Chapter 169 Ready to boot!

The All-China Federation of Trade Unions Art Troupe is the only national-level comprehensive professional art group in the national trade union system.

The main responsibility is to focus on the overall situation of national work and the main tasks of trade union work, and use literary and artistic forms to publicize lines, principles, and policies.

There are many similar groups, such as the well-known Broadcasting Art Troupe, where actors such as Feng Gong, Niu Qun, and Li Jindou are all here.

There are also the Song and Dance Troupe of the General Administration Department, the Kongzheng Drama Troupe, the Second Artillery Art Troupe, etc.

A cultural troupe or theater troupe holding an iron rice bowl is a very good unit in this era.

However, with the development of the times, young men and women who have just graduated from school may not necessarily recognize the employer that has an iron rice bowl.

After all, once you become famous, you can make a lot of money just by taking on commercial performances.

…

The news that Jiang Peian came to cast the film on behalf of the China Film Group spread among the art troupe.

Deputy leader Yang Simin personally led the reception and called all the actors in the group over.

Except for those who are not performing tasks, almost everyone is here.

This shows that the art troupe attaches great importance to this matter.

Of course, it's just that Jiang Pei'an doesn't have such a big reputation, the main reason is that he has the behemoth China Film Group behind him.

There were about twenty people sitting in the conference room, including old, middle-aged and young people.

Most of them had unfamiliar faces, and Jiang Pei'an could vaguely identify a few of them relying on the memory of later generations.

For example, Sarina is more than ten years younger.

This actor's performance is very good, especially his wonderful performance in "The World".

Regarding Teacher Sarina, Jiang Pei'an suddenly remembered a saying that was passed down by later generations.

Sha Rina is actually the same age as Yi Nengjing, and Yin Nengjing is eight months older than her.

This is not unusual in the entertainment industry. Lao Guo is also the same age as Lin Zhiying.

Chen Jianbing and Longliqi are also the same age.

These visual differences have a lot to do with the characters the actors usually portray.

Therefore, directors usually ask for the actor's "visual age" when selecting roles, but rarely look at the actual age.

Of course, the fat little black guy looked so extreme simply because he met a baby-faced guy like Lin Zhiying.

Zeng Li in the audience looked slightly unnatural and surprised after seeing Jiang Peian.

But soon he sat in his seat with his head down.

Jiang Peian saw her at a glance on the stage.

I have to say that it is very appropriate for Zeng Li to play the role of a female officer.

What is this girl doing with her head down?

Avoid me?

The young actors are all familiar with Jiang Pei'an, but the older ones are a little unfamiliar with him.

"Such a young director? He's the casting director of China Film Group, right?"

"Is Yang Tuan a little too anxious to show off? This director seems unreliable."

"Jiang Peian? I've heard of this name before."

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and Yang Simin introduced with a smile:

"This is Director Jiang Peian. Some comrades may not know Director Jiang yet.

The Spring Festival movie "Hurricane Rescue" is the work of director Jiang, who is also the screenwriter.

Global box office of 200 million...USD!"

After hearing Yang Simin's words, there was a commotion in the audience.

Even though some people have learned about the total box office of "Taken" from the media.

But when I heard it again, I couldn't help but feel dizzy.

That’s a box office of $200 million!

This is much higher than the box office of those well-known veteran directors in China!

The older generation of actors couldn't help but shake their heads when they saw the enthusiasm in the young people's eyes.

The world is becoming more and more difficult to understand. A few years ago, there was Feng Xiaogang, and now there is Jiang Peian.

A movie with a box office of 200 million US dollars is frighteningly high, but what is the quality like?

However, they also understood why Yang Simin was so concerned about Jiang Pei'an's casting.

The old comrades have been acting conscientiously all their lives, and they have managed to get by with the little allowance they receive from the finance and work units every year.

But the future acting careers of young comrades have just begun.

A director with a guaranteed box office may be able to take these young actors to a level they cannot reach.

In terms of fame and treatment...

The old comrades felt relieved after they figured it out.

After Jiang Peian interacted with the people in the audience, he went directly to the topic and selected five young actors.

Zeng Li, who kept his head down, was also among them.

Everyone else is just a foil, after all, Yang Simin has been involved in such a big battle.

If he only had a crush on Zeng Li, his purpose would be too strong, and he would be too disrespectful to the art troupe.

What follows is a non-stop audition.

The overall quality of the actors in the art troupe is very good, but perhaps because they perform frequently, their performances are a bit exaggerated.

Zeng Li, who just joined the group, is doing well and retains the same style as when she was an actor.

However, in Jiang Pei'an's eyes, it was still raw.

But these can all be changed through training and are not a big problem.

"Director Jiang, can I... not appear?"

After the audition, Zeng Li secretly came to Jiang Peian and said.

Jiang Peian frowned slightly:

"Why?"

"The troupe, the troupe still has performance tasks, and I haven't rehearsed yet.

No, don’t want to miss the show.”

Don’t you want to star in a movie for the sake of the group’s performance?

Jiang Peian didn't know what to say.

But after seeing the persistence in Zeng Li's eyes, Jiang Pei'an did not make things difficult for her.

"Okay, if you don't want to star, I won't force you. You can think about it first and give me a call when you think about it."

Jiang Peian sighed, turned and left.

Zeng Li pursed her lips subconsciously, feeling a little aggrieved but also a little angry.

…

"Director Jiang, have all the auditions been completed? Haha, does the crew only choose one actor?

In fact, there are other outstanding actors in our troupe, don’t you want to take a look?”

Yang Simin's office, she said while making tea.

"We don't need many actors for this movie. This time our team came to choose the heroine."

Well, one of the heroines is also a heroine.

Hearing this, Yang Simin's eyes lit up and he said:

"That's great. Which comrade was chosen?"

"Zeng Li."

"This girl Zeng Li can do it. She graduated from a Chinese opera major. She has good looks and good acting skills."

Yang Simin smiled happily.

Jiang Peian sighed and said:
