Chapter 019 Audition
In a teahouse, Xiao Sheng pointed to a handsome young man in his early thirties and introduced: "Boss, this is Mr. Huang Yuansheng Huang; Mr. Huang, this is Mr. Gu Weiqi, the owner of our Phoenix TV Company. ”
"Hello Brother Huang, I've admired your name for a long time." Gu Weiqi held Huang Yuansheng's hand, and the other party's information appeared in his mind as he greeted.
Speaking of Huang Yuansheng, he can be called a legend in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle. At the age of twelve, he began to learn martial arts, and because of his hard work and high talent, he became a good kung fu at a young age. When kung fu superstar Li Xiaolong did not promote kung fu films to the world and influence the world, the kung fu films starring him have been welcomed by audiences in Hong Kong and even Southeast Asian countries.
It can be said that Huang Yuansheng was a well-deserved kung fu superstar in the seventies; At the same time, Huang is also a highly talented student, who was admitted to the Department of Civil Engineering of the University of Canada and the Department of Engineering of New York University. Because of his rich knowledge and cultivation, he has a special temperament, especially the film and television works he starred in, which is very fascinating.
However, what is unexpected is that at the peak of his acting career, he left his wife and two children to become a monk at Po Lam Temple on Lantau Island. Gu Weiqi thought of the other party's future life trajectory, and couldn't help but feel a little sorry in his heart. But no matter what, the other party is an excellent actor, and today I am here to invite the other party to star in "Huo Yuanjia", why do I think so much?
Just when Gu Weiqi's thoughts were disturbed, Huang Yuansheng chuckled and said, "Boss Gu, you are too polite." ”
"Brother Huang just call me Archie."
Gu Weiqi came back to his senses and smiled, and ordered the guys in the teahouse to serve a pot of good tea and a few snacks, and then said straight to the point: "Brother Huang, I asked you to meet today, mainly to invite you to play the leading role in the play 'Huo Yuanjia'. To be honest, this role, in my opinion, only you can play it well. You can take a look at the script first. As he spoke, he put the script in front of him.
Huang Yuansheng was shocked in his heart, and said in surprise: "Gu ...... Archie, are you so optimistic about me? ”
"That's right, you can't do this role." Gu Weiqi nodded heavily and said.
Huang Yuansheng picked up the script and read it. When Xiao Sheng invited him before, he just said hello to him, and didn't show him the script. Now when I read the script, I was immediately attracted by the plot. Especially Huo Yuanjia, the role of worrying about the country and the people, deeply shocked him.
If you really want to talk about it, Huang Yuansheng is excellent. But the identity and status of wireless are actually very embarrassing. Because his wireless family has a big business, there are many actors. Therefore, the dramas he starred in were slightly inferior to Qiu Guan and Zhou Yanfa.
Huang Yuansheng read it very carefully, so he was relatively slow, and it was not until more than two hours had passed that he slowly closed the script.
Gu Weiqi then asked, "What does Brother Huang think of this script?" ”
"The script is very well written." Huang Yuansheng exclaimed: "Especially Huo Yuanjia's chivalrous spirit, the heroic image of national righteousness is very full. ”
"So is Brother Huang considering playing the role of Huo Yuanjia?" Gu Weiqi promised: "As long as Brother Huang is willing to join me Phoenix TV, I promise to make you a superstar." To tell you the truth, in addition to letting you star in this TV series, I will also let you star in some action movie protagonists in the future. ”
Huang Yuansheng groaned slightly, and then said briskly: "Okay, since Archie is a big fist, if I twist and pinch it again, it will be too hypocritical." However, my contract with wireless will expire in half a year, and now that it has been transferred to Phoenix, I'm afraid that wireless will pursue ......"
