Entertaining Children

After discussing with Chen Jun, Xiao Yao and Chen Jun went to the casting studio, and asked the studio to send supplementary instructions to the agents or agencies of all the actors on the original list of audition actors as required, and then waited for the other party Based on the feedback, the list of audition actors will be re-formulated.

The relevant personnel in charge of the TV drama business at the casting studio were surprised when they heard Xiao Yao's request. After repeatedly confirming that Xiao Yao and the others were determined to do this, and not some new hype method, the studio quickly arranged staff to follow up on this matter.

Yu Shaoting, twenty-six years old, one of the idol stars in the entertainment industry.

Four years ago, he participated in a nationwide music talent show on Shonan Satellite TV, and finally won seventh place. In that music talent show, he gained a lot of popularity. After that show ended, he was also signed by the producer of the show, a well-known entertainment company with the resource advantages of Shonan Radio, Film and Television Group, and made his official debut.

Although Yu Shaoting made his debut on a music talent show, after signing with the company, he did not develop very well in music. Under the arrangement of the company, he quickly turned to the direction of actor development. Although he didn't come from a major in acting, and his acting skills are basically not that good, but with his excellent appearance, the popularity accumulated in talent shows, and the company's resource advantages, he has developed quite well as an actor.

In the past four years, Yu Shaoting has participated in more than double digits in TV dramas and movies. He started as a guest star as an idol singer, and later gradually played a supporting role with weight. The year before last, he even starred in a costume drama as the male lead. Although the costume drama he starred in was an online drama, after it was broadcast on the Internet last year, the topic was not small, and the popularity was quite good. He also became one of the male stars who rose extremely fast in the second half of last year.

With the increase in popularity, there will naturally be an increase in his status and importance in the company, as well as an increase in exposure and workload.

He became popular through acting, so the focus of his future work will naturally be on acting. However, after his fame soared in the second half of the year, the brokerage company was also extra careful and cautious about the film and television projects he wanted to participate in, which can be called careful selection. In the second half of last year, he basically just participated in some variety shows when his popularity was hot, and took advantage of the opportunity to accept a lot of commercial endorsements, but he didn't receive any suitable ones for acting jobs.

It was not until after the Lunar New Year that the company told him that there was a new film and television project. However, the company can't help him win this project directly. In addition to the company's efforts, he also needs to try his best to fight for it.

The role that the company wants him to fight for is the younger brother of the first female lead, who is nominally the second male lead, but there are not many scenes. With his current popularity and status, he wouldn't take a second look at such a character just by reading the script, but after seeing the information from the producer of this TV series, he agreed to the company's arrangement.

First of all, the producer of this TV series is Young People Film and Television Company. In the second half and the end of last year, a TV series and a movie produced by this company achieved very good results. More importantly, the main actors of these two projects are all newcomers. From the perspective of subject matter and style, these two projects can almost be said to be tailor-made for these new actors. After the release and broadcast of these two projects, all the new actors became popular. Young people film and television companies have also gained a good reputation for using and creating new actors.

Yu Shaoting's acting skills are not that good, the popularity of that web drama has some accidental elements, and his popularity also has some accidental elements. Such an opportunity is rare for him. Even though he has appeared in many works, there is only one work as the male lead, and there is only one role that can be remembered, so in the eyes of most people, he can still be regarded as a rookie actor when he is young. And the project of a film and television company that is good at using and creating new actors is definitely attractive to him.

Secondly,

Young People Film and Television Company is the company of Xiao Yao and others. Judging from the analysis of my own agency, the show did not look for a male lead when it was looking for an actor, probably because Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui, and Lin Qisanzhong would play the male lead. In addition, another co-producer of this project is Yinxi Studio. The relationship between Xiao Yao and Yin Xi is very deep, and they have a joint fashion brand, so it is very likely that Xiao Yao will play the leading role in this drama.

Although he has already acted as the male lead and has become popular, Yu Shaoting also knows that he cannot compare with Xiao Yao, who is two years younger than him, in terms of fame, coffee position, background connections, and qualifications. Since his debut, Xiao Yao's evildoer, who has attracted huge topicality and countless praises in almost every show and work, has long been a top existence among young stars. Let alone him, there are almost no peers in the circle Can be compared with him. As a match for Xiao Yao, he will definitely not lose Yu Shaoting's price.

