After spending a lot of time, Jiang Yuan selected a dozen photos of actors suitable for different roles from a pile of photos.
"These actors, if there are no problems with their resumes and backgrounds, they should also call for auditions when the time comes." Jiang Yuan organized the photos and handed them to He Jing.
"Okay, before the audition starts in a few days, I will screen the mailbox a few more times to see if there are any suitable ones." He Jing said, flipping through the photos.
After all, the official announcement of "Want to Meet You" is less than a day away, and the number of actors who have submitted their resumes and messages is still growing.
Except for new actors, several well-known agents in the industry have just sent He Jing messages to inquire.
"Also, what are your thoughts on the selection of the heroine and the second male lead?" He Jing raised his head and asked after putting the photos away.
Compared with supporting roles, the starring role is obviously the soul of a drama.
"The heroine must find someone with good acting skills. After all, there is basically no second female lead in this drama. The heroine needs to play two roles, and the acting requirements are quite high." Jiang Yuan said.
"Well, the problem now is that Song Ya and Wen Zhixian's teams have contacted me. What do you think should I choose?" He Jing asked.
"Then let them audition together. When the time comes, it will be up to whoever is suitable to act. The one who is capable will be chosen." Jiang Yuan replied.
In his opinion, both Song Ya and Song Ya's acting skills are very good, and he really can't tell who is more suitable without watching the two perform it again.
"In addition to the two of them, a team from Xiaohua, which is relatively popular in the industry, has just contacted me."
"Then for the second male lead, currently..." He Jing opened his computer and introduced Jiang Yuan one by one.
More than half an hour later.
"Stop, stop!" Jiang Yuan stopped He Jing from introducing the next actor to him, feeling a little headache.
"You just have to see who is more suitable. I will give my opinion after the audition." Jiang Yuan said.
The last casting selection for "The Temptation of Going Home" was basically left to He Jing.
But this time before the official announcement of "Want to Meet You", He Jing said that he wanted Jiang Yuan to be deeply involved in the casting process.
Jiang Yuan agreed without much thought. Now it's called regret. It's okay to have to go through all the roles, big and small.
The most tiring thing is dealing with the major artist teams. There were several actors just now, and Jiang Yuan was ready to swipe them just by looking at their faces.
The photo was really over-edited, and when I clicked on the clips from past performances, it turned out that it was more wooden than wood.
But for such an actor, He Jing even had to give him an audition opportunity out of a favor.
Jiang Yuan's behavior of giving up the choice was expected by He Jing. His original plan was just to let Jiang Yuan use his ability to match the actor's role.
"Usually, if I lower the price for actors like this, they will give up on auditioning themselves." Finally, he introduced a young actor to Jiang Yuan, and He Jing taught him some tips.
The audition for "Want to See You" will be held in a week. After Jiang Yuan chose the role, he felt much more relaxed. He only had to check it during the official audition.
Over the course of a week, preparations for the audition for "Want to See You" were carried out in an orderly manner.
The audition location is the same as "The Temptation of Going Home" and is still held at Xingyuan Entertainment.
Different from last time, this time the auditions for "Want to Meet You" were larger, and even the auditions for some less important roles were held together.
The actors handed over their resumes and prepared for audition time slots for their respective roles, and Jiang Yuan was not idle either.
Mainly busy with the shooting of physical photos for the new album, which correspond to the songs included in the album. Each song has a matching style and shooting location.
There are a total of sixteen sets of photos in total, and the shooting is quite cumbersome.
After filming, Jiang Yuan basically spent all his time practicing his acting skills.
Like the heroine, the male protagonist Li Ziwei of "Want to See You" is also a very layered character, which essentially poses a lot of challenges to Jiang Yuan.
Although I have already had the experience of starring in "The Temptation of Going Home", I have even withstood the test of the market and received certain praise.
But his family knows his own affairs. The main reason why Jiang Yuan can perform the role of Hong Shixian well is because of the buff bonus of [Zhasu Aura], which achieves such amazing effects.
Jiang Yuan's actual acting skills are just that of a new actor who has accumulated some experience through this drama.
Fortunately, Jiang Yuan still has a script and has a deep understanding of the role he wants to play.
On this basis, I worked hard and figured out the characteristics of the character and the key points of the role before the audition began.
