[Bai Wei: Director Lu, Huang Yunli, and Cai Siqi have already replied to the message, and they will be there in the afternoon. 】

[Lu Zhengyi: Okay, by the way, let's find out if there is a suitable actor, and if you audition, screen out five people. 】

[Zhang Yu: Leave this to me, right? In the circle, I still know some people with good abilities and suitable conditions, anyway, you plan to find new people to join the group, I want to contact them. 】

[Lu Zhengyi: Whoever you know and who plans to push it internally can call over and try it, but my rules are also clear to everyone, and you have to be able to match the character to stay. 】

[Yu Li: It just so happens that I have a senior sister, Director Lu, and I sent you a private chat about her information. 】

[Lu Zhengyi: Send it directly to Deputy Director Zhang. @张煜老张, if you think it's appropriate, send them an email inviting them to audition. 】

[Zhang Yuming: So...... Does Director Lu not want me again this time? 】

……

As the preparations for the new drama unfolded, the inner group of the Plum Fox crew gradually became lively.

Noon

In the lounge of the Plum Fox Cat Studio,

Lu Zhengyi held a dumbbell in one hand and replied to the message in the other.

And Zhang Yu, who was speaking in the group, was sitting not far from him.

Although the people of the plum civet cat are because of the relationship between the dramas and the 'secrets', the cohesion is even greater than that of ordinary companies.

If the average company is a Taiping army that has only conducted drills, then they are a team that has already been on the battlefield and can trust each other's backs.

But even so, based on the habits of the workplace, Lu Zhengyi's requirement for them is that once it is a work-related communication, it is best to communicate through group chats, keep chat records, and avoid shirking responsibility after making mistakes, which affects internal unity.

Not to mention how strong the cohesion of a team is, there is no need for this system to be constrained, and it can be more loose and free.

On the contrary, the more cohesive the team, the more it is necessary to be restrained by the system.

Cohesion can only resist external troubles.

But once there is internal trouble, it is not easy to solve, such as now.

"This Xiao Ming is still like a child."

In the distance, Zhang Yu said with a smile.

"yes, I'm probably only in my teens, kid." Lu Zhengyi nodded, and replied in the group while holding dumbbells, "Boy, the film in my hand hasn't been filmed yet, and my heart is flying everywhere, I'll send a message to Director Fang now." ”

"Don't, if you let Director Fang know, it's embarrassing."

Zhang Yuming hurriedly replied to the message, "I'll go, I'll go." ”

Saying that, he had no news in the group.

After that, Chang Zhengwei and Yu Wenxiu also bubbled in the group and recommended the names of several actor friends.

Compared with Zhang Yuming, both of them are more experienced people, and they can guess that Lu Zhengyi is now looking for actors who are not famous, but have good acting skills and are hardworking enough, so they tacitly did not mention that they wanted to join a new play.

In general, the atmosphere in the group was quite active, and everyone came out to bubble and show their faces.

But Lu Zhengyi was keenly aware of the difference in the atmosphere in the group.

Bai Wei just said at the beginning that he had invited Huang Yunli and Cai Siqi, who were invited to join the 'internship group' during the filming of the First Commandment.

Then, after Zhang Yu took over the job of the audition actor, he did not speak again.

Is this starting to happen? ’

Lu Zhengyi glanced at Zhang Yu casually.

As a team slowly expands, it is natural that there will be problems of job competition.

It's just that in his prediction, this problem may not appear until at least the plum civet crew expands to more than 100 people.

But now it seems that because of Zhang Yu, this issue has been brought forward.

After Lao Zhang fell ill, most of the filming work of the crew was taken care of by Bai Wei, who was supposed to be the scene reporter.

As a handyman, he took on a large part of what he was supposed to do as an assistant director.

Such as inviting auditioners, recruiting extras, participating in salary pricing...... He is involved in all these tasks.

But now that Zhang Yu is back, his position is a little awkward.

Continuing back to the previous work, as a field reporter? It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to return to the position after reaching a certain height, and even if they are forced to go back, it is probably a situation of collapse.

'So, am I going to meddle in the affairs of the two of them?' ’

Lu Zhengyi thought in his heart.

