China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 377 Little Person, Xin Zhilei

"Yu Tang, thank you very much for Lao Hu's matter."

Cai Yinong is talking about Hu Ge taking over the "Now You See Me" pie.

Listening to this sister's voice, she seemed to be so happy that she was about to fly.

With Tangren's film and television resources, not to mention participating in major S-level film projects controlled by Zhou Yutang, she even eagerly treats some small-budget films in the industry as treasures.

Now Cai Yinong is extremely happy. The investment in Zhou Yutang's favor was really worth it.

Although Liu Shishi, the first sister, was involved, the benefits gained are immeasurable.

"Don't let the news out yet."

Zhou Yutang reminded: "When the time comes, listen to the publicity arrangements here."

"I know."

Cai Yinong said in a flurry: "When the time comes, we will work together to increase the popularity."

Zhou Yutang shook his head and chuckled helplessly as he listened to the marketing routines coming out of her mouth.

When it comes to film and television resources, Cai Yinong can only pick his own feet.

But when it comes to marketing, she is not sleepy.

"Sister Cai, "Henmark in the Sky" sold well, right?"

"It's not bad. A single episode costs 195 million. You want to recommend Gu Linnazar, right? That girl is pretty good."

Cai Yinong was talking happily, and suddenly thought of something: "By the way, Yu Tang, I heard that your company's "Celebrating More Than Years" is still casting, right?"

"Well, what should I say?" Zhou Yutang had a premonition in his heart.

"What about Lin Gengxin and Jiang Jingfu?"

Sure enough, what was supposed to come finally came. Zhou Yutang put his hand on his forehead and explained: "It's not suitable. The main male role is almost decided. There are several eunuch leaders in the palace."

"."

Zhou Yutang silenced Cai Yinong with just one word.

Lin Gengxin and Jiang Jingfu are both highly regarded in the Tang Dynasty. Of course, they cannot play eunuchs, but this sister has a back-up: "What about Jin Chen, any supporting role will be fine."

"Okay, I have a best friend who is the heroine."

Zhou Yutang thought about it and realized that there were many roles in this drama, and it would be no problem for Ye Linger to play Jin Daxi.

After chatting for a while, they hung up the phone.

The project "Celebrating More Than Years" has received widespread attention from the outside world since its establishment last year.

However, the starring cast has not been announced for a long time, and enthusiastic fans outside have made several rounds of selections for Zhou Yutang.

Soon it was announced that Liu Yifei would be starring in the film, and a few days later it was announced that Zhou Yutang had fallen in love with his old flame, and that the lead female role was won by Liu Shishi, a famous Chinese actress.

From time to time, several big beauties such as Fan Binbin and Gao Yuanyuan are also inserted, as well as Yang Mi and Tang Yan, who also have gossip to dig up, making it very lively.

Nowadays, entertainment reporters in the circle are all very knowledgeable. Generally, scandal discussions are about Zhou Yutang + Hua Dan + big-budget film and television projects. With proper traffic guaranteed, the exposure of this drama has never been low.

Since last year, several rounds of auditions have been conducted, and now it has almost reached the final stage.

Today's Jiangdong Building is particularly lively, as several important roles in the drama "Celebrating More Than Years" are auditioning.

"Have you heard that Mr. Zhou is coming over today?"

"seriously."

"It's absolutely true. It seems that President Zhou has spoken and the plan is almost finalized."

"Xiao Liu, what do you think of my makeup?"

"Bring me the lighter lipstick in my bag."

For the entertainment industry, "Celebrating More Years" starring Zhou Yutang is almost a hit TV series booked in advance.

The characters in this drama were auditioned publicly and attracted countless people to grab their heads.

Those big actresses were still able to keep their composure. A few of them had contacted her in advance and knew that the heroine had already been confirmed, so that was all.

But there are more actresses who want to climb up from below.

As long as you can get on this train, even if you come in as a pendant, your exposure will definitely be greatly increased, and you may have a chance to become famous instantly.

