The next day, Yuhua Building.
Shi Yun met Xu Chuchu downstairs, and the two went to the twenty-seventh floor.
Yuhua Building is the office headquarters of South China Film and Television. As one of the three giants in the entertainment industry, countless TV programs and film and television dramas are produced here. The company covers a wide range of areas, including game production, variety shows, TV movies and various post-production.
South China Film and Television belongs to the Gu family, which is a century-old family with strong strength.
By the time Shi Yun arrived on the 27th floor, dozens of people were already standing in the hall, waiting for auditions.
"We are number thirty-nine." Xu Chuchu came over with the interview number, stood beside her, and whispered, "These are here to audition for small roles. Your competitors are all here."
Hearing this, Shi Yun observed it calmly. Most of the people were dressed up carefully. Because the role she was auditioning for was the heroine's college roommate, a girl who was not good at dressing up, she only wore lipstick.
It was still early, so Xu Chuchu pulled her to sit down on the side. Seeing that Shi Yun had been reading the script, he couldn't help but said with relief, "Don't put too much psychological pressure on yourself. The entertainment industry is so cruel. A small character is competing for the role." We have to fight to the death, and several important roles have been reserved internally. Sometimes it’s not that you are not good, it’s just that we don’t have enough resources.”
Shi Yun looked up from the script and looked at her.
Xu Chuchu sighed, lowered her voice and said, "The heroine is Meng Shiqing, and the hero is Duan Jingyan. Aren't the two of them engaged in scandals recently? With their own traffic, they can also take advantage of the opportunity to make money. This drama focuses on sweet pets, which is in line with the market, and With fans of the original work and Wang Yang on hand, I won’t be able to stretch my hips no matter what.”
"I think it's to prepare for the announcement and whet the fans' appetite. Then I can make a lot of money without having to speculate on CP."
Hearing Meng Shiqing's name, Shi Yun's eyes flashed slightly.
Although she is not a person who cares about face, and she doesn't want to compete with Meng Shiqing, but she is in the same crew, the other party is the heroine, and she is the Nth small role. Isn't this just for others to manipulate? It's not that I'm scared, I just feel a little weird.
Xu Chuchu didn't notice her emotions and was still talking about the news she had found out.
During this period, Shi Yun's phone vibrated twice. It was a message from Ji Huai: How are you
"No. 17, Zhang Jing."
The assistant's voice was calling, and the actor who came out had a sad face, probably because he was not performing well.
Shi Yun chatted with Ji Huai for a few words and found that the calling speed was getting faster and faster.
"No. 29, Zhang Liya."
"Number 36, Chen Nan."
…
"On the 39th, Shi Yun, come here and prepare in advance."
"Hurry, hurry, it's your turn." Xu Chuchu, holding the bag, also urged nervously.
At the same time, inside the studio.
The assistant director answered the phone again and whispered a few words to Wang Yang next to him. Wang Yang suddenly picked up the information in front of him and slammed it on the table. His anger was uncontrollable, "Am I the director or are they the director?" How many people have attended? Can this play still be performed?"
Several people around him were also startled. The assistant director could only persuade him, "Calm down. Shi Qing said this is the last one. That is the artist Zhang Xiao who was just signed by her studio. He also has some acting skills. That small role If you can afford it, you just come to show your face. I hope you can give me some face. No, the Meng family..."
Wang Yang tensed his jaw, pulled a face, and did not reply.
Meng Shiqing is the eldest daughter of the Meng family. The Meng family, the Gu family and the Ji family are all family friends. Gu Qingnan, the second young master of the Gu family, has invested a lot of money in this drama, but he has no say in it.
"How about letting her try out? We can give Shi Qing an explanation so that we can meet again in the future." The assistant director was still talking to Meng Shiqing.
Wang Yang sneered in his heart, the audition was just a formality and a waste of his time.
