Under normal circumstances, the nicknames of debut artists or celebrities from all walks of life on Xinlang Weiyu are their real names, and the personal space page of the corresponding celebrity can be found by searching.
Chu Xuan opened Weiyu and entered [Zhang Meng] in the search box.
In an instant, the fuzzy query script technology provided options for multiple users named Zhang Meng in the drop-down list of the search box.
"The first one is." Jiang Xin looked at the profile picture and pointed.
Chu Xuan moved the mouse and clicked on the first option, and the browser jumped to Zhang Meng's personal space page.
"That's her." Su Chang confirmed the big picture in the upper left corner.
"Look at her personal photo album." Liu Yifei bent over slightly, resting her left hand on Chu Xuan's email, and moved her face closer to the computer to read.
Chu Xuan complied, and Zhang Meng's personal photo album was opened.
Photos of daily life and art came into everyone's eyes. Su Chang and Jiang Xin's eyes were filled with admiration for those beautiful and innocent faces.
"Okay, my personality fits well with Baguio." Jiang Xin agreed.
"Yes, but when it comes to costumes, lifestyle photos and artistic photos, it's still hard to imagine." Su Chang nodded.
Liu Yifei blinked, put her hands behind Chu Xuan's neck, and put her head on top of his head.
"More suitable for Baguio than the actors in the email, don't you think?"
Chu Xuan looked at the photos on the screen and nodded.
"Who wants to play Baguio?" Su Chang was curious.
"Yang Mi, An Yixuan, Zhang Junling, Wang Xiaochen, Tang Yan, Yang Ying..." Liu Yifei said as she thought.
"I don't know many people." Jiang Xin shook his head.
Su Chang blinked twice, thought for a moment and said, "Then Zhang Meng is the one who is more suitable."
Chu Xuan took the mouse to exit the personal album page, clicked on the personal information page, and found the business contact information.
Liu Yifei released her hold on Chu Xuan's neck, stood up, took a pen and paper and wrote down her contact information.
After she put down the pen and paper, Chu Xuan entered another unfamiliar name in the search box on the Weiyu homepage, which attracted her attention.
"Huang Xuan?" She put her left hand on Chu Xuan's shoulder.
Su Chang and Jiang Xin also looked curiously.
Chu Xuan clicked on Huang Xuan's personal page.
"Musical Theater Department of Beijing Dance Academy?" Su Chang raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Musical actor? For me, this is a very elegant profession." Jiang Xin said.
Liu Yifei moved her eyes a few times, then moved the hand that was on Chu Xuan's right shoulder to Chu Xuan's left shoulder, and touched the left side of Chu Xuan's face.
"Do you want him to play Zhang Xiaofan?" she asked, looking at the screen intently.
"Let's take a look first." Chu Xuan opened Huang Xuan's personal photo album.
Under everyone's gaze, the personal photo album only contains some photos of school stage performances. Obviously, this Huang Xuan has not made his debut yet, and he is just a student at the moment.
Jiang Xin stretched out her right hand to lift the hair from her right ear and said: "A pure newcomer is not very handsome, but he has a certain temperament."
Su Chang nodded and said: "Every musical actor has a temperament, which is developed on the stage."
Liu Yifei tilted her head slightly, while looking at Huang Xuan's stage photo, she frowned and thought about the compatibility between Huang Xuan and Zhang Xiaofan.
Chu Xuan flipped through the photos with the mouse and said while looking: "Compared to Lin Jingyu, Zeng Shushu, Qi Hao, Xiao Yicai and others, Zhang Xiaofan looks ordinary, but Gui Li is not ordinary. The changes before and after are equivalent to one person's points.
Playing two roles is very difficult for a young actor. We have looked at the information of so many young actors in the industry these days, but none of them are suitable."
Liu Yifei nodded.
Chu Xuan added: "But there is a way, that is, the actor's face is ordinary but his temperament is extraordinary. When the acting skills are insufficient, use makeup and ordinary clothes to suppress the temperament when playing Zhang Xiaofan, and change the makeup when playing Gui Li
Bringing out your temperament through clothing and clothing may achieve the effect of a big change.”
"That's what many directors do." Su Chang agreed.
"The actor's temperament can be changed through makeup and costumes," she added.
"But the core point still depends on acting skills. The so-called temperament is determined by walking posture, body shape, eyes and facial expressions." Jiang Xin said.
Chu Xuan nodded slightly, pointed at the photo on the screen, and said: "If you don't have enough acting skills, you can learn from them, but at least there is one thing. Putting this Huang Xuan into people like Hu Ge and Peng Yuyan, based on the audience's zero recognition of Huang Xuan
You know, he is ordinary."
"Hu Ge? Peng Yuyan?" Su Chang raised his eyebrows.
"Hu Ge plays Lin Jingyu, and Peng Yuyan plays Qi Hao." Liu Yifei explained.
Su Chang and Jiang Xin nodded slightly as if they were stunned.
"In terms of appearance, compared with these two people, he is indeed ordinary." Jiang Xin said.
