Although they just met, Wu Jing feels very good about Duan Long.
The reason is that the other party has actually watched his movie.
Except for the two films where he was a walk-on, Duan Long was able to name Wu Jingyan's character and the approximate plot ending in several other films. With this level of understanding, he could be considered a senior follower, not just a fan of Wu Jing.
As for whether Duan Long checked the information and deliberately stayed here to please him, Wu Jing thought it was just a joke.
It's not that he belittles himself. With his current fame, it's really not that big. Besides, it's useless for Duan Long to please him. He himself has to ask others to help introduce resources.
What's more, except for his senior brothers Wu Yue and Shanhe, few people knew that Wu Jing came to Shanhe to audition.
This unexpected "fan meeting" can only be said to be fate...
Because of this relationship, Duan Long and Wu Jing quickly became familiar with each other.
Wu Jing was newly arrived and had not been in the mainland for a long time. He hurriedly came to realize the news after receiving the news. He did not know much about the situation of the "Bright Sword" crew. After Duan Long learned about it, he took the initiative to tell Wu Jing the "intelligence" he knew.
"Currently, the male lead Li Yunlong and the male lead Chu Yunfei have been decided. The two female leads have also been found. Some important roles such as Monk Wei and Zhang Dabiao have been selected.
There are still undetermined roles left. The most important one is the second male lead Zhao Gang, followed by "Duan Peng" who you want to compete with, "Yamamoto Kazuki" who I auditioned for, as well as deputy commander Xing, cavalry company commander Sun Desheng,
Chang Naichao, the temporary commander of the Seventh Division, and several Japanese officers.
Most of the people in our conference room are going to the supporting characters in the back, and there is a small conference room next to it, and they are all going to Zhao Gang."
"Who is there?"
After Shanhe contacted Wu Jing for the audition, he sent Wu Jing a simplified version of the script outline for "Bright Sword".
On the plane to Quancheng, Wu Jing had already read the outline of the script. Although there was not much information in it, it at least made him aware of the various roles in "Bright Sword". Naturally, he was familiar with Zhao Gang, the second male lead. At this time, he heard about the audition next door.
, aroused some curiosity.
Duan Long didn't hide anything from him and spit out a few names. Wu Jing was secretly speechless.
The people Duan Long mentioned are all domestic first-line male stars or well-known and powerful actors. Even if Wu Jing is in Xiangjiang, he has often heard of their names.
With the status of these people, they are always guests of any production crew they go to, but now they are auditioning for the second male lead in "Bright Sword".
Even though he had expected Zuo Le's influence, Wu Jing still felt a little shocked when he saw it with his own eyes.
He is worthy of being the number one director of domestic TV dramas, and he is really well-arranged.
…………
Seeing Wu Jing's surprised look, Duan Long smiled slightly.
When he first learned that so many big names were coming, he was even more surprised than Wu Jing.
But it was precisely because of this that Duan Long strengthened his confidence and must win the role of Kazuki Yamamoto.
Although the character of Yamamoto Kazuki is a villain, his presence in "Bright Sword" is very strong, and even the biggest climax in the whole drama is caused by him.
The male protagonist Li Yunlong has two natural enemies in the play. In the later stage, it is Chu Yunfei who falls in love and kills each other. In the early stage, it is Yamamoto Kazuki who is proficient in special operations.
"Old Duan, if you perform this role well, it will definitely improve your reputation greatly. Then I will say a few words for you in front of the chairman. It will not be a big problem to sign with Shanhe, and you may even have a chance to be highly praised by the company.
."
Duan Long's mind echoed what his old friend Kong Sheng said to him before he came to audition.
Kong Sheng is his old friend. When he made his debut film "Police", Duan Long played the second male lead in it.
Later, Duan Long also performed in several of Kong Sheng's works. The two brothers had such a good relationship that after Kong Sheng came to power in Shanhe, he immediately prepared to win over his brother Duan Long.
Duan Long has already played a role in "Serious Cases Part 2" directed by Kong Sheng. He didn't have many roles, but he was a digger. If a third film is made, this character is likely to evolve into a big boss.
After filming "Serious Cases Part 2", Kong Sheng recommended Duan Long to the crew of "Bright Sword".
Originally, Chu Yunfei and the other two Iron Triangles were targeted, but Zuo Le had his heart set on something, so he could only retreat and attack Yamamoto Kazuki.
It just so happens that Kazuki Yamamoto is set up as a serious, persistent, calm and calm soldier, which is somewhat consistent with Duan Long's own personality. Coupled with his good acting skills, Kong Sheng is optimistic that his old friend can win this role.
"Brother Duan, it's our turn."
Duan Long, who was lost in memories, was awakened by Wu Jing. He looked at a man wearing a cap who appeared in the conference room. He was the assistant director of the "Bright Sword" crew who coordinated the audition.
"Is Zhao Gang's casting over there over? Who won?"
Wu Jing shook his head: "It's definitely impossible to tell this on the spot. They are all big names with high reputations. It would hurt face to directly announce that someone else has failed in the competition."
"Too."
Duan Long nodded and said, "I guess I can't hide it for long. We should be convinced after the audition."
"Um……"
When Wu Jing just wanted to speak, Manager Yi, the assistant director, started calling people: "First place, Wu Jing."
"arrive."
Wu Jing responded, and Duan Long gave him a cheering gesture. Wu Jing smiled, turned around and left the conference room with the assistant director.
…………
In a room not far from the conference room, Zuo Le frowned and sat behind the table. Next to him sat Yan Kui, the president of Shanhe, Shang Qianwu, the head of the screenwriting department, and Li Youbin, the male lead of "Bright Sword".
The four of them were discussing the final candidate for Zhao Gang at this time. Shang Qianwu and Li Youbin each insisted on their own opinions. Yan Kui excused himself as a layman and refused to help, so the decision-making power was left to Zuo Le.
Zuo Le thought about it for a long time and finally said: "Entai is a little more scholarly and angry, more like a scholar than a soldier. He Zhengjun and Teacher He are relatively more suitable for my expectations of Zhao Gang."
Zuo Le personally spoke, and the casting of Zhao Gang is a certainty!
Li Youbin, who supported He Zhengjun, smiled happily. Shang Qianwu, who supported Entai, was a little unhappy, but because of Zuo Le, he did not dare to refute.
President Yan Kui also had some criticisms about Zuo Le's choice. It's not that he supports Yu Entai, but that he believes that the important roles in Zuo Le's new drama should be given priority to Shanhe's own people.
However, now, "Bright Sword" has two male leads, two male leads, three male leads, and the three most important roles are all played by outsiders. This makes President Yan, who is determined to grow the company, a little frustrated.
However, Yan Kui also knows that the casting of Shanhe dramas, especially Zuo Le's new dramas, has always been personally controlled by Zuo Le.
Asking him to discuss it was out of respect for Yan Kui, the president, and it did not mean that he could interfere with Zuo Le's decision. This was one of the reasons why Yan Kui didn't speak just now.
At Shanhe Pictures, no one has changed what Zuo Le has decided, and no one dares to change it...
