After the audition will be over.
"Looking at it, I think Mei Zihan is the best." The screenwriter couldn't help but said, "He doesn't steal the show, but he has a strong sense of presence, and his appearance is more heroic. In the early stage, he can soften it a little with makeup and lighting , when you transform into the leader of the Demon Cult in the later stage, this look is the opposite and better."
On the whole, Mei Zihan's quality is definitely the best.
"In terms of appearance, Jiang Bietian is better. He is currently on the rise, and his popularity is very high." The director looked at Jiang Bietian's makeup photos and was a little bit reluctant.
Jiang Bietian's comprehensive level is naturally not as good as Mei Zihan's, but his advantages are also very high. His fans alone are a lot of money.
Shen Wan is naturally good at everything, she has a good relationship with one of the actors, so her vote is naturally for this friend of hers.
"Is our crew not as popular as this?" The producer interjected with a smile, "With Qu and Chen here, there is no need to worry about popularity." After all, Qu and Chen are the most popular niches right now.
"Brother Zhang has won the prize." Qu Hechen said shyly.
He would not be willing to choose Jiang Bietian. As the current top 1 student, Qu Hechen has a group of black people who have been persistently blackmailing him all year round, and Jiang Bietian's handwriting is among them. Back when Jiang Bietian was working with him on the same production team, he had been dragging him into hype, and Qu Hechen didn't step on it because he was already open-minded.
"Since there is no way to choose, let's vote."
The producer said, "By secret ballot, the minority obeys the majority."
Xinghai Entertainment also has a few staff members here, just to help count the votes.
All eight of them wrote down their favorite candidates for Xiaoyaosheng.
In the end, when the results came out, Mei Zihan got four votes, Jiang Bietian got two votes, and the remaining two votes were for each actor.
Obviously, everyone liked Mei Zihan's performance even more.
"It seems that everyone still likes Mei Zihan more." The producer was also quite satisfied, and he also filled in Mei Zihan's name. Although Jiang Bietian's appearance is better and his popularity is higher, but in a drama, there must always be one or two fresh faces.
Mei Zihan has never acted in a costume drama, which is also a selling point. Although the audience of "Blood Pool Picture" is aimed at young people, if Mei Zihan's existence can make those mothers also pick up the remote control, they will be very happy.
"Okay, then I'll call Mei Zihan's manager." The screenwriter also filled in Mei Zihan, and he found Liu Tianyi's phone number, ready to announce the good news.
Once the candidate for Xiaoyaosheng is decided, the other supporting roles will be convenient.
"Wait a minute, I'll answer the phone first." Xinghai Entertainment's marketing manager suddenly stopped the scriptwriter.
"... Yes, our results have come out... It's not Jiang Bietian, we voted that Mei Zihan is more suitable for this role... What? Must it be changed, but... well, I understand."
The manager of the marketing department didn't avoid people when he called. Several people on the field heard what the manager said, and they already had a little guess in their hearts.
"Sorry." The manager of the marketing department smiled wryly, "The person who called just now is a major shareholder of Xinghai Entertainment, and he said that the role of Xiaoyaosheng must be played by Jiang Bietian."
"Why didn't you say it until now?" Although Xinghai Entertainment was the largest investor, the other two investors were also very upset.
Everyone turns a blind eye to the unspoken rules in the entertainment industry. You have a background, a background, and resources. OK, it doesn’t matter. As long as you manage it well, this role can be given to you.
But the unspoken rules also have a certain bottom line.
Either you just say in advance that they don't need to spend so much effort to invite people to come. The actors who came to compete for Xiaoyaosheng this time are not small stars. If the news leaks and they know that they are only here to accompany the prince to study, who will be willing to push back the schedule and come to block the green leaves
Situations like Jiang Bietian's are rare. Others robbing roles are all in an open and honest way with money into the team. How can so many people slip away like this and finally come to make up for it in a hurry
Why didn't you say it before the audition, and now that the candidates for Xiaoyaosheng are almost in place, you just call to say it? What if the call came a little later and they had already called Mei Zihan
"I don't understand either." The manager of the marketing department also looked depressed, "This major shareholder rarely interferes with the company's affairs, but he has a high status in our company, and our general manager dare not offend him. Sorry, today I Invite everyone to dinner, this role is still... "
"I remember when I sold the copyright to you, you said that I could participate in the selection of actors and roles." Chunqiusheng frowned aside, "Sorry, I don't like Jiang Bietian. Feeling very uncomfortable."
