This star’s style is wrong

During the casting process for the drama "You Know, It Should Be Green, Fat, Red, and Thin", Fang Xing was very strict about his acting skills.

Not only the leading actors, but several elder roles are also extremely demanding.

In particular, the heroine's grandmother, the "Old Lady of the Sheng Family," needs an experienced artist with superb acting skills to play the role.

There is also the heroine's aunt "Wang Ruofu", who also needs very pleasing acting skills.

The selection of these important roles is even more difficult than the selection of the male and female protagonists.

If Fang Xing wasn't familiar with actors from the National Theater, casting for these roles would have been really difficult.

Fang Xing actually already had a target for the role of "Old Lady of the Sheng Family" and planned to find Zheng Zhihua, who had previously collaborated with "Nirvana in Fire", to play the role.

However, it also depends on whether Zheng Zhihua is willing to take this role.

Fang Xing approached the director of the National Theater and asked him to take him to visit teacher Zheng Zhihua at her home and hand the script into her hands.

Since they had collaborated before and Fang Xing came to visit her at home in person, Zheng Zhihua was very happy and promised to read the script as soon as possible and give her a reply as soon as possible.

Zheng Zhihua is old and it is inconvenient to wear reading glasses to read the script.

Therefore, she actually rarely takes roles anymore.

However, if an acquaintance comes looking for her, she will still ask her granddaughter to come over and read the script to her.

A week passed.

Fang Xingcai received a call from Zheng Zhihua's granddaughter, saying that her grandma had agreed to take on the drama.

After deciding on the candidate for "Old Lady of the Sheng Family", the subsequent casting will be much simpler.

…

Because some of the roles have been preliminarily determined to be played by Ark Culture’s own artists, and some are actors who have collaborated with them.

Fang Xing has basically worked with these actors, so he knows their acting skills well.

However, the audition still needs to be carried out to ensure that there are no problems before the film contract can be signed.

As expected, these actors are basically cast, and the auditions are basically just a formality.

Fang Xing spent a day concentrating on auditioning these actors, and then asked the company's legal department to discuss the film contract.

Next.

The large-scale auditions for "Do you know, it should be green, fat, red and thin" have officially begun.

As before, rent a venue outside the film and television base and arrange auditions.

Some of the actors who were invited to audition were still filming in the crew. The venue was arranged outside the film and television base, which would be much more convenient.

The actors invited to audition have all screened their resumes in advance.

Fang Xing only got the screened resume the day before, took a cursory look at it, and officially started the audition.

nine in the morning.

The audition venue was set up, and Fang Xing sat behind the desk and continued to look through his resume.

This time, Fang Xing did not sit in the middle, but sat next to the long table.

Because the directors of this drama are Zhang Yigao and Wang Yutao, and Fang Xing is the producer. Although they have a higher say, they still want to give them more autonomy.

When inviting actors to audition, they all agree on a rough time, come according to the time, and then audition in order.

In order to facilitate auditions, when making appointments, the casting director will try to gather the actors auditioning for the same role in one time period as much as possible.

The role of the audition in the morning was "Wang Ruofu", the aunt of the Sheng family, so the actresses who came in were all in their thirties or forties.

The first actress to audition was also an old acquaintance of Fang Xing.

Liu Minxiu walked into the audition room and said hello: "Hello directors, I am Liu Minxiu."

After saying that, she blinked at Fang Xing.

Fang Xing quickly joked: "Hello, Sister Mingjing."

Liu Minxiu is the actor who played the eldest sister "Ming Jing" when they collaborated with "The Pretender" before.

Fang Xing played her brother in "The Pretender".

Therefore, the two of them have a good relationship. When they meet at events, they both like to joke with each other.

Liu Minxiu waved her hands and said with a smile: "Today is an audition, so you have to be serious."

When filming The Pretender, Zhang Yigao and Wang Yutao were both assistant directors, so the people in this room were all old friends.

Fang Xing thought about it and asked, "Sister, have you read the audition script?"

Actors invited to audition are provided with a few pages of scripts that highlight the character's personality, so that the actor can get a feel for the role.

Liu Minxiu nodded and replied: "I've seen it, let's talk about it. How to act?"

Fang Xing rubbed his chin and said, "But Sister Ming Jing is too intellectual and smart. Is it okay to play a straight-faced character who is a bit silly?"

In fact, when Fang Xing saw Liu Minxiu's resume, he felt that she did not fit the image of "Wang Ruofu".

Of course, the image can be adjusted through makeup.

Liu Minxiu was very relaxed and said, "Let's try it first."

