The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 27 Casting
Linxi City Experimental Middle School.

Chen Jingxing's mother, Mrs. Yang, is a Chinese teacher and teaches the second grade of junior high school.

Linxi Experimental Middle School has a lot of yin and yang in terms of the composition of teachers, especially the office of the grade where Teacher Yang is located. There are three teacher offices on the whole floor of the second grade class, one for Chinese and English, and one for mathematics, physics and chemistry. Office, one Office for other subjects
There are seven teachers in the Chinese and English office, only two old men, and the rest are lesbians.

Now it's the 10-minute long class break. The teachers are all resting in the office and drinking tea. The lessons have been taught a hundred and eighty times. The experimental middle school and the junior high school are not divided into ordinary parallel classes for the Orsay Experiment, except for the head teacher who gives snacks to his own class , The same course is taught several times a day, so there is basically no teacher preparing lessons during the break time, and they are frantically replenishing the saliva consumed in the previous class. The water dispenser in the office usually consumes two barrels a day, which can be described as a big water consumer.

The teachers held thermos cups and chatted from which student didn't listen carefully in class to the recent personnel changes of the school leaders.

Then the topic turned to their children. The youngest teachers in this office are all over 35 years old, and the children often have a lot of common topics.

If there is anyone in this office who is the quietest, it must be Teacher Yang. It's not that he doesn't like gossip, it's just that the last class consumes too much saliva, his mouth is a little tired, and his hands are tired. No matter which subject the teacher takes the most saliva , Chinese does my part.

"Well, it's said that our teacher's children are generally not bad at studying, but it's one thing to study well in school, but outside of society, this study may not really determine anything."

"Let's say that Principal Yuan's daughter failed the postgraduate entrance examination, and said that she has to review for another year to continue the exam."

"She didn't study well? Why didn't she pass the exam?"

"The school and major you choose are too popular, and it's even more difficult if you're cross-professional. People who choose lesser schools and majors don't go."

"It's really hard for children nowadays. There's no end to learning and going to school."

"The main reason is that Principal Yuan's daughter chose the wrong major at the beginning. She was dumbfounded as soon as she graduated from the undergraduate course. Not to mention the narrow scope of job hunting, the salary is still low. If you say that if you are directly employed, the monthly salary is only [-]. You said that she got such high marks in the exam. A good school is still in a first-tier big city, can this be reconciled? That’s why I made up my mind to take the postgraduate entrance examination across majors.”

"Professional is really important. Sister Kang, your son is promising and has learned a computer. Li Yang is in the capital, and his monthly salary is tens of thousands, right?"

Teacher Kang showed a reserved smile on his face: "It's not that exaggerated. I just joined the company not long ago, and my rank is still relatively low. The monthly salary is only [-], but I can get four more months' salary a year, plus a year's bonus. It’s only about [-] yuan. It’s not easy to take root in BJ with this income. Let me tell you, it’s better to let him come back and find a job in the nearest provincial capital. In the future, when we get married and have children, it will be convenient for us to take care of the children, right? ? The capital is still a little far away, and I can’t go home once a year, but your daughter is filial, married a good husband, and started a company!”

"It's not as good as you said. Entrepreneurs are not easy to mess with these days."

"Eh? Teacher Yang, I read the news on my mobile phone, saying that your family, Chen Jingxing, is going to make a new movie. It is said to be a police suspense movie with an investment of 5000 million yuan, and a popular star is invited to play the leading role. Look at the title. Your son has become a genius director!"

The office fell silent.

The smile on Teacher Kang's face could no longer be maintained, he turned around, opened his notebook and began to write and write.

"Hey, when the kid was in high school, he was arguing every day about making movies in the future. When he was a director, we could still be restrained when he was in school. Once he went to the capital for the exam, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so we can't control it anymore. Old Chen and I I also figured it out, young people have their dreams, and our older generation can't let their children work and live according to our ideas every day, can they? If they have dreams, let them let their children go."

"Hey, let me tell you, our school is still the most up-to-date child of Mr. Yang. I read the news before, and it said that the first movie made by Xiaojing was sold for millions of copyrights. You said that It’s not that he was born as a director, this artistic cell seems to be really innate.”

……

"This is a superficial smile."

