The news that the big movie "The Swordsman" will hold actor auditions was first announced by Lu Chen on his personal blog, and then further confirmed by the official blog of Chenfei Media, which also announced the selection criteria and competition rules.
All adults aged 18 to 35 years old, regardless of male or female origin, can sign up as long as they are healthy and have basic skills, such as learning traditional martial arts, Sanda, taekwondo, judo, kickboxing, boxing, etc.
The first audition adopts the online registration method. Applicants need to fill in a piece of basic personal information and attach a short video that can prove that they have learned martial arts.
The deadline for registration is January 25th, and the results of the online selection will be notified on January 28th. All those who pass the audition must come to Beijing before February 25th to participate in the program recording that will officially start on March 1st.
A group of outstanding people participated in the filming of "Swordsman".
Chenfei Media further revealed that the talent show "Eight Directions" has decided to cooperate with the CCTV Variety Channel, so the contestants will definitely be able to appear on the CCTV stage.
In addition, Chenfei Media will also be responsible for all contestants’ round-trip travel expenses and food and accommodation during the recording of the program, and will provide different rewards based on ranking, and even the opportunity to sign with Chenfei Media!
As soon as these news were announced, they immediately caused a huge sensation. The movie "The Swordsman", CCTV Variety Show Channel, Chenfei Media, Lu Chen... even one of these keywords is enough to attract attention. Now they are all gathered together.
Together, it’s hard to take your eyes away!
When Meng Hu got the news, there were only a few days left before the online registration deadline. This was mainly because the management of the martial arts school was too strict, and he could only watch TV news for half an hour at night.
But after all, the martial arts school is not a military restricted area and cannot be truly isolated from the world, so the news still spreads in, and many students know about it, and there is already an undercurrent surging!
Last year, in the library of Hengyang Martial Arts School, the book most borrowed by students was "Swordsman". Because of the special subject matter, this set of martial arts novels was included in the school's book list, and it became the most popular book.
A popular recreational read for students.
Many students were fascinated by it, and even because there were too many monks and too few people, a large number of copies were made and circulated among their classmates.
Therefore, in Hengyang Martial Arts School, the original work of "The Swordsman" has great influence. The students are all passionate teenagers, and they are most easily infected and moved by the martial arts sentiments in the book.
It's just that the world in the book is illusory and unreal after all. Just like the popular online novels, people mainly use them to relieve their depression and troubles.
However, now an opportunity suddenly appears in front of them, saying that they can become a movie actor in "The Swordsman". You can imagine the temptation it has for them!
Meng Hu has also watched "The Swordsman". He originally had no dreams of becoming a star, but until such an opportunity appeared in front of him, the desire in his heart seemed to spread like weeds.
Now, he actually passed the online selection!
Meng Hu was not the only one who passed the online selection. Among the people sitting together, there were four others who were equally lucky. The losers were certainly sad, but the winners could not suppress their excitement.
"tiger…"
Li Dongyang said happily: "Let's go to the capital together after the New Year!"
He and Meng Hu are both from Gan Province, and their hometowns are only over a hundred kilometers apart. They are real cousins, so they became good friends in the martial arts school, and he also passed the online selection.
The actor selection criteria for "The Swordsman" are actually very advantageous for martial arts school students like them, because the conditions are fully met and they have steadily surpassed ordinary people in many aspects, so they passed so many.
Of course, the online selection is relatively simple and easy. When you go to Beijing to participate in the audition, a large number of people will definitely be rejected. The program selection must be the best among the best.
But for these eighteen or nineteen-year-old boys, there is no word failure in their heads. Even if they know that there is little hope, a free trip to the capital is totally worth it!
Unexpectedly, Meng Hu shook his head and said, "No, I'm going to the capital after my winter vacation the day after tomorrow!"
Everyone was shocked, and Li Dongyang couldn't help but widen his eyes: "The official audition only starts on March 1st. Where are you going to live now? Aren't you going home for the New Year?"
He wondered if Meng Hu was so excited that he was talking nonsense.
In fact, Meng Hu was very calm at this moment and said: "I have thought about it. It is best to buy high-speed rail tickets to Beijing now. It will be difficult to buy tickets after the Chinese New Year. If there is a delay..."
The Spring Festival travel season has begun, and as major colleges and universities go on winter vacation, domestic traffic will inevitably usher in a new wave of peaks.
For example, in Beijing, at least more than 10 million people leave Beijing to go home for the New Year every year. High-speed rail tickets to all parts of the country are extremely popular, but the opposite is true for those going to Beijing. You can buy them on the same day.
But this is not the most important reason for Meng Hu to give up going home to the capital: "I heard that temporary workers in the capital are very popular during the Chinese New Year, and the wages are also high. I used to work as a part-time waiter or deliver express, and after a month, at least
Isn’t it ten times better to earn thousands of dollars and send it back to support your family than to spend money back home?”
Li Dongyang and others couldn't help but look at each other, no one expected Meng Hu to be so considerate and mature.
"besides…"
Meng Hu lowered his voice and said, "Don't you have to go through seven levels in the official audition? I want to go there early to find out what the details of these seven levels are, so be prepared in advance!"
At this time, everyone was horrified. Li Dongyang's face changed for a moment, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Tiger, then I will go to the capital with you to celebrate the New Year!"
Meng Hu was stunned: "Then how did you tell your family?"
Li Dongyang is the only son in the family, and his family conditions are much better than his own. He does not need to rely on part-time work to supplement his income: "If there is any news over there, I will definitely tell you as soon as possible."
Li Dongyang smiled and patted his shoulder and said: "I have decided to go out and have a try!"
The other teenagers looked at each other and made a decision in their hearts.
Two days later, Hengyang Martial Arts School had its winter vacation. Meng Hu, Li Dongyang and several classmates returned the train tickets they had originally purchased and purchased new high-speed train tickets to the capital.
They walked together and inadvertently became a tiny countercurrent in this year's Spring Festival travel rush.
But they are not unique, there are more people with the same dream, coming to the capital from different directions, forming a new countercurrent!——
