The casting selection for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has been aroused in the world.
Ever since Shunli Entertainment announced the project of this drama, there have been rumors about what roles this drama will have for the actors to share.
The actors who have schedules at the beginning of the year all value this drama very seriously.
Chen Manman, one of the four little flowers born in the 2000s in China.
She was sitting in the car, and her agent handed her the information and said: "This time the film is directed by Qian Sansui and screenwriter Qi Ji. These two people should be from the two previous films "The Silent Truth" and "The Beginning"
They all collaborated very happily, so as soon as the first part was completed, the second part was started immediately.”
What the agent is holding in his hand is some information and introduction about "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" sent over by Qian Sansui.
After Qian Sansui read the script, he mentally reviewed some of the actors he was familiar with in the entire circle.
Then I felt that Chen Manman might be more suitable for the quirky role of Huang Rong, so I had someone send me an audition invitation.
But there was only an invitation and a brief description of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", but no complete script.
Chen Manman is one of the four most popular celebrities born in the 2000s, and her popularity is very high.
There were quite a few notebooks handed to her at ordinary times.
This was the first time since she became popular that she was invited to audition, but she didn't see the complete script.
So she asked her agent: "Sister, does the audition time conflict with my schedule?"
The manager nodded and said, "Yes. The recording of the variety show "Big Player" with you in Zhejiang Province has completely coincided with the schedule."
Chen Manman: "Sister, do you think we should still go to this audition?"
"Actually, you will have two urban dramas next year... Moreover, this is Qian Sansui's martial arts film... Although he is the master of martial arts films, his last two martial arts films were terrible."
After hearing what her agent said, Chen Manman also made up her mind.
It's just an audition without a script.
If I, Chen Manman, were still a newbie actor, and I met such a great director, I would definitely be attached to him.
But now... forget it, it's still good to show off on a national variety show with high ratings in Zhejiang Province.
You can easily play the game for two days and get a lot of appearance fees.
Why do you work so hard on filming?
Isn't it just money?
Qian Sansui personally issued more than 20 audition invitations.
And there are only three people like Chen Manman who didn't come.
Most of the actors are looking forward to the director and screenwriter combination of Qi Ji and Qian Sansui.
Smooth entertainment downstairs.
There were a lot of paparazzi today, and everyone barely dared to blink as they kept taking pictures of the celebrities who came into Shunli Entertainment.
"Is that Jin Ning, one of the Four Little Flowers?"
"Is that Feng Muyu? This girl seems to have just finished filming a costume drama!"
"The audition was successfully entertained today, the battle was a bit big!"
"Qi Ji is here too? Shoot him quickly! This kid hasn't shown his face for a long time!"
"Nonsense! I am the screenwriter of today's drama. Can you not come?"
The paparazzi stayed far away and did not come over for interviews except for filming.
This is the tacit agreement they have reached with Shunli Entertainment.
Smooth Entertainment needs the popularity generated after the photos they took are spread.
This is to build momentum for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
But we can't let the paparazzi disturb today's audition.
Therefore, the scene at this moment is the result of the tacit understanding and balance between the two parties.
On the third floor of Shunli Entertainment, Qi Ji walked around the corner and saw many actors and their assistants standing in the long corridor.
Seeing Qi Ji appear, everyone had a smile on their faces.
Although Qi Ji is younger than many people present.
But all the actors present knew it.
Qi Ji is the screenwriter of today's drama. Qian Sansui will refer to Qi Ji's opinions when choosing many roles.
"Teacher Qi Ji! Long time no see!"
"Our screenwriter from Qi University is here!"
The actors who greeted Qi Ji first were all familiar to Qi Ji.
Everyone has collaborated in "Singing to Travel the World".
Qi Ji walked inside while joking with everyone.
Then there are some actors who are meeting for the first time.
"Teacher Qi, please take care of me later!"
"I can't take care of you, I'm a junior! Everything we do today is based on the role that suits us!"
"Teacher Qi Ji! I finally met a real person! He is much more handsome than on TV! I really like listening to your songs. When will the new album be released!"
"Let's talk about it next year, haha!"
Everyone was relatively polite to Qi Ji.
However, ordinary screenwriters cannot enjoy such treatment as Qi Ji.
But after all, Qi Ji is very popular now, and everyone greets her with a smile, so there is no harm in it.
