Chapter Seventy-Seven
Tuesday of the new week, the first day of the "audition day" that Zhang Che was waiting for. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Jang Che arrived at the TV station on time, and he was greeted by Yoo In-sik's extremely obscene smile.
"How have you been these days?" Liu Renzhi smiled hehehe, and Zhang Che felt a little numb in his heart when he laughed.
Of course he knew what Yoo In-sik was laughing at, it was nothing more than the unspoken rules. Although there is a fixed TV circle, actors are strictly forbidden to contact writers and directors in private, but now it's not that the actors have not yet been decided, and some are third- and fourth-tier star models who want to take the opportunity to get on the top.
"It's good, I ate and slept, I slept and ate, and I almost didn't dare to go out. Zhang Che replied to Liu Renzhi angrily, the taste of holding home every day these days is really uncomfortable, although Zhang Che calls himself an "otaku", but the taste of staying at home and being held at home is not the same.
"There's no agency looking for you?" This time it was Liu Renzhi's turn to be surprised, he had received a lot of banquets from his former friends and colleagues in the past few days, and wanted him to take care of his actors and models. In his opinion, Zhang Che, who has a greater right to speak, could not have received a call from the brokerage company.
"I don't know, I don't answer almost any other calls except for the calls of acquaintances. Zhang Che spread his hands and said that his festival was still full.
This topic can't continue, Liu Renzhi, who originally thought it was a raccoon dog, really didn't expect Zhang Che to be so "well-behaved", since this is the case, then don't talk nonsense and officially start working.
In the past few days, the TV station has received countless "resumes", and after preliminary screening, after deleting some people who obviously have no acting experience and making fun of themselves, they piled up the "resumes" on the table in the interview room.
Zhang Che looked at the "resume" in front of him and was a little dizzy, the amount that can cover himself when stacked, let alone two or three hundred copies, when will this interview be conducted one by one? Sitting down and looking at the first few photos, Zhang Che couldn't help frowning.
"What are these people in the second half of the 10th generation and the first half of the 20s making a lot of? Like this, at the age of 18, they actually want to play the second female lead, don't you know that the second female lead has a 10-year-old son?" Zhang Che said dissatisfiedly, pointing to a resume in front of him.
"Don't ask me about this, go and ask the planning of the TV Bureau, it's not what kind of audition they did, I still have an extra week to shoot. Liu Renzhi also looked helpless, and then said: "Anyway, it's all a formality, if it doesn't work, let's pick it out first, come in and give it 5 minutes to finish." ”
Regarding this statement, Zhang Che could only nod in agreement, and then began to select resumes one by one. Indeed, if you take the interviews carefully one by one, let alone a week, another week is not enough.
I didn't finish the interview until it officially started, but there was no way, it was already 10 o'clock in the morning, and it could be said that there were a lot of people outside, Zhang Che and Liu Renzhi could only suspend the work in hand and signal the assistant interview to start.
There are three chief examiners for this interview, a producer appointed by the TV Bureau, Zhang Che, and Liu Renzhi. The producer is very good at things, maybe because the TV Bureau feels that he is a little wrong, so the producer surnamed Wang explained at the beginning that among the three people, Liu Renzhi is still the leader, and Zhang Che is the deputy, and only when Zhang Che and Liu Renzhi disagree, will they make a vote. This is very much in line with the appetite of Jang Che and Yoo In-sik, neither of whom wants the TV Bureau to interfere in the actors and filming anymore.
The first one to come in for an interview was an "ordinary person", saying that it was an "ordinary person" was actually just a package from the TV Bureau, this was a trainee of an acting agency, and he was originally one of the members of the list of non-conformities sorted out by Zhang Che, plus the first interview was too nervous, and he couldn't even read the lines well, let alone perform, but he was sent out by Liu Renzhi before he arrived in 5 minutes.
interviewed more than a dozen people one after another, some of them took 5 minutes, and some of them may have ended in only 2 minutes, but there are absolutely no characters who match the roles in the play, none of them.
Before I knew it, a morning had passed, and there was still no gain. Zhang Che couldn't help but scratch his head a little, if he continues to delay like this, it will really affect the shooting.
"Don't be too anxious, this is normal, what we see today are some trainees and models sent by online delivery or brokerage companies to meet the world. The real drama meat will be tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and those who are really capable and have acting skills will not be arranged so early. As if seeing Zhang Che's worry, Liu Renzhi took the initiative to comfort Zhang Che.
It seems that in order to verify Liu Renzhi's words, until the end of the interview at 11 o'clock in the evening, Zhang Che was almost tired and paralyzed and did not meet a suitable candidate
was really tired and didn't want to go home, so Zhang Che said hello to Liu Renzhi and borrowed his office to make a floor and endure it for the night. Liu Renzhi saw this situation, how can the writer enter the work state before him, the director, so he didn't go home, and accompanied Zhang Che and the two to work on the floor in the office, so the next day when the two of them appeared in the interview room with a chicken nest, everyone was really surprised, and Producer Wang even speculated badly that the two of them were not looking for a place where no one fought.
Originally, Zhang Che and Liu Renzhi didn't sleep well because they slept on the floor, but at 5 o'clock in the morning, Zhang Che really couldn't sleep, so he got up and sorted out the "resume" information that was not sorted out yesterday. Liu Renzhi, who was woken up by Zhang Che, saw this situation and got up to tidy up together, and was busy until 9 o'clock before finishing it, and the two hurriedly had breakfast at the café downstairs at SBS and rushed to the interview room.
