In the two days after Zhao Rui and Lin Qisan's audition, neither of them contacted Xiao Yao to ask about the situation, but on the third day after the audition, Xiao Yao received a call from Lin Qisan. On the phone, Lin Qisan asked him if he was free at night, and said that he would go to Xiao Yao's residence with Zhao Rui to find him at night.

At present, the role audition is still in progress, but the administrative staff of the crew will contact each other immediately to sign the contract after the role actor is confirmed, and it is not until all the actors sign the contract together after the audition is over.

Yesterday, Zhao Rui and Lin Qisan auditioned for the two roles of the candidates, all of whom auditioned, and neither of them was Chen Jun's first choice. After the crew negotiated contracts with the two actors this morning, both actors have signed contracts with the crew. After the actors for these two roles are signed, the crew notifies the other auditioning actors for the two roles. Now that Lin Qisan is calling, he obviously knows the news of their defeat.

Xiao Yao and director Chen Jun audition during the day these days, and discuss the audition situation at night to decide the actor of the role. Although I have work at night, it is not a long time, basically two or three hours every night, and it ends at about ten o'clock. The filming location of this drama is in Shencheng, and the audition is also held in Shencheng. It hasn't been turned on yet, and Xiao Yao hasn't joined the group, so during this time, he will naturally go back to his residence in Shencheng every night.

Xiao Yao's residence in Shencheng is still the loft converted from a warehouse, Zhao Rui and Lin Qisan have been here many times, and they don't need Xiao Yao to pick up anything. Xiao Yao guessed that they were looking for themselves because of the audition, but Lin Qisan didn't say it on the phone, so Xiao Yao didn't mention it, just agreed, and said it in person when they came at night.

Not long after Xiao Yao returned to his residence in the evening, Zhao Rui and Lin Qisan came, and not only the two of them came, but Zhu Zitong and Nina Aiyiguli also came.

During this time, Sun Tingting's main thing at hand was the dance reality show of Donghai Satellite TV. At present, the two sides have almost talked, Sun Tingting is basically confirmed to become the star guest of that show, and is currently practicing physical exercise and basic dance skills to prepare for that show. That program was a program of Donghai Satellite TV, which was recorded in Shencheng. Xiao Yao has a place to live in Shencheng and his own studio practice room, and Sun Tingting has no shortage of places to live and practice, so naturally she stayed in Shencheng and lived with Xiao Yao.

When Zhao Rui and the other four came, it was not early, and Sun Tingting had already returned from the day's practice. In addition to Zhou Zhihao, who is usually absent, the six shareholders of the young film and television company once again gathered at Xiao Yao's residence.

At Xiao Yao's residence, Sun Tingting already looked like a hostess. After the four of them entered the door, Xiao Yao directly beckoned the four of them to sit on the sofa in the living room, and Sun Tingting ran to bring drinks and snacks and put them on the coffee table to entertain guests, and then sat down next to Xiao Yao.

"What's the matter?Why did Master Xing ask for guilt?Why did you still bring the two of them with you?" After sitting down on the sofa in the living room, Xiao Yao looked at Zhao Rui and Lin Qisan and asked.

"Weak heart?" Lin Qisan looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Say, are you still getting in the way?"

"Let's say okay, the choice of actors is left to the director. Xiao Yao said, "Director Chen didn't choose you, you can't blame me, right? If you don't believe it, you can ask Director Chen Jun to see if I got in the way!"

"What?" Sun Tingting on the side said with some surprise, "I think Shi and San'er's acting skills should be fine, why were they not selected by that Director Chen?"

Although Sun Tingting has also been in Shencheng during this time, because she did not participate in that project, her understanding of the project is also very limited. During this time, she was busy with dance reality shows, and she went to exercise her physical fitness and dance during the day, and she didn't even go to the casting studio to watch Xiao Yao audition. She knew that Zhao Rui and Lin Qisan were going to audition for roles in this project, but she didn't know that the two were defeated. Xiao Yao didn't tell her after he came back last night.

"Director Chen didn't choose them, naturally he had his reasons!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"Then tell me, why did Director Chen not choose us?" Lin Qisan asked again, "What are we not suitable for?"

"You should also ask Director Chen about this!" Xiao Yao said.

"We were embarrassed to ask Director Chen. Zhao Rui said, "The candidate is decided by the two of you together, we don't believe you don't know, you tell us it's the same!"

"Okay!" Xiao Yao nodded and said to Zhao Rui and Lin Qisan, "The problem of both of you is not in your acting skills, but mainly in your appearance. ”

"In terms of appearance, what's wrong with our appearance? I think it's quite suitable!" Lin Qisan said.

