The age of light and shadow, between auditions.

Wu Yuan sat alone, a little bored flipping through the resume in his hand.

"Knock knock." There was a knock on the door, and the staff walked into the audition room with Cai Yinong and the actors she brought.

"Mr. Cai."

"Director Wu."

After the two bosses smiled and nodded in greeting, Wu Yuan put his eyes on the actors brought by Cai Yinong.

Hu Ge, Yuan Hong, Sun Li.

Since he signed a cooperation agreement with the Tang people, Wu Yuan is not the kind of person who will break the contract, if it is appropriate, he does not mind using the actors of the Tang people in "Your Name".

Hu Ge and Yuan Hong have just finished their sophomore year and are less than 21 years old.

Let them, who are still very young, play a senior in high school, and it will not be very disobedient.

As for Sun Li, she has worked together before, although she doesn't have many roles in "The Undertaker", just a small supporting role, but Wu Yuan is quite satisfied with her acting skills.

can only say that Huang Lei really teaches well, his teaching level is better than his own acting, and he has brought out quite a few excellent actors.

His eyes lingered on Hu Ge and Yuan Hong's faces for a few more moments, and Wu Yuan sighed in his heart.

The two of them are really tender now!

Hugo is completely creamy.

He has seen Hu Ge's debut work, an urban drama called "Dandelion", in which Hu Ge also wears a pair of glasses and a half-long hair, which does not look like a male god in ancient costumes at all, but looks like a literary young man.

And now he is similar to the style in "Dandelion", with a half-long hair, but he doesn't wear glasses.

"This hair, if you join the group at that time, you have to cut it shorter, and now this hairstyle is too long." Wu Yuan stretched out his finger and pointed at Hu Ge's head.

The first thing he heard as soon as he entered the door was accusations, which frightened Hu Ge, and he nodded nervously, "Good director!" I'll cut my hair as soon as I get back! ”

"Hey, don't worry." Wu Yuan showed a playful smile and said deliberately: "It's not certain whether you can join the group, if you can't try the role, then you don't need to cut it." ”

Hu Ge was even more nervous, even Yuan Hong next to him was nervous and straightened, Director Wu said this too bluntly, the pressure was enough.

Only Sun Li covered her mouth and snickered, she knew that Director Wu was deliberately teasing the two newcomers.

"Oh, Director Wu, they are both honest children, and they are not scared." Cai Yinong complained with a smile on his face.

"Alright, no kidding." Wu Yuan also smiled and shook his head, the young Hu Ge was really funny, and it was completely different from the Hu Ge who was not arrogant or impatient, and was calm later.

"There are two scripts here, you two take them and take a look, and then give it a try."

"Hu Ge tries the male lead, but about half of the scenes in the role of Ling are the heroines after swapping bodies, which means that you have to play a girl."

"Take the script and figure it out."

Handing a prepared script to Hu Ge, Wu Yuan looked at Yuan Hong again and handed him another script: "This is your script, you have to play Hu Ge and play his classmates." ”

"You two take the script and read it first, and then try the play to see the effect."

Wu Yuan thought about it, but he still planned to give Hu Ge a chance to audition for the leading actor, not just because of the Tang people's cooperation agreement, he really felt that Hu Ge was quite suitable for the actor.

After rehearsing the drama with Luo Jin and Zhu Yawen for several months, Wu Yuan can be said to know these two actors very well.

The more he got to know him, the more he felt that the two were not suitable for the male protagonist of "Your Name".

Luo Jin is not handsome enough, and his appearance is not sunny enough, especially when he is not smiling, he looks too gloomy.

Zhu Yawen is quite sunny, but his sunshine is biased towards the strong male style.

The future Zhu Yawen was always ridiculed by the audience that he was suitable for playing a eunuch and looked feminine, but the current Zhu Yawen is really not like this

You must know that he was taken by the director of "Breaking through the Guandong" because of his appearance, and he was selected to play the masculine Zhu Chuanwu.

Later, by virtue of his appearance, he was favored by "Red Sorghum", and played Yu Zhanao, who was even more hormonal.

