Huayu, my wife, I support myself

Chapter 240 242. Audition 【Subscription】

The acting skills of actors from drama background are basically good.

Of course,
A good drama performance does not mean a good film and television performance.

This is not a flat push relationship.

But if drama actors are willing to work hard, they can easily find their own way of acting.

the reason is simple.

Because the drama actors' on-site ability is particularly strong.

Standing on an empty stage, without dubbing and editing, can quickly bring emotions.

And quickly bring the audience into the play.

This level of exercise is beyond the reach of many stars.

There is such a saying in the circle.

Drama depends on actors, movies depend on directors, and TV dramas also depend on scripts.
Therefore, this is also one of the reasons why Yang Mi and the others rushed into the film industry and did not want to come out.

Many very powerful actors in the circle have shown themselves in the drama circle.

It seems that the drama circle is the benchmark for testing actors' acting skills.

I have never acted in a drama, so I am ashamed to brag about my acting skills.

Of course, this is a bit of bragging.

But it doesn't hinder the awesomeness of the actors who came out of the drama circle.

For example, Chen Daoming, Pu Cunxin, Xu Zheng, Huang Lei and others.

They have all shown themselves on the stage of drama.

The acting is excellent.

After half an hour,
Uncle Shen left.

Jiang Yu said with a smile: "Director Lu, am I right? His acting skills are fine. If he continues to polish, he might develop his own acting style."

Yu Long and the others also nodded seriously.

Xie Han also blinked a little and said: "Director Lu, our company is short of such an actor, why don't you find a way to recruit him to our company."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "What are you thinking? He is not suitable for our company."

Lu Chen was really right about this.

Uncle Shen can go to the future 200 billion box office actor, and he still has a lot to do with Ma Hua.

Where can he completely liberate his acting talent.

If it was changed to Jiaxing Media.

Maybe it will imprison his acting talent.

Speaking of twist.

Lu Chen was thinking whether to support them or not.

Investing in Mahua, you can make a steady profit without losing money.

Moreover, they seem to need a big boss like themselves now.

Um!It seems that we can make a wave.

The second audition was Dai Ying, who played the original role of Boss Tang.

It was also an actor that Lu Chen had never heard of in his previous life, but looking at his rather strong figure.

Lu Chen faintly leaned towards him.

"Hello Director Lu, hello teachers."

Seeing the four people in front of him, Dai Ying was still quite nervous.

After all, the group of four in front of them is one of the top director teams in Huaguo.

Of course, it was Lu Chen who made him feel particularly nervous.

you could put it that way.

At this stage, except for the actors of the older generation, any other young actors would be more or less nervous standing in front of Lu Chen.

In "Dear Inn",
Nazha was so nervous that he couldn't speak smoothly. One can imagine the position in Lu Chen's heart as a young actor.

Even if they are not much different in age from Lu Chen.

This dean-like majesty does not come from Lu Chen's age, but his status.

"Hello, let's get straight to the point."

The character of Boss Tang is a real walking hormone.

Want to be king in this team,

It can't be done by muscles alone.

In addition to his muscular body, he also needs to be familiar with the laws of society. His keen insight and extraordinary courage have become his bargaining chips for leading the team.

A Ford GT-40 sports car, he can easily find the chip hidden in it; the boss's subordinates made a surprise counterattack, and he noticed an abnormal sound, so he has to show it.

simply put,
It means that the boss has to look like the boss.

Jiang Yu got up and handed the script to Dai Ying: "Give you 10 minutes of preparation time, and perform the plot I circled. I wish you good luck."

Dai Ying nodded.

The script he received was a non-physical performance that required actors to simulate drag racing scenes.

And it's still the kind of emotion that lags behind others, but still doesn't take the other party to heart, and is full of confidence.

"I can."

Eight minutes later, Dai Ying showed a confident expression.

This surprised Lu Chen a little.

real or fake?

learned?

professional?
Otherwise, how could it be so fast.

Others might think 10 minutes is too short.

Still want to do some research.

"Then start!" Yu Long also said curiously.

This guy had the same idea as Lu Chen.

This guy is either clueless or professional.

Looking at Dai Ying's confident appearance,
The latter is more likely.

The smell is also quite good.

That kind of bossy temperament seems to be born with him, and this is also the first time Lu Chen saw him.

Already decided to use him.

It fits his impression of Boss Tang very well.

Even if the other party's acting skills are not good, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, I really don't need much acting skills for this role.

Take a deep breath.

Dai Ying started his performance, his hands imitating the appearance of hitting the steering wheel.

His eyes stared lazily ahead, and glanced to the left and right from time to time.

