Chapter 286: Audition Abroad
Lin Baiyu replied "I don't know", Li Weibin did not delay and walked into the company. Lin Baiyu www.biquge.info pen fun pavilion looked indifferent, and also walked into the door of the company in the envy of the rest of the employees.
The gossip spread the fastest, and when Lin Baiyu entered Jiang Qingran's office, she heard Jiang Qingran's first sentence: "I heard that Mr. Jiang specially stopped to talk to you?"
Lin Baiyu sat on the sofa: "Isn't it just a question?" And I answered, he didn't say anything more, and left directly. ”
Jiang Qingran said: "But everyone else says that Mr. Li looks at you differently." ”
She suddenly smiled: "I think so too." You must know that last time, Mr. Li took the initiative to help you ask for a role. ”
Lin Baiyu pouted: "It's not that you don't know what the real situation is. ”
Jiang Qingran said: "I just know that I think he really looks at you differently! Last time you were the best man and bridesmaid with him! Seriously, you two are quite fateful, do you want to consider being my cousin-in-law?"
"Sister Jiang, do you want to retire early?"
"Hmph, even if I don't take you anymore, I can bring other artists, so I won't retire early!"
"Alright, I'm home. Lin Baiyu stood up.
Jiang Qingran hurriedly said: "Okay, I won't make fun of you." ”
After finishing speaking, he muttered very quietly, "I really think my cousin is a little different from you." ”
Lin Baiyu pretended not to hear.
Jiang Qingran took out two scripts and handed them to Lin Baiyu: "Both scripts invite you to be the second female, see which one you want to take?"
Lin Baiyu took the script and flipped through it roughly, one is an idol drama, the setting of the second female is a rude daughter, and the other is a modern drama, the setting is similar to Ni Luochen. Lin Baiyu frowned, the two roles were not challenging, and they were too face-painted, so she didn't want to take them.
"Don't you have any other scripts?" Lin Baiyu put down the two scripts and asked Jiang Qingran.
Jiang Qingran smiled: "I know that you won't choose these two dramas." ”
She opened the drawer in her office, took out another script from it and handed it to Lin Baiyu: "Knowing that you are good at English, you will definitely look at ease with this script." ”
"Foreign scripts?" Lin Baiyu was surprised, "Why did you find me?"
"It's not "Dawn in the Mountains" yet. Jiang Qingran said, ""Morning Dawn in the Mountains and Forests" has won international awards, and you have performed very well in it, and you have been seen by foreign directors. Director Zhao recommended you to the actors of this play. I have to say that the aura that you have with the director is really powerful. ”
Lin Baiyu grinned, she also felt that she was very lucky, she even suspected that the system had done something secretly. After the system swore that she absolutely did not have this ability, Lin Baiyu believed that it was really her own luck.
Lin Baiyu looked down at the script, the script is called "Alien Colleagues", which is a pseudo-science fiction movie, the movie begins with a university professor suddenly resigning, and his colleagues come to see him off and express their incomprehension of his resignation, which opens the story.
In the face of the puzzlement of his colleagues, the protagonist David revealed his identity, he is not an earthling, but an alien from 5,000 years ago, who had to land on Earth because of a problem with the aircraft. He has seen with his own eyes the transformation of human beings from a slave society to today's free and equal society, he has seen the civilization of the two rivers, helped the Egyptian pharaoh design the pyramids, helped Qin Shi Huang build a mausoleum, participated in the French Revolution, participated in the Citi Nation's War of Independence and the Civil War...... That is, he is low-key, otherwise the first president of Citigroup would not have been Washington but him......
The reason why he now graciously confesses his identity is because he has already contacted his home planet, which sent a spaceship to pick him up, and he will be able to leave Earth that night.
At twelve o'clock in the evening, the spacecraft that came to pick up the male protagonist arrived on time, and the male protagonist left the earth in the sight of the blessings of his colleagues......
"Quite an interesting story. Lin Baiyu was full of interest in this script, "When will this movie be made?"
"I don't know, the actor hasn't been determined yet. Jiang Qingran said, "Do you think that if the script is given to you, the role will be given to you? Honey, don't think about beautiful things, you still have to participate in the audition!"
"Audition?" Lin Baiyu is very familiar with this "noun", but she has never participated in an audition to compete for a role, each role is directly assigned to her by the director, think about it, she is indeed very lucky, I am afraid that most actors are envious and jealous of themselves.
"When is the audition?" asked Lin Baiyu expectantly.
"I'll get in touch with Director Capuson first, and then we'll go to Citigroup together. Jiang Qingran said, "Give me your ID card and household registration book, and I will help you apply for a passport and visa." ”
Director Capuson has watched "Dawn in the Mountains and Forests", and he appreciates Lin Baiyu's acting skills very much, and has long intended to let Lin Baiyu play the Asian physics professor in "Alien Colleagues". So, Jiang Qingran used her connections, handled Lin Baiyu's visa as quickly as possible, and took her to Citigroup.
