The next day, Lin Zheng put on a new set of clothes and carried a makeup box on his back. He was ready to rush to the audition location that the production team of " Zombie " had agreed on.
Lin Zheng didn't take the invitation from the program team of " A Hundred Faces Show " to heart.
Right now, his priority was to get the role in Zombie.
Although the remake of Mr. Zombie had already been confirmed, it would still take 1-2 months for the official shooting. There was still a lot of work to be done in the early stages.
The living environment of the Hong Family's class was actually very ordinary. Many members of the class had their own residences. After the meeting yesterday, they left separately. Only a few of the Hong Family's management staff and the retired martial master stayed in the class.
However, Lin Zheng liked the atmosphere of the team. It was very quiet and gave off the vibe of the old Xiangjiang City in the 80s and 90s.
The attic and the environment were also very old and a little isolated from the world. The old martial masters practiced boxing and chatted there early in the morning, drinking morning tea.
They also knew that Lin Zheng could play the role of Ninth Uncle, so they were especially enthusiastic about him. Most of them were injured all over and could no longer continue filming. They were all pitiful people with the retirement money of the Hong family.
However, he had a strong aura of martial arts and did not treat Lin Zheng as an outsider at all. Yuan Wu was one of them.
He could be considered the leader of this group of old martial masters. After all, he was a junior brother of the same generation as Hong Jingbao.
"Brother Wu, I'll be leaving then!"
"Brother Yi, Brother Sheng…"
Lin Zheng greeted them one by one, and the group of experienced people all laughed.
"Ah Zheng, try to get the role!”
"I think highly of you!"
"Come back at night and continue boxing together!”
"Kid, your path is quite authentic!"
Although Lin Zheng had inherited everything from Lin Zhengying and his body had been modified by the system, he still persisted in training and even sparred with the old martial masters.
Of course, this was to make his skills stronger and his physique stronger!
Although the system gave him a lot of power, he couldn't fall behind in his own hard work and training.
Martial arts films had always been a genre that could break into the international film industry in China. Especially in recent years, as Cheng Long and Li Lianjie aged, no one could carry the signboard of martial arts films.
Zhen Zidan from 2012 was still lacking, let alone Wu Jing and Zhao Wenzhuo.
As for Shi Xiaolong and Shi Yan…they were not even comparable to Zhou Zhaolong and the others from the Hong Family Class.
……
Lin Zheng hailed a taxi and arrived at Baijing Center, No. 7 Liuli Street, which was located in the eastern district of Xiangjiang Special Administrative Region!
The audition for Zombie was held on the 25th floor of the Baijing Center building.
Jinhong Film was only a rookie among the top eight film companies in Xiangjiang. Its founder was Mai Junlong, the screenwriter of Zombie. However, the company had investments from the Japanese.
So far, the company had only produced one movie, and it was a loss.
" Zombie " was the second film released by Jinhong Film Company. It was a show of desperation.
As the boss of the company, Mai Junlong was personally involved in this film. He was the producer, director, and scriptwriter. He had also bet all the company's funds and chips on this film.
However, Zombie was still a low-budget movie with an investment of only 10 million!
But this was all Mai Junlong had.
Ding!
Lin Zheng went straight to the 25th floor, and the receptionist of Jinhong Pictures hurriedly came to welcome him."Hello, are you here for the audition?"
"Yes, my name is Lin Zheng. I called you yesterday!”
"Please follow me!"
The receptionist led Lin Zheng forward, but Lin Zheng casually looked around.
Jinhong Pictures took up one floor, but the company was not big. There were only a few departments and about 20 employees. Compared to many big companies, it was indeed pitifully small.
However, Lin Zheng would not be auditioning for big companies. Just like yesterday, when Hong Jingbao confirmed the actors, it was almost all internally decided.
Newbie?
Without connections and channels, he would never have a chance.
Lin Zheng followed the receptionist to the audition area, which was in front of the conference room.
"Ah Zheng?"
"Ah Zheng, why are you here?"
"Are you here for the audition too?"
A bronze-skinned middle-aged man and a bespectacled Chen You stood up one after another. They looked at Lin Zheng in surprise as he walked over.
"Brother Hao, Uncle You!"
Lin Zheng greeted.
Of course, he knew that Qian Xiaohao and Chen You would come for the audition. They had met at the Hong Family's class yesterday.
