Chapter 36: Green and Yellow (Second Update)
The audition for the second female lead of the crew of "Marriage Knot" lasted until 11 o'clock, and after the audition, Wang Baoguo and several assistant directors and producers stayed in the audition room to discuss the next things.
Wang Baoguo sat on the main seat and took the lead in speaking: "The person who is the second female is selected, it is Su Qian." Ru Yi, who auditioned today, can let her play the female No. 3, as for the role of the heroine Shen Susu, she pushed everyone who auditioned a few days ago and used Tang Qiu. ”
Wang Baoguo's words were categorical, without a trace of discussion, and directly decided on the choice of actors.
Of course, this is the confidence of a big director, and he has the absolute right to cast.
Several assistant directors knew Wang Baoguo's temper and personality and did not dare to speak, saying that everything was based on the chief director.
The producer coughed lightly and spoke: "That, Director Wang, there is no problem with the selection of female No. 2 and No. 3." But isn't it a bit hasty to choose this female number one? Isn't there a suitable one among the artists who auditioned for the female number one a few days ago?"
The producer had an embarrassed expression, there were so many big names in the candidates, but he chose a little star who was not popular and debuted less than two years ago, is such a big investment and production a joke?
However, the director in front of him was Wang Baoguo, so he did not refuse directly, but persuaded tactfully.
Wang Baoguo's face remained unchanged, his fingers moved on the table, and he spoke: "I am the director of this play, the scenes in the script, the characters and the fate of the characters are the most clear and profound to me, I know what kind of actor I want." ”
Speaking of the middle, the producer's face was fine, and he said: "Tang Qiu's temperament and image are very similar to Shen Susu, she is acting in her true colors." ”
After listening to this, the producer knew that he was making up his mind, and there was no expression on his face, he just shrugged his shoulders and said, "Director Wang, I can't seem to refuse." However, before you sign a contract with the other party, remember to convince the company and the people in the investment department. ”
After saying that, the producer didn't stay long, picked up his briefcase and left the audition room, and the other two behind-the-scenes personnel followed him away.
At this time, Wang Baoguo and the two assistant directors were left in the room.
Wang Baoguo habitually touched his pocket, remembered that the cigarette was accepted by his wife, and then asked Wu Xiaojiang for one, picked up the lighter, lit a cigarette and smoked it.
"Director Wang, you can't control yourself from smoking, let your sister-in-law know Be careful that you can't enter the house tonight. Assistant director Wu Xiaojiang teased.
Wang Daowen, another assistant director, laughed when he heard this. He knew that Mrs. Wang was very good at managing Wang's catheter.
Wang Baoguo played tricks in the crew and was resolute in his work, but he confessed to his wife in the face of him. The notoriously rake ears in the circle.
Wang Baoguo is 50 years old this year, and because he has been filming for a long time and has some stomach problems due to his busy work, Mrs. Wang ordered him not to smoke.
Wang Baoguo smiled bitterly, his wife has been angry several times because of this. But Wang Baoguo really couldn't hold it back, probably because of the pressure recently.
Huaguo's current TV drama market is basically divided up by youth idol dramas, urban romance dramas, and historical costume dramas.
And what he wants to shoot this time is a Republic of China drama, and the past few years have been the hottest time for Republic of China dramas, and now it has cooled and declined.
Therefore, he plans that the male and female protagonists must find famous stars, and with him as a director, he should be able to make up for some disadvantages and attract the attention of many people.
A few days ago, at the female No. 1 audition site, it was not that there were no famous stars, on the contrary, there were many popular stars who came to audition.
But when they stood in this room, standing in the camera, he was disappointed.
As a veteran director who has been filming TV series for more than ten years, he has never wanted a vase of beauties with a variety of appearances.
What he wants is a professional actor with excellent acting skills, and he doesn't want to use those people because his temperament and image don't match.
Thinking of the audition that day, Wang Baoguo sighed deeply, maybe he was old, so he was a little too optimistic about the current situation in the circle.
Some actors who have played classic roles and have both strength, beauty and fame are gradually retiring, and those real actors are no longer young.
And now this circle is full of some traffic flowers whose acting popularity is not proportional, or some small newcomers who have not yet grown up.
In general, at present, there is an impetuous atmosphere in the circle, the artists are inflated, and they look prosperous, but there are actually many drawbacks, and those real actor resources are in a state of scarcity.
As for Tang Qiu, although his facial features are not top-notch, his temperament is rare in the circle. And this fresh and orchid-like temperament is in line with Shen Susu.
As for her acting skills, although she still needs to be honed, judging from her response, she should be very similar to Shen Susu's character, so she is acting in her true colors.
Su Qian, who auditioned for the second female lead, also had good acting skills, and she could also play the role of the female number one, but on the one hand, he set Tang Qiu, and on the other hand, there was no other suitable candidate for the role of Liu Lina.
This character is a beauty in the early stage, but there is not much image to speak of in the later stage, let alone complex experiences and personalities.
Liu Lina's character is not likable, and there are not many famous actors to audition.
Wang Baoguo thought that he had finished smoking a cigarette, and he asked Wu Xiaojiang for another cigarette.
said to the two: "The stars who can really afford the big production this time are all male actors, Fan Hua and Liu Sheng, who play the male lead. Their treatment conditions can be made a little higher. After all, they have a heavier burden in the later publicity. There is also Liu Sheng, who plays the second male lead, this person's coffee position is bigger than that of the female protagonist and the second female lead, so he greeted him in advance and was psychologically prepared. ”
The two assistant directors nodded at the same time, they understood this kind of rule, and they would mention it when signing the contract.
Wang Baoguo continued to speak: "Next, arrange for several main actors to sign contracts as soon as possible, and let them prepare for the start of filming during the Chinese New Year." ”
The two assistant directors then nodded their heads in clarity.
After negotiating some work, the three of them had a meal together at a nearby restaurant and then separated.
……
Ru Yi has been in a bad mood after the audition.
The agent Xu Wei didn't understand her thoughts, and seeing her sad face, Xu Wei couldn't help but speak: "As for it, although the character is the second female lead in a big production, her personality is not likable, and there are a lot of pictures that ruin her image." As for the other roles, such as the female number three, I said hello at the beginning, and it is no surprise that you can play it. That female No. 3 is much more likable than female No. 2. ”
Ru Yi did not refute her words, in the eyes of many people, playing a kind and beautiful female supporting role, and even a vicious female supporting role, is better than the cowardly and debauched Liu Lina who smokes big cigarettes.
She couldn't think of anything to argue, but she just felt good about the role. After reading the script, what impressed her the most was not the pure Shen Susu, not the kind and generous Liu Yunyun, but the cowardly and selfish Liu Lina.
