Due to the actor's schedule, it is impossible for all the actors who come to audition to be together. They all need to be determined according to their free time.
"Is it over today?" Liu Yifei was still not satisfied, so she stretched out and experienced the feeling of auditioning others for the first time, which made her feel fresh and interesting.
Chu Xuan said "hmm" and looked at the audition list. There were only a few important roles, and there were not many actors they needed to audition every day during the audition period.
"Good guy, it's already afternoon." Huang Lei yawned.
Actors who come to audition for important roles need to dress up in as exquisite a costume as possible, which consumes a lot of time, so the frequency of their auditions is not fast.
It takes several hours for each actor to dress up as a Fuhua Taoist. Only a few people were auditioned, and most of the day passed in the blink of an eye.
However, on the casting director's side, there are a lot of new actors competing for small supporting roles, and there are even more special actors and prospective extras who come to audition.
If the filming is in a film and television city, the extras will be recruited locally.
However, "Zhu Xian" required a lot of real-life scenes, and the extras also had to work with the group.
If you go with a group, the expenses will naturally increase a lot. Every money must be properly spent. The crew is also very strict about the audition and selection of extras. In order not to waste time, one will come out immediately.
.
In comparison, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei seemed relatively relaxed.
The sun sets, the moon rises, and the moon sets and the sun rises.
For several days, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei took advantage of the break between auditions to deal with company affairs, while also keeping a close eye on the progress and completion of the work of various departments inside and outside the crew.
When someone comes to audition, they go back to the audition room.
"Hello teachers, my name is Hu Ge, and I'm here to audition for Lin Jingyu." Hu Ge stood in front of the camera and introduced.
"Let's get started." Zhao Jian said.
While everyone watched Hu Ge's audition, they recalled the characteristics of the character.
Talented, calm and composed, arrogant and affectionate, this is Lin Jingyu's character.
It's just that the current Hu Ge's face is not calm and steady enough, nor is he arrogant enough.
"Hu Ge, don't move the corners of your mouth, don't have any expression on your face, don't blink when you say your lines, try it again." Chu Xuan said.
During Liu Yifei's birthday party, I also interacted with Hu Ge and chatted a little bit. It was not a close acquaintance, but an acquaintance.
After hearing what Chu Xuan said, Hu Ge nodded, took a deep breath, and auditioned again after getting ready.
"It's okay this time." Zhao Jian looked at Hu Ge on the screen and said to Chu Xuan: "But the character Lin Jingyu is more complicated after adding a growth line, and he hasn't shown the deeper things yet."
"Additional test." Huang Lei said with his arms folded.
Liu Yifei tilted her head to look at Chu Xuan to see what he would decide.
Chu Xuan stood up, and under the eyes of everyone, he walked into the set and came to Hu Ge.
"It's been a while since we decided on the actors. Have you read the original work?" he asked.
"See." Hu Ge nodded.
Chu Xuan told him: "I have greatly changed the plot of Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu's hatred for Caomiao Village. In the subsequent plot, Lin Jingyu has a rift with Zhang Xiaofan because he betrayed the Qingyun Sect, but the brotherhood is still there.
On a certain day, Lin Jingyu achieved great success in cultivation and went to Tianyin Temple to seek explanation from Tianyin Temple."
Hu Ge was startled. Is this an adapted plot? He listened carefully.
Chu Xuan continued: "Just in time, Gui Li came and met Lin Jingyu at the gate of Tianyin Temple. Gui Li came to Tianyin Temple to ask for the artifact [Samsara Disk] to save Baguio. Lin Jingyu got
Knowing that Gui Li had already forgiven Pu Zhi for the massacre of Caomiao Village and Tianyin Temple, he couldn't help but start an argument with Gui Li."
Hu Ge nodded and thought about it carefully.
Chu Xuan looked at him and said: "Faced with such a situation, facing your good brother who has forgotten hatred, how should you express your emotions? The lines are arbitrary, I will play Zhang Xiaofan, and we will do a simple duel scene.
Do you have enough time to prepare?"
Hu Ge raised his eyebrows, a temporary show?
Chu Xuan won the Golden Horse Supporting Actor Award at the age of 20, and now he is one of the few people at the top of the domestic entertainment industry due to his popularity. This is undoubtedly an enviable and worthy goal.
