Chapter 251 Actor Candidates

When Zhao Wanqing saw Lu Pengfei behave like this, she admired him very much. With such a thoughtful assistant director in charge of Xiao Yunhai's crew affairs, Zhao Wanqing was very relieved.

After Lu Pengfei left the receipt, he left.

Zhao Wanqing said: "Your assistant director seems to have a good character and ability."

Xiao Yunhai said proudly: "Of course, you don't even look at who got it."

Zhao Wanqing rolled her eyes and said, "You don't have to be complacent. People are right. Without rules, a circle cannot be formed. When you get to the crew, you must take good care of your money bags. Don't take money seriously like you usually do. Filming requires careful planning. Yes. Also, it's time to change your careless temperament."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know more about the crew than you."

"Come on. You've only filmed a few movies, do you have more than me?" Zhao Wanqing sneered.

"If you count my filming career in my previous life, even ten of you can't compare to me." Xiao Yunhai thought.

Thinking of the experience of working hard in the entertainment industry in his previous life, Xiao Yunhai unknowingly became a little stunned.

Zhao Wanqing saw that Xiao Yunhai suddenly stopped talking, thinking that her tone had hurt him, so she asked cautiously: "What? I'm really angry? The Xiao Yunhai I know is not such a small-bellied person. "

"Ah? What... what did you just say?" Xiao Yunhai came back to his senses when he heard Zhao Wanqing's words, and asked repeatedly.

Only then did Zhao Wanqing know that Xiao Yunhai was distracted, so she said angrily, "It's nothing, I'm going to cook."

Seeing Zhao Wanqing rushing towards the kitchen, Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "Woman, it's inexplicable."

The next day, Xiao Yunhai welcomed several guests to his villa.

The actor Wang Guoan, the actress Zhang Hong, the actress Yu Yuexian, the operator Li Yonggang and the makeup artist Zhou Yun all came here together.

Xiao Yunhai naturally warmly welcomed their arrival.

After everyone was seated, Wang Guoan took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "You and Wanqing's filming of 'Boo Bu Jing Xin' is no good now. The highest ratings of 17% made this drama locked in 1999 ahead of schedule. The champion of the Yangtze River is really pushing the waves from the back of the Yangtze River. I think we old people should also retire."

Zhang Hong nodded,

Dao: "Anyway, I watch this drama every day. I have to say, in addition to the good plot, the performance of you young people is remarkable. Especially you and Wanqing, your acting skills are definitely top-notch actors. Standard. Maybe the two of you will be the best actor and actress at the Jinzun TV Drama Awards in the second half of the year."

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "Two teachers, don't say that. Look, I'm blushing because of your praise."

Yu Yuexian snorted and said disdainfully, "On your face, when you still blush, unless the sun comes out from the west."

"Hahaha."

Everyone laughed out loud at Yu Yuexian's words.

Xiao Yunhai sighed and said, "Sister Yu, you really hurt my self-esteem by saying that."

At this time, Zhao Wanqing brought out a fruit plate containing melon seeds and dried fruits, and said with a smile, "You still have self-esteem, I heard it all fresh."

"Oh, ah, ah... My glass heart is about to be shattered by what you two said." Xiao Yunhai clutched his chest and pretended to shout.

There was another burst of laughter in the hall.

After the joke was over, Xiao Yunhai turned to the topic and said, "Mr. Wang just said that 'Boo Bu Jing Xin' has locked in this year's ratings champion. I don't agree with this statement. Because in the second half of the year, we will also have a movie Excellent works will be broadcast on TV, and that is "The Legend of Zhen Huan". If "Jingxin" wants to win the championship, we must see if it agrees."

"Well said." Wang Guoan clapped his hands and said.

Others also agreed.

Xiao Yunhai continued: "The preparations for "The Legend of Zhen Huan" have already begun. Deputy director Lv Pengfei will go to Hengdian Film and Television City this afternoon to prepare for the crew in advance. Sister Zhou, how are our costumes?"

