Chapter 45
Bai Weiran rejected Cheng Qiuyu, but Cheng Qiuyu did not give up. He still loved Bai Weiran and silently looked at Bai Weiran. This time he saw the trick and guessed Bai Weiran's identity.
He did not tell anyone about his discovery and only secretly helped Bai Weiran to cover up. Bai Weiran was in danger several times, and thanks to Cheng Qiuyu's secret help, he was able to escape danger.
But Cheng Qiuyu saved Bai Weiran, but exposed herself.
The Japanese and traitors went to arrest Cheng Qiuyu. Cheng Qiuyu vowed to fight to the death, killing several Japanese and traitors, and eventually died under the rifle of guns. He could be praised as a hero.
There are many actors auditioning for this role, and Xuan Mo is in a very low position. Who said he doesn’t have a strong agency to be his backer?
Looking at the actors who went in to audition one after another in front, Xuan Mo was not panicked at all. He had confidence in himself. Farewell My Concubine was his trump card. After reading the script, he knew that Cheng Qiuyu's most famous singing segment was Farewell My Concubine.
The actors before Xuan Mo went in and out again. Their facial expressions were well controlled, and no information could be seen from their faces.
"Next, No. 39."
"Here you come." Xuan Mo stood up and walked towards the interview room.
In the room, Director Ma discussed with the screenwriter and producer and the deputy director about the actor who was interviewed. This actor was the best among so many auditioners. He had good acting skills and good looks. His only disadvantage was that he could not perform.
Producer: "I'll just let him put on makeup and do some styles. If you add voiceover later, it won't affect anything."
The assistant director and screenwriter looked at Director Ma, and they all knew about Director Ma’s details.
Director Ma frowned and said, "Look at it again. If you can't find an actor with good image, good acting skills and good opera skills, then use him."
Producer: "You are such a turtle hair."
A knock on the door sounded, and then a young man walked in.
The four of them were lit up. This young man looks really good. His appearance is the best one in the audition, right?
The screenwriter has watched the currently popular fairy tale drama and recognized Xuan Mo: "Are you Zhao Xuan, who plays Senior Brother XX?"
"Yes, I'm Zhao Xuan." Xuan Mo said politely, "Hello teachers, I'll audition for the role of Cheng Qiuyu."
"Your image is suitable." The screenwriter's eyes shining, and she likes good-looking people.
"The acting skills should be not good, right?" said the deputy director. After reading Zhao Xuan's information, he was able to join the crew of "The Legend of the Nine Dragons", and also play the fourth male lead, and play against an old actor. This young actor should have good acting skills. If it is not good, even if he enters the crew by relying on his relationship, he may be kicked out.
Director Ma also saw this item in the information, and the villain in his heart nodded, feeling that the actor in front of him was better than the previous one.
The producer was not very happy. The last actor was named Li Mengyu, who is currently the actor trained by their company. The producer naturally hoped that Li Mengyu would get the role.
Director Ma said to Xuan Mo: "Let's perform for a while first."
Director Ma chose the scene that repeated between Cheng Qiuyu and Bai Weiran.
This scene is difficult to act and requires relatively high performance.
But Xuan Mo has high-level acting skills, comparable to that of an old actor, and this scene is just a breeze for him.
Director Ma and screenwriter nodded repeatedly when he saw it. The acting skills of the person in front of him were much worse than Li Mengyu. No wonder he was able to participate in the national historical drama, and Xu Fan had a good vision as always.
The producer sighed in his heart. He could not say anything against his will of Xuan Mo, but he felt uncomfortable, so he made things difficult for others.
"Do you know how to sing opera?" asked the producer. He didn't think Xuan Mo could sing opera. This young man must have spent all his thoughts on thinking about acting skills. He shouldn't have time to learn opera, right?
However, the answer disappointed him: "I know a little."
Director Ma's eyes lit up: "Sing a paragraph and listen."
Xuan Mo responded, and then his temperament changed. As soon as his body movements came out, even without makeup, everyone could recognize that Xuan Mo was performing Yu Ji.
"Since I have followed the king to fight in the east and west, suffering from wind and frost and hardship, year after year. I only hate that the Wudao Qin has ruined the lives, which has only caused the people to suffer..."
No one gave him a show, but he sang very devotedly and was very fascinating.
"Okay." Director Ma applauded.
Although he is not a fan of drama, he still knows Peking Opera well and occasionally listens to it. Naturally, he can also identify how others sing.
Xuan Mo's singing and writing was absolutely amazing. Director Ma seemed to see Cheng Qiuyu standing in front of him in the play.
"Very good, the role of Cheng Qiuyu is yours. Let your agent find the legal affairs of the crew and sign the contract." Director Ma immediately made the decision.
Xuan Mo thanked with a smile.
Director Ma asked: "Your singing style and movements look familiar. Did you learn it from Professor Chu?"
Xuan Mo: "Director Ma knows Professor Chu? I did learn from Professor Chu. I first learned from online videos, and then Professor Chu personally gave some advice."
Director Ma: "Our crew decided to invite Professor Chu as a consultant, but unexpectedly, others did not invite him, but first invited his students."
Xuan Mo quickly waved his hand: "I am not a student of Professor Chu, but I was guided by Professor Chu for two days."
"Two days? Did you go to see Professor Chu's advice?" asked Director Ma.
If this is true, it shows how serious this child is to the role. Director Ma likes such actors the most.
Xuan Mo said: "It's not just that, but I met Professor Chu at the fan club, so I asked Professor Chu for advice."
Director Ma was surprised: "You also attended the fan club?"
Xuan Mo: "Well, it was Teacher Jiao, Teacher Li and Teacher Liu who took me to the fan club."
"It turned out to be them." Director Ma said, "It seems that your acting skills are really good, which has attracted three or three people to admire you so much and regard you as a junior."
Director Ma was even more satisfied with Xuan Mo. The producer did not object to it. The young man has a wide connection and should not offend him easily. The three old actors have a good status in the circle. Even the entertainment company can't stand it even if they offend them.
Xuan Mo left the audition room and the producer spoke: "Director Ma, Li Mengyu's acting skills are good, and his image is good..."
Director Ma interrupted him: "Cheng Qiuyu's role is determined to be Zhao Xuan, and his acting skills and image are better than Li Mengyu."
"No, I didn't mean that." The producer said hurriedly, "I didn't want Li Mengyu to steal Cheng Qiuyu's role. I was thinking about whether Shen Weiyuan's role can be given to Li Mengyu?"
