Accompanying Lu Chen to Beijing Film Studio for casting, Fang Hui was in a very happy mood.
Very happy.
Two years ago, Fang Hui was just a second-rate or third-rate director in the film and television industry. Although she had made many films and TV plays, none of them were very popular. There was an unreachable distance between her and those big names in the industry.
Although the money she made was not very small, Fang Hui had her own ambitions.
The first time she cooperated with Lu Chen was to shoot a music video. It was the music video of the title song of MSN, the most popular girl group in the Chinese music industry. Lu Chen was the male lead in the film.
At that time, Lu Chen left a deep impression on Fang Hui.
She didn't expect that after that cooperation, Lu Chen actually called to invite her to shoot a TV play.
Fang Hui agreed, and then there was "Autumn in My Heart"!
This urban romance drama was a great success and even set a ratings record in South Korea. It also pushed Fang Hui herself to the position of a quasi-A-list TV play director in one fell swoop.
After years of persistence, she became famous in one play! At that time, Fang Hui was a little complacent.
As a result, she almost missed Lu Chen's second TV play "Full House of Romance". Now that she thought about it, her mentality was really a little out of balance at that time.
Fortunately, she came to her senses in time and continued to direct "Full House of Romance", making herself truly an A-list director!
This time, Lu Chen was preparing to shoot the finale of his urban trilogy. Fang Hui had vacated her schedule early and refused the invitations of many films and TV plays. The loss was so great that her agent was very distressed.
According to her agreement with Lu Chen, the salary for directing "You from the Star" was only twice that of "Full House of Romance", which was a big gap from her current net worth.
But Fang Hui was willing to endure it. She even told her agent that even if she didn't get a penny, she was willing to direct the TV play and work for Lu Chen for free.
Although it was just a joke, it also showed the importance Fang Hui attached to the TV play.
Because Fang Hui had every reason to believe that "You from the Star" would create the peak of her career!
With this strong confidence, Fang Hui came to Beijing Film Studio for casting. Her level was different, and her eyes were more picky and strict than when she came last time.
"You from the Star" had a total investment budget of nearly 100 million yuan and a length of 35 episodes. Whether it was the story setting or the plot content, it was far richer than the first two, and the difficulty and requirements of filming were naturally higher.
Then the characters in the movie would be very important!
The first student from Beijing Film Academy for the interview had been studying in the academy for three years. After the summer vacation, he would be a senior student. His appearance was very good, and he also had some acting experience. However, he did not leave a good impression on Fang Hui. There were several problems in a very simple impromptu performance, and he was more nervous than a freshman.
Therefore, she could only apologize in her heart and directly said, "Next."
Jing Ying Sheng, who was on the stage, was very clear that he had messed up his performance. Facing his teacher's resentful gaze from the audience, he was so ashamed that he wished he could find a hole to crawl into. He just wanted to find a place to fiercely slap himself.
Being the first to go on stage was very stressful, but it was also easy to leave a deep impression on the director.
The result was a bad impression.
The most important thing was that he knew too well what this opportunity meant to him. For a moment, his blood surged and he asked, "Teacher Lu, Teacher Fang, can you give me another chance?"
Seeing his remorseful look, Fang Hui couldn't help but feel compassionate and asked Lu Chen next to her with her eyes.
Lu Chen shook his head again.
It wasn't that he didn't want to give the other party a chance, but that this person was not the ideal candidate in his mind.
Sitting on the right side of Lu Chen, Teacher Chen from the Academic Affairs Office of Beijing Film was very good at observing people's words and expressions. He immediately said in a deep voice, "Gao Zhen, pay attention to discipline. The students behind you are still waiting!"
He must be the bad guy, otherwise, wouldn't it make things difficult for Lu Chen and Fang Hui?
And if everyone was like this, then what face would Jing Ying have to speak of — wouldn't the students be taught too badly?
Gao Zhen drooped his head and wilted off the stage like a frosted eggplant.
Most of the students backstage who also came for the interview cast a gloating look at him, and a few who were familiar with Gao Zhen comforted him. As for what they thought in their hearts, that was another story.
Opportunities were very precious and rare. A TV series of this level was really a pit for every radish. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for students like them to have a chance.
That was to say, Lu Chen especially liked to use newcomers, so everyone had a chance.
With one less competitor, there would be one more hope.
"Number 2!"
The interview started at 8: 30 in the morning and lasted until 12 o 'clock at noon. There were as many as 70 or 80 people who signed up. It should be known that there were only 20 or 30 people in a class of the Performance Department of Beijing Film. It could be said that most of the people came, including a few non-performance students.
No one knew who helped them, but they also got the opportunity to interview.
Director Fang Hui was in charge of the casting, but she obviously respected Lu Chen's opinion very much. She discussed with Lu Chen from time to time during the interview, and all her words and deeds touched the hearts of the students present.
"Number 109!"
Teacher Chen of the Academic Affairs Office moved a little uneasily and said to Lu Chen, "It should be the last one."
Lu Chen nodded and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Chen. Let's have lunch together."
Teacher Chen smiled and said, "It's not hard, it's my job …"
He was eager for Lu Chen to pick a few more students. Although the influence of Beijing Film is accumulated by a group of excellent students, luck is really very important in this circle. (TN: Beijing Film Studio is a place where a group of excellent students have accumulated.
In the circle, Lu Chen had the reputation of "Gold Touch" and "New Star Making Machine". If Beijing Film could establish a long-term good cooperative relationship with this young man who had the ability to call the wind and summon the rain in the entertainment circle, there would be many benefits and no harm!
While talking, the last student walked to the middle of the stage and bowed slightly awkwardly. "Hello, teachers, I am Jiang Yangxu, a student of the Performance Department at the 15th level. Please give me your advice."
"Well …"
Fang Hui, who was already a little tired, nodded. She casually flipped through the script in her hand and then said, "Turn to the tenth page of the script and act out the dialogue in it. I will give you one minute to prepare."
Because there were too many people, the time left for each student to interview was very short, but they all got a short script in advance, so the preparation time was actually very sufficient.
"Okay."
Jiang Yangxu replied respectfully. He took a deep breath and flipped through the script in his hands as fast as he could.
It was as if he had opened his own book of fate!