Zhou Yundao: "I have already arranged it. We can rent the clothes of the palace maids and eunuchs from Hengdian. As for the clothes of the emperor, queen, and concubines, I have already hired a special person to make them according to your requirements. It's just expensive. It's scary, but the effect is very good."

Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Money is not a problem. Since we want to film, we shouldn't be afraid to spend money. If 600 million is not enough, then 700 million. As long as it is for the quality of the show, I will accept it. Teacher Li , do you have a problem there?"

Li Yonggang said: "I have no problem here. Just when will the high-definition camera you mentioned come?"

Zhao Wanqing smiled and said, "Teacher Li can rest assured. My dad has already rented it from the United States, and it is estimated that it will take less than three days to see it."

Li Yonggang patted his thigh and said, "That's great."

As a handheld, it is undoubtedly a very exciting thing to be able to use the camera that claims to be the highest resolution in the world today.

In order to capture the best picture, Xiao Yunhai did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to rent the latest epic camera developed by the United States.

The pictures taken with this camera are first-class in terms of clarity, color and image quality, and the body is light and relatively easy to operate.

Xiao Yunhai said: "Since Sister Zhou and Teacher Li have no problem, then we need to discuss the issue of actors now."

"Among the main actors, there are eunuch director Su Peisheng, Hua Fei, An Lingrong, Shen Meizhuang and others. These roles have the most rivalries with you, so their acting skills must pass the test. We can discuss and see which actors in the circle are competent for this role. How many characters?"

Wang Guoan nodded and said, "I can recommend someone to play Su Peisheng. With his acting skills, he can definitely perform brilliantly."

Xiao Yunhai asked in surprise, "Which teacher did Mr. Wang say?"

Wang Guoan said with a smile, "Yao Wenyuan, your tutor."

"what?"

Looking at Xiao Yunhai's surprised expression, Wang Guoan continued: "In terms of age, your teacher is about the same age as Su Peisheng; in terms of acting, he once won the Golden Zun Award for Best Supporting Actor; in terms of relationship, your teacher and apprentice are still talking about Is it? It's estimated that he will come over with a phone call."

Zhang Hong nodded and said, "I think it's good. Lao Yao has retired for so many years, it's time to come out and breathe."

Xiao Yunhai thought for a while and said, "Well, I'll go over tonight and invite him to play Su Peisheng."

Wang Guoan smiled and said, "Let's go together then. I haven't seen him for a long time."

Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "That's great, I'm really afraid that I won't be able to invite him by myself. Concubine Hua, An Lingrong, and Shen Meizhuang, do you think there are suitable candidates? If not, I will I can only go to those film and television companies to audition."

Yu Yuexian thought for a while and said, "I know someone here who can definitely play the role of Concubine Hua. It's just that she...hey, forget it, let's not talk about her."

Looking at Yu Yuexian's expression of hesitating to speak, everyone's curiosity was suddenly raised.

Zhao Wanqing smiled and said: "Sister Yu, who is it that makes you so embarrassed. You can talk about it with everyone."

Zhang Hong also said: "Yes, say it and listen."

Yu Yuexian sighed and said, "This person is my best friend and also graduated from the Yanjing Film Academy. He is one level younger than me, and his acting skills are very good. He was nominated for the Golden Bottle Award for Best Actress just two years after graduation. She was smug, and when she was about to attack the big screen, she was suddenly exposed by the media to have many scandals about her, about her disorderly life, disrespecting her seniors, sleeping with others for the sake of superiors, etc. Even rumors of her drug use were spread in the circle. Although the public security department later found out that this rumor was untrue, her reputation has been ruined, and her popularity has fallen to the bottom. Hongda Entertainment directly issued a ban on him, so she can only make a living by singing in bars. "

"Hongda Entertainment?"

"Yes, it's Hongda Entertainment. As a newcomer, she signed a ten-year contract with Hongda. It's a pity that these things happened just after she became the heroine."

Wang Guoan said, "Did you mean Zhang Xinyi?"

Yu Yuexian nodded and said, "That's right, it's her."

