Even though he was mentally prepared, Jiang Yuan's heart skipped a beat when he heard Wang Xicun's name.
There is no doubt that among the ex-girlfriends he has met, Wang Xicun is the one Jiang Yuan least wants to see again.
Mainly because the first few encounters between Jiang Yuan and Wang Xicun were somewhat awkward.
The first time we met was at a party. Jiang Yuan was singing "Love Transfer" on the stage, and Wang Xicun was watching from the audience.
After the performance, Jiang Yuan saw a video on the Internet of Wang Xicun's reaction to being choked by his singing, and felt a little embarrassed.
It became even more embarrassing after that, and Wang Xicun was asked to award him and Ye Xuanqi the Best Love Song Award.
"Hello everyone, I am Wang Xicun." Wang Xicun's voice woke Jiang Yuan from his memories.
He raised his head and saw Wang Xicun standing in front of him handsomely.
Wang Xicun started out as an actor in his early years. Later, he participated in music programs and turned into a singer and released records.
Jiang Yuan subconsciously looked at Wang Xicun, and a feeling of surprise could not help but rise from the bottom of his heart.
In Jiang Yuan's memory, Wang Xi has always been a sweet image with great energy and a good-looking smile.
But now at a glance, Wang Xicun has a restrained and elegant temperament, while retaining the vitality of the past.
A combination of contradictions, full of charm.
When Jiang Yuan looked at Wang Xicun, Wang Xicun also looked at Jiang Yuan a few times.
After the first few meetings, Wang Xicun had actually given up his obsession.
The main reason for coming to audition this time is indeed because the official announcement of the drama "Want to Meet You" was very loud.
In addition, after reading the script, Wang Xicun also believed that this would be a work that was very suitable for his transformation.
Of course, a small part of the reason was because of Jiang Yuan. The previous few meetings made her feel a sense of strangeness in Jiang Yuan, and she had the urge to get to know him again.
Although the two looked at each other for less than a few seconds, it seemed like a long time in the silent environment.
He Jing and others had quietly begun to look back and forth at the two of them.
Jiang Yuan even gave Wang Xicun some points without knowing it.
On the one hand, although I don’t know how the acting skills are, the image is absolutely consistent.
On the other hand, they noticed a subtle spark from the glances between Jiang Yuan and Jiang Yuan, and felt that such a chemical reaction was excellent.
After Wang Xicun completed his self-introduction, he began to perform.
After signing a confidentiality agreement, Wang Xicun got part of the script about the two characters Huang Yuxuan and Chen Yunru.
I selected a few test scenes from them, and the first scene shocked Jiang Yuan and others.
Because before, Song Ya and Wen Zhixian basically performed a part of Huang Yuxuan's performance alone, and then performed a part of Chen Yunru.
But as soon as Wang Xicun arrived, he immediately had the most difficult scene, playing the dialogue between Huang Yuxuan and Chen Yunru.
A scene with strong dramatic tension requires not only two characters to be played at the same time.
You also have to have a dialogue with yourself and grasp the scale of role switching, which is very difficult to grasp.
There are also extremely high requirements for actors' sense of belief.
If you are not careful, it will look like you have some serious illness.
But no embarrassing situation occurred, and Wang Xicun's performance only surprised everyone.
It can be seen from Wang Xicun's performance that a lot of effort was put into this scene.
In the process of talking to myself, the different characters, manners and tone were accurately and quickly segmented, and they were very well grasped.
It felt like watching a person really suffer from split personality. Jiang Yuan's hair stood up as he looked at it.
This scene alone amazed He Jing and others.
Because almost all the audience's previous impressions of Wang Xicun were that he had acting skills but not much.
In addition, Wang Xicun has also transformed into a singer in the past two years, and everyone's impression of Wang Xicun's acting skills is even weaker.
Therefore, this scene was completely beyond the expectations of He Jing and others, and the senses were a bit exploded.
After this seemingly divisive scene ended, Wang Xicun continued to interpret the feelings of the two characters at different stages.
After the audition, Jiang Yuan looked at He Jing and others with expressions of praise on their faces.
After giving unanimous replies to Wang Xicun, Song Ya and others, He Jing and others quickly fell into a state of extreme confusion.
