Chapter 302: Best friend’s bad idea! (Please subscribe!)

Back in the lounge, Lin Xuan told Chen Hong what happened just now.

"Chang Li is very experienced in Chinese dramas. Now that she has spoken, we must give her some face.

Take a look at the remaining roles. Are there any suitable for Zeng Li? "

These small roles with few roles were originally used by Chen Hong as a favor.

A partner of the company, an actor with good connections, a kid from a rich family who comes down to earth to experience life.

Sometimes such small roles are more popular than roles with more roles.

"Let me take a look."

Chen Hong pulled out the character sheet.

Lin Xuan moved the chair next to her and pointed at a line of names.

"I think all three are fine, it's up to you to decide."

Lin Xuan stood up with the list in hand.

…………

But before she could speak, Lin Xuan changed the topic: "Do you think the winner will be you?"

All the students who entered the re-examination returned to the stage and lined up.

"The heroine...Zhou Shutong!"

"Well said, actors must not only have confidence, but also faith. I heard that you don't do kissing scenes?"

Several people discussed the final decision on the stage, and the most critical one was the heroine Zhou Shutong.

There was a burst of laughter in the lounge.

Chen Hong shook his head and said, "Not yet. You said you needed an actress with bigger breasts for this role, so I didn't put it on the audition list."

Students who entered the re-examination were drawn again to appear on stage and re-acted the roles in the audition.

"But the rules are the rules. I still have to choose one of the three of you. Who will get the role in the end?"

"So confident?"

"You can learn acting, I don't have any objections."

On the one hand, the suitability of the role must be taken into consideration.

"Has the role of the bar proprietress been decided yet?"

The students in front of him and the audience in the audience couldn't help but calm down.

On the other hand, the proportion of the three major universities must also be considered, and one cannot be biased towards any one.

She looked up at Lin Xuan.

The answer that is about to be revealed will completely change their lives.

"Tang Yan's acting skills are still very poor, but her appearance is very suitable, so maybe she will be the one."

tease me?
"I...I think so."

Lin Xuan shook his head: "I didn't pay attention!"

Several people wrote and drew on the paper to modify their names.

"If you have any opinions, feel free to say it. Once it's decided now, it won't be easy to change it later."

"The role is suitable and the performance is not difficult. Maybe it will be her."

Hold the grass!

Ten minutes later, the final list was released.

Lin Xuan suddenly changed the topic, causing the three of them to take a breath, with resentful eyes.

"Han Hao..."

"I think actors have to have confidence."

This time Lin Xuan and others watched more carefully, and the students' performance time was also extended.

Hearing this, Han Hao's eyes instantly became bigger.

Chen Hong looked at him jokingly: "Does Zeng Li have big breasts?"

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the audition started on time.

The three of them held their breath again.

"Okay, let's decide on Tang Yan!"

Two hours later, the retest ended.

"To be honest, the three of you each have your own strengths and weaknesses, and no one of you perfectly meets the requirements of the role."

The three female students paused and held their breath nervously.

"Hahahaha!"

Han Hao was stunned and had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Yes, my family doesn't allow it."

"Kissing scenes are not allowed, so why are you allowed to enter the entertainment industry?"

"I don't think kissing is necessary for emotional scenes. Excellent directors, screenwriters, and actors can use lenses, lines, and performances to express the emotions of the characters."

Who is she mocking?

Lin Xuan smiled and threw her into the pit with his backhand.

"According to your logic, Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Jiang Wen, Lou Ye, Jia Zhangke, Wang Xiaoshuai...are not considered excellent directors?"

The above-mentioned directors are all leaders of the fifth and sixth generations of mainland directors.

Han Hao fell into the trap and quickly defended: "That's not what I meant, I just didn't want to do a kissing scene."

"That's right. If you don't want to film it, don't want to film it. Don't get involved in other aspects. Since kissing scenes are not acceptable, then exposed scenes are even less acceptable, right?"

Han Hao had given up hope and nodded silently.

"It's a pity that you lost the election. Zhou Shutong had an exposed role."

Hearing this, several girls on the stage widened their eyes.

Hold the grass!

There is also such a scene!

Why didn't you say anything just now?
This sentence made the students in the audience burst into excitement.

Is there such a scene where the heroine is exposed?

That means that after a few more months, we will be able to appreciate the graceful figure of the senior or schoolmate.

The audience applauded excitedly.

Director Lin is such a good person. He never keeps good things to himself and knows how to share them with everyone.

"Did any of the remaining two quit on their own initiative?"

Jiang Yiyan and Tang Yan looked at each other, but neither of them spoke.

Now that we have come this far, there is nothing we can do to back down.

I'm just filming a movie, so I'm willing to risk everything.

The two looked at Lin Xuan and shook their heads.

"very good!"

