"Director Dai, how many people do you have in your team?"
Sitting on Dai Chengbi Cheng, Xia Yu glanced at Director Dai, who was not even qualified to be a driver and drove himself, and asked him politely.
Dai Chengbi scratched his head in shock,
"...it's just me and the finance team, don't worry, I've already rented the other teams from Great Wall Film and Television, and they will definitely be in place before filming starts!"
Xia Yu smiled helplessly, no wonder he had to be dragged into choosing a role.
But thinking about it, Dai Chengbi's previous works basically encountered censorship failures. Even if the two or three films he produced were of good quality, they were not well received or not. Although they did not lose money to the point of selling the iron, they did not make much money.
Now that I have worked so hard to get the investment, how can I be willing to use the money to support the team?
After turning on the turn signal and taking advantage of the traffic jam, Dai Chengbi looked at Xia Yu who was still diligently turning over the script, especially since the script looked like it had been turned over countless times. He felt a little embarrassed, "I called you up, yes
Didn’t I waste your time?"
Xia Yu smiled, "Director Dai, you didn't think you were delaying me when you dragged me to eat, but now you are more polite?"
Dai Chengbi laughed loudly and returned to his true nature, "Isn't this because you have figured out the basics and you are completely broke? I'm sorry!"
The Imperial Academy of Fine Arts has several campuses. The two of them came to the Huajia campus. Today’s Monday is also the week before the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts’ holiday. That is to say, Dai Chengbi is lucky. If it is two or three days later, everyone in this academy will be on summer vacation.
Went.
At one forty in the afternoon, the two of them arrived at the gate of the Academy of Fine Arts twenty minutes early.
After filling out the visit form and calling the guard to confirm, Dai Chengbi drove straight in and parked next to a teaching building.
The Imperial Academy of Fine Arts has a history of a hundred years, twenty or thirty years before the founding of the Film Academy, and has an ancient charm and artistic conception.
There are many famous alumni.
It has been several years since Xia Yu came to the Imperial Capital, but this was his first time here. Before he even got off the bus, he was already equipped with a hat and a mask.
In other words, I didn’t take off my mask or wear my sunglasses along the way. If I did, I would be too conspicuous.
Not to mention Xia Yu, even Dai Chengbi didn't expect that the crowd of people walking back and forth outside the teaching building made him frown.
Xia Yu asked him: "Director Dai, did you say such a big hello to an acquaintance?"
Dai Chengbi hesitated: "No, I don't have that much respect. Although I said hello, there were only about twenty or thirty people auditioning. How come there are two or three hundred people who cheered." There were both men and women, and he
There is no shortage of male actors.
After all, students who want to develop in the entertainment industry have been divided into various film and television academies as early as the college entrance examination. There are 70,000 to 80,000 candidates in the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts in China every year, but only 700 to 800 are admitted. Those who can get into the exam have no real talent.
Practical learning does not necessarily mean looking down on the entertainment industry. Moreover, after being screened by appearance and temperament, there are quite a few people in their twenties or thirties.
Dai Chengbi wanted to call his relatives, but as soon as he took out his mobile phone, the call came from the other side.
"Hey Lao Yu, what's going on today? It's very noisy here in the teaching building. Someone from the bureau is here to inspect?"
"Old Dai, I was just going to tell you, no, there are alumni who went back to their alma mater to visit their teachers. Hey, it doesn't conflict with your casting."
"Which alumnus, the battle is not small."
"You old boy must be familiar with the actor Yu Junhao in the recently popular movie "Prisoner"..."
"It's him... Okay, come here quickly. Without you to lead this battle, we might not be able to enter the teaching building."
Xia Yu was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that this young actor was from the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts.
Not long after I put down the phone, the person over there arrived.
The person who came was also of medium height, slightly shorter and thinner than Dai Chengbi. He also wore glasses and was about forty years old.
Dai Chengbi pointed at Lao Yu, then pointed at Xia Yu, and said: "This is Lao Yu, my distant cousin, and this is Xia Yu, I told you."
Xia Yu smiled and stretched out his hand, saying: "Hello, Teacher Yu, I am Xia Yu."
Lao Yu shook hands with her and said with a somewhat serious expression, "Just call me Lao Yu."
After saying that, he led Dai Chengbi and Xia Yu into the teaching building. It was exactly what Dai Chengbi said. If Lao Yu hadn't come down to swipe their cards, they might not even be able to enter the teaching building gate.
Yu Junhao's return to his alma mater to visit his teachers was not a big one, but a bit small. The information was blocked. Naturally, Lao Yu had inside information, and he trusted Dai Chengbi, so he revealed it. He said that Yu Junhao had donated 20 million to his alma mater in a very low-key manner.
.
It doesn't sound like much, but one or two three-bedroom apartments can be sold in better areas of the imperial capital.
Dai Chengbi has a lot of connections, but the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts is a school directly under the official government. Lao Yu’s position is not low, but the back door cannot be too big for him. Two classrooms are arranged for him, the larger one is for the students of the academy, and the smaller one is for the students of the academy.
used for auditions.
When a few people passed by the large classroom, twenty-seven students were already preparing. Although Dai Chengbi had stated in advance that makeup was not allowed, as they passed by, they could still see the female students carefully 'preparing' and trying to fool them with bare makeup.
Director Dai Da.
Dai Chengbi didn't say anything, and Xia Yu didn't deliberately remind her that this was no longer her job.
But probably because of this, Dai Chengbi's face fell when he arrived in the classroom. He took out a stack of forms from his bag and placed it on the classroom podium. He said expressionlessly: "You fill out the forms first, and then follow the order of the forms. In ten minutes
Then there will be an interview. Each person will have two chances, ten minutes each time. No problem, right? No problem, just take the time to fill it out."
Just when Xia Yu thought that Dai Chengbi would endure it for a while and wait until the audition, he would recruit one or two people to scare the monkeys and reveal that they did not follow the rules for auditioning without makeup.
Dai Chengbi took a deep breath, took out a bottle of cleansing oil from his bag, and said:
"I'll give you five more minutes to wipe off those messy things on your face. I don't want to see any traces of makeup for the audition later! If you can't do it, you can go back and forth wherever you want!"
"Don't be too smart!"
These students were so frightened that they all shrank their necks.
After saying that, I went to the audition classroom.
Dai Chengbi and Xia Yu were sitting in the middle of the classroom. There was a camera in the first row. One was to test the newcomer's camera sense, and the other was to record the recording process. After all, it was rare to fix the angle on the spot, and most of them were watched repeatedly.
After bringing Dai Chengbi and two others, Lao Yu left. They were very busy near the end of the term.
The students who auditioned fifteen minutes later did not arrive on time, and Xia Yu thought to herself that they were in a terrible situation.
As time passed, Dai Chengbi was getting closer to breaking out. He tapped his fingers on the table repeatedly, which made Xia Yu feel dizzy.
I thought to myself, 'I haven't heard of any director with a good temper?'
