Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 121 Who is the shortest among the students?

September 9, Autumnal Equinox.

Li Wenyu took Megan Fox to visit the military training of Beijing Film Academy freshmen, and then returned to Time Media to let her do as she pleased.

After all, in order to compete with Blake for good movie roles, including the leading female role in "The Big Bang Theory", Megan and Blake had already entered the industry with one-on-one coaching from professional acting teachers.

Megan, an American girl, took leave and did not attend the 03 military training.

But she wants to integrate into the campus in the future, and simply getting to know her classmates is just a side thing. She only knows English and has just started learning Mandarin, so she needs to ask an interpreter when she goes out.

But it is integrated into the broader context of Chinese and Mandarin.

Learn slowly over time.

In the large office of Shiguang Media, Li Wenyu had just sat down when he heard the report that Dong Li and Teacher Zhang had arrived.

Li Wenyu went out to greet him. Xiao Dong didn't have anything worth accepting, so Teacher Zhang came to help.

This was announced on the 10th. Time Media is looking for a young actress of about or years old for their new TV series "Wulin Wai Zhuan".

You can apply from all over the country.

This audition team is led by Mr. Zhang, who often serves as an examiner in the Beijing Film Academy's art exams. Dong Li, Huang Xiaolei, Yu Bo, Ye Jing and others will also help to screen.

Ten days? That’s a lot of audition registration information to receive!

During this audition by Time Media, anyone can send an email to the "Wulin Wai Zhuan" crew on Weibo, and the email will include photos.

You can also upload short videos of singing and dancing talents and let the audition team on Shi Guang's side watch the videos through download mode.

Another way is to send envelopes, mail packages, etc. to the Shiguang Media headquarters.

The auditions are held both online and offline, and they are very popular.

The Internet these days is buzzing with people like Gao Yuanyuan, Tong Liya, and Zhang Bozhi representing the most beautiful girls from various places or cities over the past 100 years, competing with various states in the United States.

The biggest news on the entire Internet is Shi Guang’s auditions!

This is the temptation of fame and fortune!
For example, Yang Mi's Weibo has versions inside and outside the wall, each with millions of fans, and she is also a big V. She publicly @ the official Weibo of the "Wulin Wai Zhuan" crew to congratulate a little sister in advance for being lucky enough to be selected.

That could be like her, an unknown little girl a year or two ago.

Now, after experiencing the hits of "The Piano Tuner" and "My Love from the Star", I can earn 30 yuan per advertisement before tax, and the TVB dramas I take on are also tens of thousands of yuan per episode.

This is really profitable!
Shiguang Media is cultivating a gold mine.

Yang Mi revealed her income on Weibo, at least the advertisement was clear and understandable.

Wishing a junior sister in advance that she can walk on this avenue of stardom?

Yang Mi has attracted hundreds of thousands of new fans because of these new developments!
In 2003, for the entire nation, what could be more tempting than suddenly becoming rich? This was even more exaggerated than winning the lottery.

Yang Mi has achieved what she has today after one or two years of training.

The explosive income and the expansion of auditions, which are more stimulating, have led to a sharp increase in the number of young actors to be selected.

Li Wenyu welcomed Teacher Zhang and Dong Li into the office. Both of them were holding a large cardboard box.

Putting the box down, Teacher Zhang took a sip of tea and sighed, "Mr. Li, I'm so glad you've fulfilled your mission. I've received so many emails these days, including physical mail packages and letters."

"We initially screened the information of tens of thousands of people and selected 100 files for you."

"Judging from the Beijing Film Academy's art exam model, these girls around ten years old generally have excellent looks and figures."

Dong Li was also nervously drinking water. "I'm dazzled by the selection. It's really hard to choose."

"Brother, if this situation continues for another month or two, the number of files sent in will easily exceed 100,000, or even 1 million."

Most of the time, Zhang Yimou's selection of candidates for the role of "Mou Girl" lasts from half a year to a year.

It takes a lot of time for Stephen Chow to select the cast for his new movie.

Li Wenyu smiled and shook his head. "I also hope to find a suitable candidate as soon as possible. Thank you for your hard work. Our company will definitely provide you with plenty of delicious food and drinks."

"Teacher Zhang, if you want to recommend a good student to join the crew one day, it will definitely be no problem if their acting skills are good enough."

Dong Li and other people in the circle were eager to help, of course not just for a few meals.

Resources are what matters.

The same is true for teachers of art examinations at Beijing Film Academy.

Teacher Zhang smiled hastily and politely, showing his high emotional intelligence directly and clearly.

After Teacher Zhang left, Old Li asked with a smile, "How's your experience with the A World Without Thieves crew? Are you getting used to it?"

In August, the movie "Mobile Phone" was a huge flop when it was released in Hong Kong Island.

Lao Feng gave the female lead role, which originally belonged to Milk Tea Liu, to Dong Li and Azhi to choose between. Azhi still let Dong Li choose first.

Is it a collaboration with Feng and Huayi? Or is it starring in Er's A Midnight in Mongkok?

