Chapter 140: It's hard to find a role

The next day, Lin Yi went to the company to report.

Facing Lin Yi, who took half a month's leave in one go, how could the supervisor have a good face. It's just that Lin Yi is Liu Quan's person, and he is a famous college student, with a strong pen, and with the previous incident of Liu Xiaoyang, what he did was a little inauthentic. So the director could only pinch his nose and endure this breath.

Moreover, I heard that Lin Yi had already bought a house and a car in the imperial capital only two years after graduating from university, and the supervisor who didn't even have enough down payment for the house had no confidence to find Lin Yi's ballast.

Xiao Yuze is still the same as half a month ago, there is no change, seeing Lin Yi, it is like seeing a relative, pulling Lin Yi to ask him to accompany him to interview for the role.

It turned out that Xiao Yuze was going to audition under the company's arrangement, but his introverted and timid mistake was committed again. happened to see Lin Yi go to work, as if he had seen a savior, and asked Lin Yi to accompany him.

Although Xiao Yuze is sad and introverted, and he usually doesn't like to talk, he is straightforward and cute, and he has been getting along for a long time, and he is also familiar with Lin Yi.

Seeing Xiao Yuze like this, Lin Yi softened for a while, so he followed together.

When the two entered the elevator, Lin Yi teased him: "Didn't you audition alone before?" I've never seen you so nervous. โ€

Xiao Yuze smiled bitterly: "Do you know who the director of this recruitment of actors is?" โ€

"Who?"

"It's Wang Yueying." Xiao Yuze looked constipated, "This director is a well-known temper tantrum in the circle, and he is still a nitpicking." But in any film directed by him, there is no actor who does not shed his skin. โ€

Lin Yi said: "Then don't be nervous, it's just an audition." "Xiao Yuze is not famous at all, and he just participates in some inconsequential roles. It's not certain whether people choose him or not.

"The problem is that when you don't perform well enough during the audition, you will be scolded by him." Can Xiao Yuze not be nervous? He is a person who does not stand up to criticism very much, and the last time he auditioned, he was scolded by this director once, and it took him several days to recover.

Lin Yi habitually put four fingers in his trouser pocket and comforted: "It's okay, you should think like this, people scold you to improve your acting skills, you have to accept it humbly." โ€

The elevator opened, and Lin Yi motioned with his chin for him to go first.

Xiao Yuze was about to take a step, but as soon as he saw the person outside the elevator, he subconsciously retracted his steps.

Lin Yi raised his eyes and saw that it was a middle-aged man with a long beard, and he was accompanied by a staff member of the same company, so he greeted the other party, although he didn't know this middle-aged man, but he still slightly challowed: "Dude, how long has this beard been grown?" Looks pretty sexy. โ€

The colleague's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly glanced at Lin Yishi.

Lin Yi chuckled in his heart, shouldn't this beard be the taboo of this middle-aged big brother?

But the bearded man didn't get angry, but looked Lin Yi up and down and asked, "What's the young man's name?" Are you an artist in Beijing? โ€

Lin Yi's colleague hurriedly replied: "Director Yan, Lin Yi is our employee in Beijing, not an artist." โ€

"With such good conditions, it's a pity not to be an artist. Interested in being an artist? The bearded man was still going to speak, but Lin Yi had already pulled Xiao Yuze and walked away.

Director Yan stared at Lin Yi for a long time, until Lin Yi's body disappeared from sight, and then asked the person next to him, "What is the name of this young man?" โ€

"It's Lin Yi. Employees of the Ministry of Propaganda. The staff said with a smile, "Director Yan, the elevator is here, please." In fact, the elevator had already been closed once, but he pressed it again.

"Legend of the Phoenix" is produced by the famous screenwriter Hailu, who really deserves the speed of "turtle", and it took four and a half years to complete. It is said that this is still a phone call between the investor and the director for three days, and a personal threat of fist threat in five days before the production can be produced in advance, otherwise you will have to wait. "Legend of Phoenix" is said to have invested 300 million yuan in the early stage, and important investment companies include Snow Film and Television, Kunlun Pictures, and Shangjing Entertainment.

How can such a small company as Shangjing Entertainment become an investor in the show?

It is said that screenwriter Hailu and Shangjing Entertainment's boss are always small, and the relationship is very iron. At the suggestion of Hailu, Shangjing Entertainment invested 10 million yuan in a daze, and became one of the investors of the show.

And the play is directed by the famous Wang Yueying. This Wang Yueying is a well-known director genius in the film and television industry, although his works are not guaranteed to return, investors can make a lot of money. So far, at least, there has been no loss of money for investors. On the premise of not losing money, it can also ensure the quality and reputation of the film, which is rare. You must know that director Li Xiaolin, who is known as the national director, has also encountered a slippery iron furnace and lost all his money to investors.

"Legend of the Phoenix" not only has high-quality screenwriters, but also high-quality directors, and the rest is the audition of high-quality actors.