In short, the time to start is still to start, as Liu Renzhi said, there will indeed be many well-known actors in today's interview, and Zhang Che has discovered this when he was sorting out his "resume".
Cheered up and began to interview one by one, and after a few interviews like going through the motions, Zhang Che met his first acquaintance.
"Xu Hyun Zhen xi, you were originally from an idol, have you ever studied acting?" Liu Renzhi asked while looking at his resume and glanced at Zhang Che. Because the mark on the amazing Xu Xianzhen's resume is not a triangle to be determined, nor is it a × that means no, but a question mark.
Xu Xianzhen looked at the three interviewers in front of him a little nervously, and wanted to find a familiar figure to seek comfort, but there were three people in front of him, one in a straight suit, two chicken nest heads, and one of the chicken nest heads asked questions like himself, so he couldn't find the familiar person.
What is Zhang Che doing? This kid lowered his head, avoiding the scrutiny of Yoo In-sik from next to him.
"Xu Xianzhen xi?" Producer Wang saw that the three of them were stunned and didn't speak, so he had to remind him out loud, there was no way, there were many more behind, Zhang Che and Liu Renzhi were tired, and he couldn't go anywhere easily.
"Ah, I'm sorry. I've studied acting before, and I've also starred in some music videos, so I have a little acting experience. Xu Xian said embarrassedly.
Looking at Zhang Che, who was a "shrinking turtle" with an iron heart, Liu Renzhi could only start to perform his duties first, and then "torture" Zhang Che when he was done.
"Well, this is a line, you should familiarize yourself with it first, and then perform it according to the requirements above. Yoo In-sik made an exception and gave Xu Hyun-jin a line, instead of saying a few words casually and sending him away.
Producer Wang was a little surprised, in his opinion, Xu Xianzhen does not meet the requirements of any role in the play at all, an idol singer, even if she is an artist of S.M company who has a good relationship with the station, is not a reason for preferential treatment, and he is from the TV Bureau, not the Variety Show Bureau, so he can not give face at all.
Producer Wang turned his head to look at Liu Renzhi and Zhang Che, an old god was sucking coffee, the other was looking down to admire the patterns on the interview table, and only Xu Xianzhen was seriously familiar with the lines and scenes.
Forget it, it's better to have more than one thing, just give these two a face and don't see it.
After an almost "exaggerated" 10 minutes, Yoo In-sik motioned for Seo Hyun-jin to start performing.
The performance is the scene when the heroine gets rid of her identity as a housewife and goes to work in the company for the first time. To be honest, Xu Xianzhen did not show the heroine's momentum and confidence at all, but was cautious, similar to an ordinary newcomer in the workplace.
"Okay, Xu Xianzhenxi, we have a general understanding, and we will inform you when there is a result. After Yoo In-sik left an "official speech", he signaled that Seo Hyun-jin could leave.
As soon as Xu Xianzhen went out, Liu Renzhi kicked Zhang Che and said, "Okay, don't pretend." What's the situation?"
Zhang Che smiled embarrassedly and said, "It's just a friend of an acquaintance, I didn't expect to meet here." ”
I believe you have a ghost! This is the common idea of Yoo In-sik and Producer Wang.
Looking at the obviously unbelieving expressions of the two people in front of him, Zhang Che could only say the topic in embarrassment: "The one just now... Belch... How is Seo Hyun Jinxi doing?"
Liu Renzhi despised Zhang Che for a while, and then said seriously: "I have a little acting foundation, but my temperament is too different from the characters in the play, and I don't have enough acting skills to support it, so I am completely unqualified to play the heroine." ”
Producer Wang also kept nodding beside him, he was really afraid that Zhang Che would use the authority of the artist, so he had to let Xu Xianzhen play the heroine.
"I think so too. Zhang Che also nodded and said, "I didn't say let her play the heroine, some small roles, such as the timid newcomer who entered the workplace with the heroine at the same time, the kind used to set off the image of the heroine." ”
"How can there be such a character?" Liu Renzhi thought for a long time, but he didn't remember that there was such a number one character in the script he had read.
"You just said that if she uses her acting skills, can she support such a role?" Zhang Che did not answer directly, but asked an irrelevant question.
"If it's just a small role with a lot of scenes, I have no opinion. Liu Renzhi instantly understood what Zhang Che meant, this is planning to add a character to it.
He began to speculate about the relationship between Xu Xianzhen and Zhang Che, this has to be a multi-iron relationship to temporarily add a role for a person? Liu Renzhi was a little worried about Zhang Che's "daughter buying laughter", so he hurriedly put forward his own opinion, there are not many scenes, and there are small roles. Without affecting the overall plot, there are some temporary roles of this type in every TV series, which are generally used to do favors or take advantage of the situation, and now it is okay to sell personal favors to Zhang Che.
Producer Wang is naturally also a human spirit, and he also understands what Zhang Che means. His idea is very simple, the director has no objection, it is the writer's right to add what the writer wants to add that does not affect the plot, he is not qualified to object, and in these years, it doesn't matter who is in the circle, maybe he will use it.
"Of course, there won't be many scenes, just a character with a few lines. Zhang Che hurriedly assured that at least this would give Xu Hyun-jin and Park Ji-young an explanation, and he didn't know what to do and wouldn't take risks with his first work.
"Then it's decided, let's start the next interview, right?" Seeing that the two had negotiated, Producer Wang hurriedly signaled to continue the interview, and there were a lot of people behind.
