Although he didn't want Li Shixin to continue to be powerful at home, Zhang Shuo was very concerned about the old man's audition.

I can't help but be unconcerned.

Since Li Shixin and Liu Xin had a storm, "Doomsday Forbidden" took advantage of this wave of popularity to start a round of publicity and speed up the filming progress. Seeing that the crew's meaning is to complete the release within two months.

In that case, he would have to find a new job.

The crew of "Flying in the Wind" is now casting, and he is eyeing the work of group performance.

At half past nine, Zhang Shuo drove Li Shixin to the backyard of the actors' union - the audition location that Jiao Chendong called Li Shixin yesterday to inform him was here.

The two of them took a look at the place, good fellows.

In a small square in the backyard, there are already piles of candidates waiting for auditions. Seeing this posture, Zhang Shuo couldn't help but scratch his head.

After staying in Rongdian for so long, he really hasn't seen much of a scene like today.

"Godfather, look at what it means, this is going to be a public audition!"

Looking at the small square, where the staff were placing tables and several audition cameras, Li Shixin's eyes narrowed.

"Tsk?" Zhang Shuo shook his head, "In these years, the crew chose official actors for fear that outsiders would know." Even some crews can't decide on the protagonist until the start of filming. Why? When a good script is gathered into a crew, how many people are staring at it! Then who plays the leading role is behind the competition of several brokerage companies. Open auditions like this...... It's amazing!"

Hearing Zhang Shuo's self-talk, Li Shixin nodded deeply.

He remembered that when Jiao Chendong called last night, he seemed to have a solemn tone.

Taking advantage of this moment, he looked at the actors present. This scene is different from the previous encounter with Zhang Shuojin in the crew of "Doomsday". It's not a trick to be here.

Most of them are special actors, and even a few of them look like agents around them, Li Shixin looks familiar, he should already be famous, but he hasn't become popular yet.

It can be seen that these people are a little unhappy with today's public audition. One by one, they got together and complained about something.

"Look, look, the director is here!"

Just as Li Shixin was thinking about what was wrong with today's audition, someone in the crowd shouted.

Looking in the direction of the crowd, sure enough, Jiao Chendong and a few other people who looked like big guys approached along the corridor of the trade union.

With a burst of shouts from the staff and the maintenance of order, the crowd fell silent after a while.

Jiao Chendong and his entourage entered the venue along the cleared passage, and when they passed by Li Shixin's side, Jiao Chendong took a deep look at him, nodded quietly, and said hello.

......

In fact, today's public audition was Jiao Chendong's idea.

The script of the play "Flying in the Wind" is actually a retired autobiographical novel by Qiao Hong, the gymnastics princess of the national team in the eighties and a former Olympic world champion.

A year ago, the adaptation rights of the novel were bought by Tianmeng Entertainment, and the news of the adaptation was released.

With Jiao Chendong's fame, in fact, such an IP will not be his turn.

But as the veteran of the company, and with the experience of directing several period dramas, Jiao Chendong rubbed with the company for three months with a thick old face and got this drama.

He really wants to make this drama brilliant.

But it is impossible for such an IP to be completely independent and not affected by capital - the size of the company is too small, and it is impossible to shoot independently at such a big risk for such a film that is more literary and artistic and does not have much guarantee at the box office.

Therefore, it is necessary to use role resources to attract investors to share the risk.

Jiao Chendong has no other ideas, he just wants to grasp the selection of actors in his own hands. It is best to discover some potential newcomer actors, only if the actors work hard and are obedient, can they give full play to the period drama experience accumulated over the years, so that the reputation of the movie at least has a basic plate.

It was only when it came time for casting that he realized how difficult it really was. For the sake of the actor, Wang Hai, the general manager of the company, has already slapped the table with him six or seven times.

Today's public audition is his last struggle.

According to the agreement between Jiao Chendong and Wang Hai, today's show faces 170 actors who submitted resumes, and they must be unanimously approved by the selection team composed of producers, producers, producers and directors before they can enter the group.

seems fair, but in fact, the producer is Wang Hai, and the producer is the vice president of the company. With these two votes, many things can be decided.

But Jiao Chendong can't help it, all he can fight for is this.

"Silence! I'll announce the audition rules, so listen carefully. Today, let's audition for fifteen roles. We received a total of 110 resumes.

There are a lot of people, so in order to save everyone's time, please keep quiet during the audition.

After the audition starts, the names will come to the judging table and prepare a skit of no more than two minutes to show yourself according to the director's requirements.

The rest of the people don't leave halfway, we only notify three times of a resume, and if you call people three times, it will be invalid!

As the actors present responded, a young man from the crew handed over the loudspeaker to the selection seat.

"Mr. Wang, then let's start?" Jiao Chendong came back to his senses and turned sideways to ask Wang Hai who was sitting on the side.

"Heh," the weather was a little cold, Wang Hai, who was dressed in a slim suit, had a military coat on his shoulder, and seeing that Jiao Chendong came over to ask for his opinion at this time, he snorted without smiling: "Director Jiao has his own idea, if you think it's okay, then let's start." ”

"Okay, let's start with the male character first, shall we?"

The drama of "Flying in the Wind" is actually a female inspirational theme, except for the role of "coach", the proportion of male roles is not too large, thinking of using non-important roles to test the attitude of Wang Hai and the vice president of the company, Jiao Chendong smiled awkwardly and said.

With Wang Hai's eyes, he picked up the megaphone and brought the actor information that had been divided and roughly matched each role in front of him.

"The first character, Father Joe. Ask the auditioners to prepare a scene where a homeless man picks up the rags! Ask the actors whose names are called to audition in the audition area. ”

reported the sketch requirements, Jiao Chendong picked up the actor information in his hand, and was about to call the first actor to audition, but the information in his hand was taken away by Wang Hai on the side.

Looking at the pile of seven-point information one by one, Wang Hai smiled.

"Lao Jiao, I thought you had some good actor in your hand, so you found these crooked melons and cracked dates?"

As he spoke, he slapped the information on the table: "Look at it, this, all the previous performances were costume web dramas." This is a traitor who has been playing for five years. Na... The most outrageous thing is this. The role of Qiao's father is only in his early forties in the play, you are good. You take all the resumes of sixty-five-year-old actors? What, you still want to send such an antique actor to South Korea to do a facelift and then come back to act? Oops, I just saw it. This actor named Li Shixin is amazing, a special actor who has just been registered, and he has even played a trick! Jiao Chendong, you don't let the company interfere in the casting, just want to pick people out of such actors?"

Wang Hai's cold attack made Jiao Chendong stunned for a moment.

He designed this public audition with the purpose of thinking that all the actors were there, and even if Wang Hai was domineering, he should take into account some of the company's image and make the casting more transparent.

But he didn't expect that his own boss didn't care at all!

In the pile of actors, he vaguely heard his name, and Li Shixin smiled slightly.

took off the tunic on his body, and without saying a word, he took off the cotton clothes on Zhang Shuo's body that had not been washed for a few days and absolutely did not fit himself, and put them on it.
