Yanjing Renyi, audition rehearsal room.

After all the auditions were over, Zhou Cheng called Gu Xintong over and prepared to have a small meeting.

"Today, Meng Xiaoling's audition for Sun Jia is the most suitable for the role, and the other auditions we have reserved are also unsatisfactory." As a director, Chen Li took the initiative to take the responsibility, and took a few lists of audition reserved personnel and said: "This is mainly my responsibility, my fame is too small, and there is no way to attract the attention of more powerful actors." ”

Chen Li believes that if it is Zhang Yimou's project, the people who come to audition can go from Renyi to Tiananmen.

"It's because we're so inexperienced, and we're not prepared enough." Zhou Cheng shook his head, opened the box of Da Chongjiu that Chu Ran had just taken out, and handed it to Chen Li: "Brother Li, if we audition again next time, we will definitely not be in a hurry like today." ”

Chu Ran also lit up and said: "We are all hosting auditions for the first time, and when we communicated with the teachers of the two schools, we did not make our needs clearer, so that the people they recommended did not meet the requirements of the role. ”

"Could it be that you are too demanding, I think Song Leitao who came in the afternoon is not quite suitable for the role of Zhou Tienan?" Gu Xintong saw the smoke rising, sat on the other side of the table, and took out a copy of the resumes of the eliminated personnel and asked.

"Song Leitao's mind is not on acting, his development goal should be a singer, he participated in several talent shows when he was in school, and he also released a single this year." Chu Ran was relatively familiar with these current students, and explained to Gu Xintong.

"I see, I still want to sign him."

Zhou Cheng shook his head at Gu Xintong: "We will meet in a meeting about the artist contract, now let's analyze these people who audition." ”

"Hehe, you guys continue to ,......" Gu Xintong stuck out his tongue, revealing a hint of playfulness.

Chen Li continued to take out several lists in his hand for analysis: "Wang Kai is an unexpected gain, this role originally wanted to be selected from the actors of Renyi, but now with Wang Kai, you can save some trouble." It's just that his brokerage contract is in Huayi Brothers, and he still needs to communicate in terms of salary. ”

Zhou Cheng wrote down this incident in his notebook: "Tomorrow I will inform Wang Kai's agent that the salary for this role cannot exceed 100,000, otherwise you can only choose other people." ”

Chu Ran took another list: "Ma Chi should be easy to discuss, he is still a student, and the salary can be done with only twenty or thirty thousand yuan." ”

Chen Li nodded and looked at Zhou Cheng: "Ma Chi is a very talented student, I was negligent, I didn't expect Zhou Cheng to be able to see his strengths at a glance." You should be a good actor if you hone it. ”

There are people in this circle who are born stars. But more are still unknown actors, who may not be able to play the leading role in their lifetime, but they are indispensable and important roles in film and television dramas.

Zhou Cheng reminded Chen Li: "After he joins the group, let him learn from a few old actors." The role of the coppersmith is very important, and his performance has a great impact on this play. ”

……

After analyzing a few reserved personnel, several people found that they still hadn't found a suitable actor for "Zhou Tienan", this role was very heavy, and it was one of the main roles, and Chen Li didn't want to make do with it.

Looking at the end of the discussion, Chen Li made a summary: "Okay, let's go here today, we are looking for the role of Zhou Tienan, young artists are easy to find, and those students who have graduated can also consider it, if we find something good, we will send him an audition invitation." ”

"Brother Li, let's eat together, Chu Ran has a treat tonight." Zhou Cheng pushed Chu Ran out again.

"How can you say that you are also the CEO of the company, you can't exploit us migrant workers...... Okay, I'm having a treat tonight, I'll answer the phone first......" Chu Ran was about to retort, when the mobile phone rang, he looked at the call on it, made a gesture to a few people, and came to the door to answer the phone.

"No, go home for dinner tonight." Chen Li shook his hand and refused: "Today, the first episode of your sister-in-law's variety show will be broadcast, and I want to go home and watch it with her." ”

"Congratulations to my sister-in-law on our behalf." Zhou Cheng didn't force it, and sent Chen Li away with Gu Xintong, and Chu Ran, who was calling outside the door, also made a gesture to him to see him tomorrow.

Back in the room, Zhou Cheng asked Gu Xintong, "Who are you more optimistic about these people who auditioned today?" Which people's brokerage contracts are you going to take? ”

Gu Xintong took out three resumes and handed them to Zhou Cheng: "There are three main favorites, Ma Chi, Song Leitao and Meng Xiaoling." It's just that Chu Ran said just now that Song Leitao's mind is not on acting, so I'm going to think about it again. ”

"You can get Meng Xiaoling's contract, we don't have too many resources at the moment, at most two or three artists." Zhou Cheng singled out Meng Xiaoling's contract.

"I contacted Meng Xiaoling, this girl, I feel pretty good, quite assertive, I'm afraid that our company will not be attractive to her."

