Ten days later, as December approaches, Chen Mo’s album music video shooting has been completed, and all that remains is post-production and preparation for release.
The album work was suddenly finished. Chen Mo's burden suddenly lightened. He adjusted from the high-intensity work state and had free time again.
The early preparations for "A Chinese Ghost Story" are being done non-stop by his company, Silent Media. Chen Mo has free time and has more time to guide the production progress of "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty".
In addition, Chen Mo personally did another thing...
One of the most important things in making a movie is casting!
Sometimes, good and suitable actors can often determine the fate of a movie. Similarly, a good movie is definitely inseparable from good actors, not to mention "A Chinese Ghost Story", a film that is understandable in the world before time travel.
A classic, the characters in it have also been shaped into well-deserved classics.
Faced with the matter of casting for this film, Chen Mo showed great concern and made it a top priority in the preparations for this film, so he personally took care of this matter.
In the conference hall of Silent Media's company headquarters, relevant personnel within the company were summoned, including the crew of "A Chinese Ghost Story" that Chen Mo had formed.
Chen Mo sat at the head of the conference table without hesitation. Chen Mo first said: "Everyone must go all out to do our best in the preparations for this movie."
"In the preparation of the film, casting is also very important. Do you have any recommendations or suggestions for the roles in this film? Feel free to bring it up for discussion." Chen Mo asked, indicating that everyone could speak freely.
.
People in the conference hall started a discussion without restraint. The first thing everyone discussed was about the choice of the villain "Grandma Dryad" in the movie. Finally, so many people suggested several actors in the entertainment industry.
Chen Mo carefully looked at the information of these nominated actors.
After selecting several people, Chen Mo took a look and felt that one of them was quite suitable for the role of 'Grandma', so he looked at this person's information carefully.
The stage name is Xiaobao, which is a very strange stage name, but some people also call him Brother Bao or Duke Bao... The reason is that the roles Xiaobao has played since his debut are very special.
Xiao Baoxing is a male and has an acting career for nearly ten years. He left an impression on the big screen and starred as a eunuch in his representative TV series and movies... He is also known as a professional eunuch in the industry, and his reputation as an eunuch is extremely famous.
The audience can be soft or strong, yin or yang, and his famous masterpiece is "Three Treasures Eunuch".
Chen Mo looked at a series of information about this Xiaobao, including his career as an actor, award-winning experiences, etc., and felt that this 'professional eunuch' was quite suitable for the role of 'Grandma'. After all, 'Grandma' in the movie was also half-man and half-female.
The yinless monster fits Xiaobao's image quite well...
Thinking like this, Chen Mo made up his mind and said to the manager of the public relations department: "Try to contact 'Xiaobao', it is best to persuade him to come to the company for an interview and finalize it."
"Okay." the PR manager responded.
The role of Dryad "Grandma" has been tentatively decided, and Chen Mo still needs to consider other roles. Among the main characters in the movie, the male protagonist Ning Caichen has been identified as himself, and the role of Yan Chixia
He also has a target in his heart, the most important remaining character - the female ghost Xiaoqian.
The role of the female ghost Xiaoqian is very important in the movie. After all, even in the world before time travel, one of the biggest highlights of the movie is the female ghost Xiaoqian, and after the movie was released, she starred in the female ghost Xiaoqian.
The actor also became popular very quickly, and was popular all over Asia at that time. When people think of the female ghost, people will always think of 'Xiao Qian' at the first time, and even the name of the movie 'A Chinese Ghost Story' is about the female ghost Xiao Qian.
"Hmm, do you have any opinions about the role of 'Nvgui Xiaoqian'?" Chen Mo asked again. No one he knew was suitable for this role, otherwise he must be someone who can't let others go.
', because there was no suitable person among the people he knew, so he could only ask the people present. After all, some of the people present were familiar with the entertainment industry.
"How about Hongdou?" Someone suggested an actress.
Chen Mo looked at the actor Hongdou's information and firmly shook his head in rejection.
"How about xxx?"
"How is this actor xx?"
"I think xx is quite suitable."
Everyone recommended a bunch of actresses, and some of them were often rejected before Chen Mo could vote them down by the rest of the people present. One by one, the actors were submitted to Chen Mo. Chen Mo looked at them one by one and was still not satisfied.
.
The conference room was lively for a while, and there was no discussion on the candidate for the role of 'Xiao Qian'. In desperation, the meeting ended. Before leaving, Chen Mo still asked everyone to pay attention to the suitable candidate for this role.
.
"Is this role so difficult to choose?" After everyone dispersed, manager Wang Shuhua walked up to them and asked.
"Yes, all the actors I just recommended do not meet the standards in my mind." Chen Mo rubbed his temples, "This role is too important, you must choose it well."
"Take your time, don't rush for a day or two, you will always find the right one." Wang Shuhua comforted her.
"I hope so."
…
Two days later, Xiaobao, a "professional eunuch", came to the company as invited to participate in the audition of "Grandma".
When Chen Mo saw Xiaobao in real life, he took a look at him first. Sure enough, he was thin, had a soft appearance, and had a somewhat masculine aura, so he was indeed more suitable for the role of 'Grandma'.
Chen Mo stepped forward and shook hands: "Welcome, Senior Bao, to come to our Silent Media to audition."
Although Xiaobao looks unconventional, he behaved very kindly at this time. He smiled slightly: "I would like to thank Director Chen Mo for giving me this opportunity. Now the outside world is paying close attention to your movie."
After being polite, Chen Mo got to the point: "Senior Bao should have read the script before. I personally feel that the role of 'Grandma' is very suitable for you, senior, but I still want to give it a try."
"OK."
Xiaobao readily agreed, and then performed several scenes in the script under Chen Mo's instructions.
"Okay, great." After watching Xiaobao's live performance, Chen Mo praised: "Senior's acting skills are really great, and he interprets this role very well."
Without pausing, Chen Mo said with a smile: "I think the role of 'Grandma' can be officially identified as you, senior."
"What an honor."
…………
After seeing off Xiaobao, the "professional eunuch" who was confirmed to play the role of "Grandma", Chen Mo pondered alone:
Grandma is in place, but Xiaoqian is still nowhere to be seen. The few candidates who have been selected to be determined always have some shortcomings. What should we do...
ps:: That’s it for today. Xiaobao in the book is a guest star from a book friend... If you want a supporting role, please leave a message in the book review area.
