Entertainment Godfather

After dinner, the crew returned to Star Media.

The audition for the protagonist was scheduled today, so Mai Yingjie, Luoyang, and Xiao Yan all sat in the room early.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the first of the three actors to audition, Zhou Xuan, the popular young actor, rushed over.

"Hello, Director Mai! Hello, teachers!"

As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Xuan greeted everyone present.

Zhou Xuan is very handsome, with fair skin, long eyebrows, sharp eyes, and soft facial lines.

Mai Yingjie nodded and said with a smile: "Zhou Xuan, last time you played the role of the prince in my movie "The Court of the Ming Dynasty" with great tension, so I want you to try this role this time."

Luoyang understood clearly. It turned out that they had collaborated before. No wonder Mai Yingjie would send an audition invitation to Zhou Xuan.

"Thank you, Director Mai!"

Zhou Xuan nodded seriously.

Mai Yingjie stood up and said: "The script is still being written, but I informed you before, so we will try that scene according to the original script."

The scene that Mai Yingjie is talking about is the scene when Mei Changsu and Prince Jing meet for the first time. This scene requires very high acting skills for the role of Mei Changsu, because Mei Changsu needs to hide a lot of emotions when facing Prince Jing. Make a certain disguise.

Mak Yingjie came to complete Prince Jing's part himself.

This made Luoyang nod secretly. So far, the director is still very dedicated.

An audition is actually a monologue. You finish a certain paragraph according to the lines and then judge based on your overall performance, or the examiner may put forward some other requirements. However, Zhou Xuan was auditioning for the protagonist, so Mai Yingjie acted opposite him in person. Ordinary characters did not get this treatment.

"let's start."

Mai Yingjie's expression became serious and he stared at Zhou Xuan: "Who...are you?"

"Neither the Crown Prince nor Prince Yu are my friends. They are trying to recruit me." Zhou Xuan did not answer the question directly.

He changed his voice and said: "Do you know how Langya Pavilion evaluates me? The talent of Qilin can conquer the world. If I don't even know about these major things that happened to the princes, how can I be regarded as a Qilin? Where is the talent?"

"So, you are deliberately collecting secrets and information in this area to save money for your future actions?"

"That's right. What's wrong with being a Qilin? If you are trusted by others and make great achievements, you might even be able to be listed in the Imperial Ancestral Temple in the future and be famous for eternity."

Mai Yingjie said coldly: "So sir, do you want to choose the crown prince or the prince?"

Zhou Xuan said with a serious expression: "I want to choose you, His Highness Prince Jing."

Everyone was silent for a long time before Mai Yingjie shook his head and said helplessly: "It still tastes a little bad. Zhou Xuan, please go back and wait for notification."

A trace of disappointment flashed across Zhou Xuan's face. He also knew that his performance was still a bit lacking. The reason why he excelled in Mai Yingjie's last drama was because the character was similar to his own.

But now that Mai Yingjie said this, he probably wouldn't have a chance.

However, he was still a little sad to lose the opportunity to play Mei Changsu.

Although Star Media is a new company, the investment in this drama is not small, and with Luoyang, the original screenwriter of "Those Years", many people are optimistic about the prospects of this drama.

Luoyang nodded slightly.

After his observation, he found that director Mai Yingjie was still worth working with.

In the audition just now, Mai Yingjie mastered Prince Jing's tone very well. If you ignore the appearance, it is completely professional level. In fact, there are not many directors with this kind of ability.

In addition, for Zhou Xuan, it is actually not easy to achieve this step.

He is about 20 years old, and it is difficult to figure out the flavor of Mei Changsu, because he is a character who has returned from hell, and there is a heavy weight in it.

After Zhou Xuan left, Mai Yingjie said with a wry smile: "It seems that I am out of imagination. Zhou Xuan's strength is not enough. Although he works hard, there are some things that need to be settled after all."

Several people in Luoyang also agreed.

"Huang Shunyu is here."

Not long after, a staff member reminded.

Mai Yingjie nodded: "Well, let him come in."

Soon, Huang Shunyu walked in, with his dyed yellow hair standing on end and wearing a fancy shirt.

Luoyang wanted to laugh a little. Did this person just come from the set of an idol drama? Dressed up like this, he came here so embarrassed?

"Hello, Director Mai."

