Chapter XVII: The Preface is in the Ear
It's another evil thing!
Urgently recalling, Peng Xiangming is sure that first of all, this is definitely not Huafang Tiandu, and secondly, Huafang Tiandu's office is far away from here!
So how did An Minzhi end up here?
She seemed a little stunned when she saw that the person who came in was herself, so this shouldn't be her arrangement.
I was taken aback, and I thought that I had deliberately made arrangements to call myself here, just to lose face and let myself experience the "pain of being directly deprived of opportunities", and laid out the game!
At this point, his mind settled for a moment, and when he looked again, he quickly discovered the real main character in the conference room.
It was a man who looked to be about thirty years old, with a mediocre appearance, a flat head, and a feeling that the whole person was thin and small, but he was clearly sitting on the main seat, and at this time, his eyes were overflowing with an indescribable brilliance, staring at himself, looking overjoyed.
All kinds of thoughts flashed in his mind, Peng Xiangming didn't mean to glance at An Minzhi again, he stood neatly in front of the conference table, nodded lightly at everyone, and smiled, "Hello teachers, my name is Peng Xiangming, a student of the directing department of Yenching Film Academy, and I am a junior this year." I'm going to audition...... Uh......"
Oops, after all, I didn't pay much attention to it, and I didn't remember the name of the character, "...... Male number three. "It can't just be stuck here, so he finally held back such a sentence.
No one else spoke, and the guy who took his resume was immersed in reading it, but it was the little man who was sitting in the main seat, and said with a smile, "Liu Yinping! The character is called Liu Yinping!"
"Strange, where did Liu Mi get my resume? Where did I get my ID photo?"
As soon as he thought of his resume, he couldn't help but think of this, he must interrogate her well when he goes back, but at this time, he must deal with the scene in front of him first-Peng Xiangming smiled embarrassedly and nodded, "I'm sorry, I'm a little nervous." I didn't think about acting, my classmates had to recommend me, so I'll try it!"
The little man was still smiling and said, "Try the lines!"
At this time, the person in charge of reviewing his resume heard this, immediately put down his resume, picked up a piece of A4 paper from the stack of A4 paper in his hand, and was about to get up and hand it over, but the little man suddenly said: "Let him try Lu Jiansheng!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
Peng Xiangming didn't know who Liu Yinping was and who Lu Jiansheng was, taking advantage of this moment, he felt that everyone's attention was not on him, and he couldn't help but glance at An Minzhi's side.
She was a little stunned, but at this time, she sensed Peng Xiangming's eyes and immediately looked at it.
The four eyes met, and her eyes were complicated and inexplicable.
The two quickly looked away in tacit agreement - Peng Xiangming knew that this audition should be in vain, and there was hatred in her eyes. So the phrase suddenly came back to my mind, "In the circle I can cover, I promise, you won't get any chance!"
Well, if you can't get it, you can't get it, and I never thought about filming.
But I don't know why, I still subconsciously glanced at her again.
It's so white!
Like the glaze on the finest ceramics.
When illuminated by the ceiling light, it seems to glow.
She seemed to notice her gaze, and immediately looked over, Peng Xiangming raised his head, and the eyes of the two sides completed the second confrontation between the lightning and the fire.
Her eyes were cold.
The staff member handed over an A4 piece of paper with a line on it.
At this time, the little man spoke again, and completely confirmed his dominant position in Peng Xiangming's heart, "This character is sometimes a little lazy, but he is particularly backbone at critical times, you understand?"
Peng Xiangming glanced up at him, a little surprised, but still smiled and nodded, "Understood." ”
Looking down at the lines, the more I look at it, the more wrong it becomes—isn't it an urban drama?
A short synopsis of the story was given on the line paper, and the hero's brother died in battle.
Nima!
After reading the lines carefully, he quickly had his own judgment in his heart, this must be a martial arts or Xianxia drama - his mind turned nine times, and he subconsciously took out the seriousness of standing up and analyzing the lines after being named in class, and read the lines again.
It's not very complicated, one or two hundred words, and it doesn't need to be played by others.
Reciting all the words word by word, he can't do it for the time being, but it means that it must be smooth.
After only about three or five minutes, he looked up, smiled, and said, "Can I start?"
The little man stretched out his hand, "Come on!"
Peng Xiangming put away the line paper, pinched it in his hand, took a deep breath, then lowered his head, looked at one leg of the conference table with deep eyes, and after a while, said: "Senior brother told me yesterday ......" He smiled, sad and nostalgic, turned his head, looked at the corner of the conference room, and felt that he was a little too exaggerated after doing this action, but he still maintained his absolute spiritual devotion, "He said that he had never done anything bad in his life, but he only felt a little sorry for Senior Sister Ming." He said......"