It's funny to say that he was originally very optimistic about this drama. After all, it is a classic, and he planned to strictly screen the actors. As a result, all the leading roles were reserved, and a lot of people were filled in. He was only allowed to audition for small roles. Now he has to fill in even small roles. people.
He was so angry that he didn't come to the last round of auditions. He finally relaxed his mood. Are you deliberately trying to disgust him
The so-called idol star who relies on hype and plastic surgery to make movies is to make quick money. When the time comes, he will leave a bad movie, wasting his time and ruining the original work.
"Hello teachers, my name is Chen Anya, and the role I am auditioning for is Zhang Qiu." A little girl wearing a white dress walked in and said hello, showing a cute smile, pretending to be pure and quiet.
Wang Yang glanced at her and directly crossed out the information, "Get out, you are not suitable for this role."
Chen Anya was stunned and stunned.
"Next time, come back to understand the character well. Please do a little homework, next one." Wang Yang spoke unceremoniously and sarcastically.
Shi Yun walked to the door and met the actress who was walking out. She complained to her agent with a dark face, "What's going on? Before I even started, he said I wasn't suitable. Am I sick?"
The agent asked her to be quiet quickly, but she still looked unhappy and vented her anger, "Why would you let people come here if you don't even give me a chance? It's a waste of my time! I'm not very free, I still have a lot of scenes to shoot!"
Shi Yun frowned when she heard it, and she was still a little nervous. She could hear some outside the door just now.
This director speaks very directly and seems to be very stern, but Chen Anya is really not suitable in terms of image. Zhang Qiu is a tomboy with a carefree temper and likes to wear denim overalls. Chen Anya wore heavy makeup and a fluttery dress today. White dress.
Shi Yun took a deep breath and walked in with a smile.
The assistant director asked Wang Yang in a lower tone, "How about making an appointment in the afternoon? We'll be staying here for a while. How about asking Zhang Xiao to come over?"
Shi Jing stood in the center of the stage, her pink lips slightly parted, and she spoke politely and slowly, "Hello teachers, I am Shi Yun, and the role I am auditioning for is Zhang Yan."
Wang Yang looked up at her. This character was Meng Shiqing's fortress, the heroine Xie Yue's college roommate. A lot of scenes may have to be added later.
The person on the stage was wearing a nude pink knee-length skirt, with a slim figure, shawl-length black and smooth hair, a palm-sized face that was clean, smooth and flawless, with clear eyebrows and bright eyes like stars.
Wang Yang suddenly asked, his eyes still falling on her face, "Have you ever had plastic surgery? Any fine-tuning counts."
Shi Jing shook her head, "No."
She couldn't remember anything from the past, but she had gone to the hospital for many checkups, so she probably didn't have it.
"Let's get started." Wang Yang turned over the information in his hand and said no more.
The assistant director next to him didn't look either. He looked down at his phone. For him, this role was predetermined and he was just going through the motions.
"Xie Yue." The person on the stage suddenly spoke, with a clear voice and a smile, "You still don't admit it? I just saw you and Yin Quan. What were you doing downstairs in the dormitory? I can see clearly .”
"Quick, confess and be lenient, you can't deceive my sharp eyes~~"
…
Wang Yang looked over again. The scene chosen by Shi Yun was when Zhang Yan saw the male and female protagonists hugging each other. As a roommate, she was so excited and excited that she was so excited.
When I first entered college, I fell in love alone in the dormitory, and the whole dormitory was excited and curious, the kind of emotion that belongs to youth.
Shi Yun walked quickly to the stage and faced the people sitting below. His black and white eyes were bright and lively, his face was full of energy, his red lips were slightly upturned, and his face was so fair and delicate that everyone was curious, "Tell me about it." Well, you..."
"Have you read the original work?" Wang Yang suddenly shouted, interrupting her performance.
The producer and assistant director stopped what they were doing and focused on Shi Yun.
She quickly calmed down, unable to guess Wang Yang's purpose, so she could only answer truthfully, "I read it three times, and read it carefully once."
