Chapter 530 530. Audition (Part 1)

Nie Wei has returned to China, so for these young men, the last link of whether they can play in idol dramas has been completed.

As expected, the next morning, someone from the company came to inform them that they would go to the company for an audition the next morning.

Although everyone knew that it would take one or two days, when the time was confirmed, they did not settle down, but became more anxious, because they only had one day to prepare.

So everyone even shortened their rest time. The eight big boys worked harder than the candidates before the college entrance examination, because this was the "college entrance examination" they had to face.

Fortunately, they did not have to walk on a single-plank bridge among thousands of troops, because there were only four places and only nine competitors. As long as they found the right position and stepped on five of them, they would be successful.

Among the nine people, Jing Bairan was the most at ease.

Just as the other eight young men had secretly guessed in their hearts, Jing Bairan had already been reserved by Nie Wei as the male lead.

This time was earlier than everyone expected. It was decided within a few days after Nie Wei said that he wanted to remake "Boys Over Flowers". Therefore, although Jing Boran would also participate in this audition, he was selected internally, so he would only go through the motions.

As for the other eight people, Nie Wei did not have any special likes or dislikes for anyone, so the opportunities given to them were basically fair. Anyway, whoever has the ability will go, after all, they are all the new generation of blood-making in Huayi.

The audition was scheduled at nine in the morning, but Nie Wei arrived at the company at seven thirty.

Before entering the company, Nie Wei saw twenty or thirty little fans downstairs, holding cheering signs and waiting there, some for Jing Boran, some for Pubajia, and some for Li Yifeng. It was obvious that they had heard that their idols would come back to the company for auditions today, and came to cheer them up.

Nie Wei was in a good mood when he saw this scene. It was the right of idols to have fans supporting them. Now it seems that the talent show is not useless. At least these guys have the foundation to be idols.

"Should we call those guys now and ask them to come over?" Seeing Nie Wei arrive so early, Luo Yuan was a little surprised and asked.

Nie Wei smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Wait a minute, Brother Zhonglei, let's have a small meeting first, and Jing Boran and the others will audition at the specified time."

"Understood." Luo Yuan nodded and continued to concentrate on her work.

The reason why she came earlier than Nie Wei was that she didn't go home at all last night, because Nie Wei gave her a new job, which was the producer position of the new TV series.

In the crew, if the director is the head of the family and the role of the father, then the producer is the chief steward of the crew and the role of the mother.

The producer needs to manage the eating, drinking, defecating and urinating of the entire crew. In addition, the sponsorship of the TV series, and even contacting the actors confirmed by the director, etc., is a position that requires carefulness and patience.

Nie Wei put Luo Yuan in this position to let her exercise and prepare herself mentally for the promotion to deputy general manager in the future.

Luo Yuan also knew this, so she worked very hard, hoping to achieve good results, at least to prevent Nie Wei from being gossiped about in personnel appointments. Luo Yuan also did not allow herself to be unpromising. If she got the position, she knew that people would criticize her, so it would be better not to get promoted.

Nie Wei also saw her ambition but also her sense of responsibility and motivation, so he was willing to recommend her to the position. Otherwise, it would be impossible just by personal connections.

If it was just by personal connections, Nie Wei's agent Luo Kai would have become a senior executive of the company long ago, and he would not be just Nie Wei's exclusive agent like now, with only a deputy director position of the empty agent department in the company.

The two of them were doing their own things. Luo Yuan was calculating the budget of the crew, while Nie Wei was looking at the styling designs of several male and female protagonists that he had made when he was in Jeju Island, and was going to discuss them with Wang Zhonglei later.

At 8:10, Wang Zhonglei came to the company, and then went directly to the meeting room after being notified.

"Boss Wang." Luo Yuan stood up and politely greeted Wang Zhonglei.

Nie Wei also stood up, waved to Wang Zhonglei, and said, "Brother Zhonglei, I'm waiting for you to discuss something." While talking, Nie Wei told him about the character design and the script outline of this idol drama.

Wang Zhonglei sat next to Nie Wei and looked at the information Nie Wei handed him carefully.

"Is the design not consistent with the comics?"

