Chapter 857 Audition Completed
The invitation for audition for "Changjin Lake" was sent out, which also meant that the hope of the rest was over.

Casting is always a mixed bag.

After all, there are limited roles, and good roles are an even scarcer resource.

The promotion of an actor's position depends on the accumulation of good resources like this.

Moreover, if you can star in a movie like "Changjin Lake" directed by three major directors, your status in the industry will naturally be raised.

Not everyone can star in movies directed by several big directors, unless there is a real need to select new actors.

However, the actors who have received audition invitations are all preparing for it. After all, opportunities are rare. If they fail to be selected due to audition problems, it would be too late to cry.

On the other hand, the hot publicity of the three tribute films has aroused the anticipation of many movie fans for the National Day period.

Although the stories of the three films "My Country, My Parents", "The Captain" and "The Climbers" are different, they all express the creators' feelings for the motherland through the films, and send heavy blessings to the motherland at the special moment of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Of course, the "birthday celebration" atmosphere of "My Motherland and I" is the strongest.

"Mr. Li, according to the current survey data, the audience of "My Motherland and I" has a very wide age distribution."

As the survey data before watching the movies in each period, it actually determines the promotion direction of this movie.

Everyone will collect the information. At this time, Lu Yu handed the current data to Li Mu and reported the contents of the three tribute films.

"Normal!" Li Mu smiled. After all, it was the National Day holiday. The name alone of "My Motherland and I" was enough to win the movie. What's more, half of the entertainment industry helped to sing various patriotic songs. Every familiar song was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"How is the casting preparation going?" Li Mu did not continue looking at the data report. He was more concerned about "Changjin Lake".

The preparations for the auditions were handled by Dream Film Media.

Although the National Day holiday is about ten days away, the auditions for "Changjin Lake" took place before that.

Moreover, according to the original plan, the project had to be officially announced to the public shortly after the National Day holiday, and then various press conferences and opening ceremonies had to be prepared, so the work items were endless.

"Mr. Li, according to the progress reported so far, it will be completed before Friday and will not affect the audition next Monday."

"Row."

Li Mu nodded slowly.

In the evening, the sunset arrived as promised, and the clear sky was dyed a brilliant orange-red.

The most beautiful scenery in the evening is the interplay of green and yellow.

The green of summer and the yellow of autumn echo each other among the leaves, forming a unique picture.

In the yard, Liu Yifei was scratching her head. She didn't feel the beauty and tranquility at all. Instead, she looked like she had a headache, until Li Mu's car drove in.

"what happened?"

After getting off the car, Li Mu asked curiously.

The little bun happily jumped and ran to Li Mu's feet, "Dad, I want to know why it takes five days to wear shoes and only two days to rest. Why not rest for five days and wear shoes for two days?"

The little boy with confused eyes asked very naively.

Liu Yifei also smiled bitterly and shook her head, indicating that she didn't know how to answer.

Li Mu squatted down and smiled, "What's wrong? Don't you want to go to school so soon?"

"No, I just like wearing shoes. I asked Lao Xi about it before, but I didn't quite understand what Lao Xi said." The little boy's desire for knowledge was very strong at this time, so he wanted to find out the truth.

"Hmm" Li Mu's brain was working frantically. This problem, in fact, had no solution. Should he tell the little kid that when he grows up, he may not even have two days of vacation.

This is a bit cruel.

Liu Yifei was also curiously waiting for Li Mu's answer.

Seeing the little bun's slightly admiring eyes, Li Mu suddenly had an idea and said slowly, "Baby, do we have to eat three meals a day, and every day?"

The little bun nodded vigorously.

Li Mu couldn't help but smile. He was still very persistent about the buns he was eating. "Then if you can only eat one meal every three days, would you be willing?"

The little bun shook his head violently, "I want seven good seven, I will be hungry for three days."

"So, some things are rules or regulations, but when you grow up, you may be able to change them, just like if you go hungry for one meal, you can eat two meals a day."

"No, I need seven or three meals."

The little girl pouted, fearing that Li Mu would ask her to eat only two meals.

At this moment, Li's mother called for dinner.

"Let's go and have dinner." Li Mu stood up and touched the little bun's head.

"Let's go, it's time for dinner." The little bun ran over excitedly.

Monday, September 9, 23 p.m.

There are already quite a few media outlets walking around Mengying Media.

This is the audition day for "Changjin Lake", and the location is arranged at Mengying Media. For the media, this is a rare interview opportunity.

Although Mengying Media has not opened up the interview session, it is possible that we may be able to interview the actors who have been auditioned.

Besides, the audition for "Changjin Lake" was already a piece of news, but the industry was still confused about who was auditioning, and not much information was spread. "Quick, quick, someone is coming, that's Wu Jing."

