Chapter 262 Casting

"I didn't expect the show to be done like this? It looks quite novel. That An Zhijie is very handsome and has a good punch."

Four girls in the 305 dormitory of Building 25, Beijing Film Academy gathered in front of a 19-inch color TV, and the camera on the TV screen happened to be given to the judges.

Joshuwa Marston, Kate Green, Christopher Nolan were three people sitting in the middle of the judges, and on both sides were Yuan Heping, Han Sanping and Zhang Yimou.

"That Nolan must be manly. I heard that he is a great director from Hollywood." Chen Xin said to Christopher Nolan in the camera.

"Xinxin, why don't you go and find her, and you might be able to give you a role when you look so beautiful and speak English." Another girl with a very good looks said with a smile.

"Lei Min, I am just like me. If he wants me, I will definitely be willing, but I have self-knowledge. We are not a bachelor's degree and a higher vocational student. I have news that many people have reported that our school may be closed after a few years." Chen Xin said with some frustration.

It is indeed far inferior to those in the undergraduate department. Although they themselves are unwilling to admit it, this is indeed an indisputable fact.

This higher vocational college is a way for the school to make money. It is impossible to continue in the entertainment industry without a backstage.

"Janni, you said it would be great for us to participate in such a draft.

But there are no talent shows to participate in now, and we don’t meet the standards in the model competition. Xinxin, you can probably participate in the new idea." The four girls, who are relatively poor in appearance, stabbed the girl beside them.

"Jianni, you are so serious. This is not a game to choose the heroine. Why are you reciting the lines?" Chen Xin smiled and pushed.

"It's okay anyway. You can't just watch handsome guys and directors. But I think this show is quite real and has high requirements.

I don't understand the action scenes of An Zhijie just now, but I think they are good.

And I think the lines are pretty good, but they were criticized but they were not good. If you think about it carefully, it is indeed a good analysis." The girl who was called to Jiani pouted slightly, looking extremely cute.

With a long black and shiny hair draped over her shoulders, her face lines are round and delicate, and the light makeup on her face and impeccable face are exquisite as an ancient beauties.

Zhang Jiani. One of the first batch of admissions from the Higher Vocational College of Beijing Film Academy.

It's the first semester of her senior year, and she also regrets going to such a school.

Seeing this show made her want to participate in a talent show similar to movies and TV roles. She also hopes that she can succeed one day and become a big star that attracts attention.

"The foreigner is rigorous. I heard that there is no mess in Hollywood." Lei Min said in response.

Hearing Lei Min's words, Chen Xin shrugged: "It's not that there is no one, but for the sake of the role, it is said that it was very serious.

They have directors, actors, screenwriters, and many unions protect their interests, but they are not like us, but we just heard that it will be impossible for me to go to Hollywood in my life."

"Is that the director of "Memory Fragments" just now? I've reported that the company he works for is Miramax, who is famous in Hollywood. It's the company of Chen Tian, ​​a Chinese-American."

"Yes, it's the casting competition held by that company. Chen Tian is really handsome when watching the online news." Chen Xin's eyes looked like a scheming look.

"There are reports that he will also participate in the recording in a few days." Zhang Jiani said casually. At this time, another contestant walked onto the stage. When she saw this contestant, she couldn't help but be excited. "Look, it's Wu Jing, he actually participated in the casting event."

Hearing the girl's words, the other three immediately turned their attention back to the TV.

"Hello, judges, my name is Wu Jing. I have participated in many TV series and movies and have been involved in many kung fu. I hope my performance can impress all teachers and get a role."

Christopher Nolan listened to the translation machine and looked down at the resume of the contestant in front of him.

Nolan was shocked by his brilliant acting experience. If he remembered correctly, this is the one with the most acting experience among all contestants and the one with the most famous reputation in China.

The most important thing is that the other party gives him a good feeling, and the only thing that is slightly inferior is the face that looks a little baby-ish.

