Wang Yutao didn't waste any time and contacted Liu Ling personally on the same day.

Since Wang Yutao is the director of "Do You Know", he has Liu Ling's personal contact information and can be contacted without going through an agent.

After a preliminary chat, Liu Ling was very interested when she heard it was a drama about Ark Culture, and she immediately agreed.

Wang Yutao told her not to worry and read the script first. If she felt the script was suitable, she would come to the company to discuss the contract.

After the chat, I sent the script.

In addition to Liu Ling, there is also Xu Zhiwen, a professor at the film school.

Fang Xing called him personally and planned to find him to play the father of "Zhu Chaoyang".

The two worked together on "Hurry Up" a few years ago, and have remained on good terms ever since.

When Fang Xing was casting for many projects, Xu Zhiwen helped recommend actors. After all, professors at the film school know many actors. When they see the role introduction, they will know which students can play the role, and they will be sure to recommend each one.

By contacting the actors you have worked with, you can finalize part of the role, and the rest of the audition work will be much easier.

In order to find suitable actors for "Zhu Chaoyang", Ark Culture launched various channels to invite young actors to audition.

Actors at the age of 13 have basically no acting experience and no time to learn acting, so it is difficult for them to show off their acting skills.

Basically, we are looking for young people with acting talent.

Since it is a new drama from Ark Culture, although Fang Xing did not direct it himself, Fang Xing's name was listed as the producer, and during the casting process, Fang Xing auditioned in person.

In the film and television industry, this means that this drama will become popular.

Therefore, people from major entertainment companies recommend their artists, hoping to join the crew of "The Hidden Corner".

Among them, the candidate who plays the role of "Zhu Chaoyang" is the most recommended.

Because "Zhu Chaoyang" is the male protagonist.

The 13-year-old male protagonist.

If a trainee trained by any entertainment company was cast in Fang Xing's drama at the age of 13, then the premise could only be said to be too bright.

For entertainment companies, it's like planting a cash cow.

In the entertainment industry, where are the most 13-year-old artists?

Apart from child stars, it is indeed the entertainment companies that specialize in cultivating idols the most.

An entertainment company that specializes in operating idol groups, looking for trainees starting when they are around 10 years old.

Moreover, most of the trainees at this age are boys.

Because there is a very fierce fighting group in the rice circle called mom fans.

Most of this group are already working, have money, and are willing to spend money.

And mom fans are much more loyal than girlfriend fans.

There is a popular saying in the rice circle, husbands can change every day, but sons will always be sons.

Therefore, mom fans are very loyal, have money and are willing to spend it.

Many entertainment companies that operate idol groups have already understood this rule. They find a group of boys from primary school students as trainees and debut at the age of twelve or thirteen.

Just imagine it and you will know that a mother fan watches her "son" grow up from a boy to a dazzling star. This sense of accomplishment arises spontaneously and her loyalty can last for more than ten years, or even decades.

Therefore, many entertainment companies have trainees who are twelve or thirteen years old.

After "The Hidden Corner" issued an audition request for "Zhu Chaoyang", these entertainment companies all pushed over their trainees who were around thirteen years old.

After sorting out these resumes, Wang Yutao personally took them to Fang Xing's office.

"Director Fang, for the casting of 'Zhu Chaoyang', we have received a batch of resumes. Can you take a look?"

"Let's take a look." Fang Xing reached out to take it, opened the first resume, and saw a boy with red lips and white teeth.

Just by looking at the photo, you can tell that the style is cultivated in the direction of an idol.

After taking a look at the recommended company, it turns out that it is a company that specializes in operating idol groups.

"Some companies also sent videos to the crew group."

As Wang Yutao spoke, he took out his tablet, clicked on a video, played it and watched it together.

In the video.

A boy of 12 or 13 years old put on makeup and danced in front of the camera. After dancing, he began to introduce himself: "Hello director, my name is Teng Zixuan. I am the facade and dance leader of the troupe. I also have a

My nickname is Wanzi because my face can be clenched into a ball."

After saying that, he pinched one cheek into a ball shape with his hands.

Fang Xing's eyes widened after reading this. He was only twelve or thirteen years old, but he was already so greasy.

Moreover, this state comes from the inside out. It would probably be difficult for him to play a young junior high school student.

Because at this age, there is no acting skills at all. Basically, you have to find someone who is true to his character. If he is not in his usual state, if he wants to show the state in the drama, this is what the acting school should do.

"Are all resumes like this?" Fang Xing was very dissatisfied with the first video.

Wang Yutao spread his hands and said: "There are very few actors of this age. Many of the ones recommended are trainees of idol companies. We can only see if there are any that can be used."

Fang Xing frowned and said, "What we are looking for is an ordinary junior high school student, preferably one who looks like a good student, and preferably someone who looks like a top student."

Fang Xing scrolled down while talking and found that these resumes did not look "ordinary".

However, you cannot take one look at your resume and make an immediate judgment.
