Chapter 120
When the staff heard that the two had confirmed the role of the male lead, they went straight outside and announced that the male lead had finished auditioning, and if there were no other roles they wanted to try, they could leave.
Bohong had a bad feeling after seeing Jingming coming in. He had never seen Jingming's performance before. He was jealous of Jingming's external conditions, his persistence in his dreams, and his determination not to be shaken by interests. Now he is even more jealous. It was because he was jealous that he had excellent connections and resources.
He just heard that Jing Ming was brought over by Director Shen Wang, and Bo Hong would never have dared to be recommended by such a great director, but now he is even more angry at Jing Ming's usual inaction. It seems that it is difficult and impossible to find resources for yourself to become a great director!
After watching Jingming's performance, Bo Hong's heart was burning like fire, and he was extremely angry. He was not convinced by Jingming's crushing acting skills, on the contrary, he was even more unwilling to complain. Jingming's acting skills are so good, usually The appearance of thinking about them is probably pretending. Even though their acting skills are so good, they have to say that they are laymen and don’t want to be an artist. They have learned so well in secret, and they have not tried to improve their acting skills. It is simply selfish!
A person with a good heart sees a beautiful world, but a person with a bad heart, no matter what everyone does is bad, even if he pays for you, it will be misinterpreted as having some other purpose.
The actors who were auditioning for the role of the second male in the private room basically stood up and walked outside when they heard Qu Yi's words, Bo Hong was no exception, he didn't want to look at Jing Ming again, he was afraid that he couldn't help but rush up Ask him, put on a show on weekdays, pretend to be wronged on Weibo and act like everyone is sorry for him, isn't it fun to watch them being maliciously abused by netizens one by one!
However, the remaining rationality in Bo Hong's heart told him that he couldn't do that, so he turned his face and forced himself to calm down, and left the hotel without looking back.
But other people basically have nothing to do with Jingming. Even if they are in the same company, because of the company's face, they step on Jingming's foot. When they are attacked by netizens, they basically think it is retribution. , when he saw the news, he turned off the phone directly, cut off all contact with the company, and when he finished filming and came out, the matter had already been settled, he didn't offend the company, and he was the only artist under Jing Ming who didn't talk back.
Luo Jin's character is upright and courageous. Although his temper is more likely to offend people, he has absolutely nothing to say to his friends. The last time Jing Ming helped him, although it was just a matter of his duty, he was not willing to make trouble. His ability is not enough to help Jing Ming, but he is unwilling to hold back any longer.
Jing Ming came to audition artists here, besides Luo Jin and Bo Hong, there was also Xu Chao, who had no sense of presence, and he was also the second male audition today. Unwilling to give up such a good opportunity, I took the number plate and asked the staff if I could try another role.
Those who can audition for the male lead and the second male role basically either have some background or good strength. Although the male lead has been confirmed, the other male supporting roles have not yet been finalized. The assistant director welcomes them to change careers to audition for other supporting roles. Will kick it out mercilessly.
Originally, there were more than 100 people who auditioned. A cast does not need an audition, and a role with one or two lines does not need such a formal audition. In fact, these people are already very satisfied if they can have a few episodes and a few lines. But if there is a good choice, of course I want to try male three and male four, but after this group of auditions for male second, five or six people directly transfer to another room, and two of them are old actors who have participated in many dramas , the male second did not try, it does not mean that they are not strong enough, it can only be said that they do not fit the personality.
It didn't matter if they changed houses, the roles of the third male and the fourth male were quickly taken down. Among them, Xu Chao got the third male role because he was more in line with his image and performed well.
Afterwards, Jing Ming sat in the room and watched the director continue to audition for a few more times before announcing that Luo Jin had been confirmed. In fact, he was able to be promoted to the male lead position, and could be supported by the original host all the time. He was the best performer among his artists. One, Luo Jin's acting skills are definitely nothing to talk about. If he has a better temper, then he will definitely be able to advance one step further, directly to the second-tier or even first-tier artists.
Those who succeeded in the audition had to stay in the hotel to discuss the signing of the contract. Jing Ming stayed there until it was almost lunch time, and then followed the director out of the room with Luo Jin.
