It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

Chapter 496: The Iron Triangle of Ghost Blowing Lamps officially gathers! The "mediator" is gone!

If 'Hu Bayi' touches the hearts of male actors in domestic entertainment, then 'Shirley Yang' touches the hearts of all female stars in domestic entertainment, Hong Kong, Wanwan and other places!
Even after several rounds of preliminary reviews, more than 10 actresses still participated in the final review.

It’s scary to think about more than ten women competing for the same role...

What kind of Shura field is this?

In the corridor outside the audition room, all the actresses were making preparations without much communication with each other.

Since we are sitting here today, everyone is a competitor.

At this time, the entertainment industry is not like what it will be in the future. No matter what kind of "Shura field" it is, it must show a state of being good to me and everyone.

If I don't like you, then I will ignore you. This is the norm!
Rao was quite confident in himself, but at this moment, Shu Chang was still inexplicably nervous.

If we talk about popularity and celebrity ranking, among so many actresses in front of us, she is definitely the one at the bottom.

Sitting on the right is Shu Qi, who is reciting lines in fluent English. Every move reveals the attitude of an "overseas Chinese", which is very consistent with the character and background of "Shirley Yang".

"Yes!" Lu Yang nodded heavily: "This is the request of Director Ning and Director Chen. They need to know how good your background is. This is related to pre-production and post-production.

Lu Yang, who was acting as a temporary assistant, walked out.

Therefore, the role of Shirley Yang is bound to be a big challenge in terms of makeup design, and it is common to even appear without makeup.

Lu Yang smiled slightly towards Fan Bingbing's position, and then continued: "Considering that the time period of the protagonist group is the 80s, and the heroine often eats and sleeps in the open, and also enters the tomb...

After confirming that no one was absent, he repeated what Chen Fei had just said: "Good morning everyone, from now on, we have officially entered the audition process.

After taking a look at the many female celebrities waiting in the corridor, Rao had already made mental preparations in advance, but Lu Yang still couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

There's nothing to regret, since she still has "Resident Evil" and is not short of popularity at all.

Looking further, there is Li Xiaoran whose skin seems to be shining, Lin Zhiling, who is known as the "most beautiful woman in Bay Area", domestic entertainment star Fan Bingbing, star girl Zhang Yuqi, former international actress Zhang Ziyi, and current international actress Li Bingbin , the heartthrob Chen Hao, Zhang Jingchu, Wang Luojue, Tong Liya, Bai Li, Yang Mi, Jing Tian...

...

As soon as he finished speaking, Fan Bingbing immediately answered: "Good-looking, intelligent, very brave, and very charming..."

How difficult is it to successfully win in such a lineup?
Of course, she herself is not without advantages.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as you can be selected, you don't have to worry about losing popularity for at least ten years.

Of course, if someone cannot accept it, they can withdraw now. After all, this is only the first step of the audition, and subsequent steps may be more stringent. "

The most important thing is that she is not the kind of dragging-down heroine.

Although the main perspective is on the male protagonist Hu Bayi, Shirley Yang's role is almost parallel to that of the male protagonist.

Especially for female stars like them who are in the film industry, if their faces move too much, they can almost say goodbye to the film industry.

And after filming in North America this time, I might be able to find opportunities to stay in Hollywood and explore the international market.

Under the gaze of a group of female celebrities, a top makeup team in the industry appeared at the end of the corridor!
Just when everyone was curious, they heard Lu Yang continue: "I think everyone should have read the original work of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" before coming to the audition, and also understood the character and characteristics of Shirley Yang. Bar?"

There are mainland actors among you, as well as actors from Xiangjiang and Wanwan. The following auditions will determine the final roles through different age groups, different personalities, and different performance methods.

Even though she pays great attention to medical beauty and spends an astronomical amount of money on her face every year, she can't hide the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes.

The more he looked at it, the less confident Shu Chang became.

She is quite confident in her bare face. After all, she is still young and has just turned 30 this year. She attaches great importance to this face on weekdays, and the collagen in it has not completely faded away.

This kind of trace that has been ravaged by time cannot be solved by spending money.

"What's so daring about this? Isn't it just removing makeup?"

