Low Key Star

  Chapter 234【234】Original author

   "No, no, you misunderstood."

   Zhang Yang hurriedly clarified, "I'm not here for an audition, so I just came to take a look and say hello to you."

  Kang Shuyun adjusted her glasses, and took another look at Zhang Yang, "Aren't you Zhang Yang? Oh, are you here to record a song?" Before Zhang Yang could answer, she said again: "No, did you record a song just after the audition?"

   "Ah, no, no."

  Zhang Yang originally didn’t want to make publicity, but it turned out to be a bit embarrassing, so he had to say it was an investment. Follow along to see, Kang Shuyun finally understood, her expression looked a little surprised, obviously she didn’t expect him to be able to “get” into the CTS project.

There are many rich people in the entertainment industry, and there are also many people who are looking for projects with money in their hands. Of course, there are also people who are looking for money all over the world with projects. The problem is that everyone wants to invest in high-quality projects. In terms of ability and ratings, except for a few projects with strong political significance, investment is very guaranteed.

However, CTV's film and television projects have rarely been invested by private companies. Kang Shuyun has participated in many large-scale production projects, and she has heard a lot about the insiders. Don't say that Zhang Yang is just a newcomer. Difficult to get involved.

Zhang Yang met this industry leader who was thinking about cooperating more in the future, and after getting an impression that he was above the pass line, he left the dressing room and met Zhang Yu in the hallway with his agent, assistant and CTS staff. Come over here.

Zhang Yu didn't expect to see Zhang Yang here, his eyes flashed with surprise, then he smiled lightly, nodded towards Zhang Yang, and greeted each other without saying much. Asked manager Liu Hao: "Is Zhang Yang also auditioning? Yang Guo? He is here to shoot a TV series?"

When she asked this question, it was not unexpected that Zhang Yang would be good at filming. In fact, in the past two years, it is nothing new for artists to develop across circles. With Zhang Yang's current popularity, it is not difficult to directly appear in some big-budget movies.

  Why do you want to join in the TV series?

   "I don't really know, it should be."

As an agent, he would naturally inquire about the situation of the crew in advance, but because he was worried that it would be difficult to find suitable candidates, in order to leave enough space, the audition for "Sculpture of the Gods" was relatively urgent, and Zhang Yang's identity was not mentioned to the outside world, so Liu Hao also didn't know why Zhang Yang appeared here, and subconsciously thought that he was here for an audition, which is the most reasonable guess.

  Zhang Yu didn't ask any more questions, but he thought of another question randomly. With Zhang Yang's current popularity and status, if he came to film a TV series, the role would definitely be the same. So who do you think he auditioned for?

   "You don't want to play against this guy, do you?"

Although traffic has not flooded the entertainment industry today, the performance of singers who have cross-border development is not much better than traffic. Zhang Yu doesn't want to play Little Dragon Girl for a guy who has no acting skills and experience—so good Don't let these people spoil the novel, okay?

  Zhang Yu complained secretly, then came to the dressing room, changed into the costume of Xiaolongnv, and asked Kang Shuyun to do the makeup.

  Ordinary auditions don’t have to be so troublesome, but Li Changge and Zhang Yang both value the fit of actors’ images and roles, not just watching performances, so this requirement was added, which directly made it very troublesome for auditions that only need to prepare for auditions.

   Fortunately, the actors who came to the audition hoped that the makeup image would be closer to the character, so they didn't find it troublesome, but Kang Shuyun had to work hard.

Since it was not for makeup or shooting, the corresponding makeup requirements were not as strict, but Kang Shuyun was still busy for more than half an hour. During this period, her manager Liu Hao learned that the person who auditioned with her this morning was not Zhang Yang, but Zhong congratulations.

   Zhang Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, not to mention his appearance, at least Zhong He's acting skills are very good, which helps him to perform on the spot.

  The performances required by Li Changge are "Reunion at the Heroes Conference" and "Worship at the Chongyang Palace".

After putting on makeup, Zhang Yu stood up, and saw herself in the mirror, dressed in white, which set off her beautiful face, showing a somewhat refined taste. Her long hair was tied in a bun, and could still hang down to her waist. There were two long locks. The hair comes from both sides of the neck and hangs in front of the body. This is naturally a wig.

   During this period, she was always looking for the feeling of Xiaolongnu, following the impression and feeling of finding, looking at the cold and indifferent woman in white in the mirror, she felt that there was a bit of Xiaolongnu's charm, and she was secretly happy.

