Bright Era of China Entertainment

Chapter 44
The Tang Jili director in front of Chu Xuan is an action director from Xiangjiang. Since the early 90s, he directed a movie starring Cheng Long and became famous overnight. Over the past ten years, he has become internationally famous.

In the eyes of the Chinese people, Tang Jili may not be as famous as Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kaige and Zhang Jizhong.

But there is a small difference between Tang Jili and these great domestic entertainment directors. Tang Jili can make money from foreigners, and foreigners buy it.

Moreover, Tang Jili and Chenglong, good partners, have a common vision, that is, to promote Chinese-language action movies to the world and achieve success.

From the perspective of Chu Xuan's previous life, their vision was not completely successful, but it was at least half successful. After all, many foreign movie fans knew that there was a superstar in Huaguo, Jack Cheng, and gave him a thumbs up.

"Director Tang, this is Chu Xuan."

"Chu Xuan, this is the director of Tang Jili. He is very powerful and often cooperates with Chenglong."

After Wang Jinhua's introduction, Chu Xuan raised a smiling face and said very politely: "Hi, Director Tang, I'm Chu Xuan, it's an honor to meet you."

Just like in the TV interview, Tang Jili smiled very friendly.

He took the initiative to extend his hand, and when Chu Xuan stretched out his hand to shake him, he smiled and said: "To be pushed by Jin Hua, and to be given a [completely amazing] evaluation by director Zhang Jizhong, he must be a young and promising young man."

Chu Xuan was very humble: "Director Tang has won the award, I am just a newcomer, and I still have a lot to learn."

Tang Jili nodded slightly, and gave Wang Jinhua a wink.

Wang Jinhua understood, and said to Chu Xuan and Yang Tianzhen, "Sit down first."

After saying hello, she and Tang Jili walked aside to talk, while Chu Xuan and Yang Tianzhen sat down on the sofa in the living room.

2 minutes later.

Tang Jili walked out of the hotel room, Wang Jinhua turned around and sat down beside Chu Xuan.

"Tang Jili is the producer of "Male Talent and Female Appearance". After my team found out about this news, I contacted Director Tang because of Chenglong's relationship. With Chenglong's relationship, Director Tang helped me make an appointment with the producer. Fang, I finally negotiated the cooperation, and Director Tang also helped a little."

Hearing Wang Jinhua's words, Chu Xuan understood.

He probably knows a thing or two about the important actors in the show "Male Talents and Female Appearance", but he doesn't know who the director is, who the producer is, and who the screenwriter is.

No wonder I met Tang Jili here. It turns out that Tang Jili is the producer of this drama.

At this point, Chu Xuan understood.

"As long as you have no problem with the audition, Tang Jili and the director of this show Jiang Jiajun, including the producer, have no objection to your playing the leading role. However, the producer is the producer, and the investor is the investor. Several employers seem to have objections.”

After Wang Jinhua's words fell, Yang Tianzhen was slightly startled, and her heart tightened.

This is her first play as Chu Xuan's assistant, if there is no play, she will naturally be very disappointed.

Chu Xuan frowned slightly, and then relaxed, with a calm expression on his face.

The reason why he was calm was because he knew that it was useless to worry.

He is not yet qualified to intervene in the capital market.

It's better to let it go and take it lightly.

Wang Jinhua smiled lightly, and said: "Tang Ji said that as long as you pass the audition, he, the director Jiang Jiajun, and the production team will help you talk. However, I will go and see what is the specific situation. , You have to pass the audition before talking."

Chu Xuan nodded, changed the topic, and asked with a smile: "Sister, do you know Brother Chenglong very well?"

Wang Jinhua smiled: "It's not bad. When I went to Xiangjiang to sign people, I asked Chenglong if he would like to be my artist."

Yang Tianzhen's expression froze.

Signing a contract with Brother Chenglong?

Dare to think.

"Master is the master, amazing!" Yang Tianzhen admired her.

Chu Xuan gave a thumbs up, feeling amused: "Sister, you are awesome. You have dug people on Brother Chenglong, no wonder you are the No. and courage."

The smile on Wang Jinhua's face deepened, and she said: "But obviously, I failed. I don't have the international resources that Chenglong needs. But some of your big brothers and sisters are doing well in the Hong Kong circle. Through these bonds, I and Chenglong Long is also becoming more and more familiar. Chenglong and Tang Jili are very good friends, so Tang Jili is willing to help me, and this has become a new network of contacts."

Chu Xuan smiled and nodded.

Get to know someone, and the person this person knows may become your friend again, and this cycle repeats, and a large network of contacts is opened up.

Slowly manage, that intricate network of contacts may make a person invincible.

