After a scene was over, Director Jiang was impressed by Ye Dansha.
We cannot say that Ye Dansha’s performance was perfect, but it should be no problem to give her 85 points. This score is already very high for Director Jiang. After all, there was only half an hour of preparation time, so many lines, and the performance had to be designed, which was not easy.
He heard that the person auditioning was Ye Dansha, and deliberately picked a more difficult scene. If he didn't act well, he would just be glaring and cursing, and he wouldn't be able to show the character's complex emotions. If he only showed anger, that would be wrong.
I didn't expect that Ye Dansha understood the inner world of this character. Her grasp of rhythm and burst points were very accurate. Her performance was layered, and the handling of some micro-expressions and small details also added points.
After Ye Dansha finished her performance, she stood there nervously. She didn't know if she had read her lines correctly, and she didn't know if she had expressed some of the details that were specially set before. She was already in a state of anger and self-blame. This seemed to be the first time she felt the feeling of being one with the role. In short, she had tried her best and used all her abilities.
Gu Yunchen coughed twice and said, "Ye Dansha, go down and have a rest first. I will discuss this with Director Jiang and then give you an answer."
"Okay." Ye Dansha stepped out.
"How is it, Director Jiang?" Gu Yunchen raised his eyebrows and asked Director Jiang with a smile.
He is absolutely sure that Director Jiang is willing to keep Ye Dansha. Ye Dansha's performance today also surprised him. He felt that he should be looked at with new eyes after three days of absence. She has made great progress.
It seems that her six months of silence were not wasted, and she focused on studying her business.
Director Jiang said pertinently: "Among all the actors who auditioned for this role, Ye Dansha performed the best."
He is a man who speaks his mind. He had a prejudice against Ye Dansha before, but Ye Dansha's performance was indeed good.
"Then... is it settled?"
Director Jiang nodded: "Let's choose her!"
Ye Dansha sat in the lounge with her mind empty. For the first time, she felt so tired from acting. In the past, she was physically exhausted, but today, she was mentally exhausted. After putting her whole heart into it, she felt as if her soul was being pulled out of her.
However, she was happy because, regardless of whether she could get the role or not, she knew she had made progress.
The door was pushed open and Gu Yunchen walked in.
Ye Dansha stood up quickly: "Director Gu."
"Yedansha, let me make it clear first, the pay is not high."
"It doesn't matter." Ye Dansha was secretly happy. Telling her the pay, does that mean the role belongs to her
"Where's your agent? Not here with you?"
Ye Dansha said somewhat embarrassedly: "I don't have an agent now."
"Oh... I'll let my secretary talk to you about the contract." Gu Yunchen said and turned around.
"Director Gu."
Gu Yunchen turned around and looked at her.
"Is this the opportunity that Su Ran helped me to get?" Ye Dansha still wanted to confirm it.
Gu Yunchen pondered and said, "She helped you get it, but you seized the opportunity yourself. It's not easy to get Director Jiang's approval."
Ye Dansha was stunned. It was indeed her!
Gu Yunchen left Ye Dansha and went straight to another room. In fact, Su Ran and Ning Xi were also in Wanli in the afternoon. Of course, they did not come specifically for Ye Dansha, but to bring a specially made prosthesis for Su Ran, who needed to try it on.
"Does it still hurt? Is it too tight?" the staff asked.
Su Ran shook her head and smiled, "No, it's okay."
The program crew was very conscientious. In fact, her prosthesis only appeared in two shots in the film, and she didn't have to walk with it on. However, the program crew customized a special prosthesis worth tens of thousands of dollars. It looked simple on the outside but was comfortable on the inside.
Gu Yunchen used the high salaries for the actors on production, which is also the main reason why he does not hire popular stars, but only stars with good acting skills. If the majority of the investment in a drama is paid for the salaries, then the only way is to desperately cut down on the production budget. Can a good work still be produced
"That's it, take it off." Ning Xi said
"Huh? Finished the test so quickly?" Gu Yunchen walked in.
Ning Xi asked, "How long do you think it will take? Has Ye Dansha finished her audition?"
"Well, she's made great progress. I've kept her. The secretary is negotiating a contract with her right now."
"Great progress? Is that true?" Ning Xi was skeptical. Didn't Gu Yunchen have high standards? Su Ran said she had confidence in Ye Dansha's acting skills, but she was not so optimistic.
"What's so good about this? If you don't believe me, go ask Director Jiang. It was Director Jiang's decision to stay."
Ning Xi had nothing to say. Director Jiang had higher requirements and was more professional than Gu Yunchen. As long as Ye Dansha could get Director Jiang's approval, her performance would not be bad.
Su Ran said, "After Ye Dansha broke up with Shen Ming, she has been studying acting with a teacher from the Central Academy of Drama and has also tried to act in a drama. I only found out about this recently."
Ye Dansha should have realized that relying on the financial sponsor alone was not reliable, and that she had to rely on her own strength, so she began to focus on improving her own abilities. No matter how she talked to her before, she would not listen. Some people! Only after they have suffered a loss will they learn a lesson.
"It's better to keep your feet on the ground." Gu Yunchen sighed.
Just then, there was a commotion outside.
"We want to see Director Gu, ask him to come out."
"Gu Yunchen, come out here, you little villain, you exclude those who are not your equal, you kill the donkey after it has done its work..."
"There must be an explanation."
"That's right, you have to give an explanation, otherwise we'll go to labor arbitration."
"Everyone, Director Gu is not here." The person who spoke was Director Jiang's assistant Xiao Luo.
Gu Yunchen's face turned cold, and Ning Xi asked worriedly, "What happened?"
"Nothing, just a few clowns trying to fight for someone." Gu Yunchen sneered.
A staff member flashed in, walked up to Gu Yunchen, and said, "Boss Gu, they also called reporters. There are many reporters gathered outside the building now. Secretary He said it's best for you not to show up for now."
Gu Yunchen sneered. He hadn't done anything shameful, so why should he hide? Didn't they call in the reporters? Very good, then he would go and talk to the reporters.
Gu Yunchen raised his leg and walked out.
"Gu Yunchen." Ning Xi called his name in a hurry. Usually when there were people around, she would call him Mr. Gu.
Gu Yunchen saw the worried look in Ning Xi's eyes and said softly, "Don't worry, it's okay."
"Gu Yunchen, bring a few more people with you. They are making trouble not to seek justice, but to embarrass you." Su Ran reminded.
Ning Xi has been to Wanli many times, and she knows some of the inside stories of Wanli because she is close to Gu Yunchen. There are many Zhu family members in Wanli Pictures. Vice President Zhu Chunlai is Zhu Huiyu's second brother, and the middle-level managers of some important departments are all relatives and friends of the Zhu family. This is also the reason why Gu Yunchen is constrained in everything he does in Wanli. If Gu Yunchen does not come to Wanli, Wanli will be the world of the surname Zhu. If Gu Yunchen wants to truly control Wanli, he must weaken the influence of the Zhu family in Wanli, which is bound to cause dissatisfaction among the Zhu family and will definitely cause trouble.
No matter what the relationship between her and Gu Yunchen is, just because of Gu Yunchen's character, Su Ran doesn't want Gu Yunchen to suffer any loss.
