You don't understand the happiness of the director

Wu Jing never expected that Lu Jingshan would receive an audition invitation for "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". The day after tomorrow, wouldn't it be an audition for Shirley Yang?

And I heard from her that Wangdao Pictures approached her because they had seen her performance in "Spike", otherwise she would not have caught the attention of others as an unknown little actor. "I have to thank Brother Jing. "

Wu Jing said, "There must be something shining in you that others can see, but Director Wang is an upright person. He chooses actors just like he chooses actors. There is no such mess. So don't worry, I will invite you to Director Wang's house tomorrow." Let’s eat at the private chef, I’ll make a reservation now, by the way, it’s too deserted for two people, it’s okay if I call another girl.”

Lu Jingshan, "Is this girl you are talking about the one you like?"

"Yeah."

Lu Jingshan held her forehead, really worried for him, "Brother Jing, I advise you not to do this. Either it's just the two of us and find a few buddies, or you just date her alone. How can you get out of singlehood like this!"

"Ah, isn't it appropriate?"

"What did you say?"

Thanks to Wu Jing's affirmation of his character, Wang Quan slept with an actress who auditioned for Shirley Yang the next day.

However, out of a total of 12 actresses, he only slept with one, so he can indeed be called a gentleman.

Wang Quan's main job on the second day was to edit the film with the editor and watch the film.

In fact, not all of these ten actors fit in with his vision of Hu Bayi, but they each have their own characteristics that attract them. If they don't cooperate this time, it doesn't mean there won't be opportunities for cooperation in the future. For example, one day he might want to make a comedy. Deng Chao is a good choice. He is willing to take risks. If one day he wants to make an action movie, Wu Jing is a good choice. Or if he doesn't like Zhen Zidan, he can turn to Zhao Wenzhuo.

Moreover, participating in one's own male lead audition can be regarded as a kind of qualification for young actors like Zhu Yawen and Gu Zhixin. It can also be regarded as a little support for them, and I hope it can help their acting careers.

In the meantime, Wang Quan had a phone call with Liu Yifei. "To Youth" has started shooting, and she has returned to Wuyuan to continue filming "Fireworks in the World".

In addition to making this call as a couple, Liu Yifei also asked about the auditions of Zhu Yawen and Huang Xiaoming. In fact, she also knew Chen Kun among these people, but she was only 15 years old at that time, a junior high school student, and older people like Chen Kun and others. There is an obvious generation gap among the actors.

"Yawen performed very well. He has the kind of temperament I want, but he is a bit too young. He was the only one born in the 1980s yesterday."

"So there is no chance."

"Why, he asked you to inquire?" Wang Quan laughed.

"He's just a little nervous. I've never seen him worry so much about gains and losses."

Indeed, if he chooses to reach the sky in one step, he will avoid more than ten years of detours. At least in 2025, Yawen will not be able to become a leading actor of the level of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", so it is inevitable to worry about gains and losses.

Wang Quan said, "Actually, Yawen ranks very high in my heart. It's easier for a new actor to shape into the shape I want. However, whether I choose him or not depends on the heroine. If I want to make a movie about Ghost Blowing Lantern with a young cast, He is the only choice, otherwise he will be eliminated first, it depends on the result of my audition for the heroine tomorrow."

"Well, I understand, what about Brother Xiao Ming?"

Wang Quan said straightforwardly, "Xiao Ming has no chance. It's not the feeling I want at all."

Liu Yifei said, "A moment of silence for Brother Xiao Ming~"

After that, she didn't disturb Wang Quan's work anymore, but then she sent her boyfriend a photo of the moon in Wuyuan. Wang Quan couldn't help but sigh, the starry sky in the countryside is really nice.

Liu Yifei thought for a while, and then told Yawen on QQ.

"Ya Wen, I asked Director Quan and he said that your disadvantage is that you are too young, but he is actually very optimistic about you, and youth is your capital."

Lu Fangsheng:? ? ?

Liu Yifei, oh, why did you post it to the class group! Where is the withdrawal and how to withdraw it?

Qi Kui: Did Yawen go to audition for Hu Bayi? That’s awesome!

Liu Jing: So the competition failed?

Jiang Yiyan: It’s normal to fail. Many A-list celebrities are eyeing this role.

Liu Yifei: I’m not sure yet, don’t say that.

Luo Jin: Yes, we believe Yawen can do it.

Zhu Yawen looked at the discussion in the class group and couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth. Since "Crossing Guandong", it was the second time that he became the focus of the class. It was just an audition. If he succeeded...

Alas, seeing what Concubine Yi meant, she was probably in doubt, but fortunately I didn’t have high hopes.

Zhu Yawen: In terms of success or failure, life is heroic. At worst, I have to start over again, but please don’t spread the word. I’m afraid it will affect other people’s publicity rhythm.

Ma Wenlong: We were afraid that we would spread the word, but it has already spread outside!

