Unscientific Movie King

Chapter 98: Winning the No. Male Role, the Terror of Jin Lian

There is no description of Li Xiaoyao's appearance or clothing in The Legend of Sword and Fairy.

But there are cover promotions in the game, from 1995 to now, there are several versions, and Qin Chuan has too many choices.

For this audition, he chose the one that was featured on the early cover.

The long hair is combed on top of the head, similar to a ponytail, youthful and energetic.

The outfit is exactly the same blue and white as in the game, with a scarf hanging around the collar and three long swords on his back.

After leaving the conference room, Qin Chuan said to Jin Lian, "Sorry for the long wait. What's the situation outside?"

"Hiss." Jinlian took a breath of cold air and looked up and down uncontrollably.

Qin Chuan’s outfit is actually not that handsome, not as handsome as Qi Ye in A Chinese Ghost Story.

But he looks like Li Xiaoyao.

The information about Xianjian was sorted out by her before being handed over to Qin Chuan. She knew more about Xianjian than Qin Chuan.

At this moment, Qin Chuan looks so much like Li Xiaoyao, green, clean, and full of youthfulness.

"Don't worry about what's happening outside. Give me a smile. A badass smile."

"Is that so?" Qin Chuan raised the corner of his mouth, just like Edison Chen, and glanced at Jinlian's chest and neck with ill intent.

Jinlian felt as if she was being teased: "Alright, that's enough, restrain yourself later and don't look so lustful."

"There's still time, go and line up first."

Qin Chuan rushed to the room where everyone had gathered before to wait, leaving Jinlian and Wang Tingting behind.

Jinlian stretched her head to look into the small conference room and saw Wang Tingting putting Qin Chuan's changed suit on a hanger and putting a dust cover on it to prevent it from getting dirty.

The same goes for leather shoes, put them neatly.

Then she packed up her dining utensils and dressing box one by one.

Wang Tingting saw someone out of the corner of her eye, glanced at him, and nodded with a smile.

Jinlian also nodded.

Before, she thought that Qin Chuan found a pretty girl to be a makeup artist just to release his hormones.

After seeing the little girl's makeup skills, she realized that Wang Tingting was really skilled and had done a great job on Qin Chuan.

Two flowers bloom.

As soon as Qin Chuan entered the room, a bunch of Li Xiaoyao looked at him in unison, and the air became quiet.

Everyone else’s Li Xiaoyao is the same style, but Qin Chuan’s is custom-made, with a sword on his back.

"No, buddy, that's how you play, right?"

"Why are you playing like this? I'm a little tall and I was worried that the company didn't have my size, so I brought a set myself. Is that not okay?"

"First the Armani suits, now the specific period costumes, you really have one outfit after another."

Before the audition started, dozens of Li Xiaoyao were still very polite to each other.

After putting on ancient costume, all it takes is strength.

Other people's ancient costumes are either too loose or too tight, and some people's makeup is not good, and the headgear does not match their face shape.

As a result, Qin Chuan started with a big move, put on a specific set of ancient costume, and instantly opened up a large gap between them.

How can others play this?

No wonder some people are trying to trick him.

Qin Chuan was unwilling to give in, and raised his hand to draw out the big sword from behind: "Why, it seems like you want to practice?"

His sword is a prop, made of wood, but it's no joke if it hits someone's body.

The man who just spoke took several steps back and said nervously: "What are you doing? This is a public place."

After calling him a coward, Qin Chuan put the sword back and said, "Nothing, just a joke, don't take it seriously."

He wouldn't see blood on a wedding day, he was just trying to scare people.

After Qin Chuan put away his sword, a staff member came over and said, "Hu Ge, Qin Chuan, Wan Tingyou, get ready."

"okay!"

Qin Chuan walked out first, followed by Hu Ge and someone else behind him.

After turning a corner, the three of them arrived outside the audition room.

The people inside haven't come out yet, so they can only wait for a while.

Qin Chuan folded his hands in front of his chest and leaned his back against the wall. He seemed to be nonchalant, but he was actually trying to feel like Li Xiaoyao.

But just a few random movements made Hu Ge's scalp tingle and he thought something was wrong.

The audition hasn't even started yet, but Qin Chuan's every move is very similar to Li Xiaoyao. What will happen when he enters the room later?

After a few minutes, the people inside came out and the people outside went in.

Qin Chuan thought that there were only Cai Yinong and Li Guoli inside, but who knew there were several other leaders.

There are also cameras on the side to record at any time, making it convenient to watch the audition replay later.

Cai Yinong said: "Although we are all family, let's just briefly introduce ourselves."

There were so many people auditioning that even she had to watch the playback several times afterwards before she could choose the best candidate.

Actors report their names to facilitate information lookup.

"Hello, leaders. I am Qin Chuan from the Beiping branch. I am 20 years old."

"Hello, leaders. I am Hu Ge from Shanghai Modu Company. I am a junior in the acting department of Shanghai Theatre Academy."

