Diamond company shoots commercials, you shoot Titanic

The first time, the second time.

On September 29, in a conference room of Oriental Media.

Five actors and three directors who played roles such as Chunsheng and Long Er sat in the conference room.

"That's all for the morning. Thank you for your hard work."

Chen Xiao closed the script.

The casting of "To Live" has been completed and entered the stage of script reading and actor training.

The casting work in the first two days went quite smoothly.

This time, the casting does not require fame or good looks, but only one condition - good acting skills.

Therefore, in addition to the actors of the entertainment company, the crew also targeted the Peking Opera and Drama Theater Troupes.

Even many old artists were invited to play supporting roles. For example, the role of the mayor was played by a national first-class actor.

At present, except for Fugui's daughter Fengxia, all the roles have been decided.

The reason why Fengxia has not been decided is that three actors with similar looks are needed to play the role of young, young and adult Fengxia.

The casting director is still looking for someone.

After finishing the script analysis work in the morning, it was already 12 o'clock.

Chen Xiao sorted out the papers in front of him.

Qiao Hong, the actor who played Chunsheng, stood up and stretched, "Director Chen, are you going to the restaurant?"

"No, I have something to do in the afternoon, you guys go ahead."

"Okay."

...

Two hours later.

Chen Xiao was sleeping soundly in the bedroom.

Suddenly, a giant holding a broom appeared in his dream, "It's three o'clock! Don't get up! Don't sleep in the middle of the night and don't get up during the day."

Chen Xiao opened his eyes instantly.

Three o'clock?

He sat up suddenly and heard his mother knocking on the door outside, "Aren't you going to the crew of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" this afternoon? Why aren't you up at three o'clock?"

My father came to fish yesterday, and my mother came to give him the specialties brought by relatives, and the two stayed last night. Mom didn't have classes today and hadn't returned to her hometown yet.

Chen Xiao touched his phone and opened it.

14:01.

There are still nine minutes before the scheduled wake-up time.

Haha, it's three o'clock. Mothers really have a unique understanding of time.

Forget it, I won't sleep.

Chen Xiao opened the door, yawned, and went downstairs to the cloakroom.

Weng Manxia followed behind, nagging: "You played games until three o'clock last night? How old are you, don't you know how to restrain yourself from playing games? Sleeping at this time, your body..."

Just then, a rhythmic electronic sound interrupted her nagging.

"The master works hard day and night, and still arranges troops through games late at night. The master's extraordinary foresight and great strategy have stabilized the company and the industry. The circle is becoming more and more peaceful, and the master is indeed a talent for all ages!"

Weng Manxia paused as she went downstairs, and the whole person was stunned, staring at the robot in a daze.

Aren't young people nowadays so crazy?

Playing games in the middle of the night, and letting the robot say that he arranges troops and has a long-term strategy?

This... still has shame?

This robot is really, a traitor, full of flattery.

Just as she stared at Xiaobai with unkind eyes, she heard Xiaobai say again:

"Xiaobai understands the master's painstaking efforts, and I hope the master will focus on the dragon body, and relax appropriately while conquering cities and territories!"

Uh, is it persuading Chen Xiao to go to bed early?

It doesn't seem to be a traitor, is it encouraging education?

I have to say, its words may really work better than nagging myself?

With this in mind, Weng Manxia walked down the stairs, frowning and looking at the robot carefully.

In the cloakroom next to him, Chen Xiao flipped through his coats one by one.

He will go to the crew of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" later.

Because there are too many roles and there are a lot of actors auditioning, in order not to interfere with the operation of the company, Fang Rong and others decided to audition at the film and television city.

He will go for a walk. There are too many people in the film and television city, so he has to dress low-key.

"Low-key, which one will not be conspicuous?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Xiaobai behind him say: "Master, are you going to visit incognito? Xiaobai recommends this one."

Chen Xiao turned his head and saw Xiaobai holding a dark blue coat.

This one is indeed good, and the pure black one is more conspicuous.

"Okay, this is it."

Chen Xiao took the coat with satisfaction.

It must be said that after Xiaobai turned on the loyal minister mode, he gave a series of unpleasant advice, and it felt like his life had been extended.

As expected of a loyal minister, he will prolong his life and contribute to his great cause. !

…

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

Chen Xiao and Chi Yu took the company's car and came to the Ming and Qing Dynasty Palace Theme Film and Television City.

Outside the car window, palaces were scattered in an orderly manner.

Above the red wall, the roof was covered with yellow tiles, and the eaves were high.

Soon

The car drove to the area rented by the crew.

After parking the car and walking into the yard, I saw sixty or seventy actors standing outside in seven or eight groups.

Most of them were actresses, each beautiful in their own way.

Some characters wore simple Qing Dynasty costumes, while others wore modern clothes.

Chi Yu sighed, "So beautiful, I understand the emperor a little bit."

As soon as he said that, he suddenly realized that he might have said something wrong, and quickly turned back.

"No, Director Chen, I don't mean anything else, I just simply appreciate the actors' good looks. Appreciation, pure appreciation."

In the entertainment industry, competition is fierce, and some people abuse their power for personal gain.

The stage of selecting actors is one of the stages with the most primitive desire transactions.

He also wants to protect his feathers.

Chen Xiao asked, "It's not easy to be an emperor. Have you read the script?"

Chi Yu nodded, "I read the beginning before coming here. The queen is gentle, Concubine Hua is domineering but cute, and Zhen Huan is well-read. Now I understand what the emperor said to Zhen Huan: If I were not the emperor, I would just be a rich prince, with the queen as a virtuous wife, and you and Shi Lan as two beautiful concubines, that would be enough. However, this is the emperor's perspective. I am an honest man."

Chen Xiao pursed his lips.

The queen is a virtuous wife, and Zhen Huan and Nian Shi Lan are two beautiful concubines?

Indeed, it is enough.

Enough to kill his whole family.

Chen Xiao patted Chi Yu's shoulder, "The queen killed the children, Concubine Hua killed the concubines, and Zhen Huan killed the emperor."

"Ah?"

Chi Yu was shocked.

Ah? Ah?

Wait a minute, his CPU is a little burned.

The emperor likes these three, and these three also like the emperor, right?

Then the three people together can massacre the city?

Chi Yu looked at the actors waiting for the audition, with a little more awe in his eyes.

If there were more of them, the Qing Dynasty would have fallen...

However, he had never been with the crew of a costume drama. Putting aside the content, the costumes and makeup were very novel to the staff.

No wonder Director Fang liked to shoot ancient times, it was really interesting.

The two continued to walk forward, and just a few steps away they met the assistant director who was walking out with a list.

After saying hello, Chi Yu asked, "Brother Wang, where is Director Fang?"

Old Wang had dark circles under his eyes and sighed, "Director Fang is resting. The casting lasted until 12 o'clock last night, and he was so tired that he took a quick-acting heart-saving pill at night. We will slow down today."
