At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 142 The First Experience of Casting (24)

Grand View Garden is located on Nancaiyuan West Street, XC District. Shen Xudong drove here early in the morning.

Although he's just a consultant, he's still at the 'teacher' level of the crew. Casting starts at nine o'clock, so he has to meet up quickly...

By the way, figure out the casting process...

This is all experience accumulation!

Oh, "Golden Branch Desire" is casting in the Grand View Garden...

He thought he was already very early, but when he arrived at the place, a group of people surrounded the door, blocking the intersection.

Shen Xudong had never seen such a battle, got out of the car, and called Cao Ping, who immediately notified to open the door...

Hanging up the phone, just about to go in, the crowd cheered, and they all rushed in...

It was not easy for Shen Xudong to squeeze in with these people, so he was at the end of the line.

This group of people is basically girls, only six or seven boys are caught in it.

That's right, they're all here for auditions!
Come from art colleges all over the country, or engage in related performing arts work, regardless of appearance or figure, are above the average line...

They are all arrogant masters, and they don't like each other...

They probably regarded Shen Xudong as an opponent, and a few even gave him a second look on purpose until the staff came to take him away.

"Did you hear what they called him?"

"Screenwriter Shen? He's Shen Xudong!"

"It's a pity, I should have talked to him more just now!"

After Shen Xudong left, the girls whispered to each other.

What a pity, Shen Xudong doesn't care about things at all, besides, someone has already stepped ahead of you!

I had an art exchange with Yan Danchen yesterday...

It's all for art!
How can art communicate with each other without spending some verbal communication and in-depth discussion?
One wants to get started, and the other should suddenly give me advice!
As for the characters...

I can only say try my best to fight for it, anyway, Yan Danchen didn't force it...

……

Generally, the auditions of large crews will not be auditioned globally like "The Mermaid".

For a large crew, the main roles are producers and directors, and the crew will search for actors who can think of and find them.

Small roles are all chosen within a certain range within the circle...

This range is recommended by acquaintances, as well as major art colleges and universities.

Shen Xudong used to think that an audition was for an actor to read a line and perform it...

Not really!
Actors are almost completely passive during the audition, and they can't prepare anything, so they can't rely on their performance to influence the teachers' judgment of themselves!
As soon as she came in, whether it was suitable or not was already decided!
It depends on appearance and temperament.

Acting or something, the secondary factor, the image is good, as long as the acting is not holding back!

Today is called a round of audition, which is to screen out most of the unqualified...

Shen Xudong originally thought that he would be able to see a few stars of tomorrow, but counting the time, Yang Xiaomi and Liu Shishi are about to debut...

Thinking too much, Yang Xiaomi's manager is Li Xiaowan, Rong Xinda's signed artist, how could she audition with a group of people?
As for Liu Shishi...

Anyway, Shen Xudong didn't see him.

There are so many people, but the only girl who looks familiar is Bai Jing...

Classmates of the 02 acting class!
I guess I came here to learn, to accumulate experience in running groups...

Bai Jing, Shen Xudong had no chance to speak for her at all - he was spotted as soon as he entered the door...

……

Tossing until almost eight o'clock in the evening, after finishing work, Shen Xudong couldn't stay anymore...

His job is to sit and watch the three teachers choose...

Although a lot of questions were asked, in Shen Xudong's view, they were all nonsense. I felt that the secret to the first round was just two words: good looks!
Just look good!

At first, they asked Shen Xudong for his opinion...

What can he say?

He doesn't understand!

Later, I simply didn't ask Shen Xudong...

It feels like he is sitting on the side, just to make up the number, completely dispensable...

If you know how boring you are, if you kill me, I won't come!
After finishing work, Shen Xudong was about to leave, and Cao Ping joined him: "How do you feel?"

"...I'm afraid there are more than 100 people selected today? Do we need to be so many actors?"

"What is this? It's just one day today, a round of auditions for three days..."

"Three days? Three days for one round, how many rounds in total?"

"Three rounds... The second round is almost settled, and the last round is completely settled!"

"Then... How many actors do you need in total?"

"22…"

"So... more than 100 people were selected today?"

"So, it's just the first round... You didn't watch it, and Director Zheng didn't come!"

Shen Xudong understood a little bit.

In the first round, try to choose as many candidates as possible, just like the audition, you can't miss good seedlings.

The second round will be carefully selected...

By the way, Shen Xudong took the opportunity to talk about Yan Danchen, saying that there is an actor friend who is quite suitable to play Anxi...

Cao Ping memorized the name and asked, "Your girlfriend?"

"No, I don't have a girlfriend... just friends..."

"Okay, I got it!"

After thinking about it, Shen Xudong still said: "Sister Cao, I won't come tomorrow!"

"What? Feeling bored?"

"I can't help either..."

"Look at the beauty..."

Shen Xudong shook his head: "Forget it, I still have a lot of things to do..."

Just looking at it, you can't get started, what's the point?
Cao Ping thought for a while, and then said: "Okay, you can do your work first..."

"Hey, then I'm leaving..."

Oh, Qin Wen went to discuss the plot of the episode with the director team...

According to her, after the casting of "Golden Branch Desire" is completed, all the actors will focus on court etiquette training for two months. During this time, the director team will scout and choose the scene, and determine the final art and costume...

Then start shooting, the time is four months!

Calculated according to this time, it is estimated that it will not be filmed until the end of the year, and it is estimated that it will not be broadcast until October next year.

……

In the dormitory, when Shen Xudong entered the door, Zhao Xin saw him and hurriedly greeted him: "Hey, the busy man is back?"

"...um... where's the boss?"

Zhao Linhai's bed was empty, Shen Xudong was surprised.

"My sister-in-law rented a house outside, and he will go over tonight to warm up the new house..."

Shen Xudong immediately got excited: "...are they living together?"

"That's not...but it's about the same."

Shen Xudong grinned: "We are the only single dogs left in the dormitory now!"

"...What single dog?"

"Literally, you understand..."

"How can a single be a dog..." Zhao Xin pondered for a long time, but couldn't come up with a reason, so he simply changed the subject: "You are going to be an interviewer today, how do you feel? Do you have the feeling of holding the power of life and death?"

Shen Xudong was speechless: "First of all, that's not called an interviewer...that's called a casting teacher, and I'm not a casting director, I'm just a bystander..."

"How do you feel?" Zhao Xin's expression gradually became wretched: "Have you received the invitation letter to teach the exercises?"

"...What do you think? After receiving the invitation letter, I will use it back?"

"Maybe you don't think it's interesting... It's not surprising what happens to your kid!"

"...You're overthinking, "Golden Branch Desire" is a regular crew..."

"What is formal or not, this is called tradition!"