Facing Chu Xuan, who was two years younger than him but whose achievements were N levels higher than his, he was very excited to play with him.
Although he had a hunch that Chu Xuan's acting skills might kill him instantly, but this would make it more challenging, wouldn't it?
"That's enough." He said softly, lowering his eyebrows and looking for himself.
Chu Xuan turned sideways in front of Hu Ge, facing the empty front, waiting for Hu Ge's show.
One minute later.
"Xiao Fan! Have you forgotten the lives of those in Caomiao Village?!" Hu Ge asked through gritted teeth, glaring slightly angrily.
Chu Xuan maintained his ghostly posture, glanced at him, and said, "Don't live for hatred."
The slanting gaze and the light and airy feeling made Hu Ge's heart throb for no reason, and the anger on his face couldn't help but become even more intense.
Hu Ge grabbed Chu Xuan's arm, turned Chu Xuan to face him, and shouted angrily in a low voice: "Think about your parents! How did they die?!"
Chu Xuan looked at him calmly for a few seconds, then his eyes suddenly moved to the left, as if someone was coming next to him. Then he turned sideways and said slowly: "Master Puhong, can I borrow the Tianyin Temple's Samsara Disk?"
Chu Xuan's attitude of ignoring Chu Xuan was driven by Chu Xuan's emotions. Hu Ge felt inexplicably angry, his breathing became slightly heavier, and then he regained his stern expression and said: "What are you going to do?"
"Save Baguio." Chu Xuan said calmly.
"She is a witch!" Hu Ge said solemnly.
Chu Xuan tilted his head slightly to look at him and said, "I am Gui Li."
Hu Ge was startled and opened his mouth, but nothing came out. He scratched his head and laughed dryly.
There was some applause from the directing team, and Huang Lei grinned and said, "This improvisation is okay, and the lines are actually smooth."
"I can't think of words." Hu Ge was slightly embarrassed.
It was a completely temporary scene, but looking at Chu Xuan's ability to do it with ease, all the right lines came out smoothly.
Moreover, the lines and gestures he spoke were also in line with the character. He didn't know whether the lines he said and the state just now were consistent with Lin Jingyu. Although he only got a few lines correct, he was almost led astray by Chu Xuan, which made him
I felt some differences.
Chu Xuan can also temporarily perform without real objects without appearing in the drama. If nothing else, Chu Xuan's understanding of "Zhu Xian" is definitely much better than him.
Chu Xuan reached out and patted Hu Ge's shoulder and said: "It's a temporary scene, the lines are all nonsense, it's not important, but your emotions are right for this scene, go and take a rest."
Hu Ge nodded, turned and left.
Chu Xuan walked towards the direction of the director's team and sat down on the chair.
"Handsome." Liu Yifei pinched his face with a smile on her face.
"How is it?" Chu Xuan looked at Zhao Jian.
Zhao Jian smiled back and said, "It's just him. Huo Jianhua, Feng Shaofeng, and Liu Kaiwei are a little older."
Chu Xuan nodded and said, "That's fine, so that I don't have to argue with Mr. Cai again."
Everyone was delighted after hearing this, and they negotiated resources. But in the end, if the actors were not good enough, both parties would be embarrassed.
After some time, the door was pushed open and the audition actor walked in. He glanced at Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei for a few times and smiled at the corner of his mouth.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei looked at Peng Yuyan and raised the corners of their mouths slightly.
"Hello teachers, I am Peng Yuyan, here to audition Qi Hao." Peng Yuyan said.
"Let's get started." Zhao Jian said.
The character Qi Hao is a good old man, his behavior is strict, his growth path has no stains, and he has helped Zhang Xiaofan many times.
It is estimated that people from Peng Yuyan's company chose Peng Yuyan to play this role because he liked the character's good character, was helpful to the protagonist, and had a lot of interactions with the protagonist.
When Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei originally drafted the actor for this role, they also recalled Peng Yuyan's image of Tang Yu Xiaobao in "Sword of Immortals", and they fit this role quite well.
Under the screenwriter's settings, there is something very interesting about this character.
He is almost unsmiling and a bit serious in front of others, but only leaves his tenderness and smile to Tian Linger. This is the iconic feature of Qi Hao's character in the script.
"Yanyan, smile." Liu Yifei suddenly said.
Chu Xuan and Zhao Jian looked at Peng Yuyan and felt a little interesting for a moment.