Xiao Yunhai asked, "Are all her scandals true?"

Yu Yuexian said decisively: "Absolutely not true. I am too familiar with her, she is the kind of very conservative girl who speaks and does things well, how could she do such a thing? I once wanted to help her and let her She stood up and made things clear, but she just shed tears and said nothing. But I can see the grief and anger in her heart from the look in her eyes. I believe she must have been wronged."

Zhang Hong nodded and said, "I used to film with her. Although I didn't contact her for a long time, I could see that she was a very good and good girl. After her incident was exposed, I was still very surprised. I thought I saw the wrong person. Now listening to Yuexian say this, could it be that there is something else hidden in the matter?"

Yu Yuexian said: "The entertainment industry is insane, anything can happen. I suspect that there is a shadow of Hongda Entertainment in it, because after the incident, they not only failed to clarify the truth for their actors, but also blocked her with some non-existent things. , I think there must be a problem here. And Xinyi must have something to hide, which caused her to refuse to say anything. "

Xiao Yunhai said, "A ten-year contract? How old is she now?"

Yu Yuexian said: "Last year just ended. Yunhai, I know this is very difficult for you. First, her reputation is not good, which will bring some negative effects to the crew; I completely offended Hongda. That's why I hesitated, not knowing whether I should recommend her."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "Hongda Entertainment and I have always been enemies, they want to tear me to pieces, but they can't get my hands on it, so it doesn't matter to me if I don't offend it. Reputation, huh, are there still fewer famous entertainers in the entertainment industry? Isn't she still doing the same thing? Besides, she is still from our film academy. If she can help, she still has to help. But , whether she can get this important role depends on her own acting skills."

"I'm going to hold an audition for "The Legend of Zhen Huan" at Fenghua Hotel in three days. Sister Yu can give her a call and ask her to try it."

When Yu Yuexian heard this, she said happily, "That's great, I'll let her know."

Xiao Yunhai said, "Teachers, are there other roles that are suitable?"

Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Xiao Yunhai said, "Then let's wait until the audition for the rest of the roles. Then, Teacher Wang, Teacher Zhang, Sister Yu, Wanqing, the five of us will be guest examiners. One, acting must pass the test."

"no problem."

After discussing some details, everyone went to the hotel to have a meal together.

In the evening, Xiao Yunhai and Wang Guo'an went to Yao Wenyuan's house together. "

At ten o'clock at night, Zhang Xinyi dragged her tired body back to her rented hut.

This is a basement of only 20 square meters. The layout is very simple. There is only one bed and one desk. On the desk are more than a dozen books on performance.

As a former star, Zhang Xinyi's current life is no different from before, but she has not given up and still holds her dream firmly in her arms. She is convinced that one day she will return to that circle and be more successful than before.

Therefore, she reads professional books for at least two hours every day, plays various roles in front of the mirror, and the basic skills of actors are compulsory courses every morning.

It is a pity that her efforts have not been rewarded. After finally breaking away from Hongda's control last year, Zhang Xinyi participated in many auditions for film and television dramas.

With her outstanding appearance and superb acting skills, she has won the approval of most directors, but when they knew that she was the target of Hongda's ban, they just swept her out of the house like avoiding a flood of beasts.

At that moment, she felt that her persistence for several years was so stupid. The entertainment industry has always been a vanity fair. How can anyone offend such a giant for such a small artist.

It is even more impossible for her to submit to Hongda Entertainment.

However, she knew that she could not last in this state for a long time. After all, she is thirty-one years old this year, and there is not much time for her to splurge.

Thinking of this, she secretly made a decision: "If there is still no improvement this year, just go back to your hometown and never step into this circle again."

Just then, her cell phone rang suddenly. When he opened it, he saw that it was his best friend Yu Yuexian.

Zhang Xinyi is very grateful to Yuexian, her fellow senior sister. If it weren't for the selfless help of the other party for so many years, I would not be able to persist now.

"Sister Yu, why are you calling me so late?"
