Following Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei as they walked down the corridor, facing the high-end-looking decorations everywhere, Huang Xuan became even more nervous.
He glanced at Zhao Liying next to him. Zhao Liying had a tense face and looked around aimlessly. This girl who looked very caring was also a little uneasy.
The purpose ahead was unknown, but this passage seemed to be destined, so that both of them were afraid to leave.
But they were secretly excited.
Perhaps, after this trip, their lives will change.
Along the way, they saw Li Congcheng, Xia Yu, Tong Dawei, Su Chang and others, all of whom were big stars. Huang Xuan and Zhao Liying were pleasantly surprised, but they did not dare to say anything, so they just looked at them quietly.
Seeing Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei saying hello to big stars like Li Congcheng, they were sent to a dressing room.
In the dressing room, there was a group of people waiting, including chief producer Zhang Jizhong, director Zhao Jian and chief screenwriter Liu Yi.
Huang Xuan and Zhao Liying didn't know anyone, but they were familiar with Zhang Jizhong's image, but that didn't stop them from feeling that these people were big shots.
"Teachers, Zhang Xiaofan, Gui Li, Baguio, it's up to you to put on your makeup and bring them to the audition." Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei led the two in.
Huang Xuan was startled in his heart. It seemed that his idea of auditioning for a supporting role had failed. He could only audition for the leading role? Wasn't he afraid that he was not capable enough? He was very nervous for a while.
It didn't matter to Zhao Liying, as long as she had the chance to act and become a star and make money, she couldn't decide whether she would perform well or not. It all depends on the sky.
Three teams of makeup artists, hairstylists, and costume designers, together with Zhao Jian and Liu Yi, looked at Huang Xuan and Zhao Liying.
The female makeup artist with short hair smiled slightly and pointed at Zhao Liying, "She will look very good after putting on makeup."
Zhao Liying blinked, "I will look good after putting on makeup? Why didn't I know?"
"Leave it to you." Zhang Jizhong patted Liu Yi on the shoulder. He came here just to see what the newcomer Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei found looked like. Now that people have seen it, the next step is the makeup. He only watched the audition.
.
Liu Yi is the chief screenwriter of "Zhu Xian", and he has the most imagination for the specific image of each character. It is perfect that he stays in the dressing room to direct the specific appearance of the two important characters Zhang Xiaofan and Baguio.
Liu Yifei patted Zhao Liying on the shoulder, looked at Huang Xuan again, and said: "Follow the teacher's instructions, dress up and come back for the audition."
Huang Xuan was too nervous to say anything, so he just nodded.
Zhao Liying looked at Liu Yifei and said, "Does makeup cost money?"
Liu Yifei was startled.
The corners of Chu Xuan's mouth raised slightly, feeling amused.
The teachers couldn't help but laugh.
"No money, free." Liu Yifei raised her eyebrows happily and shook her head.
"Huang Xuan, Zhao Liying, come here." The makeup artist waved.
"Go." Liu Yifei patted Zhao Liying on the back.
Zhao Liying walked over first, followed by Huang Xuan.
Zhang Jizhong and Zhao Jian came over, and Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei also walked out with them.
"How do you feel when you see Zhao Liying?" Chu Xuan asked as he walked.
"If you only look at her current appearance, Zhao Liying is just a passerby. But her face shape is the same as Zhang Meng's, both are round and pure, which is in line with my preliminary image of Baguio. Teacher Gang Yang also said, dress up
It will look very good, which shows that Zhao Liying has good foundation." Liu Yifei felt about herself.
She tilted her head and looked at Chu Xuan, "When we first came in to see them, Zhao Liying dropped the bun in her mouth, and then subconsciously picked it up again. The series of actions looked very funny, and it also showed that she has an eccentric temperament. This
It is consistent with Baguio. As for the specific image, we have to wait until she is dressed up. After all, we don’t have any film and television information about Zhao Liying for reference."
Chu Xuan nodded in approval.