"What is Chapter 23?" Wang Yang said, putting his phone aside. On the screen was a message from Gu Qingnan. He clenched his hands and tried his best to restrain his excitement.
Shi Yun didn't think much about it: "Yin Quan's mother left, and Xie Yue went to find him. This was the climax of the emotional drama. Yin Quan got to know her better and felt sympathy for her."
"I'll give you three minutes to prepare, and you act out this part." Wang Yang said directly.
As soon as the words came out, everyone present, including Shi Yun, was stunned.
This is the heroine's play.
Shi Yun didn't hesitate. Wang Yang glanced at his watch and reminded, "It's six minutes now, and it will be nine minutes in three minutes."
She bowed hastily, without asking any more questions, and quickly walked aside to prepare.
"This..." The assistant director was confused.
Wang Yang didn't give any explanation, flipping through the information and character sheet at hand.
Three minutes later.
Shi Yun came over. She liked the role of the heroine very much. She loved her passionately and sincerely, bravely and openly. She was stubborn and fearless. She spent a lot of time reading the original work carefully.
Wang Yang said without further ado, "Let's get started."
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere on the stage suddenly changed. The people on the stage put on anxious looks on their faces and walked quickly to the side, searching and searching. They suddenly stopped and called out softly, "Yin Quan" ?”
She was clearly facing the air, but it couldn't help but remind people of the scene in the novel, where the male protagonist sat slumped on the ground, and she walked towards him cautiously and anxiously.
"It's okay..." She pretended to be relaxed. The next second, she stopped what she had not finished and her expression changed.
In the original novel, the male protagonist told her to shut up, and his tone was very bad.
There was a moment of silence, and she slowly sat down, leaning on her knees, looking sideways, "I have never seen my mother. I heard people say that she is a very beautiful woman, but she went to be someone else's mother." .”
"So what if I don't have a mother? Am I still fine?"
…
She fell into memories and spoke in detail, without any sadness in her voice, as if she was telling someone else's story.
On campus, she is lively, smart, fresh and pleasant. This is another side that has never been revealed, like hidden sadness, which makes people cherish her.
Shi Yun stood up, put on her charming and charming smile, stretched her slender white hands forward, and invited him, "I'll take you somewhere."
…
After her performance, she stood back on the center of the stage and bowed politely again.
Wang Yang looked at her information and commented lightly, "The lines in the middle are too stiff, and the pretense of relaxed emotions is not expressed properly, and it is too trailing at the end. If this is filmed and broadcast, it will be embarrassing for you and the audience."
Shi Yun did not defend herself. She bowed again and said, neither humble nor arrogant, "I will continue to work hard."
Wang Yang said nothing.
The producer next to him smiled at Shi Yun and said, "We will notify you if there is any news."
The quality of actors nowadays is worrying. It is not easy to prepare in three minutes and complete the entire script. Shi Yun is not an audition heroine in the first place, which means that she still needs to carefully study the original work.
She could guess what Wang Yang wanted to do. This actor looked like the heroine in the original work. She had a slender figure, a delicate face, and agility in her body. She had youthful vigor and purity, which was a rare temperament.
Shi Yun didn't bother: "Thank you, teachers."
As soon as she left, the assistant director looked at Wang Yang and wanted to agree with him, so he praised, "She did a pretty good job. Although she can't play the role of Zhang Yan, I think the role of Lin Juejue can be given to her."
Wang Yang did not answer the call and looked at the assistant aside, "I will notify her to come for the second round of interviews on the 8th."
The assistant nodded and marked the information.
Before Wang Yang finished speaking, he paused and added, "Tell her that the person auditioning is the female lead."
As soon as the words came out, everyone present was stunned, and they all saw surprise and surprise in each other's eyes.
Crazy? Is this to compete with the sponsor
Wang Yang closed the document, stood up, straightened his back unconsciously, and raised his voice, "From now on, I will reschedule the auditions. All roles, without exception, will be auditioned. There are no designated clips. All will be drawn by lottery." way.”
