I'm not mentally ill, I'm a master of a thousand faces!

Chapter 92, He's Not Suitable

At this moment.

Meanwhile, Lee Kin-yee also received an audition notice at home. He was drinking soy milk at home when he received the audition notice, which was quite formal and even a paper document.

Cao Zhengchun, the greatest man in the world.

He mainly acts in CCTV productions, and he has played supporting roles in many CCTV productions, including creating a classic eunuch role.

He performs more in stage plays.

As a stage actor active in the entertainment industry, receiving a salary from the National Centre for the Performing Arts, his fame in the industry is not that high. He is an actor whose roles are more famous than the actor himself, which is normal in the CCTV circle.

This time it was purely because CCTV was looking for a suitable role, and he thought the eunuch role was suitable, so he stepped in to take the blame.

The fact that he still needed to audition surprised him somewhat.

However, there wasn't much hesitation about it.

It's normal to have candidates for auditions and roles.

But when he learned that his opponent this time was a young man in his twenties...

Li Jianyi became slightly curious.

"It's really strange that I'm competing for a role with a young man in his twenties this time. Am I past my prime?"

It's not that I'm angry or anything.

At most, I just felt quite curious.

After all, he's been playing eunuch roles for many years, if not extremely proficient. With such well-known roles, he's bound to be competitive.

after all.

When he was young, Li Jianyi had witnessed a real eunuch. This amazing life experience gave him the confidence to portray the role of a eunuch well at this moment.

"Could it be that these Hong Kong people are trying to smear us?" Ni Chenghong, a colleague who also works at the National Theatre of China, was indeed a little annoyed and indignant.

"Haha, not at all. I've met Mr. Wang; he's a very patriotic person, and at the very least, a very shrewd businessman." Li Jianyi paused and said, "Besides, being number one in the world isn't something they can decide."

The judging panel, directing team, and screenwriting team all have members from the CCTV circle.

"I don't feel like I'm being squeezed out, it's just that I feel a little unfair to compete with a young actor for a role."

A young male actor of the new generation.

However, the others quickly dismissed the idea of ​​being squeezed out.

This time, not only Li Jianyi was involved, but also two other people from the CCTV circle. It seems that this matter is to be handled officially and fairly, and the right person should be selected.

It seems like that young new generation was just inserted as a substitute runner-up.

Even so.

Lee Kin-yee is quite confident.

Or perhaps they are quite confident in their acting skills.

If it's a fair and square audition.

He doesn't think he'll lose to anyone.

He observed the eunuchs of the late Qing Dynasty when he was 5 years old.

He was confident he could handle his father-in-law's demeanor.

They have it under control better than anyone else.

Li Yun also received a formal audition notice; the role was for Cao Zhengchun.

Cao Zhengchun, Duan Zhengchun.

You can't draw two Zhengchuns in one stroke.

One person breaking out from exhaustion is nothing.

One of them had its... cut off.

The two characters are quite different.

At this moment, Jiang Chenggang said to Li Yun, "Your opponent this time is Li Jianren, a stage actor and a veteran actor from CCTV."

In fact, Jiang Chenggang felt that it was a bit risky.

It looks like they're just going through the motions.

After all, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't seem like someone who can compete with these veteran drama actors from CCTV.

He also played many eunuch roles.

Li Yun, after all, had no experience in portraying similar roles.

In every aspect, he is not as good as Li Jianren.

But so be it if I'm just a runner-up.

At least the world's number one team is willing to give this runner-up a chance.

Jiang Chenggang no longer asks for anything.

If you don't pass the audition for "The Best Cameraman in the World," you can try other film crews.

It's not a big problem.

"By the way, let me introduce you to our new member, Baoqiang."

Hello?

Wang Baoqiang looked at Li Yun timidly.

Actually, we had already met before.

However, I didn't formally introduce myself back then.

In fact, how could Li Yun not know Wang Baoqiang?

Li Yun even felt a bit emotional, because Wang Baoqiang used to be her idol when she was a struggling actor in Hengdian. After all, there aren't many actors who can make it out of Hengdian, and Wang Baoqiang was one of them.

It's certainly a bit poignant.

I'm quite moved.

"Hello, from now on we'll be colleagues at the same company."

"OK."

Wang Baoqiang then said in a low voice, "Hey Brother Li, I know some really powerful shamans and Taoist priests back in my hometown. Want me to have them take a look at you?"

Ok.

It seems that this student, Baoqiang, may have some misunderstandings about himself.

"I'm in good spirits and not possessed by any ghosts, so don't worry."

"Hey, don't you two see I'm doing serious work? Stop bothering me, okay?"

"Huh?" Wang Baoqiang was a little confused at this moment.

There's no second or third person here.

Sure enough, it was their company's top star.

He's acting a little strange!

At this moment.

The audition time has arrived.

Li Yun also tidied herself up at the hotel where she was going to the audition.

In terms of image.

There isn't much to fuss about.

