Chapter 73 Audition and Casting
Once he was on the set of "Lotus Lantern" and admired Yan Danchen's beauty.
The photo on the resume in front of me is no less impressive than Yan Danchen's appearance as Chang'e. This is a daily life photo, and her temperament is even better.
In terms of acting skills, China National Drama has endorsed her, and her classmates are all capable, but in terms of reputation, she seems a bit weak, and she is too Buddhist.
Put this resume out separately and write four words on it with a pen to audition for the female lead.
Lin Nan then looked down.
Maybe you can send me a paper version of your resume, not only because of your good attitude, but also because of your confidence in your own abilities.
Resumes in emails are generally worse than those on paper. Lin Nan was reading them at the same time.
In view of Lin Nan's casting requirements, many of the actresses on her resume are seniors from several previous classes in the three major universities.
If it’s an audition, there’s a good chance they’re all acquaintances.
There are quite a few resumes for male actors, but one was assigned to Zhu Yawen, so there are only two left. In addition, the role of a taxi driver is not very important, so I won’t look for it here, because there are not many scenes.
The role of the heroine’s friend is the most important male role. Zhu Yawen is not suitable. He is too young and cannot grasp it.
Lin Nan's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw a person. He also came from the Chinese Opera and is currently a drama actor.
"It should be quite suitable!"
The more Lin Nan thought about it, the more suitable it seemed to him. He and the candidate he had just selected to audition for the heroine were also friends and classmates in real life.
Pick out this resume and put it next to the one you just had.
Lin Nan read faster. Although he declined Hua Yi's dinner, the resumes of the two ice soldiers were not absent.
This is a problem. It is impossible not to give the opportunity to audition.
Lin Nan hesitated for a while and then took the two people out.
The Chinese drama picked out another familiar face, simply because Lin Nan looked familiar to him.
"Well, no wonder everyone says that the actors in the Chinese Opera are good, with Yishui's drama resume."
Lin Nan had a headache. He couldn't believe that all the candidates he liked were from next door, so the academy would have to nag him.
Fortunately, Lin Nan saw Yan Danchen and took it out without saying a word.
"Gao Yuanyuan?"
Lin Nan took out a resume again, this time it said: Audition for the third female role.
Maybe the actor wants to audition for a different role, but that doesn't hinder Lin Nan's subjective considerations.
Lin Nan first flipped through the paper resume, and then looked at the email. He seemed a little absent-minded. Maybe he was preconceived, and the person on the paper resume was indeed better.
......
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Nan took out more than thirty resumes.
“These people can notify them to come over and audition.”
"Director Lin, are you in the company?"
Lin Nan thought for a moment.
"Yes, just come to the company. The audition will be over before the 18th. I have something else to do later."
"Okay, Director Lin."
After that, Lin Nan got off work first and left the company.
After a while, the company became noisy.
“When you come to the company for an interview, wouldn’t you be able to see a lot of celebrities?”
“Yes, yes!”
“Look at who’s resume?”
A group of people instantly surrounded the administration.
Lin Nan's company sent out audition invitations, and some media got confirmation from a few artists who received the invitations.
Including the film type and production cost, they were also announced.
"They are the only ones who have received the invitation?"
"Yes, Mr. Wang."
"Then let them go. If "The Night Banquet" was not selected, then Let’s see if there is any chance with Lin Nan.”
There are so many branches in the company, and sometimes resources are hard to divide. Hua Yi also wants to use "The Night Banquet" to win over Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Xun.
......
The cost of 40 million is the highest production budget Lin Nan has ever handled so far, and it is also a high-priority project in China.
“The agent said he would give me a try, but I didn’t expect that I actually received an audition!”
Someone in a class group of about ten people posted this.
"Minghao, are you talking about Lin Nan's movie?" a female avatar posted.
"It must be so. We are currently casting there recently. I have a schedule, so I might as well give it a try." Someone else added.
"Haha, our double actor is very loud, right?" the female avatar joked.
"Jingjing, you are making fun of me again!"
"Although the starring role focuses on female characters, since it is a movie, there will definitely be a male lead. Minghao, can you Come on!" the female avatar encouraged her friend.
"Haha, of course."
Suddenly the avatar of a female opera character appeared, "Minghao, come together when the time comes, remember to call me."
"Oh my god, you are actually alive?"< br>
"Why are you talking to our Dalizi?"
"The last time I saw you talking was the last time."
...
The group instantly became lively.
Most of the people in the group have a good relationship and will chat from time to time. A small number of people are very career-minded and hardly appear here. Her classmates are also distant from her.
There are also people who rarely speak, not because they are focused on their career, but because they really don’t want to talk, but her popularity is indeed very good.
“I’m kind of looking forward to you two joining the same crew, haha.”
Tsing Yi's avatar popped up again, "I didn't expect that I would actually receive an invitation."
"Since there is an invitation, then grab it. Although the director is young, he has achieved great results and is still the best Silver Bear director. You Cherish it, there are not many good resources.”
A real old lady’s avatar popped up.
"You actually have time to chat today, are you typing pretty fast?"
"Teacher, teach him, he is making fun of you." The following people fanned the flames.
......
