Chapter 173 A Little Start and the End of Casting
To be honest, Lin Bai really didn't expect Shi Dafu to cue him.

Even, his subconscious reaction was that Shi Dafu might want to set himself on fire.

After all, he is an unknown screenwriter, so this occasion should focus on talking less and listening more.

How can you give your own opinion as soon as you come up?
He forced himself to turn around in his mind two or three times, and out of his understanding and trust in Shi Dafu, he finally came to a conclusion.

The order of authority of the writer and director means that Lin Bai, who is the chief screenwriter and often guides the crew, needs authority.

Authority established from the outset is required.

This is not something that can be solved by talking less and listening more, and ambiguity and flickering.

Today at the casting scene, I dare not give opinions casually. Tomorrow on the set, some actors will not take Lin Bai seriously.

No matter what the factors are, since you have obtained an identity and a position, you need to pay something.

If you want to be completely wise and safe in the crew, you can't be a good screenwriter, at least not in this version.

This is also the reason why Shi Dafu didn't say hello in advance.

He is the one who reshaped the director by himself!

His screenwriting students either never do this industry after graduation, or at least stick to this rule when they enter the industry.

So what Shi Dafu wanted was for Lin Bai to figure it out, and he picked two of them who were all Lin Bai's acquaintances.

Fortunately, Lin Bai reacted quickly, and he had already thought about it before thinking about it, and then calmly gave his opinion: "Ke Xin."

"Mr. Kexin's performance is more in line with my image of the role of Princess Yunluo."

Seeing that Lin Bai was able to react almost in the blink of an eye, Shi Dafu nodded slightly in disapproval, and then followed up with his statement: "In this scene, I also agree with Teacher Kexin's performance more."

So Zhang Jiawu directly announced: "Mr. Xu, if you still have ideas about the role, you can make more preparations, and there will be a final selection process."

Xu Xiaomai nodded again and again: "Okay, thank you."

Kexin also nodded in thanks.

This set of auditions is over.

There was almost no pause, and then came a new group of auditions. Lin Bai had already built up his mind, so he would naturally watch the actors' performances more seriously.

Then judge against the works.

That's right.

The basis is so rigid.

It is impossible to perform worse than the original work, and it is more suitable for the original role.

Facing familiar actors like Xu Xiaomai and Ke Xin, he made a direct choice after thinking about it.

Not to mention the other barely-recognized actors.

Anyway, it is the main one, to be blunt.

As for how Shi Dafu and Zhang Jiawu choose, that is their business.

After all, there is a final selection.

He reserves his opinion first.

in time.

As for the final election, if it still contradicts, then further elaborate on the basis of your judgment.

Check out the details.

This matter is tantamount to answering questions with reference answers, and it does not require Lin Bai to know any acting skills.

Very simple.

.........

After the afternoon of casting, a suitable actor was preliminarily selected for each role.

Just like Shi Dafu chatted with Lu Wenjie on the plane.

Now there is no shortage of actors with acting skills in Chinese film and television, and there is even no shortage of non-top actors with rich skill pools.

However, there is a real lack of top screenwriters who can expand more categories.

There is no good script.

All are clouds.

The model of cultural and entertainment industry, as well as channels such as Chinese film and television, Chinese drama network, etc., can make good scripts be discovered almost instantly.

It's a pity that innovation is scarce in any world.

This is the case with Azure Star.

Earth is not.

It is said that the intervention of Internet capital has lost the soil for creation, but there are fewer and fewer good works worldwide every year.

Otherwise, Fast Excitement can stir up the rotten rice of the family hero for 20 years?
Are there few such examples?
There is no other way. Literary and artistic innovation is much more difficult than it is said.

"Thanks for your hard work."

"polite."

At the entrance of Golden Crown Entertainment, Lin Bai and Shi Dafu shook hands with Zhang Jiawu and others to say goodbye.

Shi Dafu signaled Lin Bai to accompany him for two steps.

"Do I understand what I'm doing?"

"can."

Shi Dafu looked at Lin Bai, saw that he didn't seem to be lying, and said bluntly: "Perhaps Mr. Wu or someone else told you about the casting of this casting in advance."

"Indeed, there are indeed many interests involved."

"But it has nothing to do with you or me. We are screenwriters. What we have to do is very simple. Let this play follow the script we wrote."

"At least the big aspects remain the same, and individual actors can have different interpretations on some small details."

"You have a strong artistic talent. Compared with songwriting, script writing is more difficult, so I am a little selfish."

"Either you don't enter the industry. If you enter the industry, I hope you can take over my burden and pass it on."

