"Yes! Mr. Hu Yibao!"
As soon as Hu Yibao finished speaking, the twenty teenagers immediately responded in unison.
All communication is in English.
It was only after arriving in Europe that Hu Yibao realized that many European children were proficient in two languages.
It’s not that they need to be very talented, but because the environment they live in is full of languages and they meet more people from different countries.
The environment enables them to master two or more languages even through self-study.
Sometimes, when you are on a European train, you might meet a teenager who is pushing a cart and selling goods and can communicate with you in several languages (the author encountered this on a German train).
Looking at the confident young people in front of me.
Hu Yibao smiled and then said, "Very good, then let's introduce each of you!"
"Hello, Mr. Hu Yibao, my name is Bourne, and I'm from Frankfurt. I want to play Frodo in The Lord of the Rings series." The first person on the left, a 1.8-meter-tall boy with blond hair, said to Hu Yibao.
The moment he finished speaking, Hu Yibao used his [Casting] ability and saw lines of small golden characters appear next to Bourne.
【Actor: Bourne】
Acting Skills: 65
【Matched character: Frodo】
[Match Degree: 72]
Seeing the match, Hu Yibao didn't need to look any further. He smiled and nodded at him, signaling the next person to introduce himself.
"Mr. Hu Yibao, my name is Crowley..."
【Actor: Crowley】
Acting Skills: 53
【Matched character: Frodo】
[Match: 76]
…
【Actor: George Bernard Shaw】
Acting Skills: 72
【Matched character: Frodo】
[Match: 81]
After reading the introduction of the last actor, Hu Yibao nodded to them.
"Okay, I've memorized each of your names. Now please go and audition."
"After the audition, we will respond within a week."
There are so many people auditioning for the "Lord of the Rings Series". Although Hu Yibao is able to use his casting skills to select the most suitable actors for the "Lord of the Rings Series".
But some formalities must be gone through.
Therefore, Hu Yibao specially arranged dozens of temporary assistant directors in the crew of "The Lord of the Rings Series" to be responsible for the auditions of the actors of "The Lord of the Rings Series", and there will be video recording on the scene.
Eventually, all these audition videos will be sent to Hu Yibao.
But Hu Yibao wouldn't even look at it. After all, the role he wanted had already been confirmed through the [Casting] ability.
Jiang Gangmeng, who was sitting next to Hu Yibao, had no objection to Hu Yibao's arrangement. He knew Hu Yibao's ability in choosing roles.
So far, there has been no mistake.
At the same time, he also knew that among this group of twenty young men, there was no one on Hu Yibao's side who met the requirements of Frodo.
I watched this group of actors leave quietly, and the next group of twenty actors arrived soon.
The next process is very simple.
Hu Yibao asked the actors to give a brief self-introduction while checking their role compatibility, and he didn't even look at the notes.
【Actor: Dale】
Acting Skills: 68
【Matched character: Frodo】
[Match: 85]
…
【Actor: Ed】
Acting Skills: 82
【Matched character: Frodo】
[Match: 92]
…
After interviewing hundreds of young men who wanted to audition for the role of Frodo, Hu Yibao only wrote down two names in his notebook.
Ed, match 92.
Xiao Ke, matching degree 93.
The matching degree is very good, reaching more than 90 points.
But Hu Yibao was still not satisfied.
However, if there is really no choice, the final actor for Frodo can be determined from among these two.
After Frodo's interview, Jiang Gangmeng looked at Hu Yibao's name on the paper and asked in confusion.
"Shock? Ed?"
"Just these two?"
"Yeah." Hu Yibao nodded. "Today's auditions for the actors who will play Frodo should be over. Next up is the auditions for the other actors."
In the "Lord of the Rings" series, there are 18 important characters alone. Each character has a distinct personality and can leave a deep impression on people.
If Hu Yibao wants to shoot "The Lord of the Rings Series" to the level he needs, he must ensure that these eighteen actors can meet the requirements.
There is no doubt that even with the [Casting] skill given by the system, Hu Yibao's next day will be quite busy.
That night, all the actors finished their auditions.
"Boss, this time, I'm afraid we really have to pick one out of ten thousand." Jiang Gangmeng said with emotion as he looked at the list handed over by Hu Yibao.
Three to four thousand people were interviewed today.
In the end, in order to speed up the process, Hu Yibao only asked them to say their names, and after saying their names, they went to audition with the deputy director of "The Lord of the Rings Series".
After interviewing so many people, there are only eight names on the list, which are considered the shortlist.
But the highest score is a match score of 94.
Even with such a score, Jiang Gangmeng knew that Hu Yibao would not be very satisfied.
"Only by finding actors suitable for the Lord of the Rings series can we make it a truly epic film," Hu Yibao said calmly. "Most of those who came to interview today are from Germany and Poland. We have contacted the actors' unions in dozens of countries across Europe."
"So, we don't need to worry about the actors."
Hu Yibao is very open-minded.
With so many people, there will always be someone suitable.
"Okay!" Jiang Gangmeng shrugged helplessly, not saying anything more about this matter, and changed the subject, "Boss, the construction team really invited a pastor to perform some rituals at the construction site."
"We must believe in science!" Hu Yibao shook his head.
Hu Yibao then found a reason and asked the props group to ask for a lot of things from the construction team.
These include hammers and pickaxes.
Carrying a hammer and a pickaxe, he ran a hundred kilometers away.
Then, Hu Yibao had another busy night.
The next day.
After sleeping in the tent for two or three hours, Hu Yibao rubbed his eyes and recalled the progress of the tunnel excavation. There was a hint of excitement in his tired look.
"Tonight, you can see the disappearing golden train."
The Golden Train was widely praised throughout Europe, and countless people believed in its existence. After the war, countless people searched all over Europe for its whereabouts.
"But in the end, it will fall into my hands." Hu Yibao said with a smile.
"I hope the treasure inside the golden train will bring me a surprise."
