"Three Kingdoms" cannot arrange for all the starring actors to be selected from the auditions because there is no American time and manpower at all.

Most of the actors are selected by Mr. Sun Shicheng through his own connections from teachers and students from Beijing Film Academy, Central Academy of Drama, Shanghai Opera and other places, as well as veteran actors from the People's Art Theater and Guodian troupes.

Only a very small number of roles who do not have suitable candidates will consider auditions.

The other three film and television companies also sent many people to join the crew, and were responsible for the early casting, equipment, props, costumes, makeup and other work.

Although Zhou Yi has the title of producer, he does not need to worry about everything in detail, and is not so busy that he is too busy to do it.

Only in auditions for important actors will he give his own advice.

As time goes by, actors of a series of roles such as Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Sun Ce, Lu Su, Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, Zhang Liao, Emperor Xian of Han, etc. have been finalized, but the most suitable Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were never selected. The auditioners of Zhuge Liang were all unsatisfactory. In terms of image and temperament, and from the perspective of the role, they were still quite far from Zhou Yi’s requirements.

Yixing Entertainment has received more than 5,000 submitted actor files from the email address of the public. The casting director led by Liu Lanting only slept for six hours a day, and was basically watching videos at other times, and conducted the first step of auditions to select actors whose image and temperament are very close to the role and whose acting skills are not bad.

On April 25, the preliminary auditions were over, and only more than 100 actor files were left in front of Zhou Yi and Sun Shicheng.

"Is there anyone who is more outstanding in Guan Yu and Zhao Yun?" Zhou Yi asked.

"There is a man named Lu Ming who is born to play Guan Yu. When he wears the costumes and narrows his eyes, he looks 70% or 80% similar!" Liu Lanting said with a smile: "Although he was just a supporting actor before, his acting skills are OK and not too rough."

"Oh? Let me and Director Sun watch the casting video!" Zhou Yi was intrigued.

Although the auditions were very hurrying and simple, everyone's performances during the audition were recorded as a reference.

When Zhou Yi saw Lu Ming who had put on a costume in the video, his eyes lit up. He was like Guan Yu who came out of the screen, which was really very similar.

Whether it is height, body shape, phoenix eyes, or a red face.

"Why is his face so red? What did he paint?" Zhou Yi pointed at Lu Ming in the video and asked.

"I asked, and he said he drank two taels of white wine before coming, and that's it!"

"Haha, old man, what about this Guan Yu?" Zhou Yi turned around and asked Sun Shicheng's opinion.

"Notify him to come to the imperial capital, let's try it on site again!" The old man picked up the teacup and took a sip: "It's interesting."

"What about Zhao Yun? Are there any surprises?" Zhou Yi asked Liu Lanting again.

This time, Liu Lanting took out five actor files and related audition videos.

Zhou Yi didn't care much at first, but when he saw the third person, a surprise light flashed in his eyes.

"Who is this person?"

"Oh, his name is Hu Ge, born in 1982. He is an artist named Yunqing Entertainment. He is from a martial arts industry and has recently starred in two youth idol dramas. The response is pretty good." Liu Lanting quickly introduced.

It's indeed Hu Ge!

I didn't expect that he is doing so miserably now, far inferior to him in a parallel world.

Hu Ge is the male star Zhou Yi admires the most in his previous life. None of them are all very outstanding in image, temperament, acting and professionalism.

"Zhao Yun acted for him!" Zhou Yi made the decision directly.

At this point, the audition for "Three Kingdoms" has entered the final stage, and most of the candidates for the role have been finalized.

There are only more than 30 people who can really emerge from the auditions. The luckiest of them are naturally Lu Ming and Hu Ge. They will play Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, and they can be regarded as starring in "The Three Kingdoms".

On April 26, Cannes Film Festival Chairman Fumao announced to the public that the second and last batch of films were shortlisted for the main competition unit of the 71st Cannes Film Festival, and "Sword Dance in the City" was undoubtedly among them.

So far, of the record 2,056 contributed movies, 50 can go to Cannes to participate, of which 18 were shortlisted for the main competition unit, competing for the Best Picture Palme d'Or.

Unlike last year's two films, "Hope" and "Carnival", which were shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Venice Film Festival, this time, there was only one film in China, which was "Sword Dance in the City".

Chinese films have not been shortlisted for the Palme d'Or for two years. This time, it finally broke the embarrassment. When the news came back to China, it caused a huge sensation in an instant.

Because after "Hope", director Sun Qingtong and Zhou Yi were again starring. The two of them combined to compete with each other and fought again in Cannes.

At last year's Venice Film Festival, both of them were pure newcomers, but they won two awards: Best debut and Best Actor. So this time, "Sword Dance" has a large production with an investment of 500 million yuan (external publicity). What kind of achievements can be made?

Chinese filmmakers have long surrendered to the increasingly rising and violent film market. With the rapid growth of Chinese film box office records, the influence of Chinese literary and artistic films around the world is also declining rapidly.

The film masters who once had a glorious reputation at the three major film festivals have now passed the peak of their creations and have begun to embrace business, without the aura and talent they once had.

So much so that at present, everyone can only place the hope and future of literary and artistic films on the young men Sun Qingtong and Zhou Yi, who have just graduated for one year.

Major media have focused on reporting this news, and many media have begun to book air tickets to Cannes. This year's Cannes Film Festival, they will definitely not be absent. They will send back all the reports that the audience most hopes for will be sent back to witness the award of "Sword Dance in the City".

On QQ reading and the serialization of "Sword Dance of Swords" has gradually come to an end. Although Zhou Yichun's Spring Festival Gala had a colorful dress dance, the subscription of this book has also ushered in a new high. Now, the subscriptions of "Sword Dance of Swords" on both platforms have been approaching the million mark.

