Chapter 34 Selected

The casting interview of the crew only took half a day and ended. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoAll students who participated in the interview received a notice from the department on behalf of the crew, and the results of the interview will be posted on the department's bulletin board within a week, and everyone can go there to check whether they have been selected.

Gu Hanwen no longer has any hope that he will be selected. In his eyes, his performance was not perfect at the time, and there was still a lot to improve. Besides, at that time, the questions before the interview, I don't know if it would annoy Director Zhao, if he didn't like his way of asking questions, then the possibility of him getting the role was almost zero.

Therefore, in this casting interview, he felt that he had little chance of success. However, this interview also made him realize what his problem was. Although he has worked hard in the past few years to learn Cai Yuanwei's sleek way of dealing with people, he has also achieved good results. But at the critical moment, his upright and more honest nature will resurface. This interview also reminded him that he actually hasn't really understood the original meaning of tactfulness, at least in terms of observing words and feelings, what kind of words to say on what occasions, he still doesn't do well enough. Gu Hanwen secretly thought of Cai Yuanwei, if she was there at the time, she would definitely not mess things up like him. Next time, he can definitely do better.

At this time, Cai Yuanwei, who had always been mistaken by Gu Hanwen for being somewhere abroad, was sitting in a room in a five-star hotel in S City at this moment. Just like the photo she sent to Gu Hanwen, Cai Yuanwei has long since faded away from her previous youthful and immature appearance and become mature after several years of studying abroad and busy work. Although she is only 19 years old now, the social experience of her previous life, as well as her previous study and work experience, have already settled between her eyebrows and eyes, and she has a calm, introverted, and intellectual charm all over her body. It is only in a smile that her face occasionally reveals some girlish agility and liveliness, making it impossible to tell her age from the appearance.

In the past three years, in addition to completing the professional course of fashion design, Cai Yuanwei has not given up her job in a film and television company. However, because Tang Ren Film and Television Company has not yet reached the five-year agreed period, she rarely interferes in Wang Shouyi's work arrangement, and usually talks to Wang Shouyi on the phone, only to discuss some situations encountered at work. But Hong Kong's Millennium Superstar Company is her old camp, although Uncle Quan helps her take care of it, but many major decisions, Uncle Quan will still find her to decide. Therefore, in the past few years, Cai Yuanwei has taken advantage of her memory to direct Uncle Quan to invest in a lot of popular plays in her previous life. For Gu Hanwen's first TV series "Dandelion's Promise" in her previous life, she naturally will not forget it.

This casting in the Drama Academy is also the result of wrestling with all parties. As the investor of the crew, Cai Yuanwei could have designated Gu Hanwen as the male lead in the play. But because this drama needs to be released in the mainland, if the distribution is to go smoothly, Wang Shouyi suggested that she should not do this, and still take care of some local stakeholders. That's why this casting event appeared. Although some compromises were made, Cai Yuanwei was convinced that even if she cast openly, Gu Hanwen would definitely be selected.

Tonight's dinner will decide the main role of this play, so Cai Yuanwei does not dare to ignore it. After a hurried dress, she went downstairs to the dining room and pushed open the door of a private room. In the box, Wang Shouyi, Director Zhao, and Mr. Li were already waiting for her in the room.

Mr. Li stood up first and greeted her respectfully in Cantonese: "Hello, Miss Cai! ”

Cai Yuanwei gestured with her jaw head, "You were sent by Uncle Quan, right?" We'll talk more about that later. ”

At this time, Wang Shouyi and Director Zhao also stood up, and Wang Shouyi helped the two of them introduce each other: "Director Zhao, this is my goddaughter, and she is also the producer of your crew this time." This is director Zhao Jun, a well-known director in our industry, and he is very experienced in directing idol dramas. ”

Cai Yuanwei took the initiative to shake hands with Director Zhao, and greeted warmly: "Hello Director Zhao! I'm Cai Yuanwei, you can call me Xiao Cai or Xiao Wei. ”

Director Zhao also greeted Wang Shouyi at this time, and praised Wang Shouyi: "I learned about you from Mr. Wang just now, Xiaowei is really the dragon and phoenix among people, she did this at a young age, and the future life is terrifying, and the future life is terrifying!" ”

"It's over!" Cai Yuanwei was polite, and everyone sat down to talk. Mr. Li became their waiter, pouring tea and handing out water.