The expression on his face was not so serious, and there was a slight smile on his face.

It looked incredibly relaxed.

.........

A mediocre performance.

But after Dai Ying's performance, Lu Chen and Jiang Yu were quite satisfied.

Although the performance just now was quite satisfactory.

But not everyone is Uncle Shen, who will surprise people.

Moreover, the space for the performance just now is not very large.

As long as you have acting skills.

Just basic acting.

"Please go back and wait for our notice."

Jiang Yu said: "This is not polite, we will seriously consider the possibility of you playing this role..."

Definitely.

This is the main character,
You won't decide on the spot at all, even if you've already set your sights on him.

We also have to wait for all the audition actors to finish their performances before making an announcement.

The gap between the leading role and the supporting role is worlds apart, and it must not be announced directly in such a hasty manner.

"Thank you."

After the performance, Dai Ying relaxed a lot, and next, Lu Chenyou interviewed some actors.

Many of them were recommended by Huaying and Guangxian Media.

The partners of this movie are these two.

Bright Media has cooperated well with them before, and Lu Chen is also willing to give them a share of the investment.

As for Huaying.

This time, Lu Chen took a fancy to their influence in distribution.

As the two investors of "Fast and Furious 5", they both recommended a lot of actors to Lu Chen.

Of course, just a recommendation,
As for whether to use it or not.

Lu Chen made his own decision.

In addition to the recommended ones, some of them were selected by Jiang Yu.

Yu Long said: "This time the casting is not bad."

Xie Han also nodded: "Under such high requirements from Director Lu, several actors passed the audition directly. Brother Jiang's vision really has nothing to say..."

Lu Chen also nodded slightly.

Among the actors recommended by Jiang Yu, the images of several actors are quite suitable.

The appearance of Jiang Yu also saved Lu Chen a lot of effort.

It also made up for many shortcomings of Lu Chen and his team.

Looking at Jiang Yu who did things in such an orderly manner.

Lu Chen was a little reluctant to let him go.

Ok.

When "Fast and Furious 1" is over, it's almost time for Jiang Yu to start his career.

It's time to be independent.

Became the third director of Jiaxing Media.

But thinking about changing the assistant director again, Lu Chen's head can't help but ache.

The existence of Jiang Yu saved Lu Chen a lot of trouble.

For example, help Lu Chen choose some actors that he has no time to choose.

Ok.

The reason why casting directors in many crews can play with unspoken rules.

However, under Lu Chen's eyes, no one dared to play with these fancy things.

Ok.

Jiang Yu withstood the test.

Lu Chen decided to ask him to become a teacher.

Auditions are over.

……

"Director Lu!"

Yu Long smiled and said, "Director Lu should have decided on the male lead, right?"

Lu Chen nodded slightly.

"Dai Ying looks pretty good." Lu Chen was a little worried: "But..."

"But what..."

"After he became popular, what should he do if he floats away?"

"Ah?" Several people couldn't believe it, and didn't understand what Lu Chen wanted to say for a while.

"I plan to make five films in this series." Lu Chen explained.

This is why Lu Chen is more worried.

In China, the original crew will always be a big problem.

European and American dramas focus on the performance of the works.

Domestic dramas focus on the final result and benefits.

There are many reasons for this.

First of all, the first point is the lack of good scripts.

There are too few good scripts in China, such as "Eight Hundred", "Changjin Lake", and "Shuimen Bridge". Only such scripts can attract actors to continue filming, and can also attract audience attention and continuous pursuit .

The second is that domestic actors lack a unified and formal management system.

The mobility of domestic actors is very high, and the schedule is very full. They often have to go to another crew after filming a few episodes. This has caused the phenomenon of actors getting stuck in scenes, which is also the reason for the bad habit of cutting pictures in some films and TV shows.

Another point is that the professionalism of the actors is not high.

Once domestic actors become famous, they can easily drift away.

That is to play big cards.

Moreover, if a drama is popular with the actors in the drama, their salaries will also increase in price, causing the production cost of the film to rise as well. There are many sky-high salaries that make investment a headache.

therefore.

Lu Chen was a little worried,

If these people became popular because of "Fast and Furious 1".

How about blackmailing him in turn?
"No wonder!"

Jiang Yu took the script and complained: "I also said why there is a 1 after the name of this drama. It turns out that Lu Chen is planning to make a series of films! Also, Lu Chen, you are too good, 1 is not enough!" Before you even started, you thought of 5..."

"Throughout this period of time, my thoughts are flooding... so I think a little more."

Lu Chen smiled and found an excuse casually.

Several people also realized what Lu Chen said.

But don't know what to do for a while?
This is determined by the domestic system, not something they can determine with a few words.

