That night, Wei Du received a call from the crew of "Da Yan Shang Road".

The other party invited him to participate in the audition in three days, and the relevant script would be sent to the mailbox within an hour.

And the character he wants to interview is none other than Dayan's General Protecting the Nation.

"Do you play yourself?"

Wei Du put down his phone and shook his head amusedly.

He planned to find out what the public's attitude towards Yan Dynasty was, so he clicked on the history section of University A's campus forum.

This forum has been relatively active.

As soon as I entered the edition, a striking title came into view, even with a sense of sensationalism——

"Those Unsolved Mysteries About Dayan".

Wei Du clicked in.

As expected of a college of science and engineering, even in a historical area, the poster who posted the post exudes the characteristics of a man of science and engineering.

The other party directly made a summary in the main building.

"One, the Evergreen Sword, the weapon of Dayan God of War Weidu, has been buried underground for 2000 years without corrosion. Modern high-tech is difficult to replicate. How did the craftsmen do it?"

"Second, the RAR infectious disease that broke out seven years ago finally found a cure by relying on Dayan's "Compendium of Medicine". How far was the level of Chinese medicine at that time?"

"Third, according to the latest unearthed cultural relics, historians have discovered that the military training techniques adopted by Wei Du at that time contained many modern military training ideas. In that backward era, did he just think of it based on the experience of his predecessors?"

"Fourth, Emperor Yanai, Gu Hongxuan, why did his temperament change drastically after unifying the countries?"

……

Wei Du looked at the time, the post was posted at noon today, and more than 500 floors have been built so far.

The historical area is not too cold, but the speed of construction is still unimaginable.

Wei Du quickly flipped through the posts.

The netizens inside expressed their opinions enthusiastically, expressing their speculations.

[There are really a lot of black technologies in ancient China, and most of them gathered in the Dayan Dynasty.If there is a time machine in the future, I must travel to Dayan to have a look. 】

[Actually, I have always suspected that General Wei is an alien who came to help us unify.After the battle, I went back to my home planet (funny)]

[Speaking of military training ideas, in fact, the theories of various schools of thought contain modern philosophy, and it is possible for General Wei to extract military ideas from them. 】

[Luo Ming is an unofficial historical figure, and there is currently no definite evidence to support his existence.There is a saying that the book "Compendium of Medicine" was forged in modern times, anyway, I don't really believe in Chinese medicine. 】

……

The fourth Wei Du didn't know either.

Other related speculations are obviously all incorrect and far from the truth.

For example, the genius doctor Luo Ming is his old friend. The book "Compendium of Medicine" was the one he suggested to Luo Ming to organize carefully so as to benefit future generations.

After flipping to the bottom, Wei Du returned to the main building.

He stared at the fourth point of it.

"The temperament has changed drastically, why?"

After meditating for a while, Wei Du quit this post.

He started flipping through other posts in the history section.

In the end, I came to a conclusion: Although most of the information on Dayan was lost due to several wars, it is precisely because of this that the world's interest in it far exceeds that of any subsequent dynasty.

Just as Weidu closed the website and was about to fully understand the historical materials with definite evidence, the phone rang.

It's Kim Min calling.

"I just received the notebook from the crew of "Da Yan Shang Road", and it has been sent to you. You can start reading it later."

"This drama focuses on merchants. The role of Dayan God of War does not have many roles, but—he has a lot of historical fans, which can be said to be the most among ancient generals. From the few dramas that have been broadcast before Look, even if you play him for only 10 minutes in the whole show, the attention you can get from playing him is huge. If you can get this role and play it well, it is very likely to be a hit."

"It's a very good starting point for newcomers."

"Speaking of which, you happen to have the same name and surname. You were recommended by Jiang Zifeng, so you have a great advantage, so prepare yourself!"

After hanging up the phone, Wei Du said silently: "There are a lot of fans of history..."

History fans, these three words inexplicably brought him a sense of separation.

Forget it, don't want that much anymore.

It's better to play it yourself than to let someone else play it.

He opened his mailbox to check the script.

According to the information sent by the crew, there are five scenes in total.

All require actors to prepare carefully.On the day of the interview, the interviewer actively chooses one of the scenes, and then the crew randomly selects a scene, and then decides the final candidate based on the effects of the two scenes.