Zhang Ziyi is preparing for "The Banquet". Her Hollywood journey has been going very smoothly in the past two years. In three months, "Geisha" will be released in North America and other places. , she is a proper heroine.
Looking at the laughter and laughter in the group, she was a little unwilling and a little disdainful. She couldn't integrate into the classmates like Hu Jing and the others. Sometimes she seemed to be isolated by the class, but this was her The choice, no regrets.
Lin Nan got a pass to enter the competition site for the Olympic chief director. Only with this thing can he be let in.
"How was the audition?"
"It's about to start. I plan to get it done in one round." Lin Nan replied.
"Then you have to be careful, although commercial films do not require high acting skills."
"Don't worry about this, I can't find some connections, even if there are, I won't It will be parallel imports.”
“That’s good.”
If you do not receive an audition invitation, you will also be notified by email.
There were not many people in the audition, so Lin Nan felt that he could handle it alone.
Lin Nan doesn’t like the style of Zhang Big Beard, who has to hype up his audition for a long time.
The first person to come was Gao Yuanyuan. Her slightly plump figure matched this floral dress. She wore light makeup and had fair and beautiful skin. She felt very natural to Lin Nan.
The agent is waiting outside. Gao Yuanyuan's audition was good. Although she is not a major, her acting skills are better than those of many academics.
"Director Lin."
Twenty-six-year-old Gao Yuanyuan's career is on the rise, with several TV dramas adding bonus, especially after she won the award for "Green Red" at the beginning of the year.
"Isn't "Baby Project" also at that time?"
Lin Nan asked.
Others may not know it, but he knows that Gao Yuanyuan is on the casting list for this movie, and it has been decided.
"Director Lin knows that in Jackie Chan's movies, the female characters are basically supporting roles and there is no such thing as a heroine. Of course, this time "The Myth" is an exception."
Lin Nan understood what Gao Yuanyuan meant.
"Baby Project" is almost the male protagonist.
"If I give you the role of the third female lead, are you sure you can make it in time?"
When Gao Yuanyuan heard Lin Nan's words, she obviously felt that there was something interesting about it. She read the introduction of the role of the third female lead. , the one with the least screen time among the six, and none of them boarded the cruise ship.
"Okay."
During the filming of "Baby Project", she joined the set late, and the early stage was mainly about scenes with a few men.
Lin Nan planned this drama for one month, and it ended in less than two months. Filming will start after Golden Rooster, and she can fully cope with the time.
"Take back a copy of the complete script. During this time, you can sort out the plot and try to make it as perfect as possible after booting up. Please keep the script confidential and sign the contract in two days."
Lin Nan replaced He smiled and was no longer as serious as he had been during the audition.
Gao Yuanyuan was overjoyed and very excited, "Thank you, Director Lin, I will definitely not let you down."
The company people watched Gao Yuanyuan come out of the reception room with a happy look on her face and a hand in her hand. document bag.
“The first one succeeded?”
“Then the competition is fierce behind here?”
……
"Yuanyuan, how are you?"
Downstairs of the company, Gao Yuanyuan's agent asked.
“Here!”
Gao Yuanyuan stuffed the document bag into the agent’s hands, “Let me familiarize myself with the complete script first, and it must be kept confidential.”
The agent reacted instantly Come up, "It's done?"
"Yeah."
The two got into the car and left. There were several cars nearby with people who were going to audition. They didn't want to be embarrassed by meeting acquaintances above, so they had to wait below.
Some people succeed, and some people fail.
Several times in a row, Lin Nan was a little dissatisfied. Some people seemed to be filming on the crew, and during the audition, they had the smell of other dramas.
The fact that they didn't get any affirmation showed the result. They just saw Gao Yuanyuan going out with a document bag.
Lin Nan has to stay in the company these days. There are more than thirty people, and the time is sufficient, just seven or eight a day.
The next day, Lin Nan met Tian Yu. He was thirty years old and had a level 95 in Chinese dramas.
I don’t know why, Lin Nan always wants to laugh when seeing him, but you have to admit his acting skills, he has been in dramas for many years.
"Director Lin, is there any problem?"
Tian Yu was a little confused. There shouldn't be any big problems with his performance just now. He also deliberately avoided the performance style of a drama. If he could try to figure it out more, As for the script, I can definitely perform better.
"No problem." Lin Nan adjusted his mood.
"The second male lead, this role is very crucial. He and the first male lead, let's call it the male lead. They are young. In the script, there is a wife, who is the second female lead. Brother Tian will go back and write the complete script as soon as possible. Thoroughly understand it.”
Lin Nan handed over a document bag.
"I, did I succeed in the audition? Was it decided on the spot?"
Tian Yu couldn't believe it, but he didn't let himself go back and wait for notification like before.
"Haha, it's decided. Remember to keep the script confidential. I will notify you to sign the contract in two days."
"Ah, thank you, Director Lin."
Tian Yu's joy can be seen, his hands He took the document bag and said thank you several times before going out.
“Who is he?”
Looking at Tian Yu leaving, someone in the company asked.
"It seems that he graduated from China Opera, I remember."
That's what actors who are not famous are like this. Maybe you work hard and have talent, but you have to have a chance to show yourself. Many drama actors really only have themselves. People in that small circle know.
