This star’s style is wrong

Chapter 494 The most difficult second female lead to cast

Qianhong Entertainment Agency.

Lin Yingxue spent two days reading the script given by Fang Xing and came to the company to discuss it with her agent.

She is now the most popular artist in Qianhong Entertainment, so she is directly led by the artist director.

"Mr. Hong, I read the script of Ark Culture's new drama and I want to act in it." She directly expressed her thoughts.

Because she is the most popular artist in Qianhong Entertainment, she has a high status in the company. Even the company's top executives support her.

After being nominated for the Eagle Award for Best Actress this year, her status is more stable.

Hong Changbin asked in confusion: "Isn't Fang Xing's new drama set to star Song Li?"

Although this news has not been officially announced yet, it has already spread throughout the circle.

Lin Yingxue explained: "I want to play the second female lead."

For Lin Yingxue now, she has a stack of scripts to choose from, all of which feature female leads.

Of course, in the dramas in which Fang Xing and Song Li collaborate, even the second female lead is more valuable than the first female lead in other film and television projects.

Hong Changbin thought for a moment and said, "It's okay to be the second female lead for Song Li. Have you reached an agreement with Fang Xing?"

Lin Yingxue shook her head and replied: "Not yet. Fang Xing has always been very demanding in selecting actors. Without an audition, it is impossible to decide."

"What role? Let the company team study the script and role to see if it is suitable." Hong Changbin felt that this job was very important and needed to be discussed in a meeting.

Lin Yingxue quickly added: "I have something to mention. The second female lead is a villain."

Hong Changbin suddenly frowned with a surprised expression on his face.

The casting of Fang Xing's new drama can be said to be a big deal in the actor industry.

The film and television industry has basically reached a consensus that as long as you can join Fang Xing's crew, you can become famous even if you only play a small role.

What's more, Lin Yingxue has already collaborated with Fang Xing in several dramas.

Therefore, Hong Changbin paid attention to the news of the casting of Ark Culture's new drama as soon as it came out.

Although he has not read the script, he has read the character outline.

When Lin Yingxue said he was playing a villain, he immediately knew which character it was. He glared and said, "You want to play a bully? This is not possible. The image of this character is too bad and will have a negative impact on his future acting career."

actually.

The image of this character is indeed very bad, and Lin Yingxue has also considered this issue.

If you ask her if she is worried that this role will hinder her future acting career, the answer is definitely worried.

However, she felt arrogant in her heart and wanted to challenge this role.

In fact.

When she contacted Fang Xing, Fang Xing didn't really want to use her because he felt her acting skills couldn't hold up.

However, since Fang Xing gave her the script, it meant there was still a chance.

So she wanted to fight for it.

"It's also possible to broaden the scope of the play." Lin Yingxue said.

Hong Changbin shook his head and said in denial: "You don't need to broaden your acting options now. Now you can accept a female lead script without mercy, so there is no need to take such risks."

From a business perspective, Hong Changbin’s idea is actually right.

Lin Yingxue became famous in "Wulin Gaiden", "The Pretender" and "Hurry", three blockbusters, and now she has become one of the first-line actresses.

And she is such a young A-list actress.

She is only 26 years old. From the age of 26 to 30, this is the golden age of actresses.

Being promoted to the front line so early means that she can always play the lead female role, or even the leading female lead in dramas, and they are basically S-level, and at worst they are less than A-level productions.

This is simply a wild start.

Moreover, if she develops well in the past few years and produces two or three more popular dramas, she can still play the heroine for a few more years.

Age is very harsh on actresses.

For ordinary actresses, after the age of 30, it is difficult to get a decent female lead.

Of course, if you can become a popular actress and maintain your fame, you can extend this time.

Of course, there are some differences.

Even for first-line actresses, after the age of 30, idol dramas gradually stop coming for them, and they need to consider exploring new acting opportunities.

However, Lin Yingxue is still young and does not need to consider this issue yet.

If she works hard enough, in the next few years, her dramas as the female lead will continue to hit the screens.

the other side.

Auditions for Ark Culture’s new drama continue.

Fang Xing had been auditioning for the second female lead for almost a week, but he always felt that it was just a little bit short and not satisfactory enough.

This afternoon.

Lin Yingxue came to visit the crew and brought drinks to the crew.

Although the company did not agree with her taking the second female lead in Fang Xing's new drama, it did not prevent her from coming to visit the cast.

Her agent will not stop her from visiting the class, which is a good way to connect emotionally.

If we don’t cooperate in this drama, maybe there will be a chance to collaborate in the next drama.

After auditioning the last actor, Fang Xing asked the assistant director to sort out the actor information and announced that the work was over for the day.

Lin Yingxue waited until after six o'clock before coming forward to chat.

