Stars of China Entertainment

The casting director looked up, adjusted his glasses, and finally there was a hint of sparkle in his eyes.

After the poor performance of the previous interviewer, Cheng Shuo made him feel at ease as soon as he showed up.

The most important thing in casting is appearance, and Cheng Shuo undoubtedly won at the starting line.

Holding up the resume in front of him, the casting director kept rubbing his chin.

This performance experience is somewhat clean, the only outstanding thing is the top five results in "Dream of Red Mansions".

"I see that you have won the top five in "A Dream of Red Mansions", so you should be able to pick up a supporting role. Why is there no more work?"

He asked this question casually, as if he were chatting with someone at home.

Ke Cheng Shuo Hui was careful, if he said he was not satisfied with the character, he would be labeled as having his eyes above his head.

If you are said to be brushed off, your points will be greatly reduced.

This is just like an ordinary company interview. You can neither say that you lack ability nor speak ill of your previous company.

"There were some changes in the draft, and I feel that starring in "Dream of Red Mansions" is not in line with my career plan."

When he said this, the casting director couldn't help laughing.

During this period, the Red Mansions crew has received much attention and occupied a lot of space, so naturally he knew something about it.

The first half of Cheng Shuo's sentence implicitly explained the reason, but the second half aroused his curiosity again.

The Cheng Shuo in front of me is an amateur, and it is really laughable to mention the term "career planning" when he is new to the industry.

However, seeing his serious look, the casting director gave him a high look. He raised his expectations a little and asked, "Do you have any career plans? Which role did you audition for?"

"Chonglou."

The term "career expectations" that Cheng Shuo mentioned was not made out of nothing, he had indeed made adequate preparations.

Walking forward, he took out his notebook from his pocket and handed it to the table in front of the three of them.

"This is a biography I wrote."

The casting director had enough time to look through it and was not surprised.

Biographies are a bonus in casting, and they might have been a little surprising a few years ago, but in the past two years, if someone didn't bring a bio of a few hundred words, they might not even be able to pass the preliminary audition.

But even with this mentality, the casting director was surprised for a moment when he saw the densely packed small regular script.

After flipping through a few pages, Cheng Shuo actually filled up the knuckle-thick notebook with writing.

Before he even asked, Cheng Shuo took the lead and said, "I like the Fairy Sword series very much and have played every one. I was very impressed by the scene of the Well of Gods and Demons in the third part, so

I have a soft spot for the character Chonglou.”

The casting director passed the character to the hands of the people around him, then raised his head and looked at Cheng Shuo's figure.

Her eyebrows and temples are sharp and angular, and her face is very aggressive. She is very close to the character Chonglou.

Since taking the stage, he has done very little. Apart from stepping forward to deliver biographies, he just stands there.

He looked tall, but not unusually tall. However, he unconsciously moved downwards, giving rise to an arrogant temperament as if he was in a high position.

The casting director couldn't help but nodded, "Please pull up and have a look."

When Cheng Shuo heard this, he stood with his legs side by side, his arms spread out leisurely, and his eyes followed the stretching of his arms.

A connoisseur will know if he is there as soon as he makes a move. As soon as he made this move, the corner of the casting director's mouth curled up leisurely: "Not bad, what kind of talent do you bring?"

"What I brought here is a Changquan performance." Cheng Shuo finally relaxed and said in a deep voice: "Teachers, please wait a moment, I will warm up first."

After saying that, without waiting for anyone's reaction, he started to warm up on his own on the stage.

Seeing his familiar appearance, the three of them couldn't help but laugh and cry.

However, deep down in my heart, I secretly gave him a lot of impression points. This calm and natural appearance is completely different from that of a newcomer.

Then I picked up the resume that Cheng Shuo handed over and saw that there was nothing in his acting experience. I couldn't help but secretly admired him, this is the person who was born to eat this kind of rice.

Most interviewers are nervous and cannot fully utilize their abilities.

What's more, it's like the last interviewer, who looked like his bladder was exploding after holding in his urine.

Cheng Shuo's performance of neither being humble nor overbearing has already overwhelmed 90% of the interviewees.

The casting director was not in a hurry and re-read the biographies written by Cheng Shuo with great interest.

It has only been five years since Sword and Sword III was launched, and Daewoo has not yet perfected the characters. The character analysis of Chonglou should not have so much space.

Cheng Shuo was able to write so much mainly because he used a lot of relationship diagrams and analysis of other characters to fill in the blanks.

This method not only did not attract criticism from the casting director, but also attracted frequent nods from the casting director.

"I'm ready."

The casting director put down his notebook and said, "Let's get started."

Cheng Shuo didn't care about Hu. He took a deep breath, stomped, put his hands on his waist, and when he moved, there was a thumping sound under his feet.

The stage was made of hollow wooden boards, and he stomped on the ground, making a series of explosions.

After getting up, he moved slowly, forming a palm with one hand and slowly closing his fingers into a fist. With the extremely slow movement, the force exerted by each finger could be clearly seen.

Unconsciously, everyone's eyes were attracted to the movements of his hands.

This opposition between light and heavy forms a very clear analogy.

In the next movement, he stood on one leg, bent the other leg, and placed the instep of his foot in the knee socket of the upright leg. A difficult balancing act was displayed in front of the three of them.

