The crew of "The Condor" had previously said that they would officially announce the cast list on August 25, Liu Yifei's birthday, but the crew once again broke their promise.
There was still controversy over casting until the 27th.
Jiang Qinqin, who had already lost the election, once again called Zhang Jizhong to "rethink it."
He also believes that Chen Kun and himself are "definitely the most perfect combination."
After Jiang Qinqin finished shouting here, there was an accident at the China International Radio, Film and Television Expo.
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was an important transaction item at the Guangzhou Expo. Unexpectedly, as soon as it was put on the market, it was opposed by film buyers from many TV stations across the country.
Opposed to Zhou Xun's role as Little Dragon Girl.
The role has not been confirmed yet, and Zhou Xun is still the biggest favorite for Little Dragon Girl. Zhou Xun even said in public that she has received the complete script and is already preparing for the role, just short of signing the contract.
Opposition from various television stations made the casting of Xiao Long Nu uncertain once again, and investors began to hesitate.
It is reported that after the Guangzhou Expo, several investors and major executives of the producer of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will hold another meeting to discuss whether Zhou Xun will play the role of Xiao Longnu.
The reason the investors revealed, intentionally or unintentionally, was not that they were worried about Zhou Xun's performance as Little Dragon Girl, but that they were worried about Zhou Xun's overseas performance.
Zhou Xun is not well-known overseas, and investors are trying to get Southeast Asian TV stations such as Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand to come in and buy the film. Zhou Xun's business card is not easy to use.
Of course, this is an external statement, and no one knows the real reason.
In September, after the start of school was officially announced, there were already less than half of the class.
Although it is commonplace for all classroom teachers, they still sigh.
Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei are both in school and have attended a few classes honestly.
On the first weekend of the new school year, Zhang Yuanjun received a notice from the crew of "No. 1 in the World" asking him to complete the dubbing work of "No. 1 in the World" at a studio in Beijing as scheduled.
"The Best in the World" has two versions, Mandarin and Cantonese. The Mandarin version is dubbed by Zhang Yuanjun himself, while the Cantonese version is dubbed by more professional actors arranged by the crew.
In the dubbing studio, Zhang Yuanjun met Ji Guanlin, who will be responsible for most of the female lead roles in the entertainment industry in the future. She played two roles, dubbing the Yagyu sisters.
Through conversation, Zhang Yuanjun learned that the Mandarin dubbing of Little Dragon Girl will also be Ji Guanlin in the future.
Although Ji Guanlin has just officially become a voice actress, she has already dubbed hundreds of translated films during her schooling and has very rich experience.
Zhang Yuanjun watched Ji Guanlin's dubbing for a while. The dubbing actor didn't just start reading the film as soon as she got it. She also had to read the script thoroughly, grasp the characters' emotions, and sometimes communicate with the crew.
A good voice actor can use his voice to reshape a character and make the character stand out even more.
Sun Li's performance in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is good, and Ji Guanlin's performance is also good. The two achieve each other's success.
If Yang Mi plays Bai Qian, "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" will be deducted big points.
Zhang Yuanjun also asked Ji Guanlin jokingly: "Who do you think is more suitable for Xiao Longnu?"
"I didn't know." Ji Guanlin said with a smile, "No matter who plays me, I will be matched with the same character. I just hope to choose a little dragon girl with better original lines, so that we don't have to work hard to find her breath and mouth shape when matching."
This is true. When you encounter an actor who is not good at speaking, not only is it uncomfortable to watch on the set, but it is also uncomfortable for the dubbing actors in the post-production process. The tone of voice, sentence fragments, emotions, and mouth shapes must be reshaped by the dubbing actors themselves. For an actor, dubbing is more tiring than acting in a play.
This may be the reason why Ji Guanlin, Bian Jiang and others have been active in the dubbing frontline for the next twenty years. In the future, young actors will become increasingly poor in their lines and rely heavily on experienced dubbing actors to re-give emotions to their characters.
