Chapter 98: Winning the Male Lead, Jin Lian’s Terror
There is no description of Li Xiaoyao's appearance and clothing in The Legend of Sword and Fairy.
But there is a cover promotion on the game. From 1995 to now, there have been several editions. There are too many for Qin Chuan to choose from.
This time when he came to audition, he chose the one advertised on the early cover.
The long hair is combed on the top of the head, like a ponytail, youthful and energetic.
The outfit is the same blue and white as in the game, with a scarf hanging from the collar, and three long swords slung behind his back.
Coming out of the conference room, Qin Chuan said to Jin Lian, "I've been waiting for a long time. How is the situation outside?"
"Hiss." Jin Lian took a breath and couldn't stop looking up and down.
Qin Chuan's outfit is actually not very handsome, not as handsome as Qi Ye in A Chinese Ghost Story.
But I can’t help but look like Li Xiaoyao.
All the information on the Immortal Sword was compiled by her before being handed over to Qin Chuan. She knew the Immortal Sword better than Qin Chuan.
At this moment, Qin Chuan's appearance looks so much like Li Xiaoyao's, youthful, clean, and full of youthfulness.
"Don't worry about the outside world for now. Just smile and I'll see. You're a prankster."
"Is that so?" Qin Chuan raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Jin Lian's chest and neck with the same style as Guan Xi.
Jin Lian felt as if she was being teased: "Okay, okay, calm down later and don't look so lewd."
"There's still time, go ahead and line up."
Qin Chuan rushed to the room where everyone had gathered to wait, leaving Jin Lian and Wang Tingting behind.
Jin Lian stretched her head and looked into the small conference room. Wang Tingting was holding up the suit that Qin Chuan had changed out of on a hanger and putting a dust cover on it to prevent it from getting dirty.
The same goes for leather shoes, put them neatly.
Then she packed away the guys she ate and her makeup box one by one.
When she spotted someone with her peripheral vision, Wang Tingting looked over and nodded with a smile.
Jin Lian also nodded.
Before, she thought Qin Chuan found a pretty girl as a makeup artist just to release hormones.
Only after seeing the little girl's makeup skills did she realize that Wang Tingting's craftsmanship was indeed good and she did Qin Chuan's makeup very well.
Two flowers bloom.
As soon as Qin Chuan entered the room, a lot of Li Xiaoyao looked at him, and the air became quiet.
Everyone else's Li Xiaoyao's is the same model, but Qin Chuan's is customized and has a sword on his back.
"No, buddy, you play like this, right?"
"Why are you playing like this? I'm a bit tall. I was worried that the company didn't have my size, so I brought a set myself, okay?"
"First it was Armani suits, and now it's specific costumes. You really have one suit after another."
Before the audition started, dozens of Li Xiaoyao were still very polite to each other.
After putting on ancient costumes, what matters is strength.
Other people's costumes are either baggy or tight, some have poor makeup, and their headgear doesn't match their face shape.
As a result, Qin Chuan turned up the speed when he came up, and put on a specific set of ancient costumes, which instantly opened up a large distance.
It’s up to others how to play.
It’s not his fault that some people are scheming against him.
Qin Chuan was not used to it, and raised his hand to draw the big sword from behind: "What, do you want to practice?"
His sword is a prop, made of wood, but it is no joke to cut it on the body.
The person who just spoke took a few steps back and said nervously: "What are you going to do? This is a public place."
After scolding him for being a coward, Qin Chuan inserted the sword back and said, "Why don't you do it? It's just a joke. Don't take it seriously."
On the big day, he won't be embarrassed, he will just scare people.
After Qin Chuan put away his sword, a staff member came over and informed: "Hu Ge, Qin Chuan, Wan Tingyou, get ready."
"Okay!"
Qin Chuan walked out first, followed by Hu Ge and one person behind him.
After turning a corner, the three of them arrived outside the audition room.
The people inside haven't come out yet, so they can only wait for a while.
Qin Chuan folded his hands in front of his chest and leaned his back against the wall. He seemed to be carefree, but he was actually looking for Li Xiaoyao's feelings.
But just a few random actions made Hu Ge's scalp numb and secretly revealed something bad.
The audition hasn't even started yet, but Qin Chuan's every move is very much like Li Xiaoyao's, and he'll have to wait until he enters the room later.
Within a few minutes, people inside came out and people outside entered.
Qin Chuan thought Cai Yinong and Li Guoli were the only ones inside, but who knew there were several other leaders.
There are also cameras nearby to record at any time, so that you can watch the playback of the audition later.
Cai Yinong said: "Although we are all our own people, let's briefly introduce ourselves."
There were so many people auditioning for the show, even she had to watch it through replays several times afterwards to choose the best candidate.
The actor's name is provided to facilitate information inquiry.
"Hello, leaders, I am Qin Chuan from the Peking Branch. I am twenty years old this year."
"Hello, leaders, I am Hu Ge from Modu Company, and I am a junior in the Department of Acting at Shanghai Theater Academy."
