Chinese entertainment started with male models

Chapter 7: There’s nothing wrong with choosing him to play Lu Bu!
"Don't worry, Miss Naza, the crew's filming schedule remains unchanged and it won't affect your schedule."

After hearing this, Gulinaza nodded doubtfully and did not ask any more questions.

Artists don’t have to deal with all this hassle themselves. If there are any scheduling issues, just let their agents handle it.

She just got a little understanding of the situation.

Although the firefighter for the role of Lu Bu has not been found yet, Sun Qiang doesn't mind talking about it in advance.

After all, some people in the crew were more or less panicked after this incident. No matter if there was a candidate or not, even if he himself took over at that time, the show could not be stopped there.

Besides, who says there are no suitable candidates?

Regarding the role of Lu Bu, if it were a serious Three Kingdoms drama, there would definitely be a lot of requirements.

But "The Legend of Zhao Zilong" cannot be said to be similar to a serious drama, it can only be said to be completely unrelated.

Just as Teacher Liu said, adaptation is not random editing, and parody is not nonsense.

It can be said that "The Legend of Zhao Zilong" has a touch of both fabrication and nonsense.

Therefore, the requirements for selecting the character of Lu Bu can be relaxed to some extent.

However, there are strict requirements on height.

The main reason is that the male lead Lin Genxin is too tall. If they find a male artist who is about 1.7 meters tall to play Lu Bu, will Lu Bu have to look up at Zhao Yun during the scene?

That's weird.

It just so happens that there are the most male artists of this height in the circle. Anyway, Sun Qiang rejected all the tall ones he could find.

At this time, Sun Qiang was considering whether to let Bai Liang take over this vacancy.

He was not desperate and would just try any possible means to find a cure. He naturally had his reasons for wanting to use Bai Liang.

First of all, Bai Liang is very handsome and tall.

At the same time, he is not a skinny male artist. He cannot be said to be a macho man, but at least he is a little stronger than Lin Genxin.

That's enough.

Secondly, the other party also has a background.

The lady named Sister Yang who introduced Bai Liang to the crew, whose full name is Yang Xing, used to be Zhang Ziyi's agent and later went to the Hong Kong circle to hang out for a while.

She has a wide network of contacts and capital support behind her. There are also reports that Yang Xing will make another big move next year at the latest, and this time the focus of her work will not be in Hong Kong, but on the mainland.

Oh yes, there is another very important point, that is, Yang Xing’s view on cultivating artists is to take the route of a small number of high-quality products.

In Sun Qiang's opinion, although Bai Liang is a newcomer, since he has been chosen by Yang Xing, his future prospects will at least not be too bad.

As a casting director, Sun Qiang said that his vision for people might not be that strong, but he is a more down-to-earth person.

If you don't have a strong enough eye for judging people, then just copy the homework of those who are more capable.

When Yang Xing greeted him, he said that Bai Liang was a newcomer and just needed to be given a small role.

Sun Qiang did prepare a small role, but now it’s just a coincidence.

Then just give Yang Xing some face!
The entertainment industry is all about personal connections, and having someone behind you will make things easier.

So, Sun Qiang didn't even ask Bai Liang some basic questions.

For example, whether he graduated from a professional acting school, whether he had ever acted in a play, he felt that Yang Xing must have "inspected" these things for him a long time ago.

The only problem at the moment is that Bai Liang's temperament doesn't quite match the requirements.

His gentle and sunny smile is probably very attractive to girls, but he is not a traitor.

However, Sun Qiang said that as a casting director, he was also very good at "reading people". "Come on, Xiaobai, put away your smile and keep a straight face."

Bai Liang didn’t quite understand the audition process, but he respected their professionalism.

His face tightened and he subconsciously narrowed his eyes.

The cool and handsome style of his bone structure and facial features is back in an instant! Even because of the squinting action, it seems to have a bit of murderous aura.

Wow! You can!
Sun Qiang admired in his heart.

Yang Xing’s vision is indeed sharp!
When he smiles, he looks harmless, gentle, sunny and handsome. But when he tightens his face, his style changes immediately.

What does this mean? This guy has a wide range of acting skills and a changeable temperament. He is born with this talent.

This type of actor can play many roles.

Of course Lu Bu can do it, at least the Lu Bu in "The God of War Zhao Zilong" can do it.

