Chapter 143: Don't Shoehorn What You Don't Want

"Director Lu, all the materials you want are here, do you have any other instructions?"

A not-too-beautiful female assistant about 30 years old, who is also Lu He's usual assistant director of casting, softly handed over a suggested folder - not bound, just a dozen pages of pictures and texts, clipped together with buttons.

"It's nothing, you sit down for a while. Lu He waved his hand casually, and let the other party sit on the sofa next to him without seeing his subordinates at all.

Everyone in the circle knows that unless it is a relational household, it is better to use a woman for casting assistant directors. After all, the important role of the male protagonist and the female protagonist in a movie is not solved by the casting assistant director. This position is just responsible for finding a supporting role that the chief director doesn't have a score in his heart and doesn't care about.

In a woman's words, there is less risk of her going to sleep with another round of beauty.

Of course, there are gains and losses. While the girls have one less round of risk, the little fresh meat who applied for the recruitment will have to bear more.

But men, how can a mature woman in her 30s be regarded as contributing to the harmony of the industry.

What's more, to put it mildly, there are a lot of well-known directors who look crooked and cracked, and even if the female casting assistant directors in the feasible ones are not beauties, they are decent, and most of them are a little mature and intellectual. Xiao Xianrou served them, and it didn't leave much indelible psychological shadow (except for a few perverted aunts, there are more perverted aunts in the idol drama productions over there in Wanwan, and the mainland is good. This should be praised for the self-love of mainland women)

Don't talk nonsense, anyway, the casting female assistant director used by Lu He has a very decent image and temperament, and her business ability and professional ethics are also above average - moreover, in the waiting room just now, she also heard Du Min's conversation with Ma Hesha, and heard Du Min's startled, as well as Ma Hesha's "coping with auditions with clothes from Taobao".

"What do you think of these three?" Director Lu finished reading more than a dozen pages of documents, threw them to the side, and then circled three names and asked his female assistant director.

"This ...... I'm afraid I don't see as much as you do. The female assistant director was modest.

"Just say it, say what you want. Director Lu seemed very open-minded.

"Then I'll think about it. The female assistant director said and took the paper handed back, and looked at the three names circled on it: one is Ma Hesha, the second is called Du Min, and the last one is called Zagu.

Among them, when Du Min was chatting with Ma Hesha just now, he claimed that he was a "student of Jingying", but the female assistant director had read her resume, so she had already known that Du Min was bragging: that girl's formal education is "Jingying Continuing Education College".

In other words, it is not the "Jingying" who was admitted to the regular college entrance examination, but the kind of spicy chicken pheasant that is equivalent to "Chengjiao" or "Sanben".

For example, it is equivalent to "Zhejiang University City College" and "Zhejiang University", and "Peking University Jade Bird" is to "Peking University".

But in any case, the professional direction of Du Min's academic degree is already the closest to the needs of this play among the three girls circled by Director Lu in the end.

After all, Ma Hesha is a 211 book, but after all, it is not a professional school for opera, and he also studies music. Another Zagu is a high school graduate who has just passed the college entrance examination and art examination, and he is too young to study acting at all.

The female assistant director thought about it and replied within this range: "On image...... The horse and yarn first. In terms of the level of performance and the scope of adaptation of on-the-spot temperament, it seems that Du Min is still a little better. In the end, this Zagu is the best in attitude, although it is a blank piece of paper, it looks sincere, very willing to learn, and the acceptance is good, and in appearance, it is only slightly worse than the horse and yarn. ”

There is art in talking to the leader, and any choice given by the leader cannot be directly denied. After all, today's step, so far, it has been 3 out of 20, which shows that these 3 Lu Dao are all superior. If the female assistant director directly says that any of them are not good at all, isn't it too eyeless.

As for her line of "sincere attitude, how much learning potential is", everyone in the circle understands it.

It's nothing more than that a certain girl is willing to "pay" and has the potential to "pay".

"Hehe, you're right, the attitude of the horse and the yarn must be quite blunt. Director Lu smiled casually.

