This Star is Legal But Sick

Chapter 643 "Kung Fu" Casting

 After a type of variety show becomes popular, there will definitely be various follow-up shows.

For example, after variety shows like Love Variety were first introduced to China, a series of variety shows of the same type appeared. Even now, there are still various derivative variety shows released every year.

After all, on the one hand, it can bring exposure to celebrities or whitewash some celebrities who have their own flaws, and on the other hand, it can really make money.

If "The Voice of China" is really good, Jade Bird Entertainment will definitely follow suit.

On the other side, in the Magic City, outside the audition office of the "Kung Fu" crew.

Dozens of people were already standing in the corridor outside the office, almost occupying the entire corridor.

During the preparation of "Kung Fu", the real name of the movie was not announced.

Xu Ye previously said that he wanted to make a movie related to Kung Fu, but the name of the movie turned out to be "Kung Fu".

If you release your name in advance, you will always encounter all kinds of trouble.

Xu Ye didn't want these messy things to affect the filming progress of the movie, and he would handle it together when the movie title was released.

So Xu Ye gave "Kung Fu" a nickname, calling it "The Adventures of Little Gangsters".

The entire crew used this name during preparation.

This name turned away some actors who wanted to participate.

If another director had given it such a name, everyone would probably think it was just a temporary name, but if Xu Ye had given it such a name, everyone would have thought it was true.

Those actors with heavy idol burdens gave up participating in the show, which is not nice to hear.

Xu Ye didn't care that these people didn't come.

There is no need for actors with the baggage of idols in his movies.

During this period, all his energy was focused on the selection of actors for "Kung Fu".

Every role with lines was personally selected and auditioned by him.

There are too many characters in the movie "Kung Fu".

This movie is a group drama, especially the residents of the Pig Cage Walled City, each of whom has his or her own characteristics.

Xu Ye has already finalized some of the actors, but there are still a few left.

These actors in the corridor are all actors waiting to audition.

Gu Xingze is one of the new generation actors. He is 28 years old and signed with a small entertainment company.

Gu Xingze has a fair face. He thinks that his appearance is very high. The reason why he has not become popular so far is simply because his company cannot give him large resources.

The name Gu Xingze is not his real name, it is his stage name, and his real name is not nice.

Gu Xingze stood in the corridor, fanning his resume in his hand, looking at the other actors around him with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

He has now participated in many movies and TV series, and also played the leading role in an online drama.

It's a pity that he still failed to become popular.

After seeing the movie "Nine Levels of Sesame Official" with a box office of more than 3 billion, Gu Xingze made up his mind that he must play a role in Xu Ye's new movie, and it would be best if he could also sign a contract with Xu Ye's studio inside.

Gu Xingze immediately submitted his resume to Xu Ye's crew and successfully got the opportunity to audition.

All this was expected by Gu Xingze.

He is not a new actor, but an old man with rich experience in the industry. He just plays a supporting role in a movie. Can he still win?

Before coming, Gu Xingze also made complete preparations.

First, he got to know Xu Ye. He had scolded Xu Ye in private before.

After all, Xu Ye is young and has good singing and acting skills. After "One-Armed Sword" was released that year, Xu Ye's fight scene completely refreshed the audience's view of Xu Ye.

Gu Xingze, a young actor, has been compared by the audience.

At that time, Gu Xingze felt that his status was higher than that of Xu Ye, and he was very unconvinced.

But now he can only hold his nose and admit it.

"Xu Ye is a comedy director and a very humorous person in life, so I have to show my humorous talent."

Gu Xingze watched a lot of jokes before coming here.

He doesn't know what humor is, he only knows how to pose handsomely for the camera.

But in his opinion, performing nonsensically is not difficult.

The group of ordinary people on the short video platform can act, but he, who has a great academic background, can't act?

In addition, because this movie is related to kung fu, Gu Xingze also searched for a set of boxing techniques on the Internet and practiced them specifically so that he could perform them for Xu Ye during the audition to show his talent in kung fu.

With double preparation, coupled with his rich experience and millions of fans on Weibo, Gu Xingze felt that he was 100% sure to be selected.

He looked around at the people in the corridor, feeling more reassured.

None of the people who came to audition today are as handsome as him.

There was even a man standing next to him with dull eyes and an appearance that had nothing to do with handsomeness.

This man looks a bit like an extra.

"There's no need to audition for this kind of image, right? Not necessarily, what if there are special needs for the image." Gu Xingze thought to himself.

At this time, the man seemed to notice his gaze and took the initiative to grin at him.

Then he walked towards him.

This man showed a somewhat honest smile, but he seemed to have no good control over the muscles on his face, which caused his smile to be very stiff when he smiled.

"Hello, my name is Huang Huihuang." The man said.

Gu Xingze smiled and said, "My name is Gu Xingze."

He didn't really want to talk to Huang Huihuang, but everyone came up to him, and it would be quite embarrassing to stand without talking.

Gu Xingze asked casually: "Which company do you work for?"