"Where's Huang Xuan?" he asked again, walking out of the door of the agency and heading towards the entertainment company.
Liu Yifei lowered her eyebrows and thought for a moment before walking into the entertainment company with Chu Xuan and Zhao Jian.
"Huang Xuan... the first impression is that he is not very confident and not very sunny, but in his current state, as well as his current image and temperament, I can think of Gui Li, but a little bit different from Zhang Xiaofan." She commented.
.
"Hey, Qianqian, your first impression of Huang Xuan is the same as mine." Zhao Jian smiled.
Chu Xuan walked in the corridor of the office area with his arms folded, nodding slightly as he faced the employees who greeted him one after another.
"Anyway, none of the actors recommended by email are suitable. Now that everyone is here, let's wait and see how many rounds of auditions there are." He opened the door of the large office where the director team was located.
"Let's have a look at the audition." Zhang Jizhong nodded and walked in.
Liu Yifei and Zhao Jian came in behind, closed the door, and sat down on their chairs.
"Is anyone here?" Huang Lei looked at Chu Xuan who was sitting next to him.
"Here we are, putting on makeup. Let's watch it after the audition." Chu Xuan nodded.
Liu Yifei moved her chair to make herself more comfortable.
"No matter how the audition goes, the audition invitation email will be sent out today," she said.
Zhang Jizhong lit a cigarette and walked to the window sill, "Chu Xuan, how is the situation with the crew?"
He has been busy with the editing and special effects production of "The Condor". Although he has the title of chief producer of "Zhu Xian", it is also out of his cultivation of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, and also out of his trust in Chu Xuan's abilities.
, leaving Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei to exert all the rights of producers.
As shareholders of Brilliant Times, he and Wang Jinhua are the same. Naturally, they hope that these two people will grow up quickly.
Over the past few days, except for the initial consultation and discussion with him, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei had been working hard on their own for more than a month.
Here, he only knows roughly what the current situation of "Zhu Xian" is, but not the full picture.
After hearing Zhang Jizhong's question, Chu Xuan raised his head and looked at him.
"The costume team is customizing the costumes, the makeup team, the assistant director and the screenwriting team are working on the character image, the props team has also started preparing props, and the external relations people will soon negotiate all the locations."
"As long as we distribute the list of location requirements, the transportation team will transport the props and equipment to the location according to the list, and the sponsorship can be taken care of at any time, and the life producer can lead the external liaison people to take care of various chores near the location in advance.
Just wait for the crew to pass."
Zhang Jizhong rested his right hand on the window that could only be partially opened, held a cigarette in his left hand, and turned his head to look at Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei.
"When will the demand list be ready?"
Liu Yifei raised her straight legs, put her hands on the table and supported her chin to look at Zhang Jizhong.
"Brother Liu's script was completed in three days, and then the screenwriting team began to divide the complete character plot script. Chu Xuan and I set the audition time to start on the 10th. During the audition, the production team began to make a list of location requirements based on the script.
"
"The audition is expected to take one month, and the production team will spend twenty days to compile a list of location requirements. Once the list of requirements is confirmed, the list will be sent to the external relations team. In the remaining ten days of the audition plus the period from the press conference,
The outreach team was given time to prepare the scene and follow up on the actors’ basic necessities, food, housing and transportation. They are all currently under plan, and no problems have been reported by personnel in each link.”
Zhang Jizhong nodded, gave Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei a thumbs up, and said, "Very good."
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei looked at each other and smiled.
Zhao Jian, Huang Lei and Wu Qingyuan also looked at the two of them. They saw the performance of the two during this period. They have made great progress and they are happy to see the results. This is a good thing after all. Young people who are motivated will stand up.
From the perspective of seniors, it is natural appreciation and expectation.
The audition time has been set, and the casting process has come to an end for the time being.
With nothing to do for a while, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei reviewed the scripts in the office, and chatted with the teachers from time to time about the production work.
Two hours later, the office door was pushed open, and everyone heard the sound and looked around.
