Like Ang Lee's "Lust, Caution", there should be very few interviews where the actress is asked to demonstrate her obedience at the beginning. Well, at least the two times Sun Tao personally participated as the interviewer were quite ordinary.
The casting process started from the moment the actors walked in through the door. Their appearance, manners, and demeanor were immediately apparent, and then they chatted and asked her to briefly introduce her life experience... In fact, it was all on the resume, and it was theirs who looked at it. Conversation; the last four interviewers casually asked them about their understanding of the script and the roles they expected to play, etc.
It's fun to be an interviewer, especially when the interviewers are all handsome men and beautiful women.
The above mentioned procedures are all routine, just like the prescribed actions in a diving competition; it’s only fun when the interview is about to end, and the interviewer will ask.
Today, Yang Xinmin came to ask, "Do you have anything else to say about this classmate?" As soon as he finished asking, the contestants who came to the interview would show off their chosen moves.
There were those who sang, recited, performed impromptu, danced, and of course two girls showed off their bodies. (They changed their clothes on the spot without avoiding people. Of course, they all had underwear inside. After changing into loose clothes, they could do all kinds of flips, backflips, handstands, etc.)
At this time, Yang Xinmin, Wang Hai, and Li Hong had all secretly looked at Sun Tao, and found that Sun Tao had also looked at him. He was not embarrassed to hide or anything, but it was not a very erotic feeling, just a very ordinary and ordinary appreciation.
In fact, it goes without saying that after rebirth, Li Xiaojun, Du Juan, and Tian Rui are all dancers. They have not only seen these postures but also practiced them;
In the previous life, when Sun Tao was living in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, there were live broadcasts of girls selling clothes on the streets of Hangzhou. They were changing clothes on the street. They were wearing white underwear and black bras, just on the street, at the corner of Southern Song Dynasty Royal Street... Just watch it live. , there is no filter or beauty. The female anchors are indeed very beautiful and generous. They are not secretive at all and can be seen clearly.
……
The interview lasted for almost a day and ended at four o'clock in the afternoon. Because there were self-selected questions, it was difficult to control the time. Two actors who came for the interview also asked to change the costumes of the characters in the play.
Director Li ordered takeout at noon. Although Meituan and Ele.me were not available, ordering food over the phone was nothing new.
Kung Pao Chicken, Mapo Tofu, Twice-cooked Pork... In order to take care of Sun Tao, he also ordered a serving of three delicacies... In form, he was quite respectful to Sun Tao, but no one listened to what Sun Tao said.
It is said that the four judges all vote to decide the candidate. Li Hong, the director, counts two votes, but when the other three and Li Hong have different wills, Director Li regrets it.
Wang Hai and Yang Xinmin could only laugh. Naturally, Sun Tao would not be the first person. The director should have the right to make the decision, but it would have been better if she had made it clear earlier.
The male lead, Director Li, was assigned to her company's contracted artist Huang Jue. The script also added a younger sister to Zhuang Rui, Zhuang Yan, and was also directly assigned to Rongxin's contracted artist Yang Mi. These two people just showed up to chat with everyone.
Yang Mi is Sun Tao's favorite female artist. She gave Sun Tao a lot of thumbs up for the photos of her stockings endorsed by the Bali family, but she is only 16 now. Although she is still slim and slim, she wore a white silk skirt when she came. It was very exciting, but Sun Tao's performance Not bad, very restrained, not greasy, at least that's what he thought.
His eyes stayed on Yang Mi for more than ten seconds, and he scanned all the other actresses.
This detail was noticed by Li Hong. She also went through the resumes of the actresses interviewed to check their ages. The youngest among them was 22 years old and Sun Tao was only 20.
Li Hong buttoned up her resume and smiled: It turns out that he likes people younger than him.
……
In fact, the result was known at that time, but it was not announced immediately. Sun Tao didn't quite understand why it was not announced immediately, but the other three people did not explain it to him. It seemed that these things were common sense and they believed that he must know it.
——
At 4:30 in the afternoon, Sun Tao declined Li Hong's dinner invitation, although Director Li said that both Huang Jue and Yang Mi would go.
What Sun Tao was talking about was that Huayi Brothers were anxious to advance the script writing work of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". Several other screenwriters were still having a meeting to discuss it. He rushed over... This is of course nonsense, and Li Hong may also know that he is nonsense, but If you can make up a reason, you are giving face. Who can force others to eat without wanting to learn from him?
