Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 375: Weird Thoughts on Auditions

Final feast.

Drinking and drinking each other.

As expected, many people approached Zhou Mo during the free time at the banquet and tried to make some py deals with him.

Surprisingly, all those who tried to trade with Zhou Mopy were men.

Not even a little sister.

In the room, Da Tiantian brought some hangover medicine to Zhou Mo. After seeing him finish drinking it, she gave him a look that said "take care of yourself" and prepared to leave with a smile.

Looking back, I saw that there were more than 100 people in the room, all of them were men.

Chen Baoguo, Wang Kai, Hu Ge, Zhang Ruoyun…….
After all, they are still members of the "The Great Wall" crew.

In addition, like Huang Xiaoming, Zhu Yilong, Chen Xiao, Wang Zhifei...

Even a lot of members outside the crew came.

After Zhou Mo drank the medicine, he felt his head clearer.

He rubbed his temple and asked helplessly.

"No, what are you all doing here so late at night? Can't we talk about it tomorrow?"

Among the group, Chen Baoguo had the highest status, so he was elected as the spokesperson.

"Ahem... Director Zhou, we came here mainly because we heard that our company is planning to produce a series of historical TV dramas related to "Chu and Han" and "The Great Wall", so we came to inquire about the situation."

Zhou Mo was stunned.

Subconsciously, I looked at Da Tiantian at the door.

Da Tiantian spread her hands silently, meaning: Don’t ask me, I don’t know either.

Zhou Mo sighed helplessly.

The entertainment industry really can’t keep secrets.

He raised his head and said, "Teacher Chen, I do have this plan, but it's just a plan. I haven't even written the script yet. It's too early for you to ask about the situation now.

I know you are here for roles, but I haven't started writing yet, so it's impossible for me to promise you anything, and I'm not reliable.

So go back, and I will tell you when there is news."

Seeing this, everyone could tell that Zhou Mo was not lying.

But, it is impossible to leave.

Everyone in the industry knows that Zhou Mo likes to directly decide on the actors, whether he is filming a TV series or a movie.

Shanhe Company has been established for three years, and has participated in more than 20 projects, but has never passed a full-circle audition.

So, everyone definitely doesn't want to leave.

What if the character runs away again?

Now, while I am still in the crew and close to Zhou Mo, I still have a chance. What if Zhou Mo leaves and some other "slut" gets there first?

Besides this, there is another reason why everyone doesn't want to leave.

Someone in the industry has analyzed Zhou Mo's scripts and discovered that Zhou Mo writes good characters, allowing actors to act very comfortably. Part of the reason is that he will directly bring certain characteristics of the actors themselves into the characters in the script.

In this case, it is not about the actors adapting to the roles in the script.

It’s because the role is more in line with the actor, and the actor is more like playing himself than playing the role.

When this situation was confirmed by more and more people in the circle, Zhou Mo became a hot commodity in everyone's eyes.

Who doesn’t want their acting skills to be better, even if it’s just appearance?

Who doesn’t want to be able to act as themselves when filming a movie?
For most people, playing other roles and "acting themselves" are two completely different levels.

Many stars only have one classic role in their lifetime.

And this role is often the one they "play themselves".

It is precisely because of his "true self" performance that he is able to express acting skills far beyond his usual level.

As for whether "acting as oneself" is in the comfort zone.

It's right here.

What can I do?
How many people still can’t find their comfort zone?
So many actors, even some so-called "veteran actors", rely on staying in their comfort zone and exaggerating their abilities.

Step out of your comfort zone and you may achieve something.

But it must be nice to stay in your comfort zone.

Back to the present.

Everyone really didn't want to leave, but seeing that Zhou Mo would not give a clear answer, if they really annoyed the director, it would definitely not be worth it.

Chen Baoguo changed his words: "Director Zhou, I actually want to know if the characters that appeared in our movie can still appear in the TV series?"

This is said very skillfully.

There was no intention of forcing him, but it also indirectly told Zhou Mo a fact. Using the same actors is indeed conducive to maintaining old audiences.

Many viewers chase dramas not only for the plot, but also for the actors.

It often happens in movies and TV dramas that after an actor leaves the show, the subsequent ratings will drop significantly.

Zhou Mo thought about it and gave an answer.

“If there is an important historical node, there will definitely be a continuation.

For example, if there were a TV series about your Emperor Wu of Han, Mr. Chen, there would definitely be clips of Emperor Wu of Han in his old age, such as the Fengshan Ceremony at Mount Tai and the Witchcraft Incident.

But these plots tend to be negative, I wonder if you are interested, Mr. Chen."

When Chen Baoguo heard the exact reply, he was certain.

He smiled and said, "Of course, no problem. If you want to play a role well, then you naturally won't just play the good side of it. I have played Emperor Jiajing, so Emperor Hanwu is certainly no problem."

Zhou Mo nodded.

Now that Chen Baoguo has made it clear, everything else will be easy.

"Okay, now that I've made the situation clear, I'll be writing the script based on historical nodes, and choosing characters will also be based on the plot.

In addition, once the script is finished and the company is ready, I will organize a large-scale audition, and those of you who are confident can come and try it out.”

When everyone heard this, they instantly felt a lot more relieved.

As long as the audition can be held, everything will be fine.

Isn't it just about acting?
Relying on auditions, success or failure is really uncertain.

Anyone who has a dream is great.

A communication that brings joy to both the host and the guests.

The actors felt they were given a fair chance to compete.

Zhou Mo came up with a good idea.

Anyway, after today, the news of Shanhe Company's first large-scale audition will probably spread throughout the entire entertainment industry.

By then, there will probably be an overwhelming number of people coming to audition.

In that case, he might as well have a variety show-style or live audition.

Show the true situation of the audition to the audience.

Fully transparent.

No inside information.

Whether you can get in depends entirely on your ability.

It is estimated that the number of spectators will be overwhelming by then.

After a while, everyone in the room left, and Da Tiantian left the sofa and was about to close the door.

"Don't close it."

"what happened?"

"There are more people coming."

Da Tiantian was stunned: "There is someone else, who?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Xiaoming appeared at the door.

"Tiantian, we meet again."

Da Tiantian immediately understood the reason.

"Good fellow, Brother Xiaoming, you are pretending to be a master but secretly attacking Chencang."

Huang Xiaoming smiled slightly, feeling a little proud of his own actions.

There were so many people in the room just now. If he stayed, he would definitely be discovered.

Given his status, no one would say anything.

But it's obvious that just one more step will not be a problem, so why make people hate you?

Go into the room.

Zhou Mo raised his phone and said, "Brother Xiaoming, what do you want to tell me?"

The moment Huang Xiaoming stepped into the room, the smile on his face instantly turned into a fan-shaped face. The emotions of grievance, hard work, and accomplishment were fully expressed on his face.

"Director Zhou, you lived up to everyone's expectations. I called both Yuanyuan and Yuanquan."

Zhou Mo raised his eyebrows.

Good guy.

Huang Xiaoming actually managed to negotiate it.
