That day, he came to the company leisurely and bumped into his agent, Wang Qi, who had just come out of the CEO's office.
Wang Qi was about the same age as him. The two of them were the best friends both at work and in life. They had a very good relationship.
Seeing Wang Qi's surprised look, Lu Yi laughed and said, "Old Wang, did Boss Li feed you bee poop to make you so happy?"
If it were any other day, Wang Qi would definitely retort.
But today, Wang Qi didn't do that. Instead, he looked at Lu Yi with interest.
Lu Yi was a little scared by his stare. He frowned and said, "Old Wang, what are you looking at? I haven't seen you for two days and you don't recognize me anymore. "
Unexpectedly, Wang Qi nodded and said, "I really don't recognize you. I just don't understand. With your appearance and temperament, how could someone like you be valued? "
Lu Yi finally understood that a director had asked him to act in a movie. So he asked proudly, "Which director has such good taste to ask me to act in a movie? Not to mention anything else, I can guarantee that he is a good director with his sharp eyes. "
Wang Qi smiled and said, "He is indeed a very good director. All the actors who walked out of his movies are very popular."
Lu Yi asked suspiciously, "Who are you talking about? That's so awesome. "
Wang Qi deliberately said in an indifferent tone, "Only Director Xiao Yunhai would like someone like you."
"Oh, it's him." Lu Yi finished Wang Qi's words and was suddenly stunned. He said, "I didn't hear you clearly. Who are you talking about?"
Wang Qi suppressed the laughter in his heart and said, "No one. It's just that Xiao Yunhai's agent called and asked you to go for an audition. It's nothing. "
Lu Yi's eyes widened. He had a look of disbelief on his face and asked word by word, "Yun Huang asked me to act in a movie? Old Wang, are you kidding me? "
Wang Qi laughed loudly and said, "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. It's true. This morning, Director Li received a call from Yun Huang's manager, Miss Mo. She wants you to go to Beijing and audition for the role of the villain, Brother Dao, in Yun Huang's new drama, 'Crazy Stone'. Old Lu, you're not far from the day of true prosperity. "
Even with Lu Yi's mental fortitude, he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this news.
Who was Yun Huang?
He was the only international director of Hua Xia who had won an Oscar. He had the power and influence of Hua Xia's number one person in the entertainment industry.
Such a director actually invited him to an audition. It was like a pie falling from the sky and hitting him right on the head.
After a long time, Lu Yi suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and asked, "Old Wang, when are we going to Beijing?"
Wang Qi smiled and said, "Of course, the faster the better. Old Lu, this may be a turning point in your life. No matter what, you must seize it. "
Lu Yi clenched his fist and said seriously, "I will."
There were many actors like Lu Yi.
Because Xiao Yunhai wanted to make a drama that was close to reality, the actors in it had to be very grassroots. That was why Lu Yi and the others had such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Just like 'Crazy Stone' in his previous life, a drama had brought up several A-list big shots. It could be said that it was a star-making machine.
Lu Yi and Wang Qi went to Beijing that afternoon. They went to Quanjude to have a good meal and found a good hotel to stay in that night.
The next day, they arrived at Hanhai Film Investment Company early and were led to a big conference room by the staff.
At that moment, there were many actors sitting inside.
Lu Yi didn't know any of them. The only thing he was sure of was that they were not stars in the circle.
They weren't too reserved and didn't treat anyone as an enemy. After a simple self-introduction, they started chatting.
After a while, many people came to the conference room and joined in the conversation.
At nine o 'clock in the morning, Xiao Yunhai walked in on time. Seeing that everyone was chatting in full swing, he couldn't help but smile and say, "It seems to be very lively here."
Lu Yi and the others quickly stood up and greeted Xiao Yunhai.
Xiao Yunhai sat in the main seat and gestured for everyone to sit down. Then, he said, "I'm very happy that you all came to Hanhai to audition for my two dramas, 'Crazy Stone' and 'Crazy Race'. To be honest, you are not very famous in the circle. At least, I haven't heard of you. The reason why I know about you is because Director Wu Zixu, Teacher Wang Guoan, Teacher Ge Wuyou, and Teacher Sun Yanjun recommended you to me according to the roles in the drama. There are many candidates for each role. You guys were chosen again after I watched everyone's previous films and TV series. "
"I can guarantee that no matter what role you play, you will leave a deep impression on the fans. I don't dare to say that you will become famous, but at the very least, your salary will increase significantly. Of course, although your image is better than the others, whether or not you can get the role depends on your ability. "
Everyone's hearts tightened when they heard this.
They knew how important this opportunity was. They all looked serious and didn't dare to relax.
Xiao Yunhai stood up and said, "Alright, that's all I have to say. In a while, the staff will give you a part of the script. Take a good look. The audition will start at ten o 'clock sharp. "
With that, Xiao Yunhai left.
A few staff members called out names and handed the scripts to everyone.
Lu Yi's script was obviously thicker than the others. This made Liu Xun, who was auditioning with four glasses, very envious. He nudged Lu Yi and pouted at his script. "Brother Lu, is your role the male lead?"
Lu Yi shook his head and said, "No, I'm auditioning for the antagonist role."
Liu Xun said, "That's also a very important antagonist role. Looking at your script, it's thicker than ours. "
Lu Yi said, "No matter what role it is, it has to pass Mr. Xiao first. Otherwise, it's all over. "
Liu Xun nodded and quickly looked at the script.
The originally noisy conference room became quiet, with only the occasional sound of pages being flipped.
After leaving the meeting room, Xiao Yunhai went to his father-in-law, Zhao Mingsheng's office.
Zhao Mingsheng was on the phone, discussing the movie's funding with someone. When he saw Xiao Yunhai come in, he pointed at the cup and tea leaves and asked him to make tea.
Xiao Yunhai didn't stand on ceremony with his father-in-law. After making tea, Zhao Mingsheng finished his call.
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Dad, who are you working with for the movie?"
Zhao Mingsheng said, "Li Dongfang from Dongfang Entertainment Company. This guy has established a partnership with a Hollywood company called Khuda Pictures. He invited me to invest in a Hollywood blockbuster. "
Xiao Yunhai asked, "What do you think?"
Zhao Mingsheng smiled and said, "Although he praised the movie, it's useless no matter how well he says. I won't be stupid enough to invest the money without doing some research. By the way, how's your casting going? "
Xiao Yunhai said, "I'm reading the script. I'll go for the audition later. If it's suitable, we'll settle on it. If it's not, we'll find someone else. "
Zhao Mingsheng smiled and said, "To be honest, sometimes I really envy you and Wan Qing. You do what you like and don't have to worry about any external pressure. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Dad, don't say that. When I first entered the industry, I was also bullied both openly and covertly. If I didn't have some skills, I would've quit my job long ago. The reason why I've been buying movie theaters and investing in some companies in the past few years is so that I can do whatever I want with Wan Qing without any restrictions. "
Zhao Mingsheng nodded and said, "It's Wan Qing's fortune to be able to marry you. By the way, how's the new Hua Xia Movie Theater you invested in? When will it open? "
