Chapter 3: Finalizing the Cast!
In the following days, Cao Jun did not audition with other crews, but stayed in the hotel, waiting for the crew of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" to call him.
Although the waiting process is painful, Cao Jun is not worried about losing the election. If he is not selected by the crew of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" in the end, he will definitely settle for the next best thing and make his debut as a singer.
Although his singing skills are average, Cao Jun feels that there is no problem in becoming a recording studio singer.
Therefore, while waiting for the notification, Cao Jun was not idle in the past few days. He "copied" songs in the hotel room all day long.
Over time, Cao Jun also relied on his superhuman memory to accumulate 5 songs.
Of course, Cao Jun must have remembered more than 5 songs. He copied songs selectively, only popular songs and not unpopular songs.
Now that he has figured out a way out, Cao Jun is committed to his profession and loves his profession. He bought a guitar to practice singing, as if he were a professional musician.
In his previous life, Cao Jun also practiced guitar for a period of time. Because it was a 3-minute session, his playing skills were really outstanding.
Now that I have time, Cao Jun is not idle either, and he is having a great time practicing.
December 20, morning.
Fu Ge and his classmate Yuan Hong came to Hengdian to audition.
At this time, Fu Ge was still a theater student. He had previously portrayed a young father who dealt with two women in the modern drama "Dandelion".
Due to lack of experience and experience, Fu Ge's performance was not outstanding, and some even failed.
Therefore, when preparing for the drama "Legend of Sword and Fairy", Tang Ren never thought about casting Fu Ge as Li Xiaoyao.
By a very coincidental coincidence, Fu Ge happened to be out of action during this period, and since he had been a fan of the Sword and Fairy game since he was a child, he went to the set to watch the fun.
The agent saw that he was interested and wanted to use this opportunity to expand his acting career, so he repeatedly requested the company to arrange a small role for Fu Ge in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".
So Fu Ge got an opportunity to audition for the supporting role of Jiang Ming in the drama.
Originally this was just an uneventful audition, but when Deng Jiajia, who was auditioning for the role of Spider, saw Fu Ge after the costume change, she suddenly asked: "Are you here to play Li Xiaoyao?"
That's right, Deng Jiajia, who auditioned for the role of Spider-Man, was her aunt Tang Youyou in "Love Apartment" many years later. Her appearance in "Legend of Sword and Fairy" may not be recognized by many people.
Many of the staff present were fans of the Sword and Fairy game. After being reminded by Deng Jiajia, they all felt that Fu Ge's costume appearance was indeed very Li Xiaoyao's style.
"Yes, are you here to play Li Xiaoyao?"
"You really look like Li Xiaoyao in this outfit."
"Your costume looks so handsome!"
"..."
Under the praise of everyone, Fu Ge got the opportunity to audition for Li Xiaoyao.
When Fu Ge auditioned for Li Xiaoyao, Fairy Sword game creator Yao Zhuangxian was also present. When he looked up and saw Fu Ge's first reaction, he stood up and shook hands with Fu Ge.
All Fairy Sword fans know that without "Yao Xian", there would be no "Fairy Sword". Yao Xian is Yao Zhuangxian, the developer and producer of "Fairy Sword".
Legend has it that Yao Zhuangxian loved Jin Yong and was familiar with history, but he was a mineral professional. He taught himself programming and crossed over into the gaming industry. He was only 26 years old and single-handedly created "Sword of Immortality".
I wrote code during the day, scripts at night, and drawing in the middle of the night, and then I formed a team.
In Yao Zhuangxian's mind, "Fairy Sword" is actually a projection of himself that cannot be obtained in reality.
Since I am shy and reticent, I make the protagonist glib; I am a nerdy programmer, so I make the protagonist carefree and surrounded by beautiful women.
Obviously, Li Xiaoyao is Yao Zhuangxian's imagined self, and Zhao Ling'er is the goddess she secretly loves.
From the first moment Yao Zhuangxian saw Fu Ge, he had already determined in his heart that Fu Ge was his ideal candidate for Li Xiaoyao.
It was under Yao Zhuangxian's strong recommendation that Cai Yinong, the female president of Sugar Man, followed the trend and decided to abandon the traffic star and replace it with a newcomer in the company.
