[Accidental Mark · Chapter 25]
Cheng Xia was the last actor to participate in the audition today. After he went out, the staff of the trial lens field began to pack things. The whole day of audition made everyone physically and mentally exhausted. Pei Shaoze actively proposed: "You have worked hard, I will treat you tonight. Let's have a meal together."
Zhang Fan had already booked a nearby restaurant, Pei Shaoze called all the film crew chiefs over, closed the door and had a chat while eating.
Qin Nian asked Cheng Xia to play the role. Everyone has no opinion. After all, Cheng Xia's performance is indeed remarkable. The author, director Pei and director all like him very much. As for other roles, Pei Shaoze asked: "Lu Fengyang, the protagonist, who do you think is more appropriate?" He looked at the author Lemongrass: "Does Teacher Lemongrass have a favorite actor?"
Lemongrass recalled it carefully, then smiled and shook his head: "To be honest, there are a lot of Alphas who came to audition in the morning. They look more handsome than the other, but I am not particularly impressed."
The same is true for Liu Xueyi. He took out his notebook and took a look, and said with a bitter expression: "I have scored every actor. The Alpha in the morning scene is even more messy than the afternoon scene. Lu Fengyang's personality is a bit nasty. Annoyed, as a result, most people acted Lu Fengyang as a third-rate bastard!"
Pei Shaoze thought to himself, Cheng Xia must have no problem playing the leading role, but who will play with him? If the role of Lu Fengyang is not well chosen, it will be embarrassing for the two to perform with insufficient cooperation. Pei Shaoze didn't particularly like Alpha in the morning session. The only people who impressed him the most during the audition yesterday were Ye Mingqian and Cheng Xia in the afternoon session.
Ye Mingqian's acting skills are really good, but his appearance, the cool and handsome Alpha, is too unconventional. Pei Shaoze thought for a moment, and then suddenly said: "If it doesn't work, look for someone from the outside. I have watched a lot of school dramas recently, Director Liu, you made the starring Alpha in the drama "Classmates Next Door" that you filmed the year before, what do you think? ?"
Liu Xueyi was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Mr. Pei to watch the small paste drama he shot two years ago. He recalled it and asked tentatively: "Pei always said, Shen Kai?" Seeing Pei Shaoze nod his head, Liu Xueyi frowned immediately: "When Shen Kai was filming with me, he was still a little transparent. Not bad, but this person is more Buddhist and hasn't had much work for more than a year."
Obviously, everyone did not expect that President Pei would actually pay attention to this kind of 18-line transparency. In fact, the reason why Pei Shaoze watched so many school dramas like looking for a needle in a haystack was to find a suitable person to play with Cheng Xia.
Pei Shaoze said: "Shen Kai has worked with you. If you cooperate again, you will be more tacit. Cheng Xia is a newcomer. If the protagonist who plays with Cheng Xia the most and finds an inexperienced newcomer, the filming is often NG, it is likely to delay the crew schedule."
Liu Xueyi quickly understood: "What Mr. Pei meant is that Lu Fengyang's role is to choose an Alpha actor who has worked with me, and let him take Cheng Xia. The crew will run more smoothly?"
Pei Shaoze nodded: "What do you think of Director Liu?"
Liu Xueyi thought about it carefully and felt that this method was feasible.
In a drama, the two protagonists with the most scenes are newcomers with no cooperating experience, which is too risky. One of them has worked with the director and has a certain tacit understanding, and the other is a newcomer, so that Director Liu will start filming the drama more smoothly. Shen Kai is now a small transparent, not expensive, and has a good acting skills. It is really the most appropriate to think carefully.
Liu Xueyi simply made a decision: "No problem, I will contact Shen Kai when I look back. This guy has just been idle recently. There is a drama filming. For him, it is probably a pie in the sky."
Pei Shaoze said "um", and then said: "How does Ye Mingqian arrange? How about letting him play the Omega school grass? Although it is a supporting role, the role of the male second is also important."
Lemongrass remembered Ye Mingqian's beauty, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Pei always refers to Xu Fei in "Folding Paper"? He has a gentle personality and likes to smile. He is the dream lover of many Alpha in school. He liked Qin Nian at first, but I confessed to Qin Nian, and later learned that Qin Nian was an Omega, the two became best friends?"
Pei Shaoze said: "That's right, let Ye Mingqian play this role, and the effect of playing against Cheng Xia should be good."
Liu Xueyi became more excited as he listened: "Two Omegas, one beautiful and the other handsome, and the beautiful Omega confessed to the handsome Omega. This shot is absolutely amazing! I think Alpha can stand aside, Cheng Xia and Ye Mingqian stand together. The scene is too eye-catching. When this drama is filmed, there may be someone standing on Cheng Xia and Ye Mingqian's CP, haha." He excitedly wrote a note on the notebook, and suddenly he paused with his finger, "However, Ye Mingqian is very popular. , Will he be willing to play a male partner?"
Pei Shaoze: "I personally talk to his agent."
With Mr. Pei's words, Liu Xueyi immediately felt relieved.
Pei Shaoze in front of him gave people a particularly reliable feeling. He said he would let Chen Yijun write the theme song, and Liu Xueyi believed it without doubt. He said he wanted to talk to Ye Mingqian's agent, and Liu Xueyi felt that - this matter must be stable.
Liu Xueyi asked smoothly, "A few other supporting actors, what do Pei always think?"