There is no telling who Qi Ji will be suitable for the TV series version of "Five Thousand Years of China" in the future.
Qi Ji walked to the very back.
There is a room here, and five contracted actors from Shunli Entertainment are waiting in this separate room.
Including Feng Muyu was also there.
Seeing Qi Ji, she jumped up happily and waved to Qi Ji.
Qi Ji nodded slightly.
In today's audition, after all, my identity is here, so I don't want to talk to Feng Muyu anymore.
Qi Ji looked around again and saw no sign of his roommate, Meng Liang.
He took out his cell phone and found Meng Liang's number.
I was planning on dialing it.
But after thinking about it, I chose to send a message.
"Lao Meng, the audition for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is about to begin. Where are you?"
After sending the message, Qi Ji didn't care whether Meng Liang replied or not.
He walked straight into the room where Qian was three years old.
Wait until Qi Ji walks into the real interview room.
The actors outside started whispering to the people around them.
"Qi Ji himself is indeed handsome!"
"Give me a dozen boys like this!"
"I really can't tell that "Three Kingdoms" was actually written by him!"
"Today we don't know how to compete with actors who can entertain us smoothly?"
"Your speculation is completely redundant! Since Smooth Entertainment invites everyone to audition, you must have chosen the right one!"
Auditions started soon.
Because there were about 30 actors and actresses present today.
And before the invitation, Qian Sansui positioned them as at least among the top five actors.
Therefore, for the on-site audition, everyone took their number and entered the audition directly in the order in which they arrived.
The first one to come in.
He is a tall and tall actor who wears simple clothes, long sleeves and long trousers.
But as soon as he took off his jacket, his bulging chest muscles could be seen.
It can be seen that he is usually a person who likes to exercise.
However, as an artist, body management is actually a task that must be done on a daily basis.
No audience wants to see a fat, fat person wandering around the screen.
This actor is called Tao Jian and he has been in the industry for five years.
I have filmed a lot of movies.
But the real role of the male protagonist in the drama was Zero, a late-revision drama last year.
This made him a little angry.
Qian Sansui looked at Tao Jian's information, frowned slightly, and said, "Am I poking fun at Maifuju?"
There were nearly 30 actors on site, and Tao Jian was one of the few actors who had not been personally reviewed by Qian Sansui, but was sent over by some partners or connections.
After seeing Tao Jian's information, Qian Sansui immediately thought of Peng Daren, the leading actor in the previous film.
He also comes from a dangai drama background.
Qi Ji said in a low voice: "Director Qian, the market is currently dominated by women, and the online broadcast data of Dangai drama is very good... Let's take a look first, maybe it's another Teacher Peng!"
This actor Qi Ji knew that he was indeed an actor recruited by a partner of Shunli Entertainment.
This kind of thing is very common in the entertainment industry.
The resources in everyone's hands can be exchanged.
Moreover, the capital requirements behind Tao Jian are not excessive. He just came here to get an audition opportunity.
Is it possible not to give this?
Of course Qian Sansui also understands this truth.
He stopped complaining to Qi Ji, then looked at Tao Jian and asked: "Hello Tao Jian, which role do you want to audition for?"
One week before today's official audition, all actors received brief introductions to the drama "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
Therefore, the actors auditioning today all know the identities and personalities of the main characters in the plot.
Tao Jian stood in front of everyone and said seriously: "The role I want to audition for is Guo Jing."
Qi Ji said: "You want to audition for our male lead, don't tell me, your image of a tall and powerful person is quite suitable!"
Qi Ji simply praised him.
Then the assistant handed Tao Jian a line belonging to Guo Jing.
After more than ten minutes, the big brother's performance somewhat disappointed Qi Ji and Qian Sansui.
"What does our screenwriting teacher think?" Qian Sansui held the information in his hand and asked Qi Ji next to him in a low voice.
Qi Ji: "It's a bit different from the Guo Jing I imagined."
The two men conspired in public.
Tao Jian looked at the two people nervously, but couldn't hear clearly what Qi Ji and Qian Sansui were talking about.
"I'm sorry, let's work together again next time!" Qian Sansui rejected Tao Jian straight to the point.
A look of disappointment suddenly appeared on his face, but he didn't say anything more. He bowed to everyone seriously and then went out.
