Huayu: Starting from managing the Mahua FunAge Theater Troupe

On December 15th, "Today's Happiness" entered the third review stage for language-based programs.

It was a bumpy road to success.

The language-based program planning team made several nitpicking requests for revisions, asking Happy Twist to tinker with it some more.

Let's try some more experimentation.

……

Shen Feiyang's recent work mainly consists of two things.

Check the rehearsal progress of each group in the troupe.

Wada Tomoyoshi repeatedly confirmed and revised some details of "Struggle".

Tian Youliang has directed the stage play version of "Struggle" and also participated in the scriptwriting work for the stage play version. He has a good grasp of the subject matter and content.

The storyline of the stage play "Struggle" focuses on Xiang Nan and Yang Xiaoyun.

The actress who played Yang Xiaoyun in the stage play was Yu Shasha.

Shen Feiyang had considered casting Yu Shasha as Yang Xiaoyun, but Yu Shasha is still too young and inexperienced to be the lead actress in a medium-length or long-running TV series.

……

Time flies, and it's now December 20th.

It was a little after 8 a.m.

The Yifu Theater of the Central Academy of Drama.

The first round of auditions for "Struggle" will be held here.

As a teacher at the Central Academy of Drama, Tian Youliang is used to borrowing this venue.

This is also where the Mahua Opera Troupe began its rise to prominence. Although it almost destroyed the troupe at first, there was a certain element of mystical belief involved.

Tian Youliang also intended to take advantage of the remaining good fortune of the Mahua Troupe here, hoping that his first TV series would be a big hit.

In addition to Xia Lin, Mi Lai, and Yang Xiaoyun, Fang Lingshan also participated in this round of auditions.

Shen Feiyang and Tian Youliang walked into the auditorium side by side.

The audition officially started at nine o'clock.

Many actresses had already arrived and were sitting in the front row for easy access to and from the stage.

The judges' panel was set up in the orchestra pit in front of the stage, with several long tables put together, and table cards with names such as "Shen Feiyang" and "Tian Youliang" printed on them.

Upon seeing Shen Feiyang and Tian Youliang walking towards the judges' panel, all the actresses turned their gazes toward Shen Feiyang.

It wasn't until Shen Feiyang sat down at the table with the corresponding nameplate that the group of actresses finally matched him with Shen Feiyang.

Some actresses couldn't help but whisper to their agents and other actresses they knew.

"Wow, he's young and handsome."

"He truly has the spirit of starting from scratch."

"This is the first time I've seen such a young decision-making team in a film crew."

Some bold managers who often joke with their artists couldn't help but make a few teasing remarks.

"Stop being so infatuated, or you'll get kicked out."

Such words.

The actresses, upon hearing this, were not annoyed; they simply covered their mouths and chuckled softly.

Shen Feiyang also heard the faint commotion behind him, but paid no attention to it.

He casually flipped through the compiled actor resumes in front of him and looked at who had been selected for the audition.

Tian Youliang chatted with the casting director and others around him.

Seeing that it was 8:55, Tian Youliang said to the casting director, "Let's begin."

The casting director nodded and went on stage to host.

The first role I auditioned for was Fang Lingshan.

Fang Lingshan is a very likable character in "Struggle".

She comes from a wealthy family, is quirky and clever, and seems like an innocent little girl, but she is actually the most insightful person in the show. She can see through other people's pretenses at a glance and then say the most hurtful things in the most relaxed way.

There were quite a few new actresses auditioning for the role at the same time.

Wang Luodan was among them.

Shen Feiyang's impression of Wang Luodan is still based on her role as "Bao Ri" in "The Continent".

At this time, Wang Luodan did not yet have that mature woman's temperament.

Yu Shasha also auditioned for the role of Fang Lingshan.

But her current demeanor is too rustic; she can't pull off the image of a rich girl.

The audition is over.

Tian Youliang only checked the boxes next to four names: Gao Lu, Tang Yan, Shu Chang, and Tong Yao.

Tang Yan and Tong Yao were both in the 02 undergraduate class of the Performance Department of the Central Academy of Drama.

Tong Yao is the actress who looks very much like Zhang Ziyi, and who was beaten up by law enforcement officers because of her ambiguous relationship with her teacher.

Gao Lu is the actress who looks very much like Gao Yuanyuan; her representative work is "Home, Sweet Home".

Surprisingly, Gao Yuanyuan, who was supposed to be filming "Shanghai Dreams" in Guiyang, was also on set today.

She came to audition for the roles of Mi Lai and Xia Lin.

The second role I auditioned for was Yang Xiaoyun.

Tian Youliang ticked the names of Li Xiaolu and Dong Xuan.

The third role I auditioned for was Mila.

Tian Youliang ticked the names of Wang Luodan, Zhang Yunyi, Gao Lu, and Dong Xuan.

The fourth role I auditioned for was Charlene.

Surprisingly, Gao Yuanyuan also attended the audition.

Tian Youliang ticked the names of Ma Yili, Li Xiaoran, Sun Li, and Gao Yuanyuan.

After all four roles were auditioned, it was already past noon.

The actresses have all left and gone back to wait for further notice.

In such a public setting, actresses who want to get close to Shen Feiyang have to be careful about their behavior.

……

Shen Feiyang and Tian Youliang didn't rush to discuss who should play the role; instead, they went to have dinner first.

The group arrived at the second canteen of the Central Academy of Drama.

Jingxiu Restaurant, opposite the Central Academy of Drama.

If the teachers and students of the Central Academy of Drama don't eat on campus, they will most likely come to this restaurant.

Tian Youliang had already arranged for someone to reserve a spot.

A large round table.

Everyone sat down around the table.

Shen Feiyang ordered a bottle of Coke and gulped down several mouthfuls.

Watching actresses audition was exhausting.

……

After lunch.

Shen Feiyang and Tian Youliang found a teahouse nearby to discuss their business.

"Mr. Shen, please take a look."

Tian Youliang handed Shen Feiyang his list of preferred candidates.

Shen Feiyang looked at the list in his hand.

Shen Feiyang was actually unsure about who should play these roles.

After careful consideration, Shen Feiyang finally spoke: "For the role of Fang Lingshan, I prefer the actress named Shu Chang."

Tian Youliang thought for a moment and nodded: "I'll have someone make a special effort to contact them."

Shen Feiyang nodded slightly and continued, "As for the three characters Xia Lin, Mi Lai, and Yang Xiaoyun..."

"Li Xiaolu is more suitable to play Yang Xiaoyun."

"Wang Luodan does have a strong sense of daring to love and hate, and a free and unrestrained yet persistent spirit in the role of Mi Lai. The problem is that she's not very pretty. Gao Lu and Dong Xuan are also quite good."

"Charlene..."

Shen Feiyang pondered for a moment: "Personally, I prefer Gao Yuanyuan to play the role."

"If filming starts in March, Gao Yuanyuan's filming schedule may need to be coordinated."

"As long as it's available."

"Who should Mi Lai use?"

Shen Feiyang was also struggling with the question: "Who do you think is suitable?"

"Wang Luodan, she is indeed quite different from other actresses, and her style is also different from Gao Yuanyuan's."

Shen Feiyang then asked, "Where is Yang Xiaoyun?"

"Li Xiaolu, I think she was born for the role of Yang Xiaoyun."

"Then let's do it this way," Shen Feiyang said decisively. "Finalize all the actors' contracts by the end of the month."

"it is good."
