The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 159 Audition for "Da Shang Palace"

"Signal" has been submitted for review. In order to prevent his company's drama from competing, Li Shengyao plans to put this drama on next month.

He talked about it with Jiang Chunming, who was very supportive and said that Gusu Satellite TV would definitely buy it.

"Stairway to Heaven" has excellent ratings and is steadily rising.

Gusu Satellite TV has a high-rated TV series in three months, and there will be another TV series in April, which makes it easier to cultivate audience viewing habits.

As for Li Shengyao, he basically had nothing to do with the "Signal" drama, and he quickly devoted himself to his new work.

And returned to Yanjing from Shanghai.

The first thing he did was to choose the heroine of "Da Shang Palace".

The selection of the Korean version of "Dae Jang Geum" is really excellent. It can be said that they selected the woman with the best face in the entire peninsula.

There are many beauties on the peninsula at this time, the older Kim Hee Sun, Cai Yan, Choi Ji Woo, and Song Yoon Ah, the younger Son Ye Jin, and Jun Ji Hyun.

These women are all very beautiful, each with its own characteristics.

But most of the modern atmosphere is relatively heavy,

There is a lack of a classical East Asian beauty temperament.

And the Li Yingai they chose is at the pinnacle of appearance, and has a very ancient charm, with a kind of gentle, tough, and majestic beauty.

It is definitely not without reason that Li Yingai is called Xiaolin Qingxia, oxygen beauty by the peninsula people.

At this time, she had the "Guotai Min'an face" that was very popular on Douying.

Later, Yu Ma plagiarized "Dae Jang Geum" and filmed the mainland version of "Shang Shi", and the heroine she chose was Wu Jinyan.

This casting is undoubtedly very bad.

Wu Jin said that the melon-shaped face has normal bones, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and the face can't hold the flesh. To put it bluntly, this kind of face is a bit mean.

This gives the audience a bad first impression. Seeing her, there will be a feeling that this person will use all means to eliminate all stumbling blocks. This drama will be full of struggles and schemes.

However, whether it's "Shangshi" or "Dae Jang Geum", the heroines are all kind and gentle.

She will be involved in some struggles, but it is definitely not intentional. Her climbing up is not greedy for power, not for glory and wealth.

Such a heroine should be a person who is not aggressive, has stretched facial features, and at the same time has a plump and gentle face.

Lee Young Ae was selected by "Dae Jang Geum", it is really a good fortune for Korean dramas, this drama later sold more than [-] Guo Jia all over the world, it can be called a miracle in the Korean circle.

Like Bae Yong Joon, Lee Young Ae went on to act in movies, and then shot commercials all over the world. After earning enough money, she gradually retired.

If Li Yingai was from Huaxia, Li Shengyao would come to her immediately to act.

She looked really good back then.

Zhang Bozhi was also called Xiao Lin Qingxia by the Hong Kong Island media, but it was more of a hype. The two temperaments are too different.

When Lin Qingxia was young, she was a real and perfect oriental beauty.

Zhang Bozhi has a sense of mixed blood when he wears ancient costumes.

Li Yingai was born in [-], and was already in her thirties when she acted in "Dae Jang Geum".

Li Shengyao was the first to think of the post-[-]s generation in China.

Jiang Qinqin is very old-fashioned, and the ancient costumes are really beautiful, but she is too beautiful. If such a beauty is put in the palace, if the emperor doesn't do anything, the prince will definitely do it.

Li Xiaolan's ancient costume is acceptable, but her face is a bit bitter, which is not suitable for a tough and gentle heroine.

Li Bingbing, this is not a great beauty, her face is too sharp, so she is not suitable either.

Gao Yuanyuan is too beautiful, Zeng Li is too beautiful.

Ning Jing is too fierce, and Liu Tao is too earthy.

He took the photos of these female stars and watched their videos on the computer, but found that none of them were suitable.

He Qing has ancient charm and is gentle, but her temperament is too weak, and she is also old.

The heroine of "Dae Jang Geum" has a tough personality, a person who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside.

A few days ago, Li Shengyao's table was filled with photos of mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan actresses, but none of them were suitable.

He thought about it, and suddenly found that CCTV host Zhou Tao was very suitable.

But this is not a professional actor, so it can only be regarded as the last candidate.

Li Shengyao intends to broaden the range of actresses, and he looks for younger, lesser-known actresses.

He quickly found three more suitable people.

These three people are Tong Lei, Hao Lei, and Shen Aojun.

Tong Lei is the one who was cast in "The Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties". She looks good in ancient costumes, but her disadvantage is that she looks a bit bitter.

Hao Lei is the elder sister Qin in "Love in a Courtyard", she was really good-looking when she was young, and her appearance in "Young Emperor" fits the feeling that Li Shengyao wanted.

Not to mention Shen Aojun, this girl has a very high face value, and she is very beautiful in ancient costumes.

These three women are the ones who Lee Shengyao thinks have fuller faces and are elegant and gentle in ancient costumes.

Li Shengyao then asked people to call the agency of the three girls and asked them to come and audition.

The so-called audition is not for them to act, but for them to change into a few sets of ancient costumes to see if they fit the temperament of "Dae Jang Geum".

As for whether the three of them have time in the future, will they come to audition.

Li Shengyao didn't care, if he didn't have one, he would look for it again.

This day was the audition day. At nine o'clock in the morning, Li Shengyao had just arrived at the company when his assistant hurried over and said that all three girls had come.

Li Shengyao nodded, and then came to the conference room, where he met Tong Lei, Hao Lei, Shen Aojun, and their manager.

"Hello, Director Li."

The three women and the managers greeted each other with friendly and respectful smiles on their faces.

They seemed to have rehearsed a long time ago, and their voices were neat.

Li Shengyao nodded, he realized that he was not an ordinary person now.

But he's not one to show off.

Afterwards, people served tea and coffee, and then stated the purpose of this time.

"I have a big costume drama coming up, and I need a heroine. I pick and choose, and I think the three of you are more suitable, but there is only one heroine, and I need to find the one who feels the most."

"This time, invite the three of you to come here. I want you to change into a few sets of clothes from the Ming Dynasty, so that I can find out how I feel. Is it okay?"

The three girls immediately agreed.

As far as modern clothes are concerned, Li Shengyao thinks Hao Lei is the prettiest, this woman has a fairer complexion.

Tong Lei looks the most gentle, her smile is really kind.

Although Shen Aojun was smiling, she felt a little distant.

Li Shengyao then arranged for someone to take the three girls to try on makeup.

Their manager followed, leaving only Li Shengyao and his assistant in the conference room.

"Boss, the company has received 230 letters, all of which are photos of girls who recommend themselves to be the heroine of "The Great Shang Palace."

Although Li Shengyao did not publicly select the heroine of "Da Shang Gong", many people in Yanjing knew about it.

Many actresses called Li Shengyao and wanted to recommend themselves, but Li Shengyao refused.

He had already considered the female stars in his phone book, but none of them were suitable.

"Don't worry about those letters, we'll choose from the three of them."

Tong Lei, Hao Lei, and Shen Aojun, at least their acting skills are fine, as long as there is a schedule, they can act if they choose.
