Chapter 244 With the Queen as Your Virtuous Wife, You and Shilan as Your Two Beautiful Concubines Are Enough!

On September 29, in a conference room of Oriental Media.

Five actors and three directors who played roles such as Chunsheng and Long Er sat in the conference room.

"That's all for the morning. Thank you for your hard work."

Chen Xiao closed the script.

The casting of "To Live" has been completed and entered the script reading and actor training stage.

The casting work in the past two days went quite smoothly.

This time, the casting does not require fame or good looks, but only one condition - good acting skills.

Therefore, in addition to actors from entertainment companies, the crew also targeted Peking Opera and drama troupes.

Even many old artists were invited to play supporting roles. For example, the role of the mayor was played by a national first-class actor.

At present, except for Fugui's daughter Fengxia, all have been decided.

The reason why Fengxia has not been decided is that three actors with similar looks are needed to play the role of childhood, adolescence and adult Fengxia.

The casting director is still looking for people.

After finishing the script analysis work in the morning, it was already 12 o'clock.

Chen Xiao sorted out the papers in front of him.

Qiao Hong, the actor who plays Chunsheng, stood up and stretched, "Director Chen, are you going to the restaurant?"

"No, I have something to do in the afternoon, you guys go ahead."

"Okay."

...

Two hours later.

Chen Xiao was sleeping soundly in the bedroom.

Suddenly, a giant holding a broom appeared in his dream, "It's three o'clock! Why don't you get up! If you don't sleep in the middle of the night, you won't get up during the day."

Chen Xiao opened his eyes instantly.

Three o'clock?

He sat up suddenly and heard his mother knocking on the door outside, "Aren't you going to the crew of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" in the afternoon? Why don't you get up at three o'clock?"

Yesterday, my father came to fish, and my mother came to give him the specialties brought by relatives, and the two stayed last night. My mother has no classes today and hasn't returned to her hometown yet.

Chen Xiao touched his mobile phone and opened it.

14:01.

There are still nine minutes before the scheduled wake-up time.

Haha, it's three o'clock. Mothers really have a unique understanding of time.

Forget it, I won't sleep anymore.

Chen Xiao opened the door, yawned, and walked downstairs to the cloakroom.

Weng Manxia followed behind, nagging: "You played games until three o'clock last night? How old are you, and you still don't know how to restrain yourself when playing games? Sleeping at this time, your body..."

Just then, a rhythmic electronic sound interrupted her nagging.

"The master works day and night, and still arranges troops through games late at night. The master's extraordinary foresight and great strategy have stabilized the company and the industry. The circle is becoming more and more peaceful, and the master is indeed a great talent for all ages!"

Weng Huiqin paused when she went downstairs, and the whole person was stunned in place, staring at the robot in a daze.

Isn't it that young people nowadays are so crazy?

Playing games in the middle of the night, and letting the robot say that he arranges troops and has a long-term strategy?

This... still has shame?

This robot is really a traitor, full of flattery.

Just as she was staring at Xiaobai with unkind eyes, she heard Xiaobai say again:

"Xiaobai understands the master's painstaking efforts. I hope the master will take the dragon's body as the most important thing. While conquering cities and territories, he should also relax appropriately!"

Uh, is it persuading Chen Xiao to go to bed early?

It doesn't seem to be a traitor. Is it encouraging education?

I have to say, its words may really be more effective than nagging?

Thinking so, Weng Huiqin walked down the stairs, frowned and looked at the robot carefully.

In the cloakroom next to her, Chen Xiao turned over his coat one by one.

I will go to the crew of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" later.

Because there are too many roles and there are a lot of actors auditioning, in order not to interfere with the operation of the company, Fang Rong and others decided to audition at the film and television city.

He went to go shopping. There were too many people in the film and television city, so he had to dress low-key.

"Low-key, which one will not stand out?"

Just after he finished speaking, he heard Xiaobai behind him say: "Master, are you going to visit incognito? Xiaobai recommends this one."

When Chen Xiao turned his head, he saw Xiaobai holding a dark blue coat.

This one is indeed good, and the pure black one is more conspicuous.

"Okay, this is it."

Chen Xiao took the coat with satisfaction.

It must be said that after Xiaobai turned on the loyal minister mode, he gave a series of unpleasant and honest advice, and felt that his life span had become longer.

It is worthy of being a loyal minister, prolonging life and contributing to the grand cause. !

...

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

Chen Xiao and Chi Yu took the company's car and came to the Ming and Qing Imperial Palace Theme Film and Television City.

Outside the car window, palaces were scattered in an orderly manner.

Above the red wall, the roof was paved with yellow tiles, and the eaves were high.

Soon the car drove to the area rented by the crew.

After parking and walking into the yard, I saw sixty or seventy actors divided into seven or eight groups, standing outside.

Most of them were actresses, beautiful and unique.

Some characters wore simple Qing Dynasty costumes, while others wore modern clothes.

Chi Yu exclaimed, "So beautiful, I understand the emperor a little bit."

As soon as he said that, he suddenly realized that he might have said something wrong, and turned back quickly.

"No, Director Chen, I don't mean anything else. I just appreciate the actors' good looks. Appreciation, pure appreciation."

The entertainment industry is highly competitive, and some people abuse their power for personal gain.

The stage of selecting actors is one of the stages with the most primitive desire transactions.

He also wants to protect his feathers.

Chen Xiao asked, "It's not easy to be an emperor. Have you read the script?"

Chi Yu nodded, "I read the beginning before coming here. The Queen is gentle, Concubine Hua is domineering but cute, and Zhen Huan is well-read. Now I understand what the emperor said to Zhen Huan: If I were not the emperor, I would just be a rich prince, with the Queen as my virtuous wife, and you and Shi Lan as two beautiful concubines, that would be enough. However, this is the emperor's perspective. I am an honest man."

Chen Xiao pursed his lips.

The Queen is a virtuous wife, and Zhen Huan and Nian Shi Lan are two beautiful concubines?

It is indeed enough.

Enough to kill his whole family.

Chen Xiao patted Chi Yu's shoulder, "The Queen killed the children, Concubine Hua killed the concubines, and Zhen Huan killed the emperor."

"Ah?"

Chi Yu was shocked.

Ah? Ah?

Wait a minute, his CPU is a little burned.

The emperor likes these three, and these three also like the emperor, right?

Then the three of them together can massacre the city?

Chi Yu looked at the actors waiting for the audition, with more awe in his eyes.

If there were more of them, the Qing Dynasty would have fallen...

However, he had never worked with a crew of a costume drama. Putting aside the content, the costumes and makeup were very novel to the staff.

No wonder Director Fang likes to shoot ancient times, it is really interesting.

The two continued to walk forward, and just a few steps away they met the assistant director who was walking out with a list.

After saying hello, Chi Yu asked, "Brother Wang, where is Director Fang?"

Old Wang had dark circles under his eyes and sighed, "Director Fang is resting. He was casting until 12 o'clock last night, and he was so tired that he took a quick-acting heart-saving pill at night. We will slow down today."
