After finishing the filming of Mo's anniversary endorsement commercial and finishing the final promotion of "Prince", Bai Yu began to prepare for his new drama.
--Escape from the dead end.
This is China's first apocalyptic escape film with Bo Yu as the producer and first investor. The content includes traditional Chinese witchcraft, Taoism, and the rise of zombies in foreign countries.
The largest investor is the Song family, Song Jun.
This was decided by Bai Yu after holding the script in front of Brother Song for a long time before making the final decision - Song Jun decided to invest in "Escape" in the name of the Song family.
Even though he doesn't like the show very much.
However, it would be nice if he gave it to Little Candy as a gift when they first met.
"Escape" is China's first zombie film directed by Zeng Xun, with Bo Yu as the producer and Xiao Li and Liu Guoqin as co-writers. The long process of casting has officially begun.
After Bai Yu received the revised script from the two screenwriters, he stayed up late to read the revised script. After reading it, he decided that he would play the male lead - a pseudo-Taoist priest who is both stupid and stupid.
Another male lead, a retired military officer, and the female lead are still being cast.
Bai Yu, who attaches great importance to this drama, has canceled all recent road shows and advertising work, and concentrated on participating in casting activities with the director and screenwriter.
"There are currently five candidates for the role of a retired officer. Our selection direction is: tall, long legs, strong, masculine, and bronzed."
"The first is actor Liu Kai, the second is second-tier niche Peng Yu, the third is Hu Yun, the fourth is Yuan Shi who plays the victorious general, and the fifth is kung fu star Zhang Wei." Director Zeng Xun held him When asked about the photo of the second male lead selected by the screenwriters, his face was full of confusion, "Which one do you want to choose?"
"Liu Kai can't do it. This role requires a lot of fighting scenes. Although Liu Kai's appearance and acting skills are very suitable, he rarely takes fighting scenes now. His old arms and legs can't do it." In addition to their personal relationship, they are very good. Okay, otherwise Bai Yu wouldn't say bad things about Liu Kai in front of everyone.
Everyone knows that Bai Yu and Liu Kai have appeared in variety shows together and have also filmed rival scenes, which were directed by Liu Kai himself, so the relationship between the two must be good in private, otherwise Bai Yu would not have said these things unscrupulously, so he did not Take Bai Yu's words to heart.
"Zhang Wei's appearance is very suitable and his acting skills are also good. The most important thing is that he is a star and has good boxing and kicking skills. Otherwise, it will be him."
Xiao Li proposed cautiously. After speaking, he glanced at Bai Yu and Zeng Xun and said, "Okay?"
"That's okay, but Zhang Wei is busy filming during this period. I heard that he has two movies on hand, so he probably won't have time to take us on." Zeng Xun touched his chin and said.
"Hu Yun can't do it either. His schedule can't be adjusted." Liu Guoqin, another screenwriter who has a good relationship with Hu Yun in private, shook his head with regret on his face.
He had just met Hu Yun two days ago. He was busy filming at the costume film and television base during this period. He had a full schedule and no time at all in the near future, so Liu Guoqin was quite disappointed.
Bai Yu tapped his index finger on the table, and the expression on his face was rare and serious. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and said: "In this case, only Yuan Shi and Peng Yu are left. Let them find some time." Come over and have an audition. If it doesn’t work, just widen the scope. You don’t have to find someone with a certain popularity base.”
"You mean, we can also try to promote newcomers?" Director Zeng Xun shook his head in disapproval, "The role of this male protagonist must have several points, such as basic acting skills and body shape. Such a person will not only be in the entertainment industry Look, I don’t recommend you find someone new.”
The two screenwriters nodded in agreement.
"The new guy is not bad, why don't you agree with finding a new guy?" Bai Yu looked at him curiously. He didn't know much about this aspect, so he didn't quite understand the director and screenwriter's ideas. For him, as long as the appearance is suitable, his acting skills are fine. Later cultivated.
