Chapter 3: Offended the Circle
In a small room on the side of the hall of the Actors' Guild, Fang Yuchen got up and stretched, he has been here for three days, today is the day of his interview, the day of the interview of the nineteen actors who are interested in his film. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
This small room was rented by him, and there are more than a dozen such small rooms here, all of which are set up to facilitate the producer's recruitment of actors.
Just now, he interviewed twelve actors in a row, but none of them met the requirements of several roles in his heart.
There was a knock on the door outside, and Fang Yuchen shouted to come in as he sat down.
A man in his early thirties with a flat head walked in, he nodded at Fang Yuchen, his eyes showed doubts, well, this one opposite, well, the big boy is really from the producer, is there a mistake.
"May I ask if you are Director Fang?"
"I'm me, please take a seat." Fang Yuchen, who was speechless, felt that his age had really become an obstacle.
The man hesitated for a moment but sat down and handed over his profile.
Fang Yuchen looked at the other party, tall and strong, with standard thick eyebrows and big eyes, at first glance, he was a positive image, if such a character asked him to play a negative role, in the words of an actor, it would also be an undercover existence.
Fang Yuchen simply looked at the other party's resume, he has performed in four TV series and one movie, of course, there is a male number three, and the other roles are all supporting roles, or the obscure kind.
But Fang Yuchen has no possibility of being picky, he clearly knows that he, a grass platform team that outsiders have never heard of, can't attract any golden phoenix, even if he comes, he likes his script, and he doesn't have the salary to hire, nor does he have the qualifications to suppress.
He just needs some experienced young actors to help him fill in the skeleton, as long as he can show the characteristics of the character according to his requirements.
"You saw my announcement, I have two supporting roles here, I don't know which one you are interested in."
Fang Yuchen asked.
"Can I read the script first?"
The other party is also very direct.
Fang Yuchen pushed the script in front of the other party, and the other party unceremoniously opened it and read it, he could see at a glance that this so-called crew was run by a rookie, although he was not famous, but he had been in this circle for many years.
But neither this studio nor Fang Yuchen had ever heard of the name, so his decision for himself was to look at the script, and if it was done, he would audition, and if it didn't work, he would leave.
This person's action of flipping the script was very fast, he finished the first half of the book, stopped and looked at Fang Yuchen again, thought about it, and turned directly to the last twenty pages.
After reading the last twenty pages, he suddenly found that this script is a very good script, which can be said to grasp the essence of the violence of police and gangster films, and the key thing is that it reveals some feelings that he has not yet understood.
Well, it's a good script, but whether a good script can make a good movie, that's really God knows, there are not a few good scripts that are filmed beyond recognition in the end, the shooting of the movie is really too complicated, can this young man do it.
"Introduce yourself, Wang Jiang," the thick-eyed man held out his hand.
"Fang Yuchen," Fang Yuchen was very satisfied with his performance after reading the script.
Wang Jiang was stunned for a moment, he looked down at the name on the cover page of the script,
"You're still a screenwriter."
The tone was astonishing.
Sending Wang Jiang away, Fang Yuchen is still waiting, most of the three main actors and several other small roles he recruited have been confirmed, but the role of male number two has not found a really suitable actor.
Fang Yuchen was a little anxious, all the roles are basically ready now, and the rest of the work will be carried out by the director of its own production two days later, but this important role has not been found, and it is really a bit of a hindrance.
There were no more applicants, Fang Yuchen walked out casually, and at this time he saw a man in his thirties in a coat coming out of a room around the corner, well, that is also a place for crew recruitment.
The man accidentally bumped into a sanitation worker in a building, he picked up the object that the other party had dropped and handed it to the other party, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." ”
The somewhat serious face suddenly became easy-going, especially the slender eyes that shone softly.
After saying goodbye to the other party, the man's face returned to a cold and hard expression and he walked to the door.
"Sir, please stay." Fang Yuchen caught up with the other party in a few big strides.
The man looked back in bewilderment.
"Sir, I'm a director, can I have a few words with Mr."
The man was a little stunned when he heard Fang Yuchen's words, then smiled and shook his head
"Don't be joking, don't you think you're too young, how can anyone believe it."
"The script is proof."
Fang Yuchen raised the script in his hand.
The man looked at the thick script, and then at Fang Yuchen,
"Oh, I'm sorry, I haven't really seen a director under the age of twenty-five or sixteen in my more than ten years of acting career, sorry."
"There are no absolutes, and there are some things that we can only accept, right?" Fang Yuchen laughed.
"But I still have to say I'm sorry, I've already made an appointment with that crew."
The man gestured to the room around the corner.
"Have you signed a contract?" Fang Yuchen asked.
"Well, that's not yet, I'll have to see their crew to finally book it."
The man hesitated.
"So why not give yourself a chance."
Fang Yuchen smiled and slapped the script.
The man looked at Fang Yuchen's smiling face, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.
The two returned to Fang Yuchen's rented office for two days.
When Fang Yuchen brought this person a drink, this person had already opened the script.
A minute later, he looked up at Fang Yuchen, "You're sure this beginning is not the beginning of a literary film." ”
"Cops don't mean it's just violence and sex." Fang Yuchen smiled slightly.
The man narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and then continued to read the script.
