Chapter 183: Casting

The city that Chen Youzhou and Tao Fushu came to is called Weijiang, which is a coastal city, in addition to relying on fishing to develop the economy, but also because the city has good scenery, there are many crews filming in this city.

Later, someone directly built a film and television city here, which was specially used for the crew to shoot.

The construction of the film and television city has attracted many people from other places to play tricks here.

"The grocery store is too rigid." Chen Youzhou has no interest in this kind of simple shop, "I think you can choose two directions, one is to open a seafood restaurant, and the other is to open a group performance service center." ”

"What is the Ensemble Service Center?" Tao Fushu had never heard of it, this was the industry that Chen Youzhou saw when he went outside after coming to this city.

"It's similar to a film and television company, except that the object of our service is not a star artist, but an ordinary group performance one after another, helping them to take over the show, and we will take a certain fee from it." Chen Youzhou said.

There are a lot of group performances here, usually with a few local group plays, and you can sign up every day when there is a play, and you can earn more than 100 yuan every day.

How can the people who come here to run the show just to earn this little money? They also want to have a camera, and they also want to use their talent to be an actor, but there are too few opportunities, and the crew will not look for such a person at all.

What Chen Youzhou has to do is to get the resources of a small number of characters in the crew, and when he gets the resources, he will select the right people in the group performance to film with the crew, similar to a brokerage company.

Tao Fushu didn't understand this, but Chen Youzhou understood, he told all his thoughts, Tao Fushu was very smart, and soon understood what Chen Youzhou wanted to do.

"Let's be professional, you are responsible for going to the crew to get character resources and recruit suitable roles, and I will recruit a makeup artist to style the recruited actors, and then recruit a line teacher to give them some professional support." Tao Fu dredged.

"Okay, just do it."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Husband and wife are not tired of working together, and the industry to be done is determined, Chen Youzhou rented a storefront near the Actors' Guild, and after applying for a business license, the store was renovated for more than 20 days.

The door of the store is called "Passerby A Casting Center"

At the moment, what Chen You lacks is that there are scenes in the crew, and if there are important scenes, his business can be done.

Generally speaking, an assistant director is responsible for the scenes in the crew, but it is not so simple to know an assistant director.

It's early March and it's slightly cold.

The crews that have just settled in Weijiang Film and Television City include more than 20 crews such as "Chang'an under Heaven", "The Biography of Ba Qing", "Father Han Gaozu", "Rebellion", etc., and the drama source is still very sufficient.

People die for money, birds die for food, the only thing Chen Youzhou does not lack is money, if you want to know someone, as long as you are willing to spend money, there is nothing you can't know.

Chen Youzhou hooked up with a circle called Deputy Director Huang and got the roles of five monks.

Deputy Director Huang also takes good care of Chen Youzhou, and the price given is not low, a total of five people, for three days, 500 yuan per person per day, and Chen Youzhou, who got these five scenes, has a total of 500 yuan.

But this is only the total price, and a large part of it has to be given to acting.

Since it was the first time he got the notice, Chen Youzhou wanted to hype it up, and he didn't want to make any money, he just wanted to play the name of "Passerby A Casting Center".

The next day, Chen Youzhou arrived at the door of Weijiang's group performance guild at four o'clock in the morning.

At this time of the day, many group performers will wait here for the call of the group leader, and then follow the group leader to the crew to act, and they can get a day's salary and mix two meals.

"Five hundred and one days, three days in a row, someone is coming."

"Five hundred and one days, three days in a row, someone is coming."

At the door of the already noisy actors' guild, the sound of a horn suddenly sounded, and Chen Youzhou sat on a chair and waited for the group performers to come over and ask for the price.

"Five hundred and one days, three days in a row, what kind of fairy crew is this, it won't be a lie, right?"

"One thousand and five at a time, you can lie in the rental house for half a month immediately, and there is such a good thing, I don't believe it anyway."

"Others should be recruiting special contracts or something, what does it have to do with us group performers who have not received professional training."

"It's always okay to go and see."

Although the people at the scene didn't believe the price, they all smelled it and walked over with curiosity.

Wei Jiang's group performance is actually a very miserable group of people, the announcement fee for eight hours a day is only 80, and the rest are all stacked up by lying on the corpse, getting up in the rain, getting up early, applying blood and other miscellaneous expenses.

