At the beginning, Gu Jia and Jiang Nansun were intercepted, and Qiao Yingzi pursued them

"Come on, I told you you were fat and you're still panting."

Yan Peng pleaded again, "Brother Fan, my idea is really reliable. If you don't let me act, it would be a shame to my life for the past ten years."

After he said that, Qin Fan was really moved. No matter how perfect an actor is, how can he be as convincing as if he were acting in his true self?

Apart from anything else, Yan Peng looked like a little submissive and it was obvious that he was easy to bully.

Qin Fan’s only concern was that Yan Peng had absolutely no acting experience.

Although the roles of the two husbands in this drama have been reduced a lot, from the original two male protagonists to two male supporting roles, they are still very important.

If Yan Peng messes up, I won’t even have a place to cry.

Qin Fan was a little embarrassed and simply pushed the problem to Lin Zhijie.

"Director Lin happens to be in Yunmiao Village. I'll recommend you to him. If he wants to use you, the third male role is yours. If not, then I can't do anything about it."

I believe that with Lin Zhijie's professional vision, he should know whether Yan Peng can be used.

Yan Peng was overjoyed. "Anyway, I have to thank Brother Fan for giving me this audition opportunity. You said I'm going to be a star soon, so do I need an agent? No, I need an assistant."

At this point, Yan Peng suddenly asked, "Your agency department at Xingmang Films should assign an agent and an assistant, right? Can you please give them a call for me? Make sure you pick out a beautiful, pure, and sexy one for me..."

Qin Fan's teeth ached when he heard this. "You haven't even landed a role yet, and you're already looking for an assistant. Do you want me to assign you a beautiful driver and bodyguard, or a slender nanny who cooks delicious meals?"

Yan Peng smiled and took advantage of the situation.

"Well...it's not impossible to consider. I'm not the type to be particularly high-profile, but considering that I'll become a top star in the future, I still have to have the proper pomp and ceremony."

Qin Fan gave him a look that said, "Stop daydreaming. Think about how to get past Director Lin."

In the afternoon, after Lin Zhijie finished talking with the village committee, Qin Fan recommended Yan Peng to him and let him make his own decision.

Before leaving, looking at Yan Peng's expectant eyes, Qin Fan couldn't help but say a good word for him.

"Director Lin, when I wrote this script, I actually took Yan Peng's personality and family into consideration. If you think he can act like himself, you can give him priority."

Lin Zhijie understood what he meant. Since Yan Peng is the real-life version of Peng Yan, it is worth considering.

It doesn't matter if he has no acting skills. As long as he can act as he is in this drama and focus on it, the effect of his performance should be better than that of ordinary actors.

.......

686: Hidden rules? The beauty of power!

After Qin Fan left, Lin Zhijie looked at Yan Peng and said:

"I'm here today mainly to discuss filming locations, and I don't have much to prepare. How about this? Tomorrow morning at 10:00, you come to the Dream Hotel. I'll call the casting director and give you a private audition."

Yan Peng didn't know if he had seen too much negative news about the entertainment industry, or if his brain had suddenly short-circuited. When he heard Lin Zhijie say that he was going to the hotel for an audition, and it was a separate show, he immediately thought of something wrong.

He instinctively took a step back, distanced himself, and looked at Lin Zhijie in horror.

"You still want to play the unspoken rules?"

Fuck you!

Lin Zhijie's face darkened. If this guy hadn't been recommended by President Qin himself, he would have been kicked out just based on this sentence.

"You are the one recommended by President Qin. How could I have such thoughts? Besides, I don't like men. Come tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. Come if you want."

Lin Zhijie didn't want to pay any attention to this funny guy and left immediately after saying that.

Yan Peng muttered, "Who knows if you're into that? I heard the entertainment industry is pretty chaotic. I have to protect myself."

Yan Peng finally couldn't resist the temptation of being a star and went to Mengqi Hotel for a solo audition.

The whole process was quite normal, without the unspoken rules he had imagined. However, Lin Zhijie had a dark face throughout, as if he owed me 100 million.

Seeing the producer's ugly expression, the assistant director Shen Yifan who was in charge of casting understood what he meant. It seemed that today's audition was not going to be simple.

