"Wei Ting, we have an invitation to the Martial Arts Grandmaster!"

Hearing the news from his agent, Chen Weiting said he was very happy.

"The hero's?"

"There is a male protagonist, but ......" When it comes to the role, his agent is a little hesitant.

"Let's talk about it."

"The competitive pressure of the male protagonist is relatively high, and we also won several individual roles, and Wedo Entertainment requires audition selection."

"Do you still want to audition?"

Although Chen Weiting has a certain amount of psychological preparation for the 'audition', he still feels a little pressured to really do this.

"Well, they demand it." The agent was relieved, "Tingzai, don't be unhappy, this project of Wedo Entertainment is very high-quality, although it has not yet started production, but all parties predict that they have basically booked the position of the overlord next year." Being able to participate, as long as it is a role with a good role, will have great benefits. Of course, it's better for us to win the leading actor, and if not, it's good to win some roles with more scenes. ”

"Hmm." In fact, Chen Weiting has already done a good job in the relevant psychological construction, "I have actually been working hard to prepare." ”

……

The audition for "Martial Arts Grandmaster" will be held as scheduled.

Chen Weiting arrived at the scene according to the appointed time.

He knows this place.

This is a film and television base on the edge of Shenghai Jiangdong District, where Wedo Entertainment has leased a piece of land, which is similar to an abandoned factory building, as the site for this audition.

It is said that this will also be the filming location for many shots of "Martial Arts Grandmaster" in the next period of time. For example, most of the ring matches will be set up and filmed here.

Looking at the environment in the field, it still looks a little shabby for the time being. There were clearly many signs that construction had just begun, but for this audition, construction was suspended and cordoned off, leaving only an open space for the auditioners to wait and rest. And there is a very large inner room, according to the staff on the scene, it should be the place of audition, and director Fan Zhe will be there to audition for the actors invited this time.

The staff, a young man, said, "Please wait here for a while, your audition will not start for a while." ”

"Okay." Chen Weiting responded politely, but in fact, he was still dissatisfied in his heart - Wedo Entertainment was too lazy!

He didn't expect that the audition would be such a scene.

Chen Weiting is self-aware, he knows that he is not a big name, but no matter what, he is also a star with a certain reputation in the circle, and his development is not bad.

Before that, most of the work he took was won by agents and invited by producers. Treatment, script, project background...... These are all suitable, sign the contract and you're done. There are also many competitions that need to be auditioned, and they also come alone, and both parties will be more polite.

Where is there such a thing as Dimension Entertainment? Build a greenhouse, gather a bunch of people over and audition one by one?

He was a singer and idol when he first debuted, and he had just transformed into the film and television industry, and he had never suffered this kind of treatment.

It is said that there are some actors who were like this when they climbed up from the bottom, but now they are still treated as the bottom?

He felt the urge to turn around and walk away now.

But in the end, it was pressed.

For no other reason, the project was so high-quality, so good that almost no one thought it would fail.

This is true for insiders, and at the audience level.

After "Fantasy of the Three Kingdoms", the investment in the filming of the second TV series increased by 300 million yuan compared with the former, an increase of 2.5 times.

You don't see, some time ago, when the news of the establishment of the "Martial Arts Grandmaster" project was just sent, it was directly on the hot search. To put it mildly, "Martial Arts Grandmaster" just relied on a conceptual design drawing, which detonated the audience's expectations, and all kinds of cheers were endless.

This is already a very huge mass base, and it may not take much effort to maintain the popularity in the later stage. And as long as the quality of the work is not too bad after it is launched, there is no possibility of hitting the street.

And the quality ......

The works produced by 'Dimension Entertainment' do not have the problem of insufficient quality. It's almost a consensus, and no one will have any doubts about it until they fail once.

Chen Weiting still has ambitions for such a work, and he is unwilling to miss it.

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, he continued to walk forward.

In front of him, there were rows of seats, on which a few people sat scattered around.