Don't care if he plays well or not, but several directors can pick him to play this kind of masculine role, which shows that his image is indeed very advantageous in this regard.

And the male protagonist of "Your Name" is just a sunny urban high school student, not yet to the point of "masculinity".

On the contrary, the classmate of the heroine in "Your Name" is the tall and mighty boy with a shaved board, which is very suitable for Zhu Yawen to play.

This guy also has a crush on the heroine.

Of course, Wu Yuan didn't give Zhu Yawen a chance, and then he would also give Zhu Yawen a chance to audition for the leading actor, if he performed better than Hu Ge, then he could also be used.

"As for Sun Li, you will try the role of Sun Meimei later." Wu Yuan said to Sun Li again: "Sun Meimei is the foreman of the western restaurant where the actor works. ”

"It's a very attractive, well-dressed female college student."

Calling Sun Li to audition, it's really a make-up, Wu Yuan mainly considered that he had worked with Sun Li before, and now he wants to use an actor from the Tang Dynasty, and he didn't call her to audition after calling the two newcomers, which seemed a little inappropriate, so he called her by the way.

But Wu Yuan didn't think that Sun Li could be more suitable for this role than Chen Hao.

Without him, Chen Hao's heartthrob image is really too ingrained in Wu Yuan's heart.

Chen Hao's acting skills are not bad, and he later returned to teach in Chinese opera, so there is no reason not to choose her.

In this way, after distributing the audition script to the three of them, they chatted with Cai Yinong.

And the three actors also walked to the corner of the audition room by themselves, holding the script to figure it out, Hu Ge and Yuan Hong, two rival actors, were still muttering about the play.

"Director Wu, the next TV series on our Tang side has already been planned."

At this end, Cai Yinong also pulled Wu Yuan to chat.

She told Wu Yuan in detail about the situation she was preparing for "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

When she said this, her face was also a little worried, afraid that Wu Yuan would not approve of this kind of game adaptation into a TV series.

Before "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", there was no TV series based on a game.

However, Wu Yuan smiled after listening to Cai Yinong's project plan.

"Sounds pretty good, I know that "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is a very popular game, there are many people playing it in the mainland, just find an Internet café to go in, and you will see people playing this game."

Cai Yinong was stunned, Director Wu still went to the Internet café?

His eyes stayed on Wu Yuan's young and handsome face, and Cai Yinong was a little dazed.

Wu Yuan's achievements were so high that Cai Yinong didn't treat him as a young man when he chatted with him.

But the fact is that he is a young man, and Wu Yuan understands everything that young people play and understand, even better than Cai Yinong.

With some complicated emotions on his face, Cai Yinong nodded: "Yes, among young people, the popularity of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is particularly high. ”

"I believe that if it is adapted into a TV series, it will definitely attract many young people to watch it."

"If the actors choose a group of handsome men and beautiful women, maybe we can open up a costume idol drama, or a road to Xianxia idol drama, in addition to urban idol dramas."

I have to admit that in the production of TV dramas, Cai Yinong is indeed very discerning.

Wu Yuan echoed very approvingly: "Mr. Cai's idea is very good, I know that you Tang people mainly focus on high-quality film and television dramas, and if you want to shoot this Xianxia-themed TV series, you will spend a lot of money, right?" ”

"I understand what you mean, since the cooperation agreement has been signed, then our Light and Shadow Era will definitely fulfill it."

"This "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", we voted in the light and shadow era, but our company will also send someone to follow up on the specific shooting budget."

"Of course." Cai Yinong agreed, of course.

Since the age of light and shadow needs to invest, it must be comprehensively followed up on the budget formulation and production, otherwise how can we know how much money will be spent and where the money will be spent.

Seeing that Wu Yuan agreed to vote for this drama, Cai Yinong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his tone became relaxed: "I also have ideas for the starring role of this TV series." ”

"Most of the company's senior management think that we should continue to invite first-line actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan to act, but I still want to use the company's own actors."

Facing Wu Yuan, Cai Yinong said frankly and bluntly: "Since Tang Ren wants to do actor brokerage business, the TV series produced by himself should give priority to the actors under the company." ”

"Whether it's Hong Kong, Taiwan or mainland film and television production companies, they're all doing this now."

