Chapter 329 Humanity and Sophistication
Other roles were easy to finalize. For the role of the father, Gilbert Jr. adopted Tang Jili’s suggestion and chose Wu Mengda, a prime supporting actor from Hong Kong Island.

The overall style and situation of "The Adventures of Cheng Long" is a humorous action-adventure comedy movie, and Wu Mengda's acting style is very suitable for it.

Moreover, a role like Dad must be played by such a golden supporting role.

As for Tohru, Valon and other other roles, just slowly find suitable actors through auditions. There is still plenty of time for the project.

When choosing actors in China, you have to find a local helper.

Little Gilbert thought for a while and called his old friend Tian Chongming and asked him for help.

Tian Chongming was surprised: "You want to select actors in China? What kind of film will you shoot?"

Little Gilbert briefly introduced "The Adventures of Cheng Long" and then said: "The actors we selected this time are relatively young, about ten to fourteen years old.

At the same time, we may choose a few supporting roles. I think you are very familiar with Chinese actors, so maybe you can give us a suitable list. "

Tian Chongming had already thought about how shocked the outside world would be when the news was announced.

In this era where you can become an international superstar by just walking on a certain red carpet abroad, starring directly in a Hollywood blockbuster with an investment of over 100 million US dollars is a huge opportunity.

You can already imagine how many people had to go through a lot of trouble trying to get this opportunity.

This is indeed the case. When I heard that a major Hollywood director was casting for a new film, the entire Chinese film industry was shocked. This is a great opportunity!

If you can get the recognition of little Gilbert and become the protagonist of a Hollywood movie, this will simply fly to the pinnacle of life.

Tian Chongming released the requirements for relevant roles through China Film and Television, and the most eye-catching one is undoubtedly the role of Xiaoyu. But what disappoints many already famous stars is that this role belongs to children.

But other roles are also good. One of them, the role of a female thief named Little Snake, has been competed by countless female stars in the industry.

"Why aren't there opportunities for us male actors?" someone asked.

Another person interrupted the idiot's question: "Don't you know? This role has already been decided by Brother Cheng Long. Do you want to compete with him for the leading role?"

"Well, that's not true, but at least there can be other roles for us to play!"

"Don't be dissatisfied. This is a Hollywood movie. It's already amazing to have a Chinese actor as the protagonist. We should stay true to our country and don't aim too high."

Putting aside these unrealistic fantasies, maybe only by being down-to-earth can you achieve success.

However, once you win a role like Xiaoyu Xiaoshen, it means becoming famous overnight. Even if you can't survive in Hollywood, you will be a superstar when you return to China.

As a result, the threshold for the person in charge of auditions in China was kicked down, and all kinds of people with connections came up every day, just to seek an opportunity to audition.

What transactions, favors, and exchanges of interests are involved are unknown to outsiders.

Just for the chance to audition, it is worth fighting among the people in the industry.

After all, little Gilbert doesn't know much about the star actors in the Chinese film and television industry. Who can enter the final audition process is not decided by the person responsible for the initial screening.

"The person you said is called Little Gilbert is true. An audition was held, and it caused an uproar and spread throughout the industry.

Two days ago, someone gave Lao Kuang a painting by Qi Baishi. I asked for the role and wanted to win it, but Lao Kuang rejected it. "

A still-charming woman led a teenage girl into a conversation with a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man thought it was normal: "It's normal to give gifts and so on, and I won't care about it, as long as I find the right actor. But for an audition like this, it's the Americans who make the decision, and it doesn't matter what Lao Kuang says."

If Lao Kuang could interfere in the choice of a major Hollywood director, why would he still be staying here?
I'm afraid that he just received the gift before, but if things don't work out later, he will become a prisoner, which is risky. "

The still charming woman agreed: "You are right, then can you use your relationship to make our Sissi directly become the heroine?"

The middle-aged man frowned and said: "Do you think I am the big boss in the United States? Even if I am, they won't listen to me. Don't try to take shortcuts, just audition honestly!"

"Okay then," the woman was a little disappointed and turned to her daughter: "Sissi, you must be well prepared for the audition. Mom supports you."

Sissi's little head nodded hard: "Don't worry, Mom, I will try my best."

Not only Sissi's family, but also many child actors and actresses are preparing for the upcoming auditions. Small power, comfortable, even many young actors born in the 1990s were included in the audition candidates.

Lao Kuang, who was in charge of this matter, did not dare to make the decision on his own. He had no right to decide the role at all.

What's ridiculous is that some idiots think he can interfere with the choices of major Hollywood directors. He's not a domestic director, so he doesn't look down on him at all.

At most, Lao Kuang just decides who can participate in the audition and get this opportunity.

This is a huge opportunity for actors.

Sometimes what actors lack is an opportunity. If you are not qualified to audition, let alone get a role.

As for the role of Little Snake, many famous actresses are competing for it. The overt and covert fights between them are enough to write a drama about palace fighting.

After International Chapter came back, he made full use of his advantages and got the opportunity to audition for this role.

She didn't take a shortcut to find little Gilbert, because she knew it would be useless and little Gilbert would not agree. So she had no choice but to attend the audition honestly, hoping that her performance in the audition would impress people.

However, she has an advantage, that is, she knows better than other actors what kind of story "The Adventures of Cheng Long" is, and can better find her own acting style.

Other actresses, such as the Three Golden Flowers and the Four Little Actresses, have already entered the audition process. It can be imagined that this must be an intense audition.

However, the audition is still far away. Depending on the time and arrangement, people from Hollywood will probably come for the final audition at the end of the year.

This means that everyone still has half a year to prepare for the film.

And those actresses with a martial arts background undoubtedly have some advantages. Actresses who have no martial arts foundation have begun to seek training from masters.

Such an opportunity is worth their huge efforts.

Little Gilbert didn't know that his decision would cause turmoil in the Chinese film and television industry, but he could probably imagine the scene.

I don’t know how many people paid what price for this opportunity.

But little Gilbert is not a philanthropist and does not care about this issue. And they are all voluntary, they make their own choices and bear the consequences. They do not deserve sympathy.

Lao Tian quickly provided Little Gilbert with an audition list. Several of the names Little Gilbert named were already on the audition list, and he was very satisfied.

In fact, according to Little Gilbert's idea, if a series of movies is to be made, the candidate for Xiaoyu should be as young as possible, preferably around ten years old.

In this way, two or three series of movies can be made while the girl grows up, and then Xiaoyu will also grow up.
