Chapter 223: Throwing bricks and leading the way
Ren Shuai chatted with Xiao Jin for a while, knowing that although Xiao Jin was an assistant to the crew, he also graduated from the acting major.
However, her school is a small college with a small name, and it can only be said that she has barely touched the threshold of acting.
Not long after she graduated, the first job she found was as an assistant in the crew, and while exercising her interpersonal skills, she also hoped to expand her network and get some acting opportunities.
Many people who work in the crew have similar ideas to Xiao Jin, and they may be able to get a chance to get ahead if they get close to the water.
No matter how bad it is, you can also play a stand-in or something, maybe you will be able to get out of the circle one day.
After all, a little transparent like her, who has no company and no background, can only look for opportunities on her own and work hard.
Fortunately, although the income as an assistant is not high, it is also a stable job, which can barely support her to chase her acting dream.
After the two chatted for a while, someone came to the lounge to inform Ren Shuai, saying that the director invited him to audition.
Xiao Jin hurriedly got up and led Ren Shuai to a large performance rehearsal hall.
On the way, Xiao Jin exchanged a few words with the staff who came to inform them, turned his head and reported to Ren Shuai: "Mr. Li, I inquired just now, I heard that in addition to the director and producer, there is also an investor. ”
Ren Shuai nodded, I didn't expect Xiao Jin's ability to inquire about the news was quite strong.
On the one hand, Xiao Jin is thinking about fulfilling his duties as a small assistant to the crew, and asking more news, maybe he can help Ren Shuai get the role smoothly.
On the other hand, she chatted with Ren Shuai for a while just now, and felt that this showbiz senior was very talkative, and his affinity was very strong, and he could still talk to her, so he wanted to help him more in his selfish heart.
After Xiao Jin finished speaking, he lowered his voice and continued: "I also heard that this executive manager likes to pay attention to details, and there are three teachers in the group in front of him, all of whom were rejected by her because of a little problem. ”
Ren Shuai thought to himself, it seems that he is a nitpicker.
He nodded and smiled and whispered back, "Thanks for the reminder." ”
Soon several people came to the door of the rehearsal hall, Ren Shuai knocked on the door and walked into the room, only to find that he was not the only one in the room.
Opposite the executive managers of the director, producer and investor, there is a row of benches on which three middle-aged men sit, all with the temperament of an actor.
Ren Shuai didn't expect that the audition of the group didn't come one by one, could it be that these people were all competing for the same role with him?
Before he could wonder, the producer had already smiled and introduced: "Mr. Li, you are welcome to meet the group, these three are the teachers of the repertory troupe, in order to facilitate the organization, we will invite a group of four to audition, don't you mind?" ”
"No, it won't."
Of course Ren Shuai doesn't mind, the last thing an actor is afraid of is a lot of people, and the performance is just to show people, and there is no privacy.
This also proves in disguise that the casting of the crew is not boring.
In fact, the original arrangement of the crew was to invite the actors to try out the play one by one, after all, the actors who came to meet the group this time are all well-known in their respective fields, even if it is to show the sincerity of the crew, they will not call a group of people together.
It looks like an audition.
Because there are many actors, although their wrists are not big, but they have a big score, and they all feel disrespectful to themselves when they audition with other people.
However, it just so happened that the representative of the investor suddenly came to participate in the process of meeting the group today, and behind the crew is a continental-level project, and the project team has regulations that the selection of roles must be open.
No matter who comes to meet the group, you have to follow the rules step by step.
So the director and the producer discussed it, and temporarily changed it to a group of four to audition, which can not only meet the principle of openness, but also not appear to be too many people, which makes the actors feel uncomfortable.
This time, the investor is very clear, they want to make a drama, choose actors, coffee position is secondary, and acting skills must be excellent.
Even if it is a supporting role, it must have distinctive characteristics, and each one must have its own personality to make a hundred flowers bloom.
That's why project executive managers are so detail-oriented.
After seeing that Ren Shuai said that there was no problem, the producer pointed to the side and said: "This is the representative of the investor, Mr. Jia Shuhui, this is Mr. Niu Chuanping, the chief director of our crew, and I am the producer Gong Yuanshan, welcome all teachers to meet the group." ”
After some simple greetings and greetings, the formal meeting process begins.
Ren Shuai took advantage of the time just now to take a slight look at the three actors from the theater, and found that none of them were squinting, as if no one had seen him.
Ren Shuai was a little speechless, thinking to himself that there really exists a chain of contempt in the entertainment industry?
Drama actors look down on film and television actors, film and television actors look down on idol actors, idol actors look down on Internet celebrity actors, Internet celebrity actors look down on extras, and extras look down on cross-border actors?
Why bother to beat workers.
Ren Shuai thought for a while, thinking that he really seemed to be at the bottom of the food chain.
It's no wonder that the person who stands at the top of the house ignores his existence at all.
However, Ren Shuai felt that they were a little rude.
So, he felt that he had to be polite and set a good example for them.
It should be very polite to invite the top people to experience the feeling of bungee jumping for free, Ren Shuai thought to himself.
At this point, the producer was already calling his name.
"Mr. Li, you and Mr. Lu have the same script, can you see if you will act first or later...... Teacher Li? ”
The producer found that Ren Shuai seemed to be distracted?
Seeing this, Lu Yu smiled secretly in his heart, thinking that after Ren Shuai Bacheng saw that his opponent was an actor in the repertory troupe, he had stage fright.
Ren Shuai finally heard someone calling him, came back to his senses, and opened his mouth to answer, but heard Lu Yu next to him speak: "It's better for me to come first, throw bricks and lead the jade." ”
After speaking, he glanced at Ren Shuai meaningfully.
Jia Shuhui, who was sitting behind the table, frowned slightly, her first impression of Ren Shuai was very good, after all, no woman doesn't like handsome men, but Ren Shuai's distracted performance suddenly made her lose a lot of impression points.
Who will be distracted when meeting the group, this is a complete manifestation of not paying attention.
She likes to pick out details, and of course Ren Shuai's performance is unreasonable for her.
On the contrary, Lu Yu next to him looks like a gentleman, and he also has a little sense of being tall, which is very in line with the positioning of the role of the teacher in the script.
If it weren't for fairness, Jia Shuhui would even want to play Lu Yu directly.
Ren Shuai saw Lu Yu's slightly contemptuous eyes, and said with no concern on his face: "I have heard for a long time, Mr. Lu has good acting skills, this is to act in a drama, if you enter the film and television industry, I am afraid that you will already win the actor crown, it is not appropriate for you to throw bricks and lead jade, or I will come first." ”
Ren Shuai came up with a brainless meal, he just wanted to see it, and after he finished acting, Lu Yu didn't want to play again.
Lu Yu didn't expect Ren Shuai to be quite upright, knowing that his skills were not as good as others, so he went down the steps first.
No wonder he is not famous, but he can endorse Fendenko. A big name like Nicky must be a person who can not only read words and feelings, but also can influence the source.
It's a pity that it's useless to be an actor and do all these sideways, acting is the last word.
Lu Yu nodded very unexpectedly and said, "Since Teacher Li said so, then you can perform first." ”