I think when he first started filming, didn't he just stand there with a face to gain popularity, without any acting skills at all.
But this does not mean that he will always rely on his appearance for acting.
All old people have evolved from new people.
Zeng Xun smiled, picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, and said: "It's not that we are biased against newcomers, it's just that this role really requires a certain foundation of popularity and acting skills. It's difficult to film the role of a retired officer. , if the performance is not performed well, the image we present to the audience will be completely distorted."
"I personally think Yuan Shi is good. I think his acting skills and appearance are very suitable for the role of this officer." Xiao Li suddenly picked up a photo of Yuan Shi and said, "And there is Yuan Shi in the popular Prince. I have seen it. His performance is very good and he handles small details very well."
"His appearance is also very suitable. His acting skills and appearance are guaranteed, but I don't know if his schedule is available." Bai Yu murmured in a low voice.
He had some issues with Yuan Shi on the crew because of the incident with Prince's original male lead, Xiao Zhao. There had been some misunderstandings between the two of them, so he... wasn't sure whether Yuan Shi would play this role.
In fact, to be honest, when Bai Yu first got the script, he felt that he was more suitable for this role. He and Yuan Shi have been on the same crew for several months. Sometimes when he has nothing to do, he will watch Yuan Shi's interpretation and performance of the role.
It's very good to say something very pertinent.
If the original appearance was not suitable for the male lead who played the prince, Bai Yu felt that after the crew fired Xiao Zhao, the first person they looked for would definitely not be him.
It should be Xiao Zhao.
"Bo Yu, you have acted with him before. What do you think of his acting skills? Can he take on this role?" Liu Guoqin looked at Bai Yu. The honest screenwriting teacher said: "If he is suitable, we will contact him to come over for an audition." ."
"He acted well." Bai Yu touched his chin and said, "You ask me why, you will know after watching TV."
Liu Guoqin smiled naively and touched his head. He was also afraid that Bai Yu would be unhappy, and he was worried that Bai Yu would be unhappy with their own actions.
However, Bai Yu doesn't seem to be such a stingy person, and he shouldn't be angry, Liu Guoqin thought to himself.
Bai Yu said: "Okay, the problem of the second male protagonist is solved, now let's talk about the heroine."
After a pause, he said: "Tomorrow's audition, I remember there is also an audition for the female lead. Do you have anyone in mind?"
"We have the candidates." Zeng Xun took out a dozen photos from his bag and said, "These are our preliminary ideas, but after eliminating some problems, we selected these."
After saying that, Zeng Xun took out two or three photos from the dozen or so photos and threw them aside. There were about a dozen photos left and said, "We have contacted their agents and they can all come to audition tomorrow."
"These..." Bai Yu took a look and was immediately happy. They were all acquaintances.
Among these twelve photos, there is Chu Wenwen, Shan Yan, two are the wives of the other two male guests in "Baby Baby", and one is a good friend from when they were filming.
"Why is Chu Wenwen here?" Bai Yu took out Chu Wenwen's photo alone and placed it on the table. "Do you think her appearance is suitable?"
Chu Wenwen's appearance is sweet, and the identity of the only heroine in "Escape" is a famous female star before the apocalypse. She has a very good personality and appearance. Bai Yu personally feels that Chu Wenwen's She doesn't look like a heroine.
"Your idea is too outdated." Zeng Xun shook his head and said: "Do you understand the contrast? Chu Wenwen's acting skills and appearance are both good. Her aura can rely on her own packaging and clothing. Who said she is sweet? The actress can no longer play the role of the queen?"
"In the past few years, there has been a counterattack by a female star with a bun face. She is very popular because of her good acting skills. She can't play any role, so her appearance will not be restricted by her acting career." Liu Guoqin added, "Bo Yu, you don't have to be too narrow-minded."
Bai Yu, who had a narrow vision: "..." Forget it, just be happy.