After that, he waved to the other side of the corridor.

"A Shirley Yang has affected the entire domestic entertainment female star community!"

Therefore, before entering the audition room, you need to appear in your most original state. "

This is one of the reasons why all the actresses are competing for the role of "Shirley Young".

In the original work, Shirley Yang's role is very important!

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw the door to the audition room being pushed open.

Li Bingbin was angered by her look, but there was nothing he could do about it.

As an actress introduced by Liu Yifei, she has a good relationship, but this "relationship" may be difficult to hold...

Fan Bingbing walked out first and walked towards the other side of the corridor without hesitation.

38-year-old comrade, do you still dare to appear on camera without makeup?

It's not a pendant-type character, it has a sense of presence, it's easy to attract fans, and it has a ridiculous tens of billions of IP plans. Who wouldn't want to participate in this kind of movie?

He adjusted his state and checked the list to confirm all the auditioners present today.

Okay then, let’s move on to the first step of the audition process. "

Zhang Ziyi was slightly startled and asked subconsciously: "So, do you want to remove your makeup?"

Sitting on the left is Zhang Junning. He has a great face and figure. His long hair is tied behind his head, and he looks very heroic.

Therefore, while watching Fan Bingbing disappear at the end of the corridor, she stood up and walked in the direction of the elevator.

When passing by Li Bingbin, she gave him a provocative look.

This is much better than hiding in the mainland.

In addition to Li Bingbin, two other actresses subsequently turned away because they could not accept appearing on camera without makeup.

Shu Chang didn't care about this. She was still young and now was in her best condition. She could accept it with or without makeup.

Soon, after removing their makeup, everyone took a close-up of their faces for the camera, and then entered the audition room one by one to prepare for the audition.

It is still an established process.

Ning Hao was responsible for putting forward the audition requirements, while Chen Fei was taking notes and grading on the side.

Every actress who has finished her audition will go to the makeup area as soon as possible after walking out of the audition area to restore her beautiful makeup.

There are many media outside the company waiting for interviews, and they don't want their bare face to appear in the reporters' lenses.

Fan Bingbing did not forget to give up any opportunity to suppress his competitors, and directly revealed the news about the audition without makeup and Li Bingbin's early departure in front of the media.

For a moment, the media waiting outside the company felt that their trip was well worth it.

Compared with the fights and grievances between these female stars, the male stars are much more boring.

Since Ning Hao announced that Liu Ye was chosen as "Hu Bayi", the media have successively interviewed other male stars who had auditioned with him.

Unfortunately, they didn't hear anything worth reporting from those male stars.

Even Huang Xiaoming and Nie Yuan, who were controversial some time ago, did not reveal anything worthy of attention during the audition process.

On the other hand, it’s much more exciting for female celebrities!

Before the audition was over, Fan Bingbing revealed the news that Li Bingbin would "quit without a fight."

For a moment, the media present were all looking forward to it.

The entertainment hot spot has already appeared. After the audition is over, there will definitely be a fight!
Putting aside everything else, there will definitely be a fierce fight between "Fan" and "Li"!

The auditions continued, and as time went on, the duration of the auditions gradually began to shorten.

Shu Chang noticed a situation. The female stars from Wanwan usually couldn't stay in the audition room for long.

The shortest one was Lin Zhiling, who came out within less than a minute after entering.

This also made her very curious, what is the specific content of the audition, and why does it take so long for some people? Why do some people have so little time?

The hour flew by.

When Lu Yang appeared at the door of the audition room again, the name that came out of his mouth was "Shu Chang".

"Coming!"

After adjusting his state slightly, Shu Chang hurried over to meet him.

After entering the audition room, she immediately saw Ning Hao and Chen Fei sitting behind the table, Kang Honglei who was filming, and Liu Ye who was in charge of supporting the scene.

The scene in front of her made her slightly stunned.

It was just an audition, but four directors came, and three of them were first-line directors in the industry who had directed movies with a box office of over 700 million!
In this scene, most third-tier actors would be frightened when they came in, right?
Ning Hao was the first to speak: "The entire audition process needs to be recorded. It will not be announced without my permission. Is this okay?"

