The last time Ming Yu saw the name "Xu Yizong" was three or four months ago. At that time, as the Chinese spokesperson of "Nedland" smoke perfume, he took over the shooting of four film and television commercials and spent nearly a week with Director Xu.
After finishing the meal at that time, Ming Xiaoyu also thought: It is estimated that he will never cooperate with Director Xu in this life.
Yes, during the seven days of getting along, Ming Xiaoyu learned from Director Xu that the reason why he accepted these four advertisements was not because of the generous remuneration promised by "Nedland", but because he owed " Nedland" Favor of an Executive. Of course, Director Xu said that this small amount of lucrative remuneration is also to be collected. Xu Yizong is one of the most well-known commercial directors in China. Basically, the box office of the films he shoots is destined to exceed 1 billion, or even 2 billion. There are as many as seven films, and the highest one directly broke 5 billion, causing a sensation in the world.
It is generally impossible for such a world-renowned commercial director to take on the advertisements of first-line brands. As for the advertisements of top luxury brands, they basically have their own directors who have worked together for many years, and will not invite new directors to shoot.
Under such circumstances, Ming Xiaoyu never thought that he had the acting skills to participate in a large-scale movie, nor did he think that he would have the opportunity to cooperate with Xu Yizong after he endorsed a top luxury brand in the future.
However, the world is so ingenious. Now Director Xu's assistant personally came to send him an invitation letter, asking him to attend the audition for the new movie that Director Xu is going to shoot this year.
When seeing this assistant, Ming Yu looked down at the brand-new invitation letter in his hand, hesitated for a long time, and said nothing.
On the other hand, Zhao Rui frowned and asked, "Mr. Wu, are you sure that Director Xu really didn't find the wrong person? Xiao Yu did shoot a few commercials and a MV, but he didn't shoot a movie or even a MV at all. With experience in TV dramas, Director Xu really gave him hope that he would audition?"
Director Xu's assistant, Xiao Wu, smiled honestly and nodded seriously: "Yes, before I came, Director Xu told me with thousands of instructions that I hope Mr. Ming must go to the audition the day after tomorrow. He also said that if Mr. Ming has anything If you have any questions, you can contact him directly, you have exchanged contact information before."
With that said, there's nothing to be confused about anymore.
After Luo Ru was busy with the contact affairs with the public relations department of Muse, she just returned to the lounge, and she felt that the atmosphere seemed a little wrong. Zhao Rui's words, it is very normal that he is not normal (?), but this time, even Ming Xiaoyu looked down at a document seriously, her brows knitted tightly.
Luo Ru carefully examined it for a while before asking tentatively, "Could it be that something major happened?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Rui immediately nodded and said cracklingly, "Yes, Xiao Luo, you were not there just now, you didn't know that Director Xu's assistant came to our company in person and sent Xiao Yu an invitation. letter..."
Zhao Rui spoke so fast that Luo Ru was stunned when she heard it. After Zhao Rui finally stopped talking, Luo Ru turned to look at the boy sitting opposite. I saw that behind the young man, a beam of warm and splendid sunlight shone straight on, illuminating his fair skin clear and clean, with a tranquil temperament, quiet and beautiful.
Ming Yu smiled and raised the corners of his lips, and asked calmly, "Sister Luo, have you heard of "An Li"?"
Luo Ru: “… (/= ＿ =)/～┴┴”
What the hell is Amway!
No appointment, no appointment with us! ! !
When Ming Xiaoyu explained it a little and translated "Director Xu" from Zhao Rui's mouth to "Director Xu Yizong", Luo Ru was instantly sober and suddenly realized: "Xiaoyu, so you said that CX Entertainment spent this year. The movie with huge investment, "An Li"?!"
Several major entertainment companies in China, in addition to cultivating artists, invest in various movies and TV series every year, and it has become the norm. For example, CX Entertainment, the leading entertainment company in China, spent 1 billion this year to shoot such a large-scale costume movie—
"An Li".
Luo Ru naturally doesn't know the plot of "An Li". The film is still being cast, and it hasn't even started. As a person in the fashion industry, Luo Ru can know that "Xu Yizong is the director of "An Li", ""An Li" was invested and filmed by CX Entertainment", these two things have gone beyond her own work.
