When Careeraholic Meets Workaholic

Jin Yi sighed as soon as she said it: "You should have seen it too, whoever came to the audition, the teachers I contacted before all rejected me, and the actors from the big agency company didn't even come after they agreed. See if you really can't find a suitable person, let's meet the actor directly, do you have any actor you like, I can try to get it."

Zhou Yao didn't want to talk about the actors for the time being, but asked in confusion: "Why didn't you come after the talk? Do you know the reason?"

Jin Yi looked at his expression, then raised her eyebrows: "Want to investigate?"

"It's better to understand."

"Okay, leave it to me."

Neither of the two matters is considered resolved, but that's the only way to go for the time being.

Zhou Yao was brought to the rostrum by Jin Yi, and found that the producer's name was placed next to the director, sitting in the middle of the rostrum, and he sat on the edge of the rostrum with a blank expression, thinking Thinking about it, I put the desk card in the drawer again, then took out the laptop and opened it, and started to edit the script on the spot.

Mei Guangxuan came in with a thermos, stood behind him and looked at it for a while, and waited for his revision to reach a paragraph, and said: "I also feel that this place is a bit off the beaten track, but once it is revised, the whole story will change, is it okay?" ?”

"It's okay, I'm the author." Zhou Yao kept typing on the keyboard without looking back.

"Okay, let's have a good chat after today's work." Mei Guangxuan walked a few steps and then turned around, "Why are you sitting here?"

"Yeah." Zhou Yao answered vaguely without any explanation, and Mei Guangxuan didn't know what he thought of, so he glanced at Zhou Yao before walking away.

At 08:30, the audition officially started.

The male number one, Xiao Ziqi auditioned for the role first.

"Shen Shuo" is the first work of "Tian Shen Universe" created by Zhou Yao. When he wrote the first word, he had already constructed the entire Tian Shen Universe.

At the beginning of the universe, there were seven creation energies, representing time, space, life, death, illusion, reality, and soul.In the development of the universe for hundreds of millions of years, these energies are either regarded as private collections by some powerful people, or regarded as planetary treasures by alien life, and some of them are drifting in the universe, waiting for the discovery of destined people.

The seven energies represent seven stories and the rise of seven heroes.

In modern society, a singer from Huaguo, whose vocal cords were damaged due to being plotted against, and his hand injury could not allow him to play musical instruments anymore, in order to find his own destiny, he arrived at the Snow Mountain tribe at the foot of Mount Everest. Under the leadership of the patriarch, the story of an adventure journey begins after passing through layers of tests and finally obtaining the "mysterious power".

The actor Xiao Ziqi does not need to be able to play and sing, but he must have the indomitable spirit of weeds, especially in the face of setbacks, the perseverance to overcome difficulties conveys the spirit and gives the audience a sense of, He has such a heart, he will definitely feel successful.

But Zhou Yao watched for more than an hour, and had already auditioned twenty actors, and he couldn't even see the brilliance in their eyes, that is, the delicate young people living in big cities, who could fly to the sky with white wings, but couldn't. After rolling in the mud and dirt, I can still look up to the sky with my original intention.

What's more, Kong has a beautiful skin, neither acting skills nor shame, dare to wink at Jin Yi in public.

Nobody.

The staff standing at the door pushed open the door and shouted, "No. 30."

A big boy who was not tall but had a delicate appearance and even a bit of beauty walked in.

He walked to the middle of the field, bowed nervously, and said, "Hello, teachers."

Mei Guangxuan and Jin Yi spent a little longer looking at his profile, mainly because the work history is full of words, which is relatively rare among audition actors today.

Then he raised his head and said, "Mi Yuandan, let's start your performance."

Zhou Yao looked away from the laptop screen, looked at him, and found that Mi Yuandan was also looking at him.

Then Mi Yuandan took a deep breath, adjusted his facial expression, knelt down on the ground with a "putong", hugged the stool leg, raised his head and said hoarsely: "Old patriarch, look at me, can I go back?"

"..."

"Go back healthy, and die here, there is no third option."

"..."

"Yes, I am eager for applause and lights, I am vain." After a pause, he grasped the back of the stool leg slowly and hard, his knuckles were stretched white, and the end of his eyes was moist, "So I am not even afraid of death, and I am not afraid of death." What are you afraid of?"

……

…………

Kind of interesting.

Among the people who came this morning, he was probably the only one who put his heart into it.

Zhou Yao's attention was attracted, and he continued to look down.

