Lin Shuangshuang was waiting downstairs of Xinghai Company a little nervously.
She finally plucked up the courage and decided to try an unprecedented new path, which was a rare breakthrough for a working girl from the countryside.
But a breakthrough is a breakthrough. She just asked for leave today. She couldn't resign before the matter was completed.
After waiting downstairs for less than 20 minutes, the pretty and young receptionist hung up the phone and quickly took her to the elevator.
"Hello, Miss Lin, I have found your appointment. Today, Director Lin's audition is at 507. I will take you up."
Lin Shuangshuang looked at the person's elegant and generous posture. At this moment, she couldn't help but take a deep breath and slowly relax her tense body.
it's nothing.
She comforted herself in her heart.
——The worst thing is that I haven't been recruited. I can still go to work in the afternoon, and I won't think about it in the future.
She had never been exposed to acting before. After having this idea in the past two days, she made a few expressions in the mirror to practice...
Of course, I feel that the effect is average...
After thinking about it, Lin Shuangshuang felt a little depressed.
But soon she took two deep breaths and thought to herself:
——It’s all here.
These four words seemed to give her great courage. Even when she saw several girls standing in front of the audition room, she was no longer so nervous.
The difference between insiders and outsiders is clearly distinguished at this moment.
The three girls who were waiting were all dressed up delicately and attractively. After inquiring, the heroine seemed to have an innocent and weak personality. She was all dressed up in clear soup noodles, looking pitiful, and her makeup was particularly delicate.
However, Lin Shuangshuang made this decision without telling the people in the store. She didn't have the money to buy good cosmetics, so she simply didn't draw anything when she left, and just arrived without makeup.
She sat quietly on the stool and waited for someone to call her. She didn't notice the three actresses in front of her staring at her face again and again.
At this moment, his eyes were gradually becoming more alert.
Women have the sharpest eyes when looking at women, but they are all in the same circle, and they can tell clearly at a glance whether they are wearing makeup or not.
But it’s because of this that people feel shocked——
Where did this star come from? Why are his facial features so outstanding?
Thinking about this TV series, which is currently relatively popular, and the competition is so fierce, everyone's hearts are pounding.
Director Lin is quite famous, and now he is selecting the heroine, and all the funds are in place.
From a professional perspective, this TV series shouldn't be too bad. Therefore, there are not many people who come to audition for the heroine, but all the supporting roles have been auditioned before.
Director Lin, who was sitting in the room, actually knew that this was just a formality.
Xinghai's script, Xinghai's copyright, Xinghai's funds, Xinghai's team... As long as the heroine's acting skills are not too bad, it's basically a done deal.
As for the male lead, it was decided from the beginning that he was Chen Tianhai from the company.
Chen Tianhai is tall, at 1.85 meters. He is actually a little on the taller side, and when he plays with a female star, he will look very short.
But his face is so handsome and eye-catching. The original Bagua Film and Television Company was aware of this and wanted him to make a fortune in any drama.
However, due to wrong methods, his popularity has been lost and his net worth has been declining year after year. Now, at the age of 27, although he is at the peak age of male stars, he can actually accept fewer and fewer leading roles.
He is too active on the screen, and he makes all the good and bad scenes. Directors don't like this kind of male protagonist who is too playful.
But for Ding Wei and Bai Shanshan...
This is not a problem at all!
What does an idol drama need?
As long as Oppa is handsome, that's it! As for the other connotations, they can only be revealed slowly after he becomes handsome!
Chen Tianhai has handsome features, a particularly handsome smile, and an aura of indifference when he is silent. Especially his long legs. Ding Wei, who is used to seeing Korean dramas about Oppa, also feels that the previous company was really a waste of resources, relying on his martial arts skills.
Basically, I always take on some costumed martial arts dramas, either generals or knights, and I can't escape this circle...
It was a waste of time to waste such a face and figure that had been used in idol dramas.
So just by reviewing a few scenes and looking at each other's information, Ding Wei, Bai Shanshan and Li Mingyi unanimously decided that he was the leading actor!
Of course, this was just picked out last night - there are really too many male stars, and it's overwhelming. But since some of them haven't signed contracts, I decided to just focus on them so that they don't go to outsiders, and to avoid the constant concern from outsiders.
Now that several outstanding supporting roles are in place in the script, only Director Lin feels that this heroine is unique and different from ordinary scripts, so he wants to slowly screen it out.
