Chapter 643: Casting for "Kung Fu"

After a variety show of a certain type becomes popular, there will definitely be various follow-up works.

For example, after the variety show of love variety show was first introduced in China, a series of variety shows of the same type emerged, and even now there are various derivative variety shows every year.

After all, on the one hand, it can bring exposure to celebrities or whitewash some celebrities who have stains, and on the other hand, it is really making money.

If "The Voice of China" is really good, Qingniao Entertainment will definitely follow suit.

On the other side, in Shanghai, outside the audition office of the "Kung Fu" crew.

There are already dozens of people standing in the corridor outside the office, almost filling up the entire corridor.

During the preparation period of "Kung Fu", the real name of the movie was not announced to the public.

Xu Ye said before that he wanted to make a movie related to Kung Fu, and the name of the movie turned out to be "Kung Fu".

If the name is released in advance, there will always be all kinds of troubles.

Xu Ye does not want these troubles to affect the progress of the filming of the movie, and will deal with them together when the name of the movie is released.

So Xu Ye gave "Kung Fu" a nickname, called "The Adventures of Little Mixers"

The entire crew used this name when preparing.

This name discouraged some actors who wanted to participate.

If other directors gave such a name, everyone would think it was just a temporary name, but if Xu Ye gave such a name, everyone would think it was real.

Those actors with heavy idol burdens gave up participating, which would not sound good if it was said out.

Xu Ye didn't care if these people didn't come.

He didn't need actors with heavy idol burdens in his movies.

During this period, his energy was all on selecting actors for "Kung Fu".

Every role with lines was selected by him for audition.

There are too many characters in the movie "Kung Fu".

This movie is a group portrait, especially the residents in Pig Cage Village, each of them has their own characteristics.

Xu Ye has already finalized some actors, but there are still a few missing.

These actors in the corridor are all actors waiting for auditions.

Gu Xingze, one of the new generation of actors, is 28 years old and signed to a small entertainment company.

Gu Xingze has a fair face. He thinks he is very handsome. The reason why he has not become popular is that his company cannot give him big resources.

Gu Xingze is not his real name, but his stage name. His real name is not nice.

Gu Xingze stood in the corridor, fanning himself with his resume, and looked at other actors around him with a hint of disdain.

He has participated in many movies and TV series so far, and has also played the leading role in a web drama.

Unfortunately, he still did not become popular.

After seeing that the movie "Justice, Official" won more than 3 billion box office, Gu Xingze made up his mind that he must play a role in Xu Ye's new movie, and it would be best if he could sign a contract with Xu Ye's studio.

Gu Xingze immediately submitted his resume to Xu Ye's crew and successfully got the opportunity to audition.

All this was within Gu Xingze's expectations.

He is not a new actor, but an experienced old man in the circle. Can he still play a supporting role in a movie?

Before coming, Gu Xingze also made full preparations.

First, he learned about Xu Ye. He had scolded Xu Ye in private before.

After all, Xu Ye is young, and his singing and acting skills are okay. After the release of "One-Armed Swordsman", Xu Ye's fighting scene completely refreshed the audience's view of Xu Ye.

Gu Xingze, a young actor, was compared by the audience.

At that time, Gu Xingze felt that his status was higher than Xu Ye, and he was very dissatisfied.

But now he can only pinch his nose and admit it.

"Xu Ye is a comedy director and a very humorous person in life, so I want to show my humorous talent."

Gu Xingze also watched a lot of jokes before coming.

He doesn't know what humor is, he only knows how to pose handsomely in front of the camera.

But in his opinion, nonsensical performances are not difficult.

Those ordinary people on the short video platform can act, so why can't he, who graduated from a professional school, act?

In addition, because this movie is about Kung Fu, Gu Xingze also searched for a set of boxing techniques on the Internet and practiced them specifically, so that he could perform them for Xu Ye during the audition and show his Kung Fu talent.

With double preparation, plus his rich experience and millions of fans on Weibo, Gu Xingze felt that he would be selected 100%.

He looked around at the people in the corridor and felt more relieved.

No one who came to audition today was as handsome as him.

There was even a man standing next to him with dull eyes and a look that had nothing to do with the word handsome.

The appearance of this man looked a bit like an extra.

"Is there no need to audition for this image? Not necessarily, what if there is a special demand for the image." Gu Xingze thought to himself.

At this time, the man seemed to notice his gaze and took the initiative to grin and smile at him.

Then he walked towards him.

The man showed a somewhat honest smile, but he seemed to have no good control over the muscles on his face, which made his smile very stiff when he smiled.

"Hello, my name is Huang Huihuang." The man said.

Gu Xingze smiled awkwardly and said, "My name is Gu Xingze."

He didn't really want to talk to Huang Huihuang, but since he was approaching, it would be awkward to just stand there and not talk.

Gu Xingze asked casually, "Which company are you from?"

