Cheng Xia was the last actor who participated in the audition today. After he went out, the staff at the audition studio began to pack up. The whole day of audition made everyone physically and mentally exhausted. Let's have a meal together."
Zhang Fan had already booked a nearby restaurant, and Pei Shaoze called all the main creators of the crew over, closed the door, and chatted while eating.
The role of Qin Nian was played by Cheng Xia, and everyone had no opinion. After all, Cheng Xia's performance was indeed remarkable. The author, President Pei and the director all liked him very much. As for the other roles, Pei Shaoze asked, "Who do you think is more suitable for the protagonist Lu Fengyang?" He looked at the author Lemongrass: "Does Teacher Lemongrass have any favorite actors?"
Lemongrass recalled it carefully, smiled and shook her head: "To be honest, there are a lot of Alphas who auditioned in the morning, and each one looks more handsome than the other, but I am not particularly impressed."
The same is true for Liu Xueyi, he took out his notebook and glanced at it, and said with a bitter face: "I gave each actor a score, the Alpha in the morning scene is more messy than the afternoon scene, Lu Fengyang's character is a bit ruffian Angry, as a result, most people played Lu Fengyang into a third-rate thug!"
Pei Shaoze thought to himself, Cheng Xia must be fine in the lead role, but who will play with him? If the role of Lu Fengyang is not chosen well, it will be very embarrassing for the two to cooperate well enough to perform. Pei Shaoze didn't particularly like the Alpha in the morning session. The people who auditioned yesterday were the ones who impressed him the most were Ye Mingqian and Cheng Xia in the afternoon session.
Ye Mingqian's acting skills are really good, but his appearance is too inconsistent with the cool and handsome Alpha. Pei Shaoze thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "If it doesn't work, find someone from outside. I've watched a lot of school dramas recently. Director Liu, what do you think of Alpha starring in the drama "The Classmate Next Door" you filmed last year? ?"
Liu Xueyi was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that President Pei, the little drama he filmed two years ago, had actually watched it. He recalled for a moment, and asked tentatively, "Pei always said, Shen Kai?" Seeing Pei Shaoze nodding, Liu Xueyi immediately frowned tangled: "Shen Kai was still a little transparent when I was filming with me, and his acting skills are really good. Not bad, but this person is more Buddhist, and he has not had any works for more than a year."
Everyone obviously didn't expect that President Pei would pay attention to this kind of 18-line small transparency. In fact, the reason why Pei Shaoze watched so many school dramas like looking for a needle in a haystack was to find a suitable person to play with Cheng Xia.
Pei Shaoze said: "Shen Kai has cooperated with you before, and if we cooperate again, it will be more tacit. Cheng Xia is a newcomer. If the protagonist who plays with Cheng Xia the most also finds an inexperienced newcomer, and the filming is frequent, it is likely to delay the production of the crew. schedule."
Liu Xueyi quickly understood: "Mr. Pei means that the role of Lu Fengyang is to choose an Alpha actor who has a tacit understanding with me and let him take Cheng Xia, so that the internal running-in of the crew will be smoother?"
Pei Shaoze nodded: "What do you think, Director Liu?"
Liu Xueyi thought about it carefully and felt that this method was feasible.
In a drama, the two protagonists with the most roles are all newcomers with no experience in cooperation, and the risk is too great. One of them has cooperated with the director and has a certain tacit understanding, and the other is a newcomer, so that the filming of director Liu will be much smoother. Shen Kai is now a little transparent, not expensive, and has good acting skills. Thinking about it carefully, it is really the most suitable.
Liu Xueyi simply decided: "No problem, I'll contact Shen Kai later. This guy has been idle recently, and there is a drama filming. For him, it is probably a pie from the sky."
Pei Shaoze said with a "hmm", "How does Ye Mingqian arrange it? How about making him a cameo in the Omega school girl? Although it is a supporting role, the role of the second male lead is equally important."
Lemongrass remembered Ye Mingqian's beauty, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "President Pei is referring to Xu Fei in "Folding Paper"? He has a gentle personality, likes to smile, and is the dream lover of many Alphas in the school. He liked Qin Nian at first, but also Confessed to Qin Nian, and later found out that Qin Nian was an Omega, and the two became best friends?"
Pei Shaoze said: "Yes, let Ye Mingqian play this role, and the effect of the rivalry with Cheng Xia should be good."
The more Liu Xueyi listened, the more excited he became: "One of the two Omegas is beautiful and the other is handsome. The beautiful Omega confessed to the handsome Omega. This shot is absolutely explosive! I think Alpha can stand aside, Cheng Xia and Ye Mingqian stand together, That picture is too eye-catching, this drama is filmed, maybe someone will stand on the CP of Cheng Xia and Ye Mingqian, haha." He excitedly wrote a note on the notebook, and suddenly pointed, "However, Ye Mingqian is quite popular. , would he be willing to play the male supporting role?"
Pei Shaoze: "I personally talk to his agent."
With Mr. Pei's words, Liu Xueyi suddenly felt relieved.
Pei Shaoze in front of him gave people a particularly reliable feeling. He said that Chen Yijun would write the theme song, and Liu Xueyi believed it without a doubt. He said that he would talk to Ye Mingqian's agent, and Liu Xueyi felt that this matter must be stable.
Liu Xueyi asked casually, "What do you think about the other supporting roles?"
