Chapter 663 The Protagonist of "Ready Player One"

Male protagonist, this is really a tangled question.

In the original version of "Ready Player One," Spielberg cast Tal Sheridan, who is considered a rising star in Hollywood.

He made his debut in 2011 and has been acting in movies since he entered the entertainment industry. His debut film was with a big star like Brad Pitt. It can be said that the road to stardom is very smooth.

After acting in several movies, he joined the "X-Men" universe within a few years and became the famous Cyclops among the X-Men.

Maybe Tyr Sheridan's international reputation is average, but he is still quite well-known in North America. He is a bit like Peng Yuchang in North America, no, he has developed better than Peng Yuchang.

When Wu Yuan wanted to choose the leading actor for his Chinese version of "Ready Player One", his first thought happened to be Peng Yuchang.

Peng Peng is really suitable for the role of the male protagonist in "Ready Player One", both in terms of personality and appearance.

But the sad thing is that it is only 2013, and Peng Yuchang is still a newbie.

It will still be two years before "The Princess's Promotion", where he became famous since his debut, will be aired.

He is probably still in school now and has never even acted in a movie. It seems a bit too casual to turn him into the leading actor of a super blockbuster with hundreds of millions of investments.

But, Wu Yuan thought about it again.

He is already a well-known director in the world, so what’s wrong with using a newcomer?

Director Zhang Yimou makes movies with new actors every day, and Cameron doesn't like to use big-name actors, so the male and female protagonists of "Avatar" are third- and fourth-tier unknown actors.

But does this affect the success of their films?

No impact at all!

Speaking of which, among the big-name directors, Wu Yuan is the only one who has never used new actors.

Including Jiang Wen, Chen Kaige and others have boldly used newcomers.

Not to mention, Wu Yuan was really moved by this thought.

"It makes no sense that others can use new people, but I don't dare!"

Thinking about his impression of Peng Yuchang, this young man is still very spiritual and he is the kind of actor who is rewarded by God.

Not long after his debut, he acted in the movie "The Elephant Sitting on the Floor" and contributed very brilliant acting skills.

Even though he has no acting experience now, as a talented actor, Wu Yuan believes that he can train him well!

Just do it!

As soon as Wu Yuan figured it out, he immediately picked up the phone and called.

"Hey, you go to the Puppet Performance Department of the Shanghai Academy of Drama and find a student named Peng Yuchang and bring him to the capital."

"reason?"

"Let him come and audition for the leading role in my new movie. But don't tell him yet. Just say he's here to audition for a role."

After saying that, Wu Yuan hung up the phone.

Not to mention, if you ask him to find other newcomers, even people like Bai Lu and Zhao Lusi who later emerged in the entertainment industry, he will definitely not be able to find them, because he has no idea where these actors are now. What to do.

But Peng Yuchang knew it!

The major this young man studied is really special, the Department of Puppetry!

After he became a little famous, this inspiring story could be seen everywhere on the Internet.

It is said that because Peng Yuchang loved acting very much, he tried his best to enter the acting department of three major universities, but failed. In desperation, in order to enter the acting academy, he accepted the adjustment and was inserted into the cold puppet performance department. Specialized in tooth loss.

Then when I was in school, I kept running to the performance department to take courses.

Not to mention, he really got a chance. After graduation, he still found a chance to enter the entertainment industry, and this is how Peng Yuchang became.

Inspiring, very inspiring.

Wu Yuan accidentally read this self-media article and remembered it. Now it is very convenient to find him!

The next day.

A word from the boss can cause employees to lose their legs.

Just after Wu Yuan gave the order yesterday, a talent scout from the Light and Shadow Era was dispatched immediately and rushed to the Magic City overnight.

When Wu Yuan woke up, the talent scout named Li Wei had already arrived at the Magic City Drama Academy.

After revealing his identity as a member of the Light and Shadow Times Company, the teacher from the Shanghai Theater Academy warmly welcomed Li Wei and actively helped him browse the student roster.

Needless to say, the Shanghai Theater Academy has always been able to keep a low profile in front of the two institutions of China Theater and Nortel, and the Shanghai circle has never been able to compete with the Beijing circle.

Therefore, in the past few years of the Light and Shadow Era, only a handful of artists have signed contracts with Shanghai theaters, and their cooperation with Shanghai circles has been almost zero.

Wu Yuan has been a native of Beijing for his whole life, and his connections are all around Nortel and China Theater Schools, so naturally he doesn't have much pursuit of going to theater.

This is also the first time in the light and shadow era that someone has been sent to the theater to select actors. In the eyes of the theater teacher, this is an ice-breaking operation!

Soon, within ten minutes, Peng Yuchang, a student in the puppet performance department, was personally taken to the teacher's office by his counselor.

Finding a student at school is really easy.

It's even easier to find someone in a department with only a few dozen students.

When Peng Yuchang was brought to the office, he was completely confused.

Even on the way here, he thought about it ten thousand times. Did he do anything bad in the past few days? Why did the teacher have to talk to him in person?

He also does bad things!

"Teacher Chen, classmate Peng Yuchang brought it."

"Thank you for your hard work. Go get busy first."

The head of the acting department waved his hand amiably, and Peng Yuchang finally realized that it was not because he had made any mistakes that the teacher wanted to talk to him.

He finally noticed that there was another man in a suit in the office.

"Hello, are you Peng Yuchang?"

Li Wei smiled and took the initiative to extend his hand to shake hands with Peng Yuchang. Without waiting for the dean to say anything, he took the initiative to say: "I am a scout from Light and Shadow Times."

"It's like this. Our company has a movie in preparation and is recruiting actors. The director accidentally saw your information and was very satisfied with your image. I hope you can go to Beijing for an audition."

"I won't beat around the bush with you. This is Director Wu Yuan's new movie. You should know how important his movies are to our Chinese actors. It is definitely an honor to be able to participate in it."

"So I hope you can go back to the dormitory immediately to pack your luggage and bring a few sets of clothes. We will rush back to Beijing in the afternoon."

"Is it okay?"

Very good. Peng Yuchang, who had just recovered, was confused again, and even more confused than before.

Director Wu Yuan's new movie?

Audition?

Me?

He looked at the dean in astonishment. Could this man be a liar?

But if he could deceive the dean of the acting department to believe it, then he should believe it too, right?

"Student Peng Yuchang, I have already written your leave application. Don't worry, there will be no problem at school." The department head obviously misunderstood Peng Yuchang's look and said encouragingly. (End of this chapter)
