After discussing with Chen Jun, Xiao Yao went to the casting studio with Chen Jun and asked the studio to send supplementary instructions to the agents or agencies of all the actors on the original audition list as required, and then wait for the feedback from the other party to reformulate the list of audition actors.

The relevant personnel in charge of this TV series business at the casting studio were surprised to hear Xiao Yao's request. After repeatedly confirming that Xiao Yao was sure that they were going to do this, rather than some new hype method, the studio quickly arranged for people to follow up on this matter.

Yu Shaoting, 26 years old, is one of the idol stars in the entertainment industry.

Four years ago, he participated in a nationwide music talent show on Shonan Satellite TV and finally won the seventh place. In that music talent show, he gained a lot of popularity. After the end of that show, he was also signed by the producer of the show, a well-known entertainment company with the resource advantages of Shonan Radio, Film and Television Group, and officially debuted.

Although Yu Shaoting debuted as a music talent show, after signing with the company, he did not develop well in music. Under the company's arrangement, he soon turned to the direction of actor. Although he is not from a professional class studying acting, and his acting skills are basically not very good, but with his excellent appearance conditions, the popularity accumulated in the talent show, and the company's resource advantages, he has actually developed well in terms of actors.

In the past four years, Yu Shaoting's TV series and film works have exceeded double digits. started with a cameo performance as an idol singer, and then slowly moved to a supporting role with weight, and the year before last, he starred in the male lead in a costume drama. Although the costume drama he starred in was an online drama, after it was broadcast on the Internet last year, the topic was not small, and the popularity was quite good, and he also became one of the traffic male stars who rose very quickly in the second half of last year.

With the increase in popularity naturally comes the increase in his status and importance within the company, the increase in exposure and workload.

He became popular with acting, and the focus of his work after that was naturally on acting. However, after his fame soared in the second half of the year, the brokerage company was also extremely careful and cautious about the film and television projects he wanted to participate in, which can be called a careful selection. In the second half of last year, he basically just participated in some variety shows when he was popular, and he also took advantage of the trend to receive a lot of advertising endorsements, but he didn't receive any suitable acting work.

It wasn't until after the Lunar New Year that the company told him that there was a new film and television project. However, the project company can't help him take it directly, in addition to the company's efforts, he also needs to try his best to fight for it.

The role that the company wants him to fight for is the younger brother of the first female, nominally the second male, but there are not many scenes. With his current popularity and coffee position, just looking at the script, he won't take a second look at such a role, but after seeing the information of the producer of this TV series, he agreed to the company's arrangement.

First of all, the producer of this TV series is a young film and television company. In the second half of last year and at the end of the year, a TV series and a movie produced by this company achieved very good results. What's more, the main actors of both projects are all newcomers. From the perspective of subject matter and style, these two projects can almost be said to be tailor-made for these new actors. After the release and broadcast of these two projects, all those newcomer actors became popular. Young film and television companies also have a good reputation in using and creating new actors.

Yu Shaoting's acting skills are not very good, the popularity of that online drama has some accidental elements, and his popularity also has some unexpected elements. Such an opportunity is rare for him. Even if he has starred in many works, there is only one work as the male lead, and there is only one role that can be remembered, so in the eyes of most people, he can still be regarded as a rookie actor. And the project of a film and television company that is good at using and creating new actors is definitely attractive to him.

Secondly, the young people's film and television company is the company of Xiao Yao and others. Judging from the analysis of his own brokerage company, this drama does not look for a male lead when looking for actors, it is very likely that one of Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui, and Lin Qisan will play this male lead. In addition, another co-producer of this project is Yin Xi Studio. Xiao Yao and Yin Xi have a very deep relationship, and they have a joint fashion brand, so it is very likely that Xiao Yao himself will star in the male lead of this drama.

Although he has already played the male lead, he can be regarded as popular, but Yu Shaoting also knows that he cannot compare with Xiao Yao, who is two years younger than him, whether it is fame, coffee position, background or qualifications. Xiao Yao, the kind of demon who has caused huge topics and countless praises in almost every show and every work since his debut, has long been the top existence among young stars, not to mention him, there are almost no peers in the circle who can compare with him. To match Xiao Yao, he will definitely not drop his Yu Shaoting's price.

