Chapter 389: Buying Characters
It has always been the director's right to set actors, and if the producer and investor say that one or two people are shoehorned in, then there is no problem, just arrange a supporting role. But in the crew of [People in Embarrassment], this is Director Ye Ming's concurrently producer, so a phone call like Huang Xu is a bit of a bully.
Ye Ming said unceremoniously: "The actors recommended by Producer Huang naturally said that they can try it, our crew just has a few supporting roles to wave to the society, you just let them audition for the crew tomorrow afternoon." I'll take care of it appropriately. β
If you refuse directly, it is a little inappropriate, but if you accept these people, then if Huang Xu speaks inch-wise in the future, Ye Ming, the director, will not have to do it.
Therefore, at such a time, Ye Ming also unceremoniously asked Huang Xi's people to participate in the audition.
The meaning is naturally very obvious, one is that your people also want to audition, and I will use the acting skills, and the garbage should go back to wherever it goes.
Huang Xu was a little annoyed at this time: "Director Ye, I mean that you arrange it directly, and you have to arrange the right role, don't you understand what I mean?"
What does the suitable role mean, this is naturally very obvious, it must be an important supporting role, if it is not important, then how can it appear that Huang Xu's face is produced in such a situation.
Huang Xu also expected that Ye Ming would never be given this face, after all, he was a producer sent by the film studio, and as long as he didn't sign it, the movie would not be over. In the future, Ye Ming begged for more places for himself, so at this time. In fact, Huang Xu didn't expect Ye Ming to refuse so simply.
And at this time, Ye Ming repeated and said: "My meaning is very clear, Tong guΓ² audition." It became a stay, and it was not what to do. Produced by Wong. Your film studio has already recommended a person, don't challenge my patience. β
After speaking, Ye Ming hung up the phone unceremoniously, not giving Huang Xu, the producer, face at all. Huang Xu was so angry that he easily dropped his purple sand teacup, this Ye Ming, I don't know how to lift at all, since I mean that you are the first year of junior high school. Then I'll do fifteen and let you know how powerful I am Huang Xu. But at this time, seeing the broken purple sand teacup on the ground, Huang Xi was also a little distressed at this time, this is a serious Yixing purple sand, an old object in Guangxu years, with him for seven or eight years, just like an old friend, I didn't expect that today I was directly broken by myself, which damn Ye Ming provoked it.
But at this time, Huang Xu calmed down the mood of vaguely scattering the camera, and the things that should be done still have to be done. I received everyone's money, so I had to pick up the phone and dial a number: "Liu Wenju." It's me, I've already done what you asked me to do, tomorrow you take your classmates to [People in Embarrassment] audition, by the way, let Nie Jingjing come to me tonight for a discount, I have some things to pay attention to to her. β
At this time, there was a young and handsome boy on the other end of the phone, who knew at a glance that he looked like a college graduate, with no social experience, and at this moment he heard that he was going to audition. Suddenly a little unhappy: "Producer Huang, we said okay." For a thousand dollars, you guarantee that we can have a supporting role in [People in Embarrassment]. We're smashing the pot and selling iron, and we're sending you the money. Now you're saying that it's us who oppress the audition, doesn't that mean it's still possible for us to be brushed off?"
If you want to play a role in a movie, it must be related, if it doesn't matter, it costs money, for example, Ye Ming's opportunity to audition for [Huanzhu Gege] can be said to be bought back with money.
Therefore, in such a situation, each character can be said to be clearly priced, how much does it cost to be able to show his face in front of the camera, how much does it cost to have lines, how much does it cost to have big and small special features, and even how much does it cost to say that there are different supporting roles, which have a certain clear price.
For example, if you can show your face on the movie lens, it is generally thirty or fifty yuan, after buying the relationship, even if it is a group performance, you will be taken care of by the camera, and there are certain positive shots, if there are lines, then I'm sorry, the minimum is two hundred. In the case of supporting roles, the price will be determined according to the important Cheng dΓΉ. But no matter what, 1,000 yuan is actually quite a good price. The average student can't afford such a price.
But Liu Wenju gritted his teeth and admitted such a price in order to be able to star in "People in Embarrassment". Huang Xu suddenly became angry, Ye Ming, this guy dared not to put me in his eyes, but you, a little newcomer, also dared to be presumptuous to me, too bold.
