"So many?" Yang Zhu looked at the thick stack of materials sent to him, and his scalp was a little numb;

"Official...... BOSS, there are a total of 136 here, all of which are sent by various brokerage companies, and the information of actors over 30 years old;" The little white rabbit saw that Liu Feifei was also there, and quickly changed his words.

"Well, Ms. Liu is still answering the phone over there, and it is estimated that someone will send an audition application over. ”

Seeing that his man was not in a good mood, the little white rabbit immediately slapped a little fart: "Now boss, you are a popular director, how many actors cry and shout that they want to participate in your movie?"

"No, if you hadn't qualified the conditions, the materials handed over would not have been 136, but 1360!"

Yang Zhu looked at the little white rabbit who deliberately showed a sneer, and scolded with a smile, feeling a little better.

then pinched his eyebrows, exhaled hard, and then picked up the information one by one and swept it up;

"Ma Peng, how did you think of sending such a sharp-beaked monkey gill?

......

"Sun Lei, the hardware conditions are so-so, so let's use it as an alternative. ”

......

"Wang Kai, he is half an acquaintance, and his appearance is good, but the expressiveness of his facial expressions is a little substandard, forget it, let's alternative." ”

......

"Hehe, Feifei, do you guess who I saw? Your big brother Huang, he is too embarrassed to send an application? besides, he is not yet old;

......

Two hours later, Yang Zhu leaned back in his chair a little irritably, and then waved his hand, and his little apprentice and the little white rabbit immediately obediently picked up the selected materials and pasted them on the whiteboard one by one;

"Huh, Mr. Sun Honglei also sent an application?" the little fairy exclaimed, looking at the paper in her hand in disbelief;

Yang Zhu nodded with some distress: "But his image and performance style are not in line with this role." ”

The little white rabbit said with some confusion: "Then why did you pick him out as an alternative, boss?"

Yang Zhu said weakly: "Why else, in order not to offend people! Who knows if there will be a time to beg others to appear in the future." ”

"And it is estimated that people also looked at Mr. Chen's face and handed over such a document. ”

The little white rabbit sighed and continued to post the information;

Five minutes later, Yang Zhu got up, looked at the densely packed names and faces on the whiteboard, familiar or unfamiliar, looked back and forth a few times, turned his head and said to his little apprentice: "Feifei, call your mother, let her come and come;"

Then frowned: "It's just these people for the time being, I hope that the audition the day after tomorrow, someone in it can surprise me." ”

..................

Two days later, in the office building rented by Liu's mother;

"Hello director, I am Zhang Feng, who has starred in the second male ...... of "Under the Snow" and the third male of "The Change of Shanhaiguan".

A man in his thirties, dressed in a modest suit and with a hint of confidence on his face, chattered.

"Okay, you don't need to say anything about your past, I have it here, just change your clothes and audition. Yang Zhu stretched out his hand to interrupt him and went straight to the point.

"The script was sent to you the day before yesterday, right? After you change your clothes, let's get ready, and let's have a live performance of the 5th scene and the 3rd shot. ”

After finishing speaking, Yang Zhu motioned for the staff to take him down;

Five minutes later, Zhang Feng, who was wearing a Taoist robe and a wig, reappeared in front of Yang Zhu;

Yang Zhu stretched out his hand and signaled that he could start performing.

Zhang Feng cleared his throat, then made a plausible gesture, with a stern face, and shouted in a deep voice:

"Senior brother, your daughter is too willful, and she ran to Longshou Peak to openly show her love, where does this put me in Qingyunmen?"

"OK! You can stop!" Zhang Feng said a line, and Yang Zhu interrupted him.

"Thank you for coming all the way to audition, and in 7 days, our staff will let you know the results of the interview. Yang Zhu had a formulaic smile on his face.

Zhang Feng is a little depressed, he has been in the entertainment industry for a long time, of course he knows what it means.

Watching him disappear into the room, the little white rabbit who was pulled over to act as the judge's assistant whispered: "BOSS, why did you just say a line and OUT?"

Yang Zhu's face was expressionless: "From the moment he showed a stern expression, he was OUT, and let him say a line in order for me to take care of his face." ”

The little white rabbit stuck out his tongue, and then cried out crisply, "Next!"

......

"Hello director, hello Miss Wan!" a sunny and handsome man in his thirties walked in and bowed slightly very politely.

