Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 53 Teacher Xu Jingjiang who doesn't like acting
"Good boy, this is a powerful move."

"This should be An Yuxuan."

"Yes, this is Jiang Xin?"

"I'm not sure, but the styles are very similar. But this one is definitely Zheng Peipei."

Come back from Chen Cheng.

Wu Jingyuan looked at the several character pictures on the table and was stunned for a moment.

Liang Shengquan, one of the four major directors, said: "It's over. Originally, I didn't know who to choose for these roles, but after seeing Chen Cheng's character drawing, I don't have much impression of the other actors."

Wu Jingyuan also said, "Me too."

Everyone looked at the character drawings drawn by Chen Cheng again, and said at the same time: "These drawings are too magical. We can't look at them again. It would be unfair to the other actors if we look at them again."

Just saying that.

But you can see it all.

Just as Liang Shengquan said, they already have preconceived notions at this point.

No matter how much I thought other actors were good before, I feel they are not so good now.

"Jing Yuan, do you think these actors will bribe Chen Cheng?"

Liang Shengquan said in disbelief.

Wu Jingyuan didn't answer, Li Guoli snorted, "Shengquan, you are so imaginative. Chen Cheng is just a deputy martial arts instructor, how much authority can he have? It's better to bribe you than to bribe him."

Wu Jingyuan also nodded: "That's right, it's better to bribe me."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Li Guoli also added: "In fact, I think this is not just a coincidence."

"Director Li, what do you mean?"

"Does everyone really think this is a coincidence?"

"Is not it?"

Liang Shengquan said.

Li Guoli shook his head firmly: "If you ask me, Chen Cheng's drawings are not coincidental, but he has a full understanding of the characters. This is why we feel that these characters are perfectly suited to The Legend of Sword and Fairy."

This statement was recognized by everyone.

These characters really seem to be created for The Legend of Sword and Fairy.

As soon as they saw them, all the directors had a sense of the picture in their hearts.

At this point, Li Guoli looked at the other directors and asked, "What do you think of these roles?"

"Director Li, let's do as you wish."

"In that case."

Li Guoli paused, then looked at the character pictures again and said, "Then all the benefits will go to Chen Cheng this time."

"This one……"

Everyone didn't understand what Li Guoli meant at first.

After a while.

Everyone smiled bitterly: "There is no other way, we can only let this kid off."

Li Guoli touched his chin and said, "Since this guy has taken such a big advantage, let him audition for other roles later."

……

"Chen Cheng, are you busy recently?"

“Not too busy.”

"I'm glad you're not busy. Come with me to the casting later."

"what……"

In the office, Wu Jingyuan came again.

Chen Cheng blinked: "Audition Female No. 1?"

Wu Jingyuan smiled and said, "You wish."

"The important roles are almost confirmed, but there are some less important roles. Director Li doesn't have time for them at the moment, so I'll ask you to come and participate."

"But I'm just a martial arts instructor."

"You've said it several times. The martial arts instructor is also the director. Besides, some other important roles have been confirmed. The remaining roles are not particularly important and will not have much impact."

"OK then."

Chen Cheng nodded.

In fact, casting seems to be a very cool job.

But it's not an easy task.

Some important roles are okay.

After all, there are few important roles and only a few actors auditioning, so it can be done quickly.

However, there are not only a large number of actors who are not particularly important, but also many who audition.

Especially for some agencies that have some connections, they may not be able to squeeze in big roles into the crew, but they want to squeeze in some small roles.

As a result, the number of people auditioning for these supporting roles among supporting roles is over 50 every day.

This also made Chen Cheng very tired.

Fortunately, a week later, the auditions for almost all the roles in the Legend of Sword and Fairy crew were completed, and Chen Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Director Wu, please don't ask me to do the casting work anymore. It's more tiring than being a martial arts director."

"Haha, I don't know when we can work together again in the future."

"Yes, I must be paid more."