"Zhou Yi is also cultivating actors who have signed his own contracts, not to mention large companies such as Huayi that make movies."

"So I plan to let Hu Ge play the actor Li Xiaoyao, Yuan Hong play Tang Yu Xiaobao, and Sun Li play Queen Nanzhao."

The strength of this praising is okay, Wu Yuan raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

In the protagonist of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" in the dream, Tang Yu Xiaobao was not played by Yuan Hong, but Peng Yuyan, who later became synonymous with a male character.

Perhaps because of his own involvement, Cai Yinong was more confident and the company's top management called for it, and he used the main actors as his own artists?

Could it be that on the original trajectory, when the Tang people filmed "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", Taiwanese capital was introduced?

Tang Ren's own family, shouldn't be able to spend tens of millions to shoot this TV series, right?

It is definitely necessary to introduce other investors to co-produce and share the risk, and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is a game produced on Taiwan Island, and there must be Taiwan Island Capital who is optimistic about this adapted TV series and is willing to invest in production.

Now that this Taiwanese capital has become an era of light and shadow, everything has changed, and Wu Yuan is not a Taiwanese capitalist, so he will not ask Cai Yinong to use Taiwanese actors.

Then she must give priority to her own actors!

After figuring this out, Wu Yuan said with a smile: "In principle, I have no objection, anyway, we don't sign actors in the light and shadow era, and which actors are used in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" are the same for me." ”

"As long as these actors can play the role and can play this TV series well, they can use anyone."

Although Wu Yuan's words were light, Cai Yinong felt the severity in her words, and she nodded with a serious expression: "Director Wu, don't worry, if they are really inappropriate, I will definitely change actors." ”

"A TV series with an investment of tens of millions must be cautious, I will not force them to drag this TV series back because I want to praise its actors."

"The opportunity is given, if I really can't help it, then I will give up decisively."

In order to show his attitude, Cai Yinong couldn't help but speak louder, so that Hu Ge and Yuan Hong, who were sitting in the corner of the audition room, also heard these words.

The two of them finally relaxed a little, and they were picked up again.

What does Sister KK mean by this?

Give up if it's not suitable?

We haven't started the audition yet, and we're going to be abandoned?

Wu Yuan glanced at the two of them with some amusement, motioned for them to continue studying the script, and then said to Cai Yinong: "Okay, I'm relieved if you know this." ”

"But your company doesn't have an actor suitable for the heroine, who are you going to find to play the heroine?"

Wu Yuan thought about whether to introduce Liu Yifei to Cai Yinong, after all, she was originally the heroine of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", and the role of Zhao Linger is still very important to her, and she can even be called the white moonlight of a generation.

If this is because of the intervention of the light and shadow era, the role of Liu Yifei is gone, it will not be very good.

As a result, I didn't expect Cai Yinong to say first: "I saw a little girl in the reception room just now, and I feel that her image is very suitable for Zhao Ling'er." ”

"And I asked her, she also acted in Zhang Jizhong's version of "Dragon Babu", in which she played Wang Yuyan."

"Since she can play the fairy sister, I feel that it will be very suitable to play the fairy sister."

Have an eye!

Wu Yuan smiled: "You're talking about Liu Yifei, she is indeed suitable for the role of Zhao Ling'er." ”

"I'll tell you the truth, she's also the pre-heroine of my movie."

Wu Yuan personally trained Liu Yifei for a few months, although he didn't dare to say that he could train her into an acting star at once, but acting in a youth movie should be no problem.

Even if the heroine needs to be reversed, playing a contrasting character who looks like a girl on the outside but is a boy in fact, Wu Yuan believes that Liu Yifei can also grasp it.

As he got to know her more and more, Wu Yuan had already seen that this girl usually looked very quiet, but in fact, she was hiding a big tomboy in her heart.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have said that she was a dick and a female nerve in her life.

Let him play the role of the reverse string, it is purely liberating his nature, and he may be able to produce unexpected results!

"She's a pre-heroine?" Cai Yinong's eyes lit up!

