Chapter 101 Auditions
The audition started at nine o'clock in the morning, but because Mo Qingyun had to prepare with the crew, she arrived at the audition conference center at seven o'clock.
Gu Peimin originally didn't want Mo Qingyun to come so early, but he couldn't resist Mo Qingyun's inner rivalry and wanted to prove her ability.
From Mo Qingyun's point of view, since he already knew what the other party's purpose was, the best way to slap him in the face was to do what he did within the scope of his duties so that he could not make mistakes.
"If you encounter something that cannot be resolved, you must come to me." Gu Peimin finally hugged Mo Qingyun, and said earnestly, "Anyway, you signed the contract first, and the other party is really going to get angry and withdraw the capital, so I will make it up for you. "
Mo Qingyun nodded: "You don't have to worry too much. Since it is an investment and a business, it must be to make money. As long as I prove that only I can best control this role, then no matter how upset he is, he can only endure it." on."
In the end, no one will be against money. Luo Chen's movie is neither an exchange of favors, nor a hot chicken movie for laundering money. Investors still want to make money in the end.
The audition place is on the second floor of the conference center, which is connected to the hotel, and you can take a short cut from Gu Peimin's private passage.
Although there are still two hours before the official start, some actors have already waited at the gate of the waiting area in advance, but because there is no staff to open the door of the waiting area, they can only wait outside.
"Hey, why are you going there?"
Mo Qingyun was walking there according to the room number Luo Chen gave her, when she heard someone calling her.
The one who spoke was a boy about his own age, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed plain glasses, with a hint of sarcasm and contempt in his eyes.
"What are you looking at me for? Mo Qingyun, I'm talking about you." Seeing Mo Qingyun looking back at him, the boy stretched out his hand to stroke his hair, "I haven't seen you for a few years, so you don't know me anymore? Fly away? The old classmates are not going to recognize it?"
Mo Qingyun looked at the person who was talking to her, and after thinking for a long time, she finally managed to remember who the other person was in the depths of her memory.
Mo Qingyun had indeed gone through all the memories that the original owner gave him, but after so long, some people he had never met had almost been forgotten.
This one in front of me is in such a situation.Because this so-called "old classmate" has been gone for too long.
Frankly speaking, they are not very familiar with each other. The last time they met was after the original owner graduated from high school. Chen Lu, as the grandson of his neighbor's second uncle, went to his school entrance banquet.
Chen Lu is actually Mo Qingyun's alumnus, but he was a year younger. At that time, Mo Qingyun was introverted. Except for Meng Zhuo and Gu Zhu, he hardly talked to others, so in fact, the two of them hadn't met before. not much.
"Chen Lu." Mo Qingyun said, "What do you want?"
"Hehe." Chen Lu took a few more steps in front of Mo Qingyun, "It's nothing, I just want to remind you, don't try to find an opportunity to go through the back door, since you are here for an audition, then obediently wait outside."
"Always think about going through the back door, and be careful to let others go through the back door." Chen Lu looked Mo Qingyun up and down, and the more he looked, the more glaring he felt.
Obviously, they were all on the same starting line, but now Mo Qingyun has become a second-tier star to hit the first line, but he is still struggling on the eighteenth line.
He also watched the audition that Mo Qingyun participated in when he debuted, and he was clearly worthless, but he was able to get the debut position in the end, and he didn't know what shady tricks were being played behind it.
Chen Lu thought he was no worse than Mo Qingyun, and participated in the second season of the draft. He didn't expect that he didn't even make it to the top 32, so he was rejected. How could he be convinced?
Chen Lu wouldn't have dared to provoke Mo Qingyun if it had been delayed before, but this time he came here because of some connections, and there was someone behind him.
Seeing that he had caught Mo Qingyun's weakness, of course he had to taunt and taunt him.
"If you're really that worried and you're free, you might as well clean the toilet next to you." After Mo Qingyun finished speaking, she felt that what he said was wrong, and added, "Forget it, at your level, After washing, it may even cause the cleaning to be complained."
Where did this Chen Lu come to "kindly remind" him, what he said was clearly to add to his embarrassment.For this kind of person, Mo Qingyun would naturally not be polite.
"Am I wrong? It is said that there are specialties in the art industry. If you don't believe me, you can try it. It is definitely not as clean as the cleaning lady here. But if you really want to do this job, I can help you contact a pre-job training .”
Chen Lu was so annoyed by Mo Qingyun's words that he was speechless. He didn't want to see that Mo Qingyun had a better life than him, and now that he was humiliated by the other party, his face turned red.
Obviously when she was studying in the past, Mo Qingyun was a dull person, she didn't like to talk or socialize with others, how could she become such a sharp-tongued and annoying person now!
"Also." Mo Qingyun pulled out a work permit from her pocket, "The crew's work pass, have you seen it?"
After finishing speaking, Mo Qingyun ignored Chen Lu's reaction, turned around and left.
Time is so tight in the morning, and there are so many things waiting for him this day, Mo Qingyun is too lazy to waste time on insignificant people.
When Mo Qingyun arrived, Luo Chen was instructing the staff to set up the venue. It was Luo Chen's long-standing habit to do everything personally, and if he didn't do many things just once, he would always feel uneasy.
"Qingyun, you're here." Luo Chen saw Mo Qingyun standing at the door at a glance, "Here are all the fragments of today's audition. It has been slightly revised from the previous script. Please work harder to prepare."
