Chapter 169: Pie-dropping
"Dream Media has no business connection with Custer Films..."
In the general manager's office, Li Mengru said to Luo Kai: "I don't know anyone from Custer either, but just yesterday, a production manager of Custer Pictures approached me and hoped that you would play Xie He." ”
Xie He is the supporting actor in the second love story in the movie "This World Is So Beautiful", and he has a rivalry with the first female supporting role, that is, the heroine's best friend Wang Li in the story.
Although there are not many scenes in this role, it plays a very important role, Xie He's identity is a wandering singer, Xiao Lu's image and temperament are very in line with the character design, and all the shots have been filmed.
It is worth mentioning that this is Xiao Lu's first "electrocution", and his performance is very good, but it turns out that Custer Pictures is alive.
Castel Films is not a top film and television company in the circle, and it took a lot of effort to invest in the production of this movie.
Luo Kai was a little curious: "Why did they choose me to be a firefighter?"
That's right, the current Luo Kai is used as a firefighter by Custer Films to save this tragic movie.
The investment in "This World is So Beautiful" is not a lot, and it has reached 50 million, even if it is a firefighting role, there are definitely a lot of actors in the circle who rush to ask for it.
Luo Kai is a little famous in the pop music world, but he has nothing to do with the film and television industry, and it stands to reason that Castel Films should choose that kind of experienced actor to save the scene.
What they need most is time, and newcomers who have never acted will waste the most time.
"This role needs a singer of your type..."
Li Mengru explained: "They don't have a better choice in a short period of time, and of course you are not the only choice, you have to pass their audition first. ”
"So now, it's up to you. ”
Make a movie...
At this moment, Luo Kai's heart was really full of feelings, and the scenes of the reborn world flashed in his mind, making him suddenly lose his mind for 3 seconds.
After thinking about it, Luo Kai asked, "How much is the salary?"
Li Mengru's expression is a little strange - if it is another rookie singer, if he has the opportunity to play an important supporting role in the movie like this, where will he care about the salary, he will agree to it first.
In the entertainment industry, the status of an actor is higher than that of a singer.
But she couldn't answer Luo Kai's question: "The salary is not discussed, the main thing is an intention, usually you have to pass the audition first, and they also need the copyright of your two works." ”
Luo Kai's original several excellent works are also one of the important reasons why Custer Films took the initiative to find him, otherwise there are really not too many singers with low-level experience in the circle.
Luo Kai said: "Okay, let's try it first." ”
In fact, Luo Kai didn't care much about this opportunity, but Li Mengru obviously hoped that he could win this role, and besides, making a movie could also improve his popularity and coffee position, so he still agreed.
"Good..."
Li Mengru smiled: "Then I'll contact Manager Sun of Custer now and arrange an audition." ”
As she spoke, she picked up the phone and dialed the other party's number directly.
After the phone was connected, Li Mengru talked to Manager Sun for a few words, and then covered the phone and asked Luo Kai: "Is it okay to go over in the morning?" ”
Luo Kai said: "Give me an hour, I need to prepare." ”
Although Li Mengru didn't know what Luo Kai was going to prepare, she still discussed with the other party according to Luo Kai's request.
The communication between the two sides was smooth, and the audition time was set at 10 o'clock in the morning, and the place was at the Yanjing Film and Television Base.
"That's okay..."
Since he agreed, Luo Kai was very refreshing: "I'll go back and prepare." ”
Leaving the general manager's office, he came to his studio and talked to Zhang Bo first.
Zhang Bo was happy when he heard it: "Haha, is this a pie in the sky?"
Luo Kai smiled, sat down at his workbench, and opened the composition software on the computer.
After 1 hour, it's time to call it a day!
He called Li Mengru, and then called Zhang Bo to go to Yanjing Film and Television Base together.
Originally, Li Mengru, the general manager, was not required to audition, but she attached great importance to this cooperation with Custer Films, so she personally accompanied Luo Kai to the past.
