Hong Kong Comic Master

"Next one!"

Standing at the door, listening to the voices in the room, Zhou Xingxing felt his calves trembling with nervousness.

After Mao Shunyun announced the interview, everyone was looking forward to the interview notice.

However, one day, two days, three days...the notice did not come.

Just when everyone began to doubt whether this matter was reliable, the notice finally came.

Starting this Tuesday, the casting interview of "Chinese Little Chef God" officially started.

For a time, not only the students in the training class began to tell each other, but even the internal Qilin Entertainment Company was undercurrent, and everyone wanted to star in this TV series.

In fact, as early as two years ago, Li Wanshan had considered filming this TV series, but it was stranded because the timing was not right.

After all, Li Wannian was not optimistic about the ratings of this TV series, and the TV station was short of funds at the time, so he gave up.

This delay lasted for two years. Now Phoenix TV has established a firm foothold in Hong Kong Island and has sufficient funds. It can finally start to get involved in the field of costume dramas again.

This comic-adapted costume drama is the most suitable work. It does not require exquisite costumes and has a natural fan base. The only trouble is the special effects when cooking.

"Next, Zhou Xingxing!"

Finally, the casting director called Zhou Xingxing's name. Zhou Xingxing immediately shuddered and walked into the room stiffly.

Unlike the previous training class interview, there were two main people in this interview, one was the director Tan Jiaming and the other was the producer Xiao Sheng.

Xu Ke, who had previously taken a fancy to "Chinese Little Chef God", has now gone to Xinyicheng Company and become a film director, so this TV series fell on these two people.

Of course, although these two people are not well-known, they are also well-known figures in the circle.

First, Xiao Sheng, he was the director of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Return of the Condor Heroes" of Jiayi TV before, and he has a high level of qualifications.

Secondly, Tan Jiaming has been working as a field manager at TVB since 1967. He has been working hard for many years and is very experienced. He will become one of the new wave directors in Hong Kong in the future. His representative work "Famous Sword" is one of the symbols of the rise of the new wave.

It is a waste of talent for these two masters to direct such a small-investment comic adaptation drama.

"Hello, Director Tan, Producer Xiao! My name is Zhou Xingxing, and I am here to interview Liu Angxing!"

Although Zhou Xingxing was a little nervous and even stumbled when speaking, he was really ambitious and wanted to play the leading actor right away.

"Didn't you read the application requirements? Liu Angxing is only 13 years old, and we are looking for actors aged 12-16. You are almost 19 this year, which does not meet our requirements at all!"

"I know, but I have been reading this comic since I was a child and I like it very much, and I understand Liu Angxing much better than others!"

Zhou Xingxing wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Xiao Sheng.

"I see it says that you are from the backstage class, right? Why are you here for an interview?"

When Zhou Xingxing heard that the producer still asked this question, his face darkened, and he hesitated for a while before saying, "Because of my passion!"

"Passion?"

"Yes! I wanted to be a Kung Fu star like Bruce Lee since I was a child, so I have always been eager to be an actor. After failing the interview for the actor class, I joined the backstage class, but my desire to be an actor has never changed. I have been taking classes in the actor class. Maybe I am not good enough now, but I will continue to work hard. My desire to be an actor has never changed!"

After hearing this, Xiao Sheng nodded, but did not speak again, but looked at Tan Jiaming on the side.

"Come and act this part, I will cooperate with your lines!"

As he said, Tan Jiaming handed Zhou Xingxing a piece of paper, obviously willing to give Zhou Xingxing a chance.

"Thank...thank you director!"

Zhou Xingxing quickly took it with both hands and said excitedly.

There are not many lines. After reading it for a few minutes, Zhou Xingxing put the lines down.

"It's done so quickly?"

"These are the original words in the comics, I remember them all!"

In order to come to the interview, he didn't waste this week. He took out the comics again and read them carefully several times.

"Okay, let's get started!"

As soon as Tan Jiaming finished speaking, Zhou Xingxing knelt on one knee.

This made Tan Jiaming stunned for a moment, and then he reacted and said, "Liu Angxing, please tell me, what kind of meat is this?"

This sentence obviously came from Liu Angxing's first competition. The person asking the question was naturally Admiral Li. At that time, he had finished eating Liu Angxing and Shaoan's mapo tofu, and was surprised at why Liu Angxing could make the meat so crispy?

After hearing Tan Jiaming's words, Zhou Xingxing slowly stood up and scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Admiral, in fact, that is not meat at all!"

"What? Not meat?" Tan Jiaming stood up and said again, "What do you mean?"

"The secret is... this!"

Zhou Xingxing stretched out his hand and first bounced it into the air, then opened his hand.

"It's actually soybeans?"

"Soybeans, also known as 'meat in the field', I first boil the soybeans that have been soaked in water with broth, then flatten and crush them, and then use sauce to fully flavor them. The moisture and flavor of the sauce can make the soybeans absorb the flavor of the gravy..."

Then Zhou Xingxing's long lines are not only very smooth, without any stumbling, but also full of ups and downs, and full of emotion.

A voice actor who has been studying for half a year, Zhou Xingxing's current line skills are completely at a two-level level compared to ordinary amateurs.

Tan Jiaming and Xiao Sheng looked at each other, with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

"...So, at the end, they have to be fried in oil. Firstly, it can preserve the deliciousness of the sauce, and secondly, it can give the soybeans the right hardness, making the taste closer to meat..."

"Okay, stop it!"

Just when Zhou Xingxing was talking happily, Tan Jiaming interrupted Zhou Xingxing.

Zhou Xingxing, who was still immersed in it just now, immediately woke up and almost forgot that this was an interview!

"Can you cook?"

"meeting!"

"It's obvious that you really love comics and acting!"

"Yes, yes! So I hope the director can give me a chance!"

"Well, I will think about it. You can go back first and wait for notification!"

Zhou Xingxing was overjoyed when he heard the director said he would consider himself.

Although the director did not make a decision on the spot, he said that he would consider it, which means he would really consider it. Otherwise, he could just say, "You go back and wait for notification." Why bother?

After thanking him repeatedly, Zhou Xingxing was ready to leave. At this time, he was filled with joy and wanted to share the good news with everyone immediately.

"Wait a moment!"

However, just as he turned to leave and his hand was about to touch the door handle, producer Xiao Sheng's voice sounded behind him.

Zhou Xingxing's heart suddenly sank.

Is there something else going on?
