I became famous after I didn't grow tall

For Wei Lan's mysterious third film, the entertainment industry has very high expectations, especially after the news of Wei Lan's open casting was announced, a lot of actors came for interviews, and the agents of some movie stars also contacted Wei's public office to ask if they meet the requirements of the protagonist.

The movie stars who have awards have enough scripts in their hands, and there will be no situation where there are no dramas to shoot. Naturally, they want to save face. They will not participate in the open casting like other ordinary actors. The attitude is too low. Usually they express their intentions through their agents, and then the director can directly judge whether they are suitable for the role based on their past works and send an audition invitation.

It is worth mentioning that because Wei Lan is busy now, Wei's public office transferred Secretary Wang to Wei Lan's studio to handle some public relations work for her.

As for agents and personnel, Wei Lan did not look for them. Her career plan is very simple, that is, to shoot the movies she made, and she did not deliberately manage the name of Wei Lan into a signboard. Moreover, these roles require frequent contact with her, which is also very inconvenient for her current situation.

In this open casting, Wei Lan did not even announce the requirements for the main and supporting roles, or the gender, but only set a rough age and acting standards.

In this regard, Wei's has a special casting director to do the initial screening, so there is no need to worry about missing some unknown actors, because the threshold for the initial screening is actually not high, it is just to judge whether an individual can act.

Wei Lan has plenty of time to prepare for the casting, because in the future, it will be made into a series of movies, and the characters in it have the possibility of becoming the protagonists. Age and acting room for growth are all areas to be considered, and they need to be carefully selected.

Now the movie has formed a complete framework. If she can meet an actor who triggers her spirit during the casting process, she will not rule out adding or changing the character setting.

…

Wei's Pictures.

"I know, I have an audition now, I'll tell you later."

The voice of the agent came from the other end of the phone: "What auditions are you going to go to now? Gu Yun, are you willing to play a supporting role with only a few lines?"

"...Listen to me, this is the opportunity I fought for with great difficulty. If you want to please Mr. Zhang, he will directly send you to that ancient idol drama to play the third male lead. At this age, this role is the best opportunity. Maybe if Mr. Zhang is happy, there will be hope for the second male lead!"

Gu Yun didn't show any expression after hearing this, but said lightly: "This matter is not negotiable."

"It's just a show. It looked so glorious back then. You debuted as the second male lead, and the male lead didn't become popular, but you offended Mr. Chen... If the agent hadn't jumped ship and assigned it to me, I don't know how long I would have been hidden. Listen to my advice, in this circle, strength and appearance are not the most important. The most important thing is to have a background, otherwise it will be like you had good luck back then, but what about now? How many audiences still remember you? If you really want to be popular, you need someone willing to support you..."

Gu Yun felt that the agent's "earnest" advice was noisy.

"Beep..." He hung up the phone directly, feeling a little itchy in his throat, and took out a cigarette from his glove to smoke one, but when he saw the no-smoking sign on the aisle, he let go of it in dismay.

He didn't know how long he could hold out with his agent. Maybe after failing this audition, he would choose to leave the entertainment industry, or maybe next time, he would agree to let his agent go drink with Mr. Zhang, and next time, it would be something else.

At this time, in the audition space of the holographic world.

"My performance is over, Director Wei."

Qiao Jiamu clasped his hands in front of him and bowed slightly to the panda in front of him.

Facing the best director of the Golden Tripod Award, even if Qiao Jiamu was a popular top star, he was upright and humble at this time, as well-behaved as a newcomer who had just entered the industry, and did not dare to neglect him.

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation, I will contact you later."

Wei Lan nodded. After the audition, she quickly ruled out the possibility of choosing the other party as the protagonist. She might try the supporting role, but there was no rush for that for the time being. It was not necessary for him, and Qiao Jiamu might not be willing to come.

However, Qiao Jiamu felt that this was a tactful refusal. He felt a little disappointed, but he didn't show it on his face. He still bowed modestly and said, "Okay, thank you for your help. See you."

Soon his shadow disappeared in the holographic world, and the actor cabin opened, and Qiao Jiamu walked out.

The agent asked hurriedly, "How is it?"

Qiao Jiamu shook his head, "It shouldn't be very hopeful."

The agent couldn't help but sigh. Qiao Jiamu's current status can be said to have reached the top of the industry, even higher than the top-tier Yu Zizhen who once filmed a romantic drama with Su Yining, but this status is very superficial. If he can't take this opportunity to transform it into qualifications, then the current status is just a castle in the air, and it may disappear or be replaced by others at any time.

In this regard, Qiao Jiamu is not as regretful as the agent. He is not a professional actor. Because his daily schedule is very busy, even if he takes time to take acting classes, he actually does not have enough time to study.

In the face of such a professional field as film, especially for a director like Wei Lan whose previous works were well received, it would be normal for him not to be selected. If he was selected, it would be a stroke of luck.

