Super entertainment red envelope

Chapter 623 Difficulties in Casting!

"Mr. Zhang...what do you mean?"

Wu Kele was bewildered, looking at Zhang Jin at a loss for a while.

This feeling of cramping was only felt when he first met Zhang Jin. Later, as the relationship between the two grew day by day, Zhang Jin became more and more intimate with him. It had been a long time since he had this feeling in front of Zhang Jin.

Zhang Jin calmed down, calmed down, and said: "You don't have to think about this drama. I will vote for you in the second half of the year. I will support whatever genre you want to play and how you want to break through! But you must maintain Well, your fans, they are your greatest asset, understand?"

"understand!"

Wu Kele nodded again and again, looked at Zhang Jin, smiled tentatively, and asked, "Then, what if Li Zhifan..."

"No ifs!"

Zhang Jin squinted at Wu Kele, "Whether Lei Shanhe voted for this play or not, he can't use you!"

"I……"

"Don't talk anymore, just go about your business!"

Zhang Jin waved his hand and drove away Wu Kele.

After getting out of Jinxiu Group and getting into the special car, Wu Kele was still puzzled, so he asked his assistant, "Why? Isn't Mr. Zhang and Lei Shanhe on good terms?"

"I don't know!" the assistant said awkwardly, "But I can ask my friends in the technology circle to ask if there is anything going on between the two of them recently."

"Hmm!" Wu Kele said, "If it's true, then we will try to avoid Lei Shanhe's investment in the future and go around."

Wu Kele turned to the window, Li Zhifan's face during the audition inexplicably appeared on the window glass, recalling that expression, that tone, Wu Kele seemed to understand something, rubbed his eyes, "Let's go!"

……

the other side.

Auditions have been going on in an orderly manner.

The actors who came to audition also have a wide range of age groups, ranging from experienced supporting actors in their 50s to the new generation who have just graduated from college in their early twenties.

There is only one review standard, and that is to pass the test of acting skills, be able to be dedicated to work, and have excellent reputation in the circle.

As for popularity or something, it doesn't matter here at all.

So some old actors who were familiar with each other decided on the role on the spot, asked them to go back to prepare, and directly joined the group after starting up.

Near noon, the six of Li Zhifan ordered takeaways, and ordered box lunches for the audition actors who were still waiting outside.

At this time, a boy with a delicate face and a serious expression came in.

"Hello!" Wang Yue asked first, "What's your name?"

"My name is Cheng Xiaodong!"

The boy said, "I graduated from the Shanghai Art Institute. I used to be a model. After entering the entertainment industry, I have filmed some idol dramas. But I want to challenge myself and try some styles that I haven't touched before."

"Ok!"

Li Zhifan nodded, he knew exactly where the other party came from, but since he was treated equally, he wouldn't be swept away because of his relationship with Guo Siwen, and he still had to be given the chance to audition.

But whether he can act or not depends on himself, the other is whether he is willing to condescend.

If there is no matter about Guo Siwen, this Cheng Xiaodong must be very popular now, similar to Wu Kele's current status.

However, Cheng Xiaodong did not have the luck of Wu Kele. After Guo Siwen was imprisoned, he did not have a rich man to win over and take care of him like Wu Kele, which caused his popularity to fall to the second tier now.

"Then try this role!"

Li Zhifan searched through the pile of scripts in front of him, then took out a page and handed it to Cheng Xiaodong.

Cheng Xiaodong quickly took it from his hand, fearful, but because of his stiff expression, he couldn't tell, only his eyes could convey some meaning.

After reading the script twice, Cheng Xiaodong raised his head and asked, "This...is there an affair?"

"What, do you have a question?" Li Zhifan squinted at him.

"No, no!" Cheng Xiaodong said hastily, "Let me try!"

Li Zhifan nodded: "Then let's start!"

Cheng Xiaodong took another look at the script, then put the A4 paper on the table, took a chair and sat down by the table, then picked up the cup lid on the table, pretending it was a chess piece.

"Director Yu...heh, don't torture me!"

Cheng Xiaodong lowered his head and raised it sometimes, showing a helpless expression.

But because of the almost paralyzed face, the expression was very stiff, and he made a feeling that he wanted to express discomfort, but it was not in place.

However, it was this kind of expression that made Wang Yue, Zhou Shilei and others stunned.

I didn't expect that facial paralysis also has the benefits of facial paralysis, and the embarrassment, shame and unwillingness of the characters are played just right.

