Full-time actor

Chapter 55 [55] I work hard!

"Brother Yu, I'm going to audition soon. If you see someone with a sign on his chest, remember to say hello!"

"Lower your posture..."

Early the next morning, after Chen Yu and Ji Qiannan met, the agent was driving the car while telling him some precautions for the audition.

Yu Geer is the "exclusive stage name" she gave Chen Yu.

Chen Yu was a little shocked by this title, but he also knew that managers usually call their own artists by their own nicknames.

What about Brother Xun and Young Master Kun... Compared to Young Master Chen and Yu Shao, Brother Yu is already very restrained.

The more you are brother, the better you are. People in the old imperial capital like to call you this. It is more acceptable than dad, zaizai, and nannan.

"Well, I know, Sister Qian!"

Chen Yu is very clear about the audition process.

After all, I have experienced it many times in my previous life.

"They didn't say which role, they just gave you a quota, so you need to fight for the role!"

"You don't need me to tell you any more about this, right?"

The roles of the characters are the first male, the second male, the first male is Ichiban, and so on.

In 02, actor ranking was still a very internal term, but 10 years later, many fans of celebrities knew this title, and then the fandom began to divide.

There was a lot of fighting over the reputation of a poster.

Let’s compete with others for the C position.

"Oh, by the way, have you read the original work?"

"Oh, I really haven't done business for a long time, I forgot to tell you, this "Golden Fen Family"——"

What Ji Qiannan originally wanted to say made her smile after seeing the two books with yellow covers dangling in the hands of the co-pilot Chen Yu.

"Not bad, have you done your homework?"

"Well, Zhang Henshui's "The Golden Fen Family"!"

"I just stayed up all night watching it last night!"

Women have Qiong Yao and men have Hate Water.

It is about the status of writer Zhang Henshui in the film and television industry.

"The Golden Family" is his famous work, and then he launched "The Cause of Laughter", "The Rich Man" and other novels, which were later adapted into TV series of the same name.

"When you see it, I feel relieved!"

"Although the competition for the role this time is quite fierce, Sister Qian, I am optimistic about you!"

""Golden Family" has just completed nationwide auditions and selected a large number of new actors and actresses..."

"I've helped you through the back door!"

Although Ji Qiannan said this, Chen Yu could tell that she meant her words of comfort.

This audition quota is probably a favor, and may be prevaricated casually by the director or management, which is just a formality.

But it doesn't matter, Chen Yu will try his best to give it a try no matter what.

If you don't try, you'll never have a chance.

Give it a try, what if there is a miracle?
In his previous life, Chen Yu had encountered such a miracle; it was also that role that won him the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor.

Therefore, opportunities must be seized and left to those who are prepared.

……

As the car sped along, Ji Qiannan talked a lot to Chen Yu, and Chen Yu basically listened to her.

"Here we are, this is it!"

Ji Qiannan pointed at the retro buildings in front of her, and the corner of Chen Yu's mouth twitched.

When I asked where it was, it turned out to be the 798 Art District, a favorite area for cultural people in the imperial capital.

At the moment, 798 is obviously not as famous as it was in later generations, and it looks very old and dilapidated, with a very literary and bourgeois atmosphere.

To put it bluntly, this place is quite pretentious.

Unlike later generations, commercialization was very serious and it became a tourist attraction.

Nowadays, 798 is where cultural people and artists like to gather.

After turning many corners, Ji Qiannan led Chen Yu to a low bungalow built of yellow bricks. Lively sounds suddenly came from the house.

The audition place arrived, and there were quite a lot of people.

After all, the drama "Golden Pink Family" has become very popular in the past six months; both online and in many entertainment news, there are reports about it.

"Take the number first!"

"Come in when your number is called!"

Ji Qiannan helped Chen Yu get a number plate, which was completely different from the audition Chen Yu imagined.

The actor auditions in 02 seemed noisy and chaotic, and you actually needed to get a number plate. In later generations, it was very formal, and you would be sent an audition notice first, along with some corresponding role information.

After matching, you just go to the designated location for the audition according to the time.

Chen Yu randomly chose a place to stand. Yes, there were no seats yet, and many people were standing there waiting.

The back room should be the audition room, and an assistant would come out to call people every once in a while.

"A male, a female, these should have been determined!"

Chen Yu didn't see Chen Kun or Dong Jie, who were the male and female protagonists of "The Golden Family", and he didn't see any famous movie stars, even those who would be famous in later generations.

If the male and female protagonists are not determined, there will definitely be many movie stars competing for this role.

