Full-time actor

Chapter 91 [90] Come on, show it off! Martial arts!
  "Wow, so many people!"

As soon as Ji Qiannan stepped out of the elevator, she was frightened by the battle in front of her.

On Monday, the morning of April 4, Chen Yu thought he had arrived early. Unexpectedly, the large conference room of Huaxia Audio-Visual was already full of people standing or sitting, and many of them were surrounded. It looks familiar.

However, I didn't see many big-name actors. Many of them were famous in later generations, or were second- or third-tier stars.

For example, Yan Danchen, Liu Tao, Shen Hao, Li Xiaolu, etc., all of them were accompanied by their agents and chatted softly with other actors they knew.

What Chen Yu mainly cares about is his opponent.

Ma Yuke, Gao Hu, Huang Haibing, Qiao Zhenyu... these should be auditioning for Duan Yu, except Gao Hu who is Xu Zhu.

"There are so many Duan Yu in this audition?"

Chen Yu could tell, because the roles that Qiao Feng and Xu Zhu needed were rough and honest; except for Duan Yu, they needed the temperament of a young master or a heir apparent, and there were quite a few of them, but they had a bit of it.

Especially Qiao Zhenyu and Ma Yuke, these two are not very young, and their handsome faces fit well with Duan Yu's description in the original work.

Of course, Chen Yu felt that he should be the most suitable person.

He actually dressed up specially for the audition today. Although he didn't wear makeup, his clothes, hairstyle, etc. were all specially done.

The temperament is also prepared at home for a long time.

The reason why I didn’t see big-name first-line actors here is that firstly, it might be a little early; secondly, there are first-line actors, many of whom don’t actually need to audition, such as Lu Yi.

Their reputations are there, and when I tell you to audition, you can't squeeze in with so many people.

The brokerage firm won't allow it either.

Although Lu Yi said before that he could not play Duan Yu due to scheduling reasons, in fact, Ji Qiannan told Chen Yu a piece of gossip, which was very true.

As early as when Zhang Bearded was filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" at the beginning of the year, he actually invited Lu Yi to play Yang Kang.

But at that time, Lu Yi declined on the grounds of entering the music scene.

Then at the beginning of the preparation of "Dragon", the boss of the company, Wang Pengju, thought of him again and wanted to let him play the role of "Duan Yu".

But Lu Yi said that he only wanted to play the hero Qiao Feng.

He is a fan of "Dragon" and "Dragon" very much, so he is a little obsessed with the character.

But Zhang Dabeard felt that Lu Yi's appearance was not suitable for Qiao Feng's career, so the two parties had a very unpleasant conversation. The most important thing was that Zhang Dabeard had already decided on Qiao Feng's candidate - Hu Jun!
  Before Tianlong made any preparations, Zhang Dabeard felt that Hu Jun was the candidate for Qiao Feng.

He said more than once in later interviews that Hu Jun was the perfect choice to play Qiao Feng. After getting the copyright for "Dragon Movie" at the beginning of the year, Zhang Dabeard called Hu Jun the next day.

So this is the first role to be finalized among all the main creators.

Moreover, the background of Hu Jun's family is terrible. Hu Jun is probably the least famous member of his family.

The role of Chen Yu and Qiao Feng is obviously out of the question.

But he actually doesn't have much interest in Qiao Feng. Although in the 03 version of "Dragon", Qiao Feng is definitely the first protagonist, and Duan Yu can only be ranked second in terms of appearance rate.

But Chen Yu believed that his appearance as Duan Yu was better than Qiao Feng's.

Even Xu Zhu is better than Qiao Feng.

So for this audition, Chen Yu's first choice for the role would definitely be Duan Yu; the next best choice would be Xu Zhu.

If nothing else works, Murong Fu’s head office will be gone, right?

But in fact, the strength of Teacher Xiu Qing, who played Murong Fu in his previous life, made the audition more difficult than that of Duan Yu and Xu Zhu.

In the entire Tian Long, the two with the worst acting skills are Duan Yu and Wang Yuyan. This is the unanimous evaluation of future generations.

So Chen Yu made these three plans for himself this time.

"Zhang Dabeard is here!"

Ji Qiannan reminded Chen Yu from the side, and Chen Yu quickly stood up straight and looked at the elevator entrance.

The position he was standing in was a bit far back, and there were no one around him. Of course, no one would come up to chat with him for being such a transparent person. The large-scale audition scene is the most realistic reality in the entertainment industry.

"Haha, you guys arrived quite early, right?"

As soon as Zhang Dabeard got out of the elevator and looked at the crowd of people in front of the conference room, his voice was very loud.

Standing next to him was a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard. He looked very inconspicuous, but he was Zhou Xiaowen, the chief director of Tianlong. He was a very senior director in the industry and also came from the Nortel directing department.

On the other side, there is a fat and slightly fat man in a suit, but he is Pu Lin, the boss of China Audio-Visual.

In addition to the three of them, there were of course a few people Chen Yu didn't know.

There are eight people in total, and they should be the "Dragon and Eight Vajra Audition Team" headed by Zhang Dabeard later.

"Come on, don't come one by one, let's all come in!"

Zhang Da Beard is indeed a Zhang Da Beard, and the audition is different from others. Others line up one by one to go in. But he made a big move and asked the agent to stay outside and all the actors went in to audition.

This move was beyond everyone's expectations, but he spoke, and everyone had no choice but to follow him and come to the big conference room together.

This conference room should have been specially placed for auditions.

There is a large circle in the middle, which will be used for auditions later. There are chairs around it. There are eight desks at the front with nameplates in red letters on them.

