Chapter 517: Weng, Lan, There Are Even Stars(1/2)
Xu Damao got up early today, which is definitely a rare thing in the Xu family.
Because he received a call from Mr. Shao yesterday, saying that the preliminary casting for The Legend of Heroes has been completed.
The rest is for him to personally select the characters that fit his own ideas from among these people.
The casting location this time was set at the Jiayi TV headquarters, mainly because Xu Damao didn't want to go to unfamiliar territory.
You have the final say on what you want on your own territory. The casting selection in the morning was from male one to male ten.
Xu Damao saw that there were both employees of his company and passers-by wandering on the street.
But most of them are students in the training classes of Jiayi and TVB. To say that the stars are shining is not an exaggeration at all.
Xu Damao didn't look directly at these people at all. He first took a thick piece of information.
Seeing as there was a lot of selection, the role of Guo Jing should be left to the original Xiao Huang.
After all, the honesty and honesty in his face is natural, even though he is from TVB.
Yang Kang was the nominal second male lead, and Xu Damao found Xiao Miao's information. There was no question that he was one of his own.
We have two male protagonists, Guo Jing and Yang Kang, and then there are Dongxie, Xidu, Nandi, Beibei, and Old Naughty Boy.
Jiangnan Seven Monsters, Quanzhen Seven Sons, Ouyang Ke, Qiu Qianzhang, Lu Guanying, Temujin, Wanyan Honglie, Tuo Lei, etc.
Xu Damao tried his best to find these impressive characters from the original works.
Of course, some characters who don't suit his wishes will be eliminated.
For example, all the original Seven Monsters of Jiangnan have been replaced except for the blind man Ke Zhen'e and the Yue swordsman Han Xiaoying.
Especially the clever scholar, it is simply the biggest slander against the word scholar.
Qiu Chuji, one of the Quanzhen Seven Sons, has no arrogant image at all and must be replaced.
The four original people who were fishermen, woodcutters, and farmers did not have the temperament of an official or a first-class official, so they also had to be replaced.
Wu Mengda, who originally played Elder Peng in the Beggar Clan, could play any one of the four of them.
When Xu Damao saw Little Star, he actually signed up. He was originally playing a soldier who died in public.
This open recruitment can be regarded as giving him a chance.
He has just graduated and signed up for the role of Lu Guanying. He probably just wanted to try his luck.
But Lu Guanying is a rather rigid person, so it always feels weird to have a little star play the role.
You must not ruin the future king of comedy just because of an inconspicuous role.
Xu Damao thought of this and asked someone to call him in.
"Mr. Xu."
Xu Damao looked at the young Zhou Xingxing, who was looking at him with a restrained expression.
He then put down his messy thoughts, and Xu Damao thought for a moment and asked.
"Classmate Zhou, what do you think of the character Ouyang Ke?"
Zhou Xingxing... I applied for Lu Guanying, you ask me Ouyang Ke? Well, you are the boss and you have the final say.
"Arrogant, cynical, and doesn't take everything seriously."
Xu Damao: "So, classmate Zhou, can you imitate Ouyang Ke, who is arrogant, cynical, crazy, and doesn't care about anything?"
Zhou Xingxing is cursing her mother in her heart now, what the hell is crazy?
But he did not dare to hesitate and quickly recalled the relevant scenes of Ouyang Ke.
He performed a scene of entering Prince Zhao's Mansion for the first time, and Xu Damao watched it very carefully.
Now Zhou Xingxing is acting completely according to the textbook, and it's so good that you can't say he's wrong.
But now he has nothing of his own.
Xu Damao: "Classmate Zhou Xingxing, I found that you are a very spiritual student, and your performance just now was not bad."
"Well, I won't give you the role in this drama."
Before Zhou Xingxing could be disappointed, Xu Damao continued.
"But I appreciate people with spiritual energy. Let's do this. I'll give you a job to help on the set."
"As long as it doesn't affect the crew's filming, you can help wherever you want, and of course you'll be paid."
"Wait until you have a suitable script that needs investment, or a role in a film that you like."
"When you feel that you can perform better, you can call me at any time."
Zhou Xingxing held a piece of paper tightly and walked out of Xu Damao's office.
The whole person was still in a state of confusion. It was not until he walked under the sun that he came back to his senses.
He carefully recalled every word Xu Damao said.
Then carefully take this piece of paper with the phone number and pager number on it.
I read it side by side, and the numbers above were firmly in my mind.
Then he carefully packed it in a plastic bag, put it in his personal pocket, and then ran out with a cheer.
On Xu Damao's side, he called all the actors he had identified and those he had an impression of to come in and have a private discussion.
Among them was Deborah's husband. Xu Damao thought about it mischievously.
Is it better to let him play Yang Tiexin as he is? After all, this suits his characteristics very well.
The morning passed like this, and Xu Damao decided on all the roles he was interested in.
The rest is left to TVB and the director of this drama.
Acting skills? He doesn't need to worry about this at all. There are basically no vases in this era.
Although the acting skills are high and low, overall they are definitely passable.
There were people outside. When Xu Damao came, he went through the back door.
He didn't want to go out at this time in the afternoon, so he planned to deal with him in the office.
As soon as he returned to his office, Pan Yingying came over with food.
I just happened to save money by sending my bodyguard out to buy some, but the meal process was a bit tiring.
After you have eaten enough, you need to feed her too, although the way of feeding is different.
In this way, Xu Damao's lunch break is basically gone.
When he entered the selection office and looked out the window.
The number of people is much smaller now than in the morning, but the scene is even more beautiful.
Colorful beauties in well-dressed clothes always make people feel happy.
Xu Damao still flipped through the information first, but when he opened the information.
On the first page is actually Lan Jieying, the poor woman who plays the role of Spring Thirty-year-old.
In the future, I will be completely destroyed physically and mentally by those evil directors.
But she has just graduated and she still looks innocent and cute.
Then help her keep her sweetness and cuteness, it's just a matter of saying hello.
Xu Damao then asked Lan Jieying to come in for an interview. She now has short hair.
There was a sweet smile on her pink face, but there was still a sense of restraint in her eyes.
"Hello Mr. Xu, I am a graduate of the TVB training class. My name is Lan Jieying."
Xu Damao: "Lam Chiu-ying, graduated from Gezhi College in Knutsford Terrace, Tsim Sha Tsui."
"Later I studied business courses and worked as a salesperson, electronics factory worker, and insurance salesperson."
"I joined TVB's training class last year and just graduated from the training class today."
"What you signed for the time being is a salary of 1,200 yuan. TVB has no clear arrangements for you yet."
"So you chose to come here to audition for one of the roles. Is this the case, Miss Lan?"
Lan Jieying: "Yes, Mr. Xu."
Xu Damao: "Can I ask you a personal question? Of course, if you don't want to say it, that's fine. It won't affect the interview."
Lan Jieying was feeling frustrated now because she was the first one to be called in.
She also had to ask herself personal questions. Mr. Xu didn't mean to..., but she could only go on.
"Mr. Xu, please ask, I will try my best to answer you."
Xu Damao: "If you become popular with this drama and make money, what will you do first?"
Lan Jieying: "If you want to rent a comfortable house again, at least it should have a separate bathroom."
"Then buy a lot of delicious snacks and eat them all in the newly rented room."