Lucky Fu Ge also accidentally became the leading actor in "Legend of Sword and Fairy" just two days before the filming started.
The management objected, and Qiu Lixin, one of the producers, even defended it and promised "if it doesn't sell out, I'll pay for it myself", which allowed Fu Ge to get the role of Li Xiaoyao.
The third male lead in the play, Liu Jinyuan, was originally cast by Fu Ge's good friend Yuan Hong, but both of them were theater students, and the school only allowed one person to act in the play.
In order to let Fu Ge play the protagonist Li Xiaoyao with peace of mind, Yuan Hong did not hesitate at all. He simply said that Fu Ge was the protagonist and let Fu Ge play the role, and then voluntarily gave up the opportunity to play Liu Jinyuan.
As filming was about to begin, the crew of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" discovered that the role of Jiang Ming was still vacant.
Originally, Cai Yinong had considered letting Fu Ge play the role of Jiang Ming. Now that Fu Ge has confirmed the male lead, Li Xiaoyao, he naturally has to consider other candidates.
Only then did Li Guoli, Cai Yinong and other creative staff think of Cao Jun and wanted him to play the supporting role of Jiang Ming.
After receiving the audition call from the crew, Cao Jun immediately left for the Movie Capital Hotel.
Cao Jun, who put on white clothes and a hood in ancient costume, once again stood in front of Li Guoli and others.
However, unlike the last time he auditioned for the lead role Li Xiaoyao, the role Cao Jun auditioned for this time was the supporting role Jiang Ming.
After reading the lines on the paper, Cao Jun began to develop emotions.
Immediately afterwards, Cao Jun's expression suddenly changed, he spread out his right hand, facing the four main creators in front of him, and said with a mixture of grief and anger: "See her tears clearly, they are exactly the same as yours... There is no way to heaven, no door to hell, God has no way.
People!"
Cao Jun almost performed this line of hundreds of words in one breath.
Cai Yinong was very satisfied with Cao Jun's performance and said proudly: "Very good. I have said before that you are very suitable for the role of Jiang Ming."
Li Guoli also nodded happily: "Well, the performance is indeed very exciting!"
Cai Yinong then asked: "Cao Jun, are you confident that you can play the role of Jiang Ming well?"
Cao Jun did not rush to answer, but asked: "How much is it?"
"What?" This time it was Cai Yinong's turn to be stunned.
Cao Jun said bluntly: "I want to know how much money I can get for playing Jiang Ming?"
The reason why Cao Jun asked this was because Jiang Ming was only a supporting role. Although he was an important supporting role, his role in the play was not many, and his corresponding remuneration was also quite limited.
If the pay is very low, Cao Jun will choose to give up and does not want to waste time and energy. If the pay is still considerable, then he will choose to play this role.
Cai Yinong did not expect Cao Jun to be so direct. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Twenty thousand!"
Cao Jun felt that the price was quite reasonable. He had played similar supporting roles before, and they usually only cost three to five thousand yuan.
However, those are all little-known small production companies that shoot movies and TV dramas that are not broadcast by satellite TV, and their salaries are also extremely stingy.
There was an audition for a costume play, and he was informed that he had been selected, signed a contract with the crew, and shaved his hair. However, before filming started, he was told to change roles, and it was all full of routines.
In comparison, the crew of Sugarman Film and Television and "Legend of Sword and Fairy" should not be so bad.
After hesitating for a moment, Cao Jun said simply: "Okay, I'll take it!"
Everyone laughed when they heard Cao Jun's words.
Li Guoli also found Cao Jun, a young man, very interesting. It was obviously the crew who gave him the opportunity to act, but he acted like he was giving alms to the crew.
Cai Yinong put away her smile and said, "Then you sign the contract and report to the set tomorrow morning."
"OK."
After signing Cao Jun, the main cast of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" has basically been confirmed.
The first is the male lead Li Xiaoyao, played by Fu Ge.
Next is the heroine Zhao Ling'er, played by Liu Qianqian.
The second male lead Tang Yu is played by Peng Yuyan, Liu Pinyan plays Lin Yueru, and An Yixuan plays Anu.
Cao Jun, Jiang Xin, Deng Jiajia and others played the roles of Jiang Ming, Nuyuan and Spider Spirit in the play respectively.
