Chapter 223 Cute and Charming

Du Sheng looked normal, and said calmly:

"After they sobered up, they went back to their rooms. You were probably dazzled."

In this kind of situation, not to mention my own brother, even my own mother cannot admit it.

Seeing Du Sheng so calm, Zhang Haolong touched his head and felt a little confused.

"After filming today's scene, you'll wrap up. Are you planning to return to Hong Kong first?"

In order to avoid gossip, Du Sheng simply changed the subject.

What surprised him was that Zhang Haolong shook his head unexpectedly:
"After being trained by Uncle Huang, I actually miss it a little bit. I plan to go there first to practice some basic skills!"

Wang Yaoyang looked at him strangely, wondering if he had lost his mind.

In fact, Zhang Haolong was a little overwhelmed after watching the boxing match in Neon and going to the nightclub that day.

The people over there didn't know Zhang Baizhi at all, and he didn't have much money on him at the time, so the girls ignored him.

Especially when compared with Du Sheng, who went to Japan for the first time but was sought after by hundreds of Chinese, he felt very ashamed.

If he didn't make some changes, he was worried that he would really become a puddle of mud.

Du Sheng looked Zhang Haolong up and down, and seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, he nodded slightly and said:
"That's good. I'll learn some skills from you. Even if I don't become an actor in the future, I'll have a skill to rely on."

Why can military training in the army change a person's character?

In fact, the same principle applies to Huang Deli.

"Brother Sheng, we've been delayed for so long today, I guess we'll have to shoot later."

Wang Yaoyang saw Du Sheng standing up and walked towards the bus with his things:

"Tomorrow the film Chinese Paladin 1 will hold an internal audition. Are you still going?"

Since no one can guess what the grudges are between the producers of "The Mouse Loves the Cat" and "The Vinegar Tribe",
I don’t know what Wang Jing and Wang Zhonglei talked about.

They couldn't gossip any more, so they just got back to talking about the matter at hand.

The audition meeting for "Chinese Paladin 1" has already been scheduled to be held at the Beijing Marriott Hotel tomorrow, and representatives from the four major investors will be in attendance.

Du Sheng thought about it, unsure about the progress of today's shooting:
"We'll see what the situation is then. I'll go over there when I'm free."

He just left for two days the day before yesterday. As the lead actor has a lot of scenes to play, it would be difficult for him to leave the set all the time.

In addition, the post-production of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" is about to be completed, and I have to meet with Lai Shuiqing in a few days to discuss the release and promotion matters, which also takes time.

However, since Miracle Studio has Ye Jingzhi as its representative, Du Sheng is not worried about the casting of "Chinese Paladin 1".

After all, many roles are invited internally, so it depends on who is more suitable.

Today's shooting progress was exactly as Wang Yaoyang expected, and it ended at ten o'clock in the evening.

The original schedule was not completed and everyone was exhausted.

In addition, perhaps due to the situation in the morning, the atmosphere on the set was a bit low.

Many people have reduced their outings and gone to bed early.

Du Sheng has a "special physique" and his mental state is relatively good.

But the two girls are not very motivated. It seems that I will have to attack them from both sides tonight.

The next day, Marriott Hotel.

The crew of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 1" will hold internal auditions as scheduled.

Early in the morning, Ye Jingzhi, as a representative of Miracle Studio, came to the audition site with Yang Mi and Liu Shishi.

At the same time, Liu Xiaoli also brought Liu Yifei into the hotel.

"How come my cousin is not available for such an important audition?"

Liu Yifei couldn't help but mutter to herself.

Liu Xiaoli comforted:

"Didn't you say something happened on the set yesterday and you couldn't leave?

Besides, you are just going through the motions, it doesn’t matter whether you come or not.”

Liu Yifei: “…”

Is there ever a time when being a mother is so devastating?
Liu Xiaoli ignored her and walked over to greet Ye Jingzhi who was coming towards her:
"Morning, Miss Ye."

As she spoke, she looked at the two little girls behind Ye Jingzhi.

It is indeed beautiful and attractive, no wonder Miracle Studio values ​​it so much.

Liu Yifei was also looking at Yang Mi and Liu Shishi, all with a bit of curiosity.

The three of them all have a special relationship with Du Sheng, and all of them are girls of about the same age who have come to audition with Du Sheng.

With so many factors combined, it would be a bit false to say that you have never heard of the other party.

"You guys are up pretty early, you can go put on makeup first."

Ye Jingzhi smiled and nodded at Liu Xiaoli, her eyes fell on Liu Yifei, and reminded her:
"Today I'm mainly looking at the makeup test results. The temperament and appearance are quite a plus."

Liu Xiaoli understood that this was probably Du Sheng's good intention, and said with a smile:
"Understood, Miss Ye, go ahead and do your work. I'll take them to the dressing room."

Ye Jingzhi did have something to discuss with the representatives of several parties, so she looked at Yang Mi and Liu Shishi and said:
"Then you should go put on your makeup first. Remember to relax during the audition and treat it normally."

"Sister Ye, go and get busy."

Although the two girls were a little nervous, they responded obediently and took the initiative to walk towards Liu Yifei.

85 The three flowers gather at the top of the head and meet officially.

After chatting for a while, Liu Xiaoli took Liu Yifei, Yang Mi and Liu Shishi into the dressing room.

Ye Jingzhi walked to the left and came to a spacious meeting room.

Zhong Zhen and Li Dachao, representing Zhongyao Pictures, and Chen Yamei and Liang Guoguan, representing Zhujiang TV, had already arrived at the audition room.

