Chapter 170: Brave New World
"Hello Director Zhou, I'm Luo Kai. ”
Luo Kai naturally stood in the spotlight and faced the huge lens as naturally.
and director Zhou Han.
Filming is a daily routine for him, and auditions are a piece of cake.
Although all of Luo Kai's experience as an actor is in another world, his instinct as an actor has long been deeply imprinted in his soul and can never be erased.
This kind of calm demeanor and temperament made Zhou Han's eyes light up, and he showed a little smile: "Hello." ”
At this moment, his assistant came over and handed over a thin piece of A4 printer paper.
This is Luo Kai's relevant information.
Custer Pictures invited Luo Kai to participate in the audition, of course, because he knew his information, and there was not much recorded on this printing paper, so Zhou Han read it at a glance.
Zhou Han remembered that Luo Kai was invited by the producer of "This World is So Beautiful", and he had also listened to several of Luo Kai's works, and he felt that it was more in line with the plot of the story, so he had no objection.
However, now that he saw Luo Kai's real person, his expression became strange.
As a director with more than ten years of experience, Zhou Han has seen too many actors, of course, newcomers and amateur actors.
But I've never seen anything like Luo Kai.
Before coming here, Luo Kai didn't have any performance experience, in fact, he only debuted as a singer for two months, and he is an out-and-out newcomer in the circle.
But the temperament that Zhou Han found in Luo Kai is completely inconsistent with such an identity.
Luo Kai did not have any problems and problems with the camera, and his calm eyes showed that he was not pretending to be calm, and his relaxed posture was not from ěi zhuāng.
Generally speaking, such a "fan" only appears on real old drama bones!
In addition, what made Zhou Han feel very inappropriate was that Luo Kai was too handsome.
That's right, being handsome is also a problem, because the audition role belongs to a supporting role, and it is not a match, which can easily cause a situation of dominance.
This is really...
Zhou Han was a little speechless.
"Director Zhou?"
Zhou Han was stunned for a long time, and his assistant couldn't help but whisper a reminder.
Zhou Han suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly said: "You are now a wandering singer performing in the underground passage, singing your own songs, just play as you like." ”
Under normal circumstances, Zhou Han might not give this role to Luo Kai, but now it is a special period, and when it is time to burn his eyebrows, he can't have too many ideas.
Otherwise, once he misses the New Year's file, he, the director, will not be able to explain to the company and investors.
"Okay. ”
Luo Kai nodded and sat down on the speaker.
This black speaker is more than half a meter high,It is the color commonly used by street singers,It comes with a lithium battery to support USB disk playback,It can accompany and amplify the sound with complete functions,And the price is not expensive。
Luo Kai is familiar.
He sat on it, leaned back against the wall naturally, and his whole temperament changed.
It's a little uninhibited, a little profligate, with that indescribable free and easy taste.
Reaching out and grabbing the guitar resting next to him, Luo Kai casually put it on his lap and briefly tried the sound.
I started playing and singing.
"When you get drunk, what else can you think about, it's pure love, it's fluttering sorrow. ”
"Don't say that you and I can't break free, as long as you close your eyes, you will be moved. ”
"Draw a sky with a rainbow, green trees, and warm wind..."
Well?
Zhou Han was a little confused, he had heard Luo Kai's songs before, but he had never heard what the latter was singing now.
What kind of song is this?
In fact, this question is not only Zhou Hanyou, but also Sun Hongwei and even Li Mengru and Zhang Bo.
They haven't heard of it either!
A new song.
And Luo Kai is completely unattended, and now he is a real underground singer, singing in the empty and uninhabited passage, whether there is an audience or not, and he sings spontaneously.
"There's a beautiful new world that awaits me in the distance. ”
"There are innocent children and girls' dimples. ”
"There's a beautiful new world that tells me to walk slowly, the waves it's always a **..."
"Don't stop and don't look back..."
Zhou Han suddenly straightened up, his expression became serious and focused, and he stared at Luo Kai as if he had seen something incredible.
"Who broke my dream, the river under the sun it doesn't stop. ”
The whole 5 minutes is completely Luo Kai's performance time.
He uses this song to tell about a dream, a dream of a brave new world, a beautiful dream that belongs to a wandering singer, a little lost and a little sad, but more of a longing and fantasy.
Even those who hear this song for the first time will be moved by the strong emotions contained in the song.
It was quiet in the studio.
Until the end of the singing.
Zhou Han was silent for a moment, and then asked, "What's the name of this song?"
He didn't even shout "click".
Luo Kai put down his guitar and smiled slightly: "Brave New World." ”
This song "Brave New World" is exactly the work he prepared for this audition.
If you want to do it, you will do your best, this is Luo Kai's life creed, although he has ready-made songs to choose from, but for this diàn yǐng, he can come up with more suitable works.
So why not?
In Luo Kai's memory, there are so many wonderful works to choose from, and for others it may take a rack of brains for inspiration, he just needs to move his fingers.
"Brave New World..."
Zhou Han retold the title of the song, his eyes were very complicated, excited, excited, shocked, stunned...
Nodding, the director asked, "If filming starts in the next two days, your schedule is fine, right?"
His meaning is very clear, this character is Luo Kai's!
Liu Xiaoxiao, who was standing on the edge of the corner at this moment, shook her head and left quietly with her assistant.
He was a little unconvinced before, so he stayed to watch Luo Kai's audition.
As a result, he found that he was a big step behind Luo Kai in all aspects, whether it was image, acting skills, playing, singing or works, he was crushed by Luo Kai.
If you don't accept it, Liu Xiaoxiao is really convinced.
No one noticed his departure, and everyone's attention was all on Luo Kai.
At this time, Luo Kai is the protagonist!
In response to Zhou Han's inquiry, Luo Kai replied very simply: "No problem." ”
He's here to be a firefighter.
Zhou Han was very satisfied, got up and said, "Then so be it." ”
He turned his head and whispered to his assistant, "The others don't have to try again, let's cancel the notice." ”
It's a waste of time to try again, Zhou Han doesn't think there can be a better choice than Luo Kai, and if he wants to say that Luo Kai has any shortcomings, that is, the appearance is too eye-catching.
You said that you are a singer-songwriter who lives on your talent, why do you look so stylish?
Let no one else live!
Zhou Han has the illusion of choosing a supporting role.
Actually, it's not a delusion.
The next thing doesn't need Zhou Han to take care of anymore, and Sun Hongwei and Li Mengru have negotiated.
Luo Kai's salary problem.
Zhang Bo also participated in the negotiations as a matter of course.
Because it was the first time to cooperate, Li Mengru and Zhang Bo did not have a lion's mouth, and Karst was also relatively cheerful, and the two sides reached an agreement before noon and signed the contract on the spot.
Luo Kai's salary for participating in "This World Is So Beautiful" is 00,000, and Castel Films paid another 200,000 to buy the film and television music copyrights of the two songs "Brave New World" and "Once You", a total of 500,000.
As a pure newcomer who has never played any role, even with the bonus of being a singer, the salary given by Castel Films is quite high.
The music copyright fees for the two songs are also very reasonable, and Luo Kai has no objections.
After signing the contract, Li Mengru originally wanted to invite Sun Hongwei and Zhou Han to have dinner together, but the two of them were busy with the reshoot, so they couldn't get out of the way at all, so they had to agree next time.
On the way back, Li Mengru couldn't help but ask Luo Kai: "You wrote this song in an hour?"
Luo Kai smiled and said, "Sort of." ”
Li Mengru found that she couldn't understand Luo Kai more and more.
