Xiao Cheng, who was immersed in hard work, received a call from Bai Fan three days later in the morning, saying that the actors who were preparing for the audition had all arrived, and the casting would start today. Xiao Cheng stopped his copying work at this time, and he didn't dress up much, so he went out in a down jacket.

The casting is different from the last time the crew met so casually, many of them are famous stars in China, and even some supporting roles have attracted many powerful stars because of their generous remuneration, so Bai Fan rented a large conference room at Jinglun Hotel to decorate the façade.

After all, this is a movie with an investment of hundreds of millions, and casting is such an important thing, you can't be sloppy, and you can save money.

The first part of "Spider-Man" mainly has six important characters:

Male starring: Xie Feng, Spider-Man. An ordinary high school student, after being bitten by an artificially bred spider, has all kinds of superpowers.

Actress: Zhong Jiabi, Xie Feng's neighbor, the girl Xie Feng has had a crush on since he was six years old.

Male No. 1 supporting role: Green Goblin (Chen Xiangyang), the owner of Chen's Biological Co., Ltd., a manufacturer of military weapons, the chief researcher, and the father of Spider-Man's friend Chen Ling.

Supporting actor: Chen Ling, the heir of Chen's enterprise, is from a wealthy family, handsome in appearance, and single-minded.

Supporting actor: Xie Ming, Spider-Man's uncle.

Supporting actress: Wang Lan, Spider-Man's aunt.

Of course, there are a lot of outstanding supporting roles, so today's task is not light!

Because the estimation of the traffic in the capital is insufficient, Xiao Cheng arrived at the Jinglun Hotel at 10 o'clock, 1 hour late, many people who came to the interview were already waiting in the corridor outside the conference room a little impatiently, Bai Fan took Xiao Cheng into the conference room, and the production director Lin Pingjiang was responsible for today's casting.

After the three of them sat down, Bai Fan signaled that the field notes on the side could start, but who knew that the field notes opened the door and called twice, but no one outside answered. The scene was a little embarrassed and walked back.

Bai Fan asked, "What's going on?" ”

The scene notes: "The star who came to audition has already left first because the casting has not started for a long time." ”

The star who left is called Yue Sheng, who has made two or three well-received action movies in the past few years, and the whole person is shaking, and he doesn't treat Rainbow, an obscure music company in the film and television industry, very much, if it weren't for the fact that the agent said that the salary was 5 million, he wouldn't even want to come.

Bai Fan looked at Xiao Cheng with some embarrassment, this Yue Sheng's conditions in all aspects are quite suitable, he was one of his favorite candidates for the leading actor at the beginning, and he didn't expect to make such a fuss before they met.

Xiao Cheng sneered, he would not be accommodating to this kind of big-name actor, and when he Yue Sheng regretted getting a mallet egg in the future, Xiao Cheng picked up the actor information on the table, made a × on Yue Sheng's name, and said to the scene: "Call the next one." ”

Then interviewed four famous actors in a row, Xiao Cheng always felt that something was missing, and he didn't feel that there was a problem when he looked at the photos, but as soon as he started performing on the scene, he couldn't do it.

It wasn't until the fifth actor walked into the conference room that Xiao Cheng felt at first glance that this person matched the image of Spider-Man in his mind.

This actor named Chu Mingxiong is not tall, about 170cm, and he feels a little shy when he walks, with good facial features, and he looks a little handsome. In particular, his eyes are very bright, giving people a sense of wisdom.

Xiao Cheng didn't wait for Bai Fan to speak, and said to the actor named Chu Mingxiong first: "You are an extremely aggressive person, with an arrogant personality and contempt for others. Now perform a section of yourself walking on the road very proudly, and you can exaggerate as much as you can in your movements and demeanor, and completely let go of yourself. ”

Bai Fan and Lin Pingjiang didn't understand what Xiao Cheng was doing? This is completely different from the main character in the script.

Xiao Cheng knew that if he didn't explain it to them, I was afraid that the two would misunderstand, after all, how to make a movie, the director has the director's ideas. Although Xiao Cheng is the boss, Bai Fan and Lin Pingjiang have a very high status in the crew and cannot be treated casually.