Liu Yi, whose beer belly was getting worse, stood at the door and waved to everyone mysteriously, "Come and see Baguio."
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei raised their eyebrows, put down the scripts in their hands, stood up and walked towards the door.
"Go and have a look." Huang Lei looked forward to it, and he and Wen Muye walked out with Zhao Jian, Wu Qingyuan and Zhang Jizhong.
——Powdering room.
Zhao Liying changed her clothes, styled her hair, and put on makeup.
However, she stood in front of the mirror in a daze.
Looking at herself in the mirror, she felt that the makeup artist, Mr. Yang, was right. She looked really good after putting on makeup!
Huang Xuan took a break on the chair next to him. He looked sideways and observed Zhao Liying through the mirror in front of her.
He didn't know how many times he had peeked. Thinking back to the Zhao Liying two hours ago, and looking at the Zhao Liying now, there was only one feeling in his heart - magic.
The teachers nearby took a look at Zhao Liying. The reason for the change was that in addition to the clothing and hairstyle bonuses, this little girl also has a good foundation, but she probably doesn't usually dress up. When she comes,
It looks very popular.
"Does it look good? Are you stunned by your beauty?" Teacher Yang smoothed her short hair and said with a smile to Zhao Liying.
Zhao Liying came back to her senses, pursed her lips, smiled in her eyes, and lowered her head slightly in embarrassment.
Teacher Yang waved to her, "Follow me, go to the audition room and face the camera to see the teachers on the directing team."
Director team?
Is it the teacher who decides whether he can act?
Although she had already expected such a moment, Zhao Liying was still nervous when it happened.
——Audition room.
What was originally a small conference room has now been temporarily used as a place for auditions, and photographers have already set up several cameras.
In front of the viewfinder, Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei, Zhang Jizhong and the others were waiting.
The front door was pushed open, and Teacher Yang led Zhao Liying in.
She is wearing a green watersuit, her hair is parted diagonally to the right, and a silver-white ring is close to the left side of her hair. She wears some foundation to look like a jade-like complexion, her hair is straightened and falling like a waterfall, and she has a naturally delicate baby face.
pretty.
After just one glance, Liu Yifei's eyes lit up and she kept holding Chu Xuan's hand, "Okay! It's very Baguio!"
Liu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and touched Zhao Jian lightly, "Can you tell it's Zhao Liying?"
Zhao Jian raised the corner of his mouth and slowly shook his head, "You can definitely tell, but I must say that Teacher Yang's makeup skills are really good."
Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and Zhang Jizhong were delighted when they heard this.
Huang Lei crossed his arms and said, "I agree with what Qian Qian said, it is indeed very Baguio."
With Huang Lei's approval, Liu Yifei's eyebrows arched.
"Teacher Yang, let her stand in front of the camera in four directions: front, left, right and back." Zhang Jizhong said.
Teacher Yang whispered a few words to Zhao Liying, and Zhao Liying came to the designated position and turned her body in four directions.
Zhang Jizhong leaned his head and looked at the screen, "I am actually very nervous, but my face is very calm. I am not affected by my emotions when facing the camera. I have no problem with basically being on camera."
Chu Xuan nodded, "Compared with Dong Xuan, her face and figure are exactly the opposite. One is tall, one is exquisite, one is cold and arrogant, and the other is kind. With Zhang Xiaofan as the center, the positive and negative of Baguio and Lu Xueqi are perfect.
It will be very interesting and make it more memorable for the audience.”
Liu Yifei said next to him, "With this appearance, she is a newcomer. I think she can amaze the audience as a Baguio."
Liu Yi stood behind them and said, "A suitable image, excellent character design, qualified service, and a memorable plot, together they will be amazing."
"There is a problem." Zhao Jian suddenly said: "The image fit is good, but she doesn't know how to act at all. If the filming progress is delayed, the gain may outweigh the loss."
"Brother Zhao, take a look at Huang Xuan before talking." Chu Xuan looked up at him and said.
Seeing that Chu Xuan seemed confident, Zhao Jian nodded.
