Chapter 231: First Sight of Huo Jianhua
Eleven a.m.
Capital International Airport.
Huo Jianhua and his agent Lian Junjie walked out of the airport lightly.
"Junjie, did the crew really notify me to audition?" asked Huo Jianhua uncertainly.
"Sure, they called me the night before yesterday and sent me an email. ”
"Alas, I didn't expect that the crew in Yanjing would notify me of the audition. ”
As I said a long time ago, there are few actors on Taiwan Island on the mainland, so there will be more opportunities. Well, I'm not wrong, right?"
"It's just an audition, and it's not certain if you can pass it. ”
"I think you have a high probability of passing the audition this time, otherwise the crew would not take the initiative to reimburse the round-trip ticket. If you take 10,000 steps back, you should have traveled if you didn't pass the audition. ”
Huo Jianhua smiled: "Since people have notified me of the audition, I will definitely go all out and strive to pass." ”
"Don't put so much pressure on yourself, it's just the first try. It's not that you don't know that the company has arranged a new play for you. It's just that for other reasons, the boot time has been postponed to October this year, so it's easier. ”
The two took a taxi to the Confused Hotel, found a fast food restaurant nearby, had lunch and rested for a while, and at 1:50 in the afternoon, the two came to the crew of "Pink Girl" ten minutes early.
Under the arrangement of the staff, at two o'clock, Huo Jianhua walked into the audition room and began his first audition in the mainland crew.
"Hello teachers, I'm actor Huo Jianhua from Taiwan. ”
"Tell me about yourself......"
As director Sun Yaxing spoke, Huo Jianhua's audition began.
Sun Yaxing asked the staff to contact Lian Junjie the day before yesterday, and the latter deliberately postponed it for a day and only accompanied Huo Jianhua to audition today, just to give Huo Jianhua a day to prepare.
The audition time is actually very short, less than ten minutes.
During this period, Huo Jianhua's performance was decent, probably because there were certain differences between the entertainment circles on Taiwan Island and the mainland, and he was a little nervous.
However, he still showed his expressiveness in front of the camera very well, completed two short scene performances set by the director, and showed his acting skills.
At the end of the audition, Huo Jianhua was about to leave, but Sun Yaxing stopped him.
"Wait a minute. ”
"Good. ”
Huo Jianhua was very strange, thinking that the director had something to say to him.
As a result, Sun Yaxing asked the camera next to him first: "How is it?"
The camera gestured: "On camera!"
Then Sun Yaxing looked at Mai Xiaoyu, Mai Xiaoyu nodded, and asked Huo Jianhua: "If the crew asks you to play the leading role, what is the salary you are looking forward to, and are there any provisoes?"
Shouldn't the salary, proviso, or something be discussed at the end of the day and at the same time?
I'm just trying it for the first time, I haven't even tried the role, and there are too many steps to skip!
Mai Xiaoyu's "stick" almost didn't stun Huo Jianhua.
He paused for a moment and said, "I didn't think about it. ”
"Now I think. ”
Is it necessary?
Huo Jianhua was unsure and looked at director Sun Yaxing.
Sun Yaxing introduced: "This is Mr. Mai of Mengren Film and Television, and he is also the investor of this TV series. ”
Huo Jianhua thought for five minutes, Sun Yaxing was a little impatient, and then said: "In terms of salary, my agency will definitely have requirements, and I don't have any requirements for salary at present, I just hope that there will be filming, and the quality of the script of this drama is good and the production level is high." As for the proviso, no. ”
"The quality of the script is passable, and the production level is high?" Mai Xiaoyu muttered and said with a smile: "What do you think of the quality of the script of "Pink Girl"?"
"I've read comics online, but I haven't read the script, so I don't know. ”
"Okay, then I'll show you the script. Director Sun, give him the script and let him audition. ”
"The role of 'Wang Hao'?"
"Yes. ”
Sun Yaxing took out a prepared script line, as well as the biography of "Wang Hao", and asked the staff to send it to Huo Jianhua.
"You have ten minutes to prepare, and in ten minutes I'm going to see your understanding of the character......"
……
Lian Junjie had been waiting outside the audition room, uncertain.
Ten minutes ago, he asked the crew how long the actor's normal initial audition time is, and the answer he received ranged from five to ten minutes.
But Huo Jianhua has been in for more than 40 minutes, and he hasn't come out yet, and he has a faint feeling - there is a play!
It's not a guess, there are clues to follow.
The reimbursement of round-trip airfares is the best proof of this!
After Huo Jianhua went in for almost an hour, he finally came out with a blank expression.
Lian Junjie immediately greeted him and asked excitedly, "How is it?"
"Director Qi will look for you in a moment. ”
"Who is Director Qi?"
"Actor assistant director, he came to you to negotiate a contract. ”
Lian Junjie was taken aback: "I'll you, aren't you auditioning? After going in for so long, it has progressed to the point of negotiating a contract?"
"I don't know what's going on, it's weird. ”
Lian Junjie thought about it for a while, and pulled Huo Jianhua to the stairwell: "Tell me about your audition." ”
The process of auditions is not logical.
Huo Jianhua is not like those actors who are stuffed in, they have read the script before the audition, and they are fully prepared to audition directly.
He came to the audition this time only for the first time, and he didn't even read the script, but he completed all the steps from audition to signing at one time.
Before leaving the audition room, director Sun Yaxing also asked him to tell his agent that the actor assistant director would negotiate a contract with Lian Junjie.
It feels unreasonable to have Sun Yaxing's group of examiners in the audition room.
But everyone understands that the biggest thing in the crew is not the examiner, but the investor, so no one talks much.
Sun Yaxing took Assistant Director Qi and asked Mai Xiaoyu and others about the precautions when negotiating the contract.
Mai Xiaoyu said: "It's normal." How you talked to the actors before, how you talk about it now. But I have one thing to remind you, grandson, hurry up and finalize the actors, don't delay the start-up. ”
"Don't worry, Mr. Mai, I have arrangements to ensure that the start-up will not be delayed. By the way, what's the upper limit of his salary?"
Mai Xiaoyu thought for a while: "Four thousand in a single episode." He's a newcomer and couldn't be taller. ”
Three days later, Director Qi came with news that Huo Jianhua's film appointment was completed. The salary is three thousand eight, and there are no miscellaneous proviso, but the schedule is strictly stipulated. Because he will take over the self-made drama of the agency in the second half of the year.
Later, the actor of "Yu Lu" was also selected - Chen Zihan, the actress recommended by Liu Tao.
It's not that only Chen Zihan is suitable for playing "Yu Lu", but because Mai Xiaoyu deliberately sold Liu Tao's face.
Two days later, the crew of "Pink Girl" was ready, the location was selected, and the people who selected the scenery in the East China Sea arranged the hotel, and the crew moved to the East China Sea. The staff and actors have entered the group one after another, and the start-up ceremony will be held soon.
Mai Xiaoyu also went to the East China Sea, but not with "Pink Girl", but with Xiao Xing to Hailian Cinema to discuss the release of "Crazy Stone". (To be continued.) )
