It has always been the director's right to select actors. If the producers and investors want to force one or two people in, there is no problem. They can just arrange a supporting role. This article was first published by... But in
For the crew of "A Man on the Road", director Ye Ming is also the producer, so a phone call like this from Huang Xu feels a bit like bullying.
Ye Ming said unceremoniously: "The actors recommended by Producer Huang naturally said that they can give it a try. We happen to have a few supporting actors in the crew who want to show their faces to the society. You can just ask them to come to the crew to audition tomorrow afternoon. I will do it appropriately.
I will take care of you."
It would be inappropriate to refuse directly, but if you accept these people, then if Huang Xu goes too far in his words, director Ye Ming will no longer have to do it.
Therefore, at this time, Ye Ming also unceremoniously asked Huang Xi's people to participate in the audition.
The meaning is of course very obvious. One is that your people also need to audition. If their acting skills are good, I will use them. The garbage should go back to where it belongs.
Huang Xu was a little annoyed now: "Director Ye, what I mean is that you arrange it directly, and you have to arrange suitable roles. Don't you understand what I mean?"
What does a suitable role mean? This naturally means that it is very obvious and must be an important supporting role. If it is not important, then how can it appear that Huang Xu is the producer in such a situation?
Huang Xu also expected that Ye Ming would never give him this face. After all, he was the producer sent by the film studio. As long as he didn't sign by then, the movie would not be over. In the future, Ye Ming would beg for himself a lot.
Therefore, at this time, Huang Xu actually did not expect that Ye Ming refused so simply.
At this time, Ye Ming repeated: "My meaning is very clear. If you pass the audition, you will stay. If you don't succeed, you can do whatever you want. Producer Huang, your film studio has already recommended someone. Don't challenge me."
Be patient.”
After saying that, Ye Ming hung up the phone unceremoniously, without giving Huang Xu any face as the producer. Huang Xu was so angry that he smashed his purple clay teacup into pieces. This Ye Ming didn't know how to show appreciation at all.
, since you are said to be in the first year of junior high school, then I will be in the fifteenth to let you know how powerful I, Huang Xu, was. But at this time, when he saw the broken purple clay tea cup on the ground, Huang Xi also felt a little distressed. This is serious.
The Yixing Zisha, an old object from the reign of Guangxu, has been with me for seven or eight years. It is like an old friend. I didn't expect that it would be smashed to pieces by me today. It was all caused by that damn Ye Ming.
But at this time, Huang Xu calmed down and was still in the mood to take the camera. He still had to do what needed to be done. He had accepted everyone's money, so he had to pick up the phone and dial a number: "Liu Wenju, it's me.
, I have already done what you asked me to do. Tomorrow you take your classmates to [People on the Road] to audition. By the way, let Nie Jingjing come to my discount tonight. I have some things to pay attention to.
I have to tell her."
At this time, there was a young and handsome boy on the other end of the phone. He looked like a college graduate with little social experience. When he heard that he was going to audition, he suddenly became a little unhappy: "Producer Huang. We are
But we agreed that for one thousand yuan, you can guarantee that we can have a supporting role in "The Man on the Road", and we are the swindlers who sent the money to you. Now you are saying that we pressured the auditions, doesn't this mean that you still have to play a supporting role?
Is it possible that we will be removed?"
If you want to play a role in a movie, it must be related. If it is not related, then you have to spend money. For example, the opportunity for Ye Ming to audition for "Huan Zhuge Ge" can be said to be bought with money.
.
Therefore, in a situation like this, each role can be said to have a clearly marked price. How much does it cost to be able to show your face in front of the camera, how much does it cost to have lines, how much does it cost to be big, special or small?
How much money different supporting roles cost has a certain price tag.
For example, those who can show their faces on movie cameras usually cost thirty or fifty yuan. After buying the relationship, even if they are extras, they will be taken care of by the camera. There will be certain frontal shots. If there are lines,
Sorry, the minimum is 200 yuan. If you have a supporting role, the price will be determined based on the importance. But no matter what, 1,000 yuan is actually a pretty good price. Ordinary students can't afford this.
of a price.
But Liu Wenju and the others gritted their teeth and accepted such a price in order to be able to star in "The Journey". Huang Xu was immediately furious. Ye Ming dared not to take me seriously, but you are a little kid.