When Sun Tao left, Li Hong, Wang Hai, and Yang Xinmin took him to the elevator, which was considered a grand ceremony. The two of them wanted to have dinner with Director Li in the evening and did not leave.
In the lobby of Huamao Center, Sun Tao was wondering whether to take a taxi or take the bus when he went back. Someone called him from behind, "Sun Tao, I just came down. I have been waiting for you all day."
Sun Tao knew it was Zhu Yawen when he heard the voice. When he turned around, he saw Zhu Yawen, Jiang Yiyan, and the little girl who had just performed a one-word horse performance for him. It seemed that she was Deng Jiajia from the Chinese drama. She had not yet taken off the tight pants under her dress.
Sun Tao laughed and said: "Lao Zhu, didn't you finish the interview in the morning? Why, did Rongxin provide you with lunch?" "Hi, Senior Sister Jiang, are you here too?"
Deng Jiajia is not from Beijing Film Academy. She met Sun Tao for the first time today and she had just performed a talent show for him. She blushed slightly and said, "Ms. Sun..."
Sun Tao chuckled, "Sun Tao, just call me by my name outside. When school starts, I will go to Beijing Film Academy to study. There is no need to mention screenwriters or anything."
Jiang Yiyan naturally didn't know that Sun Tao was going to school. She asked doubtfully: "Is it this semester?"
There are things that can and cannot be said, and if he has to announce them everywhere like the young man with a 298 score of 985 on the center arrow, he will deceive people!
Sun Tao is fine. At worst, he may stop studying, but Vice President Wang Jinsong, who works for him, is in trouble! (Sitting on wax means being involved. If you drop the wax oil on the table first and then stick the wax on it, it will definitely leave an indelible stain.)
Sun Tao smiled and said, "If you don't have a student status, you can take classes with everyone. If you can keep up, I will take the art exam next year..."
Zhu Yawen said carelessly: "It doesn't matter if you don't have a student status. You don't need the diploma to find a job to evaluate your professional title."
Jiang Yiyan, "If you don't have a student status, then, how can you do that? Canteen meal card, various access control..."
Zhu Yawen said, "Hey, ignore her. Women only think too much. When you get to school, I will take care of your food and accommodation. Hey, tell me what the outcome is today. If there is no chance here, I have to find another one quickly." .”
Sun Tao didn't show off, and simply said: "Director Li prefers you to play Peng Fei, who is the veteran in the novel and the bodyguard of Zhuang Rui, the protagonist of a fighting master. Let's count him as the second male and the third male. In fact, the roles are almost the same."
"Hey! Is there no role for the male protagonist?"
"Don't even think about the male lead. Director Li will leave it to his company's contracted actors."
"Fuck, I knew this would happen, thank you." Sun Tao shook his head helplessly, "Why are you thanking me? We are all puppets. All the characters were decided by Director Li himself, and the plot was also greatly changed by me. , this is just a purely entertaining drama for me, but Director Li insisted on giving me some educational significance... Sigh..."
Sun Tao felt a little aggrieved, but after thinking about it, he couldn't bear to elaborate. He knew that no one could sympathize with you, and if you talked too much, they would think you were verbose.
It's really frustrating. Yang Xinmin said that Zhuang Rui in "Golden Eyes" would lose his educational significance if he always relied on special powers. He suggested adding some side effects to Zhuang Rui's powers, and then let Zhuang Rui think about the true meaning of the existence of Golden Eyes. Meaning, and finally lost his special function and relied solely on his own treasure appraisal knowledge to identify treasures and grew into a real treasure appraisal expert...
Anyway, it is how positive energy comes. It reminds Sun Tao of the movie "Thunderbolt Beibei" he watched when he was a child. The protagonist must become an ordinary person in the end, and he must rely on hard work and hard study to change his destiny...
In the end, the protagonists of foreign adventure movies either become extremely rich or end up with beauties. The protagonists of Chinese adventure movies end up with nothing but endless sighs and memories, which is very unique.
Sun Tao did not argue with reason. It was obvious that Yang Xinmin was Li Hong's puppet and Wang Hai had already agreed to such changes. After the copyright was sold, Sun Tao was powerless against Hu Gai.
