Regardless of the turbulence within Silver Wing, Fang Zhao, who was far away at Teasandsea, had already contacted Shen Wei.
Shen Wei had not calmed down from the moment he had received the assignment until he boarded the flying transport. He had received a call from Duan Qianji.
He had originally thought it would be for one of the few A-list actors in the company. Duan Qianji had not said much, only asking if he could spare some time in the near future. After receiving an affirmative reply, she had made him sign a confidentiality agreement.
Shen Wei's heart trembled when he saw the seriousness. He knew this was a big deal and did not dare be careless. At the same time, he realized this was an opportunity for him. He had kept his mouth shut when he should not have said too much, afraid that he would lose this rare opportunity. After handing over the company's matters, he boarded the flying transport arranged by Duan Qianji and flew straight to Teasandsea.
Only after he had left Yanzhou did Duan Qianji tell him who this trip to Teasandsea was for.
"Who would have thought!"
Shen Wei had lost count of the number of times he had felt this way. That bunch of people in the company had made all sorts of guesses, but they would never have guessed that it would actually be for Fang Zhao, someone who had nothing to do with acting!
Unlike Duan Qianji, who was more concerned about results and profits, Shen Wei, who had started out as an actor, understood how difficult it was to get an audition for this film project. Getting an important role was even more difficult! He really wanted to know why Fang Zhao had gotten this important opportunity. On the way to Teasandsea, he had been conflicted about this.
Many times, actors were passive. They could not choose, only be chosen. What exactly was it that made Roman, the executive director, give Fang Zhao this precious audition opportunity?
Could it be that there was some sort of insider trading?
However, on the first day he had arrived at Teasandsea to guide Fang Zhao, Shen Wei had some understanding.
Analyzing Fang Zhao's personality and looking at the settings of "Fang Zhao" in the script, it could be said to be a natural performance!
It could be said that having no moves was better than having moves!
This could also be considered an advantage. If the personality was too different, the actor was not in the industry, and he did not have strong backing and connections, there would be no way he would get the chance to audition.
However, natural performance did not mean that one would be how one normally acted. One still had to combine the settings of the characters in the film and set out from oneself to create this character.
As for Fang Zhao himself, besides some basic skills that he had to master, he also needed to know how to act well and how to present an effect that could move the audience. This was Shen Wei's job.
To be chosen by Duan Qianji to coach Fang Zhao, Shen Wei definitely had a high standard. He was also the most suitable person to coach Fang Zhao. He knew how to help Fang Zhao understand the things that would definitely be used during the audition in the shortest time possible. As for the rest, he would simplify them and would not have enough time to explain them in detail.
After Shen Wei arrived at Teasandsea, Fang Zhao basically didn't leave his room. The cruise ship was still sailing, and he couldn't return to Teasandsea for the time being. He asked Yan Biao, who had stayed on Teasandsea's main island, to settle the people down, and then contacted Shen Wei through the internet to receive online teaching and guidance.
This time, Fang Zhao rented a seaside villa. Teasandsea had many such buildings for tourists. For the sake of confidentiality and for the convenience of this important performance learning session, Fang Zhao rented a seaside villa.
Meanwhile, on the Internet.
A video caused a heated discussion.
One of the passengers on the cruise ship uploaded a hastily filmed video of him climbing the rock wall when he was posting photos of his trip.
The people of Teasandsea, who prided themselves on being knowledgeable, were shocked. There were too many people reposting the video, and at some point, it became the top news in the Teasandsea region.
The person who had filmed the video had been in too much of a hurry and hadn't captured the first part of the video. He had only captured the scene of the other party climbing the rock wall at high speed. Quite a number of people online, both professional and non-professional, had analyzed the video.
"That speed, it must be fake, right? Was it post-processed? "
"How did he do it?"
"It looks like he did it barehanded, but maybe he had some other hidden equipment?"
"It doesn't feel like it was prepared. Instead, it feels like he just came out from a banquet or something."
"I know, it's definitely a publicity stunt! Let's just sit back and wait for things to develop. I wonder which athlete is going to change careers and enter the entertainment circle. "
"According to some insider news, I heard that a few rather good-looking extreme athletes are planning to change careers."
"It's not them. Yesterday, they were in a mountain range in Muzhou, doing a live broadcast of climbing a snowy mountain."
"Let's not guess. Let's just wait and see. The teams behind them will surely follow up."
"That's true. Let's wait and see things develop."
Then, as a bunch of people waited, the matter continued to develop, develop … and then it was gone.
The rock-climbing incident on the Teasandsea cruise ship was quickly pushed aside by other matters. There was no longer any momentum to bring it up. Just like that, it really went cold!
This made people who thought they had seen through everything dumbfounded.
This isn't right!
Where is the publicity stunt?
Where are the athletes who changed careers?
Where did they go?!
Teasandsea.
Yan Biao was watching videos online while talking to Zuo Yu.
Others might not have recognized him, but as Fang Zhao's bodyguard, Yan Biao could still recognize the back view. He was just a little unsure, so he called Zuo Yu to confirm and at the same time ask him what exactly was going on on the cruise ship.
