Chapter 356 Picking Actors

Contrary to Jiang Changsheng's expectations, the headquarters of the Xingjiang Art and Dance Troupe is not a theater building, but an old architectural style just like the official compound.

On the whole, it is a bit like a combination of a school and a compound.

After walking into the headquarters, Antimu asked, "Mr. Jiang, do you want to take a break today, or go straight to the cast selection?"

For Jiang Changsheng's MV shooting, several actors need to be selected, and the Xingjiang Song and Dance Troupe has almost gathered the largest number of performing arts talents in Xingjiang.

That's why Lu Yunqing asked the song and dance troupe to receive Jiang Changsheng.

This is to facilitate the selection of actors.

Jiang Changsheng looked at Tong Axiang, who immediately stood up straight and said, "I'm fine.

If it doesn't work, I can sit on a chair and squint for a while later, and you don't have to worry about me. "

Jiang Changsheng nodded. He also liked to be straightforward, so he said, "Xiao Li, you guys go to the hotel to rest first. I will work with the team leader to choose actors first."

Xiao Li is the person in charge of the three-member MV filming team. They don't have the energy of Jiang Changsheng, and they are already exhausted after flying for more than 4 hours.

And the variety of equipment they carry is also a lot.

The three of Xiao Li readily accepted Jiang Changsheng's arrangement, turned around and went back to the hotel to rest.

Jiang Changsheng took Tong Axiang's little hand and followed An Timu to the largest practice room of the dance troupe.

A long table and some chairs have been set up inside.

An Timu said: "You guys sit down first, I have already notified you, the actors are still preparing, and they will be here in a while."

Jiang Changsheng sat in the middle of the table, and Tong Axiang sat beside him, seeing that Axiang was still a little sleepy, Jiang Changsheng said: "You can lean on my shoulder and sleep for a while."

Tong Axiang did not refuse, she was indeed exhausted on the plane just now.

Leaning on Jiang Changsheng's thick shoulders, smelling the faint scent of sandalwood on his body, Tong Axiang felt that her mind was particularly stable, and soon fell asleep.

Seeing that Tong Axiang fell asleep almost instantly, head Antimu sighed: "Mr. Jiang, it's not easy to be a star, Yaya used to be in our group, but she was famous for her hard work.

The daily training is the most serious and assiduous, and I am also very active in participating in various activities.

Back then, the dance training was so hard, and I never saw Yaya so tired that she could fall asleep right away.

The work intensity of being a star is really great! "

Jiang Changsheng: "..."

The culprit, Jiang Changsheng, explained: "It's not easy. Yaya just flew back from the country of America the day before yesterday, and flew here from Yanjing today. The schedule is very fast, and it is indeed very tiring."

Jiang Changsheng chatted casually with An Timu, and most of the time it was An Timu who was talking. He focused on introducing the development history and achievements of the Xingjiang Song and Dance Troupe.

The Xingjiang Song and Dance Troupe has the largest number of Uighurs. In addition to Uyghurs, it also includes performers from more than ten ethnic groups such as Han, Kazakh, Hui, Mongolia, Kirgiz, Uzbek, Xibe, Manchu, and Russia.

The song and dance troupe has created and performed special dances, songs, music, playing and singing programs of various nationalities, and several programs have won worldwide awards.

Jiang Changsheng really didn't know much about the Xingjiang Song and Dance Troupe before, so he didn't find it boring to listen to the head's introduction.

Seeing Jiang Changsheng listening carefully to his words, Antimu immediately felt that he was being respected, and his affection for Jiang Changsheng gradually increased.

After about a quarter of an hour, the first actor walked in, an acquaintance.

Little Nazha, the flower of the Uyghur people.

Behind Nazha was a long line.

After a while, about a hundred actors stood in front of Jiang Changsheng.

Jiang Changsheng finally understood why An Timu chose the location of actors in this largest dance training room.

This is to give more actors a chance to show themselves.

Although it was just an opportunity to appear in an MV, the person who shot this MV was Jiang Changsheng, and the MV and song were also key promotional items for the Yanjing Olympics.

Shooting this MV not only has the opportunity to become famous in China, but it is also a good opportunity to show your face abroad.

The actors in the dance troupe, everyone wants to fight for it.

In addition, Jiang Changsheng said that he wanted to choose actors, but he didn't say how many actors he wanted, whether they were male or female, or their age.

So An Timu arranged for most of the actors in the song and dance troupe to audition.

If it wasn't for worrying about Jiang Changsheng's dissatisfaction, An Timu would have called all the actors in the troupe over.

As the head of the troupe, An Timu is still competent, at least he managed to be level and treat every dancer in the troupe equally.

Therefore, Jiang Changsheng not only had no objection to Antimu's slightly abrupt arrangement, but also cooperated very well.

He smiled and said: "Captain Antimo, why don't you just wait a little longer and call all the remaining actors in the troupe over, and I'll screen them together."

Antimu was overjoyed when he heard the words, "Thank you, Teacher Jiang, Ai Mu, please go and inform, anyone who is willing to come to audition can come!"

A tall and thin actor agreed and walked out.

After everyone arrived, Jiang Changsheng gently moved Tong Axiang's head and let her sleep on the table.

This girl was really exhausted, she slept deeply, and besides Jiang Changsheng, she felt full of security, and she showed no signs of waking up.

Jiang Changsheng stood up and said, "Thank you to the Xingjiang Song and Dance Troupe for supporting me and my country's Olympic promotion work, and thank you all for taking the time to participate in this audition.