Perhaps she could paint her face whiter and make it look more feminine? After all, her natural good looks and handsome appearance are undeniable.

It seems there's nothing else to do.

This time, the biggest opponent is none other than Li Jianren.

That veteran stage actor from CCTV.

Gao Yuanyuan went with us. She didn't have to audition, but she still had to register, just going through the motions.

When he learned that Li Yun wanted to take Cao Zhengchun's position, he subconsciously felt that it was not quite right.

"You're clearly more suited to playing a young swordsman."

From Gao Yuanyuan's perspective, he would actually be more suitable to play Duan Tianya.

A character like that dashing swordsman Duan Tianya.

That has absolutely nothing to do with Cao Zhengchun's image.

However, Duan Tianya and Li Yun's status is indeed not high enough.

But it can't be Cao Zhengchun either.

"A young swordsman?" Li Yun stroked his chin. "Someone told me before that he would be suitable to play a reclusive swordsman."

"I don't think that's appropriate." Gao Yuanyuan couldn't think of any image other than that of the young hero Li Yun: "I can't imagine it."

Li Yun thought.

She probably couldn't imagine herself as anything other than Song Qingshu.

When I arrived at the audition venue.

Auditions for other roles also take place here.

It wasn't just Cao Zhengchun who auditioned here; other actors like Wan Sanqian, other secret agents, and other supporting roles also auditioned.

Here, Li Yun also met several other characters, including the three main characters.

Huo Jianhua.

Li Yapeng.

Guo Jinan.

These three are all top figures in their respective circles.

A true leading actor.

They're all in the male lead's position.

The three secret agents they played here had no difference in screen time, at most just different roles.

Duan Tianya is responsible for matters of the heart, including love and chivalry.

Guihai Yidao is responsible for someone with deep-seated grievances and bitterness.

Cheng Shifei is responsible for the humor.

You can tell from the script that Wang Jing is very ambitious; it's just a matter of whether that ambition will backfire in the end.

There are actually many speculations within the industry.

It seems they think Wang Jing might really mess things up this time.

After all, the original martial arts project also incorporates so many other elements.

This project is quite ambitious.

I just don't know if I can handle it.

Li Yun arrived here like a nobody.

It really doesn't attract much attention.

Gao Yuanyuan just went to the other side. Before leaving, she said she would have a meal with him after the audition.

Li Yun simply sat quietly in the hotel lobby.

They also saw Lee Kin-in, who came to audition.

He also chose to wear white makeup, applying a lot of powder to his face, which further emphasized the effeminate appearance of a eunuch.

The way they walk.

That was a real father-in-law.

The little orchid finger that's sticking up.

Two words: Absolutely amazing.

Even Li Yun's expression when looking at Li Jianren.

It must also be admitted that...

He's a professional when it comes to playing eunuchs.

"What is professionalism? This is professionalism."

At this moment, Deng Yancheng, who was watching the lobby from not far away, clicked his tongue in amazement.

Judging from his demeanor, the way he walked, the way his small feet swayed, and the slight air of non-masculinity in his eyes, Li Jianren...

It embodies the ultimate in femininity.

The audition hasn't even started yet.

Li Jianren's image is already slightly better.

"It seems we've chosen our eunuch Cao." The person next to him is assistant director Xu Xiaodong, who is mainly in charge of action sequences.

The man next to him is none other than the villain Liu Songren.

She is also a veteran actor in Hong Kong.

He didn't need to come in the first place.

However, upon hearing that Cao Zhengchun, who was to act opposite him, was holding open auditions, he came along as well.

He also cares a lot about the actors he acts opposite.

The older they get, the more they cherish their reputation, especially when a young person appeared in Cao Zhengchun's audition this time, they have to be even more careful.

For an actor like him, if his co-stars lack acting skills, his performance will be greatly diminished.

He doesn't want that to happen.

When I saw Lee Kin-yan.

Liu Song Renren remarked with some emotion, "Given his demeanor, if the final outcome hadn't been his, it would have been quite unexpected."

Lee Kin-yan had already grasped the key to the first step in shaping his image and temperament.

Their temperaments and images are such a perfect match.

Needless to say, his acting skills are beyond question. He receives a government salary and is a civil servant with the same benefits and salary. His main job is as a stage actor, which requires even higher levels of improvisation and acting skills. That's the kind of ability he has.

A pentagonal warrior who is flawless.

Those who auditioned for Cao Zhengchun were really just there to make up the numbers.

Deng Yancheng also noticed Li Yun at this moment.

Actually, there was also some admiration.

He was much more handsome than he had imagined, even more so than he had imagined. His overall demeanor was sunny and cheerful. If he were dressed in white ancient costume, he would definitely be a handsome swordsman, not a high-ranking eunuch in the dark dungeon of the Eastern Depot.

His acting skills aren't just about being handsome.

Among the three main characters, Guo Jinan's appearance may not be considered up to par, but he occupies a significant portion of the script, and even appears to have more screen time.