Lin Xuan looked at the two of them with admiration.

"But don't worry, it's just a bare back."

"Hey……"

There was a sound of disappointment in the audience.

"I will announce that the winner of Zhou Shutong's audition is..."

The two of them held their breath again and pricked up their ears.

"Tang Yan!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Yan covered her mouth in disbelief.

The emotions that had been accumulated for a long time collapsed instantly, and tears flowed down.

Jiang Yiyan was like an eggplant beaten by frost, her whole body was visibly wilted.

The audience was silent for a few seconds, and then burst into warm applause.

The Chinese Opera students were particularly excited.

They don't care who Tang Yan is or whether she is worthy of playing the heroine.

All you need to know is that Tang Yan is a student of China National Opera.

The heroine Hua Luo is in the drama, which beats Beijing Film and Television Film and Television.

The honor was enough to dispel the dark clouds hanging over their heads.

Lin Xuan waited for her to calm down before continuing.

"Tang Yan, your appearance is very suitable for Zhou Shutong. At the same time, I admire your behavior of cutting your hair short for the audition.

But your acting skills were the worst among all the audition students.

After joining the group, you must study hard and spend more time on the show.

If the filming schedule is delayed due to your fault, the crew has the right to fire you. "

Tang Yan's eyes were red from crying and she nodded repeatedly.

The opportunity to soar is right in front of you!

Even if I don't eat, drink or sleep, I still want to play Zhou Shutong well!

The biggest suspense has been revealed, so there is no need to delay the remaining characters.

Lin Xuan quickly announced the name of the winning student.

On the stage, some people are happy and some are sad.

After the list was read out, the unsuccessful students left.

There were only eight students left on the stage, and they were all exposed to rain and dew from the three major universities.

The crew producer Chen Hong took out the actor's contract.

Eight students signed their names on the contract in front of teachers and students from the three schools.

At this point, the audition meeting for "White Night" has officially ended. The students left the scene one by one, their expressions still excited.

After Lin Xuan said hello to the school leaders, he declined the invitation to have a meal and left the Chinese Drama campus in a car.

…………

The next morning, the casting was in the newspapers.

Information about Tang Yan and others was quickly dug up and circulated in the media and on the Internet.

Before they even leave campus, they are already famous on the Internet, and some media even want to interview them.

Facing the swarming media, the eight people were frightened and didn't know what to do.

This is the benefit of participating in Lin Xuan's drama.

The media attention and exposure are not at the same level as those street dramas.

Eight students became celebrities at school.

Even Huang Bo has more friends around him, and his classmates have become extremely attentive.

Tang Yan, who has the aura of "second-generation Xuan girl", received dozens of love letters in one day.

Her bed was filled with flowers and gifts from boys.

At the same time, Han Ling's refusal to film a kissing scene also caused discussion in the media.

There are voices for and against, but most people think it should be filmed.

You are an actor and this is what you eat.

If you don’t want to shoot this or that, it’s better to change your job as soon as possible.

Lin Xuan's reply to Han Hao was also spread by the audience.

He gave several directors as examples, but the audience was surprised to find that Feng Xiaogang's name was not among the directors given.

It seems that as the media speculated, the two directors of Huayi have completely broken up.

…………

In the next few days, Chen Hong was busy coordinating the shooting location.

"White Night" has a lot of car chases and street chases.

Filming such scenes requires the cooperation of the local traffic control department.

In order to attract the crew to film, governments in many places have expressed their willingness to provide assistance.

What Chen Hong has to do is take the location team to various cities for on-site inspections.

Lin Xuan was not idle in the capital either.

He continued to audition actors and cast the remaining roles.

At the same time, he called Zeng Li and asked her to come over and sign the contract.

After receiving the call, Zeng Li was so excited that she jumped around at home for a long time.

After she calmed down, she quickly called her college friend to tell her the good news.

By the way, I would like to ask if you would like to buy something to thank Lin Xuan.

Zhang Tong: "Buy it, of course I have to buy it. After all, I am doing you a favor."

Yuan Quan: "No need to buy gifts. You don't know what he likes. Just treat him to a meal."

Hu Jing: "Hey, aren't you the best gift yourself? When you win over Lin Xuan and become the wife of the King of Heaven, don't forget your good sisters."

Zeng Li scolded Hu Jing and decided to adopt Yuan Quan's plan.

The next day, she came to Lin Xuan's studio.

After signing the contract in the conference room, Zeng Li mustered up the courage to speak:

"Thank you, Director Lin, I will definitely perform well."

"You're welcome. I know your acting skills and are very suitable for this role."

"Um...are you free tonight? I would like to treat you to dinner to express my gratitude."

"Sorry, I have a dinner party tonight."

"Oh, let's wait until the next opportunity comes."

"OK Bye Bye."