Zhang Jizhong waved his hand to Teacher Yang, and Teacher Yang pulled Zhao Liying's sleeve and motioned for her to go out.
Zhao Liying was stunned for a moment. Is this the end? Two hours of makeup and two minutes of audition? She felt like the makeup had turned white.
In the dressing room, Huang Xuan saw Zhao Liying walking in. He couldn't help but ask: "Is the audition just over?"
Zhao Liying was still a little confused, nodded and said: "I just went in and walked around."
Turned in a circle?... Huang Xuan was stunned for a moment. He had never experienced an audition before and couldn't figure out what it meant to turn in a circle.
"Did you say anything?" he asked again.
"I didn't say anything." Zhao Liying shook her head and sat down on the sofa.
"Huang Xuan, come here." Teacher Yang waved.
"Zhao Liying, please take a rest first." Teacher Yang added.
Zhao Liying nodded, Huang Xuan took a deep breath, stood up and walked out with Teacher Yang.
In the audition room, under his gaze, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were chatting with some big shots. Seeing him come in, they all turned to look at him.
Wearing an ancient costume of light blue with white inside, the waist is also tied with a light blue belt. There is a strand of hair falling on both sides of the forehead, and a smooth wig is shawled over the shoulders.
Huang Xuan suppressed his inner nervousness and followed the camera's instructions to make movements and expressions.
In Teacher Yang's eyes, it was probably because Huang Xuan was a musical actor and had basic skills, which was better than Zhao Liying, a pure layman, so Mr. Chu and the others were a little stricter.
However, it only took a minute or two for Huang Xuan to stop Zhang Xiaofan's audition and was asked to change into Gui Li's makeup and clothes.
Huang Xuan and Teacher Yang walked out. When he saw Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei frowning and shaking their heads, he felt very uneasy.
"I'm not confident and my eyes fluctuate when facing the camera. This is not how a musical actor should behave." Zhao Jian shook his head.
Everyone nodded.
But Chu Xuan said: "Zhang Xiaofan is not confident either."
Everyone was startled.
Liu Yi nodded slightly: "That's true. Moreover, he just made a few expressions and was very emotional. This is the highlight."
Huang Lei smiled slightly: "Stage musicals are all about strong emotional interpretation to create enough dramatic tension to present the best stage effect. He has been studying for two or three years, and it can be seen that his acting talent is quite good."
Zhang Jizhong nodded and pointed at the screen. On the screen was the replay of Huang Xuan's audition.
"His appearance shows some perseverance and strength, but there is still a very important feeling missing." He commented.
"No sunshine, no years." Liu Yifei frowned.
Zhang Jizhong raised his smile, tilted his head and nodded to Liu Yifei: "Yes."
Chu Xuan sat on the chair, folded his hands and said: "Huang Xuan is now a junior, and his dancing talent in school is average, and he is also very introverted. This is similar to Zhang Xiaofan, whose cultivation talent seems ordinary compared to his classmates.
With Huang Xuan's experience, it is not difficult to portray Zhang Xiaofan's tolerance, introversion, strength and stubbornness."
Liu Yifei said next to him: "Let's see how his ghost power is."
As soon as he finished speaking, Teacher Yang came in with Huang Xuan.
There is no change in his image, he just changed into black ancient clothes and shawl.
Even so, Zhang Jizhong, Zhao Jian and Liu Yi's eyes lit up.
"Gui Li can." Zhao Jian nodded.
Zhang Jizhong took a few glances, took a picture of Chu Xuan, and said, "I see the shadow of you when you auditioned for Murong Fu in this ghost Li."
Chu Xuan raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Zhang Jizhong.
Zhang Jizhong smiled and said: "You were only 19 years old at the time. Although your face is young, your temperament, walking posture and eyes are very mature. This is a very special thing about you. This Huang Xuan is the same, 20 years old, and changed into dark clothes.
, and looks very mature.”
Liu Yifei showed her face and said: "But Chu Xuan is different now, he can be mature or young."
Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter. From Chu Xuan's Murong Fu and Guan Xuan to Li Xiaoyao and Yang Guo, there have been great changes.
In their eyes, it also shows that Chu Xuan's performance level is several levels higher than that of Murong Fu.
"I have been with you for a long time, and I have been influenced." Chu Xuan said to Liu Yifei.
Liu Yifei turned her head to look at him and smiled at him.
After auditioning a few scenes, Zhang Jizhong asked Huang Xuan to go out.
Zhao Jian said: "None of the actors recommended in the email are suitable for Zhang Xiaofan. This is because Zhang Xiaofan is young and Gui Li is mature. However, Zhang Xiaofan and Gui Li are the same person. None of the young actors recommended in the email can perform.
These two completely different temperaments.”
"Producer Chu, okay." Liu Yi took a photo of Chu Xuan.
Liu Yifei, Zhang Jizhong and Huang Leixiao looked at Chu Xuan.
Zhao Jian joked: "Producer Chu is so handsome that he has nothing to do with Zhang Xiaofan."
Hearing this, everyone looked happy, and Chu Xuan couldn't help laughing.
Zhao Jian lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment, then said: "It is rare for a young man like Huang Xuan to have such a mature temperament. But he is only 20 years old, so he should have the side of a sunny boy. If Huang Xuan has this side, then this side
The growth line from Zhang Xiaofan to Gui Li will surprise the audience."
Chu Xuan nodded and said: "Let Huang Xuan find his confidence, and Sunshine Boy will be there."
Zhang Jizhong raised his eyebrows, looked at Chu Xuan and said, "Are you so optimistic about this Huang Xuan? Do you still want to train him to find confidence?"
Chu Xuan shook his head and said: "There is currently no actor suitable for Zhang Xiaofan. Huang Xuan is currently the only actor with an image and temperament that matches Gui Li. It's just that he doesn't fit Zhang Xiaofan yet. Everyone has also seen Zhao Liying's Baguio image.
It really suits the role of Baguio."
Chu Xuan turned his head to look at Zhang Jizhong and said: "If Brother Zhang and Brother Zhao don't have any objections, I will let Huang Xuan and Zhao Liying go to the "Crazy Stone" crew in the mountain city to practice for a month, master the basic rules of the set, and then they can find roles as part-timers.
If you try your own way of acting in a month and audition again, it will be the best, but you have to change the person."
Zhang Jizhong thought for a while and nodded: "Although it is risky to cast new people to play important roles, "Zhu Xian" is led by you and Xixi, and it is your hard work, so you make the decision in these matters and I will not interfere. The company uses resources to train new people.
That’s normal, but only if they sign the contract first.”
"This is natural." Chu Xuan nodded.
He looked at Liu Yifei and suddenly smiled in his eyes.
"This is what I think. It would be fine if Sissi and I act as actors. We don't have time. But Sissi and I are now producers. We will follow the team to learn directing from Brother Zhao, and we will also have a lot of free time.
.”
"If there are good scripts and good stories in the future, whether we are producers or directors, Sissi and I will need our own team of actors."
"So, I think we can take advantage of the opportunity of "Zhu Xian" to try to train new people step by step, teach them acting, and cultivate our team."
"This is okay!" Zhao Jian smiled broadly and agreed: "If you are willing to teach me step by step, then I will definitely support it. At least I am not worried about the filming progress."
Zhang Jizhong looked at Chu Xuan with a stunned look on his face and said: "The producer personally goes out to teach the newcomers. This is a rare thing. I have never done it. If you have the patience, you can try it. You spend the time
I have trained you to be a strong team, and you really need to think about it in the future."
Zhang Jizhong looked at Liu Yifei again and said: "The most important thing is that teaching newcomers step by step has a very different meaning. From now on, they will call you master. With so many people on the crew witnessing it, this master-disciple relationship cannot be escaped."
.”
Liu Yifei blinked cutely, she had no idea of Chu Xuan's intention before.