The content of the audition was chosen by Zhou Yao, because in his opinion, this is the critical moment when the protagonist Xiao Ziqi stands at a fork in life.He came to the tribe under the snow-capped mountain with all he had, suffered all kinds of insults, and was finally able to meet the old patriarch of the tribe, but was told by the old patriarch that on the way to resurrection, he had a narrow escape.

No one is not afraid of death. Compared with the brilliance under the spotlight, the shadow of death is more terrifying, enough to make people hesitate, but Xiao Ziqi chose to move on without hesitation.

Although the protagonist's psychological activities are not clearly stated in the original text, but combined with the context, his heart fluctuates greatly, and the energy bursting out of the hesitation and struggle in an instant should be very strong, so strong that readers can touch it for the first time. his heart.

However, these psychological activities are not in the script. The scenes constructed by simple dialogues require the actors to figure out carefully and put themselves into it.

Before Mi New Year's Day, Zhou Yao only saw a group of "Long Aotian" shouting, afraid of asking, just do it!

Ah!

After Mi Yuandan left, the staff didn't rush to call out number 31, and the audition actors who had waited for a long time talked about it one after another. Mi Yuandan sat back in his original place, looked down and looked like he was playing with his mobile phone, but a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In the conference room, everyone is discussing.

For this audition, Jin Yi specially invited teachers from the Acting Department of the Film and Television School, as well as the assistant director recommended by Mei Guangxuan, plus assistants and Zhou Yao, a total of six people.

The four people sitting in the middle talked with each other.

"It's more relaxed, okay."

"The face is also very photogenic."

"Stay here for now?"

"Leave."

Jin Yi raised her voice and said, "Mr. Zhou, what do you mean?"

Zhou Yao gave an "um" and had no objection.

Jin Yi smiled and said: "And Chuanghui's company is also okay, Hao Yue, you know? They belong to their family. If Mi joins the team on New Year's Day, maybe Hao Yue can join in."

"Yeah." Zhou Yao wasn't very interested. The key point was that he didn't like Mi Yuandan's appearance. Is his male protagonist so sweet?But seeing that everyone else recognized the value of Mi Yuandan, Zhou Yao didn't intend to say more for the time being.

But who is Jin Yi? The crew manager is in charge of communication. She has all the emotions and desires in front of her eyes, so she immediately shut up and shouted, "Next."

It was eleven o'clock in the blink of an eye.

The male number one audition ended, out of 36 auditioned actors, only four entered the re-examination.

It's still early for dinner, the male number two audition continues.

The male number two is Fu Xiabing.

The prince of the contracted company where the protagonist Xiao Ziqi works, but just because the girl he likes falls in love with Xiao Ziqi, he is full of malice towards Xiao Ziqi, not only ruining his vocal cords, but also kicking him out of the entertainment circle.After the protagonist obtained the "mysterious power" and beat him down, and the beauties had a good career, he also followed the protagonist's footsteps to find the Snow Mountain Tribe, and used the life of the old patriarch's daughter to obtain the method of obtaining power, but in the end he obtained it. It is evil energy. After torturing the protagonist, he was killed back. Before he died, he summoned the evil life from the alien planet to descend, and thus opened the chapter of the protagonist's conquest of the stars and the sea.

In Fu Xiabing's audition, there were a few guys who made people shine. The protagonist's complex love-hate relationship may be difficult to control, but such a simple evil can barely be done by actors who have studied acting, so the final choice It is the value of the face.

Mi Yuandan also appeared in the audition for the second male lead, and the gloomy and handsome villain made people feel that his eyes lit up. When Jin Yi asked Zhou Yao for his opinion this time, Zhou Yao also nodded in agreement.

It was 01:30 in a blink of an eye. When the food was delivered, Zhou Yao got up and went to the bathroom. He didn't notice that when he passed the hall, he should have left. After looking at him, he got up and followed.

The two entered the bathroom one after the other. Zhou Yao finished solving the problem and was washing his hands. When he looked up, he saw Mi Yuandan coming out of the next cubicle. His eyes met. The man smiled brightly for an instant, and then bowed shyly with a little embarrassment: " Hello teacher."

Zhou Yao nodded.

Mi Yuandan turned on the water beside him: "The teachers have been busy, they probably haven't eaten yet, it's been hard work."

"Go and eat right away."

"Is it on the fourth floor?"

"Ah."

