530. Audition (Part I)
Nie Wei has returned to China, so for this group of young men, the last link has been put in place to decide whether they can star in idol dramas. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Sure enough, someone from the company came to inform them early the next morning that they would go to the company for an audition tomorrow morning.
Although everyone had known for a long time that it was a matter of the past two days, when the time was determined, instead of settling down, they became more urgent, because after calculating, there was actually only one day to prepare.
As a result, everyone even shortened the rest time, and the eight big boys worked harder than the candidates before the college entrance examination, because this is the 'college entrance examination' they have to face.
Fortunately, there is no need to take a single-plank bridge in the midst of thousands of troops, because there are four places, and there are only nine competitors.
Among the nine people, Jing Boran is the most down-to-earth one.
As the other eight young men vaguely guessed in their hearts, Jing Boran had already been booked by Nie Wei as the leading actor.
This time is earlier than everyone imagined, and it was decided within a few days after Nie Wei came up to remake "Boys Over Flowers", so although Jing Boran will also participate in this audition, he is determined, so he will only go through a passing scene.
As for the rest of the eight people, Nie Wei didn't have any special likes and dislikes for someone, so the opportunities given to them were basically fair, anyway, who was capable, after all, these were all the new generation of blood making in Huayi.
The audition was scheduled for nine o'clock in the morning, but Nie Wei came to the company at half past seven.
Before entering the company, Nie Wei also saw twenty or thirty little fans downstairs, holding support cards and waiting there, including Jing Boran, Pu Bajia, and Li Yifeng.
Nie Wei, who saw this scene, was in a good mood, and having fans to support that was the right that only idols have, and now it seems that the talent show is not useless, at least these young men already have the foundation to be idols.
"Do you need to call those boys now and ask them to come over?" Seeing Nie Wei arrive so early, Luo Yuan was a little surprised, and then asked.
Nie Wei smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Wait for Brother Zhonglei, let's have a small meeting first, and Jing Boran and them will audition at the specified time." ”
"Understood. Luo Yuan nodded and continued to bury his head in his work.
The reason why she came earlier than Nie Wei was because she didn't go home at all last night, because Nie Wei gave her a new job, that is, the producer of the new TV series.
In the crew, if the director is the patriarch and the role of the father, then the producer is the housekeeper of the crew and the role of the mother.
The whole crew eats, drinks and lazar, all of which need to be managed by the producer, in addition to the sponsorship of the TV series, and even contacting the actors determined by the director, etc., this is a position that requires care and patience.
Nie Wei put Luo Yuan in this position, just to let her exercise and exercise, so as to be mentally prepared for the future appreciation of the deputy general manager.
Luo Yuan also knows, so she is very serious, just hoping to come up with a good result, at least she can't let Nie Wei be gossiped about in personnel appointments, and Luo Yuan doesn't allow herself not to be angry, in that case, she also understands that she will be poked in the backbone when she gets a position, so it is better not to be promoted.
Nie Wei also officially took a fancy to her ambitious but also responsible and energetic attitude, so he was willing to promote her to the position, otherwise it would be obviously impossible to rely on human relationships alone.
If it were just based on favors, Nie Wei's agent Luo Kai would have become a senior member of the company by now, and he would not be just Nie Wei's exclusive agent like now, and he would only be the deputy director of the short broker department in the company.
The two of them are doing their own things, Luo Yuan is calculating the budget of the crew, while Nie Wei is looking at the modeling designs of several heroes and heroines he made when he was in Jeju Island, and is ready to take them out and discuss them with Wang Zhonglei later.
At eight o'clock, Wang Zhonglei came to the company, and then came directly to the conference room after being notified.
"Mr. Wang. Luo Yuan got up and politely greeted Wang Zhonglei.
Nie Wei also stood up, waved his hand at Wang Zhonglei, and said, "Brother Zhonglei, I'm waiting for you to discuss things." While speaking, Nie Wei told him about the character modeling and script outline of this idol drama.
Wang Zhonglei sat next to Nie Wei and looked at the information that Nie Wei handed him seriously.
"Doesn't the look match the comics?"
