Chapter 145 For a moment, I couldn’t tell whether it was punishment or reward (please vote for me!)
The audition location Liu Yun informed on the phone was in the business hall on the first floor of Heyue Hotel.
Following the hotel waiter's instructions and seeing that the time was almost two o'clock, Li Youzhi knocked on the door of the business hall.
As a call came from inside, he straightened his expression and opened the door.
In the business hall, a group of crew members were discussing this in front of a whiteboard filled with plans.
Seeing Li Youzhi enter, Liu Yun, standing among the crowd, smiled and waved.
"Director Lai, let me introduce to you. This is classmate Li Youzhi, who previously participated in the filming of "Kite"."
"oh oh……"
The director of "Secret and Great", Lai Pengbo, has just signed a contract with Qiang Sheng Film and Television. He won awards for his independent directing works before graduating from a prestigious school. He is only 32 years old and has a bright future in the directing industry.
When I first joined the company, I was quite polite when faced with a senior cast member like Liu Yun who had already been confirmed as an actor.
After looking at Li Youzhi's image, he picked up the script in his hand.
"Director Liu, which role do you think is more suitable for Mr. Li?"
Faced with Lai Pengbo's inquiry, Liu Yun was happy.
As an old man in the company, Liu Yun is naturally clear about the company's purpose of introducing a new director like Lai Pengbo.
In recent years, as the audience for film and television dramas has changed, traditional spy dramas have gradually shown signs of fatigue.
Take "Kite", which has just completed its first round of broadcasting, as an example. The audience's reputation is good but the ratings are actually not high.
The younger generation of audiences is increasingly less receptive to traditional spy films. Under this circumstance, Qiangsheng Film and Television, which focuses on spy films and anti-war films as its main investment themes, is also seeking changes.
Lai Pengbo, a new director, and "Secret and Great", an idol fashion-themed spy drama, are the vane of Qiangsheng Film and Television's compromise with the market.
I understand that this is the company's promotion of new people. As an old man like me, who has shares in the company and is already famous, being a producer is actually to control the content, and other things...can't interfere too much.
"Director Lai, I can't control this. I just think Xiaozhi is a good kid, so give him a chance to audition. The play is yours, and it's up to you to decide which role he meets."
Lai Pengbo smiled lightly when he heard Liu Yun pay so much attention to propriety.
What is a strong flower of the future?
In a good mood, Lai Pengbo waved to Li Youzhi.
"In this case, Mr. Li, let's try a scene. The plot is like this. In order to treat your mother's illness, you betrayed your friends and curried favor with your boss. But the uncle from your hometown suddenly found you and returned the money you sent home, and told you Your mother has passed away, complaining that she wrote you more than a dozen letters but didn’t reply, and then you broke into your boss’s office to look for letters. I’ll give you the lines to see how you feel.”
Hearing Lai Pengbo's request, Li Youzhi nodded.
This is how auditions for large production crews are. Generally, those who audition will not get the script first. They can only perform it live according to the director's audition requirements, and then it will be screened by the crew.
After brewing his emotions for a while, Li Youzhi looked at Liu Yun, who was smiling, and Lai Pengbo, who picked up the script.
"That's it."
"If it weren't for the fact that everyone in the same village has the surname Zhao, I wouldn't bother to come here to find you! This is the US dollar you sent back, keep it!"
The lines handed over by Lai Pengbo were scripted, without any emotion, just providing a scenario.
Faced with this line that was so readable, Li Youzhi instantly fell into the role!
There was huge confusion in his eyes, like a child who didn't know what mistake he had made. He smiled awkwardly and rubbed his palms with his pants.
"Uncle, what is this for? This is the money I sent home to give my mother medical treatment and medicine... Why did you send it back to me?"
"With all the people gone, what kind of medical treatment and medicine can we still take?"
As Lai Pengbo spoke another line, Li Youzhi was stunned. Then he took two steps forward and grabbed Lai Pengbo's hand!