Pei Shaoze said: "Zhang Xiaoheng, who is with Qin Nian's childhood sweetheart, is the play's funny role. You can let Qi Xiaofei, the child star of Tianxuan, try it. He has a baby face, and the funny play should be competent. The role of sister Qin Yue, Liu What do you think of Xue Ling?"
Liu Xueyi nodded immediately: "I also like Xue Ling, a girl with a cool temperament, which fits her sister's personality very well."
Lu Fengyang's best friend, Pei Shaoze said: "Among the Alpha auditions this morning, one named Zhou Jiawen performed well. He has made a lot of web dramas and has rich experience. At least he will not lose the chain."
Pei Shaoze's words happened to Liu Dao's heart. Liu Xueyi couldn't help feeling: "Mr. Pei, have you really never been a producer before? I think you have the level of a professional director when you look at people."
Pei Shaoze said calmly: "These are my personal thoughts, I only give advice, and the specifics are still up to Director Liu."
Liu Xueyi slapped his thigh and said simply: "President Pei is quick to do things, I am not inked anymore. Let's make arrangements for the six important roles. I will contact Shen Kai when I get back and make publicity announcements after he is dealt with."
Pei Shaoze nodded and looked at Lemongrass with a friendly attitude: "Teacher, are you willing to participate in the adaptation of the script? After all, Qin Nian and Lu Fengyang are characters created by you personally. If you can participate in the check, we will be very welcome. "
Lemongrass grabbed his fingers under the table and said softly, "But I have no experience as a screenwriter."
Xu Moran said sincerely: "It's okay, with me, we can work together!"
Pei Shaoze promised: "Your name will be added to the screenwriter's signature, and experienced teacher Xu will help in the details. You can control the overall plot trend and try not to let the plot go as far as possible. How about it, think about it?"
Lemongrass immediately agreed: "Okay!" She smiled and looked at Pei Shaoze, her eyes full of sincerity: "President Pei, to be honest, when Tianxuan asked me to come over for the audition, I didn't expect you to treat this. The attitude of the play will be so serious. Seeing Cheng Xia's performance today, I think he is like the Qin Nian who came out of the book. I am willing to participate in the adaptation personally. I hope everyone can work together to make this play well. Thank you Pei Always give me this opportunity."
Pei Shaoze stretched out his hand graciously: "You are polite, I should say, thank you for creating such a lovely character in Qin Nian, and for giving Cheng Xia the opportunity to perform him in person."
An important protagonist and supporting role are set for a meal, and every actor fits perfectly with the character's image. Pei Shaoze's vision, efficiency and decisiveness as a producer made everyone secretly surprised.
The next day, Liu Xueyi contacted Shen Kai, who had worked with him, and Shen Kai, who was hit by a pie in the sky, sent a row of embracing expressions excitedly: "Director Liu, you remember me, I am so **** moved!"
Liu Xueyi thought silently, I almost forgot about you, you should thank Mr. Pei for his insight.
On Ye Mingqian's side, the agent initially didn't want him to play the second male role, but Pei Shaoze calmly said that the second male role of the idol drama is finished, and the fans will not be less than the male lead. Besides, the character set is very good. There are also many rival scenes with the protagonist. Two good-looking Omegas stand together, and they definitely have enough topicality.
In addition, his salary for the male second is not low, the agent thought about it carefully and agreed.
February 10th was the Spring Festival, Pei Shaoze rushed to the Spring Festival and asked the six protagonists to return to Tianxuan to sign the contract. Set it up in advance to avoid any changes after the holiday.
Zhou Yan was so happy that she wanted to go downstairs to run laps-all the four artists she brought were chosen!
Cheng Xia chose the protagonist Qin Nian, Qi Xiaofei played Qin Nian's Fa Xiao, Xue Ling played Qin Nian's sister, and Zhou Jiawen played Lu Fengyang's Fa Xiao, these are very important supporting roles in the play.
You know, many newcomers in the entertainment industry started out as maids, servants, bodyguards, passers-by, and they didn't even have a line. They can play important supporting roles. There are a lot of lines and opponent dramas, and their names will be played at the end of the film!
This is a piece of experience, and acting skills and experience have to be accumulated slowly.
Several newcomers were very happy, and the three congratulated Cheng Xia one after another, and signed the contract with the agent.
Cheng Xia saw Ye Mingqian in President Pei's office.
Ye Mingqian wore a nice white coat, Cheng Xia smiled at him, and Ye Mingqian returned a gentle smile.
The agent Ye Ping was a little unhappy. After all, the protagonist was taken away by this newcomer named Cheng Xia. She couldn't understand why Ye Mingqian was much better than this newcomer regardless of his fame and acting skills? Why did you choose Cheng Xia in the end?
Ye Mingqian didn't mind the role being robbed, and he extended his hand generously: "Cheng Xia, happy cooperation."
Cheng Xia also shook hands with him and smiled: "Take care."
Ye Mingqian turned and left, and Zhou Yan took the four newcomers into the house to sign the contract. The salary of the newcomers is not high, starting at 100,000, it is not comparable to the first-line stars with tens of millions of dollars, but it is already a huge sum of money for these college students.
The newcomers happily signed, Pei Shaoze urged: "The Spring Festival will be in two days. You can go home for a year, adjust your status, and choose a day after the Spring Festival to start your computer. The agent will notify you of the specific time."
The four of them thanked Mr. Pei one after another.
After signing the contract, Zhou Yan took them to go out, and Pei Shaoze suddenly said, "Cheng Xia, you stay."
