This star is wrong

Chapter 493 Finalize the Actor
"Boss, the hired lawyer has contacted five students who have been bullied, and the parents of three students are willing to cooperate and provide relevant evidence. The other two are worried about retaliation, so they are unwilling to have too much contact with lawyers. "

Qiao Yinghong showed Fang Xing the work content reported by the lawyer last week.

Fang Xing flipped through it casually, mainly the scars left by the bullying.

The scars are not big, and most of them are mainly burns.

Judging by the evidence, it doesn't really matter.

In cases like campus bullying, if the bully is a minor and the victim is only minorly injured, it is usually useless to call the police.

In law, for campus bullying to reach the level of sentencing, it needs to cause minor injuries or even disability to the victim before it has a chance to be sentenced.

However, minor injuries as defined by the law actually have to be very serious to meet the standard, basically to the extent of broken hands and feet.

As a result, these photos are infuriating to look at, but not very useful.

"Are there any serious injuries?" Fang Xing asked.

Qiao Yinghong shook her head, and replied: "From the information obtained by the lawyer, it is basically this kind of flesh injury."

She paused, and added: "However, the lawyer specifically went to talk to the high school student who sent the email, and those bullies started to vent their anger on her."

Fang Xing didn't know what to say: "So after transferring to another school, nothing has changed."

Qiao Yinghong shrugged helplessly: "It seems so. What's more, the three bullies still have contact with some people in society."

Fang Xing thought for a moment, and said, "How about this, find a few people who are good at filming, follow those three people, and get direct evidence."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements later." Qiao Yinghong agreed, and then continued to report on the preparations for the new drama.

……

The middle school actor audition for the new drama has basically ended.

I went to the performance departments of seven or eight art colleges and auditioned more than 1000 newcomers.

Afterwards, the crew held a meeting to discuss which newcomers to use.

Video recordings of auditions are kept.

Among the more than 1000 resumes, Fang Xing marked [-] or [-] of them, and then dug out the audition videos of these [-] or [-] newcomers, watched them again, and then discussed them.

"I think this is fine, this boy is quite handsome, suitable for playing the rich second generation." The casting director suggested.

The bullying group in the play has five members, two men and three women, and one of them is a rich second-generation boy who is considered the number two member of the bullying group.

The character does need to be slightly more handsome.

"The image is really okay, I'll keep this as a backup." Fang Xing also felt that this newcomer was okay.

Among the five members of the bullying group, the female leader of the bullying group actually played the most roles, and she is also the most important villain in the play.

The middle school roles of several other people are not very demanding.

But the acting skills of the female head of the bullying group are very demanding. People should feel that this person is very ruthless at a glance, and they don't treat others as human beings.

Fang Xing was in Xu Zhiwen's class and auditioned for a somewhat stunning female student.

When this female student showed that half-smile expression to the camera, Fang Xing thought it was too appropriate.

After the actors of the five members of the bullying group were determined, it was time to choose the actress in middle school.

I re-watched all the actors who auditioned for the heroine in middle school, and one or two were okay, but they were a little bit dissatisfied.

Every time Fang Xing watched the audition video, the female student from the normal university would involuntarily appear in his mind.

Obviously this female student from a normal university has no acting skills, but her appearance at that time emerged in her mind. Compared with these acting students who came from majors, she didn't know who to choose for a while.

"Director Fang, can't these two work? I think both of them are suitable." Zhang Yigao asked.

"No, after the audition that day, I met a female student at the door. I think her image is unexpectedly suitable. Her innocent eyes are easy to remember." Fang Xing said.

"Is there an audition video?" Zhang Yigao was puzzled, and began to flip through the resume in front of him.

"No video recorded." Fang Xing shook his head.

"Does Director Fang want to use that female student?" Zhang Yigao asked.

"I'm not sure yet, but I can come here and audition again to see if I have potential." After thinking about it, Fang Xing decided to give it a try.

Although they are not from majors, these newcomers are all students in school, and their acting skills are just like that.

It's also because they are middle school students, they can be regarded as acting in their true colors, and the requirements for acting skills are actually not that high.

Fang Xing took out the A4 paper with the contact information written on it, handed it to the casting director, and said, "You tell her to come and audition again."

The casting director didn't delay, he took out his phone and called.

After asking a few words, the casting director put down his phone and said with a surprised face: "I asked her to come here now, and she asked if we will reimburse the travel expenses."

