Chapter 41 Casting, My Sister Is So Itchy
Chapter 40 Casting, My Sister Is So Itchy
Another week has passed.
Beijing Yunhong Hotel.
The final auditions for supporting roles in the drama "Someday or One Day" have begun.
After initial screening of five or six hundred resumes, the production team selected more than 100 candidates with relatively good qualifications to audition.
There are a total of 21 supporting characters, and for each character there are about 5 other people competing for the role.
Don't be surprised, the film and television market is just that cruel now. In many cases, your resume is sent out and it's like throwing a stone into the sea. You don't hear back at all, and you don't even get an interview. Lin Zixuan has experienced this firsthand.
With Lin Zixuan in the cast of "Someday or One Day," his classmates and alumni, anyone who submits a resume will have no problem getting an audition.
But that's it for now. Whether they can land roles depends on their audition performances.
However, a sensational event occurred in their class this week.
Zhou Muyin was chosen by Ju Jueliang, the director of the action blockbuster "Huo Yuanjia," to play the female lead.
This is a big-budget TV series with an investment of over 2000 million yuan. The male lead has been confirmed to be Ekin Cheng, a rising star in Hong Kong, and even the second male lead has been confirmed to be Jordan Chan.
The role of the female lead in such a big-budget TV series is an incredibly coveted opportunity. As soon as the news was announced, the entire school was in an uproar, and it must have aroused envy and jealousy among countless female students.
It is said that the director was able to choose Zhou Muyin as the female lead thanks to the music video "Autumn Never Returns".
He saw the MV for "Autumn Never Returns" online and felt that Zhou Muyin's image was very similar to Zhao Qiannan in the drama, which led him to visit the Beijing Film Academy for on-site inspection and finally make the decision.
After getting the role, Zhou Muyin didn't forget Lin Zixuan. She called him to invite him to dinner and even hinted that she wanted to get back together with him.
Lin Zixuan dared not agree and declined, citing her busy work schedule on set.
Let alone the fact that he can't possibly be thinking about relationships right now, besides, Xu Qing is resting in the capital during this period, so he doesn't have any free time at night.
He now works like a white-collar worker, driving to Yunhong Hotel every morning to participate in the film crew's preparations, and returning to ******** in the evening to cultivate while cuddling with a fragrant older sister.
With the support of his older sister's popularity, his cultivation speed was incredibly fast, and he lived a very comfortable life, enjoying double the happiness every day.
However, Zhou Muyin's selection by the "Huo Yuanjia" production team also had one advantage for him: he didn't have to consider helping her get a role in the "Someday or One Day" production team.
Otherwise, if both Zhou Muyin and Lu Chen were to take on the role, the pressure would be too great.
The judging panel for the audition consisted of director Liu Junjie, executive producer Zhou Haopeng, screenwriter and lead actor Lin Zixuan, assistant director Li Xiaofeng, and vice director.
Zhang Guoli has essentially handed over the production work to executive producer Zhou Haopeng.
He has devoted all his energy to the preparation of "The New Legend of Ji Gong".
For him, "Someday or One Day" was just a low-budget drama that the company used to explore urban dramas, and he didn't have high expectations for it at all.
"The New Legend of Ji Gong" is different. It's a big IP with an investment of 2000 million yuan. More importantly, it carries the heavy responsibility of promoting his own son.
It took three whole days to audition more than 100 people.
Lin Zixuan helped Lu Chen secure the role of Cai Wenrou, a villainous character with a significant amount of screen time.
Besides Lu Chen, he also helped his roommate Li Dongxue, who shared a dorm room with him during his freshman and sophomore years, land the role of the second male lead, Mo Junjie.
He couldn't help the other students.
In fact, Lu Chen and Li Dongxue were able to land the roles not only because of his help, but more importantly because they were indeed suitable for the roles and their audition performances were also good.
However, only 20 out of 21 supporting roles were cast, and one of the female lead's best friend, Kumbu, was not cast during the audition process.
The role of Kumbu is very important, and he is responsible for enlivening the atmosphere of the show. He is required to be between 22 and 28 years old, slightly chubby, with a lively and cheerful personality, and his behavior and actions should be humorous.