The documents just collected contain a summary of all the public information of the three female candidates.

Lu He can become a well-known award-winning director, he must be a human spirit, and he will not mess around like a guy who is brainless and controlled by the lower body. Therefore, he has carefully watched Ma Hesha's "glorious deeds", and also watched the ruthlessness of the killer ironclad evidence of "virgin identification" when she fought a lawsuit with someone for reputation rights.

How can such a resolute beauty easily move the idea of unspoken rules? The other party is already a small Internet celebrity, and he is so innocent, he is not the same as other glamorous Internet celebrities, and he also knows the ruthless corners of the rich and treacherous.

Therefore, if he wants to be coerced by Lu He, he will not dare to do it, and he will not be able to commit it.

Otherwise, if he weren't such an eight-faced person, how could he fool six or seven investors into investing money for him, and finally successfully take advantage of the mutual checks and balances between investors, and still hang the name of "producer" as himself?

It is very difficult for a movie, director, screenwriter and producer, to hang the same person's name on these three positions. This means that investors' supervision over the specific use of investment funds has been weakened to a limit.

Generally speaking, if there are only one or three investors in a film, then the investors with large shares can be very strong and ask the producer to be determined by them.

Even if he can't do it, he will be the same as when Feng Jianxiong first voted for "Tip of the Tongue", and install a "producer" or "producer assistant" next to Director Chen - at that time, Feng Jianxiong used Ding Lihui, who knew the roots, to take on this role.

The role of this role is to monitor how the crew's money is spent, whether every cent of the money invested in the crew is spent on filming, whether it has been filled by the director and screenwriter, whether each supplier has related party transactions, or whether the props and costumes have eaten kickbacks and deliberately cheap and do not buy expensive ones......

But there are many investors, and no one trusts anyone, and everyone is afraid that one or more of these investors are making false contributions, or even colluding with the director to play double reeds and pit other investors' money-

If you really can't even understand this, go and see how Huang Shilang, who played by Fa Ge in "Let the Bullets Fly", colluded with the successive county magistrates of Goose City, "Raise your own respect, and then pretend to pay money to suppress bandits, as long as Huang Yuan goes out to make money, the two richest people in the south of the city must contribute their share of the money proportionally." After the money arrived, Huang Shilang's county magistrate returned the money, and the two wealthy men in the south of the city paid the money, and the county magistrate shared the account with Huang Shilang". (Although this trick is too small to be so naked, it is actually impossible to be so naked, but is it so easy to understand.) )

Therefore, if there are many investors, the producers recommended by any investor cannot get the support of other investors. In the end, the producer can only be the director or screenwriter himself.

The essence of Lu He can be seen.

Such a person will be on the woman's meeting. It is impossible for the sperm worm to have a bad brain.

For him, the current horse and yarn are girls who can't be on it, and can only choose between using it directly or not.

At this time, the only consideration is whether the benefits brought by using horses and yarn can be significantly superior to those brought by using Du Min.

After all, horses and yarn have Internet celebrity attributes and come with their own traffic. And the salary requirements should be very low, no different from using ordinary passers-by.

And women, what opportunities can't be on? Even if it is said that in this movie right now, "Yu Ji" can't be on, can she still be on a more inferior female supporting role.

"You call Ma and Sha in and talk about it separately. ”

"Yes, right away. The female assistant director's heart was slightly cold, and she secretly wondered if Director Lu didn't care about Ma Hesha's shortcomings of "not being distracted and unwilling to pay"?

……

"Ma and Sa, come to the director's office. The female assistant director walked up to Ma Hesha and gently explained to her.

Then, without waiting for Ma and Sha to react, the female assistant director was very capable of announcing that most of the other girls would go to dinner first.

The staff will also give red envelopes to the carriage and horse fares at the place where the bento is distributed, which can be regarded as a comfort to them for their enthusiasm to audition - the audition for costume dramas is different from the modern background, and many eager contestants will spend their own money to make wigs and costumes.