Why can the ugly drama keep the same cast for more than ten years.

First, they are made differently
Ugly film and television dramas focus on the screenwriter, and often the screenwriter is the producer, so that the work is not easy to go wrong.

This is simply not possible in the country.

Although the screenwriter's status has improved a lot compared to his previous life.

But not to that extent.

Moreover, their screenwriter is not one person, but a team.

Teams are less susceptible to individual preferences than individuals.

Usually, it is filming and broadcasting at the same time. Often the broadcast starts after two episodes are filmed. If the response is good, the filming will continue, and if the response is not good, it will be removed from the shelves.

Therefore, what can be filmed all the time is the masterpiece of the big waves washing the sand, and even the plot can be further improved according to the audience's feedback.

Moreover, actors seem to go to work normally, from [-] to [-], with weekends and holidays off. This kind of work and rest time, the salary is still high, no one is willing to change, even if they work for more than ten years, it will be no problem.

There is no way in China, usually concentrated shooting, although actors earn more, but there is no way to continuously shoot, it is too tiring.

The second is that the way actors are paid is different.

Due to different production methods, the salaries of actors in ugly country film and television dramas are not static.

When it first aired,
The main actors may only have tens of thousands of ugly dollars per episode.But as the series hits the air, it may end up with millions of ugly dollars per episode.

This mechanism of increasing salary and popularity at the same time can ensure that the leading actors in the drama will participate in the performance for a long time, allowing actors to devote themselves to a drama for a long time.

Moreover, when the broadcast prospect is uncertain, the production team will not invite well-known actors, which is also conducive to the cultivation of newcomers.

In addition, their contract signing method is also different from domestic ones.

Although at the beginning, they may only plan to shoot one season first, but the crew and actors of the ugly country film and television drama may sign a five-year contract.

Once an actor signs a contract, he must continue acting.If you terminate the contract at will, then don't even think about continuing to work in this industry.

In this way, if the TV series becomes popular, it can ensure that the main actors will continue to shoot, and the performance will not be delayed because the actors take over other scripts.

Similarly, there are no special circumstances, the crew must give priority to the original actors, and actors cannot be replaced at will.

The actors and crew have industry lawyers who specialize in handling these disputes, and the cost to replace any party at will is very high.

This does not work in the country.

In addition, there is a different market environment.

domestic,
The domestic market is huge, and there is no need to export to foreign countries. As long as you pour resources into a person, you can make a profit.

Because whether a film and television drama can be sold well depends mainly on the influence of the actors and actors, that is, whether there are many fans, rather than the quality of the work, so domestic actors are more like temporary workers.

But in general, the domestic market in foreign countries is not large, and you must export better quality works abroad to be successful, so the strength of actors is more important than the appearance of actors.

Similarly, actors must be attached to the crew in order to survive, so actors will not flow so frequently.

Finally, the way of cooperation is also different.

Ugly Country’s film and television derivatives are very mature, and these derivatives include accessories, toys, hand-made models, books, posters, small film and television props, pocket watches, wrist watches, jugs, cigarette cases, pendants and other items.

In particular, film derivatives account for as much as 70% of the total film revenue.

Even in this world, Huaguo is already the world's largest movie box office market, but the derivatives market is almost blank.

And many actors are tied to the income of film and television IP. Generally, popular IP film and television works will have many actors competing to act, even at low salaries.

So once the work is a big hit, unless there are special circumstances, ordinary actors will not quit easily.

In short.

It is basically impossible to trap these actors firmly in China.

Lu Chen couldn't think of a good solution for a while.

Only take one step at a time.

The casting here is in full swing, and the choice of the protagonist naturally appears in the discussion of several people.

Before Lu Chen said it was a series.

Everyone has basically confirmed that it is Dai Ying.

But now I know that Fast and Furious is a series.

There are too many factors to consider.

Therefore, everyone wants to think about it, that is, they want to find an actor who is easier to control.

Newcomers are better,

If that's the case, sign into Jiaxing Media directly.

Sign a 90 year!
It's enough.

However, several people couldn't find a suitable candidate to play the leading role for a while.

By the way, he discussed with Zeng Jia.

Let's see if she has a good idea!

In contrast, Zeng Jia also shook his head helplessly.

In her opinion.

Even if it is constrained by a contract, the variables are still very large.

but!

Zeng Jia felt that Lu Chen and the others were a little too worried.

This is a movie.

Lu Chen is one of the few powerful directors in China, and he is also a director who exports outwards in reverse.

It can be said that they are the top directors in the country.

Unless these celebrities don't want to hang out anymore, why offend him?
Directors like them are always strong in front of actors and stars.