Slowly sit down with one leg supported, and then slowly rise again, showing strong balance ability.

After the soothing movements, he took a breath, and stillness and movement changed rapidly.

Like a flying falcon, it holds a lotus in place and rotates 540 degrees in the air.

Before the spectators could scream in surprise, he didn't stop after landing, and immediately jumped into the air with four consecutive steps.

The rotor rotated 720 degrees, and under the astonished eyes of everyone, it kept moving and seamlessly performed a whirlwind kick.

The movements are smooth, pleasing to the eye, and overwhelming.

It was good to give it up, Cheng Shuo did not continue, gave a hug and bowed to end.

The audience suddenly burst into applause.

Looking at the shining eyes of the three people, Cheng Shuo was a little dissatisfied.

In his previous life, he participated in "Qi Men Dun Jia". Although the film was not very good, Yuan Baye's martial arts skills are really not to be criticized.

He got acquainted with Xie Miao at that time and studied for a while during his free time.

In addition, I had some background in Peking Opera when I was young, and my hard work allowed me to perform admirably.

Although his physical fitness is better now than it was more than ten years ago, the limitations of coordination and proficiency still do not allow him to fully master it.

Even though he tried hard to control his breathing, his chest still rose and fell uncontrollably.

He had seen Xie Miao's drill, where the spinner turned 720 and then the whirlwind kick 720 and fell to the ground. This was probably a height he would never reach in his life.

"Not bad, not bad." The casting director was busy for a few days, and his palms were red after the first filming.

He finally made up his mind about Cheng Shuo's "career plan".

In terms of conditions, the Cheng Shuo in front of him was already outstanding.

Sitting under the stage, there was a terrain difference between the top and bottom, and because of Cheng Shuo's deliberate overlooking perspective, he even subconsciously ignored the height issue.

"You act out this part."

With that said, the casting director handed over a script.

Cheng Shuo took it and tried to breathe evenly.

His eyes fell on the book. This paragraph described the scene where Chonglou had just appeared and fought against Qingwei.

The role of Chonglou is generally more eye-catching in martial arts and has a lot of length. Although this scene is not outstanding, it is also his first appearance, which can test the compatibility between the interviewer and the character.

Before he could continue, Cheng Shuo was ready to start the show.

The term "career planning" he said was not empty talk, he had indeed charted a route for himself.

And Fairy Sword Three is an extremely important step.

Compared to other companies, Sugarman prefers to hire new people, and its works are eye-catching.

Before the interview, he had gone through the plot several times in his mind and already knew the direction of the story.

Among them, the scenes in Chonglou are listed down, and each section is re-interpreted in its own way.

Just like at this moment, he stood with his hands behind his back, condescending, and the few words "disdain" in the script were vividly interpreted by him.

This section is different from the story in the game, but it is very reasonable.

It seems that Chonglou should have this attitude.

And it is hard to imagine that even if there is no actor opposite him, he can still show his aloof and cold temperament.

When he suddenly opened his mouth and read the lines, it seemed that not only the character he played came to life, but also an invisible Qingwei appeared in front of him to play with him.

He didn't move his gaze, but seemed to be looking at the humble figure with his peripheral vision.

Disdain, helplessness and contempt, a few subtle movements made the character stand up.

"Okay, that's enough."

The casting director rubbed his eyebrows and felt a little confused. Although he was very satisfied with Cheng Shuo, he also knew the arrangement of the team.

Director Li Zhongzhi has been actively contacting potential actors for the role of Chong Lou, and has not relaxed his tone at all. As for this open casting, it can be seen as an alternative plan left after Huang Zhiwei was not invited.

Whether he was satisfied or not, Li Zhongzhi ultimately had to make the decision.

Satisfied with Cheng Shuo's performance, he subconsciously looked at each other and the two people around him nodded.

As an important step in casting, several people have come into contact with the original work.

Faced with Cheng Shuo's performance, everyone thought about it for a long time and found no faults.

Whether it's a performance, a talent show, or even his calm and unhurried way of speaking, it all fits the role of Chonglou perfectly.

As if him not playing Chung Lou was a big loss to the crew, thinking of this, the casting director sighed: "Let me tell you clearly, director Li Zhongzhi contacted Wan Wan actor Huang Zhiwei, you have to give me a reason to let me

Send you to the director."

Cheng Shuo was not surprised. As Chonglou was one of the main characters, Li Zhongzhi naturally had several candidates in his mind.

However, now only the game version is circulating, without makeup, no one knows the condition.

Although Huang Zhiwei's height of 1.9cm is very oppressive, his body shape is too strong and his face is too broad compared to the character, making him look more domineering than aloof.

Even if Li Zhongzhi had been in contact with him for a long time, Cheng Shuo thought that he would still be able to compete.

"I have played the original game and have a deep understanding of the characters."

The casting director shook his head, "The filming of TV series will involve a lot of adaptations of the original works, which is not an absolute advantage."

"My lines are more standard than those of Wanwan actors."

"We can do the dubbing."

Cheng Shuo wrinkled his nose, and his calm demeanor since taking the stage finally broke. He said with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "I'm cheap."

"Okay, let's go back and wait for the news."
