Chapter 200 Casting Begins

The time soon came to the 28th.

Today, Oriental Media is destined to be the explosive place for entertainment news.

Early in the morning, reporters were crowded outside the company.

The scene is so big that it even doubles the casting of Chen Xiao's previous movies.

After all, there are castings for two high-profile works in this building today.

One is Chen Xiao's new movie, and the other is his sitcom.

Especially the sitcom, which has been highly anticipated since he revealed the news in an interview on the second day of the first lunar month.

And today there is not only Chen Xiao here, but also Cha Zelle who came all the way from country M.

In the past, it was not possible to interview him even at international film festivals.

If I can get through today, my year-end bonus might be doubled!

As a result, from around five o'clock in the morning, a large number of media rushed to the company door to occupy space.

But now it's eight o'clock, and the company is already surrounded by people.

Reporters from large and small media gathered around the building with cameras and microphones.

Others circled around, trying to find out if the crew would be auditioning on the first floor. They wanted to take photos of the interior through the gaps in the curtains.

Contrary to the commotion outside, the company is relatively quiet.

Taking into account space issues such as conference rooms, the auditions for "The Truman Show" were on the eighth floor, and the auditions for "Family with Children" were on the second floor.

In the audition room on the eighth floor.

Chen Xiao, Cha Zelei and others have already sat down, each looking through the information in their hands.

In front of each of them, there was a monitor screen, and a huge high-definition screen was hung on the wall.

HD screens are used for online auditions.

In order to make the film more acceptable to overseas markets, foreign actors were cast in many roles this time. But it’s not convenient for them to come here, so foreign actors with fewer roles audition online.

The time soon came to half past eight.

The audition officially begins.

The first actors chosen were reality show directors.

An old acquaintance walked in.

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Teacher Zeng, long time no see."

The person coming was none other than Zeng Wei, the actor who played the role of the cruise ship designer in "Titanic".

"Director Chen, long time no see."

"Then let's catch up on old times later, let's get started first."

"good."

The clip of him looking into the mirror is the clip of the director talking to him when Truman reaches the end of the world and is about to leave.

The first half here reflects his characteristics as a god in this world, and the second half turns back into a capitalist when urging Truman. The two identities are you in me and me in you, but their importance is different at different stages, which tests character understanding and emotional transformation.

The casting director Huang Peng said: "Teacher Zeng, you look at the camera and perform. I will read the protagonist's lines and act with you."

"Okay, no problem." With that said, Zeng Wei sat in front of the camera.

All the directors present looked at the monitors in front of them.

With Huang Peng's "Action".

Zeng Wei's performance officially began.

In the scene in front of everyone.

The director (Zeng Wei) faced the camera, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and showed a kind gaze, "Truman. Speak, I can hear you."

Truman (Huang Peng) asked: "Who are you?"

"I am a television producer who gives hope and joy to countless people."

"Then who am I?"

The director looked at the screen affectionately, as if looking at his own masterpiece, and said with a hint of pride: "You are the protagonist."

"All, are they all fake?"

"You are real, that's why the show is so good."

The script on the side read: Truman turned around and wanted to leave at this time.

The director's tone became more urgent, "Listen to me, Truman."

His tone slowed down again, "The outside world is less real than my fictional world. The same lies and hypocrisy. But in my world, you don't have to be afraid. I know yourself better than you do."

Truman retorted: "But you didn't put a camera in my head!"

The director's voice became softer and more authentic: "You are very scared, so you can't leave."

As he spoke, his eyes blinked faster and faster.

He raised his hand and touched the lens, his eyes softening.

It was so soft that Huang Peng in front of the picture shuddered.

Huang Peng touched his arm and found goosebumps all over his arm.

He truly deserves to be a movie king.

The change of mood is really good. I was kind before, but now the kindness has changed slightly.

There was a feeling in his kindness that he wanted to abduct him and sell him.

…

The director in the picture continued: "It doesn't matter Truman, I understand, I have been watching you all your life. I watched you being born, watching you learn to walk, watching your first day of school, your first Lost a tooth."

The director laughed, and the kindness in his eyes was more controlling and commanding, "You can't leave, Truman, you belong here, stay here with me."

Two seconds passed and everything was silent.

The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and his tone was still gentle and persuasive: "Talk to me, just talk."

Another two seconds passed.

The director smiled again, but this time, the God-like and father-like kindness on his face disappeared. He smiled violently and his eyes were full of urgency.

"Speak now. Damn it, you're on TV. It's broadcast live around the world."

After saying that, he continued to stare at the screen angrily.

"Okay, pass." Huang Peng said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Peng heard an English sentence with a free and easy tone.

"In case I don't see you, good afternoon, good evening, and good night."

Looking in the direction of the voice, Chazelle looked at Zeng Wei, smiled freely, and continued Truman's last line.

Huang Peng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Oh my god, he really felt when he said this, and his tone was relaxed and calm.

I have to say that the director is really good at it, and he just feels right when he speaks casually.

Zeng Wei, who was auditioning, was also stunned, and then reacted and smiled at Chazelle, "It's an honor to have the honor of acting with Director Chazelle."

Zeng Wei exchanged a few more polite words with the people present, and then left the audition room.

The door of the audition room was closed, and the room became quiet.

The assistant director saw that no one spoke, and smiled and said, "Teacher Zeng acted very well."

The producer echoed, "Indeed, all kinds of emotions were performed, and there were many levels."

The two assistants also echoed and praised a few words.

After all, Zeng Wei not only acted well, but Chen Xiao greeted him as soon as he entered the door.

With such a relationship, Director Chen will definitely speak for him, right?

Then just go with the flow and praise him a few words.

However, just after they finished praising him, they heard the casting director Huang Peng say: "I still feel that it is a bit unsuitable. When I see him, I always think of Andrew, the designer of the Titanic."

The assistant's mouth trembled.

Brother, you are really brave.

The list you selected, he has such a close relationship with Director Chen, and you are suggesting not to use it now?

Do you understand the ways of the world? No wonder he was suppressed by his predecessors in Lezhong.
