Chapter 73 Audition and Casting
He once admired Yan Danchen's beauty on the set of "Lotus Lantern".
The photo on the resume in front of me is no less impressive than Yan Danchen's appearance as Chang'e. This is a daily life photo, and her temperament is even better.
In terms of acting skills, China National Drama has endorsed her, and her classmates are all talented. However, in terms of reputation, she seems a bit weak, and she is too Buddhist.
Put this resume out separately and write four words on it with a pen to audition for the female lead.
Lin Nan then looked down.
Maybe you can send a paper version of your resume, not only because of your good attitude, but also because of your confidence in your own abilities.
Resumes in emails are generally worse than those on paper. Lin Nan was reading them at the same time.
In view of Lin Nan's casting requirements, many of the actresses on her resume are seniors from several previous classes at the three major universities.
If it's an audition, there's a good chance they're all acquaintances.
There are also a lot of resumes for male actors, but one was assigned to Zhu Yawen, so there are only two left. In addition, the role of a taxi driver is not very important, so I won't look for it here because there are not many scenes.
"Isn't "Baby Project" also at that time?"
"Baby Project" almost always has the male lead.
Most of the people in the group have a good relationship and will chat with her from time to time. A small number of people are very career-minded and rarely appear here. Her classmates are also distant from her.
"Since there is an invitation, then grab it. Although the director is young, he has achieved great results and is still the best Silver Bear director. You two should cherish it. There are not many good resources."
In a class group of about ten people, someone posted something.
Tian Yu's joy could be seen as he took the document bag with both hands and said thank you several times before going out.
Several times in a row, Lin Nan was a little dissatisfied. Some people seemed to be filming on the crew, and during the audition, they had the smell of other dramas.
Gao Yuanyuan handed the document bag to her agent, "Let me familiarize myself with the complete script first. It must be kept confidential."
Seeing the laughter and laughter in the group, she was a little unwilling and a little disdainful. She couldn't integrate into the classmates like Hu Jing and the others. She sometimes felt like she was isolated by the class, but this was her choice and she had no regrets.
"Gao Yuanyuan?"
"Yes, Mr. Wang."
"Ah, thank you, Director Lin."
The more Lin Nan thought about it, the more it seemed appropriate. He and the candidate he had just selected to audition for the female lead were friends and classmates in real life.
"Yuanyuan, how are you?"
"Then isn't the competition out there fierce?"
Maybe the actor wants to audition for a different role, but that doesn't hinder Lin Nan's subjective considerations.
Lin Nan took out a resume again, this time it said: Audition for the third female role.
"Director Lin, are you in the company?"
An avatar of a real old lady pops up.
Lin Nan's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw a person. He also came from the Chinese Opera and is currently a drama actor.
"Yes, just come to the company. The audition will be over before the 18th. I have something else to do later."
By about four o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Nan took out more than thirty resumes.
There were not many people in the audition, so Lin Nan felt that she could handle it all by herself.
"I, did I succeed in the audition? We decided on the spot?"
"Minghao, are you talking about Lin Nan's movie?" a female avatar posted.
"Take back a copy of the complete script. During this time, you can sort out the plot and try to make it as perfect as possible after starting the production. Please keep the script confidential and sign the contract in two days."
"I'm kind of looking forward to you two joining the same crew, haha."
The first person to come was Gao Yuanyuan. Her slightly plump figure matched this floral dress. She wore light makeup and had fair skin and beautiful looks. She felt very natural to Lin Nan.
Lin Nan first flipped through the paper resume, and then looked at the one in the email. He seemed a little absent-minded. Maybe it was preconceptions. The person on the paper resume was indeed better.
"The agent said he wanted me to give it a try, but I didn't expect that I actually received an audition!"
This is a problem, it's impossible not to give me a chance to audition.
During the filming of "Baby Project", she joined the cast late, and the early stages were mainly about scenes with a few men.
Suddenly the avatar of a female opera character appeared, "Minghao, let's go together when the time comes, remember to call me."
The fact that they didn't get any affirmation showed the result. They just saw Gao Yuanyuan going out with a document bag.
There is also someone who rarely speaks, not because she is focused on her career, but because she really doesn’t want to speak out, but her popularity is indeed very good.
There are so many branches in the company, and sometimes resources are hard to divide. Hua Yi also wants to use "The Night Banquet" to win over Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Xun.
Pick out this resume and put it together with the one just now.
The agent reacted instantly, "It's done?"
Tian Yu couldn't believe that he was not asked to go back and wait for notification like before.
"Why are you talking to our Dalizi?"
"How was the audition?"
"Although the starring role focuses on female roles, since it is a movie, there will definitely be a male lead. Minghao, you have to work hard!" the female avatar encouraged her friend.
I don't know why, Lin Nan always wants to laugh when she sees him, but you have to admit his acting skills, he has been involved in dramas for many years.
"It must be so. I've been casting there recently. I have a schedule, so I might as well give it a try." Someone else added.
If you do not receive an audition invitation, you will also be notified by email.
"Here!"
Tsing Yi's avatar popped up again, "I didn't expect that I would actually receive an invitation."
