Diamond company shoots commercials, you shoot Titanic

Casting director Huang Peng had just finished his takeaway and threw away the lunch box, thinking of having a thrilling electronic cricket fight.

He picked up his phone and saw the screen displayed: 99+ unread emails. He almost spit out the drink in his mouth.

What the hell?

I had just finished a meal, but why are there so many emails in my work mailbox?

He clicked on them and saw that they were all audition applications from actor studios or companies.

Huang Peng was slightly stunned, and then he remembered that he seemed to have seen a news report before dinner that"Farewell My Concubine" was selected for the Venice Film Festival.

No wonder.

Huang Peng sighed, gave up the idea of cricket fighting, and quickly called Chen Xiao.

"Director Chen, I'm sorry to bother you so late. I have something to report to you.

Huang Peng told him about the audition application. Chen Xiao thought for a moment on the other side of the phone,"You ask someone to sort it out in the same way as before, and send me the names of the characters and the films. You will check and decide who will come in."

He left a copy to tell Huang Peng not to choose randomly. He did not completely delegate the power of casting.

Letting Huang Peng check is to reduce his workload.

"Okay, don't worry!" The person on the other side answered with full fighting spirit,"By the way, Director Chen, I have always been curious about a question, can I ask it?"

"you say"

"Can foreigners understand"Farewell My Concubine"?"

"I can't fully understand it."Culture and history must be explained, but emotions and character relationships can resonate."

And its acting, pictures, and photography are all top-notch.

Even if there are language and cultural barriers, it does not affect its ability to cross borders and touch people's hearts.

What's more, there are not many good movies in the world now. It

's easy to capture the hearts of foreigners.

He remembered that in the world where literature and art were more developed in the past, the Peking Opera version of"Farewell My Concubine" also moved American audiences to tears.

Speaking of Peking Opera, the popularity of Peking Opera in this world is much lower, and the Peking Opera version has rarely received attention internationally.

This time, it is estimated that Peking Opera will set off a wave of international popularity along with"Farewell My Concubine".

When Chen Xiao discussed foreign situations with the casting director, foreigners were also discussing him.

Hollywood, USA.

Near the central area, there is a spiral tower.

This is the headquarters of"City Entertainment", one of the top ten entertainment companies in Hollywood.

The morning sun shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows and sprinkles in the office of the director of the production department.

"Minister, Chen Xiao's second film has also been shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival. It seems that his strength is indeed not to be underestimated. I'm afraid our"Moonfall" will encounter a strong opponent."The secretary said quickly

"Oh? He is only 24 years old, but he already has two masterpieces. His ability is indeed good. But our"Moonfall" is not afraid of him. If we really meet him, we will give it a try."

"Indeed, our special effects and music all use top technology. He is good at real shooting. In the field of science fiction films, he is certainly not our opponent. He can't go to shoot the universe, right?"

The minister took a sip of hot coffee, looked at the news on the screen that"Farewell My Concubine" entered the Venice Film Festival, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Chen Xiao, it's really fate.

A movie they made last year also entered the main competition unit.

It's called"The Music Master".

The protagonist is a musician and a bisexual.

He has a wife and a homosexual. He combines music with his inner world to show his complex heart.

The movie praises both classical music and love.

It seems that there is no need to wait until the next movie comes out, we have to try it in advance.

He glanced at the assistant and asked,"What is"Farewell My Concubine" about?"

"Minister, the content of"Farewell My Concubine" is very similar to our"The Music Master". I almost suspect that Chen Xiao copied our subject matter! He shoots whatever we shoot!"

The minister frowned.

Plagiarism?

No, if it was plagiarism, it would be impossible for them to enter the Venice Film Festival at the same time.

He looked at the assistant,"Tell me about the content of"Farewell My Concubine""

"I watched it at three times the speed, and it was also a story about homosexuality. The protagonist also had a wife, and his junior fellow student liked him. The plot was boring and I was confused. I guess it was nominated for the film festival because of its filming techniques."

The minister touched his chin,"It's definitely not that simple to be nominated. It should be because you watched it at three times the speed and didn't understand it."

The assistant scratched his head awkwardly,"How about I find it and show it to you?"

"No, just go to the film industry exhibition and meet Chen Xiao. If he is really a talent, then spend a lot of money to dig him over."

Hollywood is the world's largest film industry center and is known as the"film capital of the world." For young directors, it is a dream stage.

As long as there is enough money and resources, he will definitely come!

However, the premise is that he must be a talent.

The minister smiled and closed the news page.

……

Domestic and foreign public opinions continued, and the crew's preparations were still going smoothly.

Soon, the time came to March 5th.

Early in the morning, the northernmost part of the film and television city was crowded with media.

They had heard from major companies that today was the casting day for"Interstellar".

So they came to wait early in the morning.

At nine o'clock in the morning, a nanny car drove into the film and television city and drove towards the set.

The reporters stared at the car door, and after two seconds they saw the Golden Rooster Award winner He Lun walk down.

Everyone screamed!

The start is a blockbuster!

Reporters rushed up with their cameras.

"Mr. Ho! What role are you auditioning for today? Are you confident you can get it?"

"Teacher He, is there anyone else who wants to audition for a role with you?"

"Would you mind telling us what the movie is about?"

A young reporter who was left behind was trying to squeeze in, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of another nanny car stopping.

But no matter who it is, does it matter if he can win the Best Actor award?

Never mind, let's squeeze in first!

At this moment, the door of the car opened and a middle-aged man got out.

The young reporter was stunned.

Vocal! Best Actor Wang of the Macau Royal Awards!

A double yolk egg so early in the morning!

He rushed over with the microphone, shouting as he ran:"Best Actor Wang, you haven't made a movie in three years. Are you here for an audition today? Which role are you auditioning for?"

With his shouts, other reporters also spotted Best Actor Wang, and the reporters outside immediately rushed over.

"Mr. Wang, you and Mr. He are here together to audition for the same role?"

"Who do you think can win the fight between the two of you?"

But it's not over yet, another nanny car stops.

……

After two hours, there were almost no cars coming in or out.

The media slumped in the chairs nearby, rubbing their throats that were almost hoarse from shouting.

Everyone's eyes were filled with disbelief.

It was only two hours, and there were no less than 10 best actor and actress winners from the three major Chinese awards - the Golden Horse Awards, the Hong Kong Film Awards, and the Golden Rooster Awards!

And the crew had two days of auditions, and it was estimated that more big names would come later.

How could this be a casting scene?

It was simply a team building for best actor and actress!