But what surprised Ming Yu even more was that after listening to Director Xu's invitation to him, Luo Ru said bluntly: "Although we are still casting roles, the male and female protagonists of "An Li" are the second male and female lead. The two have already been decided by default. The male lead is this year's new actor Fang Liangxiu, and the female lead is the third-prize actress Xiao Biqing. The second male and second female are considered to have a relationship. I think this time, Director Xu asked Xiao Yu to go. The role that I auditioned for may just be a supporting role with a small role."
Hearing this, Ming Yu did not directly care about his own problems, but asked, "Sister Luo, how do you know so much about "An Li"?"
Luo Ru was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, and after a while, she smiled and said: "No, I just went to the PR department and the deputy director Linda to report to work, and she is a loyal fan of Fang Liangxiu, and the relationship between the two of us is still good. , she told me the gossip in this circle."
Hearing this, Ming Yu's eyes flashed and he asked, "Sister Luo, do you know what kind of story the movie "An Li" tells?"
Luo Ru shook his head regretfully: "Of course the content of the movie is kept very well kept secret, I don't know."
This answer was also expected by Ming Yu, so when he returned that night, he did not immediately start preparing for the audition, but made a trans-ocean call directly to France.
Unexpectedly, what surprised Ming Xiaoyu was that even Xi Ze knew nothing about "An Li" this time and could not provide him with any help. But at the end of the phone call, Xi Ze asked him in a low voice, "Do you need to find Chen Xiang to inquire about the relationship?" But Ming Xiaoyu sternly refused.
"I think I already know what to do."
After hanging up, Ming Xiaoyu found Xu Dao's contact information. Director Xu did a very straightforward job, but within three minutes, he sent Ming Xiaoyu a plot outline and told him: "The audition the day after tomorrow, although it is an audition, is actually just for you alone. Ming Yu, If you pass this role, that's you; if you don't pass, then we'll remove him from the script."
Ming Yu was stunned by these words, and then he immediately asked, "Director Xu, is this a character specially designed for me?"
Don't blame Ming Xiaoyu for being narcissistic, let you hear Director Xu's words, say you misunderstood and don't misunderstand!
Upon hearing this, Director Xu suddenly laughed a few times, and then said: "Ming Xiaoyu, Ming Xiaoyu, when I was working with you before, why didn't I see that you are such a narcissist? Don't worry. , no one will give you a back door, and CX Entertainment really seems to want to take the opportunity to repay your favor, but my Xu Yizong movie is not open to the extent of opening the back door specifically for someone to set up a new character."
Hearing this, Ming Yu was even more confused. He organized the language and asked, "Then Director Xu, you just said that if I don't pass, this role will be deleted. What does this mean?"
The voice fell, and the laughter on the phone gradually ceased. After a while, Xu Yizong said solemnly: "Because in the entire entertainment and fashion circles, only your image is likely to match this role."
For the next whole day, Ming Yu watched the plot outline that Director Xu gave him and the audition script sent by assistant Xiao Wu for a long time.
Looking at it, he finally understood why Director Xu said so calmly, "We can delete this role", and why he said "This role is only suitable for you".
Yes, in the end, what Director Xu said is also: You have the possibility of this fit.
Even the simile that he gave the only hope is only the possibility of fitting the character image, not the sure fit.
Because this character is portrayed too illusory in the whole movie. He is like a beautiful dream, elusive and elusive, even if you want to imagine an image in your mind, there is probably only a vague figure, and you can never imagine what he looks like.
This character is the first beauty in the worldview of "An Li".
The number of appearances is very small, and he appears as the enemy of the heroine, and there are not too many lines.
The absolute appearance makes this character a bright spot in the whole play, and its noble temperament, even the top screenwriter in the industry only uses the words "its brilliance is so bright that it is difficult for ordinary people to look directly at it". Describe, barely describe.
During the whole day, Ming Xiaoyu thoroughly understood the audition script, and even called Yuan Ge, Zhu Kejia and others he knew to ask about some experience in filmmaking. In the end, Zhu Kejia simply helped him connect, made a phone call with a movie queen, exchanged some experience, and owed a favor at the same time.
The night before the audition, Ming Yu fell asleep early to replenish his energy. The next day, Luo Ru came downstairs to his house early in the morning, the two looked at each other, Ming Xiaoyu smiled slightly, and then got into the car, which quickly drove towards the audition venue.