"Reimbursement of travel expenses?" Fang Xing also showed a puzzled expression.

Take a taxi from Donghai Normal University, and it costs about 40 yuan.

"She said that she went to Yuehu Lake with her classmates to participate in an event. There is no shuttle bus back at this point, and it costs 300 yuan to take a taxi for a round trip." The casting director explained.

Two 300 yuan does not seem like much, but for students, it is not necessarily so.

If you are a work-study student, two or three hundred yuan is almost half a month's food expenses.

"Reimbursement, you can directly add her WeChat and forward it to her." Fang Xing confirmed.

After it was done, everyone continued to discuss the casting.

After about five or ten minutes, a female student came in at the front desk.

"Hi, director." An Xiaoran bowed and greeted her as soon as she entered the door.

Fang Xing stood up and said, "Come here."

Then take her to the rehearsal room next door.

"Call the acting teacher over and see if it works." Fang Xing whispered to the assistant director.

It didn't take long.

The acting teacher comes in.

Fang Xing introduced: "This is the acting teacher hired by the company, Hao Yilei."

Hao Yilei is an acting teacher hired by Ark Culture from the Film Academy. When filming a new drama, sometimes the acting teacher needs to teach some acting experience.

Hao Yilei is not only an acting teacher, but also has filmed many TV series, and can handle any type of female role.

"Hello, teacher." An Xiaoran hurriedly bowed in greeting.

"Hello." Hao Yilei looked at the girl, and then whispered to Fang Xing.

Fang Xing said: "Her image fits the role of the new drama, but she is not from a major, so I asked you to test her to see if she can do it."

"What do you want to play?" Hao Yilei nodded and asked directly about the script.

"Try a crying scene."

Fang Xing said, and told a scene: "Now, you are a middle school student who is being bullied by your classmates, and you are hiding from the bully at school, and you are even about to drop out of school.

"But the bully couldn't find you at school, went to your house and smashed the piggy bank you've been saving for years.

"The change you've been saving for years isn't even as much as the bully spends on a meal.

"They pick up rolls of change from broken piggy banks and laugh at you wantonly.

"Just play this part, you cry."

An Xiaoran was a little dazed, she had never studied acting, she didn't know how to start, and there was no piggy bank around.

Hao Yilei saw that the girl was a blank sheet of paper, and said, "Look at my hand."

Holding a non-existent piggy bank in both hands, she lifted it up and threw it on the ground: "Boom! The piggy bank is broken, act!"

An Xiaoran opened her eyes and looked at the floor with an aggrieved expression. She wanted to cry but couldn't.

Seeing her performance, Hao Yilei was a little anxious, and guided from the side: "It doesn't matter if the tears don't come out, but you have to express your grievances and anger."

An Xiaoran tried her best to act, but it still didn't fit the situation.

After a few tries.

Hao Yilei put one hand on her hip, thought for a while, and asked, "Can I hit you?"

"what?"

An Xiaoran was stunned for a moment, not understanding what it meant.

"Is it okay?" Hao Yilei asked again.

An Xiaoran nodded in confusion.

Afterwards, Hao Yilei raised her hand and slapped her across the face.

The force was not heavy, but it made a sound.

An Xiaoran was stunned for a moment, then raised her hand to cover her slapped face, her eyes were full of doubts and grievances, and she even wanted to cry with a sore nose.

"Hey! That's right, this is the expression, remember this expression." Hao Yilei praised.

Fang Xing also felt that her expression after being beaten was very natural, very much in line with her state after being bullied.

However, looking at her like this, she was really stunned.

Fang Xing explained: "An Xiaoran, you are here to audition for a role in a TV drama, which means that you are an actor now, if there is a scene where you are beaten, the actor will be beaten, do you understand?"

An Xiaoran was a little confused at first, but soon understood what was going on.

She nodded and replied, "I understand, I just..."

Hao Yilei raised her hand and interrupted: "It's okay, the expression you covered your face just now was very natural, but you are a piece of white paper, it will be very hard to become an actor. You have to think clearly."

After she finished speaking, she turned to communicate with Fang Xing.

"Looking at the performance, it can be taught, but it's hard to say whether the shooting is smooth or not."

Fang Xing nodded and said: "Understood, try it first, if it doesn't work, there is still time to change."

Since the heroine didn't have many roles in middle school, if this An Xiaoran can't act well, it's not difficult to change the filming.