"What do you mean, there are no people left!"
Damn it!
Lai Pengbo was shocked when he saw Li Youzhi's face turned pale in an instant, and his extremely trembling pupils, which seemed to be experiencing an earthquake.
He originally thought it was a related household, but now it seems... there is something in this connected household!
Not only him, but also the creative staff of several surrounding crews were stunned.
If nothing else, Li Youzhi’s acting skills are a bit inconsistent with his age!
Only Liu Yun hugged his shoulders and smiled - he had seen this situation once more than a month ago.
Beep!
Received amazing value, 47 points!
The system prompts coming from his ears did not distract Li Youzhi.
Normally, Lai Pengbo would have to deliver two more lines - the audition plot is not over yet!
But being suppressed by Li Youzhi's strong and precise emotions, Lai Pengbo was immediately stuck.
Under that shocking gaze, he adjusted for a while before waving his hand.
"Okay, okay, that's it. Let's study it later and let you know the result of the interview later."
Hearing what Lai Pengbo said, Li Youzhi stopped the drama in his eyes. After thanking Lai Pengbo, he walked to Liu Yun's side and smiled shyly.
"Director Liu, I have something I want to discuss with you."
…
Tu Zheng was very depressed.
I originally came to Rongdian to follow up on the preparations for the "Secret and Great" project, and stopped by the school to see my daughter.
Unexpectedly...it seems that I am being ridden in the face by some kind of will-o'-the-wisp!
As a father who gave birth to a daughter, he was more or less prepared for his daughter to grow up and get into trouble with a jerk.
However, when that day came, he still felt like the cabbage he had worked so hard to raise was about to be eaten by pigs - or he was depressed.
That feeling... is even stronger than when my wife wears a bonnet on herself!
Just as the miserable Mr. Tu was walking towards the business hall of the Heyue Hotel with steps that he wanted to trample to death all the ants on the ground, and was about to attend the project preparation progress report meeting, he suddenly saw a familiar figure at the end of the corridor.
Damn it!
Seeing Li Youzhi at the end of the corridor, talking to his good brother Liu Yun, Tu Zheng stepped aside in a flash.
This end.
Liu Yunzheng was helpless when he heard that Li Youzhi wanted to outsource the costumes and extras from the crew.
In fact, as the director of production, he has the right to outsource the outsourcing.
Looking at the costume information of "Tiangong Kaiwu" and "Rongbo Performance" provided by Li Youzhi, as well as the stills information of the Agricultural University students' previous groups, he felt that the design capabilities of this studio were pretty good.
However, this time the filming project of "Secret and Great" was taken very seriously by the company. If he interfered too much, firstly, he was afraid of causing unnecessary criticism. Secondly...as the director producer, he was also worried that the new director the company wanted to promote would have some influence on him. Opinion.
The costumes are a little better, and the actors are usually decided by the director.
Just when Liu Yun was thinking about dealing with this matter, his phone suddenly vibrated.
Liu Yun picked up the phone.
Seeing the message from Tu Zheng, he glanced suspiciously at Li Youzhi who was waiting for the news.
"You wait here for a while, I'll be back as soon as I can."
After making a sign of waiting, Liu Yun strode out of the corridor.
Seeing Tu Zheng hiding aside, he frowned.
"Brother Zheng, what's going on? Do you know that guy?"
"I just fucking met him! Su Su's classmate!"
Seeing the confused expression on Tu Zheng's face, Liu Yun hissed: "Why, this kid is familiar with Su Su?"
I really wish they didn't know each other that well!
Tu Zheng and Liu Yun were also old friends for many years, and Tu Zheng didn't hide anything, so he recounted what he saw at noon.
"No way... Su Su has grown up among actors since she was a child. Although this kid's acting skills are okay... his appearance... is just that. Can Su Su like him?"
