When the director became popular in the entertainment industry

Casting an actor is no small matter.

Generally speaking, the main actors of a play are selected by the director, assistant director, screenwriter, and producer together, and after the selection is finished, they will be shown to investors.However, this step is usually a formality, so that investors can rest assured that their investment is not in vain.

Of course, there are still some people who brought money into the group and were pushed in by investors or producers.

Bai Congzhen understood the careful thought involved, so he said before the meeting, "If you have anyone you want to recommend, you can mention it first. It's okay to give a role if you have acting skills and image. I also want Sister Ya to give the company Tell me, let newcomers who are willing to come and hone their skills play some small supporting roles."

Those present here, Guan Jingzhou, Xu Qingsong and Bai Congzhen, have always only done their own work and ignored their business.Not to mention Su Yaya, leaving only Li Jinyu and Bai Congzhen Gu Wuyan.

Li Jinyu was silent for a moment: This is not just an explicit statement, it is no different from saying it directly.

But he is very witty and understands the principle that whoever gives the most money is the boss.

"I don't have anyone to recommend, just let the director decide."

"Okay then, let's start choosing a hero and heroine." Bai Congzhen nodded with satisfaction, smiling, "The script is in everyone's hands, let the scriptwriter tell us about the hero and heroine in detail."

Everyone flipped through the script and listened to Guan Jingzhou's eloquence: "The male protagonist has a rich second-generation background, but this is just to make him rich, not an important setting. Character, the male protagonist is as gentle as jade on the surface, but he gets along with others He was cold and alienated at the time, and his temperament was that of an elegant and noble son. I won't talk about the rest of the hidden character, what needs to be acting is not appearance."

After listening to Bai Congzhen, he emphasized: "The most important thing is that the actor who plays the hero must be good-looking, fair and slender. The hero is a restorer after all. Although the focus of this drama is not to film the restoration process, there will be close-ups. .I don’t want the camera to take a picture of a pair of little black hands, and it won’t work if you ask for it.”

After finishing speaking, he looked expectantly at Li Jinyu and Su Yaya, who had begun to look through the artist profiles of various companies, hoping to hear the names of actors who fit the male protagonist's design from these two people who had the most exposure to the entertainment industry.

However, after waiting for a while, no one answered.

Bai Cong said in disbelief, "No way, no one fits the bill? Such a big entertainment circle."

Su Yaya also felt a little embarrassed. She explained: "From the director, among the group of actors who match the age, first screen out those who are not good-looking enough, and then screen out those who have no acting skills. The rest of the male actors have their own strengths. But, he really doesn't have the cold and elegant nobleman that Teacher Zhizhou said."

Li Jinyu also said: "There is no first-tier, and there is no eighteenth-tier. And now the popular ones in the market are handsome men, and the drafts are also in this category or the ones that are particularly handsome and masculine. Many actors are from There are very few idols who change careers, and it is clear from their debut that they are actors."

Bai Congzhen didn't believe in evil, so he asked Su Yaya to watch it for himself.After turning for a while, he was also speechless.

These actors are all handsome in their own way.But basically they are sunny and cheerful, or gentle and shy.A few of them are barely in line with cool and elegant, but at first glance, they are from idols, and their acting skills are not good.

It cannot be said that there is no such thing, it can only be said that it is a bit far from Bai Congzhen's request.

Unexpectedly, he was in trouble at the beginning, Xu Qingsong was also surprised.He usually doesn't pay much attention to the domestic entertainment industry, but he didn't expect that there are really rare types in the entertainment industry.

But now is not the time to be emotional about this, he looked at Bai Congzhen and suggested: "Old Bai, since you can't choose, let it go first, and talk about the heroine."

It had no choice but to be like this, Bai Congzhen looked at Guan Jingzhou, "Screenwriter, let's talk about the heroine."

Guan Jingzhou believes that Bai Congzhen will not mess around in his own drama, so he only needs to be a good screenwriter with the team this time.He doesn't want to take care of other things, and it doesn't belong to him at all.

"The background of the heroine is well-to-do, with a happy family. Her parents are teachers, so she was taught to have a good character such as a sense of responsibility from an early age. So although the heroine is a little naive, she is a sunny and energetic girl. She is also a restorer. So the hands must also look good. Also, the heroine has just graduated from college."

The last sentence is obviously a reminder of age.

However, the heroine's persona is relatively ordinary, and there are quite a few people in the entertainment industry who fit her.After a brief discussion between Bai Congzhen and the others, Du Mengfu of Canyang Entertainment was drafted.

26 years old, with a background in majors, with good acting skills and few moths.

After the starring role, it is the main supporting role.The choice of this is easier than the starring role, so everything was agreed quickly.

After the meeting, Su Yaya will use Bai Congzhen's name to send emails to the agents of these actors one by one.When the other party accepts the cooperation invitation, they will sign a contract and join the group two days before the start of the operation.

In this way, only the male lead actor still has vacancies.

Li Jinyu cautiously suggested: "As the director, why don't you modify the actor's personality? Or choose someone with good acting skills and use acting skills to make up for the shortcomings?"

Before Bai Congzhen could speak, Xu Qingsong disagreed and said, "There will be no contrast after the hero's character change, and the whole script has to be changed. As for the acting skills, it's not a panacea, okay? No matter how good it is, it will create a sense of disobedience.”

Li Jinyu, who was denied on the spot, looked a little ugly.He looked at Xu Qingsong, who was sitting across from him like a dude, not at all like the assistant director, and calmly retorted.