"The best thing is that Chinese film and television can be rejuvenated in your hands."

"I know that you have great ambitions. You want to be fully blossomed in the six major fields of lyrics, music, singing, editing, directing, and acting, and even top-notch."

"You have this talent, and I also believe that you have this ability, so you don't have to be restrained in many cases."

"It's not that Mr. Wu is wrong, it's that she has a different perspective, and she can't see the actual starting point of practitioners."

Shi Dafu was the same as before, when it was time to speak, he was straightforward.

He spoke very clearly.

Lin Bai nodded clearly: "Understood, I understand what I do and love what I do."

"The future will be discussed in the future."

Shi Dafu patted Lin Bai's shoulder in relief: "You go back and unilaterally make up lessons for Xiao Xu."

"The back door is open, so don't let people pick up gossip."

"There are still three or four days until the casting of the leading role. After all, not every actor is waiting for this drama."

Lin Bai nodded again.

He thought so too.

He actually didn't know what Xu Zewen's acting skills were like, and his impression was still on Xu Zewen's performance in the painting.

From his point of view, Xu Zewen's film and television performance level at that time should have just reached LV3 at most.

In a scene where the first-line actors only grab non-leading important roles, Xu Zewen's level is not good enough.

It can only open more back doors.

Let Xu Zewen specialize in the role of 'Duan Tianya' in a short period of time.

…………

After separating from Shi Dafu, Lin Bai walked up to Coster who was parked there.

As soon as she was seated, Xiaowei reported softly: "Mr. Wu has arranged two residences, one is Park Hyatt Mansion."

"One is at the front door, a villa in Tianjieyuan, which is convenient to enter and exit, and has a larger space."

"Others... Mr. Wu said they didn't clean up."

Lin Bai snorted: "Let's go to the villa, you and Lao Xu can both live in it, and save some hotel money for Song Le."

Hearing this, Xiao Wei glanced at Lin Bai quickly, feeling a little 'secretly happy'.

It doesn't mean anything else, but the place Tianjieyuan is rumored to be very mysterious.

With Xiaowei's normal working form, she will never be able to see inside, let alone live inside.

She was a little excited to be able to live in Lin Bai's light now.

If it weren't for Lin Bai...in a word, there wouldn't be any five-star hotels in the capital?
Then Xiaowei continued: "I just had some work calls and personal calls..."

"Personally, it's mainly banquet invitations, Teacher Xiaofeng called."

After listening, Lin Bai took out his mobile phone from his pocket, looked at it, and there were not many missed calls.

Qiaolinna and Xiaofeng fought separately.

It was obvious that Lin Bai, whose phone was muted, could not be reached, so he spoke to Xiaowei again.

Lin Bai called Xiao Feng directly.

After ringing the bell twice, it was connected. Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Give us a chance to clean up the dust for you at night."

"That's kind, I'll come here now." Lin Bai readily agreed.

"..."

When he arrived at the scene, Lin Bai realized that he had underestimated his current connections.

Needless to say, Xiaofeng, Qiaolinna, Mengwei, and Zhang Wenqing were all there.

There is also a circle of familiar actors.

Such as Xu Maimai and Ke Xin.

The big guy really came to clean up the dust for Lin Bai.

Xu Xiaomai also just teased a few words in private: "Young man, first come first, first come first, first come first, first come first, first come, first come, first come, first come, first come, first come, first come, first come, first come, first come first, young man, isn't it?"

"Just wait for me~"

Lin Bai laughed.

Xu Xiaomai said again: "I knew you would be a screenwriter across industries, but I didn't expect you to be so successful."

"The first work shocked the entire film and television industry. At least half of the first-line actors are interested in this play."

"Martial arts, a new martial arts work, who wouldn't want to play it."

Lin Bai spread his hands: "You may not believe it, I just played it casually."

"?"

"I mean, there will be more good scripts in the future, but martial arts dramas should not be done in a short time."

"Hey, you're ambitious enough! Do you really want to create a category? A top artist, right?"

"Who doesn't want to be talented and capable?"

"Haha... we need to open the back door for the next play."

"Next time definitely."

"..."

Kexin also chatted with Lin Bai in private.

He laughed and expressed his thanks.

Lin Bai also laughed and laughed.

In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that it was not Lin Bai who helped anyone in this matter.

It is a relationship that is not suitable.

"..."

After all, this banquet is for Lin Bai to clean up the dust, and the protagonist is of course Lin Bai.

So soon Lin Bai was surrounded and became the focus of the banquet.

