When I debuted on variety shows, I became an all-rounder in the entertainment industry

Chapter 262 262 Headache Casting
After eating.

Lin Chen took a brief rest at home, and then went out.

He drove to the concert venue.

Lin Chen randomly chose a fan channel and came inside the venue.

What caught my eye was rows of empty audience seats.

The auditorium is divided into three floors.

There are [-] seats on the first floor, [-] seats on the second floor and [-] seats on the third floor, making a total of [-] seats.

The entire auditorium is arc-shaped, and the view from every position is guaranteed.

Only some locations, because the distance is too far, you can only watch the big screen.

Just like Lin Chen now.

The backup dancers who were rehearsing on the stage were just blurred shadows in his eyes, and he couldn't see anything clearly except the color of the costumes.

He is still at the end of the first floor, let alone the second and third floors.

"One two three four... two two three four..."

As Lin Chen slowly approached the stage, the rhythm of the rehearsal coach gradually sounded.

The dance is pretty good, but for Lin Chen who knows nothing.

It's just good looking.

In addition to the backup dancers, there are also some staff members who are adjusting the equipment.

After all, the concert will start the day after tomorrow, so nothing can go wrong.

"Brother Chen..."

Seeing Lin Chen's arrival, everyone stopped what they were doing.

Lin Chen said with relief: "Everyone has worked hard."

"It should be..."

Everyone didn't dare to take Lin Chen's kind words seriously.

Lin Chen asked, "Who is in charge here?"

"Brother Chen, it's me!"

As the words fell, a woman in business attire and a badge came to Lin Chen.

The woman is not young, 40 to [-] years old by visual inspection, although she is not beautiful, she gives people a very capable feeling.

The woman introduced herself: "My name is Zhang Jing, and I am currently working as the director of the project department in Bright."

Although Lin Chen's company is not big, although the sparrow is small and well-equipped, there are quite a few departments that should be there, at most they are a little streamlined.

However, although the staffing has been improved, Lin Chen has never seen it much.

The company has just been established, and it is basically busy from top to bottom.

So the last time Lin Chen went to the company, none of these high-level executives could meet.

The only person he knew was Zhao Kang.

"Thanks for your hard work." Lin Chen said, "In this way, you can count how many people there are in total, then buy some food and drink for everyone, and ask me to reimburse you later."

"Thank you Brother Chen!"

Before Zhang Jing could speak, the others shouted happily.

Can you be unhappy?

Most of them were hired temporarily, not from Lin Chen's company.

Like backup dancers, they have also accompanied many singers in concerts, and even went to some TV shows.

But no matter whether it is the program group or the stars, no one has ever been as generous and close to the people as Lin Chen.

In their impression, these big names will always be aloof.

Except on the stage, I usually don't look at them more often off the stage.

Let alone a treat.

Lin Chen didn't talk too much about the scene, but let Zhang Jing take him to familiarize himself with the venue.

Since Lin Chen doesn't need any fancy appearances, he just needs to get familiar with the venue.

No rehearsal is required at all.

This point was communicated by Lin Chen and Li Xiaohong from the very beginning.

It was also in the process of getting familiar with the venue that Lin Chen learned about it from Zhang Jing.

Tickets for his concert went on sale as early as the tenth.

From opening to selling out, it took less than an hour.

This made Lin Chen feel ashamed.

As my own boss, I don't know when tickets will be bought or when they will end.

But the people in the company can't be blamed for this, because it was Lin Chen who told them not to look for him if they had nothing to do.

He is a typical hands-off shopkeeper. Li Xiaohong and Zhao Kang are in charge of all the company's affairs.

And because the company is relatively streamlined, Zhang Jing and his project department are in charge of planning and development, production management and so on.

The establishment of the Wind Dog project was completed by Zhang Jing and his department.

They are also responsible for the follow-up Chen Qianqian.

Of course, Zhang Jing only played an auxiliary role in this, and the real decision was made by the representatives sent by Xuntian and Li Xiaohong.

The reason why Zhang Jing was involved was to let her know the whole process and progress so that she could report to Lin Chen.

After all, in the final analysis, Bright is just a studio under Xuntian.

It can also be said to be a subsidiary company.

As for Chen Qianqian, apart from the male and female leads being confirmed, the other actors are still pending.

Although the casting director had already invited many actors to audition and went through some simple screenings, Lin Chen was still the one to make the final decision.

This is Xuntian's promise to him.

In other words, Lin Chen had to find time to choose actors.

And it has to be done as soon as possible.

Although the filming of this drama will only start next year, the schedules for really capable actors are already full. If you can't give an answer in a short time, they might cancel the schedules.

Under the leadership of Zhang Jing, Lin Chen familiarized himself with the venue, watched the rehearsal for a while, and then left the venue.

