After determining the candidate for the heroine of "Youth Singing and Dancing Youth", Wang Yang was in a good mood, and in the next few days, he continued to audition for other roles. What he didn't know was that Jessica refused Miranda's persuasion every day, and finally lost her temper, which made Miranda helpless and disappointed not persuade again. A few days later, the heroine of "Idle Hands" was decided, and Eliza Dushku was elected.

And several important role candidates for "Youth Musical" have also been released, "Chapel Evans" was elected by Rachel, she is very suitable in appearance, and she is very mature in performance, different from the natural performance of "Ghost Shadow", "Chapel Evans" needs a slightly exaggerated dramatic performance, Rachel is studying in the drama department, which is exactly what she wants, in front of the camera lens, she is handy, and completely grasps the essence of the role.

Zachary Levy also got the role of "Wren Evans", which made him so happy that he somersaulted and almost broke himself. Although Zachary has a different temperament from the original "Wren", with a tall figure standing with Rachel, not like a brother and sister but more like a brother and sister, Wang Yang still adopted him. Zachary's acting skills are passable, he has a certain foundation in dancing and singing, he can portray a silly and funny Wren, making Xia Pei appear more "bad".

Getting this role means that he will get a lot of salary, and Zachary can finally quit his job at the supermarket and concentrate on acting. He was so excited that he hugged Wang Yang, and the wolf kissed Wang Yang's cheek a few times. In the end, Wang Yang saw that he refused to let go, and wanted to continue kissing, so he couldn't wait to use force, so Zachary lay on the ground and calmed down for a long time.

The roles of Chape and Wren are all settled, and it is not difficult to find candidates for the male and female protagonists' respective black friends "Chad Denver" and "Taylor Michaes", Chad Denver is played by an 18-year-old Brazilian teenager named Marcus Mance, who is proficient in dancing and can sing, and Taylor Michaesi is played by Martina Moon, a 22-year-old black girl with good acting skills.

In the selection of piano accompanist Kathy Nelson, Wang Yang chose a girl of the same age named Zoe Deschanel, she has not starred in any film and television works, but she has studied piano since she was a child and knows how to compose and write lyrics, which makes her perform very professionally and well when auditioning. Although her height of 168 cm makes her look a little tall, Wang Yang still chose her, this girl has a unique temperament like an elf, she can create a new style of Casey Nelson.

After some negotiations, Flame Films signed contracts with them, they had to complete the filming of "Youth Musical", and also cooperate with the promotion of the film, of course, they also got paid. At present, the highest paid is Jessica, although she is not famous, but she is treated with the workload and treatment of the heroine, she gets a salary of 500,000, the second highest is Rachel, "Ghost Record" makes her quite famous, she gets a salary of 300,000, Zachary 200,000, Marcus Mance 100,000, Martina Moon and Zoe Deschanel are both 50,000.

After signing the contract, they all start to receive professional singing and dance training, depending on the individual's foundation, and the training is almost enough before the post-recording, and the cost of the training is paid for by Flame Films.

And the official website of "Youth Musical" also released the news and photos of these confirmed role candidates, but there was no reaction from the outside media, there were no big stars, and naturally there was no report. Jessica Alba? Who is she? Oh, I've had some TV roles before? Not very famous anyway. Although she is sweet-looking, there are too many beautiful girls, why report the latest movements of a girl who has no fans?

And Rachel McAdams, Zachary Levy, who came back to school after a horror movie? Could it be that the rising star director wants to make a school song and dance film that scares people to death? What are you kidding?

So only some online media reported the news, and the focus of attention was also on Wang Yang, because compared to his movie actors, his popularity is the highest.

Of course, those fans who are paying attention to and looking forward to "Youth Musical" are a little more interested in this movie, and the image of the heroine has not disappointed them, but their question now is, why hasn't the male protagonist been decided yet?

For the candidate for the actor "Troy Burton", Wang Yang has scratched his head recently, he has searched all the agencies in Los Angeles, but among the handsome guys who are willing to participate in the audition, he can't find anything that meets his requirements, those handsome guys are handsome but not sunny enough, sunny enough but not charming enough, charming enough but not tall enough, and they have to look like high school students, and they have to be newcomers...... All of these requirements add up, and none of them fit.

"My dear boss, I think it's time for you to make a trip to New York. Mark Slant had a kind smile on his face, but still had a feeling of underwhelming.

Los Angeles and New York are trendy and culturally driven, with a thriving film and television industry, and a New York city of fashion celebrities and Broadway theater. They are often interconnected, like movie actors. In desperation, Wang Yang had to take a plane to New York and go to the Big Apple to find a candidate for Troy Burton.

Wang Yang is also the first time to come to New York, compared to Los Angeles, New York seems more prosperous and crowded, everywhere is full of a busy atmosphere, the streets are full of people, he feels a little breathless.

Before coming to New York, Flame Pictures had already submitted the casting request to the New York branch of the Screen Actors Guild, as well as some agencies, and needed time to wait for their response. During the day, he went to see the Statue of Liberty, went to the Empire State Building and other places, and went to Broadway to watch a musical and dance show at night, paying attention to whether there was a suitable actor candidate.