Let me explain first, the shooting of this MV mainly has two purposes, one is to promote the Yanjing Olympics, and the other is to show the development achievements of our great beauty and Xingjiang to the people of the whole country and even the world. "

In Xingjiang today, various developments are indeed in full swing. It will not be until 09, when something happens, that stability will be the main focus, and stability will even overwhelm development.

Slowly, the development speed of Xingjiang slowed down.

The MV that Jiang Changsheng wants to shoot is a very simple story about a little girl who, through her own efforts step by step, becomes the Olympic champion of the equestrian competition.

The plot is partly based on the movie Wrestling Dad of India and Du, and adapted in combination with the local folk customs of Xingjiang.

Jiang Changsheng had given careful consideration to choosing the equestrian event for shooting. Firstly, the Xingjiang area has always been a horse-producing area in Huaguo, with lush water and grass, and many natural horse farms.

Xingjiang has always been known as the hometown of Tianma. There are three famous horses: Yili horse, Yanqi horse and Balikun horse. Horse riding is one of the characteristics of Xingjiang.

Second, to shoot horse riding, you can shoot many scenes of galloping horses, riding a horse galloping among the beautiful scenic spots in Xingjiang, you can show the great scenery of Xingjiang.

And riding a horse is also more interesting in shooting, suitable for both men and women.

There are 4 main characters in Jiang Changsheng's MV. When the heroine was young, when the heroine grew up, the heroine's father, the heroine's brother, and the rest of the supporting characters are all fleeting and unimportant.

The outline of the story is that the heroine's father is obsessed and wants to prove that Xingjiang's horses and equestrian skills are the top in the world. When he was young, he had no chance or stage, so he pinned his hopes on his son.

But his training was too strict. Under the cruel training, his son was physically weak, fell off his horse accidentally, and became disabled.

When the whole family is not optimistic, the heroine inherits her brother's position, trains hard, and finally overcomes difficulties and becomes a champion.

Jiang Changsheng also wants to show Xingjiang's culture, landscape and economic development in the story, so he can only make a rough idea of ​​this story.

Jiang Changsheng is quite busy these days. He plans to shoot the MV first. If he has time or is interested in the future, he can improve this story and make it into a movie, making a Huaguo version of wrestling, Dad.

After Jiang Changsheng finished his speech, he asked the actors to form a group of 6 to show.

Guli Nazha and Parzati were the first group to show up. They had just been selected to participate in the Huaxia National Costume Show Gala. They were very confident and felt that they had a high probability of being selected.

Especially Guli Nazha, whose small head is always high, like a proud little peacock.

Jiang Changsheng watched the dance performed by the six people, and he was noncommittal, but asked, "Is there anyone who can ride a horse?"

No one spoke, and Jiang Changsheng was not disappointed either.

Urumqi is a big city. The children who live and grow up here are the children in the city. They are not herdsmen, and it is normal for them not to know how to ride a horse.

Jiang Changsheng said directly: "The next batch!"

Another 6 people stood up and began to show.

Jiang Changsheng's screening speed was very fast. He knew that the members of the song and dance troupe mainly danced and sang, and acting skills were not expected, so the selection of actors was mainly based on appearance and temperament.

Jiang Changsheng's eyes were extremely sharp, and with a quick glance, he could tell if there was a suitable actor.

When it was the fourth batch, Jiang Changsheng's eyes lit up, he pointed to a girl who was only about eleven or twelve years old and said, "What's your name?"

The little girl was a little confused and didn't speak. The head of Antimu introduced: "Her name is Hanikezi. She is 11 years old. She is not a full member of the regiment. She is just the child of two old employees of our regiment. There are some needs in the regiment. For the children's dance, she will make a cameo appearance."

Looking at the delicate and lovely girl in front of him, Jiang Changsheng thought, no wonder she looked familiar, it turned out to be the youngest girl in Xingjiang Simei.

Jiang Changsheng said: "Let her choose."

Hanikezi's age and appearance are very suitable for playing the role of the heroine when she was a child, a girl who seemed well-behaved but was actually very naughty.

The audition continued, and Jiang Changsheng found another actor named Hasimu. He was not very handsome, but he had a dull and stubborn feeling on his body.

The brother who is more suitable to play the heroine.

Actors were changed one by one, almost 2 hours passed, and Jiang Changsheng still couldn't find a candidate for the heroine he wanted.

But he is not in a hurry. If he can't find it, he can try his luck among the herdsmen.

When the penultimate group of actors appeared, Jiang Changsheng saw a strange yet familiar face.

I say unfamiliar because this face is very young now, and it is a bit different from the TV in the later generations.

I say familiar because this girl is Di Lieba, a popular female star of later generations.

At this time, Di Lieba's hair was slightly withered and yellow, her eyes were a little dazed, her skin was also slightly dark, and she had the feeling of a rustic wild girl.

Standing among the dancers of the song and dance troupe, Di Lieba's beauty is not outstanding, no wonder Gulinaza can choose the flower of the Uighurs, but Reba does not.

At this time, she really needs to grow and experience.

But Jiang Changsheng's eyes brightened. Di Lieba's current state is very consistent with his ideal MV heroine. Not only does she look more wild, but she also has a larger frame, which can give a sense of strength.

Unlike Guli Nazha, who is too beautiful and lacks a fierce wildness.

Jiang Changsheng said: "Di Lieba, you stay here."