Zhu Yawen: Huh?

On this day, news about the audition for "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" began to circulate on the Internet. Wangdao Building was crowded with people, and some other corporate tenants had recently been introduced. In addition, the paparazzi had been watching. This candidate was watched by countless book fans and movie fans. Hot news.

Chen Kun, Liu Ye, Huang Xiaoming and others were basically photographed, and netizens jokingly called them "the top ten male stars vying for the throne."

Just as Wang Quan thought before, when Zhu Yawen and Gu Zhixin were recognized by netizens because of their audition for Hu Bayi, and were placed together with Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun and others, their popularity also increased, and people who were not familiar with them were all Ask them who they are, I have never heard of them before.

Then people who are familiar with it will take the opportunity to put out "Crossing the Guandong" and "Cha Classmate Boy".

"Let me see them all, it's not a bad idea to fall into the trap!"

Others took the opportunity to vote on their scarves, "Place your bets, place your bets, guess who will become Director Quan Hu Bayi in the end!"

All ten audition actors were scouted out. As it turned out, Liu Ye was far ahead. There was nothing we could do about it. After all, the author of the original book was based on him. Fans of the book all know this and can directly substitute his face when reading the book.

Liu Ye, who has been actively grabbing sofas on Weibo, laughed out loud when he saw the voting results. It would be great if Director Quan could listen to netizens when choosing actors.

Before the popularity of Hu Bayi's selection has subsided, another piece of news about Shirley Yang has become a hot search topic.

"Breaking news! Maggie Q has arrived in Beijing and is suspected of auditioning for Shirley Yang!"

If Liu Ye is Hu Bayi in the hearts of book fans, then Maggie Q, an American Asian actor who became famous in Hong Kong, is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate for Shirley Yang in the minds of many readers.

She was born in 1979, and is 170cm tall. She is of mixed race. Her representative works include "The Secret Service", "Dragon Disarm" and Hollywood's "Rush Hour 2", "Mission: Impossible 3", "Die Hard 4", etc. She can be regarded as Lucy Liu The best Asian actress’s face.

Wang Quan and her met once at the premiere of Disc 3, and a photo was leaked, so as soon as she appeared in the capital, she was naturally considered to be auditioning for Shirley Yang, and the probability of being selected was very high.

Her appearance also made other actors who auditioned for Shirley Yang feel pressure. On the set of "If You Are the One 2", Shu Qi used a tablet to view the photos of her in full aura at the airport, and couldn't help sighing, this is a bitch. Not kind!

Ge You happened to be passing by. After hearing this, he glanced at the tablet in Shu Qi's hand. He knew that she was busy auditioning recently and was holding a copy of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" all day long. "Qi, don't forget that you are here too. .”

"Tangshan Earthquake" has not been released yet. Because they were worried that there would be no market for such films, Huayi asked Feng Xiaogang to urgently start the sequel to "If You Are the One", which will be released by the end of the year. The company's stock price must be stable.

That night, Wu Jing entertained Lu Jingshan from Xiangjiang at a banquet in Meifu. Coincidentally, two other female friends contacted him that day, so Wu Jing invited them together. One was Zhang Jingchu whom he met while filming "City Alert" , they play a couple, one is Yu Nan whom they met while filming "Western Wind".

They were all women. Wu Jing was afraid that he would suffer a disadvantage, so he called Duan Yihong, who became a good friend because of "Western Wind".

At the dinner table, Duan Yihong asked Lu Jingshan what her new friend was doing in the capital. She directly said that she was here to audition for Shirley Yang in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".

Suddenly, the atmosphere at the scene turned cold. Yu Nan and Zhang Jingchu put down their chopsticks at the same time and looked at the mixed-race girl with some amusement.

Wu Jing foolishly told them to eat quickly, completely unaware of the seriousness of the matter, but Duan Yihong could already feel that something was wrong at the scene.

"Nan, what have you been busy with lately?"

"I'm auditioning for director Wang Quan's new film."

Wu Jing was stunned, "Is it Wang Quan or Wang Quan'an?"

Yu Nan smiled and said, "Wang Quan, without An, Baldhead and I would have broken up long ago."

It's been two years since they broke up, but there's still no official announcement.

Wu Jing was astonished and didn't know what to say. Zhang Jingchu on the side also laughed, "What a coincidence, I'm also preparing to audition for director Wang Quan's new film, and there's no peace."

Wu Jing almost dropped the beef in his hand. Lu Jingshan also looked at Wu Jing with a confused expression, Brother Jing, what kind of game is this tonight? Hongmen Banquet!

But Wu Jing quickly regained her composure, "Then we can communicate. It just so happened that I just auditioned for Hu Bayi yesterday. Although there is definitely no chance, I still hope that some of you can succeed, even if only one of you succeeds. .”

Duan Yihong also laughed, "Let's talk about it then. Damn it, what did you audition for?"

