Xu Ji has long expected that the official actors will not refuse to participate in the performance after reading the script.

But what he didn't expect was that the enthusiasm of these actors was so high.

Many people rushed to try out the play soon.

Chen Kang was the first to find it after reading the script, and told Xu Ji that he wanted to appear in this drama.

There are not even big requirements for the character, as long as it is suitable.

In the end, it took Xu Ji two days to choose what he thought was suitable from among the official actors.

Chen Kang successfully won the role of Ma Shouting.

And Xu Ji's casting this time also tried his best to select some actors from the Guanzhong area.

The original soundtrack of this play is still intended for the actors to use dialects.

Dialect is a big plus point for the drama "Mountains and Seas", and Xu Ji is naturally impossible to give up.

......

After the project was established, nearly half of the casting was solved.

temporarily set some of the older roles in Shanhaiqing, and Xu Ji had to find the actors in the younger roles inside.

is mainly because the official actors are more or less middle-aged old actors, but there are basically no young ones.

Thanks to Duan Shengyu's help, Xu Ji was able to solve the need for middle-aged actors with solid acting skills in the play so smoothly.

But in terms of young actors, it made Xu Ji worried.

Among the current young actors in the entertainment industry, most of them are actually not very good at acting.

It's not even as good as Ji Yiyang.

Many young actors with good acting skills are too well-known, and Xu Ji still needs to spend a lot of effort to find these actors.

These days, he is looking for some actors who are not well-known on the Internet, but their acting skills are widely acclaimed.

But in fact, most of the articles that come out of the search are some articles full of marketing flavor.

Most of the actors mentioned in it are just to create characters.

What "acting skills exploded", "crying scenes infect people" and so on.

But in fact, when Xu Ji went to see some of the roles he played, he found that most of them did not reach the passing mark at all.

The inexplicable roar is called the explosion of acting, and the ability to cry is called a crying scene is very powerful.

......

"Why?"

"Xiaobai, you obviously auditioned for this drama before, and the director said that you are the most suitable for the role of the male lead."

"Now it's suddenly changed again, and I'm pretending to arrange a special role for you, who is rare!"

Hearing the other party's words of grievances for himself, Ran Bai's face was full of helplessness.

"Forget it, special roles are also fine."

"After all, the investor is from Phoenix Entertainment, and it is normal for the male number one to ask for the artist of their company."

"Don't talk about me, how is your show?"

"Is there any hope this time?"

Zhu Zinan also shook his head a little sadly after hearing this.

"Let me come back and wait for news."

"There will be no follow-up."

The two looked at each other and sighed in unison.

As artists of small companies, they have become accustomed to the situation where there is no drama to film.

There are so many resources in the entertainment industry, and actors like them with no background, even if they have so-called acting skills, there are still not many directors who are willing to use them.

There are so few opportunities compared to artists from other big companies.

"Love really takes courage to face gossip"

At this moment, Zhu Zinan's mobile phone rang.

"It's my agent's."

"Why is he calling?"

Zhu Zinan frowned.

She doesn't have much of a good impression of the agent she has arranged by this company.

As an agent, the other party basically didn't bring much help to her.

On the contrary, every time he tried his best to find a play to act, the other party shamelessly took away part of the salary.

Recently, her contract is about to expire, and Zhu Zinan has already planned not to renew her contract and find a way to enter the three major entertainment companies.

"Becoming an Immortal"

Small companies are fed up with the days when they don't have resources.

But how are the Big Three so easy to enter?

Zhu Zinan thought as he picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

......

The expression on Zhu Zinan's face changed from impatience at the beginning, to subsequent surprise, and finally to surprise.

Ran Bai looked at Zhu Zinan, who changed her face at the speed of light, strangely, and after she hung up the phone, she immediately asked:

"What's wrong?"

Zhu Zinan had not recovered from the excitement at this time.

Taking a deep breath, he said:

"It's Xu Ji Xu Dao."