Xiao Dong chose A World Without Thieves, not for any other reason, but simply because he had filmed four movies in a row in Hong Kong Island and didn't want to stay there for a long time.

The climate, living environment, etc. all put pressure on her.

She grew up in Northeast China, went to Beijing to study for a few years, and then went to Hong Kong for more than a year. The typhoon season there lasts for several months every year, and she couldn't stand it after a long time.

Dong Li's choice? She didn't know how much A World Without Thieves could yield, nor was she sure if Mong Kok Dark Night would win any prizes.

Just to go back to Beijing to film and experience Beijing life again, I chose A World Without Thieves.

The crew hasn't officially started filming yet and is still in the midst of preparations.

The main creative team has already had a big reunion, and there have been many meetings and script readings.

Dong Li smiled sweetly, "Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother. It's great to have someone like Brother Hua here."

"Huayi and Director Feng were also very polite to me, and everything went smoothly. I even found it outrageous. I now feel like their pomp and circumstance is even bigger than Li Bingbing's."

In this version of A World Without Thieves, the female thief who follows Uncle Ge is still as thin as ice.

You want Shou Bing to play the second female lead supporting Zhang Bozhi, that's normal!

Suddenly Dong Li is at the bottom? It's not a big deal. Shou Bing had a fierce performance with the help of "The Tuner", but her role is too marginal.

Li Wenyu nodded, "You'll get used to it."

Dong Li suddenly blinked and said, "Brother, I forgot to mention that besides performing in school, rehearsing and filming kissing scenes is a mismatch. My previous movies involving these scenes were also a mismatch."

"I still have my first kiss. Do you want to teach me how to really throw myself into the performance?"

Old Li was almost stabbed and his head was spinning. He rubbed his temple and said, "Let's have a good chat instead of this. I've been tempted too much."

He chatted with Xiao Dong for a few more words and mentioned Tong Liya, another girl who also lived near the Beijing Film Academy and studied acting with her senior sister. He said that the two looked a bit similar.

I asked Dong Li to meet her and take her with her if she had time, and then I watched this little beauty leave.

Next, he opened two large cardboard boxes and looked at the information of 100 young actors.

These one hundred data files basically all contain videos, whether they are videotapes mailed from all over the world, VCDs or DVDs, or uploaded to the Internet and then downloaded by Time staff.

All are stored in a mobile hard drive.

Li Wenyu quickly flipped through the information. Most of them were unfamiliar girls, from the three northeastern provinces to Yunnan Province, and from Xinjiang Province to Wanwan Team.

From time to time, one or two pieces of slightly familiar information will pop up.

Two of them, even future internet celebrity girlfriends, have advanced to the actress track.

Li Wei and Jin Chen, two young actresses born in the 90s, are the most famous in this batch of information in the future.

Li Wenyu put down his mouse for a moment, took a sip of tea, and grumbled, "Put her on the shortlist for now. Her acting is terrible." "Compared to the original Wang Shasha, she's a far cry from him!"

[Wulin Wai Zhuan] Utsurohara Mo Xiaobei's Wang Shasha? Her acting is really good. Her performance in the film is so good that even at the age of 14, she can beat many 30-year-old 90s actresses.

The problem is that Wang Shasha's face is too ordinary, and she is suitable for all kinds of supporting roles, acting skills, including playing important supporting female roles in movies.

As for the leading actress? Wang Shasha looks too ordinary.

You know she's an actress, so why sign her? She's not suitable for the leading role in a costume drama, nor is she suitable for the leading role in a movie like romance or comedy.

In other words, if she is going for awards, she is more suitable for the role of a major supporting actress.

Select child actors based on Wang Shasha’s version?

Li Wenyu could only say that if you sign Li Wei and Jin Chen to 5+5+5 and train them for two years for Mo Xiaobei, they will have a chance to catch up to the qualifying standards.

That was when My Own Swordsman was on the small screen, so the requirements weren’t that high and strict!
He then continued working and discovered 11-year-old Reba.

After reading to the end, the only young talent I could find was 11-year-old Chen Yuqi.

Li Wenyu made a phone call and said, "Temporarily arrange for Li Wei from Jiangsu Province to come to Beijing for an interview with her parents. The company will reimburse the travel expenses."

Yu Bo, deputy audition team leader, was surprised, "Brother Yu, is this the only one?"

Old Li nodded readily, "I'll settle on this one for now, the others don't seem to appeal to me."

He still wanted to choose Nazha. It would not be a waste to train her for 15 years. Even if he didn't have the information, he believed that with the vision of the audition team, they would not eliminate her in the initial screening.

In terms of appearance among the big stars of the era who left their names, among the post-90s generation, only Nazha can be compared with Liu Yifei, Pang Bing, including the above-mentioned Li Jiaxin and Guan Zhilin.

Reba is bad.

You mean exotic?

He even signed Megan Fox to Time!

Megan is still in the Transformers live-action special effects film and television series that has bombarded the world. Whether in terms of appearance or acting skills, she can beat the heroines of other sequels.