Looking at the female artists who were surging next to them and seemed to be about to eat Zhou Yutang alive, Xin Zhilei's manager was ready to make a move: "Leilei, do you want to touch up your makeup again?"

"forget it."

Xin Zhilei saw a female artist opposite her unbuttoning her shirt, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I'm not as good-looking as them, so it's useless to do this."

"You call this high-end beauty, let's rely on our strength to speak!"

The manager's sister quite defended her artist, comforting her while observing the enemy's situation.

Suddenly there was a commotion outside, and someone lowered their voice and said that Mr. Zhou had arrived. Then the female artists sitting in rows began to use various methods to attract Zhou Yutang's attention with their own charm.

Zhou Yutang was talking to Lin Liang beside him. He walked straight into the audition room without even looking.

I sat in the middle seat without hesitation.

Directors Kong Sheng and Lin Liang sat on his left and right, and the rest of the creative staff sat next to each other according to their status in the crew.

The assistant takes the list and calls people in order, and those whose names are called go in to audition.

There were many people entering in front, some were happy and some were sad.

"Xin Zhilei."

Xin Zhilei, whose name was called, took a deep breath and walked into the room.

"The one who won the show?"

"Ah."

"You want to try Begonia Duoduo, right? Take a few steps to see it first."

"it is good."

Feeling several eyes looking at her, Xin Zhilei tried her best to stretch her tight body when faced with this request from the casting director.

Gather your emotions for a little while, and then start to play freely.

She tried to recall in her mind the details she had seen in the novel.

Haitang Duoduo is very powerful and has a high status.

But the way he walks is very special.

How did she leave?

Three shakes in one step.

But it's not the seductive way of a smoky woman twisting her waist and swaying, but a kind of swaying full of country flavor.

Xin Zhilei followed his own understanding and practiced countless times in private to express this kind of swing with a rustic flavor in his own way.

A bit rustic, but generous.

There is a strange sense of beauty when you look at it.

Zhou Yutang saw Kong Sheng nod slightly, put down the pen in his hand, and asked with interest: "What advantages do you think you have in playing the role of Begonia Duoduo?"

"I have read the novel and I feel that the other female characters are too beautiful. My image may be more suitable for Begonia Duoduo." Xin Zhilei said frankly.

She really doesn't have the looks of a great beauty, and her lips are a bit thick.

"You were already in your third year of college at that time. Why did you drop out of school at that time and enter the entertainment industry?"

"I want to be famous, I want to make money."

It was a very good and true answer. Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly, "Have you ever cooperated with Liang Chaowei?"

"Well, I filmed an advertisement at that time."

Zhou Yutang glanced at his resume.

Let the movie star carry the sedan upon his debut, which is a bit of something, but not much.

It’s a bit similar to Xiao Zhao’s development.

What followed was a long period of supporting roles, and it was not until last year that she played a supporting actress in her first TV series.

Zhou Yutang put down his resume with an understatement smile on his face: "Is the agent here?"

"outside."

Xin Zhilei swallowed and answered nervously.

"Let her come over and sign the contract later."

Zhou Yutang put down his pen and glanced at Xin Zhilei, who was stunned and motionless: "Do you have any other questions?"

"I have no problem, thank you, Mr. Zhou, thank you, director, thank you."

Feeling that his heart was pounding wildly, as if it was about to burst out of his chest, Xin Zhilei bowed slightly towards Zhou Yutang, then closed the door and retreated.

After going out.

Xin Zhilei slowly exhaled, and the speculating eyes of the female artists around him and all the noise in the world seemed to disappear.

The excitement just now finally calmed down gradually.

Pulling the eager-looking manager to the side, he said softly: "Sister Wang, it's done."

"Really?" The female manager's pupils suddenly widened, and her voice trembled a little.

"Well, Zhou Yutang said, I will let you sign the contract later."

"it is good!"

The female agent was also slightly startled, then hugged Xin Zhilei and laughed: "I know, you can do it!"

The audition ended this morning.

