Chapter 205: Auditions, Mountains and Seas
"Directors, I'm ready." After Lin Yingxue removed her makeup, she put her hands behind her back and stood up straight to start the audition.
Fang Xing and He Rongchang glanced at each other and made eye contact.
He Rong stretched his cheeks and said, "Come on."
Fang Xing picked up an A4 piece of paper, handed it over and said, "This is the script for your audition, you are now Guo Furong, the daughter of a generation of heroes, you were detained in a restaurant to work as a coolie because you owed money.
"You don't dare to run away, because you are the daughter of a generation of heroes, and if it is known that you owe money and do not pay it back, you will lose your father's face.
"So you can only swallow your anger and work in the restaurant.
"Everyone in the restaurant is very excessive, they all bully you, make you do laundry and cook, and don't give you food.
"Finally, one day, you couldn't bear it anymore, and you used your family heirloom to "overwhelm the mountains" and slapped at the hateful Mr. Bookkeeper."
Lin Yingxue prepared for a while, then rolled up her sleeves, first performed and worked, and looked tired and hungry.
Immediately afterward, she began to lose her temper, threw away the non-existent broom in her hand, and shouted with a face full of grievances, "You guys are too bullying, I won't do it!"
Fang Xing sat in his position and did not move, and said a sentence in time: "If you don't do it, you have to do it, the one hundred taels you owe will take at least twenty years to pay off."
Lin Yingxue suddenly showed anger on her face: "It's too much, I'm going to demolish your black shop and destroy the mountains!"
After the fight, she skinned it and added some sound effects: Peng! Nothing but ......
Fang Xing turned his head and glanced at He Rongchang, and his expression showed that he felt okay for this performance.
However, there are actresses who audition later, so there is no rush to decide.
He Rongchang sat up a little straighter and said, "It's not bad, you go back and wait for the notice." The results of the audition will be sent to you within three days."
"Thank you, Director." Lin Yingxue bowed and thanked her, then turned around and went out, exhaling heavily.
The auditioners next to him surrounded him and asked, "How's it going?" How's the audition?"
Lin Yingxue took two breaths before saying, "I don't know yet, let me go back and wait for the notice." However, the young director inside doesn't like heavy makeup."
"Don't like heavy makeup? It's over, it's over." Several actresses with heavy makeup hurriedly asked someone to borrow wet wipes and wipe the powder on their faces.
……
The investment announced by "Wulin Gaiden" belongs to the B level, so it is only a low-cost sitcom.
The actors who come to audition basically come to audition because they can't get A-level or above resources.
Therefore, the average level of the auditioning actors, is not too high.
After the audition, Fang Xing and He Rongchang, as well as several assistant directors, began to discuss the actors who could be used.
The casting director pulled out the resumes of the actors who passed the audition: "I think these are the three that are good, and there are four others, which I think are passing, but there are no highlights, and they can also be considered."
He Rongchang spread out these eight resumes, and several people discussed them together.
"This Lin Yingxue's image is okay, and the audition feels okay." He Rongchang commented.
"It's just that the performance is not open enough, and the performance of the sitcom still needs to be exaggerated." The casting director also gave his opinion.
"This can be adjusted when directing, judging from her expression just now, there is a basis for performance." He Rongchang nodded.
In fact, Fang Xing did not deliberately control the investment in "Wulin Gaiden", even if he invested more, as long as there were good actors.
It's just that the actress who plays "Guo Furong" first requires that she is young and not too big, and secondly, she has requirements for appearance.
And the older generation of sitcomians are not young.
Therefore, the casting of "Guo Furong" is more difficult than other roles.
Even the current popular Xiaohua has no experience in acting in sitcoms, and the experience of acting in idol dramas is useless in sitcoms.
Therefore, the role of "Guo Furong", whether to choose a popular flower or an eighteenth-tier actor, is poor in terms of acting skills
Don't be too big.
After several discussions, four resumes were finally selected for selection.
"There will be two auditions tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and we will decide after all the auditions are over. These four will work, see if there is a better one." He Rongchang is not in a hurry to make a decision.
After two more days of auditions, Lin Yingxue was finally decided to play the role of "Guo Furong".
Lin Yingxue is just an actor who has just graduated not long ago, and has played some small roles in several online dramas.
Therefore, the price is relatively cheap, and in the end, the whole drama is only 160,000 yuan, which is equivalent to 2,000 yuan per episode.
And the contract requires that the whole process be followed by the group, and it is not allowed to roll the play.
Lin Yingxue agreed to all the requests, although it is only a B-level investment drama, but it is a rare opportunity for her to play the second female lead.
……
After getting the role of "Guo Furong", Lin Yingxue was very happy and sent a red envelope in the class group of the university.
Lin Yingxue: Students, I'm going to play the second female lead.
Student A: Which drama? Is the investment big?
Lin Yingxue: The investment in "Wulin Gaiden" is almost 50 million.
Student A: Wow! Isn't that the top production in the B rank?
In fact.
In the film and television industry, there are many actors who can't even shoot B-level investment dramas, let alone group performances.