Faced with Liu Yun's doubts, Tu Zheng pointed at himself.
"do I look good?"
Liu Yun smiled dryly.
Don’t you know what kind of virtue you have?
"Is Susu's mother good-looking?"
Liu Yun nodded. Yu Xia was recognized as the most beautiful agent in the industry in the 1990s. At that time, how many companies wanted to let her film for artists?
You guys are so cheap!
Facing Liu Yun's regretful gaze, Tu Zheng clapped his hands.
Thick willow dustpan and thin willow bucket, who in the world thinks a man is ugly!
Evil bamboos often produce good bamboo shoots, Lai Han often marries fairies... He often goes against the rules in this game!
After adjusting his mood, Tu Zheng sighed and asked Li Youzhi why he came here.
Tu Zheng raised his eyebrows high when he learned that Li Youzhi was here for an audition and wanted to take on the costume and extras work.
After reading the information handed over by Liu Yun, Tu Zheng thought about it secretly and said;
"The filming of this drama will take three months, right?"
"Roughly the same."
"Being in charge of costumes and extras, it's a lot of work. You have to be so busy that you can't even take care of your girlfriend."
"Haha... Anyway, I don't bother to call my wife and send her a video at the beginning of every shooting. Xiaotong complains that this means she got married too early. If she knew I was so busy when we were in love, she would follow her at home after we got married. You act like a man and won’t marry me at all.”
After hearing Liu Yun's words with a bitter look on his face, Tu Zheng's eyes lit up.
"give him!!!"
"Give him the role, the costumes, and the extras! Give them all to him, and you can speed up the filming! After filming starts, this kid must be tied to the crew for two months!"
Liu Yun hissed when he saw Tu Zheng, the boss, clenched his teeth and clapped his hands. .
You can tell that he is dissatisfied with that guy. He gave away more than one million yuan in outsourcing projects.
You say he is satisfied with this kid... Why are you still talking through your back molars?
For a moment, Liu Yun couldn't tell whether it was punishment or reward...
…
"Hello Director Liu, I am Lu Yuanfu, director of the Employment Center of Agricultural University. Tongchen Society and Heguang Culture are student groups and entrepreneurial projects that our Agricultural University focuses on supporting. Now we are about to face the graduation season. I hope you can give the children a chance... No. No, it’s a bit too dry to say that. The management must see what they can get, and they are not philanthropic..."
"Ahem... Hello Director Liu, Tongchen Society and Heguang Culture have very strong business capabilities, and they have participated successively..."
The entrance of Heyue Hotel.
Just when Lu Yuanfu was mumbling something and preparing to sell the film when he saw the crew leader later, the car door was suddenly opened from the outside.
Immediately, Li Youzhi, who had just been out for more than half an hour, sat down on the passenger seat.
Seeing Li Youzhi fastening his seat belt, Lu Yuanfu blinked.
"They didn't give me any help?"
"It's settled, let's sign the contract tomorrow."
(⊙ω⊙)
Beep!
Received amazing value, 18 points!
Oh, what a guy.
Li Youzhi was happy when he looked at the stunning value on the system panel, which was probably the largest number of single transactions he had ever received.
Director Lu is very sensitive!
After patting Lu Yuanfu on the shoulder and indicating to him to drive back to school, Li Youzhi turned on his mobile phone.
Ever since the audition just ended, several alarming sounds have sounded in my ears.
Turning on his phone and looking at the website of Provincial TV, Li Youzhi raised the corner of his mouth.
Things are getting better...
The episode of "Five Thousand Years in the Textbook" in which Jin Ke assassinated the King of Qin, which he previously participated in the filming of, was broadcast on provincial TV stations and online!
Beep!
Received amazing points, 11911 points!
Beep!
Received amazing points, 13112 points!
Hearing two beeps next to his ears again, Li Youzhi turned on his phone.
Sure enough... the shaking hands that had just stopped for two days exploded again and again!