It's not that Chun Qiusheng is ignorant of the rules in the entertainment industry, but this way of doing it clearly ignores the eight of them. If they had said from the beginning that this role was decided by Jiang Bietian, they wouldn't have said anything.
"Sorry, sorry." The marketing manager glanced at the head of the marketing department, and the two of them could only curse Jiang Bietian secretly while apologizing to everyone.
"Ahem, forget it, in fact Jiang Bietian is not bad." The director voted for Jiang Bietian, and now Xinghai Entertainment is the general investor of this show, so he naturally needs to come out to smooth things over.
"How about this, we still have a male third, how about giving it to Mei Zihan?" The head of the marketing department suggested a step back, "After all, she also came to audition."
"Forget it." Of course Chun Qiusheng knows what kind of character this male third is, "This doesn't match Mei Zihan at all. Forget it, I just came here for a cutscene in this drama, I'm going home , you decide for yourself."
After finishing speaking, Chun Qiusheng turned his head and left without hesitation.
It wasn't that Mei Zihan was his only choice, but such an approach really made him feel sick. In the past, before he became famous, he was robbed of several awards by others for similar reasons. He had to wait for so many years to get the chance, and this happened again
Literati are more or less arrogant, Chun Qiusheng is unwilling to look at the faces of these people, so he can only keep out of sight.
Qu Hechen and Shen Wan didn't speak, they had experienced many such things before, either they robbed others or others robbed them, it was already commonplace.
It can only be said that Mei Zihan was unlucky.
"How is it?" Jiang Bietian was waiting in the villa, seeing his manager answering several calls, he couldn't help asking anxiously.
"This role is yours now." The agent laughed and said with lingering fear, "Mei Zihan was almost cast for this role. Fortunately, we acted quickly."
Jiang Bietian heaved a sigh of relief, "I didn't expect that Mei Zihan would come out."
According to Jiang Bietian's original idea, he could get this role by relying on his own strength, and it would be best if he could get the role by himself without asking others, but before he left, he heard several staff members praise Mei Zihan, He just had a sense of crisis.
He called his benefactor.
If the role was originally decided to be him, of course everyone is happy, but if it is not him, the role can be snatched by external forces.
Being in the entertainment circle doesn't mean that good acting skills can be unimpeded.
As long as it is not too different, external factors can affect the selection of a role.
Jiang Bietian grasped this time, he knew that "Blood Pond Picture" would definitely become popular.
————————
Liu Tianyi's friends were obviously also very angry.
What Jiang Bietian played was simply playing everyone as fools.
Co-authoring them for so many days to go around begging grandpa to tell grandma, the audition meeting was tossed out just to play house with you? They are also very busy!
When talking to Liu Tianyi, the two staff members couldn't help complaining a few more words, "This matter can't be hidden, now everyone has to call other actors who auditioned to apologize, otherwise there will be trouble Who else will come to our Xinghai Entertainment audition in the future?"
Liu Tianyi was also not in a good mood, so he hung up the phone after a few perfunctory words to his friend.
He looked at Mei Zihan beside him, and felt that it was extremely difficult for him to tell the news.
"It's because Jiang Bietian's background is relatively hard. The candidate has already been decided to be you, but it was changed." Liu Tianyi couldn't think of any consoling words to persuade Mei Zihan, "This is very common in the entertainment industry. You Just treat it as if you lost the audition.”
Not to mention not signing the contract, even if the contract is signed, there will be changes midway. This may be the first time Mei Zihan has encountered such a situation, and it will be fine if he sees it more in the future.
