Chapter 183 A character worth millions! (Please subscribe!)

"He auditioned for "Detective Detective Dee 2" last year, but you rejected him.

After that, I started honing my acting skills seriously, and I have improved a lot compared to last year. "

There is no proof for what he says. Whether his acting skills are good or not cannot be known until he tries the show, not to mention that Li Shaohong is still related to him.

"Have you read the original work of "Eternal Dragon Sword"?"

Lin Yushen nodded: "Watch it several times."

"Do you remember the scene where Yang Xiao was so angry that Gu Hongzi died? Try acting in it?"

"Performing here?" Lin Yushen looked embarrassed.

This is a hotel box, not a stage set.

"Still shy."

Lin Xuan looked at him with a smile, then glanced around:
"Have you never learned how to liberate your nature? There are no outsiders in the box, either actors or directors,"

Li Shaohong also encouraged: "Yushen, haven't you practiced in the company?"

Even his godmother had no objection, so Lin Yushen could only stand up bravely.

He first recalled the plot in the book, found his state, and then started to perform.

Gu Hongzi is the senior brother of Miejie Shitai. The two have a deep love and had a marriage agreement.

As a result, Yang Xiao won the martial arts competition with him, and then the insult made Gu Hongzi angry to death. From then on, Master Jiejie hated Mingjiao deeply.

Lin Xuan's revised script basically followed the original work, so this plot was retained.

After Lin Yushen found the state, he showed contempt and picked up the chopsticks as a heavenly sword.

"The Yitian Sword is so famous! In my eyes, it is just like scrap metal!"

After saying this, he threw the chopsticks to the ground and walked away with his hands behind his back.

Putting aside his acting skills, Lin Yushen was able to perform this part quickly, which shows that he is very familiar with the original work.

"Not bad, let's try something else."

Lin Xuan picked a few more plots about Yang Xiao when he was young.

After the performance was over, Li Shaohong asked: "Lin Xuan, what do you think of Yu Shen's performance?"

"The acting is good. I know all the lines by heart. It's obvious that I have put a lot of effort into it."

Lin Xuan gave a few casual compliments as he said a few words for the occasion and it was free of charge.

But instead of deciding on the role on the spot, he was asked to audition.

Although the young Yang Xiao's scenes are not many, they are all outstanding.

The senior brother who defeated Master Jiejie when he was just starting out, threw away the Yitian Sword that everyone in the martial arts world coveted, and then captured Ji Xiaofu, a disciple of the Emei Sect.

Young, frivolous, and unruly, this kind of character is very flattering.

Although Lin Yushen acted well, he was not the most suitable. There are a lot of actors in the industry who can play Yang Xiao well.

If Er Li really wants to win this role, he can't do it without some blood.

Lin Yushen looked a little disappointed when he heard that there was still an audition.

Thinking of the experience of being rejected in the last audition, I probably felt a shadow in my heart.

Li Shaohong and Li Xiaowan looked at each other, said nothing more, and continued eating and drinking.

After dinner was over, the two of them left Lin Xuan alone and let the others leave first.

"Goodbye, Director Lin,"

Brother Xun waved goodbye to him regretfully.

The two of them had a great time chatting at the dinner table. They had planned to have an in-depth chat with him tonight, but it seemed that they had to wait until next time.

There were only three of them left in the private room, and Li Shaohong asked straight to the point:
"Lin Xuan, tell us the truth, can you make the decision in the role of Yang Xiao?"

"Of course, I am the producer of this show."

His answer was as expected by the two of them.

Lin Xuan is both an investor and a starring actor, so it will definitely be no problem to decide on a few roles.

"Lin Xuan, I want Yu Shen to play Yang Xiao, please give me a price."

Hehe, I've been waiting for your words for a long time.

Lin Xuan was not polite and said loudly: "50!"

The two frowned slightly. The price was a bit high. They had planned to pay 30 for the character.

They both thought it was high, but Lin Xuan thought it was reasonable.

"You haven't read the script. This version of "Eternal Dragon Sword" is going to be filmed according to the original work.

When Yang Xiao was young, he had some outstanding plots, which would definitely become popular if they were filmed. "

Lin Xuan introduced the plot of the new version of Yang Xiao.

After the two of them heard this, they were immediately moved.

Lin Xuan took the opportunity to throw out a bigger bait:

"The middle-aged version of Yang Xiao is tentatively scheduled to be played by Zhang Tielin, but this matter has not been confirmed yet.

If the price is right, I think Lin Yushen is pretty good. "

Li Shaohong said in surprise: "There is such a big age difference, is it possible?"

"Isn't it enough to make her look older and put on a beard?"

Just follow the makeup of the 17th version of "Eternal Dragon Sword".

Not to mention anything else, at least Yang Xiao's elegant scholar image, he must be qualified.

"How much?" Li Xiaowan was moved.

