On the first day of audition, the male second, the young master of Jade Sword Villa.
Although he is the second male lead, and the role is relatively heavy, but the presence of the character is not very strong. Although the story of "Convulsive Wind" is closely related to the brother and sister in Yujian Villa, it is actually an out-and-out leading male lead, and Shen Jingfeng's biggest roles, highlights and flashes are all on Shen Jingfeng. Although the character design of the male second Fu Yunqi is not bad, it can only be said to be quite satisfactory, and the light is almost suppressed by Shen Jingfeng.
Most of the popular male stars are unwilling to play such a role. Although Bai Xinyan is popular now, the only ones who are willing to act as supporting roles for him are the second and third tiers who are not very popular, or Little Transparent. The second and third tiers are still actors, who have been in the industry for many years and have little room for advancement. . But those who followed the popular route did not accept the invitation to audition from the crew. It stands to reason that in Zhou Yang's movie, there should be many young students who took the initiative to grab the second male lead, but knowing the setting of the script and the fact that Bai Xinyan is the male lead, they all declined directly.
Because of Yin's global endorsement, Bai Xinyan's status has risen a lot, so it's not shameful to act as a partner for him. But on the one hand, Bai Xinyan is still quite a newcomer after all, and after all, it will be a bit ugly to be suppressed. It would be good if there are two male leads. On the other hand, it is because Bai Xinyan's acting skills are too good, but most of their acting skills are not good. The film itself is a leading male lead, and the second male lead is not very good, and it is not easy to attract fans. When the film is released, the acting skills will be even worse after the comparison. I'm afraid not only will it not attract fans, but it will also lose fans.
After all, if you are playing with a senior with more experience, you can still find excuses if you are not compared. If he is compared with a newcomer like Bai Xinyan with incredible acting skills, he will only be hung up by marketing accounts to ridicule him, and it will become a negative hot search every minute.
Because of this consideration, most of the well-known actors who came to audition were in their late thirties or even older.
However, Fu Yunqi's setting is only for teenagers, and it is not suitable for people who are too old to act, so the crew simply relaxed the conditions and asked many newcomers to audition.
The movies produced by Xinghuan are naturally given priority to the newcomers of Xinghuan. Bai Xinyan auditioned for a classmate of his who was in Xinghuan's training class, he was surprised and reacted, and smiled at him.
The one who came to the audition was Zhou Han, a classmate of Bai Xinyan who had attended a class with Acting Class A when he first joined Xinghuan. Although the two had little communication at the time, they were rejected by the rest of the class, and Zhou Han's acting skills were good, second only to him, so Bai Xinyan had a deep impression of him.
Zhou Han had already heard that the leading role was Bai Xinyan, so he was not particularly surprised to see Bai Xinyan sitting in the jury. He introduced himself and started the audition.
Although Zhou Han is a newcomer, his acting skills are already much better than those of some young freshmen with paralyzed faces, but he lacks a little experience. In Bai Xinyan's impression, he still had a scar on his face before, but it has disappeared now. He has a handsome face and a good figure. The overall effect of the audition is quite good.
After watching it, Bai Xinyan felt that it was quite appropriate for Zhou Han to play Fu Yunqi. The age and appearance are more in line with the personality, and the acting skills are sufficient. It's better than the previous auditions.
Director Zhou also showed some satisfaction, and asked Zhou Han a few questions before letting him go down.
After watching all the actors who auditioned for Fu Yunqi, there were two suitable candidates, one was Zhou Han, and the other was a third-tier actor. Both of them are qualified in basic conditions. The third-tier actor is more experienced, and his acting skills are more natural and smooth than Zhou Han, but his appearance is slightly lacking, and his height and appearance are not very good.
The judges were hesitant about who to choose. Director Zhou took the initiative to ask Bai Xinyan's opinion: "Xiaobai, who do you think is the best choice? Fu Yunqi plays with your opponents the most. Who do you think would be more comfortable acting with?"
Bai Xinyan was startled, and replied truthfully: "Zhou Han, I have attended classes with him."
The others were taken aback when they heard the words, and their expressions couldn't help but change. Director Zhou thought for a while, and made a decision: "Then Zhou Han will be settled."
Although Zhou Han's acting skills are a bit weak, he can see that he has good talent, but it's understandable that the newcomer has no experience. When he enters the group and starts filming, he should be able to make progress in just one click. And Bai Xinyan even took the initiative to choose him. Rounding up, this is what the biggest investor means, so naturally it's better to follow along.
In this way, another actor missed the opportunity. Although it was mainly because of his poor appearance, Bai Xinyan also felt a little guilty, so he suggested that he should play another role. Although it is definitely not as good as the male number two, it is still a good opportunity.
It took several days in a row before the cast of "Convulsive Wind" was almost confirmed, and the shooting date was set for the middle of next month.
After joining the group, even if Bai Xinyan has a background, it is impossible to have the opportunity to take a vacation to play, at most, he asked for a few days off due to work problems. Therefore, before the filming of "Convulsive Wind" officially started, Bai Xinyan seized his free time and went to play with Yin Yan.
They flew over to country D several times on the way, and they had almost finished their shopping there, and when they returned home, they spent a while in Yin Yan's manor.
