superstar director

Chapter 506 Auditions
"Friends from the audience, this is the place where director Ning Sheng usually works at home. Read these books and some drafts. By the way, the scripts of Ning Sheng's movies are almost revised here every day. And this The guitar was also used by Ning Cheng when he was writing songs. After reading the study room, let's take a look at the baby room. This is the room Ning Cheng prepared for baby Xinxin. Have you seen these hundreds of dolls, big and small? , has collected almost all the dolls that look interesting and cute, as well as these small slides, small swings, dozens of sets of puzzles, etc., the great father-director Ning Shengning has planned five years for his precious daughter's childhood life. Years old, of course, my little aunt also participated in some of these things—"

"I won't show you the private room like the bedroom. Next, let's say hello to the stars who are coming to the party tonight. I believe everyone can't wait. Li Ying, Shi Shi follows the king Come on stage—"

"First of all, I would like to introduce my friends from Korea, Girls' Generation---Yoona, Taeyeon, please say hello to our audience---and the two handsome guys from TVXQ---"

"Wow - friends, do you know who we saw just now? It's the lumberjacks from the men's team, hurry up and say hello to me--"

At this time, the number of people in the live broadcast room had unknowingly exceeded the tens of millions mark, and among them were not only the fans of the stars, but also the audience who came to join in the fun and watch the novelty, as well as reporters from the gossip entertainment media.

While other people were excited when they saw Ning Sheng's study and the celebrities, the reporters helped take screenshots while paying attention to the various messages in the live broadcast room and the changes in the number of people, and then thought Also consider how to use these things to write a wonderful gossip manuscript!

This night's party not only opened the eyes of audiences across the country, but also witnessed for the first time the celebrity party that could only be heard about on TV and media reports, and also saw the people who are usually in the world through the live broadcast. The way and appearance of getting along with celebrities in private.

The stars queuing up at the scene not only attracted the attention of the national entertainment media for the first time because they participated in a party, but also experienced a different interaction mode from the previous fans through the live broadcast of Ning Tong and the others.

After tonight, this gathering that was originally reported by the media as a hierarchical division of the younger generation in the entertainment industry finally returned to the original theme of the party.

After NLZ's live broadcast, no one cared about the supernova group that the media said before. Through the live broadcast, everyone saw the stars present, including first-tier, second-tier, and even third-tier stars, as well as some who just debuted not long ago. Whether it is popularity, popularity, or work performance, these newcomers cannot be placed on the same level at all.

Someone even joked afterwards "If there were to be grades, then NLZ would be one grade and everyone else would be another grade!"

That's right, in the entire Asian entertainment circle, among young people, NLZ is the undoubted No. [-]!

After no one hyped about the issue of status, the focus of everyone's attention naturally shifted, and the gossip media always have a pair of sharp and magical eyes, which are different from other people's excitement when watching stars and idols. What they see in their eyes is only Just one piece of news material.

Even though the stars didn’t do anything out of the ordinary at last night’s party, on the gossip media the next day, those pictures edited through last night’s live broadcast, as well as the accompanying explanations of their preparations and the seemingly reasonable before and after Logically, these miraculous gossip media exposed three celebrity couples directly from this live broadcast, and two other celebrity couples were exposed to the ice.

Of course, the parties involved deny all these exposed gossips. However, looking at the pictures carefully selected by the media, as well as various explanations and reasonings, the common people watching the excitement are still very happy. In this era of entertainment to death , There is no limit at all, for these entertainment media, the only responsibility is to make more exciting news, just like those capitalists, they only care about how to make more profits for themselves!
This night's live broadcast not only made the stars who participated in the party hit the headlines one after another, but also made Ning Sheng, who is far away in the United States, also get on the front page of the entertainment section for no reason.

In particular, the photos of Ning Cheng's study room are the most reprinted by many media. The row of books and the row of CDs seem to prove why Ning Sheng has achieved today's achievements. An inspirational story with 99 point of inspiration and [-] points of sweat.

Of course, if Ning Cheng read these reports, he would probably sigh in his heart. His success should be 99 points of inspiration, plus a part of hard work.

