Entertainment Rebirth Rhapsody

Chapter 121 Chapter 120: Audition
Zhao Baogang didn't speak, and picked up the water glass to drink water leisurely.

Shan He felt that the two had their own recommendations for the male lead, and that there might have been disputes, so he immediately responded, "I'm just making a suggestion. The final choice still needs to be discussed and discussed."

Zhao Baogang put down his water glass and said with a smile: "Xueping, if you want me to say, let's all come to audition, I am very optimistic about this script, and the right role is the first!"

"Since you all think that the audition is the decision, of course I have no problem, but is it too one-sided to simply consider acting skills!" Sun Xueping also smiled.

"Since you agreed, Xueping, let's arrange the audition. Then we can coordinate with you. How about that?"

Sun Xueping nodded, "Yes!"

Zhao Baogang turned his head to look at Shanhe.

"I have no problem. Director Zhao will let me know when the time comes and I will join in the fun!" Shanhe replied with a smile.

After talking about the selection of the main characters, Zhao Baogang communicated with Sun Xueping on the filming team and location selection.

"For the shooting in the hospital, Xueping needs you to arrange the venue. If you have special requirements, we can set it up on site!"

"No problem, I've already contacted the venue. It's in Shanghai, Shanhe. Has your agent communicated with you about the investment amount?" Sun Xueping turned to ask Shanhe.

Shanhe nodded, and replied: "I will contribute 5.00% of the amount in the same proportion, and the investment in the script will account for %. This is the final result of my discussion with Aunt Qu."

After Zhao Baogang and Sun Xueping glanced at each other, they nodded, "Okay, Xin Baoyuan will contribute 20.00% of the capital in the same proportion, and the rest will be divided equally between you, Shanghai TV Station and Beijing TV Drama Production Center, and the cost of the filming team will be calculated separately."

After the three people basically agreed on the investment ratio and preliminary preparations, Shanhe said goodbye to the two of them, turned around and walked out of the hotel.

Sun Xueping watched Shanhe leave, and suddenly said to Zhao Baogang: "This kid will be in trouble in the future, we still have to give him some leeway, he will be in the circle in the future, we have to be cautious about the monk's face and the Buddha's face!"

Zhao Baogang nodded, "I know, I won't embarrass him. This kid knows how to measure, but he can't pass the test of Lu Yi's acting skills. I guess this kid won't agree to him being the leading role!"

Sun Xueping sighed, and replied: "You are all opposed, but I can still force him to take part, let's audition! I tried my best, and no one can blame me!"

"Haha! I understand." Zhao Baogang responded with a smile, "Shanhe is actually right. Wang Zhiwen is quite suitable, but the heat is almost a little bit."

Shanhe received a call from Zhao Baogang two days later, and the audition will begin tomorrow at the Magic City TV Station.

The next morning, Shanhe and Qu Ling arrived at the Magic City TV station on time.

The production manager led them into a spacious studio, which was furnished simply, with a few seats and a few white coats.

After Shanhe greeted Zhao Baogang, Sun Xueping and the others, he followed them and sat on the chairs beside them.

"Let's get started!" Zhao Baogang said loudly when he saw that everyone was here.

The first one to come in was Chen Kun. Shanhe didn't like him because he was too immature, and he didn't feel like a doctor in the emergency room at all.

However, Shanhe didn't express any opinions during the audition. After Chen Kun finished his opinion on the doctor, Zhao Baogang asked him to audition for a few episodes. After they exchanged whispers with each other, he asked Chen Kun to go back and wait for the announcement. .

Shanhe knew that Chen Kun was eliminated.

Next, both Hu Bin and Zhou Jie completed their auditions. Hu Bin is so handsome, and Zhou Jie seems to be acting more perfunctorily, probably because of another role.

It can be seen that everyone is not very satisfied.

It's Lu Yi's turn next.

"Lu Yi, you have read the script, tell me how you feel!"

Lu Yi said seriously: "Doctors are a noble profession who save lives and heal the wounded, especially doctors in the emergency room..."

Lu Yi praised the profession of a lot of doctors, and then began to describe his direction and method of shaping the character.

It sounded too formalistic to Shanhe, and it felt like he was giving lessons to others. Of course, Shanhe was a layman, so he didn't express his views.

But then Lu Yi's performance really made Shanhe's eyes sharp. Lu Yi is still suitable for acting in his true colors. "Never Close My Eyes" is quite suitable to play a student. Putting on a white coat is really exciting!

