After the concert in Jiangcheng ended, Zhou Yiyang gave a holiday to all the staff related to the tour.
Zhou Yiyang himself started the official filming of the new movie.
In terms of casting, he did not limit himself to artists from his own company this time.
For this purpose, Bai Yangyu also held a casting meeting specifically for Zhou Yiyang.
Yue Shao and the other three naturally also received the script.
“Tokyo Godfathers?”
Su Yin habitually looked at the title first, and then felt something strange.
She knew what Tokyo and Godfather were, but when they were put together she was confused.
Could it be that this is a story about the underworld that takes place in Tokyo?
When Tang Yue looked at the title of the movie, many thoughts emerged in her mind.
What kind of story would this be? Moreover, Zhou Yiyang hadn't held a public casting for a movie for a long time, which made them all feel a little surprised.
Could it be that this is a movie that Zhou Yiyang values very much?
As a practical person, Lin Xuaner opened the script directly.
There are three main characters, two men and one woman.
For them, there is nothing wrong with wanting a sole female protagonist.
She first glanced at the character's introduction, then put the notebook aside.
She is totally unsuitable for the role.
Wang Xingrui is very self-aware. She thinks it’s good to play a supporting role and show her face.
Moreover, playing a supporting role does not distract me from the tour, so it is a good choice.
Three days later, the casting for the movie "Tokyo Godfathers" began.
Zhou Yiyang, the director and producer, sat in the middle. On his right was investor Ning Mang, and on his left was an assistant director, who was also a newcomer Zhou Yiyang discovered at the first film festival.
The three of them seemed very friendly, but the actors who came to interview for the roles did not have an easy time.
Now that "Charlotte's Troubles" is still in theaters, its strong box office performance is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for this casting conference.
All three films directed by Zhou Yiyang, excluding co-productions, have grossed over 1 billion yuan.
This result is terrible. There are many superstitious people in the entertainment industry, and many of them come without even reading the script.
Because in the eyes of many people, Zhou Yiyang is a guarantee of box office success, and any movie he shoots will be a hit.
"I stayed up all night to finish reading the script," Ning Mang whispered. "The content is completely different from what I first saw the title. However, I must admit that this is definitely a good movie. I was moved by it."
"I've read the script, too," the assistant director sniffed, as if still immersed in the story. "I love this kind of heartwarming story. It has a touch of fairy tale, a suspenseful element, a heartwarming plot, and positive values. Mr. Zhou, I believe your film will be a hit at the box office and be a critical success."
Although he is his own employee and there is a suspicion of flattery, Zhou Yiyang himself also likes this story very much.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to exchange the script specifically for filming.
The original "Tokyo Godfathers" was an animated film, but now that it has been adapted into a live-action movie, casting is particularly important.
Zhou Yiyang and the other two were sitting in a closed empty room, not knowing how many actors were outside auditioning.
He thought for a moment, then turned to look at the staff in the corner: "Please help me see how many people are queuing outside?"
The staff nodded and followed Zhou Yiyang's orders to go out.
When the door was opened, the staff was almost startled by the bustling crowd.
He really didn't expect that so many people would come to audition today.
Tang Yue and Su Yin had also arrived at the scene. They looked at each other and regretted not coming earlier.
All the available seats in the hall were already occupied, so they could only find a place to stand.
If they had come a little later, they would probably have had to go out and queue up.
Thinking of the scorching sun outside, the two shuddered:
"Why are there so many people auditioning?"
Su Yin glanced around and unexpectedly saw many familiar faces here.
At least several actors who are familiar to people all over the country are here.
It is a very rare scene for actors of their level to come for auditions.
"Don't we have too many competitors this time?" Tang Yue said bluntly. She and Su Yin had their eyes on the same role, so they were also competitors. At times like these, only strength could speak for itself. "I now think Xuan'er and Ruirui were quite foresighted."
"Yeah," Su Yin nodded. "I think nine out of ten actresses here are here for the roles we've chosen."
At this moment, Lin Xuaner and Wang Xingrui were holding hands and shopping in a high-end and secretive shopping mall.
Besides touring, they both have other things to do.
Zhou Yiyang had previously promised them a personal album, which has now been put on the agenda.
The time for recording new songs would definitely conflict with filming the movie. After thinking about it, both of them chose to give up the movie.
The staff member returned to the room, leaned over to Zhou Yiyang, and described the lively scene outside, and specifically mentioned which famous actors were also there.
When the assistant director heard these well-known names auditioning, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised and a little scared: "When I review them, will they think they are unqualified?"
Zhou Yiyang smiled and shook his head: "How is that possible? Actors and directors are two completely different roles. Our responsibility is to guide and assist the actors."