"There are no specific requirements for auditions, and they are open to all major universities."
"A good work must be interpreted by excellent actors to meet the audience's expectations. The selection of actors must be the most stringent, especially for the protagonist."
…
After Wang Yang finished speaking, he raised his feet and left. The remaining people looked at each other in confusion.
The assistant director had just accepted Meng Shiqing's commission to fill in the role. He also had a goddaughter waiting to be picked up, and he didn't know what Wang Yang had done. He hurriedly sent a message to Meng Shiqing.
When Xu Chuchu saw Shi Yun coming out, she quickly went to greet him, "What did Director Wang say?"
Shi Yun shook his head.
Seeing this, Xu Chuchu's smile slowly faded, and he comforted her, "It doesn't matter. Sister Chu Chu still has a lot of scripts for auditions, and we have plenty of opportunities. That producer Chen contacted me last time, and that one... "
Shi Yun was comforted. When she asked what the script was, Xu Chuchu showed it to her, and she shrugged again.
A guest appearance as a brothel girl in a costume drama, a KTV lady in an online drama, a clothing store clerk with only a few scenes in an urban drama, a basketball team cheerleader in a youth drama...
Xu Chuchu felt her loss and drove forward, "There is no way, the entertainment industry is like this. We have no backstage, and we don't follow evil ways. If we want to get ahead, we have to endure."
Shi Yun is so beautiful, delicate and pure. If she had other ideas, she would get the role immediately, but she would not do such things.
Shi Yun was not in a hurry: "Well, take your time."
As soon as she finished speaking, she received another text message from Ji Huai on her phone. The other person asked her how her audition went. Although she was embarrassed, she couldn't help but tell him, "I'm so sad that people didn't like me."
Wang Yang criticized it, but didn’t he just ignore it
Ji Huai looked at the message she sent, and at the end there was a crying little white bear.
Before he replied, she sent another message: Come on, comfort me! ! !
Shi Yun looked at the display on Ji Huai's end that was typing, and then received a message from him: comfort you.
She posted another picture. A rabbit was hiding in the corner and crying crazily. From time to time, it stretched out its hand to wipe the corners of its eyes, looking pitiful.
Ji Huai leaned lazily on the sofa, smiling at the corners of his eyes. Her figure appeared in his mind unconsciously, her black and white eyes staring straight at him, and her charming voice lingering, seductive.
Shi Yun didn't think about what message he would reply at all. It was good that he didn't laugh at her. She put the phone in her arms and listened to Xu Chuchu's speech.
Xu Chuchu was looking at the navigation: "I don't have any work in the afternoon, so let's go eat first. There is a Zhajiang Noodle restaurant nearby. It's delicious. I'll treat you to it. Their noodles are cheap and delicious."
Shi Yun: "Yeah."
Xu Chuchu: "Let me tell you..."
"Buzz buzz."
While Xu Chuchu was saying this, Shi Yun's cell phone suddenly vibrated. It was a message from Ji Huai. When she opened it and looked at it, she secretly blushed.
Ji Huai sent her an emoticon back. He was gently stroking the little white rabbit's head with one hand. He added: Be obedient and don't cry.
Xu Chuchu was talking to herself when her cell phone rang and she picked it up.
After a few seconds.
"Click -" a harsh sudden brake sound came.
Shi Yun was startled and leaned forward. Before she could recover, Xu Chuchu's eyes widened and her mouth opened wide. If she wasn't in the parking lot and was tied up by a seat belt, she wanted to rush towards Shi Yun.
Xu Chuchu's face was flushed with excitement and she wanted to scream. Seeing Shi Yun being so excited that she was incoherent, "You... you have entered the interview for the female lead!!! The crew called to inform the second person on the 8th. Is this true?" How did you get into the interview for the female lead? Oh my god—"
…
Gu family.
As soon as Gu Qingnan opened the door and walked in, her cell phone rang.