Moreover, in the era of online dramas, there are still many dramas that cost one or two million.
This kind of drama is basically too bad to watch.
However, even in this kind of drama, there are still many eighteenth-tier actors competing.
Therefore.
Lin Yingxue can play the second female lead in a B-level production with an investment of 50 million, which is already very amazing.
The class group soon became active.
Student B: Huh! Isn't this "Wulin Gaiden" the one that was rumored to be Song Yutong not acting before? It seems to be the second female lead.
Student B: @宋雨彤
Unfortunately, Lin Yingxue and Song Yutong are both classmates in the same acting department of Jiangcheng Film Academy, so they are in the same class group.
The classmates in the class heard that Lin Yingxue took over the play that Song Yutong didn't want, and they all became lively.
After discussing for more than ten minutes, Song Yutong finally appeared.
Song Yutong: Who @ me? How did you talk about me?
Classmate ABCDE: A big star has appeared.
Because Song Yutong has released two popular online dramas, he is already the most successful one among all the students in the class, and the salary is already tens of millions.
Therefore, her treatment in the class group is similar to that of Fang Xing.
As soon as she appeared, the whole class would call her "big star".
The competition between actresses is fierce, and it is common for sleeping directors to grab roles.
Therefore, Lin Yingxue was worried that her classmates would misunderstand, so she hurriedly sent a message.
Lin Yingxue: Yutong, I don't have so many appointments like you. I finally took on a play, don't you mind?
Song Yutong: You can rest assured that you can take it. My agent talked about five or six dramas at the same time, and I stopped taking a B-level small production like "Wulin Gaiden" a long time ago. In the future, if there are such resources, I will introduce them to my classmates.
Classmate ABCDE: Really? Then thank you to the big stars for introducing the work.
Song Yutong: Yingxue. Classmates, I have to remind you that the boss of "Wulin Gaiden" is actually engaged in music, and he is not sure what purpose he is filming. You have to be careful, the water in the entertainment industry is very deep.
Lin Yingxue: Thank you for the reminder.
Although the two are classmates, they are still very polite on the surface, but in fact, the relationship is not so good.
Because the two of them are the two girls with the best appearance conditions in the performance department of Jiangcheng Film Academy.
During my time at school, there was always competition.
Whether it's a school performance or a job outside, there's always competition.
In fact, when Song Yutong was a junior, he starred in the first small fire web drama "Wife and Cute Kitchen", and at the beginning, he also looked for Lin Yingxue.
Even Lin Yingxue went to audition, but two days later, "Wife and Cute Kitchen" officially announced Song Yutong.
Song Yutong also became popular with "Wife and Cute Kitchen", and in just two years, the salary has exceeded 10 million.
On the contrary, Lin Yingxue can only play some small roles in online dramas, and a scene costs a few hundred yuan.
Although it is better than a group performance, compared with Song Yutong, it is a heaven and an underground.
Although there is no evidence, there are rumors among classmates that Song Yutong had close contact with the producer when he took over "Wife and Cute Kitchen".
Because of this incident, Lin Yingxue was actually unconvinced.
However, the entertainment industry is like this, relying on ability to get to the top, no matter what kind of ability it is, if you can get on the top, you will be a big star, and someone will tout it.
……
In the crew of "Blood Rain Rivers and Lakes".
Song Yutong had just finished filming a scene, and when he was resting, he saw the news in the class group.
She replied a few words, threw away her phone, and sneered: "It's really interesting, Lin Yingxue actually took "Wulin Gaiden", I don't want it, she is very happy to pick it up."
The agent casually chimed in, "Pick it up if someone else picks it up." Anyway, it's a sitcom with no future, and there is a high probability that the film will be mixed with a C-grade rating, and it is estimated that even half of the investment will not be recovered."
Song Yutong turned his head and brought up another topic: "By the way, I saw Chen Wenhan and the director and screenwriter talking about things just now, what are you talking about?"
The agent smiled mysteriously and replied, "Change the script."
"Change the script?"
Song Yutong's eyes widened suddenly.
Although she has been making appointments recently, she is actually not in a high position, and she can only rank in the forefront of third-tier actresses.
Therefore, in this kind of S-level production, she doesn't dare to think about changing the script.
"Yes, Chen Wenhan felt that his role was too little, and asked for more scenes. Moreover, I listened to his agent, and I was ready to change in the direction of the kind of male second man who would explode." The agent had a playful smile on his face.
In recent years, in the big heroine dramas, there is often a situation where the second male is more popular than the male.
As long as the character of the second male is enough to attract fans, it is possible that the popularity will exceed that of the male one.
An interested smile appeared on Song Yutong's face, and he asked, "Can the director and screenwriter agree?"
"The screenwriter has no right to speak, and I don't know if the director will agree. However, I heard that the producer is related to Chen Wenhan, and in this crew, it is not an exaggeration to say that Chen Wenhan is the prince." Said the broker.
"No opinion on the male one's side?" Song Yutong asked curiously.
"What if you have an opinion? The producer is in charge of the system, and the director can't oppose it, let alone the actors." The agent's tone was full of watching a play.