They had all acted in " Mr. Zombie " before, so it was obvious that " Zombie " wanted them to apply for the male lead and supporting role.
Moreover, the two of them had another identity. They were both martial masters from the Hong family's class.
Qian Xiaohao had once acted in Qiusheng in Mr. Zombie, and the script of Zombie was tailor-made for him.
It was about a famous action movie star from the 1980s, Xiao Hao. He was once very popular with " Mr. Zombie." Unfortunately, as he grew older, he committed suicide and triggered a series of strange events.
As for Chen You, he was playing the role of Taoist Priest Four-Eyed. This time, he was auditioning for the same role as Lin Zheng. The first male supporting role, the last heavenly master.
Chen You didn't know, but Lin Zheng knew.
"Which role are you auditioning for?"
Qian Xiao Hao asked. Chen You also pricked up his ears curiously.
Lin Zheng didn't hide anything. He smiled." The waiter from the rice shop teahouse, the last heavenly master!"”
"F * ck!"
Chen You shouted on the spot, startling the other actors and actresses who were auditioning.
Lin Zheng also saw a few familiar figures. The future Best Actress, Hui Yinghong, and the famous golden leaf of Xiangjiang movies, Wu Yaohan. Zhong Fa of the Spring and Autumn Hall, whom he had met yesterday, was Lin Zhengying's junior brother. He played a villain in Mr. Zombie.
There was also Lou Nanguang, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actor along with Lin Zhengying and Xu Guanying, who played his cousin in Mr. Zombie.
At first glance, they were all " old acquaintances " from Mr. Zombie!
All of them raised their heads in unison, trying to guess Lin Zheng's identity. After all, most of the people present knew him, and only Lin Zheng was a newcomer.
"You brat, you're here to steal my role!”
"Damn it, aren't we going to lose this time?”
Chen You cursed as he punched Lin Zheng."Anyway, I don't care. If you get chosen, you owe me a meal!”
"Alright!"
"Let alone one meal, even ten meals will do!”
Lin Zheng laughed in Cantonese.
Lin Zheng already knew that Chen You had a good personality.
In fact, he was a musician. He was the drummer of the Wynna band founded by the famous Heavenly King Tan Yonglin.
It was by chance that he had acted in a movie. However, he did not expect that he would become famous because of Daoist Priest Four-Eyed.
That was why he had nothing better to do than to act.
"Ah You, who is this?"
Wu Yaohan stood up. Zhong Fa, who was beside him, chuckled."This person, I have to introduce him properly. He's my 'Brother Master', Lin Zhengying."
"Brother Fa, you can't say that!”
Hui Yinghong glared at Zhong Fa, who winked at her in a funny manner."Ah Hong, I haven't finished yet. It's his successor!”
"Successor!"
"Oh?"
"Successor?" Hui Yinghong blinked. Wasn't Brother Ying's successor Xiao Zhong?”
"It's different. This successor is very powerful. Hahaha…you'll know in a while!”
Zhong Fa kept them in suspense. Qian Xiaohao and Chen You laughed.
Looking at the malicious looks on these guys 'faces, Hui Yinghong was clearly a little dumbfounded.""Don't keep me in suspense. Hurry up and tell me!"
"Ah Zheng, you talk to her!"
Zhong Fa was too lazy to explain, but Lin Zheng walked up to Hui Yinghong and said,""Hello, Sister Hong. I'm Lin Zheng, Ninth Uncle's impersonator!”
"An imitator?"
Hui Yinghong wanted to continue asking, but the door of the conference room was pushed open.
A young man wearing glasses walked out. He was the scriptwriter and director of Zombie, Mai Junlong.
"Is everyone here?"
"Then let's begin!"
"Not many people auditioned together!”
Mai Junlong was straightforward. The group of people did not have any objections. After all, it was a small production team. In fact, the actors had already been decided internally.
Mai Junlong was about to return to the meeting room when he saw Lin Zheng beside Hui Yinghong from the corner of his eye. He could not help but be stunned.
This was because Lin Zheng gave him a very unfamiliar feeling. This time, he was recruiting actors and actresses from the old team. They were all actors that he knew.
Lin Zheng was clearly not within the scope of this group of people.
"Who are you?"
Mai Junlong suddenly asked.