And, by that time.

Jiaxing Media is not a vegetarian either.

Banning a person is not simple, even if the other party is an international superstar, so what?
ask words.

Lu Chen froze for a moment.

Makes sense.

Lu Chen was speechless for a moment.

Yes,

Even if the other party dares to resist him.

Isn't there Jiaxing Media?

They seem to have entered a dead end!

However, although he understood, Lu Chen still didn't focus all on Dai Ying.

There's no harm in having more choices.

In this regard.

Zeng Jia patted her chest and said she had a solution.

"Are you sure?"

Lu Chen's eyes expressed doubts. He has not been idle during this time, and he has also searched online.
But famous stars.

Basically, they are not suitable for the role of Boss Tang, which is why he thinks Dai Ying is very good when he sees Dai Ying at the first sight.

No choice!

For Zeng Jia, she can choose the right actor for herself.

Lu Chen was skeptical.

"That must be possible."

Zeng Jia was very confident. Seeing her posture, Lu Chen thought she had something behind her.

The result was the audition...

To put it simply, it is the whole network audition.

this afternoon.

A piece of news instantly became popular all over the Internet, and spread across the industry at a fast speed: "Lu Chen's new movie is about to start shooting, and the actor's choice is still pending."

The news is not sudden.

However, Lu Chen hadn't done an audition before, so everyone didn't expect much about it.

Now,

Looking forward to it.

As soon as the news came out, people from all directions immediately aroused discussions.

"Is this an audition?"

"Wow, he's done enough after watching "Shark Beach", and now he finally heard the news that he's coming to film. I'm looking forward to it."

"Is the news true?"

"The news is true. Lu Chen is indeed casting actors. The ones who have been confirmed are Yang Mi, Tang Lei, and Shen Teng. The male number one and the female number two have not yet been confirmed. Besides, there are a few more actors. A more important role has not yet been determined."

"Damn, so to speak, my Tang is not the number one male, has my Tang completely fallen out of favor?"

"I just saw my Tang being the male number one in a TV series. I thought I, Tang, was favored again. Who knows, I still haven't..."

"That's right, what's the use of being the leading man in a TV series, the leading man in a movie for Tang Lei..."

"Hurry up and take a picture, I want to see it."

"I look forward to Director Lu's drag racing movie."

"The previous "Initial D" has amazed countless people. I don't know if it will surprise us this time. After all, there are a lot of drag racing movies recently, and I almost vomit after watching them."

"You have to trust Director Lu, Director Lu's movies are quite unconstrained."

……

Not only is it being discussed on the Internet, but also in the industry.

However, the focus of the industry's attention is not that Lu Chen is preparing to shoot a new movie, but Lu Chen's new movie,

Several roles are still undecided.

As a powerful domestic director, no one would ignore Lu Chen's influence.

And Lu Chen is still the undefeated god of war in the circle.

Being in his play is something that countless actors are longing for.

"Help me get an audition!"

A certain actor immediately contacted his agent: "In Director Lu's play, even if it doesn't have a male lead, it's okay to get a small role."

"Who knows someone from Jiaxing Media?"

This is a question asked by the boss of an entertainment company at an emergency meeting: "If you know someone, let's clear up the relationship and get a chance for our company's first brother to participate in Lu Chen's new movie. If he successfully joins, our company will appear. A cash cow!"

"I'm contacting Mr. Zeng."

A top agent told his artist: "I had a good relationship with Zeng Jia before, and I introduced him a lot of resources before. It's not a problem to get an audition opportunity. You have to grasp it well... ..."

……

move on hearing the wind,

These four words are enough to describe the state of the industry's response to Lu Chen's new movie audition opportunities during this period of time.

Even for those superstars.

Lu Chen's new movie also has great appeal.

Andy Lau is the best example.

For those first-tier and second-tier stars, the word Lu Chen undoubtedly has a fatal temptation.

And at this moment,
In Jiaxing Media's office,
Lu Chen felt a little headache, this time the momentum was bigger than the previous "Eight Hundred".

The rhythm of Guangsanwang made him roll his eyes speechlessly,

Properly increase the workload for him.

"My method will definitely work."

After saying this, Zeng Jia's cell phone rang, and she put it in front of Lu Chen to connect it: "Well, it's been a long time... Yes, Director Lu's new play does have quite a few more. The role hasn't been confirmed yet, and the leading actor hasn't been chosen yet... It's ok, let your artist come to Jiaxing to audition."

The phone hangs up.

Zeng Jia looked at Lu Chen showing off.

Lu Chen was speechless again, and said lightly: "Have you forgotten how many friends you had before?"
