director of the millennium

Chapter 104 Audition, Cai Yinong
Chen Kun to play the leading role in "If Love"?
Thinking of his friends, Wu Yuan's eyes lit up.

At this point in time, it is really not easy to find a mainland actor who is not inferior to Takeshi Kaneshiro in terms of age, temperament, and appearance.

The two most popular and handsome young mainland actors right now are Chen Kun, who acts in movies, and Lu Yi, who acts in TV series.

One is very popular in the movie circle, the movie is not received well, and the popularity is not good, and the other is very popular in the TV drama circle, and is obsessed with thousands of girls.

In comparison, Chen Kun's image is more suitable for the male protagonist of "If Love", and his acting skills are better than Lu Yi, who can only act in idol dramas now.

Handsome Jin Da is indeed handsome, but our factory flowers are not much inferior!
Since Zhou Xun is all going to be pried, then prying one person is prying, and prying two people is also prying. The liquidated damages of Zhou Xun, the heroine, are only over 20, how high can the liquidated damages of Chen Kun, the male lead, be?
But Wu Yuan couldn't decide this matter alone, and he couldn't even blatantly let Zhang Guorong block people.

The heroine of Zhou Xun was decided by Wu Yuan, if he intervened in the heroine, it would be too disrespectful to Zhang Guorong if it was true.

Now that Zhang Guorong is the director, Zhang Guorong still has to make the final decision in terms of casting.

Even if Wu Yuan is an investor, you can plug in people, but at most one or two people, there is no reason for all actors to let you decide.

"Let's do this, let Brother Kun prepare. In a few days, Guorong will hold an audition. Then let him give it a try."

Wu Yuan said on the phone: "I believe that with his strength and appearance, he can definitely impress Guorong."

"Don't worry about the breach of contract. The liquidated damages crew will help you out."

Wu Yuan still feels that as long as Chen Kun participates in the audition, he should be the most likely to get the role. Who calls him handsome?

"Okay, I'll talk to Kun'er." Zhou Xun readily agreed.

If they can continue to work together in "If Love", Zhou Xun will be more confident in making this movie well.

After all, they have worked together many times before, so they have rich experience in acting together, and they can produce better performances when they work together.

Chen Kun received the news. Although he had not seen the script of "If Love", he had great trust in Wu Yuan and Zhou Xun. When they asked him to try out the drama, he had no reason to refuse.

Zhang Guorong also moved very quickly.

On May 5th, he notified Wu Yuan that the audition invitations had been sent to most of the suitable actors, and the audition would be held in two days.

This audition will select two actors, the lead actor Lin Jiandong and the third actor Monty.

As for the actors in the circus and the Magic City Song and Dance Troupe in the script, they can just hire people from the Capital Song and Dance Troupe and the Hong Kong Island Circus.

Zhang Guorong's signature, at least the director's signature, is not very loud.

But the signboard of "screenwriter Wu Yuan" is really useful.

Most of the actors who received the audition invitation were a little hesitant when they saw that the director was Zhang Guorong, but when they saw that the screenwriter of the film was Wu Yuan, they immediately agreed to attend the audition.

Are you kidding me, this is a script written by Wu Yuan!
Even if the director is a newbie, they will still come to audition!
If you don't ask for anything else, if you can catch up with Wu Yuan, it will be worth it even if you star in a bad movie!

On the other side of the ocean, "Pirates of the Caribbean" has already begun to warm up and promote, and the first version of the trailer has also been edited and released on the Internet.

At the beginning of the trailer, there are big words "Directed by Yuan Wu"!

In addition, Disney also allocated a lot of promotional resources to Wu Yuan when promoting.

When it comes to the promotion of "Pirates of the Caribbean", in addition to the fantasy, adventure, pirate and other elements of the film's content, the only two people who can be singled out to create topics are Johnny Depp and Wu Yuan.

Orlando, the prince of the elves, counts as half.

Johnny Depp and Wu Yuan are both Oscar-worthy, and Disney will definitely grab them to create buzz.

