Entertaining Children

Chapter 895 We Are Here for an Audition

After the casting studio issued a supplementary statement, not every actor on the audition list chose to continue to participate in the audition like Yu Shaoting, so the list of audition personnel has changed.

The list of audition personnel has changed, and the audition time naturally needs to be rescheduled. Due to the fact that the actor's agency or agent replies at different times, and the producer hopes (mainly at the request of director Chen Jun) to arrange the auditions of actors of the same role together as much as possible for comparison and judgment, so this Rescheduling auditions can also take time. Still, that doesn't mean the audition start time has to be delayed further.

In this TV series, some supporting roles are older characters, and the actors considered for these roles are some middle-aged actors in their forties and fifties in the circle. Most of the middle-aged actors who are used to playing supporting roles in this age group are some experienced but low-traffic actors in the circle, and they are basically not affected by the supplementary explanation. There is no change in this part of the audition actors.

Apart from filming, these actors don't have many other work activities, and their schedules are relatively free. When adjusting the audition list of actors and rescheduling the audition time, the casting studio will advance the audition time of these older middle-aged actors, and let the producers audition for these actors first.

For the audition of these actors, Xiao Yao and director Chen Jun's attitude is definitely very polite and respectful. The audition of these actors is not focused on their audition, but on the communication between the two of them and these senior actors. The two chatted with these senior actors about the script and their understanding of the roles they would play in the play. For these actors, there are generally not many problems in acting skills, and it depends more on their understanding of the role and whether the two are in harmony.

Of course, even for senior actors with excellent acting skills and veteran actors, this part of the audition is not completely omitted. It's just that what the two mainly look at in this part is not whether the audition actor is capable of playing the role well, but whether their image, state, and feeling when performing the role are consistent with what they think in their minds.

It is relatively rare for an actor to be directly decided upon during an audition. Under normal circumstances, the producer and the director make a decision after all the actors competing for the same role have auditioned. Regarding the choice of actors for this drama, Xiao Yao said that the final decision is in the hands of director Chen Jun. Since Chen Jun did not approve any actor for a role in the audition two days ago, he did not confirm any actor on the spot.

The audition time is basically arranged during the day, from ninety o'clock in the morning to four or five in the afternoon. At night, it was Xiao Yao and Chen Jun who watched the audition video recorded during the day to discuss and decide the role. After the actors are determined, the casting studio and the administrative department of the crew will be notified of the results, and the relevant personnel of the company will negotiate with the actors and their brokerage companies to sign contracts, and at the same time inform those actors or their brokerage companies that have not been adopted.

The TV series is expected to only have about thirty episodes. Compared with those big productions that often have 40, 50 or even 60 or 70 episodes, the volume of this TV series is not large, so the number of characters in the play is relatively not particularly large.

After almost three days, Xiao Yao and Chen Jun completed the auditions for all the actors of the older roles in the play and confirmed the actors for those roles.

Three days later, the casting studio also rescheduled the auditions for those young actors. So after all the auditions for middle-aged actors were over, Xiao Yao and Chen Jun had no time to rest, and immediately began to audition for young actors.

For current actors, it is nothing new to audition for two or more roles in a film and television production at the same time. There are even actors who originally went to audition for a certain role, but the producer thinks that they are more suitable for another role. , There are also things that won another role. But in this project, there are not many cases of applying for two or more roles at the same time.

When an actor volunteers to apply for two or more roles during an audition, generally the weight of the roles applied for is about the same.

Among the younger characters in this play, there are three relatively heavy roles, two women and one man. One is Anna, the colleague of the girl Sheng Xia, the older sister of the boy Lin Dongyang, Lin Dongyue, the classmate and best friend of the girl Sheng Xia, and the younger brother of the girl Sheng Xia, and Sheng Wen, the classmate and best friend of the boy Lin Dongyang.

It goes without saying that men and women are different in gender. This is not a costume drama, and there is no possibility of cross-dressing. Although the two female characters are relatively young, one is about the same age as the female lead, the other is about the same age as the male lead, one is in his thirties, and the other is in his twenties, there is still a certain gap.

Although it is normal for an actress in her thirties to play a role in her twenties, the image and overall temperament of the two characters are quite different.

Although Lin Dongyue is a store manager, but because she and her younger brother depend on each other all the year round, some parents feel that the image is more simple, and the temperament is more homely, while Anna is a young white-collar worker, with a more fashionable and exquisite image, and her temperament is more like a workplace elite. . Due to the relatively large image and gap between the characters, the actors who auditioned for these two roles did not overlap.

However, even if there is no overlap between actors applying for audition roles, there are still many actors competing for these roles.

The supplementary statement issued by the casting studio has achieved certain results. After that supplement was sent out, it was true that some actors and their agencies decided to drop out of auditions for the project. However, the number of actors who decided to withdraw from the audition on their own was not as many as Xiao Yao thought.

The reason, on the one hand, is that there are some actors and companies who have the same idea as Yu Shaoting. On the other hand, it was because those companies did not respond to the casting studio at the same time.

After the casting studio issued supplementary instructions, Xiao Yao and Chen Jun directly started auditioning for middle-aged actors. To put it bluntly, audition is also a kind of interview, just like corporate recruitment, it is actually a process of selection between two parties. It's not just that the crew is picking actors, the actors are actually picking the crew too.

Before the audition, the casting studio only said that it would not choose a male and a female lead, but did not announce who the actors of the male lead and a female lead were. Rui or Lin Qisan's. In the communication process of actor audition, many people will naturally ask this point. When an actor wants to join a filming group, he will naturally want to know who the partner actor who will cooperate with him in the future is. At this point, Xiao Yao did not keep it secret.