Lin Shuangshuang, a related person, came over today. Although Xinghai Company knew about it and had arranged it, he did not tell Director Lin directly. It was also a way of respecting his face.
After all, no one can predict the acting skills of outsiders.
…
Less than 10 minutes after Lin Shuangshuang sat down, people started to be called in for auditions.
She thought about the unspoken rules she had seen in the movie before, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous at the moment, but then she thought about it, with so many people, it shouldn't be possible!
At worst, I won’t take pictures anymore!
Then I thought, what if I don’t perform well and embarrass Sister Weiwei?
The more I think about it, the paler my face becomes.
By this time, her name had been called.
She stood up nervously and immediately, her movements so violent and impatient that the assistant who called her name was stunned.
However, seeing that the other party was a beautiful woman, the assistant was not angry at all and just pointed to the room:
"go in."
…
Director Lin has already auditioned several people, and Lin Shuangshuang is the last one.
Nowadays, the acting skills of actresses are not as bad as those of later generations. The main thing is temperament. He closed his eyes and thought about it in his mind, and roughly circled a range.
When he opened his eyes again, a pale girl was looking at him timidly.
His eyes were sparkling, like the crystal dew on the jasmine branches, and he sat up straight in an instant.
Lin Shuangshuang was shocked by this action, but she thought she couldn't be so embarrassed, so she took a deep breath and smiled politely at the other party.
Director Lin:......
——Oh, it can’t be done, it can’t be done!
At this moment, he could only decide and shout:
"It's her, it's her, it's her!"
See what the mermaid looks like in this script?
Weak, innocent, innocent.
If it wasn't like this, how could it melt the protagonist's doggy temperament if he was as soft as a child?
So apt!
This looks so pretty!
Director Lin also took a deep breath. At this moment, the assistant directors looked at each other and understood in their hearts.
Seeing that they were silent, Lin Shuangshuang felt even more nervous.
At this moment, the assistant handed over a note:
"You have three minutes to prepare. Please perform this clip."
…
This clip is very simple, it is the scene where Bi Qing is driven to the seaside by the male protagonist Janson.
Lin Shuangshuang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when she saw this——
Isn't this the plot of the newly serialized "Price-Price Engagement: The CEO's Mute Wife"?
Sister Xiaoyu loves to watch it, and she also watched it!
Seeing this, she suddenly gained courage.
——What does it feel like to be driven to the beach?
Just... I thought about it, it was probably the same feeling I had when I resigned from Jianyunlou.
She didn't do anything wrong and she worked seriously, but in the end the other party still inexplicably persuaded her to resign...
Her eyes were slightly red, and the crystal tears immediately gathered, and her pale face further highlighted her purity and innocence. Her hazy tearful eyes were full of disbelief and incomprehensibility.
"Why?"
She only opened her mouth to ask this question and did not make a sound, because in the novel series, Bi Qing could not speak at this time.
"good!"
One of the assistant directors slapped the table at this moment: "It's you!"
…
Lin Shuangshuang was still in a daze until the assistant sent Lin Shuangshuang out and left her with her contact information and contract.
Acting...is it so simple?
The salary was exactly what Ding Wei said at the beginning. The contract stated that it was 150,000 yuan after tax. For a newcomer, this salary is definitely generous.
Lin Shuangshuang sat there and listened to Xinghai's legal affairs officer slowly explain the contract to her, and at the same time, she slowly felt confident in herself.
…
The leader in the audition room, Director Lin coughed dryly:
"Why are you calling me so fast? I still have two clips that I haven't let her try."
The assistant director often collaborated with him. At this moment, he brought his team over and the other party burst out laughing.
"Why do you think so much? As long as the actress is not bad, she is definitely her. Besides, if you look at her face, stand there and don't look at anything, it will just be a painting. You
Don't leave such a fairy daughter alone, and go get other ones... Do you think about the ratings?"
Director Lin smacked his lips:
"It's useless to just consider the ratings. I think the script is good... but for an idol drama, the heroine doesn't need to be good-looking. The most important thing is the male lead..."
The assistant director quickly said: "What you said is old thinking, girls also know beautiful girls! There are many female stars among the celebrity stickers in my daughter's house."
Director Lin simply didn’t want to think about it anymore.
Originally, he was not good at family dramas involving mother-in-law and mother-in-law. If this time it was really that kind of entangled drama, he would be the first to do so.
