Chapter 312: Done, let's fight again
There are so many people.
There was a long queue at the entire Baiqian Media audition site, and Baiqian Media had specially classified the actors.
For example, the main actors such as Xu Sanduo and Chengcai were naturally Yu Xiaoshu and Sun Bo who came for the interview.
In addition, there are some supporting roles, such as the squad leader of Class 5, Lao Ma, Li Meng and others. These supporting roles were selected by assistant director Wang Yifan.
Those with smaller roles, basically the same as extras, are handed over to the casting director.
Just think about it, how many people does this require?
Dingge still met some acquaintances.
"Liu Zhen, what play are you trying out for?"
Dingge looked at a familiar face in the queue and hurried over.
"Li Meng, I feel like this character has just the right amount of scenes, and it won't be finished so soon."
Liu Zhen said with some anticipation: "I think I can give it a try."
"Li Meng, that's indeed possible."
Dinger said with a slight nod.
As the Grassland Class 5 in "Soldier Assault", it can be said to be quite impressive. It is the grave of all squad leaders and the paradise of cowards. Except for Xu Sanduo, Li Meng is the only one who jumps out. (This does not include Chengcai).
On the way here, Ding Ge quickly looked at all the characters, and he also understood the four-member group of Lao Ma, Lao Wei, Xue Lin, and Li Meng from Grassland Class 5.
I have to say here that knowledge is power, and many young actors with high traffic flow do not know what it means to read a script. It's not just these young actors with high traffic flow, because this is a big melting pot, and under this big melting pot, even some actors with good acting skills are becoming more and more degenerate. In short, they do not know how to read a script at all.
By the way, not long ago, some people thought that understanding a script was nothing more than reading it once.
It's really amazing.
But it is not difficult to understand if you think about it. The entertainment industry is now full of people who have missed out. How can we ask for too much from people who have not even completed nine years of compulsory education?
Therefore, it makes sense that some people always say that what actors ultimately compete on is culture.
But there are also some talented people among them. These people may be poor students, but they have never given up learning, just like someone, someone else, someone else, etc. on the earth. Even if they have only graduated from elementary school or junior high school, who dares to say that they are uneducated?
Just like Ding Ge, although he ran away from school before graduating from junior high school, he regretted it after a few months because he found that only by studying hard could he have a way out.
But it was impossible for Dingge to go back to school because his father was sick, his mother was disabled, and his sister had to go to school. So Dingge did not go back to school in the end. He chose to earn money while studying.
During the day, Ding Ge filmed, and sometimes even filmed until 2 or 3 in the morning. But even so, Ding Ge still did not give up learning, so in 10 years, Ding Ge's ability to read scripts has actually improved.
Now, after so many years, Ding Ge's ability to read scripts has naturally improved, and he also has one talent, that is, Ding Ge has a strong learning ability. Even when he was acting as a stuntman, he was always learning from action directors.
That's exactly the case. Ding Ge's ability to read scripts has naturally improved very quickly, so he finished reading the script quickly.
Ding Ge watched all the castings for the members of Grassland Class 5. As for Liu Zhen, because he had connections in Baiqian Media, he was told in advance that he was more suitable for the role of Li Meng.
Ding Ge was not surprised by this, as he knew that Liu Zhen's sister seemed to be an assistant director.
At this time, Liu Zhen asked: "Dingge, which role do you want to choose?"
At this time, someone nearby said, "I think, Ding Ge, you can try out the role of Xue Lin. I took a special look at it and it seems to be quite suitable for you."
Who knew that Liu Zhen would laugh and say, "There are actually quite a few people vying for each role in Grassland Class 5. Look at the people queuing over there, they are all here to play the role of people in Grassland Class 5. Xue Lin is just a small role, but there are already more than a hundred people here. Do you think you can be selected?"
Obviously, for Liu Zhen, the casting for "Soldier Assault" was not easy. Although there was a lot of criticism about this drama from the outside world, everyone's body was still quite honest.
You can tell from the queue.
After all, first- and second-tier stars don’t think highly of this military drama, but some people still want to give it a try. After all, there are many unknown artists in the entertainment industry, and after seeing the casting of "Soldier Assault", of course they all want to come.