As a director, he certainly has the qualifications and ability to stop the continuation of this situation, but no matter what choice he makes, it is bound to cause harm to another person, so ......

"Speaking of which."

And just when Lu Zhengyi was about to talk about this matter in the group, in the distance, Zhang Yu suddenly picked up his mobile phone and walked over, "When I left before, the work that should have been done by me was all Ah Wei's kid in charge, right?" ”

His old face was very calm.

"A small part."

Lu Zhengyi put down the dumbbell with a subtle face and replied, "Most of it is still done by me, he is probably in a state of working and learning at the same time, after all, he is ordered to be in danger, and he has not learned how to complete these tasks before." ”

His gaze at Zhang Yu was a little complicated.

"Is that so?"

Zhang Yu groaned, "Then let me teach him, the work of the assistant director is much worse than the scene note." ”

The words spoke, and the lounge was quiet for a while.

"Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang, you are really planning to retire."

Lu Zhengyi looked at him helplessly.

It's the best option.

The moment Zhang Yu walked over and spoke just now, he knew that the other party would make such a decision.

"After all, I still want to live a few more years, and the pressure of working in your crew is so high, I must find someone to help." Zhang Yu's wrinkled face showed a smile, "But retirement will definitely not, when he has the ability to take my position, at least leave me an idle position in the crew, right?" ”

"I've been filming for most of my life, and I'm recuperating at home during this time, and I'm not used to it."

"It's okay for me to be a plumber in the crew, although I can't participate in the shooting, but at least let me get my hands dirty and enjoy the glory of success together, right?"

Lu Zhengyi replied without hesitation, "Of course, as long as you want." ”

"But I don't have to be Xiaowei." Zhang Yu continued, "If he didn't have that talent and couldn't learn things, I would have asked someone else for advice. ”

"Don't worry, Ah Wei won't let you down."

……

At the end of October,

The box office data of the curse has also risen from a straight line to a steady rise.

Because it has been in theaters for almost a month, even fans who are busy with work and life can find time to go to the theater to watch it.

And as the support period of fans passes, it is the new audience that is now supporting the rise of the data.

Among them, there will probably be people who are attracted to horror themes because they already like them, and there may be people who are attracted because of their popularity.

Some of them may be like those fans of the previous Meici Cat crew, and continue to silently support the next film.

But there may also be people who choose not to watch horror movies again, and give up a category directly because of a movie.

There are not many people who walk into the theater every day, but when they leave the theater, there are people who take a different path and make different choices all the time.

"You, hello, is this the Plum Fox Studio?"

As the elevator slowly rose until it finally stopped on the fourteenth floor, a soft-looking girl nervously came to the front desk and asked in a low voice.

"Yes, may I ask who you are?"

There were two girls at the front desk, and one of them smiled back.

"I'm Cai Siqi, I'm here to audition."

Cai Siqi said cautiously and handed over a resume with the works she had participated in.

But when the resume was taken to the front desk to read, she couldn't help but blush a little.

said that it was resume information, but in fact, the content was so simple that Cai Siqi couldn't take it, and in the few works, what was written was either 'maid' or 'corpse', or it was directly 'passerby'. ’

And the first commandment, which is impressively in it, reads, 'The girl who is topped.' ’

There is a kind of 'Anyone who watches it, they all say, 'Is this an actor?' I'm on it, I can do it'.

"Hello, Mr. Cai."

But the girl at the front desk took her resume very seriously, and after glancing at the name on it, she replied politely, "The director has already started, you wait outside with the other audition actors first, and when it is the turn of the audition, someone else will notify you." ”

As she spoke, she walked to the side to lead the way.

The first time she was called 'Teacher Cai', Cai Siqi nervously followed behind and walked inside.

After passing through a corridor, the vision in front of me is broadened, and there is an office area with workstations, but this office area, no one is working at this moment.

"That's the work area for agents and assistants."

The girl at the front desk explained in a whisper, "Many of them follow the actors and rarely stay in the company." ”

With that, she led the people into the lounge.

There were a lot of auditioners in the lounge, there were seven or eight of them, and I don't know if there were any other candidates in the future.

Cai Siqi nervously greeted them, then took a glass of water from the front desk and found a corner to sit down.

She didn't know any of the actors present.