Yanjing Film and Television Base, also known as Yanjing Film and Television City, is one of the four major film and television bases in China, with a strong scale and strength, and there are multiple crews shooting film and television dramas at the same time in it all year round.
The Yanjing Film and Television Base also has a number of film and television production units, and the temporary audition for Castel Film is arranged in one of the studios.
When Luo Kai and Li Mengru arrived, it was not yet 10 o'clock.
"Mr. Li!"
They were greeted by a middle-aged man with a capable temperament, Sun Hongwei, the production manager of Castel Films.
"Welcome, welcome..."
After greeting Li Mengru, his eyes fell on Luo Kai's body: "Compared to this, it must be Teacher Luo Kailuo, look up for a long time!"
Sun Hongwei stretched out his hand to Luo Kai very enthusiastically: "I'm your fan!"
Although he knew that he was saying kind words, such an attitude was still very comfortable, Luo Kai shook his hand with a smile: "Don't dare to be, Manager Sun is too polite." ”
Sun Hongwei said: "Let's go inside and talk. ”
Under his leadership, the group entered the studio.
There are many studios in the Yanjing Film and Television Base, mainly used to shoot indoor scenes, and now the production of film and television dramas is becoming more and more specialized, and the outsourcing of detailed division of labor has become the mainstream.
There is a saying in the circle that as long as you have enough money, even if you don't know anything about this industry, it is simple to buy a script and pull up a team, and all aspects of shooting, production, post-production, publicity, and release can be entrusted to others.
Of course, those who really do this are often so bad that they can't touch the north, and the water in this line is deep!
As Li Mengru said before, Luo Kai is not the only choice for Caster Films, when they enter the studio, there are people auditioning inside.
Originally, according to the normal audition procedures, there should not be such a situation, usually after trying one and then entering the other, it will not be said that the participants in the audition can still see others audition for the same role.
But Custer Films obviously didn't care about any procedures, and the director sat next to the camera, staring solemnly at the singer sitting on the speaker in front of him.
"That's our Zhou Han Zhou guide..."
Sun Hongwei lowered his voice and said to Luo Kai and the others: "This one will be tried soon, please wait for a while." ”
Luo Kai and Li Mengru nodded, standing on the edge of the corner with great interest.
The singer is holding the guitar and playing and singing a folk song, and his playing and singing skills are still good, but he is obviously a little nervous in the spotlight and in front of the camera, and actually plays a few wrong notes.
And he also looked at the camera unconsciously several times, obviously lacking experience in acting.
This is a common mistake made by amateur actors.
"He is Liu Xiaoxiao, a folk singer, who has released an album..."
Zhang Bo recognized the other party and whispered to Luo Kai: "I have heard a few of his songs. ”
Luo Kai nodded.
He wasn't optimistic about the contender.
"Click!"
Regarding Liu Xiaoxiao's performance, Director Zhou Hanzhou was very dissatisfied, and directly shouted to stop: "That's it." ”
Liu Xiaoxiao also knew that her performance was not good, so she scratched her head and stood up, looking helpless.
An assistant-looking man hurried over and took him aside.
Everyone knows that Liu Xiaoxiao must be out of play.
Zhou Han didn't pay attention to him, turned his head and asked the assistant beside him, "Is there anyone else?"
The assistant hesitated for a moment and said, "There should be another one, I..."
"It's coming, it's coming!"
Sun Hongwei hurriedly went over and said, "Teacher Luo Kai is already here." ”
Zhou Han waved his hand: "Then invite him over." ”
This director in his thirties, who is also a young Zhuang faction, has a very bad face, and there is a big bubble on the corner of his mouth, which is estimated to be very popular in the past few days.
In fact, it is easy to understand that any director will be very annoyed when there is such a problem, and it is easy to say that it is easy to reshoot, but it is undoubtedly a very troublesome thing when it comes to important roles.
Luo Kai walked over calmly.
The previous Liu Xiaoxiao was ready to leave, but when he heard Luo Kai's name, he stayed again.

The second one is sent.