"The restaurant of this hotel tastes very good. When the teachers were busy, I also ordered two dishes in the restaurant. The taste was very light. It can be seen that the chef has an exclusive way of making the broth, especially their The white oil tripe strips, the teacher must order to taste it, it is fragrant, salty and crispy, and it is no problem to eat it with an empty mouth."

After Zhou Yao washed his hands, Mi Yuandan followed, his small mouth was very good at talking.Walking out of the long aisle in the bathroom, Mi Yuandan took the time to say: "Teacher, do you think my audition just now was okay? In fact, I regretted it very much after I left. I didn't perform as well as I wanted. If there is another chance , I will definitely try to play better.”

When Zhou Yao looked at him, he stepped on the line a little bit, did he want to get inside information from himself?After all, the notice for the retest hasn't been sent out yet.

When Mi Yuandan saw Zhou Yao's eyes, he shut up cleverly immediately, but there was anxiety that couldn't be hidden in his eyes.Of course, such a grass-roots crew is not a good resource, but it is this kind of crew that he dared to audition for male one and male two.If this drama can become popular, his worth will naturally rise, and if he auditions for a big production, he can set his sights on the third male and the fourth male.

Just as the two of them were thinking about it, a man came over with a white backpack in his hand. He had broad shoulders and long legs. He was a clothes hanger figure. His walking posture was very beautiful, and his figure was particularly outstanding.

Zhou Yao looked up, bypassing his face directly, and landed on his hairstyle.

It is the most popular Korean wave slanted bangs nowadays, and Mi New Year's Day is also the same style, but about one is carefully combed by a makeup artist, and the other is made by oneself, so after losing the sense of hierarchy, I only feel that the person walking towards me is wearing a bang on his head. The thick helmet makes it look earthy and vulgar.

"The phone is ringing." Walking to the front, the man handed the bag in his hand to Mi Yuandan and looked at Zhou Yao.

Mi Yuandan's eyes turned cold, and he thanked him backwards while pushing the man away in a hurry.

Zhou Yao's eyes fell on the man's back, and he felt familiar, but he couldn't remember it until the elevator door closed.

Lunch time is half an hour, and it only takes 10 minutes to eat, and the rest of the time is spent discussing the actors who auditioned in the morning.

Generally speaking, everyone is not satisfied. After all, those who have acting skills are not good-looking, and those who are good-looking are just vases, while those who have acting skills and good looks are too short... Yes, we are talking about Mi New Year's Day.

Mi Yuandan is considered to be the most outstanding actor in the audition. Unfortunately, he reported a height of 1.7 meters 1.7. Everyone knows that [-] centimeters of it are due to his heightened insole. The rest is only [-] meters [-], which is really short. .

"It really doesn't work, I'd better contact the brokerage company directly." Jin Yi said.

"Yeah." Zhou Yao nodded. Mi Yuandan did not meet his expectations for the male lead, but the second male lead could be considered, so after a pause, he said, "Mi Yuandan only informed him to audition for the second male lead."

Jin Yi raised his eyebrows and said: "The image doesn't match, but Chuanghui's manager has been praising him recently, pushing him the most. Like I said, maybe Hao Yue can be invited to play a cameo."

Zhou Yao looked at her: "Isn't the second male enough?"

"...This, I'm afraid it won't work."

Zhou Yao looked deeply at Jin Yi, and Jin Yi looked at him. Both of them had their own insistence and were unwilling to compromise. The atmosphere at the dinner table froze for a while, and finally the assistant director made a smooth game, and the two eyes staggered.

Jin Yi has been in the entertainment circle for more than ten years, so she naturally has her own set of rules and standards, sophistication, resource exchange, there are too many ways in it.It's not that Zhou Yao doesn't understand, but he insists on starting from the principle of the work, even if he can't start filming this drama for the time being, he will never compromise!

Back in the meeting room, the atmosphere was a bit heavy, coupled with physical exhaustion and the blow to their hearts from the audition actors, in the end almost everyone leaned back on their seats, folded their arms and watched with a sullen face.

The aura was unusually large, which caused the actors who auditioned to be trembling and made frequent mistakes, so they became even more impatient to watch.

After three o'clock in the afternoon, the staff shouted hoarsely: "No. 27, Bai Lian."

The six people in the conference room, like dumb robots, mechanically took aside the previous actor's resume, briefly scanned the new content, and then looked at the door.

The door opens.

A man wearing a set of gray clothes covered with cloth strips walked in. Zhou Yao looked away from the photo of his resume and recognized him by his "steel helmet" hairstyle.

His name is Bai Lian?
