Chapter 76: Auditions

After deciding which movie to make, Chen Yongren called Chen Daoming and others to see if they had time, and then came over to make a cameo.

are all acquaintances, so as soon as they heard that Chen Yongren was going to start filming a new film, they invited them to make a cameo, Chen Daoming and others agreed, after all, it was just a cameo, and the time would not be too long, and this was invited by Chen Yongren by phone in person, and no one could not give Chen Yongren face if he didn't give face.

At the beginning, I received a call from Chen Yongren and heard that he was going to make a new film, and I thought I was looking for myself to play the leading role, but it turned out to be just a cameo, but everyone didn't care, and it was very happy to be able to cooperate with Chen Yongren, even if it was just a cameo.

So the movie hasn't started filming yet, and there are already a lot of big-name actors who want to come over to make cameos, Chen Yongren called so many people to come over to make cameos, in fact, the main reason is to improve the façade of this movie, although it doesn't matter if this façade is there or not, and it doesn't mean much, just to create an atmosphere of stars celebrating the New Year.

This movie is a very successful low-budget romantic comedy "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love", the reason why I chose this movie is that the cost is low enough, less than 10 million RMBB, and I also want to change the taste of the Spring Festival stalls, and I also want to give all directors a demonstration, not only large-scale production and big-investment movies can be successful, as long as the movie is good enough, small-budget movies can also be a big success.

Then Chen Yongren contacted Zhang Jiayi again, he still plans to play the role of 'Big Old Wang' in the film, Zhang Jiayi is also a powerful actor, there is no fire at this time, what is missing is just an opportunity, so Chen Yongren is also happy to be this Bole.

And Zhang Jiayi was very strange when he received Chen Yongren's call, because he didn't have any friendship with the international director, and he usually found an agent to find an actor to perform, so he thought it was a liar and hung up the phone directly, and then after repeated confirmation, Zhang Jiayi was still a little unbelievable, and at the same time a little moved, he didn't expect such a big-name director to contact him in person, and he agreed immediately.

And some other inconsequential roles, there are some extras The problem is not difficult to solve, and the heroine Chen Yongren does not plan to continue to use the original actors, so the selection of the heroine is still to be determined.

At the same time, the pipe network of Longteng Media Group also announced Chen Yongren's new film plan, and also announced the release time of the film, which is tentatively scheduled to be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year in 2009.

For a while, the news of Chen Yongren's return to the Spring Festival file was flying all over the sky, and fans were also very looking forward to and curious about the genre of this film and who the starring role was.

However, Chen Yongren didn't pay much attention to these news, because he was busy with the starring role of the movie, and the movie wanted to be released in time for the Spring Festival, so the time was very tight.

In the past two days, countless actors who are more familiar with Chen Yongren have called and asked if there is a suitable role or something, but Chen Yongren plans to use new actors this time, except for a bunch of big names in cameos, the rest of the leading actors will be newcomers or old actors who are not well-known.

After thinking about it for a few days, after Chen Yongren determined the heroine, he posted a Weibo, saying that this movie is a low-budget movie, and the starring roles will all be played by newcomers, and thank you for everyone's information, so stay tuned......

At the beginning of choosing this movie, Chen Yongren didn't think about inviting a famous actor to be the leading actor, so when he decided to use a newcomer, due to the tight time, it was impossible to conduct a large-scale audition, so he asked Li Dong, general manager of Longteng Brokerage Company, to see if there were suitable candidates under the company, and prepared a few heroine plans for himself.

However, although there are many signed artists under Longteng, there are very few actors who meet Chen Yongren's requirements. The threshold for signing a contract with the main dragon is very high, so those who can sign a contract with the dragon are all first-line and above actors. Although there are many actresses who want to come to audition, Chen Yongren is not very satisfied with these actresses, either because of their age, or because they are not suitable.

Chen Yongren was also helpless after understanding, he didn't expect that so many artists under the company couldn't even find a qualified newcomer, so Chen Yongren decided to wait for the movie to be finished, and he wanted to hold a meeting to study the company's talent training plan, after all, what he cultivated was different from the high-priced sign, not a matter of money, but a problem of recognition of the company's values and loyalty to the company.

But thinking about it, Chen Yongren suddenly remembered someone.

To be exact, he remembered a picture, this picture came from attending the exchange meeting of his alma mater a few days ago, at which a girl asked him a question, this girl's name is Jiang Shuying, long and slim, long hair fluttering, very beautiful, mainly because the image and age are appropriate.

