"Everyone, be quiet, Director Guan has just come back from outside, and there is still work to arrange, let's disperse, and when Director Guan finishes arranging work, there will be a second round of auditions, and you are all stuck here, which is delaying everyone's time. Zhou Xiaochuan held a bullhorn and shouted.

In addition to Zhou Xiaochuan, other staff members of the crew also helped maintain order, and invited the auditioning artists and their agents to the rest area on the side.

Seeing that everyone had dispersed, Guan Jiayun breathed a sigh of relief, smiled at Zhou Qiang on the side, and said, "Mr. Zhou, let you see the smile, the more this kind of small role audition, the more messy the scene will be." ”

"Why is this, isn't it more attractive to audition for the protagonist?" Zhou Qiang wondered.

"Generally, when making movies, newcomers are rarely used as the protagonists, most of them are people who are a little well-known and a little wristy, one is that the number of auditions is small, and the other is that everyone has to meet, which is easier to manage. Guan Jiayun said.

Zhou Qiang nodded, understood what Guan Jiayun meant, to put it bluntly, the threshold for audition for the protagonist is relatively high, and most people are not qualified to audition, but there are not so many requirements for supporting roles, and many people have the opportunity to interview, so there are many people, miscellaneous identities, and the scene is more chaotic.

After dispersing the crowd, Zhou Xiaochuan walked over and greeted him with a smile: "Director Guan, are you back?"

"Well, how about today's audition? Is there a more suitable one?" Guan Jiayun said with concern.

"I'm just about to report to you, both roles have gone through the first round of auditions, and each has selected three artists with better conditions, and they are waiting for you to decide. Zhou Xiaochuan said.

"It's not my turn to make a decision today, Mr. Zhou has the final say. Guan Jiayun smiled and turned his head to look at Zhou Qiang on the side.

After seeing Guan Jiayun's actions, Zhou Xiaochuan showed a puzzled look, glanced at Zhou Qiang next to him, and didn't seem to have seen the other party, and asked, "Director Guan, who is this gentleman next to you?"

"This is Mr. Zhou. He is also an investor in the Baked Cake Man movie. Guan Jiayun introduced.

"Yo, it turned out to be Mr. Zhou, disrespectful and disrespectful. Zhou Xiaochuan was slightly stunned, and then hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hands, and shook hands with Zhou Qiang vigorously.

"Hello Director Zhou. Zhou Qiang nodded, he was really a little uncomfortable with Zhou Xiaochuan's enthusiasm.

Regarding the purpose of Guan Jiayun's going out today, Zhou Xiaochuan still knows more or less. It was because he quickly accepted Zhou Qiang's identity, and his attitude towards Zhou Qiang was very enthusiastic.

Everyone who is a director hopes to make their own work, and the director of a work may be known to many people, but no one cares who the assistant director is.

The director is the core of a movie, and the assistant director is often the first to do it, so. Zhou Xiaochuan also hopes that he can become a director one day and make a movie with his own style, instead of being an assistant director for others.

In fact, Guan Jiayun and Zhou Xiaochuan are very similar in this regard. Guan Jiayun has also been an assistant director before, and the Bakery Man is the first work of the other party to become a regular, and why can Guan Jiayun become a regular?

Quite simply, because Guan Jiayun is able to attract investment. There are financiers who are willing to pay for the movie.

Zhou Xiaochuan has always felt that he is no worse than Guan Jiayun, and what he lacks is just an opportunity. And who gave the opportunity, isn't it the film investor?

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that Zhou Xiaochuan will be so enthusiastic after meeting Zhou Qiang, and he also hopes that he can be appreciated by the owner and make a movie of his own.

"Mr. Zhou, if you're okay, come with me for a second round of auditions and see if there are any artists you admire. Guan Jiayun said.

In fact, Chu Chu left early today, not only because of something, but also because of the performance of Zhou Qiang and Guan Jiayun, Zhou Qiang invested money in this movie, and he had to give people some benefits.

"I don't understand professional performances, it's okay to have a good time, but you have to be guided. Zhou Qiang said with a smile.

Hearing Zhou Qiang say this, Guan Jiayun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he regarded this movie as his own child, and what he was most afraid of was that some producers relied on their own money, so they planted people in this movie indiscriminately, making a good movie into four dislikes.

In fact, the production and distribution funds of the Baked Cake Man movie were originally sufficient, and the reason why there were investors who withdrew their funds was because of the contradiction in the choice of the movie role, the last investor invested his own money, and he had to let an actress he liked be the protagonist, but Guan Jiayun felt that the actress was not suitable, and there was a conflict between each other before, fortunately, with the support of Chu Chu, the major shareholder, Guan Jiayun was able to continue filming, otherwise maybe the result would not be another investor withdrawing capital, but a change of director of the Baked Cake Man movie。

……

At the same time as Zhou Qiang, Guan Jiayun and Zhou Xiaochuan were talking, some artists and agents standing in the rest area were also talking in a low voice about the situation in the studio, they not only followed Guan Jiayun, but also were curious about Zhou Qiang's identity.