After chatting for a while, Lin Yingxue asked in a joking way: "The director really didn't consider me? He didn't even send me an audition invitation."

Fang Xing stretched, shook his head and said, "You are not suitable."

"Why? Doesn't the image match the image? Or is the acting not good enough?" Lin Yingxue was a little unconvinced.

Fang Xing looked her over and explained: "The character is about 36 years old, but he is pampered and well-maintained, and looks less than 30 years old. In terms of age, you are not suitable. It's hard to say about your acting skills, but I think it is enough."

Lin Yingxue was very unconvinced and put her hands on her hips and said, "Hey! After all, I was also nominated for the Flying Eagle Award. Although I was a running companion, my acting skills are not bad, right?"

Fang Xing looked at her look, shook his head and said with a smile, "Even if you want to act, your agent won't agree, right?"

Lin Yingxue's expression drooped, and she sighed: "You are right, the company does not agree, hey..."

The audition for the second female lead has been going on for a week, but I still haven’t found anyone I’m satisfied with.

Fang Xing had no choice but to ask the company to post the casting information for the second female lead on Ark Culture's official WeChat account, and also focused on her performance ability.

After this Weibo post was posted, many netizens were outraged.

[It’s been so long and you still haven’t found the second female lead? Are the requirements so high? 】

[I went to check the casting requirements for the second female lead, and it was really hard to find her. She has to be beautiful, have good acting skills, and play a villain, or a villain in a school bullying drama. These conditions are mutually exclusive. 】

[Indeed, an actress who is beautiful and has good acting skills has long been famous, so she should not even consider playing a villain. Not to mention the villain, the second female lead is not considered. 】

[It’s not that exaggerated. Being the second female lead for Song Li won’t be a disadvantage. Might as well win the Best Supporting Actor award. 】

Netizens started to recommend actresses while enjoying their meal.

[How about Song Yutong? I have become more and more confused in the past two years, maybe I am willing to act. 】

[Song Yutong is not very good, right? She is pretty, but her acting skills...and she started to become famous in "Blood Rain", and was completely confused by "Wulin Gaiden". Do you have a grudge against Fang Xing? 】

[Fang Xing never seems to care about this kind of thing. After Lin Yingxue became popular with "Wulin Gaiden", she later took on "Pillow Sin" to compete with Fang Xing. If fighting in the ring in a TV series is considered a feud, then Lin Yingxue and Fang Xing also have a feud. Later, Lin Yingxue acted in several Fang Xing's dramas and became a first-line actress. 】

【Huh! Speaking of which, I remember that Song Yutong was cast to play Guo Furong in "Wulin Gaiden", right? As a result, I didn't accept it because the money was too little. 】

[Not only that, Song Yutong and Lin Yingxue were still classmates, but now one is confused, and the other has become a popular little girl. This sense of gap, tsk tsk...]

[Speaking of this, we have to talk about the art of hugging the thigh. 】

[Lin Yingxue also missed the thigh in the hug, but fortunately she found her way back and recognized who was the thigh, so she didn’t let go. 】

[ @Song Yutong, have you learned it? 】

[Why not let Lin Yingxue play the second female lead this time? 】

【please do not. As a fan, I don’t want to see Yingxue play a villain. 】

[As an insider, let’s not discuss Lin Yingxue and Song Yutong. Fang Xing feels that Lin Yingxue’s acting skills are not good enough to play the second female lead this time. Lin Yingxue can't even act, and Song Yutong is even less capable. Lin Yingxue has at least been nominated for the Flying Eagle Award. Song Yutong can basically only act in idol dramas. Only if he can pass the audition will he be successful. 】

[How is Guan Shuxi? I think she is a hidden gem. 】

[Zhang Xueyan is very suitable. She is suitable in all aspects. Why doesn't Fang Xing go and look for her. 】

[Is there anyone more suitable for this role than Jenny Zhao? 】

[No need to recommend Jenny Zhao. People have already gotten married and quit the industry to have children. How could she still come out to film? 】

In these comments discussing the selection of actors, many netizens began to @the parties involved.

[ @Guan Shuxi, come and take over the role. You won’t suffer any disadvantages as the second female lead for Song Li. 】

[ @Zhang Xueyan, you are going to be popular, go to the audition. 】

Most of the discussions among netizens focus on participation, discussion and fun.

Of course, there are also some viewers who like these actors and hope that these actors can get good dramas.

However, fans rarely recommend idols.

Because this character is a villain, fans usually don't want their idols to play this kind of role.

It seems that the netizens are indeed joking, but the actors of @will still attract the attention of these actors.

Guan Shuxi only paid attention to this news after being @by a netizen.

She has not filmed for three or four years. The reason is simply because of her age.

When she was in her twenties, she had filmed many movies, but when she turned thirty, it seemed that the world had suddenly changed, and fewer and fewer scripts came to her.