After watching Ji Guanlin's professional dubbing performance for a while, Zhang Yuanjun also went to his own recording studio to dub.
I didn't return to school until after ten o'clock in the evening.
Now in his junior year, there are obviously fewer classes, and the teachers don’t pay much attention to them. Zhang Yuanjun attends classes when he has classes, but when he doesn’t, he dubs Gui Hai Yida. His life is very fulfilling.
This period of time is the longest time that students from the 02 form have seen Liu Yifei in school.
It has been nearly 20 days since the end of August. Liu Yifei attends class on time every day and goes to the cafeteria to eat after class.
When did Liu Yifei stay at school for more than a week in a row?
A bit abnormal.
In fact, it’s not that they don’t have a script to look for, but Liu Yifei wants to wait until the Xiao Long Nu matter is settled.
If Xiao Long Nu is chosen, she will play Xiao Long Nu. If she is not chosen, there is no rush to take on other roles.
Anyway, it’s only in the past few days.
On the second Saturday of September, Zhang Yuanjun came to the recording studio early in the morning to dub. Gui Hai Yida's dubbing would be over in two days.
After finishing the recording in the morning, he had dinner with the staff in the recording studio. After dinner, Zhang Yuanjun wanted to lie down and squint, but as soon as he closed his eyes, he received a call from Luo Jin.
The phone rang as usual, but Zhang Yuanjun always felt that today's ringtone sounded like a reminder.
After picking up the phone, before Zhang Yuanjun could speak, Luo Jin's hurried and surprised voice came: "Selected! Selected!"
"What was chosen? Who was chosen?"
"You! You chose Yang Guo! And Yifei, she plays the little dragon girl!"
Zhang Yuanjun's heart skipped a beat, like a big stone thrown into a calm lake, breaking the silence of the deep valley.
"Please make it clear, it's not convenient for me to access the Internet here and I can't read the news."
"For the press conference that just started, Big Beard has personally selected you, Yifei, and Yang Guo as Little Dragon Girl! Filming will start in Jiuzhaigou in the middle of next month. The crew should contact you right away."
Zhang Yuanjun was still confused. Luo Jin said: "The media and the industry are all noisy now. Strictly speaking, both You and Yifei are newcomers, and now they are saying that the bearded man is too bold in his selection. I won't tell you anymore. Just prepare to take the call from the crew and come back to treat us tonight."
"Okay, you must invite me. You can eat and drink as much as you want in the evening." Zhang Yuanjun reacted and laughed.
Sure enough, within five minutes, the crew of "The Condor" called and formally informed him: "I have been selected by the crew to play Yang Guo. Come to the crew office at five o'clock in the afternoon to sign a contract."
Zhang Yuanjun promised: "Okay, okay, I will definitely come in the afternoon. Thank you, thank you."
After hanging up the phone with the crew, Liu Yifei's call came: "Ah -" I could tell she was very excited.
Zhang Yuanjun instead advised her: "You have something to say."
"Yang Guo Xiao Longnu! I really didn't expect the two of us to be chosen!" Liu Yifei was rolling on the sofa excitedly.
"Be happy." Zhang Yuanjun smiled.
"I'm so happy."
"Be happy."
"So happy."
"I'll be hosting tonight!"
"Okay! Hahahahaha——" Liu Yifei agreed without thinking.
Later in the afternoon, Liu's mother drove, took Liu Yifei with her, and picked up Zhang Yuanjun on the way. The three of them went to the crew's residence and successfully signed the actor's contract.
Zhang Yuanjun was elected to Yang Guo, and Liu Xiaoli was also very happy. He is his daughter's classmate. In the future, whether it is acting or daily interactions with the crew, the two will be more harmonious.
Being with friends always makes people feel more at ease.
After coming out of the crew station, Liu Yifei took the initiative to tell her mother that Zhang Yuanjun would treat her to a party tonight and she would also attend.
Mother Liu smiled and said: "Go, have fun and come back early."
