Huayu Chunqiu, starting from being adopted by a fairy mother

Chapter 106 Sissi's Audition
The bearded man was explaining, but Sister Li said nothing and just looked through the information.

"Sister Li, if it's an ordinary role, I can just say a word. Qiao Feng, Xu Zhu, Duan Yu, Wang Yuyan, A'zhu and A'zi, these are important roles, and I can't make the final decision. I am the producer of the film, but there are investors above me. They also have roles they want to promote, and they also have relatives and friends."

"Well! Director Zhang, what do you think we should do?" Sister Li closed the information and didn't want to listen to the bearded man's nonsense.

As a producer, if he really needs to decide on a female lead, Big Beard has plenty of ways to do it.

Such remarks are just an attempt to take advantage of the opportunity to raise conditions.

"Oh! You can take a look at the audition and talk about it after it's over." The bearded man sighed.

"Okay." Sister Li wanted to refuse, but before she opened her mouth, Liu Jing agreed on her behalf.

Since Liu Jing agreed, she stopped talking.

Liu Jing also has his own little plan. You choose your roles, and I will find my own bonds.

There are still five spots left for the six bonds, and he is anxious.

There are dozens of actors here, all of them are young and beautiful, and basically meet the requirements of the bond. Through auditions, he can also do some screening.

The real big names all audition individually, such as Jimmy Lin, Jiang Qinqin, and Fan Bingbing. Liu Jing is not a member of the crew, so it is not easy for him to see the audition scenes.

But Liu Jing’s thinking has changed. He no longer wants to be bound by big names, as favorability is a big problem.

He tasted the sweetness with Gao Yuanyuan. The bond should be cultivated from the time when the person is unknown. It is easy to fool a rookie.

"By the way, Yifei, get ready. Let her audition for the role of Ah Zhu first. We still have to go through the necessary procedures to prevent others from saying that we have any insider information in the casting." The bearded man instructed.

Liu Jing glanced at Xixi and said, "I'm not as thick-skinned as this person."

Xixi raised her eyebrows and said, "Then you need to practice."

The bearded man invited Sister Li to watch the audition, but did not invite Liu Jing, but Liu Jing was not shameless.

Since you didn't chase me away, it means I'm also invited.

So, amid everyone's strange looks, he sat leisurely in the back so as not to delay your work.

In front of us were the interviewers. In addition to the producer Da Huzi, there were four other people, including director Zhou Xiaowen and Ju Jueliang, and the other two were representatives of investors.

The investor is the financial backer, the director is the boss of the set, and the producer is in charge of the money. The three parties are interviewed together, and no one party dominates the job.

"Hey! How many NetEase stocks did his wife buy?" Liu Jing nudged Sister Li with his shoulder, indicating that they wanted to talk.

Sister Li looked at him coldly. When did it become "hey"?

"Ahem, Sister Li, how many NetEase stocks did Fan Xinman buy?" Liu Jing was a little embarrassed. After hearing the bearded man call her Sister Li a few times, he suddenly couldn't say it out loud.

"Hundreds of thousands of dollars." Sister Li then looked away.

"It seems that the profit is not much. Big Beard wants some extra benefits. If I made a few million, Duan Yu would give it to me." Liu Jing laughed.

"You're right, he just wants to take advantage of the opportunity to get some benefits. I heard that when other roles were selected, there was also a phenomenon of buying roles. But they are all rumors and can't be taken seriously." Sister Li said in a low voice.

"There's no smoke without fire. We've heard of buying and selling official positions, but rarely of buying and selling actors. He treats casting as a business, and is not as good as Fatty Wang. Fatty Wang makes money in the open and takes the money under everyone's noses." Liu Jing shook his head, but did not despise him.

The actions of those directors from Hong Kong and Taiwan are much more outrageous than those of the bearded man.

They start with the crew, such as props, costumes, and shooting locations.

The situation for filming in Hong Kong and Taiwan is special: the leading actors have already been decided before the filming even begins.

Big names like Andy Lau, Stephen Chow, Li Lianjie and Jacky Cheung cannot take kickbacks.

Female stars like Zhang Min, Qiu Shuzhen, Guan Zhilin and Li Jiaxin were all directly arranged by their sponsors, and they had no chance to get kickbacks.

As for some small characters, the kickbacks don't make much money, so they simply don't ask for it.

In addition, few people who invested in movies at that time had clean backgrounds. It was true that they were filming with guns pointed at them, and directors did not dare to mess around with the money.

"Anything that can be done with money is not a problem." Sister Li didn't care.

"I'm just afraid his purpose is not money." Liu Jing looked leisurely. It is common for directors and producers to use their status to impose unspoken rules on artists.

When many artists first debut, they face a lot of challenges in order to secure a role.

If the director's body could keep up, he could be a bridegroom every night.

"You mean the unspoken rules? Haha, he doesn't dare. At worst, we can just stop acting." Sister Li sneered and glanced at Liu Jing. "No one in the crew is clean. We really shouldn't have let you hang out in the crew at such a young age. Zhang Min has never taken care of a child, and her values are not right. You've been with her for a long time, so how can your values be improved? A while ago, Lao An and I discussed that when you become an adult, you should get married and have children as soon as possible. With a family to tie you down and a wife to restrain you, you won't get into trouble outside every day."

"Hey, you are being unreasonable." Liu Jing was not convinced. I have a bad outlook on life and it has nothing to do with Zhang Min.

"Did I tell you to clean it up?" Sister Li was full of resentment. The two little guys were secretly plotting against them. It must have been Mu Tou's idea.

Xixi doesn't have the courage or the mind to do so.

