Most of the actors who came to audition for the role of Bai Qi were younger actors, none particularly old.
Although today's special effects technology can make a person look very young, first of all, it is very expensive. Secondly, for domestic audiences, it is a bit of a drama. After all, "The Immortal Qin Empire" uses big names, and the audience has an innate impression of the actors.
Whenever there are choices, the one with the right age should definitely be given priority.
So Yue Guan and Zhang Yimou started the audition according to the procedure.
The results were pretty much as expected.
You can actually tell it by looking at the barrage.
Although most of the actors who come to the audition have masterpieces or are somewhat popular, in terms of hard power, netizens have just seen a few gods before, and now let them see a group of mortals, and they can tell the difference between them.
"If I have to say one thing, there is really a gap between it and the previous one."
“It’s not that they are not good, it’s just that they are not good enough.”
"I originally thought that the gap between them and those teachers was not that big, but now it seems that I was wrong."
"To be honest, it's so close, the contrast is obvious."
…
Yes, the contrast is stark.
The audience has not forgotten the performances of the previous gods.
Although they are comparing each other, the audience is still comparing them with the previous big guys.
There is something wrong with this comparison.
In fact, it’s not just netizens.
Even Zhang Yimou compares them with his previous ones. After all, they have to film in the same drama sooner or later, and Bai Qi's role is also very heavy. If he can't keep up with other people's performances, it will affect the quality of the entire drama.
"Yue Guan, I'm really not good at it. Whether it's acting skills or status, it's hard to support the role of Bai Qi." Zhang Yimou said.
Yue Guan nodded slowly.
"As expected, Bai Qi cannot be too old according to the setting, so the first choice must be to choose from young actors, which will definitely be difficult to do."
Some netizens on the barrage asked why Bai Qi couldn't find an old actor.
Yue Guan's answer was simple: "What we want to film is the Xian Qin Empire, not Lie Tu's twilight years. The Xian Qin Empire is a group of powerful people. If it is a group of old people in charge, then what is it called Xian Qin? What Xian Qin wants to bring to the audience It is the power and domineering power of Xian Qin, not the twilight spirit. Among the three elders of Xian Qin, Shang Yang and Wei Liao are no longer young. If Bai Qi chooses an older star to play the role, it would be logically unreasonable. It should be a basic operation to be able to maintain your appearance.”
If you become an immortal through cultivation until your skin becomes saggy, then what’s the point of cultivating an immortal
This statement can convince netizens, but in this way, it is really difficult to choose the candidate.
Fortunately, this was within Yue Guan's expectation.
If it were so easy to choose, there would be no need for auditions.
"Go on, next one."
The next person to audition was Huang Xiaoming.
Yue Guan originally didn't have much expectations for Huang Xiaoming, because Yue Guan didn't want to use him at all.
After all, Huang Xiaoming played Ji Fa in "Feng Shen 3".
It is impossible for Yue Guan to make any secondary settings for Ji Fa.
Moreover, Huang Xiaoming also told him before he came that he was just here to go through the motions. Otherwise, if other powerful Mesozoic celebrities were here, and he didn't come, wouldn't he be ridiculed
So Yue Guan casually chatted with Huang Xiaoming and asked him to start the audition.
Then…
Zhang Yimou was excited.
Shadiao netizens were also excited.
Including the actors watching the audition outside the door, they were all dumbfounded.
Zhang Yimou glanced at Yue Guan in disbelief, then rubbed his eyes: "Xiao Ming, go change into your costume and try again."
After all, he was shocked.
Huang Xiaoming was overjoyed, but he did not show it. Instead, he kept recalling the performances of Chen Baoguo, Wang Zhiwen, Wu Gang, Chen Daoming and others in his mind.
Yue Guan told him before that he was only 50% good at acting, but Huang Xiaoming didn't believe it at first.
But later he sorted out his career and found that he seemed to be telling Yue Guan that as long as he acted well and had good actors in the crew, he would be able to go to heaven and not be much worse than his counterpart.
This realization made Huang Xiaoming particularly confident later on.
This time Huang Xiaoming did not target Bai Qi's competitors of the same age. He set his benchmark against several previous greats.
Facts have proved that the leader's upper limit is really unmeasurable, and it depends entirely on the opponent's level, not his own level...
Zhang Yimou was completely shocked: "Yue Guan, do you feel that Huang Xiaoming performed best among all the actors in Bai Qi's audition today?"
Yue Guan: "...Yes."
That's outrageous.
An actor who is not wanted to be used has met the hiring standards.
"Let him try again to see his murderous and general aura." Zhang Yimou was excited.
This time Yue Guan rubbed his head.
There must be nothing wrong with Huang Xiaoming playing a general and murderous spirit.
His body is there, and his plasticity is already very high, and he has played similar roles before.
Yue Fei was played very well by Huang Xiaoming.
Including Xiao Pingzhang in "Nirvana in Fire", he is also a very outstanding general character. Even when his popularity with the public collapsed, the audience who watched him gave him almost unanimous praise. You know how good Huang Xiaoming is. Suitable for this kind of role.
Just as Yue Guan thought, Huang Xiaoming was indeed very good at it.
He is even vaguely qualified to be compared with the previous gods.
Netizens knelt on the ground.
"I always thought the leader was a comedian. Is his acting skills so good?"
"Someone said before that the leader has won the most Best Actor Awards among Mesozoic stars. I thought it was just because of his good connections. I really didn't think his acting skills were good. Now it seems that I am wearing colored glasses."
"There is a saying. The leader is also bad when he makes bad scenes, but he never stretches his crotch when he makes good scenes. He doesn't lose much in scenes with anyone. The upper limit is really high."
"After all, he is the leader who played with Chen Daoming when he debuted. Later, Wang Zhiwen, Jiuji Zhang, Yue Guan... the leader is also a person who has gone through many tests."
"You can see that Huang Xiaoming is the kind of person whose score fluctuates between 10 and 95. Those with the same name as him are basically stable at 85 to 95 all year round, and some are less than 95. The upper limit is actually about the same, but Huang Xiaoming's lower limit Much lower.”
"Those people just now had 95? I didn't feel it."
"Those people just now are not as famous as Huang Xiaoming. I am talking about Deng Chao, Xu Zheng, Huang Bo and the others. Huang Xiaoming's opponents are never others. Even if Hu Ge, Nie Yuan and others are more popular than Huang Xiaoming, but In terms of status, acting skills, and awards, they are not on the same level."
This is really a fandom scene.
Huang Xiaoming not only conquered the netizens watching the live broadcast.
The celebrities outside the door were also dumbfounded.
Chen Kun is the one with the most complicated emotions.
He wanted to say one thing to Huang Xiaoming now: You are playing me.