"That's Duan Yihong over there!"

"Look, Yu Hewei and Huang Xiaoming."

The media found that they could not keep up with the filming, so one after another talented actors came in.

"It looks like this casting is going to be quite a big deal. It will be interesting to see these people fighting each other."

"Nonsense, don't you think about the three directors in charge? They must be recorded in the history of Chinese film."

"Hurry up, stop talking."

"."

Mengying Media.

In the large conference room, more than 20 people were chatting in their own groups.

In fact, the probability of this casting is not small. After all, there are ten roles and there are only more than twenty people here.

Moreover, many of them are veteran actors with excellent acting skills, and they look very relaxed.

Of course, for new actors like Qu Chuxiao, Yi Yang Qianxi, and Liu Haoran, it’s completely different.

They seemed to be suppressed in the conference room. After all, the people inside were all their predecessors or seniors, and the three major domestic directors were sitting in the next room. When they thought about the importance of this movie, they felt nervous.

The others noticed it, smiled faintly, and said nothing.

They had experienced this situation before, and they were all experienced people. This kind of thing can only be accumulated through experience, or they are born with a big heart and can still control their emotions when facing great opportunities.

In another room, in addition to Li Mu, Zhang Yi and Chen Kaige, the casting director was also present to do some necessary auxiliary work.

"Mr. Li, everyone is here." The staff member knocked on the door and walked in to report.

"Brother, why don't we get started? Finish the auditions as soon as possible, gather the people, and wait for the project to be approved in October."

After hearing this, Li Mu glanced at his watch and then said.

"Let's get started and see how everyone is preparing."

Zhang Yi and Chen Kaige both smiled and nodded.

"Start calling people according to the list," Li Mu said to the staff. The order of the auditions has been decided, and they can just come one by one.

Wu Jing was the first to enter because Wu Qianli had only reserved him for the time being.

Seeing Wu Jing go in first, the expressions of the people in the conference room began to become much more serious, and some people seemed to have begun to get into role.

Huang Xiaoming couldn't help but feel a little nervous at this moment. His ranking was in the middle, and the role he was assigned to audition for was not light, that is, Yu Congrong, the platoon leader of the firepower platoon of the seventh company.

He had been preparing for this role for a long time. If he failed in the end, he would feel embarrassed. After all, Li Mu had personally decided on it for him and given him the opportunity.

"Huh!" Huang Xiaoming couldn't help but take a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes, as if he was imagining the scene of the audition later.

Wu Jing, who entered the audition room at this time, deliberately picked a few literary scenes to try out because of his foot problem and because the three of them all liked to watch literary dramas.

"I think it can be settled, it's very suitable." Zhang Yi spoke first.

"Okay, but I'll talk to you about my emotions when I'm filming them, so I can be more positive."

Brother Chen Kai is very strict about literary dramas, and he is very good at it himself, and he also made some suggestions.

Li Mu naturally had no objection, after all, he was the one who found the person.

After Wu Jing, Duan Yihong, Hu Jun and Zhang Hanyu came in one after another.

However, when it came to the audition for the role of the instructor of the Seventh Company, Zhu Yawen was not without competitors, but Zhang Yi and Chen Kaige had almost no hesitation and both gave the role to Zhu Yawen.

As expected, relationships will always affect people's judgment.

Obviously, the relationship between Li Mu and Zhu Yawen, plus Zhu Yawen's own good performance, made Zhang Yi and Chen Kaige have no hesitation at all. After all, it doesn't matter who they give it to, so they will naturally give it to the one who has a closer relationship with them.

The audition literally took up the entire afternoon.

Fortunately, there weren’t many people, and except for a few actors born in the 90s, the rest were experienced veteran actors born in the 70s and 80s, so the show went by very quickly.

At times like this, it basically depends on the actors' feelings.

If I think you are more suitable, then I will choose you, or if you fit the image I have in mind.

Many directors have character portraits in their minds for the characters in their scripts. Once an actor fits the profile, it's basically a done deal.

At this time, only the selected people were left in the conference room.

Wu Jing, Duan Yihong, Zhu Yawen, Huang Xiaoming, Yi Yang Qianxi, Hu Jun, Han Dongjun, Zhang Hanyu, Huang Xuan, Ou Hao.
Li Mu, Zhang Yi and Chen Kaige walked in, and everyone stood up immediately.

"It's okay, sit down. I have something to tell you in advance." Li Mu smiled and said, "If you are successful in the audition, you can inform them. That's no problem. But the role you are playing will be kept secret for the time being. Don't tell anyone else."

Li Mu specifically reminded that the main reason was that it was not yet time for "Changjin Lake" to be announced to the public.

There were also special staff members who gave explanations to those who failed the audition.