Today, Wang Yang came to the New York University Film School to play, after graduating from high school, he had the opportunity to continue his studies here, but he finally chose the USC School of Film and Television, first, his favorite director Robert Zemeckis is an alumnus of USC, so he loves the house and Wu, and secondly, Los Angeles and San Francisco are not far away, the climate is no different, and Hollywood, the mecca of movies, is in Los Angeles.

Walking on the campus of the university, Wang Yang is no different from an ordinary student here, with a young face and a youthful atmosphere, he sits on a bench for people to rest, looking at the students coming and going, and his heart is full of tranquility away from the hustle and bustle, which can only be felt on campus. After a short rest, he walked to other parts of the campus, and when he saw the beautiful scenery, he picked up his digital camera and took pictures.

After walking for a while, Wang Yang suddenly felt that someone was following him, and in this regard, his senses have always been very keen, and there should be no mistake. He frowned and looked behind him, only to see a blonde white peer not far away, about 180cm in size, wearing a rather old gray trench coat, messy hair, and a very pale face, like a vampire in a movie.

Could it be that he is following me? Wang Yang turned around suspiciously, continued to walk for a while, stopped and turned his head again, and the guy was really still following behind!

The blonde white man glanced at Wang Yang, put his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker, but turned to leave, but he suddenly stopped after taking a few steps, seemed to have made up his mind, and turned around and ran towards Wang Yang again. Wang Yang stood where he was, waiting for the blonde white man to come up to him before asking, "Hey, man, are you following me?"

"Well, I know you. A smile appeared on the haggard face of the blonde white man, and he said in a hoarse voice: "You are Wang Yang, right?" Wang Yang nodded and said, "Yes, it's me." The blonde white man stretched out a hand and introduced himself: "Hello, Mr. Wang, my name is Michael Pitt and I am 17 years old." Wang Yang shook hands with him, Michael Pitt looked at him, and said lightly: "I think you came to New York, you should be looking for the actor of "Youth Musical", do you think I am suitable?"

"Oh, you?" Wang Yang was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this blonde white man to follow him and actually want to recommend himself. He looked at Michael Pitt and looked at this young face seriously, with light blue pupils, broad lips, and messy blonde hair, a very decadent feeling, a bit like Leonardo DiCaprio in some angles, he looks quite handsome, but he definitely can't get along with the "sunshine handsome guy".

Retracting his gaze, Wang Yang shook his head and said, "No, your temperament is not suitable, you are very, don't ......" After thinking for a while, he thought of a suitable description and said: "It's like a singer in a gray bar, but what I need is a sunny basketball team captain." ”

"Oh. Michael Pitt was silent, he took out a crumpled pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one out of it and handed it to Wang Yang, Wang Yang waved his hand and smiled: "I don't smoke." You shouldn't smoke either, you're not an underage. Michael Pitt smiled slightly, ignored Wang Yang's advice, took out a lighter and lit the cigarette, took a deep breath, sprayed it in the direction of the side, looked at Wang Yang and asked, "Mr. Wang, are there any other roles suitable for me?"

"Youth Musical" is a positive movie, and no character's temperament is decadent. Wang Yang shook his head with a smile and said, "Sorry, no." Michael Pitt let out another quiet "oh" and took another long puff of his cigarette, refusing to let go of the mouthpiece until he suddenly coughed violently with a "cough, cough!"

Seeing Michael Pitt coughing with pain on his face, Wang Yang couldn't help but step forward, help gently pat him on the back, and said, "Man, smoke less." ”

When his cough eased, Wang Yang pointed behind him and said, "I have to go." After taking two steps, he turned back to Michael Pitt and smiled, "Hey, you smoke at school, and the school doesn't care about you?"

"The school cares about me?" Michael Pitt laughed self-deprecatingly, did the young director think he was a student here? He looked at Wang Yang, who was getting farther and farther away, remembered his current situation, he picked up the cigarette in his hand and took another puff, then threw the remaining cigarette on the ground, stepped on it with his foot, put his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker, and chased after him quickly.

After walking for a while, Wang Yang noticed that Michael Pitt was still following him, and couldn't help but stop, and asked Pete who was not far away, "Man, is there anything else?"

Michael Pitt walked over and looked at Wang Yang with round eyes, a trace of struggle flashed on his pale face, and finally pleaded: "Sir, give me a role." ”

Seeing him like this, Wang Yang thought about it seriously, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, there is really no role for you." He didn't know what to say, so he spread his hands and said, "I really have to go." With that, he continued his walk to the parking lot, and it was nearly dusk when he was about to return to the hotel.

But when it came to the parking lot, Michael Peel still followed far behind. Wang Yang ignored it, "Youth Singing and Dancing Youth" really does not have a character suitable for a decadent temperament, what else can he do? After taking the car that rented the hotel, Wang Yang slowly drove to Michael Pitt's side, looked out the car window, and smiled at him: "Michael, goodbye, remember to smoke less!"

Michael Pitt silently watched as the car sped away until the silhouette disappeared from sight. He exhaled, pulled the crumpled pack of cigarettes out of his pocket, smoked one for a long time, lit it, and smoked it.