"Don't disturb people's audition." Liu Jing put on a mask and headphones, and the world became quiet.

Ten minutes later, the audition began and Liu Jing took off his headphones on time.

Today he planned to splurge a bit and spend 100 points of entertainment energy to conduct two appraisals.

As for the third appraisal, it consumed 10,000 points, and he felt distressed.

Auditions for film crews are not random, they have their own set of procedures.

First, they release information to various agencies or related platforms, informing them of what kind of actors are needed, when the filming schedule is, and where the filming location is. After receiving this information, independent actors like Shu Chang and agencies like Jingxing send the actors' information and resumes to the crew.

After receiving the information, the crew will screen it and notify suitable actors to audition.

The audition does not make a decision on the spot. Two or three suitable actors will be retained for each role, and finally the final candidate will be determined through communication one by one.

The audition held by the "Tian Long" crew today is not the first time. The actors who participated in the audition were selected through various channels.

"Hello teachers, my name is Miao Pu, and I'm a student in the 98 acting class of Beijing Film Academy. This is my resume. The role I'm interviewing for is A Zi, and I hope you teachers can give me a chance." After Miao Pu finished speaking, she bowed to the judges, then handed her resume to the bearded man with both hands.

The first step of the audition is to introduce yourself, which usually takes less than half a minute.

Liu Jing was shocked. He was a student of Beijing Film Academy and had a good image.

He resisted the urge to make an appraisal. He would definitely use it on Yan Danchen once, and he had to be cautious the next time.

"You've acted in a movie, right? You know the scene where Ah Zi poked her eyes out and jumped off the cliff holding Qiao Feng in her arms? Act it out for me," the director said directly.

"Ah?" Miao Pu was stunned. She didn't know this scene.

Didn’t the company say that everything was arranged? How could this…

Liu Jing took out a pen and paper from his bag and wrote quickly on the notebook. He quickly wrote down the information about the nursery.

"director……"

Miao Pu just opened her mouth when she was interrupted by the director, who shouted, "Next one."

She bowed to the judges for the last time and left with a feeling of grievance.

"Looks like it's going to be brushed off." Liu Jing laughed. The college graduates were still too young.

You have a background, and she has a background too. Few people can get to this point through real strength.

The next one is also a beauty. None of those who come for the audition look bad.

"Hello, producer, hello, director. My name is Lin Xue, and I'm an artist of XX company. I'm good at dancing..." This one was even more humble and smiled brightly.

"Well! How do you understand A Zi?" asked the director.

"I think Ah Zi is a pitiful person. She has been..." Lin Xue talked eloquently and seemed well prepared.

Before he finished speaking for two minutes, the director frowned and interrupted him directly, "Okay, next one."

"Thank you, Director. Goodbye, Director." Lin Xue left gracefully. As soon as she walked out of the door, she kicked the wall and cursed, "We said everything well last night, but today you turned against me."

One after another, Liu Jing wanted to identify each one.

Those who have made it to this point have been carefully selected.

"Hello everyone, my name is Chen Hao, a student of the 97 class of the Central Academy of Drama..."

Liu Jing couldn't bear it any longer and threw a appraisal at Chen Hao.

[Explanation: A popular person is also a popular enemy. Some people hate him, while others like him.]

"Damn system, you really should go get a fortune teller." Liu Jing cursed inwardly and made a mark on Chen Hao's name.

"What are you doing? Why are you writing these things?" Sister Li had been wondering for a long time.

"There are too few actors signed by Jingxing Film and Television. I have to pay attention to a few more." Liu Jing didn't even raise his head. He had already thought of the reason.

"Don't you have a photographic memory? Why bother remembering it?" Sister Li was even more confused.

"I can remember everything I see, but I can't remember everything I hear." Liu Jing explained that what Sister Li thought of as a photographic memory was not a skill of the system, but Liu Jing's magic. After all, if he had such a good memory, he had to give a reasonable reason.

"Okay, you're right. " Sister Li stopped talking because Xixi came in.

"Hello, judges. My name is Liu Yifei and I am fifteen years old. I have just finished the college entrance examination and will soon become a college student. I have studied dance for a while and have also practiced martial arts. This is my resume, please take a look, director." Xixi's voice was still babyish and she was not at all stage frightened.

"Have you practiced martial arts? What kind of martial arts do you know?" The director became interested and asked quickly.

"I have practiced Wing Chun, Tai Chi, Xingyi, Sanda and Taekwondo. Actually, what I am best at is swordsmanship." Xixi answered calmly.

Liu Jing nudged Sister Li with his elbow and said, "Xixi is very open and not nervous at all. How is it? Did I train her well?"

Sister Li took a deep breath. What do you mean you cultivated him? She was about to retort, but suddenly froze. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that Liu Jing had cultivated him more.

"The training is good. Don't train her next time, so as not to lead Xixi astray." Sister Li was harsh in her words. She was not talking nonsense, but taking the opportunity to warn.

"You tear down the bridge after crossing the river, and blame the cook after eating." Liu Jing muttered.

"Swordsmanship?" The director was surprised. He whispered to the bearded man next to him and then said, "You should practice Tai Chi first."

"Here?" Xixi hesitated because the space was not very large.

"Haha, are you afraid that you can't use it?" the bearded man laughed.

"You can practice Tai Chi in a small space." When Xixi was sorting her clothes and fiddling with her hair, Liu Jing took a rope and walked towards Xixi, ignoring the doubtful looks of others.

He helped Xixi tie up her hair skillfully and found that Xixi was a little nervous. "Don't be nervous, behave well, I'm here."

Xixi pouted and said, "I wouldn't be nervous at all if you weren't here."
