Chapter 284
[Host of the "Cannon Fodder Counterattack" system detected]
It was indeed difficult to choose the actor for the role of Bai Fei.
As Bai Wei's twin brother, the character who has the most scenes with Ling Suisui, Yan Siling spent a lot of time and energy on casting, but unfortunately the results were not satisfactory.
At the beginning, her idea was that the male actor must have good acting skills and be able to create a wonderful magnetic field when standing with Ling Suisui. If he also looked like Ling Suisui, it would be even better, after all, they were twins.
The first condition Yan Siling gave up was the last one. Although a large number of "Little Ling Sui" have emerged in the circle, many of them rely on makeup and photo editing to create a sense of atmosphere, or simply find an angle to shoot videos. Few of them really look like her, and it is even harder to choose among male actors.
This item was just added value, so Yan Siling gave up on it outright.
When it came to the aspect of good acting skills, many people were stopped. If the age standard is relaxed, many middle-aged film emperors would be willing to take the role. However, Bai Fei's age is set to be 28, and he plays the role of Ling Sui's 40-year-old brother. Is it appropriate to find a male actor in his 40s?
An actress in her forties may be able to play the role of a woman in her twenties, but given the maintenance level of these male actors... except for a few individuals, it's really worth noting.
Yan Siling was picky during the audition and did pick out a few male actors with decent acting skills, but none of them met her other standard - these people stood next to Ling Suisui, which didn't give her the feeling she wanted.
Anyone who works in art knows that the four words "feeling wrong" are the most troublesome thing. How can I feel it? What kind of feeling do you want? I don’t know anything.
Li Mingxu just couldn't pass this level. There would be no reply at the audition site, and Yan Siling's routine was to wait for notification. When Li Mingxu still didn't get it after a few days, he had a rough idea in his mind.
He complained to Ling Suisui: "She didn't say it clearly, so how could I guess it correctly?"
Ling Suisui could only shrug her shoulders. In fact, if she had gone to talk to Yan Siling, the matter would have been settled.
However, Li Mingxu's acting skills have indeed improved, but not yet so good that she can think that "he is the best candidate", so Ling Suisui respects Yan Siling's choice and lets her choose again.
The reason why Yan Siling rejected Li Mingxu was very simple. The sister-brother relationship she wanted was one of equal strength and fighting. When Li stood next to Ling Suisui, it was obvious that he was born to be a younger brother. Where did the dramatic tension come from?
It’s just because Ling Sui’s aura is too strong. Many male actors are stuck at this stage.
Ling Suisui: "So you want to find someone who is tall and strong and has a strong presence?"
"That's not the case."
Yan Siling scratched her head in distress: "It has nothing to do with the body shape. What I want is that kind of... rough but shrewd temptation. At first glance, you feel that this person is uncouth, but he also has his own survival wisdom, and he has that kind of selfish intelligence."
Among the male actors who came to audition, very few could think of this level. Many of them played Bai Fei according to the standard of a "villain", and made him into a stupid, bad and rogue. Of course, this did not achieve the effect that Yan Siling wanted.
A small number of people thought of it, but the performance was always a little off. Yan Siling couldn't describe it in such detail.
She exhausted all her vocabulary and could only describe it this way: "Bai Wei's intelligence can be put in the sun, fighting on the front battlefield, appearing as an elite and being looked up to by others."
"Bai Fei is a bit dark and damp, because he was abducted when he was young, which makes him assume the most vicious attitude towards others. He feels very inferior in front of Bai Wei, and he has a kind of dark hostility that he tries to restrain, but still can't stop."
This is indeed beyond the capabilities of many male actors, and Ling Suisui can only ask Tang Bing for help and ask her to make an introduction.
Even Tang Bing, who has many students and connections throughout the entertainment industry, still has to take some time to think about who is suitable, as there is no way to give her an immediate answer.
Because Yan Siling has very high standards and the movie starring Ling Suisui has attracted much attention, this unresolved role, after attracting countless male actors to try out for the role and being rejected, has actually become a test question for an "acting test for male actors" on the Internet.
Based on the true or false revelations from the melon owners and the secondary processing fueled by marketing accounts, the entertainment team also set scoring standards for this exam.
Those who can sign up for the audition have a minimum score of 60 points; those who can meet Feng Yang have 70 points, those who can meet Yan Siling have 80 points, and if they enter the background check stage of Fengshou Media, they will have 90 points.
Of course, there was only one person who got full marks in this exam, and that was the actor officially announced by the movie. As for who it will be, let us all wait for the birth of a new generation of year-old man.
This post was posted by Ji Zhaoying in the small group of sisters, and Ling Sui was tagged to read it. Several people were sending laughing emojis and asking her how the 20-year-old male candidates of this year were progressing and what round of selection they were in.
Ling Suisui: ...
This kind of ridiculously fake stuff can only fool people outside the circle. What trend are they following? They are so close to her and they are so big.
She sent a few "hit you" emojis to hit back at this group of bored sisters, and asked them one by one to help introduce people.
Zhong Yao, who is a smart girl, said that she would help, and also asked Ling Suisui for a favor - she believed in the vision of "Sui Huang Yan Xuan", so could those actors who were eliminated in the final round be recommended to her?
In this group, although only Zhong Yao has completely moved behind the scenes and is no longer an actor, there are also many members who also serve as producers and producers. After she said that, her group members agreed and suggested that they just recommend some male actors with a score of 80 or above.
Ling Suisui said that it could be postponed, but it would be difficult to arrange their schedule. Because Fengshou Media also has another drama called "Ru Meng Ling" this year, this drama has a lot of ancient costume political intrigue characters.
In other words, those actors who failed to be selected in their first choice still have a chance to be selected in their second choice. This is also an important reason why the audition site is always crowded with people.