Shu Chang nodded quickly and said, "No problem."

"Then let's start directly?"

"it is good!"

Shu Chang nodded slightly, feeling a little nervous for no reason.

She prepared a lot before coming, but because she didn't know what the audition was about today, she felt a little panicked unconsciously.

The next second, I heard Ning Hao say: "First of all, you need to show your best martial arts moves.

Because there will be a lot of action scenes during the filming of this drama, we require that the actresses must have experience in shooting action scenes. "Hearing this, Shu Chang finally understood why those actresses from Wanwan ended their auditions in such a short period of time.

Just like Lin Chiling, where does she have any experience in action scenes?
There is no "Mengmeng stands up" scene in Ghost Blowing the Lantern, so naturally she is not needed.

In fact, most of the actresses who came to audition today did not meet the conditions to participate in the final review. However, favors are inevitable.

Some actresses even made it clear before they came that their purpose was just for popularity and they didn't expect to get roles at all.

For the crew of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", this kind of popularity can be regarded as a win-win publicity opportunity, and there is no reason to refuse it.

...

After a clean action scene, Shu Chang's performance was unanimously recognized by several directors present.

Chen Fei should be considered the most vocal among the directors. After all, when he first became famous, he collaborated with Shu Chang on several costume dramas.

From very early on, Shu Chang has been one of the well-known martial arts actresses in the industry.

Even when it comes to action scenes, she is half as good as Liu Yifei!

There are many actresses who can shoot action scenes, but there are extremely few female stars who can skillfully demonstrate their skills in martial arts scenes.

Among all the actresses auditioning today, Shu Chang's action skills are the best!

In the following live performance session, she also showed an acting level that was no weaker than that of Fan Bingbing, Zhang Jingchu and others.

The audition lasted until the afternoon.

After all the actresses left, Chen Fei and Ning Hao began to score and judge the performance of the actresses who came to audition today.

"Those actresses from Wanwan have been Photoshopped out. I can't accept that Shirley Yang is a cute girl with big eyes..."

"And those few who can't even speak Mandarin well, don't know where they get their confidence?"

"Zhang Jingchu? Forget it, she knows what's going on with her. Just give Director Gu some face and let her come over and try it out."

"Should I say it or not, Li Xiaoran is really fair. It's a pity that her spokesperson actually asked her not to darken her skin?"

"Zhang Ziyi... is a little older, and her skin condition is too bad. It will probably be even worse on camera! ps..."

"If Yang Mi, Jing Tian, ​​and Bai Li are photoshopped out, the acting skills of these three people will not be up to par."

"Who else is left?"

"Fan Bingbing, Zhang Yuqi, Chen Hao, Wang Luojue, Tong Liya, Shu Chang."

"Personally, I think Shu Chang is more suitable. Her performance in the action scenes is the most outstanding, and the others can't even be considered as showy."

"Then let's take her. By the way, how many years of the contract did she sign with the agency?"

"8."

"Okay, it's just right. You don't have to worry about any subsequent termination issues."

……

One day later, under the instruction of Chen Fei, the official Weibo of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" directly announced the audition results of "Shirley Yang".

"Congratulations Shu Chang, welcome to join the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" family..."

Along with this notice, there was also information about Shu Chang's audition.

The entire process from her entering the audition room, to performing according to Ning Hao's request, to acting with Liu Ye, was faithfully recorded by the camera and then posted online.

The reason why this video was released is also very simple.

Neither Chen Fei nor Ning Hao wanted to be known as a "secret operation".

If an actress who auditions that day expresses dissatisfaction, she can publish her audition process and leave it to netizens to judge.

This can solve a lot of troubles.

Sure enough, after the audition video was released, the actresses who were still a little impatient suddenly stopped.

They can accept themselves slapping others in the face, but they cannot accept other female celebrities slapping themselves in the face.

At times like this, it's better to be quiet.

At this point, the candidates for Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang have been officially determined.

As for the last member of the trio, "Fat Wang", it didn't take much effort to identify him.

Liu Ye introduced his classmate and National Theater actor Chen Minghao.