The Chinese drama picked out another familiar face, it was just that Lin Nan looked familiar to him.
Lin Nan asked.
Downstairs in the company, Gao Yuanyuan's agent asked.
Lin Nan had a headache because all the candidates he liked were from next door, so the college would have to nag him.
Here are a few who are fanning the flames.
When Gao Yuanyuan heard Lin Nan's words, she obviously felt that there was something interesting about it. She read the profile of the role of the third female character, and found that she had the least screen time among the six, and none of them had boarded the cruise ship.
Lin Nan got a pass to enter the competition site for the Olympic chief director, and he would only be allowed in with this thing.
After saying that, Lin Nan got off work first and left the company.
…
Lin Nan hesitated for a while, then took the two people out.
The two of them got in the car and left. Several cars nearby were filled with people who were going to audition. They didn't want to be embarrassed by meeting acquaintances above, so they had to wait below.
Some succeed and some fail.
After a while, the company became noisy.
…
Fortunately, when he saw Yan Danchen, Lin Nan took it out without saying a word.
"It's about to start, I plan to finish it in one round." Lin Nan replied.
"If I give you the role of the third female lead, are you sure you can make it in time?"
"Only they received the invitation?"
Gao Yuanyuan was overjoyed and very excited, "Thank you, Director Lin, I will not let you down."
Lin Nan put on a smile and was no longer serious as in the audition.
"Okay, Director Lin."
The next day, Lin Nan met Tian Yu, a thirty-year-old who was rated 95 in Chinese dramas.
…
…
"When you come to the company for an interview, won't you be able to see a lot of celebrities?"
Lin Nan understood what Gao Yuanyuan meant.
Lin Nan's company sent out audition invitations, and some media got confirmation from a few artists who received the invitations.
"No problem." Lin Nan adjusted his mood.
"Teacher, teach him, he is teasing you."
"Then you have to be careful, although commercial films don't require high acting skills."
The group instantly became lively.
Others may not know it, but he knows that Gao Yuanyuan is on the casting list for this movie, and it has already been decided.
"Director Lin."
"Director Lin knows that in Jackie Chan's movies, the female characters are basically supporting roles and there is no such thing as a heroine. Of course, this time "The Myth" is an exception."
"You actually have time to chat today. Are you typing pretty fast?"
"The second male lead, this role is very crucial. He and the first male lead, let's call it the male lead. They are young. There is a wife in the script, who is the second female lead. Brother Tian should go back and read the complete script as soon as possible."
"These people can notify them to come over and audition."
Lin Nan read faster. Although he declined Hua Yi's dinner, the resumes of the two ice soldiers were not absent.
"Um."
Lin Nan has to stay in the company these days. There are more than 30 people in the company, and the time is sufficient, just seven or eight a day.
Zhang Ziyi is preparing for "The Night Banquet". Her Hollywood career has been going very smoothly in the past two years. In three months, "Geisha" will be released in North America and other places. She is a proper heroine.
Lin Nan thought for a moment.
"Haha, it's settled. Remember to keep the script confidential. I'll notify you to sign the contract in two days."
"That's good."
"Jingjing, you are making fun of me again!"
A group of people immediately surrounded the administration.
"Who is he?"
"Haha, does our double actor have a loud voice?" the female avatar joked.
The manager was waiting outside. Gao Yuanyuan's audition went well. Although she didn't come from a major, her acting skills were better than those of many academics.
"Haha, of course."
Lin Nan planned this drama for a month and finished it in less than two months. Filming will start after Golden Rooster, so she can handle it in terms of time.
The cost of 40 million is the highest production budget Lin Nan has ever handled so far, and it is also a high-priority project in China.
The people in the company watched Gao Yuanyuan come out of the reception room with a happy expression on her face and a document bag in her hand.
"The last time I saw you talking was the last time."
Twenty-six-year-old Gao Yuanyuan's career is on the rise, with several TV series adding to her success, especially after she won an award for "Green Red" at the beginning of the year.
Lin Nan handed over a document bag.
"Don't worry about this. I won't be able to find anyone with connections. Even if I do, it won't be parallel imports."
Including the film type and production cost, they were also announced.
"It seems he graduated from Chinese Opera, I remember."
Lin Nan doesn't like the style of Zhang Dabeard, who has to hype up his audition for a long time.
The role of the heroine's friend is the most important male role. Zhu Yawen is not suitable. He is too young and cannot grasp it.
"Oh my God, you are actually alive?"
"Director Lin, do you have any questions?"
Watching Tian Yu leave, someone in the company asked.
"Can."
"Yeah yeah!"
"Well, no wonder people say that the actors in Chinese dramas are good, Yishui has a resume in dramas."
"It should be suitable!"
"Look at who's resume is there?"
"Then let them go. "The Night Banquet" was not selected, so it depends on whether Lin Nan has a chance."
…
Tian Yu was a little confused. There shouldn't be any big problems with his performance just now. He also deliberately avoided the performance style of a drama. If he could study the script more, he would definitely perform better.
"The first one was successful?"
This is what actors without fame are like. Maybe you work hard and are talented, but you have to have a chance to show yourself. Many drama actors are really only known by people in their own small circle.