Lin Baiyu took out a ten-yuan dollar bill and handed it to the hotel waiter to make a tip, and sent the person out. Jiang Qingran collapsed on the bed and squinted at her: "Look at your movements, you are really skillful." ”
Of course, when I was in my dream, I lived in Citigroup for many years.
Lin Baiyu smiled slightly: "Before I came, I read a lot of travel magazines and had some understanding of the customs and customs of Lao Mei. ”
Jiang Qingran admired: "It's hard for you to exchange US dollars." ”
Lin Baiyu said: "Didn't you also exchange it?"
Jiang Qingran: "I didn't exchange it?"
Lin Baiyu was surprised: "Then how do you settle the bill with the hotel? You won't pay RMB when we go out later, right?"
Jiang Qingran said with a smile: "I brought a card." ”
Lin Baiyu was surprised: "What card?"
"Credit card!" Jiang Qingran opened his wallet, took out a black card, raised it, and said proudly: "This is a VIP card, which is used in the world, and you can use RMB and US dollars." I'll go to the bank to get some cash later, don't worry, I won't let you wash the dishes after dinner. ”
Lin Baiyu glanced at her: "Forget it, I'll pay the bill myself." ”
"Ah, you conscienceless girl, don't you trust me?"
The next day, the two who were in the best shape went to audition. "Alien Colleagues" is an independent film, not the work of the big companies at Hollywood, so the audition was only held in a private property. When Lin Baiyu and Jiang Qingran arrived, there were several people waiting for auditions in the living room. Two of them are Asian faces, which should be Lin Baiyu's competitors.
These auditioners are different from Lin Baiyu, they should not have read the script of "Alien Colleagues" before, and at this moment, one person is studying it with a piece of paper with lines in his hand. Except for the two Asians, the rest were missing, only Lin Baiyu was missing, and both of them lowered their heads and put their hearts on the lines at a glance. The two Asian actors looked Lin Baiyu up and down with an evaluative eye, and saw that Lin Baiyu looked strange and still had a hint of immaturity, disdain flashed in his eyes, and he was relieved.
Jiang Qingran did her homework before coming, recognized two Asian actors, and whispered to Lin Baiyu to share information: "The Asian in the red coat is Jin Meizhen from the country of sticks, who has been in Hollywood for ten years and has starred in six movies, and there are not many scenes. Dressed in blue is Mitsuko Yamada, a Japanese who starred as the heroine of the great director Stephen's "Geisha Notes". ”
Lin Baiyu only looked at the two of them a little before taking her eyes back: "The two of them don't attach much importance to this movie. ”
Jiang Qingran said: "The total investment of "Alien Colleagues" is only 200,000, which is not comparable to today's tens of millions of films. These actors, who are a little famous, would rather go to blockbuster movies to make soy sauce than waste time participating in such small films. ”
Lin Baiyu smiled: "It seems that I have a lot of hope?"
Jiang Qingran: "No one knows what will happen before the result." You have to do your best to express yourself. ”
"Don't worry, I will. The lion fights the rabbit and has to go all out. ”
Jiang Qingran sighed: "If you really get this role, it can be regarded as opening up the international market, I really didn't expect you to be so fast." I thought it would be at least 10 years before you could go international!"
"No way, luck is coming, and you can't stop it!"
"Why is your tone so hated?"
“……”
The speed of the audition was not slow, and after a while, Kim Mi-jung and Mitsuko Yamada both finished auditioning, and judging from the expressions of the two, they should not have gotten the role.
"Miss Lin Baiyu, I'm glad you came all the way to our audition. Director Capuson greeted Lin Baiyu warmly. There were three people interviewing in total: director Capuson, executive producer Andrew, and screenwriter Robert. Among the three, Capuson's attitude is the best, and he insisted on letting Lin Baiyu star in "Alien Colleagues", while Andrew and Robert have not seen "Dawn in the Mountains", and they don't know Lin Baiyu's acting skills, and they are very uncomfortable with Capuson's thousands of miles to find Lin Baiyu to act in their movies. As far as the two are concerned, it is enough to choose one between Kim Mi-jung and Mitsuko Yamada before, and the acting skills of the two are enough to be qualified for the role of physics professor.
"Thank you, I'm honored to have been invited by you to audition for Alien Colleagues. Lin Baiyu's fluent English surprised the three of them, you must know that Jin Meizhen and Yamada Mitsuko have been in Hollywood for many years, and they still speak English with an accent, which sounds a little weird, but Lin Baiyu has just arrived in Citigroup, and she can speak English fluently without any accent. Based on this, producer Andrew thought it would be good to let this girl play a physics professor.
Screenwriter Robert's eyes turned around Lin Baiyu's face twice, and nodded secretly: Asians' appearance is too flat and featureless, and the facial features of the girl in front of her are a little Western, more photogenic than Jin Meizhen and Yamada Mitsuko.
