Although each of the more than 50 people who came to the audition was extremely nervous, the result of the audition had actually been decided before it started.
All these actors will become actors in "Da Qin", but the roles they play will be different.
Someone like Xiao Jie Mo can play an important role like Yu Ji.
However, those actors who do not meet Nanaya's requirements can at least get an NPC role.
"Da Qin" requires quite a few Chinese actors, enough to be shared by 50 people.
From this perspective, this audition has a bit of the flavor of the ancient imperial examination in China.
All of them will be admitted, but the levels of differentiation among them will have a profound impact on their future development as stars.
Without a doubt, the trio, whom Lily called vixens, were all accepted, and were all asked by Nanaya to play the main roles in the movie.
Moreover, Xiao Jie Mo and Qin Jue signed a contract with Washimine to become members of Trier, and began to perform as members in China and Japan.
Although Xiao Jie Mo and Qin Jue were not the first foreign members of Trier, their joining the group still caused a lot of controversy.
The reason for this is that these two people did not pass the selection and were directly parachuted into the team.
Or maybe Shion somehow conveyed to the members of Trier the hint that Xiao Jie Mo was interested in Nanaya.
This immediately made Trier explode.
After all, more than half of the important members of this idol group have close ties with Nanaya.
Therefore, after Xiao Jie Mo and Qin Jue joined the group, they were immediately ostracized by others.
Only Astolfo, this idiot, didn't understand the situation and was foolish enough to contact the two people.
Nanaya knew about what happened to Xiao Jie Mo and Qin Jue, but he did not come forward or express any opinions.
This incident was caused by me. If I intervene, the two girls will suffer more ostracism.
Xiao Jie Mo has a high EQ. Although Qin Jue is a little naive, she is also a smart girl.
I believe that over time, they will gradually integrate into the team.
Because as long as Nanaya made it clear that he was not interested in these two girls, Lily and the others would definitely accept them.
In fact, during the audition in China, Xiao Jie Mo mentioned very vaguely the original agreement between the two of them.
Unfortunately, Lily was standing next to Nanaya at that time.
Not only did Lily keep an eye on Nanaya, she even secretly turned on a recorder.
So Nanaya could only get away with saying "let's talk about it later".
As for whether Lily, or Shion behind Lily, would hear other meanings, Nanaya couldn't care less.
Chinese is profound and extensive, so it is very normal for a sentence to have multiple interpretations.
Even if Shion asked about it in the future, Nanaya would say that what he said was only the first level of meaning, and it was you who thought of the second level.
As for Gao Chang Gong, Nanaya originally wanted to send him to the Trier branch.
But everyone already knew that Gao Chang Gong was a man, and throwing him to Trier would likely expose the secret of Astolfo's gender.
So Nanaya gave up this idea.
It's quite magical to say, even though Astolfo has never concealed his gender.
But until now, all the fans of [Trier] have not realized that this person's gender is not female.
On the contrary, fans think that this idol with long pink hair is an innocent, cute and energetic beautiful girl.
So more and more fans are asking Astolfo to join the official Trier team.
[Trier] Of course, the operations side cannot agree to such a request.
They can only fool fans by saying that Astolfo is the main force of the branch group and the branch group has no meaning to exist without him.
But because of this, many fans think that Astolfo has been treated unfairly.
In order to ensure that their idol gets the treatment he deserves, fans are doing their best to support Astolfo.
There were even two handshake sessions where Astolfo was able to complete the whole process even earlier than Lily.
In response to this, the members of [Trier] began to call the guy whose gender column was [? ? ] by the nickname [Hongyan no Bishounen].
In addition to the three familiar faces, Nanaya also saw many other interesting actors.
For example, there is a young girl who graduated from a Yue Opera and Variety Show class. She has solid basic skills and her own characteristics.
At a time when Chinese opera is relatively declining, there are still girls willing to learn it so seriously, which touched Nanaya deeply.
Although this little girl is willing to learn Yue Opera, it is more because of her family tradition.
But these days, it's good enough if young people are willing to learn.
In fact, Nanaya has a very deep feeling for traditional folk art.
Even though he knew that the decline of Chinese opera was inevitable, when he saw this little girl, he still wanted to help her.
I can only say that as a director, I always have a relatively literary heart.
You should know that Hong Kong director Wang Pangzi, who is famous for his shit, piss and fart, is very passionate about art films and has even taken the initiative to invest in several art films.
In fact, for Nanaya, doing this kind of thing has nothing to do with whether he is an out-and-out businessman.
This is more of a rich man paying for his own interests.
