Chapter 209 Invisible flirting is the most deadly! (Please subscribe!)

Suburbs of Beijing, villa.

"Woooooooo..."

There were too many people in the audition hotel, so Liu Yifei kept holding on, and cried immediately when she got home.

For this audition, she not only read the script carefully, but also bought and read the original work by Zhang Henshui.

Not only that, she also wrote a biography of Bai Xiuzhu according to Lin Xuan's request.

She tried to figure out the character's mental state at different times, watched movies and TV shows with similar characters, and even asked her mother to act with her.

She put in so much effort, but all she got from him was: Go home and wait for news.

Liu Yifei felt aggrieved and couldn't stand it at that time.

The most important thing is that Shu Chang, who is in the same year as her, easily passed the audition.

In contrast to the two, Liu Yifei's mentality completely collapsed.

Seeing her daughter crying, Liu Xiaoli sighed and was in a bad mood.

She has never been so embarrassed in her life!

Those harsh jeers were still ringing in her ears.

I'm so bored!

What's the matter!

Liu Xiaoli immediately took out her mobile phone and called Chen Jinfei.

…………

After the audition on the first day, Lin Xuan received a call from Chen Jinfei as soon as he returned home.

"Director Lin, I heard that there was something wrong with Sissi's audition today?"

Chen Jinfei is having dinner with his boss outside.

As a result, Liu Xiaoli called him and complained to him.

After listening for a long time, he finally understood that there was something wrong with Liu Yifei's audition.

"Well, the director of the production had a strong opinion of Sissi and firmly refused to let her play the role. He even got into a quarrel with Mr. You."

"Then what should we do, Sissi..." Chen Jinfei was a little anxious.

"Don't worry, Mr. Chen. I have solved the problem. The crew will send a notice to her in a few days."

Hearing this, Chen Jinfei was choked up with the rest of his words, and his emotions seemed to go through a roller coaster.

After a few seconds of delay, he spoke:

"That's good, that's good! I have always believed in Director Lin's ability, mainly because of Qian Qian's mother..."

"It's okay, Mr. Chen, I understand. Sister Liu is confused if she cares."

"Yes, yes, that's what you mean, then I won't bother you."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Jinfei told Liu Xiaoli the news.

Like him, mother and daughter felt like they were on a roller coaster today.

In the end, there was no danger, and the role of Bai Xiuzhu was finally won.

However, Liu Xiaoli was a little worried that after Liu Yifei joined the cast, the director would make things difficult for her because of her acting skills.

"Sissi, I heard from Lin Xuan that the director of the production is very dissatisfied with you, which means that your practice during this period has not been effective. I think it is better to hire a professional teacher to teach you."

Liu Yifei burst into laughter and nodded quickly.

"Okay, Brother Lin Xuan's acting skills are very good. Can I let him teach me?"

Knowing that Lin Xuan supported her, Liu Yifei changed her name to her brother.

"I am a big star and a big director, so how can I have time to teach you a kid about acting? Mom, please find a teacher from Beijing Film Academy for you."

Liu Xiaoli burst into laughter.

Your brother is very evil. The second female lead in a TV series took away more than two million from Chen Jinfei.

Even if he is willing to teach you, Chen Jinfei is probably reluctant to spend the money.

"Oh, okay."

…………

On the second day of the audition, the crew decided on several important roles.

The role Lin Xuan assigned to Wang Likun was the sixth lady of the Jin family.

Although she has a small role in the play, her character is very full and she is a patriotic young woman with progressive ideas.

Starting from the third day, Lin Xuan stayed at home to check the post-production of "The Best in the World", met with some good friends, and re-revised the script.

The rest are small roles with few roles, and there is no need for him to come in person.

Two days later, Lin Xuan went to the radio and television station and handed over the "No. 1 in the World" plate to the superiors for review.

With Director Wu leading the way, he also met several leaders of radio and television, and these connections would be used sooner or later in the future.

A few days later, the audition ended successfully.

The crew sent a notice to all the actors and asked them to come over and sign as soon as possible.

At the same time, the new and revised script was sent to them, and Producer Lin's requirements for the actors were conveyed to them so that they could prepare in advance.

After the contract was signed, the crew immediately disclosed the information about "Golden Pink Family" to the public, and the media immediately reported it.

["Costume Goddess" Lin Xuan has begun his transformation and confirmed that the new drama will be the Republic of China drama "The Golden Family", adapted from the novel of the same name by Zhang Henshui, a writer of the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School! 】

This news immediately caused an uproar on the Internet.

