China Entertainment: I just want to give my child a home

Chapter 63 Best Friends Whisper Casting

Yang Mi took the three artist contracts back and read them carefully over and over again. The three contracts can be divided into five-year contracts, eight-year contracts and ten-year contracts according to the length of time.

Needless to say, the longer the contract, the more favorable the conditions will be.

After careful consideration with her parents, Yang Mi chose neither the shortest five-year contract nor the longest ten-year contract, but chose a compromise eight-year contract.

"Yang Mi, congratulations. You will be the first signed artist under our Dongcheng Pictures. Work hard. Manager Zhong has high expectations for you. Don't let her down."

Chen Dong signed his name and stamped his official seal on the eight-year artist contract between Yang Mi and the company, which means that from this moment on, the contract has legal significance.

He also stood up more formally and reached out to shake Yang Mi's hand, which was considered a welcome ceremony.

"Thank you, thank you, Director Chen. I will work hard in the future. Not only will I not live up to Manager Zhong's high expectations, but I will also not embarrass my senior brother."

Chen Dong saw a hint of admiration for himself in Yang Mi's eyes, and smiled lightly: "You are ambitious and look forward to your future!"

With that said, Chen Dong turned around and took out a page of A4 paper from his desk. On the paper was printed the role introduction of Zhang Yan, the daughter of the medical clinic in "Xiu Chun Knife", and handed it to Yang Mi:

"Take it back and think about it carefully, and wait for the audition on the 10th."

Yang Mi excitedly took the piece of paper and kept thanking her. She thought to herself, isn't this why she wants to 'change jobs' even if she pays 500 million in liquidated damages?
  If she were still in Rong Xinda, she didn't know how many more years she would have to save before she would have the opportunity to be exposed to such a 'big production'.

Even if it's just a female supporting role.

"I'll put the ugly things up front. If you perform too poorly on the day of the audition, you may be replaced..."

……

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's good to have a big director as your backer. The audition hasn't even started yet, but the female lead has already been confirmed. I'm jealous."

In the Liu family, Su Chang came to visit. When he saw the script of "Xiu Chun Knife" that Liu Yifei put on the dressing table, he realized that the unnamed heroine who was rumored on the Internet was actually his best friend.

"It's useless to be envious. If you have the ability, find a big director to be your backer." Liu Yifei spoke without much scruples in front of the little sisters.

"How can a big director take notice of a little girl like me, who is of average beauty? Only a pretty little lady like you, Sissi, will... Oh, stop scratching me. I was wrong. If you scratch me again, Sissi, I will fight back!"

"Humph, look at your mouth and you dare to talk nonsense."

The two women quarreled for a while, and both began to tidy up their images in the mirror.

Naturally, the topic also changed.

"Changchang, is what you said on the phone that day true?"

"What did I say?"

"Tell me that you plan to apply for a non-arts college in college." Liu Yifei saw that Su Chang didn't even remember it, so she must have said what she said on the phone that day in a rush.

"Oh, this, of course it's true. Didn't you see that I came to you this time to play with you, and I came with a bunch of review materials. I have two more test papers to do later."

After hearing this, Liu Yifei noticed that her best friend came to play with her this time, and she actually brought her textbooks with her.

Seeing Su Chang's serious face, she couldn't help but believe it, but she was still puzzled.

"You haven't been filming since you were a kid, and you still call yourself an experienced actor in front of me. Why don't you apply for an art school?"

"Tired of it."

"Tired of it? You don't want to be a star anymore?" Liu Yifei doubted that her little sister was possessed by evil spirits, right? Or has something happened recently?
  "As you know, Sissi, I have been filming since I was a child. If I don't like the profession of acting, I wouldn't be able to stick to it now. But precisely because I have been filming for so many years, I feel that the profession of acting is not stable. So I wanted to study something different in college. Fortunately, I will have another skill after graduation, so no one will ask me to film, and I will not be unemployed."

"I really want to pursue stability. Changchang, you can take the civil service exam in the future. Besides, you are a quasi-A-list actor. Are you worried about not being able to find a role?"

Liu Yifei really wanted to change her little sister's Buddhist mindset, but Su Chang had made up her mind and didn't want to get too entangled with her on this issue. Su Chang turned his attention to the script of "Xiu Chun Knife" on the dressing table, but found an entry point to change the subject: "Sissi, what is this martial arts movie directed by Chen about? Can you tell me about it?"

"Well, the script is here. I don't know how to read it myself. As long as I read it and don't tell anyone about it, it will be fine."

Liu Yifei still trusted her best friend's character, so she picked up the script and handed it to her.

Su Chang took it over and measured the thickness with her fingers, then put it back. When she met Liu Yifei's gaze, she said: "It's too thick. I think it will be gone in an hour or two. I will make two more sets later." The test papers are here, so Sissi, please give me a brief introduction."

"Haha, you are too lazy."

"Please, please, our Sissi is the best."

"Okay, since you have such a correct attitude, I will introduce you to you."

Liu Yifei picked up the script of "Xiu Chun Knife" that she had read countless times and began to speak:
  "...On Yimao day in the eighth month of the seventh year of Tianqi in the Ming Dynasty, Xizong died. Xin, the fifth brother of Xizong, ascended the throne and named the country Chongzhen."

"Chongzhen? Isn't that the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty?"

"Stop interrupting, do you still want to listen?"

"I was wrong. Auntie, please continue."

"Hmph... After Emperor Chongzhen came to the throne, he began to eradicate the eunuch forces left by Xizong. He was ambitious and worked hard to govern, hoping to be the master of ZTE. After he dismissed Wei Zhongxian from his position, he demoted him to Fengyang to guard the mausoleum of Ming Taizu."

"Shen Lian, Lu Jianxing and Jing Yichuan are sworn brothers..."

……

4 month 10 day.

A group of media reporters had been squatting downstairs of Dongcheng Pictures early on.

why?

Because today is the audition day for "Xiu Chun Dao".

Unlike "The Tuner", "Xiu Chun Knife" did not deliberately separate men and women for auditions.

This is because "Xiuchundao" does not need many named female characters.

And the most important female lead has already been confirmed.

As for the other female supporting roles, they are not worthy of competition by the big stars, so there are fewer female stars coming to audition compared to male stars, and there are not even any first-line female stars among them.

Even so, it does not mean that Yang Mi has no competitors. In fact, there are many people competing with her, such as Gao Yuanyuan, Wang Luodan, Jiang Qinqin, Wang Likun, Tang Yan...

Like these people, even if Yang Mi got the title in advance, her audition results did not stand out.

But at least it passed.

She was also the first artist signed by her own company. Chen Dong took the decision and gave her this role.

The competition among male actors is much fiercer.

Even popular young people from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places came here.

For example, Su Youpeng, Lin Xiashi, Huang Xiaoming, Nie Yuan, Pan Junmin...
