Chapter 209 Sisters
[It's the end of the month, collecting the monthly tickets that are about to expire - one update later. ]
the next morning.
When Xu Kun arrived at the audition site, he didn't mention the audition at all. Instead, he talked about the script of Lost on Journey, with Tian Youliang, whose eyes were red and he looked listless.
Because he planned to take advantage of the popularity of "Meng Hao", he set the story line in the year after Meng Hao and Lin Yuxin's divorce. In order to expand the market, Meng Hao came to the unfamiliar Magic City, but encountered the Spring Festival travel rush when he returned home.
Then he cut out the original story line about the mistress and changed the happy ending to one where Meng Hao returned home to see his parents and brother, and when the family was having a great time, he suddenly received news about Lin Yuxin.
So when Tian Youliang saw the script, he thought it was a movie script derived from "The Domineering CEO Falls in Love with Me".
And even though the script was changed from a domineering CEO drama to a comedy, Meng Hao’s character surprisingly maintained the original tone.
Tian Youliang was amazed by this and praised Xu Kun for his potential to become a screenwriter, except that his writing skills needed to be polished.
In fact, Xu Kun felt that his writing skills were pretty good. He scored 120 points out of 107 on the Chinese language test in junior high school. If his math and English combined had not been less than 60 points, he might have been able to get into high school.
After looking at the general framework, Tian Youliang readily agreed to consult with his friends to supplement and enrich the book.
However, Xu Kun had to draft a copyright contract first to ensure that the script would not be plagiarized by others - although the whole story was based on Meng Hao's fantasy journey during the Spring Festival travel rush, it was not impossible to adapt it to other people.
The two were so engrossed in the discussion that if Chen Xuebin hadn't reminded them, they would have almost forgotten about the audition.
However, this audition was actually just a formality. The second male lead was already in Wen Zhang's pocket, and the third male lead was, as expected, won by Shen Teng - Shen Teng's performance was not the best, but it was not bad either.
By the way, was Shen Teng so handsome when he was young?
When everything was settled, the male actor was decided on the spot. Actress Xu Kun did not let Chen Xuebin contact them, but directly threw the final list to Jiang Yiyan.
Jiang Yiyan naturally would not miss this good opportunity to do a favor. She immediately opened her mobile phone and sent the list to the chat group set up by Huo Siyan.
Then he said with regret: "It's a pity that Meimei gave up halfway, otherwise we would have taken all the girls, first, second and third!"
Xiong Naijin, who was staring at the list and trying to recall who "Liu Shishi" was, felt as if his knee was inexplicably hit by an arrow when he heard these words.
Isn't this equivalent to saying that he is not as good as Yang Mi?
If she were to say that she was not as good as the older sisters who had already made a name for themselves, Xiong Naijin would not be so discouraged.
But what is Yang Mi?
Just a high school student who has never even played the leading female role!
At this moment, another line of words suddenly popped up on the screen.
Yu Fan [Huo Siyan]: Actually, it was right for Meimei to withdraw earlier. This time, the director was looking for the female lead because of Liu Yifei. I heard that Liu Shishi and Liu Yifei are 70% similar, so even if Xiaoxiong performed well in the re-examination, it would be useless.
Xiong Naijin's unhappiness was finally alleviated a little, so he started typing quickly.
Jinn [熊乃瑾]: No wonder the condition of 'new actor' was used to exclude you, Sister Si Yan - if you had made it to the second round of interviews, the director would no longer have the chance to have the final say.
Originally, because Jiang Yiyan took the initiative to release resources, Xiong Naijin liked her more than Huo Siyan, but now it seems that Huo Siyan is indeed a better person.
Besides, since we are all from Huayi, we should stick together in the "sister group" for warmth.
At this time, everyone's speeches popped up on the screen one after another.
Thriving [Jiang Xin]: Hahaha, this girl is truly invincible!
Lei Hao Ah [Hao Lei]: Thriving, thriving~!