Hearing Liu Yifei's words, Peng Yuyan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and then smiled slightly.
Zhao Jian waved his hand, and the staff asked Peng Yuyan to go out. Zhao Jian then said: "This role is the best to play. It is not as complicated as other roles. Most of the time, you just need to maintain one state."
Zhao Jian put a checkmark on Peng Yuyan's name.
Huang Lei crossed his legs and said: "Artists from Baodao come to the mainland mainly to gain popularity at this stage. Qi Hao is a good role. If you play it well, you will be lovable."
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei nodded in agreement.
While reading the information, chatting.
After some time, the staff pushed the door open with the audition actors.
"Hello teachers, my name is Yuan Hong, and I'm auditioning for Xiao Yicai." Yuan Hong said.
Zhao Jian looked up at the viewfinder and signaled Yuan Hong to start.
The screenwriter teacher based the character of Xiao Yicai on the basis of the original work, with few resets, keeping the character of a good person from the beginning to the end.
However, there are a few minor changes.
It turned out that Xiao Yi was an undercover agent placed by the Qingyun Sect into the Demon Sect, but his identity was revealed by the Ghost King in Liubo Mountain.
During this time period, the actor who plays Xiao Yicai needs to perform both good and evil.
Not only should the people of the Demon Sect be unable to tell his identity, but also the people of the righteous sect should not be able to tell his identity, and the audience should not be able to guess whether Xiao Yicai is good or bad before his identity is revealed.
This is a very interesting point when the screenwriter teacher designed the role of Xiao Yicai, and it is also the difficulty in interpreting this role.
"This Yuan Hong has a face that is both good and evil. You are really accurate in finding people." Huang Lei said behind Chu Xuan.
Hearing Huang Lei's words behind him, Chu Xuan turned his head and looked at Liu Yifei and smiled.
"This character has been slightly modified, and the modification is quite interesting." Wu Qingyuan said.
Seeing Yuan Hong walk out, Zhao Jian opened the thermos cup and took a drink of water.
"As for group portraits, in order to show individuality, each character must have characteristics. The screenwriter has made fine adjustments to the original characters." He put down the thermos cup.
Liu Yi nodded slightly and said: "I prefer the plot of Jia, where the world view and the personality of the characters are reflected at the same time, such as Wan Jianyi..."
Before he finished speaking, the audition actor walked in.
Chu Xuan glanced at it and said, "Brother Jiao, are you really here?"
Jiao Enjun walked over wearing white clothes. He is almost 40 years old, but he can still be said to be a beautiful tree facing the wind.
During last year's Golden Eagle Awards and Liu Yifei's coming-of-age ceremony, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei met him twice. He was relatively elegant and easy-going, which left a good impression on people.
When they first saw him sending the email, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were a little surprised.
Unexpectedly, Jiao Enjun actually came to audition for Wan Jianyi.
"The emails have been sent, of course I have to come." Jiao Enjun said to Chu Xuan gently.
Zhao Jian looked at him and said: "Teacher Jiao, I don't think you need to audition. You look very Wan Jianyi in your outfit."
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei nodded in agreement.
"May I ask, why did you come to audition for this role? Although it is an important supporting role, there are not many roles." Huang Lei asked. The former leading actor came to audition for a supporting role. Although there are many such things in the industry, he still let
He was a little confused.
"I don't pick roles, I just look at whether the role is interesting. Originally I wanted to audition for Daoxuan, but I decided not to because my face is not Daoxuan at all." Jiao Enjun joked to himself.
"Brother Jiao, I am just like you. The face looks like this, which limits your performance. There is nothing we can do." Chu Xuan continued.
Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter instantly.
"A little bit of face." Liu Yifei patted Chu Xuan and raised her eyebrows in amusement.
"That makes sense." Jiao Enjun said to Chu Xuan, accepting his joke.
Although Zhao Jian said there was no need for an audition, he already had all the skills required to perform the audition. Even if he came, he still had to go through the process.
Just as Zhao Jian said, Jiao Enjun's silver hair and white clothes gave Wan Jianyi the elegance and immortality in an instant. The heroic spirit between Jiao Enjun's brows also made him Wan Jianyi.
Jianyi is elegant yet domineering, which fits the character setting in the script very well.
Before the audition was over, Zhao Jian put a check mark on the list.
