Chapter 041 Audition

After recording the fifth episode of "The Voice of Idols", Chen Shuting and Xiaoling returned to Donghu, and Lao Xie also came back.

"Yoko's role has been decided. Your role has not yet been done. I will take you to meet the producer." Lao Xie said, "He will take you to meet the director, and the director will arrange auditions. You can perform well. If it really doesn't work, I will smash the producer's house again."

The producer of that big investment magic TV series was Liu Kai. Liu Kai once worked in the production department of Tangrui Media for several years, and was poached. He is now a well-known producer in the industry.

Liu Kai is a sleek person. Although he left the company, he maintained a good relationship with most people within Tangrui Media.

However, Lao Xie and him are not nodding, but are very good friends. Lao Xie has helped him many times.

"...Yoko has a movie with a box office of 900 million yuan, so he can join the protagonist group." Lao Xie explained to Chen Shuting, "I also showed your TV series excerpts to Lao Liu. He thinks your acting skills are not good. I begged him around, and he promised to audition for a secondary role."

Lao Xie was also afraid that Chen Shuting would be unbalanced.

Lao Xie promised Chen Shuting to be inclined to resources, but helped Yangzi get the role first. He was afraid that Chen Shuting would feel uncomfortable.

It is true that Liu Kai and Lao Xie are friends, but Liu Kai attaches great importance to his career and always takes the casting of the main characters himself and is very cautious.

Liu Kai prepares for youth idol films every time, and the actors he invites must be young, popular, famous and good-looking.

Although Yoko is backed by a movie with a box office of 900 million yuan, his appearance is more serious and not suitable for idol dramas. Liu Kai thinks Yoko is not handsome. If he hadn't valued Lao Xie's face, Liu Kai would never use him.

As for Chen Shuting, he looks very well and his image is in line with idol dramas, but his acting skills are a mess. What Liu Kai couldn't accept the most is that Chen Shuting was plagued by scandals.

The TV series Liu Kai mainly relies on the popularity of his fans. Actors with scandals will affect this TV series, and he minds it.

However, Lao Xie insisted on putting Chen Shuting on the crew. Liu Kai could not stand Lao Xie's shamelessness, so he had to promise Chen Shuting to audition.

The producer did not participate in the audition and left it to the two directors to take charge. This was actually an excuse to use the director's mouth to reject Chen Shuting.

In this way, it will not only not offend Lao Xie, but also give Chen Shuting a chance.

"Isn't audition a basic job for an actor?" Chen Shuting smiled, "I'll go for an audition!"

He has a good mentality, so Lao Xie breathed a sigh of relief.

"This time is an internal audition, not a public audition." Lao Xie told Chen Shuting again, "Let's go tonight, Liu Kai will meet you first and pass the test. Both directors will have time to go..."

"Okay." Chen Shuting said.

The weather was hot, and Lao Xie refused to go out until 8 o'clock in the evening, so he booked a flight at 11 o'clock, and it took about an hour and a half to Nanjiang.

The hotel has been booked, and got off the plane and went straight to the hotel. Although it was already one o'clock in the morning, Chen Shuting still met producer Liu Kai.

Chen Shuting used to be just a martial arts instructor, but he also knew how busy the producers were in the early preparations of the TV series. It was common for him to go on for 48 hours without sleeping.

The more glamorous this line is, the hard work behind it.

Liu Kai is in his early forties, not tall, has a scheming and has good energy, and has big black eyes. He looks very skilled and smart.

"Brother Liu." Chen Shuting shook hands with Liu Kai under Lao Xie's introduction.

Liu Kai smiled slightly.

After retracting his hand, Liu Kai took the script to Chen Shuting and said, "The character you want to audition for is not very much line. Because he is a knight in the human world, he will have more fighting scenes..."

"There are many fighting scenes?" Chen Shuting was shocked.

He remembered that he learned not long ago that there were no martial arts dramas in this time and space, so unlike his former time and space, most TV series require fighting scenes, and even the fight between two male characters in idol dramas is a serious move.