"Contact my agent and ask me if I can audition for his new play!"

Ran Bai frowned.

"Xu Ji?"

"Is it a sequel to Sword and Fairy?"

"Really, don't be deceived."

"Xu Ji will invite a little actor like us who doesn't know how many lines?"

Obviously, Ran Bai felt that Zhu Zinan had been deceived.

At this moment, Ran Bai's phone rang too.

Two minutes later, he hung up, the expression on his face becoming strange.

"Seems to have invited me too?"

......

When Xu Ji saw Ran Bai and Zhu Zinan, he knew that the two were actually from the same company.

Zhu Zinan was sure that he was seeing Xu Zhenren, and the whole person was extremely excited.

Then before Xu Ji could speak, she spoke first.

"Director Xu!"

"I... I'm a fan of Tongtong! ”

"If I can, I'd like to ask you to help me get a signed photo of Tongtong."

"By the way, although I'm not the CP party of you and Tongtong, but ......"

Before Zhu Zinan's words were finished, he was pulled back by Ran Bai with a black face.

"I'm sorry, Director Xu, her head was caught by the door when she was a child, don't mind."

Xu Ji originally thought that the other party would say that he liked his own "Fairy Sword One" or something, but he didn't expect Zhu Zinan to be a fan of Sha Yetong.

And from the way she was excited just now, she was still a fanatical brainless fan?

Xu Ji actually chose these two people, in addition to matching their image and temperament, mainly because he had watched several plays in which the two of them played supporting roles before, and in terms of acting skills, they can definitely be regarded as the top among the actors in their twenties.

Xu Ji has been looking for actors to audition in a haystack for the past few days, but he has gained little.

And it's also strange why these two people actually look okay, and their acting skills are so outstanding, but they still don't seem to be paid much attention.

Even the number of fans in Weite is more than 100,000.

Of course, it is impossible to make a decision based on past works alone.

So the main purpose of inviting these two people here this time is also to audition.

Xu Ji asked Yang Anran to give part of the script to the two of them, and gave each one ten minutes to prepare.

The two auditioned for the roles of Ma Defu and Li Shuihua.

......

The audition ends.

Looking at Zhu Zinan, who didn't come out of the crying scene and wiped her tears, Xu Ji's first impression of her changed greatly.

She was still a brainless fan just now, but she didn't expect to enter the play so quickly.

After getting the script, the serious appearance and the one just now are completely two people.

Although the performance just now is still far from the standard of the final film.

But after all, Xu Ji only gave ten minutes of his time.

Xu Ji felt that the audition effect was up to standard.

And on the actor's side, Ran Bai's performance also made Xu Ji more satisfied.

Xu Ji was very happy in his heart, and invited so many actors to audition in a row, and this time he finally met what he expected.

To be on the safe side, in the next hour or so, Xu Ji let the two try several scenes in a row.

In the end, he no longer hesitated, and immediately made a decision.

"Welcome to the crew of "Mountains and Seas"."

When Xu Ji stretched out his hand to shake hands with the two, Ran Bai and Zhu Zinan were stunned.

They have become accustomed to the words of the director who asked them to go back and wait for news after the audition.

It was the first time I was directly determined at the audition.

"Thank you, Director!"

Ran Bai and Zhu Zinan said in unison, both looking very excited.

"I'll take the script back later, prepare it well, and I'll let you know when I'm in the group."

Xu Ji said with a smile.

was about to leave, walked to the door, Zhu Zinan seemed to think of something, turned around and trotted in front of Xu Ji.

"Director Xu, as I told you before, Tongtong's signature must help me!"

Zhu Zinan folded his hands and made a pleading.

"And are you and Tongtong together?"

"I'm in a hurry!"

Then without waiting for Xu Ji to answer, Ran Bai quickly came over and dragged her away.

"Director Xu is embarrassed."

"Let's go first......"

......
