Chapter 78 Related Households
Three days later, Zhang Yuan arrived near the Capital Theatre on time.
Zhou Xiaowen called him at the time and repeatedly reminded him to keep the audition and casting confidential and not to tell anyone.
Do you want to keep it a secret that you are casting at the Capital Theatre?
Why don’t you go to the Great Hall of the People and keep it a secret?
Zhang Yuan thought to himself that it was only because the National Grand Theatre had not been completed yet, otherwise, given Zhang Da Huzi's flamboyant and pretentious style, he would have rented the place.
Sure enough, as soon as I arrived at the gate of the Capital Theatre, I saw a bunch of cameras and it was very lively.
What Zhang Da Huzi is best at is hype!
Of the films directed by Zhang Yuan, only "Conquer" has been aired, and that was on a local TV station, and he played a small role that only appeared in a few episodes.
None of these reporters and media took him seriously; they were just passing by to join in the fun.
"Look, it's Lu Yi!" A black business car stopped and opened its side. Surrounded by several security guards, a young and handsome man strode into the theater gate.
"Fuck, Zhao Wei."
The reporters were extremely excited. Lao Yanzi was a popular young actress in recent years. As soon as she appeared, the flash lights immediately flashed.
In addition to these people, Zhang Yuan also saw Jiang Qinqin, Xu Jinglei, and even the hairdressing master Li Xiaolu.
Zhang Yuan unconsciously wanted to rap...
"None of the actors from the main film have arrived." Zhang Yuan looked for a while, then staggered to the back door.
He remembered that Big Beard had hyped that he wanted to ask Kim Hee Sun to play Ah Zhu.
Although Zhang Jizhong has a wide network of contacts, most of these people come here just to "show off".
Because of his stinginess, most of the popular actors are unwilling to lower their prices to perform in the film.
Like old lady Qiong Yao, they are a famous pair of "Pi Xiu" in the circle. The remuneration they receive is generally 1/5 or even 1/10 of the market price.
Entering from the back door, there were also many reporters guarding here, but there were a lot of security guards and a tent set up to provide shelter.
After entering, I followed the address given by Zhou Xiaowen and came to an office on the second floor.
When I pushed the door open, I saw several people already waiting inside.
Zhang Yuan took a quick look and knew that the room was full of Zhou Xiaowen's people.
"Hello everyone, my name is Zhang Yuan. Director Zhou asked me to come for an audition today." He introduced himself in a very generous manner.
"Hello." A tall and thin young man with slightly curly hair stood up.
This man is called Gao Hu. He looks a little dazed, but his eyes are very bright and he is obviously a man with ideas.
“If he hadn’t taken the wrong road, he would have been an Oscar-winning figure…” Zhang Yuan shook off the thoughts in his mind, smiled and shook hands with the other person.
"Hello, Sister Chen Hao."
"you know me?"
"You are so beautiful that almost everyone will remember you."
"Hehehe..." Chen Hao was putting on makeup. She turned around with a smile and opened her hand towards him: "Hello."
Alas, in the entire "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" crew, perhaps only Chen Hao can compete with Liu Qianqian. In fact, because she is older, she is slightly more charming.
He also graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, and his nickname when he was in school was "Chen Laokou".
Although she is a top-notch beauty, she doesn't care much about her appearance. The jacket and jeans she is wearing have turned white from washing, and the corners of her backpack are already torn.
The sneakers on his feet had even worn down his heels.
But true beauty does not rely on material things, and this does not affect her beauty among all other beauties at all.
In fact, Gao Hu was also dressed casually, but Zhang Yuan didn't stare at him.
Who would care about him when Chen Hao is around?
Speaking of which, not only are Chen Hao and Gao Hu both from the Central Academy of Drama, but their original intentions for entering the entertainment industry are also exactly the same.
Make money to treat family members.
Gao Hu's mother had a heart disease and needed surgery, while Chen Hao's father had liver cancer.
By the way, Alyssa Chia entered the entertainment industry to seek medical treatment for her father.
Because of this, these people are very hardworking.
"Are you Zhang Yuan?" A voice as clear as a gurgling spring interrupted his melancholy thoughts.
When he turned his head, he saw a delicate oval face flashing its bright eyes at him.
"Hello, Sister Danchen."
The person who spoke was Yan Danchen, whose family was healthy and well off.
Is this the reason why she didn’t become famous? Without her family being broken up, she can’t have the halo of a protagonist?
At this time, Yan Danchen had not yet starred in "The Lotus Lantern", and the most beautiful Chang'e was far from being born. Now she has red lips and white teeth, is extremely pure, and has a face so tender that water could drip out of it.
The skin is very white, how white is it exactly?
Among the people Zhang Yuan had met, besides Brother Qian, it was her Bai...
"You recognize me?"
"Of course, Brother Kun often mentioned you to me, saying that you were the most beautiful in their class."
When she called out Zhang Yuan's name just now, he realized that this person, who was in the same class as Chen Kun, must have been introduced by Kun Kun. So he simply took the initiative and praised the other person by using the name of the factory manager.
