Chapter 0185 - Holding Up the Whole Sky for You (9)
I then called Chen Tian, and he made some progress. This afternoon, he found out those candidate actors, except for Xia Yuwei, who are all outstanding students of major film schools, recommended by the masters or dean-level figures of major faculties, which also shows that Lan Zhiyuan really wants to have a new lineup.
Chen Tian helped me contact Dean Zhou of Kyoto Film and Television Academy, because I was still a little famous and added luster to the school, although Dean Zhou was worried that I was not a newcomer, but finally helped me write a letter of recommendation.
Chen Tian and I agreed to wait for two more days to see if the recommendation letter could be effective. If I can go to the audition through normal channels, I will naturally go through the regular channels.
These 48 hours are indeed quite long, but they are also uneventful. In other words, there was no sound, no response at all.
The first plan failed like this, and I could only take the second plan, which was to take the initiative and go to Lan Zhiyuan's residence with my suitcase.
It is said that because they live in a three-story compound villa, coupled with the confidentiality work in the early stage, the audition was held at Aunt Lan Lan's house.
I arrived with Rocky and Chen Tian, and outside the gate of this upscale community, I was unsurprisingly blocked by the doorman. I was about to call Aunt Lan Lan for help when Xia Yuwei appeared.
Her red Porsche was also blocked out of the door, but the woman got out of the car with a swaggering look on her face, swaggered in front of me and walked up to the doorman, handing over something that looked like an invitation, and the doorman looked at it, then nodded, signaling for her colleague to let her go.
Xia Yuwei walked in front of me in a hurry, she wore a pure white dress today, but her makeup was too heavy, which didn't match this body at all, especially the flaming red lips, which was disgusting to watch. In the false smile, I really don't want to stay.
"Sister Chuxia, is it so coincidental?" Xia Yuwei stood still in front of me, her posture was enchanting, which was not at all what she should be at that age.
I replied in a daze, ignoring her.
"You're not here to see Uncle Lan, are you," Xia Yuwei was startled, "But it seems that you are uninvited, without this, they will never let you in." As he spoke, he shook the thing in front of me a few more times, as if it was deliberately trying to whet my appetite.
My IQ is not low, and I can still guess what it is. "Aren't you afraid of being late, it's very rude to be late as a junior. ”
Xia Yuwei saw that I didn't follow her thoughts, and suddenly lost interest, took exaggerated steps, twisted back into her red Porsche, looked at me defiantly, and entered the villa smoothly.
Watching the car disappear from sight made me furious. Chen Tian and Rocky's faces were not very good, Chen Tian walked up to me and tried to find words to comfort me, "If you can enter the final role by virtue of the door, I don't think it may be what we should strive for." ”
However, just because of a Xia Yuwei, it was not worth giving up a great opportunity. I clenched my fists, I definitely couldn't give up easily until the last moment, I picked up my mobile phone and called Aunt Lan Lan first.
With Aunt Lan's permission, the doorman's threshold can be regarded as passing through relatively smoothly.
When we arrived at the designated place, the enthusiastic Aunt Lan Lan was already waiting downstairs in the villa, I knew that this was her goodness, and it was also because of Chen Yanfei's face. Sure enough, after a few words of greeting, she talked about Chen Yanfei, and it seems that the friendship is indeed not shallow.
Rocky and Chen Tian stayed in the car and waited because they didn't think it was convenient, and I was the only one who followed Aunt Lan into the villa.
Everything in the hall was normal, quiet and peaceful, except for a middle-aged aunt who was cleaning up the housework.
Aunt Lan pointed to a room on the second floor, "That's where they interviewed." ”
I looked up, and from my vantage point I could only see that the door was closed and no sound could be heard. However, an interview scene still came to mind, and the atmosphere was solemn and serious, which made me nervous.
Aunt Lan pulled me to sit on the sofa to the side, motioned for the aunt to take out my suitcase, and said vigorously, this is too coincidental.
She wasn't in a hurry to mention the auditions, so I waited patiently, and since they were all in, she would always have her arrangements.
After sitting for about ten minutes, in the room where the audition was held, a young girl walked out of it crying and ran down the stairs.
Aunt Lan looked at the girl's back, shook her head, came back and sighed at me, "My old man is usually like a child, but when it comes to movies, it's completely like a different person, there are more than a dozen little girls who have left crying and leaving in the past few days, and you have to be mentally prepared in early summer." ”
I was puzzled, did this mean that Lan Zhiyuan had a strange temperament and was difficult to handle, or that his standards were too strict? But her words also gave me a reassurance, listening to this meaning, I at least have a chance.