"No." Wu Jingyuan said with empty hands: "Okay, the actor auditions are over. In the next few days, all the actors and other personnel will arrive at the crew. The filming will start in two or three days. You can take a few days off."

"alright."

Chen Cheng was helpless.

Fortunately, all this hard work is not in vain.

At least Chen Cheng was a little selfish.

For example, for the role of Wang Xiaohu, Li Xiaoyao's friend from the same village, Chen Cheng used his authority to give it to Zhang Wei.

Chen Cheng also called Yuan Shanshan and Zhang Xiaofei to audition.

But a pity.

The two performed mediocrely, and there were no non-important roles in The Legend of Sword and Fairy that were suitable for them, so they could only return to school with regret.

However, Chen Cheng still did not expect the huge benefits this audition would bring him.

……

This is not.

Early the next morning, when Chen Cheng was about to have breakfast, someone next to him greeted him.

"Hello, Director Chen."

"you are?"

"I'm Deng Jiajia, and I play the role of the Poison Lady. Thank you, Director Chen. If it weren't for your keen eye, I wouldn't have gotten this role."

"Oh, Poison Lady, I remember, I remember. But it has nothing to do with me. It's mainly about your acting skills."

"Anyway, thank you, Director Chen."

"no, I'm fine……"

Chen Cheng waved his hand.

Before Deng Jiajia finished talking, a voice came from the other side: "Hello, Director Chen."

"you are?"

"I'm Fu Fangling, and I play Ji Sanniang in the play."

"Oh, I remember."

"Thank you, Director Chen."

"Why are you thanking me again?"

"Of course I have to thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here."

"If you want to thank someone, you should thank Director Li. I just submitted your list, but I was not the one who was finally confirmed."

"If you don't approve of me, I won't be able to submit my list."

"..."

Chen Cheng didn't know what to say for a moment.

He really didn't expect it.

This casting has such a big impact.

But what Chen Cheng didn't expect was that

Almost on that day, many actors who met on the set greeted Chen Cheng.

Do you think that's all?
This is just the beginning.

Except for these actors.

Another wave of even bigger actors came directly to Chen Cheng's office.

The first one to come was male No. 1 Hu Ge.

When Hu Ge came to Chen Cheng's office with a bag of fruit, Chen Cheng was dumbfounded.

This is Hugo.

He was such an awesome superstar in his previous life, and now people are giving him gifts.

The second person to come was Xie Junhao who played the Drunken Swordsman.

Perhaps others don’t know who this Xie Junhao is.

Tse Kwan-ho is a well-known Hong Kong actor and once played the leading male role in "The Thirteenth Son of the South China Sea".

It was also this movie that even surpassed my brother Leslie Cheung back then.

Xie Junhao didn't mention anything, but he praised Chen Cheng highly.

The third one is teachers Zheng Peipei and Xu Jingjiang.

Teacher Zheng Peipei participated in Stephen Chow's "Flirting Scholar", in which she played Mrs. Hua.

Not to mention Teacher Xu Jingjiang, almost everyone in Hong Kong or the Mainland knows him.

Chen Cheng was flattered by the arrival of the two seniors.

For some unknown reason, Xu Jingjiang and Chen Cheng hit it off right away when they arrived.

When Teacher Xu Jingjiang saw many of Chen Cheng's paintings, he became very interested and started talking to Chen Cheng about art.

"Chen Cheng, you know, I actually don't like acting."

Looking at Chen Cheng's paintings, Xu Jingjiang said with emotion.

Chen Cheng was puzzled: "Teacher Jing Jiang, if you don't like acting, then what do you like?"

"I like art and calligraphy. Although your painting skills are mediocre, I have to say that these paintings are very artistic and you are very talented. Let's have a good discussion about painting some other day. I think even if you don't act in movies, you can go very far in the field of art in the future."

Looking at Chen Cheng, Xu Jingjiang said seriously.