Before he could sit down, he suddenly heard someone calling him.

turned his head and took a look, and found that it was an acquaintance: Li Zhiting

The two are both Hong Kong people, so they naturally know each other.

"Why are you there?" Chen Weiting was a little curious.

"I'm right there." Li Zhiting said, "Come and sit, get closer, it's too cold." ”

Sitting next to him, Chen Weiting looked up and looked around, and saw a few other familiar faces, not necessarily familiar, at least they were all good stars in the circle.

"What are they doing here?" In front of acquaintances, Chen Weiting did not hide his dissatisfaction, but lowered his voice a little, "Look down on us so much? ”

"Yes...... Obviously, Li Zhiting was not very satisfied, he said: "I saw several people coming over before, and when I encountered such treatment, I turned around and left." Do you know that Li Yang? When he came, he was furious, saying that he would never cooperate with Wedo Entertainment in the future, and he dragged it very much. ”

Hearing this, Chen Weiting was stunned for a moment, and another thought came to his heart: Does this mean that the competitiveness of this drama is much smaller all of a sudden?

It seems that it is not without good things.

Just thinking about it, another wave of people came behind me.

After seeing the people who came, these are a few people who are in the limelight!

Una, Chen Yu, and Li Ze are all signed artists of 'Dimension Brokerage'.

Although the qualifications of these three are not very deep, however, their popularity in the recent past is not bad.

Chen Yu naturally doesn't need to talk about it, after "Fantasy of the Three Kingdoms", he is the most popular student.

Una played Shen Yan in "Fantasy of the Three Kingdoms", which also brought a certain amount of popularity to herself. And in the summer of this year, the "Legend of the Dragon and Tiger" produced by Huayi, which was released, cooperated with a number of big names, which can be regarded as a wave of faces.

Li Ze is relatively poor, but "Hell Apartment" is known as the best domestic horror film in recent years, and as the protagonist of it, it has always come to the fore.

Seeing them, Chen Weiting was even more determined to stay, even if he was neglected, he wanted to participate in "Martial Arts Grandmaster".

And even that little bit of slackness, after seeing the three of them, they all found a place in the leaky factory to sit down and wait, and slowly calmed down: although the conditions made by Dimension Entertainment are not very good, it has managed to treat everyone equally, not maliciously neglecting.

Actually, it didn't make him wait long.

After sitting for a while, Li Zhiting went inside, and the audition should have begun.

Chen Weiting didn't know what role his friend was fighting for, and he didn't ask.

After Li Zhiting left, he himself quickly followed another staff member to a room next to him to put on makeup and change clothes.

Auditions are not only about performance, but also about the fit of appearance.

He will also change into several other outfits, hair accessories, and try out the image of several other characters.

Before entering the audition room, Chen Weiting took a deep breath.

This kind of nervous feeling of competing for a chance is actually rare after he became famous.

But there is a feeling in the dark that if I can't take this opportunity, I will regret it very much.

……

The whole audition lasted almost three days.

Fan Zhe was there the whole time.

The actor still has to take care of it himself.

As for the not very good environment at the audition site, which makes people feel snubbed, this is not intentional.

Indeed, the audition site could have been held in a more comfortable place, but it was troublesome.

Now that the location of the shooting has been confirmed, what's the big deal about simply putting the audition here?

As for the actors who came, they didn't feel good, and even one of the 'little fresh meats' lost his temper, saying that he would never cooperate with Wedo Entertainment, and then left......

Fan Zhe didn't care either.

These uncles can't even accept the uncomfortable environment of the audition site, and Fan Zhe has no confidence in them. It is not a comfortable thing for actors to shoot film and television works, especially those with a serious attitude and a good attitude.

Fan Zhe doesn't want that kind of 'head-changing actor'.

In his vision, before the film officially starts shooting, all the actors will undergo a 'action training'. This training will be implemented in the contract and all actors will need to participate.

One of the main selling points of the film "Martial Arts Master" in the future is the fight in the ring.