"Why does it have to be consistent with comics?" Nie Wei asked strangely: "Comics are comics, TV series are TV series, as long as you grasp the characteristics of the characters, it is not better than relying on comics for everything, but it will fall into success, although we are going to adapt, but at least we must have our own characteristics and their own plot, it is not appropriate to blindly copy it." ”
Nie Wei's explanation Wang Zhonglei nodded directly after hearing it, he actually didn't want to interfere in the crew's affairs at all, cooperating with Nie Wei over the years has taught him one thing, professional things are left to professional people.
"Luo Yuan, how is the sponsorship going?" It has been two or three days since he and Nie Wei released the news, and he also thinks that those brands should take action.
"There is not much progress in clothing, because Mr. Nie has not revealed the news about clothing, but there will definitely be a big progress after today, as for other aspects, several domestic brands of automobile companies are very interested in our TV series, but those international brands of car dealers do not pay much attention to us. ”
Luo Yuan has actually beautified this matter, and those high-end car dealers have no interest in her idol drama at all, and they are afraid of lowering their cars, which really makes Luo Yuan angry enough.
It's just that although Luo Yuan didn't explain, Wang Zhonglei could also guess the faces of those guys.
In fact, now Huayi Company can pull the advertising fees of those high-end car dealers, and it is estimated that only Nie Wei can make a move, but it is a little too cheap to act in this kind of idol drama as Nie Wei, so this matter can only be counted for the time being.
"There are still a few luxury cars in the company's garage, and when the time comes, I will put the car on the marker and lend it to your crew. Wang Zhonglei said.
"I still have a Porsche 911 parked at home, and I will lend it to your crew when the time comes, remember to keep it for me. Nie Wei also said on the side.
When Luo Yuan heard that the car had fallen, she immediately smiled.
After all, she has also read this comic, and it is about some wealthy families, and the wealthy must have a luxury car, otherwise when the audience watches TV, they find that the male protagonist who claims to have family assets of 10 billion goes out to do Xiali, isn't that laughing at other people's big teeth?
At that time, Luo Yuan, as a producer, will definitely be crowned as 'incompetent', and will also become the object of ridicule in the circle, after all, what grade of props the crew uses, in the final analysis, depends on the producer's ability.
If it weren't for the fact that Luo Yuan and Nie Wei were very familiar with each other, Wang Zhonglei would not have borrowed a luxury car like this, after all, as long as a luxury car is used, it will lose value, and Nie Wei's willingness to lend Porsche is also the same reason, in the final analysis, it is all about human relationships, not to mention that Luo Yuan is still the producer he pushed out, so he naturally wants to support it.
If you don't need a scooter on weekdays, Nie Wei can lend Luo Yuan the Mercedes-Benz G he is driving now.
Luo Yuan is not dissatisfied, the company's car plus Nie Wei's Porsche, it is enough for filming, although these cars cannot be regarded as real top luxury cars, it is still difficult to match the families of the characters in the play, but in the eyes of the people, it is enough to be a luxury car, at least enough for filming TV series.
There were two bigwigs in front of him, and Luo Yuan also reported the difficulties sorted out one by one.
If it can be handled, Wang Zhonglei and Nie Wei will deal with it in person, and if they can't deal with it, they will be put aside for the time being, anyway, it will take at least more than a month for the crew to prepare, and some will have time to solve these problems.
Before I knew it, it was almost nine o'clock, and in the corridor outside the conference room, nine big boys had been waiting for a long time.
Among them, the earliest arrived at half past eight, and the latest came to the company at eight or forty, no one really dared to step on the point, come early, at least avoid the trouble of being late, and maybe leave a good impression on a few audition bosses.
But what disappointed them was that this group of bigwigs came earlier than them, and they had been discussing something in the conference room, and they didn't come out to see them during this time, only a few staff members hurriedly walked into the conference room, and then never came out again.
It seemed to be very busy inside, and some people even thought to themselves that nine o'clock might not be able to start, and at nine o'clock, someone immediately came to inform them that they were preparing for the interview.
"It's finally going to start, so nervous. Zhang Chao muttered to Li Yifeng, who was in front of him.