"Teacher Lu, hello, I'm really sorry for the trouble you came over!" Yang Zhu smiled, stood up with Little White Rabbit and Liu Feifei, and reached out to shake his hand.

"Where, where, I'm an actor, that's the procedure to go. Lu Yi said with a smile.

"You are a busy person, don't you dare to delay your time, so let's go straight to the point?" Yang Zhu said with a smile.

Lu Yi nodded.

"That's it, today's unified test questions are all live performances of the 5th scene and 3rd scene in the script, so it's hard for you to change your costume first. Yang Zhu looked embarrassed.

Lu Yi's expression became serious, he bowed slightly to Yang Zhu, and then went with the staff to change their clothes.

Taking advantage of Lu Yi's leisure time to change clothes, Liu Feifei on the side whispered: "Teacher Lu is so polite, and so handsome, I can't tell that he is thirty years old at all." ”

The little white rabbit said curiously: "I heard that Mr. Lu is still on vacation, and he came back from Qiongnan to audition;

Yang Zhu smiled: "Mr. Lu is now trying to transform, his screen image in the TV circle has been solidified into a creamy Xiaosheng, but after all, he is gradually getting older, and Xiaosheng's road cannot be taken for a lifetime, so for him, there is nothing more attractive than a brilliant role in a big-budget movie." ”

The two of them bowed their heads, and Liu Feifei was all about it.

After a while, a Taoist with a face like white jade walked out, Yang Zhu looked at it, beckoned the staff to paste three long beards on him, and suddenly a middle-aged Taoist with a strong jade rhyme appeared in front of the three of them;

Yang Zhu nodded with satisfaction: "Teacher Lu, thank you for your hard work." Then he held out his hand and motioned for him to start performing.

When Lu Yi saw Yang Zhu's command, he suddenly straightened back slightly, and the momentum on his body suddenly rose by three points;

I saw him staring at Yang Zhu, raising his eyebrows slightly, sighing slightly, and saying in a complaining tone among friends: "Senior brother, your daughter is too willful to ......."

Then he shook his head slightly, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "I actually ran to Longshou Peak to openly show my love,"

Then the tone suddenly rose a point: the tone was slightly solemn: "Where is this where does this put me Qingyunmen wind!?"

"And that Zhang Xiaofan, you were determined to take him under the door at the beginning,"

"But look at it, it's still the 7th layer of Qi cultivation, it's not good to practice penance, but you're messing around all day long, your daughter's play is also his idea, right?" The tone became more and more severe, and the last sentence was even more with a long tail note.

............

Half a minute later, Lu Yi's performance ended;

After watching his performance, although Yang Zhu still had a smile on his face, his brows couldn't help but be slightly raised;

Sighing silently, Yang Zhu said to him very politely: "Thank you very much Teacher Lu for your performance, so let's go back first, and we will inform you of the audition results in 7 days." ”

Lu Yi's originally slightly expectant face showed visible disappointment, he hesitated for a moment, and said to Yang Zhu:

"Director, can I know where I'm not acting well?"

After a pause: "Don't be careful, I just really want to know what my own shortcomings are." ”

Yang Zhu looked at his serious expression and sighed: "Teacher Lu, let's put it this way,"

"If it's just a TV series, or a normal character in a normal movie, you're actually doing pretty well,"

"At least a character who looks kind, but has the majesty of the head;"

"However, in my film, in the script for you, this role is far from so simple;"

"You have also read the brief character biography, the Qingyun faction is divided into two factions: [Follow-up] and [Rite Stream], and the reason why this character can be the head is actually the product of the compromise between the two factions;"

"That is to say, on the surface, he is a [Etiquette Stream], and he abides by the rules of the door when dealing with all things, big and small, and all the violations under the door will be dealt with according to the rules, not a single point, nor a light point;"

"But deep down, he is a [freelance], and although his behavior is result-oriented, it does not mean that he does not understand and agree with some of the outrageous behaviors of young people."

"Therefore, in the conversation with the junior brother who has known each other for decades, you should always be as casual as when chatting with an old friend, showing understanding and relaxation, and even showing nostalgia for this kind of casual behavior and helplessness in your tone of voice;"

"Only when the final announcement of the punishment of your junior daughters and disciples will your expression suddenly become serious;"

"So, from the second sentence onwards, your tone is getting heavier and heavier, and all of a sudden the sense of conflict in this role is gone, which is your biggest problem, Mr. Cailu;"

After hesitating for a moment, Yang Zhu continued: "Also, some of your solidification habits have mixed too many impurities with this character;"

"For example, the slightly raised and slanted corners of the eyebrows, the unnatural smile at the corners of the mouth, the eyeballs that keep rolling around, etc., ......"