But having said that, even if the male lead is not Xiao Yao, he is supporting Zhao Rui or Lin Qisan, which is psychologically acceptable. After all, those two and Xiao Yao are Fa Xiaoer and one of the shareholders of the company. Their family background is also not weak, and their acting experience is also very rich. It is normal for him not to be able to compete.

In the end, it's an urban fashion drama. Although Yu Shaoting became famous by acting in online dramas in ancient costumes, as a young star whose appearance and figure are the biggest advantages, fashion resources are very important. Yin Xi's studio is the co-producer of this TV series, so this urban fashion drama must not be bad in terms of clothing. Participating in the performance of this drama will definitely be very beneficial for him to win fashion resources in the future.

Taking all these factors into consideration, Yu Shaoting was only interested in a role that didn't have too many roles in a TV series with a low budget and a small number of episodes. Since he had to audition, it was very rare for him not only to read the entire script on the day he received it, but also to read it for a while after work every day.

But what he didn't expect was that before he went to the audition, his agent brought him bad news.

On this day, Yu Shaoting's job was to shoot a print advertisement. Since all the communication work has been done in the early stage, his agent did not come with him, but only sent a publicity agent and two assistants to accompany him. At the end of the commercial shooting, while taking off his makeup in the break room, his agent suddenly found him.

"Sister Zhang, why are you here? Didn't you get called to a meeting by the company and say you won't be coming today?" Yu Shaoting asked strangely when he saw his manager Zhang Wenqing push the door in from the vanity mirror.

"I have something to discuss with you!" Zhang Wenqing said to Yu Shaoting.

"What's the matter?" Yu Shaoting said with a smile, "I can't talk on the phone, but you need to go there in person?"

"Makeup teacher, how long will it take you here?" Zhang Wenqing didn't answer, but asked the makeup artist who was removing Yu Shaoting's makeup.

The studio print advertisement shooting this time requires very professional makeup. This makeup artist was a professional makeup artist hired by the advertiser, not Yu Shaoting's personal makeup artist, so Zhang Wenqing was very polite to that makeup artist.

"It's almost over." The makeup artist smiled, picked up a bottle, and said wittily, "As long as Mr. Yu doesn't mind going out without makeup, I don't need to add a daily light makeup for him. I can take this makeup remover by myself. Just wipe it off with water and I can leave now."

"Thank you for your hard work, we can do it ourselves!" Zhang Wenqing said to the makeup artist.

"You're welcome!" The makeup artist said politely, packed up her makeup tools and left.

"What's the matter? So solemn?" Yu Shaoting asked Zhang Wenqing suspiciously after the makeup artist left.

"Youth Company's "Pretty Sister" project has some changes. The company is considering whether to cancel the audition for you." Zhang Wenqing said.

"Why?" Yu Shaoting said immediately, "The company has found another project for me? I have spent a lot of time preparing for this role. If it is not an S-level project evaluated by the company, I don't want to change!"

"It's not that the company found other projects for you. It's the casting studio. No, to be precise, there is new news from the producer. The company doesn't think there is any need for you to audition!" Zhang Wenqing said.

"New news?" Yu Shaoting asked, "The role I'm going to audition for has already been decided? Didn't they say that except for a man and a woman, all other roles have to be auditioned? Who snatched this role? Xiao Yao's father Someone from Mom’s studio? No, his studio doesn’t have any actors suitable for that character’s age and appearance. Could it be themselves? Zhao Rui or Lin Qisan who want to play that role? Or Xu Liang and Qin Hao’s two Xiao Yao’s classmates? Or Xu Fei?"

"Neither!" Zhang Wenqing shook his head and said, "Aside from male, female, and female, I don't know if any other roles have been pre-selected, but at least on the surface, all other roles still have to audition."

"Since there is an audition, why does the company think that there is no need for me to go?" Yu Shaoting said, "I haven't even tried, how do you know that I will definitely not be able to get the role?"

"Because the casting studio sent a supplementary explanation!" Zhang Wenqing said.

"Supplementary explanation?" Yu Shaoting looked at Zhang Wenqing in confusion and asked, "What do you mean?"