If Wu Yuan's new movie finally chooses Hu Ge and Liu Yifei to play the male and female leads, with the blessing of this movie, and they will ride "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" again, then this TV series still needs to be sold?

Cai Yinong looked expectantly at Hu Ge, who was looking at the script and meditating, you kid have to fight for breath!

Wu Yuan's gaze also moved to Hu Ge and Yuan Hong, and asked aloud, "Are you two ready?" ”

Hu Ge wanted to say that he was not ready, but in the face of Wu Yuan's gaze, he could only nod stubbornly: "Ready!" ”

Seeing that her partner said so, Yuan Hong had no choice but to nod: "I'm ready too." ”

"Okay, then you two can try the play first and see the effect."

Cai Yinong took a few steps back and gave up the space to them.

Hu Ge and Yuan Hong glanced at each other, and they didn't think the ground was dirty, so they sat on the ground with a plop.

However, the two sat in completely different positions.

Yuan Hong sat down cross-legged like a very ordinary person, but Hu Ge was like a girl, with her legs together, on one side, only half of her butt was next to the floor, and she covered her legs with her hands.

Although he was wearing a pair of jeans, it was the kind of posture that a girl sits in a short skirt.

Just such an action, Wu Yuan nodded secretly.

This kid's comprehension is still okay.

In the script for Hu Ge, Wu Yuan did not write a specific sitting posture, but only wrote that the male protagonist Lin Wenjie and the female protagonist Luo Sanye exchanged souls at the moment.

Hu Ge was able to design such a feminine action detail by himself, which shows that he does have a bit of spirituality.

After both of them sat down, they looked at each other again, and the play began.

"I said, how can you get lost when you come to school?" Yuan Hong patted Hu Ge's shoulder with a smile, and his expression and tone were full of ridicule.

A trace of panic flashed on Hu Ge's face, and he subconsciously shook off his shoulders, shook off Yuan Hong's hand, touched a few strands of long hair on his sideburns with one hand, rubbed the corner of his shirt with the other hand, and muttered in a panic: "That. People"

"People?" Yuan Hong interrupted him in surprise.

"No, me!" Hu Ge hurriedly changed his words and said: "I'm so happy, everywhere in the capital is as lively as a festival, the road is full of cars and pedestrians, I am dazzled."

Yuan Hong didn't listen carefully to what Hu Ge said, but looked him up and down.

When Hu Ge's voice became smaller and smaller, he interrupted: "What about Jay Chou's new album I asked you to bring?" ”

"Huh?" Hu Ge's expression became flustered again, and he subconsciously took out his pocket, but he didn't take out anything, so he had to smile and apologize with his hands folded: "I'm sorry. I forgot. ”

And this is exactly the effect that Wu Yuan wants, he raised the corners of his mouth in satisfaction.

Generally, boys, especially high school students, and good brothers, will never panic and be embarrassed when they encounter this situation, and will only say "I didn't bring it!" And it passed.

If you don't bring it, you don't bring it, what's so sorry for this little thing.

It's only between girls that they're embarrassed and sorry for not doing this.

Girls pay more attention to this kind of detail, unlike big boys with rough nerves.

Sure enough, Yuan Hong saw Hu Ge apologize so seriously, showing a very unaccustomed expression, and trembled a little evilly, "Forget it, forget it, what's there to apologize for." ”

"Remember to bring it tomorrow!"

"Let's listen to me first, I brought Stefanie Sun's new album! It's so good! ”

"By the way, do you want to go to the café after school, the newly opened one in Houhai."

"What? Cafe?! Hugo gives a good picture of how a girl looks when she hears something of interest.

He leaned to the right and leaned over to Yuan Hong, his eyes lit up, and he nodded his head up and down excitedly: "Go!" ”

Wu Yuan can see it, Hu Ge, this kid can!

No wonder he acted so well when he played Zixuan in "Sword and Fairy III".

This kid won't figure out how to play a woman when he has nothing to do in private, right?

Or is there a special class in the play to teach students how to play the role of the anti-string?

Whatever the reason, Hugo's performance is very good anyway.

Wu Yuan smiled at Cai Yinong.

"Good performance, that's it!"

Five thousand words.