"That's just compared with Hu Ge and Peng Yuyan. Looking at it alone, Huang Xuan is still a bit handsome." Su Chang said.
Liu Yifei was listening to their words and thinking about it for herself. At this moment, her hand on Chu Xuan's left shoulder pinched Chu Xuan's face and said: "Then call him and Zhang Meng together, and try on them in ancient costumes."
try?"
Chu Xuan nodded, "Musical Theater Department of Beijing Dance Academy."
After hearing this, Liu Yifei took a pen and paper at the table to record it.
"How to find someone?" she asked.
"Leave it to the people in the company." Chu Xuan took the information paper she recorded, stood up and walked towards the door of the office, opened the door and walked out.
In the large office where the director team is located, Zhao Jian, Huang Lei and others are working.
Chu Xuan opened the door and walked in, said hello to them, and then turned to a cubicle.
"Mr. Chu." Several teachers in the cubicle shouted.
"I need Zhang Xiaofan, Gui Li and Baguio's clothes." Chu Xuan said concisely.
Several teachers looked at each other, and one of them lowered his eyebrows in thought.
"Mr. Chu, before the end of the month." the teacher replied.
"Okay, thank you." Chu Xuan closed the door and left, waved to Zhao Jian and the others, and walked out of the office quickly and resolutely.
The large office area is composed of various departments, and employees of each department work in specific areas.
"Mr. Chu."
"Mr. Chu..."
Chu Xuan came to the office where the marketing department is located, and the staff greeted him one after another.
"Contact two people for me. One has a phone number, one has school information, and both have accounts on Weibo. Come to the company to audition Zhang Xiaofan and Baguio on October 1st. Don't force me."
"clear."
"Achievements are considered achievements."
"Don't worry, Mr. Chu, it must be done!"
Thanks to Su Chang's casual suggestion, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei broadened their ideas for finding actors. They stepped away from being immersed in promotional emails and company materials and set their sights on the newcomer market.
The two important roles that have troubled Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei these days finally have candidates to be determined.
Judging from the photos, the character seems to fit, but whether it fits or not depends on the audition.
At this point, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei could only wait and express their expectations.
…
…
Beijing Dance Academy.
In a dance hall, a musical was finished and the lights in the hall were brightly lit.
Huang Xuan squinted his eyes due to the dazzling light, and immediately left behind the scenes with the dancers.
The classmates walked and chatted all the way, but Huang Xuan deliberately stayed away from them and walked silently on the edge.
He came to the dressing room in silence. Some classmates glanced at him and said hello to him. He just grinned imperceptibly in response.
The classmates didn't take it seriously. Maybe it was because Huang Xuan's dancing ability was mediocre and he was very introverted, so he didn't like to talk. They were also used to Huang Xuan's usual style.
After changing into ordinary clothes and leaving the dance hall, Huang Xuan frowned at the sunshine in front of him. On the way back to the dormitory, he still didn't talk to anyone, remaining as taciturn as ever.
When he was a child, his parents often quarreled, which created a life full of negative energy, which shaped his current introverted character.
When he grew up, his parents divorced, which caused him to feel alienated from his family.
Although he has now embarked on the road of learning dance because his mother is a dancer, his mediocre dancing qualifications have made his longing for a film and television actor even stronger.
"You can't do it. You're too introverted and you look like this. Who can remember you if you go to act?" My mother firmly objected.
Huang Xuan was not interested in learning an art without much talent, and he lived his campus life as if he had no goals.
His mother's opposition made him feel even more depressed.
"Just try. Your mother doesn't understand. Not all actors are good-looking and can talk. There are better introverts. The more pure ones may be more likeable." My aunt was very supportive.
This also made Huang Xuan feel a little more balanced.
But due to his mother's stubbornness in letting him learn to dance, he has never had the opportunity to try acting.
The most important thing is that he has no way out and doesn't even know how to be an extra.
"Hello, are you Huang Xuan? Do you want to act?"
Huang Xuan looked up and saw a stranger in front of him, but he was handed a business card from the Brilliant Era.
…
…
Yu Province, Zheng City.
At the train station, passengers are coming and going, and there is a huge crowd.
Xiao Wei wore a hat and walked out of the passage.
At the request of Mr. Chu, people named Huang Xuan and Zhang Meng were asked to come to audition on October 1st.
In his mind, this was a very simple matter.
He is from the marketing department, and the current popularity of "Zhu Xian" is due to him and his colleagues marketing it.
With the current popularity of "Zhu Xian", the super popularity of Mr. Chu and Producer Liu, and the star power of our brilliant era that is not inferior to that of Huayi, "Zhu Xian" also has the famous Zhang Jizhong as the director.
The protagonist Zhang Xiaofan and the important female supporting character Baguio, there will definitely be many actors who would love these two roles.
This is indeed the case. These days, many people in the company come to discuss with Mr. Chu and Producer Liu. They, the employees, also see this and feel from the side that people in the entertainment industry highly praise "Zhu Xian".
These people still come in person, so it would be easier to invite them proactively, right?
