I'm the man behind the big stars

Chapter 12
Hearing that Dreamland is going to use newcomers to shoot a new TV series, Li Jisheng immediately felt very depressed and confused. It is said that Dreamland not only uses newcomers, but also asks group actors to audition, and went to the film and television shooting base to find the lead actor.

Dreamland what is this doing?
Chen Chuan is an old actor who has very high requirements for actors. If he is only good-looking and has no acting skills, he will definitely not use it.

As we all know, most of the ensemble performers in the film and television shooting base have never played the leading role. They have no experience, so how can they be the leading role.

There is a saying in the entertainment circle in this world, those who often play the leading role can definitely play the supporting role well, but those who often play the supporting role may not necessarily be able to play the leading role well.

Although some big stars also came out of film and television shooting bases back then, most of them became popular because of a good supporting role. Not everyone can play the leading role.

And with the progress of the times, basically the vast majority of companies have their own artist training plans, and even a slightly important supporting role will not be given to extras. come less and less.

Although he doesn't understand the behavior of Dreamland, Li Jisheng still maintains a negative attitude. He was kicked out from Dreamland back then, so he is very happy to see the TV series invested by Dreamland go to waste and turn into bad movies .

There is another company that is also not optimistic about the new drama of Dreamland, and that is Shengying.

Dreamland focuses on filming and investing in film and television dramas, and their investment is invested by their own company. This has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the profits earned are exclusive to the company, and the disadvantage is that when they lose money, they also lose money. No one Share the loss.

A few years ago, Dreamland was booming, and its market value even caught up with Shengying, but unfortunately, due to the market downturn in the past two years, there were too many homogeneous TV series and movies. The drama is basically cold, and they don't have many artists under their banner, and they have to pay astronomical salary every time they hire actors, which has caused them to lose money every year in the past few years.

Seeing that the operating conditions of Dreamland are not good, Shengying has long wanted to acquire them. Even though Dreamland invited Chen Chuan to direct several TV series recently, these TV series can only keep paying back at best. If it continues to lose money, Dreamland will acquire or go bankrupt sooner or later.

That TV series was the last straw that overwhelmed Dreamland, and Sheng Ying was looking forward to it.

Liu Weiming was most looking forward to it. When he learned that Dreamland was so poor that he went to the extras to find a leading actor, he burst out laughing in the office.

Like Li Jisheng, Liu Weiming was originally from the Land of Dreams. Unlike Li Jisheng, Weiming Liu is one of the founders of the Land of Dreams, although he has now moved to Shengying.

A few years ago, Dreamland was on the rise. More than half of the TV series and movies people watched came from Dreamland. At that time, the prices of actors were very low, even only a few hundred dollars a day.

At that time, Liu Weiming was not immersed in the short-lived prosperous dream of the fantasy land. He foresaw that the prices of actors would rise in the future. If his company did not pay attention to cultivating artists, it would suffer a loss sooner or later.

So Liu Weiming cultivated a large number of artists. However, the group of people on the board of directors believed that Liu Weiming wasted a lot of money on unnecessary places. When these artists were out of play, they were wasting company resources. Marginalized by the board.

In a fit of anger, Liu Weiming left Dreamland and came to Shengying with his ideas. Shengying not only welcomed him, but also made him a major shareholder of Shengying, and Liu Weiming's ideas were also implemented in Shengying.

In the past two years, the star economy has developed greatly, and the rise of variety shows has also strengthened the connection between fans and stars. Even if there is no filming, Shengying will still not lose money by supporting those stars.

On the other hand, Dreamland is getting worse every year. Those directors who forced Liu Weiming to leave also started to run away.

For the script of "The Unruly Princess", Liu Weiming also planned to buy it at the beginning, but the other screenwriter ignored him from the beginning, which made him very incomprehensible.

Those who post scripts on the script website are usually new screenwriters. Liu Weiming thought that the price of [-] an episode would be able to attract this new screenwriter, but the other party did not reply to him a single message.

But fortunately, although the script was not obtained, the script fell into the hands of Dreamland, and it was a question of whether they could make it well.

……

On the other hand, the audition for the heroine of "The Unruly Princess" has already started, and Lu Chen also ran into the shed to watch. He wanted to see if Shi Yin, a guy who wanted to be a big star, had the potential to be a big star.

To be honest, Shiyin looked a bit like a princess when she put on an ancient costume.

The audition process was not very long, there were only a few shots, Chen Chuan was an experienced person, he could tell if he could do it alone, just a few lines and a few actions.

The audition people passed by one after another, and when it was Shiyin's turn, everyone was surprised. She recited the lines as if she was acting in her true colors, and she didn't seem to be reciting lines at all.

This made Chen Chuan and Cheng Ming seriously suspect that Lu Chen wrote the script based on the character Shi Yin.

In order to further test Shiyin, Chen Chuan temporarily added an audition content. He took a loudspeaker and shouted to Shiyin who was not far away: "Little girl, try crying."

As soon as the voice fell, Shi Yin's tears flowed down, and then she wailed, crying heart-piercingly.

……

This scene stunned everyone.

This is too good at acting.

Chen Chuan said again at this time: "Then try smiling again."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Yin put his hands on his back and burst out laughing.

Watching this scene, Lu Chen touched his chin with his hand.

Such a fast transition between crying and laughing, even some old actors who have acted in many dramas can't do it. This guy is simply a natural actor.

In the end, the audition took a whole day. In the evening, Chen Chuan and Cheng Ming called the auditioners together, and then prepared to announce the list of actors, including a heroine and several supporting actresses.

Seeing a large crowd in front of him, Shi Yin asked, "Lu Chen, how do you think my performance is today?"

Lu Chen thought for a while and said, "It's average."

To be honest, Lu Chen also felt that Situ Jing, the heroine, was very suitable for Shiyin, but it was better not to say such things, because Shiyin's tail would be lifted to the sky.

Obviously, Shi Yin was a little dissatisfied with Lu Chen's answer, and she said resentfully, "Average? What's your point of view!"

At this moment, Chen Chuan began to announce the actress' name.

"The last one, the actress who plays the heroine is..."

At this point, Chen Chuan hesitated to speak, and did not read it out immediately.

People's eyes widened and they held their breath, expecting that name to be themselves.

Chen Chuan squinted his eyes and looked at the list in his hand, frowning slightly.

Shi Yin said to Lu Chen at this time: "Look, the leading role must be me..."

Before Shi Yin finished speaking, Chen Chuan read out the name of the last person.

"The heroine is played by Feng Yan."