[Lin Xuan actually made a modern drama! 】

【Republic of China drama! It's not a modern drama, there is a big difference between the two. 】

[Why did Lin Xuan suddenly start to transform? It was so sudden. Are costume dramas not popular anymore? 】

[I’m really looking forward to it. Even though I’m a fan of Lin Xuan, I still get tired of watching ancient costumes every day. 】

[It’s only been a few dramas and I’m already tired of it. I never get tired of watching Lin Xuan’s costumes. I feel new every time. 】

[That’s right, Li Yuanfang, Linghu Chong, and Nie Feng have breakthroughs in their costume images every time. 】

["The Golden Family", I've seen TVB's version, Liu Songren plays Jin Zhenxi and Wang Mingquan plays He Yanqiu. 】

[The TVB version is called "A Spring Dream in Beijing" and is the first Hong Kong TV series introduced to the Mainland. 】

[What the hell is the name? "Golden Pink Family" sounds so nice. Leng Qingqiu was also changed to He Yanqiu, which is so rustic. 】

[The first female lead, Dong Jie, the second female lead, Liu Yifei...they are two new people, and there is also a minor. Lin Xuan has a new taste? 】

[Build up your moral integrity, don’t make any jokes about minors! Liu Yifei is the youngest student in the history of Beijing Film Academy and she looks like a fairy. 】

[Dong Jie is not a newcomer. She is a girl selected by Zhang Yimou from 40,000 people. She collaborated with Zhao Benshan in her first movie. 】

[Looking forward to the new work. Compared to ancient costumes, I prefer Lin Xuan’s modern costumes! 】

…………

a few days later.

The crew held a script reading meeting in a hotel on the outskirts of Beijing.

At eight o'clock in the morning, actors arrived one after another.

The conference room gradually became lively, and everyone stood up to greet each other.

Some of the actors were already known to each other, such as Kou Zhenhai, who plays the head of the Jin family, and Chen Lu, who plays the maid Xiao Lian.

The two have worked together in "Love in the Rain", with Kou Zhenhai playing Lu Zhenhua and Chen Lu playing Keyun.

Some actors met during auditions, such as Liu Yifei and Shu Chang, two underage children.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Lin Xuan rushed to the hotel conference room.

"Director Lin!"

"Hello, Director Lin."

As Lin Xuan walked over, the actors stood up to say hello, with warm smiles on their faces.

Most of them are working with Lin Xuan for the first time, and some are even meeting Lin Xuan for the first time.

Everyone is very curious about this superstar who is extremely popular in domestic entertainment.

"Good morning everyone, please sit down, don't stand."

There was a character card on the conference table, and Lin Xuan walked to his seat and sat down.

"Director Lin."

To his left is Liu Yifei, who plays Bai Xiuzhu.

The little girl has been training her acting skills with a teacher from Beijing Film Academy these days, and the teacher also told her some unspoken rules of the crew.

For example, in public places, no matter how close you are to a director or a big-name actor, you must use honorifics and not call them by their first names.

That's why the little girl changed her name to Director Lin.

"Hello, Liu Yifei, right?"

"Yes, Director Lin, just call me Qianqian."

The two pretended not to know each other and even shook hands.

To Lin Xuan's right is Dong Jie, who plays Leng Qingqiu.

"Director Lin, I have lost six kilograms."

Lin Xuan looked at her face and found that she was indeed much thinner than the last audition.

"One kilogram a day must be a lot of hard work to lose weight."

Dong Jie smiled and said: "For the role, this little hardship is nothing."

"Yeah, that's good. But you have to lose weight scientifically, otherwise it's easy to hurt your body.

And it’s not conducive to character development. The look on your face right now, I can tell you’re on a diet to lose weight. ”   Lin Xuan gave her some popular science tips on scientific weight loss.

What are the three major nutritional elements, how to manage carbon, protein, and fat, how to formulate a fitness plan, etc.

Dong Jie became more and more confused as she listened, and finally realized: "Director Lin, do I still want to lose weight?"

"It's better to lose another five kilograms and keep it off."

Dong Jie frowned and explained: "I feel like I'm reaching my limit. Now I feel a little dizzy when I walk."

"As I said just now, you are on an unscientific diet to lose weight. If you lose two pounds a day, you will be lucky if you don't faint from hunger.

I will contact a personal nutritionist later and ask him to make a fat loss plan for you. You can just follow it.

As for the daily customized lunch boxes, I will have them prepared to ensure that you are full and will not go hungry. "

This kind of overbearing president-like behavior is extremely lethal in reality.

Dong Jie's face turned slightly red after being flirted with in just a few words, and a warm current surged through her heart: "Thank you, Director Lin, for troubling you."

"No trouble, you are the heroine, you must take good care of your body."

Lin Xuan looked at Dong Jie with some doubts in his heart.

No, I haven't flirted with you yet.

Liu Yifei sat aside and frowned at the two of them.

Lin Xuan only chatted with her for two sentences, but with Dong Jie, he chatted for more than ten sentences.

She was a little depressed and felt that her self-esteem had been frustrated.

This woman is just average looking, why are you talking to her for so long?

They hired a personal nutritionist and delivered customized lunch boxes.

Is it...

She suddenly remembered a rumor she had seen in a magazine before.

Lin Xuan has a very special aesthetic and likes girls who are slightly chubby.

Could this rumor be true?

What a fart!

She is now in the novice's invincible protection period. Even if Lin Xuan is too busy to flirt with her, there is no way he can flirt with her.

It's the most troublesome to cultivate anything. He prefers to pick ripe fruits directly.