His fighting scenes in time and space were popularized to avoid introducing whether the character was practicing martial arts. Extending a hand was a beautiful move, as if Chinese people knew martial arts.

"Yes, you may not be very clear about what fighting scenes are. This is a new summary. I watched a drama from a martial arts performance school not long ago. I was very moved at the time. I think introducing Chinese martial arts into TV dramas may give the audience a new visual experience." Liu Kai said, "The character you auditioned for is the number one chivalrous man in the human world. He has great martial arts skills. I have hired a performance teacher from the martial arts school. He said that just like dance, he arranged the movements and followed them to learn a set of martial arts in half a month."

After hearing this, Chen Shuting felt unaware of what it felt.

This is his former job.

Sometimes, the big-name actors hired can't be taught no matter how hard they are, so Chen Shuting has to act as a substitute and come forward to help.

now......

"Okay, I'll try." Chen Shuting took the script and started to read it carefully.

Chen Shuting once taught himself to recite lines. His lines are very good and he will not drag down his performance.

Liu Kai's lines to Chen Shuting were a rather angry scene.

Chen Shuting read the lines twice, about 300 words, and soon memorized them.

He stood in front of Liu Kai with an excited expression and performed the plot: "The monster that ran out of the demon world is a monster. He thought he could be superior to others with his tricks of carving insects. After all, he was stupid..."

The lines are very naive and meet the requirements of all idol dramas. Chen Shuting reads them with great enthusiasm and suffocation, which makes Liu Kai and Lao Xie slightly stunned.

After he finished performing, Liu Kai put away his surprise for a while and said, "I didn't expect that your performance skills and lines are very good!"

"Brother Liu has been awarded too much." Chen Shuting was modest.

Liu Kai invited young and beautiful actors to act, but he was not very complimentary about their acting skills. Anyway, there were professional dubbing in the later stage. His performance was a little worse, and his dubbing level was up to the forefront and the audience could accept it.

Just have a good look.

Compared with the young artists Liu Kai had met, Chen Shuting was considered to be of medium performance and his line skills were considered to be of medium performance, which surprised Liu Kai.

He still remembers that when Lao Xie showed him the excerpts of "Prosecutor Sweetheart", none of Chen Shuting's awkward acting skills were in place.

Now, Chen Shuting and Chen Shuting in "The Prosecutor's Sweetheart" are completely different.

Liu Kai passed the test in his heart.

"I'm fine here." Liu Kai said, "I will arrange for you to meet with the two directors tomorrow at 9 o'clock in the morning. They mainly want to try your physical flexibility and whether you can learn martial arts well. After all, you have never been exposed to martial arts. If you really can't learn it well, the director will be very dissatisfied with the filming in the future..."

"Okay, thank you Brother Liu." Chen Shuting said.

After seeing Liu Kai off, it was already two o'clock in the morning, and the heat wave outside had not dissipated.

The cicadas are still yelling, day and night.

The street lights of the city are still standing steadily, emitting orange light, concealing the hazy moonlight.

Chen Shuting knew in his heart that many mature film and television people would pursue breakthroughs and seek innovation.

He just didn't expect that Liu Kai would suddenly add real Chinese martial arts to the play.

If it succeeds, will it be a breakthrough for the future martial arts dramas? This time and space TV series involves fighting scenes, without real close combat, and have weapons.

Chen Shuting thought about a lot of things all night.

The next day, it was still a sunny day. The scorching sun was like a stream of fire, and the scorching light enveloped the body, and the skin was immediately hot and cracked. From the hotel, the fire waves were surrounded by all, and there was nowhere to escape.

Before nine o'clock, Chen Shuting and Lao Xie arrived at the audition location that Liu Kai told them.

There has not been a formal audition for the official public today, so no one. Chen Shuting and Lao Xie went in. The secretary told them: "Director Shi has not arrived yet, the two gentlemen will wait."
