Chapter 6: The Foreman
In the morning, Chen Xiao interviewed all the people, except for one girl who did not come.
There was one girl in the middle of it who caught his eye.
This girl's name is Yunshang, she graduated from a drama academy, she is not a professional acting, but she also has acting skills, the only regret is that she is too young, although she already seems more mature, but it is still a little worse.
But this is not a problem, when the time comes, find a better makeup artist, and it will be solved in minutes.
Yunshang came with an agent.
Chen Xiao asked her agent to sign the contract on the spot, gave her the script, and asked her to familiarize herself with the role.
As for the salary.
Forehead...... A whole ten thousand.
This is the advantage of using newcomers, the salary is as much as you say, just point to being famous.
After everyone left, the landlord came to Chen Xiao again: "Xiao Chen, it's not that difficult for me to watch this acting, and I think your movie is quite interesting." ”
"Brother Wang, acting is something that looks simple, but it's hard to do. ”
Wang Yuejin turned his face: "You don't let me audition, believe it or not, I'll kick you out, this is my house"
"Okay, okay, then you'll have a paragraph. ”
"That's right. ”
"Look, I'm going to start. ”
Chen Xiao was lying on the sofa and watching, Wang Yuejin had already memorized the lines after reading it a few times before, and he didn't read the script at this time, and started the show directly.
He walked a few steps on the ground, holding his head in his hand as if he was remembering something.
Chen Xiao looked at it, it was quite like the thing.
"I went to the window and looked into the room, and I saw a table......"
The landlord gestured with his hand, as if recalling what had happened before: "There is also a dinner for eight people, I see...... Oh my!"
Chen Xiao was stunned, this performance seemed to be better than the previous audition.
Although I did some superfluous movements, my expression was in place.
"Brother Wang, have you studied acting?"
"No, I don't know the script, so I just thought I was in a horror movie and acted according to the normal reaction. ”
"That's right, but everyone knows what you say, but there aren't many things you can do. ”
"And how did I act?"
"To be honest, it's not good. ”
Wang Yuejin suddenly had a constipated expression, he didn't act well, why are you talking so much?
"Still. Chen Xiao thought for a while and then spoke: "Although your movements are a little redundant, they are very natural, if you practice a little, you can still be qualified for this movie." ”
"What are you playing with me? gasp, come here, sign the contract!"
"Ah, I haven't said I'll ask you to act. ”
"The rent is free for you, and you don't want to be paid, how can you sign or not, if you don't sign, the house will not be used for you!"
Since you can play it yourself, there is no need to be polite, this role has to be decided by yourself.
Chen Xiao didn't expect that there would be an unexpected joy, anyway, the landlord is already the most suitable person, there is no need for him not to sign, and now he is free of rent.
plus the total salary is more than 10,000 yuan, and you can become a producer in a movie with a total investment of 300,000 yuan.
After signing the contract, the landlord put the contract away before asking: "Isn't my character also a girlfriend, I think my wife is very good, I will bring it to you to see?"
"Uh...... Forget it. ”
"Don't get paid!"
“...... Okay, I'll take a look, but I still have to audition. ”
Wang Yuejin can see that this crew is a small workshop, and the starring role is only 10,000, and whether such a movie can be released is a question.
But that's not something he should be thinking about.
When Chen Xiao was the only one left in the room, he turned on the computer again and found that there were a lot more resumes in the background, and the popularity of his posts had risen a lot.
Only eight people were needed for the entire film, two have now been identified, and the rest are pending.
One resume after another began to be screened, and not surprisingly, none of these resumes were more than third-level actors, and most of them were group performances.
I chose a few that seemed more suitable and called him to come for an interview in the afternoon.
After a while, the landlord came over.
"Isn't my sister-in-law coming?"
"No, she's not interested in acting, don't worry about her, I'll play mine when the time comes. ”
After saying that, the landlord asked again, "What, you want to go out?"
"Yes, I'll go to Hengdian to see ......"
When I arrived at the gate of the community, I got on the bus, passed a total of 12 platforms, and got off directly at Hengdian.
It's not the first time he's been to Hengdian, but he's always been a tourist before.
Now I'm looking for actors.
Hengdian is also known as the Hollywood of the East, which is simply a concentration camp for actors.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I was handed out a flyer.
"XX Actor Training Center?"
After walking a little further, I casually threw the flyer into the trash.
Then he saw two men, one of whom was a fat man with a horn in his hand:
"Are there any 30 to 40-year-olds, there are ten men who want to live, who can run!"
Then, a group of people quickly surrounded him, and Chen Xiao, who was caught off guard, was directly squeezed in.
"Don't squeeze, tell me to get out. ”
But no one paid attention to him, and everyone pushed and raised their hands against each other.
The two people on the stage seemed to be accustomed to this scene, and they didn't look like they wanted to maintain order at all, and clicked a few times casually: "You, you, and you, the one in black, you guys follow him." ”
The ten people who were selected followed the team leader into the crew, and the rest of the people who were not selected scolded secretly and dispersed.
Soon, only the fat man with the horn and Chen Xiao were left on the scene.
In the whole Hengdian, there are many people like fat people.
They are the foremen of the actors.
Usually it is to help the crew recruit actors, but they are basically group performances.
It looks like a Hengdian version of an employment agency.
However, don't underestimate anyone, these actor leaders have their own group, and they will be invited to their own group when they meet a group performance with good acting skills.
In this way, if the crew recruits people next time, you can go directly to the people, and the people under you will make fewer mistakes, and you will be less scolded, and you will have a greater chance of continuing to cooperate in the future.
Chen Xiao wants to find a group performance with better acting skills, and finding it by himself is undoubtedly the slowest way, just like looking for a needle in a haystack.
A good way to do this is to find these foremen.
The fat man's name was Wang Fu, and when he saw that Chen Xiao was still there, he asked casually, "Why don't you leave." ”
"I'm not an actor. ”
Chen Xiao handed over a business card: "I am a director, and now I am making a small-budget movie, and now I am still missing a few main roles, and I want to play the role of the whole scene." ”
"Dawn Pictures? Why haven't I heard of it, why don't you go to the union?"
Wang Fu looked at him with some suspicion.
"I need good acting skills, and I don't have too much pay, and it's hard for the guild to find that. 10,000 for each actor, and I'll give you another 1,000 for the other person, and it takes about five days to act. ”
"Yes, when do you want someone. ”
"Tomorrow at eight o'clock in the morning, you can bring someone over for an audition. ”
Wang Fu finally agreed, he actually didn't doubt that Chen Xiao would be a liar.
What can you fool?
Money? Who would be stupid enough to pay these old fritters in Hengdian.
It's not a little girl, it's so easy to deceive.
However, he also saw that after five days of filming, the main actors' salaries were only 10,000, and it was obvious that this could be an online movie.
But online movies are also movies, and he also has two subordinates with good acting skills, and now that he has a chance, it's still good to let him show his face.