Although this is not required by the crew, and the crew is not required to pay, some more generous crews will still be interesting, so that it will be easier for a director's reputation in the circle to attract people to respond to the audition in the future.

The things in the entertainment industry are all sedan chairs carrying people. In film academies such as Beijing Film and Huaju, girls will also tell which director is picky and which director is generous in private.

While explaining that the others went to dinner, the female assistant director walked in front of Du Min and Zagu alone, "You stay for a while, maybe it's you after the interview." ”

The two girls hurriedly cast grateful glances, looking forward to it, but also had some resentment towards Ma and Sha.

"Is it dangerous to go to the director's office alone? Can we go together?" Ma Hesha glanced at Feng Jianxiong, feeling a little uncertain.

Feng Jianxiong was a little speechless: "You are a human spirit worm in the brain, who would do this in the office." Besides, what are you afraid of with your mobile phone, if you have a problem, you can put it in your pocket at any time and call me with one click. ”

"Where does the skirt I wear come from my pockets!!" Ma and Sasha complained, but she also knew that now was not the time to be coquettish, so she thought about it, gritted her teeth and hid her phone in her skirt.

This is the difference between boys and girls, boys' clothes, even if they are big bosses, can put things in their pockets. Even if a girl is a petty bourgeois poor girl, she must put everything in her bag, and even if her clothes have pockets, they will always be decorations.

Girls have to buy bags!

Ma and Sha quietly came to Lu Dao's office.

She glanced at one side of the wall, which was glass, and the middle was frosted, but the calf and foot parts were transparent in height, and from the outside she could see the standing position of the person inside.

In this way, even if you don't know what the people in the room are doing, you can see the relative positions between people at a glance - if the legs of a lonely man and a widow are only within 30 centimeters, then you can think about it. (Of course, if you put a person on the desk and don't show your legs, you can theoretically have a little fun, theoretically)

I didn't expect this Lu Dao to pay attention to his private image and cherish his reputation.

"Miss Ma, your image and temperament, needless to say, I'll be honest with you, among the 20 people I watched today, you are the most in line with Yu Ji. Director Lu waited for the girls to sit down, and then took the lead in speaking, setting the tone of the conversation, "I like you very much, but I heard that you came to audition in Taobao's costume today, and you changed us on the spot." This attitude is very hesitant, have you not understood the background and cultural characteristics of the script at all?"

"I'm sorry director, I ...... It is true that the attention is late, and the time is relatively rushed. But if I have the chance, I'll definitely try my best. Ma Hesha sincerely admitted his mistake, after all, what the other party said was very right, not difficult.

Right and wrong still have to be clearly distinguished.

Director Lu waved his hand: "Work hard, of course there is still a chance." When it comes to trade secrets, I can't tell you when to turn on and when to put on the file. But at least a three-month preparation period is still guaranteed.

However, I have always believed that a person's attitude can be seen in the details. How do you prove that you are very attentive and willing to work our show? Based on the state you showed today, I don't think you really care. If I make up my mind because of you, it won't be fair to Miss Du. ”

Ma and Shaxin almost brought up: express their sincerity? What do you mean? No......

She couldn't help but confirm, "Then how do you want me to prove my efforts?"

She was ready to pretend to be confused, and if the other party kicked her, it would be fine. If the other party has the patience to offer the right terms, let's talk again.

Fortunately, Director Lu's later conditions seem to be very legitimate: "First of all, in terms of salary, I want to tell you first, no matter what kind of social role you originally had, at least you have the same qualifications as other newcomers in the field of film, so the salary can only be based on pure newcomers, I hope you study hard." ”

"That's okay, it's completely deserved, I'm still studying, even if I give a chance to exercise and don't talk about money......" Ma and Yarn answered this point fluently, obviously not caring about small money.

