Senior Superstar

The reason why Huaqi acquired Woodz Film and Television Investment Company is actually the relationship network of this established film company in Hollywood. Apart from this, there is actually nothing worthy of Zhao Jinzhi's 300 million holdings in Woodz.

But it turns out that with this layer of relationship network, it really saves a lot of things.

Went back to the dormitory with Zhang Shuo and went to bed early and got jet lagged. Early the next morning, Li Shixin received a call from Zhou Yi, saying that an audition had been arranged there, and Li Shixin had to pack up and hurry over.

At 8:30 in the morning, accompanied by Zhang Shuo, Li Shixin arrived at the P.W Film and Television Center located near the Hollywood Screen Actors Union.

In Hollywood, where there are many film and television bases, P.W Film and Television Center is not very eye-catching. Compared with Disney or Universal's digital studios, this place is obviously older.

As an independent movie theater completed in the last century, many parts of the movie theater have shown signs of dilapidation. However, because the venue is cheap enough, there are quite a few crews. Moreover, the studio is close to the actors' union, and there are many large production crews that have not yet started work. In order to facilitate actors' auditions, they set up audition studios here.

When Li Shixin and Zhang Shuo arrived at the gate of the studio, Zhou Yi was already waiting there.

Seeing the energetic Li Shixin, the little girl showed a sunny smile. After a warm greeting, he took Li Shixin straight to studio No. 6.

"Ms. Li, the audition is here. Because it is Gase, we don't know what the director's specific requirements are, but our company has invested in director Alan's works before, and that was when he first came to Hollywood to develop. Someone The emotional foundation is there, I believe he will not embarrass you particularly. But you have to be more careful, and you must not be careless.

Although the work "Doctor Strange II" has not yet started, it is very popular, and there are many competitors for each character. The audition information we received must have been received by other agencies. Recently, many Chinese stars from Mainland China and Hong Kong City want to come to Hollywood to develop, and you will definitely not be the only one who auditioned for this role.

And I learned last night that "Strange II" invited Mr. Yuan Ping, a well-known Hong Kong director, to be in charge of action direction, so Mr. Yuan is likely to be accompanied by Mr. Yuan in today's audition. This kind of fantasy hero movie is likely to test the actors' physical and action skills. At your age, you need to pay special attention to these. "

Yuan Baye is in charge of action guidance?

Standing at the entrance of the studio, listening to Zhou Yi's introduction, Li Shixin nodded slightly, and secretly cheered up.

However, he was not guilty of Zhou Yi's reminder.

Most of Li Shixin's previous works were feature films. But action scenes don't mean it's Li Shixin's weakness. Leaving aside the fact that the original body had served in the army, he had practiced some martial arts similar to military boxing in the army, so he had a solid foundation in this regard. In other words, in the past three years, Li Shixin has never abandoned the practice of battle marksmanship.

Although practicing marksmanship is not for filming, but just for strengthening the body, martial arts is actually a matter of continuously tempering the body through martial arts movements, so that the body's quality can be improved in an all-round way.

Li Shixin still has confidence in his current body, which has actually been reduced to 29 years old.

After waiting at the entrance of the studio with the audition form, Li Shixin saw the on-site staff responsible for the matchmaking come out to meet Zhou Yi.

I don't know what the two of them said, but after looking at Li Shixin for a while, the white boy beckoned.

"Come on."

"Ms. Li, let's go, let's go in."

Leaving Zhang Shuo at the entrance of the studio to wait, Li Shixin followed Zhou Yi into the studio.

Nuo Da's studio did not set up the scenery at this time, but a large space was separated by a tarpaulin in the middle of the studio. Under the bright lights, many actors waiting to audition have already gathered there.

Li Shixin raised his eyebrows when he walked to the waiting area with Zhou Yi.

Sure enough, as Zhou Yi said, there are quite a few oriental faces among the actors waiting for the audition.

It's just that I don't know whether these artists are Chinese American actors or the new generation of stars in Hong Kong City. Anyway, Li Shixin is not familiar with them.

And it may be because "Doctor Strange II" is a sequel, the main actors of the crew follow the previous work and do not need to audition again, and there are no big-name stars on the scene.

A group of actors competing for supporting roles were obviously not very enthusiastic. They were sitting on folding chairs. When they saw Li Shixin, a competitor, coming, they all just glanced casually, then lowered their heads to look at the audition in their hands. The watch is preparing for the audition.

Li Shixin secretly smiled when he saw everyone looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

From an actor's point of view, this kind of audition is really difficult. Not even a script or lines were given in the audition form, and there was no room for actors to design roles.

But Li Shixin has also been a director, and he is too clear about this kind of temporary role that just wants to please a certain part of the audience.

How to take such a role?

There is no need to show off your acting skills, just figure out which part of the audience the director wants to please, and then figure out what part of the audience likes and dislikes, and just design a character image that you can accept and love in your hands, and you must pass!

Looking at those chattering audition actors, Li Shixin shook his head.

Silly children, after all, they are still too young

Just as he was thinking this way, a staff member stood in front of the entrance of the audition waiting area and raised his hand.

"Doctor Strange II role audition starts now, Seshin, Lee!"

Hearing the on-site staff sing his name, Li Shixin quickly retracted his thoughts, stood up straight and walked over.

"You first."

In the eyes of everyone, Li Shixin took off his casual suit and handed it to Zhou Yi who was beside him. Following the staff strode into the audition area.

As soon as he stood in the audition area, he noticed that Baye Yuan, who was sitting in the judges' seat, was looking at him fixedly, and turned sideways to talk to Director Alan beside him.

The latter also had a serious look on his face, and set his eyes on Li Shixin.

Looking at the man in front of him, who was wearing a simple white bottoming short-sleeves, with a little gray head and slightly long hair pulled back casually, Director Alan raised his hand.

"You are Li Shixin? The director of "The Wandering Earth"?"

Yo.

Hearing the other party's question, Li Shixin blinked.

Heard of the old man?

Unexpectedly, Grandpa has just stepped into the arena of Hollywood, before there is a bloody storm, there are already legends about Grandpa in the arena?

With a slight smile, Li Shixin nodded.

"That's right, it's me."

After looking him up and down again, Director Alan nodded.

"I've seen your movie. Apart from your political stance, which was criticized by some Hollywood filmmakers, I think it's a very shocking and imaginative work."

"Thanks."

Hearing the other party's evaluation, Li Shixin chuckled.

"plum."

Looking fixedly at Li Shixin, Director Alan stood up and put his hands on the judges' table.

"Before the audition, I want to ask you a question."

"Please say."

Li Shixin spread his hands.

"As a director, you have already proved yourself with your box office. At least in your circle, you are considered a successful director. Why, you still stand here? As an actor"

Director Alan shrugged his shoulders and asked in disbelief, "Start all over again?"

Faced with this problem, Li Shixin was happy.

"I want to say that it was an accident that I became a director. It was entirely because I had no role to play and had no choice but to film my own movie. Do you believe it?"