As rumored, Director Lu prefers to find some newcomer actors who are not famous, and he does not accept those actors who already have a certain degree of fame.

Although I don't come from a professional background, I have an advantage over other actors. ’

In the First Commandment, I played the girl who was topped. ’

Even though I didn't get a name mixed up until the end, I had an advantage, yes, don't be nervous, I can definitely audition." ’

Cai Siqi kept encouraging herself in her heart.

To be honest, since she finished filming the First Commandment and was invited to join that internship group, she has always had the expectation of 'being invited one day', and it wasn't until she was officially invited yesterday that her expectation finally became a reality.

But even before, there was a lot of psychological construction, but now that she came to the audition site, she couldn't help but become nervous like everyone else.

This is Lu Zhengyi, who can be regarded as a 'textbook' figure in the history of Tang Dynasty films.

As a big director who can lead the 'trend', as long as he can star in his movies, he has basically laid the foundation for the fact that he will be popular in the future.

Yes, as long as the audition is successful and you get a relatively major role, you will definitely be popular.

This is the confidence of a great director.

If there is an opportunity to get in touch with a big director, how many actors would rather give up the resources they have already gotten in their hands, and they have to compete and rush to get over.

But again, for a big director, there are so many options they can choose from.

And those who are often selected are those powerful actors who already have a good reputation and ability.

is like an actor who is not famous at all, no matter what his ability is, it is basically impossible to be looked at.

Although occasionally there are some big directors who are willing to praise some small characters, the probability is too low.

In this process, no one knows what price these actors who are not famous but are lucky in the eyes of the outside world have paid.

But now, an outlier has come into this circle.

He just doesn't want those famous actors, he just likes to find those who are not famous.

Although I don't know why I have such a habit, this is a great thing for a young actor like Cai Siqi.

"Ah, Siqi, long time no see."

And just then, an excited voice sounded from the door.

Cai Siqi raised her head, and at the door, Huang Yunli, who had been 'chosen' in the First Commandment like herself, was walking over in three steps and two steps.

"Okay, long time no see."

Cai Siqi stood up and stammered back.

Of course, she knew that there was another person who was also very advantageous today.

In fact, after they were invited to the group together, they also met a few times in private.

Strictly speaking, this Huang Yunli has more advantages than herself, she plays the delivery girl in the first commandment, which can be regarded as a supporting role.

What about yourself? It's just a group performance with only one shot.

It can even be said that he is not an 'actor', and an actor is not an actor, just like an online author is often called a writer rather than an author.

But it's true.

"Don't be nervous, we still have an advantage."

Huang Yunli sat down next to her with a big grin, "We are old acquaintances with the crew." ”

As soon as he said this, the other auditioners in the room cast their eyes.

The eyes that were as sharp as a sword made Cai Siqi couldn't help but move her ass away from her.

"I, I haven't even spoken to Director Lu."

She whispered, and the whole person sat there exuding an aura of 'come and bully me'.

"Teacher Zhou Ziyun, it's your turn to audition."

At this moment, the door of the lounge was opened, and Bai Wei walked in from outside the door, holding a 'notebook' stacked from several resumes in his hand, "This is your resume information." ”

As he spoke, he took out a copy from the 'notebook' in his hand and handed it back to a man with short curly hair.

"I'm in trouble."

The short-haired man took his resume, replied politely, and walked out of the room bypassing him.

"Yo, Viagra."

And just when Bai Wei was about to turn around and leave, Huang Yunli said hello very familiarly.

Now, the mood of the other actors in the audition room is even more complicated.

Bai Wei turned his head, and after seeing the two people sitting in the corner, he replied with a smile, "It's you, you came quite early." ”

"Hey, so there are a lot of auditioners coming up?"

Huang Yunli interpreted this sentence, "Wow, the pressure is so great all of a sudden." ”

Then, she turned to say, "Viagra, didn't you say in the group yesterday that people are still in their hometown, I thought you wouldn't come to the audition today." ”

"I just arrived in the morning, too."

Bai Wei explained simply, "Come and be an apprentice." ”

As he spoke, his gaze inadvertently swept over the other actors who were auditioning present, and quickly said, "Okay, it's time for me to go." ”