"Secondly, you have a certain amount of online presence, which goes without saying. If I use you, I'm going to have to take into account your own traffic effect - so, can you guarantee that within three months, you'll prove your own traffic value? I want a visible indicator of how much value you're going to promote for this movie in the future. ”

Lu Dao put forward the last and most critical point.

This is an opportunity to make a big production in exchange for squeezing the other party's publicity value in vain.

Ma and Sha listened, but their reaction was actually relieved.

It's just a legitimate business requirement, just work hard.

Of course, she thought about it a little simply.

Although she is already a small Internet celebrity, she has never deliberately managed her popularity, and she can't quantify the assessment well. At present, there are no awesome self-media voice channels, and her blog has only more than 100,000 followers so far - after all, in the era of orthodox blogs, users are all concerned about the public, at least they should pay attention to the "intellectual media beauty", and will not pay attention to pure Internet celebrities. So in the era of long-form blogging, there is no way out for Internet celebrities in this.

It's just because Ma Hesha subconsciously thinks about this problem simply, or it may not be without the blind trust of "as long as it's a business matter, I can't solve it, Brother Xiong will always teach me".

"I ...... If you have 300,000 followers on your blog and regularly update your feelings and experiences about making movies? Of course, you won't divulge trade secrets, so I will write what you think you can do. If not, do you meet the requirements of becoming an entertainment district UP owner with 500,000 followers on the NICONICO website?" Ma and Saa said tentatively after some consideration.

"How did you think of that kind of channel at Station N? Oh, by the way, you are quite familiar with Mr. Feng from Station N, right? Director Lu subconsciously asked.

He was not very familiar with Feng Jianxiong, and he was only limited to knowing. But who made him just see Ma Hesha's background information, so he saw the scandal and reputation lawsuit between her and Feng Jianxiong. Right now is the time when my memory is at its freshest, so I reacted as soon as I heard it.

"It's really familiar, of course I'm not letting people open the back door, I think he can teach me how to become a ...... with a lot of attention."

Director Lu laughed: "If you have to open the back door, why not open it? In the entertainment industry, being able to open the back door is already the most serious means." Can ......you help if you know it well."

"Then I...... Can you discuss it and give you a specific answer? Ma and Yarn were a little overwhelmed.

"How long will it take? I want you to settle down today, if not, find Du Min. ”

"Soon, Brother Xiong was outside, and he came with me today. Ma and Yarn said in a panic.

"He came with you?" Lu Dao raised his eyebrows, secretly thinking that the relationship between the two was closer than he expected.

Since it is so close, how did those "virgin identifications" come about in last year's lawsuit?

Could it be that Feng Jianxiong is impotence?

……

Du Min has been waiting outside with great anticipation, she thinks to herself that in the three girls who stayed in the end, although her posture is the most sculptural, but her acting skills must have an advantage.

The female No. 3 of a big production, looking for a pure newcomer with no acting experience at all, isn't it reasonable?

Even if this female No. 3 is originally a vase-type character, she only needs pure beauty.

She even lusted in her mind: if she really played Yu Ji, even if there is no kiss scene in the script now, and there are no other large-scale scenes, she must run in with the handsome guy Yanzu more, talk about the drama in advance, and it is best to talk about the script late at night to cultivate feelings......

It's wet to think about.

"That Ma Hesha would definitely not be willing to sacrifice like this, as soon as she saw her boyfriend, she was very strong, and she should have a little money. Well, and in terms of handsomeness, he is not much worse than Wu Yanzu. Ma and Saa must be handsome guys tired of sleeping. Du Min thought as he looked at Feng Jianxiong who had been holding his mobile phone in the distance and replying to messages, so brainily.

At this moment, Ma and Saya hurried out.

Du Min hurriedly tidied up his clothes and prepared to accept the reception.

"Brother Xiong, I'm sorry......" Ma Hesha's first sentence was a little weak.

——

There are already more than 5,000 words on it, and the two more are 1,000 words short, so be it.

Tomorrow too.

On weekends, you have to drive to and from northern Jiangsu, and you can't drive tiredly. I also have to bring my wife back from the countryside