After Sun Xueping watched Lu Yi's performance, she knew that this role had nothing to do with him. The acting was too stereotyped and the traces of acting were too heavy. It was okay to play a supporting role. The male and female protagonists of this drama were the eye-catchers. Lu Yi's acting skills were poor. too much.

"Lu Yi, your audition is over, go back and wait for news!" Zhao Baogang told Lu Yitong calmly.

"Thank you!" Lu Yi turned around and left. He was not disappointed at all. After all, he was a celebrity and all the characters looking for him had to queue up.

Only Wang Zhiwen was left. He seemed very relaxed. After all, he knew most of the people sitting here and had worked with Zhao Baogang several times. He originally wanted to come over to support Zhao Baogang. He had no demands for the male lead. After all, the previous few people were all A popular niche, an idol, whose popularity cannot be compared to his own.

"Zhiwen, have you read the entire script?"

"No, you didn't give me the complete script either!"

"Then tell me what you think of the character based on the part you've seen!"

"Emergency doctors are busy and can encounter anything. I heard that most doctors have stayed in the emergency room, which shows its importance in the hospital. I feel that after staying in a place like the emergency room for a long time, I’m basically numb, I’ve seen too many things, and I’m not surprised by all kinds of people. According to the script I’ve read, the male protagonist is a competent doctor, but a little too emotional..."

Wang Zhiwen spoke very casually, but it was obvious that he had more experience.

As for acting skills, Wang Zhiwen slapped the previous actors. The doctor he auditioned had a unique scorn, and his thin cheeks and squinted eyes gave people a sense of joy.

This is in line with Shanhe's character setting. A diaosi in the emergency department who lives in the hospital is somewhat similar to Hao Weizhen.

Zhao Baogang's expression also relaxed. After discussing with Sun Xueping in a low voice, he gave Shanhe a wink. Seeing Shanhe nodded, he smiled and said, "Zhiwen, do you have a schedule?"

"Baogang, do you want me to be the protagonist?"

"Why, you don't want to!"

"Hey, I'm not stupid. Give me the complete script. Can you arrange a role experience? Get me in quickly. The part of the script I read is okay. You can pay me according to the market price!"

"I just like your cheerfulness! Come on, you go to the theater manager to get the script, and sign the contract tomorrow!"

Shanhe quietly watched the actor's confirmation from the side. His bottom line was that his acting skills were passable, at least %. If the actor or actress didn't act well, no matter how great the script was, the audience would be upset!

Shanhe is very satisfied with Wang Zhiwen's decision. His appearance is a bit old, but he can make up for it!
After the male lead was confirmed, it was already noon. After lunch, they rested for a while at Modu TV Station, waiting for the female lead's audition in the afternoon.

"Shanhe, the audition in the afternoon is not only about deciding on the heroine, but also a few supporting actresses. Do you have any recommendations, and if so, book the roles first?" Zhao Baogang asked in the lounge.

Shanhe shook his head, "Director Zhao, I won't express my opinion this afternoon. Where did I come from for a recommendation? You guys just make up your mind. I'll just learn."

Ha ha…

Several people laughed.

"There are more actors coming in the afternoon, Zhou Xun, Chen Hong, Li Bingbing, Li Xiaoran, more than a dozen actresses, the audition of actresses is different from that of male actors, TV dramas are different from movies, and their broadcast period is longer, so it is different from the role's audition. Fit and appearance are both important, and the length must match the audience's aesthetic!" Sun Xueping explained to Shanhe with a smile.

Shanhe nodded and responded: "It just can't be too ugly!"

"Haha!" Zhao Baogang smiled and gave a thumbs up, "You are right. Movie characters often need to be distinctive and recognizable. TV dramas also need it, but the degree of need is not that great. The most important thing is to be in line with the public. Aesthetics! In addition to special characters, clear appearance is the foundation!"

"Seniors, I'm kidding, I'll take care of you in the future!" Shanhe responded with arched hands.

During the afternoon audition, Shanhe was a crowd-pleaser throughout the whole process.

Seeing all the beautiful actresses performing their roles in front of the stage, Shanhe understood why there are so many dirty things in this industry.

Not everyone can control their bottom line well, and not everyone has their own bottom line.

The scenery is infinitely beautiful, but it’s just a matter of seeing people’s hearts!

In Shanhe's opinion, Zhou Xun and Li Bingbing were the most suitable, but both of them were a little thin at this time.

Chen Hong deserves to be called the most beautiful woman in China at this time. She is very charming and has the smell of a mature woman, but she is not suitable for the positioning of the role.

