HuaYu: The most muscular director in history!

Chapter 127 The New Three Kingdoms Super Selection Tournament 1

April 2006, 2.

The New Year's greetings from Xiang Nan, "Wishing You Prosperity," still echoed through the alleyways, and the Lantern Festival had already quietly arrived.

Today is the third day after the book signing. Yifei was taken back to Hubei by her mother yesterday. Xiang Nan also wanted to go with her, but it's not the right time yet, and he can't go back to Chongqing because Xing Nanfei has a lot of things to do.

That morning, before the roosters even crowed, Xiang Nan arrived at the company.

"These reporters are too fast! Luckily, I'm even faster." In the chairman's office, in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Xiang Nan looked at the ants below and muttered to himself.

His tall figure was hidden behind the window, his gaze sweeping over the throng of reporters below.

Today is the casting call for the new Three Kingdoms series.

He doesn't yet know which celebrities he will meet.

"New Three Kingdoms" is an important milestone in Xiang Nan's plan. Once the filming and broadcast of this drama are completed, Xing Nanfei's influence and popularity will definitely rise to a new level.

Firstly, although "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is not official history, it is considered a serious drama. Filming such a serious drama is not easy, let alone coordinating the various connections, let alone the multiple investors and actors behind it. In short, this is a major boost to the network of relationships.

Secondly, its influence will increase. "Chinese Paladin" should be able to win the ratings championship in 06. The whole year of 06 will be spent filming "New Three Kingdoms", so "New Three Kingdoms" will be broadcast on satellite TV in 07 without any surprises. So, it shouldn't be a big problem for it to snatch the ratings championship from "Golden Wedding", right?

As for 08, that was the time when Yifei and I dominated the charts!

"Beep beep beep!"

Just as I was thinking about that girl, my phone rang.

Xiang Nan returned to his boss's chair, opened his phone, and saw a text message from Yi Fei:

[This is a picture of a large piece of wood (JPG). My mom was watching me, so I sent it to you secretly.]

Upon opening it, a bright and beautiful little face appeared before my eyes.

"Wow, it's a new model!" Xiang Nan exclaimed excitedly!

Little Pudding often exchanges photos with herself, but of course, not photos of abs or paws!

This photo is amazing: the background is a white room, and she is wearing a bright red ancient costume with her two small hands hidden in the sleeves, which are so long that they drag on the ground. It looks a bit out of place.

But beneath the red robe was white silk?

Is the fruit foot beneath the white silk?

God!

This is absolutely amazing!

Moreover, the pixels are incredibly clear, making it look like it was taken in a photo studio.

Next, she posted several more photos, including those of her maternal grandmother, her aunt, and Liu's mother, confirming Xiang Nan's guess.

"Slap slap slap—"

Xiang Nan: [That's awesome! You agree, I agree too!]

Yifei: [Hmph! You're thinking about lewd things again.]

Just as Xiang Nan was about to reply, Feng Man rushed in with a list. Her small feet moved swiftly, and she arrived in front of Xiang Nan in thirty steps.

"Nanguo, all seven floors are set up, and the casting director from the investors has arrived."

Xiang Nan took the folder, glanced at it, and a knowing look flashed across his eyes.

Of the five casting directors, only the people in their own room were special.

Most of the actors listed above were brought in through connections; frankly, casting for my own place was just a favor.

Moreover, Chairman Han even put his daughter in his own room; his intentions were all too obvious.

He understood Han Sanping's thoughts. Rather than hiding it, it was better to be open about it, since his daughter was one of Xing Nanfei's own people.

"Okay, where's Jia Nu?" Xiang Nan closed the folder and strode towards the elevator.

Feng Man quickly followed behind him and added, "President Han is already waiting in the casting room on the 7th floor. Chairman Han specifically instructed him to do so."

Two minutes later, Xiang Nan and his companion arrived on the 7th floor.

Since it was not yet 8:30 and the auditions had not started, the 7th floor was quiet. The lights were on in the five casting rooms, the innermost one was his own, and the other rooms were given to other investors.