"Why must it be consistent with the comics?" Nie Wei asked curiously, "Comics are comics, and TV series are TV series. As long as we grasp the characteristics of the characters, we don't rely on comics for everything. That would be a failure. Although we want to adapt, we must at least have our own characteristics and our own plot. It is not appropriate to copy blindly."

Wang Zhonglei nodded directly after listening to Nie Wei's explanation. In fact, he didn't want to interfere with the crew's affairs at all. Working with Nie Wei over the years has taught him one thing: professional matters should be left to professionals.

"Luo Yuan, how's the sponsorship going?" It has been two or three days since he and Nie Wei released the news, and he also felt that those brands should take action.

"There hasn't been much progress in clothing, because Mr. Nie hasn't revealed the news about clothing, but there will definitely be a big progress after today. As for other aspects, several domestic brands of automobile companies are very interested in our TV series, but those Car dealers from big international brands don’t pay much attention to us.”

Luo Yuan has actually sugarcoated this matter. Those high-end car dealers have no interest in her idol drama at all, and they are afraid of lowering their cars, which really makes Luo Yuan angry. That's a lot.

But even though Luo Yuan didn't explain, Wang Zhonglei could guess the faces of those guys.

In fact, now that Huayi Company can attract the advertising fees of those high-end car dealers, it is estimated that only Nie Wei can take action. However, it is too low-priced to play such an idol drama as Nie Wei, so this matter can only be done Forget it for now.

"There are still a few luxury cars in the company's garage. When the time comes, I'll put the signs on the cars and lend them to your crew." Wang Zhonglei said.

"I still have a Porsche 911 parked at home, and I will lend it to your crew when the time comes. Remember to keep it carefully for me." Nie Wei also expressed on the side.

When Luo Yuan heard that the car had been found, she immediately beamed.

After all, she has read this comic. It is all about wealthy families, and wealthy families must have luxury cars. Otherwise, when the audience watches TV, they will find out that the male protagonist with a family fortune of tens of billions goes out to do... Xia Li, isn’t that making other people laugh off their teeth?

At that time, Luo Yuan, as a producer, will definitely be called "incompetent" and will also become the object of ridicule in the industry. After all, the quality of props used by the crew depends on the producer's ability.

At this time, it also shows the benefit of a producer having connections. If Luo Yuan and Nie Wei were not close, Wang Zhonglei would not be so pretentious about borrowing a luxury car. After all, luxury cars will lose value as long as they are used. , and Nie Wei was willing to lend the Porsche for the same reason. In the final analysis, it was all about human relations. What's more, Luo Yuan was the producer he promoted, so he naturally wanted to fully support it.

If he didn't need a scooter on weekdays, Nie Wei could lend Luo Yuan the Mercedes-Benz G he was driving.

Luo Yuan is not dissatisfied. The company's cars plus Nie Wei's Porsche are enough for filming. Although these cars cannot be regarded as real top luxury cars, they are still difficult to match the families of the characters in the play. But in the eyes of ordinary people, it is enough for a luxury car, at least enough for filming TV series.

With two big bosses in front of her, Luo Yuan also reported the difficulties she had sorted out one by one.

Wang Zhonglei and Nie Wei dealt with the issues that could be dealt with in person, and put them aside for the time being if they couldn't be dealt with. Anyway, the crew would need at least a month to prepare, so there was plenty of time to resolve these problems.

Unknowingly, it was almost nine o'clock, and in the corridor outside the conference room, nine big boys had been waiting for a long time.

Among them, the earliest arrived at 8:30, and the latest arrived at the company at around 8:40. No one really dared to come on time. If you come a little earlier, at least you will avoid the trouble of being late, and maybe you will be able to come. It will leave a good impression on several big guys who are auditioning.

But what disappointed them was that these big guys came earlier than them and had been discussing something in the conference room. Don't come out to see them during this time. Only a few staff members walked into the meeting in a hurry. room and never came out again.

It seemed very busy inside, and some people even thought that they might not be able to start at nine o'clock. As soon as nine o'clock, someone came over to inform them to prepare for the interview.