It seems to be quite qualified.
"How's it going? Lao Tao!? Which role are you auditioning for?"
"What? Director Qian refused directly in front of everyone?! Oh my god!"
"The results are really being announced in public! Why didn't Director Qian follow the procedures!? You can just tell me to go back and wait for the results!"
When they learned that the results would be announced on the spot, some of the waiting actors, especially the actresses, immediately became very nervous.
I interviewed several actors, and they all aimed for the leading male role and the leading female role, but Qian Sansui was not very satisfied.
There was only one actor who interviewed Ouyang Ke, Qian Sansui, who thought he was good, and he immediately settled on the role.
Qi Ji originally recommended Meng Liang to try this role.
But Qi Ji looked at his cell phone and saw that Meng Liang had not replied to his message.
Qi Ji shook his head silently, and he did not want to think too much about his roommate's thoughts.
If you don't want to, then don't want to.
soon.
Feng Muyu opened the door and came in.
Everyone is an old acquaintance, and she is smiling.
"Director Qi, Director Qian!" She bowed to everyone seriously.
Seriously, he looks like someone wearing a film under an overpass.
Qian Sansui also said with a smile: "Xiao Feng, we are all acquaintances, don't be so reserved, your childhood sweetheart is here, what are you afraid of! Gao Lu must bring a character back today!"
Qi Ji also said: "Which role do you want? Just pick it!"
The scene immediately became relaxed and the air was filled with a happy atmosphere.
"I want to try the role of Huang Rong."
Qi Ji: "You are also here for our heroine!"
Qian Sansui: "The role of Huang Rong, so to speak, is the heroine with the best personality that I have ever seen since I have filmed so many martial arts dramas. I can say that, whoever plays this role will be popular!
"
Because we have a good cooperative relationship with the previous "The Beginning".
Qian Sansui is more sympathetic to Feng Muyu.
So the words spoken at this moment were obviously much more than when some of the actresses came in just now.
Hearing Qian Sansui's words, Qi Ji nodded secretly.
Qian Sansui is indeed Qian Sansui.
As expected of the legendary Qian Sansui, who has made nearly thirty martial arts films.
His sensitivity to martial arts scripts is indeed very high.
On earth, Jin Yong's dramas have always been called "popular masterpieces".
Because many actors and actresses who became popular later were born in Jin Yong dramas.
Moreover, Jin Yong's drama has directly become the masterpiece of their lives.
Qi Ji is aware of the power of Jin Yong's drama.
So he also hopes that Lao Feng can get this role with his own strength.
In fact, for this drama, if Qi Ji opened his mouth, Lao Feng would be directly chosen as the heroine.
Qian is three years old and probably won't be able to say anything.
But Feng Muyu herself may feel uncomfortable.
Qi Ji knew his childhood sweetheart.
Her heart must be strong.
The assistant handed a piece of Huang Rong's lines to Feng Muyu.
Then Qian Sansui said to Qi Ji: "Our screenwriting teacher, please do some hard work and do a scene with Xiao Feng?"
Qi Ji nodded and then stood up.
ten minutes later.
After Feng Muyu performed a scene in which Huang Rong called "Brother Jing," she did not disappoint Qi Ji.
Qian Sansui said directly: "In fact, the more suitable candidate in my mind was Chen Manman. But after I watched your performance live today, I feel that you are the best candidate for Huang Rong!"
Feng Muyu pouted slightly and said: "Director Qian, why don't you look at Chen Manman again? Maybe you are more suitable than me!"
Qian Sansui's face suddenly sank and he said, "Then I have to wait for her?"
Feng Muyu rushed up immediately, patted Qian Sansui's back with her little hands, and said with a smile: "Then no need! Let's sign the contract quickly!"
Although it is a TV series produced by my own company, I still have to sign the contract that needs to be signed.
That’s how everyone decided on Feng Muyu’s role as Huang Rong.
Qi Ji took a sip of water and suddenly noticed Qian Sansui looking at him with burning eyes.
Qi Ji took a sip of water and squirted out: "Director Qian, I am a straight man!"
Qian Sansui glanced at Qi Ji with disdain and said, "What are you thinking about? When you and Xiao Feng acted together just now, you looked really good together!"
At this moment when Qian was three years old, he felt as if Guo Jing and Huang Rong were standing in front of him!
