Start with a fake university

Mist City University of Arts and Sciences gymnasium.

More and more students from the School of Film and Television gathered in the gymnasium to take a look at today's "Casting Competition".

The students didn't know what kind of movie or TV series the audition was about, but it was the School of Film and Television and director Su Yangfan who was supposed to organize the event.

As a well-known director in China, Su Yangfan is now a lecturer at the School of Film and Television of Fog City University of Arts and Sciences, so the students of the School of Film and Television naturally wanted to watch Director Su cast his role.

"It's said that director Su is preparing to make his next drama?"

"To be able to act in a TV series made by Director Su, that's a blood profit."

"Too bad I'm not an acting major."

"Isn't it great that Director Su chooses his actors for the TV series from our Fog City University of Arts and Sciences first."

"I heard that Director Su's film and TV drama project this time is funded by President Ding."

"Oh, no wonder, so it's President Ding. President Ding is really rich, and he really thinks about the students of Mist City University of Arts and Sciences all the time."

"Of course, we are family with President Ding."

The students who had come to watch the event were talking about it, and they all found their own seats in the gym.

In the middle of the gymnasium, where the basketball game was originally played, the logistics department has assisted the film and television academy with the arrangement.

A few tables were set up to the left, with a large space in the middle left open for the students to show off their talents.

In the middle of the row of tables, there was a vacant seat.

Su Yangfan sat on the right hand side of the empty seat in the middle, and Zhu Youzhao, the director of the film school, sat on the left hand side.

After learning that Principal Ding had personally approved this casting, Zhu Youzhao has been very active in assisting Su Yangfan in arranging the casting.

"Director Su, when will Principal Ding come over?"

When Zhu Youzhao saw that everything was ready, he asked Su Yangfan about it.

"I've just gotten through to Principal Ding, and he'll be right over."

"Good."

The two of them chatted in a few words.

"Right Director Su, can you reveal something about the casting this time, what kind of film and television project is the role being cast for?"

Zhu Youzhao couldn't help but ask curiously.

Other than Su Yangfan and his work team, no one else knew about the Wandering Earth project.

After all, this new film project had just opened, and certain secrecy measures were still necessary.

"This ...... Because the project has just begun to enter the casting stage, Director Zhu hopes you can understand." Su Yangfan said with some embarrassment.

Obviously even if he was the department head of the film and television academy, Su Yangfan wouldn't tell him what the film and television project he was going to make was at this moment.

"Understanding, of course I understand." Zhu Youzhao nodded his head with a smile after hearing that.

At this moment, Ding Yue came over from behind and saw that the head of the Film and Television Academy, Zhu Youzhao, and director Su Yangfan were chatting quite happily, so he came up and asked, "What are you two chatting about?"

"Hahaha, President Ding, I was chatting with Director Su, this way please, President Ding." Zhu Youzhao had the eye for detail and stood up quickly to make way for Principal Ding, pulling his chair back a little.

After Ding Yue came to sit down, his secretary Wen Ruohan stood behind him.

When Ding arrived at the gymnasium, the onlookers cheered enthusiastically when they saw Principal Ding.

Seeing how enthusiastic the students were, Ding extended his hand and greeted everyone.

"Is everything ready?"

After greeting the students, Ding Yue looked at Su Yangfan beside him and asked.

"Mm-hmm." Su Yangfan nodded his head.

"Let's start then."

"Okay Principal Ding, Little Chen, go inform the students who have registered and prepare to go on stage according to the sequence number." Su Yangfan immediately said to his assistant, Xiao Chen.

After receiving the order, Xiao Chen turned around and went to the lounge of the registered students, and when he arrived at the door, he informed, "Everyone get ready to go on stage according to the sequence number, now student #1 is ready."

While Ding and Su Yangfan were chatting, the student with serial number 1 walked from one side to the middle of the basketball court, about three to five meters away from Ding and Su Yangfan.

This time, the actors to be chosen to play the roles were Liu Qi, the male protagonist and Han Doduo, the female protagonist from "Wandering Earth".

Both of them are suitable roles for actors in their teens and twenties, very suitable for the students of their own Mist City University of Arts and Sciences College of Film and Television acting major.

