The training room on the third floor of Shanhai Film and Television.

He is well-known in the industry, and many celebrities and big names have come in just to appear in Xiao Yang's movies or win an important role.

Even though Lao Xiao is not as famous as the fifth-generation directors and has won more awards, he is still young and cannot sustain high box office.

These days, whether or not you win awards is a lie. Box office appeal is the real power.

Starring in a blockbuster movie will not only enhance your status in the entertainment industry, but will also give you room and confidence to pay a premium when accepting future film roles!

Chen Heyu pushed the door open directly and saw Xiao Yang sitting in the main seat. On the left and right sides were the assistant director and the casting director. There was also an assistant at the door who was responsible for calling the number.

That’s right, your number needs to be called!

For each role, there were more than a dozen people who came to audition, and they also went through a round of screening, otherwise there would be more candidates.

"Mr. Chen, did you just get off the plane?"

Xiao Yang dropped the script, trotted over and said, while motioning to the assistant to bring another chair over.

"Well, have you decided on the actors?"

Chen Heyu asked after sitting down.

"We still need the two roles of Peng Hao and Lu Yiyi. Liu Sihui, I cast Tan Nao, who can be considered an old partner."

Xiao Yang sat down next to him and explained slowly.

Chen Heyu nodded. Tan Nao has appeared in "Hello! Mr. Tree" and "The Murderer", and he also played the role of Liu Sihui in the original version.

Last year, she played Xiao Yang's wife in "Manslaughter". Her impeccable acting skills left a deep impression on Lao Xiao.

After getting the script, Xiao Yang contacted the other party's agent immediately and locked in the role first.

"Where are Cao Bin and Pastor Liu?"

Chen Heyu is very concerned about the main characters in the play and does not want to ruin an excellent movie because of details.

"Teacher Zhou Wei and Yang Xinming."

Of these two people, one was recommended by a friend and the other was decided after Lao Xiao auditioned.

"no problem."

Chen Heyu smiled and realized that they were all members of the original cast, a "very smooth layman" and an experienced actor in the drama circle.

Seeing that he was satisfied, Xiao Yang laughed happily and continued: "I plan to focus on the filming of this drama and leave the role of Cheng Yong to Xu Shanzheng. Mr. Chen, do you think it is feasible?"

Hearing this, Chen Heyu shook his head and said, "The audience is more looking forward to your self-directed and self-acted works. It's better for you to play the role of Cheng Yong. I won't trust it if it's given to an outsider."

Yes, it doesn’t matter how good Xu Shanzheng’s acting skills are!

If he is not from Shanhai, there is no way he would give away a film that is destined to win an award.

In addition, he had other considerations in mind.

Xiao Yang contributed his wonderful acting skills in two consecutive "Manslaughter" movies, making Chinese audiences believe that this non-scientific director will one day win the best actor award!

A director who is not an actor is not a good actor!

Seeing that his attitude was clear, Lao Xiao stopped arguing and asked the assistant director to cross out the name "Xu Shanzheng".

"There are 6 people left to audition for the role of Lu Yiyi today. All the information is here."

Xiao Yang pushed over a stack of resumes.

Chen Heyu flipped through it casually, and the next one was the original role player - Wang Jun, and Lao Hu's resume was below, as well as Shagen Wang Baoqiang, Zhao Yiting from Wanwan...

"Go ahead, but I like Lao Hu for this role."

He dropped his resume and said calmly.

It makes no difference to him whether he is Wang Jun or Hu Ge. With Lao Hu's perfect performance in "When a Man Loves", he should be able to handle this role easily.

Chen Heyu's words basically gave other candidates a pass.

Xiao Yang secretly glanced at the assistant director and casting director, and they understood. No matter what the outcome of the next audition, the role of Lu Yiyi could only be given to Hu Ge.

The boss has appointed him, and anyone who objects will feel uncomfortable.

After the discussion with several people was over, the assistant started to call the next audition actor.

"Creak!"

A tall actor walked in. It was Wang Jun who became famous through "Love Apartment". He was twenty-eight years old this year and was at his peak as a male artist.