"It's okay, a small company has the benefits of a small company, and I'll help you find a way in terms of resources. Come with me to the TV station next Monday, and I'll hand Lin Shan over to you to take with you. ”

"Lin Shan? Is that the singer in your hands? ”

Zhou Cheng nodded: "In this episode of the show, I plan to push him to the champion of the monthly competition, so that you can receive some announcements and performances before the annual finals, and you can also make some money along with it." ”

"Thank you, Brother Cheng......" Gu Xintong looked surprised, she had already heard Zhou Cheng introduce Lin Shan, as long as the monthly competition passed, Lin Shan's announcement could be normal, 20,000 yuan for a performance was not much of a problem, even if the company retained a part of it as a management fee, as an agent Gu Xintong could also get a brokerage commission of several thousand yuan.

"Don't take these small amounts of money in your eyes, think about the fact that when an artist announces tens of millions of dollars in the future, it will no longer be difficult for you to buy a car and a house."

Before Gu Xintong's mood calmed down, Chu Ran had already finished answering the phone, looked at Zhou Cheng with a mysterious expression and said, "Brother Cheng, guess whose call I just received......

"Zhou Kaiwen's call, is it to help Jia Yue ask for resources?" couldn't see Chu Ran, Zhou Cheng directly debunked it, and when he just sent Chen Li out, he heard Chu Ran's call.

"Brother, you make me feel very unfulfilled like this." Chu Ran made a contemptuous gesture at Zhou Cheng: "It was Zhou Kaiwen who called me just now, and he was going to ask us to have a drink at night." ”

"I guess I'm going to ask you out alone." Zhou Cheng shook his head.

"yes, so I refused." Chu Ran smiled proudly at Zhou Cheng: "Master Chu, am I such an easy person to be bought." ”

"A gentleman is not given a gift of peach and plum. Chu Ye did the right thing. Zhou Cheng gave Chu Ran a thumbs up.

"That is, the gentleman is frank, and the villain is a relative." Chu Ran had just said a word, and his phone rang again.

Chu Ran showed a wry smile on his face when he saw the call, and showed it to Zhou Cheng, and it showed Teacher Huang Lei.

"Teacher Huang, hello......" Chu Ran answered the phone, and Huang Lei called from the other side, and he didn't say anything, just invited them to dinner.

"Teacher Huang? It won't be for Wang Renjun and Song Leitao, right? Zhou Cheng looked at Chu Ran and said with some concern.

"I just said that gentlemen are not given by peach and plum." Gu Xintong, who was on the side, heard Zhou Cheng's words, and sneered disdainfully: "Mighty can't be bent, it's not expensive, it's not lewd......"

"Am I giving in?" Zhou Cheng glanced at Gu Xintong and continued: "Teacher Huang's face can't be withheld, but they are really not suitable, we have to find a way to deal with it." ”

Chu Ran also considered this possibility, and proposed: "Otherwise, the two of us will sing white face and red face, and strive to deal with this matter?" ”

Zhou Cheng nodded: "It's only like this, if it really doesn't work, I'll pretend to be drunk, and then you push everything on me, anyway, they all know that my amount of alcohol is not good." ”

Chu Ran showed a wicked smile: "Otherwise, we will get Teacher Huang drunk so that he won't have a chance to speak." ”

"Brother Tong is also following, I guess I want you to be the driver again tonight." Zhou Cheng looked at the side slowly packing up his things, and greeted Gu Xintong, who glanced at this side from time to time.

Hearing Zhou Cheng's words, Gu Xintong immediately stood up and sped up the speed of packing up his things, but said reluctantly: "Pull me to drive at every turn, I'm about to become your driver now." ”

"I'll give you an extra salary next time." Zhou Cheng teased, but did not expose her mismatch.

Taihe Media, Film and Television Production Department.

Zhou Kaiwen, who was the project manager of the production department, turned blue and white after the phone was hung up by Chu Ran.

Although Chu Ran's family's assets are much higher than Zhou Kaiwen's, the foundation of Zhou Kaiwen's family is in Yanjing.

Where is Ningxi? In Qinghai, a poor province located in the west, many people do not even know where Ningxi is in terms of political status and geographical location as good as that of southern Tibet.

"Serena, you go and help me investigate which company is making the play "Donkey Gets Water"." Zhou Kaiwen called one of his subordinates and instructed. Since you Chu Ran didn't give me Zhou Kaiwen face, then don't blame me for kicking you out, you must know that this is Yanjing, not something that you can do as a countryman in Ningxi.

It didn't take long for his subordinates to send a piece of information, after all, the drama "Donkey Gets Water" has the intervention of Yanjing Renyi, and several film and television companies have also learned about it.

"Star City Culture? Legal representative Zhou Cheng? Registered capital of 100,000? Zhou Kaiwen took this information and browsed it: "It turns out that I won the award at this year's Youth Film Festival, no wonder I am so crazy." ”

"Yes, I heard that the author of this script is Zhou Cheng, a graduate of Nortel's Department of Literature in the class of 06, after winning the award at the Youth Film Festival, this script was acquired by Yanjing Renyi for the copyright of the drama, and the film copyright is still in their hands."

"What kind of capital can this small company founded by Zhou Cheng a year after graduation. He and Chu Ran should be classmates, no wonder they will work together, probably because they want Chu Ran to invest in movies. Zhou Kaiwen felt that he had discovered the truth: "Serena, what are our recent activities, send an invitation letter to this Zhou Cheng, I will talk to him in person, and buy the film copyright of this play." ”
