Chapter 149: Casting in progress
The project of "The Legend of Deer and Ding" was prepared quickly. After Gu Wenwu negotiated the conditions with Huayi Company www.biquge.info signed the contract, the preliminary work has been carried out in an orderly manner. The director is Zhang Jizhong, this bearded director has a special ability in filming costume dramas, so it is more reassuring to hand over "The Legend of Deer and Ding" to him.
As for the actors, the problem is a bit big. There is no Qing Dynasty in this world, which makes the story background of the book "The Story of Deer and Ding" have changed a lot, but the main line of the story has not changed, it is still a story of a scoundrel who rose in the end of the market, and finally worshiped the Duke of Lu Ding, and at the same time collected seven beauties with different personalities. In this play, the requirements for the actor are still very high.
Wei Xiaobao is a scoundrel in the market, because his mother is a dusty woman, so he grew up in the Qinglou since he was a child, and he has been in contact with people from all walks of life since he urinated, he is sleek and lazy, cunning and competitive, but because he loves to listen to books, this person is a little loyal. A person with such a complex personality can't be controlled by an ordinary actor.
At least, in Gu Wenwu's opinion, he has watched so many versions of "The Legend of Deer and Ding", and only Wei Xiaobao played by Chen Xiaochun is the closest to the character, which has a lot to do with his own image. As for the Huang Sect's main version of Wei Xiaobao, then it can only be hehe.
Therefore, when Huayi Company proposed to let its artist Huang Xiaoming play the leading role, Gu Wenwu refused. Not to mention that Huang Xiaoming's version of Wei Xiaobao made Gu Wenwu not very satisfied, the key is that it is only 04 years now, Huang Xiaoming has just become famous by relying on the young son of heaven, and his acting skills are also a problem.
Gu Wenwu disagreed, and Huayi Company had no choice. Although Huayi Company has a big business, if Gu Wenwu is not satisfied, no one will have to play.
Not to mention who to choose to play Wei Xiaobao, the seven heroines are also a problem. Even if there are many artists under Huayi, it is still impossible to get together seven suitable heroines. Therefore, the audition became the only option.
Zhang Jizhong is involved in the casting, so naturally Gu Wenwu doesn't need to worry about this matter. In order to select the most suitable actors, Zhang Jizhong also specially invited Jin Yong from Xiangjiang and asked him to check it personally, and sent one person each from Huayi Company and Wenwu Studio to form this selection lineup.
Since the news of the audition for the heroine came out, Zhang Jizhong's phone was blown up. Whether they know it or not, they all call to solicit favors, and their purpose is nothing more than to get Zhang Jizhong to ask for his own artists. What's more, he called Zhang Jizhong directly, bluntly saying that the room had been booked, and he wanted to ask Director Zhang to give him some acting skills.
Zhang Jizhong felt that this would not work, and he would be shaken sooner or later if this continued. Therefore, it is necessary to start casting as soon as possible. He knows very well that although the two companies hand over the casting work to him, this does not mean that he can stuff people in at will, otherwise what are these two representatives here for, he Zhang Jizhong has not spoken so much now.
Since it is an audition, it is natural that no matter which company you are, or whether you have a company or not, you can sign up for it. So, it's no surprise that the casting scene is crowded.
This is undoubtedly a major opportunity for many female artists who have no relationship and no background. If you can choose, then it is equivalent to stepping into the fast lane of life, and it is not impossible to soar into the sky. You must know that several leading actors in "Dragon Babu" are now popular, they are role models. As soon as the news came out, it was like having wings, and it spread ten, ten, ten, hundred, and I don't know how many female artists who thought they were possible came. On the day of the audition, the scene was out of control for a while, and Zhang Jizhong and his party hurriedly called the security guards to maintain order.
A large group of female artists dressed up in flowers and branches, competing for beauty. Zhang Jizhong frowned, thinking that if this came one by one, he would be exhausted. He didn't expect so many people to come, so he had to hold a temporary primary election as a last resort.
The conditions for the primary selection are simple, just good appearance. Of course, those who dare to come here to participate in the casting must be confident in their appearance. With this in mind, Jin Yong gave a suggestion, that is, to look at ancient costumes.
For many actors, the costume is amazing, so it is very suitable for costume dramas. But when it comes to acting in a modern drama, it won't work. There are also many people who are suitable for acting in modern dramas, but when they act in costume dramas, the appearance is completely funny. This can be referred to Wang Luodan, Wei Zifu and Chen Yanxi's version of Xiaolongnu.
After this layer of screening, the number of people was greatly reduced. But the rest of the people is still a big project, but in order to select the right actors, there is no way to be tired.
"Is this you?" Zhang Jizhong looked at the photo in his hand, and then looked at the actor in front of him, the gap between this photo and the real thing is too big.
"That's right, this is me, what's wrong Director Zhang, what's wrong?" The woman said delicately, and even secretly threw a wink at Zhang Jizhong.
"Alright, you can go out." Zhang Jizhong had a bad chill and waved his hand directly to drive people away.
"But I haven't auditioned yet." The woman looked puzzled.
"Don't try, you're already out." Zhang Jizhong said mercilessly.
When the woman heard this, her face turned blue and red, but she had no choice but to stomp off the ground and turn away.
"These days, there are really all kinds of actors." Li Yudao, a representative of Huayi Company on the side.
"No, I really don't know how she passed the primary." Feng Jindao, the representative of Wenwu Studio.
"I'll see who's next." Zhang Jizhong flipped up the information in his hand, which is very simple, it is the basic introduction of the actor and an accompanying costume photo.
"Hey, Ma Shichun, it's her." Li Yu also saw this photo and was a little surprised.
"Why, Mr. Li knows this actor." Zhang Jizhong said.
"I've seen one or two sides, although this actor is not famous now, but his background is not small." Li Yudao.
"What's where she came from?" Feng Jin asked curiously. The information shows that this Ma Shichun is just a student, and he doesn't even have a brokerage company, so what can he do.
"Her sister-in-law is Jiang Wenli, and her sister-in-law is Gu Changwei, isn't this a small one?" Li Yudao.
When Zhang Jizhong heard this, he was shocked at first, but then he thought that he didn't seem to have received a call from Jiang Wenli or Gu Changwei. In other words, this actress named Ma Shichun wants to rely on herself.
"There are not many such actresses now." Zhang Jizhong said with emotion. There are two front-line people behind him, but he wants to work his own, such people are rare these years, especially in the highly competitive entertainment industry.
"Tell Ma Shichun to come in." Zhang Jizhong said to the staff on the side.
