Chapter 355: Choosing the Actors
Contrary to Jiang Changsheng's expectations, the headquarters of the Xingjiang Art Song and Dance Troupe is not a theater building, but the same as the official compound, which is still a relatively old architectural style.
Overall, it's a bit like a combination of a school and a compound.
After walking into the headquarters, Antimu asked, "Mr. Jiang, do you want to take a break today, or do you want to go directly to the selection of actors?" ”
Jiang Changsheng's MV shooting requires the selection of several actors, and the Xingjiang Art Song and Dance Troupe has almost brought together the most artistic performance talents in the Xingjiang region.
That's why Lu Yunqing asked the song and dance troupe to receive Jiang Changsheng.
This is to facilitate the selection of actors.
Jiang Changsheng looked at Tong Axiang, Tong Axiang immediately straightened up and said, "I'm fine."
I can't do it, I can sit in a chair and squint for a while, and you don't have to worry about me. ”
Jiang Changsheng nodded, he also liked to be direct, so he said: "Xiao Li, you go to the hotel to rest first, and I will work with the head of the troupe to select the actors first." ”
Xiao Li is the leader of the three-person MV shooting team, they don't have such good energy as Jiang Changsheng, and they are already very tired after taking a plane for more than 4 hours.
And they carry a lot of various devices.
Xiao Li and the others happily accepted Jiang Changsheng's arrangement, turned around and went back to the hotel to rest first.
Jiang Changsheng took Tong Axiang's little hand, followed Antimu, and came to the largest practice room in the dance troupe.
A long table and a few chairs have been set up inside.
Antimu said: "You guys sit down first, I've already told you to go down, the actors are still preparing, and they will come over in a while." ”
Jiang Changsheng sat in the middle of the table, Tong Axiang sat beside him, seeing that Axiang was still a little sleepy, Jiang Changsheng said, "Lean on my shoulder and sleep for a while." ”
Tong Axiang didn't refuse, just now on the plane, she did run out of physical strength.
Leaning on Jiang Changsheng's thick shoulders and smelling the faint scent of sandalwood on his body, Tong Axiang felt that his mind was particularly stable and he soon fell asleep.
Seeing that Tong Axiang almost fell asleep in seconds, Head Antimu sighed: "Teacher Jiang, it's not easy to be a star, Yaya used to be in our group, but she was notoriously desperate Sanniang."
The daily training is the most serious and hardworking, and I am also very active in participating in various activities.
At the beginning, the dance training was so hard, and I didn't see the girl tired like this, and she could fall asleep all of a sudden.
The intensity of this star's work is really great! ”
Jiang Changsheng: "......"
The culprit, Jiang Changsheng, explained: "It's not easy, Yaya flew back from the United States the day before yesterday, and flew here from Yanjing today, the itinerary is very rushed, and it is indeed very tiring." ”
Jiang Changsheng and Antimu talked casually, most of the time Antimu was talking, and he focused on the development history and achievements of the Xingjiang Art Song and Dance Troupe.
In addition to the Uyghurs, the Xingjiang Song and Dance Troupe also includes all kinds of performers from more than ten ethnic groups such as Han, Kazakh, Hui, Mongolian, Kirgiz, Uzbek, Xibe, Manchu, and Russian.
The song and dance troupe has created and performed dances, songs, music, playing and singing programs of various ethnic groups, and several programs have won world awards.
Jiang Changsheng really didn't know much about the Xingjiang Song and Dance Troupe before, so he didn't feel bored listening to the introduction of the troupe leader.
Antimu saw Jiang Changsheng listening carefully to his words, and suddenly felt that he was respected, and his favor towards Jiang Changsheng rose.
About a quarter of an hour later, the first actor walked in, an acquaintance.
The flower of the Uyghurs, Xiao Nazha.
Behind Nazha was a long procession.
After a while, there were more than a hundred actors standing in front of Jiang Changsheng.
Jiang Changsheng finally understood why Antimu put the location for selecting actors in this largest dance training room.
This is to give more actors the opportunity to show themselves.
Although it is only an opportunity to appear in an MV, the filmmaker of this MV is Jiang Changsheng, and the MV and songs are still the key publicity items of the Yanjing Olympic Games.
Filming this MV not only has the opportunity to make a name for itself in China, but also a good opportunity to brush your face abroad.
The actors of the dance troupe, everyone wants to fight for it.
In addition, Jiang Changsheng said that he wanted to choose actors, and he didn't say how many actors he wanted, whether they were male or female, and how old they were.
So Antimu arranged for most of the actors in the song and dance troupe to audition.
If it weren't for the fear that Jiang Changsheng would be dissatisfied, Antimu would have wanted to call the entire troupe of actors.
As the head of the troupe, Antimu is still competent, at least a bowl of water is level, and treats the actors in each dance troupe equally.
Therefore, Jiang Changsheng not only had no opinion on Antimu's slightly abrupt arrangement, but also cooperated very much.
He smiled and said, "Captain Antimu, why don't you just wait a little longer, call all the remaining actors in the troupe, and I'll screen them together." ”
Antimu was overjoyed when he heard this, "Thank you, Mr. Jiang, Aimu, you go and inform me, if you are willing to come to audition, you can come!" ”
A tall, thin actor said yes and walked out.
After everyone arrived, Jiang Changsheng gently moved Tong Axiang's head and let her lie on the table to sleep.
This girl was really tired, she slept very deeply, and she was by Jiang Changsheng's side, she felt a sense of security, and there was no sign of waking up at all.
