Chapter 12: Auditions
For a full quarter of an hour, Bai Su sat on a stool by the door, looking up at the sky outside at 45 degrees. Xiao Wang, on the other hand, leaned on the half-old table and looked down at the non-existent ants on the ground.
The two of them thought at the same time, why didn't Jiang Xiaoyin come back?
At this time, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Mom, this place can't be a lie, right?"
"It shouldn't be, the news released in the Actors' Guild Hall is all verified information. ”
"Tell me what kind of place this is? I think this place is a little panicked, so let's go. ”
After speaking, there was the sound of footsteps walking back.
Xiao Wang, who was arranged to watch the door, quickly got up and walked out, not daring to delay for a moment. lest after Jiang Xiaoyin comes back, he will have to chatter about him again.
But as soon as he reached the door, a voice took a step faster than him.
"Two eldest sisters, don't go!" was Jiang Xiaoyin's voice.
"Who's the eldest sister?"
"Well, it's wrong, it's two young ladies. Jiang Xiaojing hurriedly remedied it in an apologetic voice, "I'm sorry, I was confused by eye just now, and I didn't see it clearly." ”
Bai Su, who listened to Bai Su in the ear, was speechless for an instant. This man is really rough, I don't have to say it.
I heard Jiang Xiaoyin continue to say: "Come on, two young ladies, you didn't go to the wrong place, this is it." Let's sit inside for a while and take a break from tea. ”
This is like the sound of pimping, and even Xiao Wang, a good friend, is a little embarrassed to hear it.
The two probably hesitated, but followed Jiang Xiaoyin into the guest house.
These are two women in their 30s, one older and looking a little sharp. The other one was younger and looked a little rounded.
The two held each other's hands and glanced around the door first. The older one, when he saw such a shabby guest house, didn't say a word, turned around and wanted to leave. was gently dragged by the little one, and then he stayed patiently.
Seeing Bai Su sitting quietly on the side, he also raised his eyebrows, revealing an expression that seemed to see nursery.
"Xiao Wang, go get two more stools, let these two young ladies sit down, and pour two more cups of tea. ”
Xiao Wang gestured with his eyes: The tea is used up.
Jiang Xiaoyin coughed lightly twice, and turned his head: "Oh, it's early in the morning, and it's not good to drink tea, so let's pour two cups of boiled water for the young ladies!" ”
No one present was an idiot, and they all secretly rolled their eyes.
Even if this audition is not a scam, this is a crew that can't afford to invite people to tea.
Combined with the situation in this guest house, it was finally combined into two words: poor.
Bai Su only felt that he had recently become in a relationship with the poor god. No matter what the situation of the crew filming the public service announcement is, she doesn't want to wait for it any longer, and plans to make a quick decision and go straight to the point.
"You should be the director here. Bai Su faced Jiang Xiaoyin directly, and skipped Xiao Wang, who looked like a bamboo pole on the side.
"I am. Seeing Bai Su's calm gaze, Jiang Xiaoyin was also a little more serious, put away a somewhat exaggerated smile, and straightened the wrinkled suit on his body.
"You're looking for an actor, what do you ask for, how much is paid?"
"Yes, yes, don't fix those who don't, hurry up and get down to business. ”
Bai Su didn't pay attention to the old woman's interjection.
"Ahem, I want to find a heroine, the age requirement is not high, 18 to 30 years old, and the acting requirements are not high, but I want to be able to play a lame disabled person. ”
Several people present had no objection to this request.
"How do you count the money?" asked the old woman, with some urgency.
Bai Su frowned slightly and looked at the old woman. Although she is also concerned about this, this hurried appearance is really not very good-looking.
Jiang Xiaoyin didn't care, and only raised two fingers to compare.
"Twenty thousand?" the old woman suddenly became a little sharp, with joy.
“2000。 Jiang Xiaoyin said.
This is similar to what Bai Su guessed, and it doesn't look like he can give 20,000.
"It's only 2000?heroine?are you kidding?" the woman scoffed.
"No kidding, it's 2000. Jiang Xiaoyin paused and continued: "As you can see, the budget of our crew is not much. Basically, all the money is intended to be spent on the blade, so the actor's money is naturally less. ”
"Hehe, this is a joke, children can play by themselves!" said and hurried out, the younger one hesitated. was dragged by the big one and pulled out of the guest house.
Then the two walked away.
Jiang Xiaoyin took a sip of boiled water and sighed helplessly, it seems that it really doesn't work.
When he looked up and saw Bai Su still sitting on the side, he said with some surprise: "Why don't you leave?"
"How many days are you going to shoot?"
"It's almost a week. ”
Bai Su silently calculated in his heart, almost an average of nearly 300 per day, which was three times higher than the salary of Dang Long. And it's still a job to do every day, but it's not impossible to think about it.
When Jiang Xiaoyin heard Bai Su's question, he felt that there was a play, and his heart was instantly happy.
"What? Are you going to try it?"
"It's too low. Seeing the reaction of the two people just now, Bai Su felt that he could fight for something.
"I also know that the price is a bit low. But I can only give so much, and if I add more money, the later shooting will be affected. Jiang Xiaoyin smiled helplessly.
"Are you filming this public service announcement to participate in the competition?" Although it was a question, Bai Su's tone was firm.
"Yes. Jiang Xiaoyin was a little surprised, this was the first person who came to the interview so far to mention that he was going to compete.
"If I win, I'm going to get a share. ”
Jiang Xiaoyin was silent for a while.
"Yes, I'll take a stake in your technology, and if we win, remove all the costs, I'll give you five points, no bargaining. ”
"Okay, but my brother has to settle the accounts, and you have to issue invoices for all expenses. ”
"Okay, that's fine. ”
"Last but not least, you have to cover my round-trip fare and three meals a day. ”
Jiang Xiaoyin took a deep breath and glanced at Xiao Wang.
Jiang Xiaoyin: Have you met a master?
Xiao Wang: Well, play high!
"Okay, I've agreed to all of this, you don't have any other requirements, right?" Jiang Xiaoyin showed an expression that wanted to cry.
"It's gone. ”
"Then now it's my turn, after all that, you have to let me see your acting skills!"
Bai Su didn't speak, just silently pulled up the trouser leg of one of his feet.
Seeing most of the bruised feet, Jiang Xiaoyin and Xiao Wang gasped at the same time.
Xiao Wang: This girl is a ruthless person.
Jiang Xiaoyin: I actually hurt myself for a role.
Bai Su, who was watching from the side, wanted to roll his eyes, and guessed from the eyes of the two of them what the two sand sculptures were communicating?
"I just accidentally injured my foot some time ago, so there's nothing wrong with playing lame. Also, what do you need me to play?"
Jiang Xiaoyin took out the script and pointed to one of the paragraphs.