  Kang Shuyun took a look and saw that there were no obvious omissions, so she gave a few instructions and went to another dressing room to put on makeup for Zhong He who was waiting. Zhang Yu waited here with peace of mind, thinking about the passage to be performed later.

She is twenty-seven years old this year, and she is relatively young in the entertainment industry. At the beginning of her debut, her acting skills and image have been well received, but she has never been popular. Now she is in a relatively high position in the second line. She thinks she is only one Opportunity to be on the front line.

Due to the previous failures, adaptations of martial arts novels are not favored nowadays, but thanks to the popularity of the original novels, coupled with Huaguang's vigorous promotion of the adaptation of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the circle has certain prospects for the adaptation of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" Changes, but that's all.

The reason why Zhang Yu agreed to come to the audition was not only for CTV's face, but also a kind of speculative psychology. He felt that with the popularity of the original work of "The Condor Heroes" and CTV's attention, there was a certain probability of getting a good result. Little Dragon Girl, the image of a fairy in the hearts of countless readers of the original book, may become a stepping stone for her to rise to the front line.

  She was secretly trying to figure out the details of the later performance, when her manager Liu Hao returned to the dressing room again and brought new news: "In addition to Director Li and Director Gao, the interviewers are also Zhang Muzhi!"

  Zhang Muzhi?

Zhang Yu was stunned for a short time. He never expected that this mysterious martial arts writer would also come. He was not surprised that Zhang Muzhi was willing to come, but was surprised that CTS actually asked the original author to be one of the interviewers, even if he just walked away. A cutscene is also a rare thing.

Huaguang Film and Television bought the right to adapt "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" from Zhang Muzhi, but after that, they didn't bother to mention "the original author is very satisfied" in the publicity. Muzhi sat firmly on the throne of martial arts supreme, and Zhang Muzhi's name began to be mentioned in the follow-up publicity.

  However, Zhang Muzhi never showed his face from the beginning to the end, let alone participated in any work in the filming of the TV series "Legend of the Condor Heroes".

  China TV actually invited Zhang Muzhi to the audition scene!

   After being surprised, Zhang Yu couldn't help being curious. Who is Zhang Muzhi who changed the entire martial arts novel industry by himself and created a new martial arts?

University professor? retired teacher? Traditional writer?

The speculation about Zhang Muzhi on the Internet flashed through her mind quickly, and she quickly put it aside for the time being. The most important thing now is the audition. Zhang Muzhi and others are all unimportant details. After all, the final decision on casting is the Li Changge and Gao...Director Gao, Zhang Muzhi is just a mascot, so don't worry about him...but I'm really curious. To be able to write such a novel, he must be a person with great literary talent and thoughtfulness, right?

   About ten minutes later, Li Changge's assistant came over to remind her that she could go. Zhang Yu was a little surprised. After asking, she learned that Zhong He hadn't put on makeup yet, but the audition just now was over, and the director wanted to chat with her first.

  Zhang Yu followed the assistant to the audition room, knocked on the door, and walked in after hearing the voice saying "Please come in", his eyes quickly swept across the people behind the table.

   Sitting in the middle are Li Changge and Director Gao, beside...beside...

  Her eyes widened suddenly, and then quickly subdued her surprise, bowed her body, and greeted with a smile: "Hello, Director Gao, Hello, Director Li..."

   His eyes paused for a moment on Zhang Yang beside Li Changge, and he smiled, not hiding his surprise, and then smiled at Wang Zihe, Liu Feng next to him, and Huo Haiyang on the other side.

As soon as Zhang Yu came in, Zhang Yang felt his eyes light up, and soon realized that there was still a certain deviation between her image and the little dragon girl in his imagination, or the little dragon girl in his impression, but at this time Zhang Yu was just Zhang Yu, so there was no need Jump to conclusions.

  He observed the reactions of other people, and found that Liu Feng and Wang Zihe seemed to be quite satisfied, while Li Changge only had an attitude of scrutiny, unable to see what was in his heart.

Zhang Yu is very aware of the importance of the first impression, so after saying hello, he immediately entered the state, stood in the middle, and tried to get close to the image of the little dragon girl. Gao Wan smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, Zhong He is still putting on makeup. Let's chat casually for a while, please sit down."

   Zhang Yu sat down as promised, Li Changge asked: "Have you read "The Legend of Condor Heroes"?"

  Zhang Yu said with a smile: "I've been reading it since the beginning of the serialization, but sometimes I'm busy, so I don't watch every issue. I re-read it twice in the past few days."