At that moment, Huang Xu was furious, and said loudly: "Liu Wenju, you dare to talk to me with this Yangtze crocodile, what kind of thing are you, a thousand yuan, how much do you think, you think you can buy a suitable supporting role, I just said to give you a chance for the sake of your students."
If you want it, you want it, and if you don't want it, you pull it down. There are more people who are willing to ask for it. β
Ye Ming is the Golden Horse actor, and the people who want to get such a chance are not inferior to a few of you. Even this audition is limited. β
Hearing Huang Xu's anger, Liu Wenju immediately wilted, drooped his head like a frosted eggplant and said, "Producer Huang, don't be angry, I didn't mean that, you have a lot of γγγγγγγ β
Huang Xu threw down a sentence: "Love to go or not to pull down." Then he hung up the phone. The 1,000 yuan bought is just an opportunity to audition, which is not good news for Liu Wenju, he told his classmates about such a thing, and with himself, the young man who bought the role was a fat man, and he was also Liu Wenju's sworn friend Han Fei, and the other young and beautiful beauty was Nie Jingjing.
Han Fei was an anxious person, and after hearing Huang Xu's words, he immediately slapped the table and said, "Huang Xu, this old bastard, is also too deceitful, and the good thing he said was actually just an opportunity to audition, no, I have to go to that bastard and ask him to return the money to us." β
Nie Jingjing immediately glared at Han Fei fiercely and said, "Fat man, shut up for me, things are not as simple as you imagined, the rules in the circle, the money sent out, is it possible to get it back?" This is the intermediary fee, can't you see it? β
It doesn't matter if it's an intermediary fee, or it's a stepping stone, anyway, it's always impossible to get back the money given at such a time. Although Nie Jingjing has just graduated, she has also seen too much deceit. Therefore, he is no stranger to Huang Xu's backsliding, and Huang Xu's ability to give the three of them a chance is already more righteous in the circle.
If Huang Xu didn't even give them the opportunity to audition, it would be real bad luck. In fact, I spent money to buy a role, and in the end, I didn't even have a few chances to audition.
This is only a tooth that I have knocked out and swallowed it in my stomach. On such a question, Zhou Jingjing's understanding is the most direct confession.
Han Fei also understood this, and after Nie Jingjing's persuasion, the whole person's anger began to slowly calm down.
He sat down slowly and said, "Then we are too unlucky, just this thousand yuan is just an opportunity to audition?"
Liu Wenju shook his head helplessly, the cruel reality, he couldn't do anything about such a problem: "Jingjing, this old fox asked you to go at night, saying that he was inviting you to dinner, I think he probably didn't have any good intentions, so you better not go." β
Nie Jingjing naturally said that she knew Huang Xu's thoughts, and men with a little power in the crew would have such and such ideas, but Nie Jingjing thought that it was not worth wasting the opportunity on a villain like Huang Xu who had no responsibility.
After thinking about it, she still said worriedly: "If I don't go, will Producer Huang find an opportunity to retaliate against us in the future." You must know that he is the producer of [People in Embarrassment], if he is hated by such a person, then on such a problem, we still can't get out of the control of Producer Huang, so I'm still a little worried. β
Liu Wenju said with some disdain: "These are not big deals, Producer Huang made his own mistake first, obviously saying that he would arrange some important supporting roles for us, but at such a time, he used an audition quota to fool himself." Let's not go, once we pass the audition, then they will all be Ye Ming's soldiers, and at that time, if Producer Huang wants to move us, we have to weigh it. β
The unspoken rule is not that there is only money, there is also a beauty transaction, in fact, Huang Xu is also salivating for Nie Jingjing, but he is not in a hurry, Nie Jingjing is sloppy about his refusal, but he just wants to get benefits, and when Nie Jingjing hits the wall, it will naturally mean that he knows how cruel this circle is.
At that time, Huang Xu thought that Nie Jingjing would still beg for himself obediently.
The status quo of survival of low-level actors is so cruel, and college students who have just walked out of the school gate will not appreciate the cruelty in it. Liu Wenju and the others decided that since they went to audition, they would definitely be selected, and when the time came, they would embark on the road of acting, become popular, and then clean up villains like Huang Xu.
Three young students, three passionate ambitions. (To be continued)