"Hello, leaders. My name is Wan Tingyou. I'm from the Tianjin branch. I've been in the industry for five years. I've played the leading role once and the supporting role four times. I love acting. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to audition today."

Although the three of them seemed to be just reporting their names, they actually each had their own ideas. Qin Chuan emphasized his age, as he was the youngest among those present.

In the Legend of Sword and Fairy game, Li Xiaoyao was 19 years old when he first appeared, not much different from him.

Hu Ge emphasized his major, saying that he graduated from the Performance Department of the Shanghai Theatre Academy, a prestigious university.

Wan Tingyou emphasized his acting experience, as if to say that his acting skills are solid.

"Don't be nervous, just treat it as a simple audition. Come on, each of you turn around and take a look at your image."

What the three didn't know was that their scoring started from the moment they entered the door.

The company has information on several people, no matter how big or small.

There is no doubt that Qin Chuan had the highest starting point. He was a Peking Opera martial artist who could ride a horse and use a sword. I heard that he had also learned some boxing skills.

He has not acted in many dramas, but they are all big productions, such as Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, A Chinese Ghost Story, and Kung Fu.

His martial arts scenes are good, and his literary scenes are not bad either. He performed very well in the recently aired A Chinese Ghost Story, and attracted millions of fans.

Apart from being an actor, he is also a singer. After singing two original folk songs, he can be considered a professional singer.

So in Cai Yinong's little notebook, Qin Chuan had already scored 75 points before he even entered the door.

After entering the door, the ancient costume and appearance added another ten points.

You know, among those who auditioned before, not many could get 75 points, and even fewer could get 80 points.

He was already way ahead.

"Show us what talents you have." After looking at the appearance, Li Guoli pushed his glasses and said.

Qin Chuan was the first to step forward: "Leader, I brought a set of swordsmanship."

When he unlocked the martial arts role, his major was sword, and he used sword techniques quite a lot during the filming of A Chinese Ghost Story.

It is considered the most familiar Kung Fu besides Iron Wire Fist.

Immediately, Qin Chuan performed a set of elegant Qingcheng swordsmanship, which, combined with his agile body movements, was both chic and light, and very beautiful.

"next."

Hu Ge doesn't know kung fu, he only performs literary drama, and the same is true for Wan Tingyou.

After they finished their performance, Li Guoli gave the three of them the same lines and asked them to perform them ten minutes later.

Qin Chuan took it and saw that Li Xiaoyao traveled back to ten years ago, saved Zhao Linger and Drunken Swordsman, and told them not to go to Yuhang Town in the future and not to teach kung fu to a man named Li Xiaoyao.

Qin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief. Hu Ge and Wan Tingyou sighed.

Without Li Xiaoyao's script, they got very little information, most of which came from games.

Regarding Li Xiaoyao, the most research done is the research on his character, which is lively, cheerful, enthusiastic and righteous.

Going back ten years, it was almost the end.

Li Xiaoyao at that time had a completely different personality from before.

Who could have thought that Li Guoli would do this.

Only Qin Chuan had already experienced Li Xiaoyao's entire life. There was no difference between the early and late stages for him.

Soon, the three of them began to perform, with Li Guoli playing the role of the Drunken Swordsman and Cai Yinong playing the role of Zhao Linger.

After more than ten minutes, the performance of the three people ended.

Just when they thought the audition was over and they could leave, Cai Yinong suddenly asked a question.

"What do you think of The Legend of Sword and Fairy?"

Qin Chuan was the first to take the lead: "Leader, to be honest, I have loved playing games since I was a child, especially during adolescence. The Legend of Sword and Fairy has always been my favorite."

Speaking of this, Qin Chuan smiled bitterly: "I skipped classes every day to play the game of Fairy Sword in the Internet cafe, stayed up late to complete dungeons and tasks, which caused my academic performance to plummet. In the end, I didn't even get into university."

"I have become a negative example for other people's children."

"Some time ago, Sister Jin told me that our company was going to shoot this drama. I was so excited that I said I must play Li Xiaoyao, not for anything else, because this is my dream."

Qin Chuan's words left everyone stunned.

Cai Yinong and Li Guoli were both a little moved.

Only Hu Ge opened his eyes wide and said "Fuck it" in his heart.

Because he was also prepared to say this.

"Hu Ge, what about you?" Li Guoli asked.

"Haha, I'm also a fan of The Legend of Sword and Fairy. I've liked it since my freshman year. I'm an old player and I still play it frequently. I know every character and every dungeon in the game by heart."

On the stage, someone from Cai Yinong's side said quietly, "You have a lot of free time. You're already in college and you still play games every day."

Damn it, Hu Ge almost vomited blood.

What's wrong with playing games? Every college student plays games.

Qin Chuan played games so much that he didn't even make it to college. Why don't you blame him but blame me instead?

"Boss, I play in my spare time after finishing my homework."

"Oh."

Hu Ge: "..."

Oh, what does that mean?

A bystander sees more clearly. In fact, Hu Ge was the only one who didn't understand why the leader acted like this.

Qin Chuan missed his studies because of playing games, that is a thing of the past and cannot be changed. All we can say is that this kid really likes The Legend of Sword and Fairy.