Snapped!
Sun Qiang clapped his hands. "Okay, no problem! We'll sign the contract tomorrow. Do you want me to send it to your agent first?"

Bai Liang shook his head to indicate that he didn't need an agent, thinking that he didn't have one. But a small role with only a few lines was made quite formal. I originally thought that the salary might be the same as being a model, paid daily.

He retracted his evaluation that the crew was just a makeshift team.

It’s better to be more formal, so as to avoid being owed wages like Huang Jingyu.

I'm a little excited because I'm going to be the emperor!
The role that Sister Yang introduced to him was the emperor, and although it sounded very awesome, he actually didn't have much presence in the play.

It mainly serves as a background board and has very few lines.

Bai Liang didn't care. It would be great to experience how great it felt to be an emperor!

He did some homework before coming and looked up the life of Liu Bian, the emperor of the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

After researching, I found that there was nothing to research.

He succeeded to the throne at the age of seventeen and died at the age of eighteen.

He also understood why Sun Qiang asked him to keep a straight face. As an emperor, how could he smile and be so gentle when meeting everyone?

Bai Liang thinks there is nothing wrong with it!
"Welcome to our crew. Please ask your assistant to register at the front desk and arrange a room for you."

assistant?

Bai Liang was confused. He had neither an agent nor an assistant. Was this standard in the entertainment industry?
Everyone has it?

When Sun Qiang said this, his eyes were actually glancing at the old man standing not far away.

It was the crew member who took two packs of cigarettes from Bai Liang and brought him to the hotel lobby to wait.

Sun Qiang obviously didn't know this employee of his. When he came, he saw him accompanying Bai Liang, so he naturally thought of him as an assistant or driver.

Very reasonable.

At this point, Bai Liang’s image has been perfected by Sun Qiang.

A handsome man with great potential who was picked out by a well-known agent. He is very adaptable and has been assigned an assistant before he even starts acting. This is enough to show how much Yang Xing values ​​him.

Young man, your future is limitless!
There’s nothing wrong with choosing him to play Lu Bu!
This is at least one of the most screen-filled roles. By using the company's and crew's resources and his own connections, he won't lose out anyway.

The audition ended in a daze, and Bai Liang’s first acting audition in two lives ended just like that.

To show courtesy, he sent a text message to thank Yang Xing and told him that he had passed the audition.

At the same time, he did not forget to show off to Huang Jingyu and asked, "What about you?"

Huang Jingyu gave him a middle finger emoji and then there was no further movement.

At this time, Yang Xing, who was in Shanghai, looked at his mobile phone and smiled.

Zhang Jiazhen, a famous producer in the industry who was having dinner with her, asked curiously, "Is there any happy news?"

"Well, it's just that I met a very interesting young man before. He has a very good image and temperament. He introduced us to a crew."

"Who did you fancy? Have you signed it?"

"He's not a professional actor and he hasn't acted before, so let him hone his skills first. The crew is a big melting pot, and it's not easy for an actor who comes from a different background to make it."

"What if someone else signs him first?"

"It's not that easy to get ahead. His role couldn't be any smaller. The crew was originally going to find a special actor to play the role. It was just a side job. If he really has talent, it would eventually come to me. This kid is very smart."

As for Bai Liang's operation of tipping off Shang K, Yang Xing was confident that if the other party really wanted to make a name for himself in the entertainment industry, he would definitely not ignore her as his "mentor".

And this is just her first role. Next year, the company she is collaborating with Zhang Jiazhen will be officially established, and she will be the executive director.

Before this, whenever Bai Liang contacted Yang Xing, she would help him a little and introduce him to some minor roles.

The weight of subsequent roles will gradually increase, but not too heavy.

Yang Xing mainly wanted to leave an impression on Bai Liang: Even if there is any leak in my hand, it will be enough for you to eat.

It is definitely not a good idea to feed the fish too much. The result of baiting the fish too heavy is that you will only whet the fish's appetite and end up empty-handed.

Once this impression is formed, if Bai Liang really wants to work hard and sign with a company for development, he will definitely look for her.

While they have a close relationship, it also makes it easier for Yang Xing to "control" him.

It’s not that she has any weird habits, this is the normal relationship between an agent and an artist.

Many of those agents or behind-the-scenes teams who are unable to control their artists can only watch helplessly as their artists do stupid things that make people crack in anger.

In the entertainment industry where the average person is 18, this kind of thing is not uncommon.