"We didn't adapt the IP of the novel. How could the audience of the original script know the character design in advance. It's hard to find an elegant and noble son, and it's easy to act in a cold manner."

Guan Jingzhou reminded in a low voice at the side: "Producer Li, only the one who hangs with the handsome and noble son can be called cool, and the other characters are high-cold. And the character of the male lead is consistent from one end to the end, and will not collapse. .”

"That's right." Xu Qingsong agreed, looking straight into Li Jinyu's eyes, "Many details of the script are based on the hero's character design, and the major changes now completely violate the original intention of the script. Producer Li If you don't understand the script and filming, you should seldom express your opinions."

"Professional things should be done by professionals."

"Deputy Director Xu!"

Su Yaya was just listening quietly at first, but now that she was about to fight, she hurriedly patted Bai Congzhen who was thinking about something.

"Guide, can you say a few words?"

"Ah?" Bai Congzhen came back to his senses, looked at the noisy conference room with a confused face, and quickly stopped after reacting.

"Stop! Stop arguing, what's the fuss about such an easy-to-solve problem."

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Bai Congzhen spread his hands: "If we can't find a suitable one in the entertainment industry, we can go to the Film and Television Academy to find it. There is really no need to settle for it."

Hmm... seems to be the same?

The three of Xu Qingsong glanced at each other, and followed Bai Congzhen's suggestion.

And Bai Congzhen has never liked to be procrastinating in his work. After confirming that he wanted to choose the male lead from the Academy of Film and Television, he contacted the principal of Huaguo Academy of Drama to explain his intention.

As the principal of a film and television academy, he naturally knows what the students in the school need most.The important thing is that Bai Congzhen is not an unknown person. The name of being born in a literary and artistic family has given him a lot of favor in front of the principal.

Since Bai Cong is really not a liar, nor is he a three-no drama crew, the principal naturally agrees.

After getting the principal's approval, Bai Congzhen went to the Chinese Opera in person to express his solemnity, and had an interview with the principal about the specific arrangements, time and place.After exchanging unavoidable greetings for a long time, they finally walked out of the school.

the next day.

On Huaxi's school forum, a top post was silently updated.Beyond that, the principal didn't make the teacher bring up the matter in class.

As an actor, in addition to strength, luck is also essential.And if you don't have a sensitive sense of smell, how can you spot good opportunities?

Not to mention that there are so many Chinese opera learners, you have to seize the opportunity.

"Director Bai Congzhen's "Pearl and Jade Grocery Store" cast open casting in Chinese dramas"

According to Bai Congzhen's current attention, the number of replies to this post will naturally increase rapidly.If you see the news, even if you don't study acting, you should tell your good friend to let him take a look.

Because only the male lead was chosen, many girls also posted on the forum asking Bai Congzhen to give them a chance.But this is all a joke. Although they are envious, there is nothing they can do if their innate conditions are not suitable.

After learning the news, the students of Huaxi couldn't help sharing their excitement on the platform with their personal accounts.

Actor!How much exposure does the actor of a TV series have?

For those students who have not yet signed a contract with an agency and have no connections in the entertainment industry, Bai Congzhen's public casting this time can be said to be a very big opportunity.

Soon, the news became a trending topic on Weibo.

The casting requirements on the forum post were also discussed and discussed by everyone, and combined with the name of the TV series, people guessed what kind of TV series it was.

Bright Sun Entertainment at this time.

After receiving the email, Du Mengfu's agent carefully read the attached script outline, and then showed the email to Du Mengfu with implicit excitement.

"Xiaofu, Bai Congzhen invites you to be the heroine."

Du Mengfu was a little surprised, "Bai Congzhen? The one that was very popular on the Internet two days ago?"

"Yeah." The agent nodded affirmatively, "He is still Guan Lao's grandson, he is from a family of literature and art, and Yun Zhen has taken a special fancy to him. I have also read this script. According to the subject matter, the fire can also be a little popular. If you accept this drama, it will definitely benefit from nothing."

"You are only in the second line now, and there are not many representative works, and there are only two dramas with the heroine. This is a good opportunity."

Du Mengfu was also a little moved after reading the script, but she was still a little worried, "Who is the leading actor, did the director say anything?"

The manager sat across from Du Mengfu, and couldn't hide the joy on his face, "It's written in the back of the email. The director plans to select new actors from the Film and Television Academy."

"Newbie?"

The agent raised his eyebrows: "Newcomers. Your reputation is in a completely unequal position. Even if there are other veteran actors in the group, you will still be the one with the most traffic. Although the newcomers may be a little bit behind, you also happen to borrow This is a good way to manage the character design, so you don't have to worry about talking during the filming."

"Although Director Cong is a rookie director, judging from his previous variety shows, he definitely has two brushes. Not to mention that his current discussion volume on the Internet is no less than that of third-tier starlets."

After Du Mengfu listened, she also confirmed her thoughts.

"Okay, I'll take it."

After Su Yaya received the reply from Du Mengfu's agent, she quickly discussed with the other party about the time to sign the contract.

In addition to signing contracts with many actors, Su Yaya has also been paying attention to the trend of public opinion on the Internet because Bai Congzhen has become popular again.

Seeing this, she really felt something was wrong.

"Bai Congzhen's new drama heroine will be her..." Su Yaya glanced at the title and clicked in, "Fang Han? Fang Han from Canyang Entertainment?"