However, managing contacts is a very profound knowledge.

As the saying goes, thousands of people have thousands of faces, if you can handle it, everyone will be happy; if you can't handle it, your connections will collapse overnight.

At this time, Tang Jili opened the door from the outside, and instead of walking in, he beckoned to Chu Xuan.

"Xiao Chu, come to audition."

Chu Xuan got up with a smile on his face.

"Chu Xuan, come on." Yang Tianzhen was a little worried, and she was a little worried when she heard Wang Jinhua say that the management opposed Chu Xuan as the male lead.

"Go." Wang Jinhua raised a smiling face, the current matter will be resolved immediately, and the next matter will be discussed later, she also behaved completely indifferently.

- Hotel corridor.

Chu Xuan followed Tang Jili.

Tang Ji said while walking: "Director Zhang Jizhong applauds you, at least it shows that you have solid acting skills, and urban idol dramas don't need strong acting skills from actors. You can decide for yourself in the next audition, so I won't say much. .”

"Okay." Chu Xuan nodded.

Tang Ji said again: "Besides, as long as your demeanor, temperament, and appearance match the personality, then the audition is just a cutscene, don't worry or be nervous, just behave as you want."

"Thank you Director Tang, I understand." Chu Xuan expressed his understanding.

……

A hotel suite dedicated to auditions, with the door ajar ajar, was clearly open.

Tang Jili pushed the door and entered, and when Chu Xuan approached, he closed the door with his backhand.

In the living room of the suite, several cameras were set up as lenses, and the half-circle sofa was full of people.

Chu Xuan took a few unobservable glances, and knew that this suite was used to audition for important roles, otherwise there would be no need for so many people to sit.

Come to think of it, some supporting roles were auditioned in other rooms.

And when Chu Xuan walked in, a group of people on the sofa also looked at him in unison.

"It looks pretty good." The producer said with a smile.

"I heard you're only 19 years old? Could it be inconsistent with the male lead's design?" The management staff frowned.

"Mr. Zhang, without knowing his information in advance, can you tell that he is only 19 years old?" Director Cai Jiajun smiled.

"Indeed, this young man has a really good temperament, better than the actors who auditioned for the lead role a few days ago." The casting director smiled.

"Let's talk about it after watching the audition." Another person from the management said indifferently.

Chu Xuan bowed politely and greeted a group of bigwigs. Tang Jili gave him an encouraging look, then went to sit on the sofa, and Chu Xuan's audition began.

Auditions for costume dramas require changing costumes and makeup, because it depends on whether the actors are photogenic in the camera and whether they match the appearance of the characters.

Urban dramas were not so troublesome. The crew did not ask Chu Xuan to change clothes, nor did they ask Chu Xuan to put on makeup.

Chu Xuan was wearing his original clothes, a black blouse and black trousers, the blouse was tucked into the trousers, and a black belt was tied around the waist of the trousers.

In this way, Chu Xuan started his performance.

If it is said that Murong Fu in "Dragon Babu" can make him stand in the hearts of the audience as an acting character, then "Male Talents and Women's Appearance" is a traffic drama that has rapidly increased his popularity.

Chu Xuan's understanding of this is very clear.

Chu Xuan also felt that Lu Yi played well in the original version.

However, Chu Xuan has a natural advantage in playing this role.

The hero of "Male Talents and Female Appearance" is Qiu Shi, a CEO.

Unlike the domineering president in the idol dramas on Treasure Island, Qiu Shi, the president, is not domineering, indifferent, or inexplicably domineering. Instead, he is gentle, elegant, indifferent, warm-hearted, and a gentleman.

When Chu Xuan got the script, after a little reading, he discovered these characteristics of the characters.

Since the character design is like this, then Chu Xuan no longer needs to think about the character to find the status like he did during the audition for Murong Fu.

Gentle, elegant, indifferent, warm man, gentleman?
Chu Xuan said that he can act in his true colors, and the words described for the male protagonist seem to be tailor-made for him, and they fit him perfectly.

——If you don't blow up, you won't be black.

As far as he is concerned, it is great that he can act easily and fill up the audience's perception.

And as Tang Jili said just now, this audition is like a cutscene.

When Chu Xuan finished the audition and walked out of the suite under the sign of the staff, a group of bigwigs were ready to start communicating.

It's just that Tang Jili, director Cai Jiajun, and the producers were all smiling, as if they were very satisfied with Chu Xuan, but the managers were as normal as usual.

It was raining outside, and the raindrops were beating against the windows.

For a while, the atmosphere seemed a little cold.

It has been raining, and the atmosphere is not harmonious.
