Hu Shuai has been having a good time these days and is in a good mood.
There was a letter from the agent. This audition in France was just a formality. The director watched the video he recorded some time ago and found a few previous works. After watching it, he was very satisfied.
In addition, in order to support his foreign film trip, the company sent a writer and a photographer to follow him a few days in advance to completely record it as a fan benefit and his memories.
This person was transferred from the variety show department. Although he basically followed him wherever he went, he felt quite happy when he thought of Su Yan's expression of reluctance.
So, while I am packing my things at home, I am also willing to have a few words with the writer.
"Hey, how many times have we been here in Paris now? It should be colder than here, right?" Hu Shuai was sitting in the living room of his home.
There was a huge suitcase on the floor, as well as clothes all over the floor.
"It's a little higher than here, the maximum temperature is about 15 degrees, but it's still quite cold at night."
"Well..." Lao Hu nodded: "Then you'd better bring some thick clothes. We have a flight tomorrow, an audition the day after tomorrow, and then we have three days of vacation. It's a pleasure."
"What movie are you going to shoot this time?"
"It's a literary film. I haven't revealed the specifics. After all, it hasn't been announced yet. I guess it's being kept a secret."
"Before departure, do you have anything to say to your fans?"
"I will work hard!" Lao Hu thought for a while, clenched his fists and shouted, then lowered his head shyly.
After filming for a while, the writer stopped and the three of them went in to chat.
"Are you coming together tomorrow?" Lao Hu asked.
"Well, our mission is not completed until your movie is over." The female writer nodded.
"Wouldn't it take a long time?"
"Don't worry, this is the last time at home, and from now on, it will mainly be on the set. You can completely ignore our existence."
"That's okay." Lao Hu felt relieved: "My manager is the same. Something is going on at this moment. I have to go to the airport by myself tomorrow."
"Mr. Hu, don't worry, the company will send a car to pick you up here tomorrow, and there will be another person from our film crew to be your assistant."
Lao Hu smiled and asked: "Is Su Yan very angry that you followed me? Hey, I haven't seen him in the past two days, where has he been?"
The writer's face remained calm and her heart was beating: "It's true that he's a little angry, but there's nothing he can do about it. I heard he's going back to Minjiang."
"Okay, you guys should go back early, you have to catch a flight tomorrow."
"Goodbye Mr. Hu."
…
The next day, at 12 o'clock in the evening, Hu Shuai finally arrived at his hotel, where he would meet with the director tomorrow.
He also reminded the writer to shout out tomorrow morning, lest he oversleep.
I thought that because of the time difference, I would need to stay up for a while, but as soon as Lao Hu opened his eyes, it was 8 o'clock and the alarm clock hadn't even gone off yet.
I leisurely went downstairs to have breakfast, changed into decent clothes, and then sat in the room waiting for the meeting.
He has been to Paris several times and is somewhat familiar with it. He even knows the directions to several famous attractions.
At nine o'clock, he arrived at the small conference room on the 17th floor for the meeting on time, and found that several cameras had been set up inside, but it seemed that no one had arrived yet.
After thinking about it, I sat down first.
There are also directors who film auditions in China, but not so many.
Soon, several foreigners came in, greeted Lao Hu affectionately, asked him to wait a moment, and said that the director had invited several actors to audition together.
Hu Shuai didn't think much about it. It's impossible for a director to make a special trip just for him. It's normal to try several people.
Seeing them busy there, although Lao Hu felt a little uncomfortable, he had to sit still.
Fortunately, it didn't embarrass him for too long. After a few minutes, the door opened.
"Teacher Wu!" Lao Hu exclaimed after looking up and seeing the person coming.
"Hey, Hu Shuai, why are you here?" Wu Gang was also surprised: "Are you here for the audition too?"
"Yes!" Lao Hu was very happy that such a coincidence happened: "Sit down quickly, the director will be waiting for a while, I heard there are a few more people."
This is probably what happens when you meet an old friend in a foreign country.
Seeing his friend, Lao Hu was no longer embarrassed. He chatted enthusiastically with Wu Gang in a low voice. He had just arrived yesterday and was staying in this hotel. Unfortunately, they didn't know each other.
The surprises don't seem to have stopped yet.
The arrival of Li Baotian and Li Xuejian after Wu Gang left Lao Hu speechless.
Is this definitely a film directed by a foreign director?
Why are the people who come to the audition all from me?
Although I was very confused, I still greeted the two teachers politely.
Likewise, they were also surprised to see Hu Shuai here.
"Is this an audition for a Chinese director?" Teacher Li Xuejian asked proactively.
Lao Hu shook his head: "No, I have received the other party's email. It is Mr. Pedro's movie. Since he chose us, he should have his reasons!"
Li Baotian nodded: "Hu Shuai, you should be the protagonist. I think Lao Litou and I are going to have a fight. The image is a bit repetitive."
"Come on, I also want to star in a foreign movie." Li Xuejian said there was no pressure.
"You said, there won't be any more Chinese actors." Wu just finished speaking, as if he was joking.
Mr. Wei Zongwan walked in, was stunned for a moment when he saw the people, and then smiled and greeted several people.
Lao Hu really has a smile on his face now. What is this? A team of Chinese actors have been auditioned in Paris. I am afraid the director has lost his mind and gone crazy.
The five of them chatted for a long time, and Lao Hu took the initiative to take the task of serving tea and water, and was there to serve them well.
While still looking at the staff, why hasn't the director come yet?
"Didn't we agree on 9 o'clock? It's already been a quarter, why haven't you come yet?" Li Xuejian was a little unhappy.
Lao Hu hurriedly stepped forward: "I'm going to ask. Teacher, don't be anxious. Take a drink of water first."
After finishing speaking and about to step forward, the foreign friend who had been burying his head raised his head and smiled: "The director is here, but he has a small request, which is to ask the actors to turn around first. He wants to see how their backs look.
"
Hu Shuai nodded, shouldn't you usually look at the face first when looking at your body shape? This director is also weird.
But it was good when people came. I went back to a few teachers and whispered the director's request. Fortunately, they didn't have any objections and went directly to the chairs prepared in front and sat down.
"Click!" The sound of opening the door sounded.
"These are actors from China. They have been waiting for you for a long time."
When Lao Hu heard the staff introduction in English just now, he was a little confused. This was not a Spanish director and could speak English, so why did the agent have to practice on his own.
Didn't wait for him to study it in detail.
"Mr Hu, please turn around."
Lao Hu was surprised, why did this voice sound so familiar to him, and turned around to look.
