After Lin Fei's performance ended, the five casting judges were stunned for a moment.
Shocking, they felt their hearts and minds shaking!
Lin Fei's acting was too good. This was Li Bai, this was the immortal poet!
After a few seconds of silence, Lin Ye was the first to applaud.
"Good, very good. This is the first time I've seen an actor who can act Li Bai to this extent. It's really beyond my expectations!”Lin Ye said excitedly.
Cheng Kaige also smiled in satisfaction. He knew that the actor for this role had basically been confirmed.
Lin Fei's performance was perfect!
He originally thought that the person who came was a small actor who had been stuffed in by some connections. He did not expect Lin Fei to be able to act like a legendary poet like Li Bai so vividly.
This was far beyond his expectations!
"Not bad. Your name is Lin Fei, right? You're not bad.”Cheng Kaige also smiled.
When the other two assistant directors saw Cheng Kaige so happy, they were naturally happy too.
Moreover, they had all seen Lin Fei's performance just now.
Compared to the other actors who had just auditioned, it was like the difference between heaven and earth!
However, Ding Meng, the investor representative, could not help but frown.
Lin Fei's acting skills were very good, he admitted.
However, Ding Meng had been pushing his sister's son, Wu Hong. If this role was decided on now, it would be more difficult for him to snatch the role later.
"I don't think we need to try anyone else. Lin Fei is very suitable for this role.”Cheng Kaige looked at the casting directors around him and said.
"Isn't it too hasty to decide on a candidate just for a poem? We should take a look." Ding Meng retorted immediately.
Cheng Kaige glanced at him. Ding Meng represented a large investor, so Cheng Kaige still had to consider his opinion.
"Manager Ding, do you mean to hold another round of re-examination?”
"Yes, I personally think that Wu Hong is more suitable. After all, he has some traffic and his acting isn't too bad.”Ding Meng nodded and said politely.
Cheng Kaige frowned. Wu Hong was not bad. If Lin Fei had not appeared, Cheng Kaige might have chosen Wu Hong as Li Bai's actor.
But now, after Cheng Kaige saw Lin Fei's performance, he felt that only Lin Fei could express Li Bai's unrestrained and debauchery.
Wu Hong was still lacking in cultivation.
"Alright, since Manager Ding has said so, let's watch another scene. Stage supervisor, go invite Wu Hong, Liu Haoran, and Ou Hao in. We'll start the second round now!”Cheng Kaige thought about it and wasn't worried about anything. He asked the stage supervisor to call for someone.
Not long after, the actors who had passed the preliminary audition were called in.
In the Tang Imperial Palace.
Liu Haoran, Ou Hao, Wu Hong, and Lin Fei stood side by side.
There was no need to talk about their looks and figures. To be able to work in the industry of young actors, their looks were all one in a million.
"After a few rounds of selection, the four of you have finally passed the preliminary test. The person who passed would get the role of Li Bai.”Cheng Kaige said.
The four of them listened attentively.
After all, everyone wanted this role.
"The four of you go backstage and change into Li Bai's clothes. This time, we're serious.”Cheng Kaige added.
Then, he called the costume team and makeup artist of the production team and left with Lin Fei and the others.
Not long after, the four of them walked out of the dressing room. They were all dressed in white clothes, and their sleeves fluttered in the wind. They had a unique charm. If they were placed in the Great Tang, they would be four talented scholars that could stun the world.
This was the effect that Cheng Kaige wanted.
He wanted to see if Lin Fei could show the same feeling as Li Bai in front of the real camera.
"The scene for the second round is very simple. The three of you will recite the poem again. This time, you will have to add actions. You will walk from here to there in the palace and act drunk.”
Cheng Kaige said.
Wearing Li Bai's clothes and reciting the poem again, it would be easier to see who could really play the role.
"I think it's better to recite 'Into the Wine' for the sake of fairness.”Ding Meng said at this moment.
His words were obviously biased towards the others. This was because, in terms of effect," Let's Drink " was far better than the poems provided by the script.
Only the poem that Lin Fei had recited previously was "About to Drink."
Cheng Kaige didn't say much about this.
"Wu Hong, get ready. You go first.”Cheng Kaige looked at Wu Hong and said indifferently.
"Okay, Director Cheng." Wu Hong smiled gently and then focused on reading the poem. He had memorized this poem in middle school, so it was not difficult for him to recite it.