"Hello, leaders, my name is Wan Tingyou, from the Tianjin branch. I have been in the industry for five years. I have played the leading role once and supporting roles four times. I love acting very much. Thank you to the leader for giving me this opportunity to audition today."
The three of them seemed to just give their names, but in fact they each had their own ideas. Qin Chuan emphasized his age. He was the youngest among the people present.
In the Fairy Sword game, Li Xiaoyao first appeared at the age of nineteen, which is not much different from him.
Hu Ge emphasized his major, attending the Department of Theater and Performance, and was graduated from a prestigious school.
Wan Tingyou emphasized his acting experience, as if to say that his acting skills are solid.
"Don't be nervous, just treat it as a simple audition. Come on, let's take a turn and see how we look."
What the three of them didn't know was that their scoring started from the moment they entered the door.
Several people's information companies have it, everything is detailed.
There is no doubt that Qin Chuan has the highest starting point. He is a martial arts student in Peking Opera. He can ride horses and swordsmanship. I heard that he has also practiced martial arts.
She hasn't acted in many movies, but they are all big productions, including "Dragon", "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Kung Fu".
The martial arts drama is good, and the literary drama is not bad either. The performance in A Chinese Ghost Story that just finished aired was very good and attracted millions of fans.
Regardless of his status as an actor, he is still a singer. After recording two original ballads, he can be considered a professional singer.
So in Cai Yinong's inner notebook, Qin Chuan scored seventy-five points before he even entered the door.
After entering the door, the appearance and appearance of the ancient costumes are an added bonus.
You know, of those who auditioned for the role before, very few could get a score of seventy-five, and very few could get a score of eighty.
He was already way ahead.
"Whatever talents you have, show them off." After seeing the appearance, Li Guoli pushed up his glasses and said.
Qin Chuan was the first to stand up: "Leader, what I bring is a set of swordsmanship."
When he was a martial artist, he majored in swordsmanship, and he also used a lot of swordsmanship during the filming of A Chinese Girl.
It can be regarded as the most familiar kung fu besides iron fist.
Immediately, Qin Chuan came up with a set of elegant Qingcheng swordsmanship, coupled with agile body movements, it was chic, light and very beautiful.
"Next."
Hu Ge doesn't know kung fu, he shows literary opera, and the same goes for Wan Tingyou.
After they finished their presentation, Li Guoli gave the three of them the same lines, which they performed ten minutes later.
Qin Chuan took a look and found that Li Xiaoyao traveled back to ten years ago. After saving Zhao Ling'er and Jiu Jianxian, he told them not to go to Yuhang Town in the future and not to teach a man named Li Xiaoyao kung fu.
Qin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief. Hu Ge and Wan Tingyou sighed.
Li Xiaoyao's script was not obtained, and the information they got was very little, most of which came from the game.
Regarding Li Xiaoyao, the most homework I have done is to study the personality of lively, cheerful, enthusiastic, and righteous.
Back ten years ago, it was all about to end.
Li Xiaoyao at that time had completely different personalities than in the early days.
Who would have thought that Li Guoli would come here.
Only Qin Chuan has experienced Li Xiaoyao's life long ago. There is no difference between the early and late stages for him.
Soon, the three of them started to perform, with Li Guoli as the wine and sword fairy and Cai Yinong as Zhao Ling'er.
After more than ten minutes, the performance of the three people ended.
Just when they thought they could leave after the audition, Cai Yinong suddenly asked a question.
"What do you think of Legend of Sword and Fairy?"
It was Qin Chuan who took the lead: "Leader, to be honest, I have loved playing games since I was a child, especially when I was in adolescence. Legend of Sword and Fairy has always been my favorite."
Speaking of this, Qin Chuan smiled bitterly: "Back then, I skipped class every day to go to the Internet cafe to play Fairy Sword. I stayed up late playing dungeons and doing tasks, which caused my academic performance to plummet. In the end, I didn't even get into college."
"I became someone else's child, just a negative example."
"Some time ago, Sister Jin told me that our company was going to film this drama. I couldn't be more excited. She said that she must play Li Xiaoyao, not for any other reason, because this is my dream."
Qin Chuan's words made everyone stunned.
Cai Yinong and Li Guoli were both a little moved.
Only Hu Ge’s eyes widened and he said “fuck you” in his heart.
Because he was also prepared to say this.
"Hu Ge, what about you?" Li Guoli asked.
"Haha, I am also a fan of Fairy Sword. I have liked it since my freshman year. I am an old player and I still play it frequently. I know every character and copy in the game by heart."
On the stage, someone from Cai Yinong's side said quietly: "Then you have a lot of time. You're already in college and you still play games every day."
Damn it, Hu Ge almost vomited blood.
What's wrong with playing games? Who among college students doesn't play games?
Qin Chuan played games so much that he didn't go to college. Why didn't he talk about him instead of me?
"Boss, I play in my spare time after finishing my homework."
"oh."
Hu Ge: "..."
Oh, what do you mean?
It was clear to onlookers that Hu Ge was the only one who didn’t understand why the leader behaved like this.
