The audition scenes were selected by Director Sun himself, so they were not difficult.
On the one hand, I wanted to give Fourth Young Master Hua some face, but on the other hand, it was just a formality.
The crew has been preparing for the show so far, and he has already personally decided on the roles that really matter.
The rest are just a few indispensable supporting characters. It is not necessary to use them to give Fourth Young Master Hua some face.
Of course, the second female lead in the play has not yet been decided.
It's not that it's unimportant, on the contrary, this character is a tragic villain-like figure.
It is extremely malleable and has high demands on actors.
Director Sun was delighted to see Hunting, but he never met a suitable actor, so he delayed the project.
The time is approaching noon.
Once Meng Jiao's audition is over, we can call it a day this morning.
The result was unexpected. The audition lasted nearly three minutes, but Director Sun was moved.
He hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "Show me her information!"
Xiao Ming quickly handed it over.
Director Sun looked at it, and a strange look flashed in his eyes. He originally thought that he was another investor's relationship, so he just found a random role and dismissed it.
Unexpectedly, I turned out to be a graduate of Chinese Opera.
The three-minute audition just now was beyond his expectation. His basic skills were solid and his emotions were on point!
Without further questioning, he temporarily conducted an additional test. The plot of the additional test was selected from a very classic movie and was very difficult.
When other members of the directing team saw this, they also became serious.
Meng Jiao's emotions brewed up and she started to perform.
Five minutes later.
There was silence in the room, and Director Sun was immersed in it. It took him a while to come back to his senses.
He looked at Meng Jiao steadily and couldn't stop nodding.
After a while, Director Sun took the lead in applauding, "The performance is delicate, layered, and highly readable."
"To be honest, there are a lot of people auditioning these days, and you have the highest degree of completion."
"On the basis of the original work, a second creation was made."
"The expression, movement, and voice, including the plot and understanding of the characters, are all very good!"
"Miss Meng, you really impress me!"
Meng Jiao was a little flattered and waved her hands hastily, "Director Sun, I really can't afford it."
"I feel ashamed to say that I have lost my major for several years. I just did not do well in some details."
Director Sun didn't mind, but appreciated it even more, "It's a bit awkward in some places, but this is actually your advantage!"
"To be honest, I'm not very interested in actors who have already been cast. It's easy to lead the audience astray."
"On the contrary, it's you who made me see a piece of raw jade with excellent qualifications, worthy of careful carving!"
Meng Jiao clenched her fists tightly, feeling uncontrollably agitated.
It was an indescribable feeling, as if someone had stepped into the dust. At that moment, someone reached out and gave her a hand, and she was saved from the desperate situation!
With tears in her eyes, she said, "Director Sun, thank you, thank you for your appreciation!"
Director Sun waved his hand, "Don't worry, this character is a bit difficult to portray."
"You need to look ugly and shave your head. You should go back and think about it."
Meng Jiao wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "Director Sun, don't think about it, I'll take it."
Director Sun looked at her, "Are you sure?"
Don't blame him for asking such a question. Many actresses, especially girls, love beauty and care about their personal image, so they simply cannot accept shaving their hair.
This is one of the reasons why the role has not been decided yet.
Meng Jiao nodded, "I'm sure!"
"No matter how difficult this role is, I will try my best not to let you down!"
Director Sun stood up, stretched out his hand and said, "Ms. Meng, on behalf of the crew of "The Gods", I would like to formally extend a film contract invitation to you."
"I hope you can play the second female lead in the play!"
Meng Jiao was stunned on the spot. She originally thought that she was just a supporting actress with a heavy role.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the second female lead!
She has heard of Director Sun's name and also knows that Director Sun likes to recruit new people to play important roles.
Meng Jiao just didn't expect that such a good thing would happen to her?
Director Sun smiled and asked, "Why, isn't Miss Meng unwilling?"
Meng Jiao hurriedly extended her hand, "I do. Thank you, Director Sun, for your appreciation and love."
…
The only thing left is to negotiate the salary and sign the contract.
Because Meng Jiao's artist contract has been signed with Titi's studio, these jobs will naturally be handled by the studio.
After titi heard the news, she was so angry that she almost dropped the phone.
News just came from the production team that her audition was canceled.
On the contrary, Meng Jiao actually received the important role of the second female lead in the same crew!
Doesn't this make it clear that she is inferior to Meng Jiao?
Titi was extremely angry, "This Meng Jiao definitely did it on purpose!"
"Which crew didn't look for me? Why did you join the same crew as me?"
"You bitch, I don't know what kind of charming tricks you used, but you actually let him pass the audition!"
"Reply to the crew and tell them we won't accept this role!"
The sissy manager stepped forward and persuaded: "Oh, my titi, you are also the boss after all, why would you be angry with an employee?"
"Besides, what if Meng Jiao gets the role?"
"Have you forgotten her contract with us?"
If titi realized something, "You mean, let her pick it up?"
The agent nodded, "Yes, let her pick it up. In the end, she will be working for us anyway."
"We don't have to contribute money or effort, so what's wrong?"
Titi worriedly said: "But I still don't want to give in. What if she gets angry?"
The agent smiled and said: "It's popular? That's even better!"
"Let her be your supporting actress in your next drama and make you famous!"
Titi wondered, "When the time comes, will she still be so obedient?"
The manager sneered, "How dare you be disobedient? We have all the dirty information about her in our hands. If we let it out at will, her reputation will be ruined!"
"But having said that, in the future, you should ease the relationship with her."
"We still have to work hard to save face. When this movie comes out, she will be our cash cow from now on!"
Titi took a deep breath and said, "Listen to you and let her go!"
…
On the other hand, the contract signing process went smoothly, and the salary was two million.
For ordinary people, it is indeed a large amount of money.
But for a major production with a production cost of up to 1.2 billion, it can only be said to be a drop in the bucket.
Without further ado, the two leading actors in the drama are better than Meng Jiao by just a fraction.
But Meng Jiao is already very content. According to the studio's contract split, she can get about 600,000 yuan, which is enough for her to support herself for a period of time.
Finished the contract.
Meng Jiao called the studio, "Sister Titi, I need some money for an emergency. Can you first..."
Titi interrupted: "Jiaojiao, we are all our sisters. Isn't it too outlandish to say this?"
"I'm also happy that you can win this role."
"You don't know, during the audition this morning, I have been recommending you to Director Sun, saying that there is a newcomer in our studio who has very good acting skills!"
"Otherwise, do you think this audition would go so smoothly?"
"Well, even though your remuneration hasn't arrived yet, you are still a member of your family and there are not so many rules."
"One hundred thousand yuan, I will transfer it to you in a moment!"
Meng Jiao hung up the phone and turned around, her eyes fixed!
