Shen Wei once again took his eyes away from the audition room, and as time passed, his heart, which had rarely calmed down, began to agitate again.
How long does the audition take
It had been half an hour, and it had already exceeded his estimated time.
If it's just a cutscene, or if Roman Reigns is not satisfied with Fang Zhao's performance, it doesn't take so long!
Is there any progress
The more Shen Wei thought about it, the more he couldn't sit still. He checked the time every two minutes, drank three cups of tea, got up and walked around for seven or eight laps. Not only was his mood not calm, but he became more restless.
With expectations, there are some unrealistic ideas that discard rationality.
Who doesn't want to think and look forward to a better direction for everything
Who wouldn't want better results
Roman can give Fang Zhao the opportunity to try out, and he must be optimistic about Fang Zhao.
A director who always likes to take risks with newcomers...
The more he thought about it, his heart beat faster, and Shen Wei's fingers on the teacup trembled.
Although it wasn't his own audition, if Fang Zhao could really get this role, the benefits he would get as an instructor would be very attractive.
calm down!
Shen Wei kept telling himself to calm down in his heart.
An hour passed.
Not only did Shen Wei's heartbeat not slow down, but instead it beat more and more intensely, clenching his fists tightly, otherwise his fingers would tremble with tension.
Unable to sit up, he walked a few laps in place, poured a few glasses of water, and went to the bathroom twice. Shen Wei kept telling himself to calm down, but when he finally saw the door open, Shen Wei, who had just sat down, froze. He bounced off the chair and took a few quick steps over there with his feet uncontrollably.
Fang Zhao, who came out of the audition room, didn't have any excitement on his face, but Shen Wei was so calm that Shen Wei's heart froze.
"How is it?" Shen Wei asked with difficulty.
He wanted to ask why it took so long, what was going on inside, and he wanted to ask too much, but in the end, only these three simple words came out.
"Go back and wait for the result." Fang recalled.
"What?"
Shen Wei wanted to ask something else, but soon realized that this place was not suitable. After leaving Roman's house, Shen Wei learned the details from Fang Zhao on the way back.
"The audition went well. This kind of important role is not something that Director Roman can decide. He asked me to go back and wait for the news." Fang Zhao explained.
"Oh, yes, also." Shen Wei has calmed down now and wants to understand.
Although I didn't hear the result I wanted to hear the most, I was a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, I didn't finalize it, that is, there was still a chance.
"How long will it take?" Shen Wei asked.
"Director Roman didn't say anything, but he said that things will definitely be settled within a week, and in two days he will go back to Huangzhou to finalize the actors for a few important roles with others." Fang Zhao said.
As Shen Wei said, Fang Zhao didn't worry about gains and losses, he had already done everything he could, and now he just had to wait for the results, even if the results were unsatisfactory, he would accept it. At least try hard, right
"By the way, why did you try for so long?" Shen Wei asked again.
"I tried three scenes at the beginning, and then Director Roman spent another hour explaining the scenes to me, and then asked for three more scenes." Speaking of this, Fang Zhao really thanked the great director, although the great director also had One's own selfishness, but the other party's call is equally beneficial.
"Director Roman will teach you a play in person?" Shen Wei was shocked.
"I also pointed out some performance skills in front of the camera." Fang Zhao said.
"Not bad! It seems that this great director is really optimistic about you being able to get this guidance." Shen Wei couldn't help but put on a satisfied smile on his face.
"Boss." Yan Biao in the front passenger seat said, "People have been staring at us these past few days. I found them when you went to the audition just now, but keep a certain distance, the other party is very cautious."
"The gang of people who curled up last time?" Fang Zhao asked.
After returning from the cruise ship, Fang Zhao learned from Yan Biao that the curls bit a sneaky person who was following them. But he didn't say anything, the other party fled quickly, and Yan Biao didn't catch anyone.
Later, Yan Biao and Zuo Yu also asked Fang Zhao if he wanted to arrest people, and Fang Zhao signaled them to ignore it.
"should be."
In Yan Biao's opinion, to deal with these stalkers, they should be caught and beaten to death!
But obviously, Yan Biao didn't understand the dedication of these entertainment reporters to dig up news.
Shen Wei also disapproves of Yan Biao's handling. He has seen too many, and in his opinion, the most important thing right now is not to deal with these entertainment reporters. The company's public relations team is not a decoration, just let the people from the company watch it. When there is bad news, it will be suppressed. At such times, the company is very happy to spend more money.
"Fang Zhao, don't worry about other things now, read more books on performance, online video tutorials, and some online courses, ask me if you don't understand, and get ready!" Shen Wei advised.
It's not very hopeful, but... What if
What if he was chosen
As a novice, a pure rookie who can't even be called an actor, all Fang Zhao needs to do is to work hard on his acting skills and always prepare to join the crew. Brush down, if that is the case, there is no place to cry!
"The entertainment records can't be finished, the more they fight, the harder they will follow!" Shen Wei said to Yan Biao, "Let's not talk about other continents, let's just let us Yanzhou, the top-ranked entertainment journalists, in the circle. How many people want to throw them into the sea to feed the fish, but they are still alive and well, jumping all day long!"
Shen Wei felt that as a senior in the circle, he had a heavy responsibility. He took a class with Fang Zhao when he got the chance. Even Yan Biao and Zuo Yu, who were bodyguards, could not avoid it. The difference was that he taught Fang Zhao professional knowledge. , while Zuo Yu and Yan Biao were taught how to deal with troubles in the circle.
Fang Zhao also seriously absorbed the skills of Professor Shen Wei, and opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. As Shen Wei said, before getting the result of being brushed down, you have to be ready to enter the crew at all times.