Yao Zhuangxian and Luo Ting from Ruanxing Technology arrived later because they had to rush from Modulo.

The audition started at nine o'clock, and everyone sat around the conference table, sipping tea and chatting.

Ye Jingzhi's arrival made the atmosphere more lively. Zhong Zhen smiled and joked:

"Mr. Ye, there are quite a few actors invited today, and they are all improvising. Please don't be too strict with them." Ye Jingzhi smiled lightly and responded:
“Although this drama is based on a fantasy story, its core is closer to a romance drama.

The casting is naturally based on the appearance and image, and as for the acting skills, it’s fine as long as they are adequate.”

After hearing this, Li Dachao teased:
"Hearing what you said, I have to adjust my mindset. I was originally thinking of setting a threshold."

He was Zhongyao's newly signed director, and he really wanted to show off his skills.

Now that I hear this internal decision, I feel a little disappointed.

Because once the requirements are lowered, the effect of the entire film will be poor.

Zhong Zhen seemed to see something and said with a smile:

“Old Li, don’t think that the casting is random. In fact, you will know after the audition that the roles are invited based on the standards they meet.

In addition, lowering the acting skills does not mean hiring people randomly, everything still depends on the crew.

Do you really think that we are just playing house with such a huge investment? "

After hearing this, Li Dachao realized that he had been thinking in the wrong direction and adjusted his mindset slightly.

Ye Jingzhi glanced at everyone and said seriously:

“We need to clarify the target audience of this drama.

Xianxia is just a cover, the real core is what we should pursue, don’t be fooled by the gimmicks of adaptation. "

Liang Guowan nodded slightly.

Love is always the theme of TV dramas, and fairy tales, martial arts, and romance are just a change of framework.

As a director appointed by Zhujiang TV, he also raised his views:
“In addition to the fit of the characters, details such as the shots, lines, and music all need to be carefully polished.

Only by grasping these can we hook the audience and leave a deep impression..."

After chatting for a while, Yao Zhuangxian and Luo Ting finally arrived.

Before we knew it, it was nine o'clock, the invited artists had basically finished their makeup, and the audition officially began.

Everyone walked into the audition room and sat around the table.

Ye Jingzhi, Yao Zhuangxian and Zhong Zhen sat in the middle, and the two directors sat beside them.

This shows the balance of power between producers and investors.

The first actor to step into the audition room surprised Ye Jingzhi.

"Good morning, judges."

Zuo Xiaoqing glanced around the audition room and stepped forward to salute:
"My name is Zuo Xiaoqing, and this time I want to audition for the role of Lin Yueru."

She is a female artist under Wang Jinhua, slightly inferior to the 'Shuang Bing'.

He has appeared in well-known TV series such as "The God of Wealth Comes", "The Qianlong Dynasty", and "The Famous Detective Shocks Kanto".

This time I came for the audition thanks to Ye Jingzhi's relationship.

Everyone also knew that those who could come for the audition had some connection, and they couldn't help but carefully observe Zuo Xiaoqing's costume style.

Although her ancient costume look is not three-dimensional, her face is soft and her temperament is good, revealing oriental gentleness and beauty, giving people a soft and friendly feeling.

She chose a blue dress, which did not show the heroic spirit of the only daughter of the leader of the martial arts world. Instead, it made her look more like a princess in a historical drama.

But this cannot be blamed on Zuo Xiaoqing.

Because she came on short notice and didn't understand the script well, she unconsciously interpreted the role according to her expertise.

Zhong Zhen smiled and asked:
"Ms. Zuo, we have worked together twice before. You haven't played a role involving martial arts or a savage and willful character before, right?"

Zuo Xiaoqing answered frankly:
"Indeed, I came here this time just to challenge myself and learn something, hoping to broaden my acting range."

In fact, Wang Jinhua also knew that she had little hope.

The reason why she made the trip was not only because it was nearby, but also to try her luck and see how photogenic she would be.

"It's okay. Please perform a clip of Lin Yueru and Li Xiaoyao meeting for the first time."

As expected, the result was somewhat different from Lin Ruyue's willful and arrogant charm.

Zuo Xiaoqing also realized that her temperament didn't quite match the role, so she smiled and said goodbye and left.

Actually, she wanted to audition for the role of Zhao Linger, but unfortunately she knew her chances were slim, so she was cast as the second female lead.

Next, several more actresses came to audition for the role of Lin Yueru or Anu.

Only the roles of Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Linger have received little attention.

Because everyone guessed that the male lead of the big-budget drama had already been selected, and the female lead could not be cast outside.

Not long after, it was finally Liu Yifei's turn.

She wore a light blue dress with pink and yellow prints and accessorized with a pair of long linear earrings.

Her hair was done in two cute and lively buns, decorated with pink pearl tassels.

Coupled with her fresh and refined face, she looks like an innocent little fairy.

Directors Li Dachao and Liang Guowan were both mesmerized by the performance. Even Ye Jingzhi couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Full of vitality and fairy spirit.

This is simply the incarnation of Zhao Linger!

Her look is so beautiful.

Cute and charming.

After Li Dazhao came back to his senses, he couldn't help but sigh:

“I have to say that President Yao’s vision is indeed outstanding.

Even without an internal recommendation, she would definitely win the role based on her look and performance."

Zhong Zhen and Ye Jingzhi, who knew the inside story, looked at each other, smiled and said nothing.

If it weren't for Du Sheng's advice and guidance, how could Liu Yifei's appearance be so appropriate.