After all, the cultural resources from another time and space are the key to his success!Otherwise, even if you put in [-]% of your sweat, you might only get sweat!

The turmoil of the party gradually passed, and the three of Ning Tong also received the notice from Sister Lin, and quickly boarded the flight to the United States with their luggage.

After they arrived in the United States, they were taken directly to Los Angeles. The audition locations selected by Ning Sheng were all in Los Angeles. This time, Ning Sheng did not follow, but handed it over to Sister Lin. The opportunity had already been given, and Emma The manager also negotiated with those crews, as long as the acting skills pass the test, the director will not be stuck with a supporting role candidate.

Among the roles that Ning Tong auditioned for, there was one role in a movie and two roles in TV dramas.

Relatively speaking, there are fewer roles in movies. After all, TV dramas are much longer than movies, but the opportunities for movies are obviously more important than TV dramas.

This movie is called "Pitch Perfect". The role given to Ning Tong and the others is a quiet girl who is very shy but has a good voice. It took quite a lot of time, nearly six or 10 minutes, which is considered a very good role.

Originally, there were no Asian characters in this movie, but the producer felt that the Chinese market was getting hotter and hotter. It would be a pity if he couldn't get in, so when casting, he temporarily decided to replace a supporting role. Became a Chinese actor.

The producer hopes to take advantage of the goodwill of the Chinese actors to make the film a good result when it is released in China. It doesn't matter to the director team, and a supporting role does not affect the plot.

When Ning Cheng saw this role, after careful consideration, he felt that only Ning Tong was more suitable for this role. After all, Ning Tong's voice is naturally suitable for this type of role, and compared to TV dramas, the acting skills in movies are obviously higher , and Ning Tong is the only one among the three who has won the Best Actress. Although it is a TV drama award, it also proves that her acting skills are more mature.

However, when handing it over to Lin Ling, Ning Cheng didn't directly designate who would go to the mirror and which character, anyway, if there was a chance, he would let the three of them go together, and whoever was selected would be fine.

As an actor, film actors are inherently higher than TV drama actors, so when there is an opportunity to act in a movie, they will naturally be valued more than TV dramas.

For the three of Ning Tong, although they never thought of taking advantage of this opportunity to have any particularly exciting performances in the American film and television industry, they obviously have to pay more attention to the opportunity of a movie.

"Pitch Perfect" is a musical comedy film produced by Universal Pictures, directed by Jason Moore, co-starring Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Brittany Snow, Anna Camp, etc. .In addition to a few leading actors, there are also a few supporting roles, and the role that Ning Tong and the others want to audition for is one of the supporting roles!

Film director Jason Moore is not a famous director, but for this kind of musical comedy, the film and television company has always found a script, and then found a few young and beautiful actors to make a low-cost movie that makes money. Therefore, the company's The power rests with the producer.

And the place where the crew auditioned was in a building in Los Angeles.

After the four of Ning Tong went upstairs, they were directly led by the reception staff to the door of a meeting room. Before they opened the door, Ning Tong and the others could see the whole picture of the meeting room through the transparent floor-to-ceiling glass.

The space inside is quite wide, nearly [-] square meters, most of which are set up as performance venues, with a few chairs in the back row, and a whole mirror in front, clearly reflecting the interior furnishings into it.

Seeing this, it is obvious that the other party has arranged the meeting place here, and they probably plan to audition on the spot.

In fact, the official audition of the crew is not here, but in another place. Originally, when Sister Lin contacted the producer, she thought that the other party wanted to meet before the audition.But obviously, Americans don't have the polite thoughts of China, and they don't pay much attention to Ning Tong's popularity and popularity in Asia and even the world.

After all, singers and actors are two different professions. There are only a handful of stars in Hollywood who want to cross-border development, and they really make achievements. Most of them are just for fun, which is completely different from Huaxia.

So, in the eyes of others, maybe Ning Tong and the others are just singers who can't act at all.

So, they interviewed here directly, maybe they also have some good intentions. If they really don't pass the audition, then everyone come quietly and leave quietly, which seems to be a kind of gesture.