If you have connections, then you want to try the leading role. If that doesn’t work, then try the supporting role.
As for those who have nothing to do with it, they just want to try their luck and have good fortune.
Well, Liu Zhen is one of those who has connections. Of course, he still has no confidence whether Li Meng can be chosen for the role.
Because his brother-in-law told him that Baiqian Media would not use any unspoken rules, so Liu Zhen could only rely on himself.
But Liu Zhen felt that the role of Li Meng was not critical after all, so he had no problem playing it.
But he felt that he knew more of the inside story, so he thought that there was no chance for Ding Ge to interview Xue Lin at this time.
The others also laughed.
Ding Ge is quite famous among the extras because he usually acts like a fool. He always does the most work in the crew and works a lot, but earns very little money. Some people even gave Ding Ge a nickname "Ding the Fool".
This is because many people think that Ding Gelai has no chance.
What chance does a fool have?
Then Dingge's words made others laugh.
"What did you say???"
Liu Zhen said in disbelief: "You want to interview the leading role?"
Ding Ge said seriously: "Yes, I want to interview for the leading role, because I think I am quite suitable for the leading role. It seems that this leading role is tailor-made for me."
Before Liu Zhen could speak, Shao Gaoyuan, who was auditioning for Lao Wei, burst into laughter: "Dingge, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Yeah, Dingge, this is a popular TV series, tell me what's the connection between you and the handsome guy?"
"I finally understand why everyone calls you Ding the Fool. Besides, you are not a fool, you are a lunatic."
"That's right. Look at the people auditioning for the leading roles over there. Not to mention Xu Sanduo and Chengcai, just look at the number of people who are auditioning for the leading roles. Why don't they audition? It's because they think they won't be chosen."
…
Good job.
Everyone had no high expectations for the leading role. After all, they really felt that they would not be chosen. But Ding Ge, who was usually looked down upon, actually got to audition for "Soldier Assault".
If this isn’t insanity, what is it?
That's exactly why everyone reacted this way.
Dingge was not embarrassed at all. He smiled and said, "Give it a try. You won't lose anything. I'll go over first."
After saying that, Dingge didn't waste any more time talking to these people and just left.
"Liu Zhen, this Ding Ge is really interesting."
Shao Gaoyuan laughed: "I've seen so many extras, but I've never seen anyone like him."
"Who says he isn't? He's so weird. I even suspect he has a problem with his brain."
Liu Zhen shook his head slightly: "Okay, let's not talk about him anymore. Let's just think about our own business."
On the other side, in the room of the protagonist of the face play, Yu Xiaoshu and Sun Bo were both there.
"Teacher Yu, we have interviewed so many people. Which one do you think is suitable for Xu Sanduo?"
Sun Bo finally couldn't help but ask.
“Neither of them is suitable.”
Yu Xiaoshu shook his head slightly.
"Neither of them is suitable? Teacher Yu, I think the two just now are pretty good, their acting skills are also passable, and they are also handsome and decent..."
Sun Bo said helplessly at this time.
Yu Xiaoshu laughed: "It is precisely because they are handsome and upright that they are not suitable."
this?
Sun Bo was speechless.
How come there is such a saying?
Being handsome is not suitable?
In fact, Sun Bo also thought at the beginning that this was just a popular TV series, but looking at the subsequent developments, Sun Bo felt that it was not the case.
The development of Baiqian Media is nothing like that.
So what's going on?
After Yu Xiaoshu told Sun Bo about this, Sun Bo felt a little bit unconvinced, but now he believes it.
It is really like that.
Yu Xiaoshu probably doesn't want to look for traffic.
Look, I've tried so many, but none of them worked.
Yu Xiaoshu’s next words also confirmed Sun Bo’s guess.
"Director Sun, I told you that the character Xu Sanduo doesn't need to be too handsome. It's even better if he has nothing to do with being handsome, because from the beginning he was a coward, irritating person, and a coward who made others feel annoyed. Just look at how annoyed Gao Cheng is with him, how much Wu Liuyi hates him, and how annoyed other people are with him at the beginning."