This is an achievement that has made all online writers admire him. Zhou Yi is simply an invincible devil. His subscription is an order of magnitude higher than everyone else.

Now, "Sword Dance of Swords" has become an explosive IP. Everyone is full of admiration and love for the protagonists Gongsun Yao and Zhou Qi. If "Sword Dance of Swords" is really released, many people will enter the cinema to support it without hesitation.

Because they had long been conquered by Zhou Yi's exquisite writing style and magical plot, what a happy thing would be if Gongsun Yao could not live in the words, but truly appear in front of everyone!

Hengdian Film and Television City.

An important reminder came from Lu Ming's mobile phone, and there was a new email.

Usually few people send emails to Lu Ming. He suddenly thought of a possibility, so while his heart was beating violently, he pressed the connection with his trembling fingers, and the interface jumped to the email address.

"I'm glad that Mr. Lu Ming, you passed the second round of auditions. Please come to the imperial capital as soon as possible for the last audition of "Guan Yu". We will reimburse you for your travel and accommodation expenses.

"Three Kingdoms" crew"

"Wow, I succeeded!" Lu Ming suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Liang Xingbo asked hurriedly.

"I passed the audition, and the crew of "Three Kingdoms" invited me to the imperial capital for the last round of audition!" Lu Ming clenched his fists, his eyes full of excitement: "The character Guan Yu and I are only one step away!"

"Congratulations! You are so awesome in mainland China!" Liang Xingbo was also very happy: "Don't forget each other if you are rich and noble!"

"Damn, you have passed two rounds of auditions in mainland China! It's so amazing. From the extras to the starring actors, you are afraid that you will not be the next Wang Baoqiang!" Another buddy also said excitedly.

Almost all extras regard Wang Baoqiang as their idol and goal of struggle, because so far, only Wang Baoqiang has been working from the grassroots of extras to become a well-known movie star.

And Lu Ming seems to be about to jump into the dragon gate soon and turn into a dragon.

"I wonder if Wen Ya has received a reply!" Liang Xingbo suddenly remembered: "If she succeeds, you two will be the uncles and sister-in-law in the play!"

"Let me ask Wen Ya!" Lu Ming called Wen Ya.

"Why did you think of it today and call me?" Wen Ya's mood sounded very good, and she seemed to have a feeling of excitement.

"The crew of "Three Kingdoms" replied to me and invited me to the imperial capital for the final audition." Lu Ming tried his best to calm down his mood: "Where are you?"

"You received it too?" Wen Ya seemed a little surprised, and then said happily: "Come on, Lu Ming, you must take down the role of Guan Yu!"

Lu Ming heard what Wen Ya said, and he was also very excited: "Your consciousness is, your character..."

"Yes, I've been invited to play Mrs. Gan." Wen Ya smiled: "It seems that there is one less audition round than you!"

"That's great, it's great!" Lu Ming didn't know what to say.

Anyway, I was very excited, with joy and joy from the bottom of my heart.

"Be prepared, in the last round of auditions, you must defeat all competitors!" Wen Ya encouraged.

"Well, I will!" Lu Ming nodded seriously.

Wu Sheng Guan Yu, I have decided to take this role!

Lu Ming packed his luggage as fast as possible, booked the air ticket, and left Hehengdian on the same day, embarking on a journey to the imperial capital.

In fact, those who need the last round of auditions are the most important starring actors, and Hu Ge of Yunqing Entertainment also received the news of his audition in the imperial capital.

"Hey, except for you, Yunqing Entertainment, all the troops were wiped out, no reply was received!" Liao Yunqing sighed: "Come on, Hu Ge!"

"I know, Sister Qing!" Hu Ge picked up the suit and put it on his shoulders, walked out of the office casually: "Wait for me to return with honor!"

At the same time, under the view of Yixing Entertainment, Zhou Yi, Sun Shicheng, Sun Qingtong and Song Dachuan, Jiang Yingyue and Lou Xiaoxiao tried Zhou Yu and Xiaoqiao's play together.

Jiang Yingyue put on a white dress, her long hair was tied up and wrapped around her chest. She was really handsome and handsome.

Jiang Yingyue's figure is actually the closest to the airport, probably between a and b, so if you have a little restraint, you can basically not see any flaws.

Lou Xiaoxiao also changed into a classical long skirt, with affectionate eyebrows and gentleness. She really looked like a perfect lady, and she was so beautiful.

The two of them had a tacit understanding. After a period of preparation and rehearsal, both Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao were extremely outstanding in their creations, and they were really a perfect match.

"How is it?" After the audition, Zhou Yi asked everyone with a smile: "How is Zhou Yu, a big man in men's clothing?"

"Young people are really amazing now!" Sun Shicheng nodded with a smile: "Xiao Jiang not only has a very close image and temperament, but also perfectly performed the spirit and arrogance in his eyebrows. There is no flaw in the subtleties of the pace and expression. Xiao Jiang will play Zhou Yu, I think it's OK!"

Sun Qingtong and Song Dachuan couldn't find any fault. Jiang Yingyue's acting skills were really far beyond her age. Although she was not as good as Zhou Yi, she was excellent enough.

"Then in this way, Zhou Yi, you can play Zhuge Liang without any worries!" Mr. Sun Shicheng looked at Zhou Yi: "Our starring lineup has basically been finalized, and we can start the next step!"

"Zhuge Cheng is a very challenging character compared to me. This time I will do my best to shape him and strive to satisfy everyone!" Zhou Yi did not refuse, but took over the role of Zhuge Liang.

After three days of separation, you should look at each other with admiration.

He is no longer the Amon of Wuxia a year ago.

ps: In the end, it's only a little bit short, and I'll make it first and then change it.