Qi Ji currently possesses god-level acting skills.
So that's what you play.
"Director Qian, do you want me to play Guo Jing?" Qi Ji asked.
He had actually not considered this issue before.
But sitting here today, I suddenly thought that this is the first time that Master Jin's play has been presented in this world.
It's actually pretty good to star in a show by yourself.
"You are so suitable! And the sense of partnership between you and Xiao Feng doesn't need to be cultivated at all! When the drama is filmed, it will be even better!" Qian Sansui clapped the list in his hand.
In fact, he had already thought about letting Qi Ji play Guo Jing.
I saw that Qi Ji had no interest in starring before, so he never mentioned it.
But today.
After briefly watching the collaboration between Qi Ji and Feng Muyu for a few minutes.
He could no longer contain his excitement.
Qi Ji and Feng Muyu are just like Guo Jing and Huang Rong.
In his eyes at this moment, it was a match made in heaven!
Qi Ji said: "Let's take a look at the actors in the back. After all, we have invited everyone here today! If there is really no suitable candidate, then I will do it!"
The interview for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" lasted for two full days.
Indeed, there was no candidate for Guo Jing that made both Qi Ji and Qian Sansui's eyes shine.
So finally.
It was Qi Ji's turn to play this role.
Qi Ji and Feng Muyu collaborated as a screen couple for the second time.
As for the other actors who arrived, half of them also had their own roles booked.
It was a worthwhile trip for everyone.
After finishing the audition here, Qi Ji hurried to another conference room in the company.
Gao Juncai, the editor-in-chief of Paradise Novel Network, and his team have been waiting for Qi Ji for a long time.
"Oh, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting for so long!" Qi Ji said apologetically as soon as he came in.
Gao Juncai and others came here today because Netflix contacted the international station of Paradise Novel Network and wanted the film and television rights to "Lord of the Mystery".
Netflix is the largest paid video website in Europe and the United States, with very large traffic and audience.
The other party wanted the copyright of "Lord of Mysteries", which surprised Qi Ji.
"Finally we meet our humanoid code machine!" Gao Juncai shook hands with Qi Ji.
I have always seen Qi Ji on TV before.
At this moment, Gao Juncai's eyes lit up when he saw such a young, handsome, elegant and calm Qi Ji.
"At Netflix, they want full film and television rights for ten years." Gao Juncai and Qi Ji sat down and said.
Qi Ji knocked on the table and said: "This won't work. Netflix's platform is indeed very big, but I don't really believe that they can film the story well. Although the background of the story of "Secret" is set in the Victorian era in England
Yes, but the core of its story is still very oriental!"
Gao Juncai serves as the editor-in-chief of Paradise Novel Network.
Over the years, I have sold a lot of novel copyrights.
Other authors, after hearing that their novels could be sold for copyright, became more proactive than the other.
They all want to sell the copyright as soon as possible to avoid having many nightmares and no money.
Qi Ji is still the first person who dares to challenge capital directly.
But it is.
Qi Ji himself is capital.
You are the writer and director yourself, so instead of selling it to Netflix, you can shoot it yourself.
So Gao Juncai asked: "Teacher Qi Ji, what do you think?"
"I can give them the first reel first. If it goes well, we can continue later, but if it doesn't go well, forget it."
"Naifei will definitely not agree to this condition!"
Qi Ji: "Editor Gao, you probably didn't tell Netflix that I was the author of "Lord of the Mysteries", right? I mean, they don't know that this book was written by Qi Ji, right?"
Gao Juncai said: "This is natural. Your identity on my website is highly confidential!"
Gao Juncai is telling the truth.
With Qi Ji's creative ability, he casually came to heaven and wrote a book "Lord of Mysteries", which immediately became the ceiling of Internet literature.
Although he doesn't write anymore.
But such a big boss must still be provided.
What's more, Qi Ji still has a considerable status in China's entertainment industry.
For such a person to be able to write novels on Paradise Novel Network, that is a great thing!
Qi Ji said: "You can tell Netflix that I am approaching the copyright of this book."
"ah?"
"My movie "Saw" did well abroad. You can just emphasize this matter."
At this moment, Gao Juncai understood immediately.
The film and TV version of "The Secret" is a must.
but.