"These actions may be good for the small characters in urban dramas, but they will look particularly frivolous when placed on such a middle-aged head;"

"So...... I suggest that when Mr. Lu receives a new role in the future, especially a movie role, he must spend a while, even if it is half a day, to completely [empty] himself, so that he can become a pure [body] and put the characteristics of the new character into it. ”

Lu Yi stood in place, lowered his head and pondered for a full three minutes, then raised his head, smiled and bowed slightly: "Thank you director, I have benefited a lot!"

The look was a lot more relaxed......

Seeing Lu Yi's figure disappear in front of him, Yang Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, finally the people were not angry,

I'm annoyed by casting or something, and if I don't pay attention to it, I'll offend some big names and make trouble for myself.

looked at the time, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and turned his head sideways: "How many more are there today?"

The little white rabbit looked at the personnel registration form: "There are 6 more today." ”

"Cheng, call someone. ”

The little white rabbit nodded: "Next ......"

..................

Day 2;

Yang Zhu held back a smile, looking at Sun Honglei who was dressed in a Taoist robe in front of him, with thief eyebrows and rat eyes, where is this the head of the dignified Qingyun Sect, it is clearly the old worship of the Thousand Hands Sect, okay?

Sun Honglei, who was pulling his sleeves, touched it left and right, and then grinned, and he was stupid first.

"It seems that my image really doesn't look like a faction of leaders. Sun Honglei blinked his little eyes.

"Well, Mr. Sun's appearance is very distinctive, but it really doesn't look like a leader. Yang Zhu said seriously.

"Cheng, I'm just going to have a good time, by the way, I'm familiar with Director Yang, in case I make any movies in the future, don't forget that there is a guy named Sun Honglei. Sun Honglei chatted with Yang Zhu very familiarly.

Ten minutes later, Sun Honglei left, and Yang Zhu shook his head with a wry smile: "I'll just say that the big names in the entertainment industry have every fuel-efficient lamp." ”

Liu Feifei was confused: "What does Master mean by this? I think Uncle Sun is very good and approachable." ”

Yang Zhu looked at his little apprentice with a caring eye for kindergarten children.

The little white rabbit explained: "What a big wrist Mr. Sun is, your master is not a top director now, for such a supporting role, or a supporting role that obviously does not match the image rushed over to audition,"

"What are people trying to do? To put it bluntly, they just came here to get familiar and sell personal favors;"

"In this way, in the future, your master really has a role that suits him, or he really likes a certain role, and under appropriate circumstances, your master is embarrassed not to give it?"

The little fairy's eyes widened like black pearls: "Is this okay?"

Yang Zhu rolled up an A4 piece of paper and knocked it on the little apprentice's head: "You are lucky, plus your mother protects you all day long, otherwise you would have been pit on the moon a long time ago!"

The little fairy touched a few strands of hair that had been messed up, pouted and said, "Isn't there still a master here......

..................

On the seventh day,

Yang Zhu, who was getting more and more agitated, turned his head sideways and asked, "Is there anyone else?"

The little white rabbit's voice was a little softer: "No, Yang Li who left just now is the last." ”

Yang Zhu picked up a stack of paper full of handwriting in the past few days, looked at it again and again, and leaned back on the back of the chair a little dejectedly: "It seems that I can only be taller among the short." ”

"In this way, you call the man named Ma Bin and ask him to come over in the afternoon, and he is the only one who is selected, and I estimate that after training, he can barely play this role. ”

The little white rabbit looked at his man with some concern, and finally didn't say anything, and went straight out to call.

Two o'clock in the afternoon,

Ma Bin, who couldn't hold back his joy, followed the agent to the corridor outside the door, he only felt that his luck this year was really good.

A long time ago, my agent took over a play for the leading actor, although it is only a small and medium-sized TV series, but this is the first time in 36 years that I have been the number one male;

Then came two more business endorsements, as well as several variety show announcements,

In the end, the movie audition that I didn't expect much from me also called, and it seems that I was selected, this is a big-budget movie!

Walking to the door, he calmed his breath, straightened his clothes, and walked in.

