Entertaining Children

Zhou Jingyi will have a job in China in the near future. Kevin Scott and Russell Seth are two Yankees who have no jobs recently. It is the first time they come to China. They plan to take the opportunity to play in China. Mu Ying hasn’t returned for a long time China is gone, and there is no job in the United States for the time being, so they are not in a hurry to return to the United States.

Immortals will have a concert tour in the second half of the year, and they will have some work in the United States recently, and they will return to the United States. However, their schedule is not so tight. They don't have to leave for the United States on the second day of the Golden Dragon Awards Ceremony, and they can still spend two days in Huaxia.

After Xiao Yao participated in the Golden Dragon Awards Ceremony, the focus of the next stage of work will be the TV series with Yin Xi. The preliminary preparations for this TV drama project have been carried out to a certain extent. Xiao Yao didn’t personally participate in much work before. participated.

The filming location of this trendy urban TV series was set in Shanghai, and the casting and audition work was also carried out in Shanghai. So after attending the Golden Dragon Awards Ceremony, Xiao Yao had to fly back to Shanghai to audition for the casting. However, the job of casting and auditioning was handed over to a casting studio in Shanghai for preliminary screening of personnel, and the specific audition time was determined by Xiao Yao. The date has not been determined yet, and it is not impossible for Xiao Yao to rest for two days.

Muying, Kevin Scott, and Russell Seth don't need Xiao Yao to control their actions in China, but Xiao Yao from the band still needs to take care of them. Plus, the band doesn't stay long, so After the Golden Dragon Award Ceremony, Xiao Yao and Zhou Jingyi, who was waiting for the team members to complete the band, played in Yanjing for two days. After sending them back to the airport, they left for Shanghai.

During these two days, Zhou Jingyi's private team also arrived in Huaxia and joined Zhou Jingyi. Since Zhou Jingyi was in Yanjing, her team flew to Yanjing from Los Angeles. Zhou Jingyi's next studio is Donghai Satellite TV's dance reality show. They are going to Shanghai TV station to discuss with the program team, so the group went to Shanghai with Xiao Yao's team and Yin Xi's studio team.

After arriving in Shanghai, Zhou Jingyi started to work, and her daily itinerary was arranged by her private team. Xiao Yao also entered the working state, contacted the casting studio selected for the project, and asked him to arrange the casting and audition work.

When casting the movie "Donkey Gets Water", although Xiao Yao gave some restrictions, but to be honest, there were not many actors who were willing to audition.

On the one hand, although the external comments say that Xiao Yao is a genius, he is very good at everything, and many people are not hesitant to praise him, but when it comes to his personal interests, he will inevitably have many concerns.

It is true that Xiao Yao has done very well in making short films and animated films, and has won awards for both, but his ability to independently direct a live-action feature film has not yet been proven. Being able to make a good short film and an animated film may not necessarily make a good live-action movie, and there is still a big difference.

Speaking of live-action movies, Xiao Yao already had a work released at that time. "Parkour Boys", which was released during the Spring Festival last year, did well at the box office and received good word of mouth. Xiao Yao is undoubtedly one of the core characters in this movie, but when it comes to directing and producing abilities behind the scenes, that movie doesn't seem to be enough to prove Xiao Yao's ability.

For that movie, Xiao Yao was only one of the directors. Although the theme of the movie is parkour, and Xiao Yao is one of the founders of parkour, judging from the style of the movie and the age, experience and experience of the two directors, it is generally believed that the USC Mu Ying, a master's student in the directing department, is the lead. People in the industry generally still have no idea what a feature film independently directed by a young man in his early twenties can look like.

On the other hand, the producer and producer of the film are both young people film and television company, a newly established company. The industry regards them as a company co-founded by several small partners, which seems a bit fun.

Doesn't seem very confident either. After the establishment of this film and television company, the first two projects announced were two projects with a new team.