After leaving the venue, Lin Chen drove to the long-lost company again.

"Brother Chen!"

As soon as Lin Chen entered the company, Lili and Xiuxiu, the girls at the front desk, hurriedly got up to greet her.

"Is Mr. Zhao in the company?" Lin Chen nodded and asked casually.

Lili replied: "Mr. Zhao just went out, do you need me to call him back?"

"No need." Lin Chen said, "You ask the project department to send me the actor information of "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" to the office."

"Ok."

Following Lili's response, Lin Chen took the elevator to the office.

"Boom boom boom!"

Not long after Lin Chen sat down, there was a clear knock on the door.

"Enter."

As Lin Chen finished speaking, a handsome young man walked in.

"Brother Chen, here are the documents you want." After speaking, he handed over the folder in his hand.

"Okay, you go down first." Looking at the slightly cramped young man, Lin Chen felt a little helpless.

Is he that scary?
As if he had been pardoned, the young man turned around and ran away.

It looks like a newcomer to the industry.

Maybe he's still a newcomer in society, the kind of fresh graduate.

The young man went out on his front foot, and Lili came in with a coffee on his back foot.

no way.

Assistant Lin Chen went to pick up the newcomer, but there was no one else in the company.

Naturally, only their front desk can do this kind of thing.

"Thank you."

After thanking him, Lin Chen devoted his attention to the materials.

He didn't even notice how Lili got out.

Ordinary characters naturally don't need Lin Chen to make decisions, and those who need him to make decisions are some relatively important supporting roles.

Just like Chen Chuchu, Pei Heng and the like.

Including this role, Lin Chen had to decide a total of six.

But there are more than 30 actors in the data.

Don't look at the large number, but Lin Chen really doesn't know any of them.

It's not that they are all newcomers, it's just that their fame or something is really not that great.

In order to get to know them better, Lin Chen turned on his computer and checked them out.

Check wind reviews, check masterpieces, and even click in to see how their acting skills are.

Before I knew it, one afternoon passed.

Until seven o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Chen only took a rough look at their situation.

To be honest, not so much.

There are more than 30 actors, including an actress named Hu Caihong who is not bad.

This is a middle-aged actress, trying out the role of the castellan.

The information that Lin Chen can find, whether it is reputation or strength, is not bad.

As for the rest, that's it.

But this can't be blamed on other casting directors. It's really limited funds, so we can't invite real talents.

After all, it is just an online drama. If the cost of the film salary is too high, don't even think about making money.

What frustrates Lin Chen the most is that in the profiles of these actors, except for Hu Caihong, he didn't see a name that should appear.

But if you think about it carefully, you can figure it out.

This is so many years in advance, some people are not sure if they have not made their debut, and even if they make their debut, they are probably not well-known.

This gave him some headaches.

In desperation, Lin Chen could only open his WeChat address book.

Looking at the heads of each one, Lin Chen felt even more headache now.

It wasn't until now that he realized that the people he met in Mushroom House were either unaffordable for the show, or lacking in strength.

The most important thing is that even if the strength is lacking, this show can't afford it.

I was quite speechless.

Flipping through the pages, Lin Chen's eyes suddenly stopped on Xia Xue's head portrait.

Although her appearance is a little bit worse, her skills are still quite good.

The most important thing is that she has a heart that is not afraid of hardships and dares to fight hard.

This is a quality that an actor must possess.

Moreover, Xia Xue is not popular now, and the salary is not unacceptable.

Thinking about it, Lin Chen called her directly.

I don't know if it will startle her so suddenly.

"Hello, is that Brother Chen?"

As soon as the voice was connected, an uncertain voice came from the opposite side.

Lin Chen said, "It's me."

"Oh my god." Xia Xue exclaimed, "You can't make a mistake, can you?"

From the tone of her voice, Lin Chen could hear her surprise and surprise.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "That's right, I'm looking for you."

Xia Xue hurriedly asked: "Then why are you looking for me?"

"There's something wrong." Lin Chen cut to the chase and said, "Are you busy now? I have a script I want to talk to you about, but it's just a female supporting role."

"script?"

Xia Xue on the other end was obviously stunned.

She never expected that Lin Chen would suddenly call and say he wanted to give her a script.

Lin Chen asked suspiciously: "What's the matter? Isn't it convenient now?"

"Convenient...convenient, very convenient, do you think we are talking on the phone or am I going to find you?" Xia Xue, who came back to her senses, suddenly became excited.

Lin Chen looked at the time, "It's time for dinner too, have you eaten yet? Why don't you make an appointment for a meal and chat while eating?"

"Ah? Good." Xia Xue almost didn't react.

She has seen script discussions in coffee shops, teahouses, and even hotels, but she has never seen them at the dinner table.