Even many actors expect to go for the latter. After all, Yan Siling is a newcomer, and it depends on luck whether an art film can win awards, but "Ru Meng Ling" is almost certain to be a hit. There has not been a No. 1 TV series with an average broadcast volume of less than 100 million per episode.
The project team of "Ru Meng Ling" was very happy, but Yan Siling was not so happy. As the scheduled start time got closer, even if Feng Yang and Ling Suisui didn't urge her, she was so anxious that she couldn't sleep.
She went to her teacher for advice, and the teacher told her honestly that she had to make do with what she had done at times like this. She still has a choice. Many directors have no choice when it comes to funding. If they are not satisfied with an actor, it is definitely not the actor who will be replaced.
Only then did Yan Siling realize what a good life she was living. With her fame and qualifications, meeting an actor and investor like Ling Suisui is as lucky as winning a five million lottery.
When she finally came to her senses and was ready to accept the second best option, Tang Bing introduced a male actor.
The actor's name is Yu Jiaxing, and he was selected by a scout when he was fourteen years old. Because the scout painted a fancy pie for him, which made his parents dizzy and confused, and they thought it was extremely easy to make money in the entertainment industry, so they let him drop out of school to become a trainee.
But he was unlucky and signed a contract with an unreliable and unscrupulous company. He didn't see many good resources, didn't make much of a splash when he was sent to auditions, and even owed the company a large sum of training fees. A few years later, his parents wanted him to go back to school, but the company held the contract and asked them to pay several million in liquidated damages first.
Yu Jiaxing struggled for many years, until last year, when he was already 29 years old, he finally settled the lawsuit with the company and successfully terminated the contract.
Tang Bing thought of him this time because a friend of a friend had recommended him to her before. The other party said that he was very handsome and had a talent for acting, and was born to be an actor. Unfortunately, he was delayed by unscrupulous companies. Now no big company is willing to train a 30-year-old "newcomer".
Anyway, Ling Suisui doesn't care about popularity but only ability. After Tang Bing saw Yu Jiaxing's photo, she decided to give it a try and asked him to audition at Harvest Media.
As soon as he appeared, Yan Siling was very surprised. He looked somewhat like Ling Suisui!
After learning about his experience, although it was inappropriate to think this way, Yan Siling became even more excited.
No wonder I always felt that he had a hint of resentment. It turned out that his life had deviated from the established track, which was similar to Bai Fei who was abducted and sold.
Yan Siling was very satisfied with his performance. When Ling Suisui came to the company specially and the two met, the chemical reaction produced by their eye contact instantly struck Yan Siling's imagination of the script.
"That's it." She said to Ling Suisui excitedly, "How about choosing him? This is the feeling I want."
Ling Sui raised her eyebrows. She did not answer Yan Siling immediately, but found a chair and sat down first.
Yu Jiaxing was also sitting in the room. His gaze was caught by Ling Suisui, and then he lowered his head, seeming to be lost in some kind of thought.
Ling Suisui knew what he was doing and was probably communicating with the system in his mind.
Just now, her system reminded her that it detected Yu Jiaxing as the host bound to the "Cannon Fodder Counterattack" system.
Ling Suisui asked: [Will the other party also know which system I am bound to? 】
System: [No, my level is higher than the opposing system, it cannot recognize my existence. 】
It was hard to tell that Ling Sui was complaining in his heart, but he was also slightly relieved.
Although she was not worried that Yu Jiaxing would use this matter to threaten her, if he wanted to tell others, others would have to believe him, and he himself would also be at risk of being regarded as a monster. However, it was better to avoid trouble if possible.
Ling Suisui asked again: [Can you identify what functions his system has, and is it related to his acting skills? 】
System: [Sorry, I don’t have permission in this regard. 】
Oh, it seems that this level is not much higher.
Ling Suisui was a little hesitant. She actually didn't really want to deal with another system host. Their career paths were completely different and they could be completely unrelated in the entertainment industry. But Yan Siling really wanted him to play Bai Fei.
Yan Siling whispered in her ear: "He is really suitable for Bai Fei. I just asked him to try a scene. It was his reaction when he went to his sister's house when Bai Fei and Bai Wei met for the first time."
"He got into the role very quickly, and it was like he became a different person in an instant. Although this is just an ordinary room, he can imagine it as Bai Wei's mansion. He grasped the moments of expectation, restraint, uneasiness, embarrassment, envy, and imbalance of mentality very well. If you hadn't told me that he was a newcomer who had only acted for a few years, I would have thought he was a veteran actor."
"When he saw you, he didn't act out of character at all. There was that kind of look in his eyes... that kind of look... Anyway, it was what I needed, that kind of dark and moist feeling."
Ling Suisui wondered, was it that he didn't act properly, or was he just hostile to her?
But she didn't know him before, and had no connection with the company that delayed him. Even if he hated the world, he couldn't hate her.
She savored it for a moment and felt that it was not hatred. If it was such a simple emotion, Yan Siling would not be unable to describe it and would always say "it doesn't feel right".
Ling Sui was still hesitating whether to use him when the system sent a prompt.
[For the host of the "Counterattack System", the people around him are usually divided into only two categories, namely contributors and those who are slapped in the face. It is recommended that the host carefully consider having contact with the other party. 】
After it said that, Ling Suisui became even more curious.
So the way Yu Jiaxing looked at her just now, the kind of look that made Yan Siling feel that "it was Bai Fei himself", did he see her as a blood bag or a stepping stone?
"Get ready for the next audition."
Ling Sui stretched and made a bet with the system.
——Let’s see whether Yu Jiaxing has the ability to slap her in the face when they are acting on the same stage like this.
