Chapter 173 The turmoil continues
Xu Youyou couldn't help but doubt life.
After meeting so many strange people one after another, she felt that she was not here to be an audition judge, but to experience the diversity of species.
Seven contestants were auditioned one after another, but none of them made it to the waiting list.
Until the eighth player appears.
"Hello fellow judges, my name is Shu Yunling, and the role I am auditioning for today is Shi Xiangyun." The little girl with a long face and big eyes looks very smart and beautiful.
Xu Youyou just felt like it was dawn suddenly. There was no other reason. This girl was so beautiful. She lowered her head and looked at the little girl's resume. She was studying in a major and was now a freshman at the Shanghai Theater Academy. She had no experience in film and television dramas.
Xu Youyou did not ask the little girl to start performing immediately, but looked at Professor Wu.
Professor Wu has studied "Dream of Red Mansions" for most of his life. What is known to outsiders is that he admires and loves Shi Xiangyun the most. In this role, no one has more say than him.
"Little girl, please tell me about your understanding of the role." Professor Wu said gently.
Shu Yunling said: "Hello, judge, I have read through "Dream of Red Mansions" and feel that Shi Xiangyun is open-minded and optimistic, heroic yet charming..."
Seeing Shu Yunling talking eloquently, everyone couldn't help but nod. Compared with those incomprehensible people in front of her, at least she had read the original work seriously.
Ouyang Ouyang asked Shu Yunling to try out a scene. The little girl didn't act much and looked a little immature. It was really not good.
Shu Yunling also felt terrible after the performance, and her little face was full of anxiety.
"Yuyou, I want her to try Baoqin's role." Professor Wu said in a low voice.
Xu Youyou knew that Professor Wu was being polite to her, and immediately said: "Uncle Wu, if you think she is more suitable for Bao Qin, just bring it up."
Shu Yunling got another fragment of Xue Baoqin's script.
The audition effect is still not particularly good, but the acting skills can be gradually polished. It is rare to meet a player who fits Xue Baoqin's description and it is not easy to find.
Xu Youyou gave her a passing vote, and the other judges' choices were similar to hers.
"Congratulations on passing this round of screening." Xu Youyou said with a smile.
The little girl was so happy that she almost jumped up: "Thank you, thank you all the judges and teachers, thank you Teacher Xiao Song."
Xu Youyou couldn't help but laugh again: "Teacher Xiao Song, this is still your fan."
Song Zhibai smiled perfunctorily. Eight contestants came in, and seven of them said they were his fans.
Several more contestants came in one after another, and Xu Youyou looked familiar. They seemed to be Internet celebrities or actors who had already had works. The actor who had just finished the audition also had the title of "Short Drama Queen", so she couldn't help but ask Xie Ran.
Xie Ran's explanation is quite reasonable: "I asked people to rank the famous contestants at the front, so that our variety show would not make the audience give up after watching it for a few minutes."
Xu Youyou had no objection to this arrangement. After all, Xie Ran was a businessman and always wanted to maximize profits.
"Do all the contestants know about filming a variety show? Many of them are well-known, but they did not advance this time. I'm afraid they will cause trouble." Xu Youyou said. Xie Ran nodded and said: "In the invitation letter inviting them to attend the offline audition, I had people explain this in bold and black fonts. If they come, it means they choose to accept it."< br>
Xu Youyou breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was no dispute.
But the video clips from the scene that day were leaked and immediately started to spread online.
Whether Zheng Shuying or Liu Ye, they are not unknown actors. They have accumulated a group of fans for a long time. Such a high-level actor went to participate in the audition, but in the end failed, which is completely unacceptable to their fans. of.
"We can't let my sister play Lin Daiyu, and then use Xiaohong to insult people. Don't these people know what kind of celebrity our sister is?"
"That's it, my sister is so beautiful that she is asked to play the role of an attacker? Is she wrong? Isn't Lin Daiyu just a petty person? I think compared to Lin Daiyu, the person named Xu on the judges' table is even more petty!"< br>
"Who is this person named Xu? Why is she sitting in the main seat of the judges' table at such a young age? Even Director Ouyang and Song Zhibai coaxed her when they talked?"
"Sitting in this position at such a young age, who knows what tricks she has played."
Although there are several fans of actors and Internet celebrities who are trying their best, there are also some trolls who are fishing in troubled waters and trying their best to pour dirty water on Xu Youyou.
With such a rhythm, even Song Zhibai's fans became confused after watching it. They began to feel that Xu Youyou was holding back their brother, and thought that his brother should play Jia Baoyu instead of Liu Xianglian.
Xie Ran noticed this rhythm immediately, and then used the company's official Weibo to announce the identity of the judges.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Others, even Song Zhibai, can be said to be relevant practitioners, and only Xu Youyou and Xie Ran are considered leaders.
No matter how shameless the fans are, they don't dare to get angry at the official blog and ask them to fire the boss Xu Youyou.
There is another paragraph after the announcement on the official blog: "The company has a complete and clear plan for each artist. The company's artists do not pursue absolute protagonist status, but do their best to do their job as actors and complete every adaptation. role.”
The implication is that the role of Liu Xianglian is, in the company's view, a high enough compatibility with Song Zhibai.
Song Zhibai's Weibo also cooperated with the speech and released a video of his internal audition for the role. The role he wanted to participate in from the beginning was Liu Xianglian.
Throughout the entire incident, he spoke eloquently about his understanding of this role, and his sparkling appearance was obviously voluntary, not forced.
"To be honest, I didn't think Song Zhibai, a top player, was so outstanding before, but now with this move, I suddenly feel that his pattern is really different from other niche players."
"Yes, now other popular celebrities have started to encourage fans to break ranks since they joined the group, for fear that they would suffer a loss. Song Zhibai never does this kind of thing. In his eyes, he only has roles and no ranks."< br>
When the matter got to this point, it didn't take long for the official media to take the initiative to speak out and end the farce by saying, "Actors should compete for acting skills rather than positions."
As a result, this audition event has come into the public eye again, and many people flocked to the Leisure Short Drama Platform to watch the audition.
Firstly, they wanted to see whether the selection of characters was truly objective and fair. Secondly, they also hoped that the crew really wanted to make a successful film of Dream of Red Mansions.
It is equivalent to the fact that the TV series has attracted a lot of traffic attention before it has even started filming.
Xu Youyou couldn't help but look at Xie Ran: "Have you planned this for a long time?"