Hey and haha, I exchanged cups with everyone.

After ten o'clock, the banquet ended.

…………

When Coster slowly drove into a somewhat familiar building, Lin Bai was moved in his heart: "Hey, it turned out to be here."

He had also heard about this 'mysterious' detached villa.

But there is no mystery inside.

There are some styles of different design and processing in small details.

They are all flowers and plants and houses.

However, the size of the villa under Wu Wen's name is really not small, because...it is a courtyard.

The four households in the courtyard belong to Wu Wen.

The others are nothing special.

The interior is pretty much the same, that's all.

bigger.

Low-key luxury has a little connotation.

Lin Bai didn't have time to rest either. After seeing Xu Zewen who was already here, he dragged him directly to a quiet room.

Looking at Xu Zewen, Lin Bai got straight to the point: "I have to give you a little treatment."

"How to say?" Xu Zewen was a little puzzled. Before, he generally respected the unspoken rules, but now he doesn't act all at once.

Lin Bai said frankly: "I don't know the details, I only know that the filming cost of this film has increased by [-] million;
It seems that there are some other interests.

In short, you have to fight for me, at least you can't be worse than other actors in the audition. "

Xu Zewen nodded again and again: "Oh."

Lin Bai said again: "I gave you a short biography of the character before, and now I will give you a scene, let me see it directly."

Hearing this, Xu Zewen didn't hesitate at all, and nodded solemnly.

He is not a fool.

It is very clear what it means to need Lin Bai to open the back door again.

Although it doesn't mean that you can't get the role, but it will definitely have an additional impact.

After all, Golden Crown Entertainment has nothing to do with Lin Bai.

Anyway, once things involve deep interests, human factors will complicate things that are originally simple...

Xu Zewen contemplated for a while, and soon began to perform: "I..."

Lin Bai watched silently, raising his eyebrows slightly.

Based on his basic qualities, it can be seen that Xu Zewen's acting skills are not bad.

Much higher than before.

Probably close to LV4 level.

but……

There is still a gap with the sample.

Not to mention that the role of 'Duan Tianya' is basically tied for the top male lead, and there must be big players coming to compete.

So, Lin Bai looked at the system panel.

Film and television performance: LV2 (10.5/50)+
It takes 30 attribute points to upgrade this status to one level, so Lin Bai still clicked on the upgrade after thinking about it.

Film and television performance: LV3 (0/100)+
[Attribute point: 782]

Such an increase is directly wiped out.

After a short pause, Lin Bai said, "Let me play for you."

"Huh?" Xu Zewen was very surprised.

Lin Bai didn't talk nonsense, and directly entered the state: "Brother, I have been unconvinced before..."

"Uh..." Xu Zewen got stuck, "Sorry, I'm sorry, I..."

Xu Zewen put away his surprise and quickly entered the state.

With Lin Bai's role, Xu Zewen's condition has improved a lot, but it's not enough.

So Lin Bai played the role of "Duan Tianya" directly, making Xu Zewen a one-shot actor.

He started to compare and carry directly.

It shocked Xu Zewen again...

.........

After 12 o'clock, the first targeted small-scale treatment ended, and Xu Zewen sighed again and again: "Compared to you, I am really a pig."

"Don't insult pigs." Lin Bai said angrily, "Pigs will learn how to act three times."

Xu Zewen just said: "Fortunately, I have self-knowledge, and I have done some group performances in advance, otherwise I would not even be at the current level."

"It's not a big problem, don't have psychological pressure." Lin Bai turned his head and said comfortingly, "There are still a few days, there is still time."

Yes, Xu Zewen still didn't meet Lin Bai's needs as a result of the small stove.

It can be regarded as a standard level.

But there is still a gap from the point where Lin Bai thinks he can overwhelm others without any doubts.

…………

After that, it was casting for several days.

In the end, it was the turn of Duan Tianya and Cheng Shifei to choose actors for the two roles.

Under Lin Bai's special training, Xu Zewen conquered everyone present with clips.

In another two or three days, the primary election is over.

Lu Wenjie aimed at the role of Shenhou and was quite successful.

Chu Ran, whom Lin Bai is familiar with, also participated in the casting and successfully won the role of Haitang.

What surprised Lin Bai was that his acquaintance Yuan Xitong actually only aimed at the role of Xue Ji, who had very few roles.

Of course the competition was successful.

After that, the final selection began, which was basically a cutscene, and it ended in just one day.

On December 12, the casting of "No. 6 in the World" was completed.

On that day, the start-up date was determined to be December 12, the first day of the twelfth lunar month.
