Chapter 21: Casting

"Chen Nan, what are you doing standing at the door?"

"Come in."

Chen Nan stayed at the door for a while, and someone in the office greeted him.

"Teacher." Chen Nan went in when he heard the sound and saw the class guide Shu Rong.

This one is not famous, but her son Gao Xin is a little famous, Lu Yihao in "Deep Love and Rain", and Su Mingzhe in "It's All Good", have never been popular, but they are also evergreens in the entertainment industry.

"Sit."

Shu Rong has a strict personality and is a strict teacher in the eyes of students. Chen Nan acted twice in the field last semester, and dealt with her, knowing that it was difficult, but also admired such a responsible teacher.

Chen Nan sat down.

Shu Rong looked at Chen Nan: "I watched a few episodes of "Fish Beauty", and you performed well in it. ”

"The teacher has won the award."

Chen Nan smiled shyly.

"However, it can be seen that many places are still very young and the performances are immature."

"The course must not be left behind."

"The freshman year is the time to lay the foundation, and in principle, you are not allowed to take on the show. But in the first play, you said that your family was poor and had to earn tuition. In the second play, you are the protagonist, and you memorize the textbook well, I have only made an exception for you twice. ”

Shu Rong mentioned the incident of the last semester, and Chen Nan smiled: "Teacher, my family is really poor, and the tuition fees are all made up by the whole village. ”

"Okay, okay." Shu Rong waved her hand, a little helpless.

In general, poor students who come to university from a small place will have low self-esteem and will not mention their family conditions. But this Chen Nan is not ashamed but proud, and he coldly defeated her last semester, but he almost didn't see anyone for the whole semester.

"It can't be like this this year!"

Shu Rong called Chen Nan over and said that's what he said.

But—

"Teacher."

"This-"

Chen Nan smiled: "The company is going to open a drama in the middle of the month, and I am still a screenwriter and part-time assistant director, mainly responsible for the early casting and crew performance management. ”

"You're an acting student!"

Shu Rong didn't know what to say, so she paused before asking, "You also wrote the scripts for the two plays last year?" ”

"Yes."

"This is the third part."

Chen Nan nodded, this is a seniority, every word is handwritten by him, there is no need to be too modest.

"Since you have the ability to write a screenplay, the teacher can't delay you." Shu Rong looked at Chen Nan: "You are in charge of casting this time?" ”

Chen Nan heard what Shu Rong meant, and took the initiative to say: "Just follow the producer and director to help, you can't be the master." ”

Shu Rong nodded, this is normal, she knows the film and television industry very well, and she roughly knows where Chen Nan's authority is: "Okay, if I approve it, but the ugly words are ahead, the course can't be left behind, and the acting skills must keep up." ”

"Teacher, rest assured."

Chen Nan responded.

……

Early March.

It's been two days since school started.

Chen Nan came to Datang Company again, and the main creators of "Baolian Lantern" have gathered together-

Producer and producer Lee Kook-k, directors Choi Jin-sang, Jung Ki-sung, and several assistant directors.

Today's main agenda item is casting.

"This is the resume received so far, everyone will look at it, put it aside if they think it is appropriate, and then focus on the discussion."

Li Guoli personally presided over the casting process.

There are many main roles in "Baolian Lantern", many of which have been decided, such as Lin Zhiying as Liu Shenxiang, Yu Li as Yang Sanniang, Guo Jingan as Liu Yanchang, Shen Aojun as Treading Xue, and He Jiawen as Tian Rui.

Chen Nan had already buried a foreshadowing for himself when he was writing the script, and made a cameo appearance in the role of 'Erlang God' in the play, focusing on the most handsome Erlang God in history.

This role is not even considered a male third, with Chen Nan's screenwriter status, plus Li Guoli mentioned it slightly, he easily won it.

"Piao Piao."

"Who has the right person?"

Li Guoli said the roles that had been set, and then began to select actors.

Piao Piao is the female No. 3, Liu Yanchang's confidante, who has been obsessively waiting for Liu Yanchang for many years and never abandons him. In order to save Liu Yanchang and prevent him from being punished by God, she actually stole Sanniang's Baolian lamp, causing Sanniang to be ambushed by Erlang God, causing Liu Yanchang to abandon himself.

The original time and space should be played by Taiwanese singer Chen Mingzhen.

But in this life, because of the arrival of Chen Nan, the drama started filming ahead of schedule, and at this point in time, Chen Mingzhen's schedule was not available, so the role was vacant.

Chen Nan looked through his resume, most of them he didn't know, but there were two people he was very impressed.

"Yan Danchen, graduated from Nortel's 96-level performance department, and won the best adult actor award and the 'Huabiao Award' for the best newcomer award in the children's movie 'Tong Niu Award'."

"Wu Yue, graduated from the 91-level performance department of Shanghai Opera, and went directly to the Shanghai Drama Center after graduation, and starred in many works, including "Heaven and Earth Love".

The conditions of the two are really good, and they are each elected.

In the original time and space of the previous life, Yan Danchen was the most beautiful Chang'e in the Jiao version of "Baolian Lantern", and Wu Yue was the scheming Ling Ling in "The First Half of My Life".

These two people, the former looks amazing in ancient costumes, and the latter has quite charm in later generations.

plays Piao Piao, more than enough.

But when it was Chen Nan's turn, he directly elected Yang Mingna: "I have collaborated on "Fish Beauty" and "The Wrong Sedan to Marry the Right Lang" before, and the ancient costumes are not bad, saving the effort of running-in. And it is a familiar face on the side of the audience in Taiwan Province. ”

Objectively speaking, Chen Nan is actually more inclined to Yan Danchen, and the Chang'e fairy she starred in a few years is amazing and resentful, which is quite similar to the role of Piaopiao.

But Yang Mingna is a sister, a sister with a sense of betrayal, so there is no reason not to push.

"Just Yang Mingna."

"The image is more appropriate."

Li Guoli didn't hesitate to make a decision.

Yan Danchen's image is suitable and his acting skills are good, but he is far away.

Wu Yue was born in opera, and now he is an actor at the Shanghai Drama Center, a neighbor and a friend, but his ancient costumes are not outstanding.

And Chen Nan pushed Yang Mingna, and Li Guoli also knew that the two had a very good personal relationship, and they were half of their own family, so there was no reason not to use it.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye.

Wednesday, March 15.

On the play table.

Classes are out on this day.

"Sun Ningfang! Sun Ningfang! ”

"Hurry up!"

Li Shu held Tong Lei and urged Sun Ningfang, who was sleeping with him, vigorously. Today is the day of the premiere of "The Wrong Sedan Chair to Marry the Right Lang" starring Chen Nan, and they made an appointment to go to Sun Ningfang's house tonight to watch it together.

"It's coming, it's coming." Sun Ningfang randomly stuffed two books into her bag: "Eight o'clock in prime time, it's still early, you are soul-hygienic!" ”

"What eight o'clock!"

"The local station starts at 7:40, your home is so far away, you can't rush over!"

Li Shu begged to go to someone's house to watch TV two days ago, but today is justified.

"I can't tell you." Sun Ningfang cleaned up the mess, stepped forward to hold Li Shu, and the three sisters ran out of the school in small steps.