"The supplementary statement is a supplementary explanation of their requirements for actors in this TV drama project." Zhang Wenqing said, "They didn't directly say that they excluded you from the list of audition actors, but the company feels that it is true to follow the supplementary statement. If the request comes, you have little hope of winning this role, and the company doesn't really want you to take this role."

"What request?" Yu Shaoting asked.

"First, you are not allowed to intervene during filming!" Zhang Wenqing said.

"Of course I'm fine, it depends on the company's arrangement!" Yu Shaoting said, "Could it be that the company has other projects and wants me to take on two or more films at the same time in the next few months?"

"That's not it!" Zhang Wenqing said, "The company doesn't have any other film and television projects for you yet, so it's unlikely that the show will be overwhelmed. But you still have a lot of business activities in the next few months, and you have to Participating in a variety show. Everyone knows the reason why the crew does not allow actors to cut scenes. Although these tasks are not considered cutscenes, they will also affect the filming. So the company communicated with the producer, and the reply was that it was because of commercial activities You can't ask for leave more than three times a month, and each time can't exceed two days! Business activities are fine, but you can't participate in variety shows."

"Then push the variety show away!" Yu Shaoting said, "The company won't want me to give up this project because of this, right? I participate in variety shows as flying guests, and I'm not a resident, so the importance can't match this What a play!"

"It's not just for this reason!" Zhang Wenqing said, "The second point of supplementary explanation is that they will not hire voice actors in the post-production of this drama. Sometimes the actors themselves must make up the recording."

"No need for a voice actor?" Yu Shaoting asked in surprise.

"Yes!" Zhang Wenqing nodded and said, "You have acted in quite a few dramas, but how many roles have you not used professional voice actors to dub for you? Especially the web drama that made you popular, although some fans It is said that the voice actor delayed you, but tell the truth, if there is no voice actor to help you dub later, if you use your original voice, can that character have that effect?"

"Shao Ting, you have to pay attention to your lines when filming!" Zhang Wenqing continued, "Don't think that you don't say one, two, three, four, five, six, seven when you are filming. You are an actor if you lip-synch with you. Sometimes, you don’t even meet the basic requirements of an actor. Your biggest advantage is firstly your popularity, followed by your appearance. In terms of the basic skills of an actor, you still have a long way to go. If the other party chooses actors based on this point during the audition, the company thinks that your chances of winning the role are very slim."

"But will they really select actors strictly according to this point?" Yu Shaoting said, "The movie is a little better, but this is a TV series, or an urban fashion drama. Is there any TV series of this type that don't use voice actors for post production? ? It’s not a special way of publicity and hype that they came up with, right?”

"This kind of thing, whether it's a publicity hype or not, these demands cannot be false." Zhang Wenqing said, "You think, since it is a hype, then this matter must be reported by the media. Once the media reports it, people will naturally pay attention to it." Focus on this point. What is the original voice of the actor and what is the voice of the character? Someone will definitely compare it, this thing cannot be faked!"

"Then if they do this, many popular actors will be excluded by them." Yu Shaoting said, "The popularity and popularity of actors in film and television works are also very important. Their request can be regarded as a kind of face-slapping behavior. Aren’t they afraid of offending people, and don’t care about the popularity of the cast?”

"People don't really seem to care!" Zhang Wenqing said, "There is a third point in the supplementary explanation, except for dangerous actions involving the safety of the actors themselves or some professional stunts, no matter whether it is a literary drama or an ordinary action scene, there is no need to do it." Stand-in actors. The crew will not hire stand-in actors, and actors are not allowed to bring their own stand-ins."

"So awesome? You are not allowed to bring your own stuntman?" Yu Shaoting was surprised.

"That's right!" Zhang Wenqing nodded, "Although you are considered a traffic star at the moment, you don't use a stand-in too much in filming, and there aren't many action scenes in this film, so this point doesn't have much impact on you. "Zhang Wenqing continued, "But if you think about it, there are a few big traffic stars who don't use doubles, and some of the rehearsals and positions for continuous filming are done by double actors. If they list this item, they will There are quite a few celebrities who have offended the traffic."

"But it was stated in the supplementary instructions sent by others that these requirements will be clearly written in the contract, and there is no room for negotiation!" Zhang Wenqing continued, "What they mean is obvious. If you can do it, come Audition, if you can't do it, don't waste everyone's time! You said they would care about offending people you said, and the popularity of the cast?"