In these two hours, two people who basically only knew each other got together and chatted in a low voice. The speed of the relationship was faster than that of working together for several years.
In fact, knowing Luo Jin had a feeling that Jing Ming had changed, he was not the same as before, and he looked much more pleasing to the eye than before when he no longer swallowed his anger.
"Let's take a look at the contract." Qu Yi printed out the information on the contract that had been prepared earlier, and handed it to the corresponding candidate.
Qingkong Company has a big business, and Jingming was recommended by his old friend Shen Wang. For him, Qu Yi would not deliberately deduct Jingming's performance fee, but because he is not very used to Jingming's new identity, Qu Yi habitually The contracts of Xu Chao and Luo Jin were handed over to Jing Ming together.
"..." Xu Chao was silent for a while, stretched out his hand in embarrassment, and asked Jingming for the documents, "I need to show the contract to the agent."
Jing Ming didn't speak, just handed over the document, then took out another document, tilted his head to look at Luo Jin and asked, "Do you want to show it to the manager too?"
"No need, just show me if it's not troublesome." Luo Jin didn't reach out his hand, just looked at Jingming like this, speaking not very politely, it can be said that the tone was quite casual.
"Okay." Jing Ming picked up the document and flipped through it, drew a horizontal line on the disputed place with a signature pen, and then handed it to Luo Jin, "You ask your agent to talk to the crew, the contract is not a big problem, everything is fine." It's just a little problem, I didn't intend to deceive people."
"Thank you." Luo Jin took the contract, patted Jing Ming on the shoulder and walked away without any intention of looking for an agent. The artist below is completely unfamiliar with the manager, and the two of them are basically you just leave me alone and I won't cause trouble for you. This kind of relationship, this time, the company leader came to Luo Jin directly after he wanted to make a bad move.
Jing Ming paused, followed with strides, and walked into the temporary office side by side with Luo Jin.
"We have some doubts about the contract." Jing Ming stretched out his hand and took the contract away from Luo Jin, then patted the two sets of contracts on the desk together, and said in a very polite voice, "I think we need to discuss it."
The crew's legal affairs are really a little confused. It's normal to have a dispute over the contract, but usually they don't find it so quickly. They just printed it out and sent it over, so they just finished reading it?
"Then... sit down, what's the problem? I'll take a look." Picking up the myopia on the table, pulling the stool and sitting forward, the legal affairs officer took the lead to open the document on it.
"Fifth line, this sentence is controversial." Jing Ming propped one hand on the table, picked up a pen with the other hand, and drew a straight horizontal line under the controversial sentence, "If this sentence says so, execute the above sentence." Uncertain things might happen, like…”
In the next 10 minutes, Luo Jin, who was watching Jingming's office for the first time, was completely hallucinated.
So Jingming's aura is so strong?He majored in business, not law, right?Why does it feel that compared with Jing Ming, the legal affairs of the crew seem very unreliable.
At the beginning, the legal officer was able to have a few words with Jing Ming, but every rebuttal would be refuted word by word by Jing Ming with examples. In the end, he was a little skeptical about life. Nowadays, artists... are like this Is it great?
When Qu Yi and Shen Wang came back after going to the toilet, what they saw was Jing Ming standing behind the legal affairs officer, pointing to the contract and saying that the legal affairs affairs officer was making changes non-stop. He was very obedient and did not object to a single word.
"What is this for?" Qu Yi was a little strange. He walked over and took a look, and then he was dazed by the dense and logical contract that he knew every word but was incomprehensible when connected together. dazzled.
"Mr. Jing found some loopholes in the contract." The legal officer was about to cry. He had never doubted his professionalism like now. He also checked this contract several times before he dared to use it. Thinking that in Jingming's hands, it is full of loopholes, and every loophole in Jingming's mouth may cause major mistakes, causing various risks for artists or crews.
Qu Yi picked up the contract and flipped through it. Looking at the horizontal lines on each page, he knew that it was a loophole that Jing Ming had picked out, but no matter how he looked at it, he didn't think there was anything wrong with this statement.
