I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Chapter 103 Audition Three

Sun Fei had Li Heiniu demonstrate the imposing presence of a general charging into battle, so Cheng Sheng decided to give him a chance.

Before being ruined by variety shows, Li Heiniu was still a very promising actor.

"You can go back now. We'll send the script to your email later. Come to the company to sign the contract after you've read the script."

Upon hearing Cheng Sheng's words, Li Heiniu was overjoyed.

In other words, he succeeded in his audition.

Even though it's just a supporting role, it depends on who directs the movie.

"Thank you, Director Cheng; thank you, Director Sun; thank you, Director Yang," Li Heiniu said gratefully.

Cheng Sheng smiled, then waved for him to leave, so as not to delay the next person's audition.

About ten minutes later, Li Heiniu came out with a happy expression.

Those outside, seeing this, instantly understood that he had been chosen.

"Lulu".

Li Heiniu happily ran towards his girlfriend, Li Lulu.

"Let's go!" Li Lulu was unhappy because she was not selected, and she didn't pay any attention to Li Heiniu's expression.

"Lulu, I've been chosen by Director Cheng," Li Heiniu said.

"real!"

Upon hearing this, Li Lulu turned around and looked at Li Heiniu with surprise.

"Mm." Li Heiniu nodded heavily.

Li Lulu affectionately linked arms with Da Hei Niu and said sweetly, "Could you talk to Director Cheng for me and ask him to give me a role?"

Li Heiniu was stunned for a moment.

Is this something he can help with?
What's his relationship with Cheng Sheng? He won't give him any face.

Li Heiniu is neither a sycophant nor a fool.

His relationship with Li Lulu was just that of boyfriend and girlfriend; they hadn't reached the point of actually discussing marriage.

"Lulu, I'm sorry, I might not be able to help with this, but don't worry, once I've built a good relationship with Director Cheng, I'll definitely recommend you to him."

Li Heiniu has good emotional intelligence; instead of refusing directly, he said it tactfully.

Although Li Lulu was still unhappy, she realized that Li Heiniu's words made a lot of sense.

She stopped being angry and even became closer to him, since she would need Li Heiniu to get to know Cheng Sheng later.

"Hello, three directors."

Audition room.

Zeng Li greeted Cheng Sheng and the other two politely as she entered.

"Hello, Ms. Zeng Li."

Sun Fei and Yang Ting immediately returned the greeting, after all, Zeng Li was their senior.

Yang Ting, in particular, transferred from the acting department to the directing department. She was one of the "Eight Golden Flowers" of the class of '96, and she was the idol and role model for all the female students in the acting department.

Cheng Sheng was slightly taken aback, feeling that Zeng Li was different from before, as if there was a sense of estrangement between them.

What exactly happened that time I invited her to dinner?
Why has Zeng Li changed so much?
"The Three Kingdoms..."

"Empress He was a..."

At Sun Fei's prompting, Zeng Li first recounted a period of history from the Three Kingdoms period, and then began to analyze the character of Empress He.

It must be said that Zeng Li put in a lot of effort.

clap clap clap!
Afterwards, Sun Fei and Yang Ting clapped, and Cheng Sheng also snapped out of his reverie and joined in the clapping.

Cheng Sheng said, "Sister Li, congratulations on getting the role of Empress He."

"Thank you," Zeng Li said calmly.

"Sister Li, the script will be mailed to your email later... next one."

Cheng Sheng wanted to say more, but seeing Zeng Li's seemingly cold demeanor, he swallowed his words and let the auditionees waiting outside come in. Zeng Li politely bowed and then left the audition room.

"Director Cheng, Director Yang..."

"Teacher Hong, hello, please don't bow to us, it's too much of a burden for us."

The person who came in was Hong Yuzhou, who was personally invited by Cheng Sheng to audition.

“Those who have achieved something are my teachers. There are no seniors here. I’m just a newcomer here to audition,” Hong Yu said with a smile.

"In that case, let's begin, even if it means offending Teacher Hong!"

Cheng Sheng still holds Hong Yuzhou, a veteran artist, in high esteem.

In the CCTV version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Hong Yuzhou not only played the young Yuan Shao, but also Zhou Yu.

After finishing his role as the young Yuan Shao, Hong Yuzhou returned to his workplace. However, there was not much work at the drama theater, so he spent his free time visiting and helping out on the set of the "Three Kingdoms" drama.

So, after discussion among the directors, he was temporarily assigned the task of "stand-in" for Zhou Yu.

The actor originally slated to play Zhou Yu withdrew from the role, possibly due to excessive work commitments or because he himself did not value the character.

Therefore, the production team had no choice but to go along with the mistake and let Hong Yu play Zhou Yu to the end.

There is no Zhou Yu in "The Yellow Turban Rebellion of the Three Kingdoms". If there were, Cheng Sheng would still hope that Hong Yuzhou would play Zhou Yu.

In the CCTV version of "Three Kingdoms", Hong Yuzhou's portrayal of Zhou Yu is not without flaws. For example, Zhou Yu is skilled in music, but Hong Yuzhou's playing technique is completely wrong. If the audience pays close attention, they can see the flaws.

However, this is not Hong Yuzhou's fault.

The original actor playing Zhou Yu would have received basic training in the guqin (a seven-stringed zither) to at least be able to imitate the character well during filming. However, Hong Yuzhou was only there to temporarily replace the actor who originally played Zhou Yu. He did not intend to replace the actor who originally played Zhou Yu, nor did he need to spend a lot of time learning the guqin.

Therefore, he didn't need to be too serious about many things. In any case, everyone at the time thought that Hong Yuzhou's scenes would have to be reshot after the original actors returned.

Therefore, Hong Yu's version of Zhou Yu does indeed have some flaws.

However, his merits outweigh his flaws. With his rich experience and skillful acting, even when he was a "stand-in," he did not slack off or do a sloppy job.

Such a heroic and dashing Zhou Yu was unprecedented and will likely never be surpassed in the future.

Unsurprisingly, Hong Yuzhou passed the audition.

After Hong Yu left, Cheng Sheng and the others announced the end of the morning auditions.

The auditions will continue after 2 PM.

Although the people waiting outside were disappointed, they had nothing to complain about.

After all, they were hungry too.

Cheng Sheng booked a private room at a nearby restaurant for lunch and invited Sun Fei and others to have lunch together.

After finishing my meal, I went back to the company and rested for over an hour.

At 2 o'clock sharp, the afternoon auditions also began.

Three days in a row.

There were over a hundred people who came to audition for Cheng Shengxin's new film.

Some were happy after the auditions, while others were disappointed.

Very few people were happy, after all, there were only a few characters in the movie.

The audition process lasted a week.

Most of the roles for the film "Yellow Turban Rebellion" have been cast.

Even the actor chosen for the second male lead, Zhang Bao, has been decided.

The actor chosen for the second male lead is Yu Rongguang.

There have been many martial arts actors who have shone brightly and are still shining today.

Especially "Kung Fu Emperor" Li Lianjie, and Zheng Zidan, who has risen to prominence in recent years.

There is one person whose acting skills and physical abilities are in no way inferior to theirs, but he is the most low-key and powerful "veteran actor".

This person is Yu Ronggang.
