Cheng Hailu asked his people to find such a protagonist. The requirement was that the actor must have good acting skills. Whether or not there was traffic was not the key. The character must be portrayed well. It would be better if he had experience as a deliveryman.
Because there is only one protagonist in this movie "The Delivery Hero", and he needs to have a certain level of basic skills to act well. Even if you are a traffic star, it is estimated that he will not be able to act well.
According to Cheng Hailu's previous practices in the entertainment industry, he must meet the requirements of the capital side and squeeze some popular stars into the movie, which will also increase the traffic for the movie.
However, this time, with the strong support of Mr. Qiu, there is no need to consider this factor at all. We can directly find the most suitable one and make sure this work is of the highest quality.
...
Zhang Songwen had just finished playing a minor role in a film crew. After eating the crew’s lunch box, he was going to see which crew wanted someone so that he could rush over.
His clothes were a little torn, but his steps were firm.
At this moment his phone rang. Could it be that someone came to help him?
The call he received was from an assistant director he was familiar with. There was an interview going on at Baofu Video Company, and they were going to shoot a movie about a delivery man. They asked him if he wanted to audition. It was just a one-time tryout opportunity because there were many candidates.
But Zhang Songwen agreed immediately. After taking a gulp of water, his eyes became determined.
He doesn't have a face that looks like a star, and looks very ordinary, so many directors won't cast him as the leading actor, because he doesn't have the traffic and not so many young girls and boys will support him.
However, Zhang Songwen loves acting very much. He also knows that the audition may only have a one percent chance of success, but he still went with a firm step.
Cheng Hailu looked at the many people who came to audition and reviewed them one by one. If someone could not be the leading role, he would ask if they could be willing to be a supporting role.
When it was Zhang Songwen's turn to be interviewed, Cheng Hailu looked at his resume and found that this person had a lot of life and work experience. He had worked as a delivery man, a small vegetable vendor, a tour guide, and a driver.
The overall experience seems to be consistent with the character, but I don’t know how the performance is.
After chatting for a few words, Cheng Hailu posed a difficult question, asking the student to act out a delivery man's behavior of being late in delivering food.
Zhang Songwen didn't hesitate at all. He just ran back and forth with a fool next to him, then made a phone call while panting, and told the customer to wait a moment, the takeaway would be here soon.
Then he ran upstairs, delivered the meal to the customer, took a deep breath, calmed down, and said to himself, fortunately I still made it in time and was not too late.
Cheng Hailu applauded and approved of Zhang Songwen's performance. This was the performance of a real delivery man, not like the previous actor who kept asking, "What to do, what to do, the delivery is late, ahhhhh!!!"
So for the last one, Cheng Hailu just passed.
Zhang Songwen was admitted as a candidate and entered the re-examination.
After Cheng Hailu looked at Zhang Songwen, he had higher requirements for other people, so he eliminated most of the people, and finally one person also won Cheng Hailu's recognition.
That person has a little bit of popularity. His name is Jiang Wenlong. He is a second-tier male star and his acting skills are also quite outstanding.
Let’s see which one is more suitable to be the protagonist. Just when Cheng Hailu arranged the second interview, Mr. Qiu came with Assistant Guo and Cai Wenyin.
This was also Cai Wenyin's request. Since the filming had already started, she had to come over to see it, so she asked Mr. Qiu to take her there. Mr. Qiu had no choice but to leave it to Cheng Hailu, who didn't want to go.
Cheng Hailu saw Mr. Qiu coming, which was perfect. When the time came to select one of the candidates, he would ask Mr. Qiu for some advice.
Soon, Jiang Wenlong and Zhang Songwen were standing in front of the table, waiting for the audition questions, ready to decide the winner.
Cheng Hailu asked Mr. Qiu softly, "Mr. Qiu, how about you help me come up with a topic to see which one better fits the image of the delivery hero?" Then he introduced the two actors and also gave some introductions of their personal experiences.
Jiang Wenlong has some talent and is also a second-tier actor. He has decent traffic and his previous movies have performed well. Zhang Songwen has good acting skills, but he has no outstanding works for the time being because he mostly plays supporting roles.
Mr. Qiu thought about it and thought that Jiang Wenlong has the talent and traffic, so he could easily make the movie a success. That was not possible. Zhang Songwen, right? His acting skills are OK, and he might play the leading role, but it is not a box office hit, which is also good. At least we are really working hard to make a good movie. If the box office is not good, it is also determined by the market, haha.
Originally, Mr. Qiu wanted to just decide on Zhang Songwen, but that would be unfair to the other one. If it's a test of acting skills, then come up with a topic yourself.
Mr. Qiu touched his chin and asked, "Can you show a delivery man who has superpowers and what changes will happen to him?"
After hearing this, Zhang Song fell into deep thought. Jiang Wenlong wanted more details, otherwise he didn't know how to perform.
"What kind of superpower is it? Can you tell me in detail?" Jiang Wenlong asked.
"Whatever you want is fine," Mr. Qiu replied perfunctorily.
Jiang Wenlong was speechless. He was most afraid of such nonsensical questions and sometimes he didn't know how to respond.
At this moment, Zhang Songwen opened his eyes and said, "Can I perform first?"
After getting permission, Zhang Songwen began his performance without props. He looked at his hands, did two circles with his bare hands, then picked up a stone on the ground and felt it break into pieces with a squeeze.
Then he jumped from the spot and looked up at the sky, as if he was flying. Then his expression changed from confusion to surprise, and then he looked up at the sky and imagined the future.
The whole performance was very smooth and really good. Mr. Qiu applauded, and Cheng Hailu and others also gave him face and applauded.
After watching Zhang Songwen's performance, Jiang Wenlong was also inspired. He remembered the Superman movie he had seen and tried to imitate it. However, his performance was a bit strange. It felt like he was fighting a monster?
It is now clear who performed better, and President Qiu is also very pleased. Zhang Songwen is indeed good. He originally thought that he would have to find a reason to say that he performed well, but now it seems that everyone recognizes it.
Therefore, Zhang Songwen was designated by Mr. Qiu as the leading actor of the movie Takeaway Hero, and Jiang Wenlong became a supporting actor. Thinking of this, Jiang Wenlong was very angry, and his fingers were pinched purple by his nails. He was very embarrassed to be robbed of his leading role by a supporting actor.
After the second interview, Cai Wenyin took a photo with Zhang Songwen and said that she had seen his movie and that he performed very well.
Zhang Songwen was a little at a loss. After all, everything happened too fast. He thought it was just a formality, but he didn't expect to really become the leading actor. He was also very excited to be noticed by President Qiu and Director Cheng Hailu.
Zhang Songwen told Mr. Qiu that he would definitely work hard and asked him not to worry.
Seeing that the task was completed, Mr. Qiu no longer cared about Cai Wenyin and told her to go shopping on her own and left first as he had something to do.