Zuo Yu had a blank look on his face. "I'm not sure either. After I hung up with my boss, I had a cup of coffee and listened to a song. Then I realized my boss was in the headlines again."
Although it was just a local headline, it was still a headline!
In a moment of carelessness, his boss had appeared on the news.
"… What use do I have you?" Yan Biao felt that Zuo Yu was really incompetent as a bodyguard.
Compared to the focus of attention of the people of Teasandsea, the focus of attention of the people from the other continents was naturally different. Based on all sorts of information, both real and fake, they analyzed whether Director Roman was on this cruise ship or not, and which celebrities had successfully blocked his way.
Every time this happened, the people who received the most scolding were the well-known entertainment reporters from other continents.
Over at Yanzhou, Wang Tie received the most scolding.
Fu Rui looked at the comments online and asked Wang Tie, "Godfather, should we make a move?"
Wang Tie shook his head. "Not enough. Continue to wait and follow."
Wang Tie had been suppressing the news he had shot recently because he felt that now was not a good time to do so.
"Not revealing any news at all? Godfather, haven't you seen the discussions online? Everyone is saying that your throne is in danger! "
"It's just talk. It's not like I'll lose anything. It's better than being thrown into the sea to feed the fishes. Believe it or not, if I were to hand out these now, Fang Zhao wouldn't even need to wait until tomorrow to block our doorstep. "
Fu Rui had wanted to say that at worst, he could just hide and slip away after releasing the news, but when he recalled his previous experience with Fang Zhao, he held back.
"Then we … continue to follow? The news can still be kept up? " Fu Rui was worried that if they received news that Fang Zhao had been eliminated in a few days, then the news they had would be devalued. Even if they released it, they would be mocked for choosing to follow Fang Zhao instead of the big shots. Anyone with a brain wouldn't have chosen this way!
Did Wang Tie have a brain?
Fu Rui didn't dare say. But he still chose to carry out Wang Tie's plan. So be it if he's a moron!
Wang Tie paused for a moment when he brought up this matter. He had actually been mulling over whether his decision to bring a team to Teasandsea had been the right one. But in the end, he had decided to follow his intuition and trust in his keen senses as Yanzhou's top entertainment reporter.
I'm definitely right!
"Continue to follow!" Wang Tie said.
"Yes! Oh, right, Master, where's Xiaobo? I haven't seen him today. How's his progress? "Fu Rui was a little worried that he hadn't been able to contact his little buddy.
"Getting vaccinated. He was bitten by a dog while taking photos," Wang Tie replied.
"What! Whose dog was he bitten by? "
"The one Fang Zhao keeps. It looks like a small puppy."
"… Godfather, you used to say we had to be on guard against Fang Zhao, but you never said we had to be on guard against his dog!"
Wang Tie took the opportunity to exhort Fu Rui. "That's why this line of work is still very dangerous. We have to be on guard at all times. Not just against people, but also against animals. No matter when, no matter what kind of creature we face, we can't be careless!" These little fellas had become arrogant after a few hits. They needed to be taught a lesson.
Regardless of the discussions online, Fang Zhao didn't pay any attention to them. He focused wholeheartedly on this audition. After resolving the incident on the cruise in a low-key manner, he didn't go out for the remainder of the cruise. When the cruise reached its destination, he quietly left with the crowd and received guidance from Shen Wei.
Several days later, on the last day of the deadline Roman had given him.
Fang Zhao arrived at the address Roman had given him. There was a room for the audition.
Before coming, Shen Wei had said to Fang Zhao, "Some things don't mean that you will get them just because you desire them. You also don't mean that you can get rid of them just because you reject them. Do your best, but don't force things. "
Getting a chance to audition was already not bad. For someone like Fang Zhao who wasn't in the industry, getting this kind of experience that many people yearned for but couldn't get was already not easy. He had talent that people envied, and he had been studying very seriously these past few days. He had already done well enough. If he couldn't get the best result, there was no need to be conflicted.
Over the years, Shen Wei had seen too many talented actors. This bunch of youngsters were too prone to misunderstandings. Sometimes, after one setback, they wouldn't be able to recover. As a senior, Shen Wei would still mention what needed to be said to Fang Zhao.
Roman didn't appear. His assistant received Fang Zhao and his entourage and then led Fang Zhao to the audition room. Shen Wei, Zuo Yu, and Yan Biao were waiting in the living room.
Shen Wei was a little disappointed that he hadn't seen Director Roman in person, but he quickly started to worry about Fang Zhao. As an accompaniment, he was even more nervous than the examinees.
There weren't any props in the audition room. It was practically an empty room. Only during the audition would there be some projections to create a scene.
There were three audition scenes, all of which had been chosen by Roman. One was a dialogue scene, one was a martial arts scene, and the last one was specially picked by Roman. It was considered an additional question, and the actors were free to express themselves.
"I'll give you five minutes to prepare for each scene." Roman didn't ask Fang Zhao if five minutes was enough. After he finished speaking, he took a document and sat down at the side. He had been very busy recently. Giving Fang Zhao this audition opportunity was something that he had painstakingly gotten.
According to Roman's plan, each of the three scenes would have five minutes to prepare. Including the acting time, it would definitely be done within half an hour.
Half an hour later.
