Huayu: As a child star, I just want to be famous

Chapter 171 All handsome men and beautiful women
The audition held by the crew this time was quite large in scale, and Dragon and Kirin Company was already well-known in the industry.

Whether it is a self-produced drama or a drama co-produced with other companies, it has never failed. It has also participated in annual dramas such as "The Great Tang Empire" and has experience in large-scale productions.

This time, "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" is a drama co-produced with CCTV, and it is also a big production.

And as the original author of this martial arts drama, Gu Long is a master who is as famous as Jin Yong, and the excitement of the story is unquestionable.

His other works such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Twins" have achieved good ratings.

This time, "Chu Liuxiang" is the first adaptation of this novel in mainland China. The Hong Kong and Taiwan versions were all works from the last century and did not have a particularly great influence in mainland China.

It has the right time, place and people, and it is guaranteed to be supported by mainland audiences.

In fact, this is true. The previous version of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" had many flaws, and it was broadcast in 2007, a year that was not very friendly to martial arts films, but it still achieved good results.

To sum up, other actors had the same consideration, so many of them came to audition.

It’s just that the first-line male actors are a bit awkward. The most outstanding character in this drama is the absolute protagonist Chu Liuxiang.

But I heard that Chen Linfeng had already been cast, and no one had the confidence to replace him, so those who participated in the audition were basically male actors who were second-tier or later, and were aiming for other roles.

The actresses were really excited, as they were acting with Chen Linfeng, not to mention the popularity the role itself would bring them.

Just being in the same crew with him, maybe I would fall in love with him and turn the fake into reality.

The young, rich and talented handsome boy who has just reached adulthood is so charming.

Therefore, the competition for several important female roles in "Chu Liuxiang" was very fierce.

The most intense competition is between the two roles of Su Rongrong and Zhang Jiejie.

Su Rongrong is Chu Liuxiang's confidante at the beginning of the story. She is portrayed in great detail in the original novel as gentle, considerate, and kind-hearted.

In the last century, Zhao Yazhi became famous for playing this role.

Zhang Jiejie is a woman who can attract Chu Liuxiang at first sight. She is also one of the few women that Chu Liuxiang is sure to like. She even gave birth to a child for him and is also an important character.

The role had already been confirmed, and Chen Linfeng informed Fang Hua, one of the producers, and the director. Neither of them had any objections, so it was finally confirmed.

Several Huayi actresses including Huo Siyan, Hu Jing and Zhao Liying were there.

Huo Siyan originally had the image of a pure and innocent girl, but this track is too sexy and she can’t handle it anymore, so she has recently started to turn to a sexier style and has been wearing cooler clothes.

Huayi experienced the major incident of Wang Jinghua leaving last year. Many pillars were pulled away, which made other artists in the company smell an opportunity and are now scrambling for it.

Although several actors from Huayi were from the same company, they looked very unfamiliar and seemed to be eight feet away from each other.

Hu Jing did not fight for Su Rongrong like she did in her previous life, but instead took a fancy to the character of Zhang Jiejie.

This direction is wrong and there is no point in trying.

In the end, the role of Su Rongrong was not taken by Hu Jing as written on Chen Linfeng's note, but fell into the hands of someone else.

Tang Ning, an actor from Hong Kong, was said to have been chosen by the director, and Fang Hua, as the producer, agreed to the casting.

This actress, who previously played Shi Feixuan in "The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", also appeared as the protagonist in Tang Ren's "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" some time ago.
Chen Linfeng suspected that the director might have some selfish motives here. After all, as a director from Hong Kong Island, it was normal for him to prefer actors from Hong Kong Island.

But the choice has to be made. The director has the power in this regard, and he didn't make a random choice. The female characters in "Chu Liuxiang" are almost all vases, and beauty is the first priority.

Tang Ning is not inferior to other actresses in terms of appearance, and her acting skills also have a certain foundation. As a TVB actor, she has a guaranteed reputation.