A notice like Chen Youzhou that can issue a price of 1,005 at a time, to be honest, is rare to see in a hundred years, because such a high notice will definitely be eaten by the people above, and when it is in the hands of the group performers, only half of it will be left.

"Uncle, five hundred a day, three days in a row, is it true?"

"What is it called, uncle, have you ever seen such a young uncle?" Chen Youzhou is very disgusted that others call him uncle, although he is indeed old, but who will admit that he is old, "Call brother." ”

"Brother, is it true, if it's true, I'll sign up."

"I'll sign up too."

"I'll sign up too."

The people around flocked to the area, and all the people who saw the movement here also ran over, all wanting to give it a try and get the 1,500 yuan.

"Listen up." Chen Youzhou stood on the bench, picked up the horn and said, "This time I want five monks, the crew is "Shaolin Temple's Dharma Patriarch", three days in a row, if you are interested, please come to the passer-by casting center." ”

Chen Youzhou shouted a few more times, and then took out the leaflets with hot butts and distributed them to the people around him.

It is said that the flyer is actually an invitation letter, and the invitation letter is written by Tao Fushu, inviting everyone with a dream to come to the passer-by A casting center to audition, as long as they are hired, they will permanently become a member of the passer-by A casting center, and they will have the resources to contact them as soon as possible.

What Chen Youzhou needs most now are two things, one is the source of the drama, and the second is the actor, as long as he has these two things in his hands, he can slowly make the passer-by casting center bigger and stronger.

Five hundred invitations were printed and distributed, and all of them were distributed on the spot, and the effect was particularly good.

By the time Chen Youzhou finished his propaganda work, it was already seven o'clock in the morning when he went back.

"Is it finished?" Tao Fushu asked.

"After sending it, I'll hand it over to Mr. Tao, but I believe that your speech ability will definitely attract a group of people to become our members." Chen Youzhou said.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Weijiang's group performers are a big collective, and basically everyone knows about it with a little bit of turmoil.

Because group performance is a very loose profession, if you want to run the play, you can take the play, and if you don't want to run the play, you don't take the play and stay in the rental house to rest, which is very free.

In the group performance apartment, there were many people who did not take the show and rested in the rental house, but as soon as they heard that the passer-by casting center was recruiting monks, and the notice fee was not low, they immediately became interested.

One pass ten, ten pass hundreds, pass on and pass, the more it spreads, the more outrageous it becomes.

"I heard that the passer-by casting center is recruiting monks, as long as you are bald, I am suitable for this."

"The monk I want is still the person next to the protagonist, there are a lot of shots, and if I don't do it, it will become popular, it's too suitable."

"What, this monk is still a flower monk, I heard that I want to sleep with my sister paper in my arms, me, I'll come, don't rob it."

In the hearts of the group performers, there is a scene that countless people coax, and that is the prostitution.

As long as there is a scene of prostitution, it is basically coaxed by countless people, and it doesn't matter if the money is money or not, just to be able to have an intimate contact with the female special.

Originally, it was only five monks, but it became a flower monk as it was passed on, and after some rendering, more and more people wanted to interview the monk.

The interview time for the flyers distributed by Chen Youzhou was around 7 o'clock in the evening, because at this time, most of the group performers had already finished their work and could come for interviews.

Install the latest version. 】

It's not yet seven o'clock in the evening.

Chen Youzhou was stunned, a large area outside the door was full of people preparing for the interview, originally he thought that five hundred people was too much, but he didn't expect that the people who came for the interview were all along the street, there were thousands of people.

When I first rented the faΓ§ade, I rented a utility room on the second floor, counting the hall and the second floor, it could accommodate no more than 100 people.

There were a total of five people in Chen Youzhou's store, and he also had Tao Fushu, makeup artist Xiao Wen, cameraman Xiao Li and assistant Xiao Zhang, all of whom were also shocked in the face of such a battle.

"I guess I'm going to have to work overtime tonight." Chen Youzhou smiled bitterly, but still started the interview.

The interviewer is Tao Fushu, and the first round of interviews is also very simple, just look at the height and appearance of the group performers, and register the contact information.

"Please line up and interview one by one, after the interview, we will conduct a screening, and those who pass the screening will get this notice." Chen Youzhou took out his loudspeaker and shouted.

