Chapter 55

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Xiao Jian set off for the capital. Xiao Xiao, the chief financial officer, had to go to the company to handle a large amount of bills in January, so he went with him. Liu Wenben could stay at home for a few more days, but she used the excuse of going together. Dian fart Dian followed.Xiao Jian originally wanted his mother, Li Yue'e, to live in the capital, but she refused on the grounds that she was not used to going to other places.

This time Xiao Jian directly rented a car to go to the airport in the provincial capital, saving the three of them from being crowded due to Spring Festival travel.

After returning to the capital to rest for a while, Xiao Jian started the intense work of selecting young actors.Choose the right role from hundreds of resumes for young actors.Because the interviewees are all elementary and middle school students who want to go to school, Xiao Jian must determine the actors before the start of school, so as not to delay their class and not necessarily be selected.

After two days of careful selection, Xiao Jian selected 34 young actors to come to the capital to audition. The interview time was set on February 2th (the twelfth day of the first lunar month), and he thoughtfully reimbursed the return fare (train ticket).

The next few days passed quickly in Xiao Jian's writing and drawing, and the time soon came to the audition day of the young actors on February 2th.

Xiao Jian did not go to other places to audition the young actors, and directly cleaned out two empty studios next to the Xinwei Space Culture Company.One is used as a lounge for young actors and their parents, and the other has a desk and a DV player as an interview room.

There is another person I have to say, and that is Li Yonghao.Xiao Jian just casually mentioned to him that he wanted to make a movie, and Li Yonghao said that he would give up the great cause of the group leader and come to help.

How could Xiao Jian let him do this? After all, he doesn’t know how to make a movie. If the film is paid off, Xiao Jian will have more resistance to start shooting again. Delay him?

But Li Yonghao was determined to come to help and brought his wife Huang Suqing to the capital.With such a brother who fully supports him, what else can Xiao Jian say?After helping the couple rent a house, they directly pulled Li Yonghao into the crew.

what job?Producer!
The young actors didn't recognize Xiao Jian when they first saw him.Because the current Xiao Jian is not as fat as in the previous video, he looks very handsome in his early 170 catties.

"Hello everyone, I'm Xiao Jian, and I'm also the Sword of Clouds, and I will also be the director of some of your classmates."

After Xiao Jian introduced himself, the young actors exclaimed "so handsome", and the brave ones came to ask for a group photo, and other young actors followed suit.

Xiao Jian smiled and took a group photo with each child, and then took them to visit Xinwei Space Culture Company.When they knew that their favorite "Longteng" was released by such a small and crude company, they couldn't help sighing, "Is this true, is it true?".

"Students, don't underestimate our Xinwei Space Culture Company. Although it is small, the novel "Longteng" released by him ranked first in the best-selling list of domestic novels in January. It is your favorite "Harry" It can't compare to it, and this is something that many big companies can't do." Xiao Jian said with a smile.

"Wow, this company is amazing." All the students sighed.

"That's Brother Yunxiao, okay? If it wasn't for Brother Yunxiao's writing, this crappy company wouldn't be sold?" said the pretty little girl from Northeast China whose internet name is Keyer and whose real name is Zheng Min.

"What nonsense is Xiao Shuang talking about?" Zheng's mother scolded.

"That's right, Brother Yunxiao, did I say something wrong?"

Mother Zheng looked at Xiao Jian helplessly and apologetically, Xiao Jian smiled at her and said it was okay.To be honest, Xiao Jian never thought that the early fans in his book friend group would be a pretty little girl. After all, few girls read science fiction novels, and she was still such a junior high school student.

"Of course Brother Yunxiao is also great, but Brother Yunxiao is also a member of the company, so I always say that the company is the best."

The children nodded thoughtfully.

Xiao Jian clapped his hands and said, "Okay, the audition will start now, please parents take the students to the lounge to rest."

The reason why I have to communicate with the young actors first is because they are not formal actors and they are young. I am afraid that they will miss the opportunity because of nervousness and affect their own performance. Xiao Jian does not want to miss the opportunity to get better actors .

Not having professional actors does not mean that Xiao Jian has given up on the acting requirements of young actors. After all, he is shooting a literary film, and a performance without acting skills cannot support a literary film.But he is confident that he can teach the old and the old and the old and the old with rigid thinking very well, but he doesn't believe that the elementary and middle school students who are cleaner than pure water can't teach well.

The interview was just beginning. Xiao Jian and Li Yonghao sat behind the desk and waited for the actors to come in. The first audition was a boy. Xiao Jian saw that he was a little nervous and smiled kindly: "Don't be nervous, let me introduce myself first."

"Hi director, my name is Yu Jie, I'm 15 years old and I'm from Sichuan province, and the role I'm interviewing for is the leading actor."

Xiao Jian quickly decided that this handsome young boy was not suitable for the leading role.Instead of letting Yu Jie talk about the understanding of the characters that he himself hates, he directly asks the topic for Yu Jie to perform.

"Make a sad face."

Yu Jie thought for a while, then frowned and narrowed his eyes, his handsome face turned into a bitter face, very artificial and deliberate.

Xiao Jiandao: "You don't need to show it deliberately, you just think about something that is usually sad."

Yu Jie's tense mood was relieved by Xiao Jian's intentional adjustment. He closed his eyes and thought about the things that made him sad. After a few minutes, he opened his eyes and said, "Director, I'm ready."

Xiao Jian raised the DV and said, "Start."

This time it was really much more natural than before, but the expression was a little angry, not the melancholy one Xiao Jian wanted.Next, Xiao Jian asked him to demonstrate his happy and angry expressions, and said, "Okay, Yu Jie, you can go out now."

It's that simple?Yu Jie thought he was not selected, and asked sadly: "Director, have I been eliminated?"

Xiao Jian explained: "You performed very well. As for the outcome, I will have to wait until all the actors have finished their interviews before I can tell you. Just wait for the news."

Li Yonghao, who had been sitting next to Xiao Jian without making a sound, asked after seeing Yu Jie walk out of the office: "That's the end of the test? Don't you want to perform a part?"

Xiao Jian shook his head and said: "They all have no acting experience, and they are definitely not good at acting. The actors I am looking for now only need to match the image of the characters in my mind. As for the actors selected for acting, I will set aside a period of time to teach them. "

Li Yonghao smiled and said: "In the future, you will be tired."

Xiao Jian smiled and did not answer.

For the young actors who auditioned next, Xiao Jian only asked them to perform sad, happy, excited, and disgusted expressions, and only those who were satisfied would let them perform more simple content.

Although the content of the audition is relatively simple, it is not fast, because Xiao Jian carefully observes the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of the young actors. Some young actors are too nervous to do well, Xiao Jian will comfort them to do it again , until he shows his true level.

PS: I made a slip of the tongue, I originally posted it early, but it was noon.
