Chapter 389 Buying a Character

It has always been the director's right to select actors. If the producers and investors want to force one or two people in, there is no problem. They can just arrange a supporting role. However, on the set of "Unfortunately", director Ye Ming is also the producer, so a call like this from Huang Xu feels a bit like bullying.

Ye Ming said unceremoniously: "The actors recommended by Producer Huang naturally said that they can give it a try. We happen to have a few supporting actors in the crew who want to show their faces to the society. You can just ask them to come to the crew to audition tomorrow afternoon. If appropriate, I will It will be taken care of."

It would be inappropriate to refuse directly, but if you accept these people, then if Huang Xu goes too far, director Ye Ming will no longer have to do it.

Therefore, at this time, Ye Ming also unceremoniously asked Huang Xi's people to participate in the audition.

The meaning is of course very obvious. One is that your people will also audition. If your acting skills are good, I will use them. The trash can go back to where it belongs.

Huang Xu was a little annoyed now: "Director Ye, what I mean is that you arrange it directly, and you have to arrange the appropriate roles. Don't you understand what I mean?"

What does a suitable role mean? This naturally means that it is very obvious and must be an important supporting role. If it is not important, then how can it appear that Huang Xu is the producer in such a situation?

Huang Xu also expected that Ye Ming would never give him this face. After all, he was the producer sent by the film studio. As long as he didn't sign by then, the movie would not be over. In the future, Ye Ming would ask for more things from him. Therefore, at this time, Huang Xu actually did not expect Ye Ming to refuse so simply.

At this time, Ye Ming repeated: "My meaning is very clear. If you pass the audition, you will stay. If you don't succeed, you can do whatever you want. Producer Huang, your film studio has already recommended someone, don't challenge me." Be patient.”

After saying that, Ye Ming hung up the phone unceremoniously, without giving Huang Xu, the producer, any face. Huang Xu was so angry that he smashed his purple clay teacup into pieces. This Ye Ming didn't know how to praise him at all. Since he said that you are in the first grade of junior high school, then I will be in the fifteenth grade to let you know that I, Huang Xu, sharp. But when he saw the broken purple clay teacup on the ground, Huang Xi felt a little distressed. This was serious Yixing purple clay, an old item from the reign of Guangxu. It had been with him for seven or eight years, like an old friend. , I didn’t expect that it would be smashed to pieces by myself today. It was all caused by that damn Ye Ming.

But at this time, Huang Xu calmed down and calmed down the mood that was vaguely showing off the camera. He still had to do what needed to be done. He had received everyone's money, so he had to pick up the phone and dial a number: "Liu Wenju, it's me. , I've already done what you asked me to do. Just take your classmates to the [People on the Road] audition tomorrow. By the way, let Nie Jingjing come to my discount tonight. I have some things to pay attention to. You have to give her instructions."

At this time, there was a young and handsome boy on the other end of the phone. He looked like a college graduate with little social experience. When he heard that he was going to audition, he suddenly became a little unhappy: "Producer Huang, we But it was agreed that for one thousand yuan, you guarantee that we can have a supporting role in "The Man on the Road", and we are the swindlers who sent the money to you. Now you are saying that we pressured the auditions, doesn't that mean you still have to do it? Is it possible that we will be kicked off?”

If you want to play a role in a movie, it must be related. If it is not related, then you have to spend money. For example, the opportunity for Ye Ming to audition for "Huan Zhuge Ge" can be said to be bought with money. .

Therefore, in a situation like this, each role can be said to have a clearly marked price. How much does it cost to be able to show your face in front of the camera, how much does it cost to have lines, how much does it cost to be a big, special, or small special, or even a special character? How much money different supporting roles cost has a certain price tag.

For example, those who can show their faces on movie cameras usually cost thirty or fifty yuan. After buying the relationship, even if they are extras, they will be taken care of by the camera. There will be certain frontal shots. If there are lines, Sorry, the minimum is 200. If it's a supporting role, the price will be determined based on the importance. But no matter what, one thousand yuan is actually a pretty good price. Ordinary students cannot afford such a price.

But Liu Wenju and the others gritted their teeth and accepted such a price in order to be able to star in "Journey to the End". Huang Xu suddenly became furious. Ye Ming dared not to take me seriously, but you, a young newcomer, dared to be presumptuous with me. It was too bold.