Lowered his head again, "He said that when this scene was done, he decided to make a statement to his uncle, and he wanted to go into seclusion with Senior Sister Ming, and never interfere with the disturbances outside." ”
That's all for the lines, but it's actually quite awkward, it's obviously a small part of a long dialogue, and now it's just a little bit, obviously not in front of the village and not in the store.
But people just take these exams, and there's nothing to worry about. Peng Xiangming finished speaking, restrained his expression, nodded at a few people in the conference room, and smiled, "Thank you, teacher, I'm done performing." ”
The line paper was handed back, and he turned back to meet the little man's gaze.
He asked, "Can you do it again?"
Peng Xiangming was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, "Of course you can." ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then the little man said to the staff, "Give him the A3 one!"
The staff flipped through it for a moment, picked up a piece of paper, got up and handed it over.
Peng Xiangming vaguely felt that the matter was a bit big, but he still took it and secretly glanced at An Minzhi's side - after a glance, she didn't see it too clearly, and she felt that her facial features were about to freeze, and her face was like ice.
Open the line paper and write on it-
[Lu Jiansheng knelt on his left knee, his clothes were torn, covered in blood, he couldn't help but gasp, but the corners of his mouth always had a touch of high-spirited fighting intent at the corner of his mouth, "There are more people who want to kill Lao Tzu, how old are you!"
Qin Yuchuan said angrily: "I'm still hard-mouthed when I'm dying! I only ask you, is my sister's innocence tainted by you! If you're brave enough to say no!"
Lu Jiansheng opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, "Phew! Of course not! You talk a lot of nonsense, if you want to fight, you can come! Where did you come from with all this nonsense! Kill me, whatever you want to splash dirty water, you can't kill it, isn't it a bunch of nonsense!"
Qin Yuchuan was furious and pinched a trick, "Okay! Okay! Very good! I'm here to take your dog's life!"
This one...... This is definitely a fairy, it's all magical!
He silently browsed many times and carefully sorted out the emotions in the lines - although he really felt that he was not good at acting, but the major of directing was originally taught miscellaneous, basic acting theory and even line classes, all of which were to be taken, and in the past three years, it can be regarded as a small accumulation, plus although he has never acted, he has really seen similar dialogues in movies and TV series in his last life, and he is not unfamiliar at all.
So he memorized the lines, and after a moment of contemplation, he raised his head again.
Without waiting for him to speak, the little man actually stood up and took the initiative to say, "I'll help you play!"
............
It was supposed to be over in ten minutes, but Peng Xiangming stayed in the small conference room for half an hour before opening the door and coming out.
Liu Mi was already waiting a little anxiously, and when he heard the door ringing, he stood up as soon as he heard it, glanced behind him, and saw that he had closed the door again, so he asked in a low voice, "Why is it so long?"
Peng Xiangming shrugged, "How do I know! I tried one paragraph after another, and let me try three scenes in total! You know my level, I don't know how to act at all, and I'm still panicking!"
Liu Mi's eyes turned, and his face turned with joy, "It's a good thing, if you don't feel good, it's definitely over in one paragraph, and if you try three paragraphs in a row, it means that the director may be a little hesitant in his heart, but this hesitation is not a bad thing, you must have a deep impression in his heart, and the chance of winning it has greatly improved!"
Peng Xiangming waved his hand, "It doesn't matter! I don't have any hope anyway, if I am really selected, I will be worried, because I can't act at all...... Let's go, I have to count on you to send me back!"
Liu Mi grinned, "I will definitely be chosen! Nothing will not, you are so smart, you will definitely get started as soon as you act!" She was really happy, leaned over, and naturally hugged Peng Xiangming's arm with both hands.
Peng Xiangming's footsteps stiffened slightly.
But he quickly thought of the point, "Hey, by the way, where did you get my resume? And what's the matter with my ID photo? I have a bit of an impression that I took it when I was a freshman, right? Why do you have it?"
Liu Mi smiled embarrassedly, a little unreasonable, his arm didn't let go, but hugged it tighter, "I have a USB flash drive from you at that time, before I give it back to you, I made a copy of the photo, and the resume is easier, isn't it just information, just fill in the form and print it out!"
This statement is really possible.
But others have their own ID photos in their hands, as well as a full set of resumes, no matter how they think about it, in case she blindly delivers it to herself, it is also very annoying, "You can't do this! You go back and return all my photos to me, and the electronic version has to be deleted!"
Unexpectedly, such a logical and absolutely defensible thing, Liu Mi was immediately furious and let go of his arm, "Why! What is in my computer, why do you say that I have to delete it!"