So Xiao Cheng said in a low voice: "This Chu Mingxiong is quite suitable in all aspects, but in the script of the third part of "Spider-Man", there is a stage where the protagonist's personality is very different, so I want to see if he is suitable." ”

Bai Fan and Lin Pingjiang were stunned, they didn't expect Xiao Cheng to create the third part of "Spider-Man", which means that if the first part is filmed, there will be at least two more in the future, and the two were a little shocked in an instant.

After listening to Xiao Cheng's words, Chu Mingxiong thought for a moment and asked, "Can you give me some more hints?" ”

Xiao Cheng said: "You walk on the street, you don't care about other people's eyes at all, it's like listening to jazz and dancing, do you want to have some jazz music to feel the feeling?" ”

Chu Mingxiong shook his head and said no, then stood there and lowered his head to think, after a few minutes, he raised his head suddenly, his body swayed and walked around, with a wicked smile on his face, and looked at Xiao Cheng and the three of them unscrupulously.

Chu Mingxiong instantly changed from an obedient card to a somewhat neurotic person, with exaggerated movements, sharp eyes full of aggression, and a very good grasp of Xiao Cheng's requirements.

It was this feeling that Xiao Cheng turned his head and said to Bai Fan and Lin Pingjiang, and the two were also very satisfied with Chu Mingxiong's acting skills, so Xiao Cheng said to Chu Mingxiong: "Okay, now that you have passed the interview, there are two contract books here, take them and take a look." ”

Chu Mingxiong was overjoyed, he couldn't imagine that he had really passed the interview. Chu Mingxiong is in his junior year at the Chinese Opera Academy this year, and he is very talented in acting, but he has run through several crews, and this time he knew by chance that there was a crew selecting the protagonist, so he came with the mentality of giving it a try.

I didn't expect to be really selected, when he saw the 0 of the remuneration on the contract book, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, do you still need to think about it? The fool only thought about it, he didn't say a word, and signed his name.

Next is the heroine, and the people who come in for interviews are all beautiful women. When he watched "Spider-Man" in his previous life, Xiao Cheng was full of resentment about the heroine's round face, this time he widened his eyes and wanted to pick out a goddess to play the heroine, and the goddess of the sling counterattack is the mainstream!

Of course, acting is the most important thing, and vases and the like are exempt.

After some dazzle, Xiao Cheng, Bai Fan and Lin Pingjiang all agreed that a girl named Tang Tiantian was the most suitable.

Tang Tiantian is from the National Art School, which is a state-run secondary professional school approved by the Beijing Municipal Education Commission, and is the earliest art secondary school with international exchange functions in Beijing. The school has the qualifications for national and international enrollment, and is an important training base for artistic talents in Beijing.

Tang Tiantian, who was only 19 years old and graduated in the next semester, was so happy when she took the contract book, but she still read the contract carefully, and finally made a phone call to ask her professor, and determined a few things that she didn't understand, and this delicate-minded girl signed her name with confidence.

The supporting role of the Green Goblin in the back is the biggest villain in the first film of "Spider-Man", this role has high requirements for acting skills, Xiao Cheng, Bai Fan, and Lin Pingjiang selected the middle-aged actor Bin Tianxiang, who has always been known for his superb acting skills.

Chen Ling is played by the handsome young student Zhuo Jun who has just debuted, Xie Ming is played by Bao Zhenguo, a kind old drama bone, and Wang Lan is played by Chen Yu, a national aunt who was once a smash hit.

Although the 6 most important roles have been selected, Xiao Cheng strives for perfection in his first movie, and some supporting roles with few scenes are also carefully selected.

For example, the heroine's boyfriend on the high school basketball team, Dr. Qian who accompanied Chen Xiangyang to test and was killed in Chen's Biotech Co., Ltd., the giant and host who fought with Spider-Man in the underground boxing market, and the best miser boss of the newspaper, etc.

The interview lasted from 10 o'clock in the morning to 7 o'clock in the evening, and I ate a quick snack at lunch, but there were still two supporting roles that were not selected, mainly because Xiao Cheng's requirements were too high and he refused to make do with it at all.

Bai Fan and Lin Pingjiang looked at Xiao Cheng's posture, and it was estimated that they would not be able to complete the plan today. But Xiao Cheng is so dedicated as a boss, how dare they not work hard.

In the end, it was Bai Mulan who called, and Xiao Cheng ended today's interview and left with a frown.
