Chapter 217 Casting
Qiao Xiu started the casting work of the movie "The Story of the Loyal Dog Hachiko" in Sir Bai Jinghua's study.
The number of actors recommended by Sir Bai Jinghua is very large. Qiao Xiu has reviewed thirteen actors, and all of these thirteen actors have successfully passed the review and joined the crew of "The Story of the Loyal Dog Hachiko".
Seeing several of the actors being so excited that they even hugged each other, Qiao Xiu wanted to tell them, 'You are just here to play supporting roles'.
"Next."
After reviewing a fat actor and subscribed him to the role of a barbecue shop owner who often feeds Hachiko in "The Story of the Loyal Dog Hachiko", Qiao Xiu signaled that Sir Bai Jinghua could let the next actor come in.
Sir Bai Jinghua opened the door and a girl who looked similar to Ino walked in. After reviewing here for so long, Qiao Xiu finally saw a girl with a look comparable to Ino.
Her identity in the Baijinghua Theater Troupe is indeed in line with her extraordinary appearance.
Qiao Xiu glanced at a record book written by Sir Bai Jinghua in his hand. The function of this record book is similar to the "roster", which records the names and brief introductions of the actors of Bai Jinghua Theater.
This time the casting order is based on the records on the 'roster'.
According to the records, she is the heroine of the "Bai Jinghua Opera Troupe". Sir Bai Jinghua praised the heroine's potential and talent in the short record below.
"Norli?"
Qiao Xiu pronounced her name based on what was written in the record book.
"Mr. Director, to be precise, Noli Yekalinjie," she said.
Before casting, Sir Bai Jinghua seemed to have told the actors of the troupe that Qiao Xiu said various special "nouns" on the film.
Judging from the confident expression on her face, she seemed to think that he was the heroine of the next movie.
As the female lead of the Baijinghua Opera Troupe, her confidence is natural. If Sir Baijinghua praises her in her "resume" all the true words, this Noli Yekalinjie is indeed a very talented actress.
Unfortunately, the next movie that Qiao Xiu filmed... there is no heroine at all. If you insist on saying that, then there is only that pet dog.
Qiao Xiu believed that no matter how beautiful this girl looks and how good she is in the role of "Bagong".
"I understand, please next one."
Qiao Xiu tentatively appointed her as the daughter of the male protagonist in the movie. After Qiao Xiu wrote down her name on the cast, she did not leave.
"Forgive me... Mr. Director, can you tell me... the role I will play next?"
She did not leave like other actors in the Baijinghua Theater Troupe, and wanted to urgently know what role she would play in the young director's next movie.
Is the arrogance of being the female star of the Bai Jinghua Opera Troupe?
"A supporting role is the daughter of the hero, and the workload is not very large..."
Qiao Xiu patiently explained to her.
"supporting role…"
She was stunned for a moment when Qiao Xiu's answer was answered, and glanced at Sir Bai Jinghua beside her. Sir Bai Jinghua just answered by shaking her head constantly.
Finally, she bit her lip lightly, and after hesitating for a few seconds, she finally accepted the role arranged by Qiao Xiu.
The female lead of the Baijinghua Theater left the study and Qiao Xiu started casting work for the next actor.
In just less than an hour, the record book in Qiao Xiu's hand turned to the end of the page, and the last actor from the Baijinghua Opera Troupe was a young boy who looked young.
The casting ended this time, and the supporting roles in "The Story of Hachiko" must be almost certain. As the protagonist's "Professor", Qiao Xiu only has a few candidates to be decided, including Sir Bai Jinghua.
"Are these all the members of your troupe?"
Qiao Xiu closed the record book. The number of people in the Baijinghua Theater Troupe is praised as "poorly few" than that in the Black Swan Theater Troupe. Logically speaking, these should not be the only people in the troupe that needs to support a large stage play.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Qiao Xiu, some actors have returned to their motherland, and only a few have chosen to stay..."
Sir Bai Jinghua was also a little frustrated when he said this. Since the movie appeared, the managers of the Nolan National Theater have also suffered the most.
Although the movie allowed Sir Bai Jinghua to make money that he had never made in his life, he felt an indescribable sadness when he thought of the two theater troupes of Nolan.
He was always born by acting in stage plays, and now he is also a stage play actor. He also loves stage plays, but the appearance of the movie is destined to take the form of "performance" to a higher level.
Perhaps the stage play will not die in the future, but the fate of decline is inevitable.
Now Sir Bai Jinghua can only follow the pace of the times, in order to not become one of the 'abandoned people'.
“It’s really a pity.”
Qiao Xiu will definitely need to recruit a large number of actors in the future. Nolan does not have an art academy that trains actors like Fallosi, so the members of those two troupes are the "talents" that Qiao Xiu needs.
But they chose to leave and escape.
Qiao Xiu took out the cast of "The Loyal Dog Hachiko" and prepared to hand over the role of the male lead "Professor" to Sir Bai Jinghua, but the door of the study was knocked at this time.
"Please come in."
Qiao Xiu shouted outside the door, and the door of the study was pushed open, an old man in a waiter uniform walked in.
"I'm upset," he said.
The elderly servant didn't look like a character who came in to serve tea and water. Qiao Xiu looked at Sir Bai Jinghua standing by the door with a puzzled look.
I found that Sir Bai Jinghua's face was completely covered with a surprised expression.
He stretched out his hand and pointed at the old man in front of him tremblingly.
"Morgen...Master Morgan!"
Perhaps a little strange, Qiao Xiu actually heard a hint of pious feeling in the trembling tone of Sir Bai Jinghua.
The old man was indeed wearing the attendant costume of the Baijinghua Theater, but Sir Baijinghua's shocked expression made Qiao Xiu realize that the old man had mixed into the Baijinghua Theater by disguise or infiltrating.
What's even more terrifying is that Sir Bai Jinghua never noticed it.
"Long time no see, Kelman, the last time I met you was at the premiere of "This Devil Not Too Cold"" he said.
Kelman is the original name of Sir Bai Jinghua. He knows Sir Bai Jinghua, and he is a little excited when he sees Sir Bai Jinghua's performance.
"No...Master Morgan, why do you wear this outfit..."
"I don't have any performances in the theater, so I'll come to you as a servant to earn some money for dinner. I heard you're recruiting actors from new movies. Can I come and try it?"
"you…"
When Sir Bai Jinghua said this, he just thought of saying "No problem" and agreed, but suddenly he realized that the owner of this theater is no longer him.
His gaze looked at Qiao Xiu.
"No problem." Qiao Xiu replied with a smile.
