Huayu started by playing Lao Ai

Chapter 187: Yanjing Division Preliminary

Zheng Jing fully practiced, went deep into the masses, gave valuable suggestions to the "You are really delicious" group, and injected several doses of cardiac stimulant, so that they could sleep peacefully.

The next morning, when the three girls were still sleeping, Zheng Jing washed up, left Li Xiaoran's house, and took a car to the studio of Beijing Film Studio.

As one of the main production bases of Chinese films, Beijing Film Studio has been the center of the Yanjing film and television circle for a long time.

A large number of ordinary people who dream of becoming stars squat near the Beijing Film Studio, working as extras, hoping to become big stars one day.

It’s just that the times are always moving forward, and there is no permanent center.

After the establishment of Huaying Group, Beijing Film Studio was incorporated into the group.

In addition, this place is located in the urban area of Yanjing, the factory area is limited, and the shooting scenes inside the factory are limited.

The number of film crews shooting movies at the Beijing Film Studio gradually began to decrease.

Even so, there are still many extras looking for filming opportunities near the Beijing Film Studio every day.

Zheng Jing drove his car directly into the factory and stopped at the door of Studio No. 4.

Studio No. 4, also known as the Extra Large Studio, covers an area of 1971 square meters. It was built in and was originally used for the filming of model operas.

During this period, this place was rented by the "This is the Actor" program crew for the recording of the program.

Although the "This is the Actor" program is a collaboration with Mango TV, the production and broadcasting of the program are separated, and the recording location was not in Changsha, but in Yanjing.

Firstly, choosing the studio of Beijing Film Studio as the recording location for the program is more grand and representative.

The studio is large enough for easy setup and filming.

Secondly, there are many extras and professional actors in Yanjing, which can cover more contestants.

Seeing Zheng Jing walking into the studio, a program director came over.

After a few polite words, he introduced: "The auditions in the Yanjing area have ended, and 30 people have been selected from the professional and non-professional groups.

Today's recording is the first of the preliminaries. There are 10 performances in total, and 10 people will advance first.

The second session will be recorded tomorrow, and another 10 people will advance.”

This is the actor's audition, which is divided into five major competition areas: Yanjing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chang'an and Jiangcheng.

Each division will select 10 contestants from the professional group and amateur group, totaling 100 people.

Go to Yanjing for 1 exhibition matches over a period of one month, and the champion will be decided in the end.

Currently, the auditions in the two major competition areas of Yanjing and Guangzhou have ended and entered the preliminary stage in advance.

Auditions in the other three major regions are also in progress.

With the director's introduction, Zheng Jing visited the layout of the studio, which had all kinds of scenes, ancient, modern, snack stands, buses, and even homes.

The program auditions test voice, stage presence, appearance, and various talents.

When it comes to the preliminaries, the performances will start directly.

In order to make the performance less embarrassing, the professional group and the amateur group were mixed together.

For some pure vegetarians, they still need professional help.

After Zheng Jing took a walk around, he came to the lounge.

There are three great gods sitting inside, the famous director Cheng Kaige, the famous teacher Cui Xinqin, and the mountain eagle Han Sanpin who is still growing.

Plus Zheng Jing.

The four of them are the four judges of the Yanjing preliminaries.

Zheng Jing greeted Cheng Kaige and Cui Xinqin, and then said to Han Sanpin, "Thank you for your help, President Han. With you on the judging panel, our show is already halfway to success."

Zheng Jing had a lot of fun during the recording of this program.

For the open auditions and preliminary selections at Yanjing, we rented a studio at the Beijing Film Studio, and invited the leaders of the Beijing Film Studio to serve as judges.

In Shanghai is the Shanghai Film Studio, and in Chang’an is the Xi’an Film Studio.

Leaders from Shanghai Film Studio and Xi'an Film Studio were also invited to serve as judges in these two places.

Wherever these film studios are used, it is inevitable to introduce and boast about these three major film studios in the program.

It was for this reason that Han Sanpin decided to show his face as a judge.

After seeing Zheng Jing, Han Sanpin was also very polite.

"Please ask President Zheng to say a few good words for our Beijing Film Studio and Huaying Group on the show."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, everyone sat down and chatted.

Zheng Jing took the initiative to say, “It is said that President Han and Director Cheng have prepared a film project called The Promise?”

Hearing Zheng Jing's question, Cheng Kaige smiled and said, "Yes, Wuji has already been approved.

We plan to build a magical palace on the basis of the Qin Palace, just like Jing Ke assassinated the Qin King, and construct a real magical world."

Seeing Cheng Kaige's confident look, Zheng Jing casually praised him, "Director Cheng is really amazing. He always makes a big move and is going to build a palace again.

If there is anything I can help you with, please tell me.”

This was just a polite remark. Unexpectedly, Cheng Kaige said, "There is indeed one thing that I need your help with, Mr. Zheng."

"please say."

“Our film is a joint production between China, Japan and Korea, and it requires the leading actors to be quite popular.

The film is expected to start auditioning in early September, and we would like to invite artists from your company to come and support us."

Cheng Kaige became jealous after seeing the grand audition of "Burning the Boats".

He also wanted to organize a grand audition to build momentum for Wuji.

"No problem." Zheng Jing said, "If I'm free, I'll lead the team there myself."

In the entertainment industry, interpersonal relationships are inevitable.

Cheng Kaige gave Zheng Jing a lot of face. This was an actor's recording. Zheng Jing invited him and he came.

Including Han Sanpin.

Zheng Jing should show his support when necessary.

