Chapter 181 Audition.
The script of "The Sound of the Wind" is adapted from Mai Jia's novel of the same name, which was just published last year. After reading it, Chen Guofu thought the novel was very exciting, so he came up with the idea of adapting it into a movie, but he took part of the original draft of the adapted script to follow When President Xiao Wang applied for funding for the filming, he was rejected.
The reason is also very simple. Xiaogangpao's new film [If You Are the One] has just been approved, and all the resources of the company are tilted towards him.
Of course, this is just a rhetoric. Now that Huayi has a big family and a big business, there is no problem at all to make two movies at the same time. To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than Xiao Wang is not optimistic about this project.
After all, there is no domestic spy war movie that has a good box office. What's more, Chen Guofu invested 8000 million yuan when he opened his mouth.
Chen Guofu's project was called back, but he didn't give up on the idea, so he found Gao Qunshu, but Gao Qunshu was also unfavorable and failed to attract investment. It was not until Zhou Xing paid for the investment that the project was not stranded.
For this, Chen Guofu was very grateful to Zhou Xing, and took the initiative to take on the role of the main screenwriter.
Gao Qunshu smiled and said, "Why don't you come to our place, and I'll be the production director for you."
"Come on, I don't intend to compete with you for a job." Although Chen Guofu is grateful to Zhou Xing for bringing this drama to the screen, "Zhixing Film and Television" is not as good as Huayi after all. Besides, Huayi will be listed next year, so his treatment Naturally, a rising tide lifts all boats, how many people are waiting to board the boat, how could he leave at this time?
Gao Qunshu shrugged at Zhou Xing, expressing that he had tried his best, and Zhou Xing could only shake his head regretfully. The foundation of "Zhixing Film and Television" is still too weak. It is normal for Chen Guofu not to want to change jobs, but it is good to have a good relationship now. In the future, there will be plenty of opportunities to poach the wall. After all, with Huayi's Xiao Wang always around, any kind of talent is easy to poach.
"Director Gao, how did Yingda respond?" Zhou Xing turned around and asked.
Gao Qunshu smiled triumphantly: "It's done, this guy has been flustered recently, so he agreed without saying a word."
To put it bluntly, Yingda is not an ordinary small role. In his early years, he directed "I Love My Family" and opened a precedent for Chinese sitcoms. His father, Ying Ruocheng, even became the second-in-command of the Ministry of Culture. However, compared with those in the Beijing circle, Yingda seems to be very low-key. He himself also got a double master's degree in directing and acting from Missouri State University's Department of Drama. He is still very talented.
"Then, what about Wang Zhiwen?" Zhou Xing asked.
Gao Qunshu couldn't help frowning. He had already contacted Wang Zhiwen's manager, but there was no news.
"Well, if it doesn't work, we can only consider a backup role." Zhou Xing said helplessly. The role of Wang Tianxiang is not the protagonist in "The Wind". According to the role of the play, he can only be regarded as the third male lead. With Wang Zhiwen's status in the circle, It's normal not to pick up.
Gao Qunshu nodded unwillingly, however, at this moment, his call suddenly stopped.
"Oh, okay, okay, thank you, thank you so much."
Zhou Xing looked at Gao Qunshu inexplicably, and laughed for a while: "Old Gao, what's the matter? So happy?"
"Haha, Wang Zhiwen agreed, he agreed to play Wang Tianxiang." Gao Qunshu was like a child, almost dancing in the conference room with joy.
Zhou Xing was stunned for a moment, a little unbelievable: "Really, did you really agree?"
"He called me himself just now, saying that he just finished reading the script, and he didn't even ask about the salary." Gao Qunshu pointed to the phone.
"That's great!" Zhou Xing also waved his fist happily. Wang Zhiwen's acting skills are among the best in the mainland film and television industry. In 2001, two anti-drug films were broadcast, one [Black Ice] and one [Black Hole]. Black Ice is starring Wang Zhiwen, while Black Hole is starring Chen Daoming. Coincidentally, the roles played by the two are very similar, but judging from the audience's reaction, Guo Xiaopeng played by Wang Zhiwen in "Black Ice" is obviously better.
After the excitement, everyone also felt the burden on their shoulders. A big man like Wang Zhiwen is willing to come to this drama to play the male number three. If the filming of this drama is not good, it will not live up to Wang Zhiwen's trust.
On the other side, Huayi.
"Sister, this drama is really as good as you said? It's just the second female lead, is it more important than the first female lead in [If You Are the One]?" Li Bingbing was a little skeptical.