But now he can stand in the same room and audition on the same stage with those who went to drama schools, and his achievements are no worse than theirs, which shows that he works very hard.

On the contrary, Hu Ge relaxed himself when he entered university, playing games every day and knowing all the copies by heart. It must have taken a lot of hard work.

Leaders like them would be more pleased if they could spend this time thinking about the performance.

"Go out first. I'll notify you when there's news about the next batch."

……

In the evening, at Tangren headquarters, all the company management were in a meeting.

In the conference room, the projector kept playing the audition videos of everyone today.

After a few times, eighty percent of the people had been eliminated.

Some are too old, some are not suitable for ancient costumes, there are all kinds of problems.

Finally, there are only two or three people who are worth discussing.

Among them are Qin Chuan and Hu Ge.

The voting session has begun.

"Mr. Cai, I think Hu Ge is more suitable for Li Xiaoyao. He has a lively and active personality, which is very similar to Li Xiaoyao."

"Of course, the personality displayed by Qin Chuan is very consistent with Li Xiaoyao, but he is acting, while Hu Ge is his true nature. The two are different."

Someone said: "I don't agree with this statement. When has good acting become a sin? Actors compete with each other in acting skills. Qin Chuan is better in all aspects. I vote for him."

The production department said, "I vote for Qin Chuan as well. His fame, kung fu, and appearance are all better than the others. I vote for him for this role. I believe he can lead Sugarman on a new path, allowing the company to successfully transform and move to a higher level."

"Haha." A middle-aged Mediterranean man sneered, "It's just a character. Why do you have to exaggerate? Why don't you say he can lead us to the moon?"

Cai Yinong, who smelled the gunpowder and was about to start a quarrel, gently poked the table with the tip of his pen: "Everyone, be quiet."

"Director Li, do you think so?"

Li Guoli is the director, so we should ask for his opinion on this matter.

After thinking for a few seconds, Li Guoli said, "Qin Chuan and Hu Ge are both good, each with their own strengths. Anyone can do what I want to say."

This is the truth.

Qin Chuan's acting skills are better, and his conditions in all aspects are also good and outstanding.

Hu Ge is not bad either. He studied acting at the Shanghai Theatre Academy. His acting skills are on point and his personality fits Li Xiaoyao very well.

He has the confidence to train either of these two people, no matter who is handed over to him.

Li Guoli's honesty immediately passed the buck to Cai Yinong, which made her a little conflicted. It would be a pity for anyone to be eliminated.

After all, Hu Ge had just finished playing the leading male role in Dandelion. If the company didn’t value him, they wouldn’t let him play the leading male role.

It would be a pity to give up Qin Chuan. His conditions in all aspects are so good, what he lacks is the opportunity. If he misses this time, he doesn’t know when the next time will come.

"Mr. Cai, I have a few words to say." Sister Wang, Deputy General Manager Wang, who had dined with Qin Chuan Jinlian before, spoke.

Cai Yinong nodded: "You go ahead."

Sister Wang said, "I am an amateur in acting, so I didn't say anything just now, but Director Li and all the professionals said that both of them are excellent, so I won't make a fool of myself."

"I will say a few words from the perspective of corporate management and business."

After a pause, Sister Wang said, "There are only two transformation dramas for our company, Dandelion and The Legend of Sword and Fairy."

"Don't put all your eggs in one basket. The risk factor is too high. Hu Ge played Dandelion, so he shouldn't be given the Fairy Sword."

"Old people in the countryside often say that if the chickens in this cage don't crow, then the chickens in that cage will crow, so they like to have more sons."

"I suggest giving the Fairy Sword to Qin Chuan, so that he and Hu Ge can each have a play. If either of them succeeds, our company will be considered a successful transformation."

boom!
Sister Wang’s words instantly silenced those who were arguing fiercely.

They have been comparing Qin Chuan and Hu Ge, comparing their acting skills, appearance, personality, and fit for the roles.

But I didn't expect to consider the overall situation of the company.

Even Cai Yinong and Li Guoli felt that what Sister Wang said made a lot of sense.

The balance that had just been swaying immediately tilted towards Qin Chuan.

"Ahem, does anyone have any different opinions?" Cai Yinong looked around and asked, "Since no one has any, then Qin Chuan will play the leading male role in The Legend of Sword and Fairy."

The meeting ended and the company leaders dispersed.

In the underground parking lot, as soon as Sister Wang got into the car, she called Jinlian immediately: "Alian, good news, the male lead is your Qinchuan."

"You are amazing. I explained it as you said, and Mr. Cai immediately decided on Qin Chuan."

In the hotel, Jinlian had just finished a bath and was wrapped in a bath towel. She smiled faintly and said, "Thank you. I'll treat you to a big meal later."

After hanging up the phone, Jinlian was in a very good mood as she looked at the bright neon lights downstairs and the hustle and bustle of traffic at her feet.

So I opened a bottle of red wine that I had prepared in advance, poured a glass and sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window to slowly taste it.
