Car Radio Voiceover: ......

……

Closing the script of "The Crucible", the shock in Chen You's heart could not be calmed down for a long time.

Even if it is not a complete script, this script is the most moving script that Chen You has ever received.

"The Crucible" is a large-scale story about the discovery of sexual violence in a school for the deaf and dumb with disabilities, and the school's teachers and human rights activists work together to uncover the dark behind it.

And the actor Jiang Renhao is a new art teacher.

"Pick it up!"

"Must take it!"

"Okay, Brother Chen, I'll go and get in touch."

Chen You held this precious script, and his excitement was beyond words.

For the thirty-three-year-old, tepid Chen You, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

As a powerful actor of the Mesozoic generation in the entertainment industry, Chen You appears on the screen quite frequently.

Most often starred in some police and gangster films, playing some supporting roles such as captains and squad leaders.

6 years ago, Chen You won the Best Supporting Actor of the three major domestic gold and phoenix awards once, but nothing has changed.

Powerful actors, especially male actors, have no shortage of acting opportunities, but they have not been popular.

The roles are basically supporting roles, even if Chen You is found in the starring role, it is also a very bad script.

This situation is all too common in the entertainment industry.

In the entire entertainment industry, there is no shortage of powerful actors.

The reason why there are traffic stars and traffic actors in front of the stage is that capital is not popular.

A non-first-line Mesozoic actor, the commercial value cannot be compared with Xiao Xianrou.

No one praises it, there is no scandal, there is no hype, and naturally it can't be popular.

In the entertainment industry, there is another important word - opportunity.

Some actors have been cold for half their lives, but they suddenly became popular under circumstances that no one expected, and the drama was soft.

The reason why Chen You is so excited is because the importance of the protagonist is far greater than 99.9% of the supporting roles!

This is the consensus of the entertainment industry.

Even if the entertainment industry is developed, how many movies can there be in a year?

How many leading actor positions can there be?

Except for those bad movies, positions, and even fewer opportunities, it will not be the turn of a tepid Mesozoic actor like Chen You at all.

Red, who doesn't want to be popular in the entertainment industry?

Only when he is popular can Chen You receive more and better scripts.

……

Yanjing.

Chang'an Film and Television Company.

Chen You almost didn't hesitate, and booked a plane ticket as soon as he received Lin Qiu's news and rushed to Yanjing.

As soon as he entered the door of the Chang'an living room, Chen You saw Lin Qiu, Li Ya and assistant director Lu Yan discussing the details in the script.

Seeing Chen You coming, they got up one after another and greeted Chen You.

Chen You, an actor who concentrates on acting, Lin Qiu and Li Ya still appreciate and respect him.

When they met for the first time, Li Ya was a little restrained, but Lin Qiu said with a natural expression:

"Mr. Chen, you should have read the script of "The Crucible", I wonder if you are interested in trying this role?"

Hearing the title of Teacher Chen, Chen You immediately waved his hand and said:

"Don't don't, I'm just an actor, and the teacher can't afford it."

"Call me Chen You, or if you don't dislike it, just call me Brother Chen."

Just looking at Chen You's clothes, you know that Chen You doesn't have any frames, he dresses quite plainly, and he is quite easy-going when he talks.

"That's fine."

"Of course! Such a good script and opportunity, if I don't come, then what kind of actor will I be! ”

Chen You immediately smiled and said:

"I just watched 'Love Letter' on the plane, and it's so exciting."

"Li Ya's acting skills are superb."

A month after the release of "Love Letter", it will be able to watch it on the online platform.

Regarding this matter, it has always been handled by the company, and Lin Qiu has never taken care of it at all.

Hearing Chen You's praise, Li Ya's cheeks flushed slightly, "Brother Chen praised it." ”

"No, no, no, it's not some sycophancy."

"Good is good."

Chen You said sincerely.

He didn't even bother to shoot the sycophants of the big director of Xiazhou, and there was no need to shoot the sycophants of a 20-year-old rookie director.

"Okay, Brother Chen, can I try out now?"

"Absolutely."

Chen You said immediately.

The audition requirements for the film couldn't be more reasonable.

The reason why the first choice is Chen You is based on the judgment of the actor's acting skills and temperament.

Lin Qiu's current directing skills have not yet reached that master-level level, so he will look for actors according to the temperament of the original work in his previous life.

If Lin Qiu's directing skills reach the S level, the scope of casting will be wider.

……

After a simple audition, Lin Qiu was quite satisfied with the performance of Chen You, a professional actor!

Don't look at Chen You's chatter in private, as soon as he enters the state, he is a completely different person when he acts.

Lin Qiu even felt that he had more temperament than Kong Liu in his previous life.

The salary was finalized, and the contract was signed immediately.

"That's it, Brother Chen."

"There's a big audition for "The Crucible" tomorrow, why don't you come and help out?"

The big audition will audition for some supporting roles, and some of the most important little actors in the movie!

When you audition, you can always get into the mood better when you act with a real person than when you act in the air.

"Okay, no problem."

At the same time, Chen You responded, surprised that Chang'an Film and Television Company could move so fast.

You must know that in the film industry, investing in one movie a year is not slow.

"Love Letter" directed by Ke Lin Qiu has just been released, and the second film "The Melting Pot" is being prepared.

Once the cast is chosen, it will start in July.

The most important reason is still in the aspect of script polishing.

The movie really started up, and it was filmed quite quickly because of the limited duration.

It takes a lot of time to polish the script, and a successful movie must be based on a successful movie script!

But the script is really not a problem here in Lin Qiu......

As long as the right movie is drawn, Lin Qiu only needs to adapt the script slightly.

……

In the hot summer, the outside of Chang'an Film and Television Company was crowded with actors who came to audition.

Compared with the number of auditions in "Love Letter", the number of auditions has increased more than tenfold, and there are many well-known actors who come to audition!

Since the news of the audition for "The Crucible" was released, I don't know how many film and television companies and investors have come to inquire about investment cooperation and the situation of male and female leading actors.

Lin Qiu's current traffic is quite good among the fan group.

Once the new work is released, there will definitely be attention.

The 20-year-old ghost talent newcomer directs a new work, full of gimmicks.

In this way, naturally some film and television companies want to insert the actors in their own companies, and many film and television companies directly aim at the position of the male and female protagonists!

The rules of the entertainment industry have always been like this.

It's a pity that Chang'an is very hard.