And he wasn't lying. Among the girls in Chen Kun's class, Zhao Wei was the most famous, but in terms of appearance, Yan Danchen was more beautiful.
"Hehehe..." Yan Danchen covered her mouth and chuckled, obviously enjoying it very much.
"I remember now, Lin Jing mentioned you to me!" Chen Hao also jumped up from the chair at this time, leaned close to his ear, and whispered softly.
"Your trick with the stinky tofu is really satisfying!"
Oh... Zhang Yuan understood. This girl, like Lin Jing, had also starred in "The Legend of Lü Buwei". Could Zhang Tielin let go of such a beautiful girl in the crew?
I guess he eats a lot of tofu.
"Thank you." Chen Hao stretched out his hand and high-fived him to congratulate him.
Gao Hu, who was standing beside the others, looked confused. He looked at Yan Danchen, then at Chen Hao, and finally at Zhang Yuan.
Why is it that when he comes, the two beauties are so happy as if they won the lottery!
It had only been a few minutes, but they were already being as friendly as if they were old friends who had known each other for years.
I sat there for quite some time, and they just chatted with me casually, and were far from enthusiastic.
"Please sit down. Kun praises you so much."
"Sister, do you want some melon seeds?" Zhang Yuan took out a handful from his pocket.
Ever since he joined the crew of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", he has gotten into the habit of carrying one whenever he has a scene.
On the one hand, eating melon seeds can relieve the tension before filming. On the other hand, such a "low-class" thing as eating melon seeds can easily bring people closer together.
It’s like pursuing a girl. You write letters every day, read all the famous books, but after two years you still haven’t held her hand.
But if you hand over some paper to your goddess when she is having diarrhea... of course, that is, if you are not caught stealing in the women's restroom, then the distance between the two of you will be shortened rapidly.
So people go to clubs and KTVs to discuss business, not to listen to Kunqu Opera.
"Would you like some?" Zhang Yuan grabbed another handful and came to the corner, where a girl in her 20s, about the same age as Zhang Yuan, with an oval face, big eyes and chubby cheeks, sat.
"Eating will help relieve stress, trust me."
Zhang Yuan saw that the other party had his hands interlaced with his fingers, and kept repeating the process of clenching, relaxing, and clenching again. It was obvious that he was under great pressure.
"Thank you, thank you..." He nodded timidly.
"They are all from the Central Academy of Drama and the Beijing Film Academy. People like me who were born in the countryside should be nervous." Zhang Yuan leaned forward and whispered with his hand covering his mouth.
"You didn't graduate from a professional school?" The girl's eyes lit up: "Then we are the same."
This cute little girl with bright eyes and white teeth is none other than Jiang Xin, who later became famous all over the country for her role as "Hua Fei".
In this room today, before Zhang Yuan arrived, she was the only one who was not a graduate of top schools like the Central Academy of Drama or the Beijing Film Academy.
Jiang Xin graduated from an art vocational school. She was rejected at the third try when she applied for the Central Academy of Drama, so she felt very inferior in front of these "darlings of the entertainment industry."
Gao Hu became even more depressed when he saw this.
This girl hardly spoke to anyone after she entered the room, so how come Zhang Yuan was able to open her mouth with just a few strokes?
"What role do you want to play?" Zhang Yuan asked while eating.
"I like Wang Yuyan." Jiang Xin replied immediately.
"Oh, you like Wang Yuyan too?" Yan Danchen turned her head in surprise when she heard the conversation between the two.
"Why are you the same as me!" Even Chen Hao raised her hand.
Zhang Yuan looked at Gao Hu and said, "You don't want to play Wang Yuyan, do you?"
Gao Hu: ...
Third girl: Hahahaha…
"Actually, I want to play Qiao Feng. He is the hero in my mind." Gao Hu was stunned by Zhang Yuan's words and it took him a long time to recover.
My goodness, all women want to play Wang Yuyan, and all men want to be Qiao Feng, right?
At this moment, Jiang Xin, who had just chatted with Zhang Yuan for a few words, felt depressed again.
In terms of academic qualifications and appearance, she is no match for those two.
"It's okay. There are many roles in this play." Zhang Yuan saw what she was thinking and comforted her.
In fact, the thoughts of these three people are unnecessary because the 15-year-old devil has not appeared yet.
Once she arrived, all other competitors of Wang Yuyan were eliminated.
Zhang Yuan took a look around and knew that except for Yan Danchen, the other three had all worked with Zhou Xiaowen.
Chen Hao and Gao Hu both starred in "The Legend of Lu Buwei", while Jiang Xin starred in "The Big-footed Queen Ma".
Yan Danchen is considered a member of the Beijing Film Academy gang just because she graduated from the school.
In fact, if Liu Qianqian hadn't been the only one guarding the pass, she would have been quite suitable to play Wang Yuyan.
Zhang Yuan thought to himself that it seemed that one still had to rely on connections in the film and television industry. Among these candidates, only Yan Danchen had never worked with Zhou Xiaowen, and she was the only one who was ultimately eliminated.
They chatted for a while, and finally, a staff member knocked on the door and came in.
"The first round of interviews has begun, please be prepared."