He took it out and looked at it, with a headache on his face. He pointed to the person sitting on the sofa helplessly, picked up the phone, raised a smile and said hello, "Shiqing, what's wrong?"
The other end kept talking, with a cynical smile on his face and a careless look, "Is there such a thing? It may be an internal decision of the company. This matter is caused by many factors. I am also busy with game development recently. Let me ask you first."
"Okay, okay, I'll call you when I'll take care of it." Gu Qingnan agreed and said a few nice words. After hanging up the phone, he sat on the sofa and raised his feet, "What's going on? You want to do it again?" Introduce yourself?"
Suddenly he called him and said that he would invest 30 million in the TV series directed by Wang Yang, but there were rules for casting.
"I invested money, but I always have to ensure the quality of the actors. Is there a problem with fair competition?" Ji Huai asked calmly.
"It's no problem." Gu Qingnan clasped his hands on his knees, leaned back and looked at him seriously, "Is the matter not over yet? How about we deal with him?"
The default heroine of this drama is Meng Shiqing, and the default male lead is Duan Jingyan, both of which were decided by major investors. He was a capitalist, and the two of them had a good relationship. Meng Shiqing spoke again. They had grown up together, so they just went with the flow and didn't take it seriously.
There was no movement on Ji Huai's side for a long time, and he thought it was over.
If you really want to embarrass Duan Jingyan, it will be easy. Even if Meng Shiqing is not easy to deal with, it will be more embarrassing if the Meng family comes forward. When the engagement was broken off, both parties maintained their face and cooperated with each other on interests, so a falling out would outweigh the gains.
"It's passed." Ji Huai's expression did not change.
"It's really over?" Gu Qingnan didn't believe it, "I'll call Wang Yang and kick him out."
"No need. Whoever has the ability can act. There is no need to interfere with Wang Yang. He only needs to be able to make money back." Ji Huai stood up, put one hand in his pocket, his face was as calm as water, and glanced at the table, "Your office tea is a bit It tastes bad, please change it next time.”
Gu Qingnan: "..."
He was really unpredictable this time around Ji Huai, but Meng Shiqing went too far this time. It was impossible for the two of them to get back together, and the Ji family couldn't afford to lose face.
It's best for Ji Huai to deny it, he must take it seriously.
After waiting for a while, he called Meng Shiqing back, with a smile on his face and an apology in his voice. At the end of the sentence, he was very embarrassed and said, "There is really no other way. I have no choice but to not interfere. I can only do what they asked for."
After all, it just doesn't work. Meng Shiqing can act coquettishly with the Meng family and with Ji Huai, but Gu Qingnan and her are just kidding. With a production worth hundreds of millions, it's really not something she can just play with like a coquettish person.
Meng Shiqing hung up the phone and threw the phone aside with a sullen face.
"Didn't we agree? The contract was about to be signed, and suddenly it changed." The agent was also confused and kept telling her, "You must win the drama "Youth to the Light", good scripts can be found You can’t ask for it, this novel has its own reputation, you need to make a transformation, make steady progress, and it is very likely to win the trophy.”
"Don't I want to?" Meng Shiqing said with an annoyed look on her face.
The agent shut up and continued to worry.
Duan Jingyan was also notified, and her manager called to ask about Meng Shiqing. Her expression softened, "Mr. Chen promised me that the male lead was Jing Yan, so it must be Jing Yan. I'll ask again."
She had promised Duan Jingyan, and this drama was so sweet. Once they participated in the show, they would definitely be a national couple, and others would envy them. Thinking about it, she felt that she had to win it.
The agent looked at her boasting, and logically it should be fine, but he still felt a little uneasy.
The other end.
Manager Zhang Hai also came to Duan Jingyan and said in a displeased tone, "I don't know who spread the rumor, but you are already determined to be the leading actor. Why are you auditioning now?"
Duan Jingyan sat aside slowly, Qing Juan's face was expressionless and he didn't reply. He looks gentle, but actually he doesn't care.
When Meng Shiqing got the role, he just had to accept it. As for how he got it, he didn't care.