In terms of the performances of these three, it's really hard to choose.
"There's another one I haven't read yet. Let's go through it together and then make a choice." Yao Zheng said.
The last Xiaohua actor came on stage to audition. Compared to the first three, his acting skills were just good enough.
The other party also seemed to feel that with the participation of Song Ya and Wen Zhixian, his chances were not very great, and his preparations were relatively insufficient.
Successfully prevented He Jing and others from becoming more entangled.
"Okay, let's share our opinions first." After the audition, He Jing said.
"It's hard to choose, I think they are all excellent. Needless to say, Song Ya and Zhixian, Wang Xicun really scared me a bit." Yao Zheng said.
"I think actually whoever plays the three roles, the effect should not be too bad." Lao Li also said.
Several other staff members also have various opinions.
"Jiang Yuan, what do you think?" Finally, He Jing focused on Jiang Yuan, who had never spoken.
With everyone watching, Jiang Yuan shook his head, "I'm too confused and can't make a choice."
"In this case, we will start auditioning for other roles first. Everyone will continue to think about it carefully and give me an answer tonight." He Jing finally made a decision.
The auditions continued. In addition to the starring role, there were also many actors auditioning for other roles.
The auditions need to be divided into several days, and the first day today is quite full.
It wasn't until eight o'clock in the evening that Jiang Yuan and others finished today's audition.
Although the audition for "Want to Meet You" was private, so many actors and actresses came and went from the Xingyuan Entertainment Building, which really attracted attention.
Many reporters also came after hearing the news, so many Reuters pictures of the audition were posted on the Internet, sparking quite a discussion.
[Isn’t this audition lineup a bit too strong?]
[Song Ah and Moon Ji Hyun are here, there should be at least one member of the original cast, right?]
[Let me go, Tang Hengyu actually went to the second audition. 】
[The appeal is so great, so many people want to compete for a second role.]
[I heard that someone saw Wang Xicun in Xingyuan. I don’t know if it’s true or not.]
[It would be great if Wang Xicun starred in it. I was touched by Jiang Zha’s song "Love Transfer" before. 】
[Zhao Mengjing also went to audition, it seems, hurry up and hurry up.]
——
The heated discussion on the Internet was somewhat beyond the expectations of He Jing and others.
After all, this was indeed revealed by the media themselves, and He Jing had no intention of using actors to promote the series.
In the evening, after Jiang Yuan got home, he received a call from He Jing.
"Yao Zheng and the others have already sent me their opinions." He Jing said after the call was connected.
"So who did you choose?" Jiang Yuan asked curiously.
The two were talking about the final ownership of the role of Huang Yuxuan.
"Tell me your opinion first. Who do you think is the most suitable?" He Jing asked anyway.
"From an image point of view, Song Ya and the others are actually similar, and their acting skills are also very good..."
Jiang Yuan was interrupted by He Jing in the middle of his words, "Stop talking about that kind of car wheel, just tell me your name."
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan pondered for a while, going through the performance of Song Ya and the others today in his mind.
"I feel like Wang Xicun is more suitable." Jiang Yuan reported his name.
"What's the reason?" He Jing asked.
"It's just her performance that shocked me, and it fits the character very well." Jiang Yuan told the truth.
"Everyone's thoughts are almost the same as yours." He Jing also said.
"And among the reasons everyone mentioned, there is also a more utilitarian part. They think the chemistry between you and Wang Xicun is good."
"And this is the first time you have collaborated. Using this for publicity will create a buzz." He Jing continued to add.
"So this is the result, right?" Jiang Yuan asked.
"If you have any objections, you can directly veto it with one vote," He Jing said.
"That's not necessary. Just go with what everyone thinks. Of course, you have to choose the most suitable one in all aspects." Jiang Yuan didn't pay much attention to this point.
"Then let's decide on Wang Xicun." He Jing finally decided.
Then he hung up the phone with a headache. He Jing still needed to think about how to reply to Song Ya and Wen Zhixian.
After Jiang Yuan hung up the phone, he began to figure out his acting skills.
I watched so many performances today, and while I felt a sense of crisis, I also gained a lot, which I need to digest.
After finalizing several important roles, Jiang Yuan basically went to and from the audition site every day in the next few days, and finally successfully finalized the cast of "Want to See You".
