Chapter 820 It’s Hard to Find a Senior Schoolmate
[Edited and replaced with Deng Jiajia, the aunt's acting is also good]
"Come in!"
Someone answered from inside, and Deng Jiajia pushed the door and went in.
The moment she opened the door, she was relieved.
There was no bed inside, nor a man who had just taken a shower.
The facilities in this room were cleared out and arranged as an audition venue. Not only were there four interviewers, but there were also video recording equipment.
Deng Jiajia knew several people.
There were Hao Yun, An Xiaoxi, Zhang Songwen, and one should be Cao Dun.
I didn't expect that Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi, the male and female lead, actually participated in the audition in person. It seems that this project is indeed a high-quality project as rumored.
The most talked about thing is that it is a project with a cost of 50 million yuan, but it received 60 million yuan. Not only did the major investors not go crazy, but they obediently accepted this unfair transaction.
It can be imagined how much everyone values this project.
This is also the main reason why Deng Jiajia came all the way to audition. She had made an appointment with her classmates, but something happened and they broke the appointment.
"Please sit down!"
Zhang Songwen is the audition director, and he has Deng Jiajia's information in his hand.
This Deng Jiajia is no longer a newcomer.
In 2002, Deng Jiajia participated in the martial arts TV series "Xia Ke Xing" by chance, and played the role of Shi Jian in the play.
Afterwards, she was admitted to the Performance Department of Communication University with a score of 200 points above the score line.
In 2007, she played the leading role in the same-sex theme movie "Except Wushan".
Although she is already 25 years old, she has a baby face, let alone playing a college student, she can play a high school student.
Hao Yunya even played a high school student.
Stars are relatively young, so there is no pressure to put on makeup and make a style.
Of course, it is outrageous to play a high school student in your forties or fifties.
"Here are the lines. Take a look and memorize them." Zhang Songwen handed over a piece of paper. Deng Jiajia stood up and took it and sat back down.
She was fearless in front of the four interviewers.
After all, she had experience in filming and had experienced many big scenes.
Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi did not stare at them, but just wrote and drew on the paper.
If Cao Dun, who was sitting on the side, glanced at them, he would know that the two were chatting with pens.
But Cao Dun sat sideways and did not even look over there.
He was tired of living or something when he secretly watched the boss and the boss's wife flirting.
[Is she pretty? ]
[It's okay...]
[What do you mean it's okay? I think she's pretty]
[You are a girl, why do you act like a wolf?]
[I just said it was pretty, and you talked about the wolf. What are you thinking about?]
[I miss you...]
Deng Jiajia had memorized the lines and started to perform as required.
Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi also sat up straight.
This is respect for the actors.
In just a few minutes, the performance was over.
Deng Jiajia bowed and waited for the interviewers to give their conclusions.
Should I pass directly, go back and wait, or confirm on the spot...
"Thank you for coming to the audition for "Your Name", there will be a result later..." Zhang Songwen leaned back on the back of the chair, looked at the other interviewers first, and then planned to send the girl away.
Her acting skills are OK, but her image is not suitable.
She doesn't look bright and generous enough, and doesn't fit the character of a beautiful senior.
"Let her try the role of the female lead's classmate." Hao Yun suddenly said.
The female lead's classmate is currently being considered for Shu Chang.
However, her schedule may not be able to arrange it, and she doesn't like this role very much.
She personally prefers to play the female lead's sister.
The original script is ten years old, fourth grade of elementary school, but it is not impossible to design it as a junior high school student.
She can really play Shu Chang at this time.
And she personally thinks it is very challenging, pretending to be young is also a skill.
On the contrary, she didn't like the honest and quiet female lead.
"I'll find this one. You memorize this line and then perform it for us. Frankly speaking, you are not suitable for the role of senior sister. It's better to play someone like Fan Xuexue or Chen Hao."
Zhang Songwen explained very frankly.
This Deng Jiajia has a certain level. With such acting skills at this age, as long as she practices hard, she may become an acting school in the future.
He is an acting teacher and is very good at judging people.
"Ah... Thank you teachers for giving me another chance." Deng Jiajia was a little disappointed.
However, if she compares herself with Chen Hao and Fan Xuexue, she will know where she is lacking.
This comparison is really hurtful.
But she still took what Zhang Songwen gave her and watched it carefully.
After a while, she started her performance again.
She acted really well.
Only by comparison can we see the difference. At least this person played two roles with different positioning and achieved the minimum differentiation.
"I can give you the role of the female lead. Do you have any requirements for the salary?" Hao Yun became serious.