"Let's talk about the stone first," Xiao Yao looked at Zhao Rui and said, "The role you auditioned for is the protagonist's colleague and partner." It was an IT man who was in the entrepreneurial stage, and he was not a successful person. People in the entrepreneurial period are very hard, often stay up late, whether it is body type or temperament, they should be thinner, but your body is too burly, and the temperament of the whole person is also hard, at least not like an IT man in the entrepreneurial period. ”

"Of course, in terms of acting skills, you don't have much of a problem, and the image and temperament of the whole person can't be changed," Xiao Yao added, "The director means that if you have no other choice, he can give you that role, but the premise is that you have to lose weight." You know, it takes time to lose weight. The director felt that there were not many roles in this role, and it was not that there were no other suitable candidates, so there was no need for you to lose weight for such a role, so he chose someone else. ”

"Okay, I'll accept it!" Zhao Rui thought for a moment and nodded.

"As for you," Xiao Yao looked at Lin Qisan, "First, you are too beautiful, if I choose you, I will steal the limelight from me!"

"What? What is the reason for this?" Lin Qisan said dissatisfiedly, "I used to play most of the supporting roles, I acted with Shi and Xu Fei, and I also acted with you, why didn't anyone say that I was too handsome to steal the limelight of the protagonist at that time?"

"Also, I'm called handsome, not pretty!" Lin Qisan didn't forget to add at the end.

"I didn't say it, the director said it!" Xiao Yao smiled, "Of course, this is not the director's original words. I think you're too beautiful," Xiao Yao saw Lin Qisan glaring at him, and changed his words, "No, it's too handsome, that's my understanding." What he told me was that the acting was good, but it felt a little wrong to watch! That's all I know, if you really want to know the specific reason, you should ask Director Chen!"

"Forget it," Zhao Rui comforted Lin Qisan, "The director's selection of people is originally a very subjective matter. The director feels wrong when he sees an actor play a role, but he can't say what is wrong, and we haven't seen it before. ”

"Besides, we can't act in this drama, isn't there any other choice?" Zhao Rui continued.

"Other options?, have you been given roles for other projects?" Xiao Yao asked.

"We are not taking on the role of other projects," Zhao Rui said, "we are going to start our own projects!"

"Start your own project?" Xiao Yao asked, "We young people start a film and television project?"

"Yes!" Lin Qisan nodded, "Do you remember that at the company's annual meeting at the end of last year, I watched a movie with you, and had the idea of making it into a TV series?"

"Tan Meixiang?" Xiao Yao asked with a smile.

"Go! you remember that word!" Lin Qisan glanced at Xiao Yao.

"But I remember that you said at the time that there is no role in it that is particularly suitable for you and makes you especially want to play?" Xiao Yao laughed and asked strangely, "Also, I also remember that you all said that you don't want to change roles such as director and producer behind the scenes for the time being, Shi only wants to be the action director, and you only want to be the art department." You don't play roles, you don't do directing and producing, you don't want the company to open a project just for action direction and art, right? Of course, it's not impossible, but this shouldn't be another option for you to not be able to act in this show, right?"

"I'll go, your memory is really good!" Lin Qisan shook his head and sighed, then shook his head and said, "The project we wanted to open was not what I saw at that time. Some time ago,I watched it again.,It can be regarded as a double male master.,One is a university professor.,The other one's profession is a field agent or something.,I think it's just right for me and the stone.。 Some time ago, I also recommended that book to the stone, and the stone also thought it was good. ”

"We both discussed it. Zhao Rui said, "We want to adapt this into a TV series, and the two of us will play two male leads." We young people want to start a project, and the company needs to discuss and approve it, so we are here to discuss with you the possibility of this project today!"

The so-called company discussion is passed, and the normal process is a joint discussion between the shareholders and senior management of the film and television company. Of course, as the boss of the company, several shareholders have the final say. As long as a few shareholders agree, even if the management side opposes it, it will not play a big role.

In Zhao Rui and Lin Qisan's view, this project is risky, so before discussing it with the company, they want to communicate with Xiao Yao and obtain the support of Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting. In this way, even if there are concerns on the part of the management, the project can be forcibly approved. As for Zhou Zhihao, this time can be ignored. Anyway, he had already said that he would not participate in any project decision-making of the company, on the grounds that he was an athlete, not in the entertainment industry, and he would not express his opinion, just wait for the company's dividends at the end of the year.

"The two male protagonists are also Tanmeixiang?" Xiao Yao smiled and said the concerns of the two, turned his head and asked Zhu Zitong and Nina Aiyiguli, "You two come over together, you just agree." The two of them are going to act in a TV series adapted from Tan Meiwen, and the two of you have no opinion?"

"No opinion!" Zhu Zitong said with a smile, "Anyway, there can't be any large-scale drama, at most it's just mental." ”

"We're okay, we're looking forward to it!" said Nina Aiyiguli.

