In the car, Xiao Yunhai called Du Hongtai. "Director Du, the film and television bureau is settled. How are things on your side?"
Du Hongtai said, "I'm contacting the actors. I've given the script to many people before. Wang Guoan, Sun Yanjun, and the others are very satisfied. Even though the script didn't pass the review, they left me a slot. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "The game in this movie is between the city and the province. Teacher Wang and the others are at the age of being the first and second leaders. They're very suitable. Comparatively speaking, I'm a little too young. By the way, who's the male lead? "
Du Hongtai said, "I haven't thought about it yet. The director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau is the hardest to find. First of all, he can't be over 40 years old. Second, he has to be good-looking. It's best if he has a righteous aura. Third, he has to have superb acting skills so that he won't be overshadowed by you movie kings and actresses. In the entire entertainment industry, I think you're the most suitable one. "
Xiao Yunhai hurriedly said, "Please don't have any ideas about me. When an actor creates a role, he has to like it first. I'm really not interested in it. If it really doesn't work, you can just do a large-scale audition. There are countless talents buried in the entertainment industry. There might be more than one who can meet your requirements. "
Du Hongtai said, "You're right. Some actors are famous but not famous. They're always on the B-list or C-list, but their acting skills are very solid. Alright, since Old Wang and the others have nothing to do, I'll ask them to help with the audition. When the time comes, not only the male lead, but the other roles will also be found through this method. We'll build momentum first. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Yes. I'll get the Immensity Sea staff to cooperate fully with you. "
Soon, the news of the large-scale audition for "Power" and the search for actors spread throughout the Hua Xia entertainment industry.
Just the seven or eight names that were announced were enough to give everyone a shock.
"Damn, what kind of magic does this' Power 'have? It actually attracted Yun Huang's ex-girlfriend to act in it."
"Wang Guoan, Ge Wuyou, Sun Yanjun, Zhang Hong … Damn, they've got Hua Xia's best actors and actresses in one fell swoop."
"The main thing is that the first male and female lead hasn't been decided. These outstanding actors are all playing supporting roles for them. "
"Reaching the heavens in a single step. Whoever can get these two roles, even if it's an unknown actor, will be able to reach the sky in a single bound and become the top artist in all of Hua Xia. "
"That goes without saying. It was just that this actor was not easy to find. If one wanted to perform well under the pressure of these people, one could forget about it without the acting skills of an award-winning actor or actress. If things don't go well, we might be suppressed by them and disappear without a trace. "
"I don't care about the others. I'm only interested in Yun Huang. The two of them haven't acted in a TV series for many years. I'm looking forward to it. "
"That's right. Although the Celestial Bane they worked on was good, the duration was too short. It was only a little over two hours. But TV dramas were different. There was a long way to go. I can often see them on TV. Just thinking about it makes me feel so good. "
"I look forward to the filming, completion, and broadcast of Power as soon as possible."
Netizens posted posts on various major online forums, full of anticipation for "Power".
Hua Xia's entertainment circle was even livelier.
Director Du Hongtai, a group of award-winning actors and actresses, and unlimited investment. For such a TV series, no matter who won the male and female lead roles, it would definitely be a matter of great fortune.
Especially for actors with no background and no future, the appeal was even greater.
They knew very well that with Xiao Yunhai and these award-winning actors and actresses in the industry, there would definitely be no unspoken rules that were commonly seen. The key was still the ability.
"Power" had completely ignited the Hua Xia's entertainment circle.
Everyone turned a blind eye to Du Hongtai's request. Regardless of whether it was suitable or not, they submitted their resumes through their management companies. Among them were many little fresh meats whose acting skills were criticized by the entire Hua Xia audience.
They were very popular, but their status in the entertainment circle was not high. Once they acted in such an influential production, their status would naturally rise.
"Old Du, our company's Little Tang is really good. His acting skills are good, and he's popular. I guarantee that he'll be able to increase the ratings for your show. We're old friends, so help him out and give him a chance. " In a teahouse, the CEO of Huafeng International, Zhang Huafeng, was drinking tea with Du Hongtai with a handsome young man in his thirties.
The young man's name was Tang Zhixin, and he was a big star promoted by Huafeng. He was 1.8 meters tall, had a dignified appearance, and an extraordinary temperament. His acting skills were also considered good.
Zhang Huafeng and Du Hongtai had worked together many times, and their relationship was very good. Once "Power" was released, Zhang Huafeng set his sights on him.
Tang Zhixin continued, "Director Du, as long as I can get this role, I'll definitely do my best to play it well. Please believe in me. "
Du Hongtai looked at the respectful Tang Zhixin and said, "Little Tang, you have a very good reputation in the circle. You're low-key and dedicated. I think very highly of you. However, the male lead role of 'Power' is not something that just anyone can play. There are more than 20 award-winning actors and actresses acting with him. With such a huge pressure, those with poor acting skills will not be able to take it. Forgive me for being blunt, but your acting skills have just reached the standard of an A-list celebrity. It's impossible for you to act with them. "
Tang Zhixin's face slightly changed. Although Du Hongtai's words were a little blunt and hurt his self-esteem, he knew that what the other party said was right.
Wang Guoan, Sun Yanjun, Xiao Yunhai, Zhao Wanqing, and Ge Wuyou were the best actors in Hua Xia. Acting with them was indeed a huge challenge for him.
Tang Zhixin pursed his lips with a trace of determination in his eyes. "Director Du, please believe in me. I will definitely not let you down."
