan, Huang Xuan and Zhao Liying began to audition one by one.

Lu Xueqi is the absolute heroine of "Zhu Xian", and Zhao Jian and the others have relatively high requirements for Dong Xuan's audition.

However, when drafting the cast, Zhao Jian immediately supported Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi's choice of Lu Xueqi as Dong Xuan.

Leaving aside the exchange of benefits in terms of resources, Dong Xuan's body and martial arts-related physical foundation are very good after having experienced many dramas with martial arts.

For Lu Xueqi, who has a lot of martial arts moves, this is undoubtedly a big plus.

Therefore, apart from the fit of characters, Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu also chose Dong Xuan among Gao Yuanyuan, Zuo Xiaoqing, Jia Qing, Jiang Qinqin and others.

"Yes." Zhao Jian nodded, he was very satisfied after Dong Xuan danced a sword.

In his opinion, there are not many actresses with this background. Concubine Liu Yi is one, and so is Dong Xuan. As for other actresses, most martial arts dramas are synthesized by post-editing. No Concubine Liu Yi and Dong Xuan can do it coherently. action.

As for Huang Xuan and Zhao Liying, as newcomers, they were able to successfully complete the audition content smoothly and memorize all the lines.

Although the performance is definitely worse than that of professional actors, but based on the state of the performance and the performance a month ago, it has improved a lot.

"Additional test? Look at other aspects?" Liu Yi asked.

"Pure newcomers, what's the use of additional tests? There are no previous works to give us a reference for interpretation." Zhao Jian shook his head.

"I'll teach when I come to the production crew. I will teach the next day's scenes in advance, and follow the requirements of "Sculpture of God". If I don't meet the emotional standards at that time, I won't sleep." Chu Xuan laughed.

"And me." Concubine Liu Yi smiled sweetly.

Hearing what Chu Xuan said, everyone looked happy.

Zhao Jian patted Chu Xuan's shoulder and said, "Just wait for your words, anyway, don't delay my shooting."

He signaled to the staff, Huang Xuan, Zhao Liying and Dong Xuan followed the staff to leave.

Watching them leave, Huang Lei twisted his shoulders and said, "It's all done."

"When will the press conference be decided?" He took a sip of mineral water, put the mineral water on the stool beside him, and glanced at Chu Xuan again.

"Number 11." Chu Xuan replied.

"Singles' Day." Liu Yi smiled.

The corner of Liu Yifei's mouth curled up. The casting director's audition was not as fast as theirs. After all, there were many small roles and special guest actors to audition, but it would be over in just a few days.

She and Chu Xuan estimated the time, and also prepared time for the media who sent the invitation. She and Chu Xuan had a little fun, and after the audition was over, they planned to set the date of the launch conference on November 11.

"National? Where is the location?" Huang Lei stood up.

Chu Xuan nodded, and said, "There are media from both sides of the strait and three places. It's at the Shangri-La Hotel in Beijing, which is convenient."

"When will the crew leave?" Zhao Jian asked.

"I discussed it with Chu Xuan. If today goes well, it will be tomorrow." Liu Yifei replied, she raised her hand and looked at her watch, "Tomorrow at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the life producer will take people to the company's four buses He and the two rented trucks took the machine away, and Angkor also went to say hello."

"The first stop is Laojun Mountain in Luoyang. I heard that the scenery there is beautiful." Huang Lei stretched.

"You are a producer, and you want to see the scenery. There is a problem with your work mentality." Chu Xuan joked.

Everyone laughed.

Huang Lei grinned, reached out and punched Chu Xuan.

"Let's go, teachers have worked hard." Concubine Liu Yi stood up.

"Let's have a meal together." Chu Xuan got up and said.

"Producer Chu, please have a big meal? Is there any good wine?" Liu Yi said.

"Enough." Chu Xuan raised the corner of his mouth.

"Then let's go." Huang Lei turned around at the door and said.

Everyone went out, Chu Xuan took Concubine Liu Yi's hand and walked in front, and called Zhang Jizhong and Yu Min by the way.

In this way, a group of people came to the underground parking lot talking and laughing, got in the car and went to the hotel, also celebrating the successful completion of the audition.