  Li Changge asked: "What do you think of the role of Little Dragon Girl? Well, how is it written?"

  Zhang Yu laughed and said, "Of course it's well written."

While speaking, she couldn't help but cast a glance at the faces of Liu Feng, Wang Zihe, and Huo Haiyang, three people she didn't recognize, and secretly guessed which one was Zhang Muzhi. From the first impression, the two men were neither alike, one Too fat, a wretched person, could it be that Zhang Muzhi is actually a woman?

She continued: "I haven't read many martial arts novels, but judging from the information I have learned on the Internet and around me, Little Dragon Girl should be the best heroine in martial arts novels over the years, perhaps none of them. From the image In terms of character, she is close to a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world, but in terms of character, she is innocent, pure, ignorant of worldly affairs, but also loyal, intelligent, and kind."

  "If you were to decide how to play this role, what aspects would you want to focus on?"

Zhang Yu hesitated for a moment before answering carefully: "I think the performance of this character, first and foremost, should be non-humanistic, and the image of this fairy should be shown...Of course, this is just what I have seen in the past two days. I will obey the arrangement of my thoughts at the time and the specifics.”

   Li Changge smiled and said, "I think so too."

Huo Haiyang, Liu Feng, and Gao Wan laughed, and at this time someone knocked on the door again, and then Zhong He walked in, first glanced at Zhang Yu, and then quickly sized up the "interviewers". Just like Zhang Yu, he saw Zhang Yang There was also a look of surprise in his eyes, obviously he couldn't figure out how this guy got mixed up with the interviewer.

  Gao Wan then formally introduced the identities of the few people present, "Director Li doesn't need to introduce, Huo Haiyang is the assistant director of the crew, Liu Feng and Wang Zihe are the main screenwriters of "The Legend of Condor Heroes"..."

Zhang Yang was sitting next to Li Changge, but he was put at the end. Zhang Yu and Zhong He were busy greeting each other. At first, they didn't think about it. After Gao Wan finished the introduction, he paused for a while, and this point of doubt immediately surfaced. In the subconscious deep in my heart, an idea that was rejected as "impossible" has faintly emerged...

  Gao Wan raised his hand to signal Zhang Yang, and said with a smile expecting the expressions of the two of them: "You may also recognize this, Zhang Yang is one of the investors of the crew of "The Legend of Condor Heroes"..."

This identity made Zhang Yu and Zhong He a little unexpected. They were surprised, but also inexplicably relieved. Before they had time to wonder how Zhang Yang could participate in the investment project of China Television, Gao Wan revealed the answer : "In addition to this, he also has another identity, that is, the original author of "The Legend of Condor Heroes", Zhang Muzhi..."

   After finishing speaking, Gao Wan saw the expressions of Zhong He and Zhang Yu, not surprised, but puzzled, as if suspecting that this was a joke.

   After two seconds of silence, Zhang Yu opened her eyes wide, showing an unconcealable surprise, and her face clearly showed her true thoughts: "Are you sure this is not a joke?"

Li Changge coughed and said with a smile: "I know this is a bit unbelievable. I just found out that my expression is similar to yours, but the fact is that the person who can write "Linjiang Immortal" and "Re-Ode to Bamboo" can write "God". "The Condor" and "Shooting the Condor" are actually not that difficult to accept..."

  After confirming that this was not a joke, Zhang Yu wanted to say something, but after opening his mouth, he only said: "This..." His eyes were fixed on Zhang Yang, as if he wanted to confirm it again.

   Zhang Yang smiled and said, "It's guaranteed to be true."

   "Excuse me, I'm not suspicious..."

Since the later period of "Shooting the Condor", Zhang Yu has been chasing updates in his spare time, sometimes browsing the Internet, and had some guesses and curiosity about Zhang Muzhi's identity, so at this time, he felt that the contrast was extremely huge, "It's just a little too surprised... I always thought Zhang Muzhi was at least forty or fifty years old..."

  Gao Wan smiled and said: "Understand, understand, it was the same when I first learned about it."

  Li Changge said with a smile: "I'm free to talk, in a minute, you guys discuss how to play together."

   Back to business, Zhang Yu and Zhong He quickly got into the mood and discussed in low voices. Li Changge also lowered his head and wrote down his preliminary judgment on the images of Zhang Yu and Zhong He.

  He has records of the main actors in his notebook. Zhang Yang saw that he wrote behind Zhang Yu: I have read it carefully, thought about it, and the image conforms to 6

   What is written behind Zhong He is: There is more than righteousness, but not enough evil, the image conforms to 5