After leaving the studio, Zeng Li let out a depressed breath.

It's really embarrassing to invite someone but be rejected.

It's all their fault for making bad ideas!
After returning home, Zeng Li called and angrily scolded those bad friends.

Zhang Tong: "I already said I would give you a gift directly. The great director is so busy, how can he have time to have dinner with you?"

Yuan Quan: "Don't mind. Since he doesn't have time, let's wait until he has the opportunity in the future."

Hu Jing: "The place is wrong. You have to invite him to your house to cook for him. If he doesn't come, I will write the Chinese characters upside down."

Zeng Li: "Director Lin Xuan is not this kind of person."

Hu Jing: "Tsk, which director in the industry is clean? Even if he is a gentleman, he can't stop an actress from taking the initiative."

Zeng Li: "At least he is not interested in either of us. When we were filming "The Best in the World", he didn't even say a few words to us."

Hu Jing: "Hey, I'm talking about you, you're trying to undermine me. That's because I didn't take action. If I took the initiative, he would definitely fall."

Zeng Li: "Okay, then I'll ask Director Lin to see if the crew has any suitable roles for you."

Hu Jing: "No, I don't have time. I have accepted five dramas this year. When I get the chance next time, I will let you see what I am capable of."

Zeng Li: "Tch, I know you only talk."

…………

Lin Xuan refused Zeng Li's invitation because Zhang Jizhong had something to discuss with him.

The two made an appointment to meet at the club. When Zhang Jizhong saw him, he immediately complained.

"The audition you held in China Drama took away the popularity of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"."

Lin Xuan will not take the blame.

"I'm not trying to steal your popularity. Your repeated hype will make the audience tired after watching it for a long time, and it can easily arouse resentment."

No one likes the feeling of being walked around.

Some media have already begun to criticize him for over-hyping.

"One trick is used everywhere, as long as it works."

"You've been hyping it up for a long time, when will the auditions start?"

"Next month, when your popularity wears off, I'll stir it up again."

Lin Xuan shook his head helplessly: "Has the male lead been decided yet?"

"Not yet. But Huayi is the largest investor, so the male lead must be someone from Huayi. As for the female lead."

Zhang Jizhong chuckled.

Both he and Lin Xuan took advantage of Chen Jinfei, so the heroine must be Liu Yifei's.

"As for Yang Guo, what do you think of Yan Kuan?"

"Is he the one who bought out your contract? His height and appearance are quite suitable. But..."

Lin Xuan interrupted him: "It's okay to say no, as long as you think it's appropriate."

Hearing this, Zhang Jizhong became anxious.

"Director Lin, you have decided on Xiao Longnu, Yang Guo must leave it to me."

"What do you mean I've chosen the heroine? You think I'm a fool. You don't have any shares in Hongxingwu, right?"

"This... you..."

Zhang Jizhong was speechless.

Lin Xuan's tone softened: "Lao Zhang, I'm about to join the crew for filming, so I don't have time to argue with you.

I only want Yang Guo and Guo Xiang, and there are so many characters left, enough for you to eat. "

Zhang Jizhong smiled bitterly and said: "There are only so many characters in a drama that can fill people's hearts. You can take two of them at once."

Lao Zhang is not a fool. Some roles can be sold for profit, while some roles require talented actors.

Not to mention him as a senior producer, even capital knows how to use old actors to lead new ones.

If a show is full of rookie actors pecking each other, no one will benefit in the end.

"Forget it, Yang Guo will give it to you! Guo Xiang will give it to you too!"

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Jizhong was forced to agree.

Although Lin Xuan's shareholding ratio is not as high as that of Huayi, everyone here knows it.

Only with his golden brand as an endorsement can this drama be a big hit, so his request must be implemented.

"Also, I heard that you are planning to let Yang Guo get tanned. Is this true?"

"Yes, isn't this the popular thing now?"

Aesthetics are always changing.

I don’t know since when, tanning has also become popular in the entertainment industry.

What wheat-colored skin, bronze skin.

The media also began to follow suit and report that an overseas celebrity sunbathed and showed off "healthy" skin.

Lin Xuan sneered at such claims and refused invitations from many friends to do tanning sessions.

"What you're filming is a TV series, not a fashion blockbuster. Besides, what's so good about being so tanned?"

Zhang Jizhong retorted: "Gu Tianle also tanned his face, isn't he handsome?"

"So handsome, he was white when he was filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"!"

"he she……"

The two of them argued for a while in the box, but no one else dared to interrupt.

Zhang Jizhong couldn't defeat him and bowed his head unconvinced.

But Lin Xuan was still worried about him.

When "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" starts filming, he will ask people from the studio to join the set and keep an eye on it.

Zhang Jizhong from the provincial government took advantage of his absence to cause trouble.