Pei Shaoze said: "Zhang Xiaoheng, who is a childhood sweetheart with Qin Nian, is the funny person in the whole play. You can let Qi Xiaofei, who is a child star from Tianxuan, try it. He has a baby face, so he should be able to play funny scenes. The role of sister Qin Yue, Liu What do you think about Xue Ling?"
Liu Xueyi nodded immediately: "I also like the girl Xue Ling, she has a cold temperament and fits her sister's character very well."
There is still one buddy of Lu Fengyang, Pei Shaoze said: "One of the Alphas who auditioned this morning is called Zhou Jiawen. He has done well. He has made a lot of online dramas and has rich experience. At least he won't fall off the chain."
Pei Shaoze's words just touched Director Liu's heart, and Liu Xueyi couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Pei, have you really never been a producer before? I think your eyes on people are at the level of a professional director."
Pei Shaoze said calmly, "These are my personal thoughts. I'll only give you a reference. It's up to Director Liu to decide."
Liu Xueyi slapped his thigh and said simply: "Mr. Pei is quick to work, and I don't have any ink on it anymore. Let's decide on the six important roles first. I'll contact Shen Kai when I go back, and I'll make a publicity announcement after I get him."
Pei Shaoze nodded, looked at Lemongrass, and said with a friendly attitude, "Teacher author, are you willing to participate in the script adaptation? Qin Nian and Lu Fengyang are characters created by you, after all, if you can participate in the gatekeeping, we will be very welcome. "
Lemongrass clenched her fingers under the table and said softly, "But I have no experience as a screenwriter."
Xu Muran said sincerely: "it's okay, with me, we can work together!"
Pei Shaoze promised: "Your name will be added to the screenwriter's signature, and the experienced teacher Xu will help you in the details. You can control the overall plot trend and try not to let the plot go astray. How about you, think about it?"
Lemongrass immediately agreed: "Okay!" She smiled and looked at Pei Shaoze with sincerity in her eyes: "Mr. Pei, to be honest, when Tianxuan asked me to come over for the audition, I didn't expect you to treat me like this. The attitude of this drama will be so serious. When I saw Cheng Xia's performance today, I think he is like Qin Nian who came out of a book. I am willing to personally participate in the adaptation, and I hope everyone can work together to make this drama well, thank you Pei Always give me this chance."
Pei Shaoze stretched out his hand gracefully: "You are polite, I should say, thank you for creating such a lovely character Qin Nian and giving Cheng Xia the opportunity to play him personally."
Important protagonists and supporting roles were set for a meal, and every actor and character image fit perfectly. Pei Shaoze's vision, efficiency and decisiveness as a producer made everyone secretly amazed.
The next day, Liu Xueyi contacted Shen Kai, who had worked with him. Shen Kai, who was hit by a pie in the sky, excitedly sent a large line of hugging expressions: "Director Liu, you actually remember me, I am so fucking touched!"
Liu Xueyi thought silently, I almost forgot you, you should thank President Pei for his insight.
On Ye Mingqian's side, the agent was initially reluctant to let him play the second male lead, but Pei Shaoze calmly said that if the second male lead in an idol drama is done well, the fans won't be less than the male lead. Besides, the character of this character is very good. There are also a lot of rival scenes with the protagonist. Two good-looking Omegas stand together, and there is definitely enough topicality.
In addition, the remuneration he offered to the second male was not low, the agent thought about it carefully and agreed.
February 10th is the Spring Festival. Before the Spring Festival, Pei Shaoze asked Hui Tianxuan to sign the contract. Set it in advance to avoid any changes after the festival.
Zhou Yan was so happy that she wanted to go downstairs to run a circle - all the four artists she brought were actually selected!
Cheng Xia chose the protagonist Qin Nian, Qi Xiaofei played Qin Nian's Faxiao, Xue Ling played Qin Nian's sister, and Zhou Jiawen played Lu Fengyang's Faxiao. These are all important supporting roles in the play.
You know, many newcomers in the entertainment industry started out as maids, servants, bodyguards, and passersby. They didn't even have a line. They could play important supporting roles.
This is an experience, and acting skills and experience must be accumulated slowly.
Several newcomers were very happy, and the three congratulated Cheng Xia one after another, and went to sign the contract with the agent.
Cheng Xia saw Ye Mingqian in President Pei's office.
Ye Mingqian wore a nice white coat, Cheng Xia smiled at him, and Ye Mingqian returned a gentle smile.
The agent Ye Ping was a little unhappy. After all, the protagonist was taken away by this newcomer named Cheng Xia. She couldn't understand why Ye Mingqian was much better than this newcomer regardless of his fame and acting skills, right? Why did you choose Cheng Xia in the end
Ye Mingqian himself didn't mind the role being robbed, so he extended his hand generously: "Cheng Xia, happy cooperation."
Cheng Xia also shook hands with him and said with a smile, "Take care of me."
Ye Mingqian turned and left, and Zhou Yan brought four newcomers into the house to sign the contract. The salaries of newcomers are not high, starting from 100,000 yuan, and it is impossible to keep up with the first-line stars who are paid tens of millions of yuan, but it is already a huge sum of money for college students like them.
The newcomers happily signed, and Pei Shaoze warned: "The Spring Festival will be in two days. You can go home for the New Year, adjust your status, and choose a day to start the machine after the Spring Festival. The specific time will be notified by the agent."
The four of them thanked President Pei one after another.
After signing the contract, Zhou Yan took them and turned to go out. Pei Shaoze suddenly said, "Cheng Xia, you stay."
