Chapter 43 Auditions

March 6, Sunday.

Pu Jie got up early in the morning and took a look at the data of the writer's assistant. The new book has no increase.

190 first orders, it seems to be the peak.

The average order is between 180 and 190.

Although the follow-up reading is not bad, the foundation is too poor. Even if 10,000 words are updated every day, the sales volume cannot be increased.

"With this sales volume, it can't even reach the lowest recommendation after it is put on the shelf."

The main station of Qidian is stable again. As long as there is no major accident like last time, the average order will not exceed 500 when the book is finished.

"Huh? This situation. So familiar."

Pu Jie, who has been a failure for five years, feels that this data seems to have been seen on someone

After getting up and dressing up.

Pu Jie rushed to the indoor gymnasium of the Beijing Art School. Today, the crew of "Urban Son-in-law Dragon King" is holding an open audition here.

The news spread throughout the college yesterday. The dean of the performance department issued a notice that students who have time can come to this crew to try.

The crew is not big, and the filming funds are not much, but the script is real and produced by Penguin Pictures.

There are many examples of small-budget hits, and most of the acting students want to try their luck.

Of course, some of the proud sons and daughters of heaven may already have schedules, and some people are born to be stars, and they don't look down on such small crews.

But in this old school of Beijing Arts, there are many actors with good looks and acting skills, and many pearls have not been discovered yet.

If the crew doesn't have much money, it is a good way to come here to discover new actors.

Every year, newcomers become popular with a drama or a movie.

So, everyone is enthusiastic.

Early in the morning, several queues have been formed to audition.

Among them, the most students lined up for the female lead and the female supporting role!

The reason is simple, the actors have not been determined, and there are many roles.

The male lead has been determined, and the male supporting role has fewer roles, so there are not too many people in line.

Many people are unwilling to play minor roles. Even if they have a line in one episode, it is just a face-to-face performance. There are many such opportunities, and no one is too eager to see them.

Wei Fan and Pu Jie were sitting in a makeshift workshop at the back, discussing casting.

"Director Wei, I have two friends who are coming to audition this afternoon. They are junior girls from the acting department. They are both very good. Can you take a look?"

"No problem, just bring your people with you."

Wei Fan was very straightforward. He was very satisfied with the script of this drama. According to the feedback from two professional gun editors, he knew that Pu Jie had at least half of the credit for the creation of the first four episodes of the script. The scenes, lines, characters, etc. were all at the high-end level that only a gold medal screenwriter could have.

'You said you don't know much about script creation. It seems that you are being modest! '

'Little genius, you are not honest. '

The two gun editors had worked with him several times before. He recognized their level. The stylized adaptation according to his ideas was very good. He couldn't wait to shoot this drama.

Moreover, when discussing the copyright fee before, Pu Jie made concessions again and again, which was already brotherly enough.

Now he just wants to squeeze in two people he has squeezed in before, is there a problem? No problem!

As long as the appearance and acting skills are acceptable, it will be decided directly.

As for the female lead, he still has to choose carefully, and it must be in line with the tone of the play.

The female lead Xiaotong is a very miserable girl in the book. She has a halo of bad luck on her head. She is always bullied and nothing goes well. When Long Aotian first met her, she was being bullied by some gangsters, and then he showed his power and got rid of the gangsters and rescued this unlucky child.

Unlucky Xiaotong is embarrassed in daily life, and Long Aotian will help her solve problems every time to get a sense of satisfaction.

In the script, Xiaotong retains the unlucky attribute and becomes a little follower who relies on Long Aotian, and then leads to a series of wry events, and the drama runs through the whole story.

In Wei Fan's thinking, the character of Xiaotong should first look young, act like a spoiled child, and have a pitiful look to arouse men's desire to protect her.

This choice of person is very important, he will not settle for it.

The supporting actress Lin Jiayao is the wife who humiliated Long Aotian at the beginning. She is a jumping clown from beginning to end, jumping up and down, wanting revenge, but unable to beat him, and then wanting to remarry, but being ruthlessly slapped in the face.

This role must be chosen well, a beautiful annoying person.

Yes, first of all, it must be beautiful! Otherwise, such a role will disgust the audience.

For the audience now, appearance is justice.

When I watched Journey to the West before, I only watched the monkey. When I rewatched it after growing up, I found that the Seven Fairies, the White Bone Spirit, the Pipa Spirit, and the Queen of the Kingdom of Women were so beautiful.

Besides, no one really watches Ultraman Tiga just to see the suit man, right? Lina is yyds!

Therefore, the supporting actress Lin Jiayao can be given to Pu Jie, and he can find a beautiful vase, and then perform emotions such as shrewdness, contempt, jealousy, and clinging.

Wei Fan believes that Pu Jie, as the original author and the creator of the script, is a person who is responsible for the work like him, and the people he brings will not make things difficult for him.

There were many beautiful girls outside, their young bodies exuding youthful vitality in the winter sun.

They were a feast for the eyes.

Pu Jie turned around and kept sighing that the quality of Beijing Arts Institute was too high.

They were all goddesses.

"It's a pity, I'm a firm pure love party, Yu Han is enough, just feast my eyes."

At this time, a girl from the acting department who was waiting outside noticed that Pu Jie came out of the office area of ​​the main creative team.

She hurried over.

"Handsome guy, are you a member of this crew?"

Pu Jie was stunned when he saw the yellow-haired girl in front of him who could score at least 75 points.

"Are you talking to me?"

"Well, of course, I saw you came from the director's place"

"Oh, yes, I count as half of the crew"

He is a hands-off screenwriter and basically doesn't participate in the crew's affairs.

The subsequent script creation was also completed by Wang Jin and Zhang Wei in cooperation with Wei Fan.

Now the two have begun to create the scripts for the next ten episodes.

The yellow-haired girl's eyes lit up and she guessed Pu Jie's identity at once.

"You are the original author, right? Pu Jie, a freshman in the screenwriting department!"

"Eh? Do you know me?"

The yellow-haired girl stretched out her sparkling little hand.

"I watched "Urban Son-in-law Dragon King" before I came here. Now almost everyone in the school knows that it was adapted from your work. Speaking of which, I still have to thank you for giving the seniors a chance to audition"

Pu Jie shook it politely and then let it go.

"Haha, no, I'm just a novel writer."

"Too modest, does that junior have a girlfriend?"

"Ah?"

Pu Jie stared in surprise, this is too direct!

"What do you think of the senior sister? I'm the vice president of the school's jazz dance club, I can do any pose~"

As she said that, she gave Pu Jie a standing split.

"Hiss~ Goodbye!"

Pu Jie covered his nose and ran away.

There are too many temptations in this school!

I was so angry, when will the pure love god stand up!

In the afternoon.

Pu Jie took Jiang Yuhan and Zhu Yinyin into the crew.

The two people dressed exquisitely instantly attracted everyone's attention. Even though this is Beijing Art Institute, the two girls who are so beautiful and breathtaking still became the focus of everyone's eyes.

Zhang Wei used the excuse of having no inspiration to come to the scene of the actor selection.

"My goodness~ Brother Pu Jie is so lucky"

"For the next drama, I must be the chief screenwriter!"

Pu Jie asked Jiang Yuhan to audition for the supporting actress Lin Jiayao, who he could decide on.

As for Zhu Yinyin, he would just throw her into the list of candidates for the female lead Xiaotong.

"Good luck to you, bye!"