"Hello Principal Ding, Hello Director Zhu, Hello Teacher Su, I'm No. 1, Zhao Hao, an acting major from the School of Film and Television."

After coming up, student Zhao Hao first introduced himself briefly.

Ding Yue set his eyes on this Zhao Hao, and at first glance, he felt that this student was not bad.

He didn't belong to that kind of fresh meat, his hairstyle was short, very spiritual, and his whole body didn't have the feeling of fresh meat.

Ding Yue felt that this Zhao Hao's overall appearance is actually quite suitable for the role of the male lead Liu Qi in "Wandering Earth".

Of course, this is just a cosmetic image, and Ding Yue, no matter how amateurish he is, is not going to settle on it, so he should definitely check his acting skills.

After all, the role of Liu Qi in "Wandering Earth" is actually a test of his acting skills if he wants to play it well.

At least Ding Yue felt that the original Liu Qi and Han Doduo in the original "Wandering Earth" movie on the former Earth was missing some of that meaning.

In particular, Han Doduo is a bit stiff.

After the student Zhao Hao introduced himself briefly, Su Yangfan picked up a booklet that he had already prepared and looked at Zhao Hao.

"Let's start with a performance of facing despair." Su Yangfan said to Zhao Hao with a smile.

In "Wandering Earth", the main character Liu Qi has encountered desperate situations many times, and at this time, the performance of facing desperation is quite important.

Su Yangfan just wanted to see how Zhao Hao's acting ability is, after all, he is a student of acting from the Film and Television College of Fog City University of Arts and Sciences.

In almost a second, Zhao Hao instantly entered into the performance state.

From his facial expressions and eyes, a look of despair was revealed, and even the desperation of emotions could be seen, as well as his breathing began to become disordered.

Ding Yue was actually quite surprised at what he saw.

This student Zhao Hao seemed to be doing well.

"Principal Ding, look, when Zhao Hao was facing despair in his performance, he used almost his whole body, not to mention his facial expressions, which is the most common, especially in some details.

Su Yangfan leaned in and whispered to Ding Yue in detail about student Zhao Hao's performance.

"Well, isn't that pretty good?"

"I never thought the first student to come up here would give me such a big surprise." Su Yangfan said with satisfaction.

Su Yangfan said with great satisfaction.

That's right, Zhao Hao's performance in the face of despair made Su Yangfan very satisfied.

Zhao Hao's performance was 45 seconds long, which was very short, but he had already shown his strength, at least a strength that made Su Yangfan very satisfied.

"Good, very good, student Zhao Hao, you come back with another performance of a young man who takes on heavy responsibilities and becomes mature and stable." Su Yangfan gave another question to Zhao Hao.

Ding Yue quickly thought of the character Liu Qi in "Wandering Earth", indeed, in the continuous progress, gradually become a heavy burden to bear, become mature and stable, and become a little man to support the burden of the entire rescue process.

This kind of performance is really important.

Zhao Hao, after understanding Su Yangfan's meaning, took about ten seconds to adjust a little.

After all, he was still facing the emotion of despair just now, so he definitely needed to adjust.

After ten seconds, Zhao Hao let himself into the state again, and also said a few lines, this line was said temporarily and randomly, the content of the lines certainly fit Su Yangfan's request to perform the theme of a little man.

"Well, not bad."

Su Yangfan still nodded his head in satisfaction.

If there weren't any other students in the back who hadn't participated in the audition, Su Yangfan even wanted to discuss with Principal Ding and choose Zhao Hao as the main character of Wandering Earth.

In fact, Ding Yue was very satisfied with Zhao Hao's performance in the audition.

"Director Su, this Zhao Hao is not bad, right?" Ding Yue smiled and asked Su Yangfan in a low voice.

Su Yangfan nodded slightly, "Well, Principal Ding, then this Zhao Hao's words will be put into the preparatory selection?"

"Yes."

The so-called preparatory choice was that his ability actually already matched the casting of the male lead, but since he was the first, there were still many students behind him to participate in the sea casting performance, in case there were more than one student who satisfied Ding Yue and Su Yangfan, then all of them were put into the preparatory choice, and eventually the most suitable one from them would be chosen.