Fang Xing nodded, turned out a page of the script and handed it over, saying: "Okay, you try this scene. When asked to scold Lin Sushuang, you're a bitch, the audience was very relieved to hear it. To that extent.”

"Wang Ruofu" is the aunt of the Sheng family. She looks very strong, comes from a famous family, and is relatively kind-hearted.

Before getting married, "Wang Ruofu" was pampered, so he didn't have much money, he was a straight man, and he didn't know how to capture a man's heart, so he fought with his concubine "Lin Sushuang" for more than ten years and was always at a disadvantage.

Generally speaking, the image of this character is a bit silly, with a tough appearance, and he is justified in scolding his husband for spoiling his concubine and destroying his wife, but he always falls into the trap.

When playing such a character, one must have a sense of stupidity, but it must also be stupid enough that the audience likes it. Especially when calling the vicious female supporting role a "bitch", it must be so satisfying that the audience feels relieved.

There is no problem with Liu Minxiu's acting skills, but her screen image is that of a smart and capable "Sister Ming Jing". It is more difficult to transform into a somewhat naive "Wang Ruofu".

Liu Minxiu read the script, gave it a try, pointed at the wall and cursed: "Lin Sushuang, you bitch!"

Scolding is fun, but the problem is...

After Fang Xing read it, she always felt that she could go up and tear "Lin Sushuang" apart.

No way, Liu Minxiu is still suitable for playing the role of being smart, capable, fierce and courageous.

After the audition, Fang Xing thought about it and said, "Sister is still too smart and capable."

After hearing this, Liu Minxiu joked: "Really, it's wrong to be smart."

"How can eldest sister make mistakes? It's all my fault." Fang Xing quickly laughed.

"Okay, next time there is a smart and capable role, be sure to leave it to me." Liu Minxiu joked and left the audition room.

Next, several more actresses were auditioned.

Some are more than silly, but lack acting skills.

Some of the acting skills are okay, but the image doesn't fit.

In some cases, the understanding of the character is too different from what Fang Xing wants.

After auditioning six actors, it was already half past eleven.

Fang Xing asked: "How many are left?"

The casting director looked through the remaining resumes and replied, "There are three left."

"After the audition, let's arrange to have lunch." Fang Xing said.

The staff went out to call the next actor to audition.

Soon, the seventh actress walked in. She was thirty-seven or eighteen years old, without makeup, and she could tell a little bit about her age.

When an actress reaches this age, even if she takes good care of herself, she will still leave traces of time.

"Hello directors, my name is Liu Ling." He sent his resume to every director.

Fang Xing took a look at his resume and saw that he had acted in many TV series, but they were basically supporting roles.

Among his past works, he has written more than a dozen TV series.

"Very rich performance experience." Fang Xing gave the first comment.

"Yes, I have acted in a lot of movies, but they were all minor supporting roles." Liu Ling nodded, showing a rather silly smile.

Fang Xing raised his eyebrows when he saw her smile. He didn't know whether she showed it deliberately after trying to figure out the character's personality, or whether she was smiling like this from the beginning.

Since I was curious, I asked directly:

"Do you usually laugh like this? Or have you already fallen into a drama?"

Liu Ling nodded quickly and replied: "I smiled specifically according to the character's condition. I would usually be more casual."

Fang Xing nodded and said, "This smile is quite in line with the character's personality. Since you have already entered the role, you should know what kind of role you are auditioning for.

"The actors who auditioned today basically played this scene."

Fang Xing said, handed over a page of the script, and said: "The requirements are the same. When you scold 'bitch', you must feel comfortable scolding, and you must scold the audience in a way that relieves their anger. You must not make the audience feel that the character is very annoying. Likeable.”

Liu Ling took the script, read it quickly, then nodded and said, "I'm ready."

"Then let's get started." Fang Xing nodded.

Liu Ling began to act according to the script, pointed at an assistant director, opened her mouth and cursed: "Lin Sushuang, you bitch!"

The assistant director was scolded and was stunned.

After Liu Ling finished scolding, she quickly apologized: "The director is sorry, not to you."

Even the way he apologized seemed a bit silly.

He is very tough when he scolds.

Fang Xing raised his eyebrows and said, "It's okay, let's do it one more time. Your husband is going to clean up the concubine room, and you are very proud, feeling that you finally have a chance to succeed. Give it a try."

Liu Ling smacked her palms and said excitedly: "Lin Sushuang, you also have today."

Fang Xing was very satisfied with her condition. He thought for a moment and then said, "You learned that your daughter has an affair with a poor man."

Liu Ling fell back and lamented: "Oh my God."

Fang Xing discussed it with Zhang Yigao and Wang Yutao. They all had the same opinion and felt that the audition was very effective.

However, there are still two actors who haven’t auditioned yet.

After all the actors have auditioned, they have to go back and watch the audition videos again before making a final decision.

After the discussion, Fang Xing praised: "The performance is very good. We will have the results within three days. Thank you for the audition."

"Thank you, director." After hearing this, Liu Ling expressed her gratitude and exited the audition room.

She could tell from Fang Xing's attitude that this audition had a good chance.

Of course, whether you can get the role in the end depends on the auditions of other actors, as well as comprehensive factors such as schedule and salary.

From audition to signing for a role, there are many processes to go through.

It’s rare that an audition is decided on the spot.

…

After a day of auditions.

After Zhang Yigao returned, he was responsible for re-watching the audition video, and then finally selected the role candidate.

Just like the feeling at the audition, Zhang Yigao finally chose Liu Ling. The feeling of the audition was indeed very consistent with the role of "Wang Ruofu" in the script.

After Liu Ling is finalized, the company's legal department will be responsible for the signing of the contract.

The casting and audition lasted for half a month, and the roles were finalized one after another.

Lin Yingxue's audition results were also good, and the heroine "Sheng Minglan" was finally chosen.

An Xiaoran settled on "Sheng Rulan".

Fang Xing assigned Guo Shilai to play the role of the heroine's father.

Since "Crazy Stone" became popular, Guo Shi's popularity has skyrocketed.

If it weren't for Fang Xing's drama, the salary would definitely be over 10 million.

However, Guo Shi took the initiative to ask for a friendly price.

After the casting was completed, the schedule was finalized, and filming officially began.

On the first day of filming, Fang Xing spent the whole day staring at the set.

After watching it, I am very satisfied with the directing work of Zhang Yigao and Wang Yutao.

Zhang Yigao's dramas have been hits three times in a row. Although they are all scripts given by Fang Xing, his ability to make the dramas a hit shows that there is no problem with the director's skills.

So the first day of shooting went smoothly.

After confirming that there were no problems with the two people directing, Fang Xing could let them go and shoot. He only needed to take a look at the footage every once in a while.

…

After the summer vacation, all major colleges and universities have started school.

After Zhong Keke reported back to school, she ran home and asked Fang Xing to do an internship at Ark Culture.

In the blink of an eye, Zhong Keke was already going to be a senior in college.

The senior year is an important turning point for college students.

On-campus recruitment for many large companies starts in the first half of the senior year.

Therefore, if you want to find a good job, it is best to do it in the first half of your senior year.

Zhong Keke begged to go to Ark Culture for an internship.

If his cousin made such a request, Fang Xing would definitely agree to it, and he would directly arrange a management trainee position for her.

However, Fang Xing also agreed in advance that the internship would only give her a chance to adapt to the workplace and she would not be hired after the internship.

Of course, if Zhong Keke has thought about her career plan, Fang Xing will definitely help, but he does not agree with her to join Ark Culture as soon as she graduates.

Letting her hang around would not help her, but harm her.

It's September.

It is relatively close to the Jinhua Awards, one of the three major film award ceremonies.

Before the National Day.

The Jinhua Awards announced the 43rd nomination list.

As soon as the nomination list came out, "Crazy Stone" was on the list.

Since "Crazy Stone" just won the summer box office championship and is now on the nomination list for the Jinhua Awards, related topics quickly became hot searches.

The summer season has ended, and the release date of "Crazy Stone" has been extended by one month, so it will be released for a total of two months.

Now that it has been released, the final box office is set at 2.43 billion.

After "Crazy Stone" was released from theaters, it was immediately released online.

When it was released online, the crew held a promotional event, and there was no need to continue promoting it after that.

This time "Crazy Stone" received multiple nominations for the Jinhua Awards, became a hot search, and brought a wave of popularity to the online release, and many more viewers watched the movie online.

As more and more viewers have watched "Crazy Stone", the malicious negative reviews from some black fans have been diluted, making the movie's reputation better and better.

Now "Crazy Stone" has been nominated for the Jinhua Award, one of the three major film award ceremonies, which has given the film recognition from a professional perspective.

The topic on Weibo has aroused discussions among many netizens:

[Sure enough, Fang Xing started again. After finishing the TV drama awards, he started to ruin the movie awards. 】

[After watching this movie, I felt that this movie must be nominated. Whether or not you win an award is another matter, but a nomination is definitely required. 】

[Actually, as long as you read the reviews of film critics with a background in drama, you will know that this movie is of a very high standard, it is normal to be nominated, and it may even win one or two awards. 】

[It’s over. This guy has even been nominated for a movie, and you still want him to go back to filming TV series? 】(End of this chapter)
