China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 743 So similar
Cao Qing has a good eye for casting, the actress who plays Mulan is a junior high school student.

According to Cao Qing's narration, the process of how he selected this little girl was very interesting.

At first he saw the video of this little girl on Douyin.

We have now entered the era of short videos, and a large number of Internet celebrities have emerged on short video platforms such as Douyin.

In the early days of the rise of short videos, there was indeed a large number of grassroots who made enough money by relying on short video platforms and achieved class transition.

However, things gradually changed after the emergence of internet celebrity companies of all sizes.

After countless internet celebrity companies sprang up like mushrooms after a rain, short video platforms developed into giants, and the counterattack of losers basically disappeared.

Because there is something called traffic exposure.

The internet celebrity company is responsible for spending money for operations. If you don’t buy traffic or exposure, not many people will see your video.

This is also why people say that there were a lot of high-quality videos on Douyin at the beginning.

In the later period, the style gradually changed and the content began to become stereotyped. Once a video became popular, countless Internet celebrities would immediately follow suit.

This is all thanks to those internet celebrity companies and capital operations.

At present, the Douyin platform has not yet developed to the level where one must sign a contract with an internet celebrity company to become popular.

It is precisely because grassroots people still have opportunities now that Cao Qing was able to see this little girl when he was watching short videos.

This little girl is very beautiful and looks a bit like Liu Yifei.

Even Liu Yifei couldn't help but marvel at how similar the girl looked when he saw her imitation makeup.

At that time, Cao Qing saw on the DouShou platform that the girl’s parents had put makeup on her to imitate Liu Yifei’s Little Dragon Girl.

He was amazed at the time and felt that this little girl was very suitable to play the young Mulan.

He sent a private message to the other person on Douyin, saying that he was a director and wanted to hire the girl to make a movie.

This approach will definitely not work.

This method is equivalent to sending a text message to others saying that I am Qin Shihuang, give me 200 V, and when I am resurrected, I will make you a general. No one will believe this statement at all.

If someone believed it, then he was also a rare genius among millions.

The interesting part is here. Just when Cao Qing was worrying about how to get in touch with the girl's family.

One day, his mother called him and said that a cousin of his was getting married and asked him to go back for the banquet.

At that time, Cao Qing didn't think much about it. He felt that he had spent most of his time working outside in recent years, and sometimes he could not go back to his hometown for a few days a year.

Anyway, it’s good to go back when you have time, and get together with relatives, otherwise we will become strangers.

Then a magical thing happened. He actually met the little girl and her parents at his cousin's wedding.

Later, I found out that the little girl was a relative of the bride.

At that time, Cao Qing really experienced what it meant to plant flowers with care but have them not bloom, but to plant willows by accident and have them grow into a shade.

He went home for a banquet and found the best actress to play the role of Little Mulan.

This kind of thing may sound a little outrageous, but it is not uncommon in the entertainment industry.

Many stars were discovered by scouts or directors by chance and eventually entered the entertainment industry.

For example, Liu Yifei’s best friend Shu Chang was spotted by a director while taking photos in a photo studio and eventually entered the entertainment industry, embarking on a path she had never imagined.

There is another beauty in the entertainment industry, Gao Yuanyuan, who was discovered by a scout because of her outstanding appearance when she was shopping with her friends. She was then invited to shoot a lot of commercials, and finally made a name for herself in the advertising circle and then entered the entertainment industry. There are also some unlucky people who drag their friends to auditions, originally wanting to give themselves a little confidence.

Having a familiar friend around makes me feel more at ease.

They didn't expect that it was precisely because of the presence of their friends that their world fell.

Because the director took a liking to their friends at first sight and ignored them.

This was the case with Zhou Yumin, who was part of the famous F4 group in Taiwan more than a decade ago.

A friend took him to an audition, and he was selected while his friend was eliminated.

Then he was lucky enough to become famous in Asia with the TV series "Meteor Garden".

The little girl chosen by Cao Qing will definitely not have as good a life as Zhou Yumin.

However, with the popularity of Xiaohua Mulan, even if you become an internet celebrity, as long as you don't act rashly, you can easily earn enough money to spend for a lifetime.

This is what people who stand on the vent of the wind are like. This is why some bigwigs say that even a pig standing on the vent of the wind can fly.

However, this little girl's acting skills are average, so the progress of filming her scenes is relatively slow.

As a director, Cao Qing was mentally prepared for this.

She is just a girl in her teens, in junior high school, and has never learned how to act.

It was somewhat unreasonable to ask someone to act in a movie suddenly, so Cao Qing was very tolerant and was willing to spend time explaining the play to the young girl and slowly progress.

Anyway, Mulan doesn't have many scenes, so as long as the filming turns out well, it doesn't matter if it takes a little more time.

"Director Cao is really amazing. He actually found a girl who looks so much like me. Even my mother said that she looks 50% like me in the past." Liu Yifei exclaimed.

"She's similar to you in more ways than just appearance, right?" Li Yu said with a smile.

"Oh, are there other places where you are similar to me? Tell me, why can't I see it?" Liu Yifei became interested. She wanted to hear if there were other places where you were similar to her.

"Her acting skills are very similar to yours. To have good acting skills, you need to be dedicated and have good attitude," said Li Yu.

After hearing this, Liu Yifei finally understood Li Yu's plan. It turned out that he was making fun of his poor acting skills.

Looking at Li Yu's smug face, Liu Yifei clenched his fists in hatred.

It’s so abominable. This bitch hits my sore spot again.

I really hope that one day I can succeed in counterattacking and give him a slap in the face.

Li Yu seemed to have guessed what Liu Yifei was thinking. It was not hard to guess, as Liu Yifei's thoughts were written all over her face.

“I hope that one day, you can really slap me in the face with a Best Actress award,” Li Yu added.

The fact that Liu Yifei was able to win the Best Actress award based on her actual strength shows that a miracle has happened.

A miracle has happened, so what if Li Yu suffers a little loss and gets slapped in the face by Liu Yifei?

Sadly, this is destined to be a once-in-a-lifetime series.

But to be honest, if the domestic entertainment industry continues to suffer from this rot, Liu Yifei might really be able to win the Best Actress award in her lifetime.

The new actors are getting worse with each generation. Compared with those popular fresh meat and small flower, Liu Yifei actually has acting skills. This is the charm of being set off by his peers.

Of course, Liu Yifei still had no confidence in her chance of winning the Best Actress award. She instantly lost her temper and said with a sigh, "Forget it. Winning the Best Actress award is too difficult for me. I'd rather be laughed at by you. Anyway, I'll get used to it after a lot of ridicule."