At that moment, Huang Xu was furious and said loudly: "Liu Wenju, you dare this alligator to talk to me. Who are you? One thousand yuan, how much do you think it is? Do you think you can buy a suitable supporting role? I am just He said that he would give you a chance because you are a student.

If you want it, take it; if you don't want it, throw it away. There are more people who are willing to ask for it. "

Ye Ming is the Golden Horse Best Actor. You are the only ones who want to get such an opportunity. Even for this audition, the number of places is limited. "

Hearing Huang Xu's rage, Liu Wenju immediately wilted. He drooped his head like an eggplant beaten by frost and said, "Producer Huang, don't be angry. That's not what I meant. You sir have a lot of..."

Huang Xu said: "If you love me, don't leave me alone." Then he hung up the phone directly. What one thousand yuan bought was just an audition opportunity. This was not good news for Liu Wenju. He told his classmates about this. The young man who bought the role with him was A fat man is Han Fei, who is also Liu Wenju's best friend, and the other young and beautiful beauty is Nie Jingjing.

Han Fei is an impatient person. After hearing Huang Xu's words, he immediately slammed the table and said: "Huang Xu, this old bastard, is too deceitful. What he said was a good thing was just an audition opportunity. , No, I have to go find that bastard and ask him to return the money to us."

Nie Jingjing immediately glared at Han Fei and said, "Fat man, shut up. Things are not as simple as you think. There are rules in the circle. Is it possible to get back the money given out?" Besides, if we go and make a fuss, we won’t have the opportunity to audition. This is the agency fee, can’t you still see it?”

Whether it is an agency fee or a stepping stone, it is always impossible to get back the money given out at a time like this. Although Nie Jingjing just graduated, she has seen too many intrigues. Therefore, Huang Xu is no stranger to things like going back on his word. Huang Xu can give the three of them a chance, which is considered to be more generous in the circle.

If Huang Xu didn't even give them a chance to audition, that would be real misfortune. In fact, I spent money to buy the role, but in the end I didn’t even have a few opportunities to audition.

The only way to do this is to knock out your teeth and swallow it in your stomach. On such a question, Zhou Jingjing's understanding is the most direct and frank.

Han Fei also understood this. After Nie Jingjing's persuasion, his anger began to slowly calm down.

He sat down slowly and said: "Then we are too unlucky. This one thousand yuan is just an opportunity to audition?"

Liu Wenju shook his head helplessly. The cruel reality was that he was helpless with such a problem: "Jingjing, this old fox asked you to go there in the evening and said he wanted to treat you to dinner. I think he probably didn't have any good intentions. , you’d better not go.”

Naturally, Nie Jingjing said that she knew Huang Xu's thoughts. The slightly powerful men on the crew would all have such and such thoughts, but Nie Jingjing believed that the opportunity was not worth wasting on an irresponsible villain like Huang Xu.

After thinking about it, she still said worriedly: "If I don't go, will Producer Huang look for opportunities to retaliate against us in the future? You must know that he is the producer of "The Journey". If someone like this As for holding grudges, we still can't escape the control of Producer Huang on an issue like this, so I'm still a little worried."

Liu Wenju said with some disdain: "These are not big things. Producer Huang made the mistake first. He clearly said that he would arrange some important supporting roles for us, but at this time, he used an audition. You can fool yourself by asking for a quota of places. Don’t go. Once we pass the audition, we will all be Ye Ming’s soldiers. At that time, Producer Huang will have to think carefully if he wants to move us. "

The unspoken rules are not only about money, but also about beauty transactions. In fact, Huang Xu also covets Nie Jingjing, but he is not in a hurry. Nie Jingjing treats him with carelessness and refuses, just because he wants to get benefits. That's all, when Nie Jingjing hits the wall, it will naturally mean that she knows how cruel this circle is.

At that time, Huang Xu thought that Nie Jingjing would still beg him obediently.

The living conditions of actors at the bottom are so cruel. College students who have just stepped out of school will not realize the cruelty inside. Liu Wenju and the others determined that since they went to the audition, they would definitely be selected. When the time comes, they would embark on the road of acting and become famous, and in turn, they would deal with villains like Huang Xu.

Three young students, three passionate ambitions. (To be continued)