Jiang Changsheng stood up and said: "Thank you Xingjiang Song and Dance Troupe for your support to me and the motherland's Olympic propaganda work, and thank you for your willingness to take the time to participate in this audition."
First of all, the shooting of this MV has two main purposes, one is to promote the Yanjing Olympics, and the other is to show the people of the whole country and even the world the development achievements of our great beauty and rejuvenation of Xinjiang. ”
Today's Xingjiang, the development is indeed in full swing, until 09 years, after some things happen, will be based on stability, stability or even overwhelming development.
Slowly, the development speed of Xingjiang slowed down.
The MV that Jiang Changsheng wants to shoot is a very simple story, a little girl who became an Olympic champion in equestrian competitions through her own step-by-step efforts.
The plot part borrows from Yindu's movie Wrestling Bar Dad, combined with the local folklore of Xingjiang.
Jiang Changsheng carefully considered the choice of equestrian projects to shoot, first, the Xingjiang area has always been a horse-producing area in China, with abundant water and grass, and many natural horse farms.
Xingjiang has always been known as the hometown of Tianma, there are three famous horses: Yili horse, Yanqi horse, and Balikun horse, and horseback riding is one of the characteristics of Xingjiang.
Second, to shoot horseback riding, you can shoot many scenes of galloping horses, riding horses galloping in one beautiful scenic spot after another in Xingjiang, which can show the great scenery of Xingjiang.
And horseback riding is also more interesting in shooting, suitable for both men and women.
There are a total of 4 main characters in Jiang Changsheng's MV, when the heroine was a child, when the heroine grew up, the heroine's father, the heroine's brother, and the rest of the supporting characters were all fleeting, not very important.
The synopsis of the story is that the heroine's father is obsessed and wants to prove that Xingjiang's horses and equestrianism are the best in the world, and he didn't have the opportunity to be without a stage when he was young, so he pinned his hopes on his son.
Unfortunately, his training was too strict, and his son was physically exhausted under the cruel training, and accidentally fell off the horse and became disabled.
When the whole family is not optimistic, the heroine inherits her brother's position, trains hard, and finally overcomes difficulties and becomes the champion.
Jiang Changsheng also wants to show the humanities and scenery and economic development of Xingjiang in the story, so he can only take a rough picture of this story.
Jiang Changsheng is busy during this time, he plans to shoot the MV first, and if he has time in the future, or if he is interested, he can improve this story, make a movie, and make a Chinese version of wrestling Dad.
After Jiang Changsheng finished speaking, he asked the actors to form a group of 6 and line up to show it.
Guli Nazha and Parzati are the first group to come out to show, the two have just been selected to participate in the Chinese national costume display party, and they are very confident, and they feel that they have a high probability of being selected.
Especially Gulnaza, whose little head is always held high, like a proud little peacock.
Jiang Changsheng watched the dance displayed by the six people, and was noncommittal, but asked, "Is there anyone who can ride a horse?" ”
No one spoke, and Jiang Changsheng was not disappointed.
Ulumuqi is a big city, and it is normal for children who live and grow up here to be children in the city, not herdsmen, and not to ride horses.
Jiang Changsheng said directly: "The next batch!" ”
Six more people stood up and started to show.
Jiang Changsheng's screening speed is very fast, he knows that the members of the song and dance troupe are mainly dances and singing, and their acting skills are not expected, so the selection of actors is mainly based on appearance and temperament.
Jiang Changsheng's eyes are extremely keen, and with a slight glance, you can see if there are suitable actors.
By the time of the fourth batch, Jiang Changsheng's eyes lit up, and he pointed to a girl who was only about eleven or twelve years old and said, "What's your name?" ”
The little girl was a little confused and didn't speak, and the head of Antimu introduced: "Her name is Hani Kezi, 11 years old this year, she is not an official member of the troupe, but the children of two old employees of our troupe. ”
Jiang Changsheng looked at the delicate and lovely girl in front of him, and said in his heart that it was a little familiar, it turned out to be the youngest of the four beauties in Xingjiang.
Jiang Changsheng said: "Let her be an alternative." ”
Hani Kezi's age and appearance are very suitable for playing the heroine When she was a child, she seemed to be well-behaved, but she was actually very naughty.
The audition continued, and Jiang Changsheng found another actor named Hasimu, who was not very handsome, but he had a sense of stubbornness.
is more suitable for playing the heroine's brother.
The actors were changed one by one, and almost 2 hours passed, and Jiang Changsheng still hadn't found a candidate for the heroine he liked.
However, he is not in a hurry, he really can't find it, so he can try his luck in the herdsmen's group.
When the penultimate group of actors appeared, Jiang Changsheng saw a strange and familiar face.
said that it is strange because this face is very young now, and it is a bit different from the TV in later generations.
said that she was familiar because this girl was the traffic female star Di Lieba in later generations.
At this time, Di Lieba's hair was slightly yellow, her eyes were a little stunned, and her skin was slightly dark, with the feeling of a wild girl of earth.
Standing among the dancers of the song and dance troupe, Di Lieba is not outstanding, no wonder Gulnazha can choose the flower of the Uyghur people, but Reba does not.
At this time, she really needs to grow and experience.
However, Jiang Changsheng's eyes lit up, Di Lieba's current state is very consistent with his ideal MV heroine, she not only looks wilder, but also has a larger skeleton, which can shoot a sense of power.
Unlike Gulnaza, the beauty is too exquisite, and the body lacks fierce wildness.
Jiang Changsheng said: "Di Lieba, yes, you stay." ”