Zhang Jizhong, Pu Lin, Zhou Xiaowen, Yu Min, Zhao Jian, Yuan Bin, Wang Pengju, Bai Yicong!
  Exactly 8 people!

Chen Yu finally knew who was behind the bearded man just now.

Yu Min is also one of the directors of "Dragon" and is almost Zhang Bearded's go-to director. He directed the current "The Condor" and the future "The Deer and the Cauldron", etc.

His position is actually mainly responsible for photography, that is, the director of photography.

Zhao Jian and Yuan Bin are martial arts instructors. At the same time, Zhao Jian also works part-time as a director of fight scenes and is mainly responsible for all the martial arts scenes in the play.

The last two, Wang Pengju and Bai Yicong, the former is another investor and the latter is the main screenwriter.

Although Jin Yong is the author, someone still needs to make a corresponding film and television adaptation.

Bai Yicong's reputation in the industry is pretty good, and later generations have reached the top in the country. The TV series adapted from "The Three-Body Problem" is highly praised. In addition to this, there are also "Old Nine Gates", "Tomb Raiders Notes", and the "Dark One" series, which are all his screenwriting masterpieces.

"Sit anywhere!"

Zhang Jizhong's burly body sat on the main seat in the middle, with Pu Lin on the left and Zhou Xiaowen on the right. After they sat down, Chen Yu chose a seat at the back and sat down straightly.

"I'll call out your name, and whoever is called will come here!"

Zhang Jizhong pointed to the lonely spot in the middle circle, and then without any nonsense, he directly picked up the actor's audition resume on the table.

"Jiang Xin!"

Zhang Jizhong read out a name, and a slightly cautious girl stood up immediately.

Chen Yu felt something in his heart. This man was actually quite famous in later generations.

Regardless of the first one, she won the role of Tianlong Mu Wanqing.

However, he is probably most famous for the role of Concubine Hua in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", whose sentence "Bitch is hypocritical" became popular on the Internet; Fan Shengmei in "Ode to Joy" also made an appearance in the industry, and her acting skills are still there.

"Hello directors and investors, my name is Jiang Xin..."

Jiang Xin introduced herself to Zhang Jizhong and others, while Zhang Jizhong looked at her actor resume.

She is actually Zhou Xiaowen's. She has worked with him in several dramas before, so she is considered a direct descendant. There are other actors like Gao Hu.

Shaking his head slightly, he glanced at Zhou Xiaowen beside him with a big beard: "Director Zhou, which role do you think she is suitable for?"

"Mu Wanqing!"

Zhou Xiaowen smiled and shook his head with a big beard: "Too fat!"

"Mu Wanqing is very beautiful and cool. Although she looks pretty good, she is not cool enough. It will be decided soon!"

Zhang Bearded put the actor's resume aside. Jiang Xin stood up knowingly and nodded to everyone: "Thank you, director!"

She backed away.

The entire audition only lasts about 1 minute.

This is actually a normal audition. There are many things that you don’t need to look at for your acting skills. They are all on your actor’s resume. You can actually tell them at a glance.

So eye contact is very important.

It is this actor who must meet the requirements of the director and producer for the role.

If they have similar temperaments, it will be even more different.

Jiang Xin's big beard is dissatisfied. In addition to what he mentioned above, there is actually another point - academic qualifications.

Jiang Xin was not from the Third Academy, but from a very ordinary pheasant art school.

But she also has advantages. She debuted as a child star and has solid acting skills.

A 20-year-old is much better than his peers.

"Huang Haibing!"

"..."

Just like this, everyone with a big beard shouted, and everyone basically didn't try for 2 minutes, and the speed was quite fast.

With almost a beard, he looked at the resume, then at the actors, and after asking the opinions of several people around him, he directly called out the next one.

Of course he won't refuse directly. Basically everyone is waiting for notification.

"Chen Yu!"

After about seven or eight people auditioned, Chen Yu finally heard his name.

Swah——

Chen Yu stood up and walked to Zhang Bearded's face.

Zhang Bearded looked at Chen Yu's actor resume and secretly asked Pu Lin next to him. Pu Lin glanced at Chen Yu and nodded slightly.

This meaning was actually understood by many people present.

In fact, there is no need to expose it. Just like Jiang Xin and Huang Haibing before, which one is irrelevant?
  It doesn't matter, you're not even qualified to audition.

"Do you know martial arts?"

Although Zhang Dabeard can read actors' resumes very quickly, he can't read ten lines at a glance, so he only picks out the key points.

Chen Yu's specialty column scared him a bit, but the word "martial arts" in it really aroused his interest. He didn't pay attention to Japanese, racing, etc. Some crew members might need it.

But in martial arts movies, the most important thing is definitely skill.

If you can fight, it will undoubtedly be a big plus in the audition for martial arts dramas.

The reason why Liu Yifei can participate in many martial arts dramas is because she has really learned martial arts. She is the only female swordsman born in the 80s. That is a bit of a boast, and it is a draft for the studio and the agency.

But her dancing skills and skills are indeed unmatched by other actresses of about the same age as her.

"meeting!"

Chen Yu spoke concisely and concisely, but every word seemed very bright, showing extremely strong confidence.

"Oh?"

The two martial arts instructors, who had always lowered their heads, couldn't help but nod in unison after hearing that Chen Yu knew martial arts.

"Old Zhao, Teacher Yuan!"

"Let him go?"

Zhang Bearded looked at Zhao Jian and Yuan Bin. Yuan Bin said without any hesitation: "Come on, give me a shot!"