…
Lin Shuangshuang went back ecstatically.
The crew's start date was scheduled for the end of the year, so she could just go back and resign, and then work until the end of the year.
On the one hand, it can alleviate the shortage of manpower in beauty salons, on the other hand, it can also have a client to hand over and get wages...
Great, great!
At the same time, her future partner Chen Tianhai was also surprised when he looked at the script handed over by his new agent:
"Are you sure it's me?"
The male protagonist of an idol drama.
In the past three years, he has not received a role in a modern drama like this.
They are all legendary magical martial arts battles and the like...
The new agent is very optimistic about the few male stars he has, especially since the company is currently signing contracts with external stars, but the funds are more abundant and the team is very formal. He has these 4 stars under him
, all have experience and good conditions, but now they are very ambitious.
Hearing this, the manager smiled and said: "Isn't this what it should be? You are only 27 this year, which is your golden age. This kind of drama is the easiest to increase your popularity."
The new agent was naturally poached from other places. He is only in his 30s this year and is completely different from the previous agent who was a master of all things.
As soon as the news about the company's first drama came out, he immediately started working on the script.
But it's all a waste of time.
"Be more confident. The boss directly asked you to be the leading actor this time. I didn't even need to arrange an audition for you without reading the script."
Chen Tianhai was also flattered: "Me? How could it be me?"
"Why can't it be you? This is our first big drama. It is said that the investment is more than 5 million. Which idol drama have you seen that can reach this level? Take this time to think about it carefully and don't let it slip.
"
…
As soon as the agent left, Huo Lian knocked on the door and came in.
"Brother, have you become the leading actor in an idol drama?"
Chen Tianhai couldn't restrain his smile: "Well, I didn't even expect that."
"What about you? Do you have any plans?"
Huo Lian frowned:
"Yes, there is. It is said that it is a costume drama with a female protagonist to be prepared after the new year. Yu Huaixue and I are tied for the second male lead."
He frowned melancholy: "We both have to act in the same drama again..."
In recent years, the four brothers have acted in a play together, and the audience has had enough of it.
but……
Huo Lian soon became happy again:
"Brother Li secretly told me that there is a lot of investment in this costume drama, and the service is very well done. The investment before and after is definitely more than 5 million. After the year, all our protagonists and important supporting actors will have to retreat for a month of training!"
"Speaking of the family's demeanor, it must be cultivated."
Huo Lian laughed: "The new company is really rich!"
He hesitated: "Brother, should we retreat in this situation?"
The new contract is completely different from the old one. Not only does the share of the contract increase, but the investment is so large, it obviously has a bright future for actors.
No matter how troubled the entertainment industry is, you can still make money if you can't stand it.
Chen Tianhai also smiled: "Let's wait and see how these two dramas turn out in the next year."
By then, it's almost time to talk about contract renewal.
…
Ding Wei didn't know what happened to Xinghai Company. She was immersed in writing a story at the moment.
I never expected that Xinghai’s screenwriting team only has three people, but the script production efficiency is so high.
It's only been a few days, and the script has already reached the third version after incorporating their opinions.
And this third version is the final version. It not only restores the image of the characters, but also has various interesting points and laughs. Just reading the script makes me feel that the story is very interesting.
In addition, the company cannot only move one project team at a time, so the plot of the Empress is put on the agenda again.
The screenwriting team is gearing up to figure out a new script, and Ding Wei also has to work hard to write the story of the empress before the end of the year.
After the new year, the scriptwriter will make changes, the actors will be training, and the crew will be preparing, and then filming can begin.
Because of this, she who originally planned to write slowly had to speed up her progress, and she temporarily put down the books she was serializing.
But this book involves a lot of ancient knowledge. In order to avoid making mistakes and omissions in front of the screenwriter, Ding Wei could only look up the information while worrying. At this moment, she felt like she was scratching her head.
The beginning of her script previously explained the story background and the appearance of the domineering villain princess, as well as vague clues that the other party had a rebellious heart. Next, it was time for the two male protagonists to appear.
How should the male protagonist appear?
downtown.
A peaceful and harmonious life for the people.
A black horse carries a soldier.
The other side held high the military letter.
He ran with the horse and shouted loudly:
"Great victory in Yanzhou, great victory in Yanzhou!"
"General Ning's great victory!"