"Director Yu, I, I know everything, your wife told you all about it!"

Cheng Xiaodong lowered his head and read the dialogue at a 45-degree angle.

After a few minutes of silence, he raised his head and looked at Li Zhifan with tears streaming down his face. His almost paralyzed face kept shaking, and it could be seen that the stiff muscles were floating up and down.

"Director Yu! Actually, I..." Cheng Xiaodong stood up suddenly and shouted loudly.

Li Zhifan pressed his hand and motioned him to sit down: "Don't get excited, speak slowly!"

Cheng Xiaodong sat down in his seat, lowered his head and sobbed, "Director Yu, actually I really like Mrs. Ma... Heck, when Ma Kui was still here, we... we just... had it!"

As he said that, Cheng Xiaodong stood up and took two steps to Li Zhifan's side, kneeling on his knees with a "dong" sound: "Director Yu, we are not stealing chickens and dogs!"

Cheng Xiaodong grabbed Li Zhifan's arm, pursed his lips, looked aggrieved and unwilling, then lowered his head and sighed: "It's love!"

"Okay, get up!"

Li Zhifan patted him on the shoulder and reached out to help him.

But Cheng Xiaodong obviously got into the drama too deeply, and he scratched his hair in frustration, and he came back to his senses after a long time, and said, "I'm sorry, it's a bit too much!"

"It's okay, it's fine!"

Li Zhifan said, "You, you are hurt by this face, the feeling that other people can show with a little effort, you have to work hard to do it! But at least you still have the spirit of drama in your heart, yes Acting skills also have their own cognition, just now, you performed very well."

"Yes! For more than half a year, I have been learning how to really act, instead of pretending to be cool in front of the camera. Unfortunately, I still have problems with my eloquence, and my lines have always been poor."

Cheng Xiaodong's slightly blunt tongue, when talking about the dialogue, it really makes people want to beat him up, it feels like a fool is reading a text.

This also has a lot to do with plastic surgery. A lot of cheek muscles were removed, and the rest were also affected by hyaluronic acid, which caused his pronunciation to mutate.

"It doesn't matter, you can find a dubbing!"

Li Zhifan said, "The role you got just now does not have many roles, but it is very important. To put it bluntly, it is a cameo role. Would you like to try it?"

"Yes! Yes!" Cheng Xiaodong nodded repeatedly, his expression still stiff.

"Okay!" Li Zhifan said, "When the script comes out and the date of joining the group is set, I'll send you an email! It's getting late, they ordered a box lunch, let's eat together!"

"No, no need, I'll just eat outside!"

Cheng Xiaodong quickly waved his hands and nodded to several people in the room, "Thank you everyone, thank you Director Li! Thank you!"

After he left, Li Zhifan looked at Wang Ye and Zhou Shilei, and asked, "How is it?"

"Oh, it's facial paralysis after all!" Wang Ye smiled wryly, "Otherwise he's definitely a good actor."

Zhou Shilei said: "This is at most half-facial paralysis, at least he can make some expressions. Many young people in the entertainment industry are not as good as this. When they are angry, they know how to frown, when they are happy, they know how to purse their lips and smile, and when they are sad, they know how to droop their eyelids." Eye drops, the emotions of normal people can't do it."

"It's all because of the image, surgery on the face, and never pretend to be ugly when filming. Some artists sign a contract with the crew to stipulate that they can't be ugly when shooting. Except for scenes that need to show their faces, other scenes, whether easy or dangerous. Use a stand-in."

Wang Yue complained for a long time, and then asked, "Zhifan, do you really want to use this Cheng Xiaodong?"

"Just give him something to eat."

Li Zhifan spread his hands and said, "If Guo Siwen knew that his former favorite would come to me to play a small role, what would he think?"

"As long as he can act, I don't think it's a problem to use him."

Zhou Shilei said, "With such a low profile, the questions we gave can be completed smoothly, but the lines are a little troublesome, and he has to find a dubbing for him."

Li Zhifan knocked on the table and looked at the assistant director of casting: "Old Chang, if there is no problem, please contact his agency to see how much he wants for the film. The price must be reasonable and fair!"

"Understood!" Lao Chang nodded, and wrote down Cheng Xiaodong's name on the small notebook in front of him.

……

Outside.

After Cheng Xiaodong came out, he was relieved.

Originally, he didn't have too much hope today, and his goal was not the protagonist from the beginning, so it feels good to be able to play a supporting role for the male No. [-].