Compared with Nolan and the other three, Yuan Heping was very familiar with Wu Jing.

Wu Jing is one of the most outstanding actors in action drama among Chinese action actors. He has solid skills and is very hard-working in action drama. He has simply read the list of contestants before, and Wu Jing is one he is more optimistic about.

Chen Xin looked at Wu Jing on the TV screen and sighed: "Oh my God, Wu Jing has also participated in the selection. He doesn't have to worry about film appointments. He loved Ah Fei very much back then.

I think the role of A Fei he plays is also irreplaceable, no worse than Li Xunhuan."

Lei Min nodded: "I like his action movies very much, but I didn't expect that he had fallen to this point."

"Actually, it can't be considered a decline. The Chinese market for action actors is so big. Who doesn't want to go to Hollywood?

Jackie Chan and Jet Li are the best examples. I think it's good to have a chance to fight now." Zhang Jiani showed a hint of envy on her face.

Wu Jing started the first round of performance under the host's instructions and chose his own kung fu performance.

In fact, there were not many participants in the entire character talent show. At the beginning, hundreds of resumes were received from the three sides of the Taiwan Strait and the two places.

Before the program started, most of the candidates were deleted through resumes and personal videos, and in the end only 33 people were shortlisted for this casting program.

The entire casting event announced that the best players will be selected to participate in the shooting of important roles. In fact, the final shortlist may not be just the champion.

In the past, there were some role selection activities in China, but they were not placed on the table and went to the TV screen to face the audience across the country.

The participants in this casting program are basically kung fu actors, and they have more or less acting experience or solid kung fu foundations. They are barely considered to be stars in the entertainment industry.

For the audience, such talent shows participated in by celebrities make them full of interest.

Just like Zhang Jiani and his friends' dormitory, many people chose the imperial court station. They wanted to see what this massive casting program was like.

There are many people in it who are looking at how celebrities perform. This is more anticipated than ordinary people's talent shows.

The entire casting program will be broadcast in six episodes. Today is the only live broadcast.

In the following five episodes, except for the finals, all four games were recorded, and Chen Tian will personally participate in the finals.

This time the casting mainly revolves around three aspects: acting, lines and kung fu, and is divided into two rounds. The first round is kung fu, and the second round is a test of lines and acting skills.

The players on the stage need to show more than just kung fu. If they only have excellent kung fu, they may only get a substitute role.

Christopher Nolan watched Wu Jing seriously. The contestants in front of him also had good kung fu, but the men on the stage seemed to have a more interesting fight.

Nolan, who loves Chinese kung fu movies, watched them with relish. Yuan Heping, who was beside him, admired Wu Jing very much.

Donnie Yen was not on the show at this moment, he was staying in the Hilton Hotel in Beijing.

Originally, he also wanted to become a judge to increase his popularity and exposure, but unfortunately Chen Tian did not agree.

The reason is that Chen Tian wants to keep the suspense of the male lead for the time being and then reveal it later.

Although he understood it very much, missing such a program with high ratings and exposure still made him feel a little depressed, but he agreed with Wu Jing's performance very much.

His intuition told him that Wu Jing was a very outstanding teammate.

"Thanks to A Fei for his outstanding kung fu performance." Sa Beiling, the host, thanks to A Fei for making laughter everywhere, and also made the audience in front of the TV again have that chic image.

Sa Beiling put his shoulder on Wu Jing: "There is no way, who makes you A Fei's image too profound? Let's review A Fei through the scoring thoughts of a few teachers."

As Sa Beiling said, the classic character A Fei, who was popular in the TV series in China, appeared on the LED screen on the scene.

"I think his moves are very good. I play ten." Christopher Nolan turned his head and said to Kate Green.

Kate Green has always been Chen Tian’s deputy director. This year he does not have his own independent filming plan, but he will start independent filming next year.

He has studied a lot of action movies, and he is also very satisfied with Wu Jing's performance just now.

