Although Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon hadn't started filming yet, the publicity had already been done. This was the biggest investment in the history of Chinese movies. Although it was a co-production between China and the United States, so what? There was still a "middle" in it?
The four more important characters were the male lead, Li Mubai, the female lead, Yu Lian, the second male lead, Luo Xiaohu, and the second female lead, Yu Jiaolong. In other words, there were five of them plus Blue-eyed Fox.
However, Qi Ming knew that because Yu Jiaolong had the most scenes and scenes out of all of them, coupled with the tension of her performance, she was considered to be the female lead. However, this had nothing to do with Qi Ming, because that was a matter between women.
Even though the scale of this movie was huge, the actual casting was actually very simple. It was just the role that Qi Ming was auditioning for.
Since they were going to take the international route, the male lead would definitely have an international influence. Now, the only one that could be brought out in the country was Double Zhouyi Cheng. Among them, because the image of Xingye and Brother Long was not suitable, only Zhou Runfa was left.
Because Yu Lian had more martial arts scenes, she had already decided that she had to be a female fighting star. There were not many people in the country who could choose this.
Yu Jiaolong was recommended by State Preceptor Zhang, so there was no need to consider this. The remaining ones were Luo Xiaohu and Blue-eyed Fox, and the most important one was Luo Xiaohu.
There were indeed quite a number of people who came for the audition today. However, the image and acting tests had basically wiped out all of them. In the end, only Qi Ming, Zhang Zhen, and Wan Lihong were left.
Qi Ming's current advantage was that his acting skills completely crushed the other two.
"This young man named Qi Ming's acting is really good!”Director Li An looked at the materials in his hand and said," At his age, I've never seen anyone better than him overseas, let alone in China!”
"I feel pretty good too. In the previous test, I was only watching his body movements, but I was actually scared. I haven't had this feeling for a long time!”The person in charge from Colombia nodded.
"But he's not famous! Besides, this character isn't the main character. I think the other two's acting skills are still okay!”Of course, these interviewers were not united. Naturally, some people objected.
"Yeah, and this Qi Ming might be a little young, so he doesn't fit Luo Xiaohu's image.”
"Fame? The three of them are not famous in the international market!" Li An complained in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud. It wasn't to the point where he had to have Qi Ming, so there was no need for him to quarrel with the producer.
"We're not in a hurry for now. There are still two auditions later. Let's take a look at their literary and martial scenes first before discussing!"In such a team, there was always someone who could smooth things over.
"That's right, this Qi Ming says on his resume that he knows martial arts. Let's take a look later!”Li An didn't want to have these meaningless arguments anymore. It would ruin her mood for no reason.
The audition for a martial arts drama was actually very simple. It was usually the least interesting. Basically, as long as the actor's body was normal, he would pass. This was because being an actor's body was also a very important course.
The audition this time was to show the flexibility of the body and then perform according to the martial arts director's movements. The director also had to observe whether the actor's martial arts movements were similar to the image in his heart. If there was too much of a difference, it would not do.
"Qi Ming, on your resume, you wrote that you know martial arts, right?”
Director Li An asked Qi Ming, who was the last one in line.
"Yes!" Qi Ming was very confident in this answer. He looked into Li An's eyes and nodded.
"Oh!" The director was very surprised by Qi Ming's confidence. Where did Qi Ming get such confidence at his age? Of course, the director wasn't the only one who was surprised.
"Then perform a part!"
"Good!" Qi Ming cupped his hands towards the crowd.
"Eh?" Everyone noticed that Qi Ming's temperament had changed after he put down his hand. The martial arts director was the most surprised. After all, he knew what he was doing. When he saw Qi Ming's change, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind, but he immediately suppressed it.
"How is this possible? How can he be a grandmaster?”
However, as Qi Ming started to think about this, he was certain of it. Then, he was shocked. For those who knew the industry, as long as they made a subtle movement, they could make an accurate judgment.
Just like Director Li An, he could basically determine the level of an actor just by looking at their expression or action.
What Qi Ming was displaying was the Qi Family Fist Technique that he had already reached the advanced level. The Qi Family Fist Technique was a fist technique that was compiled by the famous general of the Ming Dynasty, Qi Jiguang, who combined the essence of various martial arts techniques with the battlefield.
What Qi Ming had learned was the purest of all. It was a fist technique that was purely used to kill enemies on the battlefield. This was the obvious characteristic of the Qi Family Fist. It was simple and unadorned, strong in actual combat, hard and soft, brave and fierce, wrapped and squeezed. If it was not a kick, it would hit. If it was not a fall, it would take.
Flashing and leaping, majestic, clear rhythm, unstoppable when moving, unfathomable when still, endless changes.
"Good!" This was Li An's shout. Among the Crouching Tigers and Hidden Dragons, Luo Xiaohu was a bandit. His martial arts were also martial arts that killed people. This was really similar to Qi Ming's fist arts.
"En, very good!" Even the person who had previously criticized Qi Ming's image had no choice but to clap his hands and praise him. When Qi Ming was performing martial arts, his image was completely different. He was now a 'tough bandit.'
However, when combined with Qi Ming's image, this " tough bandit " revealed some modesty. This was really like Luo Xiaohu. Luo Xiaohu was a bandit, but at the same time, he adhered to the principle of being a bandit. When he interacted with Yu Jiaolong, he was like a child.
While everyone was gasping in amazement, Qi Ming demonstrated the Qi Family Style's moves.
" Director, what do you think?" Qi Ming asked. He was like a child, just like the childish Luo Xiaohu in the script when he told Yu Jiaolong that he liked stars.
This could be said to be a deliberate act by Qi Ming, because he had watched this movie in his previous life, so he had a better understanding of Luo Xiaohu's character. However, the director didn't know that Qi Ming's action was no different from adding a precious point to himself!
"It's too similar!"
"You're the one. Today's audition is over. You're my Luo Xiaohu! If I let you go, where am I going to find this Luo Xiaohu!" The director clapped his hands together and made the decision, ignoring everyone's shocked gazes.
This person was too outstanding. It was worth it to fall out with one of the producers for him!
He, Li An, was not someone to be trifled with. No matter what, he was an internationally renowned director. Now, he felt that the benefits were enough for this Luo Xiaohu.# Date:07 10 2019 7:01PM