But then again, even if the male one is not Xiao Yao, he is a match for Zhao Rui or Lin Qisan, and it is psychologically acceptable. After all, those two are Xiao'er and one of the shareholders of the company, their family background is not weak, and they have rich acting experience, so it is normal for him to not be able to compete.

In the end, it's an urban fashion drama. Although Yu Shaoting became popular by acting in costume online dramas, as a young star whose appearance and figure are the biggest advantages, fashion resources are very important. Yin Xi's studio is the co-producer of this TV series, so this urban fashion drama must not be bad in terms of clothing. Participating in the performance of this drama is definitely very beneficial for him to strive for fashion resources in the future.

Considering these factors, Yu Shaoting paid attention to such a role in this TV series project where the budget cost is not too high and the number of episodes is not too much. Because he was going to participate in the audition, it was very rare for him not only to read all the scripts on the day he received them, but also to read them for a while after the end of each day's work.

But what he didn't expect was that before he could go to the audition, his agent brought him not very good news.

On this day, Yu Shaoting's job was to shoot a print advertisement. Since all the communication work in the early stage had been done, his agent did not come with him, but only sent a publicity agent and two assistants to accompany him. At the end of the advertising shoot, when he was removing his makeup in the lounge, his agent suddenly came to him.

"Sister Zhang, why are you here? Didn't you get called to a meeting by the company and say you won't come today?" Seeing his agent Zhang Wenqing pushing the door in the makeup mirror, Yu Shaoting asked a little strangely.

"I have something to discuss with you!" Zhang Wenqing said to Yu Shaoting.

"What's the matter?" Yu Shaoting said with a smile, "I can't say it on the phone, and I want you to run it yourself?"

"Makeup teacher, how long will it take for you to be here?" Zhang Wenqing did not answer, but asked the makeup artist who was removing Yu Shaoting's makeup.

This time, the studio print advertisement was filmed, and the makeup requirements were very professional. This makeup artist is a professional makeup artist invited by the advertiser, not Yu Shaoting's personal makeup artist, so Zhang Wenqing is very polite to the makeup artist.

"It's almost over. The makeup artist smiled, picked up a bottle, and said very knowingly, "As long as Mr. Yu doesn't mind going out without makeup, and I don't need to make up for him with a daily light makeup, just take this makeup remover and wipe it myself, and I can leave now." ”

"That's hard work, let's just do it ourselves!" Zhang Wenqing said to the makeup artist.

"You're welcome!" the makeup artist said politely, packing up his makeup tools and leaving.

"What's the matter? so solemn?" Yu Shaoting asked Zhang Wenqing suspiciously after waiting for the makeup artist to leave.

"There are some changes to the project of "Pretty Sister" of the young company. The company is considering whether to cancel and let you go to the audition. Zhang Wenqing said.

"Why?" Yu Shaoting immediately said, "The company has found other projects for me?" I spent a lot of time preparing for this role, if it wasn't for the S-level project evaluated internally by the company, I wouldn't want to change!"

"It's not that the company has found other projects for you, it's the casting studio, no, to be precise, there is new news from the producer, and the company thinks you don't have any need to audition!" Zhang Wenqing said.

"What's new?" Yu Shaoting asked, "The role I'm going to audition for has already been decided? Didn't they say that except for the male and female roles, all other roles have to be auditioned? Who robbed this role? Xiao Yao's parents from the studio? No, there are no actors in his studio who are suitable for the age and appearance of that role, could it be themselves? Is it Zhao Rui or Lin Qisan who wants to play that role? Or is it Xu Liang and Qin Hao, the two Xiao Yao's classmates? Or is it Xu Fei?"

"Neither!" Zhang Wenqing shook his head and said, "In addition to the male and female protagonists, I don't know if there are any other roles that have been internalized, but at least on the surface, all other roles still have to audition." ”

"Since I'm going to audition, why does the company think I don't have the need to go?" Yu Shaoting said, "I haven't tried yet, how do I know that I definitely won't be able to win that role?"

"Because the casting studio sent a supplementary note!" Zhang Wenqing said.

"Additional instructions?" Yu Shaoting looked at Zhang Wenqing puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"That supplementary note is a supplement to the requirements for actors in their TV drama project. Zhang Wenqing said, "They didn't directly say that they excluded you from the list of audition actors, but the company felt that if you really followed the requirements of the supplementary instructions, you had little hope of winning the role, and the company didn't want you to take on the role." ”

"What requirements?" asked Yu Shaoting.