"I know I didn't lose the audition." Mei Zihan was a little frustrated, and he wasn't really that heartless, "You and Jiang Ying paid a lot for this role, but they were replaced by a phone call." .”
He didn't talk about it himself, Jiang Ying helped him polish the scenes a little bit, played against him, read the novel over and over again, and read the readers' comments, etc., almost doubled.
In order to get this audition opportunity, Liu Tianyi made countless phone calls. During Mei Zihan's training, he would go out to treat people to dinner, and sometimes he would come back smelling of alcohol.
Mei Zihan could see their efforts, so he was even more unwilling.
If I am not good enough myself, I have nothing to say, but it is only a little bit close, and I have prepared for so long but failed for such a reason, how can I have no lumps at all
When she got home, Mei Zihan couldn't hold back and rushed up to hug Jiang Ying tightly.
He felt that he needed to calm down.
"It doesn't matter, there will be better roles waiting for you." Jiang Ying is not very good at comforting people, Liu Tianyi gave Jiang Ying a few winks and left very sensible.
Mei Zihan should save it for Jiang Ying to comfort him. When he comes over tomorrow, Mei Zihan will be that heartless guy again.
"I just feel that your efforts are all in vain." Mei Zihan was depressed, "After preparing for so long, we can use it to shoot other scenes, and we can finish dozens of scenes."
"This kind of thing happens all the time, whether it's at home or abroad." Jiang Ying's voice was very calm, and he spoke very convincingly, "Many celebrities will try their best to show up at various banquets. All kinds of red carpets are just to get to know more investors and producers. They may not be able to give them roles, but as long as they don't hinder them, or reveal a little information in advance, it is very worthwhile. "
The entertainment industry is a cruel and realistic place.
Some people joined the crew and finished filming all the scenes, and when it was finally broadcast, it was found that only a few scenes were cut, and some people's scenes were all discarded.
It even happened that a year or so of special training for a certain role ended up being dropped by the crew.
There are so many kinds.
Mei Zihan had never encountered such a thing before, because no one would rob him of the things he photographed. But it's different now, Mei Zihan now has to get used to such things. Because it won't be the last time.
"I understand, I understand."
It's one thing to understand, but quite another to not mind.
Mei Zihan can say with certainty that even the actors who knew that the audition was out of the question would turn over the table angrily when they found out that Jiang Bietian was on the job temporarily.
"We can start preparing for the online drama that Liu Tianyi told you about before. But today, you are allowed to relax overnight. I'll make it for you if you want to eat." Jiang Ying patted Mei Zihan on the shoulder and said.
"Really?" Mei Zihan's depressed mood dropped a lot, "Meat, I just want to eat meat, braised pig's trotters, beef and mutton, grilled lamb chops!"
"...you will have diarrhea if you eat such a greasy food all at once." Jiang Ying couldn't laugh or cry, "You may feel better if you drink some soup beforehand."
Mei Zihan just wanted to refuse, how many pig's trotters can he eat in his stomach after drinking the soup? But after thinking about it, Mei Zihan still agreed.
Some can be eaten.
"Hi, hello, are you Mr. Liu Tianyi, Mei Zihan's manager?" A call came to Liu Tianyi.
"Yes, what is your name?" Liu Tianyi's caller ID did not have this person's number.
"I'm Chun Qiusheng, the author of "Blood Pool Picture." Chun Qiusheng smiled while holding a contract, "After I came out of the audition venue, I went to negotiate a contract with Sunshine Films. The film copyright of "Blood Pool Picture" was sold."
He had been thinking about this matter before, but he hadn't made up his mind, and thanks to Jiang Bietian, he held his breath and planned to take some revenge.
Liu Tianyi felt his breathing lighten, "What do you mean?"
"I'm a bit of a stickler. I really appreciate Mr. Mei Zihan's interpretation of Xiaoyaosheng. When I signed the contract with Sunshine Films, I made a small request, that is, I hope they can The candidate for Xiaoyaosheng is left to me to decide, and they plan to consider it too. Could you trouble me to bring Mr. Mei Zihan to audition for the role of Xiaoyaosheng in the movie?"