Coupled with the fact that the script had its own lines, Jiang Yuan was not embarrassed at all about the audition.
During the audition process, although Jiang Yuan did not need to be tested, acting against others was definitely inevitable.
In the dressing room, Jiang Yuan was looking at the mirror with a concave expression, looking for the camera.
Zhang Qing walked into the dressing room with a somewhat excited expression.
Jiang Yuan thought that the scene was ready to start shooting, so he subconsciously got up.
As soon as he stood up, Zhang Qing pushed him down into his seat again.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Yuan asked with some confusion.
"As I told you before, we have decided on a variety show suitable for promoting your new album!" Zhang Qing's tone was filled with uncontrollable excitement.
She had just finished a phone call with Sun Tao and learned that the review had been passed, and immediately shared it with Jiang Yuan.
"Really? What show?" Jiang Yuan asked curiously.
Zhang Qing came to communicate about the program, and he didn’t know anything about it before.
"It's not a traditional music variety show. You should have heard of Sun Tao's recent variety show, right?" Zhang Qing asked.
"Sun Tao?" Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and immediately thought about it.
"You're not talking about "New Rhythm of National Style", are you?" Jiang Yuan asked.
When Sun Tao was mentioned recently, Jiang Yuan could only think of this show.
Although this show has not become a hit, its reputation is surprisingly high, and it still occupies the top spot in this year's variety show rating list even after it was first aired.
Moreover, it is a program with great content, and each episode is very meaningful, which is in line with Sun Tao's style of producing programs.
"Yes, this is the program. It has been agreed that you will participate in the recording as a special guest. There will be two episodes in total." Zhang Qing said excitedly.
"It's just that the remuneration per issue is not very high." Zhang Qing then added.
Zhang Qing's supplement in the second half of the sentence was directly ignored by Jiang Yuan.
After hearing the news, Jiang Yuan couldn't restrain his mood and became a little excited.
Not to mention that this program is really suitable for the promotion of his new album.
Being able to participate in the recording of this program also represents a deeper meaning.
That is official recognition.
Jiang Yuan made a comeback after her house collapsed last year. Although she is known as the strongest post-disaster reconstruction in the entertainment industry, she has received many invitations to program evenings.
But among these invitations to cooperate, the most outstanding ones are the invitations from satellite TV and not even one from official channels.
The program "National Style and New Rhythm" happens to be a program broadcast on the official channel.
Jiang Yuan successfully passed the trial, which also represents a signal.
In fact, a collapsed house of Jiang Yuan's nature may be considered big, but small is still considered small.
After all, it was just a private relationship that was exposed, and what was criticized the most was the scumbag's seamless connection.
After the collapse of the house, Jiang Yuan's timely response reduced some of his influence, and his subsequent output of works also successfully diverted some of his attention.
The more critical point is that when Jiang Yuan appeared on major programs, he got along fairly well with his ex-girlfriends.
It was not torn unsightly, further reducing the impact of the event.
However, even if Jiang Yuan had not collapsed before, it would not be easy to pass the review of "Guofeng New Rhythm".
Jiang Yuan is still considered one of the top people at present, and the word "top class" is exactly the most unstable factor. After all, most of the people who collapse houses are top people.
The reason why Jiang Yuan passed the trial was also because Jiang Yuan was a top-notch person who had failed, which made people feel reassured.
Another more important aspect is that the program "National Style New Rhythm" has gained a good reputation and is in urgent need of a person with traffic to drive the program and expand its influence.
Jiang Yuan's appearance is just right. It can not only bring traffic to the program, but also the work is consistent with the program.
It was unanimously decided to let Jiang Yuan record two episodes of the show first to see the response.
"When will the recording start? What should I do to prepare for it?" Jiang Yuan asked.
"The recording time is in two weeks. I have to go on a business trip. Sun Tao said he will communicate with you about the specific matters." Zhang Qing replied.
Jiang Yuan nodded and quickly calmed down.
Tony also came to Jiang Yuan to help with makeup, and then the photo shoot began.
This set of photos of Jiang Yuan is in ancient costume, dressed in white and with her hair tied up in a high bun.
The photographer was full of praise while taking the photo.
A series of exaggerated titles came out of the photographer's mouth.