As a result, Qi Ji couldn't get out of his way and had no time to film the movie.
Secondly, the current domestic special effects are completely unable to meet Qi Ji’s requirements.
When I think of special effects.
Many things Qi Ji wants to do in the future will require special effects.
This is really a tricky thing!
The matter was settled with Gao Juncai happily.
Whether Netflix will buy "Lord of the Mysteries" depends on the relationship between Paradise and them.
The next day, Qi Ji flew to Shangjing.
At this time, the Spring Festival is only a week away.
After participating in another Spring Festival Gala rehearsal, Qi Ji met screenwriter Qing Teng in a mutton shop in Beijing.
Qingteng is a middle-aged man in his forties.
Bald and fat.
He doesn't look like much.
But the script is really well written.
For example, "Yue Fei", the script he wrote was very satisfying to Qi Ji.
Also present were Gu Pingting and Qingteng's two assistants.
There were five people in total, cooking mutton together.
Qing Teng's cheeks were slightly tipsy: "Come on, brother Qi, let's go together!"
A few people ate half of it.
Qi Ji said: "Teacher Qingteng, your script is really amazing! I almost cried when I read it!"
Qingteng said: "Your story is still well written! I just added a few chopsticks to your skeleton!"
The two complimented each other a lot.
Then the topic fell on who to invite to film this drama.
Qingteng recommended several directors, but Qi Ji was not very satisfied with any of them.
at last.
Qing Teng raised a finger and said: "Brother Qi, weren't you at the Spring Festival Gala recently... The director of the Spring Festival Gala is one of the most awesome people in China!"
What Qing Teng was talking about was, of course, Director Su Wu.
Qi Ji also wants to invite Su Wu to film "Yue Fei". Are the key people willing to film it?
Qingteng said: "Are you satisfied with Su Wu? Don't worry, I'll give him a call!"
Qi Ji hurriedly said: "My brother, it's late at night! And Director Su must be busy with the Spring Festival Gala!"
Qi Ji felt that Qing Teng could not call Su Wu.
but.
"Hello? My dearest Director Su!"
"What the hell! Are you finally willing to call me?" This was Su Wu's voice, which was so loud that it almost pierced the phone.
"Hey hey hey! The script is written! Do you want to read it?"
"Yes! Have you really finished writing it? I have been waiting for you for several years!"
"yes!"
"Where are you? Your home?"
"No! I'll send you the address..."
Qing Teng's call shocked Qi Ji.
Is this the top screenwriter in China?
One phone call and Director Su Wuda was summoned directly?
Gu Pingting sat silently in the corner eating.
In such an occasion, she did not dare to speak.
Half an hour later.
Su Wuzhen came after a long journey.
He first scolded Qing Teng: "It's so late at night, I didn't know I was busy with the Spring Festival Gala!"
Then he saw Qi Ji and was very surprised: "Qi Ji, why are you here?"
Qingteng quickly explained: "The book I am writing today is the copyright of Qi Ji! It can be said that this book was written by Qi Ji and I!"
"Did you two write it together?" Su Wu stopped eating the mutton and picked up the script and started reading it.
He had seen Qi Ji's "Saw".
I know Qi Ji has something.
Su Wu read the script very quickly.
"A very good book!" Su Wu looked at Qingteng and said, "You never let me down!"
Su Wu immediately fell in love with this book.
When Qi Ji heard this, he didn't feel flattered.
I just think that "Yue Fei" should be directed by a great director like Su Wu!
This cooperation was very pleasant.
The movie "Yue Fei" was just put on the schedule.
The producers are naturally Shunli Entertainment and Su Wu's studio.
As for the small matters like the contract behind this matter, just let Meng Feichen lead the people to talk to Su Wu Studio.
Spring Festival evening.
Qi Ji's hometown.
The entire Lao Qi family sat at three full tables.
There was a lot of laughter and laughter here.
And the TV is on.
Qi Ji was accompanied by a group of passionate dancers.
Sing the song "Man Jiang Hong" seriously.
At this time, the night sky is filled with stars.
Brilliant fireworks rushed into the sky and exploded.
The splendor is both momentary and eternal.
Just like the prosperity of the prosperous age, the clouds and smoke pass by.
Qi Ji appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala for the first time.
In front of the people of the whole country, he made his appearance.
