During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 588 The girl who is getting better at auditioning
Early in the morning on the 23rd, Wei Jin came to the company and saw that there were quite a few RVs and nanny cars parked downstairs.

After all, most of those who came to audition this time are first- and second-tier actors in the circle, and they have strong financial strength, especially when the pay is getting higher and higher.

Of course, there are also some media reporters who are waiting here to get first-hand information.

Wei Jin didn't stop at the door, but went straight to his special elevator and headed all the way to the 8th floor where the audition was held.

As soon as I walked out of the elevator, I saw many actresses waiting on both sides of the corridor on this floor.

Some of them are already preparing simple makeup and changing clothes.

"Mr. Wei."

"Director Wei."

"boss."

Amidst various greetings, Wei Jin nodded all the way and walked into the conference room. Guo Fan and Chen Xi were already in their seats.

"Boss, shall we start now?"

Chen Xi asked as he distributed the information. Wei Jin looked at his watch and nodded.

"Okay, let's get started."

The audition today is for a female role.

There are only two female characters in the drama "Operation Mekong". Although they don't have many roles, as Chen Xi said, they can be regarded as embellishments in the male drama.

Especially the female police officers in the special operations team must have a heroic and valiant air.

The first person to come in was Li Xiaoran, who greeted with a smile.

"Director Lin, Director Guo, Producer Chen"

"Ms. Li, long time no see."

Some people can stand the test of time, and Li Xiaoran is one of them, both in appearance and figure.

She looks no different now than when she auditioned for "Those Years".

Even because of the passage of time and changes in fashion trends, Wei Jin feels that this beauty known as "Dabai" looks even more charming with her current makeup.

"Ms. Li, please perform according to this paragraph. You have three minutes to prepare."

As soon as Wei Jin finished speaking, a staff member came forward and handed over a piece of paper that described the scene, emotions, and lines.
Fifteen minutes later, Li Xiaoran respectfully said goodbye and left. She only auditioned for this one role.

It’s not that I look down on the second female lead, but her age is not suitable for the role.

"Tell me about it." Wei Jin started.

"She meets the physical requirements, but she's a little too weak and lacks a bit of ruthlessness. The team doctor of the special operations team is also a female police officer, not a pretty face."

Guo Fan said incisively that Li Xiaoran’s screen image is mostly like this.

Although Li Xiaoran has good dancing skills, she still lacks the ability to play a policewoman.

"It's indeed inappropriate." Chen Xi also followed up.

"Okay then, first one, eliminated."

Most of those who can audition for the leading female role are big names in the industry, such as the second one, who is another old acquaintance, Qin Lan.

Since breaking up with Lu Chuan, Qin Lan has become very career-oriented, and her resume shows that she has starred in several TV series this year.

Unfortunately, she has had few film resources since her debut, and her performance is not very good.

The person had just left and Wei Jin hadn't even opened his mouth yet, but Guo Fan directly denied it, and his words were quite mean.

"He lacks explosive power, his acting skills are poor, and his face is not suitable for the big screen."

After a while, Kan Qingzi walked in and smiled sweetly at Wei Jin.

Unfortunately, after the performance, Wei Jin felt that she was not as good as the previous two, so he asked her to try the role of the second female lead.

"Kan Qingzi, to be determined."

"Hao Lei, to be determined."

As the actors came in one by one, there were all kinds of people.

"How did she get selected as one of the Four Little Flowers? Her lines are not good, her acting is not good, and she can't even manage simple expressions. It's a mess!"

When Yang Ying was auditioning, everyone was kind enough to give Huang Xiaoming some face and didn't say anything harsh to him.

Including Chen Xi, they were just laughing on the side.

But after she left, Guo Fan immediately started to complain. Wei Jin had never expected that this guy was so cruel. He was almost as bad as Lu Yang.

"Maybe Brother Xiao Ming is just trying it out?"

Chen Xi said this with a smile, but in his heart he was lamenting Huang Xiaoming's choice.

The next person to come in was Song Yi.

Logically speaking, after taking Song Yi's sugar-coated bullet, Wei Jin should have directly decided on the role, at least the second female lead.