After thinking it over, Fang Xing said to her, "Are you sure you want to take part in the role? Playing the heroine in middle school."

"Really? Can I really do it?" An Xiaoran's eyes widened.

"Yes, if you are sure you want to act, you can prepare to sign the contract." Fang Xing affirmed.

"Hmm... Are you paid?" An Xiaoran was a little embarrassed, but decided to ask.

Fang Xing smiled, but thinking that she had to ask if she could be reimbursed for the two 300 yuan taxi fare, she knew that her financial conditions were not very good.

"Of course, but not too many."

Fang Xing called the assistant director and arranged: "Take her to see the contract, the salary will be calculated as the top special actor."

Calculated according to the special actors, the ordinary salary is about 1000 to 2000 yuan a day.

Senior special actors will be paid more than 5000 yuan a day.

According to her roles, she can get about [-] to [-] for filming.

For a female student who is distressed by the taxi fare of 300 or 4 yuan, [-] to [-] yuan is already a huge sum of money.

An Xiaoran was very excited when she heard that there was so much money.

Originally, she liked to watch Fang Xing's TV series, plus girls love to fantasize, and sometimes wondered what it would be like to be the heroine.

A week ago, she accidentally saw that the new drama of Ark Culture was auditioning actors, and the audition location was next door to their school.

She just wanted to give it a try, but she didn't expect to be chosen.

……

After the actors in middle school were finalized, it was the turn of the other main roles to be cast.

In the storyline of the heroine's adulthood, the five members of the bullying group have become what they dreamed of being.

The female leader of the bullying group became a weather anchor and married a high-class construction company president, which can be said to have reached the pinnacle of life.

Such a character with a noble and beautiful appearance but an ugly heart has very high requirements for acting skills.

Even the requirements for acting skills are no lower than that of the heroine.

The heroine has been finalized, and there is no problem with finding Song Li to play it.

However, the female leader of the bullying group is a villain, which will make many female stars repel.

The female leader of the bullying group not only requires acting skills, but also a noble and beautiful appearance, but also the ugly and dirty inside.

This kind of request is more difficult than finding an actor for the heroine.

After all, it is already hard to find actresses who are both beautiful and good at acting.

An actress with acting skills and good looks, why doesn't she take the leading role?To take on the role of the female villain?
Those who are capable of playing this role can definitely play the heroine of other dramas.

Most of the actors who are willing to take this role can't support it.

……

Of course, there are still many actors who are willing to participate in the new drama of Ark Culture.

In the hands of the casting director, there was a stack of resumes for actors.

However, either the acting skills can't support it, or it's not beautiful enough.

There are a few suitable ones left. After communication, I am not very willing to take this role.

Fang Xing was not in a hurry, and asked the casting director to continue looking.

Noon today.

Fang Xing's phone rang, and when he picked it up, it was a message from Lin Yingxue.

Lin Yingxue: "The new drama has been in preparation for so long, is there any role I can play?"

In fact, Lin Yingxue's agency had contacted the film crew very early on, but now Lin Yingxue's salary is too high, and the role is not suitable.

Fang Xing replied with a message: "There is still a female number two, but a villain, the kind who will be cut off by the audience after the broadcast. Dare to act?"

Lin Yingxue sent a cute expression: "I am so pure and kind, does the director really think I can play the villain?"

Fang Xing felt that even if she was willing, her agency would not agree.

After "Hurricane" became popular, there were too many film and television companies looking for her to film, and she had plenty of scripts to choose from.

Not to mention, she was also nominated for the Eagle Award for Best Actress. Although she knew from the beginning that she was accompanying her, it was already an honor to be nominated for the Eagle Award.

Proof that her acting skills have been recognized.

Fang Xing directly replied to her message: "Then there is no more, and you may not be able to play the role of the female villain. The requirements for acting skills are even higher than those of the first female villain."

Lin Yingxue was a little surprised when she heard this.

Who is the female number one?
Song Li.

This female villain's acting skills are even higher than that of the female lead, which is too exaggerated.

Lin Yingxue asked: "Impossible. Didn't the female first finalize Teacher Song Li?"

Fang Xing replied: "Forget it, I won't tell you, there is still work."

Lin Yingxue hurriedly asked: "Why don't you send me a copy of the script, I'll take a look."

Fang Xing didn't mind, and passed a script to her.
