In the early morning, No. 30, Haihu Xili, Taifeng District, Yanjing City, is rarely lively, which is the location of the Yanjing Peking Opera Troupe, where many Peking Opera masters lead genre troupes, the more famous ones are Mei Baojiu and Shang Changrong and others.

Outside the small building of the Peking Opera Tutoring and Popularization Center, all kinds of luxury cars gather here, as if they were driving at a show.

Zhang Chu drove his Maserati president and parked next to a Lamborghini Bat with a big grin, not thinking anything was wrong with it at all.

The audition was supposed to start at nine o'clock, but now it's almost half past eight.

Few people who can mix up the level in the entertainment industry are real fools!

Even if the actors are stupid, the agents are not stupid, and it is important to leave a good impression.

Probably because the secrecy work was in place, there were no passers-by or reporters outside the Peking Opera Troupe to watch and take pictures.

At the entrance of the small building, a staff member wearing a modified version of Peking Opera clothes took the initiative to speak: "Hello, please go to the dressing room over there to get makeup." ”

"I'm not here to audition. Although Zhang Chu said this, he was actually happy in his heart.

The girl in front of her probably thinks of herself as an unknown actor, and it seems that her appearance is on the same level as the actors!

"If you're not auditioning, stay. It is closed to the public for the time being, and only those who are invited can enter. ”

"Here's my ID, I'm here for the audition. Zhang Chu took out his wallet and showed her his ID card.

This girl suddenly realized, and after looking at Zhang Chu seriously, she said: "It turns out that you are the original author of this movie, you look so young! So many stars have come to audition, this one must be very good." When I get off work, I'll go to the bookstore and buy it. ”

"Thanks for the compliment, but the bookstore won't be able to buy it for the time being, so you'll have to wait a few more days. ”

Zhang Chu kindly hinted.

"Director Xu, in the performance practice room on the second floor, the actors are putting on makeup, and it is estimated that it will take a while. ”

"Can I go to the dressing room?"

He was really a little curious about which star actors came.

The beauty did not hesitate, pointed to the hall next to the first floor and said, "This is it, but you'd better not take pictures, there may be some things that are inconvenient to announce to the public." ”

Zhang Chu nodded in agreement, he waved his hand and made a goodbye gesture before walking towards the hall.

In the originally quiet hallway, you can hear the buzzing and noisy voices inside, and the neat two rows of mirrors are full of people!

There are many actors who audition, but Zhang Chu can't recognize any of them!

Because they are all dressed up in the big flower faces of Peking Opera, professional Peking Opera actors are acting as makeup artists to apply makeup to these male actors.

That's right, this row is full of overlords, and the other row is full of Yu Ji.

It's not easy to tell who is who!

Zhang Chu didn't attract anyone's attention, he waved his sleeves and didn't take away a single cloud.

In the corridor on the second floor, Jiang Hua was leaning against the wall and smoking, and when he saw Zhang Chu coming up, he directly put out the cigarette on the top of the garbage can.

"You're finally here, I thought you were stuck in traffic. The old man has been waiting for you for a long time, let's go, let's go in together. ”

"How are the preparations going?" Zhang Chu was very concerned about this issue.

When will this movie drag on, if "Life Pi" and "Farewell My Concubine" are released at about the same time, the situation will definitely be great!

Jiang Hua said in a low voice: "Now it depends on the condition of the actors, if they are in good condition, they can start filming directly." ”

When filming the plot of Little Bean and Little Stone in the early stage of "Farewell My Concubine", the actors of the adult version can take advantage of this kung fu to learn singing, chanting, and fighting, and strive to do without stand-ins.

Pushing open the door of the practice room and walking in, several old men over there turned their eyes over.

Xu Ji beckoned, "Xiao Zhang, you came just in time, we just talked about you!"

"What do you want me to say?"

"Lao Shang is praising you, and they all think you write very well. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Shang!" Zhang Chu arched his hand.

"Lao Shang, you've seen it before, this is our artistic advisor Hou Yong, who is in charge of the Peking Opera content in the movie. Lao Shang can come to guide him occasionally, and he also has to be in charge of the affairs of the delegation to the United States. ”

Hou Yong doesn't look young anymore, the wrinkles on his face and gray hair reveal his age, "You used a pen to write out all the eyebrows and eyes, and the intersection of history and reality is very good." The characters of several characters in it are very distinct, and even Duan Xiaolou has his own complexity. ”

"Lao Hou don't pretend to be literary and artistic, he can't understand this. I think you're good at writing anyway, but don't write about two men next time. This will cause the outside world to have more misunderstandings about our Peking Opera!"

Shang Changrong, who had a shaved head, said impatiently, now many people directly treat that kind of male disguised as a woman as homosexuality, which is a very unfair and ignorant situation.

Mr. Mei Lanfang has a wife and children, but he has played a concubine and a Yu Ji, and he has not been misunderstood by the public in the society at that time.

Now that the times are advancing, there are many people who directly equate the two!

Xu Ji patted Shang Changrong on the shoulder, glared at him and said, "Next to Lao Shang is our photography consultant Liao Han, he will directly take makeup photos for the actors who auditioned later." You will take a look on the side today, and if you have any opinions, you will talk about it when the actor goes out. ”

He was worried that Zhang Chu didn't understand the rules, so he said the actor's problem to his face, in case he was remembered by a cautious actor, he would definitely not be afraid of retaliation, but Zhang Chu was different.

"No problem, I'm going to make soy sauce today, listen to the teachers!"

Zhang Chu smiled, his qualifications are really nothing here.

"We're going to knock out more than half of them in the first round. Don't look at the acting skills first, just look at the appearance. If the Peking Opera looks up to the mark, then no matter how good the acting skills are, I hope to leave a few good seedlings. ”

Xu Ji shook his head, this is a necessary threshold, this Peking Opera-themed movie can't find so many stand-ins!

No wonder those actors went into the dressing room as soon as they came, the relationship is like this......

Because if you want to sing the role of Yu Ji, then the actor must not have three-dimensional facial features, but should be soft and mellow, and the same is true for the overlord.

That's what the form requirement.

The world in front of him is not the same as the earth, there are almost half of the familiar characters and almost half of the strange characters, so Zhang Chu really doesn't know which two actors can star in the movie.

But since I'm here to be a mascot, I'm just going to pursue a strategy of keeping quiet to the end!