"...It's a meaty smile without a smile on its face."

"Well... imagine again, you are the mastermind behind the murder, the mastermind of the murder. No one could have imagined that you were the murderer beforehand. Three points are sinister, three points are scary and four points are evil, understand?"

"Cough cough..."

Xu Wenshen coughed helplessly at the side: "Boss, what are you doing? What kind of audition is it just to laugh, at least let them say a few lines?"

Chen Jingxing waved his hand: "The lines are not important, this character doesn't even have a few lines, the point is to laugh?"

The conference room at DreamWorks Studios has been converted into a recording booth, with two cameras filming the ongoing audition left and right.

Casting for one of the characters in Fatal Identity.

Huanshiwang.com has decided on the actor for the movie. Although it is no longer popular, it is not too old to be an idol actor in his thirties, Luo Chen.

As the only well-known actor and star in the film, it will become a focus of the future announcement of the entire film.

The rest of the supporting roles, such as Chen Jingxing, a policeman, a psychiatrist and other personalities, have also been basically finalized.

They are all drama actors in the May Day Theater.

During the filming of "Comet", Chen Jingxing had a good time cooperating with the seven drama actors invited at that time. Of course, the actors who used it smoothly continued to cooperate.

And because "Comet" sparked heated discussions after it aired on the Internet, not only did it attract many young netizens to watch, Douban and other film and television drama rating sites also gave very high ratings, with no score lower than 8 points. They all benefited a lot from it, facing Chen Jingxing's invitation to play, except for two who couldn't spare the time, everyone else readily accepted it.

I even introduced a few colleagues, and finally got enough roles in "Fatal Identity".

Of course, the main reason for the surprisingly smooth invitation to play this time is that "Fatal Identity" is a screen movie. Faced with an invitation to a movie that is definitely going to be released in theaters, it is very difficult for a drama actor who has not yet made his debut to have the confidence to refuse.

What's more, the script of "Fatal Identity" is too much for the appetite of these drama actors. The suspenseful story of the Blizzard Mountain Villa model fits well with the drama. Even from an artistic point of view, it is difficult for people to refuse.

Combining several favorable factors, Chen Jingxing spent the least amount of money to assemble the cast of this film. Except for Luo Chen, the leading actor, the total remuneration of the other roles is only 200 million, and the professional ability is also guaranteed. Pretty good deal.

Of course, there is still one character that has not been finalized, and that is the biggest boss in the whole movie, the most evil personality.

In the original version, this evil personality is a child, and Chen Jingxing does not intend to change the setting of this character. The role setting of the child adds a lot of color to the final reversal.

But the children in the original version are a little fat and strong, belonging to the fat tiger type.

But what Chen Jingxing wanted was a Nobita type child.

Look better, maybe even cuter.

This will make the final reversal of the movie even more shocking. Of course, if the setting of a cute and well-behaved child is the murderer behind the scenes, there are some bugs if you have to pursue the rationality, but the original fat tiger type child can’t even kill several people. It is reasonable to say that, since they are all personality, the strength and ability of personality may not be linked to appearance.

And this small change was inspired by a movie in Chen Jingxing's previous life, "Detective Chinatown".

Sister Zhang Zifeng's evil smile at the end has become a classic scene in the film, and it also made the audience talk about it.

The appearance of the evil personality at the end of "Fatal Identity" also has the same effect. A cute and cute child reveals his evil nature at the last moment. Maybe his weird smile will become a classic scene of this movie?

After learning about Chen Jingxing's thoughts, Zhang Jingyan from Huanshi.com proposed to hold a small audition for this role.

It just happens to add a warm-up topic for the movie.

After the casting news spread, many parents brought their children to audition.

Except for a few child stars who have acted in TV dramas or even movies since childhood, most of them are child models who have filmed TV commercials or print media advertisements. Especially with the rapid development of online shopping platforms, there are more and more child models. These child models Naturally, the parents will not let go of the opportunity to participate in a screen movie.

However, Chen Jingxing's audition made the parents a little difficult to understand, so they were asked to laugh, and the laughter had to be weird, terrifying, evil, and also have a contrast.

It's hard to blame these children who came to try out the show. The half-smiling and half-crying faces made the whole meeting room weird and scary.