But in the bitter cold land on the frontier, the young general, with high spirits and eyes as cold as stars, was walking step by step on his way back to Beijing with the 100,000 troops behind him.
The ambition of a young man is like a rainbow shining through the sun.
…
Imperial Capital, Prime Minister's Mansion.
The noble and dignified prime minister was watering the flowers carelessly with a kettle. The water in the pot dripped and fell on the delicate petals, making the red flowers tilt to the side.
At this time, slender white fingers gently pushed the flower.
Red flowers and white hands are always moving.
An ordinary-looking attendant walked over quickly and silently, and whispered something in his ear.
The young and handsome prime minister curled his lips:
"Finally it's time."
"Someone is coming——"
He called softly: "Look at these flowers and let them prune them well so they don't fall into the soil."
…
Now that the new beginning has been written, the rest becomes much smoother. Combining the information she has checked, Ding Wei fills in the frame step by step. There is no need to be too detailed. She only needs to describe the main scenes one by one. Some important ones.
Just note the details.
She struggled all morning and finally produced a 10,000-word plot.
Although it's not even 1/5 of the entire script, this efficiency is pretty good.
Ding Wei sighed with difficulty:
Sure enough, if she wanted to write an ancient political strategy article seriously, she still had a lot to learn!
Look at the various royal regimes and local political and military affairs that are placed next to them as reference materials...
What she wrote is only superficial, the real core political struggle, the most important plot has not been written yet!
…
She had to retreat two inches from her hairline to devour all this knowledge. On the other side, Chen Siyu was also picking up a few books and writing furiously.
Last night plus one day, their sales reached 16,000 yuan. Nearly half of the wholesale clothes and other items have been sold. It is indeed worthwhile to buy advertising space.
But this also led to the fact that even though they hired people to work overtime at night to pack and ship goods, Chen Siyu also stayed up until the second half of the night, but this not only meant more income, but it could not cover all the papers she had not finished.
Now that she was facing the deadline given by Lao Wang, she could no longer care about anything and frantically started to write the paper.
The only advantage is that, with Lao Wang's help, they have become comfortable writing it. As long as the information is in place, it is not particularly difficult.
…
Bai Shanshan just ran out to call her sister-in-law to explain in detail about the filming of the costume drama that will start in the next year.
After all, my sister-in-law is also one of the financial sponsors, and if she wants to play a princess, she has to make it clear.
There must be no less training. If it doesn't work, then in order to ensure quality, they can only let her be another princess with not many scenes.
Chen Siyu hummed while checking information, and listened to the sound coming from the computer, her heart ached:
"my money……"
Looking at her paper, which was still 500 words away, she could only grit her teeth and close her ears.
If you finish writing it early, it will be over early.
The sound of the computer was quite obvious. Except that Ding Wei couldn't hear it clearly with headphones on, Lu Li next to her could hear it clearly.
These days, they have been staring at the computer in the dormitory until midnight. Lu Li also knows that Chen Siyu now opens an online store to sell clothes, and each piece of clothing costs 100 yuan.
Yesterday they also said that they packed a total of 89 items. Even if they earn 10 yuan per order, it is close to 900 yuan, and it only takes one day...
She looked at Chen Siyu's anxious expression and couldn't help but want to ask:
So what if the paper is delayed? Isn't making money more important than these? After all, she has learned about the process of buying things online in the past two days. Customers are very impatient when asking questions. Sometimes if they don't get a reply within a while, they will
You will lose interest.
This is likely to result in the loss of customers.
Is Chen Siyu a fool?
Isn’t it better to make money than anything else?
Now she has to be stymied by a paper of several thousand words. If it were her...
Thinking of this, Lu Li suddenly bit her lip again——
This is not her.
She is now writing papers, but she does not have such a profitable business.
But this is not surprising. The dormitory was the poorest and worst in the family, so the relationship between her and Ding Wei became worse and worse.
She has seen through that Ding Wei is the real snobbery, and Bai Shanshan has the best conditions, so he and they have the best relationship.
Chen Siyu's conditions are good, and her relationship with Chen Siyu is also good.
only myself……
Lu Li felt extremely uncomfortable when she thought of this, and at the same time she felt an inexplicable sense of pride.
But this pride was suddenly shattered when she saw her bed - because she hadn't thought about where she would live during the winter vacation until now.
Do you really want to swallow your anger and go back to face a family that doesn't welcome you?
