The famous stars that Mubai Entertainment can find are Tao Yaoyao, Qian Duoduo, Lin Xue and Shang Ran, but they are the only ones.
It is obviously not enough for a TV series to rely on five people. We must also consider whether the characters and actors are suitable. Not all characters are universal.
For example, if a murderer-type character is played by someone with thin skin and tender flesh but no aura, the figure, temperament, and demeanor will all be very different. This is not the same type of actor, and naturally they will not fit.
If there are no other stars to play the remaining roles, who should they look for?
Isn't it possible to find a famous newcomer to star?
Jiaxing didn't believe that Mubai Entertainment was doing this. A large part of the reason why "Struggle" was successful was that it was supported by well-known actors and veteran actors, not just the outstanding performances of a few leading actors.
If Mubai Entertainment's new drama still uses new actors, not to mention the issue of popularity, the quality will also be very worrying.
There is no problem with Chen Mubai, but the acting skills of the other three are still a bit green, which can also be seen in "Struggle", but the flaws are not concealed. After all, the story is the main focus, and there are a bunch of veteran actors to support it.
But if there are all newcomers, this problem will be infinitely magnified, and problems will definitely occur.
Based on this consideration, Jiaxing believes that they have strangled the lifeblood of Mubai Entertainment, and they believe that Mubai Entertainment will definitely surrender!
Unless they stop filming this drama, they will continue to film it in the future. It is impossible to keep filming online dramas or rely on sitcoms like "Dick Man" to survive.
This doesn't require any well-known actors, it doesn't matter if the supporting actors are all newcomers.
Jiaxing's abacus was loud, but what they eliminated was the correct answer...
"Jiaxing takes action!"
Lu Fang came in and told Chen Mubai with a solemn expression.
"None of the celebrities we've talked about can come!"
"I know. Yu Fei just told me that he is an artist from Jiaxing and he received instructions from his superiors." Chen Mubai replied.
"I finally took action. This was all what I expected."
Lu Fang said: "Would you like to try other artists?"
"Let's hire new people. Now that Jiaxing has taken action, we still have this energy."
Chen Mubai is not worried about the newcomers' acting skills. From the day the company was established, he has trained trainees and has always made acting training his first goal. They are still good.
Because the company does not cultivate popular stars, there is no need to practice singing and dancing. Instead, it focuses on performance, so the basics are pretty good. The rest is training by the director, which is not a big deal.
The main trainees are all young people, and there is still a lack of middle-aged people to support the team.
After all, the roles of both parents cannot be played by young people. The gap in all aspects is too great, and young people cannot act like middle-aged people.
"We still need to find some middle-aged and older actors!" Chen Mubai thought.
Tang Guoqiang and Cai Yinghua, who worked together before, are relatively well-known middle-aged and elderly actors. Now they can't appear in this drama. Jiaxing's influence is still very great.
When "Struggle" cast them, it was also to gain fame and let the audience know their acting responsibilities, so that they would not simply distrust the four leading actors.
Now "Struggle" has proven that the four of them have no problem with their acting skills. Although they are young, they are enough to star in TV series.
For other middle-aged and elderly characters, we can only choose veteran actors with acting skills, which may have a certain impact on the drama, but there is no other way.
The cast of this show is basically composed of newcomers, and the veteran actors are all unknowns. The momentum of this drama is much smaller, and it can only rely on word-of-mouth to slowly ferment.
At least as far as the media is concerned, the cast of "Struggle" is much larger than the cast of "The Age of Naked Marriage".
Perhaps when it premieres, only fans or a few people who believe in Chen Mubai's ability will watch it. It won't be as sensational as "Struggle" and the premiere ratings won't be so high.
But Chen Mubai believes that it can rely on word-of-mouth fermentation, and then the TV series will slowly become popular. It just takes time.
He will not surrender to Jiaxing, he wants to prove to everyone that even if Jiaxing targets him, he can still rise!
"Brother Lu, find some middle-aged and elderly actors with good acting skills. It doesn't matter whether they are famous or not. Our company can sign contracts with them and let them play any relevant roles in the future!" Chen Mubai said.
"Okay." Lu Fang nodded.
Mubai Entertainment will definitely develop in film and television dramas in the future, and works will be indispensable. If there are such roles, it doesn't mean that they can't be cast by their own family members.
"Forget about all the actors who can't come. We will find trainees to replace them internally. I will be responsible for this and find the right people myself." Chen Mubai directed in an orderly manner: "Tomorrow's press conference will be as usual.
"
It's not a big deal. The posters of the main characters are the protagonists. I didn't do that much this time. It was just a precautionary measure. Now the effect is showing.
Originally, "The Age of Naked Marriage" did not have as many main characters as "Struggle", which actually reduced the workload.