But this girl's beauty trap came a little late, so she could only follow the process.

If she performs appropriately, it is not impossible for her to play the leading female role.

Unfortunately, although Song Yi has been training in the drama club of the People's Art Theatre for a long time and her acting skills are indeed good, action scenes are her weakness, and her temperament does not quite fit the image of a policewoman.

After the process was completed, Wei Jin turned and looked at the two of them.

"Tell me about it?"

Although Wei Jin can make the final decision, it would be very impolite to ask others to help with the audition and have the final say.

"It's the same problem. The leading female role is a little bit lacking in ruthlessness, but the second female role should be fine."

Guo Fan gave affirmation to the actresses he had worked with and spoke more tactfully.

"I think so too."

"Well, if there's nothing better, let's just pick her."

The audition is still going on, but the pace is very fast, about one person every fifteen minutes.

In fact, an experienced director can tell whether an actor is suitable or not just by taking a glance at the actor.

Those rumors out there, such as that after the audition, one has to consider for ten days, half a month or even a month, are basically fishy.

The most likely purpose is to leave time for the actors, coordinate the relationships behind the scenes, and exchange interests.

For example, in Liu Yifei's "The Return of the Condor Heroes", the male lead had not been chosen for a long time, and it was Huang Xiaoming who used his superpowers and connections.

At this time, the news about the audition for "Operation Mekong" had been going on for most of the day.

Photos of actresses and female artists who came for auditions entering and leaving Shanhe Media were leaked.

But no one knows that Wei Jin is having a headache over the role of the leading actress, because he hasn't seen any particularly eye-catching ones.

The performances of Liu Tao, Zhang Jingchu and others were a little lacking.

Yin Tao and Chen Shu are quite suitable for the role of policewoman, but the special operations team, which needs to be on the front line or even cross-border to chase criminals, seems a bit far away. Zhang Ziyi's acting skills are indeed good, but her figure and temperament are not quite suitable.

It was not until they saw Li Bingbing, wearing work clothes, short hair and no makeup, walk in that Wei Jin, Chen Xi and Guo Fan's eyes lit up. It really looked like that!
"Sister Bingbing, did you cut your hair short on purpose?"

Chen Xi asked in surprise. In the previous stills of Transformers 4, she still had smoky makeup and long hair.

"Well, Director Wei's play, I have to be fully prepared, and I also want to seize the opportunity, hehe."

Li Bingbing responded with a smile, and was very satisfied with his sister's suggestion.

Although she has become internationally famous, and the female character in this play does not have many scenes, Wei Jin's films are different.

By cooperating once, at least a relationship can be established. She doesn't expect to be promoted like Fan Bingbing, but it will be helpful at certain times. After all, she is also a person who has embarked on the road of capital.

After listening to Li Bingbing's explanation, everyone present was impressed.

Female police officers, especially those in special operations teams that go abroad to handle cases, are unlikely to have long hair. Previously, several actresses wore wigs and makeup to try to better fit the role.

But no one was like Li Bingbing, who directly cut his hair into short, manly styles.

Regardless of whether she is putting on a show or not, this attitude leaves a good impression on people.

"Okay, Sister Bingbing, please prepare for the next performance."

Within ten minutes, Li Bingbing completed three audition shots, and Wei Jin saw satisfaction in the eyes of Guo Fan and Chen Xi.

"Ms. Li, the company will call you if there is any news later."

Although he was very satisfied with her, the audition had not yet ended and Wei Jin could not finalize her on the spot. He just gave her a very high score on her resume.

Li Bingbing was also very clear about this rule and thanked him politely.

"Okay, thank you Director Wei."

In one day, Wei Jin had gone through all the actresses and had a basic idea of ​​what the roles were.

In the evening, he received a call from Huang Xiaoming. Without even guessing, Wei Jin knew that he wanted to ask about Yang Ying's situation.

"To tell you the truth, there's no hope."

They had known each other for so many years and had a good relationship, so there was no need for Wei Jin to hide anything and he expressed his feelings directly.

As Chen Xi had guessed, Huang Xiaoming himself didn't hold out much hope.