Soon, another girl came down from upstairs, and she was relatively calm, and after saying a polite goodbye to Aunt Lan, she also left.
Aunt Lan motioned for me to stay here quietly, and she went upstairs first.
After a while, the familiar old gentleman walked out of the mysterious room with a leisurely gait, and his eyes immediately locked on me, first shocked, then complicated playfulness, and then calm, and when Lan Zhiyuan stood in front of me, his face was expressionless, and there was no emotion in his eyes.
He sat down indifferently, then waved his hand for me to sit down, but did not speak, his eyes went back and forth between me and the two boxes several times.
This is not the old gentleman I met that day at all, and the old man who played tricks on porcelain is not the same momentum. Originally, I wanted to use this set first, but now, I don't even have the courage to speak.
"The box, is it yours?" the old man finally spoke, "You are Lin Chuxia?"
As if it were interrogating a prisoner, I still had no choice but to answer seriously.
"Alright, everything is back to its original owner, if you have nothing else to do, you can go. Lan Zhiyuan got up as he spoke, preparing to go back upstairs.
Don't forget, I was cheated by you for a thousand yuan for no reason, and I didn't even say a word of thanks, but I gave an eviction order so quickly.
I clenched my fists violently, and first glanced at Aunt Lan Lan, she was encouraging me with her eyes, and I had more courage, "Mr. Lan, I have other things to ......
He paused and turned his back to me.
I couldn't see his expression, although my psychology was uncertain, but I was still ready to make a last fight, "I know that you came back this time to prepare for a movie, and I came here to hope that you can give me a chance." ”
"Why?"
I don't really understand.
"Why should I give you a chance?" he asked, as if sensing my incomprehension, and asked again in detail.
"From my point of view, I want to give myself a greater challenge and development, and it is the best opportunity to work with a big director like you, and from your point of view, you are bound to choose the most suitable actress, so it is also a good choice to increase the number of candidates appropriately. ”
He didn't speak, his back to me.
"Perhaps, I may not be the most suitable person, but I take the liberty of narcissism, and I think you can consider this little fate that is rare between us?" I looked at the two suitcases, and thought to myself, if you are still so ruthless and unrighteous, then I will return the thousand dollars with you, and if you want to be in love, then you can do it more thoroughly.
The old gentleman was silent for a moment, and then finally turned around, "Do you think a thousand dollars is more appropriate?"
"Huh?" the guy took the initiative to mention.
"What thousand dollars?" Aunt Lan Lan asked inexplicably.
"Nothing. Lan Zhiyuan suddenly glanced at me with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and then waved at me, "Give you ten minutes, follow me upstairs." ”
I glanced at Aunt Lan Lan, she was still puzzled, but she still didn't forget to make a cheering gesture at me. I smiled reluctantly, and quickly followed Lan Zhiyuan's steps and entered the audition room. It turned out to be a two-piece house with a cave.
Outside, there were two rows of sofas, and at this time there were four girls sitting, and when they saw Lan Zhiyuan pushing the door in, they all got up and respectfully signaled, one of them was Xia Yuwei. As soon as she saw Lan Zhiyuan following me, her face suddenly changed.
But given that Lan Zhiyuan was still there, Xia Yuwei didn't dare to say anything, and tried her best to maintain a respectful demeanor on her face, but those vicious eyes had already betrayed her. Lan Zhiyuan didn't have time to pay attention to these people, and led me forward in a big stride into the room inside.
This old gentleman is almost old, and he is still walking like a fly, and I feel a lot of pressure when I follow behind.
There are really no caves here, there are still four people sitting in the back room, three men and one woman, I hurriedly glanced at it, and I can recognize one of them at a glance, that lady is a well-known gold medal screenwriter in the industry, and there are no less than ten excellent works that the audience is familiar with, and the middle-aged man is also a very good director.
Extrapolating like this, the other two are naturally not to be underestimated.
Lan Zhiyuan first returned to the middle position and sat down, and then casually stretched out his hand and motioned for me to sit on the chair opposite. I immediately felt nervous, facing five big names in the industry, which was far more serious than any of my previous auditions.
However, I just wanted to give it a try, and I was not fully prepared.
The bigger the name, the more it will not play according to common sense, so when it came up, Lan Zhiyuan did not introduce me to the identities of the few people here, nor did he chat with me, but asked me again with a gloomy face, "Do you know what kind of movie we are going to shoot this time?"