"Thank you!" Seeing Zheng Jing agreed readily, Cheng Kaige smiled happily. He said, "Let's see how the audition goes. If Gao Yuanyuan and Yang Xue from your company are willing to play the leading female role, we can discuss it."

Gao Yuanyuan is very popular now, both in Japan and Goryeo.

Yang Xue is not bad either. Lüshi Chunqiu is very popular in Japan, Zheng Jing's Lao Ai has become a cultural trend, and Yang Xue's Zhao Ji is also very popular.

There is a reason why Cheng Kaige mentioned them.

Zheng Jing said with a smile: "The heroine of The Promise must be Teacher Chen Hong. Director Cheng, you have a fairy wife at home."

After the hits of The Monkey King 2 and The Palace of Eternal Life, Chen Hong’s popularity was already high.

In addition to the broadcast of "Lü Bu and Diao Chan", the characters she played, Chang'e and Diao Chan, were as beautiful as fairies and received rave reviews.

Chen Hong seized the tail end of her peak beauty period and solidified her marketing title as “the most beautiful woman in mainland China”.

For a female actress, when the audience approves of your performance as Chang'e or Diao Chan, that is the greatest recognition of your beauty.

After Zheng Jing finished praising, before Cheng Kaige could say anything, Chen Hong suddenly walked into the room and said with a smile: "Mr. Zheng, you are too kind. I have discussed with Old Cheng that I want to be the producer of Wu Ji. I don't have enough energy, so I can just play the second female role."

Chen Hong smiled brightly, and it was obvious that she was very pleased with Zheng Jing's praise.

Especially since Zheng Jing didn't know that she was here today, he was praising her behind her back.

This kind of praise is more sincere.

"Okay, we'll talk about it after the audition.

Our company will be promoting Fan Bingbing next. Her popularity will continue to grow. Director Cheng can consider her. "

Zheng Jing must have encouraged the female artists from his company to play the female lead in The Promise.

Although "The Promise" is a terrible movie, it is really popular.

For female stars, it is a good opportunity for exposure.

As for the issue of bad movies, Cheng Kaige will attract the fire.

The actors weren't scolded much.

Even if I get scolded, I'll still make money and become famous.

As long as you can have both fame and fortune, it doesn't matter if you are scolded.

What's more, Fan Bingbing has a controversial physique. Although he now has an inspirational reputation, he still needs to be controversial to maintain his popularity.

If she could play the female lead in The Promise, it would be a very good resource for Fan Bingbing.

Everyone sat together and chatted for a while, and then the director came in to review the script.

At 10: in the morning, the program began recording.

The 60 contestants came on stage one by one and drew lots.

Six people form a group, randomly draw a script, and perform impromptu on the spot.

After the contestants came on stage, Zheng Jing saw many familiar faces.

There is Chen Sicheng who is not very greasy.

After he was expelled from the Shanghai Theatre Academy for beating someone, he went to study at the Central Academy of Drama.

Although I am now a sophomore, I am already 23 years old.

There was also Wang Baoqi, who was only 17 years old and immature at the time.

In addition to them, Zheng Jing also "knows" Deng Chao, Jin Dong, Zu Feng, Du Chun, Ling Xiaoshu and others.

As for beauties, there weren't many that impressed Zheng Jing.

Apart from Chen Qiaoran, who was specially called over by Zheng Jing, only Yan Danchen and He Lin from Class 96 of Beijing Film Academy had outstanding appearance.

After Yan Danchen successfully lost weight, her facial features became softer and her temperament became gentle;

He Lin has deep eye sockets and a high nose bridge, and looks a bit mixed-race.

Her looks make her naturally suitable for playing villains.

When seeing He Lin, Zheng Jing remembered that he seemed to be Chen Kun’s child, whose birthday was 2002.

Who gave birth to this child has always been a secret.

He Lin is one of the rumored candidates.

In addition to the Class of 96 of Beijing Film Academy, Zeng Li from the Class of 96 of the Central Academy of Drama also came.

The beauties from the Central Academy of Drama include Chen Shu before plastic surgery, and Gao Lu who looks somewhat like Gao Yuanyuan.

Overall, the contestants in the Yanjing preliminaries, especially the amateur group, did not give Zheng Jing too many surprises.

The main reason is that many people think that the Yanjing division is too strong, so they deliberately go to other divisions to increase their chances of advancing.

Even Qin Lan deliberately avoided the Yanjing competition area.

After all the contestants have appeared, the draw will officially begin.

Chen Sicheng and Wang Baoqi are really destined to be in the same group.

Also in the same group are Chen Qiaoran and Gao Lu.

The first script their group drew for their performance was a famous scene by Zheng Jing in Lüshi Chunqiu - the turning of the wheel.

Lu Sheng was bullied by An Guojun and turned the cartwheel in public. From then on, he became completely evil and became Lao Ai.

After some discussion, the six people decided that Chen Sicheng would play Lao Ai.

Gao Lu played Zhao Ji, Chen Qiaoran played Lady Huayang, and two other amateurs played Lu Buwei and Lady Hua Ming.

Wang Baoqi plays An Guojun.

For Wang Baoqi, this was simply asking too much.

But there is no way, the number of people is limited, and we cannot pursue the fit of the characters.

After everyone got the script, they only had three hours to prepare.

This also includes the time for makeup.

The draw will be completed in the morning and the competition will start at 2pm.

There were people filming the whole process, it was a competition reality show.

As for Zheng Jing and the other three judges, they temporarily transformed into mentors and provided guidance to each group.
