The casting director said, "Hello, Mr. Qin, please perform the first clip first. Mr. Nie Jun will play with you."

The casting director nodded to the actress sitting by the window and said, "Mr. Nie, thank you for your help."

Nie Jun, who was in her fifties, smiled slightly, put her five fingers together, pointed to the chair in front of her and said to Qin Tao, "Mr. Qin, please sit down."

She leaned sideways, leaned on the table next to her, and entered the role of the queen mother.

The casting director saw Qin Tao sitting down and said, "Begin."

……

Prince Guo (Qin Tao) looked respectful, picked up the bowl, blew it, and fed the queen mother (Nie Jun) a mouthful of medicine.

"The Empress Dowager doesn't look well. She must take a good rest."

...

When these words came out, the directors beside him all frowned.

"You must not worry about it" made you feel uncomfortable?

This sentence was going to lead to Concubine Hua managing the six palaces. If he said it, the Empress Dowager would have to make up for it.

Fortunately, Teacher Nie Jun is worthy of being an old actor and pulled the words back in an instant.

The Empress Dowager sighed in self-mockery, "I can only rest, how can I have the energy to worry about it? With the Emperor and the Empress gone, the affairs of the six palaces have to be entrusted to Concubine Hua."

Prince Guo smiled, "Don't worry, Empress Dowager, Concubine Hua will definitely be able to handle the affairs."

The Empress Dowager said with a little sadness: "Concubine Hua's temperament is the same as her brother. She can do great things and bad things."

Prince Guo smiled and said nothing more.

At this moment, a staff member wearing a eunuch hat ran over and half-knelt and said, "Report to the Queen Mother, Lord Longkodo sent a thousand-year-old mountain ginseng from his mansion. I hope the Queen Mother is in good health."

The Queen Mother's eyes moved slightly, "Put it down."

Then she looked at Prince Guo, her eyes full of sorrow, and asked softly, "Have you heard about what happened to Concubine Hua's brother in the court?"

Prince Guo shook his head, "Empress, please take care of yourself."

The casting director said, "Okay, OK."

Hearing this, Chen Xiao suddenly understood why Fang Rong had to take a quick-acting heart-saving pill yesterday.

If it was like this all day, he would have to take a quick-acting heart-saving pill too.

Is this a relative? How did he get the award?

Did he take the lines? None of them were right.

Chen Xiao was too lazy to fake a smile, so he flipped the script in front of him and asked directly, "Where are the words?"

Qin Tao was silent for a moment, "Actors should understand the role and re-create it, so I modified it a little."

"What is the motivation for the modification?" Chen Xiao closed the script and asked back.

"After I understood this character, I reacted according to his inner thoughts, and I felt that it was smoother to say it that way just now."

Chen Xiao smiled, "Smooth, is it smoother for Prince Guo to speak like this? Actors can change the lines, but the premise is to modify the lines and actions to be more in line with the character and more interesting. What about you? You changed Prince Guo to you."

"Director Chen, you misunderstood, I just think there is no need to add so many redundant words."

"Redundant? The last sentence, what was the original line?"

Qin Tao moved his mouth, but he couldn't remember it at all.

Because I didn't recite it just now...

I just remember that it was a long paragraph.

The casting director saw that the situation was a bit awkward, so he opened the script and said, "Teacher Qin, let me help you."

"The original words were: No wonder the Empress Dowager is not in good health. It turns out that she refuses to listen to the doctor. The doctor said that you don't need to worry."

"How nice of you to even take care of things outside."

"With your instructions, I have to go outside to ask about these things. This time is fine, but if it's the same next time, I won't dare to enter the palace again."

Chen Xiao nodded and looked at Qin Tao.

The original lines expressed concern for the Empress Dowager.

The second line showed that he was a lazy prince who subjectively didn't like to get involved in government affairs.

How did he change it?

"Teacher Qin, you shook your head and said, Empress Dowager, take care of yourself. As a producer, I think our understanding of the role is too different, so there is no need to cooperate this time."

Chen Xiao directly brought up his identity as a producer to prevent Fang Rong from having to speak.

Generally speaking, in casting, the screenwriter has less say than the director.

But the producer who paid the money is the real boss.

When the producer speaks, the director under him should not interrupt.

Qin Tao's face turned a little green.

But Chen Xiao's status is so high that even his uncle has to greet him with a smile. Facing Chen Xiao's criticism, he can only accept it.

Acceptable or not, this drama is expected to be a big hit.

There is still a chance.

Try to do it.

Qin Tao lowered his attitude instantly and forced a smile, "Director Chen is right. I will change it later and must memorize the lines well."

Hearing this, Fang Rong hurriedly secretly pulled Chen Xiao's sleeve and shouted in his heart.

Don't agree! Don't agree!

As soon as you leave, his superb sense of relaxation is back!

In fact, without Fang Rong's reminder, Chen Xiao did not intend to keep him.

Is the entertainment industry lacking such an actor?

But if he surrenders and shows respect for the script, Chen Xiao will not continue to be cold-faced.

He smiled politely, "Teacher Qin, to be honest, you are not suitable for the role of Prince Guo."

"Why?"

"Your appearance is too outstanding, and Prince Guo is handsome, but he doesn't need to be too handsome."

"Then let's play Doctor Wen."

Then let's play Doctor Wen, are you picking roles here?

"Teacher Qin has a brave temperament, and Doctor Wen needs to be a little cowardly, which is not suitable for you."

Hearing Doctor Wen's cowardly, the casting director almost couldn't help laughing.

Well, cowardice is my disguise, Madam, I have loved a pair.

Qin Tao frowned and thought carefully about what other roles he had just seen.

"Then... Wei Ting, or the imperial physician Wei something, is it okay?"

"No, the emperor has already suspected Zhen Huan, and Wei Lin can't be handsome. Eunuch is okay, he can be more handsome."

Qin Tao was speechless for a while, feeling aggrieved but not daring to get angry.

Eunuch?

He is also a traffic star now.

Fans will go crazy watching him play a servile eunuch?

It seems that Chen Xiao is determined not to let him play.

But he didn't say anything unpleasant, so he had no place to complain.

Go back and complain to fans?

People have a video, and they took out a pair, and Chen Xiao praised him for being handsome...

There is no way, he can only bear it.

Forget it, if I can't stay here, I will stay somewhere else!

But he can complain in his heart, but he dare not show it.

"Okay, let's work together again next time. Thank you Director Chen for your guidance."

After saying that, Qin Tao forced a smile and walked out quickly.

...

One actor after another walked in and out.

The sun slowly moved westward, and it was evening in a blink of an eye.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window into the casting room where only seven or eight staff members were left.

Chen Xiao yawned, returned the information in his hand to Fang Rong, and sighed: "You and Director Sun's two plays, every time I come to the crew, I feel like a military general, just fighting with others."

Fang Rong smiled and said: "Thank you, brother. There will be no tough actors in the future, I can handle it."

As he said that, Fang Rong stood up and stretched.

Chen Xiao also stood up and picked up his coat, "Director Fang, come on, don't you think the money given by your sister-in-law is not enough to spend?"

Fang Rong's eyes lit up.

Is he going to pay?

Just when he was about to ask if he could pay in cash, Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Keep shooting. If you're busy, you won't have time to spend money!"

Fang Rong narrowed his eyes.

I really want to stab someone...
