Unscientific Movie King

Chapter 73 Audition
Stephen Chow is from Hong Kong Island, but the audition for Kung Fu was not held in Hong Kong Island.

But the Demon City.

Because most of the scenes of this drama were shot at the Shanghai Film and Television Base.

As for Pig Cage Village, it was built temporarily by the crew and was not located in the film and television base, but it was also in Shanghai.

For this purpose, Zhou Xingchi and his production team stationed here half a year ago.

One day in advance, Qin Chuan and Jin Lian boarded a plane to the Magic City.

On the plane, Jinlian gave Qin Chuan some information about Zhou Xingchi: "Zhou Xingchi is a little weird, no one knows what questions he will ask you, so be smart when the time comes."

Qin Chuan looked relaxed: "I see. When it comes to being smart, don't you understand me?"

Jinlian was afraid: "Don't mention it. I told you, you should answer whatever Zhou Xingchi asks you. If you don't know, just say you don't know. Don't be like last time."

She can't afford to offend Zhou Xingchi, this big Buddha, let alone her, Cai Yinong can't afford to offend him either.

If Qin Chuan can’t audition for the role, then he can’t audition. It’s no big deal.

If you offend someone, that would be a big deal.

For a director of Zhou Xingchi's level to say a few bad things about Qin Chuan, who in the circle would dare to use him in the future?

Before, when Qin Chuan was interviewing for the role of A Chinese Ghost Story, he dared to lie to deceive Li Huizhu and Cheng Xiaodong.

This time, Jinlian said she would not let him do that no matter what.

Zhou Xingchi is famously unpredictable, like a man's name and a tree's shadow. You say you can shoot a gun, but the next second he might give you a gun to try.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on." Qin Chuan looked at Zhou Xingchi's information from his debut to the present without raising his head.

Jinlian provided a lot of information, including Zhou Xingchi’s personal resume, as well as a lot of news and gossip.

In the girlfriend section, he ate the melon with gusto.

Jinlian's eyes were blazing with anger, and she wanted to slap him: "Brother, I asked you to read the information so that I could understand Zhou Xingchi's preferences and personality. You've been reading these pages for a long time."

Qin Chuan was still thinking about who Director Zhou loved in his life when his thoughts were interrupted.

"Sister Jin, you don't understand. If you want to understand a man, the easiest way is to understand what kind of woman he likes."

“Most people are actually looking for the missing half of their own personality when they are looking for a partner.”

"For example, a person who is introverted and lonely actually longs for excitement. When he sees a bold, enthusiastic, and generous woman, he will naturally be more attracted to her."

"Of course, there are also a small number of people who are looking for someone who is on the same wavelength as them, hoping that their souls will resonate and they can become both soulmates and lovers."

Jinlian sneered: "Keep making it up."

Qin Chuan put down the information and said seriously: "I am not making this up. Just like you, Sister Jin, you appear to be a career woman, but you will never look for an entrepreneur, a company leader, a corporate executive, or a domineering CEO."

"Women like you, in your heart, still hope to find a gentle, considerate, young, handsome man with a skill who can take care of your emotions."

Jinlian folded her hands over her chest and closed her eyes: "I didn't, I wasn't, don't talk nonsense."

Qin Chuan smiled and said nothing.

Two hours later, the plane arrived at the Magic City Airport.

The two found a hotel to stay in.

Jinlian first went to scout the hotel where the audition would be held and communicated with the production team about the specific audition time.

The next day, Qin Chuan, led by Jinlian, came to the audition location.

Looking around, there were crowds of people outside the apartment, at least several hundred people, squatting everywhere.

Jinlian explained: "These are the ones who have been screened. 90% of the people will not receive an audition notice."

I thought Qin Chuan would be surprised when he realized the cruelty of the competition, but Qin Chuan was not surprised at all, and his expression was as it should be.

"It would be strange if director Zhou Xingchi didn't have many actors in his plays."

There are a few legends in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, one every two weeks.

Whether it is Cheng Long or Chow Yun-fa, who are as famous as Stephen Chow, in their movies, the audience will only remember the protagonists.

Zhou Xingchi is different. His plays and supporting roles are equally impressive, and he is willing to give young people opportunities.

So every one of his movies always brings out one or two outstanding newcomers.

This is also the reason why so many people come to audition.

The few hundred people at the scene was already considered a small scene. In Qin Chuan's later memory, when filming The Mermaid and Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons, they only had to pick one person out of tens of thousands of people.