When it comes to script modification, Luo Chen is a little embarrassed: "The screenwriter suddenly wanted to post it last night. We met in the middle of the night and changed it overnight. It was too late, so I didn't have time to tell you. But because of this version I modified a few key points, so I still decided to use this for the audition today.”
Afraid that Mo Qingyun would misunderstand, Luo Chen explained a few more words, in case Mo Qingyun thought it was the employer's impromptu attack.
Anyway, from Luo Chen's point of view, he most hoped that there would be no conflicts between the employer and Mo Qingyun so that they could coexist peacefully.A good working atmosphere and working mentality are also the key to the success of a work.
"The investor will come today, but it's not the one I told you who wants to help people get to the top." Luo Chen said.
Mo Qingyun was confused by his words: "What, what do you mean?"
"It's a good thing, but it's not entirely a good thing." Luo Chen looked a little embarrassed, "This time the main investors are a pair of brothers. The one who wants to help is the boss, Yuan Wan, and the second brother, Yuan Tu, who will come over later."
"Although Yuan Tu has not been investing in film and television for a long time, his vision is very vicious and critical. He has a greater voice in their company than his brother. Compared with his brother, Yuan Tu is actually not optimistic about the group of Xiaoxianrou. "
"But I believe that you can use your own strength to change his view of you." Luo Chen patted Mo Qingyun on the shoulder.
Although Yuan Tu has a stereotype of the small fresh meat group, it is better than Yuan Wanhao who only wants to spend money to win his little lover.If it weren't for Yuan Tu's biggest right to speak in this investment, Luo Chen really didn't know what to do.
"Okay, then I just used the morning time to read the script." Mo Qingyun quickly understood what Luo Chen meant. Before, he had only heard Luo Chen tell him that the investor had a favorite actor, but he didn't expect that there would be an actor in it. There are so many twists and turns.
But these are not what Mo Qingyun cares about the most. The most important thing for him right now is to study hard on this newly acquired script.
Originally, he insisted on coming early because he wanted to come early to help Luo Chen.Unexpectedly, it was time to do it. It just so happened that the clips to be used today were revised. Of course, it would be better to use the time before the audition to read the script in advance.
Mo Qingyun took the document from Luo Chen and went to the side to read it. It seemed like a lot of work, but it didn't take much time to read it quickly.
The content of the script has changed from what he read before going to bed last night, but it's not that big, and some of the changes even coincide with Mo Qingyun's understanding of the character.
After carefully reading the new script in her hand, Mo Qingyun was more confident about the upcoming audition than before.
According to Luo Chen's arrangement, Mo Qingyun sat on the far left side of the first row, which not only made it easier for Mo Qingyun to act in the show, but also allowed him to have a good perspective to observe the actors who came to audition.
The first ones who came to the audition were all the female number two in the movie. This character didn't have many scenes with Mo Qingyun, and most of the auditions had nothing to do with him. There were more than a dozen in a row, and only two were drawn to be with him. It's related to the plot, but Mo Qingyun's role in it is not important, it mainly serves as the background board.
For the rest of the time, Mo Qingyun sat and watched, each one carefully filling out the scoring sheet in her hand according to the situation.
Although things like "peer review" are a bit easy to attract people's tongue, especially for an actor like Mo Qingyun who doesn't have deep foreign experience.But now that the crew has entrusted him with this job, he must fully exercise his power and be responsible for every score he gives.
"I'm going to test the male number two soon." Luo Chen took advantage of the break in the middle and said to Mo Qingyun, "The investors behind will be here soon, and you'll be busy soon."
Because Mo Qingyun had signed the contract first, the investor's favorite could only participate in the audition as the male second. Luo Chen had already told him about this before, and Mo Qingyun was mentally prepared for this.
"I will behave well." Mo Qingyun smiled, "We must not let others think that Director Luo has a bad eye."
Luo Chen nodded, just as he was about to say something, he saw a man in a royal blue formal suit walking in with a few people.
The man walking in the front had no expression on his face, but subconsciously frowned when his eyes caught Mo Qingyun.
"President Yuan, you are here, this is Mo Qingyun." Luo Chen took the initiative to greet him, shook hands with the man who came over politely, then turned to look at Mo Qingyun again, "Qingyun, this is Yuanda Mr. Yuan Tuyuan of investment."
Mo Qingyun took two steps forward, standing three steps away from Yuan Tu: "Hello, Mr. Yuan."
Although Yuan Tu had some preconceived prejudices against Mo Qingyun, he nodded symbolically and followed Luo Chen to sit in the center of the first row.
Long before meeting this investor, Mo Qingyun was prepared to be scorned, so Yuan Tu's attitude towards him was within his acceptable range.
As Yuan Tu took his seat, the actor audition for the male number two officially started.
Coincidentally, the first person to audition for the second male lead was Chen Lu who met outside the door early in the morning.
The reason why Chen Lu came early at seven o'clock was not to give the program crew a hard-working and punctual attitude, but to come earlier to have a chance encounter with the big boss of the movie.
The funder who recommended him has already told him that he may have the opportunity to turn from the second male lead to the leading male lead in this audition, because this movie was invested and shot by his financial sponsor. I greeted the program team, but the final result still depends on whether Chen Lu will come to work and behave himself.
Because of this, when Chen Lu walked into the audition room, he was even more proud and self-satisfied than when he stopped Mo Qingyun outside.
