Entertainment starts with variety shows

Chapter 128
But before starting his own business, Fang Jing had to set a small goal, such as earning tens of millions for a movie.

It's best to have countless substitutes, so you don't have to go into battle yourself.

……

The next day, there were a lot of unfamiliar vehicles in the parking lot of Huanrui World, and there were many cars from north to south according to the license plate.

The lobby on the first floor of the company was full of people, chatting in twos and threes, which was more lively than the Chinese New Year meeting.

Fang Jing was startled when he entered the door, and whispered to the girl at the front desk: "Xiaoyuan, what's the situation? There are so many people."

Glancing left and right, the receptionist said in a low voice, "Interviewing and casting, there are more than a dozen brokerage companies, most of them are newcomers who have just signed contracts, and some are single households and retail investors. They smell fishy."

Fang Jing knew it well. Apart from male and female leading actors and extras, there were at least dozens of supporting actors in a drama. It was impossible for Huanrui World and iQi Video to include all their own artists.

It's fine to pick a few important roles, and the appearance of eating should not be too ugly. With so many colleagues, there is room for them to eat.

If every company only uses its own people to make dramas, then everyone will come to this set, and the market will be chaotic.

"Front desk! Come a staff member, there is no water."

A few young people with yellow hair and suits and leather shoes were talking and laughing, and suddenly shouted towards Fang Jing.

"Brother Fang Jing, I'm off to work."

Madoka nodded apologetically, and walked over quickly on her high heels.

"Excuse me, please wait a few minutes, I will ask the security to bring water."

"Hurry up, I'm so thirsty."

"Ok."

Fang Jing was not in a hurry to go upstairs, he just wandered around in the hall, and he found something very interesting after walking around.

Generally, those with a brokerage company are sitting, and they occupy several sofa areas. Artists without a brokerage company either stand or lean against the wall.

Those who are in their junior year of acting school or who are about to graduate are a little nervous, holding their resumes and not saying a word, because no one talks to them.

The three circles are distinct.

No, it should be four circles. Really capable actors are not used at all, and the roles have already been determined.

"Staff, is there any water? There are no cups."

"Wait, come right away."

There were only two people at the front desk, serving tea and water after busy work. Some artists asked for paper, some asked for the bathroom, some asked for the parking lot, and some asked when the interview would start, which made them sweat profusely.

Xiaoyuan at the front desk who was chatting with Fang Jing couldn't wait for the security guards, so she had to go to the storage room to carry the water herself. As soon as she put it on her shoulders, the clean suit was wet with residual water stains, and even covered with dust.

Wearing high heels, she finally carried her to the water dispenser. She glanced left and right, but none of the big men would help.

Fang Jing couldn't stand it anymore, rolled up his sleeves and walked behind her, "I'll do it."

"No need, I can do it myself."

"Forget it, seeing how thin you are, how can you have such strength."

"Crack!"

Fang Jing held the water in one hand and dragged the bottom of the bucket with the other, and put it on the water dispenser with ease.

When I put it down, I accidentally splashed water on my hand, flicked it lightly, and dripped a few drops on the suit of the person next to me.

"Hey! Did you splash water on my clothes?"

The man became angry in an instant, and the suit was wet when he just bought it, and the most important thing was that he also got a few drops on his face.

"Sorry, I didn't mean it." Fang Jing apologized.

"Be careful next time." The young man frowned. He couldn't get mad in the crowd, and he would have shouted at him in normal times.

Disdainfully looking at Fang Jing's background, the young man murmured, "A security guard is dressed like a dog, and he even wears a watch like others."

Xiaoyuan who happened to be next to her changed her face when she heard this, she lowered her head and retreated from the crowd, caught up with the scene in front of the elevator, and quietly said what the young man scolded him.

Fang Jing took a look and sneered in his heart, there are so many people these days.

After all, he is not very popular and cannot reach the first-tier level. If Li Yifeng is here, a lot of people will come up to say hello.

"Yeah! Got it, please ask me what his name is."

……

At nine o'clock, the director, assistant director, Xu Shi, and producer of Notes on Tomb Raiders sat together, each holding a stack of materials in their hands.

"I disagree with Editor Xu's statement. Fang Jing is a singer and has never acted. Zhang Qiling is not suitable for him."

"Besides, he is too young. I don't think this role should be considered after the [-]s. Firstly, his appearance is too tender, and secondly, his acting skills are not enough."

The one who spoke was the assistant director, who was sent by iQi Video. The role of Zhang Qiling is different from the average male supporting role, and is very attractive. Everyone wants to be an artist.

The water-based pen tapped the table lightly, Xu Shi glanced at the assistant director, "Director Qiu is too worried, I wrote the book, I don't know if it's suitable or not?"

"Acting skills are important, but I think it's more important to match the image and temperament. Zhang Qiling is in his twenties, and he is not much different from Fang Jing. He doesn't need makeup and is just right."

"The actor you recommended is too masculine and can't express Zhang Qiling's icy beauty."

Xu Shi would not have dared to say this yesterday, there was no room for him to speak on the table, but now it is different, the investment contract has been signed, at least he is one of the investors, and he speaks with more confidence.

The producer of Huanrui World was taken aback. She didn't expect Xu Shi to recommend their company's artists.

Today, several people were discussing the role of Zhang Qiling. The three major investors, the director, and the entire leadership of the crew are here. Whoever says who is who, and interviews are all nonsense.

Ordinary supporting roles are okay, but fiery characters can't be considered outsiders.

This is also the reason why many old actors can only play supporting roles in soy sauce. So what if your acting skills are good?If you are not from my company, why should you support you?
My own children are still waiting to be fed, so how can I serve the main course to outsiders? How much money do I have to spend?
"Ahem! I think Editor Xu is right." The producer suppressed what he was going to say.

They Huanrui World invested heavily and took an important role. It stands to reason that they shouldn't grab Zhang Qiling again, and today they are just walking around.

But Xu Shi is willing to praise their people, why not do it, just climb up the ladder.

"Editor Xu, Director Qin, is it wrong for you to do this?" The assistant director of Aiqi Video turned pale.

One family sells two families, and Huanrui World has played a good hand.

I decided on the protagonist before, and then found them to invest, and now let Xu Shi's company take a stake, and then let him mention the role, isn't this bullying?

"Director Qiu, I really didn't know that Editor Xu would propose Fang Jing to play this role." The producer of Huanrui World smiled wryly, "Maybe Fang Jing is really suitable."

Fit ass!Deputy director Qiu wanted to scold someone, but what about fooling around with ghosts?If Huanrui and Xu Shi are not tricky, even beating him to death will not do.

……

"Why don't you let us in?"

"How long has it been? Could it be that the director didn't come?"

"Why don't you call and ask?"

The people inside were noisy, and the people outside were anxious to catch the ants on the hot pot, and the cleaning lady cleaned the trash can twice, and they were all drinking glasses.

The bucket of water I carried before has bottomed out.

The interviewers who were talking and laughing began to fidget, but all the agents who had a relationship were secretly calling to ask inside information.