As long as you can make your son famous, it doesn't matter if you spend a little money.

Lin Xuan stretched out a finger: "100 million! Plus professional acting training."

Even Rong Xinda's boss would hesitate to buy a supporting role for 100 million.

If it were filmed according to the original work, Yang Xiao would have a lot of roles in the play.

As for acting skills, since Lin Xuan dares to say this, it shows that he is confident.

This deal is worth doing.

Li Xiaowan nodded and said: "Then it's settled, I'll transfer the money tomorrow."

Lin Xuan smiled and picked up the wine glass: "It's a pleasure to cooperate."

…………

The money arrived the next day, and his business got off to a good start.

Then other film and television companies began to contact Lin Xuan and recommend their artists to him.

Although he can make money selling characters, he doesn't sell them to everyone.

Lin Xuan's requirements are very strict, his acting skills must be passable, and his image must fit the role.

However, after contacting more than a dozen companies and dozens of actors, Lin Xuan could not find the right person.

He couldn't help but be disappointed and felt that the business could not continue.

What he wanted was the enchantress from Tianying Cult, but what those companies pushed over was the number one in Yihongyuan.

All of them were wearing perfume and heavy makeup, and everything from their image to their temperament was inappropriate.

In all likelihood, it is the entertainment industry where rich people spend money to make their secretaries happy, so they can enter the entertainment industry.

Lin Xuan was unwilling to lower his casting standards and could only lament that he could not have his cake and eat it too.

Just when he was about to give up, Wang Jinhua came over to take care of his business.

What a coincidence to mention this.

At the beginning of the year, Yahuan Video invested in a drama "Young Zhang Sanfeng".

Because of his Hong Kong investment background, Yahuan invited Zhang Weijian to be the male lead.

The first TV series of a famous Hong Kong star in the mainland is considered a good resource in the industry.

At that time, Sister Hua found many connections and arranged Li Bingbing to join the crew.

As a result, when Wang Jinhua went to visit the crew, she met Yan Kuan in costume.

Yan Kuan is very good-looking and is known as the "model face". After putting on ancient clothes, he has the temperament of a noble boy.

This situation made Sister Hua suddenly think of Lin Xuan, so she invited Yan Kuan out for dinner that day.

During the chat, we learned that Yan Kuan had already signed a contract with a brokerage company, but it was just a small company in the Magic City.

After hearing this, Sister Hua said on the spot that she wanted to sign him, and Huayi would be responsible for paying the penalty.

At this time, Huayi already had the prototype of "Mainland's No. [-] Film and Television Company", and it was not difficult to choose between the two.

After a period of wrangling, Yan Kuan terminated his contract with his old club two months ago and officially joined Huayi Brothers.

Sister Hua wants to make him the second Lin Xuan, and also wants him to follow the route of a costumed male god like Lin Xuan.

So when she heard that Lin Xuan had the casting rights for Song Qingshu, she immediately came to her door with Yan Kuan.Villa, living room.

Yan Kuan sat nervously on the sofa, feeling a bit like a student being called to the office by his teacher.

Who is the most popular artist in the mainland entertainment industry today?

Ask this question to a hundred people, and 99 of them will give the same answer.

The actor is Lin Xuan and the actress is Zhao Yanzi.

The former has "Swordsman" and "Detective Di Renjie 2" this year, and the latter has "Love in the Rain" and "Shaolin Football" this year.

For the first time, Yan Kuan was excited and nervous when he saw a top figure in the circle.

Lin Xuan looked at him calmly, sitting opposite him and looking at him openly.

As one of the "Four Beauties from the End of the World", it goes without saying that Yan Kuan has good looks.

In terms of acting skills, Yan Kuan graduated from Shanghai Opera and was born in a professional school.

During the graduation exam, he got A's in all four subjects on stage and acted as the male lead in the graduation drama.

In terms of temperament, image, and acting skills, he is very suitable to play Song Qingshu. After all, Song Qingshu is a handsome guy in the original work.

After Wang Jinhua introduced Yan Kuan's information, he proudly asked: "How is it? I have a good taste."

"Well, the image and temperament are quite good."

When she asked this, of course Lin Xuan could only praise her.

If Wang Jinhua has bad taste, then she is bringing herself into it.

"Thank you, Director Lin."

Yan Kuan immediately stood up and bowed respectfully to thank him.

Wang Jinhua waved her hand for him to sit down and asked, "I heard that you have the right to cast Song Qingshu?"

Lin Xuan nodded and smiled: "Sister Hua, this character is already on the shelf."

Wang Jinhua rolled his eyes at him: "Of course I know. You're such a bad student that you actually sell your characters for money."

Lin Xuan explained: "I have very high requirements for the role. It doesn't just require money, otherwise it would have been sold long ago."

"If it doesn't sell, it's an expired product. Please give me a discount."

The two began to bargain.

