The first audition is, of course, the first choice Wu Xiubo, Chen Shi and Li Yalian make an appointment with him, because he is the leading actor, and he doesn't need other people's help, he only needs the costume team to provide costumes, and the makeup person can help with the makeup.

Then, Wu Xiubo came in to see Chen Shi and Li Yalian.

Wu Xiubo's ancient costumes are completely like a living Fu Hongxue, Chen Shi was very satisfied with it, and nodded secretly.

Wu Xiubo said like two people: "The two directors are good. ”

Chen Shi nodded, and Li Yalian said, "Please take a seat." ”

Wu Xiubo did it opposite the two of them, and then began the official audition time.

Chen Shi first asked, "What do you think of this character?"

Wu Xiubo smiled embarrassedly: "Actually, director, I don't have any opinion on this character, because I don't know what the script looks like yet, I have only read the novel after receiving the notice, if you analyze it with the character of the novel, this is a person who has fallen into nothingness, that is, a person who has no goal and cannot find the direction of life, I don't think this is a good martial arts novel character, it should be suitable for making a literary film, but no one has ever done this." ”

Chen Shi was slightly stunned, looked at Li Yalian, Li Yalian said with a smile: "We are not looking for a martial arts actor in this play, we are looking for an actor who has graduated from the undergraduate class, and we will never spend too much effort on martial arts. ”

Wu Xiubo was also stunned and asked, "So you want to make a literary film?"

Chen Shi nodded and said: "That's right, Gu Long's novels are all made into literary films, this is a short story, after we delete unnecessary branches, keep the main line, and then tell Fu Hongxue to walk from the edge of death, find the value of his own survival, and become a real hero." This is a spiritual growth, of course, there is also a collective oppression of the individual, whether it is a positive or negative character, they are all people who are manipulated by fate, and no one can change their fate, and the protagonist is the one who changes his fate, which is also the most vivid and touching part of this movie. ”

Gu Long's novels are not easy to film, except for Chu Yuan, who is really successful, basically no one has made Gu Long's taste, as for the King of Sunglasses, he has not filmed Gu Long's novels, but a "East Evil and West Poison" is told in a Gu Long-style tone, therefore, many people think that if the King of Sunglasses is afraid of Gu Long, the novel must be the best.

Chen Shi also thinks so, however, the king of sunglasses will not shoot Gulong novels, and may not dare to try martial arts again.

Wu Xiubo was shocked at this time, before he came, he didn't have much hope, he felt that this was just a rich man playing, so he was not prepared at all, he just came to deal with it, but at this time, Chen Shi and Li Yalian's words surprised him, he had to re-evaluate, and he had to make new decisions and choices.

"It's going to be hard to get market recognition, and you're going to lose money," he said. ”

Chen Shi said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you lose money, if you lose a movie, you will lose money, we like Gulong novels, therefore, it is our dream to adapt Gulong novels, we are not afraid of losing money, we are afraid that the reputation of the film will not be good, as long as there is a reputation, even if it is a loss of family property, I will not hesitate to do so." ”

Wu Xiubo has to admire, although he also has dreams, but such a desperate pursuit of dreams, ignoring market rules, and doing things completely according to his own ideas, this is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

After that, Chen Shi and him talked about Fu Hongxue again, Wu Xiubo's interest had just been suspended, Chen Shi was going to see the next one, as for the role, it would have to wait until Chen Shi and Li Yalian met everyone before deciding.

Wu Xiubo can also understand that he regrets it slightly, if only he had been prepared.

The next thing I saw was Duan Yihong, this actor is very personal, it is said that he will not play the role he doesn't like, no matter how high the bid of others is, then, since he came here to audition today, it proves that he has recognized the role of Fu Hongxue, and he wants to try this role, because this role is challenging, for people like him who have a deep obsession with acting, this kind of role must not be let go.

Chen Shi and Li Yalian were waiting in the house, Duan Yihong was wearing clothes and makeup outside, of course, there were other actors in the dressing room, most of them were very famous people in the domestic actor market in the future, Chen Shi would feel very happy when he saw the list of these people.

In this life, he will not worship stars as much as he did in his previous life, and stars are just a profession in his heart, no different from the aunt who sweeps the floor on the road, but the salary of the actor profession is much higher.

Although this is an era in which people's status is measured by money, everyone in Chen Shixin is equal, even if he is a billionaire, he and a farmer are not superior or inferior in status.

Duan Yihong was lame when he walked in, which was exactly the same as Fu Hongxue in the book, although he didn't have any props in his hand, but he went to hold a wooden stick, which was a broken stick with a broom, which he also used as a knife.

