Although Gu Zhao's audition for his new play caused a stir within the industry, there was no sound at all outside the industry.
This is similar to what Zhuang He said. If he didn't take the initiative to speak, to a large extent, the media studio would not dare to speak out. At their level, who doesn't represent capital?
Any media studio that dares to tell nonsense or leak lies is like a toad jumping into the frying pan and seeking death.
Xia Yu and Tao Tang also waited for half a year for this audition. Although Tao Tang was not able to get further information about the audition roles, the audition personnel and some side information were obtained.
There are a total of seven actresses who have qualified for the audition this time, Xia Yu, Cheng Yun, and Feng Miao are undoubtedly the ones.
The other four include the other two of the four famous actresses who have been famous for a long time. As well as Guodu, two powerful actresses who are not as popular as the four major actresses but are highly recognized by major directors in the film industry!
The night before, the sisters, who have always been nonchalant about acting and playing roles, were a little anxious. They hadn't even gone to the audition hall yet, and even though they were at home, the atmosphere was already starting to get anxious.
However, because there was an audition early the next morning, Tao Tang waved his hand and sent the two of them back to the room to rest.
Early the next morning.
Xia Yu got up at a quarter before six o'clock on time.
[The second phase of the "Future Science Fiction Movie World" course has ended, with a score of A.]
Although we don’t know yet what specific role the audition will lead to, the movie is roughly set.
"Science fiction epic".
Although Xia Yu didn't say he had to win this audition, he still attached great importance to it - this was Xia Yu's first exploration into the international film industry! It was completely worth spending 500,000 points to redeem a course.
This is a "play-within-a-play" course where people under the background of contemporary society go to film the "Future World".
And it has to be said that although this "future world" is still limited to the science fiction elements that the current world knows.
For example - apocalypse, alien, deep sea, starry sky.
But for Xia Yu, who has never been exposed to "science fiction movies" before, it is still a feast for the eyes and taste buds!
Unexpectedly, but also expected, both Tao Tang and Meng Dong were still sleeping;
Until Xia Yu went to the community park for a long run and played a set of Baguazhang. Because of this set of palm skills, the old men and women who had been doing morning exercises early in the freshman year grabbed a piece and played around with it.
There is no way, after several years of playing this set of palm skills, he has become more and more proficient, and his playing skills are fluent. Even if Xia Yu wears a mask, with this set of palm skills, he can still seize the opportunity in the circle of these old men and old ladies.
got a place.
They didn't hide their inner thoughts, "Girl, where did you learn your palm skills? Did you practice it since childhood? You're so handsome!" A few days ago, Xia Yu was even attracted by them on the elderly WeChat account
In the group.
Xia Yu also had the experience of being an "old lady", so he felt a natural affinity towards these old people——
I don't mind, or even be willing to, chat with them occasionally and reminisce.
After returning early after eating, the two of them got up from the bed with panda eyes darker than the other when they heard some noise. No need to ask, except for Xia Yu, neither of them slept well last night.
Xia Yu changed his shoes, put breakfast on the table, looked at the time, six forty-seven, and said simply: "There are still two hours and thirteen minutes until the audition. You can still get up at seven-thirty."
"It won't take more than half an hour. By the time your audition is over, you'll have time to sleep again!"
After Tao Tang finished speaking, she picked up and threw away the empty cigarette case from the table, took another pack from the drawer of the TV cabinet, picked up the ashtray, went into the balcony, and closed the balcony window - although she smoked
, but there is no smell of smoke in the house.
"I can sleep in the car soon!" Meng Dong was an honest girl. He made a pot of coffee and tea for Tao Tang. Finally, he took the still scalding coffee into the toilet and wanted to drink it while he drank it. Xia Yu asked before
Pass her, she said it saves time.
Xia Yu was confused at that time: "..." Is this the question I asked?
However, everyone has their own "hobbies". Xia Yu told Tao Tang once to no avail, so he stopped talking about it.
We set out at about eight o'clock. In fact, the building where Gu Zhao's studio is located is only two or three kilometers away from Weiranju. It is usually only a few minutes away in the middle of the night. However, this section of the road is a bit congested early in the morning. In order to avoid emergencies, we arrived one hour earlier.
Hour.
Originally, Xia Yu was not nervous about this audition. For her, because of her achievements, she hoped to wait until the third stage of achievements was completed and won all the mainstream awards in China before stepping into the international arena.
