Chasing stars is not as good as chasing agents

On Saturday and Sunday, Ji Shi took Gong He and Cai Feiping to meet with two casting directors. The audition went well and the role was basically won.

Coming out of the casting director, Ji Shi exhorted beamingly: "Go back and familiarize yourself with the script, Xiaoping, pay attention to the articulation of the lines, Xiaohe, pay attention to the interaction with the opponent actors when acting, and don't get too immersed in your emotions."

Cai Feiping retorted a little unconvinced: "But don't there be dubbing now?"

Ji Shidao: "If you have dubbing, you can't underestimate your line skills. Many big directors like to use the original voice of actors. Your voice is good. Don't waste it. If you can use your own voice, use your own voice."

Cai Feiping nodded awkwardly.

Ji Shi glanced at the time and said, "I'm going back to make a contract, and you can arrange the time yourself."

After Ji Shi left, Gong He said to Cai Feiping: "Brother Xiao was very kind just now, remind us, what are you doing to him?"

"I didn't rush him, I just talked about the current environment, and in terms of acting, we are professionals, and he is not a film and television professional."

During this period of training in the company, Gong He and Cai Feiping have professional advantages, and the gap with other newcomers gradually widens, thus creating a subtle sense of superiority.

Although Gong He also has a sense of superiority, but not as strong as Cai Feiping, he was silent for a while before he said: "That's right, but I have dealt with so many directors and actors, so I have more experience than us, right?"

Cai Feiping curled his lips, hesitated to speak before saying: "I heard some gossip in the company that Brother Xiao brought a lot of artists before, didn't they all leave? I heard that it was because he was too strict and too much , had a lot of conflicts with artists, and another thing is that he couldn't get any good resources, and those artists all went to find another home."

"Do you think he will use the company's resources to milk outside art—"

Before Cai Feiping could finish his sentence, Gong He pinched him forcefully: "Don't talk nonsense, it's okay for you to say that brother Shi is strict, but you can't say that he is using public affairs for personal gain without evidence."

"But he and the AA people are indeed very close. Look at the last time I went to Lingshan and the takeaway a few days ago. I heard that he was a matchmaker for AA's artists before and introduced a vampire character."

The role of the vampire is a resource that Ji Shi personally inquired about. Giving it to anyone is not considered a violation of the company's regulations, but there will always be some people with malicious intentions who will add fuel to the news after receiving the news, and then spread the news, so that people who don't know the inside story people misunderstand.

"Cai Feiping!" Gong He raised the volume, and reminded a little annoyedly, "Think about our new play carefully, and don't think about it."

Cai Feiping pursed his lips: "Okay."

On the other hand, Ji Shi didn't know that a small flame had ignited in his backyard, and he was still messing around with the contract.

He found that good luck was coming, and he couldn't stop it. He had just finalized the two roles when he received an invitation for a big online movie from Station K.

Station K is a very young video website. In the past few years, it has released several popular online dramas, and its reputation is getting bigger and bigger. Compared with the old video websites Tofu and Zanthoxylum bungeanum, it has a tendency to come from behind.

This time, the big online movie sent by station K is called "Beauty in the Prosperous Age". It is about the Western Regions presenting a concubine to the emperor of Shengjing. At the same time, it is also a witness of the prosperity of the empire and the coming of all nations.The emperor loved this concubine very much, but gradually, strange things happened frequently in the palace. At the same time, visions fell from the sky in the east, barbarians invaded from the south, and the empire fell into turmoil.

Ji Shi read the synopsis of the script, and felt that the story was quite interesting. The most important thing is that Station K is now in the limelight, so it is worth a try. After getting on this boat, are you still worried that there will be no more opportunities for cooperation in the future?

However, what he finds miraculous is that the crew of "Golden Age Beauty" just happened to send him two role offers, and both happened to be male roles.

Ji Shi looked at the email in confusion. He felt a little strange. Did he know that he had two newcomers?

But think about it carefully, how is this possible?Who would understand him, a small artist in the hands of an ordinary manager?

Maybe just a coincidence.

Ji Shi carefully read the biographies of the characters again, this time the characters were the Lotus Demon and the Emperor's Imperial Guard.The lotus demon is conceived from the lotus seeds brought by the foreign concubine from her hometown. This role does not have many roles, only 35 scenes.

One of the biggest scenes is at the end of the movie, the desperate foreign concubine set fire to the palace built for him by the emperor, the lotus demon tried his best to protect the foreign concubine, but the foreign concubine wanted to die and begged the lotus demon to obey her wish.In the end, the lotus demon gave up and watched helplessly as his master was burned to death.

There are more roles in the imperial guards, and basically there are scenes where the emperor appears, and he is there.But Ji Shi felt that the role of the imperial guards was not as brilliant as the lotus demon, especially Gong He and Cai Feiping, who were young, had too delicate facial features, and still had a student-like air about them.

But now that the invitation is in hand, there is no reason to give up.

Ji Shi sent the script to both of them, and asked them which character they were more interested in. Cai Feiping chose the Imperial Guard, and Gong He chose the Lotus Demon.