After Chen Mubai finished his instructions, he went to the place where the trainees had classes to look for actors.
"Yang Guo, go worry about all the trainees and tell them that I will personally select the actors and make sure that they all show up."
This is equivalent to deciding the selection of actors. The reason why Chen Mubai asked Yang Guo to do it was to let the trainees understand that this is an opportunity, and those who are capable will naturally seize it.
...
"You know, Mr. Chen just personally gave the message that he will be selecting the actors for the new drama in a while!" a trainee said in surprise.
"Tomorrow is the press conference for the new drama. I remember Sister Liu told me that the actors have already been selected, so why are they still looking for us?"
"Maybe it's a supporting role that doesn't play much?"
"No matter what, this is an opportunity!"
"Yes, this is still a TV series. There were several people who appeared in "Diaosi Men" before, and now they have some fans. I am very envious of them."
"Everyone, please seize this opportunity, otherwise you won't know when it will be next time."
Several trainees were discussing together. When they heard the news, they gathered immediately.
After nearly a year of practice, they have strengthened their physical strength and taken acting classes in order to debut and hone their roles. Now this opportunity has come.
The company's trainees are divided into two types: singers and actors. They belong to the actor category, while the singers do not have the same teacher as them. After all, their majors are different.
"let's work hard together!"
"Um!"
Thanks to the company system of Mubai Entertainment, these trainees all have a good relationship with each other. They are not as fiercely competitive as other companies, just to compete for debut spots and start making money.
When Mubai Entertainment first recruited these trainees, they made it clear that all of them must pass professional qualifications before they have the opportunity to star in films and TV series. Otherwise, they will not be given the opportunity. Performance is the foundation.
Moreover, these trainees are not particularly handsome in appearance. Some of them are pretty, some are average-looking, and some even look very vicious (professional bad guys).
If this were placed in other companies, I'm afraid they would be wiped out in the first round...
One of the conditions for a traffic star to debut is looks. Without looks, everything is in vain, so the company's training guidelines are different, and the culture is also different.
The trainees of Mubai Entertainment work hard professionally, support each other, and often practice in private, so they all have a good relationship.
This time, we all cherish this opportunity. No matter who gets it, they will send blessings to each other.
An hour later, the teacher who taught the trainees acting skills brought Chen Mubai to the training room and began to select trainees.
All the trainees are here, and they have been preparing for this moment.
"Hello, Mr. Chen!" everyone shouted excitedly.
Chen Mubai is their idol. They are all young people. Chen Mubai has reached great heights by relying on his own strength, so they will naturally admire him.
Whether it's the talent of the song or the identity of the screenwriter, director, and actor, they all did a great job.
They also watched the drama "Struggle", and Chen Mubai's performance in it was really superb, which made them really envious.
The acting teacher also took out some of the clips to analyze Chen Mubai's performance, starting with his movements, expressions and eyes, and explained them layer by layer.
And combined with the situation at the time to explain why the performance is like this, it is to give them some thinking, let them find the feeling of the character in a specific situation, and then perform it.
After the teacher's analysis, they realized that a scene that didn't seem very important had so many levels of performance, which was enough to show how advanced the actor was!
Among them, as a new actor, Chen Mubai's acting skills were better than those of veteran actor Yu Fei. This was the conclusion reached by the teacher, and it surprised everyone at the same time.
Among these trainees, they know Yu Fei and have seen his plays.
They didn't expect that Chen Mubai would surpass Yu Fei in his first acting performance. This talent is truly enviable and amazing!
Chen Mubai is not only awesome himself, he also trains very good actors. Tao Yaoyao, Qian Duoduo and others performed well under his hands.
Whether it is to win the starring role or to improve their acting skills, everyone hopes to be valued by Chen Mubai.
"Hello everyone, you all know what happened today. Everyone has a chance to perform. Everyone should perform to their heart's content."
Chen Mubai encouraged: "Those who were not selected this time will continue to work hard. There is always a chance. Sometimes you are not selected, which does not mean that you are not outstanding. It may be that others are more suitable for the role than you. The match between the actor and the role is also important."
Quite important.”
Chen Mubai's words are true. Otherwise, why do many directors cast new actors in a drama? Sometimes it's not that there are no actors to star, but that the director hopes that the actors can match the characters in the script and find new actors who match the characteristics of the characters.
For example, in the previous life, Lao Mouzi discovered *** after having Gong Li. It wasn't that he couldn't find Gong Li, it was just that compared to the character in the new script, that character's temperament or other characteristics were more suitable for ***.
.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gone through a nationwide audition to film Love in the Hawthorn Tree and found Zhou Dongyu, a newcomer who was still in high school and not even close to the actors.
The reason why she was chosen was because of Zhou Dongyu’s characteristics, which made Lao Mouzi think that this was the female character in his heart!
