Chapter 39 Car crash!
"Hey, I'm sorry to bother you, Brother Wang."
"It's okay! It's okay! I watched you act in the drama back home. You should be very good at acting. When the time comes to audition, as long as you perform well, the role that I can respect will be 100% yours. "
"But please don't lose your temper. After all, I recommended you, so don't embarrass me!"
"Ah... ok, ok, brother Wang, don't worry, I will work hard." Shen Yi felt a little uncomfortable listening to the other party's overwhelming tone, but he still nodded politely and assured.
This brother Wang is a producer he met on "The Temptation of Going Home", and he is also from the north.
Therefore, in the southern part of Hunan Province, with Shen Yi and Lei Jiayin, three northerners, the topics are closer to each other, regardless of eating, so naturally they get along well.
The script we are talking about now was the one who originally invited Shen Yi to act in it. However, at the time, Shen Yi was not impressed by the quality of the script, so he used to drag the script before and never responded.
But there is no other way. The current drama market in Long Country is like this. Idol dramas, rural dramas, and spy dramas are divided into three parts.
Although Shen Yi gained some fame with "The Story of the Cooking Class", he was barely known in the film and television industry. During this period, many film crews also sent Shen Yi a lot of scripts.
However, what all the crew and directors are interested in is actually the popularity of Cooking Class and Shen Yi's handsome face that is suitable for appearing in idol dramas.
Therefore, the contents of the scripts are similar, including love idol dramas, spy idol dramas, wealthy love and sadomasochism idol dramas, etc...
The short man Liba General. Compared with the too many bad and unreliable scripts sent to him by the crew during this period, Wang Ge's film is already considered a "bad movie" in terms of quality because it is backed by a large company. Relatively good.
Although from a theoretical point of view, let alone actors, even the public knows the harm of bad dramas to an actor's reputation. How can actors not know it? But so what... After all, actors still have to eat. .
From ancient times to the present, Jet Li's godson Xie Miao, Jin Ming who plays Wanjun, You Haoran in "Family with Children" have become popular in Hong Kong and Mainland China, Ding Dong who also performed a sketch with Guo Donglin in the Spring Festival Gala, etc...
Who is not hundreds of times more popular than Shen Yi at his peak? The result is that after studying for several years, no one wants him even for supporting roles, not to mention the leading role.
Sail against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. The entertainment industry, or the game of capital, is all based on popularity, popularity, and is known for its cruelty.
At this time, if he doesn't rely on his popularity and is still looking for movies, it may not take half a year, a small wave will kill him in the deepest water, and he will never be able to get ahead again.
So Shen Yi, who had no choice but to think about it this time, made a phone call and agreed.
But what Shen Yi didn't expect was that Brother Wang originally invited him to act. Logically speaking, this means that the director has recognized the actor's acting skills. As long as the actor agrees, he should directly sign the contract.
It was originally a relationship of equal and mutual choice, why did it seem like I was begging for it... and then... audition???
"Forget it, in such a hierarchical place like the entertainment industry, a relatively energetic producer, even if it sounds ugly, is surrounded by flowers and countless licking dogs."
"Just like a person who is used to being a leader, he always speaks in an official tone no matter where he goes. He is surrounded by wild flowers every day, licks dogs, and the bossy tone may not even be felt by him..."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Yi comforted himself. Anyway, after chatting for about ten minutes and talking about the script for about ten minutes, at least the role given to him by Brother Wang remained the same as before.
The cast of an idol drama has been approved and will start filming at the end of the year. The characters are also very good. Unlike Hong Shixian, he is 100% the male lead and a positive character.
Well, I will sign the contract after passing the audition...
After hanging up the phone, the audition script sent to him by Brother Wang came to his computer.
Drama title: The Flowers of the Rich Gentleman Come to an End.
Although Shen Yi was mentally prepared after seeing the title of the play, he still couldn't help but frown slightly, and there was once again a hint of helplessness and embarrassment in his expression.
Suppressing all the negative emotions and disgust in his heart, Shen Yi sighed and forced himself to continue reading the script.
However, the next moment, director Shang Jing's phone rang, and in just a few words, Shen Yi regretted it and wanted to slap himself.
"What the hell? Mr. Yingda's sitcom! "Underground Traffic Station"? You also appointed me to be the protagonist? But Director Shang, I have already agreed to the audition on the other side!"
The name Yingda may be a little unfamiliar to the public, but his works are very well-known. The first domestic sitcom "I Love My Family" with the best reputation was directed by him. In addition, he He is also the ex-husband of sketch queen Song Dan.
Even director Shang Jing, who was already successful in his previous life, dare not claim to be the number one sitcom director in China in front of him.
"Good guy, he really got it right..."
Listening to Shen Yi's voice that was clearly on the verge of tears, director Shang Jing also glanced helplessly at Yingda beside him, but continued:
"It's okay Shen Yi, didn't you just agree to the audition? Why don't you just find a reason to push it forward? Director Ying here has already identified you. I don't need to say more about how much dignity you have, right?"
Shen Yi was a little confused: "This...Brother Shang, I have already agreed. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to do this?"
Although what the other party did was not particularly authentic, and Shen Yi really wanted to take the role, it is not good to regret it after just agreeing to audition.
"You see, if this were not the case, I would definitely not be able to recommend this audition. Please tell Director Ying that you are sorry and thank him for his appreciation of me and for inviting me to act specifically.
"Let him find the leading role elsewhere first. If he passes the audition for this drama, I won't say anything. If he doesn't pass, the British director has not found a suitable protagonist yet. I won't pay a penny to act in this drama for free. You can watch it for free." Is it done?"
"Okay, then it seems that things have to be like this. In that case, I hope the director of that drama will look down on you." Director Shang Jing also said a little helplessly.
"Well, actually, it should all be decided. It may just be a matter of going through the process. There are many outstanding actors in the country. Don't let the British director delay the casting because of me. Otherwise, I will be too embarrassed." Shen Yi also said with a bitter smile.
"Well, that's okay. You're busy over there. If you have any news, please contact me anytime." Shang Jing sighed and hung up the phone.
"Have you heard everything? What do you think?"
"Well, what else can I say? This kid is rare in the film and television industry. In our Kyoto dialect, he is a very particular person. If I want to replace him with another actor, I have not signed the contract yet. If there is a better place, I will regret it. Do you believe it?" The director on the side said
Yingda smiled helplessly.
Director Shang Jing also nodded in agreement and said: "It's because the industry is full of white-eyed wolves who try to steal others, so I feel more at ease when using actors like this."
"If he goes back on his word because of you today, do you dare to say that he won't let you go for a better opportunity the day after tomorrow?"
"Well, that's true. Then you say...should I wait any longer?"
Because this chapter expresses a lot of things, it is a plot foreshadowing, so it was a little slow to write and revise several times. Sorry, everyone.
Chapter completed!