Zhou Yutang, Kong Sheng and the rest of the crew had a casual meal in the company canteen, chatting while they ate.

"Mr. Zhou, don't you want to watch the character Haitang Duoduo again?"

"Just her. It's rare that her temperament matches her well."

"But she doesn't seem to be famous." Lin Liang hesitated for a moment, then asked tactfully.

"With me here, are you still worried about not being famous?"

Zhou Yutang chuckled and asked, "What do you think of that girl, Director Kong?"

"She has a very good temperament and is quite suitable for the role of Haitang Duoduo."

Kong Sheng also smiled.

Haitang Duoduo is a close disciple of Master Kuhe, one of the four great masters.

She is a dignified saint from the Northern Qi Dynasty, with a ninth-level strength, but she only loves a leisurely pastoral life. She often raises chickens and ducks for farming, and looks like a farm girl.

What you want is the temperament of a village belle.

The female artists who have entered the final audition stage have something more or less.

Either they are experienced, or they are good-looking, or they are very popular.

Xin Zhilei was not considered a standout among this group of people.

But opportunities always come to those who are prepared.

She must have read the novel in advance and had an in-depth understanding of the character Haitang Duoduo, and the temperament she displayed was relatively consistent with it.

"In terms of acting, Director Kong may need to spend more time training."

Zhou Yutang put down his chopsticks and took out a wet wipe to wipe his mouth.

Continue to audition.

It may be possible to find a more suitable candidate than Xin Zhilei, but this project cannot be delayed.

Zhou Yutang's schedule is very tight. He has to start shooting as soon as possible and prepare for this year's big project "Now You See Me".

"Is Xin Zhilei's agent here?"

"I'm here!"

Sister Wang almost jumped with excitement when she received a call from Jiangdong Entertainment.

He quickly followed his agent, Sister Wang, to Jiangdong Building to sign the contract. When he went out, Xin Zhilei’s feet felt like stepping on cotton. He didn’t even hear what Sister Wang was saying excitedly:

"Sister Wang, I'm going to the toilet."

Looking at her not-so-pretty face in the mirror, Xin Zhilei should be very happy to be given such an opportunity.

But she suddenly felt a little unreal, like a dream.

Washed my face.

I don't know if it was water or tears that moistened my eyes.

Xin Zhilei was not sure until he signed the contract.

It seems that I can really make money to support my family through acting and treat my father who is paralyzed in bed.

Holding the sink, the girl's eyes in the mirror gradually became firmer.

she said to herself.

Come on, little guy Xin Zhilei.

After several days of auditions, the role in "Celebrating More Than Years" was finally finalized.

Zhou Yutang played Fan Xian, Chen Daoming played Emperor Qing, Li Yao played Lin Wan'er, Zeng Li played the eldest princess Li Yunrui, the manager was Ni Ni, Fan Ruoruo was given to Dilraba, and Haitang Duoduo finally chose Xin Zhilei.

Tian Yu who plays Wang Qinian is irreplaceable, Wu Gang plays Chen Pingping, Chen Xiao plays the second prince, and Wu Zhu plays the handsome commander Bi Yankuan.

Aunt Liu is Liu Ye, the eldest lady in Zhifuli. She is not well-known at this time, so she was auditioning for a role.

Xiao Fan Xian found Wu Sanshi. Zhou Yutang had worked with this little guy in "Big Shot" and always thought he was very spiritual.

Zhu Yilong plays Bingyun, Hu Jing plays Ye Qingmei, and Zhan Doudou plays Guli Naza

According to the script of the first season of "Celebrating More Than Years", these characters do not have many roles and are guest appearances.

But Yan Bingyun and Zhan Doudou have more scenes in the second part. This is the position reserved by Zhou Yutang for his own people Zhu Yilong and Guli Naza.

Brother Long is still on the set of "Glory of the Tang Dynasty", so he will probably have to take a leave of absence. It would be great for Guli Nazha to play the role of Zhan Doudou, who disguises himself as a woman.

She has a sharp and beautiful appearance, and she is also smooth.
