Chapter 13: Preparing for the Audition
So that's the case, Ning Hao finally understood, and then said a little like a memory: "Yanxi didn't tell you about the things back then?"
"Heh, do you think this kind of thing is very important, naturally I went to investigate it myself. Speaking of which, it's rude to investigate a person. Zhou Xian shrugged his shoulders, but there was no trace of apology in his eyes, and he said with some disdain, "This is not an old saying, you can't have the heart to hurt people, and you can't have the heart to defend people, let alone for people who want to get close to your cousin." ”
Ning Hao stared at Zhou Xian and said seriously: "I will only say this matter once, I was wronged, and since Yanxi didn't mention it, don't talk to him about it anymore, it's all in the past." ”
Through Ning Hao, he explained that memory to Zhou Xian.
Two people sat on a long couch.
"So you are still a hero to save the United States, and in the end you sacrificed yourself, which is simply a model of deep merit and fame. Zhou Xian laughed a few times as if he had heard about a story, and then shook his head, "I've seen a lot of people like you who talk a lot, so I will deceive the ignorant little girl." Dream about me. I think you are expelled from the school because you usually misbehave and have character problems. In addition to racism, have you ever smoked laughing gas and smoked marijuana? You know, international students just like these tunes. ”
Ning Hao shook his head, and didn't bother to explain: "Believe it or not, but you don't have to tell Yanxi about this matter, there are some details I don't want her to know." ”
After Ning Hao finished speaking, he began to choose a desk and chair on his own.
"Hmph, I think you're a thief. Of course I wouldn't tell my cousin about this kind of thing, but I'll go and find out, anyway, I'm keeping an eye on you, don't think anything bad. ”
Zhou Xian leaned back on the sofa and looked at Ning Hao with a warning look.
"Oh, then you're on your own. Ning Hao picked out the sofas, tables and chairs by himself, walked around, and finally said to the business manager, "This, this, and this ......."
Soon, a few tables and chairs were selected, and in order to increase the company's aura and credibility, although Ning Hao was in pain, he still threw out forty or fifty thousand at once.
Before the audition, the production cost of the film was already one-twentieth of the cost.
"Okay, they'll send over the big ones they chose, but I want to take them back now, so please." Ning Hao looked at the lazy Zhou Xian and gestured.
Zhou Xian's facial features were wrinkled together, extremely reluctant.
"Your sister said, your right to use it is mine these days. Get up, quick. Ning Hao patted Zhou Xian's shoulder and commanded as a matter of course.
"Damn, Ning Hao, I'm going to draw a circle and curse you! I finally came to Hangzhou to play, not only became a cleaner, became a driver, but now I have to work as a porter for you. ”
The two returned to Yuanhua Wangzuo, and went up and down several times before moving up.
Zhou Xian was about to go to the general manager's room out of breath, only to hear Ning Hao's haunting voice coming from the audition room: "Zhou Xian, I think it's still a bit of a problem to be placed like this, the space sequence is not too comfortable, and it needs to be adjusted." ”
"Damn!" Zhou Xian leaned his back against the wall and slapped it hard, "I now believe that you are a graduate of the directing department, you can really command people, you are a Virgo!"
He muttered, but after Ning Hao took out Yanxi's chicken feather arrow, Zhou Xian was very honest.
"Move your ass again...... Yes, at the elevation point, yes, at the coming point, yes, that's it......"
Tossed for a few more hours.
"My God, I know why you use DV to shoot movies, if you let you use film, you are burning money, isn't it just a few centimeters apart, you have to adjust back and forth, what space, what layout, exhausting me......" Zhou Xian finally couldn't stand it, and fell headlong on the sofa, his eyes closed, panting, he hadn't been hollowed out like this for a long time.
Ning Hao looked at the new office with satisfaction, looked at the whole layout, was very satisfied, and sat down sweating profusely: "Zhou Xian, you did a good job today, are you interested in coming to my crew to help next time, I lack a lighting engineer, sound engineer, props master, well, and a set designer......"
Zhou Xian closed his eyes and lay on the sofa, he didn't even have the strength to open his eyes, and after a long time, he raised a middle finger!
"Since you want to wear multiple hats and have such confidence, it's such a pleasant decision, and I originally wanted you to choose one.
Zhou Xian, I've worked hard for you today, I'll drive you back in a while. ”
Zhou Xian opened his eyes angrily and stared at Ning Hao: "I have never seen such a brazen person, Ning Hao, you have refreshed my new understanding of shamelessness, and you want to send me home, do you think I don't know your bad intentions, and you want to see my sister?"
Bang, the office door was closed, Ning Hao looked at the door, a little speechless, I really didn't want to take the opportunity to see your sister.
Back in the general manager's office, Ning Hao took off the DV machine on the cabinet, walked back and forth in the office, imagining the scene of the actor in front of him, and walked to the audition room after a while, facing the arranged furniture and desk, very nervous and full of expectations.
It's fun to feel the panning feeling that is unique to DV movies.
Now that the script has been made, the scenes that should be there are all in my mind, and the only thing missing is the actors.
Especially for a small-budget movie like Ning Hao, if you want to ferment through word-of-mouth, the actors in it are especially important.
A good movie naturally needs a good script and a good director, but it is the actors who are more intuitive, especially this kind of film with a bit of plot.
Especially the characters with dialect accents in the pictures in Ning Hao's mind, only the right actors can present them, and the audience can feel that if you change the actor, all the flavors will change.
In this regard, Ning Hao already has a preliminary candidate in his mind, of course, there is another key reason that with his current funds, he can't hire a good actor at all.
So, tomorrow's audition is crucial.
Just as Ning Hao was thinking, the mobile phone rang, Ning Hao put down the DV, took out the mobile phone and looked at it, and it was connected: "Hey, Yanxi." ”
"Well, Ning Hao, is it going well today? Zhou Xian, this guy is not lazy, right?" Chen Yanxi's voice was as gentle as water, and a sweet smile with dimples naturally appeared in Ning Hao's mind.
"He's good, he's good, he's good. Ning Hao sat on the sofa, smiled, and asked, "How are things going on over there?"
"Well, okay. Actually, I secretly went to a crew audition, but unfortunately I wasn't selected. Chen Yanxi said with some loss.
"Ha, then you still have to wait for my heroine. Ning Hao joked half-jokingly, and then comforted seriously, "Yanxi, believe me, you will definitely become an excellent actor." ”
Ning Hao silently counted in his heart that as long as he waited for that movie to be released, you would be popular all over the country.
"Well, thank you. Chen Yanxi smiled reluctantly, thinking in her heart, in fact, I just want to try acting, and I will have enough acting skills to support me to be your heroine in the future. ”
The two chatted again, encouraged each other, and then hung up the phone.
……
On the second day, Ning Hao waited in the audition room with great ambition.
