Chapter 185 Casting Completed
On the day of the audition, Lin Yuan met the actor recommended by Yi Chenggong.
"Hello Representative Lin, my name is He Sheng..."
This is a young actor, what should I say about his appearance?
Standing with Lin Yuan, He Sheng's appearance is really ordinary, even some passers-by.
But standing with the butler Shen Qing, He Sheng is probably considered a handsome guy in the eyes of ordinary people.
And if he was standing with Yi Chenggong, He Sheng could be said to be the jade-faced Pan An!
But at this time He Sheng was very close to Lin Yuan, so he was a serious passerby.
Especially in front of Lin Yuan, his instinctive nervousness made him look a bit ordinary...
"Hello."
Lin Yuan showed a smile that met the expectations of the society, and nodded to the heads of various departments of the crew that Yi Chenggong and Shen Qing had pulled up in the past two days:
"Let's start auditioning."
Shen Qing nodded, and everyone began to audition.
The first person to audition was He Sheng. Faced with this so-called director recommender, Shen Qing actually frowned slightly.
Not only Shen Qing.
The heads of several other departments in the crew also had some headaches.
It's not how bad He Sheng is.
It's because He Sheng is a rookie who has been in the industry for three years and has no reputation at all. If an unknown person plays the leading role, he will naturally lose his box office appeal.
But Lin Yuan didn't speak, so the audition could only go on as usual.
Pretty routine audition.
There is no fancy request, just ask He Sheng to act according to a certain segment in the script.
During the waiting period for the audition, everyone has read part of the script in advance, so there is no need to temporarily read the script and act according to it.
He Sheng was a little nervous at first, but after entering the acting mode, he suddenly changed into a different person, and quickly entered the role.
The clip of his performance, the clip of Tang Bohu wanting to enter Washington.
He suddenly lowered his body and picked up a dead cockroach...
Shen Qing and the others were stunned for a moment, not knowing where He Sheng found the cockroach, but everyone saw it clearly, it was clearly a real cockroach...
"cockroach!"
"Xiaoqiang, what's wrong with you? Xiaoqiang, Xiaoqiang, you can't die! I've been with you for so many years... I've treated you as my own flesh and blood and taught you to raise you for so many years. I can't think of a white-haired person giving a black-haired person today..."
He Sheng held the cockroach, wept loudly, beat his chest and stamped his feet.
The attention of Shen Qing and the others has shifted from the cockroach itself to He Sheng's performance.
What is this?
Dead cockroach, what about you?
To say that the crying scene is real, but it feels routine, which is obviously a very exaggerated performance; if the crying scene is fake, He Sheng's sad appearance really looks like that. The emotion involved is beyond anyone's imagination...
Anyway, Shen Qing and the others were dumbfounded.
Even though they had read the script and knew the cause and effect, they still couldn't help being a little confused.
Yi Chenggong looked at Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan's expression didn't change much.
Lin Yuan decided on the performance script. He intentionally eliminated the part of the performance guidance and only gave the lines, while the specific performances were left to the actors themselves.
As a result, He Sheng's performance was very close to the guidance part that was eliminated from Lin Yuan's script.
It's this kind of real and fake crying scene.
Too true to appear serious, too fake and loses joy.
This is a matter of proportion.
Shen Qing and the others also looked at Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan asked, "Where did the cockroach come from?"
Shen Qing and the others couldn't laugh or cry, is this really the point?
"I found it in the toilet."
He Sheng said in embarrassment.
Lin Yuan nodded, and didn't make a decision right away, but let the next people come in to audition.
He Sheng left anxiously.
For the next few actors who auditioned for the leading role, Lin Yuan did not comment.
Until the end of the audition, everyone began to discuss.
Yi Chenggong directly recommended He Sheng.
Shen Qing shook his head and said, "He Sheng's performance, isn't it too much? A dead cockroach is not enough, but it gives people a sense of exaggeration..."
The people behind Shen Qing also nodded.
Yi Chenggong couldn't help but said: "From a professional perspective, He Sheng's performance is of course a bit exaggerated, but I think He Sheng's performance mode is at least in line with the logic of the script..."
Someone retorted: "If you don't choose a professional background, do you choose a wild way?"
Yi Chenggong shook his head: "You can read the information, He Sheng is indeed from a major."
The assistant director next to him frowned and said, "But I watched his performance, he was not at all professional."
"..."
After a discussion, everyone couldn't come up with any results, so they couldn't help but look at Lin Yuan.
"He Sheng."
Lin Yuan said.
Shen Qing and the others hesitated to speak, and in the end they could only resign themselves to their fate and stop speaking.
It was originally the words of this star-burdened young man, even if everyone objected, it would be useless.
It's as if someone persuaded Lin Yuan to change the script before, but Lin Yuan was not willing at all.
Yi Chenggong smiled.
It turns out that not only me, but the entire crew of "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" are all tools represented by Lin.
All you have to do is do your job well.
After deciding on the protagonist, the rest of the casting is relatively easy.
Shen Qing and the others seldom expressed their opinions. It was almost Lin Yuan and Yi Chenggong who discussed and decided on all the actors.
However, during the casting process, everyone got a glimpse of some of the selection criteria of this representative Lin:
Don't be handsome.
Don't choose beautiful ones, try to choose ugly ones, or in other words, choose ones with distinctive looks.
Shen Qing agrees with this point.
The supporting role in a comedy is to choose someone who looks a little different.
That is, the four fragrances of spring, summer, autumn and winter, Lin Yuan deliberately chose a more beautiful actress.
Especially Qiuxiang...
This is probably the most suitable heroine candidate for Shen Qing and the others, because Qiu Xiang's face is very beautiful!
More importantly, Qiuxiang is famous!
This is a second-tier actress whose stage name is Yu Xilu.
Yu Xilu still has some works, and her appearance is also somewhat classically beautiful, but Yu Xilu's acting skills are very average, so she has been evaluated as a "vase" by many people since her debut.
If it was the casting of other film and television dramas, Shen Qing and others would definitely not like Yu Xilu's vase.
But look at the rest of the actors Lin Yuan cast...
Even the director looks a bit wretched...
Shen Qing and the others felt that Yu Xilu's choice as an actor was reliable after all.
At least Yu Xilu is pretty and has a certain reputation!
Regardless of whether the fame is due to acting skills or appearance.
Anyway, if you have to choose one, Shen Qing and others all think that Yu Xilu is the perfect casting choice.
The male and female protagonists and important supporting roles have been selected.
Lin Yuan said: "Get ready to put filming on the agenda."
Shen Qing and the others nodded, and they had fully realized the awareness of being Lin Yuan's tools. Accompanying the prince to study, he did not seek merit but no fault.
Yi Chenggong is full of fighting spirit.
Although he is a tool man, but Yi Chenggong is definitely the most willing one among all the people!
Call it a day.
I will write the part about the official shooting tomorrow.
By the way, not everyone likes Zhou Xingchi, young people like it more, audiences in their 30s and 40s are actually okay, anyway, my mother is the first one I have ever seen who looks confused when watching a Stephen Chow movie.
Older people are really not easy to get.
Young people are more able to get it.
In fact, even Gong Li, Zheng Peipei and others were very confused when they were filming, as I said in this interview.
Even though Zhou Xingchi was already famous at that time
