Diamond company shoots commercials, you shoot Titanic

Over at the Capital Art Theatre, auditions continued.

It was almost ten o'clock, and all three roles had been confirmed.

After seeing off the veteran actors, the crew moved to the casting room on the second floor and began auditioning the actors one by one.

This morning, the candidates for Duan Xiaolou, Cheng Dieyi, and Juxian also needed to be confirmed.

Chen Xiao put the documents on his seat and glanced at the clock on the wall.

Duan Xiaolou's audition will begin in 10 minutes.

Take a break. Knock, knock!

The assistant director knocked on the door and walked in, whispering,"Director Chen, Teacher Jiang Wen is also in the theater today. I don't know which veteran actor saw the script, and he really wants to audition for the leading role."

"Jiang Wen? The one who is both a director and an actor?"

"Yes."

Chen Xiao touched his chin.

He is over 1.8 meters tall, so he can play Duan Xiaolou.

His temperament is also suitable.

Since he really wants it, then give him a chance.

""Okay, I'll arrange an audition for him later, but we have to follow the first come first served rule. He will audition Duan Xiaolou last."

After saying that, Chen Xiao turned around and continued to look at the actor's information in his hand.

"Director Chen��…"

"Hmm? Anything else?" Chen Xiao didn't look up and continued to look at the information.

The assistant stammered,"The person that Teacher Jiang wants to audition is... Cheng Dieyi."

Chen Xiao paused while flipping through the documents, frowned and looked at the assistant,"Who?"

"Cheng Dieyi."

Chen Xiao:"……"

A 5-foot-tall man plays Cheng Dieyi?

Wouldn't that be... on the stage.

Overlord: Yu Ji, do you regret it?

After putting on her costume, Yu Ji, who is 5-foot-tall, said: My king, just wait and see, I will charge out and capture that little Liu Bang alive!

What is Farewell My Concubine? Just swing the knife back.

Chen Xiao shook his head, trying to get rid of the mess.

But immediately another scene popped up in his mind.

Backstage of the theater.

Cheng Dieyi, who is over 5-foot-tall, hugged the back of the stool, looked down at Duan Xiaolou and said:"No, it's a lifetime. If it's a year, a month, a day, or an hour less, it's not a lifetime."

Crack...

Chen Xiao covered his forehead with his right hand and waved his left hand quickly

"Refuse, reject him immediately. Let him give up on this idea!"

"OK, I'll reply to him right away." The assistant nodded, and just after taking two steps, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

He took out his phone, looked at it, turned around and smiled bitterly,"Director Chen, Teacher Jiang sent the makeup photos."

""No!"

Chen Xiao refused decisively.

He didn't even need to look at the photo to know that it was definitely out of the Three Realms and not in the Five Elements.

Chen Xiao sighed and added:"Notify the casting director and have them come over. The audition will start in five minutes."

"OK"

……

The audition for the lead role went smoothly.

Two hours later, the list of adult leading actors was released.

Cheng Dieyi: Zhang Guorong

Duan Xiaolou: Zhang Fengyi

Juxian: Gong Li After finalizing the list, Chen Xiao, Fang Rong and others finished their morning work and sat together to eat lunch boxes.

Everyone ate and chatted.

Chen Xiao swallowed a mouthful of fish and asked,"Director Fang, how are the preparations for the training going?"

The training will start on the 27th, the day after tomorrow.

Most of the cast members have a foundation in drama.

The main content of the training is to interpret history and understand the roles to help the actors get into the play.

Then let the actors practice the opera that will be used in the film.

Fang Rong took a sip of water and sighed,"It's basically done. The history professor and drama expert have been contacted. But there is a small problem. The falling state of"The Drunken Concubine" in the storyboard script is quite beautiful, but how to combine it with opera, make it look good and beautiful, is a problem."

He was troubled by this matter for several days and consulted three opera masters, but he didn't find a very suitable solution.

Chen Xiao was silent for a moment.

This matter cannot be explained in a few words.

You have to demonstrate it yourself.

"Leave this to me, you can do other things first."

Fang Rong nodded. He muttered to himself ,

"Shoot a segment of Shu Guangxiu's dancing, and a segment of lying fish, and edit them together?

As a director, this is probably the only solution I can come up with.

……

After lunch, the crew continued the audition.

Time soon came to four o'clock in the afternoon.

In the casting room.

A young girl in her twenties, with a pink flower pinned behind her head, sat sideways and threw a wink at Chen Xiao.

"As long as you accept him, anything is fine. Please don't look down on us."

After saying that, he slid from the stool to the ground and stared at Chen Xiao like a fox.

Chen Xiao had a blank expression on his face, and tried hard to suppress the urge to roll his eyes.

What are they playing?

They were asked to play oppressed prostitutes at the bottom of society, but they turned them into vixens.

And they all had to throw it at him, which was really annoying.

Can't they throw it at other directors?

Crack.

The casting director said as a routine procedure:"OK, No. 4, you can go out."

The girl stood up, turned around and left with a smile on her face.

She was the beauty of the Performance Department of the Capital Film Academy. She spent another three days learning the performance methods of brothel girls from the popular TV series.

This role must be hers!

She left the casting room and was about to close the door when she suddenly heard the sound of conversation in the room.

"Director Chen, number 4 is pretty good, right?"

"No, she is the least suitable among the four people, No. 2……"

The girl was startled.

The most unsuitable? ? ?

She spent three whole days researching performance methods.

It was only five days after the notice!

How could others be better than her?

Did they use a backdoor?

She has a good family background, who would use a backdoor to get to her?

The girl felt her blood boiling. When she thought of Chen Xiao's face, who was about the same age as her, she instantly became bolder and pushed open the door.

"Director Chen, I'm sorry that you said I'm the least suitable. Could you please give me some detailed comments? I'd like to reflect on this and make progress in the future. Please give me some advice."

Chen Xiao glanced at her and turned to look at the assistant,"Please invite the other three in."

Then he looked at the girl again,"Actor, please wait a moment."

He called four people in, not because number four asked him to comment.

These four actors were selected by him personally, and among the many actors in their early twenties, they were the most suitable four. They have classical looks, round faces, big eyes, and acceptable acting skills.

Unfortunately, the four people had deviations in their understanding of the roles, resulting in none of the performances being up to par.

So, he wanted to briefly explain the play to the four people and let them perform it again.

Soon, the four people stood in a row side by side.

Chen Xiao's face was calm, and his eyes swept over the four people

"Everyone has some problems understanding this role. Let me explain it to you again, and then we can recast it."

The four of them nodded,"Okay, thank you Director Chen."

Chen Xiao pointed to the script on the table with a pen and explained:

"Yanhong is a prostitute and a mother. You can all see this."

"But when you perform, there are two problems"

"First, the role was split. In the first half, she played the bitter mother, and in the second half, she played the prostitute."

"The second, and most serious, problem is that you are not playing a prostitute, but a vixen, a Daji."
