Chapter 406 Audition
Now that we are all here and everything outside is almost ready, we can start.
The first thing to choose is the heroine. This is easy. Just choose one based on her appearance as a fairy. Anyway, there is nothing to worry about the role of Xiaolongnu. Those who are not fairy-like enough can be passed.
But therein lies the problem. An ordinary female star cannot portray the otherworldly feeling of Xiaolongnu.
"No, Second Sister-in-law, Director Tang, what you are asking for is a little difficult to achieve. Think about it, aren't there any female celebrities in our industry who can perform fairy-like roles?"
After auditioning four people in a row, Zou Lianxun felt that he would never find a suitable candidate:
"Or is it possible to enhance the fairy-like feeling through post-production makeup and beauty filters? I remember that there were also cold and beautiful women in other dramas. How did they do it? Let's copy it."
"Then what do you think we are testing? Isn't it just to find a seedling that can be processed in the post-production? Even if it is a post-production enhancement, the actress's original conditions can't be too different, and it also depends on her acting skills."
Director Tang was speechless. Did he think he wasn't worried? He was worried to death when he saw the look of the heroine. This type of actress is almost the most difficult to find:
"You know who the female stars are in our circle. The female stars who played this kind of role before were all dissed. It can be seen that the effect was not good. This is our first shot, we can't be so foolish."
Zou Lianxun frowned and searched his mind, but he couldn't find an absolutely suitable one. He was completely at a loss.
"Don't we have two scripts prepared? Why don't we choose Huang Rong first?" Shi Feiye suggested helplessly.
It was because she thought about how difficult it would be to play Xiaolongnu that she made The Legend of the Condor Heroes and The Return of the Condor Heroes together before showing them to Director Tang. Now it seems that her original decision was the right one.
"Huang Rong is easier to find. Otherwise, we can just shoot the scenes of The Legend of the Condor Heroes first and put The Return of the Condor Heroes aside. Anyway, although they are coherent plots, they can be shot separately."
Director Tang immediately made the decision to continue filming and then slowly look for a suitable actress later.
"If those people just now were to play Huang Rong, it would feel a little lacking." Shi Feiye felt that those people were not the Huang Rong in her mind, "not flexible enough."
"Let's wait and see. There are still many people auditioning." Zou Lianxun leaned back, put his hands behind his head, and let out a long sigh.
After trying three more, he still felt like something was missing. Shi Feiye pursed his lips and thought:
"Why do I feel like I'm either too mature or too immature, or too weak, and I don't have that kind of cleverness?"
Director Tang put down the script and scratched his head: "There's nothing we can do. Most of the roles needed in today's dramas are like this. It's hard to find someone as smart as you want. But if we give him some training, the new guy in green clothes can play the role."
"It's a bit risky. That woman doesn't have a good grasp of the role. It will be difficult to shoot. Director Tang, you will be very tired."
As Zou Lianxun was speaking, another person came in. The girl smiled as soon as she came in. Her eyes looked like crescent moons when she smiled, and the eyes of the three people brightened.
Shi Feiye looked forward to watching the other party's performance, which was exactly the scene where Huang Rong changed her clothes and deliberately showed it to Guo Jing.
The little girl pretended to be sitting on a boat and slowly came out. She raised her eyes with lively eyes and blinked once. Then she smiled with curved eyebrows and gently played with the non-existent hair on her chest. She called out "Brother Jing" softly but couldn't help but loudly. After calling out, she did not forget to lower her head and then raised it again. There was joy in her eyes that could not be hidden.
Zou Lianxun slowly put down his hands, Shi Feiye couldn't help but lean forward, and Director Tang stood up all of a sudden, smiling:
"Okay, okay, this is the feeling. This is the feeling."
Shi Feiye pulled Director Tang to sit down, coughed lightly a few times, and asked the girl what she thought of the role. After asking, she gave her a scene and asked her to act.
It was the scene where Guo Jing misunderstood that Huang Lao Xie had killed his master, and the two had an argument. Huang Rong chased him to the beach and watched Guo Jing sail away.
After reading the script, the little girl thought for two minutes and then immediately got into the role.
After the performance, Shi Feiye couldn't help but laugh: "That's the feeling, the feeling of Huang Rong."
"It's Huang Rong's look. It's exactly what Huang Rong looks like. It's pretty much what came to my mind when I read the script. It's OK. It really is OK."
Director Tang was much more excited than Shi Feiye, and he quickly asked the girl again, only to find out that she had acted in some dramas before, and this time she took the initiative to try her luck.
"We have to give a thumbs up to our Mr. He this time. Fortunately, he gave this girl a chance to audition." Director Tang felt like he had survived a disaster.
Normally, minor roles are chosen directly by the assistant director. Director Tang and Director He have been working together for many years, and the roles chosen by the other party are usually just shown once to him and that's it. I didn't expect that this time he would be so fussy and push for the female lead.
But it was also thanks to the other party's unnecessary efforts, otherwise how could we have met such a suitable candidate? Director Tang's previous confusion now had an answer.
"Yes, but if you ask me, my second sister-in-law's idea is better. Don't just look for those famous actors. Just choose the best ones yourself. New actors are not proud, and it is easier to train them, and you can get the desired results."
Normally, when filming a drama, one should directly choose famous actresses, preferably those with many fans and high traffic. When the time comes, they can just negotiate with each other and then choose some supporting roles. It was Shi Feiye who felt that this was not a good idea, so she persuaded Director Tang to choose the leading role himself.
"Yes, Ye Zi's idea is better. Let's wait and see. If there is no more suitable one, then she will be the one for the time being."
The three people reached an agreement, and the staff took the actress named Fengchuan Xue to the other side to rest first, while the three people continued watching.
All candidates for the female lead had been auditioned, but no other suitable person was found, so in the end Feng Chuan Xue had to be chosen temporarily.
Today we are going to test all the female characters. Below the heroine are the supporting actresses. The supporting actresses in The Legend of the Condor Heroes are nothing more than Mu Nianci, Hua Zheng, Mei Chaofeng, Bao Xiruo, and Li Ping.
Shi Feiye hesitated for a moment and decided to choose Mei Chaofeng first.
This role should be a very special one. She doubted whether those actresses could grasp the role well. After all, the image of Mei Chaofeng was there, and it was not easy to bring the role to life with such a crazy look.
"Let's go first, Mei Chaofeng. You all take a break. I'm going to the bathroom."
After the decision was made, Shi Feiye got up and went to the toilet. He had been sitting there for such a long time that even as a spectator, he found it a little unbearable.
However, when she came out of the bathroom and passed by the room where the people auditioning for Mei Chaofeng were waiting, she heard a familiar voice.