Li Xiaoran is still a little white flower at this time, and her temperament cannot support the heroine!
Shanhe also saw several familiar actresses, Zhang Yan, Ma Yili, Qin Lan and so on.

At this time, they were just young actors who had just debuted, and the auditions were all supporting roles of nurses and patients.

The attraction of Zhao Baogang and Shanhe to the actors is not small!
Shanhe watched as several people around him continued to discuss the allocation of roles in a soft voice, and actresses passed by one after another.

Qin Lan was the last actor to audition.

She was still a complete newcomer at this time, and this was probably her first decent audition.

Shan He looked at her nervous expression and his expression became distorted. Sun Xueping shook her head and was about to end it.

"Your name is Qin Lan, right? Relax. You are nervous in front of us. Why are you facing the camera? I'll give you 2 minutes to adjust!" Shan He looked at this charming little girl in his memory and pulled her casually. Bundle.

Qin Lan looked up at Shanhe, she knew the identity of this young man, and said gratefully: "Thank you!"

She quickly patted her cheeks with her hands, jumped up and down, and relaxed a little.

"You act like a patient with stomachache goes to the doctor, and Xiao Li goes up to give her a show!" Sun Xueping glanced at Shanhe and said.

After relaxing, Qin Lan still acted normally. At a glance, it was clear that he was not a professional actor. His acting skills were a bit exaggerated and his expressions seemed a bit fake.

"Okay, you can play this role. You go next door to the theater manager to sign a contract, and he will introduce you to you as a reward!" Sun Xueping decided.

Shanhe was a little surprised, and glanced sideways at Sun Xueping, who smiled and said, "Shanhe, this girl has beautiful eyebrows and eyes, she has some potential, but she is inexperienced and hasn't studied acting systematically, but she is qualified to play a patient, a newcomer Well, you learn quickly!”

Shanhe laughed, he knew that Sun Xueping cast a small supporting role for his sake, and he gave her kindness, so I have to continue!
"Sister Sun, you really have a sharp gaze and a sharp eye for pearls! Miss Qin Lan, you should thank Teacher Sun for your appreciation!" She can now say a few words in the mountains and rivers scene.

After hearing this, Qin Lan quickly bowed to the two of them, "Thank you two teachers for your tolerance. I will try my best to play the role well and will not hold back the crew!"

Qin Lan left the room with excitement and apprehension.There are only a few people in the chairs left in the studio.

Zhao Baogang picked up the form on the table and waved it, "We've finished auditioning for the show. Now there are only two roles left, the heroine and the head nurse, that haven't been decided yet. Let's talk about it!"

"Li Bingbing is great! She just won an international award. Don't worry about her acting skills, and the pay is also suitable."

"It's more appropriate for you to say that to Zhou Xun. He has already won an award, and his popularity is not low. The salary is a bit higher, but it's worth it!"

Zhao Baogang rubbed the lines between his eyebrows, "Just Zhou Xun, ask Li Bingbing if he plays the role of head nurse. If not, I'll ask Luo Qiong to play the role!"

Zhao Baogang spoke, and no one had any objections. The cast list was basically decided, and some minor supporting roles were left to the assistant director to select.

Shanhe stood up and was about to leave, when Sun Xueping said, "Director Zhao, both male and female protagonists need character experience, right? Can your filming team give me a detailed time budget, I have to consider publicity and TV shows." You have to give me a copy of the budget for the cost of costumes and props!"

"My great producer, the actors have just been selected. How can the shooting plan and cost budget be released so quickly? Half a month. I will give you the things in half a month. Magic City TV has invested money and is not going to broadcast it on its own?" Zhao Baogang responded with a wry smile.

"I'm following the rules. As for the other things, let's talk about it separately. Even if the Magic City TV station chooses to broadcast the first round, it will still have to be paid in real money. Besides, there will be a second round and a third round!" Sun Xueping! The answer was a little tough.

Afterwards, the two began to discuss the collaboration between the filming team and the publicity team.

This day's experience allowed Shanhe to see all kinds of TV dramas being filmed. Shanhe realized that to be a director, you must have your own team, from casting to shooting, from budget to publicity, you must have a trustworthy set of people.

In the past, my own cognition was very narrow, thinking that as long as you have talent, ideas, and technology, you can make things happen. He took directors too easily.

How those cross-industry directors operated in later generations will not be pursued. In this era, it is not just an actor who is familiar with the industry who can pull together a reliable team.

It's no wonder that most of the directors come from the film academy. The film academy has a complete range of majors, and the students are the best team!