Huang Shunyu greeted Mai Yingjie.

On the right side of Luoyang, Xiao Yan frowned slightly. Zhou Xuan knew how to say hello to teachers before, but Huang Xuan seemed to only have eyes for director Mai Yingjie.

"let's start."

This time Mak Yingjie didn't waste any time and acted directly opposite Huang Shunyu.

"who are you?"

Huang Shunyu said: "Neither the prince nor Prince Yu is my friend, they are trying to recruit me."

He changed his voice and said: "Do you know how Langya Pavilion evaluates me? Qilin's talent can conquer the world. If I don't even know about these major things that have happened to the princes, how can I be anything? Where is the talent of Qilin?”

…

Luoyang's expression gradually became serious.

He discovered that this Huang Shunyu actually acted out some of the flavor.

Xiao Yan's expression also changed slightly, and Huang Shunyu's appearance was also very handsome. In addition, he was already twenty-eight years old this year, which gave him some advantages over Zhou Xuan.

Mai Yingjie asked: "So sir, do you want to choose the crown prince or the prince?"

Zhou Xuan's expression became serious and he said, "I want to choose you, His Highness Prince Jing."

…

The scene ends here.

After a slight silence, Mai Yingjie said: "Not bad, Huang Shunyu, you should go back and wait for the notice from our crew."

Huang Shunyu nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go back first."

After Huang Shunyu left, Mai Yingjie said, "Shuai Luo, Director Xiao, how about this one?"

"not bad."

Xiao Yan nodded: "He is a very talented actor. His acting skills have been criticized before. I am afraid that he did not act seriously. Moreover, it is difficult to use his acting skills in idol dramas themselves."

Mai Yingjie looked at Luoyang again.

Luoyang was silent for a while, then said: "Just reached the passing mark."

Compared with the one in the previous life, it is obviously worse, but Huang Shunyu did give a five-point performance, which fell into the category of neither disappointment nor surprise, barely reaching the passing mark.

This is the most embarrassing situation——

If Luoyang said that his acting was not good, that would be a bit of a nitpick.

But to say that Huang Shunyu's performance is very good, that's not necessarily true.

A critical point can be passed with a nod, or passed with a shake of the head.

A staff member walked into the door and said, "Yi Bai is here too."

Mai Yingjie nodded: "Then let's see the third place's performance."

Luoyang also agreed, and soon Yi Bai walked in.

"Hello, teachers."

After entering the door, Yi Bai said hello naturally.

Mai Yingjie said, "Does Yi Bai know which scene to try?"

Yi Bai nodded: "I know."

Mai Yingjie stood up and said with a smile: "Then let's start first."

…

"who are you?"

"Neither the Crown Prince nor Prince Yu are my friends, they are trying to recruit me."

…

Yi Bai's performance is actually very good.

But his own temperament couldn't match the one in Luoyang's memory.

After the performance, Mai Yingjie spoke again: "Yi Bai, please go back and wait for our news."

A trace of disappointment flashed across Yi Bai's face. He naturally knew that his positioning was slightly different from that of Mei Changsu, but he still wanted to give it a try. He really wanted to win this role.

But right now, it seems that my attempt has failed——

That's right.

He is a film and television singer.

But this also resulted in Yi Bai having no real masterpieces in the three fields.

Singing is still his main profession, but the peak of a singer is far inferior to that of an actor.

He is still somewhere between an idol and a powerful actor, and he urgently needs an excellent work to prove himself, and Mei Changsu is the best opportunity.

But if he couldn't choose, he had no choice but to endure the disappointment, maintain his usual demeanor, and said with a smile: "I'd like to trouble Director Mai and all the teachers, I'll go back first."

He went to the door.

But just as he was about to open the door, a man's voice came from behind him.

"Yi Bai, wait a moment."

Yi Bai was stunned and turned his head.

The one who spoke turned out to be Luoyang, who had been silent.

Everyone in the field looked at Luoyang, wondering what he wanted to do by calling Yi Bai.

"Teacher Luo, what's the matter?"

Yi Bai said with some surprise that he knew Luoyang. The latter was the original author of "Langya Bang" and a famous martial arts master in the Dragon Kingdom. Yi Bai had also checked his information.

Luoyang smiled and said: "I want to ask, besides Mei Changsu, have you ever considered playing Prince Jing?"