This fight is not a real fight, it is not about winning or losing, but it has to be fought beautifully.

Although stuntmen can be used in many places, the leading actors still can't avoid having to get started in person, and there are not a few.

Fan Zhe doesn't want the actors' performances to drag down the quality of the film.

At present, the crew has hired three action teams from different places. One is a certain team in China, and it is said that many members come from Shaolin, Wudang and other places. Whether traditional martial arts can be fought or not, whether they have actual combat ability, this will not be said for the time being, but it is very beautiful to watch.

There are also two teams, one is from Honggang, which is an old action team, and they have a lot of masterpieces in the golden age of Hong Kong films; The other, from abroad, is a hardcore fighting team, and they are good at showing the feeling of punching to the flesh on camera, that is, strengthening the sense of blowing.

Three different teams, three different directions, they will be involved in the whole process of filming, including the provision of stuntmen, including the actors' action training, including participation in the action design.

In order to invite them, it took a lot of money.

And the enhancement of the action effect they can bring will be an out-and-out plus point for "Martial Arts Grandmaster" in terms of quality.

But the premise is that the actors have to be reliable.

The time of this movement training may last for half a month, and the intensity will not be too low.

It's still hard for Fan Zhe to imagine that the general 'little fresh meat', the kind that eats purely by his face, will be able to endure this.

It's not that they can't endure hardship. Indeed, there are people who came out of the trainee career and also suffered at the beginning.

However, suffering when you are not famous is different from suffering after becoming famous.

What's more, people's time to make money is very tight, and the daily schedule is so tense, and it has even been revealed that a stand-in is used throughout the filming of a TV series, and this kind of thing is going to P in the later stage. It's good to be willing to come to the film in person, and spend half a month to 'train' in vain? Just kidding!

As Fan Zhe thought, many people said that they wanted to talk about this after seeing the contract requirements.

Some said that they hoped to be able to compress the time, and actually shoot while training the action, don't separate; Some simply said that the filming time was too long, and I hope that during the filming process, I can often ask for leave to go out to run other announcements, and it is impossible to spend four months in a row on a work......

For the various requirements of various brokerage companies, Fan Zhe listened to them one by one, and then ......

Reject them all.

His idea is simple: "I'm not looking for stars, I'm looking for actors." ”

After ruling out a large number of choices, Fan Zhe finally found a lot of actors who met his heart.

The actor Lou Cheng and Fan Zhe were cautious, and finally chose Chen Yu, a self-trained actor.

This guy is indeed very talented. His performance in "Fantasy of the Three Kingdoms" is very good, and his own professional level has passed, and after the filming of the TV series, he was pressed in the professional training class for half a year, and he settled down to continue to polish his skills.

After "Fantasy of the Three Kingdoms", he took on two more plays, although they were not as popular as the reality of "Fantasy of the Three Kingdoms", but his results were not bad, and his performance in them was also remarkable.

The image is also very good, very sunny, which is more suitable for the role of 'Lou Cheng'.

What's more, "Martial Arts Grandmaster" is an out-and-out 'big protagonist' drama. The so-called 'big protagonist' means that in this drama, there are many roles of the protagonist.

This is a comfortable nonsense, if there are not many scenes, what kind of protagonist is it?

However, in many film and television dramas, there are also heroines, so-called second protagonists, important supporting roles and other roles, and their roles in the drama will not be less. The proportion of these characters and the protagonists is also different in different works.

And "The Grandmaster of Martial Arts", the reason why it is called the 'big protagonist' is that Lou Cheng is the protagonist, who occupies a lot of scenes.

This means that if "Martial Arts Grandmaster" becomes popular, the bonus on the protagonist will be terrifying. Relatively speaking, there is such an excellent supporting role.

However, there is no end to it.

After all, in the original book, there are still some very good characters.

For example, Lin Que is the male supporting role, Yan Zheke is the female protagonist, and there are many high-grade and strong characters, and there is no shortage of outstanding ones.
