Chapter 32: The Casting Turmoil
At the end of Hong Chen's performance, the five casting judges were stunned for a moment.
Shocked, they only felt shocked!
Hong Chen's performance is so good, this is Li Bai, this is the immortal poet of the immortals!
It was quiet for a few seconds, but it was Duanmu Hong, a master of Chinese culture, who was the first to applaud.
"Okay, very good, it's the first time I've seen an actor who can play Li Bai to this extent, it's really unexpected!" Duanmu Hong said excitedly.
Zhang Hai also smiled with satisfaction, he knew that the actors for this role had basically been determined.
Hong Chen's performance is perfect!
He originally thought that Hong Chen was only good at action scenes and villains, but he couldn't imagine that playing an immortal like Li Bai could be so realistic.
This was a big surprise to him!
"Yes, Hong Chen, you have surprised me. Zhang Hai also said with a smile.
The other two assistant directors naturally have no opinions, and they all saw Hong Chen's performance just now. Neither of them has studied Li Bai in much detail, but they can still clearly feel that the image of a literati shown by Hong Chen is Li Bai.
Especially compared to the other actors who have auditioned just now, they are judged by their superiors.
However, Ding Meng, the representative of the investor, couldn't help frowning.
Hong Chen's acting skills are very good, he admits this.
It's just that Hong Chen, as the starring role, can he afford the box office of this play?
Hong Chen became famous for his villains and action scenes, and now if he really plays Li Bai, will the audience not buy it?
lacks entertainment elements, the theme is outdated, if the leading actor is no longer traffic.......
The box office of this movie is worrying.
Ding Meng is not wrong to think so, he is an investor, a businessman, and a heavy profit.
He will not throw money into it because he wants to shoot eternal poets and immortals on this subject, or in order to fulfill Zhang Hai's dream.
He wants profit.
Therefore, he doesn't plan to let Hong Chen be the starring role.
"I don't think we need to try someone else, Hong Chen is very suitable for this role. Zhang Hai looked at the few people around him who were choosing roles and said.
"Wouldn't it be too hasty to decide on a candidate for just one poem? Ding Meng immediately retorted.
Zhang Hai glanced at him, Ding Meng represented a large investor, and his opinion Zhang Hai still needed to be considered.
"What does Manager Ding mean by another round of re-examination?"
"Well, I personally think that Wang Feiyu is more suitable, after all, the traffic is large, and the acting is not too bad. Ding Meng nodded and said politely.
Zhang Hai frowned, Wang Feiyu is very good, if it weren't for Hong Chen's appearance, Zhang Hai might choose Wang Feiyu as Li Bai's actor.
But now, after watching Hong Chen's performance, Zhang Hai feels that only Hong Chen can show Li Bai's chic and debauched feelings.
Wang Feiyu, there is still a short realm.
"Okay, Manager Ding has said so, then let's watch it again. Field affairs, go and invite Ning Hang and Wang Feiyu in, and we will conduct a retest now!" Zhang Hai thought about it, and didn't worry about anything, so he asked the executive to call someone.
In this regard, Hong Chen smiled indifferently.
Since someone wants to retest, then retest.
Anyway, he will use his acting skills to tell these people who is the most suitable candidate for Li Bai's role.
Outside the Tang Palace.
Seeing that it was not Hong Chen who came out, but the crew members, Ge Chen and Chen Zhiyi were shocked.
What's going on?
Why didn't Hongchen come out?
Then, the crew called Ning Hang and Wang Feiyu away, and they understood.
It seems that the crew is going to have a second round of re-examinations?
Hong Chen actually passed the first test!
There was also a sound of discussion around him.
You must know that just now, Xiao Xianrou of the level of Xun Yuan and Ren Tianzhi left in disgrace, and now Hong Chen was actually left by the crew!
Inside the Tang Palace.
Ning Hang, Wang Feiyu and Hong Chen stood in the middle.
Ning Hang and Hong Chen knew each other, and the two of them said hello.
Wang Feiyu glanced at Hong Chen, with no expression on his face.
Wang Feiyu and Ning Hang are both top-notch, and their looks and figures naturally go without saying, they are both one in a million. However, there are differences between the two.
Ning Hang treats people kindly and is known for his warm male personality, while Wang Feiyu is biased towards high and cold, taking the high-end route, and the endorsements he receives are all luxury brands.
So Wang Feiyu said very little.
"After several rounds of selection, it was finally determined that the three of you passed the preliminary examination, and then the re-examination was carried out. Those who pass will be able to get the role of Li Bai. Zhang Hai said.
All three listened intently.
After all, everyone wants to take the role.
It's unheard of for three people to try out a role at the same time.
"The three of you go backstage now and change Li Bai's clothes, this time we'll come to the real thing. Zhang Hai said again.
Then, he beckoned the costume team and makeup artist of the crew, and left with Hong Chen and the three of them.
"Director Zhang, let me be honest with you, this time the leader made a request, the person who plays Li Bai must be a large traffic, otherwise the investment risk is too great. If Hong Chen is really chosen, Qianda Pictures may have to withdraw its investment. After they left, Ding Meng said to Zhang Hai.
Zhang Hai glanced at him, Qianda Pictures' investment is important, but he has already attracted more than a dozen other investments, and he has invested a lot. Even without Qianda's investment, the impact will not be too great.
"Director Zhang, I admit that this movie is very big, but after all, it is a documentary, and the market prospects will not be too good. Ding Meng was still persuading.
"Documentary?" Zhang Hai frowned, "Did I say this is a documentary?"
"That's?" Ding Meng hadn't read the script and didn't know what Zhang Hai was going to shoot.
"I still say the same thing, whoever plays well, who I use, if Qianda Pictures wants to withdraw its investment, I won't stop it. Zhang Hai said indifferently.
Hearing his words, Ding Meng's face changed, and he immediately picked up his mobile phone and went to the side to report the matter to his superiors.
After about half an hour, all three actors put on their makeup and walked out from behind.
The three of them are all dressed in white shirts, with fluttering clothes, which has a bit of graceful charm. If it is really placed in Datang, it is also three talented people who amaze the world.
If their fans saw this scene at this moment, they might not know what the screams would look like.
Of course, it mainly refers to the fans of Ning Hang and Wang Feiyu.
Ding Meng had already returned to his seat, his face sullen, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.
Then, the re-examination begins.
