At the entrance of the theater, Director Zhao had already been waiting there.
"Director Su, all the factory leaders, I am sorry for not welcoming you in person! Welcome to our drama troupe to guide our work."
In terms of level, the drama troupe is several levels lower than the film studio, so Director Zhao naturally keeps a low profile.
Because they are in the same system, Captain Zhao is thinking about building a good relationship. Maybe there will be a chance to transfer to Chuncheng Film Studio in the future!
"Captain Zhao, sorry to bother you. As I just said on the phone, we came here specifically to select male actors for a movie."
Director Su pointed at Lin Huowang next to him and said with a smile, "This is Comrade Haizi. We are about to start filming Comrade Haizi's two works, Scars and Bright Sword. Bright Sword will be filmed as a 20-episode TV series, and we are currently lacking a lead actor."
"What? Comrade Haizi. It's really Comrade Haizi. I've heard a lot about you! I've heard a lot about you! Comrade Haizi, I've read every one of your works. I'm your senior reader!"
When Captain Zhao heard Haizi's name, he was so excited that he immediately stepped forward and shook Lin Huowang's hands tightly with both hands. This kind of enthusiasm could not be acted out.
"Captain Zhao, thank you for your love. I will create more and better works."
Lin Huowang also responded very humbly.
This is why he wrote poetry and novels, because in the next twenty years or so, the status and influence of Chinese literati will be quite popular.
A writer who has a work that is well-known among all Chinese people will basically never have to worry about food and drink in his life.
In the past six months alone, Lin Huowang has felt the many conveniences brought about by the fame of his works.
"Director Su, everyone please come in. I have called all the male actors in the troupe over..."
Captain Zhao led the way in front. The entire Chuncheng Repertory Theatre was not very large, and it was mainly located in this building.
With two rehearsal stages, several prop rooms and dressing rooms, the scale of the theater is completely incomparable to that of large theater troupes.
Including administrative staff, the entire Spring City Repertory Theatre has a staff of less than two hundred people.
"Comrades! This is Director Su of the Chuncheng Film Studio, along with other studio leaders and directors.
There is also this person whom I would like to introduce in particular. He is the great poet and writer Comrade Haizi, who wrote "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Blooming", "A Generation", "Scars" and "Drawing Sword".
This time, we are selecting actors for Comrade Haizi’s “Drawing Sword”…”
Crash!
As soon as Captain Zhao said this, the crowd below immediately went into an uproar.
Those male actors all looked at Lin Huowang on the stage with fiery eyes.
This is a nationally renowned poet and writer!
I usually only see it in newspaper reports, but now I see it with my own eyes.
What surprised them even more was that this time they were really selecting actors for "Drawing Sword".
How good and popular is "Drawing Sword"? How could they not know?
If I could really play a role in "Drawing Sword", it would be enough for me to brag about for the rest of my life.
"Haizi is so famous!"
Gong Xue on the stage was actually the one who felt the changes in the male actors most obviously.
Because she had actually long been accustomed to attracting the attention of gay men when she went out.
But those male comrades who had been staring at her without blinking just now, now all abandoned her and stared at Lin Huowang.
After all, there are plenty of beautiful actresses.
But there is only one Haizi in the whole of China.
"Very good! Director Chen, Director Wang, Director Liu, and several casting directors, Comrade Haizi, please take a look at the male actors below and choose carefully. Is there anyone who can play Li Yunlong?"
Director Su nodded, and then told everyone to go and choose.
Everyone walked off the stage and carefully observed and selected these male actors, just like selecting vegetables in the market.
Even Gong Xue was called to go and see if there were any male actors who matched Li Yunlong's temperament and image.
However……
It's a pity.
There are dozens of male actors, both young and old, but not one of them matches Li Yunlong's image.
Either they look too good or too evil, and they are obviously villains at first glance.
It is really difficult to find a candidate for the commander of the Eighth Route Army's independent regiment who has both bandit spirit and righteousness.
"Director Su, no..."
"I didn't see it either, Director Su."
"Alas! It looks like I will be disappointed again today."
…
Several directors came back after watching the film, sighing and shaking their heads.
Director Su actually didn't have very high hopes. After all, they had already picked all the famous male actors across the country and couldn't find anyone they were satisfied with.
How could it be easily found in such a small Chuncheng Repertory Theatre?
Therefore, Director Su could only smile and say to Captain Zhao: "I'm sorry, Captain Zhao, after looking around, we really couldn't find a male actor who is suitable to play Li Yunlong. We will take our leave first."
However……
At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from the door: "Damn it, our Lao Li hasn't arrived yet, why are you leaving?"
Wow!
What a big tone!
Everyone looked towards the door in search of the sound, but were suddenly startled again.
I saw a "Li Yunlong" wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army, with wrinkles all over his face and a bandit-like aura, standing at the door with a prop pistol in his hand.
"Li... Li Youbin, you are so brave. There are so many leaders here, and you call yourself Lao Li."
Captain Zhao immediately started to reprimand Li Youbin.
Unexpectedly, Li Youbin at this time seemed to be possessed by Li Yunlong. He smiled and stepped forward and said, "Captain Zhao! Old Li has changed his name. It is no longer Li Youbin. The name on the household registration is Li Yunlong."
Then, he walked up to Lin Huowang and Director Su and his group, turned around, showed his face, and said:
"Leaders, Comrade Haizi, are you going to choose an actor to play Li Yunlong? In my opinion, don't look for one. Just use me!
When I watched "Drawing Sword", I felt that Li Yunlong was me and I was Li Yunlong.
The next day, the name on the household registration book was immediately changed to Li Yunlong.
Look at my appearance, it's okay, isn't it? "
Wow!
You’re right.
When everyone at Chuncheng Film Studio, including Director Su, saw Li Youbin appear for the first time, their eyes lit up.
Suddenly, Li Yunlong in the novel "Drawing Sword" took on a concrete image.
Lin Huowang, who was standing by, was even more delighted with surprise.
"Oh! It's really that Old Li! I didn't expect that he has already joined the drama troupe by now?
We met by chance. Apart from being a little younger, he is just like a man who is not afraid of anything except the brigade commander, Li Yunlong!"