He finished reading the first third, and then watched the back third and closed the script, without reading the script, he had already determined that this was an alternative police movie, very alternative, but very brilliant,
"Did you write this script, I think the name on it is also Fang Yuchen."
"It's me, I'm the director and screenwriter of this film"
Fang Yuchen smiled and nodded.
"Meet Zhao Yuanming." The man held out his hand, and the two shook it gently.
"What I want to know is which character Director Fang wants to look for."
Zhao Yuanming asked.
"The second male lead can also be said to be one of the leading actors."
Fang Yuchen's words made Zhao Yuanming's eyes light up,
"I don't know if I'm honored to be a part of it."
Tang Ning knocked on the door and entered the office of her mentor Liu Zhan, and she found that director Zou Bo was also indoors.
As a senior brother who has graduated for ten years, this one has also made a big name, he focuses on the shooting of war films and police films, and now he is also a member of the Chinese Young Zhuang School of directors.
"Mentor is good, senior brother is good."
Tang Ning said obediently.
"Tang Ning, how is it, is there a suitable role recently?"
Zou Bo smiled, he and Liu Zhan were roommates back then, Liu Zhan stayed in school to teach, he went out, but he got along well and had a close connection.
"I came to ask my mentor for leave, and there was a crew who wanted me to play the female number one."
Tang Ning said a little arrogantly.
Although she knows that the role of the heroine in this film is not heavy, and she is definitely a vase, but after all, she is the female number one, isn't it.
"Hehe, Tang Ning is the hardest working among my students, and he is also talented, and I am happy as a tutor to finally have such a day."
Liu Zhan, who had a flat head and was a little fat, smiled at Zou Bo,
"Which film company's crew."
He turned to Tang Ning and asked.
"It's a film prepared by a studio called Qingzhou, and it's not large-scale."
"Alas, let's not pick it before we leave the school, as long as the film can land in theaters."
Zou Bo waved his hand boldly.
"Who is the director, graduated from our school or Donghai Film Academy."
Liu Zhan asked, most of the current directors are graduates of these two schools, each with their own circles, in his opinion, if it is a senior brother and younger brother, he can come forward to say hello, and this is how he uses his connections.
"Well, no, this person is very young, his name is Fang Yuchen, I asked him, he came back from studying in the United States."
Tang Ning said a little unconfidently.
"Hey, what's your name?" Zou Bo didn't react, but Liu Zhan asked suspiciously.
"It's called Fang Yuchen."
Tang Ning was a little frightened, and looked at the mentor with pitiful eyes.
"Isn't it Fang Yuchen of Tianya Company?"
Liu Zhan stared at Tang Ning.
"Oh, I don't know, but several of his crew members such as photography are all from Tianya Film and Television, I guess, it should be."
Tang Ning stumbled.
"Tsk, Tang Ning, did you sign a contract with the crew?" Liu Zhan said solemnly.
"Not yet, I haven't asked the teacher for leave yet, how dare you, it's just a verbal agreement."
Tang Ning's body trembled a little, and it was very pitiful.
It's her killer move, a nirvana she uses every time she has a premonition that something is wrong.
"That's good, this film can't be taken."
Liu Zhan shook his head.
"Why, it's not easy for Tang Ning to find a heroine,"
Zou Bo looked at Tang Ning with some pity and interjected.
"What do you know, do you know the shameful party at school a few days ago." Liu Zhan's face sank.
"I know, the school is faceless now, but the school is not authentic."
Zou Bo was grinning.
"The lyrics and composers of the twelve songs of that singer Ming Chuhan's album are all this Fang Yuchen, do you say this film can be accepted."
Liu Zhan glanced at him.
"Well, I really can't take it."
When Zou Bo heard this, he also had to shake his head, you must know that he also doesn't look down on some of the school's methods, but they are all former students of the school, and it is necessary to maintain the school, since the school's principals and some old alumni issued slogans to ban Ming Chuhan and Tianya Records, it is really impossible to cooperate.
"Is it really him?" Tang Ning has also heard the song of the early cold of the Ming Dynasty, there are two songs that she likes very much, but she really didn't pay attention to the name of the lyricist and composer called Fang Yuchen.
"Of course it's him, and there are a few Fang Yuchen who are on the edge of the world." Liu Zhan shook his head, he was too insensitive.
"Then, I'll listen to the teacher."
Tang Ning is really a little unwilling, after all, she is the heroine.
"Listen to your teacher, tell you, if you star in this film, I believe that in the future, I will get few opportunities from my senior brother and sister, because he offended the circle of the film academy."
Zou Bo saw her unwillingness and reminded her.
"I know, I'll listen to the teacher." Tang Ning bowed down to teach.
"Your senior brother Wang Chao is now preparing to shoot an urban film, and I recommend you to audition."
Liu Zhan gave a sweet date.
"Thank you, mentor."
Tang Ning is smile reappeared.
"Tang Ning, what kind of film is that Fang Yuchen going to shoot."
Zou Bo is really a little curious, this person is said to be a little famous, but he is not in the singing circle, how did he think of entering the film and television industry.
"He's shooting a cop movie,"
After listening to Tang Ning's words, Zou Bo was stunned for a moment, and then laughed,
"I'll go, this thing is also a police movie, hahaha, a big joke, haha." (To be continued.) )