"First, no rolling is allowed during filming!" Zhang Wenqing said.

"Of course I'm okay personally, this depends on the company's arrangement!" Yu Shaoting said, "Could it be that the company has other projects in its hands, and wants me to take on two or more dramas at the same time in the next few months?"

"Not in this case!" Zhang Wenqing said, "The company doesn't have any other film and television projects for you, so it's not very likely to be a drama." But you're going to have a lot of business activities in the coming months, and you're going to have to participate in variety shows. Everyone knows the reason why the crew does not allow actors to roll dramas, although these jobs are not counted as rolling dramas, but they will also have an impact on filming, so the company communicated with the producer, and the reply there was that because of the matter of asking for leave for commercial activities, it cannot be more than three times a month, and each time it cannot exceed two days! Commercial activities are fine, but variety shows, you can't participate. ”

"Then push the variety show event!" Yu Shaoting said, "The company doesn't want me to give up this project because of this, right? I participate in variety shows are all flying guests, and I am not a resident, so the importance cannot be compared with this drama!"

"It's not just this reason!" Zhang Wenqing said, "The second point of the supplementary explanation is that they will not invite voice actors in the post-production of this drama, and all the simultaneous sound will be used during filming, even if the on-site recording effect is not ideal, the actors themselves must make up the recording in the later stage." ”

"Don't need a voice actor?" Yu Shaoting said in surprise.

"Yes!" Zhang Wenqing nodded, "You have acted in a lot of plays, but how many roles have you not used professional voice actors to dub for you?" Especially the online drama that made you popular, although some fans said that the voice actor delayed you, but to be honest, if there is no voice actor to help you dub in the later stage, with your original voice, can that role have that effect?"

"Shaoting, you are also particular about saying your lines during filming!" Zhang Wenqing continued, "Don't think that you don't say one, two, three, four, five, six, seven when filming, say all the lines, and let the voice actor help you lip sync when dubbing, even if you are an actor." Sometimes, that's not even the basic requirements for an actor. Your biggest advantage is first of all popularity, followed by appearance, and the basic skills of actors, you still have a lot of distance. If the other party auditions for an actor based on this, the company feels that your hope of winning the role is very slim. ”

"But will they really select actors strictly according to this?" Yu Shaoting said, "The movie is a little better, but this is a TV series, or an urban fashion drama, this type of TV series, does it not need voice actors to do the post-production? It won't be a special way of publicity and hype that they came up with, right?"

"This kind of thing, whether it is propaganda or not hype, these requirements cannot be fake. Zhang Wenqing said, "You think, since it is hype, then this matter must be reported by the media." As soon as the media reports it, it is natural that some people will stare at this point. What is the original voice of the actor, what is the voice of the character, there will definitely be people to make comparisons, this thing can't be fake!"

"Then if they do this, many popular actors will be excluded by them. Yu Shaoting said, "The popularity and popularity of actors in film and television works are also very important. Their request can be regarded as a slap in the face. Aren't they afraid of offending people, and they don't care about the popularity of the cast of the work?"

"People really don't seem to care!" Zhang Wenqing said, "There is a third point in the supplementary explanation, except for dangerous actions involving the actor's own safety or some professional stunts, whether it is a literary drama or an ordinary action scene, there is no need for a stuntman." The crew will not hire stuntmen and will not allow actors to bring their own stuntmen. ”

"It's so awesome, it's not allowed to bring your own stuntman?" Yu Shaoting said in surprise.

"Yes!" Zhang Wenqing nodded, "Although you are currently a traffic star, there are not many cases of using stand-ins during filming, and there are not many action scenes in this play, so this point does not have much impact on you." Zhang Wenqing continued, "But think about it, there are a few big traffic celebrities who don't need stand-ins now, and some of them even let stuntmen do the rehearsal and move positions for filming literary dramas." They listed this article, and there are a lot of traffic celebrities and actors who will offend. ”

"But the supplementary instructions that came from the people said that these requirements will be written in the contract in plain text, and there is no room for negotiation!" Zhang Wenqing continued, "The meaning of the people is obvious, if you can do it, you will come to the audition, and if you can't do it, don't delay everyone's time as soon as possible! Do you say they care about offending people and the popularity of the cast?"
