Soon, Zhou Xuan got the complete script, and she was very satisfied after reading it. handed over the script to Zhou Mo, and Zhou Mo immediately began to prepare for the audition meeting and other friendships.

Zhou Mo asked the secretary to find Yan Peiru, and planned to tell her about letting her play the second female lead. But when Yan Peiru appeared in front of her with a face like a national treasure, she instantly put the script behind her, and looked at her ex-friend in front of her who had lost a lot of weight after only half a month.

Looking at Yan Peiru's haggard appearance, Zhou Mo couldn't help but complain: "Are you about to die?" Nightlife is important, but overindulgence is not good. ”

Yan Peiru rolled her eyes, threw her sunglasses on Zhou Mo's office, sat opposite her weakly, and said weakly: "What are you looking for me?" ”

Zhou Mo threw the script to her: "My sister's first movie, the second female lead, wants you to act." ”

Yan Peiru was stunned for a moment, took the script, the cover of the script said "Red Face", the screenwriter's name is a gold medal screenwriter in the circle, she opened the script: "The female number one is Su Yi?" ”

"No, the female number one is my sister, and Su Yi will not participate in this play."

Yan Peiru was very surprised by this decision, and now it is rumored that Su Yi will definitely participate in Zhou Xuan's first movie, and although those statements are still vague, they are basically not very good. She also expected this, so she decided from the beginning that she would never wade into this troubled water, but she didn't expect Su Yi to not participate? And Zhou Xuan wants to direct and act himself? It's interesting.

Yan Peiru quietly flipped through the script and said: "There is no other candidate besides me?" ”

"What? Don't want to act? ”

"That's not it, it's just a little surprising that your sister will choose me. Or did you choose me? ”

"We decided after discussing it and felt that you were the best candidate."

Yan Peiru nodded: "Have you selected the people of the other roles?" ”

"No, except for the first and second women, the other roles plan to audition publicly."

Yan Peiru probably flipped through the script and found that the second female and the first female were about to catch up with the male one, and in the end it was a tragic ending, and she secretly sighed in her heart that it was really a good show of love and killing. This script is really good, and Zhou Xuan directed and acted by himself, with this topic, no matter how bad the box office is, it will not be bad. At the beginning, she didn't want to be a foil for Zhou Xuan and Su Yi, so she had no intention of acting, but now in this situation, it is very valuable to take this play. Moreover, you can still play against the lovely Zhou Xuan.

Thinking so, Yan Peiru nodded and agreed: "Let's talk to my agent about the schedule." ”

After talking about things, Yan Peiru didn't stay long, and got up to leave. Zhou Mo looked at her somewhat sunken cheeks, and couldn't help but ask more: "Are you okay lately?" How do you make yourself like this? ”

Yan Peiru glanced at her, didn't say much, put on sunglasses and lightly threw her two words: "It's okay." ”

Because Zhou Xuan plans to make two movies within the year, everything is going on in a state of sprint.

At the same time as the script was sent out, the investment invitation was already underway, the audition would be scheduled a week later, and the members of the studio were already working overtime to make all the preparations before filming, and even screenwriter Meng had already begun to write the second script that Zhou Xuan had set with her.

Everyone thinks that Zhou Xuan is very hardworking, and this kind of energy also makes the people who work with her look at her with admiration, and they have adjusted their mentality and actively cooperated.

Zhou Xuan wants to make a movie, in fact, people in the industry regarded it as a farce at the beginning. Everyone knows that Zhou Xuan is good at acting, but being an actor and being a director are two different things. Being an actor is tired, being a director is even more tiring.

Zhou Xuan has always been a noble goddess who is held by the stars and the moon, and does not eat the fireworks of the world in the eyes of everyone. Such a person shines brightly in front of the camera, is protected like a greenhouse flower, and is only responsible for beauty, as long as he can act, no one will say anything else.

But when she wants to challenge difficult things, everyone will still be skeptical, but no one will say it, after all, who would want to offend the popular goddess? Therefore, everyone has the mentality of watching a good show, and on the other hand, they will cooperate with the performance of the much-anticipated drama, because the fans are really looking forward to it, and no one wants to be the target of the public and be bombarded by Zhou Xuan's fans.

This kind of mentality is not just the idea of irrelevant industry insiders, even the people in Zhou Xuan's studio have this kind of thinking, and who else does Zhou Xuan personally sign it back not think like this? Zhou Xuan, who doesn't even seem to have a temper, wants to be a director? Just kidding, right?

The people in the studio were waiting for the start of work with a negative attitude at first, but when they saw that Zhou Xuan really worked hard to do this thing and tried his best to do his best, their attitude began to change slowly. Zhou Xuan's serious and professional attitude influenced the people around him little by little, and drove everyone's enthusiasm. With the active cooperation of all the staff, the preparations were carried out in an orderly manner.

On the day of the audition, Zhou Xuan took the assistant director and Zhou Mo as the producer to the audition site.

This open audition is for all the roles except for the first and second women, except for the male lead, there are also more than a dozen people in various supporting roles, large and small, so the people who come to audition are crowded throughout the venue. Fortunately, Zhou Mo had the foresight to set the audition in a hotel, and contracted the hotel's grand banquet hall and small conference room, so that the people who came to the audition would not even have a place to sit.