…………

The script reading meeting lasted for three days.

Three days later, the crew held a start-up ceremony at the film and television base in Yangzhuang, a suburb of Beijing.

Media and reporters flocked to the event.

Lin Xuan has been filming costume dramas in recent years, and fans call him "the most handsome man in costume".

"Family of Gold" is his first challenge to a Republic of China drama, so of course the media will pay attention to it.

Faced with reporters' questions, Lin Xuan started by challenging himself and jumping out of his comfort zone, and his answers were flawless.

Apart from Lin Xuan, Liu Yifei has been interviewed the most.

After all, she is so young, only fifteen years old, and she is so beautiful.

These people will inevitably conjure up certain images in their minds.

Regarding doubts in this regard, Liu Yifei gave a clear explanation.

These answers were all designed with the help of her mother and the crew.

Make sure she doesn't get caught out by reporters.

After the opening ceremony, the crew distributed the shooting schedule, and those actors who had no chance to play could leave.

Lin Xuan and Dong Jie followed the crew and prepared to shoot the first scene.

In the dressing room, Lin Xuan sat on a chair and put on makeup.

He was wearing a white suit and tie, with his hair slicked back.

The makeup artist only applied a thin layer of makeup on him.

In less than five minutes, the makeup artist's work is over.

"It's so fast."

In the past, when filming costume dramas, makeup would start in half an hour. However, Lin Xuan was still a little uncomfortable with the Republic of China dramas being so fast.

Not only is his makeup simple and quick, the same goes for the heroine Dong Jie.

Wearing a simple blue student uniform from the Republic of China, he put on two wig braids and applied a little makeup on his face.

As the name suggests, Leng Qingqiu people want a cool feeling, so don’t wear too much makeup.

Dong Jie put on makeup and stood up, and found Lin Xuan folding his arms and looking at her with amusement.

That frivolous expression looks like Jin Yanxi in the play.

For those who didn’t know, I thought filming had started.

"what happened?"

Dong Jie felt a little embarrassed when he stared at her.

"Let's play with you first and get a feel for it."

Lin Xuan took out the script and his expression returned to its original state.

The staff in the dressing room were shocked to realize that he was really playing Jin Yanxi just now.

Wow, that's amazing. It's so well acted. It's so good that it doesn't even look like an act.

The crew is setting up the scene outside, so of course the free time cannot be wasted.

"Why don't you go home?"

The two sat on chairs, and Liu Yifei came over with the script.

"Today is the first scene for the crew. I want to see the filming process with my own eyes."

For Liu Yifei, a newcomer, she is about to experience many firsts.

"Oh, then go and take a look over there."

"We'll read it when we're filming." She picked up the script and said, "I have a few acting questions to ask you."

"No problem, just wait for a moment and let me talk about the scene."

"Ok."

The first scene of the crew was very simple, with just a few lines, Lin Xuan could perform it well with his eyes closed.

However, Dong Jie's acting skills are ordinary and can only be regarded as a passing level.

It doesn't mean that just because she has acted in Zhang Yimou's movies, her acting skills must be very good.

Zhang Ziyi's performance in Chinese dramas was at the bottom, so why should Zhang Yimou still use her?

Lin Xuan was very similar to Zhang Yimou when choosing roles.

They value character suitability more than acting skills.

Li Dawei chose Dong Jie because of her quiet and cool temperament.

"It still doesn't seem to work."

After reviewing the scene several times, Lin Xuan always felt that she was missing something.

Dong Jie nodded silently, she also felt that she didn't perform well just now.

Liu Yifei blinked her big eyes, with a clear sense of stupidity in her eyes.

"I think your performance is great. What's wrong?"

Looking at the pair of sleeping dragons and phoenix chicks, Lin Xuan shook his head and sighed:

"Forget it, one sheep is a herd, two sheep are herds, you two come together, and I will analyze the roles for you."

Hearing this, Dong Jie and Liu Yifei looked at each other, and then sat around together.

With the guidance of Lin Xuan, the first person of the new generation, I believe they will make rapid progress.

…………

In the evening, the crew set up the scene and prepared for filming.

Lin Xuan got into the Republic of China version of the convertible sports car and took a walk on the street at night.

Jin Yanxi is a playboy who is extremely rich in material and extremely empty in spirit.

Apart from running around, drinking and having fun with friends, he couldn't find anything serious to do every day.

Therefore, there was a trace of confusion and dullness on his face. After all, life was too empty.

Here is a close-up of Lin Xuan.

Li Dawei sat in front of the monitor, looking at the expression and eyes on his face, and secretly admired him.

It’s hard to live up to the reputation.

As expected of Lin Xuan, his acting skills are truly unparalleled.

After a while, he shouted loudly: "Click! This one has passed. Change to the next lens!"

Lin Xuan passed the first shot of the first scene with ease!

There is no pressure or difficulty for him.

The onlookers Liu Yifei and Dong Jie opened their mouths in surprise, impressed by his instantly engaging acting skills.

The crew also took the initiative to applaud him.

Just one line passed, a good sign!