"Are you coming for the audition tomorrow?" Seeing that the matter was settled, Zeng Xun put away the files and a lot of photos on the table. These things must not be seen by others.
"Yes, there is an audition tomorrow. Bai Yu, please come and see the hero and heroine in your mind." Liu Guoqin opened the beer and drank while talking, his tone slowly and mockingly.
Bai Yu concentrated on playing with his mobile phone and ignored them.
The next day, Bai Yu, who had changed into a black outfit and wore sunglasses, walked in from the outside. Under Shan Yan's disbelieving eyes, he walked to the producer's position and said, "Okay, let's get started."
The director, producer, and screenwriter sat down in rows.
Although Shan Yan was surprised that Bai Yu would appear at the audition, he was a professional actor after all. Seeing that the performance had already begun, he calmed down his emotions, lowered his head, and began to develop the emotions of the character.
Shan Yan shook her long hair, sat on a chair, crossed her legs, lowered the sunglasses on her face, and said in an arrogant and lazy tone, "You want to cooperate with me?"
She showed a scornful and disdainful smile, "Only you, a big fool and a fool, are qualified to team up with me?"
The person opposite didn't know what was said.
Shan Yan smiled coldly at the air, "Okay, then I will give you a chance to conquer me. If you defeat me, I will form a team with you."
After saying that, she stood up and took off her coat in front of everyone, revealing her white vest. She stepped on the chair and mocked: "Come and conquer me, let me see what you are capable of!"
After saying that, the disdain and arrogance in Shan Yan's eyes subsided, and he said with a smile: "Thank you everyone, my performance is over."
Bai Yu glanced at Shan Yan.
Chu Wenwen, who was sitting in the auditorium on one side, saw this and slowly curled her lips.
Ha, that's quite interesting.
□Author's gossip: [171]Eating Chapter 17H—When there is competition, there is motivation.
After Shan Yan finished her performance, the remaining powerful actresses immediately used their best skills, and each performance was more amazing than the last.
Soon it was Chu Wenwen's turn.
Chu Wenwen came over and sat down. She glanced at Bai Yu from the corner of her eye, with a smile on her lips. She quickly got into the mood without introducing herself too much.
Shan Yan was already determined to win this role, so she folded her hands on her chest and watched Bai Chu Wenwen's performance casually with an indifferent expression, not taking Chu Wenwen seriously at all.
During this period, Chu Wenwen became famous because of her role as Han Yan, the courtesan in the hit drama "The Prince". She was the most popular and popular, but Shan Yan only admitted that her current popularity and popularity were higher than his own, but after that, But it’s hard to say.
The foreign drama she previously participated in has just been released abroad, and it will take a few days to reach China. By then, I don’t know who will be popular and who will think of this. Shan Yan’s self-confidence is even stronger. That drama is very popular abroad, and the eccentric female doctor she plays in it is also very popular, and she is currently enjoying herself abroad.
So now Shan Yan already has this confidence.
Chu Wenwen sat on the chair, her eyes became careless, and she took out a pack of cigarettes from her pocket - which she had just asked the director to borrow.
Everyone didn't know what she was going to do at first, but now they finally understood after seeing Chu Wenwen's action.
A glimmer of light flashed in Bai Yu's eyes. Yes, adding this setting will make the character fuller, and the act of smoking can also make the character's personality more vivid and three-dimensional.
Just as he was thinking about it, Bai Yu turned around and planned to tell the two screenwriters about the plot, but saw that Liu Guoqin and Xiao Li had already come together to write down the plot with a pen, and they immediately fell silent.
They were more professional than him, so he had better not talk about such things.
Chu Wenwen put the cigarette in her mouth, touched her body, and cursed in a low voice: "Damn, it fell!" As for what fell, everyone here knew it.
"You came to me because you want to form a team with me?" Chu Wenwen looked at them with her head tilted and a charming smile suddenly appeared on her expressionless face, "Get out of here" with a cigarette in her mouth. !I’m not interested.”
