Huayu Chunqiu, starting from being adopted by a fairy mother

Chapter 120 Looking for Jing Tian
Xixi guessed correctly. The next morning, seven or eight people brought breakfast.

Neither of them was able to eat. Sister Li scolded the two actors with a stern face, and no one dared to offer warmth anymore.

Liu Jing saw Sister Li being so aggressive for the first time, and he felt relieved instantly. With such a mother protecting her daughter, who would dare to feel uncomfortable? They are all people who want to be respected, and they will not make themselves look bad in public.

Before joining the crew, he asked his class teacher for a week's leave and returned to school on October 10 to report for leave.

As a result, he had to leave just after the National Day holiday.

It’s not that anyone drove him away. Lao Cai had to go to the Shanghai Theatre Academy for casting first, and at the same time postponed the casting for the Beijing Dance Academy to October 10th.

她是这样安排的，10月9号去上戏，10月14号去中戏，10月15号去北电，10月16号去北舞。

After Liu Jing heard about this, he couldn't sit still. Fortunately, Yongkang was not far from Shanghai, so he took a train to Shanghai overnight.

Old Cai was very puzzled. It was just a role selection, why was this person so enthusiastic? Was it not to see the beauties?

Liu Jing was also puzzled. Just to choose a Princess Xiangxiang, was it necessary to go through several major art schools to cast her one by one?

The next morning, when they arrived at the Shanghai Theatre Academy, they both had their own answers.

Casting is the main thing, while people selection is secondary.

Casting is in name only, finding people is in reality.

"Sister Cai, you are signing artists for your Sugar Man team under the name of selecting Princess Xiangxiang." Liu Jing looked at it for a long time and finally understood it.

He thought that the school casting was held in a classroom. He didn't mind playing the role of a judge, sitting in the bright and clean classroom, watching the students enter one by one.

Self-introduction, talent show, questions from judges...

None of these were true. The reality was that he followed Lao Cai, moving from one rehearsal room to another, with two teachers from the Shanghai Theatre Academy following him.

If Mr. Cai takes a fancy to a student, he will call him over to communicate.

Liu Jing noticed a problem. Lao Cai called almost all boys, with only a few girls.

This took the whole morning. He had a lot of questions, but he couldn't ask Lao Cai in front of his teacher from the Shanghai Theatre Academy.

After inviting the teacher to lunch at noon and everyone took a rest, he finally found an opportunity to ask.

"The main purpose is to select Princess Xiangxiang. During the selection process, if we see someone we like, we will sign him to Tangren. I have worked with Su Youpeng, Li Yapeng, and Lin Zhiying before, and I found that the artists signed by my own company are the best to use. Tangren is different from you Jingxing. We lack money, people, scripts, resources, and everything." The two were resting in a cafe, and Lao Cai explained to Liu Jing.

"Jingxing is just like you sugar men, he also lacks everything." Liu Jing sighed. He has found many problems in the novel "Huan Xisha".

When he was filming in the past, he just had to do his best.

Now that I’m the head of my own household, I realize how difficult it is.

"But Jingxing is not short of money or books. As long as these two things are available, people can be found quickly." Lao Cai retorted.

"Everyone is short of money, but we don't own a bank." Liu Jing laughed at himself. There was no money in Jingxing's account. The whole thing depended on Zhang Min for financial support as a creditor.

Old Cai doesn't think so. "Jingxing Company may be short of money, but the two shareholders are not. Each of the beauty salons opened by Zhang Min has a profit of several million a year. Her beauty salon is simply a training base for makeup artists. Zhou Wenqiong's publishing company holds a lot of copyrights, which are all script materials. The two of them, one has money and the other has a script, their situation is much better than our Tangren."

"Individuals are individuals and companies are companies. These are two different things." Liu Jing didn't want to talk so much.

"Tangren can't be compared with Jingxing. Our Tangren's shareholders are also poor guys, one poorer than the other. I can't compare with Sister Min, she has a net worth of over 100 million..." Old Cai said sourly.

"You and Director Li Guoli are the only two shareholders of Sugar Man. You must be the poorest one." Liu Jing spoke very directly. Old Cai's face turned black. Couldn't he be more tactful? Even a poor guy has to have dignity.

Liu Jing pressed on, "Besides, how can you compare yourself to Zhang Min? When Zhang Min was working with Andy Lau, you were still trying to find a way to interview Andy Lau. What's wrong with Zhang Min being worth hundreds of millions? She didn't steal or rob. Every penny was clean. She's been in the industry for so many years and has made dozens of movies. How many people can compare to her? Her beauty salon is booming. Do you know how much effort she put in?"

"Let's talk about Princess Xiangxiang." Old Cai's face was dark. I just said something about Zhang Min, and you've said so many things in return.

"Don't mention Princess Xiangxiang. I'm tired of walking around for most of the day. You are like a headless fly. You have to have a direction when choosing the right person, right? We have to make our choice based on chance and feeling." Liu Jing was disgusted and felt that Lao Cai had no method at all.

"Then tell me, what kind of Princess Xiangxiang should I choose?" Old Cai looked disdainful. I didn't ask you to come, but you insisted on following me. Besides, you, a little kid, don't know shit about my casting method.

"Her eyes are moving and captivating, and her movements reveal endless charm. She is dressed in white like snow, with long hair hanging down her shoulders. She is bright and holy, and her manners are beyond compare. Her figure is as if carved, with a slender waist and a jade belt. When she dances, she is like a fairy from heaven..." Liu Jing recited the passage in the book that described Princess Xiangxiang, Kasli.

