CHAPTER XXXV
The military-themed TV series jointly filmed by the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ministry of Culture and Propaganda is tentatively titled "Pioneer Troops". As a TV series with the main theme of presenting gifts to the National Day and promoting conscription in the coming year, the investor and producer of "Elite Troops" is the national station, and the director and crew are also the most prestigious directors and various professionals in China. In this case, of course, the strength of the crew is beyond doubt.
And due to the special nature of this TV series, none of the actors who received the audition invitation for "Spearhead Troops" found an excuse to refuse the audition. Even if the filming process of this drama will be very hard, the actors' salaries are very low.
However, most actors want to participate in national Taiwanese TV series, and they are not going for salary. It's all for the reputation of the national station and taking this opportunity to make contacts.
After all, everyone knows that the national station regards itself as the tongue and face of the country, so it is extremely strict in the criteria for selecting artists. In addition to the professionalism of the artist, the moral character of the artist is also very important. In addition, the national station has always been useful, and there is a tradition of liking to use acquaintances.
Therefore, as long as an actor who is valued by the national station, as long as he is fortunate enough to participate in a work invested and produced by the national station, even if he can't soar to the sky, he will definitely be able to gain a firm foothold in the circle. After surviving a few years, there is even a great possibility that he will become the mainstay of the entertainment industry. Its status and influence are definitely not comparable to those new popular kings and Xiaohuadan.
Therefore, after learning that the national station wanted to invest in the filming of "Pioneer Troops", many artists immediately tried their best to fight for it. Even if he knew that the actor of "Spearhead Troops" already belonged to Chen Mo, there were many artists who believed that their conditions were no worse than Chen Mo's and handed their resumes to the crew through various channels.
Among them, there are not only handsome young students who have won various acting awards in the past two years, but also several old students with good qualifications. Even Xiao Chun, who was once in the crew of "The Legend of Dongwu of the Three Kingdoms", was angry because he didn't get the role of Sun Ce and instructed the reporter to make things difficult for Chen Mo at the start-up press conference, and finally took over the filming of "The Battle of Guandu" and "The Legend of Dongwu of the Three Kingdoms", Xiao Chun, couldn't help but hand over his resume temptingly, and tried to influence the crew's final choice through Guò's parents' connections.
However, considering Chen Mo's popularity and the identity of the image spokesperson of Huajing Shi Yàn High School, as well as Chen Mo's influence after being admitted to the Faculty of Arts of Huajing University, the national station finally preferred Chen Mo to play the leading role.
Not only that, considering the prestige and status of the School of Liberal Arts of Huajing University in China and even the world, in order to express their respect for the School of Liberal Arts, the crew of "Pioneer Troops" even sent an audition invitation to Chen Mo to audition individually. The audition time marked on the invitation letter is also specially arranged on the Sunday when the school is closed.
It can be said that it has given Chen Mo enough face.
And Chen Mo was also well prepared for this audition.
Due to the special care given by the crew considering the influence of the College of Liberal Arts, Chen Mo rarely got the script of "Elite Soldiers" before the audition. In the play, Ye Feng, the actor played by Chen Moyao, was admitted to the Computer Department of Huajing University with excellent grades.
It is not the same as most people's traditional impression of the nerdy good student with the image of a thin hemp rod at the bottom of a wine bottle. Ye Feng, who was admitted to the Department of Computer Science of Huajing University with excellent grades, in addition to his high IQ and good study, is also a lover of live CS games. The Sharp Knife team he formed is even internationally famous.
After being admitted to university, there is a one-month military training. Ye Feng's excellent combat literacy and super high computer skills during military training also attracted the attention of the instructors. Especially in the group competition in the final stage of military training, the team of college students led by Ye Feng actually annihilated the instructor team in one fell swoop by invading and interfering with the enemy's computer.
Ye Feng's excellent performance made the instructor breathtaking. After reporting this matter to the superiors, the superiors also intended to attract outstanding talents like Ye Feng to the army to serve the country. So the battalion commander in charge of military training personally found Ye Feng and asked Ye Feng if he was interested in joining the army. If you wish, the military department can come forward to negotiate with the school to keep Ye Feng's student status, and wait until four years later to ensure that Ye Feng will graduate as an outstanding graduate.
However, Ye Feng, who has always been interested in real CS confrontation, disagreed with the battalion commander's suggestion. Because Ye Feng, who has a high IQ and a conceited personality, does not like to be controlled by others the most. As we all know, there is strict discipline in the army, and Ye Feng thinks that the atmosphere of the army is not suitable for him. Therefore, the invitation of the battalion commander was politely declined.
But an accident made Ye Feng change his mind......
Chen Mo looked at the script in his hand, in order to better understand the role of Ye Feng, Chen Mo entered the system space for training after reading the script as usual. At the same time, I also searched the military forums of this world on the Internet, and obtained a lot of information about the military department through the relationship of many classmates, and even searched for a lot of similar topics in the system space as a reference. felt that he was almost done, so he rushed to the audition accompanied by his agent Yang Qindong.
The audition for "Top Soldiers" took place at the National Television Building.
The audition is held on Sunday mornings at 10 a.m. sharp.
At 9:40 in the morning, Chen Mo and Yang Qindong had already arrived at the door of the National Taiwan Building.
