China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 336: You, a male actor, strip down for an audition?

It was so embarrassing. At this moment, Huang Xiaoming felt that he was almost embarrassed at his grandma's house.

Especially when he noticed Li Yu looking at him with a "guess" expression, he was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a piece of sand to bury his head.

He felt extremely uncomfortable and depressed: "Director Li, you have seen it a long time ago, why didn't you tell me this earlier?"

Li Yu raised his eyebrows and smiled: "You used to chase Xiao Yanzi. Didn't anyone tell you that Xiao Yanzi looked at you like a fool? Can you listen?"

"..."

Huang Xiaoming's heart trembled, feeling heart-wrenching and real.

He has a crush on Xiao Yanzi, and his pursuit of Xiao Yanzi is no secret both inside and outside the circle.

During his pursuit of Xiao Yanzi, some of his close friends really tried to persuade him.

As a result, he turned a deaf ear to the words of his close friends. In the end, as his friends said, he really failed to catch up with Xiao Yanzi.

"Director Li, I beg you, don't talk about baby and Xiao Yanzi anymore, let me go, I'm feeling regretful now."

Huang Xiaoming's scalp was numb, and he felt like he was being whipped to death.

Li Yu didn't want to torture Huang Xiaoming either.

Anyway, Huang Xiaoming and Yang Tianbao have broken up.

Without Huang Xiaoming's resources, Yang Tianbao acted in two more bad movies, and her reputation was so bad that she had no chance of getting ahead.

If you want to get a salary of 80 million yuan, if you want to win the Best Supporting Actress in Hundred Flowers, you can only buy a better pillow and go home to dream.

Not to mention accidentally helping future audiences get rid of a scourge, Li Yu felt quite accomplished.

Li Yu took the initiative to change the topic: "Brother Xiao Ming, I understand your purpose of coming today. It's no problem if you want to act in my new play.

But I have already said that the casting this time must be fair and impartial. If you want to get the role, you must audition like other actors.

It's just a formality for you, because this new drama is related to "Nirvana in Fire".

The new Emperor Liang will continue to appear in new dramas, but he will change from the protagonist to a supporting role.

You have to think clearly. The new Liang Emperor has entered old age. In theory, it would be more suitable to find an old actor to fit the role.

Since you have played the role of the new Liang Emperor, if you play the old role, the audience will accept it. It depends on your choice. "

Li Yu has a good relationship with Huang Xiaoming, so I made the stakes clear to him.

If you want to play, you can, but you can only play the new Liang Emperor. The new Liang Emperor is no longer the protagonist.

If you can accept it, then act, if not, forget it.

The prototype of the new Liang Emperor, Xiao Bodhisattva, was a famously long-lived emperor who knew how to maintain good health. At the age of 86, he was able to climb the city wall to comfort the soldiers, and he was in good spirits.

If he hadn't been starved to death by Hou Jing, perhaps Qianlong's title as the longest-lived emperor in history would have belonged to Xiao Bodhisattva.

To sum up, it is reasonable for Huang Xiaoming to play the old role as the new Emperor Liang.

Nowadays, makeup technology is so advanced, and he himself is in his thirties, so it is not difficult to look like he is sixty years old.

It is normal for the 80-year-old New Liang Emperor to be in his early 60s with the first-class maintenance.

However, such a role is a bit tasteless to Huang Xiaoming, a bit tasteless and a pity to abandon.

With his current status and popularity, there is not much need to play a supporting role.

Li Yu believes that Huang Xiaoming should quit.

However, Huang Xiaoming's situation is larger than Li Yu imagined.

Huang Xiaoming said firmly: "I must play the new Emperor Liang. The new Emperor Liang in "Nirvana in Fire" is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. He is the most outstanding character in the entire TV series and the most impressive character to the audience.

If another actor were to play the new Emperor Liang, the audience might get upset.

It doesn’t matter whether there are many roles or not, whether it’s a leading role or a supporting role. I mainly want to play Director Li’s role. "

Huang Xiaoming's vision is farther than ordinary people.

The role of the new Emperor Liang is a bit useless, but Li Yu's future resources are great!
He wants Li Yu's future resources, especially film resources.

Therefore, he is willing to step down and play this supporting role, and say that he will appear as a friendly actor. It will have no impact on his career. This is what artists in the industry do.

Li Yu could see Huang Xiaoming's wishful thinking, but he didn't say anything.