Of course, at this time, Sister Lin didn't have time to think too much. The environment here is a great test for people.

Since Ning Tong and the others entered the industry, in the early filming of film and television dramas, besides the works directed by Ning Sheng, they also experienced auditions by other directors, but whether it was TV or movie auditions, they were not like what they are now. Cover up and show up in front of everyone.

Most of the general audition rooms are independent spaces, which can allow actors to play more attentively.

But here, after the actors enter the meeting room, every minute is a test, and outsiders may stare at them, which will bring great psychological pressure and torture to the auditioners here.

People with a slightly weaker psychological quality, no matter how superb their acting skills are, they will probably be affected in the public eye, and their performance will be substandard.

Especially the mirror in the conference room, which was cleaned brightly and cleanly, may reflect the figure of the performer. Every subtle expression and movement can be seen not only by the examiner who is auditioning, but also by the actor who is auditioning. will be affected.

It was obviously the first time for Ning Tong and the three of them to audition like this, but as top Asian singers who had seen countless worlds, the three of them quickly calmed down some of their psychological tension.

On the car when they arrived, Ning Cheng said to Shi Shi and Ying Bao jokingly, "What are you afraid of, let's do our best, at worst, go back and wait for Director Ning Cheng Ning to open a new play for us."

The blond girl who led the way pushed open the glass door and called the staff to bring water.

The cool air in the office, the three of Ning Tong looked at themselves in the mirror, and everyone's subtle expressions in front of the mirror were captured by the mirror, and they were mentally preparing for the audition later under Sister Lin's urging , at this time someone outside suddenly spoke:
"Jason is here."

Everyone turned their heads following her words, and sure enough, they saw two foreigners who were about 40 years old outside, who looked like leaders at first glance, led a few people striding over.

The staff pushed the door open for them, and as soon as the two leading foreigners came in, one of them, a bald man with beards, smiled and said, "Hey, you must be superstars from China. Sorry to keep you waiting. After shaking hands with Sister Lin and the others one by one, another curly-haired man with eyes next to the bald man said in somewhat blunt Chinese, "Hello!" and then continued in English, "I am the director of "Pitch Perfect". Vincent."

The four of them have traveled all over the world over the years, and they have held global tours. Naturally, English is no longer a problem. There is no burden to communicate with them in English. After simple greetings, the bald producer motioned everyone to sit down. He did not rush He asked Ning Tong and the others to audition, but chatted with them instead.

"I heard that you are very well-known in China and even in Asia, isn't it?"

When the producer Schroeder was talking, the other person who entered the meeting room with him, that is, the film director Wen Sen, looked at the three of Ning Tong calmly.As for Lin Ling on the other side, anyone could tell that she was a manager in her professional attire!

"We have several diamond records, and we have also held world tours and more than ten performances in the United States." Ning Tong said in fluent English, "If Mr. Schroeder is interested, next time we sing in the United States , I can give you a few tickets for VIP seats."

Schroeder obviously didn't seriously inquire about the details of Ning Tong and the others, or put the matter aside after contacting Emma's manager. Hearing Ning Tong's answer at this time, his eyes lit up , has a diamond record, and has also toured the world. Such a star, no matter where they are placed, is treated as the hottest and most popular singer. Looking at the age of Ning Tong and the others, no need to think too much, Schroeder immediately paid attention to Ning Tong. The three of Tong have a very clear understanding of their popularity in Asia. This is like Taylor Swift, the most popular in the United States today, perhaps even more famous than the president.

With such a Chinese star joining, even if the acting skills are slightly inferior, for those fans, it is obviously enough to attract them to enter, not to mention, when the time comes to promote in Asia, this will be the best publicity point. .

Next, after Schroeder asked Ning Tong and the other three in detail, knowing that they had filmed several TV dramas in China that won the ratings king of the year, and participated in many movies, Schroeder was very concerned about his decision. The idea of ​​temporarily adding a Chinese actor to the movie is really genius, and I am very satisfied with the three recommended by Emma's agent. Schroeder at that time had long forgotten!
