Diamond company shoots commercials, you shoot Titanic

Chi Yu was stunned.

Just after saying it was novel and interesting, the director collapsed?

Chen Xiao frowned slightly, "Is the schedule so full?"

Lao Wang yawned with his hands covering his mouth and nodded.

"Sorry, sorry, I couldn't help yawning. He has scheduled himself very full. Why don't you try to persuade him? This old Fang is so old, but he still thinks he is a young man."

This casting is different from the previous ones.

In the past, there were few main roles, and basically multiple actors auditioned for one role.

But this time there are many roles, and many actors will audition for multiple roles.

The crew will judge which role is suitable based on the performance of the actors in multiple roles. This is a great mental drain on the director and the casting team.

The three chatted for a few more sentences.

The assistant director went to organize the actors, and the two pushed the door and walked into the room.

Just as he was about to go to the lounge upstairs to see Fang Rong, when he passed by an actor's lounge, Chen Xiao caught a glimpse of a figure.

"Chi Yu, you go up first, I'll go in a while."

"Okay."

Chen Xiao turned and turned into the actor's lounge, walking towards a middle-aged man sitting on the sofa holding a document with a sad face.

The teacher's name is Zhong Yaowen.

When he was young, he acted in many idol dramas and won the Golden Bell Award for Best Actor. He is a real acting school.

Chen Xiao has never worked with him, but he met him at a film festival.

He remembered that this teacher had been developing in Taiwan Province, and he didn't expect to see him in the crew.

"Teacher Zhong, long time no see."

The man turned around, put down the documents in his hand, stood up and forced a smile, "Director Chen, long time no see."

Chen Xiao shook hands with him, "Please sit down."

As he spoke, Chen Xiao sat opposite him, looked at his expression, and asked, "Teacher Zhong, what happened to you?"

Zhong Yaowen sighed, patted his thigh, and a hint of anger appeared on his face.

"Fang Rong, that..."

Zhong Yaowen's face was a little red, and he sighed again halfway through his words.

After a moment of silence, he looked at Chen Xiao.

"Director Chen, I know you have a good relationship with Director Fang, and I'm not afraid of you telling him. This is not talking behind his back, right? I'll tell you straight. Old Fang is such a bitch! I haven't seen him for three or four years, and I thought he was stable and mature, but he's getting more and more bitchy!"

Chen Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Calm down, why don't you tell me what happened?"

Zhong Yaowen took a deep breath and explained:

"You know, I've been developing in Taiwan before, and my contract with the company expires this year. I want to develop in the mainland, and this just happened to catch up with the casting of "The Legend of Zhen Huan"? I flew here three days ago."

Chen Xiao nodded, picked up the teapot and disposable water cup in front of him, poured himself a cup, and filled up the cup for Zhong Yaowen opposite.

Zhong Yaowen leaned forward and picked up the cup, "Director Chen, you are too polite, I will do it myself."

"I will just pour myself a cup, it's just a matter of convenience, please don't be polite, continue."

Zhong Yaowen took a sip of tea and continued:

"From yesterday to today, I have tried the roles of a prince, a senior official of the court, and a Khan. I tried whatever Fang Rong asked me to try. I also told him from the bottom of my heart that I had always played the role of a father before, and my acting range has become narrower and narrower in recent years. I tried my best to cooperate with him."

"What did he do in the end?"

"He smiled like a flower and said to me, who are we brothers?"

"I'll give you a good role. There are more than 700 scenes, and you have the most scenes except for the male and female protagonists. But there is only one requirement, you need to shave your head."

"Shave your head? What's the big deal about shaving your head? Hair does not belong to actors. Is this still a requirement?"

"I agreed directly in front of more than ten people."

"Director Chen, I've seen your previous plays. There are relatively few main roles. Basically, multiple actors choose one role, right?"

Chen Xiao nodded, "Yes."

Zhong Yaowen continued:

"Then you may not have experienced this casting mode. We actors get script fragments of the audition roles, which contain information such as the character's background, personality, and motivation. But the final role may be one that you have never played before."

"This mode is quite common, so I didn't think much about it."

"Out of trust in him, I went to sign the contract."

"I also read it carefully. Well, there are more than 700 scenes, and the price is not bad."

"After I signed it, I took a look at the script and found out that it was a eunuch."

Speaking of this, Zhong Yaowen was speechless and spread his hands, "Who would have thought that he asked me to try the prince, the Khan, and the minister, and finally gave me a eunuch?"

"It's a eunuch, it's my fault for not asking carefully, I admit it."

"But just

Just before you came, I was reading the script, and I saw…”

Zhong Yaowen flipped through the folded script, “Episode 12, more than 700 scenes, yes, there are indeed a lot of scenes, but almost all of them are background boards, standing next to the emperor.”

“I am an actor after all, and I am also the idol of middle-aged and elderly women, right? I used to be the male lead in idol dramas, and he asked me to play a eunuch.”

“Tell me, is there anyone as deceiving as him? "

As he spoke, Zhong Yaowen sighed, leaned forward, put his elbows on his knees, and covered his stomach with his right hand.

Fang Rong, that bitch, really made his stomach ache.

And he also tricked him into signing a contract, really using all the disgusting tricks in the entertainment industry.

Breach of contract fee and favors, two ropes tied him up, it's really invincible when a person is too mean!

He used to be more restrained, but now that he has a backer, his true nature is exposed!

Thinking of this, the empty cup in his left hand was deformed by squeezing, and water splashed all over his hand.

"Teacher Zhong, please calm down. "

Chen Xiao put a pack of tissues in front of him.

I think Mr. Zhong is so angry that he almost can't breathe, right?

Mr. Zhong said that it doesn't matter if it's a eunuch, what makes him angry is the background. But in the end, it's obvious that he is still angry about the eunuch.

Yes, he used to play the role of a domineering boss, and when he was older, he also played the role of the domineering boss's father.

It would be strange if he didn't feel unwilling.

Chen Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Zhong, Director Fang is doing this for your own good."

"No, I really..." Zhong Yaowen leaned on the sofa and raised his hand to cover his face.

Chen Xiao felt that this uncle was about to cry, and said quickly:

"Su Peisheng does not have many scenes in the first ten episodes. You can watch it later and rest assured."

"In a sense, this is the most manly role in the whole play."

"Fang Rong's character cannot be trusted, but my character, you can always trust it, right?"

"Although Su Peisheng never straightened his back and never said the word "I" in the whole play, his character is very good. ”

“Careful and deeply emotional.”

“From these two characteristics, ordinary people really can’t play it. Only someone like you who is an actor can play it.”

“I’ll say one more thing, please don’t mind. As long as the actors are in front of the camera, they are not background boards, but roles.”

“If you play it well, you will definitely become popular. It will be of great benefit to your transformation and development in the mainland.”

As he said, Chen Xiao nodded at him.

“Since Director Chen said so, I will take a look.”

Zhong Yaowen rubbed his stomach with a complicated expression.

After a moment of silence, he asked: “Director Chen, this drama will not be broadcast in Taiwan, right?”

Chen Xiao took a sip of tea and smiled: “I’m not sure, the distribution is not under my control.”

In fact, it is very clear that it will be broadcast.

The broadcast rights still need to be sold.

But you play Su Peisheng, the most manly man in the whole drama in the eyes of many people, what are you afraid of?