Li Xue sighed: "The female number one of [If You Are the One] has basically decided on Shu Qi by default, you should know that Director Feng, even Xiao Wang always coaxes him, no one can change his mind."
Li Bingbing was still a little reconciled, and just about to speak, Li Xue patted her on the shoulder with a smile: "I read the script, and the role of the second female in this drama is no less than that of the first female. With your acting skills, maybe Can get a queen crown!"
This sentence directly hit Li Bingbing's heart. After so many years of acting, although Li Bingbing has received some recognition, he has never won the best actress, and the circle keeps comparing her with Fan Bingbing, which also makes her very distressed , obviously Fan Bingbing's acting skills are incomparable to hers, it's nothing more than hype and thigh hugging.
"Okay, then I'll prepare well, when will I have an audition?" Li Bingbing couldn't help but feel a little depressed when he said this. He is also an actor, and Zhou Xun doesn't have to do anything, just the female number one, and a female number two, she still has to worry about it Baal's to audition.
"Next week."
Li Bingbing took a deep breath. In her opinion, the reason why Zhou Xun so many people asked her to play the lead actress is because of the halo on her head. If she also gets the actress, after thinking about it, Can't help but clenched his fists.
Seeing her sister's fighting spirit, Li Xue left silently, only to return to the office.
"Please come in." Li Xue didn't expect that it was Su Youpeng who came in.
Su Youpeng smiled and sat opposite Li Xue: "Mr. Li, I heard that there is an A-level production recently. I wonder if there is any suitable role for me?"
No wonder Su Youpeng was in a hurry. He signed with Huayi in 06. In terms of qualifications, he was popular all over the country when he was in the Little Tigers. Later, his popularity for solo flying did not diminish at all. In the past few years, he has rarely appeared in the public eye. If this continues, he will be useless.
Now that he suddenly heard that an A-level production was casting, he naturally wanted to pay attention.
After all, she is an artist of Huayi, Li Xue did not hide it: "For this drama, Zhang Hanyu has already been appointed as the male lead."
"What about the second male? Otherwise, the third male is also fine." Su Youpeng said hastily, now is not the time for him to choose the script.
Li Xue shook his head: "The second male, Zhou Xing, is also an investor, so it is impossible to change. As for the third male, it is said that he is contacting Teacher Wang Zhiwen."
Well, Su Youpeng suddenly became wilted, who is Wang Zhiwen?If Huayi was the investor in this movie, it might be reasonable to praise his own people, but unfortunately, it is not. Why should he compete with Wang Zhiwen for the role?Unless Wang Zhiwen is unwilling to act.
But Su Youpeng did not give up. To be precise, he has no way out. The cast of this drama is so strong that it has a good chance of becoming popular.
"Mr. Li, what about the male fourth?"
Li Xue didn't expect Su Youpeng to be so persistent. In general movies, the male number four is a character who has no sense of presence. Because the movie is not a TV series, the length is too short. Two hours is not enough time to introduce the protagonist. How can there be a scene for it? Male number four?
However, Li Xue opened the drawer and took a look: "There is indeed a character of Bai Xiaonian, but"
"What?" Su Youpeng asked eagerly.
"The character design of this character is a rabbit master."
Su Youpeng:
Coming out of Li Xue's office, Su Youpeng felt very depressed. The entertainment industry is such a realistic place. Regardless of how brilliant you were in the past, if you don't become popular one day, you will inevitably be looked at by people, and the media will also pour you "out of breath" The label, and once the label is stuck, it is difficult to tear it off.
"Okay, why is he a rabbit master?" Su Youpeng read the script more and more delightedly. He found that although Bai Xiaonian was the fourth male lead, he actually had a lot of roles, and this character was very distinctive. It's not the kind of supporting role that plays soy sauce.
However, for a star, it is necessary to think carefully about which role to play. It is easy to say that it is easy to lose the burden of being an idol, but how many people can actually do it?
Especially stars like Su Youpeng who debuted as idols must pay more attention to their image, otherwise, once their image collapses, they may never have a chance to get back up again.
But, does he really have a way out?As he gets older, there are fewer and fewer roles suitable for him. He is not vicissitudes enough to play an uncle, but to play a young man?There are so many young actors in the market, and the salary is still cheap, why should I hire you?
"Hey, Mr. Li, when is the audition?"
After hanging up the phone, Su Youpeng gritted his teeth: "Next week, this role must be taken!"
A week later.
Li Xue brought Li Bingbing, Su Youpeng, and several other artists from Huayi to Zhixing Film and Television.