"I... haven't thought about it. Any price is fine." Deng Jiajia didn't expect the audition to be so trivial.
When she was auditioning for the senior sister just now, she was asked to go back and wait for notification.
Now it was announced that the audition was passed.
It seems that Hao Yun has the most power here.
"200,000." Hao Yun glanced at Cao Dun.
Cao Zhen nodded. Based on the role, the cost budget of the play, and Deng Jiajia's personal situation, this price is already very good.
Deng Jiajia herself only played the role of a maid from the Changle Gang in "The Heroes", and there was also a same-sex Category III film that was not released.
When Hao Yunchang debuted, he acted in several movies before he received a salary of more than 100,000 yuan.
But times have changed, and prices have skyrocketed in recent years.
200,000 yuan to find a capable and good-looking actress is really cost-effective.
"Ah, thank you so much! I will try my best to perform well. Thank you to all the directors and seniors."
Deng Jiajia couldn't hide her excitement, it was as if she was in a dream.
"For the role of senior sister, you can try to consider Chen Hao. Although she is a bit expensive now, but it is only for TV series. If you are interested in entering the big screen, you can definitely get a discount."
After Cao Zhen sent Deng Jiajia off and came back, several people began to discuss the results of the two days of casting.
What has been confirmed so far is that in addition to a boy and a girl, there is also the role of a grandmother.
The role of grandma was chosen by Zheng Peipei. She had collaborated with An Xiaoxi in "The Fairy Sword", but that time it was a grandma and her granddaughter, this time it was a grandma and her granddaughter.
There is already a tacit understanding of working together, and her salary is not high.
"Chen Hao is not easy to talk to. The price he charges for TV series is almost as high as Mr. An's. He is so arrogant..."
"I remember that when I was filming "Painted Skin", I worked with a supporting character named Liu Yan. She was also bright and elegant. Boss, are you still impressed?"
"No." Hao Yun shook his head.
"You don't dare to do it, do you?" Zhang Songwen laughed.
"I will meet my sister-in-law next time and talk to him about your colorful nightlife in the capital." Hao Yun was not polite.
"Nightlife? You are setting this up. I am an honest person. Forget it, let's get down to business," Zhang Songwen said seriously, "Do you want her to come over and give it a try?"
"Liu Yan's reputation doesn't seem to be very good." Cao Zhen frowned.
Although the senior character’s role is not as big as that of the female lead classmate, the character design is very exciting. If the actor is not chosen well, it will greatly affect the quality of the entire work.
Yoo Yeon's stardom has been filled with controversy.
"Can Yin Tao do it?" Zhang Songwen thought of another person.
"She acted in a TV series. She has good looks, but she's probably not cheap." Hao Yun had never communicated with the other party.
Moreover, not all TV stars want to challenge the big screen.
Some people who work on TV just like to work on TV.
Staying comfortable in your comfort zone is also an option, and you don’t necessarily have to find fault on your own.
"Ni Hongjie?"
"I was born in 1978, so I am a bit old. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to play a college senior at the age of 30?" Zhang Songwen often works as a casting director for Black Bean Media's projects, and he knows the actors' information very well.
"Thirty years old is actually not bad. If you find someone in his early twenties, he may not be able to portray the style of a senior sister. How about Hu Jing?"
"Hu Jing is also good, as are Yan Juchen and Yang Xue."
Several people listed it and found that there were actually many people to choose from, but whether it would work or not still depends on the costume and performance.
"When will it be turned on?" Zhang Songwen asked.
"I guess it will be the end of June, almost July." Hao calculated the time when "Let the Bullets Fly" will be completed.
"Let the Bullets Fly" started shooting in late March, and the shooting lasted less than three months.
Since Jiang Wen no longer constantly changes the script, the filming may be completed in two and a half months.
But that won’t be until next month either.
"The weather will be hot by then, and filming will probably be very hard." Cao Zhen sighed.
"Actually, it's not bad. The temperature there in August and September is only about 30 degrees, which is pretty good compared to Hengdian." Hao Yun had already inquired about it when he and An Xiaoxi went there last time.
"Okay, let's tentatively set the date for July 1. Let's speed up the process of finding all the actors and go there to inspect the venue in June!"
Cao Zhen has to go there first. As the assistant director, all the dirty work is his.
After the audition, several people found another place to have a meal. Of course it was Hao Yun's treat. "Little Forest Spring" has exploded at the box office in the mainland, and may become the highest-grossing film in this series in the world.