Everyone chatted and chatted, and they talked about the casting interview at the drama school two days ago. Cai Yuanwei asked Director Zhao at this time: "I went to the school two days ago, did you choose the right person?" Have you decided on the roles? ”

"The female number one and the female number two have been decided a long time ago, and the male number two has also been selected, and now there are two candidates for the male number one, see which one Xiaowei is your opinion?" Director Zhao replied at this time.

"Hehe, for what kind of person to choose, Director Zhao should be better than me, how can Director Zhao ask my opinion?"

"As an investor, you also have the right to choose actors!"

"Then let me listen, which two people are the candidates? What does that look like? ”

"I don't need to say much, no matter how much I say, I don't have to look at it myself to get an image. If you look at the video of these two people, you will know everything. Director Zhao took out a miniature video camera from his bag at this time and opened the video data to show her.

Cai Yuanwei took the camera and looked at it, and what caught her eye was Gu Hanwen's familiar and upright figure. From his entry into the door, his conversation with Director Zhao, to his later appearance and going out after the play, it was all recorded in the short film. Another part of the video is a video of an interview with another student she doesn't know.

After Cai Yuanwei patiently watched the two videos, she suppressed the small excitement in her heart and some feelings that she couldn't explain, and didn't rush to recommend which one, but turned her head and asked Director Zhao calmly: "Director Zhao thinks that these two people have any aspects that make it difficult for you to make a decision?" ”

The appearance and temperament of these two people are very in line with the setting of the script, and in terms of deduction ability, the two are similar, but they are ...... These two are too evenly matched, it's really hard to decide! ”

Cai Yuanwei was stunned for a moment, saying this as if she hadn't said it, and turned her head to look at Mr. Li suspiciously. Mr. Li stepped forward and whispered in her ear: "Director Zhao knows that Gu Hanwen has a relationship with our company, but the other one is a relative of Wang Guoqiang and Wang Dao, who I heard in the industry that he has something to do with the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. ”

Cai Yuanwei understood as soon as she heard it. The old fox didn't want to offend the leader, but because she was an investor, she didn't want to brush her people down, so he kicked the ball back to her and let her make a black face. It's just about Gu Hanwen, no matter how reluctant Cai Yuanwei is, she has to take his ball.

Cai Yuanwei despised him in her heart, spit on him hatefully, but with a smile on her face, she pretended to be puzzled and asked Mr. Li: "I heard that one of these two students was born by escort, right?" ”

"Yes, among these two students, Gu Hanwen is guaranteed to be admitted to school."

"Those who can be guaranteed to be admitted to school should be very good no matter how you say it, Director Zhao, don't you say? And in this video, this classmate pays more attention to details, and what he said is also very reasonable. And the other one, although the appearance and temperament are also good, but they will only come in and play step by step, without a place to think for themselves, and there is no consciousness and motivation to pursue perfection. Director Zhao, do you think I said that, right? ”

Director Zhao is not stupid to be able to get to this position today, he knows the meaning of Cai Yuanwei's words when he listens to it, he nodded when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "It's still Xiaowei insightful, it's true." ”

Cai Yuanwei couldn't help but complain in her heart, it wasn't that she was insightful, but that the reasons for refusal had been found for him, and he could still be relaxed, of course it was good.

After solving the selection of the leading role, Cai Yuanwei felt the temperament of this director, so she directly put forward her own conditions and requirements, and the investment budget can be proposed by Director Zhao, but how the budget is allocated must have a clear list for her. And the makeup photos of the starring actor must be given to her. After Director Zhao responded one by one, he left satisfied, full of wine and food.

After Cai Yuanwei sent Director Zhao away, she couldn't help but complain to Wang Shouyi: "Godfather, where did you dig this director from?" I doubt he'll be able to do it! ”

Wang Shouyi also said a little helplessly: "Your script is okay, but since you are all newcomers, no one dares to say whether it can be sold or not." I can't look down on the big-name directors in the industry, and I can't look down on the bad ones, so I can choose and choose, this Zhao Jun is okay. Taking advantage of the fact that the theme of this tragic idol drama is still relatively popular, let's hurry up and shoot it first, and we will discuss the marketing and distribution in the later stage. ”

Cai Yuanwei doesn't want to settle, "If you want to go smoothly in the later marketing, the quality of the film must be guaranteed to a certain extent." Especially now that there are so many idol dramas in Taiwan, we always have to be a little different. ”

Wang Shouyi comforted her and said: "Although Director Zhao is a little sleek, he is still okay in directing, so you don't have to worry too much about this." ”

Cai Yuanwei still trusts Wang Shouyi very much, and since he has his guarantee, she will no longer insist on it. It's just that she remembered that the idol drama "Meteor Garden" in her previous life would be introduced to China for broadcast almost next year, causing a lot of sensation and topic. If she wants to sell this drama and have a certain rating, she must avoid this drama in advance.

