Chapter 243 Auditions
Throughout May Day, Cheng Yu'an was very busy.

After the news of the casting of "Inception" in Asia was released, not only actors from China, but also actors from Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand have come.

As for the crew of "Before Dawn", because of Chen Daoming's joining, the cast of the entire crew needs to be re-upgraded, and Cheng Yu'an also needs to go there to check.

But Chen Daoming is not interested in the role of Liu Xinjie, but more interested in Tan Zhongshu.

"I'm not old enough to play Liu Xinjie, but Director Tan looks good to me." Daoming Chen said.

Although the role of Liu Xinjie is very good, he had to give up because of age restrictions.

Does Daoming Chen need an audition?

joke!

Daoming Chen!audition?Thanks for what you said.

Cheng Yu'an chatted with him for a while, but didn't talk about acting, he wasn't worried at all that Chen Daoming wouldn't be able to play Tan Zhongshu.

Chen Daoming also asked him about the production of "The Martian", in which he played the role of Gao Jianqiang, the person in charge of the Mars project, which is considered a supporting role.

"The special effects have all been done, and we are finishing the film in China. It will be completed by July at the latest, and it will be released in November."

"Why did you choose such an embarrassing schedule in November?"

"I can't help it. In October, "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" and "The Wind" will appear, and then "The Martian" will be put in. It's not worth it. I have already applied to the General Administration. As long as the box office of "The Martian" breaks 10 million, it will be postponed for one month, and if it exceeds 3 million, it will be postponed for another month."

"So confident?"

"Let's take a gamble."

Chen Daoming admired Cheng Yu'an's humble and confident temperament very much.

After Tan Zhongshu was settled, Chen Daoming left.

Cheng Yu'an, the character behind, gave a few instructions. In short, it was just one sentence. This drama is the king of long-distance dramas, and the cast is not afraid of pulling it to the top.

"Okay, it's fine with your words." Guo Fei smiled.

"Before Dawn" is the first drama she made after taking over the remote film and television. If it falls into her hands, it will be difficult for her to convince the public in the company.

Afterwards, Cheng Yu'an went to the casting team of "Inception". People from Warner and a major film company had already started working.

When Cheng Yu'an came over, he happened to be interviewing Liu Yifei. There was no one else in the audition room. Everyone knew that she was the proprietress. Bob even joked: "Crystal, there is no need for you to come. This role was given to you last year."

Everyone knows that the so-called casting in the Asian region is just a cutscene, and there is no need to choose the heroine at all. They mainly choose the role of Lin Mu (formerly Saito).

Cheng Yu'an was very serious, and tapped the pen in his hand: "The process that should go is still to go. Liu Yifei, please introduce yourself."

The young lady stood at the front solemnly, and introduced in English: "Hi everyone, my name is Liu Yifei, I am 22 years old, graduated from the Beijing Film Academy, I started acting at the age of 15, and I have worked with Jackie Chan and Jet Li in "The King of Kung Fu." "."

Warner's people are still very unfamiliar with her. Hearing that she has worked with Jackie Chan, it was only then that she remembered that she was last year's Golden Swallow.

The U.S. box office of "The King of Kung Fu" is really not enough, ending with 5200 million US dollars.

Working with Double J to achieve such a result, under Hollywood rules, Liu Yifei basically bid farewell to A-level productions.

But she is the boss's woman, and "Inception" needs the Chinese market. According to Cheng Yu'an's description in advance, Liu Yifei is extremely popular in China. Her participation in "Inception" will bring more than 8000 views to the Chinese market. million-dollar box office.

Cheng Yu'an didn't have the nerve to brag too much.

Moreover, by adding Chinese actors, you can gain the favor of China Film Group, and Cheng Yu'an can also use this to win more preferential policies.

That's what Warner needs.

The domestic market is getting bigger and bigger, and major Hollywood companies want to come in and take a bite.

Back at the audition scene, because there was still a video, Liu Yifei showed her frontal, left and right profile images to the camera.

Then Talent showed a piece of martial arts, and then tried his lines.

A very regular set of audition process went down.

Cheng Yu'an looked at it, the young lady has undergone her own training, not to mention how good her acting is, at least her lines skills have improved a lot, which can already be described as very good.

The on-site performance was even and steady, and the casting team was very satisfied after watching it. Cheng Yu'an said: "Okay, let's go here. We will inform you as soon as we have news later. Thank you for coming to the audition."

"Thank you, teachers." Liu Yifei bowed and thanked, and then went out.

In the actor's lounge, there were more than a dozen people, big and small, who came to audition today, all crowded in one room.

No one has the guts to mention that they want a VIP lounge.

Haven't you seen Zhang Ziyi sitting there obediently waiting to be called?

"Do you think Liu Yifei can succeed in the audition? I heard that he has a good relationship with Director Cheng." Liu Yifei has been in for a while.

"It's useless," the speaker swore, as if he knew something, "Liu Yifei was banned by Huayi, there is no need for Director Cheng to offend Huayi for Liu Yifei."

"If people want to hug a beauty back home."

"If you were the director, would you offend Hua Yi for a woman?"

"Hey." Obviously not.

The door creaked open, and Liu Yifei ran in a few steps, took her good friend Shu Chang's hand, and said nervously: "There are foreigners sitting around in the room. I have never seen Director Cheng like this. Take it easy."

"Okay, okay." Shu Chang took Liu Yifei's hand and comforted, "How are you doing?"

"It's not bad, I think the attitude of those foreigners is pretty good."

"Teacher Zhang Ziyi," someone shouted at the door, "it's your turn."

Zhang Ziyi got up and smiled at the staff: "Okay, come here."

Because they met at Cheng Yu'an's house, Liu and Zhang knew each other, and Liu Yifei also called Zhang Ziyi: "Sister Ziyi, come on."

Zhang Ziyi smiled at Liu Yifei and went out to audition.

After all, Zhang Ziyi is still a little famous in Hollywood, and some people in the casting team know her.

It made her feel like she had a good chance of winning.

The same set of very regular audition process went down, and the members of the casting team, including Cheng Yu'an, were very satisfied with Zhang Ziyi's performance.

It's the best actor they've auditioned so far.

"Although Zhang is only 30 years old, her face is too sharp. Although Adrian has a strong heart, Zhang's face will not convince the audience that she is just Cobb's assistant."

Bob added at the end: "Her ambition is written all over her face."

After choosing someone for a day, Cheng Yu'an returned home exhausted.

The girlfriend happened to be there too.

"Didn't you say you went out to play with Shu Chang, why did you come back?"

"Shu Chang was temporarily taken away by her manager for an audition, so I can only come back. How was the audition today?"

"It's okay." Cheng Yu'an said, "Sometimes I feel sorry for them."

"How to say?"

""Inception" cast you from the very beginning, now it's a bit inappropriate to hold a casting meeting with such fanfare and walk them around?"

"Didn't you say that this is just marketing? Besides, I have come to audition for the first time, and my performance is not bad. When the time comes to choose me, others will have nothing to say."

"That's what you said." Cheng Yu'an was still a little fuzzy in his heart, so he simply didn't say this, "What's for dinner tonight?"

"I don't want to cook, I want to eat what you cook."

"Okay. Just two days ago, the racecourse sent a few catties of donkey meat, and I will eat this at night."