Therefore, this little girl named Mu Bing became the only Chinese member to join [Trier] this time, in addition to Xiao Jie Mo and Qin Jue.
It's just that she didn't go to the main group, but to the secondary group.
Nanaya also knew that this little girl's audience was relatively small, so he let her start as a deputy group leader.
However, in the movie "The Great Qin Empire", Nanaya still gave her a role with quite a lot of screen time - Jing Ke.
After all, this character is a key character that drives the development of the story.
The first emperor's two changes in attitude towards Chaldea were both related to Jing Ke.
Including the first time they fell out and the second time Jing Ke assassinated him.
Although Jing Ke's actions seemed like child's play in terms of results.
But it was precisely because she showed the First Emperor the possibility of human self-development that the First Emperor re-examined his behavior and made changes.
Jing Ke's appearance features red eyeshadow that has a very strong Chinese opera flavor.
This is why Nanaya thought of asking this young girl with a background in opera to play the role of Jing Ke.
Chinese audiences pay great attention to form, so having an actor with an opera background play such a role would definitely be a very good publicity point.
On the other hand, Nanaya chose an actor with a background in opera to play Jing Ke, which can be regarded as Nanaya's way of dealing with the feminization of this character in Type-Moon.
Nanaya intends to blur the gender of Jing Ke and another Nezha character.
He will have Jing Ke and Nezha played by female actors, but the gender of these two characters will not be mentioned in the story.
Nezha is easier to deal with.
Except for a few versions such as Duan Yu and Mr. Wang, the husband of Miss Ma Jinlian, Nezha is played by boys.
In most other film and television works, Nezha is basically played by women.
This is especially true of the 1986 version of "Journey to the West", which is regarded as a classic by Chinese audiences.
Therefore, as long as Nanaya does not deliberately reveal the character's gender and slightly modifies Nezha's costume to make it more traditional.
Basically, few Chinese audiences would have any objection to this.
But Jing Ke is different. Even now, Nanaya still remembers the uproar caused when a female version of Jing Ke was implemented in a mobile game in his previous life.
I'm not talking about FGO, but the MOBA type.
Nanaya doesn't want to be accused of distorting history and be boycotted by the Chinese audience.
Not to mention that Nanaya only has a few feminine Fate characters in his hands now.
Even fans of Fate have not gotten used to the trend of feminizing historical figures.
Of course, Artoria is an exception.
After all, Artoria, who is loved by everyone, must have privileges.
However, if the theatrical flavor of this character is strengthened, it can be used as a representative of Chinese opera culture in the movie.
Nanaya believes that this will make the audience more receptive.
Although all opera singers in ancient China were men, even female roles were sung by men.
Mr. Lu Xun, the creator of famous online quotes, also made a special comment on this matter.
However, starting from the Republic of China, female folk artists began to emerge.
With the development of opera, the number of women on stage began to increase, and they even became the main force in the opera world.
In modern times, many people even believe that singing opera should be a woman's job.
In such an environment, it would not seem strange to have some actresses play male roles in costume dramas.
The most typical example is "Legend of White Snake".
But even so, not all roles can be played by women.
It would be simple if it were really like that, but the problem is that it is impossible to use a female actor to play the role of the First Emperor.
The character of the First Emperor almost worried Nanaya to death.
Nanaya tried to interview several young actors, but it was difficult for them to portray the emperor's majestic aura.
But if middle-aged actors are used, it will feel too old.
The First Emperor was a well-known patient suffering from fear of aging. His obsession in the pursuit of immortality was among the best in the two thousand years of history of emperors of China.
When such a person reshapes his or her body, his or her appearance will definitely not be middle-aged.
Therefore, if you choose a middle-aged and stable actor, then the age issue will become a problem.
Even when Nanaya returned to the United States from China, he was still worried about this matter.
Finally, Nanaya saw Downey at a Marvel Cinematic Universe seminar and came up with a solution.
"Can you please repeat your request?"
Roger Gate, the former special effects artist of Light & Magic Industries and special effects director of the FGO series, looked at his boss in surprise.
Nanaya said seriously, "Roger, I need to make the actors look younger through CG processing. Can your team do it?"
"How much younger do you want to be?"
"From middle age to youth." Nanaya said after thinking for a while.
Roger Gate touched his bald head which looked like an oval, and said with embarrassment: "No one has ever considered this kind of thing. I can only say that we should try our best. Let my team try it for a month."
Nanaya was not very satisfied with this answer, but he could only wait.
Fortunately, I don't have to wait around for these seven nights of this month.
The annual San Diego Comic-Con is here, and he will go to San Diego to attend the live press conference.