Chen Dongju clasped her hands to her chest and looked at the studio not far away, she has been in the film industry for more than ten years, she also knew Guan Jiayun, and when the other party was an assistant director in the past, they even dealt with each other.

In Chen Dongju's impression, Guan Jiayun is a rigorous person, but he is also a little inflexible, many times he is not right about things and people, and it is not easy to go through the back door from him, but this is not all bad, at least, he can't get through himself, others can't get through, everyone speaks with their ability.

Moreover, Chen Dongju accompanied Li Xinyi to audition just now, and she was still very satisfied with Li Xinyi's performance, Li Xinyi is not only beautiful, but also from a professional class, and her acting talent and psychological quality are not bad, so she has a great chance of winning this role.

Thinking of this, Chen Dongju glanced at Li Xinyi next to her, and found that the other party had wide eyes, staring directly in the direction of the studio, and said, "Xinyi, what are you looking at?"

After waiting for a while, Li Xinyi didn't respond, she still looked like she was out of her mind, Chen Dongju couldn't help but shake her head and smile, stretched out her right hand and pushed Li Xinyi, and said, "You girl, why are you in a daze?"

"Ah...... Sister Chen, do you have something to do with me?" Li Xinyi came back to her senses and asked.

"I said you, staring straight at the studio, what are you in a daze?" asked Chen Dongju.

"That...... I'm ......" Li Xinyi sighed, her tone staggered.

"What? Could it be that you have met an acquaintance?" Chen Dongju guessed.

"Uh-huh. Li Xinyi nodded.

"Yo, you have acquaintances in the crew, that's a good thing?" As he spoke, Chen Dongju also looked at the studio and said, "Point me out, which one is?"

"The person sitting next to Guan Dao is. Li Xinyi said.

"The young man in the suit?" asked Chen Dongju.

"Uh-huh. ”

"Tsk, I've noticed this person a long time ago, I can come with Director Guan, I guess his status in the crew is not low, and he is still wearing a suit, and he doesn't look like an ordinary staff member of the crew. Chen Dongju muttered, and then asked, "By the way, what is this friend of yours doing?"

"Ahem......" Hearing Chen Dongju's analysis, Li Xinyi was even more bottomless, and she didn't dare to hide it, and said softly: "He's not my friend?"

"It's not a friend, then how do you know ......" Speaking of this, Chen Dongju was late for a while, and said secretly, since you know each other, and you are not friends, is it possible that you are still enemies?

"Xinyi, have you ever had a conflict with that person?"

"Sister Chen, actually, I mentioned this person to you. Li Xinyi sighed again, her face full of helplessness.

"When?" Chen Dongju looked puzzled.

"Do you remember, a few days ago, I ate the overlord meal?" asked Li Xinyi.

"Are you embarrassed to say it? In the future, don't meet with that kind of unreliable man, you can't even pay before a meal, it's really anyone. Chen Dongju snorted.

Chen Dongju still had a deep impression of this matter, because Li Xinyi ordered a meal, but found that she didn't bring any money, and the man she was dating ran away again, and it was she who ran over to give the other party the money, and taught Li Xinyi a good lesson for this matter.

"I didn't expect that I would see that man again, and on this occasion?" Li Xinyi showed a pitiful look.

"You mean to say that the person sitting next to Guan Dao is the man who dumped you that day?" Chen Dongju asked with a long mouth.

"I didn't get dumped by him? I didn't like him at all. Li Xinyi explained.

"Is this the time to argue about this?" Chen Dongju snorted and reprimanded.

"What should I do then?" Li Xinyi said.

"Let's find out what his identity is and what it has to do with the crew. Chen Dongju pondered for a moment and said.

"I didn't know him very well, but I had only met him twice, but I heard that he had an investment management company. Li Xinyi recalled.

"Are you an investor?" Chen Dongju stretched out his voice and took a deep breath.

In a crew, if the director is the emperor of the crew, then the investor is the emperor, and the director has the final say in the general affairs of the crew, but as long as the investor expresses his opinion, the director must also listen.

Chen Dongju was also a little speechless, originally she thought that Li Xinyi's audition was not bad this time, and it was very likely to win the movie role, but if Li Xinyi offended the investors of the crew, no matter how good her acting skills were, it would be useless.

"Sister Chen, what should I do now?" Li Xinyi also realized the seriousness of the matter, she cherished this audition very much, and wanted to get this movie role, who would have wanted to kill halfway to bite the gold, which made her at a loss.

"What's that person's name?" asked Chen Dongju.

"Zhou Qiang. Li Xinyi replied truthfully.

"Xinyi, tell me carefully, how did you have a grudge with this Mr. Zhou?" Chen Dongju said solemnly, if you want to solve the matter well, you must first know the cause and effect.

"Okay. ”

Li Xinyi sighed again, what happened last time, she had already hated Zhou Qiang in her heart, and decided not to mention the word 'Zhou Qiang' in the future, who would have thought that it would only be a few days before she had to face Zhou Qiang again.

Moreover, what makes Li Xinyi even more aggrieved is that maybe this meeting will be crushed by the other party...... (To be continued.) )