"It's as expected. Once she gets rejected by a big director, she'll know her level. Thank you Director Wei for your trouble. Wait until my crew finishes filming and we'll have dinner together."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Wei Jin held his head in his hands, leaned against the head of the bed, and continued to enjoy Song Yi's attentive service.

About ten minutes later, Wei Jin patted Song Yi's pretty face.

"Xiaoyi, it's time to serve dinner."

Upon hearing this, Song Yi slowly let go of Wei Jin. There was a hint of charm on his pretty face, which was flushed from holding his breath.

"Brother, are you so anxious?"

"hehe."

Wei Jin chuckled silently. He found that after the girl sacrificed herself, it seemed as if her Ren and Du meridians were opened up. Her originally introverted personality now actually began to play this kind of tune.

However, this pure and charming temperament has a unique flavor, so Wei Jin smiled and tapped the girl's kneeling part with his toes, jokingly saying:
"I'm not in a hurry."

So Song Yi did not refute, but turned around, lifted her round buttocks high, and smiled back.

"So, little brother, what are you waiting for?"

"Haha, I'll let you call me daddy later."

After saying that, Wei Jin clamped the willow-like waist with both hands and began to move forward step by step.

"Hmm~~"

I have to say that Song Yi, with his special physique, is really an excellent partner in bed.

And when Wei Jin left, she acted like a mature sister, warmly trying to keep him, making people fall in love with her warm embrace.

Wei Jin could imagine how good his condition would be during the filming of "Operation Mekong".

Just as Wei Jin was wandering in the maze, Huang Xiaoming also called Yang Ying.

"I've told you before that it's very difficult to get into Director Wei's movies. After all, there are so many artists in his company, and they have different levels of affinity. If you don't perform well enough, you'll have little chance."

At this point, Huang Xiaoming seemed to be afraid of hurting the woman's self-esteem too much, and added, "How about I find a teacher for you at Beijing Film Academy so that you can practice the basic skills well?"

Yang Ying shook her head subconsciously, "Forget it, acting skills are made with practice, I will learn while filming."

Huang Xiaoming felt a little helpless after hearing this, but before he could say anything else, Yang Ying started to act coquettishly again.

"Honey, I heard that Director Gu seems to have a drama project in the works, and he's looking for the female lead."

"Okay, I'll ask later."

"Mua, you are the best, when you come back, I will definitely reward you well"

This seductive tone made Huang Xiaoming, who had been filming for several months, feel a little hot.

"Hehe, then I'll be waiting."

The next day, auditions for male actors began.

As Wei Jin had expected, Lu Yi's audition performance was still more righteous than wild. There is no drug enforcement police like him.

But this guy is quite arrogant. Apart from the male lead, he did not apply for any other roles, which saved Wei Jin a lot of trouble.

Compared to Lu Yi's control of the star status, some gold medal supporting actors are really admirable.

Simon Yam and Philip Ko were both here to audition for villain roles. Both of them have a basic knowledge of Thai and performed very well.

Wei Jin couldn't make any judgment for the moment, so he took advantage of the break to ask Chen Xi and Guo Fan for their opinions.

"Both their acting skills are impeccable, but judging from their temperament, Philip Ko is more suitable."

"Okay, let's take a look."

As the auditions continued, Wei Jin had a general understanding of the professional level of male actors in Chinese entertainment.

Although Huang Haibai, Xiu Bo and others have never worked together, their acting skills are indeed good, but Wei Jin always feels a little lacking.

However, Xie Miao, with whom Wei Jin had never worked together before, walked in with a beard, which made Wei Jin's eyes light up.

It can be seen that this person is coming for the second male lead.

Honestly speaking, considering Xie Miao's current status in TV dramas, this role is somewhat inappropriate.

But the Wei and Jin projects do not require so much consideration and are given an overall score that is pending.

Eddie Peng’s performance was average, but thanks to the recent drama “SPL”, he did get in pretty good shape.

It’s just that Mandarin with a Taiwanese accent that Wei Jin really can’t accept. What kind of marketing effort is this?
Suppressing the complaints in my heart, the audition continued.