"Hello directors, I am Wang Jun. I graduated from the 04 acting major of the Shanghai Theater Academy. I have appeared in "The Prince of Tennis", "Summer Love Trial" and "Love Apartment". The role I want to audition today is Lu Yiyi.

After getting the character script, I compiled a biography of the character. He is a seriously ill patient with a petty personality. He would treat everyone to eat oranges every time. In order to survive, he approached Cheng Yong, the owner of the sacred oil store, and encouraged him to buy medicine.

.

In the process of selling medicine, he formed a deep relationship with Cheng Yong and others, which was his last hope in life...

I think Lu Yiyi is the promoter of generic drugs and the catalyst of the plot..."

Wang Jun analyzed it carefully and expressed his understanding of the character.

"The analysis is wonderful. Please choose a set of shots and use it as you like."

Xiao Yang was a little surprised. In the entertainment industry, there are not many actors who can be "careful", and Wang Jun obviously belongs to this kind of person.

"Okay, director, I'll choose the scene where Lu Yiyi comes to visit Cheng Yong for the first time. Thank you for your help in setting up the scene."

After Wang Jun finished speaking, he took out several masks from his pocket and put them on himself layer by layer.

Xiao Yang looked straight at him.

Wang Jun understood that the director was performing the scene of Cheng Yong standing outside the glass door.

His eyes changed instantly, full of uneasiness and fear. His name was Lu Yiyi, and he was a patient with severe chronic myelogenous leukemia.

Glenin was too expensive and he could no longer afford it. He accidentally learned that there was a generic drug in Tianzhu that had exactly the same effect, but he did not understand English, so he had to ask someone to find Cheng Yong.

Looking at Xiao Yang's distrustful eyes.

He took off his pockets layer by layer, as if letting go of layers of defense, like a desperate and helpless elk, forcing out a smile in pain.

"Eat an orange."

Wang Jun bent his waist and put down a fresh orange in front of Xiao Yang. He was a leukemia patient and needed to supplement vitamin C, so he would carry it with him.

"Pah! Pah! Pah!"

Chen Heyu took the lead in applauding. This guy is indeed the only acting talent in "Love Apartment".

In just a few minutes, he saw a vivid Lu Yiyi.

In the previous life, it was not clear how Wang Jun got this role, but Chen Heyu believed that he did not rely on connections, but all on his outstanding acting skills.

"Thank you! Thank you, the director, and thank you to the interviewers."

Wang Jun thanked him and said that he didn't know Chen Heyu's identity. Seeing that he was sitting in the center, he must have more say than Xiao Yang, so he wisely thanked Chen Heyu first.

"Mr. Chen, what do you mean?"

Xiao Yang asked in a low voice, you are making it difficult for us, who should we choose?

"Look again."

Chen Heyu smiled, and when he saw Lao Xiao's frowning expression, he knew that he had interfered with his judgment.

Before Wang Jun's audition, he had actually decided to give the role to Lao Hu, but Wang Jun's performance made him hesitate.

"Okay, thank you for your performance. Help call the next person. We will notify you of the results."

The casting director spoke up.

Wang Jun then withdrew.

The next one is Hugo.

When he opened the door and came in, several people laughed. It could be seen that Lao Hu had put a lot of effort into this role.

An old plaid suit was put on, with a gray shirt and an khaki sweater underneath, and his hair was greasy and tangled.

"Hello interviewers, I am Hu Ge..."

"Okay, everyone is on their own, let's get started."

Chen Heyu interrupted him.

Hu Ge smiled, chose a scene, and asked Lao Xiao to help him set up the scene.

Lao Hu chose the scene where Lu Yiyi was at the protest site, far away from the crowd, eating a meal alone, showing an expression of gloating, and then received a call from Cheng Yong.

Hu Ge's performance was remarkable and there were no major problems.

Chen Heyu has seen the original version, and after comparing it in his mind, there is a clear dividing line between the two's acting skills.

"Mr. Chen, Director Xiao, do you have any questions that you can point out to me?"

Hu Ge asked modestly.