It was exactly what he thought at first. He asked the salesman below to find Huang Xuan. Huang Xuan accepted the offer immediately after seeing the business card.
Zhang Meng is currently studying at No. 16 Middle School in Zheng City, which is some distance away from the capital, so he called to contact him.
What he didn't expect was that Zhang Meng rejected Baguio's audition opportunity.
This is an active invitation, which means that the chance of passing the audition is very high.
He actually refused?
Zhang Meng gave a reason: his acting skills were insufficient and he was very sorry.
He made more than one phone call in person.
On the first phone call, he could hear Zhang Meng's surprise from Zhang Meng's tone.
On the second call, he could hear unconfidence and timidity in Zhang Meng's tone.
Zhang Meng refused the third call.
Xiao Wei was speechless.
He has followed Sister Hua for many years and has many years of experience in dealing with people from all walks of life.
He could tell that Zhang Meng was very sincere and not confident. It was not that he looked down on "Zhu Xian", but that he was worried that Baguio's performance would be a failure.
Xiao Wei is helpless. Mr. Chu and Producer Liu have personally selected you. Are you still worried about your self-confidence? What Mr. Chu and Producer Liu do is that they have great confidence in you, but you are not confident in yourself.
Xiao Wei was also convinced.
Although Mr. Chu said not to force things, the subordinates like them naturally wanted to get things done.
While there was still time, he decided to personally persuade Zhang Meng. If he was convinced, then the matter explained by Mr. Chu would be successfully completed. If he failed, there would be nothing he could do.
I took a taxi to Zheng City No. 16 Middle School. When it was time to get out of school, Xiao Wei picked up his mobile phone and made a call.
The call was answered and it was Zhang Meng's assistant and nanny who was also at the school gate.
After receiving instructions from the other party, Xiao Wei met with Assistant Zhang Meng.
"I didn't expect you to come in person." The assistant sighed.
"Zhang Meng is very suitable for Baguio." Xiao Wei said.
"She makes her own decisions on these matters, I'm just an assistant." the assistant said.
"I'll tell her later." Xiao Wei nodded.
After many inquiries and understandings, he found out that Zhang Meng's family is very wealthy, and his mother is involved in the financial industry and has made friends with many big guys from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Among them is a big shot named Wu Dun, who has made Jia Jingwen, Lin Zhiying, and Jin Chengwu famous. This person is the partner of Zhang Meng's mother and is currently Zhang Meng's godfather.
Out of doting on Zhang Meng, many things were chosen by Zhang Meng himself. Zhang Meng's mother and Wu Dun did not interfere, they just managed a good relationship and paved the way for Zhang Meng.
With such a background, he really couldn't understand why Zhang Meng was not confident?
"Auntie." Zhang Meng walked over from school and looked at Xiao Wei curiously.
"This is a person from the Brilliant Era, and it's about Baguio in "Zhu Xian"." The assistant explained.
Zhang Meng was suddenly confused and asked, "Is that you on the phone? Why did you find him in person?"
Xiao Wei said: "Hello Zhang Meng. As entrusted by the company, I sincerely invite you to go to the Bright Era for an audition. You are really suitable for Baguio."
Zhang Meng smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you for your recognition."
She shook her head again, "But with such a big crew like yours, I'm afraid that my lack of skills will delay your filming, and I also have to go to school."
Xiao Wei was stunned for a moment and said: "You can learn if you are not good enough. Do Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei know that?"
Zhang Meng nodded and said: "Big stars, I want to be like them in the future."
Xiao Wei smiled and said, "They think you are very suitable for Baguio. If you are not good enough, they will teach you."
Zhang Meng's eyes flickered, as if he was moved, but then he said: "The character Baguio is very popular on the forum, and I also know some information about this character..."
She paused and finally whispered: "Baguio is amazing, but I don't think I'm suitable for Baguio."
Xiao Wei opened his mouth and was speechless.
You're not bad looking, are you worried about this?
"I'm sorry." Zhang Meng waved his hand and got into the car with his assistant.
Xiao Wei was a little confused and helplessly watched the car drive away.
He didn't expect to be rejected in person, and he couldn't understand what this little girl was thinking.
In this situation, there was absolutely nothing he could do.
Returning to Beijing Railway Station from Zheng City, Xiao Wei walked out from the passage.
Mr. Chu's task was only half completed, and he was thinking about what to say to Mr. Chu.
"Hello." A flyer was handed to him.
Xiao Wei frowned and took it easily.
However, he looked up at the person handing out the flyers and looked at them seriously.
"Um...what's the matter?" The girl handing out the flyers blinked.
"Hello, do you want to act?" Xiao Wei suddenly said.
The girl was startled and was about to leave to avoid the lunatic in front of her, but a business card from the Brilliant Era stopped her in her tracks.
"You are from the Brilliant Era!" she said in surprise.
Xiao Wei smiled and nodded, "If you want to act, tell me your name and give me a call. Maybe you have a chance to be on TV."
The girl pursed her lips, feeling a little excited and questioning, but she still reported her name.