If you can't see it, that can only mean - it's an unofficial decision.

The audition was also agreed upon internally.

However, this kind of role obviously has nothing to do with Chen Yu. He is not famous at all, and the male lead is just whimsical. He just wants to play the kind of role that lasts for 1-10 episodes, preferably one that can still arouse repercussions after it is aired.

That Ouyang Yujian is very good.

He is the teacher of the heroine Leng Qingqiu played by Dong Jie. She loves Leng Qingqiu, but ultimately loses to the male protagonist Jin Yanxi, and her identity is even more complicated. He is actually the illegitimate son of Jin Yanxi's father, Jin Quan.

He has both character and story, and can be considered a tragic character.

Chen Yu is still more fond of him.

There are almost 5 episodes in the play, and Chen Yu mainly comes for this role.

Of course, the second male lead Liu Chunjiang was more praised, but it was difficult for Chen Yu to perform this role.

His actor, Chi Shuai, was standing not far from Chen Yu. He had a straight figure and was very elegant and delicate.

He also came to the audition and was waiting patiently for his number to be called. This is probably the role he was auditioning for.

The current Chi Shuai is slightly better than Chen Yu in the entertainment industry. He has only acted in one TV series, but that role is much better than Chen Yu's Asahiko Juro in "Toward the Republic". He is the fourth male lead. Half a newbie.

"The Golden Family" is the second film for which he auditioned.

However, he has other qualifications. He graduated from the Imperial Dance Academy, is a well-known model in the industry, has signed a contract with a group, and is the male host of the children's program "Little Dragon Club" on Imperial TV.

The blessing of so many titles is undoubtedly a bonus for him in this audition.

Chen Yu probably has an advantage just because he came first in the two exams of Beidian University, but this is all based on paper strength.

The final determination of the role still depends on the performance at the audition.

"That guy is so handsome. Did you come alone?"

"Have you not signed with a brokerage company yet?"

Ji Qiannan also took a liking to Chi Shuai standing there at a glance. It must be said that his appearance was the same as Chen Yu's.

Sunny and refreshing.

A corner collision is likely.

It means that two people may have similar temperament and image in the eyes of the director. It depends on who can win the director's favor.

"Number 131!"

The assistant girl opened the door and shouted there.

Chi Shuai, who stood a little shyly at the waiting sign, immediately waved to the young lady: "I, it's me!"

He is No. 131, Chen Yu is No. 142, and there are 10 people in front of him, both men and women.

"Don't be nervous!"

"Just perform well and show your strength in the first and second tests!"

Ji Qiannan was beside Chen Yu, cheering him on. Chen Yu was a little dumbfounded. This agent was good at everything, but he was too wordy.

She only found out on the phone last night that Chen Yu ranked first in the Beidian re-examination, which made her extremely happy.

Soon, Chi Shuai walked out of the back room with a smile on his face.

When passing by Chen Yu, he glanced at Chen Yu subconsciously, probably thinking that only the two of them were good enough here, but he quickly withdrew his gaze and walked outside.

"There are nine more people and it's your turn!"

Ji Qiannan reminded Chen Yu in his ear, and Chen Yu grinned: "Sister Qian, why do I feel that you are more nervous than me?"

"Ah? Is there any?"

"Have you not had any newcomers audition for a long time? Are you a little unsure?"

"Relax and trust me!"

"..."

Chen Yu's backhand attack almost made Ji Qiannan unable to turn around.

This guy, in turn, comforted me?

Do I need comfort?

No, you need to!
Chen Yu's words really woke her up, and Ji Qiannan was really nervous.

After all, she didn't have any actors auditioning for more than five years. She had no idea what the world had become. She had begged a former friend to get this spot.

As for whether I can choose it, it’s up to me!

Anyway, Ji Qiannan has no foundation at all.

Chen Yu listened to the number plates one by one. Finally, the assistant opened the door to the back room and called out Chen Yu's number plate.

Number 142!
"Sister Qian, I'm going!"

"Come on, whether your sister Qian can turn over or not, it's up to you!"

Ji Qiannan suddenly put her hands on Chen Yu's arm and held it tightly.

At that moment, Chen Yu felt the fragile side of the woman in front of him.

"Well, I'll try my best!"

Chen Yu did not promise anything. After nodding heavily towards Ji Qiannan, he strode towards the audition room.

At this moment, he held his head high and was extremely confident.

Regardless of whether you can be selected or not, you must have momentum.

"Whoo~~~"