Yang Zhu shook his hand with a smile and said straight to the point: "Mr. Ma, the audition results have come out, congratulations, we have decided to choose you as the actor of the role of [Daoxuan]." ”

Although he had expected it, after confirming the news, Ma Bin couldn't help but smile.

After a few polite words, Ma Bin's agent finally spoke: "Director Yang, I want to know, what is our Ma Bin's salary?"

Yang Zhu looked at this unattractive woman, and said: "The role of the role of [Daoxuan] is relatively heavy, and he belongs to the fourth character in the film, but he is not the protagonist after all, and our total salary budget is not high;"

"Therefore, the salary we gave Mr. Ma is 2 million. ”

Ma Bin and his agent showed a disappointed expression on their faces, they originally thought that since this movie claims to be an investment of 500 million, even if this number is injected with water, the actual investment of 350 million will always be there, right?

According to the unspoken rules of film and television production now, of the 350 million miles, at least 50%-70% must be paid for the film, which is at least about 180 million;

Although this role is not the main character, it is obviously important, otherwise it would not have taken such a lot of trouble to get so many people to audition;

Although Ma Bin is not very famous, and he has no coffee position in the film industry, but since he is the No. 4 role, 6 million to 10 million is always to be given, right?

As a result, I didn't expect the other party to only give a salary of 2 million, and the gap between the two can be imagined.

As if seeing what the two of them thought, Yang Zhu said: "It's not that we deliberately compress the salary, but that our salary standard is not high;"

pointed to the little apprentice next to him: "Liu Feifei, female number one, the number 2 role in the film, her salary is only 10 million;"

pointed to the little white rabbit again: "Wan Jing, the second female lead, the No. 3 role in the film, her salary is 5 million;"

"There is also Mr. Chen Daomin, he is the No. 5 character in the film, and his salary is also 2 million!"

heard that Mr. Chen Daomin would also act, and the salary was the same as Ma Bin's;

Yang Zhu continued: "For an actor, good works and good roles come first;"

"When you are really famous, just take a few endorsements, which one is not higher than your salary?"

The two nodded, the entertainment industry is like this, fame and fortune are hung together, with fame, money will take the initiative to drill into your arms;

Seeing the fact that the two accepted the remuneration, Yang Zhu continued: "To be honest, Mr. Ma, your performance still has many shortcomings,"

"And in order to ensure the quality of our movie, all the actors must be trained intensively, and there will be special teachers to train you in etiquette, culture, action, and lines, and each teacher is a top-notch figure in their respective fields, which is also a benefit given to you by the crew. ”

The little fairy and the little white rabbit next to him couldn't help but roll their eyes when they heard Yang Zhutian shamelessly call the college entrance examination-style stabbing special training "welfare".

The agent on the side had a little more heart, and asked, "Director Yang, I want to know, how long will this training take?"

Yang Zhu calculated: "It will take about 4-7 months, and it will start after the actors are decided, until before the start of filming." ”

Ma Bin and the agent glanced at each other: "So long?"

Yang Zhu nodded: "In order to achieve the desired effect, it must take so long, in fact, if the situation allows, I also hope that it can be longer." ”

The two pondered the issue of schedule conflict, and their faces were a little unpleasant;

The agent asked again: "What kind of training method is that, is it to let the teacher follow our Ma Bin and tutor one-on-one?"

Yang Zhu rolled his eyes, how could it be? Do you think these top-notch teachers are radishes in the ground, and you can have them if you want to?

Don't talk about you, even the leading actor doesn't have this treatment.

Yang Zhu smiled gently: "No, these teachers are all big names, I have spent countless experiences and countless favors to invite so many people, so it is naturally impossible to give a special person guidance to a certain actor;"

"All the actors, according to the role forces in the script, will be divided into three waves, and each will follow the corresponding teacher for intensive tutoring. ”

The agent's face was a little unnatural: "Director Yang, this training is closed training?"

Yang Zhu nodded: "In order to better improve the training effect and let the actors quickly enter the role, it is naturally closed training,"

"In this process, the actors are not allowed to carry mobile phones, and everyone will eat, wear, and live together, as far as possible from the outside world;"

"Of course, if there are any special circumstances, you can contact the staff, if it is really necessary to go out to deal with it, I will grant leave, but the vacation shall not exceed three days, and the number of leave shall not exceed two. ”

Ma Bin suddenly became a little anxious: "What about my business endorsements, variety show announcements, and the TV series that has been signed?"

