"Hello Director Xu, my name is Liu Yifei. I just graduated from film school and I'm here for an audition..."
Liu Yifei was clearly very excited to see Xu Lu, a renowned director who had already made a name for himself.
As she introduced herself, her clear eyes were secretly observing the young and handsome director.
Of course, she also saw the pretty young woman who looked remarkably like Boss Yang, who came with Director Xu.
In fact, Yang Mi was also sizing up the pretty girl who had prompted President Xu to rush over, secretly comparing her to Yang Mi.
After a moment, Yang Mi sighed somewhat dejectedly.
Although she looks very much like her cousin, she is naturally quite outstanding in appearance.
But compared to the girl named Liu Yifei in front of him, Yang Mi actually felt a sense of inferiority...
Xu Lu didn't notice what was going on between the two pretty girls.
However, upon seeing Liu Yifei's appearance, his eyes immediately lit up, and he thought to himself, "Great!"
For no other reason than that the other person looked exactly like the fairy sister in his memory, they were just too similar!
If Yang Mi, the younger cousin, only resembles 90% of Boss Yang, then Liu Yifei bears a 99% resemblance.
"Hello Yifei, you mentioned that you just graduated from film school. Have you had any acting experience before? Are you currently signed with any agency?"
Xu Lu snapped out of his daze and asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Liu Yifei said somewhat nervously:
“I’ve only had some acting experience in school, but I haven’t officially played a role in a TV series or movie yet, but I can learn.”
Xu Lu nodded and said:
"It's okay, everyone learns gradually. By the way, Yifei, are you interested in signing with our Daxu Culture?"
Rest assured, DaXu Culture's contracts are probably the most lenient in the industry, and they also provide a lot of training resources..."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei was probably still in shock.
However, Yang Mi, who followed behind, already knew that the girl opposite him, who was even prettier than himself, must have caught the eye of President Xu.
"Director Xu, may I think about it first?"
Liu Yifei asked, somewhat excited and hesitant.
"Of course, you can consider it carefully. After reading the contract, you can also discuss it with your family before making a decision."
Oh, by the way, if you'd like, I'd like you to play the female lead in the upcoming martial arts film.
"Huh? The female lead?"
Liu Yifei was genuinely shocked this time.
She originally came to audition hoping to get any role in the show, since she had no prior acting experience.
But she never expected that after just one meeting with the assistant director, the director would come and ask her to play the female lead. It was unbelievable.
Xu Lu asked in surprise:
"What? Didn't Lao Zhou tell you that your image perfectly matches the requirements for my leading lady?"
"Never mind, maybe Lao Zhou has other considerations, but my word is my word, the female lead is perfect for you."
Liu Yifei lowered her head, and after a while, she said hesitantly:
"Director Xu... I'd love to play the female lead, but... I'd like to ask if the female lead will have... that kind of scene?"
"That...which aspect of the scene?"
Xu Lu was taken aback for a moment, but quickly recovered and said with a smile:
"It is undeniable that many directors in film and television dramas like to shoot 'bed' scenes."
However, I don't need to rely on this kind of scene to attract the audience's attention, so you can rest assured.
The female lead will not have any actual sex scenes, and neither will any of the other female characters.
"Then I'm willing!"
Hearing this, Liu Yifei breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with a slight smile.
It has to be said that this girl has a natural, ethereal quality, making her absolutely perfect for period dramas.
Xu Lu glanced at Liu Yifei again before pulling Yang Mi behind him aside and saying:
"Yifei, this is Xiaomi. She's a little younger than you and will also have a role in the film. You can get to know each other first."
"Sister Yifei, I'm a Yang fan. You're so beautiful! You look like a figure from an ancient painting!"
Yang Mi, being a quirky and clever person, immediately went to Liu Yifei's side and spoke up upon hearing this.
Although Liu Yifei felt a little awkward, she still responded with a smile:
"Little fan, you're very pretty too. I feel like you're a big star."
"Sigh, you all say I look like a big star, but actually... haha, actually I'm her cousin!"
Yang Mi was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly burst into laughter.
Seeing that the two were getting along well, Xu Lu nodded slightly, confirming the two important female roles in the drama, which made him very happy.
It has to be said that after making a hit movie, he didn't immediately make another one, but instead started making TV series.
But the reputation of 'Daxu Culture' has been established nonetheless.
Moreover, although most entertainers want to make movies rather than TV series, many people still come to Da Xu Culture to audition for roles.
After a week, the main roles were basically finalized.
On the contrary, the script for our great director Xu is still nowhere to be found.
Unfortunately, there's no original story for him to work on in this world, so Xu Lu has to handle the script himself.
However, the name of the production team has finally been decided.
"The Return of the Condor Heroes? Uh... okay, Mr. Xu, I understand!"
Upon hearing these four words from Xu Lu, Feng Xiaoxia paused for a moment, but ultimately nodded.
However, he felt that this name was strangely similar to the previous one, 'Charlotte's Depression'.
The Return of the Condor Heroes... I haven't read the script, but it seems to be a movie about how to train a condor.
Xu Lu ignored the other person's puzzlement and continued:
"By the way, Xiaoxia, there's another thing I need you to keep an eye on: finding me a female singer who can hit high notes."
"How high do you want to sing, Mr. Xu?"
Feng Xiaoxia asked.
Xu Lu smiled and said:
"Sing as high as you can. I hope to find a female singer who can sing in the dolphin voice to sing the opening theme song."
Feng Xiaoxia's eyes lit up upon hearing this; it was one of the more exciting news he had heard recently. He then asked:
"Mr. Xu, were all the songs for 'The Return of the Condor Heroes' composed by you?"
“That’s right! I’ll sing the male version of the song, but there’s also a female version that we need to find a singer who can sing soprano.”
Xu Lu nodded.
"Okay, Mr. Xu, I'll get on it right away!"
Feng Xiaoxia agreed.
...
at the same time.
The news that the name of the "The Return of the Condor Heroes" production team had been confirmed spread quickly.
For a time, it caused quite a stir on the internet and in the film and television industry.