The person opposite didn't know what was said.
Chu Wenwen suddenly laughed, took the cigarette out of her mouth, carefully put it into the cigarette case, and then carefully stuffed the cigarette case into her pocket. The whole process was very careful, so that everyone present could see this of Chu Wenwen. They all secretly admired her careful handling of details. In the apocalypse, cigarettes are very precious, so people in the apocalypse attach great importance to precious items such as cigarettes, and their importance is no less important than women's aunt's scarves.
-In the apocalypse, many items that were once popular items are now precious items, such as auntie towels.
"You're a stupid guy, and you're an idiot, you just want to team up with me?" Chu Wenwen pointed at her nose, as if she heard something ridiculous, until she heard the affirmative tone of the two people opposite. , sneered: "Okay, conquer me, and I will follow you."
After saying that, Chu Wenwen stood up and threw her clothes aside, stepped on the chair, looked at the person opposite arrogantly, her tone was full of disdain: "Conquer me, and I will follow you, otherwise , don’t even think about me working for you!”
At this point in the performance, Chu Wenwen immediately restrained all expressions on her face, showed a big smile, and said to everyone: "My performance is over, thank you."
The faces of the people sitting in the auditorium were filled with deathly expressions. They were all women, and they were as careful as their hair.
So they had already seen a trace of satisfaction from Chu Wenwen's excellent performance and the expressions on the director's and their faces...
...I also understood indirectly that they had no chance.
No matter how good the performer is, he can only maximize his acting skills when following the script. However, the actor's understanding of the character is also important to make the character vivid and three-dimensional. The small actions and expressions added by Chu Wenwen are reflected in the performance. The different heroines' personalities and speaking tones made them feel... She really figured out the heroine's whole person, so she added these little tricks.
All in all, they felt that Chu Wenwen won.
Shan Yan's expression also became very strange. She thought her performance was very good, and because she was the first one to perform, the people who performed later would be more or less preconceived about her performance, but Chu Wen The feeling Wen's performance gave her...
very special.
Chu Wenwen walked back, wiped her sweat, and smiled at Shan Yan who had a weird expression, "You did a good job."
"Thank you." Shan Yan thanked her sincerely.
"Yes." Chu Wenwen took the tissue from the assistant's hand and wiped the sweat from her face.
Not long after, the audition for the heroine ended, and the specific results will be notified.
Bai Yu did not participate in the audition for the retired military officer because Yuan Shi was involved in it. He knew very well that Yuan Shi had negative emotions towards him. In order to prevent the latter from seeing that he had lost his level during the audition, Bai Yu consciously did not participate in the male audition. Audition for the lead role.
Anyway, with the director watching, it's not a big deal if he leaves for a while.
Bai Yu thought to himself, who was about to leave in advance, but as soon as he reached the door, he was startled by Chu Wenwen who was blocking the door, "What are you doing here? You almost scared me."
The two of them had a lot of contact when they were filming "The Prince" because they had many scenes opposite each other. In addition, Chu Wenwen no longer looked at Bai Yu through colored glasses like before, so it was natural for her to discover the hidden qualities in the latter's character. Shining point.
So the relationship between the two of them is no longer as rigid as before.
Chu Wenwen snorted: "You didn't do anything shameful. Why do you feel guilty?"
"Can't I be scared if I haven't done anything shameful?" Bai Yu said angrily while taking pictures of his chest, "What are you doing to me?"
It has been twenty minutes since the audition ended. Bai Yu didn't believe that Chu Wenwen was tired, so he stayed here to rest.
"My sister and her two friends were eating nearby. She knew I was auditioning here, and she also happened to know you were here, so she asked me to suppress you and eat with them together." Chu Wenwen finished her words in one breath, and then became impatient. He said: "What are you doing whining? Let's go."
