Sitting in the private room of the hotel, while the audition actor had not yet arrived, Fang Bo took out the notebook he carried with him from his coat pocket.

The notebook rolled into a cylinder was unfolded, and the cover was opened, and the performance and rental prices of various photographic equipment were densely written inside.

This is the information that Fang Bo spent two days gathering.

To this end, he contacted several equipment rental companies in Hengdian in the past two days, and tirelessly asked for detailed information about various equipment. In order to be able to shop around, and strive to spend less money without affecting the quality of shooting.

However, as the saying goes, "you get what you pay for", this sentence is indeed very reasonable, not everyone has that luck if you want to pick up the leak, and the price of good quality photographic equipment is often not cheap.

No matter how much you shop around, there are so many equipment to rent, and the rent and deposit are all added together, which is by no means a small amount for the other party.

"Whew."

After calculating it, Fang Bo couldn't help but shake his head, closed his notebook, and leaned back on the back of his chair tiredly.

The money spent on renting equipment alone accounts for a small half of the film's budget, and the rest of the money is not easy to think about because it has to build a crew, maintain shooting, and take into account post-production.

But now I can't back down, since I have chosen the road of independent film, I have to bury my head in it no matter what.

"Knock knock."

There was a knock at the door, and the actor who was supposed to be auditioning had arrived.

"Come in."

Fang Bo took a few deep breaths, collected his emotions, and prepared to start today's audition.

The door of the private room was pushed open, and the middle-aged man outside the door first looked inside, and after seeing Fang Bo's figure, the man was obviously stunned for a moment, and turned around to talk to the person.

"He's Fang Dao?"

"Then there can be something wrong."

The door was wide open, and although the man lowered his voice, Fang Bo, who had always heard well, could still hear it vaguely, and he couldn't help but feel helpless in his heart.

It's no wonder that others will doubt that whoever makes himself young, if he is replaced by anyone else, it is estimated that he will not easily believe that a young man in his early twenties can become a director.

The man didn't stay outside the door for long, and walked in after confirming Fang Bo's identity with Boss Zhang.

"Director Fang, hello, my name is Wu Dashi."

Fang Bo nodded, looked him up and down, and said casually, "Well, you can sit down first." ”

Wu Dashi casually took the door and sat opposite Fangbo.

In fact, from the moment he entered the door, this audition had already begun, and the first time he saw him, Fang Bo was observing his appearance.

First of all, he is slightly shorter, although he wears a pair of platform shoes under his feet, but judging from the height difference between him and the door frame, at most it has just reached 1.7 meters.

He clearly wrote on the information of the actors' union that his net height was 1.75 meters, so he should have lied about his height when filling in the information.

What's more, his appearance doesn't match the image of the character. A pair of eyes are already relatively small, and if you smile, you probably can't see the eyes.

After looking at it a few times, Fang Bo couldn't help but sigh secretly.

What's going on?,The profile photo doesn't look like this.,Why is there still a fake?

"Ahem, you seem to be a little different from the photo on the profile."

"Photos?" Wu Dashi was stunned at first, and then patted his forehead as if he suddenly realized, "Oh, Director Fang, that's it." I've been registering that information for several years, and the photos are from a few years ago, so maybe it's changed a little now. ”

You have changed more than a little, not to mention that your height is ten centimeters shorter, and your thick eyebrows and big eyes have become a slit.

Of course, Fang Bo won't believe his flawed quibbles, but everyone is here, although the male lead is definitely not to think about it, but it's better to try it out, if the acting skills are passable, it's okay to play other roles.

"This is the script for the audition, you take a look at it first, and you can start acting when you are ready."

"Okay."

Wu Dashi looked like a senior special contract who had mixed with many crews, and he was not stage frightened at all, and he put it down after taking the script and reading it for less than two minutes.

This confident appearance made Fang Bo look forward to it, regardless of the difference between the information and the reality, what if he really had some ability?

"It's a prop for the show." Fang Bo handed over a box of cigarettes and a lighter on the table.

"Director Fang, then I'll start performing."

Wu Dashi stood up, tidied up his clothes, and began his performance.

He took a cigarette from the cigarette case and put it in his mouth, picked up the lighter, and lit it.

"Eh, no smoking in the supermarket."

"Draw it out."

Fang Bo couldn't be more familiar with the script, he didn't even read the line book, and casually said the lines to play for him.

Hearing this, Wu Dashi's expression was stunned, then his eyes widened, and he said loudly: "Don't let smoke?" Why is smoking not allowed? Why don't you sell me cigarettes? ”

He slammed the cigarette on the ground and continued to say loudly: "You owe my money for more than a month, don't think that if you keep dragging it out like this, you can get rid of it." I'm telling you, I'm not just going to smoke today, I'm going to get my money back......"

"Sss

Seeing his performance, Fang Bo raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but gasp.

This show, too, too.

Too pompous, right?

Fang Bo knows very well that the people he wants to audition for today are all special actors, and due to salary restrictions, the people who can audition should not be among the top performers even among the special actors.

If it is really a big special contract, there are not a few people who are paid tens of thousands of dollars for a shot, and they will not come to their own small crew.

So he has repeatedly lowered his psychological expectations, and kept telling himself in his heart: This is a small-budget movie after all, and you must not be too demanding of the actors.

What Fang Bo never expected was that the person who came to audition could actually play a scene like this!

Let's talk about Wu Dashi's emotional changes first, from calm to impatient, and then from impatient to angry and even angry, the emotional transition and change cannot be said to be blunt, it is even harder than steel bars.

After hearing the words that smoking is not allowed, Wu Dashi's expression was only slightly stunned, and then his eyes widened and he began to shout, what kind of performance is this?

Big brother, let's make a movie, you have to show a gradual change in mood to some extent.

Seeing such a performance, Fang Bo no longer had any hope for Wu Dashi's acting skills.

"Director Fang, I'm done performing."

Wu Dashi didn't realize his problem at all, and there was still a hint of smugness on his face, as if the performance just now was exquisite.

"Okay, then let's get here first, I'll let you know when there's a result."

Fang Bo didn't want to waste any more time, there were so many actors waiting in the back, so this audition would end here.

"Eh, Fang Dao, is this the end? Don't try two more times? ”

Wu Dashi was unwilling, and wanted to fight for more.

Seeing Fang Bo shaking his head, he also understood that the audition was in vain, so he reluctantly pursed his lips and turned around and left the room.

"Huh."

Fang Bo wanted to call him out, but the person had already left, so he had to go.

Here, you can go, but put down the lighter for me.

Fortunately, there is still a backup, otherwise the later auditioners will have to perform without physical objects.