The appearance of Zhou Xuan and several people caused a commotion, and when he passed by the banquet hall, Zhou Xuan glanced at the people sitting inside, there were really all kinds of people. Among the actresses, there are those who she can name and are a little famous, there are also those who she can't name but feel familiar, and there are newcomers who she doesn't feel familiar and can't name.

Because the role of the male number one is more important, the threshold for audition is also set relatively high. But Zhou Xuan considered that this was her first time directing, in addition to her acting skills, she felt that the cooperation of the actors was also very important, so there was no first-line celebrity who was currently popular among the candidates for the male lead. She doesn't want to be constrained by the identity of the other party during filming, she would rather have a worse acting skills but dare not lose her temper after countless NGs.

The first audition for the male number one scene, because the male number one and the female three and the female four have rival scenes, so they are carried out in pairs with the female three. Zhou Xuan grabbed a random paragraph and asked the two of them to perform according to their understanding of the script.

The audition went on quickly, because Zhou Xuan usually doesn't wait for the two of them to finish a whole paragraph, she has always been accurate in looking at people, not to mention acting, if the person who comes in makes her feel uncomfortable, then this person has basically been excluded from the alternatives.

But out of politeness, she would still let the other person perform a short part, maybe just an expression or a line, and then send someone out. If you meet her and think it's okay, let them stay and talk to the next person. This can not only deepen her impression of this person, but also conduct a second review, which greatly improves the efficiency of screening.

According to her years of acting experience, Zhou Xuan can basically know which role in the script this person is suitable for after seeing the actor's appearance and performance style.

She has already eaten the script thoroughly, and she already has a very specific impression of each character in it, as long as she sees a live performance, she can know which role this person can put on. So she chooses people very quickly, even if the person who comes passes the acting skills, if she can't match any role in her mind, she will immediately call the next one.

Even if Zhou Xuan's selection speed is faster than that of ordinary directors, because there are too many people coming, the audition has been going on all day, from morning to evening, and all the people who came to audition have been passed.

Zhou Xuan stretched her waist and glanced at the more than ten points of actor information she had selected in front of her, planning to go back and make the final sorting.

The male number one has been decided, he is a person stuffed in by the co-producer, and his appearance is very consistent with the male number one, although the acting skills are a little lacking, but it is also within the tolerable range, the most important thing is that he has a good temper and has won Zhou Xuan's eyes.

Zhou Xuan felt that since she was the producer, it would be better for her to sell this favor. And the other supporting characters, just in case she left a few more people, so she needs to go through it carefully.

Zhou Mo and the assistant director on the side breathed a long sigh of relief, and after being a foil for a day, they could finally breathe a sigh of relief. On this day, they didn't have a chance to speak at all, basically every time they didn't see anything famous, Zhou Xuan had already called the next one. But even so, they have to pretend to be very serious and professional, and this decoration is really tiring.

Because it was not early, Zhou Mo sent Zhou Xuan home directly. Speaking of actor candidates on the way, Zhou Mo felt that he should leave a few seats on the side of the producer. Zhou Xuan disagreed, saying that if there were people from the producer in the list she selected, then she would just leave them, and if not, she would never want to be stuffed with some people who did not match the image of the character.

Zhou Mo didn't plan to interfere too much in the selection of people, she just said that, and Zhou Xuan didn't agree. She knows that Zhou Xuan values this movie very much, and she doesn't want to disturb Zhou Xuan's rhythm because of the so-called interpersonal relationship, if the producer is really unwilling to back down, then she can just take back the investment, it's a big deal that she is a sole proprietor, and she can't let those people ruin Zhou Xuan's work.

When Zhou Xuan returned home, Su Yi fell asleep on the sofa, and the TV was still on, broadcasting the police and gangster movie that Su Yi had filmed before, but it was already the episodes that were about to end, and there was no role for Su Yi.

Zhou Xuan felt that Su Yi should be waiting for her, her heart was warm, but she was also a little guilty, she had been immersed in work all this day, and she forgot to call Su Yi to say that she might be late.

Zhou Xuan closed the door lightly, walked to the sofa, squatted down in front of Su Yi, and looked at the sleeping Su Yi with a strong sense of belonging. She leaned over and gently dropped a kiss on Su Yi's eyebrows.

Su Yi was awakened by Zhou Xuan's kiss, opened her eyes and saw Zhou Xuan's face in front of her, and softly hooked the corners of her mouth: "Back?" ”

"Well, why don't you go to bed first?"

Su Yi didn't answer her question, propped up and kissed her lips: "Is the audition still smooth?" Tired or not? ”

Zhou Xuanwo entered Su Yi's arms: "I'm tired, I watched a lot of people, so I selected more than a dozen, and the others all acted like a primary school student's evening performance." ”

Su Yi hugged Zhou Xuan and smiled helplessly: "Take your time, your vision can't be too high, the queen." ”

Zhou Xuan raised his hand and punched Su Yi: "I'm a director now!" ”

Su Yi laughed with him: "Yes, yes, Director Zhou, you have a hard day today, do you want to go wash and sleep quickly?" ”

Zhou Xuan straightened up, put on a bad expression, pinched Su Yi's chin and played: "This little actor is good, sleep with the director, serve the director well, the director will let you play the female number one and take the actress." What do you think? ”
