Chapter 268 The Movie Wraps(1/2)
Huasheng Agency, as the leading agency company in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, signs interns almost every year to serve as an artist reserve.
For example, Li Bin was one of the interns of Huasheng Agency back then. Later, when he became popular in supporting roles, the company began to favor him.
Different from Yiyang Agency, every time Huasheng Agency signs a trainee, it adopts the method of "casting a wide net and catching more fish". At least dozens of them will be signed in one sign, and then they will be trained in a unified way like a training class.
If there are fifty people in a group, only three or four people will be able to successfully debut in the end, not even a one-tenth chance, but there will still be people flocking to it.
Naturally, there is nothing to say about being able to make a debut.
If you can't make your debut.
Their status as trainees will stay with them until the contract is terminated, and Huasheng's contract lasts for ten years once signed.
In other words, if you cannot make your debut in Huasheng, you will have no chance to develop in other companies. Once you become popular outside the company's channels, you will also face huge liquidated damages claims from the company.
Doing this is of great benefit to the brokerage company, but will only be criticized by netizens as "unethical".
Ten o'clock in the morning.
The female secretary wearing a sexy OL uniform came to the chairman's office with a document.
"Director Li, this is this year's list of interns. Please take a look."
Li Yuntian reached out to take the document, opened the list inside, and asked at the same time: "How many people are there in this batch?"
"Fifty-two people, exactly half boys and half girls."
“What’s the average age?”
"The average age is 22 years old. There are many graduates from Shuangfei Art School. The oldest is 24 years old and the youngest seems to be only 17 years old."
Li Yuntian glanced at the list. Behind the list were the skills they were good at, including the development direction chosen by the interviewer.
The female secretary seems to know what Li Yuntian is concerned about. Ever since Shao Yang broke the record at the Golden Melody Awards, the company's resources have no longer been allocated to male singers headed by 'Xia Fei'.
Now Shaoyang's popularity in the music world cannot be matched by any one person, so I simply don't compare...
"Most of the male trainees this year are developing into boy bands and actors, and very few are developing into singers."
"Um."
Li Yuntian nodded, handed the list to the female secretary and said, "That's it."
The female secretary took the list and was about to leave when Li Yuntian stood up and asked: "How is the filming of Li Bin's movie going?"
"I don't know about this. Should I call and ask his agent?"
"Um."
As Li Yuntian spoke, he reached out and slapped the female secretary hard on the buttocks. The female secretary gave a sweet hum and walked away.
…
Lu Province.
Charlotte Troubles crew.
This morning's scene was a big test for Shaoyang.
This is also the only sensational part of this movie.
And Shaoyang also has a lot of lines.
Whether it's performance, lines, or emotional control, it all needs to be in place.
There are only two cameras left in the house.
Shaoyang and Ma Li were sitting on the sofa and on a chair, both reading the lines.
About five minutes later.
Shao Yang, who was almost in a state of emotion, handed the script to Xue Jiajia and asked, "Ma Li, are you ready?"
"Um."
Ma Li also put down the script.
Yan Fei ordered: "Everyone keep quiet, let's start."
Yan Fei sat back in front of the monitor and gestured to the recorder.
"The first shot of the 120th scene, the first action!"
…
"Quick, quick, while it's hot."
Ma Dongmei came out of the kitchen and brought out a bowl of hot fennel braised noodles, then stood in front of Charlotte, put her hands on her hips and said: "Charlotte, I just noticed that you have a strong mouth, just like when you were a child, my mother only needs one
When the food is ready, you must knock on the door, so hurry up and try it while it’s hot..."
From this moment on.
Shao Yang had already entered the character's emotions. He looked at the noodles on the table and thought of many sad things in the past. There were scenes of him lying alone in the ward after getting gastric cancer in his previous life, and scenes of him graduating from college in this life.
After working overtime until late at night, I walked home alone...
Sad things from the past flooded into his memory, making Shaoyang's expression look particularly lost.
The camera zooms in.
Charlotte, played by Shao Yang, slowly reached out to pick up the bowls and chopsticks on the table, and was stunned for a long time.
Ma Dongmei, who had already sat down next to her, asked softly: "What, you can't get used to it?"
With tears in Charlotte's eyes, she picked up the noodles and took a bite. Then she ate faster and faster...
"Oh, please eat slowly, no one will compete with you... I remember when I was a child, you took me to the next village to eat skewers, but you ate in a hurry and vomited all over the naan, haha, you know
I don’t know, until now I see that pizza, oh, it makes me sick..."
Seeing Xia Luo crying, Ma Dongmei was stunned for a moment and asked: "Did I call you disgusting?"
Charlotte put down the bowl, looked at Ma Dongmei, and said affectionately: "Dongmei... I once had a dream. I dreamed that we were married, but our lives were not happy. I drank heavily all day long to make you angry. Finally one day
You couldn't bear it anymore and you said you wanted to divorce me..."
"Stop joking, you are such a big star, how can I be so lucky..."
"The two of us are squeezed into this 40-square-meter hut. The water is cut off every Tuesday night, and the power is cut off whenever we use the microwave. Every time we go to the toilet, we have to..."
Hearing Charlotte say this, Ma Dongmei was so frightened that she stood up: "Charlotte!"
"When winter comes, I get stomach troubles, so you rub your hands to warm my stomach. Once I fell into a well and knocked out my front teeth, so you stayed by my side and ate melon seeds while I was there.
Annoying, who knew that all the melon seeds you knocked out were for me. In order to make me quit smoking, you hid all the lighters in the house behind the radiator, and later the lighters were fried..."
This line is very long.
Charlotte spoke very slowly, with tears rolling in her eyes at first, but by the time she finished speaking, the tears had already flowed out.
"Okay, click!"
After Yan Fei stood up and applauded, everyone around him started applauding too.
Not to mention that Shao Yang has never studied acting. Even if a person who has studied acting performs this scene, it may not be as good as Shao Yang's performance.
Everyone, including Yan Fei, was already admiring Shaoyang.
Who says Shaoyang doesn't understand movies.
Not only can he write scripts and direct, his acting skills also surpass more than 90% of actors in the industry!
Shao Yang took the tissue from Xue Jiajia's hand, wiped the corners of his eyes, and walked to the monitor to watch the replay.
"I can pass this time, what do you think, Director Yan?"
"No problem at all."
"Then let's rest for a few minutes and continue later."
"Okay~"
A very motivated group of people.
…
The days passed day by day.
Shao Yang switched from being the leading actor to being the director day after day. When he took a break at night, he would often call Xiao Yue'er to ask about the situation at school.
The penultimate day of September.
With the final scene completed, the crew finally completed all shooting tasks.
A group of staff pushed up a large cake, and finally, at Yan Fei's suggestion, a group photo was taken.
The crew members also received red envelopes prepared by Shao Yang for them, and everyone's faces were filled with happy smiles.
While everyone else was sharing the cake, Shao Yang pulled Yan Fei aside and said with a smile: "Director Yan, I will trouble you to keep an eye on the movie later. When the finished film comes out, let me know as soon as possible."
"no problem."
Yan Fei smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, it's really a pleasure to work with you. I hope we have a chance to cooperate next time."
To be continued...