So before leaving, Cai Yuanwei reminded Wang Shou again, telling him to pay attention to the fact that this drama cannot be broadcast later than the middle of the next year, otherwise it will not sell at a good price. Wang Shouyi couldn't help but wonder when he heard this: "How can you be sure that you won't be able to sell it for a good price after that time?" ”

Cai Yuanwei couldn't think of an excuse for a while, so she had to play tricks: "Oh, godfather, you can listen to me." Haven't you heard that I have a strong ability to predict the financial turmoil in Hong Kong? I have a strong sixth sense! ”

Wang Shouyi replied dumbfoundedly: "I haven't heard of it." You didn't predict it before me then. ”

Cai Yuanwei was angry when she heard this, and couldn't help but smile and beat him a few times. Although Cai Yuanwei has studied abroad in recent years, she has a close relationship with Wang Shouyi. Although Cai Yuanwei didn't care about Tang Ren's company, Wang Shouyi didn't want to let her go, and the two often contacted and discussed for the company's business. Because of Cai Yuanwei's maturity and insight, Wang Shouyi has long regarded her as a partner at work, and the relationship between the two is also that of relatives and friends.

Wang Shouyi smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll tease you!" Anyway, this drama was invested and filmed by you in the name of Millennium Superstar, and I only helped you distribute it in the mainland, and you have the final say. ”

Cai Yuanwei smiled when she heard this, and the two chatted for a while, and Wang Shouyi asked again: "Xiaowei, don't you go back to live in that house in the city now?" ”

Cai Yuanwei thought for a while and said, "I won't go back there for the time being, and I will have to go back to London later." It will not be convenient to live in that house in the future, godfather, you can help me pay attention to it, and help me buy an independent villa in the suburbs or in a remote place in a nearby city or county, or buy land to build a set by myself. ”

"Okay, that's fine. It's just that you don't want to meet Gu Hanwen? ”

"I see him all the time! We've been in touch before, and the commercials he shot are still on the air! ”

When Wang Shou saw her like this, he was a little puzzled: "But ...... But haven't you always liked him before? I think he's interested in you, huh? ”

Cai Yuanwei talked about her feelings, her face was a little hot, and she hurriedly denied it a little uncomfortably: "No! Gu Hanwen and I are just good friends, not lovers. ”

Wang Shou saw that she denied it, and after thinking about it, he still didn't understand, shook his head and said, "Anyway, I don't understand what you young people think." As long as you're doing well and you're happy. After speaking, he also said goodbye and left, leaving Cai Yuanwei alone in the box, her face changed, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

……

After the casting interview was held on Monday, Gu Hanwen never thought about it again, and just went to class according to the class schedule every day, what to do or what to do. So when Hong Yuanhui rushed over ecstatically, hugged him and said that he and he were both selected, Gu Hanwen was still confused for a while, and he couldn't figure out what was going on that made Hong Yuanhui so excited.

Hong Yuanhui saw that he looked like he had lost his memory, and couldn't help but remind him anxiously, "It's Monday's casting, don't you remember?" In that youth idol drama, you interviewed the male number one, and I interviewed the male number two, and you also said that you left a bad impression on the director, so there is not much chance! ”

Gu Hanwen suddenly realized, "Oh~ It turned out to be that!" Then he reacted with hindsight and said with some surprise: "I was selected?" Did I really get selected? ”

"Not only did you win, but I also won it! There are big notices posted on the bulletin boards in the department! ”

Gu Hanwen couldn't help but happily hug Hong Yuanhui, and the two laughed and said hello to each other.

At this time, Hong Yuanhui pulled Gu Hanwen to the direction of the department's office, and said as he walked: "Go!" Let's ask the teachers in the department how we will arrange if we are selected. ”

"Good!"