For example:

"Berlin's best director's first fantasy adventure blockbuster!"

"Director Wu Yuan's next masterpiece after "Juno"!"

"The youngest director with a box office of 2 million in North America makes another move!"

"Johnny Depp joins forces with Berlin's youngest and best director to bring a new series of blockbusters!"

A lot of press releases like this have been issued in North America.

In these drafts, Wu Yuan is almost being boasted as the best, most successful, and top-notch director of the younger generation, a world-class famous director.

Oh, I'm not bragging, he is really the most successful and best director under the age of 30. The people who wrote these promotional releases are very confident.

And all kinds of people in the domestic entertainment circle paid close attention to Hollywood and the news of Wu Yuan on the other side of the ocean, and they received it faster than me.

Considering Wu Yuan's current popularity and status in Hollywood, and "Pirates of the Caribbean" which will be released worldwide soon, how could this group of actors in China refuse an invitation to audition for a screenplay written by him?
On May 5th, actors from all walks of life who received invitations to audition gathered in the office building of Light and Shadow Times in Chaoyang District, Beijing on time.

Even some actors who had not received an invitation to audition, but had heard about the news, came forward to try to get a chance.

When Wu Yuan and Zhang Guorong arrived at the company, they saw actors and their agents filling the two reception rooms of the company.

Lu Yi, Liu Ye, Chen Kun, Hu Jun, Xia Yu, Li Yapeng, Huang Xiaoming, Bao Jianfeng, Jiao Enjun, Nie Yuan, Yan Kuan...

All the well-known actors on the big and small screens are here.

"Hey" Wu Yuan was looking at the audition actors through the window, and suddenly saw two figures who seemed like they shouldn't be here.

"Aren't those Hu Ge and Yuan Hong?" Wu Yuan looked at the two young actors sitting in the corner of the reception room and felt a little strange.

Wu Yuan pointed to the two of them, Hu Ge, and asked Zhang Guorong: "Guo Rong, did you invite those two actors to audition?"

Zhang Guorong fixed his eyes and replied with a smile: "Oh, they are actors recommended by a company called Tangren Film and Television. I see that they look handsome in the photos, so let them try Monty."

"Use new people?" Wu Yuan was a little surprised. Zhang Guorong was bolder than him.

Hu Ge and Yuan Hong are probably only sophomores or juniors in college now, and they don't know if they have ever filmed seriously.

He didn't dare to cast new actors so boldly in his second movie. Now that he's filming his fifth movie, he plans to start training new actors.

"It's just a male number three, a rookie can afford it." Zhang Guorong didn't think he was so bold.

"Besides, it's not certain whether they can be selected."

Because the glass in the reception room is one-way, Zhang Guorong also followed Wu Yuan's example, pointed at an actor in the reception room and said: "The one named Yan Kuan looks similar to the two actors sent by the Tang Dynasty. One type."

"And he is more handsome, I am more optimistic about him to play Monty."

Reasonable!

Wu Yuan nodded in agreement.

Yan Kuan, Hu Ge, and Yuan Hong have almost the same appearance type, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and three-dimensional and deep facial features.

Compared with Hu Ge and Yuan Hong, who are still very young, Yan Kuan, who is at the peak of his appearance, is indeed more handsome.

But being green also has its benefits!

Wu Yuan's eyes fell on Hu Ge, and his heart was filled with excitement.

This kid seems to be more suitable to play the male lead of "Your Name" than Zhu Yawen.

Thinking of this, he looked at Cai Yinong who was standing behind Hu Ge and Yuan Hong. The boss of Tangren Film and Television also came?
Did she value these two newcomers very much, or did she value Zhang Guorong's movie so much that she personally brought people to audition?
By the way, it’s really profitable to make TV series now.
Wu Yuan stroked his chin and pondered for a while, then turned his head and said to the staff in charge of entertaining these celebrities: "I will invite Mr. Cai from Tangren Film and Television to my office later."

"I have something to talk to her about."