Yin Yan has a large manor in the suburbs of City S. Before moving to an apartment in the city center in order to live with Bai Xinyan, Yin Yan lived here most of the time. Because it is a long-term residence, Yin Yan remodeled the manor in a very special way. Not only are all kinds of living and entertainment facilities readily available, but it is also a rare blessed place for monsters, with abundant aura.
Bai Xinyan and Yin Yan spent several days here on vacation, and they lived quite comfortably. Yin Yan even took Bai Xinyan to see the hidden places in the manor.
It was a place covered by layers of forests, and many hidden and imprisoned formations were added. The location was very large. In addition to the ground, there were several floors below. Not only that, unlike the comfortable and quiet atmosphere in other parts of the manor, this place is heavily guarded and the atmosphere is tense.
"Mr. Yin, isn't this your secret base?" Bai Xinyan was surprised, but not too scared, just curious.
Yin Yan smiled, "Well, do you want to see it?"
Bai Xinyan nodded naturally, and Yin Yan led him through formations and went deep.
After a while, there were people guarding him. When he saw Yin Yan, he immediately lowered his head and said hello. At the same time, he casually turned his gaze to Bai Xinyan, as if he was very curious about him.
Bai Xinyan graciously let them watch, and even took the initiative to show them a smile, which made many people look flattered. Bai Xinyan turned to Yin Yan, "Mr. Yin, are they all your subordinates?"
Yin Yan nodded, "Yes, they've heard of you but haven't seen you, so they should be more curious."
Bai Xinyan realized that Yin Yan was planning to bring him to meet many of his subordinates, and he was very happy at once. He squeezed Yin Yan's hand tightly, and smiled even brighter when he met the next guard.
"This is their training ground and dormitory, and there is also a small area for prison cells." Yin Yan took Bai Xinyan into the building and explained, "They are all monsters, and ordinary people cannot see them during training. , so I added a lot of formation barriers for protection."
Bai Xinyan nodded, and couldn't help asking curiously: "Is there a cell here?"
"Yes," Yin Yan replied. He wasn't worried that Bai Xinyan would think badly of him because he imprisoned others, but he raised the corners of his lips and asked Bai Xinyan, "Do you want to take a look?"
Bai Xinyan was taken aback, and quickly responded, "Look!"
He hadn't seen a prison cell yet, and he really wanted to know who Yin Yan was imprisoning.
"If Hong Yu is not dead, are you going to lock him up here?" Bai Xinyan asked Yin Yan on the way to visit the cell.
Yin Yan shook his head: "There are no heinous people imprisoned here. Hong Yu, who has committed many crimes, must not be allowed to stay. Even if he is not dead, he will not be imprisoned here."
Yin Yan smiled slightly as he spoke, looked at Bai Xinyan and said, "There is a person here that you know."
Bai Xinyan was stunned for a moment, "I know them?" He didn't think he knew many villains who needed to be locked up in a cell, that is, people like Hong Yu and Yu Anyan, so he thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out why.
"It's not the kind of person I passed by occasionally and didn't remember?" Bai Xinyan asked, seeing Yin Yan shaking his head with a smile, he couldn't figure it out, couldn't help but shake Yin Yan's hand twice, trying to act like a baby Come up with an answer, "Mr. Yin, can you give me a hint?"
Yin Yan was still keeping the key, "You can see it later."
Bai Xinyan had no choice but to continue to follow Yin Yan into the room curiously, and then saw the true face of the cell.
If Yin Yan hadn't said it, Bai Xinyan would not have regarded this place as a prison cell. It looks like an ordinary dormitory, and the environment is not bad. The room is not small, with a bathroom, a bed cabinet and a table, and the decoration is not cold, it is quite homely.
If the prison cells are all in this condition, it is no wonder that Yin Yan said that there are not particularly bad people imprisoned here.
"They should be in class, do you want to go and have a look?" Yin Yan asked.
Bai Xinyan also wanted to know which prisoner he knew, so of course he nodded.
The place where these prisoners attend classes is also very good, and they still use information teaching. There are PPTs on the electronic whiteboard, which talk about the control and release of spiritual power.
The teacher on the stage was in a suit and leather shoes, while the dozen or so students off the stage were in strange shapes, either with wings on their backs or hairy ears, and a pair of large pliers in their hands, which looked very strange.
Looking at this scene, Bai Xinyan was confused for a moment.
The teacher who was lecturing noticed their arrival, quickly suspended the class, came over to say hello to Yin Yan, Yin Yan nodded in response, and then said: "Tell that mushroom to come out, Xin Yan has seen him before."
The teacher quickly agreed, and Bai Xinyan vaguely remembered something when he heard the word "mushroom". But before he could make a clear distinction, he saw a young boy with mushroom hair being brought over by the teacher.
The boy looked fifteen or sixteen years old, with red lips and white teeth, and baby fat on his face, he looked very cute. It's just that when the other party saw Yin Yan, he shrank obviously, and Bai Xinyan directly felt the other party's sense of fear rushing towards his face.
He had never seen this young man before, but the reaction of the other party when he was scared made Bai Xinyan feel a little familiar.
But before he used this to find out who the other party was, the young man shivered because he was afraid of Yin Yan. This trembling may have been a little bit stronger, the boy turned into a round mushroom in an instant.
Bai Xinyan: "..." Now he really remembered who it was.
