Chapter 48: Casting

In the conference room of China Film, more than a dozen star artists sat on chairs with different expressions.

They also received news from their company's agent in recent days and came to China Film for an audition for a movie.

Chen He and Xiao Yan are also impressive.

The proportion of men and women in the artists who come to audition is half and half, but the interesting thing is that the men are basically crooked and cracked, and there are many special actors.

The female ones are uniformly beautiful.

[Detective Chinatown] is a detective comedy, and the producers naturally choose the actors according to the characteristics of the characters. Most of the people who were selected to audition in this way were comedians. The roles for the auditions also vary.

Actresses are all running for the heroine.

Some were invited by the producer, and some were sent to the door after getting the news.

After all, in addition to Gu Wei, there are 3 investors in the film, and they just want a chance to audition, and if they find a relationship, Gu Wei can't help but give face.

The heroine with a big investment of 70 million, no matter what the film turns out to be in the end, it seems that the actresses in the circle are proper high-quality resources.

Wang Baoqiang's Chen Zhixi has already negotiated, and he can join the group before the start.

After all, Producer Chen is the producer of [Thai Embarrassment], and they are also acquaintances. Her face Wang Baoqiang still has to give.

And Gu Wei is not stingy, he has added 20% on the basis of Baoqiang's normal salary at this stage, with the greed of his current agent, even if there is no relationship in it, it is estimated that he will take over the drama.

Although Chen He and Xiao Yan asked them to come over for an audition, they didn't look for anyone else for their roles, and the main reason for calling them over was to let Gu Wei see his status.

Chen He was the first to enter the venue for the audition

Gu Wei, Lu Yang and Chen Zhixi sat behind the table, leaving a space for the actors to audition.

"Hello director, my name is Chen He, and I came to audition for the role of Huang Random today."

Gu Wei handed her a piece of paper with paragraphs that needed to be auditioned.

There is no surprise, Chen He's acting skills don't need to be thought about, everything he plays is a cheap look.

But his acting is quite suitable for the role of Huang Langdon.

After Chen He's performance, Gu Wei whispered a few words.

"You behaved very well, go back and discuss with your agent and come over to sign the contract, leave the schedule for a while, our movie will probably start after the year."

Gu Wei said with a smile.

"Thank you, director, thank you!" Chen He hurriedly thanked him, bowed, and went out.

Chen He still has only one step to [Love Apartment] Zeng Xiaoxian's role Xiaohuo, and he has never acted in a movie before the running man became popular.

No matter how marginal the supporting roles are, no one is looking for him, which may also be the backlash of [Love Apartment], which brings him fame and limits his development.

After that, it was Xiao Yan who came in.

Xiao Yan was very nervous, he was wearing a suit today, his hair was shiny, and with his also shiny face, the whole person looked extremely greasy.

Xiao Yan is a movie dream, the purpose of his entry into the film and television industry is to make movies, but unfortunately the song is very popular, but it is only a song popular.

With his image, no one is looking for him to film. Now that such a big production has suddenly come to the door, he still cherishes it very much. He didn't know that Gu Wei had already determined him.

"Hello directors, my name is Xiao Yan, and I am an actor."

"Don't be nervous," Gu Wei saw his nervousness and comforted

"The introduction of your character has been sent to you before, so I've read it all."

"Look! Watched! I've been researching it since I sent it to me. ”

Xiao Yan hurriedly said.

"Your audition today is very simple, come, you say this word again." As he spoke, Gu Wei brought him a piece of paper.

"Director, I'll brew for a few minutes." Xiao Yan glanced at the paper a few times and said.

Xiao Yan's expression became nervous and excited, and he stretched out his finger to look at the dot in front of him

"I warn you not to talk nonsense! I sue you for slander, you know?

I'll sue you for slander!

He slandered me!! ”

After saying a few simple words, he calmed down his emotions again, and said with a grin

"Director, I'm done."

Although the accent is not added, it already has the flavor of the original.

"Very good, this role is yours, there is a schedule after the New Year, right?"

"Yes, director, thank you director, thank you director!"

Xiao Yan was very excited when he heard this, and thanked and bowed.

It can be seen that he cherishes this opportunity very much, and it has been two years since [Old Boy] became popular, and he finally has the opportunity to walk on the road of acting in movies.

Xiao Shenyang did not come. Gu Wei asked the producer to send him an audition for the original robber, and it seems that he didn't like it.

But this is normal, Xiaoshenyang has been too popular in the past two years, since the Spring Festival Gala became popular, he starred in the movie "Three Guns Shooting Surprise" directed by Zhang Yimou, and starred in the action comedy movie "Laughing Jianghu" the next year, which can be said to be one of the hottest stars in the past two years.

The crew sent an audition for a supporting role villain, and his team naturally didn't like it.

"Hello director, my name is Lei Jiayin, and I'm here to audition for the role of Huang Langdon."

Another audition actor came in, and Gu Wei looked up, isn't this Lei Datou.

"Who introduced you?" Gu Wei asked

"Oh, I was introduced by Director Ning Hao." Lei Jiayin said a little naïvely.

"It's the person Xu Zheng pushed over there, and it's hard for me to refuse." Chen Zhixi whispered on the side.

That's right, Xu Zheng and Ning Hao have a good relationship, and the Lei family has been running with Ning Hao, so they are Ning Hao's younger brothers.

Last year, Ning Hao's "Gold Robbery" was starring Lei Jiayin.

originally wanted to praise his own optimistic little brother, but who would have thought that this movie would pounce, and the Lei family returned to obscurity again because they were not praised.

Two years later, Ning Hao released the movie [Heart Flower Road], the Lei family played a gangster, and the whole play had one line: 'I'm Nima!' ’

"The role of Huang Langdon has been decided." Gu Wei said to him.

"Ah, okay, trouble director." The Lei family's expression was gloomy when they heard this, they lowered their heads slightly, and turned around to leave.

"Do you play other roles?" Gu Wei asked suddenly.

"Acting, director, just be able to act." Lei Jiayin immediately replied after hearing this.

"You try the kidnapper boss, Brother Bei."

As he spoke, he handed over a page of lines.

Lei Jiayin thought for a while and began to perform.

He looked nervous and fierce, staring at the air in front of him.

"Where's the thing?

Still pretending to be with me, huh?

Looks like I'm not implying enough to be obvious.

I ask you about the gold!

It's not about this broken chain, I'm asking you, after you killed Songpa, where did the gold go? ”

Because there was no one to play with him, the Lei family could only imagine the response of the other side alone, and performed this kidnapping scene at their own pace.

It is said that he was admitted to the Shanghai Drama Center with the first place, and many years of drama performances have polished his acting skills, and this kind of non-physical performance is not difficult for him.

"Senior Brother Lu, what do you think?" Gu Wei turned his head and asked Lu Yang.

"The acting is very good, and it can be seen that the basic skills are solid and the foundation is deep." Lu Yang praised.

"If you don't mind if the character is small, then he's yours." Gu Wei said to Lei Jiayin.

"Thank you, Director, thank you, Director Lu." When Lei Jiayin came, he didn't have much hope, but because he hadn't been filming recently, he knew that this big production in the circle was selecting actors, and Director Tuo Ninghao's relationship came to try the play.

Although it was not the role he auditioned for, he was very happy to have a big supporting role.
