Chapter 15: Auditions
The actor is born ugly, and Lu Xiaoran was recruited into the film academy according to the standards of Xiaosheng.
It's a pity that there have been too many small students in the past few years, Chen Kun, Huang Xiaoming, Nie Yuan, Lu Yi, Deng Chao, including Tong Dawei are all famous niche actors, Lu Xiaoran is not competitive compared to them!
Of course, they mainly mix TV drama in the market...
The status quo is like this, the film market is very sluggish, under the joint impact of Hollywood blockbusters and Hong Kong films, all year round, in addition to Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kaige's films can have some attention, and they are also starring, only a few thousand yuan for making a movie, and more than 100,000 yuan for making a TV series...
Moreover, it is rare for mainland actors to appear in movies...
The market is dominated by Hong Kong and Taiwan actors!
That's why there will be four dans and double ice - the name of an actress can actually overshadow a male actor!
After the Hong Kong director went north, according to the regulations, one of the male and female protagonists of the co-production must be a mainland actor, in order to ensure that the male protagonist of the co-production is a Hong Kong artist, then he can only sacrifice the rights and interests of Hong Kong actresses and match mainland actresses at will...
Therefore, in the past few years, Sidan Shuangbing has a great reputation, and has won the Golden Statue and Golden Horse Awards many times...
Even so, the talented girl Xu did not have a nomination award...
How did you get the name of this Nima talented girl?
Ahem...
According to the husky, if Lu Xiaoran continues to mix step by step, he will have to wait at least until after 2012 before he can play the male lead...
He can't wait!
Then you can only make friends with the new director, and form your own game!
"It's not easy to make movies now, you start a TV series first, I have a book here that is especially suitable for you!"
“... What kind of book?"
"Latent!"
"Latent?"
"Yes, you buy the copyright first, and then find someone to adapt it... It's better to be Jiang Wei!"
"Teacher Jiang Wei is no longer in Nortel, where can I find him?"
Jiang Wei was also a teacher in Nortel's Department of Literature before, and later went to make a TV series with Zhang Jiandong.
The two have collaborated on five plays: "Let Love Be the Master", "Don't Talk to Strangers", "Absolute Control", "Blue Bird's Sky", "Close to You and Warm Me"...
Then he went to shoot "The Mist"...
Very good at suspense themes.
In recent years, the dramas involved in the case are not allowed to be filmed...
He is definitely interested in spy war dramas!
"You're in the circle, it's not easy to find someone? You buy the copyright and then find him, and he's definitely interested. ”
“... Okay, who is the original?"
"How do I know, you can check the Internet yourself!"
......
After returning to Beijing, Lu Xiaoran first went to Xinhua Bookstore, bought "Latent", and read it again...
And then he was shocked!
This Nima is a short story of less than 10,000 words!
How did this thing be adapted into a TV series?
You must know that there are at least 20 episodes of TV series at this stage, which is 300,000 words!
But he still listened to the husky, contacted the writer Long Yi, and then bought the adaptation rights for 50,000 yuan...
"Am I going to find Mr. Jiang Wei?"
“... You put it here first, and wait for him to come to you!"
"Why do you come up with an idea, what if he doesn't look for me?"
"He's going to be looking for you!"
"You said it!"
By the way, Lu Xiaoran was driving to Xinbaoyuan Company, and Wang Luodan informed him that the audition time was three o'clock in the afternoon!
......
Downstairs in the company, Lu Xiaoran parked the car, took a long step, and walked into the building quickly.
"Hurry, hurry!"
“... Big sister, I'm already very fast!"
Wang Luodan was waiting for him at the door...
The two walked into the elevator, and Wang Luodan advised: "You must make a good impression on the director." ”
"Yes. ”
“... The assistant director and screenwriter are here, don't drop the chain, I can praise you in the sky, but not in the ground!"
"I try..."
"Your attitude is so bad, let me tell you..."
“... I know the severity, I don't care if I say this kind of thing, I have to nod the director!"
"If only you knew!"
After getting out of the elevator, Lu Xiaoran and the others showed their heads, and a girl greeted: "Please go inside for the audition, and wait in the lounge first." ”
“...”
Wang Luodan ignored her and led Lu Xiaoran directly to the director's office...
"Shall we go straight to it?"
Wang Luodan is quite confident: "Don't worry, I'll tell the director!"
Lu Xiaoran suddenly had the feeling of eating soft rice...
......
Knock on the door and go inside.
There were four people sitting in the room, three middle-aged men, and a middle-aged woman...
Lu Xiaoran knows them all.
Sitting at the desk is Zhao Baogang...
The woman is his wife, Ding Xin, and the other two are Wang Ying and Shi Yan...
Wang Ying was Zhao Baogang's photographer before, and Zhao Baogang brought it out.
Before Lu Xiaoran opened his mouth, Wang Luodan said: "Director, I brought you the people!"
"Hello teachers, my name is Lu Xiaoran. ”
Ding Xin looked at Lu Xiaoran, and then said, "... Quite a handsome young man, Lordan has a good eye!"
"No, I'm good friends with him, college classmates!"
"Yes, college classmates..."
Ding Xin got up and led Wang Luodan away...
Sister Ge made a vague cheering action...
Wang Ying took Lu Xiaoran's resume: "Lu Xiaoran, 83 years... Yo, you've acted in a lot of dramas!"
"It's all supporting roles, gaining experience. ”
"How did you come up with the idea of being an actor?"
“... My academic performance was not good, and then my family also supported me, so I came to Beijing..."
"How does it feel?"
"Do you mean to be an actor?"
"Yes!"
"It's okay, anyway, I earn enough to live in Beijing. ”
“... It's easy for you to be content. ”
"Hehe..."
Lu Xiaoran smirked...
"Have you read the script?"
"Hmm. ”
"What's your favorite character?"
"Huazi!"
Zhao Baogang seemed surprised, and interjected and asked, "Why Huazi?"
“... I think he's just a normal person. ”
Shi Yan was also quite interested: "You don't like Lu Tao?"
“... I don't like it very much, he's too hypocritical," Lu Xiaoran pondered before, Zhao Baogang and their generation probably looked down on the post-80s, so he said according to this line of thought: "Lu Tao is a person, his father is rich, his stepfather has power, his ex-girlfriend and his father are billionaires, and even the worst current girlfriend and his father can casually have a shop in Beijing's flower and bird market... When such a man talks about ideals, I feel very fake!"
"Haha!" Zhao Baogang laughed, looked at the stone chaff, and then asked, "What about Xiangnan?"
“... Too cowardly..."
The second half of the sentence was covered up by him - Yang Xiaoyun is too disgusting!
The girl who did this couldn't understand that Xiang Nan wanted to marry her for Mao.
"Okay, it's rare to meet someone who understands, Huazi will give it to you, you go down to find Ding Xin. ”
“... Huh?"
Lu Xiaoran was a little confused...
Why did you give it to me?
What about auditions?
In the past, I heard that Zhao Baogang's casting was based on people and roles, rather than looking at roles and picking people, and his vision was very good!
Therefore, I praised Wang Zhiwen, Lu Yi, Chen Kun...
But you don't even have to audition, right?
Wang Ying: "This kid, stupid, right? Director Zhao said, Huazi will give it to you, you go down to Mr. Ding to negotiate the actor contract!"
“... Good!"
Lu Xiaoran turned to leave, and the moment he closed the door, he heard Wang Ying say, 'Wang Jinghua is a little too much, I want to pack all the characters...'
It's clear in an instant...