Fu Hongxue's knife, a dark knife.

His face was completely in the play, at this time, he was no longer Duan Yihong, but Fu Hongxue, when he walked in, he didn't go to see Chen Shi and Li Yalian, but limped around, completely looking like a prodigal son, the end of the world is far away, full of worries. This is the natural Fu Hongxue.

Chen Shi suddenly felt that Duan Yihong should play Fu Hongxue, as for Wu Xiubo, his appearance is a little inappropriate, his image is not very suitable, he is most suitable for the role of a mature uncle, and although Fu Hongxue is a middle-aged man, he is definitely a bitter man.

Although Wu Xiubo has a melancholy look, Fu Hongxue is painful, not Xiao Li's melancholy face. If Wu Xiubo plays Xiao Li, it is a bit interesting.

Li Yalian's face also changed, and when she saw Duan Yihong at this time, she felt that he was Fu Hongxue, and Fu Hongxue was him.

She almost jumped up, but Chen Shi grabbed her, he wanted to see what Duan Yihong would do next.

The two saw Duan Yihong standing in front of them, and then didn't say a word, looking at the two of them with a painful and firm look, it seemed that he didn't speak was enough to represent everything, he didn't have to speak to Fu Hongxue, and there was no other choice.

After about four or five minutes, Chen Shi finally couldn't help it, he stood up, clapped his hands and said, "Okay! Okay! This is Fu Hongxue in my heart." ”

He said three good things in a row, which made Duan Yihong instantly excited, and he was recognized by others, no matter who he was, he would be happy.

He bowed and said, "Hello two directors, I'm Duan Yihong." "He doesn't have a bit of a fight, and after the play, he is completely a humble and polite person.

Chen Shi hurriedly said: "Don't be so polite, sit down and say, let's talk about Fu Hongxue." ”

Duan Yihong was not polite, and sat down directly, and then Li Yalian asked him, "What do you think Fu Hongxue's main characteristics are?"

Duan Yihong said: "Pain and perseverance, he is like a stone, being carved into a god statue, and before he became a god statue, he was in pain, of course, he was extremely hard." ”

Chen Shi's eyes lit up, and he praised: "Wonderful, well said, your summary of Fu Hongxue is so clear, you must have put a lot of effort, I think this role is you, start filming in ten days, do you have any problems?"

Duan Yihong said: "There's no problem, it's just that the director gave me a script first, and I think according to the people in the novel, I don't know if there is any difference with the script?"

Li Yalian handed him a copy of the script and said, "You go back and take a good look, relax with peace of mind, and then recuperate your spirits, and we will start filming soon." ”

Duan Yihong thanked: "Okay, I must understand the script thoroughly." ”

Having already won the role, Duan Yihong said goodbye to the two, walked to the door, and suddenly turned back and asked, "This is a martial arts film, do you need me to exercise?"

Chen Shidao: "No, you just need to think about your acting skills, as for martial arts, we have arrangements, we will not let you get injured and suffer, and we will ensure that you complete all the actions when the time comes, these actions are very simple, we are a special martial arts film, and the martial arts films in Hong Kong and Taiwan are different, if you have the opportunity, you can watch the two movies "East Evil and West Poison" and "Swordsman of Shuangqi Town", our fighting style will be a combination of the two of them. ”

Duan Yihong said okay, and then went out.

After he left, Chen Shi asked Li Yalian, "What about the people below?

Li Yalian said: "Everyone is here, of course you have to give a chance, so many supporting roles, of course you have to ask them, even if they are not the protagonists, I think, they will not give up, right? ”

Chen Shi smiled, Li Yalian was so fascinated by Gu Long, all Gu Long's books were so good, she might not know, there were many people who couldn't help but have never read Gu Long, and they didn't even know who Gu Long was.

Next, Chen Shi and Li Yalian met several actors one after another, these are all people with certain acting skills, they are absolutely dedicated to acting, and some of them have a lot of fame at this time, but now they are not first-rate stars, at most they are second- or third-rate actors, so even if they are supporting roles, they will not mind.

Chen Shi gave the role of Du Lei to Deng Chao, and then Gu Daoren, Gongsun Tu, Yang Wuji, Ghost Grandmother, Heavenly King Ghost Slashing Knife, Yan Nanfei, Gongzi Yu and so on.

Li Yalian's script is adapted from the book, counting Du Lei as the first* opponent, the second is the Heavenly King Ghost Slashing Knife, and then goes to Gongzi Yu's lair for a finale.