It's not that he wants Li Yifeng to answer him anything, but he just feels that if he doesn't say that, the nervousness in his heart can't be expressed.
Li Yifeng was also nervous in his heart, but he didn't show it when he didn't usually have much expression, but he couldn't help frowning when he was muttered by Zhang Chao behind him, Zhang Chao's nagging obviously affected him, but as a friend, he was embarrassed to let Zhang Chao shut up.
At this time, Pu Bajia was at the top of the line, but he was not the first to enter the house, because before him, Jing Boran was called in first.
This made his bad thoughts more and more affirmed, but he always retained a trace of expectation in his heart, which is also the actor's trouble, after all, anyone who has seen this comic adaptation of the TV series understands that the actor is really the existence of whoever plays it.
"Fight, you must fight!" Pu Bajia was secretly ruthless in his heart, such a good opportunity was in front of him, even if he knew that the enemy was strong, he had to try to fight for it, and the most important thing was that Nie Wei gave them two chances, which also gave them more confidence in their hearts.
While the big boys outside were worried and looking forward to it, Jing Boran in the room seemed much calmer.
Jing Boran made a brief self-introduction after standing still.
"My name is Jing Boran, I am seventeen years old this year, I am one meter eighty-one tall, and I want to audition for the role of Daoming Temple Division this time. ”
"The young man is very ambitious. Wang Zhonglei said with a smile.
"Mr. Wang, I am very self-motivated, and a star who is not self-motivated will definitely not be promising. Jing Boran replied, and he played a clever trick, replacing the not-so-nice ambition with self-motivation, but in fact, it all means the same thing.
"Who taught you this?" Wang Zhonglei glanced at Nie Wei when he asked.
"No one taught, I figured it out in the crew. Jing Boran scratched the back of his head, smiled, and replied.
Without waiting for Wang Zhonglei and Jing Boran to continue chatting, Nie Wei asked directly at this time: "There is ice water, milk, red wine, drinks and coffee over there, you choose the same." ”
"The wine bar. Jing Boran replied after a slight hesitation.
"Reason. Luo Yuan asked on the side.
"I think among several drinks, red wine is the most attached to the identity of Daoming Temple, and the wealthy wine parties are not all drinking red wine and champagne or something. ”
Nie Wei didn't answer him, but continued to throw out questions for Jing Boran to answer.
In the end, he asked Jing Boran to pose and read a few lines, and then asked him to leave and go back to wait for news.
Soon, the second Pu Bajia was also called in, and Wang Zhonglei, Nie Wei and others basically asked roughly the same questions.
Just came in one by one in order, until the last Ma Tianyu came out of the house, everyone auditioned, and the total time was less than an hour.
A group of big boys were all arranged into the lounge after the audition, waiting for the news of the audition, and the staff had already come to inform them just now, and after the discussion there, the results would be announced directly.
"Li Yifeng, which drink do you choose?" In a corner of the lounge, Jing Boran, Li Yifeng and Zhang Chao got together again, and as soon as Zhang Chao's interview ended, he immediately asked Li Yifeng about his choice.
"I chose milk. Li Yifeng replied, and then asked Zhang Chao what he chose.
"Shouldn't the red wine I choose be red wine for the aristocracy?Jing Bao, what about you?" Zhang Chao explained, as if this could give him confidence, and then he didn't forget to ask Jing Boran on the side what he chose.
"I also chose the red wine. Jing Boran replied calmly.
When Zhang Chao heard this answer, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, he felt that Jing Boran must be from the background, and he chose himself, so his chances of success may be relatively large.
But Li Yifeng on the side didn't think so, she always felt that Nie Wei asked them to choose those drinks, it must be meaningful, and it would be better to choose different ones at this time, and if she chose to go with Jing Boran, it might be a little unlucky.
Not only Zhang Chao and Jing Boran were discussing, but the rest of the small circles were also exchanging answers with each other, wanting to guess the secret, and time gradually passed with their discussion, until Luo Yuan walked into the lounge half an hour later, and the originally noisy room suddenly quieted down.
Luo Yuan glanced at everyone present, and finally fixed his gaze on Jing Boran's face.