Lanlan [Qin Lan]: The first and second female characters are both college students, and I, the third female character, am the only female lawyer. It seems that I am really old, . Yan Nantian [Jiang Yiyan]: Hahaha, don’t be discouraged if you are not selected. We will share resources in the future, and things will definitely get better and better.
Harry Lulu [Li Xiaolu]: sworn brotherhood, sworn brotherhood, sworn brotherhood!
Wei Wei Yi Xiao [Gan Wei]: I will also play a guest role at that time.
Harry Lulu [Li Xiaolu]: Cut off the chicken head, burn yellow paper, and swear a blood alliance!
Yu Fan [Huo Siyan]: Speaking of which, have you noticed that there don’t seem to be as many crews starting work in the second half of this year as in the first half.
Lei Hao Ah [Hao Lei]: Mainly because there are fewer costume dramas, but a lot of melodramas and the like.
Lanlan [Qin Lan]: There are fewer historical dramas and martial arts dramas, but there are more fantasy dramas than before.
Harry Lulu [Li Xiaolu]: We are sworn sisters, living and dying together!
Yu Fan [Huo Siyan]: But overall it is still less than before. I didn’t understand before why Xu Kun was in such a hurry to transform. Now it seems that the costume drama market may be saturated.
Yan Nantian [Jiang Yiyan]: Sister Si Yan, please don’t exaggerate. Most of the dramas that we sisters have participated in are costume dramas!
Yu Fan [Huo Siyan]: I’m talking about the general trend, not that costume dramas are suddenly going to be unpopular - but if there is a chance, everyone should try to move towards modern dramas, or fantasy dramas.
Harry Lulu [Li Xiaolu]: This bow shows our loyalty and courage, and our commitment to always be with you through thick and thin!
Weiwei Yixiao [Gan Wei]: I heard from Brother Kun that that kind of drama should be called a fairy-tale idol drama. In essence, it’s all about young men and women falling in love. The fairy and the hero are just the gorgeous outer cover of this love story.
Lei Hao: Is the drama Kun Er is currently working on also aimed at being an idol drama? Will this affect its reputation?
Harry Lulu [Li Xiaolu]: This bow will remain unchanged regardless of life or death, the heaven, earth, sun and moon strengthen my feelings!
Thriving [Jiang Xin]: But idol dramas are popular, and word of mouth and so on, let’s wait until we become famous first before pursuing them!
When Xiong Naijin saw this, he felt that he had benefited a lot. It turned out that this group, in addition to chatting nonsense and sharing resources, could also help analyze market prospects.
but……
It seems like there are two people who never show up.
Jinn【熊乃瑾】: Where are Yang Suojie and Yang Mi? Why are those with the surname Yang silent?
Weiwei smiled [Ganwei]: Weiwei should be in class, Sister Yang Suo... seems to be busy recently?
The topic was quickly changed.
But in fact, Yang Suo and Yang Mi also saw the above conversation.
Yang Suo was naturally envious when he saw Jiang Xin and Qin Lan won the second and third female roles respectively. However, when he saw everyone's analysis of the future market, he was shocked.
Her current agent has given her a chivalrous female character, and she looks for roles based on this character. But according to Huo Siyan and others, isn't this equivalent to joining the National Army in 49?
It turns out that rushing around on your own is not a solution at all.
But the muddy water around Xu Kun was too deep, and she really didn't want to get involved.
And just when Yang Suo was hesitating.
Yang Mi was also staring at the screen with a depressed look. She was indeed at school, but because of her identity as an actress, she specifically applied for the privilege of carrying a mobile phone.
Although Huo Siyan said that the director wanted to find a substitute for Liu Yifei this time, everyone's elimination was not fault of their own.
But Yang Mi still felt that if he had not given up, he would have most likely been selected.
Xiong Naijin and Xu Kun had no contact, but he had acted in a play with Xu Kun and had also had scandals with him. If he had not given up, maybe he would have voted for him!
I don’t know what kind of role the company can arrange for me after I’m admitted to the Beijing Film Academy. It shouldn’t be worse than the heroine in “The Domineering CEO Falls in Love with Me”, right?
