Fang Hui was in a very happy mood when she accompanied Lu Chen to Beijing for casting.
Very pleasant.
Two years ago, Fang Hui was just a second- or third-rate director in the film and television industry. Although she had filmed many film and television dramas, the big hits were still far away from the big names in the industry.
Although the money earned is not very small, Fang Hui has her own ambitions.
The first time I collaborated with Lu Chen was to shoot a video for the title song of the most popular girl group in the Chinese music scene. Lu Chen was the male protagonist in the film.
At that time, Lu Chen left a deep impression on Fang Hui.
But she didn't expect that after that cooperation, Lu Chen would actually call and invite her to film a TV series.
Fang Hui agreed, and then "Blue Life and Death Love" was born!
This urban emotional drama was a huge success, even setting a ratings record in South Korea, and promoted Fang Hui herself to the position of a quasi-first-line TV drama director.
After years of perseverance, she became famous in one drama! At that time, Fang Hui was a little carried away.
As a result, she almost missed Lu Chen's second TV series "Full House" because of this. Thinking about it now, her mentality was really a bit unbalanced at that time.
Fortunately, she woke up in time and continued to direct "Full House", making herself truly one of the leading actors!
This time, Lu Chen was preparing to film the final drama of his urban trilogy. Fang Hui had vacated her schedule early and turned down many film and television drama offers. The loss was so great that her agent was very heartbroken.
According to the agreement between her and Lu Chen, the salary for directing "My Love from the Star" was only twice as high as that of "Full House", which was a big difference from her current net worth.
But Fang Hui enjoyed it so much that she even told her agent that she would be willing to direct this TV series and work for Lu Chen in vain even if it didn't cost her a penny.
Although this is just a joke, it also shows that Fang Hui attaches great importance to this TV series.
Because Fang Hui has every reason to believe that "My Love from the Star" will create the pinnacle of her life and career!
With this strong self-confidence, Fang Hui came to Jingying Film Casting. Her level was different, and her eyes were more critical and strict than the last time she came.
"My Love from the Star" has a total investment budget of nearly 100 million and a length of 35 episodes. Both the story setting and plot content are far richer than the previous two films, so the filming difficulty and requirements have naturally increased accordingly.
Then the role in the play is very important!
The first Jingying film student to come on stage for an interview had studied in the academy for three years and was a senior after the summer vacation. He had good appearance and had acting experience, but he did not have a good impression on Fang Hui.
There were several problems in a very simple improvisational performance, and I was even more nervous than a freshman.
So she could only say sorry in her heart and directly said: "Next one."
Jingyingsheng, who was on the stage, knew very well that he had failed in his performance. Facing his teacher's hateful eyes in the audience, he was so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. He just wanted to find a place to give himself a slap in the face.
hand.
Being the first to appear is very stressful, but it is also easy to leave a deep impression on the director.
The result is a bad impression.
The most important thing is that he knew very well what this opportunity meant to him. He was so excited that he asked, "Teacher Lu, Teacher Fang, can you give me another chance?"
Seeing his remorseful look, Fang Hui couldn't help but feel sympathy and asked Lu Chen beside him with her eyes.
Lu Chen shook his head again.
It's not that he doesn't give the other party a chance, but that this person is not the ideal candidate in his mind.
Teacher Chen from the Jingying Academic Affairs Office, who was sitting on the right side of Lu Chen, was very good at observing words and expressions, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Gao Zhen, pay attention to discipline, the students behind you are still waiting!"
He must be the villain, otherwise Lu Chen and Fang Hui will be in trouble?
And if everyone is like this, then what reputation does Jingying have? The students are taught so poorly, right?
Gao Zhen drooped his head and wilted off the stage like an eggplant beaten by frost.
Also in the background were the classmates who had come for the interview. Most of them looked at him with gloating eyes, and a few who were familiar with Gao Zhen comforted him. As for what they were thinking in their hearts, that's another story.
Opportunities are very precious, and opportunities are also very rare. A TV series like this is really a carrot and a trap. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for students like them to have the opportunity.
That is to say, Lu Chen especially likes to recruit new people, so everyone has a chance.
One less competitor means more hope.
"No. 2!"
The interview started at 8:30 in the morning and lasted until 12 noon. There were 70 or 80 people who signed up to participate. You must know that there are only 20 or 30 people in a class in the Beijing Film and Television Performance Department. It can be said that most of the people came.
, and also includes a small number of non-acting major students.
I don’t know whose route I took, but I also got the opportunity to be interviewed.
Director Fang Hui was in charge of the casting, but she obviously respected Lu Chen's opinions very much. She discussed with Lu Chen from time to time during the interview process, and her words and deeds all touched the hearts of the students present.
"Number 109!"
Teacher Chen from the Academic Affairs Office moved a little uneasily and said to Lu Chen, "She should be the last one."
Lu Chen nodded and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Chen. Let's have a meal together at noon."
Teacher Chen smiled and said: "It's nothing hard, this is my job..."
He wished that Lu Chen could choose a few more students to come over. Although Jingying's influence was accumulated through batches of outstanding students, luck was really important in this circle.
Within the industry, Lu Chen has the reputation of being the "Rising Star with the Midas Touch." If Jingying Film can establish a long-term and good cooperative relationship with this young man who has the ability to make waves in the entertainment industry, it will be a huge gain.
One harm!
While talking, the last student walked to the middle of the stage, bowed slightly awkwardly and said: "Hello, three teachers, I am Jiang Yangxu, a grade 15 performance student. Please give me your advice."
"Um…"
Fang Hui, who was already a little tired, nodded. She flipped through the script in her hand casually, and then said: "Turn to page 10 of the script and act out the dialogue. I'll give you 1 minute to prepare."
.”
Because there were too many people, the time left for each interview student was very short, but they all received a brief script in advance, so there was actually plenty of preparation time.
"OK."
Jiang Yangxu agreed respectfully, took a deep breath, and opened the script he was holding tightly in his hand as quickly as possible.