"Get out, don't talk about those who don't," Lin Qisan waved his hand to interrupt Xiao Yao, "We'll tell you the name, take a look at it when you have time during this time, and then give us a reply to see if this project can be done!"

"No need," Xiao Yao shook his head, "You just tell me, is that one popular on the Internet?"

"Of course it's hot!" Lin Qisan said, "We are not the kind of people who are very idle and online all day long. What I can find out is, of course, very hot. ”

"Then shoot!" Xiao Yao said, "But I don't participate in this project, you two do it yourself!"

"We didn't expect you to participate in this project again," Lin Qisan said, "But you haven't even seen it, so you made such a hasty decision?"

"If you lose, we can't afford to lose!" Xiao Yao said, "If it has nothing to do with you, then the project will naturally have to be reviewed well." It's rare that the two of you want to star in a drama together, Zitong and Nina also support it, so what else do we have to hesitate about. Didn't we start this company in partnership just to make it easier for us to film freely? And not purely to make money! Besides, you said that it was very popular, so there must be a lot of fans of the original book. If we shoot it, no one should watch it, and even if we lose, it shouldn't be a big loss, right?"

"This is not necessarily!" Lin Qisan said, "That one is Tan Meixiang, and the TV station probably has no hope, and it is estimated that it can only be made into an online drama." But that one is not only Tan Meixiang, but also an urban fantasy theme, if it is really a TV series, there are many places that need to do special effects, and there are many special effects, so the production cost is not low. Online dramas can only be broadcast online, and there is no TV station, so it's hard to say what the result is!"

"It's fine. Xiao Yao said, "As an online drama, it is enough to have the two of you in the actors, and in terms of supporting roles, you can find fewer big-name actors, haven't we always done this? Mr. Tong's special effects company is now considered to be the top level in China, and they can be found to do it. I have such a good relationship with him, and I am still a shareholder of his company, so I can talk to him well. It's really not good, let them invest in technology and be a co-producer, anyway, Teacher Tong's company is not short of money now. ”

"By the way, how did I forget Mr. Tong's company!" Lin Qisan slapped his thigh.

"Also, since it's an online drama, it's not a multi-platform broadcast, so let the video website also participate, so that our capital investment and risk are actually not so high. Xiao Yao said, "At present, the most wealthy is Haiyan Video, I have cooperated with them a lot of times, and the relationship is also good." Why don't you find them? Let them co-produce it too!"

"Are you going to help us talk to them?" Lin Qisan asked, "Or let's talk to them under your banner?"

"This is our young people's film and television project," Xiao Yao said, "Who are the young people's shareholders, what is your relationship with me, who doesn't know?

"Duo'er, what is your opinion?" Zhao Rui turned his head and asked Sun Tingting.

"I have no opinion!" Sun Tingting smiled, "Agreed!"

"Okay, then it's decided!" Zhao Rui said, "Let's contact the author to buy the copyright first, and then find someone to make a budget." We'll send it to you when it's ready!"

"No need," Xiao Yao said, "Whether the project is done or not is up to a few of us, but how to operate it still depends on the bosses of various departments of the company, they are professionals, you can do it with them." ”

"Okay, then we won't trouble you!" Zhao Rui nodded.

"Wait," Xiao Yao said again, "since you are all planning to do this project, why do you still want to participate in my audition for this show? What if you audition successfully? Or did you not really plan to play those two roles in this show in the first place, and the audition was just for fun?"

"Of course not. Lin Qisan said, "It's not for you, I really want to act with Sister Xi! Of course, we really want to do this project." However, project preparation also takes time, and the two are not in conflict. If we pass the audition this time, then we will hand over all the preparatory work for our TV drama project to others, and after the filming of this drama is over, the two of us can almost go directly to the filming of that drama. In case we don't pass the audition, we will be more involved in the preparation of this project. ”

"San'er is not, I'm right!" Zhao Rui smiled, "My role is so small, I do have the mentality of trying it out, and my willingness is not so strong." San'er really wants to play the role of Sheng Wen, and I mainly want to accompany him! If San'er joins the group to act, then I'm not the only one busy with the preparatory work for this play? This was originally San'er's first fancy to make it into a TV series. I don't want San'er to act in the crew, but I'm busy outside. ”

"What if San'er's audition is over, but you don't pass the audition?" Sun Tingting asked with a smile, "Isn't it still that you're busy with your drama alone?"

"In that case, I can only admit it!" Zhao Rui said with a smile, "But I think that if the director takes into account our relationship with Bayi, both of us will definitely be able to get the role through the audition, and if the director doesn't consider other factors, if I don't pass the audition, San'er is not very likely to pass the audition." ”
