Chapter 215 Fatty Wang is Difficult
As Zhou Xing spoke, he observed Lu Xun's expression. Seeing that there was no change in his expression, he felt uneasy, whether he was unhappy or unhappy.
"Have you decided on the role or the right person?" Lu Xun asked.
"That's not the case. It's up to you to decide on the specific candidates."
Lu Xun thought it was something. This kind of thing is normal. There are many actors involved in a movie, and actors from his own company are not necessarily qualified for the role. If they are not qualified, they will naturally find actors from other companies. It is normal. As long as
It's not just a matter of forcefully inserting someone into him.
But looking at this kid's appearance, it's definitely not that simple.
"Tell me, what other conditions are there?"
"Hahaha, Director Lu is a sensible person. I won't hide it from you. Someone from Tianhe Company must be in this drama, and they must have a certain role. They cannot be just passers-by."
Lu Xun frowned slightly. If he remembered correctly, he had agreed at the beginning that he would be the one to choose the candidate. This guy, he really was asked to choose, but the number of people he chose was just that.
"It's suitable, no problem. If it's not suitable, I don't want any of them." Lu Xun's expression was indifferent, and his tone was indifferent.
When it came time to choose the male lead, there was no problem. Hu Bayi chose Liu Yaoqing, who had previously played the role in "Gift from Room No. 7".
His acting skills are undoubted and his image fits the bill, making him a good choice.
The casting of the male lead went very smoothly, but when it came to the roles of Wang Kaixuan and Fatty Wang, Lu Xun was in trouble. Today's actors take good care of their bodies, and none of them match the appearance of the fat man in the original work.
When I think about the movie, people shouting "fat man, fat man's" to a thin man, it feels inappropriate.
"Besides these people, are there no other actors auditioning for this role?" Lu Xun looked through the thin interview information.
"No more." Zhou Xing said.
"In such a huge entertainment industry, you can't find a decent fat man?"
Zhou Xing was in a dilemma, "These are the fattest people we can find so far. We have sent invitations to all the actors who are strong and look fat. We have sent invitations to all of them."
It's not that Lu Xun is picky, it's that he has to be responsible for every role and can't just make do or make do with things.
"Let's look for more!" Lu Xun put Wang Kaixuan's candidates aside first, "Choose the role of Shirley Yang first."
"These are from other companies, do you think they will work? If not, let's see what roles they are suitable for." Zhou Xing placed a stack of special information in front of him.
"Um."
After several rounds of interviews, Lu Xun did not choose another company, but chose a newcomer in our company.
This newcomer's name is Song Qing.
As for the actress Tianhe hired, Lu Xun directly gave her the role of Yingzi or the female characters from the archaeological team. These characters have a lot of roles in the whole drama.
Zhou Xing saw Lu Xun's arrangement but hesitated, "Director Lu, is this okay?"
"If the other party is not satisfied, you can choose to play zongzi, which has more drama. Just ask them if they like it."
o(╯□╰)o
Director Lu, you are doing such a disservice.
The other roles were quickly decided, but the only difficult one was the fat man.
When the two of them left the studio, they happened to see lunch being served outside the studio next door, and a group of extras in shabby costumes were queuing up to receive their lunch boxes.
Suddenly, Lu Xun stopped.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Xing asked.
"What do you think about choosing one of these people?"
Zhou Xing followed his line of sight and saw a group of shabby extras.
"Director Lu, are you looking for someone in the extras? There aren't many people here who can act." Zhou Xing didn't agree.
After all, most of those with some acting skills are special actors of the labor union.
Lu Xun also worked as an extra in the past. Who said that an extra can't have acting skills? It is easier to find someone who is famous, but someone who is famous may not be suitable.
"Publish a notice to the Actors Guild that all fat people can sign up. Remember to be fat, and don't let thin people come."
After Lu Xun gave his orders, he got in the car and left.
Although Zhou Xing felt that there was little hope and that he was working in vain, he was the top leader of the crew. Naturally, he would do whatever he said.
That night, all large and small labor unions, as well as various extras groups, knew that China Entertainment Group was looking for a second male lead in the extras for the popular IP drama "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" that was about to start filming.
That’s the second male lead!
The group of performers was in a frenzy, and everyone was running around telling each other.
In an old and dilapidated rental house in Linhai City, the door was suddenly pushed open rudely. A tall and thin man hurriedly ran in and rushed directly to the bed. He ignored the person sleeping on the bed and threw the person directly.
Push awake.
"Ayuan, wake up quickly!"
The person on the bed opened his eyes tiredly, and seeing that he was a good brother, he did not get angry and said with a tired look: "Old Zhang, I haven't closed my eyes for two days in a row. If you have anything to do, wait until I wake up."
The young man named Lao Zhang didn't listen at all and insisted on waking him up. He said in an excited voice: "Don't sleep anymore. I have great news here. If you miss this time, you won't have such a good opportunity."
Wang Ningyuan was so disturbed by him that he had no choice but to sit up and ask, "What's the good news?"
"Just now, the labor union issued a notice that China Entertainment Group's upcoming big IP movie "Ghost Blowing Out the Lamp" will be casting among the extras. This is not a small role, but a role equal to that of the male lead, the second male lead.
.”
Wang Ningyuan suddenly woke up, and all the sleepy people disappeared, "Male number two? Are you sure?"
"certainly."
The joy on Wang Ningyuan's face appeared for just two seconds, but disappeared the next moment, with a dejected look on his face, "Old Zhang, if you have a chance, you can give it a try, but I have no chance. Look at my belly, I don't have any
I’m counting on it.”
Lao Zhang rolled his eyes, "I really want a figure like yours now! People's requirement is that I want fat people! I don't want thin people."
Wang Ningyuan was stunned for two seconds, then ecstatically asked, "When will the interview be held?"
"Tomorrow, it will be in area B of the studio."
…
This kind of situation is still happening among countless group performances, but all the fat people are very happy, while the thin people are beating their chests and feet.
"Why does China Entertainment only want fat people?"
"Why only men? No women?"
"Hey! No chance, I can only watch others audition."
"I wonder who can be chosen."
"The person I selected really skyrocketed."
"I used to dream a lot. I dreamed that one day there would be a big crew, and suddenly I was looking for someone to be in the extras, and then I was selected. Now the dream has really come true, but it's a pity that only the first half came true, and I didn't get to participate in the second half.
.Ugh...I'm so miserable."
For people like them who live at the bottom of the entertainment industry, this kind of opportunity to soar into the sky is really hard to come across.
Because the crew of Southern Region will not look for actors with important roles in the extras.