"It looks good here?" Li Bingbing and Su Youpeng looked at each other. In fact, the understanding of "Zhixing Film and Television" in the circle has always been in the early days, and they even thought that it was just a grass-roots team created by Zhou Xing, just like Hua Tsai's. Yingyi Entertainment is just a leisurely move in spare time.
But after entering the door, I found that the scale of this place is actually not small, with two floors and distinct functions.
"I'll go, Huayi's is also here?"
"Li Bingbing actually came to this company to audition?"
After all, "Zhixing Film and Television" is still small, and the actors who came to audition lined up from the reception room on the second floor to the stairs. Li Xue did not expect so many people to audition.
Of course, Zhou Xing still gave Huayi some face, instead of asking them to line up on the stairs, he asked them to take them to the reception room.
"Cut, what's the air, what about Huayi? What about Li Bingbing? Don't you want to audition like us?"
Seeing Li Xue swaggering out of the "back door" with people, some of the actors queuing up to audition couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, but everyone also understood in their hearts that the entertainment industry is a place where privilege runs rampant?
But before they had eaten the lemon, two more passed them upstairs.
"What happened to me? How did she come?"
"Is there a good show today? Why did Sister Hua bump into someone from Huayi?"
That's right, the person who came was Wang Jinghua, and no one was spitting out lemons this time. After all, in the circle, Sister Hua's reputation was not comparable to that of Li Bingbing and Li Xue.
Zhou Xing had been auditioning with Gao Qunshu in the practice room, but now he can only come out to receive him.
"Sister Hua, long time no see."
"Well, you still have the guts. The first thing you do is an A-level production. No, as soon as you heard about it, I brought someone to play the autumn wind." Wang Jinghua said and did not forget to introduce the girl she brought.
"This is Bai Baihe, my newly signed artist."
"Hello, Miss Bai." Zhou Xing didn't despise her just because she was a newcomer, after all, Wang Jinghua brought her here.
The girl smiled and shook Zhou Xing's hand and said, "It's great to see you, Brother Xing, I'm your fan."
Zhou Xing didn't take it seriously either. In the entertainment industry, anyone who believes in such a scene is a fool.
"Sister Hua, some old friends are still in the reception room, why don't we welcome them together?" Zhou Xing made a gesture of invitation.
Why did Wang Jinghua only bring Bai Baihe here?To put it bluntly, I just want Zhou Xing to sell her face. You see, I want a role, not many, right?
If it was an ordinary drama, Zhou Xing would have given the face. This drama is not good, but he directly refused everyone's face, so he pushed Huayi in front of Wang Jinghua. Everyone is smart, and they know what to do at a glance. something happened.
"I thought who was the old friend Ah Xing was talking about, but it turned out to be you, Xiaoxue and Bingbing, long time no see." Wang Jinghua secretly scolded Zhou Xing, a little fox, but on the surface she had a fierce fight with Sister Li Xue.
Li Xue didn't expect to see Wang Jinghua here, but she knew what was going on when she saw the little girl behind her.
Wang Jinghua can be said to be Li Xue's master, and she has a very good relationship with Li Bingbing, so it was inevitable to exchange pleasantries.
"How is it? Is Bingbing doing well recently?" Wang Jinghua asked seemingly inconspicuously.
Li Bingbing is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he sighed: "What's more, Sister Hua, if it's good, why don't I come here to audition for a female number two?"
Well, one sentence directly killed Wang Jinghua's words, you see, I am also in a miserable life, or give me this role.
Wang Jinghua had no choice but to give up after seeing it: "Ah Xing, when is the role of Li Ningyu auditioning?"
Zhou Xing glanced at the time: "In a quarter of an hour, you can prepare first."
In the bathroom, Li Bingbing was so angry that his face turned blue: "What the hell, a young actor who just debuted came to compete with me for a role!"
Li Xue reassured: "In any case, they are all sister Hua's people, okay, with your acting skills, can't you kill her in seconds?"
Depressed, Li Bingbing began to touch up her makeup. Although she was confident in her acting skills, she didn't dare to overdo it. This dark lipstick was meant to reflect the character's status. Li Ningyu is such an intellectual and calm woman.
On the other side, Wang Jinghua is also giving Bai Baihe a small talk: "I didn't expect Bingbing to come to audition for this role. Her appearance and conditions are more suitable for the role of Li Ningyu than you. Now I can only fight hard. I will go in later." Don't laugh, try to act with a cold face."
"En." Bai Baihe was still very obedient.
"Actresses who audition for Li Ningyu, please line up here."