Even if you look for her, there are very few female leads.

It's not that she wouldn't play the leading female role. Later, she also played some second and third female roles, but they were all lukewarm.

Later, she simply stopped taking roles and returned to teach at a film school.

There are actually very few examples of people who have traveled around the entertainment industry and can still go back to school to teach.

After all, it is often difficult to adapt to a world of bright lights and entertainment, and then return to a quiet ivory tower.

However, she adapted because she suffered continuous setbacks in her career as an actress and reached the awkward age for actresses, so her mentality changed.

Now, a netizen @she saw this news and followed the link to read the synopsis of Ark Culture’s new drama.

In fact, she has never played a villain before.

However, if you have the ability to teach in a film school, you will definitely be able to play any role.

In addition to netizens, there are also students in her class who sent her messages after seeing related discussions.

"Teacher, we are casting for Fang Xing's new drama, and I think Teacher is suitable. Why don't Teacher go to the audition? Looking forward to it!"

Guan Shuxi just smiled and didn't pay much attention.

Of course she knew who Fang Xing was and how popular Ark Culture's dramas were.

Since I teach in a film school, I definitely need to know about film and television dramas.

To say whether she has this idea, she definitely does, but she is also afraid of changing her current life, and she doesn't know if she can adapt to it after not having filmed in so many years.

Because she had so many worries, she hesitated.

I found out that she met Xu Zhiwen in school and sat down to chat for a long time.

Xu Zhiwen strongly recommended her to give it a try and personally sent a message to Fang Xing to recommend Guan Shuxi.

Being able to get Xu Zhiwen's recommendation, Fang Xing attached great importance to it and quickly asked someone to contact Guan Shuxi to arrange an audition time.

Before the audition.

Fang Xing first found Guan Shuxi's information and read it carefully.

He is 33 years old and has acted in many TV series before. After turning 30, he returned to teach at a film school.

Looking at the previous film and television images, she is indeed very beautiful. Being able to teach in a film school means that her acting skills should not be bad.

the next day.

nine in the morning.

Guan Shuxi arrived at the audition location according to the agreed time.

When Fang Xing saw Guan Shuxi in person, he was not surprised at all. He even felt that there was a gap between her and her previous screen image.

The reason for this is very simple.

After all, Guan Shuxi is 33 years old, and as a film school teacher, her audition is very professional. She came here without makeup, not even foundation or eyebrows.

In addition, maybe after leaving the industry, body management is not so strict, and the body is not as thin as that of female stars.

certainly.

In the entertainment industry, the older female celebrities get, the thicker their makeup becomes.

This is inevitable, otherwise you cannot hide your age.

Fang Xing first let her try out a scene.

As soon as the show started, opinions were immediately different.

Guan Shuxi just wore no makeup and performed a glamorous and moving feeling.

She obviously doesn't look gorgeous, but you can still feel the "beauty" she displays.

Then, when performing the inner ugliness and filthiness, it became more vivid and vivid.

Fang Xing's eyes lit up and he suggested, "How about putting on makeup and trying it out for a while?"

"Okay." Guan Shuxi nodded in agreement.

Fang Xing called the makeup artist over: "Put on a beautiful makeup and try to be as thin as possible."

"No problem." The makeup artist made an OK gesture and started putting on makeup.

After putting on the makeup, Guan Shuxi's image suddenly brightened up, and she was very beautiful with heavy makeup.

"Very good, let's try acting like a bitch." Fang Xing requested.

Before Guan Shuxi came, she knew she was going to play a villain, so she could accept such curse words.

She raised her lips and used bright makeup to act like a bitch.

"One more cigarette." Fang Xing added.

Guan Shuxi raised her right hand, held a non-existent cigarette between her two fingers, put it to her mouth, took a puff, and then gently blew out a non-existent smoke ring.

Snapped! Snapped!

Fang Xing applauded and praised: "It's very good. I feel the best among the auditions in a week, but there is still one problem."

When Guan Shuxi heard the compliment, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What's the problem?"

Fang Xing explained: "The second female lead is a weather anchor. During the filming, there will be full-body shots in professional skirts, and there are certain body requirements."

Guan Shuxi nodded and replied: "I understand. If you lose ten pounds, if it is not enough, you can reduce it to fifteen pounds."

As an actor, losing weight for a role is a basic quality.

Fang Xing thought for a moment: "Fifteen pounds is better. If Teacher Guan is willing, this role will be decided."

"When will the film start?" Guan Shuxi has to consider losing weight, so she should be cautious.

"The filming will start next week, but we will shoot the middle school scenes first, so you can join the team later." Fang Xing replied.

"Okay, it should be about the same." Guan Shuxi nodded in agreement, and then went to see the contract with the assistant director.