Zhang Qing and other studio employees also had surprised expressions when they saw Jiang Yuan's costume.
After this group of photos were taken, the album photo shooting work came to an end for the time being.
After all, it is difficult to put together sixteen sets of high-quality makeup at once, and the styling design will also take some time to prepare.
The day after the photo shoot was over was the audition day for "Want to See You".
Jiang Yuan arrived at Xingyuan Entertainment early and met a group of familiar faces headed by He Jing.
The assistant director, producer, etc. of "Want to See You" are all the same members of the original crew of "The Temptation of Going Home".
Jiang Yuan greeted him familiarly and sat down next to He Jing.
"I'm in such a good mood? Is it because the "Big Fish" music video has been played more than 100 million times?" He Jing asked with a smile.
"Has it exceeded 100 million?" Jiang Yuan was a little surprised when he heard this.
He was in a good mood again because he was about to participate in the recording of "National Style New Rhythm".
He also contacted Sun Tao last night and learned that the filming plan for the next episode of the show coincided with a song from his new album, and he felt even better.
As for the response to the music video of "Big Fish" in the week since it was released, Jiang Yuan only knows that it is very popular, and the music video of "Big Fish" has also dominated the charts for a week.
"I just saw the hot search, and I was chatting with Lao Li and the others." He Jing handed the phone to Jiang Yuan.
The entry reads #"Big Fish" mv has been played over 100 million times online#
Lao Li is the producer, and he also spoke at this time, "This MV is indeed very well done, and the reviews from the industry are also very high."
The MV for "Big Fish" has indeed always been popular, and its reputation is so good that it has exploded.
Basically it's all praise.
And thanks to the fact that the entire film is only six minutes long, many people have already watched it.
Some animation fans even think that Jiang Yuan should concentrate on animation instead of filming any TV series.
The work team working with Jiang Yuan also shared similar ideas with Jiang Yuan.
In fact, Jiang Yuan has also considered this.
After all, animation production does not require Jiang Yuan himself to star, so the workload is relatively smaller.
It’s just that I haven’t found a suitable script yet, so I’m just considering it.
However, as an MV, the number of views on a single platform exceeded 100 million in one week.
Without water injection, this result is already very strong.
As the first warm-up for the new album, the effect is indeed very good.
Many people feel that Jiang Yuan's upcoming album to be released in the second half of the year will be a very ambitious album.
In fact, this is indeed the case. Jiang Yuan’s new album is intended to be grand.
Seeing the achievements of the music video, Jiang Yuan's already good mood suddenly became even better.
"I'll share some good news with you." He Jing put away his phone and said again.
"What good news?" Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect there to be good news.
"One is the ratings of "The Temptation of Going Home" on the Peninsula, which exceeded 15. This result has exceeded most of their local dramas."
"When the show is finished, the ratings will most likely reach 20 points," He Jing said.
Jiang Yuan nodded, rather unsure about the news.
After all, Peninsula is just that big. It only has a ratings rating of over 15, and it’s not a huge hit.
Seeing that Jiang Yuan didn't react much, He Jing was a little puzzled. When he knew the news, he was actually quite happy.
"There is also some very important good news." He Jing once again introduced the topic.
"What?" Jiang Yuan became more energetic when he heard the word "big words".
"'The Temptation of Going Home' is going to be on satellite TV!" He Jingyan said concisely and comprehensively.
Jiang Yuan was really stunned this time.
"The Temptation of Going Home" was launched online in the form of webcast, despite the rapid development of the times.
However, satellite TV still occupies a place, especially "The Temptation of Going Home", which focuses on the market and also includes middle-aged and elderly people.
Being on satellite TV not only means that the performance of the series will be even more explosive.
It also means that the series has successfully created a large amount of revenue.
While Jiang Yuan was still dazed, Lao Li and others had already begun to celebrate.
"How is it? Is this good news?" He Jing asked.
"Yes, it's very important." Jiang Yuan nodded.
"What's even more important is that more than one satellite TV station has bought the broadcasting rights." He Jing dropped another bombshell before Jiang Yuan could react.
Good news came one after another, and Jiang Yuan was already a little numb.
It's good news after all.
Today's audition for "Want to Meet You" kicked off with a lot of good news.