After leaving the studio, the agent saw that Qiao Jiamu was still a little thoughtful and asked: "What's wrong? What happened?"

"Nothing." Qiao Jiamu scratched his head: "I just feel that Director Wei is very familiar."

I don't know where this familiarity came from, but when Qiao Jiamu saw the panda during the audition today, he always had a strange feeling that he had seen it somewhere before, but when he thought about it, there was no matching object in his mind.

"It's harmful." The manager was amused by his strange focus: "Maybe he accidentally saw a variety show that Director Wei participated in sometime."

The two of them left the aisle as they spoke, passing by Gu Yun who was wearing a sun hat.

"Mr. Gu Yun, please come this way."

Gu Yun looked at the actor's cabin, took a deep breath, and lay down in it.

In the holographic world, Wei Lan looked at the new actor. He had a handsome appearance, a thin body, and a calm constitution. However, he looked a little haggard, and he could see traces of fresh shaves on his stubble.

It can be seen that he was in good condition, but Wei Lan captured the vicissitudes of life.

She realized that she had retrieved the basic information about the actor that she had entered before.

Gu Yun is now twenty-eight years old. He made his debut in a costume drama when he was twenty. He was the second male lead in his first film, and then he got worse and worse. He was almost the same as a junior drama, and his roles were getting smaller and smaller. .

This kind of actor who became famous at a young age but then gradually disappeared due to various reasons has seen a lot of actors during this period because of the public casting process.

In her previous life, Wei Lan was dissatisfied with the weirdness of the entertainment industry, which buried many outstanding actors. She has been an independent film director her whole life, and has the power to say no to capital. She chooses the most suitable casting, because there is the example of Yang Xingyuan, she This time there were still not too many restrictions, so many actors came to try it out.

Although the panda in front of him was a bit funny, Gu Yun's mood still rose unconsciously, and then he heard the panda in front of him say:

"Let's do a free performance. There is no script. I think it's the performance that best showcases my acting skills."

Gu Yun was caught off guard, and his mind went blank. Then his first reaction was to act in a famous work. As the second male lead, he had to sacrifice himself and endure the heartache to fulfill the role of the female lead.

The choice of this clip is not because he has any affection for this plot. It is considered the highlight of his career. Even now, he still often appears in various mixed cuts at Station D and is appreciated by countless viewers.

"Go find Jiang Feng, he needs to be taken care of now."

"The poison of the Medicine King...I have a way."

"I'm not lying." Gu Yun whispered calmly, showing an expression of being in control, and his pale face exposed his vulnerability.

It seemed that the heroine turned away, and he suddenly showed a painful expression, as if he was coughing up blood.

His eyes looked at the direction the heroine left.

Up to this point in the performance, Gu Yun was acting based on his memory. At this time, his emotions reached the peak, and he needed to show the feeling of getting what he wanted and being satisfied.

But at this moment, looking at the panda in front of him, his heart was occupied by another emotion.

'Choose me...'

'I will really try my best to play this role well...'

In the past, Wei Lan and his agent seemed to be divided into two sides of the world, facing heaven and hell. He did not pay for the mistakes that were not his own. He was a serious actor. He was not willing to be hidden eight years later because of his refusal to unspoken rules. , returned to the small town in embarrassment, not willing to compromise with those who had forced him to this point in order to prove himself.

He even got what his agent would say to him after he failed in this audition: Look, in the end, he listened to me obediently. I wish I had agreed earlier. I should have agreed years ago. What have I gained by persisting until now?

Wei Lan looked at the handsome man in front of him, and sparks suddenly ignited in his eyes.

The feeling of unwillingness to get rid of the destined fate made Wei Lan's originally dull emotions fuller.

Time is tolerant to good-looking people. Gu Yun's appearance can be called excellent and he doesn't look old. However, his previous appearance had always given Wei Lan the feeling of being wasted. Until then, he suddenly A confrontational emotion appeared out of nowhere, making his whole body revitalized.

Wei Lan actually saw a young man in him at this time, with a strange stubborn innocence.

This made Wei Lan very interesting and inspired her to develop a new spirit in the protagonist's character.

"Director, I'm done."

Gu Yun looked defeated. He knew that the performance had failed. Judging from the previous situation, he had just been distracted and the emotions he showed were not right at all.

"Hmm... call me when I get back." Wei Lan said simply, and then directly ejected Gu Yun from the holographic world.

Gu Yun felt that there was no chance. According to the unspoken rules of the workplace, this kind of notice did not mean anything.

After Gu Yun left, Wei Lan left the director's machine directly and informed the studio that the upcoming audition would be postponed to tomorrow. Then he immediately took out his tablet and opened the script of "Psychic Epidemic":

'Protagonist 2: A deeply hidden extremist, a mentally ill person who thinks he is not mentally ill...'