Looking at the two pairs of curious eyes next to him, Jing Ming silently patted the shoulder of the legal affairs officer, and said under the despairing eyes of the other party, "You are too slow to change, let me do it. You... go and tell the director about the loopholes. matter."
"...Okay." The kind of contract that I draw up by myself seems to be back when I was in school, and was asked by the teacher to take the test paper that I failed, and explain to the class on the podium how stupid I am to make such a mistake. A low-level error.
The loopholes in the contract, anyway, if you pick them out, I will correct them for you. If you don’t pick them out, just leave them as they are. As long as you don’t harm yourself or benefit others, you will generally not take the initiative to modify the loopholes in the contract. What if it can be used one day? .
"Xiao Jing is very knowledgeable, and he is worthy of being a student who graduated from a top school." Shen Wang habitually praised Jingming. After getting along with each other in the past two months, the crew has cultivated a lot of Jingming's fans, and they go everywhere. To praise Jing Ming, the director Shen Wang is the one who blatantly praises Jing Ming for stepping on others. Every time he shoots a film, as long as there is one ng, he will praise Jing Ming's cleverness with extravagant hype, and then he will be disgusted with those who have made mistakes.
"The film crew will have a meal together at noon. You can rest for a while after the meal. The press conference is at 02:30 in the afternoon, right? It's early." Sitting on the sofa, Qu Yi seemed to have just been given an advanced Chinese class. One or two words that are different, or the reverse of the word order can cause such a big loss, opened his eyes and made him sleepy habitually. You must know that Qu Yi is a well-known self-taught director, and the reason is that he falls asleep as soon as he is in class. , The efficiency is not as good as reading books and tutorials by yourself.
"Ah, I'm not in a hurry." Shen Wang looked at his watch and found that Jingming had already started printing documents with the printer, so he nodded and opened his mouth to agree, "As long as you don't drink, eating is definitely fine. After signing Let's go to dinner with the contract, have everyone else's contracts been signed?"
"I guess I just sent it to the company. I guess it will take half an hour at the earliest to finish the signing. Let's order food first. If it doesn't work, let's have a small gathering without bringing them." If the contract is not completed, others may be busy with their work. Only legal affairs can never be vacant. It is so heartbreaking to watch the free meal just like this!
"It's done." Jing Ming signed his name in a fluttering manner. The beautiful cursive characters are the same as the printed ones. Every part of the signature is the same size, no matter the angle of the stroke or the strength of the brush. If you scan and compare , it is no exaggeration to say that it is absolutely 100% coincidence rate.
Everyone is already familiar with such things as signing a contract. The contract is signed after showing it to the agent, especially the default one. In fact, the contract is negotiated long ago.
This is the icing on the cake for Luo Jin, and Xu Chao can't get a ride if he wants the contract back. The crew didn't even think about it, so they only revised the contract for the two of them. One, only Xu Chao, the agent didn't take him seriously, he simply took a look and found that there was nothing wrong with him and let him sign the contract. Later, when something happened, it was discovered that only a few people in the whole crew did not modify that one. Regulations, except for him, they are all artists who can't afford legal counsel and don't have a brokerage company. I really regret it.
After the audition, the candidate for the next filming has basically been determined. The heroine Feng Xiangjingming has also met it. It is a coincidence that she is the young actress in Extreme Self who has just become famous. Because the first drama became popular, the company paid attention to her and started Touch her hard.
"What a coincidence, Jingming!" Even though we've known each other for a short time, Feng Xiang's straightforward and straightforward personality is much more reserved than Hu Shi's. An old friend for a long time, it's like never seeing Jing Ming during the audition.
However, the audition scene is really not a good place to chat. Everyone looked nervously at the contestants showing off their acting skills. Those who didn't make it were even more nervous. There was a lot of pressure. Even if Feng Xiang was strongly recommended by the company, she still had to be serious. After taking the assessment seriously, it will be determined whether she can participate in the role as the female lead.
At that time, Feng Xiang was so nervous that he didn't notice Jing Ming, it's not impossible, after all, the male character was chosen first, and the female lead candidates sat in the last row, nervously preparing for their performance and concentrating on it.