Qin Chuan lost his studies playing games. That is the past tense and cannot be changed. It can only be said that this boy really likes fairy swords.
But now he can stand in the same room and audition on the same stage as them, and his achievements are not worse than theirs, which shows that he has worked very hard.
On the contrary, Hu Ge relaxed himself after going to college, played games every day, and knew all the copies. This is how much hard work he put in.
Leaders like them will be more pleased if they have this time to devote to thinking about the performance.
"Go out first. I will inform you of the next batch if there is any news."
…
In the evening, at the Sugarman headquarters, the company management was all having a meeting.
In the conference room, the projector continuously played the video of everyone's audition today.
After several times, 80% of the people had been wiped out.
Some are older, some are not suitable for ancient costumes, and there are all kinds of problems.
In the end, there are only two or three people worth debating.
Among them are Qinchuan and Hu Ge.
The voting session has begun.
"Mr. Cai, I think Hu Ge is more suitable for Li Xiaoyao. His lively and active personality is very close to Li Xiaoyao."
"Of course, the character shown by Qin Chuan also fits Li Xiaoyao very well, but he is a performer, while Hu Ge is his nature, and the two are different."
Someone said: "I don't agree with this statement. When has good acting been a crime? Acting is what actors strive for. Qin Chuan is superior in all aspects. I vote for him."
The person from the production department said: "I also vote for Qin Chuan. His reputation, kung fu, and appearance are better than others. I vote for him for this role. I believe he can lead Sugar Man on a new path and make the company's transformation successful." , to the next level.”
"Haha." A middle-aged Mediterranean man sneered: "It's just a character. If you don't want to be so exaggerated, why don't you say he can lead us to the moon?"
Cai Yinong, who smelled the smell of gunpowder, saw that there was going to be a quarrel, so he lightly tapped the table with the tip of his pen: "Everyone, please be quiet."
"Director Li, do you think so?"
Li Guoli is the director, so we still need to ask his opinion on this matter.
After thinking for a few seconds, Li Guoli said: "Qin Chuan and Hu Ge are both very good. They each have their own merits. Whatever I want to say, anyone can do it."
This is the truth.
Qin Chuan's acting skills are better, and his conditions are good in all aspects, making him outstanding.
Hu Ge is not bad either. He majored in drama, his acting skills are top-notch, and his personality fits Li Xiaoyao very well.
No matter who he puts in his hands, he is confident that he will train them well.
Li Guoli's honesty suddenly kicked the ball to Cai Yinong, which made her a little entangled. It would be a pity for everyone to lose.
After all, Hu Ge had just finished playing the leading role of Dandelion. If the company didn't value him, they wouldn't have let him play the leading role.
It would be a pity to give up Qinchuan. The conditions are so good in all aspects, but what is missing is the opportunity. If you miss this time, you will not know the year of the monkey and the moon next time.
"Mr. Cai, I have a few words to say." Sister Wang, who had dined with Qinchuan Jinlian before, Deputy General Manager Wang spoke.
Cai Yinong nodded: "You say."
Sister Wang said: "I am an amateur in acting, so I didn't say anything just now, but Director Li and other professionals said that both of them are excellent, so I won't show my shame."
"Let me say a few words from the business perspective of company management."
After a pause, Sister Wang said: "Our company has only two transformation dramas, Dandelion and Legend of Sword and Fairy."
"You can't put your eggs in one basket. The risk factor is too high. If Hu Ge plays Dandelion, you shouldn't give him the fairy sword."
"Old people in rural areas often say that the chickens in this cage crow when the chickens in the cage crow, so they like to have more sons."
"I suggest giving the fairy sword to Qin Chuan, so that he and Hu Ge can each play a movie. If either of them succeeds, our company will be considered successful in its transformation."
boom!
Sister Wang’s words instantly silenced those who were still arguing just now.
They have been comparing Qin Chuan and Hu Ge, comparing their acting skills, appearance, personality, and compatibility with the roles.
But I never thought of starting from the overall situation of the company.
When Sister Wang said these words, even Cai Yinong and Li Guoli felt that they were very reasonable.
The balance that was still swinging just now immediately tipped towards Qin Chuan.
"Ahem, does anyone else have a different opinion?" Cai Yinong looked around and asked, "If not, then let Qin Chuan play the leading role of the Fairy Sword Man."
The meeting ended and the company leaders adjourned.
In the underground parking lot, Sister Wang just got in the car and immediately called Jin Lian: "Alian, good news, the male lead is your Qin Chuan."
"You are also awesome. I told you exactly what you said, and Mr. Cai immediately decided on Qin Chuan."
In the hotel, Jin Lian had just finished taking a shower and was wrapped in a bath towel. She smiled lightly and said, "Thank you. I'll treat you to a feast later."
After hanging up the phone, Jin Lian was in a very good mood as she looked downstairs at the bright neon lights and the busy traffic crawling at her feet.
So I opened a bottle of red wine that I had prepared in advance, poured a glass and sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window to taste it slowly.
