The king of all people

Chapter 77 Movie Auditions
Guangzhou is a coastal provincial capital city located in the south of China. It is known as the City of Flowers and the City of Yangzhou.Due to his full work schedule, it was not until the morning of the audition on February 2 that Li Xian arrived at the designated casting building as if he was belatedly.

In a hurry, he pushed open the hall door panting. Li Xian was really startled by the scene in front of him.

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a sea of ​​people.

In a room of about 100 square meters, the seats for rest are filled with a large number of "beautiful men and beauties", without exception, holding the script in their hands, reciting lines silently, like a group of people who were punished for some reason. The flowers of the motherland that I thought about on the wall outside the classroom.

Li Xian's arrival caused a short-term commotion in the hall, but soon they returned to their original state of doing their own things.It's not that they didn't recognize Li Xian. His highly recognizable face has been active on TV for more than a month, and it's hard to know him or not.

On the contrary, this is the audition preparation room for the movie "Shaolin Soccer". Li Xian's presence here means that he will become rivals with the group of them and compete for the role in the movie together.The faces of some beaming people darkened, and they gave Li Xian a bad look, then continued to browse the script in their hands.

To be honest, this is the first time for Li Xian to meet such a spectacular casting battle. Except for most of the unfamiliar faces, some people Li Xian even met on various filming sets and on TV before his rebirth, belong to the small well-known ten. Eighth-line starlet, the competition of this audition can be imagined.

Too many people, no seats available.Li Xian didn't bother others unwisely, and found a gap behind the team to review the materials he had prepared.

"You...are you Brother Xiaoyao in "Legend of Sword and Fairy"?" The bespectacled boy standing behind Li Xian suddenly approached him, looking shy, and asked Li Xian tentatively.

It feels good to be recognized, Li Xian nodded and returned a kind smile.During the conversation, the eye-eyed boy told Li Xian that he is a freshman at BJ Film Academy and has a good acting talent. In just half a year, he has choreographed many large and small dramas in the academy, and this time "Shaolin Soccer" is the first time he has actively signed up for it. It is also his first-hand experience of the huge competitive pressure in the society outside the campus...

"You still have plenty of time. A film is full of variables before the filming starts. Try to present yourself perfectly during the audition and leave a good impression on the judges. Maybe you will stand out." Li Xian once had the same mentality as this young man with glasses. These encouraging words are not only to rekindle his fighting spirit, but also to remind himself not to forget the original intention.

At this time, a lot of people lined up behind the two of them one after another, and the people in front of them had basically passed the audition and left the hall dejectedly. Most of them "Go back first, the staff will be on time when there is news." notify."

"No. 63, Li Xian, please come in." The loudspeaker in the hall sounded, and finally it was Li Xian's turn, who had been waiting for nearly an hour.Secretly working harder for himself, Li Xian walked into the selection room eagerly.

There are three people sitting side by side in the room, and the one in the center is Zhou Xingchi, a superstar who is well-known in the Chinese-speaking world. Compared with him in 2014, who was gray and slightly aged, the current Xingchi is in a vigorous and vigorous period.It's just that Zhou Xingchi outside the play seems to have become another person, without a hippie smile, replaced by a serious and solemn demeanor.Sitting next to him are not ordinary people, they are the nonsensical big brother Wu Mengda known as the "golden supporting role" and the chubby brother Lin Zicong with full of image comedy effects.

Both of them are the queen team members of Stephen Chow's film team. They have worked hard in the film industry for many years and have mixed their own unique personalities. His sixth junior brother, a "martial arts master" who once mastered the skill of floating on water.Both characters are important supporting roles in the play.

In 2001, apart from Lin Zicong, who was under [-], Stephen Chow was in his forties, and Wu Mengda was in his fifties. Over the years, they have been dedicated to the Chinese film industry, and they have always stayed at the forefront of the film industry. Introducing the old and bringing forth the new, creating one wonderful movie after another for the audience.This kind of professionalism that regards acting as a lifelong partner alone is worthy of Li Xian's respect from the bottom of his heart.

"My name is Li Xian. The character who came to the audition today is a big brother who has acquired the skill of "Whirlwind Digging Legs". I have met three seniors." After meeting the three master-level judges, Li Xian has the feeling of witnessing idols in his heart. Excited, but more of it is the invisible condensed pressure.

"Well, I know you. I have watched the TV series "Legend of Sword and Fairy" which is currently on the air in mainland China. This is the reason why I invited you to audition." Seeing that the actor who came in was Li Xian, Stephen Chow took it off The white frame on the bridge of the nose said to Li Xian without changing expression.

"I'm sure you already know that "Shaolin Soccer" is a new movie I'm working on this year, and I'm going to do my best in every aspect...You did a good job in that TV show, but I always insist on using facts The principle of speaking, if you really have enough strength, this audition will not be an obstacle to our cooperation." Zhou Xingchi is a Hong Kong actor, and his accent is also mixed with Cantonese accents, which sounds a bit awkward.

Zhou Xingchi's ability to support people can be described as one of the best in the entertainment circle. There used to be many young girls who starred in his movies and became popular, and were called "star girls" by the media. Therefore, whenever he has a new movie to start filming, there will be a lot of newcomers. A large number of new actors of all kinds squeezed their heads, and they also wanted to fight for a chance to show their faces.

This has intensified the crew's screening efforts when selecting characters. It is true that Li is now performing very well in "Legend of Sword and Fairy", but out of the principle of fairness and justice, Zhou Xingchi still did not make a special trip to open a back door for him. He wanted to know , Is this spiritual young man worthy of his appreciation?

"Senior Zhou, I know, I am a complete newcomer in the field of film. I cherish this opportunity to run for the role in "Shaolin Soccer". I will try my best to present what I have prepared. I hope the seniors can give some pointers." Li Xian said sincerely.He never had the idea of ​​going through the back door, and besides, he still had a certain degree of confidence in his own strength.

The three people in front of him are all mentors with rich qualifications and rich acting experience. Li Xian will not fight in front of them, but there is no need to deliberately lower his posture and flatter the three. What belongs to him belongs to him, not his own. Even if you pray humbly, you will not get it in the end, on the contrary, it will arouse the other party's disgust even more.

"Haha! If you can recognize yourself modestly, it's no wonder Master Xing is optimistic about you! I think you are in good shape, so you must have been exercising a lot on weekdays, right? Well built, maybe you will grow into a new generation of action star!" Xiao Fat brother Lin Zicong suddenly laughed heartily, although at first he was a little dissatisfied that Li Xian also made himself a senior, and abruptly called him in his 20s old...

Thinking about it carefully, this famous actor not only did not claim to be extraordinary, but was able to accurately identify his own position, and he felt a sense of praise for him.As long as he performs well in the audition later, the show-stealing role in the play must be a sure thing.
