China Entertainment Times 1999

Chapter 163 I’m not interested even if I’m not in the office! (Please subscribe!)
The next day Lin Xuan went to New Picture to sign a contract and met Wang Jinhua and Chen Daoming downstairs.

"Sister Hua, Brother Chen."

Lin Xuan waved hello.

"Lin Xuan, long time no see, I can finally cooperate with you this time."

Chen Daoming smiled and shook hands with him.

Lin Xuan is not old, but his acting skills are very good.

He was not impetuous and was very polite to his seniors. Chen Daoming had a good impression of him.

"It's a pity that we don't have opposite roles in this drama. It's a pity."

Lin Xuan didn't tell lies, he was really sorry.

Costume dramas and martial arts dramas simply cannot bring out his acting skills.

The opposite actors are all noobs, but Lin Xuan can defeat them by eating melon seeds.

It's like spending a huge amount of money to buy a 4090 graphics card, but only using it to play domestic online games.

How powerful is this? The fan is not even spinning.

Being able to compete with an experienced actor like Chen Daoming is one of Lin Xuan's few dreams.

It's a pity that the two of them took different routes, so it was difficult for them to get together.

"It's so simple. If you invite me next time you film, we can cooperate."

"Okay, then it's settled."

After chatting for a while, Wang Jinhua took them upstairs to sign a contract.

The remuneration and other things have been discussed in advance, and you can just go to the place and sign and leave.

However, Lin Xuan's situation was quite special, and Wang Jinhua had to negotiate the shooting time with the crew.

A few minutes later, Wang Jinhua came out with a smile.

"Sister Hua, have we discussed it so quickly?"

"Yes, there is no conflict in time between the two dramas. The crew of "Hero" will start filming in August, and "The World's No. [-]" will start filming in June.

Once your scene is finished filming, just join the team directly.The scenes are all in Hengdian, just a few steps away. "

"That's great. It worried me for a long time."

…………

The first round of audition screening for "No. [-] in the World" has ended.

The crew will send the script outline and character introduction to the qualified actors, and notify them to participate in the second round of auditions on time.

After meeting that day, Chen Hong had already joined the team and started working.

Relying on the connections she had accumulated over the years, she quickly established the framework of the crew.

This audition also did not require Lin Xuan to participate. Chen Hong and several assistant directors from the crew were responsible for the second round of auditions.

Yuan Heping also accepted the invitation to serve as the crew's martial arts instructor.

He met Lin Xuan in Beijing and after signing the contract, he got the complete script.

Lin Xuan asked him to have dinner with Wu Jing, and the two talked for a long time.

Explain clearly to Yuan Heping the martial arts effect he wants to achieve.

This matter must be communicated in advance so that Yuan Heping can design the martial arts moves in advance.

On the other side, the crew of "Heroes" announced the cast.

The list was reprinted by major newspapers and immediately aroused heated discussion among the audience.

[Starring Jet Li, hey, I haven’t seen him act in a kung fu movie for a long time. 】

[Didn’t he go to Hollywood to develop his career? Why did he come back and have such a bad time? 】

[Liang Chaowei and Zhang Manyu collaborate again. I have loved them since "In the Mood for Love". 】

[This is the first time we have cooperated. It seems to be the seventh time. 】

[Chen Daoming plays the role of the emperor again. He won’t be completely absorbed in the role every day. 】

[Nonsense, I don’t have it. 】

[Zhang Ziyi seems to only make movies by great directors. 】

[This is not nonsense, she is a Hollywood-level actress, ordinary directors should step aside. 】

【Brother Xuan!Brother Xuan! 】

[Congratulations to Lin Xuan for cooperating with director Zhang Yimou! 】

[Brother Xuan and Jet Li act together, my two favorite actors. 】

[After filming "Hero", Lin Xuan will be able to enter Hollywood. 】

…………

The cast list of "Heroes" is like a bombshell, making people inside and outside the circle excited.

After all, with a production cost of US$3000 million, it is definitely a super-large production in the mainland.

As for the cast, it goes without saying that Jet Li is ridiculously popular in the mainland.

Many people also like the golden couple of Liang Chaowei and Zhang Manyu.

Kangxi played by Chen Daoming is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The international chapter has not lost all its popularity among the public, and this is also the time when its popularity is on the rise.

Not to mention the addition of Lin Xuan, the "No. [-] niche player in the Mainland".

He is very popular with the public, has little negative news, has good acting skills and good looks.

Even people who are not star-chasers still recognize his acting and martial arts skills.

Not to mention the fans, they are happier than during the Chinese New Year, they are simply ecstatic.

Although Lin Xuan's popularity and national popularity are high, he always hangs out in the TV industry and always feels a head lower than others.

Well now, I got on Zhang Yimou's express train and headed straight to Hollywood.

The popularity of "Hero" lasted for several days, and Lin Xuan also accepted interviews from several media.

Let’s talk about your feelings about working with Zhang Yimou for the first time and your evaluation of other actors.

The answers to these questions were prepared in advance by Qian Ze and Wang Jinhua.

There's nothing new, just the same clichés we're used to hearing.

Wait until the heat here gradually dissipates.

The crew of "The Best in the World" also ushered in its third audition.

…………

In the office, Chen Hong handed him the information: "This is the final audition list."