However, as soon as she got in the car, Tao Tang became calmer. Maybe in the eyes of others, it was called "Taishan collapsed in front of her but her appearance remained unchanged." But how well did Xia Yu know Tao Tang? The calmer she was, the more she paid attention to her.
The more nervous...
Meng Dong clasped his hands tightly and rubbed them back and forth. There were just three big words carved on his forehead, "I'm nervous!"
Xia Yu sighed helplessly: "I'm auditioning, I'm not nervous yet, what are you doing?"
Anyway, tension is tension, so let’s analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the seven people to ease the atmosphere.
"Although the role of this audition has not been revealed, we can roughly estimate the age of the actors invited by Gu Zhao to audition;"
"Three of the four great actresses were invited. The only one who did not receive a request is about to turn forty this year. The remaining three are all thirty-five or younger, and the youngest among them is thirty-five.
Three-year-old Feng Miao!"
"The other four, the youngest is Yu Bao, who is twenty-four years old, the oldest is thirty-two-year-old Fu Yijun, followed by thirty-year-old Cheng Yun, and twenty-seven-year-old Jia Shasha!"
"To be honest among the four major actresses, in terms of acting skills, Wei Fei, who is nearly 40 years old, is the first Queen of Wei to defend the Golden Rooster Award three times, win the Golden Horse once, and be nominated for the Golden Horse and Golden Statue several times. If
It's not about the subject matter, it's about investment. She can't take care of three awards. With her acting skills, she became the first actress to win the three major Chinese film mainstream awards a few years ago. Although she is nearly forty, she maintains
It's appropriate, and there is no conflict in time. In recent years, I have occasionally produced overseas works, and I have focused my attention on the international scene. Why didn't I get an invitation?" In the final analysis, it coincides with Guan Jing's moral gossip from Gu Zhao.
Five keywords: young actress!
"Three of them are a few years older than you. Although they are still young and beautiful, in general, there are still traces of age. Whether it is appearance or mentality, they all lack the feeling of a girl!"
"Based on the news I got here, Gu Zhao was also worried that you young actresses might not be able to hold on to your roles, so he invited three people who are a few years older but whose acting skills are guaranteed to join.
.”
For many years, Gu Zhao's energy has been focused overseas, and he has not fully understood some domestic situations, although the four major actresses have been the benchmark in "acting and business" in the past.
But in recent years, with the expansion of the film and television industry, although the film and television industry has entered a cold winter, talents have mushroomed. It is no longer the time seven or eight years ago when the film and television industry in mainland China was just emerging.
Over the years, except for the eldest one and Feng Miao, these "Queen"-level celebrities have long been focusing more on "capital". Acting skills have long been a priority.
A movie that was shot in two years has already been criticized.
It's an understatement to say that a talent has been exhausted, and one of them is even known as a "box office poison".
So Gu Zhao actually worried too much about acting.
There is a saying that Tao Tang didn't say, but everyone understood: Although seven people were invited, in fact, it was a competition between five people!
And if we look more closely, it is actually a competition between four or even three people!
"But it doesn't mean that you three are the most popular actresses at the moment. Although you don't know the direction of your roles, this movie is a 'science fiction epic' and the three of you have never been exposed to it. On the contrary, Jia
Sasha, although her acting skills are inferior and she has made many bad movies, she has participated in two domestically produced science fiction movies, and she starred as the female lead in one of them, which is why she has a good reputation.
The best one among the movies, which is also the biggest reason why she has appeared in many bad movies and has mixed reputations in the industry, but she still gets the invitation!" Tao Tang peeled off the cocoon through the information she learned.
Xia Yu listened and absorbed this information - and finally Tao Tang took out another document.
In fact, this document was delivered to Xia Yu as soon as possible after the filming of "Jinling Sacrifice" was completed and he returned to the imperial capital. It was about Gu Zhao's personal living habits, as well as personal, work, and business relationships with various directors.
Some information is either friendly or abrasive.
Not to mention that Tao Tang does everything she can, not to mention that she is very scheming, this is what a professional agent must do!