Huang Xiaoming's willingness to play the new Emperor Liang is definitely beneficial to this drama. Even though Huang Xiaoming's reputation has shown signs of collapse in the past two years, he is still one of the most popular actors in the mainland. Although his reputation has not completely collapsed, he still has a large number of fans.

As Huang Xiaoming said, when people mention the new Liang Emperor, they will first think of his face, and there is no need to worry about the audience being upset.

As for future resources, Li Yu is also willing to use actors like Huang Xiaoming who can provide acting skills when needed.

If there is a suitable role, give priority to Huang Xiaoming.

There was no role that suited him, so he couldn't force it.

Because the power of interpretation and decision-making lies with Li Yu.

Another week passed.

Li Yu, Liu Heping and others held a meeting and officially decided on the title of the new play, which was called "The Royal Industry of the Northern Dynasties".

The title of this play is very sophisticated. Gao Huan was known as Little Cao Cao. He did not usurp the throne and proclaim himself emperor during his lifetime, but was only granted the title of King of Bohai.

His opponent Yu Wentai also did not claim the title of emperor or even king during his lifetime, so it is very reasonable to call it "The King of the Northern Dynasties".

As the dust settled on the show's title, auditions for the actors began.

On this day, in a room specially used for auditions, Li Yu, Liu Heping, and Bao Guoan served as judges.

Yes, Bao Guoan also participated in "The King of the Northern Dynasties".

The character he plays is Yu Wenhu, a powerful official who killed the emperor and has the legacy of Prime Minister Cao.

This Cao Cao-like role suits him very well.

He was once a professor of Chinese Opera, so it made sense for him to serve as an audition judge as well.

"The actors should be almost here, right? We can arrange auditions."

Li Yu picked up the teacup and took a sip of water to moisten his throat, then gave instructions to the assistant beside him.

After the assistant went out to do things, while waiting, Liu Heping rubbed his palms and couldn't help but feel a little excited: "I heard that half of the actors in the entertainment industry are here today. Thanks to Director Li, this is the first time I have seen such a big actor. scene.”

Bao Guoan is very calm. After all, he is a man who has acted in "The Three Kingdoms".

No matter how big the audition scene of "The King of the Northern Dynasties" is, it can't keep up with the "Old Three Kingdoms" back then.

"The King of the Northern Dynasties" only brought in half of the actors in the entertainment industry, but "The Three Kingdoms" back then had all the actors of that generation auditioning.

However, the grand occasion of "Old Three Kingdoms" is largely due to the factors of the times. It is destined to be unprecedented and there will be basically no newcomers in the future.

It's somewhat unfair to compare "Old Three Kingdoms" to "The King of the Northern Dynasties".

Therefore, Bao Guoan gave a pertinent evaluation: "Two thousand years later, the most fierce competition for actors should be Director Li's "The King of the Northern Dynasties", which reminds me of "The Three Kingdoms"."

"Hello, director and judges, I am actor He Rundong."

The first actor enters the room.

By the way, the first character I am trying out today is Gao Aocao, a fierce general from the Southern and Northern Dynasties. He once defeated five thousand men with more than ten cavalrymen. He was called Xiang Yu's reincarnation by people at the time.

In history, there are many generals who have been compared to Guan Zhang, but there are very few generals who have been compared to Xiang Yu. It is recognized that there are even fewer generals who can compare with Xiang Yu in terms of bravery.

It just so happens that Gao Aocao meets this condition, so this role must be played by a strong man.

He Rundong is very tall, at least 1.8 meters tall, but his appearance and temperament are a bit soft and a bit naive.

Liu Heping observed this man for a few seconds, shook his head and said to Li Yu: "Gao Ao and Cao Mashan are peerless. They have been compared to Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu. He was recognized as the most powerful general in the world at that time. He should look more powerful and domineering."

"I agree with Teacher Liu's point of view."

Bao Guoan nodded in agreement.

He Rundong, who was standing in front, was a little anxious. He had just come in and was eliminated before he even had a chance to perform?

He doesn't think so.

So, he made a very bold decision on the spot and took off his upper body clothes.

This operation shocked both Liu Heping and Bao Guoan.

Even Li Yu was shocked. He had heard about the hidden rules of auditions in the industry, and knew that there was a precedent for stripping auditions in the industry.

But she was an actress, how could a male actor strip down and audition?
