Chapter 207: I can give you a spot
Six years of ensemble performances.
Hong Chen has been a group performer, and he has also been in contact with many group performers for more than ten or even twenty years.
At this stage, these group performers have basically given up their dreams of becoming an instant hit, and at most they rely on this industry to make a living.
Hong Chen glanced at Zheng Xu, Zheng Xu's appearance is acceptable, his skin is a little dark, not like a typical image of little fresh meat in the entertainment industry, but a bit of a tough guy style.
Hong Chen thought the booklet was very interesting, only 100 yuan. For him now, 100 yuan is really nothing.
"I bought this cheat. Hong Chen said with a smile.
Then, Hong Chen took out his mobile phone and transferred 100 to Zheng Xu, took the booklet and asked, "Do you participate in this audition?"
"I thought, I don't have a chance. Zheng Xu shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "This opportunity is really good, Director Yan is a director who really looks at the strength of actors, but unfortunately it is only for young actors in entertainment companies, and I can't get an audition place at all." ”
Zheng Xu looked at the young people who auditioned, and his eyes were full of envy.
In this industry, opportunities are too important.
I have been adrift in Kyoto Film and Television City for six years, and I have not waited for an opportunity like Baoqiang.
Director Yan: It turned out that Yan Chi was here to audition. Hong Chen thought to himself.
"Can I give you a place, are you interested?" Suddenly, Hong Chen said to Zheng Xu with a smile.
It's just an audition spot, and it's good to give someone a chance. Whether he can succeed after that depends on himself.
Zheng Xu seemed to think that Hong Chen was joking, and replied casually: "You give me a quota? Do you think you are Director Yan? If you can really give it, then of course I am interested." ”
"Okay, you wait a minute. At this time, Hong Chen saw that the company's reception staff was outside to receive those auditioning actors, so he took off his mask and walked over.
"Boss!" The receptionist saw Hong Chen and immediately greeted him respectfully.
"See that buddy? Add him to the audition. Hong Chen pointed at Zheng Xu at the reception staff, and then walked straight into the studio building, ignoring everything that happened outside.
When the people around saw Hong Chen appear, it immediately caused a lot of commotion.
However, the most shocking thing was Zheng Xu.
At this moment, Zheng Xu was still confused.
When Hong Chen took off his mask, everyone else was stupid.
He couldn't have imagined that he was just planning to come here to earn some rent money, but he actually met the owner of this studio, actor Hong Chen!
This is his idol!
At this time, the studio staff walked straight towards him.
He knew his chance had come.
What Hong Chen said is true, Hong Chen really wants to give himself an audition spot!
Heaven gave him a chance.
Although it is very difficult for him to compete on the same stage with a group of young actors from entertainment companies, it is impossible for him to give up.
After six years of group performances, what he was waiting for was such an opportunity!
"Really, is it Hong Chen?" Zheng Xu felt a little excited, "It's really him!"
Hong Chen walked into the company, and the front desk lady saw him and immediately came to greet him. At the same time, Ge Chen knew the news of Hong Chen's arrival, and he also ran downstairs to greet him.
"Is Yan Chi auditioning? does he have a new movie?" asked Hong Chen curiously.
Ge Chen explained: "This time it's not a movie, Director Yan plans to make a web drama of "Detective Chinatown" to expand this IP, this time it is still produced by our company, the investment has been in place, and the actors are now being selected." ”
Only then did Hong Chen remember that during the Chinese New Year, Yan Chi said that he was going to shoot an online drama and planned to use a new role as an entry point.
"Well, good. How is the artist department now, how many artists have we signed. Hong Chen asked again.
Ge Chen reported: "At present, we have signed a total of four artists, all of whom have participated in one or two TV series and are very good young actors in all aspects. ”
Now that Lu Jia and Shang Yuyan's fame have risen, Lu Jia is in the style of a pure girl, focusing on youth romance films, and there are many films. Shang Yuyan has a cold personality, and the company wants to make her a fashionista, mainly participating in some urban film and television dramas, and receiving some commercial advertisements and endorsements. ”
"This year's investment profit has not yet begun, but there is a professional evaluation team to follow up in real time, and they are all cooperating with other big studios, and there is no problem in the follow-up. ”
Ge Chen had a stack of materials in her hand, which was the overall situation of the company's work this year that she had sorted out, and when she walked to Hong Chen's office, Ge Chen put all the information on Hong Chen's desk.