"I'm also very ten, but we are not professionals. Professionals should look at Wu." Kate Green said with a smile.

Yuan Heping whispered: "I can also play 10, but his weakness is his lines. You can test it well later."

After playing Ah Fei's collection of highlights on the LED screen for just thirty seconds, six judges gave their own scores in the voice of the host.

Except for Zhang Yimou, the six people gave nine points, all of them were given ten points.

He scored 59 points in the first round, which is the highest score among the ten players who have played.

"Congratulations to Wu Jing for getting 59 points in the first round. The next round will test your lines and acting skills. Each judge has a full score of 20 points.

Below, you will randomly draw a script line from the twenty videos on the big screen to perform. Are you ready?"

"No problem!" Wu Jing nodded, turned around and looked at the numbers on the big screen. When the host shouted to start, he called to stop.

Which number is parked at, the script represented by that number is what he needs to perform.

At first he didn't want to come here to participate, but thought that although he was quite well-known in China and could play the leading male lead in most TV series, he had never performed very well.

More people's impression of him is still in the movie "Little Li's Flying Knife" at the end of the last century, and he hopes to change this situation.

Being able to become a top kung fu superstar, not just an action actor who is familiar with but not as high as possible.

As an actor, he also longed to rush out of China and Jet Li to enter the highest palace of Hollywood, the movie. After he hesitated, he finally decided to sign up.

At this moment, the number of spectators from the imperial court was still soaring, and the plane Chen Tian was on was about to arrive in Vancouver, Canada. The plane would dock for 20 minutes before flying to China across the ocean.

Chen Tian didn't know how many viewers the casting program of "Raider" attracted. He closed his eyes and rested on the plane.

Wu Jing won the movie "Infernal Affairs" which has a very popular reputation this year in the casting hall of the "Raider" on the other side of the ocean.

Seeing the words "Infernal Affairs", Wu Jing breathed a sigh of relief. He was very familiar with this video.

Christopher Nolan and others on the judges also laughed, they were no strangers to "Infernal Affairs".

Chen Tian has a good impression of this video, and plans to buy the copyright of the remake of this video and then produce the American version of "Infernal Affairs".

So Kate Green and others have conducted in-depth research on this film, and they have high praise for this film, and they also agree with Chen Tian’s remake.

However, Chen Tian does not plan to serve as the director of the American version of "Infernal Affairs". Kate Green really wants to get this director position.

Although he already has a filming plan next year, he wants to get the position of director of the American version of "Infernal Affairs".

For this reason, he went to Chen Tian to express his thoughts, but Chen Tian has not decided who the director of the film will be then.

"I'll do it!" Kate Green said with a smile, looking up at Wu Jing.

Sa Beiling not only needs to serve as a host but also as a translator.

The contestant did not have a translator, so he needed to translate the words of Christopher Nolan and the other three so that the contestant could hear it clearly.

Previously, there were Hong Kong and Taiwan actors, and his translation task might not exist, but now he needs help translate it.

"There are two questions, one is the confrontation between Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming on the platform, and the other is Chen Yongren witnessing Huang Lie falling from the building and died." Kate Green said with a smile at Wu Jing on the stage.

Accompanied by Kate Green's voice, countless viewers in front of the TV immediately emerged these two classic plots in their minds.

Kate Green also agrees with these two plots. The first one shows the line skills and acting skills, and the second one is purely the performance of acting skills.

Sa Beiling translated Kate Green's words, Wu Jing turned around, and the scene of Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming in the sky-strait showdown appeared on the LED screen.

"You need to play the role of Liu Jianming, and only Chen Yongren's voice will appear on the led, so you have no opponent to help you get into the role, only videos on the led screen.

Do you have one minute to prepare, are you ready?" Sa Beiling explained the rules.

Wu Jing nodded. He liked this video very much and had watched it many times, but he had never imitated it. Although he had confidence, he was not that strong, especially no one helped him get into the role. This tested him.