It is likely that Yan Peng has strong connections, and even Director Lin couldn't afford to lose face, so he specially arranged a separate audition for him. However, judging from Director Lin's expression, it seems that he is not very willing to use Yan Peng.

The more Shen Yifan thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was more likely. It seemed that he had to help Director Lin share his worries and solve his problems.

"Stop! Yan Peng, just perform well. Why are you always looking at us?"

"Okay, director, I'll do it again."

……

"Stop! You're not looking at us this time, are you looking at the camera again?"

Shen Yifan banged the table angrily, "This is a filming, not a live broadcast. Do you still want to interact with the audience?"

Yan Peng hurriedly apologized, "I was wrong, I'm sorry, please give me another chance."

……

"Stop! You can't even pronounce your lines right? Do you know how to act? If you can't act, get out of here! Aren't you just wasting our time?"

Seeing Shen Yifan interrupting Yan Peng's performance again and again, Lin Zhijie didn't say anything, but his expression looked much better.

Seeing this, Shen Yifan was secretly happy, it seemed that this bet was right.

I'll try harder and try to make this guy give up and end the audition on his own initiative.

In this way, Director Lin can save both his reputation and his dignity, so he must look at me differently, right?

Thinking of this, the casting director became even more excited and became more demanding of Yan Peng's performance. At first, he would only speak up when there were mistakes, but later he directly held Yan Peng to the standards of a professional actor.

Being stopped more than thirty times in a row was unbearable even for Yan Peng, who had a good temper.

He simply gave up acting and walked directly to Lin Zhijie, smiling and asking, "Director Lin, what do you think of my audition? Is it suitable for the role of Peng Yan?"

"Suitable for you, what the hell! First, you have no acting experience, and second, you're not serious. You can't stand being told a few things. Director Lin took time out of his busy schedule to arrange a special audition for you, but not only are you not grateful, you're just going through the motions."

Shen Yifan became more and more excited as he spoke, his saliva almost spraying on Yan Peng's face.

"With your unprofessional attitude, I don't even want to give you the role of a supporting actor, let alone the third male lead!"

Yan Peng finally understood that this casting director seemed to be very hostile to him for some reason.

I wondered why I didn't even know him, so why was he so repulsed by me?

Could it be that Lin Zhijie instructed it?

Yan Peng ignored Shen Yifan and asked Lin Zhijie directly, "Director Lin, I've performed this over and over again more than 30 times. You must have a good idea of ​​my performance. Just tell me whether you will give me the third male role or not, so that I can report to my brother-in-law."

Shen Yifan looked perverse, "Yan Peng! What's your attitude? I asked you to perform a few more times for your own good, to correct your mistakes in the performance, so what? And you even brought up your brother-in-law, who are you trying to scare?"

"I'm just saying this. No matter who your brother-in-law is, I won't give you this third man."

Yan Peng immediately said, "Fuck it!" and pointed at the other person's nose, "You said it, don't regret it!"

"Oh, you dare to point at me, that's outrageous! You dare to be so disrespectful to the director during the audition, so when you get on the crew, won't you be so disrespectful?"

Shen Yifan looked at Lin Zhijie with anger, "Director Lin, I don't think Yan Peng is suitable for the third male role. Let's end this audition here."

However, to his great surprise, Lin Zhijie, who had remained silent from beginning to end, suddenly spoke.

"I think Yan Peng is quite suitable for the third male lead. Let's use him. Director Xu, prepare a contract for him."

The latter sentence was directed to the director sitting on the left.

At Star Pictures, the director's power is far less than that of the producer.

Director Xu is quite young, in his thirties, and was chosen by Lin Zhijie to be the director of "A Little Willingness". However, he is only responsible for filming and has basically no decision-making power on other matters, including casting.

Lin Zhijie asked him to audition more out of respect for the director.

Director Xu also knew that he had little say in the casting, so he simply showed up with his eyes but not his mouth, and didn't say a word the entire time.

"What did I say? Even Director Lin doesn't think you're suitable... Huh? What? Just use him?"

Shen Yifan's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Lin Zhijie in surprise, "Director Lin, are you really going to use him?"

I'm just helping you out, you can't play tricks on me like this!

Lin Zhijie patted him on the shoulder and said, "Although Yan Peng has no acting experience, his image and temperament are very suitable for the third male lead. As for acting skills, we can slowly hone them after we join the crew, don't you think?"

