More than a month ago, Su An registered the company and named it [Fuyao].

Its meaning is 'Dapeng rises with the wind one day and soars up to 90,000 miles'.

This contains many of Suan's visions.

In addition, this is also a very fairy word.

According to the plan, he will focus on the shooting of Xianxia films in the future, so this name can be regarded as a complement to his style.

If the company is located, due to financial problems, only one floor is rented for office purposes for the time being.

Mainly for the audition work that is about to start right now.

......

Regarding the invitation to audition, it has been sent to major performing arts companies a long time ago.

Quite a few expressed interest.

After all, Zhang Guohua's name is there, and the investment of five million is not too small.

Even if the director's name has not been heard before, even if it is just a ticket nature, he can save qualifications for his newcomers.

Xianyi has many roles, and the most important of them are undoubtedly Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er.

To put it seriously, the success of the casting of these two characters is directly related to the success of this show.

Although the other characters are also important, they are only 'supporting roles' after all, and their influence is limited.

So the main target this time is still on the four characters of Lin Yueru, Anu, Tang Yu Xiaobao, and Liu Jinyuan.

said that it is a supporting role, but in fact, it is just relative to the male and female protagonists.

To be precise, they are two men and three men, and two women and three women.

In the case of the role of the second female Lin Yueru, her evaluation is mixed, some people feel that she has destroyed Li Xiaoyao's image, and some people like her own character.

So while important, it also has limitations.

As for the two roles of Jiujian Immortal and the villain Baiyue, it is more difficult to choose.

First of all, it is very important, and secondly, it is a veteran actor who needs to have good acting skills.

Although Xianyi does not have very high requirements for the overall acting skills of actors, not all roles do not need acting skills, just like the role of Jiujian Xian, if the actor's acting skills are not up to standard, it will be difficult to interpret Jiujian Xian's chic and uninhibited and crazy, and if you can't deduce these two qualities, the character of Jiujian Xian will not be able to stand.

This is undoubtedly unacceptable for Su An, who regards Xianxia as his all.

In addition to the above eight characters, other characters such as the Witch King and Witch Queen (Lin Qinger) Elder Shi and Aunt Li have fewer appearances, and the selection of roles is simpler, which can be selected by the casting director Chen Lijun alone, as long as Su An sees it in the end and thinks it is no problem, he can pass the test.

Naturally, the casting director has some privileges, although it is said that after the official shooting, it is nothing, but before the shooting, it is definitely the object of everyone's stuttering.

Chen Lijun's ability and reputation can be trusted, and when Su An roughly finished his requirements, he soon got some shortlists, all of whom are old people in the entertainment industry, and there is absolutely no problem in terms of acting skills.

As for whether there is any exchange of interests, he doesn't know, when the water is clear, there are no fish, and he just chooses a role that suits his heart.

......

The main audition work is divided into three batches.

The first batch is the supporting roles with fewer scenes.

The second batch is a big supporting role with a heavier role.

The third batch is the male and female protagonists, plus the eight characters of the wine sword fairy worshipping the moon.

The audition was carried out by Su An, Zhang Guohua, and Chen Lijun, and photographer Sang Haoyang watched (Su An strongly requested).

Su An and the three were very calm.

The latter two have sufficient experience, and Su An has interviewed too many times in his last life.

Sang Haoyang was a little uneasy, he still can't figure out why the director would let a photographer watch the casting work.

Naturally, he didn't know, this was because Su An saw some possibilities in him, and he was deliberately cultivating him to audition work to tell him what the selection of roles in Xianxia dramas was like.

"Did the audition invitation go well?" Zhang Guohua asked.

Su An shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's not smooth, many people see that I am a new director, and the company is also a new company, so they don't pay attention to it at all." ”

They are not talking about the small supporting role audition that will be held today, but the big supporting role and the male and female protagonists that will be held tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

This was unfortunate but expected.

Audition is actually a two-way selection story, the crew is picking actors, and the actors are also picking roles, after all, if you pick a bad play, it will also be a blow to the actor's working career, and it will become an indelible stain.

So many people have this reaction when they receive Xianyi's audition invitation:

Director Su An: Who hasn't heard of it.

The new type of drama "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"? Who are you, if you say that you will create a new genre? I also said that I will win the Oscar tomorrow!

The investment is only 5 million, and this amount of money can also play martial arts?

Yes, in their eyes, they don't believe in any fairy tales or anything, they just think that this is still a martial arts drama, at best, with some mythological elements added to it, it's not a big deal.

Su An faintly heard these voices, although he was angry in his heart and wanted to slap those people's faces, but unfortunately he couldn't do these things now, so he could only sulk alone.

Although these have been predicted for a long time, but being able to predict whether they will get angry after hearing it is completely different things, if people can completely control their emotions, then they are not ordinary people, that is called a saint!

Su An asked himself if he was still an ordinary person.

I also tried to buy some drafts from the media in the past, but with little success, first of all, those media themselves don't look down on Su An, if it weren't for money, it would be good not to be cynical.

"Everything is difficult at the beginning, relax and it will go smoothly slowly. Zhang Guohua sighed and comforted.

A rookie director takes the lead and prepares various tasks, he knows how difficult it is, but there is no way, everyone has to go through this step, and he also experienced it decades ago.

Su An smiled and nodded: "What I know, it's just casting, where is this." ”

From the preparation of a TV series to the final broadcast on the stars, there are many more difficulties than the audience thinks.

At this moment when the casting began, it seemed that the formation of the creative team and the preparation for the pre-shooting had become a simple matter, and I didn't know how many mountains I would have to climb in the future.

In this world, there is no easy job, and if there is a job that you find simple, there is only one answer - you don't know it yet!

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Chen Lijun on his right and asked, "Are you sure you will come today?"

Chen Lijun nodded affirmatively and said, "Don't worry, there won't be less." ”

"That's good. Su An put his heart back slightly.

He is still very confident in Chen Lijun, as a famous casting director, the latter's weight is heavier than himself in the hearts of those actors, after all, he may not be able to get up after this drama (in the hearts of others), but Chen Lijun, there are still many places to deal with in the future, maybe when you need to ask for it.

As the hands on the clock jumped, it was finally getting closer and closer to the audition.

At this moment, Su An, who was sitting in the audition room, heard movement outside.

At first there were only one or two voices, but then more and more, and eventually they became one.

Suddenly, the heart that he had been hanging a little bit fell down, and the smile on his face that had been hanging was really much more casual.
