Chapter 343 Dust falls to the ground
"Please invite the next actor to audition, Shu Chang..."
Shu Chang was very nervous. She wasn't nervous originally. She had experienced big scenes. But some younger actors kept crying, which made her want to cry too.
However, Shu Chang calmed down his mentality very well before the audition and tried to regain his composure.
Everyone knows that this audition is very important. It is said that the role of Xiaoyu is the female lead, and her role is no weaker than that of Cheng Long.
The family has talked a lot about what it would mean if she got such an important role.
Entering the audition hall is like walking into the door of judgment of fate. Shu Chang is about to accept the judgment of fate for the first time in his career as an actor.
Although Shu Chang is only fourteen years old this year, she is already a young actress.
"Director Gilbert, Director Nolan, Director Tang, Uncle Cheng Long, hello, I'm Shu Chang."
Shu Chang introduced himself: "When I was five years old, I appeared in TV series and movies, and since then I have appeared in many movies and TV series.
He has rich and professional acting experience and is very adaptable to life on set..."
Little Gilbert looked at Shu Chang's resume and asked, "Have you ever acted in "The Story of Little Phoenix"?"
"Uh, yes." Shu Chang asked cautiously: "Director, have you seen it?"
"That's right!" Little Gilbert finally admitted. He had indeed seen it. In his previous life, he was mainly impressed by Jiang Qinqin in it.
The childhood fairy in it is played by Shu Chang.
After a little understanding, little Gilbert motioned to the assistant director to get Shu Chang ready.
Shu Chang took over the script and was familiar with this type of audition performance. He immediately studied the script and prepared.
Almost five minutes later, Cheng Long matched her up and the two started performing.
Little Gilbert and Nolan watched the performance of the two, and Nolan praised: "If I want to talk about feelings, I think this girl is good."
"Will age be a problem?" Little Gilbert asked: "After all, she is fourteen years old, and she will be an adult after a few more roles."
Nolan said: "Little Gilbert, I don't think we should think so far ahead. If the first one fails, we don't need to think about the next few."
Little Gilbert was right. The beginning of a series of movies is very important. If you fail at the beginning, the subsequent projects will definitely not be able to proceed.
So Gilbert Jr. agreed with Nolan's point of view and decided to finish the first movie first and then think about the rest.
Looking at it this way, although Shu Chang is a bit old at fourteen years old, her mature performance and quirky temperament are quite in line with Xiaoyu's setting.
So after Shu Chang's performance, she became the number one choice for Little Gilbert.
After the audition, little Gilbert and Nolan Chenglong and Tang Jili watched the performance videos of the young actors and studied them.
Sissi was excluded first. She is indeed not suitable for the role of Xiaoyu, unless the role is drastically changed, but there is no need for that.
Later, Little Gilbert's "favorite" big power was also excluded. Since age was not a problem, Shu Chang's performance was obviously better than big power.
There are better choices, and of course you can't get the role with great power.
Yang Zi...well, Nolan said that Yang Zi was like a monkey and he couldn't film with a monkey, so Yang Zi was also out.
The only ones left are the unknown Wang Jiaqi and Shu Chang. Judging from the performance, Shu Chang undoubtedly has the advantage. But considering the series, nine-year-old Wang Jiaqi is obviously more suitable.
The four people couldn't decide for a while, so Tang Jili suggested: "How about letting the two young actors perform alone? This time it will be more difficult and let's see who performs best."
Only he can say this kind of thing, it is inappropriate for the other three people to say it.
Nolan and Cheng Long both looked at little Gilbert. Little Gilbert touched his chin, where he already had a beard.
He thought for half a minute and made an instant decision: "Then let's hold another audition!"
Little Gilbert made a decision, and the news spread quickly, and the outside world also knew about it.
Someone started talking: "Have you heard? There were two young actors who performed very well in the previous audition. Even Director Gilbert Jr. had trouble deciding whether to audition again!"
"Real or fake? Who are these two actors?" "I heard that one is named Shu Chang and was born as a child actor. The other one has never acted in any drama, but his performance is outstanding."
The audition for "The Adventures of Cheng Long" can be said to be the most eye-catching audition in the entire Chinese film and television industry. Everyone knows that winning a role means soaring into the sky, as was the case with Bingbing Li before.
Bingbing Li is an adult actor and is fairly well-known, so to speak.
But a teenager who plays a more important role than Bingbing Li is the female lead. If he is chosen, he will not only become famous all over the country overnight, but at least he will have a bright future.
Other young actors and parents also learned the news and knew that there was no hope for them.
It's okay for young actors, after all, they don't understand what the role of Xiaoyu means. But parents are heartbroken because their children have lost a great opportunity.
However, the one who is the most angry and jealous is Liu’s mother.
She and her daughter prepared so much for the audition and gave a lot of gifts, but they still didn't get the role.
"Why do you think you are so useless? I asked you to give gifts to Director Gilbert, who is the final decider of the role. Are you going to give gifts to those Chinese directors that are useful?" Liu's mother complained.
Gandy Chen was also helpless: "I can't help it, little Gilbert doesn't see me at all, and he doesn't accept any antiques, calligraphy or paintings.
Sending money doesn't work, they are not short of money either. "
"Then you are stupid, can't you give a woman away?" Mother Liu was very angry.
"Send a woman?" Godfather Chen looked at Mother Liu and said, "What kind of woman would interest a big director? I haven't seen any woman before.
If you think you can do it, go ahead yourself..."
"Me?" Liu's mother blushed: "How old am I, and the child is so old, how can someone be interested?"
"Hey!" Godfather Chen shook his finger and said, "That's not necessarily the case. Some big shots have special hobbies and want to be Cao Cao."
"What's the meaning?"
"I like married women!"
Mother Liu also seriously thought about Godfather Chen's suggestion: "Then tell me, if I go, can I get a different role?"
Gandy Chen shook his head and said, "I think great directors first look at their professional abilities, and secondly their human sophistication. Sissi is not suitable, I have already said that."
"Then you still want me to deliver it to your door?" Mother Liu was very angry.
"I asked you to establish a good relationship with Director Gilbert Little. With his protection, the movie will not only be "The Adventures of Cheng Long", but also many other movies!" said Gandy Chen.
Not to mention, Gandy Chen takes a long-term view. While others are thinking about a character, he is already thinking about the future.
It's a pity that both Gandy Chen and Mama Liu were rejected. Little Gilbert had no interest in getting to know married women, and he didn't consider giving them any chance.
So Liu’s mother didn’t see little Gilbert at all, but Gandy Chen continued to make suggestions.
It doesn't matter if you haven't seen her, you can secretly spread the word that Liu's mother is related to little Gilbert, so that Sissi will also have a relationship with little Gilbert.
Although little Gilbert himself didn't know about this, as long as others knew about it, they would definitely look at Sissi in a different light.
To put it bluntly, it was just to take advantage of little Gilbert's status and fame, and it was very effective.
If the character can't get it, he has to get something back, otherwise wouldn't it be a blood loss?
A few days later, the last audition continued, and this time the audition was more comfortable and the performance was even better. After all, Wang Jiaqi has never really learned acting, and her performance is unstable.
Therefore, Shu Chang won the much-anticipated role of Xiaoyu by virtue of his stability, compatibility with the character, and co-production with Cheng Long.
When Shu Chang's guardian signed his name on the actor's contract, everything about the role battle was settled.
It's just that this casting has had a profound impact on the Chinese film and television industry. After all, this has never happened before.
Where the hurricane created by the butterfly's wings will go, no one knows.