The more Yan Kuan listened, the more frightened he became, and he did not dare to move.

Is this the boss world?
Countless actors are vying for resources, which in their eyes can be traded at will.

Yan Kuan was filled with excitement for a moment, imagining that he could have this day in the future.

"30! Sister Hua, this is the lowest price!"

"Okay, then I'll send you the money tomorrow."

After counter-offering from 50 yuan to 30 yuan, Wang Jinhua got the role and Lin Xuan sold the role. Both parties were quite satisfied.

…………

A few days later, the cast of "Heaven and Dragon Sword" held an open audition.

"Director Lai, while producing..."

Lin Xuan came to the hotel conference room to attend the audition as a producer.

As soon as I entered the room, I greeted several crew members.

After exchanging a few words, he sat down at the table. The ID card in front of him said not screenwriter or director, but producer.

"How many of your characters have been sold?"

Lai Shuiqing sat next to him and asked curiously.

"Except for Yin Susu, the other two have been sold."

"Who did you sell it to? Do I know it?"

Lin Xuan shook his head and smiled: "Director Lai, the people who can come to play supporting roles are all newcomers in the industry. Of course you don't know them.

But don't worry, I've reviewed their image and acting skills, and there must be no problem. "

Yan Kuan's performance is the first in drama.

Lin Yushen has learned a lot from his biological mother and godmother in the past year, and his acting skills have also improved by leaps and bounds.

I dare not say anything else, but there is nothing wrong with filming a period martial arts TV series.

"That's good."

With his guarantee, Lai Shuiqing felt relieved and immediately chatted with Lin Xuan about his assigned role.

Lin Xuan gave him the casting rights for Yin Li, and as expected, he chose Chen Zihan.

She played the role of Lan Fenghuang in Ren Xianqi's version of "The Swordsman". Lai Shuiqing valued her and worked with her in many dramas.

Chen Zihan's performance as Yin Li was good. Lin Xuan nodded in agreement after reading the photos and resume.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the audition officially began, and actors entered the conference room one after another.

Because of the emotional scene with Lin Xuan, there were quite a few actresses who came to audition for Yin Susu.

But after a whole morning of auditions, Lin Xuan couldn't find a suitable one.

Yin Susu is the daughter of the White-browed Eagle King. She is as beautiful as a flower, proud and willful, and is ruthless and witty in her tactics. She is very similar to Zhao Min's character.

If you want to play this role well, you must first be beautiful, and secondly, you must have a bit of a devilish temperament.

Lin Xuan muttered these two words in his mind repeatedly, and a charming face suddenly appeared in his mind.

Just then, an actress walked into the conference room.

Lin Xuan looked up and immediately laughed.

What a coincidence!
"Hello teachers, I am actor Li Xiaoran, and I am here to audition for Yin Susu today."

After speaking, she bowed slightly to everyone, and then glanced at Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan didn't speak, just smiled and nodded.

"Try these paragraphs." Lai Shuiqing selected a few plots for her to perform.

This audition was a makeup audition. Li Xiaoran was wearing a costume and a headdress, and she looked like a bad woman with every smile.

The audition ended a few minutes later, and Li Xiaoran went outside to remove her makeup and change clothes.

The crew started a discussion and finally asked Lin Xuan for his opinion.

Li Xiaoran has a suitable image and good acting skills, plus the two have collaborated before.

Lin Xuan thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Li Xiaoran changed back into his regular clothes and walked into the conference room again, looking at everyone expectantly.

Should I decide on the spot or go back and wait for notification?

"The casting rights are in your hands, you make the announcement."

Lai Shuiqing left the opportunity to Lin Xuan.

He was not polite, looked at Li Xiaoran and said:

"You acted very well, and your image and temperament are suitable. The role of Yin Susu is yours."

Hearing this, Li Xiaoran showed an excited expression on his face.

"Thank you producer, thank you director..."

Lin Xuan continued: "I'll go to the small conference room next door to sign the contract, and then take the script back and read it carefully."

Whether it's an appointment, an audition, or someone through the back door, Lin Xuan has very high requirements for them.

You must study the script and characters thoroughly before joining the team.

Only when you are well prepared in advance can everything go smoothly during the shooting.

Li Xiaoran nodded quickly: "Don't worry, Producer Lin, I will study it carefully when I get back."

"Well, you go out."

After Yin Susu was settled, Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

In the evening, the day's audition ended.

"Director Lai, I'll leave this to you, I won't be here tomorrow."

The main roles in the play have been decided, and the remaining supporting characters are not worth his time.

Lai Shuiqing understood, nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll see you when we turn on the phone."

Leave the conference room and take the elevator to the hotel lobby.

Lin Xuan was walking out when a woman suddenly stood up from the sofa in the hall.

"Director Lin!"

Lin Xuan heard the sound, stopped and turned around to look.

It turned out to be Li Xiaoran!