However, Feng Xiang still has some acting skills. She was born in a major and has the unique spirituality of a newcomer. It is the most special and short-lived thing when it is not honed. Every move and performance is very innovative, and sometimes it may not be too good. It is suitable, but it is easy to strike a special spark with the screenwriters and directors.
"What a coincidence." Jing Ming nodded, thinking that the life of the crew should be easy in the future.
Although he was set to play the second male lead in Honey, Jing Ming followed Director Shen Wang the whole time today, completely treating himself as an outsider, not participating in entertainment, not currying favor with the director, just eating there silently, holding hands Holding the phone in his hand, he kept sending text messages to Gao Yang.
"You...forget it." Shen Wang originally wanted to say that you must have a good relationship with others when you meet for the first time, right?But looking at Luo Jin and Jing Ming at the side are similar, Feng Xiang has been completely eaten by the crew, even if there is no Luo Jin and Jing Ming, the people at the same table are still chatting happily, thinking about Jing Ming's strength, even if he doesn't care about interpersonal relationships, As long as the crew dare not do bad things in private, it will not affect Jing Ming at all. After all, all his time outside of filming is basically dedicated to his big boss.
For Shen Wang, Gao Yang was the highest leader he could get in touch with. Although he didn't know the news of the high-level handover, he always called Gao Yang the big boss in his heart.
After that, he popularized Jingming's characteristics to Qu Yi, and showed him his modified script. Today, the script he expanded, and a certain page of Sunny's script, are all about Jingming, and the part is infinitely expanded. , The details described are almost like writing a program.
"You're too exaggerated..." It was the first time Qu Yi heard that there were still people doing this, and he didn't quite understand.
"No, I used to give him ordinary scripts, and he was not very good at expressing, very rigid, like uh... a very template kind of performance, very textbook, as if he was from a major, and every action was scripted. It's as if an expression has been rigidly defined, it's very strange." Shen Wang explained seriously.
"Hasn't he always been an agent? Didn't he also take acting lessons?"
"I don't know, anyway, just follow what I said. His comprehension ability is very good. Every time I teach him, he can quickly grasp it, but he is not the kind of person who draws inferences from one example, but he doesn't need you to be too old." If you have a suitable movie to recommend to him, he can also set a good example, very good." Speaking of this, Shen Wang's expression was a little amazed, he couldn't help making exaggerated movements and expressions, facing Qu Yi said, "It's hard for you to imagine, his ability is like copying, perfectly reproducing the image in the film, whether it's the angle in the camera, or the subtle expression, every move is fine. To the millimeter, you will be amazed if you see it once!"
"You are really obsessed." Qu Yi sighed helplessly, casually flipped through the script Shen Wang gave him, and compared Jing Ming's performance before. Although he could vaguely remember some details, he had experienced so many performances today. I really can't remember clearly, if Shen Wang had told him at that time to compare the script to watch the performance, he would probably be able to understand a little or two of Shen Wang's current mood.
After eating at noon, everyone parted ways. Shen Wang took Jingming to the venue where the press conference was going to be held in the afternoon. The staff in the venue were already busy, and the venue was in a mess.
Hu Shi called before, saying that she was stuck on the road and it would take half an hour to arrive, but Lin Xuan came very early, and she was putting on makeup when Jing Ming entered the stage.
"Good afternoon, have you eaten yet?" Seeing Jing Ming's figure in the mirror, Lin Xuan greeted him.
"I've eaten." Jing Ming replied, and then the stylist pushed me to the seat next to Lin Xuan, "Today Director Shen took me to the audition, and we had a meal together after signing the contract."
"That's right. Director Shen rarely introduces people to other crews." Lin Xuan has actually joined another crew recently, but he is not particularly busy, and he can still squeeze out time for press conferences and publicity.
"Director Shen...the words he used to introduce me are quite strange." Jing Ming was speechless, sighed, and wanted to shake his head but was caught by the stylist.
"Don't move!" The stylist grabbed the hair with one hand and curled it slightly with a hot hair iron with the other. It can be said that he was very focused.
"Hahahahahaha."