"It's you who begged me to go to dinner, not me who begged you to go to dinner. Don't be so aggressive." Bai Yu followed her slowly and teased, "I haven't seen you for a few days, my acting skills have improved a lot, tsk tsk."
"What are you tutting?" Chu Wenwen felt uneasy in her heart when she heard his "tsk-tsk" sound.
"The way you held the cigarette with your fingers just now was very professional and skillful." Bai Yu walked to his car and took out the keys from his pocket and said, "You look very skillful. How long have you been smoking?"
"Only a few years." Chu Wenwen watched Bai Yu get into his new car, and then looked at her simple red sports car. She became jealous and ran over to knock on Bai Yu's car window.
The car window was pulled down, and Bai Yu's handsome face was revealed, saying, "What are you doing? Didn't you say you were going to eat? What are you doing here?"
"My car... hasn't been maintained for a long time. It's a bit embarrassing to drive it out. I'll ride in a car with you." Chu Wenwen looked at Bai Yu's car enviously, "I want to buy a new car, but my mother said that the car at home There are many cars, how can you buy a new car if you don’t let me buy one?”
"Haha, I didn't buy this car." Bai Yu understood her intention and glanced at the red sports car behind Chu Wenwen. It was the latest model last year. The style was not bad, but it was different from his "fenshou" car. The latest model is much inferior in comparison.
"Are you actually being kept by Song Shilin?" Chu Wenwen said in disbelief.
Bai Yu took out the sunglasses placed on the roof of the car, put them on slowly, and then said: "My brother gave them to me. Yes, I am the legendary young man of the new century who likes to be taken care of and chew on the old. Okay, you go and see your little broken car by yourself, I’m leaving first, okay?”
After saying that, Bai Yu rolled up the car window in front of Chu Wenwen, stepped on the accelerator and drove away. After driving a few meters, he honked the horn a few times.
The sound of Bai Yu's car horn suddenly sounded in the quiet garage.
Chu Wenwen cursed and took the car keys to drive her car, "Bo Yu, this bitch!"
When Chu Wenwen arrived at the agreed place to eat, Bai Yu was already grabbing barbecue with Lin Yi. He walked over and said, "Where is my sister?"
Chu Xiaoxiao walked in from outside the door, "I just went to the bathroom, why did you come here?"
"She came out a step too late. There was a traffic jam as soon as I left the intersection." Bai Yu swallowed the roast meat in his mouth and grinned at Chu Wenwen, "I know, there was a traffic jam at the intersection just now, right? There's nothing we can do about it. , it’s rush hour after work.”
"Sister, look!" Chu Wenwen pointed her finger at Bai Yu in disbelief and complained to Chu Xiaoxiao.
Chu Xiaoxiao chatted with Jiao Li and pretended not to hear. Chu Wenwen was not good at this. She would complain to her whenever something happened. How could she care about such things? Besides, it was normal to have traffic jams during rush hours after get off work.
Jiao Li said: "Wenwen, the barbecue is ready. Take a bite quickly, otherwise the two of them will eat it again."
Bai Yu and Lin Yi took one bite of barbecue and ate it happily with beer. "If you don't eat it, you'll have to wait for the next one."
Chu Wenwen sat on the empty seat, picked up her chopsticks and took a few bites, then said, "Why are you a producer?" "I'm not just a producer, I'm also the leading actor." "Bo Yu has just received an internal priority notification from the director and knows that the heroine has been confirmed to be Chu Wenwen, so he has no worries.
Chu Wenwen: "... When did you become the leading actor? I remember that the audition for the leading actor had not started before I left. Is this an unspoken rule?"
"I have unspoken rules for you, you big-headed devil."
Bai Yu angrily stuffed all the remaining barbecue into his mouth.
When Chu Wenwen reacted, she found that all the cooked barbecue had been eaten by Bai Yu, and now he was just starting to bake the next batch, and suddenly: "□Author's gossip: New article seeking collection [172] Hangover
