Chapter 28: Interviews
At the beginning of the interview, Xijing sat on a stool and glanced at everyone.
"Let's introduce myself. ”
"My name is Bai Ke!
A thin young man in a white shirt said.
Immediately afterwards, a slightly chubby and old-looking young man on the periphery raised his hand: "My name is Liu Hao, a student at Shudu Drama Academy, I haven't graduated this year, and I have acted in several dramas in school!"
With experience in drama performances, Xijing made a note for this young man.
"Report to the Boss" is a nonsensical comedy, and the drama actors will be a little more expressive, which is quite suitable for their own drama.
"My name is Liu Zimo, a student at the Modu Drama Academy, this time my brother called me to come over to audition, I hope the director can give me a chance!"
It was a tall, thin, clean-faced young man who spoke.
Xijing also glanced at it and wrote and drew in his notebook.
“……”
A few minutes later, a group of people introduced themselves, and Xijing also got to know the group of people in general.
Self-introduction is not only a display of oneself, but also a subtle revelation of one's character.
As a director with countless experience as famous directors, Xijing's eye for selecting actors naturally goes without saying.
"Okay, then, I'll give each of you a part of the script, and everyone will improvise according to their own script, and I will score everyone according to their performance. ”
Xijing signaled to Lin Xi next to him and sent more than a dozen disassembled scripts.
These scripts have no logic, no plot, only fragmentary dialogues, and cannot piece together a complete episode.
This is also prepared by Xijing in advance, generally speaking, when auditioning, a confidentiality agreement is often signed to prohibit the leakage of the script of the audition actor.
But "Report to the Boss" is too special, it is a groundbreaking web drama, innovation is its biggest selling point, and it is worthless if it is really leaked.
A group of actors took the script and read it over and over again, their brows furrowed, and the suspicion in their eyes became more and more intense.
They are all from professional classes, have solid basic skills, have read a lot of scripts, and the teacher has also told some classic script cases, but I have never seen such a casual script as in front of them.
"I am the ace screenwriter of this company, opposite these two guys with strange hairstyles, one is a big wave director, the other is a little mushroom producer, what about handsome hairstyles, the most important thing to do projects is ...... strength"
There's no setting, it's just a bunch of conversations.
And all their performances are sitting on the sofa, making some facial micro-expressions, and the only line is to raise their hands like elementary school students: "Report to the boss!"
If you look at the name of the script again, it's called Report Boss.
What kind of is this?
"What, there's a problem?"
Looking at a group of hesitant students, Xijing frowned, he glanced at it, and after reading the script, the only one whose face remained unchanged and even relished was Bai Ke, who was on the thin side, and everyone else was more or less hesitant.
"Precise vision!"
Xijing added a few more strokes under the name of Baike.
"I didn't ...... No problem!"
More than a dozen auditioners looked at each other, although they were still skeptical in their hearts, but they still planned to give it a try.
They are all students, and they don't have too many resources in their hands, although this company is not very reliable, but it is better because of the high salary, and it is good to practice as a brush experience.
Half an hour later.
Bai Ke passed directly.
Xijing gave him the role of a little mushroom producer, although he himself was relatively silent, but in the play, he seemed to be a different person, acting like a fish in water, and the faint facial paralysis was in tacit agreement with the character.
Liu Hao and Liu Zimo also passed the test, one of them has experience in drama performance, and the camera sense is stable, and the other is slightly green, but full of spirituality, and there is a lot of room for improvement after training.
As for the others, the basic skills are not solid, and there is a strong academic style, and the performance is stiff.
Xijing carefully flipped through the resumes of these people, picked a general among the lame, and picked out another one named Li Ziyuan, like Bai Ke, a fresh graduate of the Modu Drama Academy, with experience in filming a web drama.
In addition to the four main characters in "Report to the Boss", there is also a 10,000-year-old soy sauce party, who has incarnated countless tricks and has many scenes.
Although Li Ziyuan's performance is stiff, after all, he has brushed up on experience, and it should still be okay to run tricks.
"Okay, these four people will sign the contract with the company tomorrow, and they will directly enter the crew to film the day after tomorrow, and the rest will be, we can notify you again when we film next time, and disband!"
After speaking, Xijing left his contact information and company address for these people, and went back.
He is now very busy, not only preparing for the preliminary work of "Report to the Boss", but also filming "The Boring Life of the Rich Second Generation", and he can't stop for the rest of the time, he has to continue to code.
The book "Krypton Gold Becomes Stronger" is still on the top of the new book list, and he uploads at least 10,000 words every day, and he doesn't even have time to read the chapter of the reader's sand sculpture.
Night, an apartment in Los Angeles.
Bai Ke had just finished washing up and was lying on the bed thinking about the day.
The contract will be signed tomorrow, but today's audition reveals a hint of weirdness inside and out.
A small company that has been established for less than a month, a nonsensical low-budget children's web drama, and a novice director who seems younger than him perfectly make up all the ingredients for a bad movie.
A graduate of the Modu Drama Academy, he has several stage performance experiences, and Bai Ke's conditions are actually not bad.
It's not difficult to find a good script as a starting point, but for some reason, he is always a little reluctant to give up.
Don't...... Is it because of that script?
Bai Ke lay on the bed, puzzled.
Bang Bang!
There were a few knocks on the edge of the bed.
A young man holding a basin stood by the bed, it was the actor who was interviewed together today and was also selected by Xijing - Li Ziyuan.
Li Ziyuan is also a graduate of the Modu Drama Academy, and Bai Ke is a classmate alumnus, just graduated this year, participated in an online drama in his sophomore year, his personality is relatively proud, and his relationship with him is very average on weekdays.
"Why, are you still wondering if you want to go tomorrow? If you want me to say, this is a scam, even if it is not a scam, it is a bad movie, you look at the poor and sour crew, trying out the play on the road, and then look at the script, it is messy, is it a little logical? Anyway, I won't go!"
Li Ziyuan sneered, as if he thought of something: "That director also has no vision, and he only fell in love with me last today, he thought that the uncle was rare for him?"
"Bang!"
The basin was thrown under the bed, Li Ziyuan picked up a script from the bed, and shook it proudly: "See, I have already thought of a way out, Tiandu Entertainment's new web drama - Lord Fox Fairy fell in love with me, invested five million, I am the male number one, and I will enter the group directly in two days." ”
"You already have a script, why are you still auditioning today?"
Bai Ke was still lying on the bed, not paying attention to the show-off of his classmates.
Li Ziyuan is such a show-off person, and it's quite boring to worry about him.