"Brother Jiao, originally there weren't many scenes, but after it was changed to a group portrait, the total scenes we gave Wan Jianyi plus totaled about 20 minutes," Chu Xuan said.
"What scenes were added?" Jiao Enjun looked at Chu Xuan with some interest.
Liu Yifei smiled and said: "Wan Jianyi led Cangsong Taoist, Tian Buyi, Shang Zhengliang, and Zeng Shuchang, and used the power of five people to attack the Wilderness Temple and kill the demon sect without leaving a trace. Wan Jianyi is from "Zhu Xian"
"The most genius character in the film, the purpose of adding this scene is to reflect Wan Jianyi's domineering and genius."
Jiao Enjun was stunned when he heard this and said: "What happened a hundred years ago in the character summary should be fully filmed?"
Liu Yifei nodded and said: "Yes, one is to expand the world view, and the other is to increase the cultural heritage of the world of "Zhu Xian"."
Jiao Enjun smiled slightly and said: "I like this scene. I hope I can get Wan Jianyi's script."
It was a bit unexpected for everyone to have him audition, but it was the best thing when he came.
If he has acting skills and fits the role, then there is no need to worry too much about the interpretation of the character Wan Jianyi.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Jiao Enjun left, one acting group followed after another.
"It's you, no need to audition. Guo Jing is afraid of Huang Rong, Tian Buyi is also afraid of Suru, you are Suru." Zhao Jian joked.
"Old Zhao, you are too polite. The two producers didn't say anything, which makes me feel so embarrassed." Kong Ling said.
Chu Xuan waved his hand and said: "Aunt Guo, Guo'er announces that you have passed."
Liu Yifei said sweetly: "Aunt Guo, Long'er also announced that you have passed."
Kong Ling raised her head and smiled and said: "Thank you, Long'er, for letting Aunt Guo go through the process, otherwise the makeup would turn white."
Everyone looked happy.
Immediately afterwards, Meng Guangmei, who played Li Mochou in "The Condor", auditioned for Master Shuiyue.
"Senior sister." Liu Yifei waved.
"Hello, junior sister." Meng Guangmei waved back.
The audition ended quickly. That cold face, that five-meter aura, that arrogant gaze...
"When I become a producer in the future, I will choose these teachers when I choose actors. They are absolutely amazing." Liu Yifei sighed with emotion, and gave a big thumbs up to the teachers for the sense of character they created through very simple stage shapes.
Next, Zhong Zhentao, who played Gongsun Zhi in "The Condor", auditioned for the Ghost King.
Ji Chunhua, who plays Duan Yanqing in "Tianlong", auditions for the role of the black-hearted old man.
Zhong Liti, who played Kang Min in "Dragon", auditioned for Mrs. Golden Bell.
Shen Junyi, who plays the old monster Xingxiu in "Dragon", auditions for the role of Poison God.
Yang Niansheng, who plays Abbot Xuanci in "Tianlong", auditions for Tian Buyi.
Tang Zhengzong, who plays Duan Zhengchun in "Tianlong", auditioned for Shang Zhengliang.
Gao Zhao, who plays Yun Zhonghe in "Dragon", auditions for the boss...
They are all old friends of Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and Zhao Jian. Every teacher comes in and chats more than auditions. Of course, this is also an absolute recognition of the abilities of each teacher.
Hearing that these teachers were coming, Zhang Jizhong and Yu Min from next door also took the time to come over to play around and chat a little bit.
"With them, the quality of character creation has been stabilized." Zhang Jizhong patted Chu Xuan on the shoulder.
"Good taste." Yu Min gave a thumbs up.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei smiled slightly.
And as more actors are confirmed, the closer it is to the end of the audition.
However, the audition for Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei was quite enjoyable, but it also posed another problem for Wang Jinhua.
Although "Zhu Xian" is produced by Bright Times, it is owned by several investors besides Bright Times.
Even if the right is exercised in a bright era, investors will naturally pay attention when it comes to auditions.
As early as some time ago, when the draft list of actors was sent to major investors.
Other investors were fine, but Mango Channel made a phone call to Wang Jinhua who was far away in Guangdong Province.
"Mr. Wang, is the male protagonist of "Zhu Xian" a newcomer?" Mango Channel's film purchasing director said, somewhat questioningly in his tone.
"Director Zhang, I'll come to Star City to talk to you later, okay?"