After the cast was finalized, He Jing also coordinated with the schedule of several leading actors to determine the official start time.
"Before the official start of filming, we are going to hold a script reading meeting. Zhang Qing and I have checked the time. Remember to attend when the time comes."
After the last audition, He Jing said this to Jiang Yuan.
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan felt an even greater sense of urgency in his heart.
The crew has made full preparations in advance, and there is only less than half a month left before filming starts.
After watching the auditions for several days, Jiang Yuan felt very complicated.
Some supporting roles are basically played by veteran actors.
I probably sat in the screenwriter's seat and rationally evaluated it, and finally discovered that I was the one with the worst acting skills.
In this case, it is difficult not to feel complicated, and I have also made a decision to spend more efforts in preparation in the days before starting the machine.
"Remember to pack your luggage tomorrow. The recording of "New Chinese Rhythm" will probably take about a week."
After the audition for "Want to See You" was over, Zhang Qing sent Jiang Yuan downstairs and explained.
"I know, Sun Tao told me." Jiang Yuan nodded, then said goodbye to Zhang Qing, opened the car door and walked upstairs.
Jiang Yuan has also fully understood the recording mode of the program "New Rhythm of China" through Sun Tao.
This program can be said to be a relatively slow-paced program, and it also invites senior figures from various fields to participate.
Usually, the program team goes to live in an ancient cultural city together, and within a week, everyone completes a work and displays it.
The works are required to be relevant to their respective fields and at the same time be able to better interpret the culture.
When different fields collide, there will always be a few works that stand out.
Jiang Yuan remembered that an ink painting was on the hot search list last week, causing quite a stir.
At the same time, although there is no overt competition in this program, there is still some implicit competition.
Sun Tao patched it up in advance, and the final work display still had some meaning of comparison.
Moreover, Jiang Yuan participated in the show as an artist, and there was a certain age difference with several other guests. Whether Jiang Yuan could integrate into the show better was also a concern for Sun Tao.
Jiang Yuan came to the study room while thinking about this.
Today's audition ended very early, and it was just dusk when Jiang Yuan got home.
Opening the curtains, the golden-red glow shone into the study. Jiang Yuan sat down at the desk and turned on the computer.
He was going to move another Agatha work that he had opened earlier.
The book "Roger's Mystery" is not only limited to China. It has caused quite a stir in the world of international mystery novels within a few months of its publication.
Under such a grand occasion, it has topped the monthly sales list of mystery novels in China for several consecutive months.
When Yang Chaochang reports the performance of his books to Jiang Yuan, he always mentions that sales exceeding one million should not be far away.
In fact, including the sales of translations, it has successfully exceeded one million copies.
In addition, "Suspect X" has recently been successfully shortlisted for several international awards.
Jiang Yuan is also preparing to strike while the iron is hot and continue to launch the Poirot series of works to further expand his reputation and influence.
Therefore, in the past two days, Yang Chao also made a bold ambition to deliver the new book within a month.
For the works after "Roger's Mystery", Jiang Yuan still chose a movie with a very good reputation.
His fingers danced quickly on the keyboard. Without thinking, Jiang Yuan's hand speed was amazing, and he typed out the opening chapter in a short time.
In addition, Grandma's mystery novels usually have around a hundred thousand words, so the workload of handling them is much easier than that of scripts.
Within one day of resting at home, most of it was completed.
On the weekend, after the break, Jiang Yuan showed up at the Shanghai Airport with a suitcase he had prepared in advance, preparing to head to the city where "Guo Feng New Rhythm" will be recorded.
This format of recording each episode in a different city is indeed in line with Sun Tao's style of program production.
Jiang Yuan appeared at the airport for the first time in a long time, and also uploaded his latest airport photo to Yuan Universe.
In addition to receiving a long list of compliments, many fans are also speculating about Jiang Yuan's trip to the airport.
But this time, "Guofeng New Rhythm" kept its confidentiality very well, and no news was revealed.
Moreover, Jiang Yuan got on the bus halfway, and no one associated Jiang Yuan with "New Rhythm of National Style", making Jiang Yuan's trip mysterious.
Amidst the speculation, Jiang Yuan boarded the plane, took off, and flew to the destination of his trip.