Then, he began to perform while the other three watched from the side.
Wu Hong's acting skills were not bad. He was able to perfectly express his drunken expression. His recital voice was also full of emotion. It seemed that he had also put in some effort in school.
However, after his performance, the judges were silent.
Wu Hong's performance lacked Li Bai's temperament, romance, and frivolity.
It was just a performance of drunk poetry.
Then, it was Liu Haoran and Ou Hao. These two people's performances were also not bad and received everyone's unanimous affirmation.
Finally, it was Lin Fei.
The other three looked at Lin Fei. Compared to the few of them, Lin Fei was the least famous. It could even be said that he was beyond the 18th level.
There must be something special about Lin Fei for him to stay here and compete with them. They were all very curious.
Lin Fei was dressed in white and had a green jade wine pot hanging from his waist. His clothes were not neat and looked a little messy.
His hair was a little messy.
But even so, he perfectly portrayed a drunken poet who was arrogant and arrogant.
It could be said that his appearance from the beginning was more perfect than the others!
Then he began to perform, his frivolous voice echoing in the palace.
It carried a bit of unruliness and arrogance, making people's hearts tremble.
Liu Haoran was stunned, and Ou Hao was also surprised.
Lin Fei had an aura about him, an aura that they did not know he had.
His performance was the most suitable for Li Bai, who was known as the "Di Immortal"!
He was like an ancient immortal poet who had walked out of a painting. The imperial palace of the Tang Empire was the best background for him.
Lin Fei's performance was perfect, especially compared to the other people's performances just now.
Liu Haoran and Ou Hao looked at each other.
They had acted with the veteran actor before, so they knew the powerful appeal of the veteran actor.
For example, they had seen Chen Daoming, the veteran actor who played the role of the emperor. When Chen Daoming was angry, the surrounding people were shocked. It was as if they had really seen the insufferably arrogant emperor!
The current Lin Fei gave them the same feeling.
It was as if they were really seeing the immortal poet!
"He's so young, but he can already do this!”Liu Haoran thought to himself, That's amazing!”
"I still need to work hard!" Ou Hao secretly made up his mind.
At this moment, Lin Fei's performance ended.
The poem he recited was still echoing in their ears.
Cheng Kaige smiled in satisfaction. The scene that Lin Fei had shown was the scene he wanted to put on the screen.
"Very good! Thank you for your hard work. We will inform you of the candidates later.”Cheng Kaige said to everyone with a smile.
The few of them went to the dressing room to remove their makeup. On the way, Liu Haoran said to Lin Fei,"Congratulations, your acting skills are really good.”
When he saw Lin Fei recite poetry just now, he almost had goosebumps. One could imagine how infectious Lin Fei was.
"I've also used all my strength." Lin Fei said with a smile.
The two of them chatted for a while and could be considered acquaintances.
Then, the four of them changed back into their original clothes and walked out of the Tang Imperial Palace.
The first to walk out was Ou Hao. Everyone outside the Tang Imperial Palace looked at Ou Hao with curiosity.
They guessed that Cheng Kaige had asked the three of them to go in to confirm the candidates, but Ou Hao had always been expressionless, so they couldn't see anything.
The others also walked out one after another.
To be honest, Lin Fei was not confident at this time. Although his acting skills were indeed outstanding, the casting of the script was not determined by his acting skills.
The capital behind it was very important.
Capital had a lot of influence on a script. Sometimes, they even had the right to modify the script in order to add a character's scene.
"I still insist on my opinion and choose Wu Hong.”Ding Meng said firmly in the Tang Imperial Palace.
His words made Cheng Kaige frown.
"Professor Lin, what do you think?" Cheng Kaige turned to ask Lin Ye, the master of Chinese studies.
"Although those young people acted very well, only that actor called Lin Fei truly acted Li Bai's momentum. He acted too well and his emotions were very accurate.”Lin Ye said seriously.
"This is the Li Bai of the Great Tang.”
Hearing Lin Ye's words, Cheng Kaige nodded and smiled." I think so too."”
Cheng Kaige didn't need to consider the opinions of the other two assistant directors.
This movie was his blood and sweat, and he valued the role of Li Bai very much.
Thus, Cheng Kaige said unhurriedly,""It's settled! The young Li Bai of the Legend of Catwoman was Lin Fei!”
