Audition scene for "Half a Day".
Only Wei Xuan and Shang Yechu came to audition for the lead role. After all, Wei Xuan was practically a shoo-in, and no one had the audacity of Shang Yechu to dare to come to the audition and compete with him.
Even the consultant sent by Ruguan TV's production team tacitly agreed that Shang Yechu was just going through the motions. Before coming, Ji Juntao quietly told Shang Yechu that Ruguan TV had already sent over the script for the villainous female supporting character.
They've really stopped acting altogether.
The audition required absolute confidentiality, and Shang Yechu's phone was taken away, leaving her idly flipping through the information Ji Juntao had provided.
There were four interviewers: the director, the screenwriter, the executive producer, and the producer.
The screenwriter was naturally Zheng Bohan. The executive producer and producer were both sent by Ruguan TV. The executive producer was Liu Zihang, the director of Ruguan Film and Television Center, and the producer was Zhang Chen, an advisor to Ruguan Film and Television Center. Ji Juntao obtained photos, biographies, and acting preferences of these people for Shang Yechu, and told Shang Yechu to memorize them thoroughly.
The only mystery was the director; Ji Juntao couldn't find out who he was. He could only tell Shang Yechu to be careful.
In addition to the main actors, there were also two male actors present at the audition. They are the male lead and the second male lead of the drama, respectively playing Li Yiming's partner Li Ruhui and Li Yiming's boss Lu Huaizhang.
Actresses auditioning for the female lead role need to act opposite these two actors. If the acting goes well with these two actors, it will be a plus.
The actors for the male lead and second male lead have already been cast. The actor playing the male lead, Li Ruhui, is Shi Shan, a well-known "acting fanatic." He holds a high position in the industry. Rumors suggest he's a wealthy heir from the Beijing entertainment circle, with no financial worries, and acting is his only passion. He only considers whether the role suits his taste, not the billing order.
Shang Yechu scoffed at this. In the entertainment industry, where are there any big shots who are as indifferent as chrysanthemums? If it weren't for the subject matter of "Half of the Sky," Shi Shan would definitely be vying for this billing order.
The actor playing the second male lead, Lu Huaizhang, is veteran actor Xue Haodong. Mr. Xue is over sixty years old, with two thick, fleshy cheeks, but his eyes are narrowed like those of a Maitreya Buddha. He's a specialist in playing high-ranking officials in film and television dramas. He can portray a compassionate and upright official, or a corrupt and incompetent one, capable of depicting all sorts of despicable and greedy officials. His skill in playing officials is unparalleled.
Whether it was Shi Shan or Xue Haodong, it was Ruguan TV that personally sent people to negotiate and then made the final decision.
Shang Yechu felt a pang of envy. Getting a desired role without competition isn't something that can be achieved simply by having good acting skills or enough money…
On the other hand, Wei Xuan didn't even need to compete. Shang Yechu stuck to him like a leech.
Upon realizing this, Shang Yechu gave a self-deprecating smile.
The interview was scheduled for 9:00 AM. Wei Xuan arrived ten minutes before the interview was scheduled to begin.
Upon hearing the noise, Shang Yechu quickly stood up and extended her hand to shake hands with Wei Xuan: "Hello, Teacher Wei."
Wei Xuan responded enthusiastically to Shang Yechu: "Little Yechu? You're here so early..."