Tao Fushu's registration personnel information was very fast, and the information of hundreds of people had been registered in a short time, but the time had come to ten o'clock in the evening.

That's just a few hundred.

There are people who rushed over in the back.

It's going to be an all-nighter.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Chen Youzhou saw that the time was almost up, and seeing that there were still so many people behind, he could only arrange the work until tomorrow.

He walked out of the store, picked up the bullhorn and continued to shout, "Brothers, it's too late today, let's continue tomorrow, we all have a chance to get this announcement." ”

After waiting in line for a long time, I didn't choose it after waiting in line, and many people felt bored and left with a scolding.

Wait for the scene to recover.

The staff in the store also went back to the news.

Chen Youzhou and Tao Fushu sat tiredly on the bench in the store.

"Tired or not?" Chen Youzhou asked her.

"Tired." Tao Fushu smiled, she stood up and moved her body, and asked rhetorically, "You said that we are all this age, and we are not good at staying at home to care for the elderly, why do you have to come out and toss?" ”

"Regret it?" Chen Youzhou walked over and hugged Tao Fushu tightly in his arms.

"I don't regret it, I just feel meaningless."

"Teacher Tao, we are all at this age, if we stay at home, every day is nothing more than basking in the sun, raising flowers and vegetables together, living a leisurely life, and finally watching you grow old with me."

Tao Fushu raised his head and asked, "Is this not good?" ”

"Okay." Chen Youzhou replied firmly, "But I hope that in our last days, we can cherish the time more and work hard, so that my story and that of you can infect countless people." ”

"Infected ......" Tao Fushu repeated Chen Youzhou's words, she said, "Countless people? ”

"Yes, struggle and love are originally synonymous with young people, but I think that telling many people about the struggle and love between me and you at this age can succeed at any time, as long as you have someone around you who supports you." Chen Youzhou's eyes were full of fighting spirit, "This is the last time I spent with you, left to others, our last story." ”

Tao Fushu was silent for a moment, and she suddenly understood why Chen Youzhou wanted to bring her here to start over.

He wanted to engrave the names of Chen Youzhou and Tao Fushu forever in this world.

There is only one way, and that is inspirational stories.

"According to what you say, if we want others to feel our spirit, the current store will be expanded countless times, and there must be people we have cultivated." Tao Fu Shu drew inferences.

"More than that." Chen Youzhou shook his head, "You and I have to work together to shoot movies and TV series, and with the work, we can be famous for generations." ”

"With our two old bones, can you?" Tao Fushu smiled, although his idea was very good, but the difficulty was too great.

"If you don't try, how do you know?" Chen Youzhou pressed against Tao Fushu's forehead and looked at her face, "Teacher Tao, you are so beautiful." ”

"It's full of wrinkles, how can it be beautiful." Tao Fushu frowned soothingly, and looked at You Zhoudao, "It's you, the more you live, the more energetic you are, especially your eyes, you are more combative than some young men." ”

"There are no wrinkles." Chen Youzhou's eyes were full of reluctance, "Teacher Tao, we are still young, we still have to live for many years, and you are still so beautiful in my heart." ”

Tao Fushu's eyes were red, tears were in her eyes, at this age, she and Chen Youzhou actually encouraged each other like a couple who had just started a business, it was amazing.

Chen Youzhou had already weighed whether to stay with his children and enjoy his old age in peace, or choose a strange place with Tao Fushu to start over.

He chose the latter, because people age faster in the same environment, but it is different in another unfamiliar environment.

Chen Youzhou is very greedy, hoping that in this way, in the midst of his busyness, he and Tao Fushu will leave some memories that only belong to each other.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

After a busy day during the day, as soon as they went to bed, Chen Youzhou and Tao Fushu fell asleep.

By the next day, casting began again.

The same was true on the third day.

It took four days in a row to select everyone, and more than 3,000 people came to interview in this round.

It is even more arduous to choose five people of similar height and appearance among more than 3,000 people to play monks.

Chen Youzhou regards this casting very seriously, and the notice that he finally got must take care of the crew, and this candidate naturally can't be bad.

After much deliberation, five people were selected.

In order to make these five people more like monks, Chen Youzhou invited these five people to the casting center and let professional acting teachers teach some basic expression lessons.

Next, it's time to see the good news brought by these five people to the crew.