Shen Yifan felt his face burning, and revealed a smile that was uglier than crying. "Yes, yes, Director Lin is absolutely right. I think so too."

Lin Zhijie thought about it and decided to take Yan Peng to sign the contract in person, so that this kid wouldn't speak without restraint in front of President Qin and say that he neglected him.

.......

687: So cool! In-depth communication!

After the two men left, Shen Yifan sat back in his chair, his face turning pale and blue.

He couldn't understand why Director Lin still wanted to use Yan Peng when he obviously didn't like him?

Is it true that Yan Peng's brother-in-law is so powerful that even Director Lin doesn't dare to offend him?

Good boy! If that were the case, wouldn't it be like flattering someone and inadvertently offending a real boss?

After a long silence, Shen Yifan suddenly looked at Director Xu.

"Who is Yan Peng's brother-in-law?"

Director Xu pointed to the ceiling and gave a mysterious smile.

"You said his brother-in-law is a senior executive in the company?"

"Guess higher."

"Could it be the senior management of the parent company?"

"Keep guessing!"

"Still going up??? Could it be...Boss Qin!!!!"

Director Xu didn't say anything else, packed up his things and left.

After a while, cold sweat began to appear on Shen Yifan's forehead, and he wanted to slap himself both.

Let you flatter! Let you be blind! Let you be smart!

On the other side, seeing Yan Peng getting the role and looking so happy, Lin Zhijie became furious and took out a contract and put it in front of him.

"Yan Peng, don't be too happy yet. I want to tell you something."

"Director Lin, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

"It's like this. You're an amateur, you don't have any fame, and you're not a film and television professional. I'm taking a huge risk by giving you the role of Peng Yan."

Yan Peng smiled and said, "Yes, yes, that's why we say Director Lin has good vision and courage. There are only a few people in the entire film and television industry who dare to boldly use newcomers."

Isn't he quite good at talking? Why did he lose his mind that day?

Lin Zhijie said indifferently, "Take a look at the contract. According to industry rules, amateurs like you are usually paid nothing for acting. I'll give you a 10,000 yuan subsidy. If you have no problem with it, sign the contract."

As an outsider, Yan Peng didn't know whether there was such a rule or whether Lin Zhijie deliberately didn't want to pay him more, but it didn't matter.

He wanted to act in this TV series. Firstly, who doesn't have a dream of becoming a star? Secondly, after reading the script, he felt that Peng Yan in the play was tailor-made for him. He was so eager to take on the role.

As for the film remuneration, ten thousand is fine, I'm not short of money anyway.

Seeing Yan Peng signed the contract happily, Lin Zhijie finally smiled and reminded him.

"Although you and Mr. Qin are related, you still have to follow the crew's rules after joining the crew. Try not to reveal your relationship with Mr. Qin to outsiders. If you have any difficulties, please come to me directly."

Yan Peng shook Lin Zhijie's hand vigorously, "Director Lin, thank you for giving me this opportunity to participate in this film. It has fulfilled my childhood dream of becoming an actor. I don't know how to thank you enough."

"If you want to thank someone, go thank Mr. Qin. Without his approval, I wouldn't dare to hire you."

After saying goodbye to Lin Zhijie, Yan Peng walked out of the hotel.

Suddenly, a figure ran in front of him at a speed of 100 meters in 10 seconds, and Yan Peng was really scared.

Looking closely, isn't that the casting director who had been making things difficult for him just now? What was his name, Shen Yifan or Shen Yifan?

Shen Yifan showed the most gentle smile ever, "Brother Yan, has the contract been signed?"

It was a bit strange to be suddenly called "brother" by someone who was several years older than him. What made Yan Peng even more surprised was the other party's attitude.

During the audition just now, your nose was not a nose, your eyes were not eyes, and you criticized yourself from beginning to end. Now you are acting so enthusiastic, are you trying to make trouble for yourself?

"Yes, the contract has been signed. Director Shen is disappointed."

Shen Yifan quickly apologized, "I'm very sorry for what happened just now. The reason I kept interrupting your audition was because I wanted your performance to be more perfect and meet Director Lin's requirements."

Yan Peng squinted at him and said, "According to you, you scolded me so harshly just now, but it was actually for my own good. Not only should I not be angry, but I should be grateful to you, right?"