Du Hongtai shook his head and bitterly smiled. "It's not something that can be made up with hard work or determination. My ideal male lead for this role is Mr. Xiao Yunhai. However, he has no interest in it, so I had to look for someone else. Do you think your acting skills can be compared to his? "
Before Tang Zhixin could speak, Zhang Huafeng said, "Old Du, you're deliberately making things difficult for Lil Tang. Not to mention young actors, even award-winning actors like Liang Hui and Wang Guoan dare to say that they can surpass Mr. Xiao. Acting skills need to be honed. With this opportunity, Lil Tang might be able to reach another level. "
Du Hongtai said, "Mr. Zhang, this movie is not a place to hone an actor. Forget it, there's no point in telling you. How about this, I can give Lil Tang a chance to audition. Whether he can succeed or not will depend on his own ability. "
Since the news of the audition for 'Power' was released, seven to eight hundred resumes had been submitted in less than three days.
First, Hanhai's editorial department did a preliminary review. They directly removed most of the actors who were obviously not suitable, leaving only seventy or so who were qualified. Then, Du Hongtai did a re-evaluation. Finally, Xiao Yunhai, the producer, also intervened.
After three rounds, ninety-nine percent of the actors were removed. There were only eight actors who were qualified and had good acting skills. However, the two of them had been keeping it a secret, so no one knew.
Zhang Huafeng said unhappily, "So, Lil Tang wasn't on the audition list in the first place, right? Old Du, you're not giving us any face, are you? "
Du Hongtai explained, "I swear on my honor that I did keep Lil Tang and wanted to give him a chance. But I couldn't get past Mr. Xiao. He looked at the recent works of the fifteen actors I kept and directly removed seven of them, including Lil Tang. What do you want me to do? "
Zhang Huafeng frowned and said, "Old Du, this is not your style. Mr. Xiao's status is not ordinary, but with your temper, how can you allow him to order you around? "
Du Hongtai said, "We have an agreement. Before the filming starts, Mr. Xiao has to take on the responsibility of the Art Director. After the filming starts, I, as the director, will have the absolute power, and he will only do what an actor should do. Mr. Zhang, actually, it's useless for you to ask me because I don't have the final say in the role, especially the male lead. "
Zhang Huafeng said, "Then who has the final say? Mr. Xiao? "
Du Hongtai said, "Not really. The audition teacher on that day has the final say. At that time, Ge Wuyou, Wang Guoan, Sun Yanjun, Wu Jun, Lin Yongzheng, Qin Tao, Zhang Hong, Zhao Wanqing, the eight film emperors and actresses would personally go on stage to act with the male lead. Only after passing their acting test could the actor obtain the role. Let's put it this way, whoever can become the male lead will be recognized by the best actors in Hua Xia. Then, he will be a Best Actor without a Best Actor Award, and he will deserve it. Otherwise, why would they be willing to act with each other? "
After hearing Du Hongtai's words, Zhang Huafeng and Tang Zhixin looked at each other and gasped at the same time.
With eight Best Actors and Best Actresses auditioning, why would they need actors to act? Just the pressure alone was enough to drive people crazy.
Tang Zhixin's eyes, which had been full of confidence, dimmed. He smiled bitterly and said, "Director Du, you don't have to give me the chance to audition. I know myself well enough to know that it's impossible for me to pass their audition. And I dare say that there are very few actors who can pass Hua Xia's audition. "
Du Hongtai said, "If there aren't any, then this movie won't start filming. These Best Actors and Best Actresses are very persistent. There's no such thing as passing. "
Zhang Huafeng took a step back and said, "What about the other roles? Are there any suitable ones for Little Tang? "
Du Hongtai thought about it and said, "Yes, there are. It's just that there aren't many scenes. At most, it will be broadcast for an hour. Right now, I only have the right to choose small supporting roles. For slightly more important roles, there will be an audition. "
Tang Zhixin said, "No matter how small the role is, I'm willing to act. Being able to see so many Best Actors and Best Actresses' performances is very beneficial for me. "
Du Hongtai said with a smile, "You can go and fight for the more important supporting roles that we announced. If you fail, you can play that role again. This is called double insurance. "
Tang Zhixin said happily, "Thank you, Director Du."
Zhang Huafeng also thanked him repeatedly. Although he didn't get the male lead role, it wasn't bad to get a supporting role.
Just as they were discussing the male lead role, Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing were receiving Yu Yuexian, who suddenly came to visit, in the CEO's office of Hanhai Film Investment Company.
"Sister Yu, why are you willing to come out of your house?" Xiao Yunhai asked.
Yu Yuexian said with a smile, "I was shocked by the big lineup you guys made. I heard that the female lead role hasn't been decided yet, so I volunteered to fight for the audition opportunity. "
Zhao Wanqing complained, "Sister Yu, why didn't you say so earlier?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "That's right. If we knew that you, a Best Actress who hasn't appeared in a long time, wanted to play the female lead role, we wouldn't have to cast a net all over the circle. "
Yu Yuexian said with a smile, "I also made the decision after two days of consideration. After all, the child is still too young. I'm a little worried. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Now that the candidates for the audition have been decided, we can only add your name at most."
Yu Yuexian nodded and said, "I'll go to the audition with them. You don't need to take care of me. If someone can act better than me, or even similar to me, you can give this role to her. "
Zhao Wanqing said with a smile, "Don't worry. We won't mix public and private matters. "
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "Sister Yu, if you don't get the female lead role, don't cry."
Yu Yuexian spat and said, "Am I that weak? It's good that I don't get the role. I'll go back and continue to be a good mother. "
The three of them chatted for a while, then Yu Yuexian said goodbye and left. Before she left, Xiao Yunhai handed the script of "Power" to her.
