Chapter 142 First Experience in Casting (24)

Grand View Garden is located on Nancaiyuan West Street in XC District. Shen Xudong drove here early in the morning.

Although he is only a consultant, he is still a 'teacher' of the crew. The casting starts at nine o'clock, so he has to gather quickly...

By the way, let’s understand the casting process…

This is all accumulated experience!

Oh, "Golden Branch Desire" was cast in the Grand View Garden...

He thought he was already very early, but when he arrived, a group of people surrounded the door and blocked the intersection.

Shen Xudong had never seen this battle before, so he got out of the car and called Cao Ping, who immediately told him to open the door...

After hanging up the phone and about to go in, the crowd cheered and everyone rushed in...

It was hard for Shen Xudong to squeeze in with this group of people, so he lined up at the back of the queue.

This group of people is basically all girls, with only six or seven boys in it.

That’s right, they’re all here for the audition!

From art academies across the country, or engaged in related performing arts jobs, both appearance and figure are above the average...

They are both arrogant and arrogant, and they dislike each other...

They probably regarded Shen Xudong as their opponent, and some of them even looked at him twice until the staff came to take him away.

"Did you hear what they called him?"

"Screenwriter Shen? He's Shen Xudong!"

"What a pity. I should have talked to him more just now!"

After Shen Xudong left, several girls whispered.

What a pity, Shen Xudong doesn't care at all. Besides, someone has already taken a step ahead of you!

Yesterday, I had an art exchange with Yan Danchen...

It’s all for art!

Without a lot of verbal communication and a few in-depth discussions, how can art communicate with each other?

One of them wants to get started, and the other suddenly gives me some advice!

As for the characters…

I can only say that I try my best, and Yan Danchen didn’t force it anyway...

…

Generally speaking, auditions for large casts are not like the global auditions for "Mermaid".

With a large crew, the main roles are chosen by the producer and director from among the actors they can think of and find.

Small roles are all chosen within a certain range within the circle...

This range is recommended by acquaintances and major art colleges and universities.

Shen Xudong used to think that auditions were just actors reading a line and performing...

Really not!

Actors are almost completely passive during auditions and can't prepare anything, so they can't influence the teachers' judgment of themselves through their performance!

As soon as she came in, it was already decided whether she was suitable or not!

It just depends on appearance and temperament.

Acting is a secondary factor, the image is good, as long as the acting is not held back, it will be fine!

Today is called a round of auditions, which is to screen out most of the unqualified ones...

Shen Xudong originally thought that he could meet a few rising stars. Calculating the time, it was almost time for Yang Xiaomi and Liu Shishi to debut...

Overthinking, Yang Xiaomi’s manager is Li Xiaowan, Rong Xinda’s contracted artist, how could she audition with a group of people?

As for Liu Shishi…

Anyway, Shen Xudong didn't see him.

There are so many people, but the only girl who looks familiar is Bai Jing...

Classmates of the 2002 acting class!

I guess I came here to learn and gain experience in running groups...

Bai Jing and Shen Xudong had no chance to speak for her - they were attracted as soon as they entered the door...

…

After working hard until almost eight o'clock in the evening, Shen Xudong couldn't stay any longer...

His job is to sit and watch three teachers choose...

Although he asked a lot of questions, in Shen Xudong's opinion, they were all nonsense. I felt that the secret to getting through the first round was just two words: good looks!

Just look good!

At first, they asked Shen Xudong for his opinion...

What can he say?

He doesn’t even understand!

Later, I simply stopped asking Shen Xudong...

It felt like he was sitting on the edge just to make up the numbers, completely dispensable...

If you know how boring you are, if you beat me to death, I won’t come!

After finishing work, Shen Xudong was about to leave. Cao Ping asked with him: "How do you feel?"

"... I'm afraid more than a hundred people have been selected today, right? Do we need so many actors?"

"What is this? It's just one day today, three days of auditions..."

"Three days? Three days in one round. How many rounds are there in total?"

"Three rounds...the second round is almost certain, and the last round is completely decided!"

"Then...how many actors are needed in total?"

"22..."

"Then...more than 100 people were selected today?"

"So, it's just the first round...you didn't watch it, Director Zheng didn't even come!"

Shen Xudong understood a little bit.

In the first round, choose as many as possible, just like auditions, don't miss out on good candidates.

Choose carefully in the second round...

By the way, Shen Xudong took the opportunity to talk about Yan Danchen, saying that there was an actor friend who was perfect for playing An Qian...

Cao Ping wrote down the name and asked, "Your girlfriend?"

"No, I don't have a girlfriend...just friends..."

"Okay, I get it!"

After thinking about it, Shen Xudong said: "Sister Cao, I won't come tomorrow!"

"What? Feeling bored?"

"I can't help..."

"Look at the beauty..."

Shen Xudong shook his head: "Forget it, I still have a lot of things to do..."

What’s the point of just looking at it and not being able to use it?

Cao Ping thought for a while and then said: "Okay, you can go about your business first..."

"Hey, I'm leaving then..."

Oh, Qin Wen went to discuss the plot of the episodes with the director team...

According to her, after the casting of the "Golden Boughs" crew is completed, all actors will be intensively trained in court etiquette for two months. During this time, the director team will view and select scenes, and determine the final art and costumes...

Then we started shooting, which took four months!

Based on this time, it is estimated that filming will not be possible until the end of the year, and it is estimated that it will not be broadcast until October next year.

…

In the dormitory, Shen Xudong entered the door. Zhao Xin saw him and hurriedly said hello: "Hey, the busy man is back?"

"...Um...Where's the boss?"

Zhao Linhai's bed was empty, and Shen Xudong was surprised.

"My sister-in-law rented a house outside. He will go over tonight to warm up the new house..."

Shen Xudong immediately became excited: "...are they living together?"

"That's not true...but it's almost the same."

Shen Xudong grinned: "We are the only singles in the dormitory now!"

"...What single guy?"

"Literal meaning, you can understand it yourself..."

"How can a single person be a dog..." Zhao Xin pondered for a long time, but couldn't think of a reason, so he simply changed the subject: "How do you feel about being an interviewer today? Do you feel like you have the power of life and death?"

Shen Xudong was speechless: "First of all, that's not called an interviewer...that's called a casting teacher. And I'm not a casting person, I'm just a bystander..."

"How do you feel?" Zhao Xin's expression gradually became wretched: "Have you received an invitation letter to teach the practice?"

"...What do you think? After receiving the invitation letter, I will still use it?"

"Maybe you find it boring... nothing is unusual about what happens to your kid!"

"...You're overthinking it. "Golden Branch Desire" is a regular crew..."

"Whatever is formal or informal, this is called tradition!"