"Zhao Hao, it's over, you can go back and wait for the news." Su Yangfan then said to Zhao Hao with a very formal expression.

"Didn't Teacher Su say whether he passed or not?"

"Who knows about that."

"I think Zhao Hao-chan's performance was pretty good."

"Yes, yes, Hao-ho-zi was really superb."

"There are so many students in the back, we can't just choose Zhao Hao here, we definitely have to make a choice after all of them have tried out."

"Right, right, right, and let's see how the students in the back did."

The onlookers in the gymnasium whispered and gossiped.

Zhao Hao, after finishing the sea selection, bowed in greeting, then returned to the lounge, followed by student #2.

Chapter 2

After seeing this student #2, Ding Yue couldn't help but see the brightness of this student ...... It seems that this student is not suitable to play the main character Liu Qi.

But!

There's still a character in Wanderlust that fits him perfectly!

That's right!

It's the little yellow hair that Liu Qi and his sister, Han Doduo, met inside after they were captured.

"Hello Principal Ding, Hello Director Zhu, Hello Teacher Su, I'm No. 2, Zhou Shanchuan, an acting major from the School of Film and Television."

The student also introduced herself briefly.

"Director Su, do you have a feeling that the student's temperament and appearance would be suitable for another role?"

Ding Yue smiled at Su Yangfan and asked him.

When Su Yangfan heard that, he immediately revealed a wisp of a smile: "Principal Ding, you mean that yellow-haired TIM?"

"Right." Ding Yue nodded.

Su Yangfan thought for a moment and said, "Principal Ding, I think this Tim's character can be the funny one in the whole movie."

"Yeah."

After Su Yangfan was sure of it, he raised his head and looked at Zhou Shanchuan and said, "Student Zhou Shanchuan, try to perform a character that drives the comedic atmosphere, a cheerful character, the kind of character that can be optimistic and spontaneous under a heavy big theme."

Su Yangfan asked Zhou Shanchuan to act out the situation of the character Tim in "Wandering Earth".

After Zhou Shanchuan heard the words, he nodded, "Well well, Teacher Su, I'll get ready."

After about half a minute, amidst the silence, Zhou Shanchuan began his audition performance.

Ding Yue looked at it seriously.

Although this Zhou Shanchuan is not a hybrid, he does have a bit of that look, and his ability to be funny is actually quite good.

"Yoo-hoo."

Ding could not help but mutter.

What's going on today? Are all the students who applied to audition for the role of Wandering Earth this good?

This ...... What if the students are too good to be true?

Ding Yue's heart was ecstatic.

Zhou Shanchuan's instant performance lasted about two minutes, after which he looked over at Principal Ding and Director Su Yangfan.

"What do you think, Director Su?" Ding Yue turned around and was the first to ask Su Yangfan.

"It's pretty good, although his performance just now was a little bit off, but I believe that he should be able to perform the role of TIM under my guidance when he enters the crew."

When Su Yangfan said that, Ding Yue almost knew.

Director Su Yangfan was more than satisfied with Zhou Shanchuan.

"It's pretty hard to pick the role of TIM, and it's hard to meet a student who is such a great fit, so why don't we just settle on that?"

Ding Yue suggested with a smile.

"Yes."

Su Yangfan nodded his head when he saw that Principal Ding had said so.

Then, Su Yangfan looked at Zhou Shanchuan and said with a smile on his face, "Congratulations, fellow student Zhou Shanchuan, you've won a role, go back and wait for our follow-up notification!"

Wow!

The onlookers in the gymnasium got excited when they heard director Su Yangfan say that, and were happy for Zhou Shanchuan's classmates.

"I go, Zhou Shanchuan won a role, didn't Zhao Hao just now get a role?"

"Maybe it's the different roles, you guys see that Zhou Shanchuan is obviously not the same type as Zhao Hao."

"Yes, yes, yes, that part of Zhou Shanchuan's performance just now, I thought it was great."

"Worthy of being an acting major, our Mist City University of Arts and Sciences acting majors are no worse than those science classes, hahahaha."
