192 auditions
When the official announced that "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" was going to be filmed as a TV series, fans of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" were boiling. Most people expressed their expectations, some people thought that a movie should be made, and some people thought that the TV series was good and could show the content clearly, but the movie was too urging and too reluctant.
For Luo Yu as a screenwriter and director, many book fans have no opinion. Because the adaptation of the previous movie "First Close Contact" was recognized by most audiences. Luo Yu is the author, and they believe that Luo Yu will not disappoint them this time. Now they are most concerned about who is suitable to play Hu Bayi, who is suitable to play Wang Fatzi, and that Miss Yang. Everyone is discussing, everyone's opinions are different, in short, they are biased towards their favorite stars.
In the comment area of Singularity "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", everyone commented one after another, chatting and chatting about some local tyrants who began to reward, and after a while, many people followed suit and rewarded. Luo Yu didn't know about these things, and his account was handed over to Wang Yan to manage. Wang Yan made some comments from time to time, but in order not to expose Wang Yan, she rarely left comments in it.
Now that the company has sent out the audition invitation, now you just need to come back at the audition. But it doesn't mean that Luo Yu is relaxed, and the ancient tomb has begun to be built in the park. A corner of the park is fenced off, and Xie Dong's props team, the staff of LeTV Brothers Pictures, and some construction workers are busy.
Although Luo Yu did not choose in class 05 for this audition, he still took care of his students a little. First of all, Huang Bo's audition role is Wang Fatzi, Yingzi's role Luo Yu also gives his student Liu Jialan a chance, and there is also a male escort role.
Although there is no special care, Luo Yu thinks that they have a high chance of passing the audition, and of course, there are some irrelevant roles that Luo Yu also takes out to do favors. There is no way that the national situation is like this, and it is normal for everyone to praise each other for face.
Of course, the two important roles of Hu Bayi and Miss Yang are in strict auditions, and Wang Fatzi and the old professor are also auditioning for several important roles. Of course, there are also artists from other companies who have let them pass the first round, and if they are not selected later, it will not be their business, which is also one of the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry.
The first to audition is the role of the archaeological team, which requires a total of five people, four men and one girl. First of all, there are four male members, as long as Yanjing can get by, then Luo Yu is striving for excellence, and in the end, it is easy to choose. Luo Yu's student Yang Yong is also one of them, Luo Yu did not release water today, it is indeed Yang Yong who is good enough.
At Ye Yixin's audition, Luo Yu found Jiang Wen, and couldn't help but think of the person who wanted to invite him to drink. Although there is a slight friendship, Luo Yu is still strict and fair, but in the end, Jiang Wen won the role with her acting skills.
Next is the character of Yingzi, which has something special. First of all, the actor needs to be able to ride a horse, and then he is not afraid of the hounds and has some masculinity, or it can be understood as heroic. In the end, this role was won by Liu Jialan, which she won by her own ability.
The next few small roles were taken care of by the assistant director, and all the ordinary roles had been set in one morning. The relevant contract has been signed, and then the crew gives them the script, and finally sets the time for the crew to report and let them go. Of course, there are also some special requirements, such as Luo Yu asking Liu Jialan to continue practicing horseback riding and so on.
In the afternoon, I auditioned for some relatively important dragon sets, and the profits were Rao Aiguo, Chen was called Matsutake Mushroom, An Liman, and Big Golden Tooth. Luo Yu put the assistant director in charge of these roles, and he just checked it. The roles were also confirmed in one afternoon, and there are still three important roles that have not been auditioned, but they will not be until the next day.
That night, Brother Pictures announced the currently confirmed actors, which caused many fans to watch and complain. Some actors are supported by book fans, and of course some are disliked. What Luo Yu wants is to cause a topic and let everyone discuss and complain, so that the TV series can be better promoted.
Early the next morning, Luo Yu started the audition again, after all, now the audition is the starring role, and Luo Yu is still very cautious. The first thing to start was the role of the fat man, and Huang Bo successfully won it with his funny teasing. Luo Yu asked Huang Bo to learn to ride a horse, and then read the script and learn about some antiques.
The people who came to audition for the male and female protagonists were all second- and third-tier stars, and if Luo Yu wanted to invite first-line stars, there was no problem, but the cost of first-line stars started at 200,000 per episode. Luo Yu can't afford to pay such a high fee, strictly speaking, he either can't afford it or he doesn't think it's worth it. Selecting two second-tier actors with good acting skills can compress the price of a single episode to less than 80,000. Although the effect is not as good as that of first-line stars, Luo Yu's TV series does not attach so much importance to their popularity, and Luo Yu is interested in acting skills.
After discussion and research, the role of Hu Bayi was won by Wang Kai. Wang Kai looks like a literary young man, especially his hair is similar to Hu Bayi in the script. And his acting skills are very good, his skills are very solid, he is also an old driver in the entertainment industry, and in the end, Luo Yu made the decision to choose Wang Kai.
The heroine was won by Peng Jiahui, and she seems to have cooperated with Brother Pictures. At the age of twenty-eight, she participated in many movies and TV series, and Luo Yu performed very well after watching her works. She's just a little bit unlucky, and if she's lucky, there's no problem at all in rushing to the front line.
Brother Pictures' official website immediately updated the main actors, and also set up a voting function under their photos. Their fans voted for it, and according to the voting results, Wang Kai received the most support, followed by Huang Bo. Huang Bo performed well in "Crazy Stone", and later acted in "Crazy Racing", this time he was the starring role, and the box office of the movie has exceeded 100 million. This time, many fans feel that he is very suitable for playing Wang Fatzi, and some people who have seen his works also think that he is very suitable.
As for Peng Jiahui's support, the support is relatively small, but the number of supporters is far greater than the number of opponents. At the same time as the promotion on the official website, the company's publicity department also took the opportunity to advertise in the news media. Every participating actor in the flying space watched the advertisement, and Luo Yu's subscription increased a lot after this wave, and the sales of physical books also increased.
Some people who eat melons expressed onlookers, and hardcore book fans expressed great expectations, and hoped that Luo Yu would not modify the plot in a big way. In short, driven by the millions of fans of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", the TV series has a wave of existence before it has been filmed.
