Chapter 111: Audition
Seeing He Jianzhe's undisguised sneer, Liu Dong was speechless for a while, he could play such a childish trick, did he really think he was an idiot.
Laugh, laugh, laugh, wait until you cry!
Liu Dong carefully checked his outfit and made sure that there were no problems before leaving the dressing room.
It is true that he is the predetermined actor, but this is also an official audition, and if Liu Dong only conducts it with a perfunctory attitude, it will definitely usher in the dissatisfaction of the sugar man.
Although it won't take off his role, if it gets out, he will be labeled arrogant in the future, and Berner's side will not look good.
Soon everyone finished putting on makeup one after another, Liu Dong took a look, and the sugar man's vision for selecting actors was still good, at least these people were dressed in ancient costumes, like a handsome son.
No one spoke, everyone was preparing for the audition later, some closed their eyes, some bowed their heads and pondered, and some were in a daze!
It didn't take long for the auditions to begin, and one by one they went in nervously and came out with the same nervous expression.
About twenty minutes later, Liu Dong, who was in fourth place, also entered.
And He Jianzhe, who was at the end of the line, stared at Liu Dong's back until he turned around and walked into the room before retracting his gaze.
Hum!
I don't know how thick the sky is, the kind of actor who came out of a third-rate small company also wants to take on the male protagonist of the Sugar Man TV series, he really wants to be famous and wants to go crazy, I don't know how much money he spent to pass the first round of screening.
Liu Dong didn't know what He Jianzhe was thinking at all, but even if he knew, he didn't care, if he really couldn't even get into the first round, why spend this unjust money.
knocked on the door and walked into the room, Liu Dong met two more bigwigs in the entertainment industry, Li Guoli and Cai Yinong, the founders of Sugar Man.
In 1998, Cai Yinong, who was only 23 years old, and Li Guoli, who was just over 40 years old, jointly established Sugar Man Film and Television.
9 years later, the two of them each hold more than 30% of the equity, and they still occupy the absolute right to speak in the sugar man, but the equity is still in the hands of Cai Yinong's husband Wang Yi and Li Guoli's daughter-in-law Yang Lin.
Cai Yinong is in his early Chinese New Year's Eve, and serving as the president of Sugar Man for 9 years makes him look like a strong woman, while Li Guoli is dressed like Zhang Jizhong with long hair and a little beard, which is quite artistic.
In addition to the two of them, there are three or four people in the room who are the company's top executives at first glance, and it can be seen that the sugar man still attaches great importance to this drama.
But it's no wonder that the highlight of their year was originally on Jin Yong's drama "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", but the car accident of the company's boss Brother Hu disrupted the company's plans for the next few years.
Even the unlimited postponement of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has led to the company having to pay some cash to those investors.
After all, tens of millions of funds have been dragged down by this project, and I don't know when it will start, so much money can't make money by investing in something casually!
Fortunately, this is "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", if it were changed to another TV series, it is estimated that now those investors will come to the door to withdraw their investment.
Even now Cai Yinong is afraid, if it weren't for the golden sign of Jin Yongju, the current sugar man might have to borrow funds from the bank, and even usher in the prying eyes of outsiders, it is not certain whether they can keep control of the company.
It was in this extremely unstable situation that Sugar Talent launched this unit drama and "sent" most of the characters to major companies in the circle.
Like Cai Yinong, Li Guoli was also in a bad mood at this time, and the director of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was also him, and the actor's serious car accident made him less and less confident in the future prospects of this drama.
A good mood can make work enjoyable, and similarly, a bad mood can affect the state of work.
Liu Dong.
Li Guoli picked up the information in front of him and looked at it, and as soon as he saw the name, he remembered the candidate given by the Berner side for this matter.
Since he is an insider, Li Guoli is not interested in asking anything, so he said at the moment, "Liu Dong is right, Feng Sheng is a scholar in the play, now please interpret this image according to your own understanding!"
"Okay Director Li!" Liu Dong immediately replied, and thought in his head.
Scholar is a very common character in costume films, but because it is so common, there are very few impressive ones.
If you really want to talk about the scholar roles that Liu Dong can remember, they are Ning Caichen and Liu Jinyuan, as well as the generation of writer Xu Zhimo played by Huang Lei, who has not yet made a fortune, in "April Day in the World".
Liu Dong vaguely remembered that the actor who played Liu Jinyuan seemed to have acted in a version of "Liao Zhai", but he forgot which one it was.
Liu Dong recalled these classic images in his mind, and the expressions on his body and face also changed.
Feng Sheng is a talented generation of talents, handsome and extraordinary, and his excellent piano skills fascinate all beings.
At the same time, like most of the male protagonists in Liaozhai, he is benevolent, very loving, sympathetic, filial, responsible, and will repay his kindness.
Liu Dong's eyes slowly became gentle, looking ahead with a smile, and the corners of his mouth raised an appropriate arc, not frivolous or sluggish.
At the same time, Feng Sheng is not the kind of down-and-out scholar, he is versatile and sought after by many people.
Liu Dong's eyes are also slightly confident, but they are not publicized, and he is dressed in ancient costumes, like a handsome and talented man who is as gentle as jade, gentle and elegant, and polite.
Li Guoli nodded in his heart when he looked at Liu Dong's performance, it seemed that Berner did not find someone to perfunctory him, so he began to look down at Liu Dong's resume.
Three modern action movies, starred in "Casting the Name", and the qualifications are enough.
Hmm!Zhen Zhibing?
When he saw that his personal experience said that "The Condor Heroes" starred in Zhen Zhibing, Li Guoli frowned obviously.
Zhen Zhibing! This is not easy to do, I don't know when CCTV plans to broadcast it, in case the audience dislikes this Liu Dong at that time, it will be troublesome!
Li Guoli rubbed his head and thought, and then said to Liu Dong, "Then so be it, you go back and wait for the news first, and you will be notified of the results!"
"Okay, Director Li!" Although he was a little puzzled about the simplicity of the interview process, Liu Dong still nodded and left the room.
After Liu Dong left, Cai Yinong on the side came over and asked, "What, is there any problem?"
"Look at this!" Li Guoli flipped Liu Dong's information to that page and handed it over.
"Are you talking about the role of Zhen Zhibing?" Cai Yinong looked at it and understood what Li Guoli was worried about, and then said, "Whether this role is good or bad for him, at least there is no harm to us, maybe it can still be a wave of popularity!"
Li Guoli thought about it and accepted Cai Yinong's point of view, and nodded, "That's it, let's continue the audition!"