As for the roles written on the other notes, the director selected them according to Chen Linfeng's suggestions.

In addition, other important roles have also been determined.

Shi Guanyin is played by Xiao Qiang, who also appeared in "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" in her previous life. She played a brothel proprietress at the beginning, but now she has become a female villain.

This is reasonable. Xiao Qiang was quite beautiful when she was young, so it fits the setting.

The description of Shi Guanyin in the book is "Her beauty is actually unimaginable, because her beauty has completely occupied people's imagination." It's just that she is old, and she is jealous of the looks of other beauties such as Qiu Lingsu and Qu Wulong.

A Little Red in the Central Plains is played by Zhao Feihong, who is an action expert and has no problem playing the role of such a cool and stern swordsman.

In "The Great Desert", Chu Liuxiang's other good friend Ji Bingyan is played by Zhang Junning, who is also a handsome guy.

This is an actor under the Haiyan Company. He recently filmed "Five Star Hotel", which has not been aired yet. He is considered a newcomer.

The villain Bat Prince in "Bat Legend" is played by Zhang Zhiyao, who was the protagonist of "The New Adventures of Chor Liu-heung" in his previous life. It can be considered a kind of fate that he now plays the villain he once fought against.

The Bat Prince is a blind man. Zhang Zhiyao played Hua Manlou in "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" in his previous life. He was also a blind man. He played the role very vividly. I believe he will be able to play the role well in his next role.

In addition, the female villain in "The Thrush", Liu Wumei, is played by Mu Tingting, who is a classmate of Chen Linfeng and is in the acting class of a vocational high school.

This actress has great acting skills and can play female villains with ease. She later acted in "Peacock Feather" with Shi Xiaolong, which left a deep impression on people.

The actors are basically in place, and within the next half month, everything including location selection, costumes and props will be almost ready.

The opening ceremony was scheduled for early February, basically after Chen Linfeng participated in the Akutagawa Prize award ceremony.

After the audition, Liu Qianqian and Chen Linfeng returned to school together.

The two were walking and chatting in the school.

She is now in the last half year of her senior year and doesn't have much to do at school, but she still goes to school often to chat with Chen Linfeng, Shu Chang and others.

"How is the preparation of your graduation thesis going?" Chen Linfeng asked.

Liu Qianqian nodded. There was already a title: "A Brief Discussion on Ways to Improve Actors' Acting Skills."

Ok?
Isn’t it “A Brief Discussion on the Creativity of Actors”, a thesis title that often appeared in online articles in the previous life?

Liu Qianqian briefly told him the origin of her idea, which was actually related to Chen Linfeng.

Over the years, Chen Linfeng always made fun of her acting skills.

Liu Qianqian also tried her best to make some improvements in this regard and tried many methods.

At least for now, it is effective.

It was also because of this experience that she learned more about various ways to improve acting skills, which was just the right topic for her thesis.

Chen Linfeng nodded. Only when one has feelings in his heart can he write something without doing anything crooked.

Although the standards for dissertations are not strict nowadays, being a celebrity can easily lead to people digging up your dark history, like the guy who didn’t know about CNKI.

Chen Linfeng asked again, "How is the 'Invisible Wings' that I gave you before going now? Has the single been made?"

Liu Qianqian was somewhat happy when she talked about this. "It's already been made. I'm just thinking about how to publish it."

She put her hands behind her back and walked backwards while looking at Chen Linfeng, "I want to shoot an MV, and you can appear in the scene for me then."

Chen Linfeng was about to agree when he suddenly saw a bicycle passing by. He grabbed her arm and said, "Walk carefully."

Liu Qianqian blinked and said nothing.

Chen Linfeng said, "Of course, I can, but I'm very busy after the New Year, so I don't think I'll have much time."

"It's okay. I'll discuss it with Sister Mei when the time comes, when you're not busy."

Liu Qianqian finished speaking and waved her hand, "I have to go back first."

"Bye-Bye."