Yu Xiaoshu explained: "But Xu Sanduo changed everyone's views step by step. The people in Grassland Class 5 all hated Xu Sanduo at the beginning, and even hated him with gnashing teeth, but in the end they were all moved by Xu Sanduo. This is the charm of Xu Sanduo."
Sun Bo understood.
In fact, Xu Sanduo just needs to be an ordinary person, someone who is inconspicuous in a crowd, but he gradually evolved step by step into a soldier king.
"Yes, that's it."
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "Director Sun, you finally understand my thoughts. Let's continue the interview."
Ten minutes later, Yu Xiaoshu had a resume in his hand.
Sun Bo took one look at the resume and said directly: "This person does not need to come for an interview. He has no acting experience at all. It feels like he is just joking."
"Wait a moment."
Yu Xiaoshu interrupted and said, "Let him in."
Just like that, Dingge came in a little nervously.
"Your name is Dinger?"
Yu Xiaoshu asked Ding Ge.
Ding Ge nodded gently: "Yes, Teacher Yu, hello, my name is Ding Ge."
"You said you've been a supporting actor for 10 years? I saw your age on your resume is only 26..."
Sun Bo at the side asked, "You started playing minor roles at the age of 16?"
Ding Ge nodded gently: "Yes, I came to the imperial capital when I was 16 years old."
Sun Bo continued, "You've been playing supporting roles since you were 16. You've been doing this for 10 years. Don't you have any roles with more roles?"
"No, I haven't had any opportunities because of my bad image. I have been working as a stuntman for the past two years. I have been..."
Ding Ge talked about two famous TV series in which he was a stunt double.
But this doesn't add much.
In Sun Bo's opinion, if Ding Ge really has certain abilities, then after being a supporting actor for 10 years, he should have made some name for himself.
However, Yu Xiaoshu said with some delight: "So you have some martial arts skills?"
"I...I studied martial arts for three years."
Ding Ge said hurriedly: "That's why I can be a stunt double."
"Okay, good. How many abdominal rotations can you do on the bar?"
Yu Xiaoshu asked again.
Ding Ge was stunned. He didn't understand why he was asked this question, but he still answered honestly: "I haven't counted it."
"Oh, take a look at this plot first, and then..."
At this time, Yu Xiaoshu handed Ding Ge a few pieces of paper.
Ten minutes later, Yu Xiaoshu made the final decision: "Okay, it's you, Xiao Li, take him to sign the contract."
"ah??"
Ding Ge was indeed stunned at this time.
He was a little slow to react.
This is settled directly? ?
As for Sun Bo, he was also a little surprised, but he didn't say anything, because he knew that since Yu Xiaoshu had made the decision, there was naturally nothing to say.
Anyway, this is Yu Xiaoshu's work after all, and he has the final say.
Just like that, Ding Ge left the office with a confused look on his face, and then went to sign the contract with a confused look on his face. At the same time, because this needed to be kept confidential, Ding Ge did not tell anyone.
After leaving the Baiqian Media Building, Ding Ge still felt as if he was in a dream.
He never thought that he would actually get the leading role in the interview.
This is too dreamy.
Meanwhile, the interviews continued.
One week later, all the cast members for "Soldier Assault" were confirmed.
At this time, the second episode of "Sisters Riding the Wind and Waves" has been recorded.
Star City TV has announced that "Sisters Stand Up" will be broadcast on November 11th. At this time, Qidong TV also officially announced November 11th.
It’s still the familiar competition.
Star City TV does not take Qidong TV seriously. For Star City TV, "Sisters Stand Up" is their trump card variety show, and it will definitely win.
At the same time, not many people stand on the side of Qidong TV this time, because what is currently promoted based on "Sisters Stand Up" is better, and almost all the first-line and top female artists in the industry have gathered on this show.
The industry even called "Sisters Stand Up" the most explosive ace variety show in 2019. Obviously, Star City TV has spent a lot of money on marketing.
And just three days before the premiere, "Sisters Who Make Waves" finally made its official announcement.
Moreover, the official announcement is a big deal.