Instead, she was right, "That's mine!"
Peng Xiangming opened his mouth and stammered, and immediately became furious, considering that this was still in the human company, he suppressed his voice, "That's my portrait right! Why is it yours? Am I also yours?"
Unexpectedly, the girl continued to be righteous, "Of course!"
At this moment, Peng Xiangming was dumbfounded, and he felt a sense of helplessness in his heart that he was "incapable of tearing up with this crazy girl".
The girl quickly reached over and took his arm again, rejoicing.
Entering the elevator, she asked, "Hey, what did you try in these three sections?"
That's a serious deal!
As soon as he entered the conference room, Peng Xiangming felt that the little man's eyes were glowing when he saw him, and at this time he hurriedly asked, Liu Mi couldn't care about his own questions, and said at that time: "You don't know him? Ning Xiaocheng! "A Sword Light and Cold Nineteen States" was directed by him! It's quite popular, but it's too abusive...... You haven't seen it?"
Peng Xiangming suddenly realized.
He really hasn't paid much attention to TV dramas in the past two years, especially domestic ones, and he has watched less - film school, or the director department, no matter what happened before entering the school, after entering the school, he was inevitably affected by a lot of school spirit. In the eyes of the film school, movies are art, and TV dramas have nothing to do with art at all. In academic teaching, I have never watched TV dramas.
But "One Sword Light Cold Nineteen States" is really quite popular, and when it was on the air the year before last, it once caused a lot of heated discussions on the Internet, even if you haven't seen it, you are familiar with it. Even the name Ning Xiaocheng has an impression.
With his mind racing, he asked, "Didn't you say it was an urban emotional drama before, and what role did you play?"
Liu Mi was surprised, "yes! Urban emotional drama! uh...... My role, in fact, I got a small script when I auditioned, which probably means that my character likes the male lead, but the male protagonist doesn't like her ruthlessness, so ...... Bitter love, as for the plot before and after, I don't know much about it, but the lines are indeed urban style, plus Sister Mei tried to help me find out the news, I heard that Ning Xiaoping had a falling out with his company, so I want to transform into an urban drama, I should not have run away!"
After saying that, the girl looked at him, "What's the matter?"
Peng Xiangming's expression was amazing, "Are we trying the same drama?" he couldn't help asking, and then hurriedly said, "What Lu Jiansheng, what Liu Yinping, what Qin Yuchuan...... Can this be the name of a character in an urban drama?" Thinking of his own lines, and then thinking of Ning Xiaoping as a master of Xianxia dramas, this answer is actually not difficult to come up with - in turn, all the auditioners, including their powerful agents, may be kept in the dark. They all think that this will be an urban emotional drama transformed by Ning Xiaoping.
But why did he do it?
Liu Mi was also a little confused, "Ah, Lu Jiansheng, Qin Yuchuan, you tried three roles?"
I couldn't explain it to her for the time being, but Peng Xiangming had already seen her car, so he said, "Let's go, you send me back first." I kid you not, I'm so busy!"
"Cut!"
He muttered again, "What a cow!"
............
"I don't agree!
At the same time, in the small conference room where Peng Xiangming had just finished the audition, An Minzhi raised her objection very seriously - although she knew that her words might not even have a reference value for Ning Xiaoping, who was added by the director and producer, but she still said so.
Today is purely an accident, she is just as the deputy director of art, on behalf of Hua Fangtian to come to have a meeting, this project is not led by Hua Fangtian at all, their company even only accounts for 15% of the investment, just co-investment, temporary plus a role interview, it is an emergency in the middle of the meeting.
So when she saw that the person who walked in to participate in the audition was actually Peng Xiangming, she was a little surprised at first, of course, and then she made up her mind - if this is a play that she can interfere in, she can consider grabbing him in the palm of her hand and cleaning it up well, but in this play, she obviously can't get into it.
So he must be killed!
The preface is still in my ears, and the cruel words cannot be put in vain, not to mention that he has humiliated himself like that.
You can't let him slap yourself in the face the first time!
And she believes that although her side is not the leader of this play, considering that her side has always been a staunch supporter of Ning Xiaoping, if she suddenly exerts her strength in this matter, presumably Ning Xiaoping will not have to sell this face, so it should be possible for her to ask for Peng Xiangming's audition.
But before she could figure out how to find an excuse to kill her, the subsequent development of the matter was quickly beyond her control.
Ning Xiaoping actually asked him to try the actor's play as soon as he came up!
And it's three stages when you try it!
