PFC Chapter 214 Actor Auditions
Chapter 214 Actor Auditions
"Then come and keep me company after you've finished your preliminary preparations!"
"Anyway, there's still plenty of time before filming starts, enough for you to prepare... or rather, you just want to be lazy!"
Oh no, this cunning little fox actually guessed my scheme!
Gu Heng simply closed his eyes, leaned his head back on the sofa, and pretended that the signal was bad and he couldn't hear it.
Seeing Gu Heng's nonchalant attitude, the little fox leaned forward, her red lips almost touching Gu Heng's earlobe.
Her voice instantly hardened, and she called out in a charming, seductive tone, "Brother Royal Brother~~"
Holy crap! Gu Heng was startled by the incredibly sweet sound.
Where did you learn this trick?
"You say everything is empty, yet you keep your eyes tightly shut. If you open your eyes and look at me, I don't believe your eyes are empty~"
Yang Mi breathed softly, continuing her vigorous delivery, "Just say yes~"
Gu Heng took a deep breath, knowing that he couldn't escape this fox spirit's spider cave today.
He suddenly opened his eyes, let out a long sigh, and looked at Yang Mi with an expression as if he had made a big decision.
"In that case..." Gu Heng said with a straight face and a serious expression.
"Then I will obtain the true scriptures first, and then marry you, so as not to betray the Buddha or you!"
The little fox blushed, bit her lip, and said coquettishly, "You rascal," before obediently turning around to study the script.
……
Ever since Su Qing released the news of the open auditions for "Edge of Tomorrow"
The entire entertainment industry was in an uproar!
A $1.5 million film!
Those domestically produced films that claim to be epic productions have at most an investment of one or two hundred million yuan.
Actors from Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong went crazy, with their agents scrambling to book flights to Beijing.
Whether you're suspended on wires in Hengdian or sunbathing in the Maldives, fly back overnight!
Even if I don't get a core role, even if I only get to appear in the movie for three minutes.
Even if I fail the audition, at least I can make my presence known to Director Gu and Chairman Han.
Who knows, maybe one day Director Gu will remember you when he's writing a new script?
His future career was far from smooth sailing!
Three days later, at the Vision Entertainment audition.
Today is the first day of the male lead's audition.
The vast audition lounge was already packed with a huge crowd.
At first glance, wow, they're all either top stars or leading figures from major film and television companies!
All four of the most popular middle-aged actors, Chen Kun and Deng Chao, were present.
Even Liu Ye, who doesn't usually take on many sci-fi commercial films, huddled in a corner, frantically memorizing character biographies.
Male stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan were even more extreme; Wu Yanzu and Peng Yuyan sat obediently, waiting for their numbers to be called.
Gu Heng thought to himself, if a grenade were thrown into this room, the entire Chinese entertainment industry would be disrupted for at least ten years!
Interestingly, the doormen who were calling out numbers at the entrance today were none other than Huang Xiaoming and Huang Bo, those two clowns!
Huang Xiaoming still makes a cameo appearance, retaining his memory line from "The Source Code".
Huang Bo also had the advantage of being close to the source, securing a supporting role in the film in advance through an internal audition.
As for the other artists, Tang Yan and Jing Chao are working hard on "Love is Not Blind".
Bao Qiang, Tong Liya, and the others were also informed that there would be a sequel to "Detective Chinatown".
There was no time after that, so naturally I didn't get the role.
Huang Xiaoming and Huang Bo, having nothing better to do today, decided to act as guides.
"Number 35! Number 36! Get ready, it's almost your turn!"
Huang Bo was shouting at the door, acting just like a bathhouse manager.
Huang Xiaoming was in charge of registration on the side, and he didn't forget to hand water to his nervous colleagues.
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. Director Gu is usually very kind. He's usually smiling as long as he's not yelling at people."
The actors who came to audition were so shocked by what they heard that their legs went weak. Is this supposed to be comforting?!
Under the shouts of the two.
The actors went in one by one and then came out.
Since the film was going to be released, Gu Heng and his team naturally took it very seriously.
Investors Han Sanping and Wang Changtian were present.
Wang Jinsong and Cui Ma were also invited by Gu Heng to help.
The audition for the male lead took two whole days.
All sorts of deities displayed their unique abilities, leaving Gu Heng dazzled.
Ultimately, everyone made a joint decision and decided on the male lead.
Liu Ye!
In terms of age, temperament, and acting skills.
Liu Ye is in his early thirties, which is perfect for playing a military officer who transforms from a cowardly old fox into a savior.
His natural stubbornness is quite in line with the male protagonist's characteristics in the early stages.
Moreover, this guy made art films in his early years and attended several major international film festivals, including Cannes and Venice.
It also has a certain degree of popularity overseas.
When Su Qing called Liu Ye's agent, the hands on the other end of the line were shaking violently!
Liu Ye himself was completely stunned on the spot.
He mingled among those dozens of powerful figures, originally intending to participate with the mindset of simply enjoying the experience.
As a result, this gold brick that fell from the sky hit him squarely on the head!
Once the toughest part—the male lead—was decided, the rest of the roles fell into place.
It took Gu Heng another two days to quickly and efficiently fill in the supporting cast.
After the list was finalized, Gu Heng and Han Sanping discussed it together.
Pack them all up and send them to military training!
Train hard!
So, Mr. Yang, who was visiting the set of "Love is Not Blind" and acting as a supervisor, suddenly sneezed loudly.
She was unaware that her husband, along with Han Sanping, had already meticulously planned out her comfortable life ahead.
After securing the cast, Gu Heng went into full-on, non-stop mode, focusing relentlessly on the pre-production work.
We need to keep an eye on the special effects progress, select the hardware equipment carefully, and coordinate with China Film Group on the availability of real military equipment and locations.
There was just so much stuff, I was so busy I was practically running around on my feet.
A week later, Warner Bros. also sent over the list of Hollywood casters.
With the time ripe, Vision Entertainment, in conjunction with Warner Bros. and China Film Group, simultaneously announced the full cast of "Edge of Tomorrow" on Chinese and international social media platforms!
With the news confirmed, the domestic public opinion field once again boiled over.
Ordinary viewers only have pure anticipation.
The casting is extremely reliable. Liu Ye is paired with Yang Mi, plus a group of powerful actors and Hollywood gold medal supporting actors. This lineup looks really promising!
Meanwhile, the film and television industry was in a state of utter despair.
There's nothing you can do; Director Gu didn't approve. You can't change anything no matter how much you plead.