"Thank you for your hard work." Lin Xuan buried his head and looked at it carefully.

“It’s the last round of auditions, and I don’t even know who you want to play.

Tell me in advance so that those actors can be replaced with other roles. "

Lin Xuan raised his head and asked: "Which role is Fan Xiaopang auditioning for?"

"Didn't you say that she is not suitable for Shangguan Haitang? She auditioned for the second female lead, Princess Yunluo." Hearing this, Lin Xuan said: "Then I will play right and wrong."

Since his debut, most of his roles have been positive characters, and his behavior has been steady.

This is my first time trying a small gangster type comedy role like Cheng Shifei.

Just step out of your comfort zone, challenge your acting skills, and give the audience a different experience.

Chen Hong thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, what about the actors who fail in the audition?"

Lin Xuan took out his pen and made changes on the list:

“I have changed many people’s audition roles, please inform them early.

If you are willing to accept it, come to the audition. If you are not willing to accept it, forget it.

The final audition will be based on this list. "

Chen Hong took the list and looked at it, frowning and said:
“I won’t say whether the audition turned out to be right or wrong.

If someone auditions for the second female lead, you directly change it to the sixth female lead...the seventh female lead.

This is a bit too insulting, can they agree? "

Lin Xuan put away the pen and said calmly:

“They are all actors who are not very popular, or students who have just graduated from the three major universities.

Whether it's acting skills or appearance, it's just like that, if you change it, just change it, it's not a big deal.

Again, if you're willing to audition, just come. If you don't want to, I won't force you. "

"Okay, then I'll arrange for someone to notify them immediately."

Chen Hong put away the information and was about to leave, but Lin Xuan grabbed her hand.

"Is there anything else?" Chen Hong asked doubtfully.

"I found that you are a bit of a workaholic. When I became a producer, I wanted to be closer to you, but in the end I couldn't see anyone all day long."

Chen Hong smiled: "You should be happy that I work hard for the TV series you invested in."

Lin Xuan pulled hard, and the beauty staggered and fell into his arms:
"Work is important, but rest is even more important. I think you are tired. Please rest for at least two hours."

"I don't feel tired."

"I don't want you to think, I want me to think."

"What are you talking about...don't, this is an office."

"Nonsense, it's not the office and I'm not interested yet."

"There's...woo!"

…………

Beijing, a hotel conference room.

Today is the last audition for the crew of "The Best in the World".

Lin Xuan had breakfast and rushed to the audition site.

"Hello, everyone, I'm not late."

"No no."

Everyone in the venue shook their heads quickly.

You are a director and an investor, who dares to say you are late.

"Eighth Master, Sister Hong..."

Lin Xuan walked over and said hello to everyone.

Chen Hong organized the information and handed it over:
"This is the list of actors who have confirmed to audition. All the actors who have not changed their roles are here.

Except for a few actors who had changed their roles, most of them resigned.

I really don’t know where your charm comes from. You kill other people’s characters, but there are still so many people willing to come. "

"Do you know why?"

Lin Xuan picked up the red pen and circled all the actors who were not here.

Chen Hong was puzzled: "Why?"

Lin Xuan smiled and handed the list to Qian Ze:

"Write down the names of these people and don't cooperate with them in the future."

"Good boss."

Chen Hong was stunned when she saw what he was doing.

Lin Xuan explained: "These actors who don't come have either too low emotional intelligence and don't even understand the most basic rules in the circle.

Either they think too highly of themselves and want to challenge a role that is not theirs at all. "

Seeing that she still didn't understand, Lin Xuan continued:

"I'll give you an example, look at Ren Quan.

He initially wanted to audition for Duan Tianya, but I cut him into the role of emperor.

Did they say anything? I still came here to audition.

On the one hand, he knew in his heart that I rejected him because there was a more suitable actor than him, and even if he came to audition, he would just accompany me.

On the other hand, if he lowers his status to play a supporting role, he will definitely win my favor. This is a small favor, so why not do it.

Most people understand the truth, but those fresh out of school don't understand it, and they probably won't be able to make a name for themselves in the future. "

After listening to his explanation, Chen Hong suddenly realized.

…………

At nine o'clock in the morning, the audition officially began.

Qian Ze called the number in the order of registration, and the first one to come in was Fan Xiaopang.

Today's audition had a martial arts part, so she wore loose casual clothes.

"Hello teachers, my name is Fan Xiaopang, and the role I am auditioning for today is Princess Yunluo..."

"You come and act this part, I'll give you 5 minutes."

Lin Xuan gave a serious audition and even circled a paragraph in the script for her to perform, which made Chen Hong turn her head and look at him.

Princess Yunluo was already appointed by her, but she even pretended to audition.

Lin Xuan and Fan Xiaopang cooperated very well. Except for Chen Hong, who knew about it in advance, no one else saw any clues.

After all, it was Lin Xuan who taught her step by step and gave her some tips before the audition to help her understand the role.

After 10 minutes, Xiaopang's performance ended and was recognized by most people.

Lin Xuan nodded and said: "You did a good job. Go back and wait for the news. No matter what the result is, the crew will call you within three days."

"Okay, thank you director, thank you teachers."

Fan Xiaopang bowed to everyone and then left the conference room.

Chen Hong looked at her back and snorted in his heart.

It really looks like it.