Projects that dare to use newcomers in front of and behind the scenes as the production team, except for some independent film crews with insufficient funds and really no way, generally no film and television company will do that. And this new company not only did it, but also opened two. Although many people follow the media to brag that they dare to think and do, have ideals and drive, but in their hearts, their real thoughts are: whether it is for the gimmick of confrontation between schools or to find job opportunities for classmates, open these two Projects are very unreliable behavior. Sure enough, it was a company started by a group of second-generation stars, and they just used money to burn it for fun.

Whether it is from the director who occupies a central position behind the scenes or the production company of this film, this film has not aroused much interest in the industry. When Xiao Yao said in the show that the heroine Sun Tingting decided to be a pure rookie with no acting experience at all, everyone looked down on her even more. Even if it was later reported that Xiao Yao had brought the famous art master Lin Jingliang into the group as the art director of the film, it did not restore the impression of too many people.

Therefore, when casting for "Donkey Gets Water", the casting studio received very few actor resumes.

However, this TV drama project is different this time.

First of all, the producer and producer of this TV series is still Xiao Yao's young film and television company, and this is their company's second TV series project.

In the past half a year or so, the two film and television works produced by Young People Film and Television Company have been broadcast and released successively, and both have achieved good results, which can be regarded as having a certain reputation. As far as TV drama projects are concerned, the ratings of the TV drama project with a new team of young people film and television company last year are very reasonable.

TV series projects and movie projects are different. Compared with movie projects, directors are more important, TV drama projects are actually more about the team, that is, the production company, rather than just who the director is. Of course, even looking at the director alone, this project is not bad. The director of the new TV series project of the Young People Film and Television Company this time is not Xiao Yao, nor is he a newcomer, but a director with a good reputation in the industry for urban dramas.

On the whole, there are not many newcomers in the behind-the-scenes production team announced by this project, but there are many well-known staff members in the industry, so logically speaking, this TV series project should be better than the previous TV series with all newcomers. better.

Secondly, the scripts received by all brokerage companies and entertainment companies bear Xiao Yao's signature. Leaving aside the quality of the script, this is a project of Xiao Yao's youth film and television company. Xiao Yao is the screenwriter, and the age of the first male in the script is not much different from Xiao Yao's actual age. The casting company said that it is not responsible for the audition of the male and female partners, which means that the male and female partners may have already been confirmed. Many people couldn't guess who the female number one was, but they basically guessed that the male number one was probably Xiao Yao. Even if it wasn't Xiao Yao, at least he was one of Zhao Rui and Lin Qisan.

With Xiao Yao's current fame, once this TV series starts broadcasting, at least its ratings and topicality should be guaranteed. Although there is no opportunity for a man and a woman to play together, the brokerage companies and entertainment companies do not have all the first-tier big names in their hands. If the second- and third-tier actors in the company can participate in this TV drama project, then wait for them. After this TV series starts broadcasting, it is very possible to use this TV series to go a step further.

Therefore, this time, the casting studio responsible for the early stage selection of actors for this TV drama project received a lot of actor resumes, and the list of candidates listed for Xiao Yao was far more than Xiao Yao imagined.

I have been busy with movie promotion before, and then I was busy with the Golden Dragon Awards ceremony. In the next two days, Xiao Yao played around Yanjing with Zhou Jingyi and the band members, and didn't want to enter the working state, so Xiao Yao didn't have time to read the list of candidate actors until he arrived in Shanghai.

As an actor, especially a star actor, even if he does not join the crew to film, he may have other work tasks. On the production side, the director and producer are not free every day during the preparatory stage. When the casting studio arranges the audition time, it needs to take care of the schedule in two aspects.

After Xiao Yao came to Shanghai, he started to work, and he will not pick up work later, that is to say, his time is fixed. The director of this show is called Chen Jun. Apart from caring about the formation of the behind-the-scenes personnel of the crew, he is just waiting for Xiao Yao to choose the cast together. After the time on the producer's side is free, the casting studio will start to contact the agents or agencies of all the candidate actors, and communicate with them to determine the specific date and time of the audition.

