When the agent confirmed this matter to Zhao Liying, his mood was a bit complicated.
She is just an agent randomly arranged by Huayi for Zhao Liying. She also lacks enough experience and can only follow the company's internal arrangements.
Now a movie heroine hits Zhao Liying on the head, but she can't be happy.
"This drama is conditional, Li Ying!" the agent said earnestly: "Tianze requires that even if you pass the audition, you must sign a contract with Tianze to get the chance to be the heroine."
"But you have already signed an artist contract with Huayi. Based on your current worth, the liquidated damages will be at least 300,000 yuan. Can you afford it?"
"Also, if you leave and Huayi will hate you, are you sure that Tianze, a newly established company, can stop Huayi from targeting you?"
Zhao Liying thought about it. Over the past year or so, Hua Yidu had not paid much attention to her.
Compared to acting, she spends more time drinking with investors?
So he shook his head and said:
"Sister, this is an opportunity for me. I don't want to miss it. I can't pay the 300,000 liquidated damages now, but I can make up for it with a loan."
"When I leave the company, I will also have a good talk with Huayi. They can't allow the artist to leave, right?"
She blinked her big eyes: "How about, sister, you go to Tianze with me, and you can continue to be my agent."
"Oh! Well, Li Ying, I can only wish you good luck." As for changing jobs... forget it.
She said she was an agent, but in fact she was just a small person. She couldn't afford the liquidated damages, and she didn't dare to offend Huayi.
Not only Zhao Liying, but also Shen Teng and Ma Li who received invitations to audition did not hesitate to leave Happy Mahua.
If you can get a leading role in a movie, who would like to act in a stage play?
Even though I am happy that I have been kind to them.
But water flows to lower places and people go to higher places. This is a natural law.
Soon after, the actors, including the actor who had taken the lead role in the zombie film, rushed to Tianze Film Company at the same time.
However, what Tangze didn't expect was...
He only held auditions for the male lead role, but there were people running for all the roles.
There were more than a hundred actors auditioning this time.
Although most of the hundreds of people are just lucky extras, there are also a few well-known actors among them.
Tangze didn't have that much time, so he first auditioned for the female lead in the zombie movie, and let the company's employees roughly select other roles.
He will re-elect actors who meet the standards.
……
The place where the heroine of the zombie film auditions is a temporary tent.
Including other character auditions next door, it is also in the same venue.
It's very simple, but the actors bustling outside were not dissatisfied and seemed eager to try it out.
At this time, Tang Ze was sitting in the center, and the selection of the heroine officially began.
As an actor personally invited by Tang Ze, Zhao Liying was naturally the first to appear.
Tang Ze gave instructions: "When a zombie pounces on you, please make your reaction."
Zhao Liying bowed politely and started her performance. She screamed and backed away with her head in her arms.
Tang Ze nodded: "OK! I'm very satisfied. Ms. Zhao Liying, please go down and wait for notification."
"Thank you, Director Tang!"
Zhao Liying didn't say much, just smiled sweetly and went out.
Tang Ze was satisfied with her, which made her feel relieved.
Although she was named by Karasawa, she thought she would audition alone at first, but she didn't expect there were so many people.
At this time, Zhao Liying's acting skills are not very good, or even non-existent.
However, the requirements for the female protagonist are met.
And when she makes a slightly childish and frightened expression, it makes people feel very cute and cute, and will not make people feel disgusted.
This is a very important trait for the heroine.
For the first half hour of the movie, you have to rely on that kind of dramatic bad acting. Once the movie goes on for a little longer, the audience may give up.
But with Zhao Liying's sweet face supporting the show, the audience is likely to be willing to sit for a longer time.
Of course, there are many actors who need to audition later, and it’s not over yet.
"Ah!"
Tang Ze’s instructions to the actors behind him were exactly the same as Zhao Liying’s.
The actress followed the instructions and gave an exaggerated performance, dancing with joy and eyes like bells.
Hmm... Not bad, it meets the requirements of bad movies and bad acting.
But what he wants is the raw feeling of acting for the first time, rather than working hard to perform bad acting.
However, Tangze kept a spring-like smile and said politely: "Thank you for your performance. Just wait for the notification. I will tell you if you pass."
In fact, he has given the actress a cross.
The actress obviously knew that she would probably lose the election and was very disappointed, asking Tang Ze to give her another chance.
But Tang Ze was unemotional and hard-hearted and rejected her.
Competition is cruel, in all walks of life.
"Next!"
The actress performs, Tangze makes a judgment and makes a cross.
"Next!"
Fork.
Tangze passed one actress after another like a robot.
When he thought this would last until the end, he was halfway through saying "下" when the actress behind him rushed in.
When he saw Tang Ze, he screamed, which frightened him instead.
"Ah! Tangtang, I am your fan. I signed up for the Screen Actors Guild for you. It doesn't matter if I don't get this role, but can I get your autograph and take a photo with you?"
"Yes...it's okay..."
Tang Ze couldn't refuse, so he signed the fan's autograph and even made a scissor hand gesture in front of the camera.
After the other party got what he wanted, he happily went out without even trying for an audition, which made Tangze's eyes twitch.
However, several of the actors behind him are his fans, and they seemed to come to the audition just to take a look at him.
Fortunately, most of them asked for autographs, photos or hugs, and there were no excessive demands.
Is he already so influential?
It also allows female fans to temporarily register as actors.
However, Tang Ze was not very happy, but felt very troubled and sad.
He really wanted to say: "Girls, you are increasing my workload. There are still many roles that I have to take care of myself."
Of course, worries are worries, and fans still have to leave happily.
Then it started to repeat, and the instructions given by Karasawa remained the same.
In fact, there are actors who can meet the requirements of the heroine in the middle, but in fact, Karasawa has already decided on this role.
If it weren't for the sake of appearing fair and just, Tangze would give them a cross.
"The penultimate one...Shu Chang!"
Tang Ze hesitated for a while, then looked at the last auditionee, whose name was Yang Mi.
He thought it was the same name, and after repeatedly reading the introductions of the two women, they were the same two in his impression.
It doesn’t make sense!
This movie only has a budget of 400,000 yuan, and there are many restrictions.
Yang Mi’s current reputation is indeed average, but Shu Chang has already played the heroine in several TV series.
Moreover, since they were both born as child stars, their respective contract companies must be very considerate of them. Are they willing to change jobs?
Tang Ze suppressed his doubts for the time being and quickly let two actresses who would be both famous in the future pass.
After sorting out a list of qualified actors, Tang Ze called them all together.
He said: "Ladies, please come this way. The venue for the re-election must be moved to another place."
Yang Mi smiled gently and said: "Well, Director Tang, how likely am I to get this role?"
Shu Chang also said: "Where's me?"
At this time, Tang Ze still favored Zhao Liying, but he did not insist on rejecting other actresses. He made a riddle: "The size of the heart is the size of the possibility."
Yang Mi said: "Director Tang is very talented in literature. If he doesn't directly agree, then he refuses, right? He even says the refusal so tactfully."
Of course, even after saying that, they still followed Tangze to re-elect.