If I hadn't started plastic surgery so early, I wouldn't have ruined myself.

…………

More than an hour later.

Li Wenyu was still in the office when he received a report that Huang Xiaoming had arrived.

He asked his secretary to invite Lao Huang in. After a few simple greetings, Lao Li got straight to the point. "We've discussed the Big Bang Theory project with Warner Bros. Television."

"The company has already registered the copyright in the United States and plans to promote a Chinese actor to break into the Hollywood TV drama industry."

"Leonard, the standard second male lead, who's in love with the female lead, I'm more interested in you. If you perform well and the project becomes popular, you won't have to worry about not having roles for the next ten years."

It started when he submitted the pilot to Columbia, which then contacted Warner Television.

These negotiations are progressing smoothly.

It's an experimental sitcom with low costs. Li Wenyu wants to promote a Chinese male actor, Megan Fox or Blake Lively.

Warner Television can also identify and screen a batch of them.

The three main actors of the original Big Bang Theory had the highest salary of $6 per episode in the first three seasons. By the eighth season, Sheldon, Leonard and Penny all earned $100 million per episode.

This is not ordinary expensive.

A 20-minute sitcom!

The previous version of Friends was similar.

Huang Xiaoming has just returned after finishing filming Jackie Chan's "New Police Story" and "Infernal Affairs 2".

Huang Xiaoming was continued to be used because Deng, Jin Dong and Hu Ge were competing for the first, second and third male roles (in Goblin: The Lonely and Great God).

This is because the shooting schedules conflicted.

And among all the young actors, Huang Xiaoming is the shortest!
Old Huang nodded excitedly, "Don't worry, Director Li, I will definitely try my best to seize this opportunity and perform well!"

"After word got out about the pilot, I did some research. Last year, in the ninth season of Friends, the lead actors were getting paid $100 million per episode. And that's a lot of episodes in a season..."

Lao Li compared The Big Bang Theory to Friends.

That's ten million bucks for a season of ten episodes!

It will definitely not be that high at the beginning, but it is worth looking forward to in the later stage.

Xiao Ming, who filmed two movies in Hong Kong Island, also knew the news a long time ago.

He followed Winona's official Weibo account and sent a private message? After his identity was confirmed, Winona gave him the salary figure for the Friends star.

You mean he got the chance to play this TV show? He's so excited to play the second male lead in Jackie Chan's movies and the young male lead in Infernal Affairs?
This is in addition to the fact that the pay may continue to increase.

What is more important is the pace from the mainland to the United States and to the world!
It’s too difficult to make it into Hollywood. It’s much easier if you first become familiar to the public on the small screen.

Li Wenyu smiled and asked, "How's your English?"

Old Huang was instantly embarrassed, "This is a bit too good to be true."

When asked to the point, he realized that even if he was given the opportunity, he might not be able to seize it.

Li Wenyu threw a bottle of mineral water to Xiao Ming and said, "I have discussed with Warner Bros. Television that the official filming will be in the spring and summer of next year. This will require some learning period for Megan or Blake."

"Let's just throw you to Los Angeles right now. You need to be exposed to more English contexts."

"I also need to try playing minor roles to adapt to the pace of filming there."

What's the fastest way to learn a foreign language, except by cheating like Lao Li?

The fastest way is to throw it into a large context!
Li Wenyu explained again, "Xiao Ming, you are a little short. Don't try to be cool and handsome in sitcoms. The more down-to-earth and down-to-earth the better."

"The male lead is likely to be over 5'85", so the main point is to highlight the height difference between you and him. If the female lead is Blake, she will also be taller than you, which will create a cute contrast. You should not wear insoles to show off your body shape."

"Be more down-to-earth, a high-IQ gaming, comics, and science geek."

"If you play the role of a physics doctor well, have a good image, and fall in love with a very beautiful woman, it will be a big breakthrough for you overall."

Xiao Ming is really the shortest!!

It's just so unpretentious.

And what about comedians? Besides acting skills, comedians also need talent.

Is Stephen Chow handsome? Why can't Hong Kong produce another Stephen Chow?

Wang Jing and other people are looking for successors. Everyone says that their looks are far inferior to Zhou Xingchi.

If you pair Zhang Jiahui, Ge Minhui and others with Zhang Min, Qiu Shuzhen, Lin Qingxia and others, the first impression is that they are not a good match because they are not handsome men and beautiful women.

But who would think that Zhou Xingchi and all the previous star girls are not a good match?

Everyone thinks the man is talented and the woman is beautiful!

Later, Shen Teng and Deng Chuang acted in comedies, and their good looks were also there.

Huang Xiaoming is not too handsome, but when he plays comedies with beautiful female opponents, the audience will not feel that they are not a good match.

Now that Time Media is cultivating young actors, the competition for the top star in the mainland is no longer as fierce as the internal struggle.

Playing Leonard, the introverted, slightly nerdy genius scientist, well can make you famous all over the world, and the aesthetic tastes of people all over the world are basically the same.