There are many candidates for each role, so it takes a certain amount of time for the casting studio to arrange auditions. The casting studio told Xiao Yao at the beginning that all the arrangements could be made in about three days, and it was estimated that the audition could start in two days at the earliest.

During these two days, Xiao Yao has not been idle. Now that he got the list of those candidate actors and their information, Xiao Yao also took the time to find out in advance. Not only did he just look at their profiles, Xiao Yao even found out their previous performances and took a look, and even learned about the news about the acting period.

As a result, after such an understanding, Xiao Yao found the casting studio the next day and asked him to readjust the candidate list. Because of the many actors on the list, Xiao Yao felt that there was no need to audition at all.

When formulating the list of candidates for audition, the casting studio kept in communication with the producer. Xiao Yao hasn't seen the list of candidate actors for a long time, but the director of this TV series has already seen the list. The fact that the casting studio can send this list to Xiao Yao basically means that the list is approved by the director.

Although the status of directors in TV drama projects is not as good as that of movie directors, they are quite authoritative. Xiao Yao didn't want to destroy the director's authority at will, so before asking the casting studio to adjust the list, Xiao Yao first contacted the director Chen Jun, communicated with him, and then went to the casting studio together to ask him to change the list of audition actors.

The director of this TV series is called Chen Jun. Although he is young, less than forty years old, he is also a well-known director in the industry. Chen Jun is the director that Young People's Film and Television Company has found for this TV drama project. He does not belong to Young People's Company, and signed a contract with the company for the title of this drama. Since he is not a member of the company, but a collaborator, Xiao Yao did not call him to the company for an interview, but invited him to a coffee shop outside to communicate with him in a relatively relaxed environment.

The two met in the coffee shop. After exchanging greetings, Xiao Yao quickly got to the point, smiled and said to Chen Jun, "Director Chen, I asked you out today because I want to discuss with you about the audition."

"Mr. Xiao, do you have other things to do recently? There is a problem with the audition time?" Chen Jun said with a smile, "Now the preparations for the crew are progressing well, and the behind-the-scenes personnel your company has found are all very good, I am very satisfied .So I'm basically fine now, as long as you can make the casting studio match the time of the audition actors with your time, I have no problem at all, and I can use your time."

"I've already set aside the next few months, and I won't be busy with other things." Xiao Yao said, "So it's not about the audition time, but the audition actors."

"A question about the audition actors?" Chen Jun asked strangely, "Didn't the casting studio finalize the list of audition actors? It should have been sent to you, right? Do you think there is a problem?"

"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded, "I have received the list of audition actors. I looked at it and felt that some people are not worth our time wasting to let them audition. I want to find a casting studio to adjust the audition list of actors. The casting studio said that you have seen the list, so I want to talk to you first before asking them to change the list."

"Okay," Chen Jun nodded, "What do you think is wrong with this list?"

"By the way," Chen Jun continued, "To be honest, I think such a list of audition actors is a bit better than I expected."

"Unexpectedly good?" Xiao Yao looked at Chen Jun and said.

"That's right!" Chen Jun said, "You have already decided on a man and a woman. The roles that need to be auditioned in this drama can be regarded as supporting roles, so there are not many actors on the list who are considered first-line stars. But this one is almost all candidates for supporting roles." As far as the list is concerned, it should be the list of candidates with the highest average popularity that I have seen in recent years."

"It turns out that the reputation is so good!" Xiao Yao laughed, "For a play, it is a good thing for an actor to have a high reputation, but the key is that we can't just choose actors based on popularity, but also whether they will Acting!"

"Can you act?" Chen Jun smiled. "The people on this list should be okay, right? There aren't many newcomers in it. Those who have acted before should all be able to act."

"Having acted before doesn't mean you know how to act. What we're looking for is good acting." Xiao Yao said.

"Whether the acting is good or not is a very subjective feeling." Chen Jun said, "For a character in the same play, some people think that the acting is good, and some people think that the acting is not good. This is normal."