Wu Jing said cheerfully, "First of all, Director Quan will give you a small piece of paper, asking you to write down your expected salary for the first film and the salary for the sixth film. I suggest not to write it too high, you know Deng Chao, okay. Guy, I just wrote 30 million, and the director took me out alone to chat for a while."

Lu Jingshan listened attentively with her eyes wide open. Yu Nan also nodded repeatedly and took notes secretly. Zhang Jingchu felt around on his body and found a small notebook. A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. I am here today. Isn't that right? Is it equivalent to an open-book exam?

She and Yu Nan contacted Wu Jing because they saw the news about him participating in the audition and wanted to get some inside information about the audition. Director Quan didn't say it couldn't be told, so Wu Jing just told it all, and it was pretty good. Work hard, including the twenty questions, the three women did it all on the spot, but the questions will probably be changed tomorrow.

Zhang Jingchu and the others plan to read the original work again when they go back, and they cannot read the published version. If they want to read it, they can read the original version online, as the content inside is more original.

It was still dark the next day, and the outside of Wangdao Building was almost surrounded by paparazzi from all over the capital. Female stars were obviously more newsworthy than male stars, especially when the director was Wang Quan.

After Wang Quan heard about it, he simply asked his employees to lay a long red carpet outside the building leading directly to the parking area, and informed the actresses to walk directly on the red carpet into the Wangdao Building and make some preparations.

Fan Bingbing's eyes lit up after hearing this. She had to say that people who came back from Hollywood knew better about hype. She quickly contacted her connections in the fashion circle and prepared to get a dress that would outshine the rest. She didn't have much hope of auditioning. A trip to the red carpet is worth it.

Red carpet lovers are ecstatic.

At the same time, news related to the "Kingdao Building Red Carpet" has appeared on the Internet, and there is even a live broadcast of pictures and texts on the scarf.

"Hasn't it started yet? Oh my god, I'm more excited than watching the Oscars."

"Our Director Quan is really good at it!"

"I heard that several A-listers who wanted to audition for director Quan didn't agree because they weren't suitable. No matter how famous they are, it doesn't matter~"

“The movie has already raised expectations even before it’s even been shot, and we have to say that about our director Quan!”

"I heard that Zhang Ziyi is coming too."

"It's fake. She is still filming "The Grandmaster" with sunglasses. This film may not be filmed until the end of the year, and her schedule will not be free at all."

"I don't know if Fan Bingbing will come, but I'm looking forward to her."

"It's no use coming here. She doesn't look like Shirley Yang. If you choose her, you don't have to look forward to this movie."

"I would still like to see Sissi play Shirley, but it seems that she is still filming in Gan Province."

"I guess Director Quan already auditioned Sissi in bed, so he must be dissatisfied, hahaha."

"Here it comes, here it comes, someone is walking on the red carpet!"

"Who is it? This picture is too blurry. Is there anything clearer?"

"It seems like the paparazzi sent a clear photo. It's Shu Qi. Oh my god!"

"Paparazzi One-stop" is Yi Longhan's Weibo account. He ambushed Wangdao Building two days ago. He took many photos of Liu Ye and others.

He has been waiting for the heroine's audition for the past two days, and he finally got it, but this time there were many more people with him, and it felt like the opening ceremony of a film festival, but they didn't dare to get too close, but he was still the first Suddenly, a clear photo of Shu Qi was taken.

Although Shu Qi has a not-so-good background, she has made a solid road ahead. She won the Golden Horse Award for her collaboration with Hou Hsiao-hsien, and expanded overseas business. She has "The Extraordinary Trafficker" in Hollywood, and she also received the "Kimchi Country" award. "My Wife is a Boss 3", coupled with the cultivation of almost all good resources in Hong Kong and Taiwan, is fully capable of competing with the mainland's fourth generation, and the international influence of the younger generation is second only to Zhang Ziyi.

What she regrets most is probably the rejection of the role of Yu Jiaolong in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" by Li Xian. At first, Li Xian wanted to cooperate with her, and Zhang Ziyi was her alternative. This was because of Zhang Yimou. For his sake, even if Zhang Ziyi joined the team, Li Jian did not give up communicating with Shu Qi.

Who would have thought that this movie would become such a hit. It is still the top of the North American foreign language film box office list and has not been shaken for ten years. So after that, Shu Qi became more and more aware of the power of great directors. Director Wang had a call, and she never Director Feng asked for leave and came right over. Regardless of Director Feng's unattractive expression, he actively cooperated with the red carpet.

Wang Quan also showed full respect and waited downstairs to greet the actresses. After shaking hands and hugging Shu Qi, he asked Clara to take them upstairs.

In the elevator, Shu Qi asked Clara, the assistant, "How many people are auditioning in total?"

Clara replied, "12~"

(Unexpectedly bad news, have a nice journey in July~)