"It doesn't matter." Gu Weiqi waved his hand and said bluntly: "Brother Huang over there, you don't have to worry about it, how much liquidated damages should be paid, I will let my lawyer team help you deal with it." You just have to think about the role of Huo Yuanjia next. ”
Next, it was relatively simple, Gu Weiqi signed a contract with Huang Yuansheng, and then asked Chen Mobao's lawyer team to negotiate with Wireless. There are many wireless talents, and naturally Huang Yuansheng is not bad. Especially when the other party has half a year to expire in the contract, he is also happy to earn a liquidated damages.
After determining the actor, let Huang Yuansheng star. Gu Weiqi also wrote out several characters such as Liang Xiaolong, Wei Haohua, Dong Dart, Zheng Lei, Li Hanzhi and Sima Hualong and handed them to Xiao Sheng, after all, they performed very well in the original play. However, except for Liang Xiaolong, Wei Haohua and Dong Dart who passed to Phoenix, several people are still in Lishi.
Fortunately, Xiao Sheng is more familiar with them, so there is naturally no need for Gu Weiqi to worry about poaching people. However, after confirming the role of "Huo Yuanjia", Xiao Sheng told him that the script of "Cold Moon Lone Star Sword" had also been made. But in terms of roles, he needs to make a decision, so Gu Weiqi decided to audition for casting.
This drama mainly tells the story of Qin Jian, one of the "Four Heavenly Kings" of martial arts, who dominated the martial arts, and colluded with Wei Renjun, the leader of the "Blood Moth Gang" who had been hidden in the rivers and lakes for many years, to kill Bai Xiaotian and his wife in the famous towns and rivers, and to seize half of the Bai family's treasure map. In order to obtain the other half of the treasure map, Qin Jian and his gang spent fifteen years of hard work and still did not succeed.
And Bai Qiushuang, the daughter of Bai Xiaotian, who escaped death back then, practiced excellent martial arts in order to avenge the destruction of the door, and relied on the famous sword "Fenghui Sword" to walk all over the rivers and lakes, looking for enemies. Later, the heroes of the rivers and lakes, Sima Changfeng, joined forces with the "Longyang Knife" with the same name as the "Fenghui Sword", and even got the murderers of Bai Xiaotian and his wife, the "Blood Moth Gang" Pope Qin Jian and the sect leader Wei Renjun, who killed the Jianghu and his wife, as for the death, in addition to a major scourge for the martial arts.
This TV series is 30 episodes, and it turned out to be a classic gathering filmed by Taiwan Bend TV in 1984. At that time, the main actors were Che Xuan, Zhang Sihan, Xiao Dalu, Zong Wei, Jiang Donghua, Gu Zheng, Qiandemen, "Roaring Leader" Ma Jintao and others. What is ironic is that Ma Jintao starred in "Immortal and Don't Save Sai Hua Tuo" at that time, which was just a supporting role, but after the TV series was broadcast, the limelight overshadowed the protagonist.
This drama is still very classic in martial arts dramas, the original cast is currently in Taiwan, of course, Gu Weiqi can no longer go to Taiwan thanklessly to find these actors.
Soon Xiao Sheng informed his assistant to bring in the audition heroine, a total of 5 girls, all of whom were beautiful. They are Yu Pu'an, Rong Huiwen, Zheng Wenya, Shirley, and the last one turned out to be the great beauty Guan Zhilin. It can be said that these five people are very familiar with Gu Weiqi.
However, Gu Weiqi was naturally most impressed by Guan Zhilin, a great beauty, Guan Zhilin was only 18 years old at this time, but she was already like a flower. Especially the most seductive thing is her charming eyes, blinking, seemingly innocent. But there is a kind of confusing taste, which is simply a natural stunner.
As far as Gu Weiqi knows, Kwan Zhilin, formerly known as Kwan Jiahui, was born in Hong Kong on September 24, 1962, studied in a girls' school, and graduated from Maryknoll College. Known as "Hong Kong's No. 1 Beauty". Han and Manchu are of mixed race, and when they were young, they were called "little beauty", "enamel dolls" and so on.