There were many actors standing in the corridor, huddled together in twos and threes, talking in hushed tones, all looking nervous.

When they saw Xiang Nan approaching, everyone stopped and their eyes all fell on him. No one dared to speak loudly.

His figure was too eye-catching; at 196 cm tall, he exuded a sense of oppression.

Hearing the commotion, Han Jianu came out of casting room 705 and handed her a glass of warm water: "Brother Nan, everything is ready."

Xiang Nan took the water but didn't drink it. Instead, he led Jia Nu back to the casting room: "Let's sit for a while and get this done quickly. We don't have much experience, and not many people audition here."

Han Jianu nodded and sat down in the chair, while Feng Man stood quietly to the side, lost in thought.

A short while later, the corridor outside became noisy.

One actor after another arrived.

Ten minutes later, Kong Sheng and Hou Hongliang came to Xiang Nan's room to take a look and chatted briefly.

At 8:30, a call came from outside, and the casting meeting officially began.

"Shall we begin?"

Xiang Nan nodded and winked at Feng Man, who was standing to the side.

Feng Man walked to the door, took out the list of auditioning actors, called out a name, and then walked back.

Others were shouting, but Xiang Nan was yelling. The reason is...

"Click"

The casting room door opened, and Zhu Yawen entered, clutching his script. He grinned when he saw Xiang Nan.

"Brother Nan, President Han, I've mastered Cao Pi's scenes."

Xiang Nan leaned back in his chair, clasped his hands behind his head, and remained silent.

Han Jianu raised her chin and pointed to the chair on the ground: "Let's begin, the enthronement speech."

Zhu Yawen sat down, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes.

Within three minutes, he adjusted his mindset and began his performance.

Ten minutes later, Xiang Nan sat up straight, glanced at Han Jianu, and the two exchanged a look.

"You're the one. Go back and wait for the stylist's instructions," Xiang Nan said.

Zhu Yawen grinned again and bowed slightly: "Thank you, Brother Nan!"

Xiang Nan didn't reply, his finger unconsciously tapping the simplified calendar.

Zhu Yawen is one of our own artists, and this film is also created by our own team. How could we not use connections?

As for Luo Jin?

Hehehe—it's still the same Emperor Xian of Han he played before.

This is going to be really interesting; Zhu Yawen is going to beat up Luo Jin again.

As soon as Zhu Yawen left, Dong Xuan, a close associate, pushed open the door and entered, her elegant demeanor accentuated by a simple long dress.

"Xiang Nan, Jia Nu, it's been a long time." She smiled and nodded, her gaze sweeping over the script on the table.

Han Jianu blinked, stood up, walked to the center, and pulled over a chair: "Senior, please sit down. It really has been a long time."

"How's the preparation going today? For the audition for Da Qiao, are there any problems with the part about Sun Ce's death?"

Dong Xuan shook her head, picked up the script and quickly scanned two lines. When she looked up, her eyes were filled with melancholy.

Seeing how quickly she got into character, Han Jianu didn't dare to disturb her and just stood aside to watch her performance.

Dong Xuan recited her lines softly, her eyes filled with suppressed sorrow.

Ten minutes later.

Xiang Nan put down his pen and smiled slightly at Dong Xuan: "Senior, you've exceeded the standard! Your emotions are spot on. You're the one."

Dong Xuan smiled lightly: "Thank you for your recognition, Nanmei. I will follow your arrangements."

Han Jianu patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, senior, we'll contact you as soon as possible."

After Dong Xuan left, Xiang Nan leaned back in his chair, and Han Jianu returned at that moment.

The two exchanged a glance, and everything was understood without a word.

To put it bluntly, based on personal connections and background alone, this role is a no-brainer.

The same goes for Gao Xixi's "New Three Kingdoms" in the previous life. If you look at the cast list, 50% of the people are related to the production team or him, and 30% are hidden underwater, but they are also related.

The martial arts world is not just about fighting and killing!

Knock knock knock!

The door was pushed open again, and Jin Song strode in.

This man was burly, with a loud and confident voice.

But the very first sentence was enough to make people lose their composure.
