Four days after Silent Media released the public casting call for "A Chinese Ghost Story", it was also the day when the public call for casting began.
Three hundred meters south of the entrance of Capital Entertainment University, the rows of chairs under the sheds are already full of people. There are still many people standing there because there are no chairs. At this time, there are still dozens of people left until nine o'clock.
Minutes, the exact time for the open call is to start at nine o'clock.
The staff has been busy for a while. They need to accept the registration, number, and screening of incoming players to avoid fishing in troubled waters. This situation is not uncommon, such as now:
In front of the registration desk, women were registering one by one. The staff asked a series of questions such as name, age, expertise, etc. while lowering his head to record from time to time. At this time, he raised his head and said to the woman in front of him: "Sister, your age is not appropriate.
There are regulations for casting, so we cannot give you a registration and number."
In other cases, he said to a woman who spoke Henan dialect: "Your Mandarin is not up to standard. We require that your Mandarin must reach a standard level."
"Child, you are too young. Did you skip class? Go back quickly, don't let your parents and teachers worry."
"I'm sorry, young lady, what we ask for is a good face..."
"sorry……"
"Excuse me……"
The staff not only accepted everyone's registrations, but also did their job of poisoning and destroying flowers. They pointed out problems one by one with sharp words, eliminated each contestant who came to fish in troubled waters, and faithfully implemented the standards set by Chen Mo.
Age, appearance, accent and other aspects are very strict, otherwise so many contestants would exhaust their own boss to death.
Later, many players who came to apply called the leveling process the 'first level'.
…………
It was approaching nine o'clock, and Chen Mo, who was inside the building, said to the assistant on the side: "Let everyone start."
The instructions were conveyed, and the peripheral staff began to let those who had received the numbers enter the venue one by one.
The girl with the first rank was a round-faced girl. She was a little nervous when she heard the assistant call her to come in. The person inside was the 'Prince' Chen Mo, his idol, and there were other people present. He was here to be reviewed and selected this time.
.The round-faced girl said to herself.
After taking two deep breaths, the round-faced girl went in, stood in front of Chen Mo, the assistant director, the chief cameraman of "A Chinese Ghost Story" and several others, and introduced herself.
As soon as the round-faced girl entered the scene, Chen Mo didn't miss a word on his face, but in his heart he had already made a judgment on this girl - inappropriate! Although the round-faced girl has a good face, a well-proportioned figure, is proficient in Mandarin, and has acting experience,
The image is very different from the 'Xiaoqian' in Chen Mo's memory. The round face alone says it all.
After the round-faced girl finished her introduction and performed her special skills, Chen Mo and the people around him looked at each other, and Chen Mo spoke:
"This classmate, there is nothing wrong with your acting skills and appearance..." The round-faced girl was nervous and happy in her heart. Unexpectedly, Chen Mo praised herself.
"But classmate, your appearance is completely inconsistent with the definition of 'Xiaoqian', so..." After listening to Chen Mo's words, the round-faced girl felt sad. The huge contrast between the two sentences also made her emotional gap, and her loss was extremely obvious.
, walked out in despair. The contestants outside could almost guess the result just by looking at her. They were either pitiful or happy. After all, there is only one heroine. If someone else is chosen, it means that they have no chance. Everyone is.
In fierce competition, it's like an army crossing a single-plank bridge, and you can't help but sympathize.
After the round-faced girl was eliminated, another girl with number 2 came in, then number 3, number 4, number 5...
Seeing each one come out like wilted cucumbers after entering, those who came late felt uneasy, and those who were nervous became even more nervous.
"Number thirty-seven!" The assistant called another player to come in.
Unsuitable ones came up one by one, and many of them were eliminated by Chen Mo at first sight. He thought that this was not the way to go and would waste too much time, so Chen Mo set several thresholds outside the door. Be sure to do it again.
Eliminate some people, otherwise, when will the long queue of people outside that is still expanding come to an end?
When No. 37 entered the venue, several judges' eyes lit up. This one was much better than the previous thirty-some. The beauty at first sight alone was enough to instantly defeat the previous thirty-some.
Beauty No. 37 has thin eyebrows, an oval face, a high nose bridge, and a small cherry mouth... Several judges looked at each other, and they all saw the little meaning in each other's eyes, but they still had to look at each other in the end.
Chen Mo, a big boss, has a good face.
Chen Mo's expression has always been on his face, and he either remains calm or has a modest smile. The thirty-odd inappropriate players who joined him before will not make him feel better, and the person in front of him looks like this.
The appearance of No. 37, who is still passable, is more in line with the image of 'Xiaoqian' that she has set. No wonder several judges were moved.
No. 37 introduced herself, performed a personal talent show, and talked about her previous experience as an advertising model. Then she looked at Chen Mo and the others at the judges' table with a hint of confidence.
Several judges just conveyed their thoughts, and the decision was still made by Chen Mo. Chen Mo pondered for a while, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and said to No. 37: "The appearance is in line with our standards, and he has acted in the past.
This experience is a bonus, please follow my assistant to the dressing room to change into costumes, let the makeup artist do your makeup, and then we will try on the mirror."
Unable to conceal her joy, No. 37 followed the assistant to the dressing room at the back. After a while, she came back and had already changed into the costume of "Xiao Qian" and had simply applied some makeup.
Chen Mo handed No. 37 a page of script and instructed him to temporarily perform this scene according to the script.
Miss No. 37 performed this scene according to the script and added some of her own understanding. This scene was the first time Nie Xiaoqian met Ning Caichen. She was asked to show Xiaoqian's slight shyness and the unbearable feeling when she met Ning Caichen for the first time.
.
After No. 37's performance, Chen Mo shook his head secretly. Even the assistant director next to him who was previously satisfied with No. 37 also shook his head secretly and sighed at No. 37's performance.
The performance of No. 37 has heavy traces of modernity and does not enter the situation at all. The performance is very stiff and cannot express Xiaoqian's agility at all. She may be suitable to be a beautiful urban girl, but she is really far from Xiaoqian.
Already.
Chen Mo did not refuse directly, but asked No. 37 to go back and wait for notification.
After leaving on the 37th, the assistant director said with emotion: "I didn't expect that the performance of the only contestant who has entered the costume audition stage so far is so disappointing."
"Take your time." Chen Mo consoled him, but said in his heart: Xiaoqian, where are you!