In 1980, when she had just turned 18 years old and had just entered the TV industry, she had already dated with the model, actor and fur merchant Wenbide, and later broke up because Wen was dissatisfied with Guan Zhilin's empathy with a wealthy businessman. In June 1982, Guan Zhilin met her ex-husband Wang Guox, who was 16 years older than her. Two months later, the two registered their marriage in Las Vegas, USA.
Their marriage was strongly opposed by their father, who almost committed suicide to stop their marriage. In the end, after coordination between the two sides, Guan's father finally compromised. After marriage, Guan Zhilin left the showbiz and became a full-time wife. Because Wang Guox spent all day drinking and messing with the relationship between men and women after marriage, Guan divorced Wang within half a year.
Today's Guan Zhilin is wearing a white princess dress, highlighting her graceful and delicate sexy figure, and her ear-length black bright hair is neatly tied behind her, making her beautiful appearance even more dazzling.
Gu Weiqi didn't expect to see this famous beauty in his previous life here and now. In a trance, there is always a sense of unreality that time and space are intertwined. took a closer look at this beauty who has mixed Manchu and Han descent and is known as "the first beauty in Xiangjiang", and it is really worthy of her reputation, and the real person is even more beautiful than on the screen, and I can't help but be excited.
Guan Zhilin found that the young boss stared at her fiercely, and her heart was like a deer crashing, how could anyone look at people like this?
"Ahem~" Xiao Sheng coughed lightly twice and shouted: "Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu......"
"Oh, sorry, I just got distracted by something important."
Gu Weiqi came back to his senses, looked at the five girls with an embarrassed smile and said, "Hello beautiful girls, I think everyone knows that I called you here today just to audition for the heroine of 'Cold Moon Lone Star Sword'." I won't talk nonsense, today I will give you a chance to play a fair game, and whoever of you performs well will play the heroine. Xiao Lao gave them the lines he had prepared, and Producer Xu prepared the camera. ”
"Okay." Xu Xiaoming said yes and immediately began to adjust the camera.
The line is very simple, just "The rivers and lakes are difficult to fill the hateful sea, and the sword hurts my heart". Several girls have also read the original novel in the newspaper in advance, and know that this heroine has an indifferent and withdrawn personality, and calls herself "a heartbroken person who hates the world", and she will always whisper this line every time she comes out of the sword, and she will figure it out with all her heart at the moment.
After a while, Gu Weiqi looked at the table below, and the five-minute time was up, so he said: "The audition starts, that Miss Guan will start with you, the others line up, come one by one, everyone will have a chance." Assistant Li, get her a sword. ”
"Me?" Guan Meiren was stunned, but she quickly took the props from Assistant Li's hands, came to the camera, and began to audition.
The so-called position means that when filming, the lighting and camera positions are basically fixed. That is to say, only a small area is the "effective area", and the actor must find the right camera position when performing, otherwise he will either look at the wrong place or walk out of the camera, so he must walk before shooting, which is called positioning, just like rehearsal.
Actors who often film are very sophisticated, and they can basically find it once they move. Novices are inexperienced, and this is the most common mistake novices make. However, Guan Zhilin's parents are both veteran actors, and they have been under the influence of their ears and eyes since they were children, but they are much better than ordinary novices.
I saw her take a deep breath and brew her emotions, slowly pulled out her long sword, and whispered: "The rivers and lakes are difficult...... It's hard to fill the sea of hatred, and the sword ...... The sword hurts my heart! Because of the nervousness, he became articulate at the critical moment, and as a result, after reading the lines, his pretty face became red like blood.
The other girls secretly felt funny, Gu Weiqi and Xiao Sheng glanced at each other, this acting skill was too speechless, but it was more than enough to be a vase, so she muttered: "Miss Guan, your acting skills still need to be honed." For now, you're certainly not fit for the heroine of this play. But ......"
Guan Meiren was nervous, in fact, she was also mentally prepared, but when she really heard Gu Weiqi say that, she was still very sad in her heart. However, looking at the meaning of this boss, things still have a turnaround, so he couldn't help blinking his eyes and asking, "But what Mr. Gu?" ”