The young newcomer also dared to be presumptuous with me, it was too bold.
At that moment, Huang Xu was furious and said loudly: "Liu Wenju, you dare this alligator to talk to me. Who are you? One thousand yuan, how much do you think it is? Do you think you can buy a suitable supporting role? I am just
He said that since you are a student, I will give you a chance.
If you want it, take it; if you don’t want it, push it away. There are more people who are willing to take it.”
Ye Ming is the Golden Horse Best Actor, and there are many of you who want to get such an opportunity. Even the number of places for this audition is limited."
Hearing Huang Xu's rage, Liu Wenju immediately wilted. He drooped his head like an eggplant beaten by frost and said: "Producer Huang, don't be angry. That's not what I meant. You sir have a lot of,,,,,,."
Huang Xu said: "If you love me, don't let me down." Then he hung up the phone directly. What he bought for one thousand yuan was just an audition opportunity. This was not good news for Liu Wenju.
I told one of my classmates that the young man who bought the role with me was a fat man, Han Fei, who was also Liu Wenju's best friend, and the other young and beautiful beauty was Nie Jingjing.
Han Fei is an impatient person. After hearing Huang Xu's words, he immediately slammed the table and said: "Huang Xu, this old bastard, is too deceitful. What he said was a good thing actually said that it was just an audition opportunity.
, No, I have to go find that bastard and ask him to return the money to us."
Nie Jingjing immediately glared at Han Fei fiercely and said, "Fat man, shut up. Things are not as simple as you think. There are rules in the circle. Is it possible to get back the money given out?"
Besides, if we go to make trouble, we won’t have the opportunity to audition. This is the agency fee, can’t you still see it?”
Whether it is an agency fee or a stepping stone, it is impossible to get back the money given out at a time like this. Although Nie Jingjing has just graduated, she has seen too many intrigues.
. Therefore, Huang Xu is no stranger to things like going back on his word. Huang Xu can give the three of them a chance, which is considered to be a more generous member of the circle.
If Huang Xu didn't even give them a chance to audition, that would be real misfortune. In fact, he spent money buying the role, but in the end he didn't even get a chance to audition.
The only way to do this is to knock out your teeth and swallow it in your own stomach. Regarding such a question, Zhou Jingjing’s understanding is the most direct and frank.
Han Fei also understood this. After Nie Jingjing's persuasion, his anger began to slowly calm down.
He sat down slowly and said: "Then we are too unlucky. This one thousand yuan is just an opportunity to audition?"
Liu Wenju shook his head helplessly. The cruel reality was that he was helpless with such a problem: "Jingjing, this old fox asked you to go there in the evening and said he wanted to treat you to dinner. I think he probably didn't have any good intentions.
, you’d better not go.”
Naturally, Nie Jingjing said that she knew what Huang Xu was thinking. The slightly powerful men on the crew would all have such and such ideas, but Nie Jingjing believed that the opportunity was not worth wasting on an irresponsible villain like Huang Xu.
After thinking about it, she still said worriedly: "If I don't go, will Producer Huang look for an opportunity to retaliate against us in the future? You must know that he is the producer of [The Journey]. If someone like this
As for holding grudges, we still can't escape the control of Producer Huang on an issue like this, so I'm still a little worried."
Liu Wenju said with some disdain: "These are not big things. Producer Huang made the mistake first. He clearly said that he would arrange some important supporting roles for us, but at this time, he used an audition.
You can fool yourself by asking for a quota of places. Don’t go. Once we pass the audition, we will be Ye Ming’s soldiers. At that time, Producer Huang will have to think carefully if he wants to move us."
The unspoken rules are not only about money, but also about beauty transactions. In fact, Huang Xu also covets Nie Jingjing, but he is not in a hurry. Nie Jingjing treats him with carelessness and refuses, just because he wants to get benefits.
That's all, when Nie Jingjing hits the wall, it will naturally mean that she knows how cruel this circle is.
At that time, Huang Xu thought that Nie Jingjing would still beg him obediently.
The living conditions of actors at the bottom are so cruel. College students who have just stepped out of school will not realize the cruelty. Liu Wenju and others believed that since they auditioned, they would definitely be selected.
When the time comes to embark on the career of acting and become famous, he will then deal with villains like Huang Xu.
Three young students, three passionate ambitions. (To be continued...)
