Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 228 Embarrassment
"Forehead……"

Huang Ze touched his chin and thought about it, then he felt embarrassed as he couldn't think of anything.

Zhang Manyu should be able to perform that kind of energetic feeling, but she is 25 years old now. There is still a noticeable difference between 25 and 18 years old.

Besides, her Mandarin is very average and she has no foundation in martial arts, which will be a problem when the time comes.

Huang Ze could only write down her name as a backup.

Then I started to review in my mind those female stars who were between the ages of seventeen and twenty-two at the moment in my mind.

Four Dans and Two Ices?

Mr. Zhou is fifteen years old.

International Zhang is ten years old.

Xu Cairen was fifteen years old and Zhao Zhatian was thirteen years old.

Fan Bingbing was born in the 1980s, and the other Bingbing is only sixteen years old.

None of them are suitable!
Are you going to find Gong Li? She's still too old!
"Oh my god!" Huang Ze scratched his head and continued to think, but still couldn't figure it out.

"what……"

"I can't do this question. I can't do it! It's too difficult!"

"What's going on?" Gong Xing passed by the study door and saw Huang Ze scratching his head. He walked in curiously and asked.

"We need to find a suitable actor! But I still haven't figured out who is suitable!" Huang Ze handed the conditions he had written to Gong Xing.

"Under 20 years old, with a solid foundation in martial arts and dance, good Mandarin, a talent for acting, and a stubborn temperament..."

After Gong Xing finished reading, he was stunned for more than ten seconds, as if he was thinking about something, and then he smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"I can't think of one for you either."

"If you want to speak Mandarin well, then you will probably have to look for someone in the mainland or Taiwan. I know you, so you will have to look for someone in the mainland."

"You need to have a stubborn temperament, which is eight out of ten people. You also need to have a talent for acting, so you can only go to a professional school."

"But if you are under 20, many people take the college entrance examination at 18, so it's not too much to take the exam at 20."

"Go visit these three colleges first. If you can't find a place, look for other art colleges. If that doesn't work, hold a wide selection. With your name, there are many people willing to film your movie." Gong Xing began to give advice.

"This is the only way." Huang Ze had no other choice for the time being.

Can't think of it!
Maybe I missed someone, so I'll go for a walk and relax.

If you still can't find the one, then go through the auditions. If you still don't get picked, then you can just find Zhang Manyu in the end.

Um! That's it!

Anyway, this film is not too urgent! I have to prepare for various Oscar pre-awards and PR in the second half of the year. I can’t shoot the film, so I have plenty of time to prepare!

However, even though there were enough materials, Huang Ze always felt uncomfortable if he didn't choose the right Jade Fox, so he started the casting career of the three colleges the next day.

There is no need to go to the Shanghai Theatre Academy. They have already made their selections last time for the role of Thirteenth Aunt.

It is now early August and the new wave of new students has not yet started to be enrolled.

Huang Ze flew directly to Beijing.

First choice...

Nonsense, as a director who graduated from Beijing Film Academy, when choosing actors, of course I would go to the Central Academy of Drama!

Huang Ze was also willing to follow the crowd, thinking that if he went to the Beijing Film Academy, he might have another chat, have lunch, and then chat until the evening. Since he would have to chat until the evening, he might as well go to the Central Academy of Drama first.

When teachers from my alma mater asked me about it, I said I wanted to spend more time with my alma mater.

What a thoughtful student! How much he misses his alma mater!
When we walked into the Central Academy of Drama, it was summer vacation, so there were obviously fewer people in the school.

A teacher recognized Huang Ze and said, "Huang Ze, right?"

"it's me."

"Are you here at our school looking for actors?"

"Yes, the second female lead in the new film." Huang Ze nodded with a smile.

"Then come with me!" The teacher immediately grabbed Huang Ze, as if afraid that Huang Ze would run away.

In fact, this teacher was really afraid that Huang Ze would run away.

Huang Ze's plays have been very popular in recent years, but he has rarely praised the students of the Central Academy of Drama. How can this be possible?

If this continues, Beijing Film Academy will soon be completely surpassed.

Although the Central Academy of Drama is more focused on training drama actors, we must never give up in film and television dramas!
On the way, the teacher kept muttering that it was a pity that all the students had gone home, and he could call back all those who were still in the capital.

"No, don't bother. I want to find an actress under 22 years old who has practiced dance or martial arts and has good acting skills. I don't know how to put this into words. You should have photos of your students, right? Just show me the photos."

"Photos?" The teacher's eyes flickered, thinking that if he looked at the photos, this year's freshmen could also be included in the selection range, but he did not dare to agree immediately, and only said that he would report to the director.

After one hour.

The director of the Performance Department also came, and the files of those students were retrieved and handed over to Huang Ze to review one by one!

The attitude was very good. Of course, what Huang Ze said about being under 22 years old was automatically ignored.

Even photos of female students from Gong Li's class who have already graduated were brought out.

Huang Ze couldn't refuse the kind invitation, so he just went through them one by one.

After passing level 85, I didn’t find it.

There was no enrollment in 86, but there were two familiar faces in 87, Xu Fan and Jiang Shan, but this didn't match Yu Jiaolong, so she passed again.

The freshmen of 88 and this year also passed.

Huang Ze had no choice but to have a meal together before going to his alma mater, Beijing Film Academy.

Compared to the Central Academy of Drama where he had to walk a long way inside before being recognized, when he returned to his alma mater, Huang Ze was recognized by the security guard at the door, "Hey, you, you must be the Huang Ze."

"Yes, it's me."

This made Huang Ze very happy, and a smile appeared on his face.

"I love your singing so much. By the way, why didn't you perform on the Spring Festival Gala later?"

The smile stopped...

I originally thought it was due to the influence of my alma mater, but it turns out it was because of the Spring Festival Gala.

But it's good to be recognized.

Huang Ze was not discouraged. He signed for the security guard and walked in. He found the teacher who was still on duty and got the students' files.

There was no enrollment in 85 or 86, so we started directly from the class of 87.

There are a few familiar faces, such as one named Kong Lin, Yan'er in "Raise the Red Lantern", Huang Rong in "The Return of the Condor Heroes", and Palace Master Yao Yue in "The Little Fish and the Flowerless".

Looking further down, she can dance, but her appearance at the moment is not very memorable, so she can only be regarded as a backup.

In level 88, there is Lao Gu’s previous life wife Jiang Wenli, who is Xu Qing, but her image doesn’t quite fit the bill.

Look at level 89 again, Yu Feihong?
She is actually one grade later than Xu Qing?
Huang Ze was a little surprised, but of course it was just a little surprised, as her image of Yu Jiaolong did not match his own.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck!"

“Can’t find an actor?”

With a slight sigh, Huang Ze closed the file and returned it to the teachers.

"did not find?"

"I don't think there's anything suitable." Huang Ze shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Maybe my requirements are a bit biased."

"How about waiting until the students start school and meeting them in person then?"

"No need." After seeing the file, Huang Ze felt there was no need to meet in person.

Let’s arrange people to organize auditions in major cities first.

It can be used to select actors and promote the film at the same time.

Although good publicity doesn't bring much economic benefits these days, it can at least increase your fame.

It’s a win-win situation anyway!

"Brother Huang, Brother Huang!" At this time, a dusty man walked in. It was Wang Zhiwen. After seeing Huang Ze, he panted and said, "I called you and it was my sister-in-law who answered. She said you were in Beijing. Later, I heard that you came to school. Sure enough, you were there."

"I have found the author you asked me to inquire about."

"He is indeed dead, but his wife is still alive. She is a retired teacher and now lives in Haiding District."