Sun Tao knew that a large number of viewers would like to watch this change. Going through such a formality was to make himself look good and turn the table over and stop playing. Sun Tao didn't have such ability, at least not now, so he could only endure it.
……
Jiang Yiyan and Deng Jiajia both saw Sun Tao's loneliness.
Jiang Yiyan, "There is no way, just let us be young. We need qualifications but no qualifications, and we need funds but no funds, so we can only endure it."
Deng Jiajia was more direct, "I am a slave to you and I am a fish to you. What can I do?"
From her tone, it seems that she already has some understanding of the dark side of the entertainment industry.
The two of them had a tacit understanding not to ask about their own situation. Fortunately, both of them were within Li Hong's sight, otherwise Sun Tao would not have known how to tell them.
Sun Tao smoothed his hair and smiled slightly, "Hahaha, you don't have to comfort me. When I grow up, I will be like Daozu..."
This seemed to be some kind of response to Deng Jiajia. The speaker had no intention of speaking, but the listener had intentions. Deng Jiajia glanced at Sun Tao lightly.
Sun Tao, "Oh, by the way, I think Director Li has circled both of you. Jiang Yan, you seem to be the female policewoman Miao Feifei. Originally I wrote the second female lead, but now it looks more and more like the first female lead. ”
Jiang Yiyan was so excited that she spun around twice and hugged Zhu Yawen, Deng Jiajia, and Sun Tao one by one, "Hahaha, hahaha, that's great...Hey, what about Jiajia?"
"Oh, female nurse, let's count her as the third female nurse."
Deng Jiajia pursed her lips and smiled. Everyone in the real industry knows that the entertainment industry is a pyramid with resources concentrated at the top. They, low-level artists with no qualifications and no one to take care of them, can get a special invitation with a few lines. It’s rare.
Deng Jiajia said softly: "Thank you, I will treat you to dinner another day."
Sun Tao waved his hand, "Hey, I already said it was Director Li Hong's words. It didn't work at all. Why are you thanking me?"
"Pa" Zhu Yawen slapped Sun Tao on the shoulder, "You are stupid. A beautiful woman invites you to dinner and you refuse. Listen to my brother and accept it quickly and leave your contact information."
Deng Jiajia didn't show any pretense at this time, "It's better to meet by chance than to invite us. There's no other day. How about the four of us find a place now?"
Sun Tao thought of something and patted his head, "By the way, I have something to ask you. I also participated in the casting of a movie last time..."
Jiang Yiyan said with a smile: "Well, I went to watch "Charlotte Troubles" after I met you."
Sun Tao nodded, pretending to be serious and said: "Thank you for supporting my movie."
Zhu Yawen, "Okay, don't thank me. What we watched is a pirated version and will not contribute anything to your box office."
"Hahaha, it doesn't matter. We originally thought it would be good if we could get back our original investment of 7 million, but we have already made a lot of money with 27 million. Let's get down to business, the casting of our movie was finalized on the spot, why didn't Director Li and the others say anything today? Ah, to be honest, I’m not familiar with them either. It seems like everyone is like this, so I don’t have the nerve to ask.”
"Oh~~~" Zhu Yawen sighed, "What's the situation like when you filmed "Charlotte"? You couldn't find investment and no serious director was willing to take over, right? What's the situation like now with "The Golden Eyes"? Director Li, the most successful female director, has made one hit and one hit, "Ci of the Ming Dynasty" and "April in the World", and has been supported by Yanjing TV Station.
Director Li is waiting for a price. If there is a big name or someone with particularly strong connections who wants to come in... Actually, we are substitutes, haha. ”
Sun Tao was stunned, "That's it, it's just that we haven't decided yet, so shall we still have dinner?"
"Eat, no one will rob me of my supporting role anyway." Deng Jiajia became more open-minded at this time.
"Hehehe" Jiang Yiyan chuckled, "It's okay. Just knowing that the director chose us proves that we are okay. Okay, Sun Tao, we ourselves don't worry about why you are frowning. Jiajia, I want to eat hot pot."< br>
Sun Tao thought about it and realized that he had indeed not eaten hot pot for a long time. Alas, boiling mutton, tripe, and beef louvers, dong dong dong, the hungry demon possessed him, and he had to start cooking immediately. (End of chapter)
