"That 'You from the Star'?"
In contrast to Jiang Yangxu's inexplicable surprise, the senior sneered. He sat down on the edge of the bed, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and handed one to Jiang Yangxu.
Jiang Yangxu waved his hand to show that he didn't need it. He just stared at the other party nervously.
The senior didn't care. He lit one himself, took a big drag, and puffed out a smoke ring.
After a little addiction, he said, "I guess you definitely didn't get the news. Otherwise, you wouldn't have slept in the dormitory. I heard that the school announced it yesterday, but I only found out this morning."
He raised his head and looked at Jiang Yangxu with a teasing look. "You really don't know?"
Jiang Yangxu's face was very ugly.
Those who were qualified to go to Beijing Film Academy to choose actors were either people with connections or people with ability. Beijing Film Academy had its own pride, and it was absolutely impossible for some grassroots team to come here to swindle people.
In such a situation, the school would usually notify interested students to go for an interview. The specific notification was usually completed by the counselors, and some counselors would ask the dormitory head to inform the students.
Logically speaking, Jiang Yangxu should have been notified yesterday.
But he didn't.
Jiang Yangxu's phone must have been charged yesterday. He still clearly remembered that he had called last night, but this morning, it really turned off automatically.
So what went wrong?
Did the phone not receive the text message? Or could it not get through?
Jiang Yangxu didn't dare to think about it carefully. If he thought too deeply, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to control his anger.
Film Academy was different from ordinary universities. The latter was an ivory tower, while the former was the reserve of the entertainment and film industry. It was full of all kinds of things, intricate relationships, and intrigue. It was far from as pure and beautiful as it looked from the outside.
In the entertainment media, it was common to see students from a certain film school and students from a certain performing arts class gathering together to talk about friendship. It seemed that everyone was really very friendly and harmonious, but if one really dug into it …
Jiang Yangxu knew his own situation. First of all, his relationship with the dormitory head was not very good, and this time, it was Chenfei Media who came to cast "You from the Star"!
"You from the Star" can be said to have become popular before it was filmed. All kinds of news have already spread on the Internet. It is regarded as the most anticipated TV series of the year, and everyone in Beijing Film Academy knows about it.
Lu Chen and director Fang Hui once went to Beijing Film Studios to cast the last movie, "Full of Romance," and chose Fan Ying, who was a 14th-grade performer at that time. As a result, the latter rose to fame with the help of this TV series and became a newcomer in the circle. So far, she has received two TV series and a movie in a row, and even has a number of advertising endorsements.
Jiang Yangxu knew Fan Ying, and he knew how glorious she was right now!
Now the opportunity came to Beijing Film again, but he didn't know the news. Was it really just a coincidence?
Jiang Yangxu's lips involuntarily curled into a cold smile. However, he had no time to care about this. "Then …"
The senior smiled and said, "Go quickly, it's at the small auditorium. You can still make it if you go now!"
Jiang Yangxu was extremely grateful. If the other party hadn't run over to inform him, he would have missed such a precious opportunity. There was no way he could have redeemed it.
"Thank you, Senior!"
The senior patted Jiang Yangxu on the shoulder and said, "What are you thanking me for? I think you're a good person and a friend worth befriending. Just don't forget me when you become rich in the future."
In his line of work, he had to be slick and smooth. A person who was down and out today might rise to the top the next day. Who could say for sure?
Therefore, he had to earn the money that he needed to earn, and he had to help those who were worth helping within his ability. Moreover, it was as easy as lifting a finger!
"Go quickly, I'll wait for your good news!"
"Okay!"
Jiang Yangxu agreed and changed into a pair of trousers as fast as he could. He briefly combed his hair in front of the mirror, and then rushed out like a whirlwind, rushing to the small auditorium of the college.
He also rushed to his own future.
At the same time, Lu Chen and Fang Hui were already sitting in the front row of the auditorium, interviewing the first student.
This was the second time the two of them were here to choose actors.
The last time they filmed "Full House of Romance", it was also Lu Chen and Fang Hui who chose two students from Jing Ying.
Since Lu Chen's debut, his main achievements in the field of film and television were two TV series and one movie, not to mention music videos and commercials.
Although the themes of his movies and TV works were different, there were many similarities.
The scripts were written by Lu Chen himself, and he was also the leading actor. He also composed the arrangement and theme song.
In addition, Lu Chen liked to choose newcomers or actors with high cost-performance ratio. Apart from Chen Fei 'er, he had never invited big names in the film and television industry. Even the directors he used were second or third-rate.
Of course, Fang Hui was now definitely a first-rate TV series director in the country.
And all these similarities made people analyze. First of all, the production cost of Lu Chen's film and television works was very low. Big expenses in terms of remuneration were less than his competitors.
In today's film and television production, the remuneration of actors was the majority of the cost. In some films or TV series, the remuneration of actors alone might account for 70% of the budget!
Such a situation was undoubtedly an abnormal phenomenon caused by the rapid development of the entertainment industry. The market value of stars was getting higher and higher, and they would not easily lower their net worth, so investors could only save money in shooting and production.
As a result, there were more and more bad movies, more and more advertisements in films and television, and more and more audiences scolded.
However, the bad movies played by big stars were still sought after. As long as there was a good hype, there was a possibility of profit, so this phenomenon could not be stopped.
In turn, the high remuneration of star actors also attracted countless artists to devote themselves to it.
But the films and TV series invested by Lu Chen were not like this. He liked to use newcomers in his films, and also made many originally unknown newcomers popular. It was okay to say that he was stingy and thrifty, but this ability was also very admirable.
Therefore, for the students of Jing Ying, Lu Chen's new TV series was their best opportunity to choose actors in the college. Once they were selected, it was equivalent to directly stepping into the circle and having a very high starting point.
There was already the best example before!
So who wouldn't want to seize such an opportunity?
However, in many cases, the more eager one was, the easier it was to go wrong. For example, the performance student who had just come on stage was also an experienced senior student. Not only did he overexert his impromptu performance, but he also mispronounced two words in a simple line.
He was too nervous.
Lu Chen shook his head at Fang Hui, who said with a smile, "Next."