If it were made into a course, the title would be something like this:
"On how to deal with agents in the entertainment industry correctly and balance your interpersonal relationships in the industry"
These include things as small as the food Gu Zhao likes to eat, what foods he is allergic to, what brand of mineral water he likes to drink, what brand of clothes he likes to wear, what brand of glasses and watches he likes to wear; as big as which company and director he has a good relationship with
, which company and director I had a disagreement with, had friction with, and even had a falling out with!
There are a few things worth noting here. For example, although Gu Zhao's studio is in the imperial capital, it is affiliated to Pearl Century; and, at one point, Gu Zhao and Xu Wei had a dispute, and the two had co-produced a movie.
The martial arts movie is called "Besieged on All Sides".
Because the two had differences of opinion during the filming process, Gu Zhao stopped filming halfway through the filming, and Gu Zhao held half of the copyright. If Xu Wei wanted to finish filming, she had to buy the other half from him, which ultimately led to this
A movie ends in vain.
Also, in the early years, Gu Zhao had a conflict with Mr. Zhuang, and was scolded by Mr. Zhuang, but in the end, for some unknown reason, the two reconciled. But the relationship between the two cannot be considered very good, and the one who has the best relationship with him
The Huaxia director is the most low-key one, Ji Yuchang, one of the three directors who shoots profound themes in Chinese history - in addition, there are many incidents...
Wait... These are all things Tao Tang has sorted out little by little with the help of his personal connections over the years - not to mention many outside the circle, even within the circle, may not know! This is why Tao Tang has been able to
One of the major factors that made things prosperous and was able to obtain resources even when Xia Yu was "banned"!
Xia Yu has long memorized this document.
"Are you familiar with this document? Then I will deal with it later." Although collecting peer information is a consensus within the circle, it cannot be published. At the same time, she added: "
Cheng Yun also knows this information!"
Xia Yu looked at her and nodded, not surprised.
"Although it is important to master information, the most important thing in the audition is your own strength!"
"This is a battle between dragons and tigers. No one is a vegetarian. In order to take this step towards the international level, everyone will do their best!" They won't even show mercy - because just these days, the Internet has already
Announcements of pornographic or shady material appear constantly.
The ones who are beautiful are the ones who suppress Xia Yu. These people don’t dare to make fun of Xia Yu, and they are very smart. On the one hand, they are bullying Xia Yu, and on the other hand, they are suppressing the newcomers! Of course they will not get along with Xia Yu, then
That's really stupid.
This is the advantage of having a background. Of course, the other thing is that Xia Yu really doesn't have any dirty information for them to catch.
The black material was leaked by Cheng Yun and several others. It was mixed with half truth and falsehood, but it was not the kind of lawsuit.
The worst among them is Jia Shasha, who has starred in two science fiction movies——
From here, you can somewhat feel that a group of people are afraid of her!
These are all routine operations in the industry.
Not just actresses or celebrities either.
Actors, directors...there are all of them.
And Xia Yu didn't go back to pay attention to these, Meng Dong also, after hanging out with Tao Tang for so long, taking many courses, and experiencing so many things, he had already mastered it, and only after he paid attention to these drafts, he became more familiar.
Easy to ferment!
Xia Yu's fans are coming from generation to generation, each becoming more sophisticated than the other. As long as Xia Yu's studio doesn't speak out, they won't even bother to talk to him!
Moreover, their Yu Bao's popularity, regardless of whether he is the mastermind or the victim, as long as we are not willing, no one can take advantage of him!
Early in the morning, it was still a Monday, and there were cars coming and going in this area, and it was so jam-packed that the two or three kilometers away was stuck in traffic for forty minutes. I had just been in the imperial capital for a quarter, and I still hadn’t gotten used to it.
Xue Tong, who was stuck in a traffic jam, received a wake-up call!
No way, just ten minutes after the traffic light turned green, I already rolled my eyes no less than ten times.
Xiao Mengdong understood this very well. She happened to be sitting in the passenger seat, connected the car to her mobile phone's Bluetooth, and played the Suzhou Pingtan "Yingying Xiangyue" to Xue Tong.
This was one of the pieces of music that Xia Yu heard when she was learning Suzhou Pingtan for the role of Zhao Yumo, which was very suitable for the traffic jam situation in the imperial capital.
Let’s listen to a piece——
Xue Tong commented: "Completely consistent!"
Several people were happy.
Fortunately, at 8:42, the car successfully entered the underground garage of the building where Gu Zhao's studio is located!