"I heard that it was Wang Yang who did it. Who is he? Miss Meng has already spoken out. Doesn't she have any brains? If she does this, she might cause unnecessary trouble to you." Zhang Hai felt that this character It must be Duan Jingyan's, Wang Yang is just causing trouble for them.
"Don't take it seriously." Duan Jingyan looked at the explanation message sent by Meng Shiqing, lowered his head and replied, not taking it to heart. In this role, he was more confident than Zhang Hai.
In this circle, isn’t it all about relationships? He had already taken down Meng Shiqing, so what else was there to do
He never expected that Meng Shiqing would go to Meng Xi, the heir of the Meng family, but there was still no news and no result.
This will be the most popular youth drama next year. If you really can't choose this, you will really miss a good opportunity.
Duan Jingyan's mood was not stable, and he became increasingly impatient. He inquired about Meng Shiqing many times overtly or covertly, but she kept holding off. Zhang Hai couldn't help but inquire, but the crew said, "The first round of interviews for the protagonist has ended, and the second round will be held in a few days. It seems that the other actors are not eligible to participate again."
They were dumbfounded.
Shi Yun has been thinking about the script for the past few days, wishing he could memorize the entire text, even the punctuation marks, and the blank spaces of the script are filled with notes.
Ji Huai walked to the living room and saw that she was reciting her lines again. He picked up the novel on the table and turned a few pages, then looked at her with a chuckle.
"What are you laughing at?" she asked.
"The heroine must be you. Aren't you acting in your true colors?" he replied with a smile.
Her current temperament is lively, cheerful, smart and pretty, which is exactly what she wants.
Shi Yun turned her head to the side, glared at him, raised her feet, pressed them sideways on his legs, and moved, "I told you to say it again, but don't say it!"
She thought he was talking about falling in love again. The story is about a young girl who fell in love with the school sweetheart, boldly pursued love, changed from a scumbag, and worked hard to get into a prestigious school for the person she liked. In the end, her dream came true and she became an outstanding student. Fashion designer.
Sweet Dog is sweet to the end and has everything, and he does look a lot like her.
"Look, you're still very domineering, just keep this momentum." Ji Huai looked at the slender and smooth legs she placed on his lap, covered them with his hands, and smiled at the corner of his mouth.
"Does that mean I'm overbearing?" She glanced at the script on the table and recalled the scene of the male and female protagonists living together after getting together. She suddenly stood up and spread her legs astride Ji Huai's lap. "That's what I call overbearing!"
Ji Huai's body froze, his hands on the side shrank, and he said dumbly, "Get down."
Shi Yun pouted, "You are not as sweet as other male protagonists. Come and play with me."
"..." He was forced to look at her again, his Adam's apple couldn't help but move up and down, and a ball of fire arose.
"Look." She turned the page of the novel and showed it to him.
Ji Huai glanced a few times and saw that his head was covered with black lines.
"Don't you like me enough? There is no pampering in your eyes. I can see disdain. You just sneered. You are laughing at me." She kept accusing.
The male protagonist would put his arms around the female protagonist's slender waist, call her "baby" gently, protect her and stop her from falling, and her boyfriend would just let her go down.
Ji Huai looked at her again, with unclear meaning in his deep eyes. He kept looking at her without moving.
Shi Yun hooked her hands around his neck and leaned towards his head again, looking at him with her bright black eyes, her pink lips slightly parted, "Am I also very shameless? The male protagonist didn't like her very much at first. This is probably the most similar thing between me and the heroine."
He lowered his eyes, with a look of helplessness on his face, put his hands around her waist, hugged her into his arms, put his big hands on her back, lowered his head, covered her ears with his thin lips, and said in a low and hoarse voice, "Do you know this is What posture? Do you overestimate my self-control or underestimate your own charm? Should I say you are bold or naive?"
"Whether you like it or not is important at the beginning? But later on, wouldn't it cost you your life?"
…