Although I don't know how many roles the Secretary Hong he wants to play has, but from Li Zhifan's words, it should be a very ordinary supporting role, but even so, he hopes to regard this as the beginning of his return to the entertainment circle, Take advantage of this opportunity.

"Xiaodong, are you out?"

A few of the actors who sat with him before hadn’t left. Seeing him come out with an almost expressionless face, they all had answers in their hearts. There are also.

"Ok!"

Cheng Xiaodong withdrew his thoughts and smiled slightly.

"Do not be discouraged!"

An actress got up to comfort him, "It won't work this time, there will be a next time! How about this, how about I introduce the crew for you? Lower the requirements and go out of the way first. Anyway, you are already well-known, and there should be quite a few crews." Willing to use yours."

"Then thank you, sister!"

Cheng Xiaodong nodded and said, "If you have such an opportunity, you can introduce it to me, and I also got a guest role with Director Li, so I plan to start from a low level."

"what?"

"what?"

"You... got the role?"

Those people all showed incredible expressions.

In their opinion, Li Zhifan's drama should be produced according to the movie's specifications. How could a facial paralysis like Cheng Xiaodong pass the audition and get the role?

"Xiaodong, what did Director Li ask you to play?"

An actor who had been sitting there and ignored Cheng Xiaodong before stood up and walked over.

"Oh, it's the role of a secretary!"

Cheng Xiaodong said truthfully, "Although Director Li said that there are only a few scenes, I am still very honored."

"Secretary!"

The actor smiled, "Then I'll fight for it and play your boss! Anyway, I'm a generation behind you, and I'll take care of you when I join the team."

"Hmm!" Cheng Xiaodong felt speechless, and he could feel everyone's malice, but he still faced all this very gently.

At this time, the office door opened again.

All the actors pricked up their ears, only to hear Zhao Yiduo holding a document and shouting: "Xu Qianling!"

"Here!" The actress who comforted Cheng Xiaodong just now and said that she would introduce him to the crew's extras waved happily.

Zhao Yiduo glanced at her, lowered the decibel and said, "Come in!"

"Yes!"

Xu Qianling turned her head and blinked at the other actors around, and said with a smile: "Wait! Sister brings down the second and third girls, and I will treat everyone to dinner then!"

"Yohoo!"

Several male actors laughed strangely.

"Then wait for Sister Ling's treat!"

"Congratulations in advance, Miss Ling!"

Even Cheng Xiaodong said, "Come on!"

After Xu Qianling entered the door, she looked around at Li Zhifan and others who were sitting in various places in the room, and bowed generously: "Hello, teachers, and Director Li! I am Xu Qianling, born in Shanghai in 82, graduated from Nortel, and attended He has acted in many red dramas, family dramas, and several comedy movies."

"A lot of qualifications!"

The assistant director often looked at her and smiled, "Girl, have you read the novel "Latent"?"

"I've seen it!" Xu Qianling said with a smile, "It is absolutely necessary to do homework in advance."

"Hmm!" The assistant director searched for a long time among the lines on the table, found an A4 paper, and handed it to Xu Qianling, "Come on, try this!"

Xu Qianling took the A4 paper, glanced at the character's identity on the top, and it read: Mrs. Ma!

She doesn't even have a proper name, let alone the third girl, and the fifth girl is most likely not!
Xu Qianling was a little disappointed, but she didn't show it. She was experienced, and after a little preparation, she immediately started her performance.

……

The audition for "Insidious" took place over three days.

However, Li Zhifan only went there for one day, because the auditions were all for small roles, and the male and female protagonists who were being auditioned were all arranged by him.

The heroine has already been decided on Qi Feiling, but the second female lead, Zuo Lan, and the third female lead, Mu Wanqiu, have yet to make a decision.

The image is just the first image of a woman, what really makes a man notice and keep in his heart is her temperament.

In order to find the temperament that fits the image of these two characters, Li Zhifan not only watched the video materials of domestic actresses, but also went to major art schools to conduct unannounced visits.

He went to several major colleges and universities in Beijing alone, and if he couldn't find any more, he planned to go to art colleges in other cities.

This morning, Li Zhifan invited Tao Jun to watch a play at Renyi.

In this drama, several songs were sung by Tao Jun and published on the Internet, but during the official performance, the actors sang.

Li Zhifan thought about being tortured by the casting during this period, so he readily agreed to go together.
