Chapter 005: Start Again
After all, Li Mo still couldn't sleep in the first house of his own in two lifetimes and woke up naturally.
But this is not Zong Shuai's pot, it is purely because he is worried that he will miss the audition the next morning, and he will toss and turn all night and not sleep well......
It's also funny to say, Li Mo also served as an assistant director and casting director for many film and television works in his previous life, and he personally directed movies before he was reborn.
But last night was the first time in two lifetimes combined, and I couldn't sleep because of 'being auditioned'......
At 9 o'clock in the morning, Zong Shuai appeared at the door of Li Mo's house on time.
Because when I came back yesterday, I didn't ask about the audition role, and I just searched for a long time in my memory and found nothing, so Li Mo didn't know what to prepare, just found a light-colored casual suit in the wardrobe and put it on, and asked about the relevant situation in detail on the way to prepare.
The two got into the car, and Zong Shuai drove off.
Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar streets outside the window, the promotional posters of the Magic City Expo that had just passed were still shining in the winter sun, and the houses dyed golden by the morning sun constituted a beautiful picture in Li Mo's sight.
All of this is telling Li Mo in its own way: this is the magic capital, a city full of opportunities and challenges.
Li Mo took a deep breath, reluctantly retracted his gaze from the window, and re-landed on the script spread out on his knees.
He hadn't read the script at all last night, and he didn't have any fragments of it in his memory, so he had to hurry up and finish the work. Otherwise, today's audition interview is probably over.
For Li Mo, Zong Shuai really gave him a big surprise this time, because the movie he was going to audition for was called "Global Love".
The surprise here is not because of how good the quality of this film is, or how big a wave it has made, but because the investor of this drama is HY Brothers.
Before Li Mo succeeded in his previous life, he also spent a lot of effort studying several major private film and television companies in China, and the HY brothers are naturally no exception.
All in all, in 2011, the HY brothers can be regarded as one of the few film and television companies in China, and for Li Mo now, if he can participate in the HY brothers' movies, it can be regarded as a good start.
Global Love is a sequel movie.
The first part of "Love in the City" is also a route of piling up stars and cooperating with HK background companies.
The whole story tells several emotional stories that happened before people from different walks of life in a city, and the main audience was urban white-collar workers, and it achieved a box office score of 130 million when it was released. As an urban romance movie, although HY has announced the final investment amount, it is more or less mixed with water.
After all, the investment quota of this kind of co-production project has always been the result of entanglement of interests.
According to Li Mo's estimate, HY's actual total investment in it should not exceed 30 million, and if you count the patch advertisements sold in the early stage, at least 70% of the investment has been recovered before the film is released, that is to say, the HY brothers have made a net profit of at least 60 million on this movie.
As a film with a shooting period of less than 50 days, this output ratio is quite satisfactory.
Under this premise, the filming of the sequel is naturally a logical thing. However, Li Mo got a message from Zong Shuai, as one of the leading actors in the previous work, Jing Boran was rumored to have resigned from the sequel some time ago, so there was Li Mo's audition today.
In the script setting of "Global Love", Jing Boran's character is called Wen Feng, and his identity is a talented poor boy.
This character is honest, sunny and handsome, and similar to Li Mo's real age, as a third male, the acting requirements will not be too high, that is to say, Zong Shuai completely hopes that through this role, Li Mo will have a sense of existence.
But it is precisely such a simple request, and now Li Mo has no confidence in himself at all.
Before the crossing, although Li Mo had experience working in the crew, most of the time he was just a behind-the-scenes person, at most, when he was serving as a martial arts instructor or action director, he made a cameo appearance to play a role like bandit A and bandit B.
But now, raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, the only thing Li Mo can do is to read the script very seriously, and conceive in his mind how he should play this role.
At no time did he like the feeling of failure.
Zong Shuai drove the car at a uniform speed, all the way towards the X2 Creative Park located at No. 1238 Xietu Road, looking at Li Mo who was sitting in the passenger seat and reading the script carefully, he felt a little surprised.
For some reason, although Zong Shuai has been Li Mo's agent for almost a year, more often than not, he just helps him deal with some contracts and life affairs, and most of the specific acting affairs are still introduced by school teachers or contacted by magazines and crews he has cooperated with before, and this audition is the first time that Zong Shuai has used his connections to help Li Mo find a suitable role.
In the past period of contact, Li Mo left an impression on Zong Shuai basically eight words: no goal, get by.
In Zong Shuai's opinion, although Li Mo's appearance conditions are excellent, and he also has the teaching of the Modu Drama Academy, his mind is not completely spent on planning and building his own acting career.
Although I have a lot of experience in film and television dramas in the past few years in college, I have never had a long-term goal, and I have always responded to my persuasion in person, and I forgot about it when I turned my head, plus the bad thing that came out some time ago, to be honest, if it wasn't for the kid next to me who helped him by mistake, Zong Shuai really wanted to pick on his son and leave.
But judging from this kid's performance last night, it wasn't that things didn't benefit at all last time, at least he seemed to be starting to change a little.
Now, let's just hope that change continues... Boy, you're in the same boat right now.
With this in mind, Zong Shuai drove the car into the parking lot outside Building 6 of X2 Creative Park.
Li Mo opened the car door and left the passenger seat, standing at the door of the building and moving his legs and feet, since he came here last night, it has not even been twelve hours, Li Mo still has no way to fully adapt himself to the new life of this time and space.
However, Li Mo found that there seemed to be a little more people coming and going around, and it stands to reason that there should not be so many people working overtime in the creative park on Sunday. Moreover, even if it is overtime, the proportion of handsome men and beautiful women seems to be too high.
What's going on?