The National Observatory Building is a concave three-building building. The front building has 66 floors, and the two sides of the building have 94 floors. Because Huaxia has always had the saying of the Ninety-Five Supreme, so in order not to offend the imperial power, in addition to the use of the royal family, or with the special approval of the imperial court, the private buildings are not allowed to exceed 95 floors.
The audition was held on the 22nd floor of the main building of the National Television Building.
Because there is only one auditioner Chen Mo, there are not many people outside the audition.
In order to express their attention to Chen Mo, the crew also arranged for a staff member to stand at the elevator door, and when Chen Mo arrived on the twenty-second floor, he directly led people to the audition room.
After seeing Chen Mo's audition costume, a clear trace of surprise and admiration flashed in the eyes of the staff of the national station who was responsible for receiving Chen Mo and Yang Qindong, and he politely praised Chen Mo for being more handsome than in the camera, and then immediately said: "I really didn't expect Chen Mo that you could do this kind of Cheng for this drama." With this intention, I believe that this role must be yours. ”
After speaking, he smiled again: "In fact, I have always been a fan of yours." Could you please sign me? ”
Chen Mo looked at the staff member with a little surprise. The entertainment industry has always been a deep circle, and when the national station sent Chen Mo an invitation to audition for the leading actor, even if the matter was not disclosed to the media, everyone in the circle who should know it knew about it.
Chen Mo's friends in the circle called one after another to say hello to Chen Mo. At the same time, they are also reminding Chen Mo to try to restrain his temper when facing the staff of the national station.
"Those people are different from us. They all eat the emperor's grain, and they are very arrogant. looks down on us actors, and can't wait to look at people with nostrils. Don't get into trouble with them when you audition in the past, or you'll get in trouble. ”
Even Huaxia Entertainment and Yang Qindong, who have always been more indulgent to Chen Mo, are constantly telling Chen Mo. The reason why Yang Qindong had to follow Chen Mo to audition this time was because he was afraid that if something unpleasant happened, Chen Mo's unwilling to suffer would turn his face on the spot. Then there will be no room for manoeuvre.
However, I never expected it.
Seeing the humble and polite staff member of the National Television in front of him, Chen Mo really couldn't associate such a person with the rumored staff who watched people with their nostrils.
Taking over the autograph book and pen that the staff had prepared, Chen Molong wrote down his name in a flying dance. After thinking about it, I asked the name of the staff again, and then wrote a poem expressing blessings in the notebook.
The staff member took the autograph book with a smile, looked at the words on it, and praised: "It is worthy of being a top student who was admitted to the School of Liberal Arts of Huajing University. ”
Chen Mo was stunned in an instant. While relieving doubts in my heart, I also have a deeper understanding of the prestige of the School of Liberal Arts of Huajing University in the hearts of the Chinese people.
The staff member carefully put away the signature pen and asked Chen Mo for a group photo.
Chen Mo smiled happily, and after taking a photo with the staff, before entering the audition room, the staff member was still smiling and cheering for Chen Mo, and praised him: "I believe that with your ability and intentions, you will definitely win this role." ”
Chen Mo smiled and thanked the staff for his words and pushed open the door of the audition room.
There were fifteen interview examiners in the room. There are men and women, most of whom are between the ages of thirty and fifty. Two were dressed in military uniforms, and two others had a distinctly bureaucratic air on them. Chen Mo speculated that these four people were probably representatives of the Military Department and the Ministry of Culture and Propaganda. The rest should be the people of the national station and the crew.
And the fifteen interview examiners also had their eyes lit up after seeing Chen Mo's outfit.
As an actor who got the script in advance and experienced Ye Feng's life in the system space, Chen Mo specially asked Yang Qindong to secretly prepare a set of costumes for him in the name of the company before the audition.
It is the uniform of the CS team organized by Ye Feng in the script.
Although due to various restrictions, the script did not describe the style of the team's uniforms in detail, but for Chen Mo, who has the golden finger of the system, it is not a problem.
The system's powerful self-improvement function will allow Chen Mo to see the details that best fit the storyline.
So Chen Mo embodied this suit according to the description of the system. The cool and combat-worthy uniforms immediately attracted everyone's attention. In particular, the team logo of the Sharp Knife Team is precisely a sharp knife stuck in the symbol of technology. The team logo in the classic color of black and silver gives people a strong visual impact, and the absolutely rational scientific and technological symbols are perfectly integrated with the sharp knife pattern representing force, and there is a tension of violent aesthetics.
While "seeing" first, it also accurately sets off the actor Ye Feng's arrogant and confident personality and cool to death.
The art teacher in charge of the props and costumes of "Spearhead Troops" praised it: "This dress is so beautiful. It's even more beautiful than what we designed! ”
When everyone heard this, they nodded again and again. The eyes that looked at Chen Mo became more and more friendly and kind.
There is no doubt that the investors, producers and even the director team of "Sharp Knife Force" have a great impression of Chen Mo and Chen Mo's agency because of this move. The balance that was originally inclined to Chen Mo became more and more tilted.
Chief director Hua Aijiang glanced at Chen Mo, smiled and said, "You have also read the script." Looking at your outfit today, it can be seen that you have also carefully figured out this role. I don't want to ask you what you think of the character. In this way, you can directly perform the scene where Ye Feng went on a mission for the first time after joining the special combat team, almost killed the captain because of negligence, and apologized to the captain in the hospital. ”
Hua Aijiang said, picked up the script from the table, flipped to the corresponding plot, and said, "I'll help you set up the play." ”