Huang Huihuang said seriously: "Hongyuan Electronic Technology."

Gu Xingze was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that there was any company in the entertainment industry with this name.

No, you're a **** electronics factory, right?

Gu Xingze was numb.

He thought that everyone who could come here had acting experience, or was an artist from an entertainment company. Why were people from the electronics factory here?

Gu Xingze immediately put Huang Huihuang into the column of uncompetitive opponents.

Driven by curiosity, he asked: "What do you do in the company?" Huang Huanghuang said seriously: "I am an assembly line worker."

Gu Xingze suddenly understood that he had no desire to continue the conversation.

"Xu Ye is still too young. This kind of person should not be let in when screening resumes. The audition is a waste of time."

Just as he was thinking about it, a staff member came out and shouted: "Huang Huihuang and Gu Xingze come in."

Gu Xingze's face lit up, and he quickly straightened his collar.

If he goes in with Huang Huihuang, he will be more confident.

This person is completely uncompetitive, which only highlights his professionalism.

Gu Xingze ignored Huang Huihuang and walked towards the office.

Huang Huihuang followed closely behind.

When Huang Huihuang walked into the room, many actors in the corridor also started discussing.

"Who is this Huang Huihuang?"

"That's bad, why is Gu Xingze here too? He needs to compete with us for a spot."

"If nothing else, Huang Huihuang looks quite funny, maybe there will be some drama."

"Nothing can compare to Gu Xingze when it comes to acting."

The actors here obviously know Gu Xingze.

In the office.

Xu Ye sat with the casting director. In addition, He Shuhong also sat next to him.

He Shuhong didn't have much to do recently. He was simply brought over by Xu Ye to help.

He Shuhong naturally obliged and helped Xu Ye a lot in the preparation work.

When Gu Xingze came in, he immediately saw Xu Ye and He Shuhong sitting in the main seats.

He walked up to the two directors and bowed: "Hello, Director Xu, Director He. My name is Gu Xingze. I am an artist from Pinxian Entertainment. I have participated in..."

Gu Xingze introduced himself, and after that he added: "Director He, we met once at the Beijing University Film Festival."

He wanted to continue talking, but found that He Shuhong had no reaction at all.

So he changed the subject and said, "Director Xu, I particularly like your songs."

Xu Ye said calmly: "Really? I don't believe it."

Gu Xingze was immediately embarrassed.

If you’re not a buddy, just tell me how you want me to respond!

He suddenly couldn't hold himself any longer.

At this time, Huang Huihuang was also standing next to him.

There was almost no expression on Huang Huihuang's face, and he felt like facial paralysis.

Xu Ye's eyes lit up after seeing Huang Huihuang.

He likes this image very much, it's a bit spicy.

"Huang Huihuang, please introduce yourself."

Huang Huihuang said seriously: "My name is Huang Huihuang. I am a worker on the assembly line of Hongyuan Electronic Technology Company. I performed the dance Swan Lake at the company's annual meeting and sang the song Materia Medica in the Rolling Stone KTV room. I On the surface he is a worker, but in reality he is a musician.”

Huang Huanghuang's tone had almost no ups and downs when he said these words, and there was no emotion at all.

Gu Xingze almost laughed while listening to this self-introduction.

What the **** is the Swan Lake dance performance at the annual meeting?

What did you sing in the KTV private room?

What's there to say about this?

What did you mean when you finally said you were a musician?

Where is your music?

Gu Xingze felt that this was like having nothing to write on his resume, so he listed all the things he had sent out flyers.

He Shuhong immediately moved his eyes after hearing Huang Huihuang's introduction.

He looked at Xu Ye again.

Not to mention, the self-introduction just now really sounded like Xu Ye.

But looking at Huang Huihuang's expression, it doesn't look like he was acting.

Xu Ye asked: "Are you really a musician?"

Huang Huihuang said seriously: "I think I am. I have a song I recorded on my phone. Do you want to listen to it?"

"No, thank you." Xu Ye said.

Gu Xingze had already noticed something was wrong.

It's bad, Huang Huihuang's eyes were sucked away.

Fortunately, Xu Ye took two pieces of paper from the table at this time.

"On paper is what you are going to perform. You have three minutes to prepare. Gu Xingze, you have experience. You come first. Huang Huihuang comes second."

Gu Xingze took a look at the paper and saw that it contained a short scene with lines and actions, but not much.

On the one hand, you have to memorize the lines, and on the other hand, you have to perform.

"It's my area of ​​expertise."

Gu Xingze began to look at it seriously.

After three minutes, Xu Ye stood up and said, "Director He and I are here to act for you."

Gu Xingze immediately smiled and said, "Please, Director Xu."

Xu Ye walked to the open space in the middle of the room, then bent down, with his body bent at 90 degrees.

Gu Xingze looked at the script in his hand and asked doubtfully: "Director Xu, what are you playing?"

Xu Ye's voice came out.

"I played the faucet."