Yang Zhu thought for a while: "My suggestion is to take advantage of the fact that there are still a few days left, and the commercial endorsement advertisement should be filmed as soon as possible;"

"Variety show announcements and TV series will push it off, if you feel that you are not good at exporting or can't handle it, I will send someone to negotiate for you;"

"Don't worry, I'll finish it well, and it won't cause you any bad effects. ”

Ma Bin blurted out: "This can't work, I finally won a male lead, how can I say that I will let it go?"

"There are also those business endorsements, which are written in the contract to participate in a certain number of activities, even if the business does not pursue it, but if I don't participate in these activities, my remuneration will be a lot less. ”

Although Yang Zhu understood his mood, he still frowned: "Mr. Ma, if you have gains, you have to lose;"

"I said that the most important thing for an actor is to have good works and good roles, as long as you really shoot this role well, I dare to guarantee that your popularity is definitely higher than that of you as the male protagonist of a TV series and shooting a few commercials!"

Ma Bin looked at him and thought, you don't have a backache when you stand and talk, and you know how to pour chicken soup on others all day long as if you don't need money;

Do you know how much effort I've put into these things and how many years I've been working on them?

Now with your fluttering words, you want me to give up all this for the 2 million salary and a character who doesn't know if it can be popular?

There are no doors!

At the moment, he glanced at the economic man, and then squeezed out a smile: "Director Yang, let's do it, can you let me think about it and then reply to you?"

Yang Zhu's brows were entangled, and he said a little unwillingly: "But I'm in a hurry, and I need to hurry up after the list of actors is finalized, so I will hurry up and train." ”

Then he sighed slightly: "Mr. Ma, what I just said is serious, this role is very outstanding, you will definitely not regret it after you play it." ”

Ma Bin struggled for a few seconds, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Director Yang, thank you for your affirmation,"

"But...... I'll be blunt, I don't think I'm suitable for this role, so you'd better find another skill!"

......

Yang Zhu stared at the backs of the two of them in the distance, his expression was extremely irritable, if it weren't for his little apprentice and staff next to him, he would have wanted to smash the table directly.

Liu Feifei looked at her master cautiously, and complained in her heart about her mother, if it weren't for her mother's decoupling, why would the master need to be so troubled?

So he ran to Yang Zhu's back and pressed his shoulder very sensibly: "Master, don't be in a hurry, look for it slowly, there will always be a suitable actor." ”

"It's really not good, let's hold an audition for the public, I don't believe it, there are so many people in Huaxia, and they can't choose one that can make Master your eyes. ”

When the little white rabbit heard it, although this idea was a little louder and more expensive, it was also a good idea: "Yes, BOSS, we don't necessarily have to look for it from the entertainment industry, didn't you say it, the masters are all in the people, and there will definitely be more than N people who meet your requirements." ”

Yang Zhu lit a cigarette and pursed his lips: "This is too time-consuming, and people who don't have a foundation in acting are too hard to teach!"

Glancing at the little white rabbit: "It's harder than teaching you at the beginning." ”

The little white rabbit pouted, sullen, this dead boss, he didn't save any face for himself in front of his junior sister.

After smoking a cigarette, Yang Zhu seemed to have made up his mind, snuffed out the cigarette butt, and sneered: "I don't believe it, without Butcher Zhang, I can't eat hairy pork!"

He instructed the staff, "Bring me the wig, beard, and robe, and get me one." ”

"Master, could it be you???"

"BOSS, let's not be angry, sit down quickly, I'll make you a pot of tea to dissipate your anger!"

The two girls looked at each other, could it be that their own boss/master failed in casting, was greatly stimulated, and began to lose their spirits?

The staff quickly put these things on Yang Zhu's body, and took a mirror over and held it in front of Yang Zhu.

Yang Zhu raised his head and looked in the mirror, only to see a middle-aged Taoist with a medium appearance, but no sense of disobedience, appearing in the mirror, but the usual ruffian between his eyebrows somewhat destroyed the temperament of the whole person;

Well, at least from the point of view of appearance, it is still eye-catching, and the hardware foundation is so-so;

Since the hardware barely passed, then ......

Yang Zhu gritted his teeth, called up the system that he hadn't paid attention to for a long time, and nodded in great distress......

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