Qin Chuan and Jin Lian came to the apartment lobby to report and register.

After registering, Qin Chuan was about to wait outside when Jin Lian grabbed him and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Go outside and wait until your name is called."

"Who told you to wait outside?"

The girl at the front desk smiled and said, "Hey handsome guy, you can take the elevator to the sixth floor and wait. Someone will notify you when it's your turn."

Jinlian dragged Qin Chuan, a country bumpkin, into the elevator before saying, "Those outside are mostly students, extras, and extras, who come here to try their luck." "You are a debut artist signed by a regular company, how could you possibly wait with them?"

Auditions are also divided into different levels. Those who have a good relationship with the director or are famous will get the role before the audition even starts.

Only when there is no suitable candidate will the director outsource the role to the entertainment industry and cast a wide net to select the right actor.

For an ordinary crew, it would be over at this stage.

But Zhou Xingchi is an exception. He probably wanted to try more possibilities, so he cast a wide net.

I hope to find someone suitable for his role among young actors or ordinary people.

That's why there are so many people outside waiting for opportunities.

"arrive."

The elevator stopped on the sixth floor, and after the door opened, a staff member came to greet us.

On the left is a long aisle, which is already full of people.

On the right is the same layout, but there is only one staff member guarding there, and behind him is the audition room.

"Sir, Madam, this way please."

Qin Chuan and Jin Lian found an empty seat and sat down. As soon as Qin Chuan sat down, he smiled and greeted the people around him.

"Hello, everyone."

"Hello there!"

The person who answered him was Chen Guokun, who looked very similar to Bruce Lee. He looked very nervous and didn't say much after saying hello.

Qin Chuan looked at the woman on his left. She was in her fifties, with a bob haircut, a white floral dress, slippers, and her legs crossed.

One look at the landlady.

"Hello, Teacher Yuan Qiu."

"You know me?" Yuan Qiu was surprised.

She has been out of the film industry for 18 years and has not been filming any movies. This time she came here simply to audition with her friend.

I wasn’t famous when I was filming the movie, so I don’t understand how this handsome guy recognized me at the first sight.

Qin Chuan smiled and explained: "I watched your movies when I was a kid, and to be honest, I'm still your fan."

Yuan Qiu had never thought that even though she had left the martial arts world a long time ago, there were still legends about her in the martial arts world. She immediately smiled and said, "You are a good young man. You have good taste. What plays of mine have you seen?"

Qin Chuan had seen Mao, but he had no idea what he was saying. He was just being polite.

"I've seen a lot of them, most of them. Teacher Yuan, are you here to audition? Are you the landlady?"

"No, I am accompanying my friend, this one..."

Listening to Qin Chuan trying to get close to others, Jinlian was speechless. This guy can chat with anyone.

But then again, she still didn't recognize who Yuan Qiu was, so how did Qin Chuan know?

Meng Lang traveled to a troubled time.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he found that he could obtain evil spirits by killing demons and evildoers, and infinitely improve his martial arts skills.

But when he raised his head, he found that everywhere he looked were demons that brought disaster to the world, and all he saw were corrupt officials.

The dynasty has long been corrupt. The Demon-Slaying Department, which is supposed to protect the human race, has been colluding with demons behind the scenes, disregarding the lives of the people and only seeking prosperity and pleasure.

The superiors in Kyoto live a life of luxury every day, but the common people at the bottom of society go hungry and have no clothes to wear, and their lives are in misery.

So Meng Lang got angry.

He raised the knife in his hand, filled the cup with wine, killed one person every ten steps, and left no trace in a thousand miles.

He was determined to chop out this damn demonic chaos in the world with one sword, and create a bright and clear world and a bright and clear sky!

He is determined to kill all the demons in the world and bring peace and prosperity to the human race.

A road filled with blood unfolded before Meng Lang's eyes.

……

……

A few years later, the seven demon gods came down to the mortal world together, but there was no blood offering prepared by the descendants of the demon clan. Instead, they saw Meng Lang sitting on countless white bones with a knife.

Endless evil spirit rises into the sky, and the chilling murderous intent reaches the sky!
Meng Lang: "My sword is famous for slaying demons and monsters. Have you heard of it?"

……

……

If there is injustice in the world, I will drink and chop off people's heads with a knife.

My name is Meng Lang. I am not only very strong, but also very romantic.
