for Advance Chapter
Wu Mingxuan is the only one auditioning, and he is the one who has the final say. The others are just watching the excitement and seeing how he selects people. Anyway, now we have just made a rough list, and who will be in the future still needs to be discussed by everyone. This is the rule of the industry.
Yang Yongqing is of course here now, and Huo Wenxi, there are also many people from the Hong Kong circle who came to participate in the audition today. This time, we need a lot of real talents, and there is no upper limit. As long as you don't talk about money, I can use up all the people you come.
The four actresses and the two actresses have all arrived, and the two actresses have been decided. They have accompanied Wu Mingxuan for such a long time, and they have worked hard. Moreover, they are both top-notch in terms of voice, color, and art, so there is naturally no big problem.
As the first female star of the new generation in Hong Kong, Cecilia Cheung's costume looks also made many people present brighten their eyes, so there is naturally no problem, and they were basically selected smoothly.
But the situation of the four major actresses is not very optimistic. International Zhang was directly passed and could not even get in. Zhao Wei's appearance is average, and her voice is very defective. Wu Mingxuan really thinks that her acting skills are mediocre, and she relies entirely on the support of her peers.
Xu Cainü's ancient costume was too ordinary, her modern one was okay, but Wu Mingxuan obviously didn't like it, so he passed her as well. The last character, Xun Ge'er, was okay, so he was retained for the time being.
Then there are the big and medium-sized actresses. There are not many who have come to the fore now. Many of them are predecessors that Wu Mingxuan has no impression of. The ones who have a slight impression are Gao Yuanyuan, Dong Jie, Dong Xuan, Sun Li, Zhang Jingchu, Han Xue, Xu Qing, Li Xiaolu, Qin Lan and a few others.
It can be said that the actresses of this period, except for the four Dan and Shuang Bing, are mainly from Hong Kong and Taiwan, such as Lin Chiling, Jia Jingwen, Xiong Dailin, Shu Qi, Lin Jiaxin, Twins and some 70s flowers.
Wu Mingxuan is naturally not very satisfied with these. He just circled some of the online registrations with good looks and acting skills. He can cooperate with them in the future, but forget about this time. He still thinks Liu Yifei is the most suitable.
Next came several young people in the industry who were not qualified but received invitations to audition. Among them were Liu Yifei, Bai Bing, and Li Qin.
Wu Mingxuan did not contact Liu Shishi and Tang Yan because they were too far behind. Yang Mi has not been contacted yet, but she is said to be waiting for news. If she is left alone for a few days, she will be able to sign a contract with her and let her be Li Qin's foot washer.
The audition lasted from 1pm to nearly 8pm, and finally all the more than 30 people who came to audition today were finished.
In fact, there are still about 20 people who haven't auditioned yet, but they can only wait until tomorrow. Only after a large-scale professional audition, you will find that there are really many A-list and super-A-list stars from both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and the number has exceeded three digits.
Although Liu Yifei finished the audition at around 5 pm, Liu Xiaoli saw that everyone else was waiting and still dragged her daughter to wait until the end. As a result, the audition will continue tomorrow and the results will not be announced for the time being, so they can only go home and wait for the news.
Yang Yongqing arrived the day before yesterday. She herself is not used to the courtyard house, but Wu Mingxuan seems to like it very much, so she can only live here with him. After watching the audition for a day, she is also a little curious about who Wu Mingxuan likes this time.
"It doesn't matter if it's a minor supporting role, other people may not want to play it, so basically we will focus on quasi-first-tier actors who haven't established themselves on the big screen yet. As
for the female lead, I already have a target, and she is the most suitable at this stage, but whether to let her play the role will depend on how we discuss it later. As
for the male artistes, I'm still planning to take a look at the leading role, and I can give some of the others to young actors from the mainland. After all, China Film Group and Huayi Film Group are the big players. What does Uncle think?"
"Uncle means to let Ting Feng play the male lead, and give Ah Lok some role as well."
Wu Mingxuan actually wanted to support Koo. In terms of acting skills, Yu Wenle and Xie Bi Wang Jin together were not Koo's opponents. At that time, Koo was still very capable, with good looks and personality.
Wu Mingxuan didn't see anything that would impress him in the mainland. Lao Hu was not suitable to play the Monkey King. Lao Hu was still following the idol route and was too thin.
"Let's choose Louis Koo. I think he's good. Ask Uncle. Tingfeng is too short. It's hard to act with others. He can't play the explosive feeling I want. Ah Lok... is just a low-profile version of Louis Koo. Why don't I use a better one?"
Yang Yongqing didn't really believe Wu Mingxuan's words. Instead, she felt that Wu Mingxuan didn't want to give the most important male lead to the artist from Emperor Entertainment Group, so he chose Louis Koo who was acceptable to all parties.
Yang Shoucheng did not think much about Wu Mingxuan's choice. He did not know Wu Mingxuan's real trump card, and he did not think that Wu Mingxuan had no loyalty to Emperor Entertainment Group from the beginning. So he just thought that Wu Mingxuan simply chose the one he thought was most suitable.
Jackie Chan and Andy Lau have worked with Louis Koo before, and they have a good impression of him and speak highly of him, so they agree with Wu Mingxuan's choice.
China Film and Huayi can't do anything about it. This is the current situation. Some supporting roles can be given up, but it is impossible for him to be the protagonist. Even Wu Mingxuan can't do it. After all, his foundation is in the Hong Kong circle, not the Beijing circle.
There are many people living in Wu Mingxuan's courtyard house now, so it is not convenient to make an appointment at his own home. Wu Mingxuan took Li Xue to make an appointment at Li Bingbing's large flat near Guomao. Li Bingbing was naturally there too, but after the Liu mother and daughter entered the house, she pulled her sister into the inner room, leaving the venue empty.
As soon as she got back to the room, Li Bingbing asked very seriously: "Is this the girl that Brother Xuan really favors?"
"Yes, I was the one who delivered the invitation letter myself. I didn't want anyone from Hong Kong or Taiwan, or anyone who was older... Hehe, I didn't say you, sister. I said the others. Anyway, she was the only one left to choose from in the end. But it may not be easy to play the leading role."
Li Bingbing nodded. Although this is only the first film to be filmed, it is a very large series. When signing, it must be a long-term contract. Otherwise, I have made you famous, but you asked for a high price. How can I shoot later? The supporting roles can be replaced, but I can't replace the male and female protagonists, right?
"This is the contract. Take a look first. Oh, there's also the script. Let's read it together and decide whether to sign it after you've finished reading it."