It just so happens that this person also co-starred with Shu Chang in "Magic Phone", so he can be regarded as an old friend.

As soon as the three met, the "iron triangle" atmosphere was instantly revealed!

Although Shu Chang is a little younger than the other two, as long as his acting skills are in place, the rest can be made up for by technical means.

At this point, the iron triangle of "Hu Bayi", "Shirley Yang" and "Fat Wang" in the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series has been officially finalized.

Gui Chui Deng’s official Weibo immediately announced the makeup photos of the three of them, which received a lot of praise from the media and netizens!
"This casting won my heart!"

"Liu Ye and Chen Minghao are actually classmates? Damn it, the life experiences and backgrounds of Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang who grew up together are just right."

"Although my first choice for Shirley Yang is Liu Yifei, after watching the whole audition process of Shu Chang, I suddenly felt that she is not impossible."

"Shu Chang's fighting and acting skills are already very good, but she doesn't do much marketing on weekdays."

"When will filming start? Will it be released next year? I'm already looking forward to it!"

……

Chen Fei no longer paid attention to the remaining characters, but left them all to Ning Hao.

The trouble from Shu Chang's father was nothing to him.

It happened that Wanda owed him a lot of favors, so Chen Fei directly entrusted this matter to Ye Ning to handle it.

For a company that started out in construction, dealing with this kind of extortion incident is simply a "professional counterpart."

After turning his attention away from "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", Chen Fei first paid attention to the box office situation of "Chilling 2".

After the first day's box office exceeded 2 million, "Chilling 3" has created an excellent result of breaking million in the first three days of the weekend, directly knocking the previous Zhou Guan "Love Is Not Blind" to the ground and rubbing it like crazy!
As the second Hong Kong film to succeed in the mainland market this year, Hong Kong media spoke highly of it, calling it the most successful film after "Infernal Affairs".

In particular, the confrontation between the three movie emperors, Liang Jiahui, Guo Fucheng and Chow Yun-fat, presents a gripping and exciting story for this movie!

Correspondingly, the pressure for "Legend of Hongmen Banquet", which will be released at the end of the month, has doubled!

The former has achieved such excellent results, if they perform too poorly, they will inevitably suffer a wave of ridicule!
In order to avoid such a situation, Li Renggang led the main creative members such as Li Ming, Zhang Hanyu, Bai Li, Feng Shaofeng, etc. to launch rounds of publicity activities.

Compared with the hidden competition between several movies, the dispute between Zhang Weiping and the theaters has completely entered a white-hot stage!
As both parties continue to increase their stakes, it has suddenly evolved into a game between the production industry and the theaters!
On the theater side, led by the nine major theater chains, followed by some small theater chains, they jointly signed a joint boycott statement.

On the producers' side, Zhang Weiping also sent out invitations to major production companies to sign joint agreements to jointly put pressure on theaters.

Many people got excited and actually signed the agreement.

But this will certainly not include Feiyue Film and Television.

Chen Fei has always maintained the mentality of watching a show. It is absolutely impossible for him to participate in the show.

Zhang Weiping didn't have such a big reputation.

As the incident intensified, the mediator finally appeared.

Chen Fei received a notice from the Film Bureau: "On the 20th, come to the General Administration for a meeting."

It's useless no matter how fierce the commotion is below. This kind of matter related to industry adjustment has always been set by the bureau.

Now, as several parties continue to play games, the incident is getting closer to clarity.

Just wait for the day when the results are announced.

Huo Qigang also returned from South Korea.

The introduction is easy to talk about, and Show Box and CJ never miss such a good thing.

"What? You can't hide it anymore?"

"The bureau calls, I have to come!"

"I heard... which path are you planning to take?"

"Yes." Huo Qigang didn't hide anything and said directly: "Art development, culture and sports, and tourism are the foundation for my upward progress."

Chen Fei asked tentatively: "Is there anything I can do to help you?"

Huo Qigang thought about it seriously and finally shook his head: "Not yet. If there is anything in the future, I will go find you."

"Okay, then prepare the melon seeds and wait for the show on the 20th. Believe me, it will be very exciting and you will never be disappointed."

Huo Qigang: "???"