On the other side, Director Roman was talking to Huangzhou's colleagues and talking about Fang Zhao, but he didn't directly specify which actor or background he was, just said that he was a very talented person who was very suitable for a role.
"You don't understand. When he stood in front of me, he gave me a very strange feeling. At that time, it coincided with the role in my mind!"
"Stop making excuses, are you trying to do something big again? Roman, I warn you, the "Genesis" project is to be regarded as a milestone, a milestone! Do you know what it means?! How many people do you know? Follow this project, understand its importance, and follow the rules!"
Through the communicator, Roman can feel the excitement of the other party's spittle.
"I know, you are just worrying!" Roman said impatiently.
"You think I want to say this? Roman, you have a criminal record! I don't worry about this sentence! Remember, let's be honest this time, follow the rules of the circle, don't make trouble, this project is not yours. , there is still a group of 100 people above, none of them are easy to deal with, don't get into trouble, otherwise your position as the chief director may not be stable."
"Okay, I still don't understand this? Not much nonsense, the preparatory work is almost done, and the actors must be finalized as soon as possible. I will leave early tomorrow, see you in Huangzhou."
Disconnecting the communication, Roman pouted.
By the rules
whose rules
Internal rules
There is no express rule, it's a bullshit rule!
Roman is going to give those people another surprise this time. He is really satisfied with Fang Zhao's performance, and even the "Fang Zhao" that Fang Zhao interprets is exactly the same as the "Fang Zhao" in his heart!
So agreeable!
So much so that Roman is willing to take this risk and challenge the so-called "rules" in the circle again!
"Fight up!"
Roman knows how to teach a layman into a seemingly mature actor in a short period of time. Fortunately, Fang Zhao is extremely talented and has strong comprehension. Although one hour is short, the key points of knowledge he said are unexpected. Got it all!
This feeling of unintentionally digging out treasures from the fog is Roman's favorite. Whenever this happens, he feels very great and very satisfied.
The last three scenes arranged for Fang Zhao are different from the three scenes in the previous interview. If they are shown to outsiders, they may not be able to see the difference, but in the eyes of professionals, it is a big improvement, and the details are difficult to find. error.
If you put it in Roman's own movie, it's a direct decision, but this is "Genesis"...
"The Hundred People..." The calm Roman looked at the projection and sighed helplessly, "Fang Zhao, I can only help here."
The next day, Roman took his assistant to Huangzhou.
Relevant personnel are notified in advance in place, and then the specific meeting time is finalized.
Hall of Huangzhou Art and Culture Center.
This place is not big. Compared with many commercial venues, it is much "shabby", and the furnishings look simple, but it is definitely not simple!
Here, projection, audio equipment, etc. are all top-notch in the industry.
There are not many seats, but everyone who is qualified to sit in the venue is either in a high position or has impressive qualifications, and is a very important person.
Roman looked at the time, it was almost time.
Several projections appeared in the venue one after another, and the originally empty venue was filled with projections in less than ten minutes. The front and middle part of the venue is separated from other venues. The seats are wider and have their own space. There are more than 100 seats in that one. With the appearance of the projection, it is now almost full.
"Everyone in the Hundred People Group is here, let's start now."
The group of 100 that Roman was talking about was the people in the project "Genesis" who had the right to vote for the actors who played important roles in the play. These people, in addition to investors and representatives of the producers, were either excellent seniors in the entertainment industry. , or have blood relations with these important characters, that is, the direct descendants of those heroes in the era of extinction, or the outstanding ones among the descendants.
There are a total of 100 of these people, also referred to as the "Hundred People Group", and they are located in the special area closest to the stage.
Everyone in the "Hundred People Group" is distributed all over the place, and there are even people who have stayed on the outer planet for a long time due to their positions. It is impossible for them to come back to Huangzhou for such a thing. Therefore, this is an online voting meeting, realized through holographic projection.
If nothing else, just look at those people in military uniforms and the generals on their shoulders to know how much weight they have.
Roman's assistant glanced at the Hundred People's Regiment. Except for the seniors in the circle who made his legs weak, among the group of people in military uniforms, the ones with the lowest rank were all lieutenant colonels, who still looked very young. Later rise will be sure.
Although as Director Roman's assistant, this is not the first time he has seen this kind of situation, but every time he faces it, he will still be cautious with the atmosphere that he does not dare to go out. Look at the six directions and listen to all directions, and try not to make mistakes.
"We need to determine three important roles today, one is 'General Wuyan', the other is 'General Ajina', and the other... is 'Fang Zhao'. Let's choose 'Fang Zhao' first."
Although "Fang Zhao" was not among the generals in Genesis, he was a pivotal figure in that period of history. Without him, there would be no later Yanzhou, and even Wuyan might not have survived. The history of this person "Fang Zhao" No one can deny his status, so although he is not a general, he is also a very important role in the play, and the choice of actors also needs to be decided by the 100-member group.
On the big screen in front, Roman released the makeup test photos of the nine candidates selected.
The nine candidates are all photos after makeup. Several of them look very similar to the "Fang Zhao" in history. There are always similarities in facial features. After makeup, it is not easy to tell them apart at first glance.
The nine people appearing on the screen are not marked with the names of the nine actors, only the numbers from 1 to 9, which are completely random.
However, people who are very familiar with a certain actor can still recognize it.
"These are the nine people I finally selected." Roman said to the 100-member group in the audience, "Same as last time, starting from No. 1, I released the audition videos of the nine candidates, each with three plays, and finally The result of the vote is the determined actor."