Huang Huihuang said seriously, "Hongyuan Electronic Technology."

Gu Xingze was stunned for a moment. He couldn't think of any company with this name in the entertainment industry.

No, this is an electronics factory, right?

Gu Xingze was confused.

He thought that those who could come here had acting experience or were artists from entertainment companies. How come people from the electronics factory came?

Gu Xingze immediately put Huang Huihuang in the category of uncompetitive opponents.

Driven by curiosity, he asked, "What do you do in the company?"

Huang Huihuang said seriously, "I'm an assembly line worker."

Gu Xingze understood immediately, and he didn't want to continue chatting.

"Xu Ye is still too young. When screening resumes, such people should not be allowed in. Auditioning is a waste of time."

Just as he was thinking, a staff member came out and shouted: "Huang Huihuang and Gu Xingze come in."

Gu Xingze's face was delighted, and he quickly straightened his collar.

If he went in with Huang Huihuang, he would have a better chance.

This person is completely uncompetitive, and only highlights his professionalism.

Gu Xingze ignored Huang Huihuang and walked towards the office.

Huang Huihuang followed closely behind.

When Huang Huihuang walked into the room, many actors in the corridor also discussed.

"Who is this Huang Huihuang?"

"Oh no, why is Gu Xingze here too? Does he have to compete with us for a spot?"

"If nothing else, Huang Huihuang looks pretty funny, maybe he can play a role."

"Even if he can play a role, he can't compare to Gu Xingze."

The actors here obviously know Gu Xingze.

In the office.

Xu Ye sat with the casting director, and He Shuhong also sat next to him.

He Shuhong had nothing to do recently, and was simply pulled over by Xu Ye to help.

He Shuhong naturally did his duty and helped Xu Ye a lot in the preparatory work.

When Gu Xingze came in, he saw Xu Ye and He Shuhong sitting in the main seat.

He walked up to the two directors and bowed, saying, "Hello, Director Xu, Hello, Director He, my name is Gu Xingze, I am an artist of Pinxian Entertainment, and I have participated in..."

Gu Xingze introduced himself, and then added, "Director He, we met at the Jingcheng University Film Festival."

He wanted to continue, but found that He Shuhong had no reaction at all.

So he changed the subject and said, "Director Xu, I like your songs very much."

Xu Ye said calmly, "Really? I don't believe it."

Gu Xingze was immediately embarrassed.

If you are not a buddy, how can I respond to your words!

He was a little bit overwhelmed.

At this time, Huang Huihuang also stood beside him.

Huang Huihuang's face had almost no expression, and he felt like he had facial paralysis.

Xu Ye's eyes lit up when he saw Huang Huihuang.

He liked this image very much, it was a bit like a soy sauce.

"Huang Huihuang, introduce yourself."

Huang Huihuang said seriously: "My name is Huang Huihuang, I am a worker on the assembly line of Hongyuan Electronic Technology Company. I performed the dance Swan Lake at the company's annual meeting and sang the song Compendium of Materia Medica in the Rolling Stone KTV room. I am a worker on the surface, but I am actually a musician."

When Huang Huihuang said these words, his tone was almost without any ups and downs, and there was no emotion.

Gu Xingze almost laughed when he listened to this self-introduction.

What the hell is performing the dance Swan Lake at the annual meeting?

What the hell is singing in the KTV room?

What's there to say about this!

What do you mean by saying you are a musician at the end?

What music do you have?

Gu Xingze felt that this was just like there was really nothing to write on the resume, and he wrote that he had distributed flyers.

After hearing Huang Huihuang's introduction, He Shuhong's eyes immediately moved over.

He looked at Xu Ye again.

Not to mention, this self-introduction just now really has the flavor of Xu Ye.

But looking at Huang Huihuang's expression, it doesn't look like he's acting.

Xu Ye asked, "Are you really a musician?"

Huang Huihuang said seriously, "I think I am. I have songs I recorded in my phone. Do you want to listen to them?"

"No, thank you." Xu Ye said.

Gu Xingze has already noticed something is wrong.

It's bad. All his attention is attracted by Huang Huihuang.

Fortunately, Xu Ye took two pieces of paper from the table at this time.

"The paper contains the content you are going to perform. You have three minutes to prepare. Gu Xingze has experience, so you go first. Huang Huihuang will be the second."

Gu Xingze took the paper and saw that it was a short play with lines and actions, but not much.

On the one hand, he had to remember the lines, and on the other hand, he had to perform.

"It's my professional field."

Gu Xingze began to read it carefully.

After three minutes, Xu Ye stood up and said, "Director He and I will act with you."

Gu Xingze immediately smiled and said, "Director Xu, please."

Xu Ye walked to the open space in the middle of the room, then bent down and bent his body at 90 degrees.

Gu Xingze looked at the script in his hand and asked in confusion, "Director Xu, what role are you playing?"

Xu Ye's voice came out.

"I'm playing the faucet."