Ge Chen's ability is very strong, and Hong Chen is still relatively relieved of this.
Hong Chen read all the information, after all, he is the boss, he can't be completely the shopkeeper, and many situations must be mastered personally.
"Okay, the principle of development is still what I said, the focus is on the two fields of film investment and artist training, and then slowly expand to other directions. Hong Chen nodded and put down the information.
Now the company is still in its infancy, and it will have to wait a while to make a profit.
"Where's Yan Chi? I'll go see him. After Hong Chen understood the company's situation, he got up from his office chair and asked.
"There's in the conference room, still auditioning. ”
Then, Hong Chen walked towards the conference room, and at this moment, the corridor outside the conference room was full of young actors waiting for auditions, but Hong Chen took another passage, and could enter the conference room directly from the lounge.
It happened that Yan Chi had just finished auditioning for an actor, and when he saw Hong Chen appear, he immediately smiled and said, "Yo, big actor, why did you come to the company?"
Yan Chi knew the news of Hong Chen's return to Kyoto, and also knew that Hong Chen had been accompanying Yan Yileng recently, so he didn't bother too much.
"I heard that you are auditioning, and I am curious to come and see, your current posture is not small. Hong Chen also joked.
There are a total of five casting directors in the conference room, all of whom are members of the studio except for Yan Chi, which can also be understood as people from the director's department under the studio.
"It's not like I'm busy making money for someone. Yan Chi laughed.
Hong Chen shrugged, what Yan Chi said was true, Yan Chi is a veteran of the studio, and Hong Chen's studio has relied on the IP of "Chinatown Detective" for several big profits.
"What are the casting results?" asked Hong Chen again.
Yan Chi shook his head and sighed: "Hey, today's young people, their acting skills are really getting worse and worse than before, and I feel that they don't study acting at all, they just look for opportunities to be popular and come to me to join in the fun." ”
Hong Chen nodded thoughtfully, many young artists are indeed like this now.
For example, there is a big man in the music industry who once chatted with young musicians, and he said in an interview: "Today's young people don't think about any dreams, plans, or futures, they just want to be popular." You ask them, 'What are your dreams?' and they look dazed, don't know what to say, just reply 'I want to be red'. ”
Of course, there is nothing wrong with wanting to be popular, and this is the case now. The entertainment industry is becoming more and more impetuous, as long as you can be popular, you can make more money.
The essence of capital is to make profits, and the bosses behind them want to make money, and they don't care so much, they just have to find a way to make people popular, and if they are popular, they can make money.
However, it is worth mentioning that in fact, actors or artists have a lot of difficulties.
The actors look infinitely beautiful, with a large number of fans and a lot of money, which is seen from the perspective of ordinary people. In fact, in the eyes of the upper class, an actor is nothing more than a drama that can help him make money.
Moreover, the work of the actor is very intensive, so it is necessary to have an agent or assistant to assist in the work. Often all year round, there is no time to be free.
Even if you jump out of the company to set up your own studio and become your own boss, it is not so easy, after all, it is very tiring for a company to wait for you to raise.
Like Hong Chen, it is already very good luck. With the assistance of capable characters like Yan Chi and Ge Chen, the company is on the right track step by step.
Therefore, now he can jump out of the controlled circle and become a part of the upper class.
"Then come on, there are so many auditioning actors, there is always a suitable one. Hong Chen comforted.
"You're here, won't you help me audition?" Yan Chi hurriedly shouted when he saw that he was leaving.
Hong Chen waved his hand, "I can't help much, you as a big director, just take the idea, besides, your sister is still waiting for me at home." ”
"No, it's such a heartless ......."
"Haha, I'll invite you to dinner in the evening, and we'll talk about it then. ”
"Okay, wait for me. ”