Such actresses specializing in this type of role are indeed hard to find. There were very few people who applied for the role, and the production team didn't screen almost any of them. Only four people participated in the audition.
Unfortunately, they were either not fat enough, or their appearance wasn't funny, or they weren't funny at all; none of them met the requirements.
During the discussion, director Liu Junjie even consulted with Lin Zixuan about whether to revise the character's description and related plot.
Lin Zixuan, after all, possessed memories of the future, and he carefully recalled in his mind who could play this role well.
To be honest, it really reminded him of someone: Jia Lin, a female artist who achieved a comeback in later generations.
With her looks and comedic talent, playing the role of Kumbu should be a piece of cake for her.
I remember she graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, majoring in crosstalk performance. I wonder what she's doing now.
But it doesn't matter, as long as you're in this circle, finding someone is still very easy.
"Director, don't rush. I remember a few years ago, there was a young girl named Jia Lin who won the first prize in the Beijing Crosstalk Competition. She has great potential as a female comedian. I think she graduated from the crosstalk performance major at the Central Academy of Drama."
"Brother Zhou, could you ask a friend to find out how to contact Jia Lin? We'll invite her to give it a try."
Zhou Haopeng said no problem, then made a few calls and quickly got Jia Lin's phone number.
At this time, Jia Lin was in a low point in her career, although she won the first prize in the first BJ Crosstalk Competition in 2003 with her crosstalk work "What's Wrong".
However, the crosstalk industry is entirely dominated by men, and because of her female identity, she couldn't get any opportunities to perform crosstalk.
She had no choice but to take odd jobs, such as part-time host, scriptwriter, and temporary artist assistant, to make a living, as well as with the help of her sister, Jia Dan.
When she received a call from Zhou Haopeng, saying that the crew of "Someday or One Day" had invited her to audition for a role, she felt like she had been struck by lightning.
"I'm free. I'll be there on time tomorrow morning. Teacher, this is my email address. Could you please send me the script? Thank you."
After hanging up the phone, she still couldn't quite believe it until she received the script for the role in her email, which confirmed that it was real.
After reading the script for the role, she was immediately filled with confidence, feeling that the role was tailor-made for her and that every characteristic and requirement of the role perfectly matched her.
However, she did not let her guard down. She began to study the character and wholeheartedly prepared for tomorrow's audition, including the character's personality, habits, and behavior patterns.
The next day, she went to Yunhong Hotel, did a simple audition, and won the role with the unanimous approval of the four judges. Her salary was 15,000 yuan.
At this point, all the roles were finalized.
At 7 p.m., Lin Zixuan had just finished dinner with the crew and returned to his room when he received a message from Lu Chen on his QQ phone. It was a very revealing private photo with the caption, "Brother Zixuan, your sister is so itchy."
Lu Chen officially signed a contract with the production team today and officially got the role. His salary is 1 yuan. Overjoyed, he naturally wanted to celebrate with Lin Zixuan.
Xu Qing just finished her vacation the day before yesterday. In fact, as a top-tier female celebrity, she is really busy with work.
She had previously said she would be taking a 10-day vacation in Beijing, but in reality, she spent 5 of those 10 days shooting magazine covers, doing photoshoots, and running around for business events. Fortunately, she was able to get home earlier than Lin Zixuan every afternoon.
Two days ago, she reluctantly said goodbye to Lin Zixuan and went to Shanghai to film GG for two days. Then she was going to fly to Qingdao to film the TV series "The Game Within a Game".
As the older sister left, Lin Zixuan checked the panel in his sea of consciousness:
Name: Lin Zixuan Age: 21 (123)
人气：114272
Cultivation level: 29/100 (Qi Refining)
Target 1, Popularity: 7256751
With the help of his older sister, his cultivation level rose rapidly and he was about to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining.
After her older sister left Beijing, Lin Zixuan moved back into the Yunhong Hotel.
Upon receiving such an enticing message from Lu Chen, she was also aroused and replied, "Little vixen, stay home and get clean and wait for me."