Wei Du watched them one by one.

After reading them all, he nodded.

After all, it is in the name of a historical drama, let alone the other plots, the words and deeds of the character in it, it can be said that there is no OOC.

There is really no need to expend much energy to play yourself.

For the next two days, Wei Du stayed bored in the apartment, looking through the historical materials of Huaguo.

Other than that, it's just exercise. He hopes to restore his previous life's physique as soon as possible.

Another day later, a certain hotel under Jiangzhou Film and Television City.

The audition location for "Da Yan Shang Road" is here.The male and female protagonists of this drama have been decided long ago, only some supporting roles have not been selected yet.

Still, the hotel lobby was packed with auditioners waiting in line.

What most of them want to fight for is a role that is close to a role with only a few lines.However, for a role like Wei Du, someone needs to be recommended to participate in the interview, and there are very few competitors.

The heavyweight level of this drama can be seen from this.

"The next interviewer!"

The staff responsible for calling people read their names on their mobile phones, but suddenly stopped when it was Wei Du's turn.

He checked it again carefully, and after confirming that he read it correctly, he slightly twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Wei Du plays Wei Du."

Everyone in the hotel lobby: "???"

"Did you change your name on purpose?"

"Learned, I did this when I knew I was a newcomer."

"It looks ugly, the director will definitely not choose it."

……

When Wei Du walked out from the crowd, he heard such discussions behind him.

He didn't take it seriously, and followed the staff into the interview room.

In the room, the director and assistant director in charge of casting also picked up Wei Du's information.

Director Wang didn't think there was anything wrong with having the same name.

It is unlikely to enter the circle and change the name, and the benefits are estimated to outweigh the disadvantages.

There are quite a few parents who deliberately name their children historical figures, such as one of his cousins.

Seeing Wei Du for the first time, the assistant director commented in a low voice: "This actor is too handsome, and he looks too young, and his appearance doesn't match him."

Dayan God of War, although it is recorded in the history books that "sword eyebrows and star eyes, extraordinary appearance".

However, perhaps because his military exploits are too strong, since the film and television adaptation, all the actors playing this character are over 30 years old and full of heroic spirit.

It can be said that the audience has already left the impression of being a tough guy.

Wang Dao said: "Since it was recommended by Mr. Jiang, there must be something extraordinary."

He asked, "Wei Du, right? The name is a coincidence. Which scene did you choose?"

Wei Du said: "The first one."

The background is before the Yan Kingdom launched an expedition.

The male protagonist argued hard and explained to the Beijing officials the wealth that the business route could bring to the court, but he was denounced as a lie to confuse the public and sentenced to prison.

At this time, Wei Du, who had been appointed General Protector of the Country, happened to pass by pretending to be casual.With his help, the hero was able to meet the monarch.

This episode is completely fictitious.

However, he did intervene in the matter of doing business at that time, so as to plunder the wealth of various countries, otherwise it would be difficult to continue the war.

The assistant director called two staff members.

They play the male lead and the Beijing official respectively, and cooperate with Wei Du to complete this scene.

everything's ready.

Dao Wang said, "Let's begin."

This is no difficulty for Wei Du.

Since the script has no OOC, he just needs to completely release himself.

Perhaps there will still be a slight gap with the self in the script, but an excellent actor will make appropriate adjustments when playing the role.

2 minute later.

Director Wang nodded and praised: "It's almost impeccable, and it looks like a general."

He looked at Wei Du and said, "However, the previous actor who played Wei Du is also very good, so the result depends on the performance of the next scene."

The assistant director drew a note from the side.

He glanced at it first, and then showed, "The fourth scene."

This scene has martial arts.

In fact, as the general who protects the country, except for the first act, the remaining four acts have martial arts.

The assistant director said: "For the part involving martial arts, you can just make gestures and skip it."

Except for Wusheng, it is impossible for an actor to make a good martial arts scene.The specific movements will need to be designed by martial arts movement directors, and then taught to the actors.

Both he and Director Wang have very high requirements for actors. Except for high-risk actions, the use of doubles is generally not allowed.

The young man in front of him looked like he was an idol actor, which was why he didn't really want to use him.