The more he recited, the weirder it felt. A figure seemed to appear before his eyes, dancing gracefully. The face gradually became clear, and it was Sissi's face.

Liu Jing shook his head and dispersed the figure. Xixi didn't like dancing, she only liked practicing martial arts. She was fierce and not gentle at all. How could it be her?

"You actually memorized it?" Old Cai was surprised and did not dare to underestimate the young man in front of him.

What Liu Jing recited was not just a few sentences, but a long paragraph of several hundred words.

He didn't want to show off his photographic memory, and said calmly, "Kasi Li can be called the most beautiful woman in Jin Yong's martial arts novels. We are currently filming this drama, so of course I have to pay more attention to her. You are right to spend more time on casting her. If this role is chosen well, the drama will be half successful."

"Yes! She made Chen Jialuo fall in love with her, and frightened the enemy into withdrawing their troops. How many soldiers risked their lives just to see her one more time." Old Cai sighed. A good choice is half the success, but a bad choice will ruin half the show.

A few months ago, she discussed cooperation with Zhou Wenqiong. Her aunt said that there was a suitable candidate. She couldn't say the compatibility was 100%, but it had to be at least 80%.

Lao Cai was still looking forward to it, but she didn't know there was no follow-up and the role was returned to her. She actually didn't really want the role of Princess Xiangxiang, and she really wanted to see who could match the role to an 80% degree.

"What are you going to choose?" Liu Jing asked directly.

"This is how I understand it. Temperament comes first, and appearance comes second. If you can't find the right one, find a beauty from the Western Regions. Princess Xiangxiang is from the Western Regions, so if you want to find a beauty with exotic features, people will be more likely to accept her." Old Cai realized that Liu Jing was different, and he no longer hid it and truly put him on an equal footing.

"Do you have any goals? Or any plans? The Western Regions is very big, much bigger than Shanghai Theatre Academy." Liu Jing asked.

"You know that the first beauty pageant was held in the Western Region in June?" Old Cai took out the information from his bag and handed it to Liu Jing.

"do not know."

Old Cai smiled, then she remembered that the other party was still a teenager. She asked a few male colleagues in the film and television industry, and they all knew.

"I contacted the organizer and sent invitations to some contestants. On October 10, they will come to Yandu for auditions, and these are their information," Lao Cai explained.

"Then why did you come to the theatre?" Liu Jing was puzzled. This was just like taking off pants to fart, what was the point of that?

"The Western Region Beauty Pageant is just a local beauty pageant. Schools like Shanghai Theatre Academy, Central Academy of Drama, Beijing Film Academy, and Military Art Academy gather beauties from all over the country. If we use two approaches at the same time, one of them will always work." Old Cai said with a smile.

"In that case, let's meet in Yandu." Liu Jing understood.

"Have you finished your work at the Shanghai Theatre Academy?" asked Lao Cai.

"That's it."

"Are you looking for someone? Do you need my help? I know a few teachers from the Shanghai Theatre Academy, and I'm also familiar with their school leaders." Lao Cai was very enthusiastic.

"No need." Liu Jing shook his head. Finding talents was his purpose.

Just as Lao Cai said, several major universities gather beautiful girls from all over the country, and most of them will enter the entertainment industry in the future.

If you have Fei, choose Fei; if you don’t have Fei, choose Yuan. If you don’t have Fei or Yuan, choose Jingtian.

That’s right, Liu Jing’s main purpose of following Lao Cai in casting so enthusiastically was to find Jing Tian.

Why is he so active? First, the system directly said the name, and second, the person's surname is Jing.

It is not easy to find with only one name. Although there are not many people with this name in the country, searching for them one by one is also a huge project.

What’s more, what if Jingtian is just someone’s stage name?

Fei, he has confirmed that it is Sissi.

Yuan, he was also sure it was Gao Yuanyuan.

But Liu Yifei and Gao Yuanyuan are not their real names, so who can guarantee whether Jing Tian is their real name?

Liu Jing examined the name Jing Tian several times and could only conclude that he would be a big star in the future.

So without any knowledge of place of origin, age or appearance, he started with several major universities.

He walked around the Shanghai Theatre Academy and checked the student list, but did not find the name Jing Tian.

Lao Cai has been to several colleges and universities, so he doesn't need to look for them specifically for fear of attracting other people's attention.

I can check it with the help of Lao Cai.

"I'm going to Yandu on the 12th. Why don't you come back to Tangren with me and we'll go back to Yandu together. My dream is to become a screenwriter. I have read your opinions carefully and they are very good. Let's discuss the script with the screenwriter. What do you think?" Lao Cai made an invitation.

"This..." Liu Jing scratched his head. He wanted to go back to school to continue his vacation.

"Don't worry, we'll serve you delicious food and drinks every day, and you won't have to pay for the air ticket." Lao Cai said with a smile.

"Okay. When will you come back to Hengdian?" What else could Liu Jing say? He really had a lot of opinions about the script.

"Wait for two people."

"Who?"

"They're coming."

Liu Jing followed Lao Cai's gaze and saw a man and a woman, one in front and one behind, walking into the cafe.

The woman was Sun Li, she was dressed in casual clothes, with her hands in her pockets, walking coolly.

The man still had a student-like air, looking around and seemed very curious about the guests in the cafe.

Today's free appraisal has not been used yet, so Liu Jing gave it to the man.

"Hu Ge, that's a good name."
