Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 607: Our own people, make arrangements!

"Of course I did. The movie was quite interesting. Besides, my wife took me there." Zhang Zhijian said with a smile.

This time, Zhou Mo was even more surprised.

"I remember you said that Teacher Zhang doesn't like to watch this style of movies, right?"

"She really didn't like it at first, but then she heard it was from your company and the results were very good, so she got in touch with it a little bit, and then she started to like it more and more."

"That's great. If Teacher Zhang is willing, let's see if he would be willing to play a role as well." Zhou Mo took the opportunity to invite.

Zhang Zhijian said he would ask later.

During the break, Zhou Meisen suddenly mentioned something.

"Director Zhou, I thought you would agree to Jiang Wu directly."

Zhou Mo immediately understood what Zhou Meisen meant and shook his head.

"Don't worry, teachers. Although I prefer to use my own people, it will eventually fall on the TV series. Teachers, don't be afraid to give suggestions. Since I have decided to audition, I will definitely not force people who are not capable enough to join the group. This is slapping my own face."

Zhang Zhijian said on the side.

"That's right. When we were filming the new version of The Myth, although Director Zhou selected us in advance, he still let us audition before we officially joined the crew. This is what I admire most about Director Zhou. He does everything for the crew."

When the others heard this, they finally understood what was going on.

After a while, the next two auditioners arrived.

Zhou Mo raised his eyebrows. It was another acquaintance.

"Brother Honglei, are you here for the audition too?"

Sun Honglei said with a smile: "It's not easy to wait for you, Director Zhou, to get involved in TV dramas again, so I have to come and try out a role anyway."

"No problem. Brother Honglei, just try to get a feel for it first. I'll call another big guy over to act with you."

Zhou Mo made another call.

A moment later, Wu Gang knocked on the door and came in.

"Director Zhou, is it my turn to act opposite you this time?"

"That's right. Teacher Zhang has been busy just now, let him rest for a while. You know Brother Honglei's level. If you don't have a heavyweight enough person, I'm afraid we won't be able to suppress him, so I'll have to ask you to take action."

Wu Gang turned around and greeted Sun Honglei.

"I have always wanted to work with Teacher Sun, and today I finally have the opportunity."

Sun Honglei quickly extended his hand: "Yes, I am. You are embarrassing me. It is my honor to act with you."

After saying that, he gave Zhou Mo a grateful look.

Arranging people to act opposite each other is definitely beneficial for the actors who are auditioning.

A conversation between two people is far more visually impactful than a monologue by one person.

This can be considered as a benefit that Zhou Mo gives to his "own people".

Others won’t say anything, they’ll just provide some small conveniences.

The scene between Sun Honglei and Wu Gang was exactly the same as the one before Gao Yuliang.

Both of them are top-notch in the industry and they quickly got themselves in shape and started acting.

"Why can't I sleep? I don't steal or rob, so why can't I sleep?"

"He (Chen Qingquan) is Gao Xiaoqin's man."

"Then why do you care so much?"

"You have captured someone in this Shanshui Manor, and it is embarrassing for me to find someone."

After the show, Zhou Mo and the other three began to communicate.

Zhou Mo looked at Li Lu.

"How do you feel?"

Li Lu hesitated and rubbed her chin.

"There is definitely no problem with his acting skills. He is even better than Jiang Wu just now."

Seeing this, Zhou Mo said bluntly: "I guess you are going to say but next?"

Li Lu immediately looked at Zhou Mo.

"Director Zhou also felt it?"

"Yes……"

Zhou Mo's tone was somewhat sad.

He felt it as soon as Sun Honglei started acting.

Sun Honglei’s lines, emotions and actions are all on point.

But once his face starts to smile, the "King of Looks" flavor instantly comes out. Obviously this is a very serious play, Zhao Ruilong and Li Dakang are testing each other back and forth, constantly snatching the right to speak, trying to achieve their own goals, and it is not an exaggeration to say a few sharp words.

But when Sun Honglei smiled, that mood was immediately destroyed.

Xia Donghai said at the side: "Obviously the acting is very good, but it just feels wrong."

Zhou Mo sighed.

This is the negative effect of participating in variety shows too frequently.

Actors need a sense of mystery.

If you participate in too many variety shows, especially comedy shows, once your image is stereotyped in the audience's minds, it will be difficult for you to get acting roles in the future.

In their previous lives, Sun Honglei, Shen Teng, and Huang Bo all had this problem.

Shen Teng and Huang Bo are okay, as they both started out as comedians, and it was just that they had some difficulty in transitioning in the later stages.

Sun Honglei had filmed many serious dramas before, but later he almost ruined his acting career.

After some communication, the four people had similar opinions.

Like Jiang Wu, his acting skills are fine, but his image needs further consideration.

"Let's see if there are better actors."

"Well, next one!"

In the following period of time, Zhou Mo and others auditioned several actors one after another.

But after the judging, the most impressive ones were Jiang Wu and Sun Honglei at the beginning.

During the half-time break, Zhou Meisen kept patting his thigh.

"Having too many good actors is also a problem. There are so many, I don't know which one to choose." He kept talking about his happy troubles.

There are really a lot of good actors among that group of people just now.

Some of them are the kind of people who have left their own characters on camera.

But taking all factors into consideration, it is still a little bit inferior to Sun Honglei and his team.

"Okay, Teacher Zhou, it's not over yet. There are still a few people behind us. We still have a chance to take another look." Xia Donghai advised.

"Well, call the next one."

A few seconds later, the next actor walked in.

Zhou Mo's eyes lit up when he saw the person's face clearly.

Another one of our own.

And they are not ordinary people.

Zhang Songwen.

The fishmonger, Gao Qiqiang.

"Hello, teachers. I am Zhang Songwen..." Zhang Songwen greeted them as he entered the room.

"Teacher Zhang, are you here to audition for the role of Zhao Ruilong?"

Zhang Songwen used to be an acting teacher at Beijing Film Academy, so there is nothing wrong with calling him Teacher Zhang.

What's more, ever since Zhou Mo came to support Ning Hao's "The Great Robbery" a few years ago and met Zhang Songwen, he invited him to be the acting teacher of Shanhe Company.

The kind that involves signing a serious contract.

In the past few years, Zhang Songwen has basically been working as a director at Shanhe Company, and has also played some roles. Although he is not as popular as in his previous life, he just lacks an opportunity.

Zhang Songwen smiled and said, "Yes, come and try your chance."

Zhou Mo nodded.

"Okay, then I'll ask Teacher Xu to come over and cooperate with you." After saying that, he took out his cell phone.

When Zhang Songwen came in, the eyes of the other people lit up.

Apart from anything else, Zhang Songwen's outfit is very nice.

A middle-aged hairstyle, a slightly plump figure, and expensive but not too ostentatious clothes.

But judging from this image, it already has some of Zhao Ruilong's second-generation feel.

After a while, Xu Yajun came into the room.

He already knew Zhou Mo's arrangement and cooperated with Zhang Songwen in the drama at Shanshui Manor.

In this scene, three people are dividing the money that was taken from Dafeng Factory that year.

Qi Tongwei and Gao Xiaoqin wanted Zhao Ruilong to spit out the money, but Zhao Ruilong said it was impossible because what went into his mouth was his.
