Chapter 256: Dilemma

The characters in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio are easy to choose. Although there are some ghosts, most of these ghosts look normal.

The daily life is not too fantastical, so the characters are easier to understand.

For example, in the Zhu Erdan unit, except for Lu Pan who has some magic, the other characters are ordinary people.

Based on the fact that Jiang Qin has two film and television dramas about ancient costumes, the actors only need some basic training in ancient etiquette.

After all, they are all professionals and have their own understanding of the roles, otherwise they would not be selected.

The difficult part is the rigid agreement.

This is another subject matter that interstellar people have never seen before, especially the scenes about Taoism, which are more difficult to understand than ancient martial arts.

And there are zombies.

There are still stories and legends about vampires in a few places in the universe, but no one is interested in them.

Because in everyone's eyes, this is a story adapted from zombies.

The zombie disaster of that year did evolve into immortal monsters with snow-white skin, red eyes and man-eating nature in the later period.

Advanced zombies basically have consciousness.

So basically everyone thinks that vampires are zombies!

As for zombies, I've never heard of them...

Driving corpses? I was completely confused.

Now that there is a zombie agreement, Jiang Qin also has a plan to film the zombie Taoist priest.

It’s just that I’m too busy at the moment, and she needs to follow the filming of every movie.

After auditioning for a few days, I finally received an invitation to film a variety show from Empire.

After some hesitation, Jiang Qin finally agreed.

If for no other reason, it's just to have a beginning and an end. Besides, this time the filming is on the main planet of the Federation, so she can set up the scene and record the variety show at the same time.

As for auditions, the main roles have almost been found, and the rest will probably be found before the recording of the variety show.

After all, what we have received now is just an invitation. The actual recording will start in three days.

As for which guests the program team invited this time, she did not ask.

***

Two days later.

Before the recording of the variety show, Ma Xiaoling's role had not yet been decided.

Three females who fit the image were selected before, but after the actual audition, they were all rejected.

This made Jiang Qin very distressed.

It’s not that she hasn’t thought about doing it herself, but to be honest, she may not be more professional than professional actors.

It’s very difficult now.

Should I practice my acting skills myself, or continue auditioning, try to find a suitable actress, and then break it down and teach her Taoism and metaphysics...

This reminded her of the character Daiyu in the first Dream of the Red Chamber.

In the end, is it temperament or appearance that matters?

In the end, the director said that he would rather have the actress's temperament than find a better-looking actress.

In terms of image, Jiang Qin feels that she fits the role fairly well.

Some of her shortcomings can be compensated by makeup. The only thing she is not confident about is her acting skills.

After hesitating for a long time, Jiang Qin decided to try again.

Therefore, Tianwen Entertainment could only continue to issue announcements and recruit female actors, with the requirement being: a Central Asian face.

There is no age requirement. A 50-year-old female in the interstellar world can maintain a 20-year-old face.

So age is the least worth mentioning.

Many female actresses who have auditioned before are excited.

After all, they just auditioned for supporting roles but were not chosen. Maybe they are destined to be the heroine?

So the audition building of Tianwen Entertainment was once again crowded.

"Your face looks too Western. No, next one."

"The legs aren't nice enough, next one..."

"Too cute, not suitable. Next one."

"Your fingers don't look good... Next one."

Jiang Qin worked like an assembly line, eliminating a large number of people in just a few hours.

This was something no one had ever seen before after so many days of auditions.

Today, she is quite demanding.

The unsuccessful female actress's face immediately fell after she left the audition room.

"Woo woo, Miss Jiang Qin is so cold today."

"Don't mention it. I haven't even auditioned yet. I just put my hand out and I was rejected."

"There's no other way. The heroine in this drama has a lot of scenes involving hand gestures. I can't always use a hand stand-in or photoshop everything."

"Alas, I was also eliminated because I was a bit stronger..."

"I was rejected because my gestures were too stiff and my eyes were too blank."

"Honestly, I don't understand why the heroine uses such awkward hand gestures during battle. I felt like a fool and almost burst out laughing..."

“I still don’t understand what kind of drama this is. The person I interviewed for was a female cannon fodder.

There was just one scene where she turned into a female zombie on a catwalk and fought with the male lead.

I played the role of a female zombie, but was rejected."

“Although I didn’t get the audition, I have a feeling this will be a very interesting drama!”

…

The calling of numbers in the room continued, and more and more female actors came out with bad looks on their faces.

Most of them left here in a hurry, obviously they were not selected.

This made the remaining people feel more and more uneasy.

Half-orc females don't have any chance to audition, and pure human females basically have no chance either. After all, they can't handle fighting scenes at all.

It’s not hard to find one that fits the image.

Until the day the dating variety show started filming, Jiang Qin still hadn't chosen the female lead.

As for the male lead, Long Hao has been decided.

Although he is an imperial male, his appearance is a pure oriental face. As for his eyes, he can just wear colored contact lenses.

***

On the first day of filming the dating variety show, all the guests gathered in a tourist town in the central city.

Jiang Qin saw several familiar faces here.

Female guest: Natalisa.

Male guests: Ni Jia, Jiang Qingfeng, Yuan Ling, Long Hao!

As for Apollo, according to online rumors, he has become Denise's male favorite.

Of course, this was just a rumor and she wasn't sure if it was true or not.

There were also three unfamiliar females and one male, new arrivals, none of whom she knew.

Just then, the director began to introduce everyone, "I believe that those who have watched the first episode of our program know some of the guests here, right?

That’s right, they are our old friends from the first issue: Miss Natalisa, Miss Jiang Qin, Marshal Jiang Qingfeng, His Highness Long Hao, Mr. Ni Jia and our Mr. Yuan Ling.

The remaining few are our new guests!"

The director first introduced a female with short fiery red hair and ears full of various earrings.

"This is Miss Qi Shan from the Empire, an A-rank female and also an outstanding speed racing driver!"

The director passed the microphone to Qi Shan and asked politely, "Miss Qi Shan, would you like to say hello to the friends in the live broadcast room?"

Qi Shan grinned and said, "Hello everyone, I am a bisexual, and I am here for Miss Jiang Qin and Master Young Marshal.

I hope the three of us can finally hold hands and return home!"

………The whole audience was silent.