Therefore, after the audition began, the news that the male, female and female actors of this TV series were Xiao Yao and Yin also spread in the industry. It is still different for many companies to guess that the male lead is Xiao Yao and to confirm that the male lead is Xiao Yao. After the news came out, not only some agencies and actors who originally planned to withdraw from the audition changed their minds, but even some agencies and actors who hadn't planned to participate in this project also moved their minds.

The initial stage of the role selection has passed, and those companies and actors who have newly applied for audition roles can refuse with confidence, but the companies and actors who were originally on the list of audition actors cannot refuse. When the casting studio issued a supplementary statement, they did not explicitly reject any of the actors on the list to participate in the audition. They just hoped that they would consider those conditions and withdraw on their own. After a while, I decided to continue to audition.

Due to the large number of actors participating in the audition, the schedule of this audition is relatively intensive, so in the casting studio, many actors who participated in the audition on the same day ran into each other while waiting for the audition.

Although the casting studio wants to try to arrange the audition time of the audition actors of the same role together, but due to the schedule of the actors, it is impossible to do this completely. Relatively speaking, young star actors now have more work than middle-aged actors, and it is more difficult to do this.

On the fourth day of the audition, I started to audition for young roles, and the auditions arranged on this day were not all actors who were fighting for the same role.

Because Yu Shaoting was very firm in his attitude, the company did not discuss for a long time before agreeing to Yu Shaoting's continued audition. Relatively speaking, Yu Shaoting's company responded earlier, and the audition time was also arranged earlier. Not only on the first day of auditioning for a young role, but also in the morning.

Auditions start at nine o'clock in the morning. Yu Shaoting was not the first actor to audition. The casting studio notified him that the audition time was around ten o'clock. However, because Yu Shaoting attached great importance to this role and this audition, the company did not arrange any work schedule for him this morning, and he arrived at the casting studio before nine o'clock in the morning.

The audition time didn't come yet, and when Yu Shaoting arrived, he was naturally arranged by the staff of the casting studio to go to other places to rest and wait.

The casting studio is not a performance organization, and it is impossible to prepare many separate lounges for star actors, so the waiting place for Yu Shaoting is a public lounge. This lounge is not the lounge of the performance organization, only sofas, no dressing room and changing room, and the space is very large.

Originally, Yu Shaoting and his manager Zhang Wenqing thought that they had arrived very early, but they didn't expect that when they entered the lounge, they found that there were already other people in it.

"Mr. Zhao, Mr. Lin, hello!" After seeing the two people sitting and resting on the sofa, Zhang Wenqing immediately pulled Yu Shaoting forward and greeted them with a smile.

The two people sitting on the sofa are Zhao Rui and Lin Qisan. Although these two are younger than Yu Shaoting, in terms of coffee status, neither of them became popular last year, and Yu Shaoting, who has not yet shaken off the title of traffic star, can be compared.

"Hello!" Zhao Rui and Lin Qisan, who were sitting on the sofa, stood up and shook hands with Zhang Wenqing with a smile.

"I'm Zhang Wenqing from Yier Media, and I'm a manager." Zhang Wenqing pointed to Yu Shaoting beside him and introduced, "This is Yu Shaoting, an artist from our company. We're here for an audition today!"

"Hello! I'm Yu Shaoting!" Yu Shaoting also extended his hand to the two.

"Hello! I've admired you for a long time!" Neither Zhao Rui nor Lin Qisan had worked with Yu Shaoting before. This was the first time they met, and they both smiled politely and shook hands with Yu Shaoting.

"Where," Zhang Wenqing said with a smile, "we have admired you for a long time! Shaoting is about the same age as you, maybe a little older than you, but you debuted earlier, so you can be regarded as Shaoting's seniors. In terms of acting, he still has to learn from you!"

"You can just tell Shitou that," Lin Qisan said with a smile, "he has been acting since he was a child, and he has indeed debuted for many years. I am different, not to mention that I debuted late, and I don't have many masterpieces. It's not as good as Yu What about sir!"

"You're joking." Zhang Wenqing said with a smile, "You graduated from the acting department of Shenxi Opera, you are classmates with Xiao Yao, and your father is an actor. Even if you don't perform many film and television works, your acting skills are better than Shaoting's. Less."

"Thank you for the compliment!" Lin Qisan laughed.

Although Lin Qisan's current film and television works are basically supporting roles, and he has never played important roles such as male lead and male lead, so he is not considered a representative work, but that is just Lin Qisan's picky vision, he does not want to take on the role casually, and he does not want to rely on his own family. The relationship with brothers is just to compete with others or with my own brothers for roles. In terms of acting skills, even if it is not as good as Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui and Xu Fei, Lin Qisan thinks he is not bad, at least not worse than this traffic star who has transformed into an actor after debuting on a singing talent show.

"By the way, I remembered that the main investor and producer of the project we came to audition for today is a young film and television company. Young people is a company established by you and Xiao Yao, and you two are also the bosses. "Zhang Wenqing asked, "You two bosses are here today, are you also going to audition?"

"Yes, we are here to audition!" Zhao Rui nodded.

"Then why are you here?" Zhang Wenqing asked a little strangely, "Our Shaoting audition time is at ten o'clock, but I heard that the audition starts at nine o'clock, and now the audition is about to start, shouldn't you two examiners Are you waiting in the audition room for today's first actor to audition?"

"You misunderstood," Zhao Rui said with a smile, "although both of us are shareholders of young people, we are not the producers or producers of this TV drama project. The two of us came to audition today, not as producers Go to audition actors, participate in the selection of role actors, but participate in auditions as audition actors, to fight for roles, and be chosen by producers and directors!"

"Ah?" Zhang Wenqing said in surprise, "Are you two here to audition for roles?"