"It's finally starting, I'm so nervous." Zhang Chao muttered to Li Yifeng, who was in front of him.

It wasn't that he wanted Li Yifeng to answer him, he just felt that if he didn't say so, the tension in his heart would not be expressed.

Li Yifeng was also nervous, but he usually didn't show much expression. However, when Zhang Chao behind him muttered, he couldn't help but frown. Zhang Chao's nagging obviously affected him. But as a friend, he was too embarrassed to tell Zhang Chao to shut up.

The first person in line at this time was Pu Bajia, but he was not the first to enter the room, because before him, Jing Boran was called in first.

This made his bad thoughts more and more certain, but he still kept a trace of hope in his heart. This was also caused by the male protagonist. After all, anyone who has seen the TV series adapted from this comic will understand who really played the male protagonist. Who can make fire exist?

"Fight, we must fight!" Pubajia was secretly cruel in his heart. Such a good opportunity was in front of him. Even if he knew that the enemy was strong, he would still try to fight for it. The most important thing was that Nie Wei gave them two chances. , which also gave them more confidence.

While the big boys outside were anxious and looking forward to it, Jing Boran inside the room seemed much calmer.

Jing Boran stood still and briefly introduced himself.

"My name is Jing Boran. I am seventeen years old and 1.81 meters tall. This time I want to audition for the role of Daoming Sisi."

"The male protagonist? The young man is very ambitious." Wang Zhonglei said with a smile.

"Mr. Wang, I am very ambitious. A star without ambition will definitely have no future." Jing Boran replied, and he was clever and replaced the not-so-sounding ambition with ambition, but it actually meant the same thing.

"Who taught you this?" Wang Zhonglei glanced at Nie Wei when he asked.

"No one taught me. I figured it out on my own in the crew." Jing Boran scratched the back of his head, smiled and replied.

Without waiting for Wang Zhonglei and Jing Boran to continue chatting, Nie Wei asked directly: "There are ice water, milk, red wine, drinks and coffee over there. Choose one."

"Red wine." Jing Boran replied after a little hesitation.

"Reason." Luo Yuan asked on the side.

"I think among the several drinks, red wine is most in line with Daoming Si's identity. Aren't the rich drinking red wine, champagne and the like?"

Nie Wei did not answer him, but continued to throw questions for Jing Boran to answer.

Finally, Jing Boran was asked to pose and recite a few lines, and then he was asked to leave and go back to wait for news.

Soon, the second Pubajia was also called in, and Wang Zhonglei, Nie Wei and others basically asked roughly the same questions.

Just like this, one by one, in order, until the last Ma Tianyu came out of the room, everyone finished the audition, and it took less than an hour in total.

A bunch of big boys were arranged to go to the lounge after the audition, waiting for the audition news. A staff member had just come to inform them. After the discussion, the results will be announced directly.

"Li Yifeng, which drink did you choose?" In a corner of the lounge, Jing Boran, Li Yifeng and Zhang Chao gathered together again. As soon as Zhang Chao finished the interview, he immediately asked Li Yifeng's choice.

"I chose milk." Li Yifeng replied, and then asked Zhang Chao what he chose.

"I chose red wine. Shouldn't nobles drink red wine? Jingbao, what about you?" Zhang Chao explained, as if this would give him confidence, and then he didn't forget to ask Jing Boran next to him what he chose.

"I also chose red wine." Jing Boran answered calmly.

Zhang Chao was relieved when he heard this answer. He felt that Jing Boran must have a background. He chose what he chose, so his chances of success might be greater.

But Li Yifeng on the side didn't think so. She always felt that Nie Wei asked them to choose those drinks, which must have a meaning. It would be better to choose different ones at this time. If they chose the same one with Jing Boran, it might be unlucky.

Not only Zhang Chao and Jing Boran were discussing, but the other small circles were also exchanging answers with each other, trying to guess the secrets. Time passed with their discussion until Luo Yuan walked into the lounge half an hour later, and the noisy room suddenly became quiet.

Luo Yuan glanced at everyone present, and finally fixed her eyes on Jing Boran's face.

Thanks to Qiu Ye Liang Yue, 0773, and Fridrik for their reward support.