However, Chen Yongren still has a question mark about whether Jiang Shuying's acting skills are good at this time, after all, although it is said that it is played by a newcomer, it does not mean that there is no requirement for acting skills, so he called the assistant to contact Jiang Shuying. Let her come over and audition, and if she doesn't feel it, she will change people, and if it doesn't work, she will still use the original actor.

After receiving a call from Chen Yongren's assistant, after learning about the intention, Jiang Shuying immediately agreed without saying a word.

In the four years of school, I have also acted in some TV series, but most of them are small roles, mainly acting in dramas, and have never acted in movies, let alone serving as the heroine of a movie.

So for Jiang Shuying, who is about to graduate, this opportunity is like pie in the sky, and she is also the number one female film of the great director Chen Yongren, if it spreads, I don't know how many people will be envious, jealous and hateful.

But now you have to prepare for the audition, after all, people just notified themselves to audition in the past, and they haven't decided to play by themselves, so don't be happy too early.

Jiang Shuying didn't tell anyone about this audition, on November 15, Jiang Shuying flew to Beijing and came to Longteng Building to participate in the audition of the heroine of "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love".

Jiang Shuying is wearing very simple today, a pair of jeans, a T-shirt, and a peaked cap, looking very youthful and beautiful, and she feels like a big beauty at a glance from a distance.

For Jiang Shuying, this is a very big opportunity for her, if she seizes it, her future development will not be bad, and she also cherishes the opportunity to star in Chen Yongren's movie.

And in the past two days, after reading some profiles about the heroine that Zheng Tong gave her, she was also very interested in this heroine.

Huang Xiaoxian suffered the blow of falling out of love, and was bullied by the eldest Wang and Wang Xiaobei in the company, and her mood can be described as very desperate, feeling that life is meaningless, and she has to attend her ex-boyfriend's wedding.........

Jiang Shuying has carefully understood and figured out this role in the past two days, and today is the time to see the results, but I don't know if Director Chen can take a look? Thinking of this, Jiang Shuying couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

After the staff took her to Chen Yongren's office, Jiang Shuying took a deep breath, then knocked on the door and walked in.

First saw Chen Yongren sitting on the sofa, and there was a middle-aged man sitting next to him, probably an actor who came to audition or a friend of Chen Yongren.

Jiang Shuying bowed to the two, and just as she wanted to speak, Chen Yongren smiled and waved her hand: "We don't need this, you can sit down first." ”

Jiang Shuying nodded, hearing Chen Yongren's words, she also relaxed a lot, Chen Yongren gave people the feeling that he was very approachable, and he didn't have any shelves, so Jiang Shuying was not so nervous.

Chen Yongren looked at Jiang Shuying and said: "I'll call you Shuying, this is director Teng Huatao, the assistant director of the crew." ”

"Good for the guide. Jiang Shuying greeted the assistant director.

Chen Yongren continued: "I asked the assistant to read all the scripts for you, right?"

"I've seen it. Jiang Shuying hurriedly said.

"That's good. Chen Yongren nodded, and then asked her: "Then what do you think of the character of Huang Xiaoxian?" Tell me your understanding of this character, and then if you play it, how do you play this role well?"

Jiang Shuying knew that this was testing herself, so she lowered her head and thought about it, not every actor can do enough homework, many people say one, two, three, four when they act, so Chen Yongren also waited for her to say, after all, if she doesn't even have this attitude, then no matter how good her performance is, it won't work.

And Teng Huatao didn't play much role on the side, Chen Yongren called him over to learn about the situation of some other actors, some small roles and tricks, Chen Yongren was handed over to him to be responsible, it just so happened that Jiang Shuying came over to audition today, let's take a look together.

Halfway through, Jiang Shuying raised his head and said, "Well, I think Huang Xiaoxian is a person who looks scathing and mean on the outside, but he is actually very fragile inside. To play this role well, I think we still have to try to play a very clear opposition between her surface and her heart, and the confusion and helplessness when she is out of love......"

Chen Yongren nodded after hearing this and said, "That's a good point." Receiving Chen Yongren's affirmation, Jiang Shuying also smiled happily.

Chen Yongren continued: "Since you have put a lot of effort into the character's homework, then come to the performance and show us, read the script, and give you five minutes to prepare." ”

After Chen Yongren finished speaking, Teng Huatao got up and handed Jiang Shuying the script of the trial play that Chen Yongren had just told him.

After Jiang Shuying took the script, she read it, then thought about it for a while, and then began to perform.