Although they have only met in the last few months, with their own understanding of Ning Xiaoping, where can An Minzhi not see that he is extremely satisfied with this Peng Xiangming?
The image is excellent, the temperament is tough, and the heroic spirit is vigorous.
Every word and deed, every move, every stop and stop, he has an inexplicably powerful male aura on his body.
Although the acting skills can be seen at a glance to be very jerky, the plus points for this image are too great.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have liked it as soon as we met.
"Oh, risky?"
Ning Xiaoping turned his head to look at her, his expression was as calm as ever.
An Minzhi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but he still argued with reason, "His performance is too poor, his skills are poor at a glance, and he studied directing, not acting, and he has no acting experience before, in this regard, I think it is too risky to use a person like him to play the leading role!"
Ning Xiaoping nodded, noncommittal, his eyes turned around the people in the small conference room, and asked, "Does anyone else have any different opinions?"
The people who came to this meeting today are all members of the crew preparatory meeting.
Representatives of the two companies respectively represent the Oriental Tianlan Film and Television Culture Communication Company, which is the main control investment, and Huafang Tiandu Film and Television Company, which has invested 15%, an assistant director who has followed him for many years, and his assistant.
The assistant director and assistant will undoubtedly take his lead and will not have any opinions.
But at this time, Luo Yi, the president of Dongfang Tianlan, still said: "The Du Xiaoming I chose before, I think the image is very good, and it is also a little famous, and it has already notified others, but it is only about to sign a contract at the end, and this suddenly gave the actor another hand, isn't it very good......? I mean, you're thinking about it?"
Ning Xiaoping thought about it, shook his head, and said in a resolute tone, "Don't think about it, the first time I saw him, I knew that no one could be more suitable than him! It doesn't matter if the acting skills are not good, I can teach him by hand!"
After a pause, he said: "Du Xiaoming can play Liu Yinping!"
An Minzhi opened his mouth.
Luo Yi nodded slowly, "If you are so optimistic, then I have no problem, I still say the same thing, we Dongfang Tianlan absolutely trust you!"
Ning Xiaoping thanked him with a smile and turned his head to look at An Minzhi.
An Minzhi opened his mouth again, but he inexplicably felt bitter in his mouth, and he couldn't open his mouth.
Everyone in the circle knows that although Ning Xiaoping is an absolute good screenwriter and director, there is only one person, and he likes to be arbitrary when he does things - whether it is his insistence on art, or the domineering in his character, anyway, if he wants to do that, no one can stop him.
The result of the blockade is ...... Split up and become enemies with each other.
He had been cooperating with his old club for six years, why did he cooperate so well? Isn't it because that company always wants to control him?
Why does this drama use the guise of transformation to say that it is going to shoot an urban emotional drama to select people in a low-key manner? And why does he want to introduce multiple partners in a drama to divide everyone's right to speak?
To put it bluntly, it is to lower the industry's expectations for him, and resolutely oppose various film and television companies and brokerage companies to stuff related accounts into his plays!
But he's qualified to do it!
Maybe it didn't work before, but the year before last, a "One Sword Light Cold Nineteen States" brought him a lot of confidence - hundreds of thousands of people on the "Little Red Flower" website scored, and it is still stuck at 9.0 points, which is a rare high-rated and high-reputation domestic drama, although the Internet has been shouting too abusive, but the second, third and fourth rounds have been sold at a very good price, and what's more, this drama has been in the top 20 on demand on video websites so far.
According to inaccurate news, the investment of 60 million yuan in that drama has brought at least 300 million net profits to the producer so far—— return on investment of more than 500%!
His new drama is going to shoot a Xianxia drama, no matter who he contacts, everyone will go to the pole and send him money!
His leather bag company doesn't pay a penny, only with the script and the director's salary, it directly accounts for 15% of the shares, and in order to get the 15% shares, his own Hua Fangtian has paid 18 million in full!
With his current status, a drama of 120 million, he has the power and confidence to act arbitrarily without asking anyone's opinion - even if he has an opinion, he can only reserve his opinion and continue to support him!
If you're not satisfied, he can kick you out at any time!
He's the copyright owner, he's the co-sponsor, and he's the first producer of the crew!
But...... The first time, the cruel words that I let go of before have not had time to be realized once, so do you want to let that bastard succeed in front of him and step on his own face?
Or win the actor of Ning Xiaoping's new play!
A character with a high probability of becoming popular overnight!
An Minzhi lowered his head, paused for a moment, raised his head, and smiled, "Since Director Ning is so optimistic, and Mr. Luo has no opinion, then of course we are no problem with Huafang Tiandu!"
Ning Xiaocheng smiled, patted the table and stood up, "Then it's decided!"