The director team conducted a month-long audition, and under the contest and compromise of all parties, the heroine and the supporting role of male and female supporting actress were decided. Xiao Yuze was lucky, probably because someone had said hello, and after the audition, his shy and introverted personality set a role that was neither light nor heavy, playing a hedgehog spirit with serious social fear in the play. According to Xiao Yuze's temperament, it is still full of fit.

When Xiao Yuze auditioned, Lin Yi did not enter the studio, but only waited outside reading the newspaper. Although Xiao Yuze was initially approved by the director, he still had to audition with other actors, and he couldn't come out for a while.

After reading the newspaper, Lin Yi had nothing to do, got up and came to the window, looking at the osmanthus tree with flowers hanging outside the window. Time flies so fast, and in a blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming.

Someone came in from outside, Lin Yi turned his head to look, ignored it, and continued to look out the window. I'm still thinking about how to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The man glanced around, and came to Lin Yi again, "Hey, is this the audition point for the crew of "Legend of the Phoenix"?" โ€

Lin Yi turned his head, glanced at the other party, and said, "Yes, are you here to audition?" The director is inside. โ€

A strange color flashed across the man's face, "Oh, okay, thank you." The man walked a few steps, turned around again, looked at Lin Yi twice, and asked, "You're so faced, I've never seen you, which company's artist is it?" โ€

Lin Yi was already familiar with such a question, so he said lightly: "I'm not an artist." โ€

The man let out an "oh", turned around again, and went inside.

Wang Yueying was looking at the short shot of the actors in front of the notebook just now, and found that someone came in, it was Feng Jie, the chief producer of the crew, so he beckoned: "Why are you here now?" โ€

"Who told you to change your audition here, so I searched everywhere." Feng Jie sat down and asked, "How is it, has the actor been finalized?" โ€

Wang Yueying shook his head: "The total investment party has recommended candidates, but I am really not very optimistic." I auditioned just now, and there was still a considerable difference between it and the Xiao Phoenix I imagined, so I didn't agree. โ€

Feng Ying said: "Indeed, this actor is not easy to find." The main reason is that the show became popular before filming, and it has a fairly large fan base, and the actors selected are too far from the original form, and if one is not done well, it is easy to suffer from the collapse of word of mouth. "It's a good thing that the film has a certain popularity base, at least you don't have to bother with publicity, but the higher the audience's expectations, the easier it is to find faults. If the shooting is not good, the saliva of the audience alone can drown themselves.

Wang Yueying asked him: "Do you have a suitable male host?" โ€

Feng Ying shook her head: "I compared all the actors with good appearances, and each of them can find out a lot of shortcomings, it's really hard to choose." โ€

Wang Yueying said: "Me too, Zhong Yunchao, Wang Xinol, Xiao Zhan, and Duan Chunan are all popular male artists, and they are also recognized as beautiful men in ancient costumes. But when I auditioned, I always found that something was missing. โ€

Feng Ying thought for a moment: "Phoenix's arrogance and domineering? โ€

"Yes. It is this kind of temperament, that kind of demeanor that is dusty, and the noble temperament that will be revealed in every gesture. But it can't be overly reserved, but the kind of quiet dignity, the aura must be sufficient, a look, a movement, can make people dare not presumptuous aura. It's a pity that I didn't find these male artists. Duan Chun'an is slightly in line with my aesthetics, but it is far from enough. โ€ลดลดลด.BIQUGE.biz

Feng Ying rubbed the corners of her eyebrows: "It's been a month, the actor hasn't been decided yet, and the forces of all parties will not stop." "He doesn't know how many calls he has received to recommend artists recently, all of them are heavyweight capitalists, or important figures in the circle, and even the heads of the competent departments have come to intervene, alas, none of these people can afford to offend.

Wang Yueying has a deep understanding that the energy behind the artist should not be underestimated. Although he is a well-known director and has a high say in the selection of artists, these important roles have many parties to collude and compromise. It's not that he says he can make the decision.

Feng Ying is the chief producer, and her rights in the crew are still quite large, but she also has to consider the opinions of investors and big names in the circle.

After two rounds of auditions, Xiao Yuze finally passed the role of the hedgehog spirit, and he was quite satisfied. After all, this drama has not been filmed before it is filmed, it has a high fan base, and it has almost covered the famous artists in the entire circle, and it is not easy to get such a role among hundreds of artists. Many people who rely on relationships to try out the play have been brushed off a lot.

"Lin Yi, thank you for accompanying me, let's go, I'll invite you to dinner." Xiao Yuze was happy and decided to invite Lin Yi to dinner.

Lin Yi smiled: "Do you have enough money?" "As an eighteenth-tier artist, how much money can you earn? Even if it is earned, the company will have to get a big head. As far as he knows, Xiao Yuze's economy is not well-off.

Xiao Yuze said: "I can't eat enough for one meal." โ€

"Haha, okay, then I'm welcome, let's go." Lin Yi put his hands in his trouser pockets again and left side by side with Xiao Yuze.

It was a renovated courtyard house, and out of the house came a wide courtyard, and as the two of them walked towards the gate, suddenly there was a cry of children and dogs barking in the oblique voice.