Ji Shi non-stop took the two of them to audition for "Beauty in a Flourishing Age".

The director of this show is a newcomer director supported by Station K. In fact, newcomers are not pure newcomers. This person has been a director for five or six years. He has followed several major dramas, but he has never had the opportunity to be the lead director.

Some time ago, Station K launched a recruitment plan for new directors and new screenwriters. This new director just happened to meet the opportunity. As for the script of "The Beauty of the Prosperity", it also stood out from the entries. It is said that the script was written by this director. The classmates formed a group and wrote it together. They even took a video when they were in college.

After half an hour of audition, Director Liao called Ji Shi aside, and said bluntly: "The lotus demon is fine, but the imperial guard still lacks some sense."

Sure enough, it was the same as Ji Shi guessed, mainly because the role of imperial guard was not suitable for Cai Feiping, but he still fought for it: "Can you let him go back to practice and try again at that time?"

Director Liao said frankly: "Actually, I prefer an actor from AA to play this role. His image and temperament are more in line with the Imperial Guard."

This was a very clear rejection. Although he was rejected, Ji Shi didn't feel any displeasure.

You must know that Ji Shi talked to some directors and producers before. Those people always have something in their words, and you have to rack your brains to figure out what they mean. So now he is rejected so directly by Director Liao, he thinks Director Liao communicates very well.

Ji Shi wondered if they all came, and they couldn't return empty-handed, especially if two people came, and one was chosen and the other was not, how big a psychological gap would it be?How should he fight for Cai Feiping?

His brain was running fast, and at this moment his eyes fell on the blooming camellia outside the window, and there were two flowers blooming on the branches of the camellia tree.

He suddenly came up with inspiration, so he immediately whispered to the director. After hearing it, Director Liao's eyes lit up: "The idea you said is not bad, but I still have other people's auditions to watch, why don't I wait?" After the audition, can we talk in detail?"

Seeing that Director Liao was interested, Ji Shi couldn't help being happy.

After Director Liao left, Ji Shi went to look for Cai Feiping and Gong He. He didn't find Gong He, but he first found Cai Feiping who was blushing.

Cai Feiping said happily: "Brother Xiao, just now the producer left me a phone number and WeChat, saying that he is very satisfied with my performance and wants to praise me as the leading actor in the next drama."

Ji Shi: "..."

Ji Shi saw Cai Feiping's audition performance just now, and he also saw the squinting expression of the producer next to Director Liao. He planned to remind Gong He and Cai Feiping afterwards, pay attention When I looked at the producer, I didn't expect that the producer would go over him to tease Cai Feiping, and Cai Feiping believed it.

Ji Shi asked, "Did he give you back the room number?"

Cai Feiping found that Ji Shi's tone was a bit wrong, and said anxiously: "Yes, the producer said that the new drama is still in the confidential stage, and not too many people should know, so he left a room number and asked me to talk to him later."

Ji Shi said speechlessly: "Do you think he really invited you to the room to chat about new dramas?"

"Your performance just now, not to mention the male lead, is very daunting even if you want to get the role of imperial guard."

Cai Feiping felt that his self-esteem was hit, bit his lip, and didn't speak.

Seeing him biting his lip, Ji Shi couldn't bear it again, and sighed, "Just tell me what you have, don't be bored, I'm your manager, not a roundworm in your belly, if you don't say anything, I won't know what you're thinking."

Cai Feiping gritted his teeth and said, "Say... maybe..."

Ji Shi raised his eyebrows: "Maybe what?"

Cai Feiping was not afraid of tigers when he was a newborn calf, and said: "Maybe we are talking about characters in new dramas? We are all men, what can he do? Besides, if he really treats me, won't I run away? I am When I was in school, I ran 5000 meters without panting."

Ji Shi: "..." This idea is really straight, many people don't believe in evil before they really encounter something.

Cai Feiping murmured: "I know there are some people like that in the industry, but not everyone is like that. Wouldn't it be a pity to miss the role because of this? And the producer just now brought his girlfriend , so he is heterosexual, right? He can't mess around in front of his girlfriend, right?"

After much deliberation, Cai Feiping finally found a reason that he thought was reasonable, and tried to persuade Ji Shi to seek approval.

Ji Shi resolutely made way sideways, and said, "Then you can go now, anyway, you should remember the room number?"

Cai Feiping: "..."

Cai Feiping's guts were like a balloon. After being poked by Ji Shi a few times, he immediately lost his breath, so he said cowardly: "I'm going to find Xiaohe."

Ji Shi watched Cai Feiping leave, and rubbed his eyebrows tiredly.This Cai Feiping usually talks less than Gong He, but he is ambitious and has many things hidden in his heart. He always feels that his life with Cai Feiping will not be peaceful in the future.

It's okay to be unruly, the most important thing is to be stubborn!

Ji Shi rubbed his heart, feeling a little heart attack from Cai Feiping's anger, just at that moment the cell phone in his pocket rang, took it out and checked, it was indeed Gu Jianchi's call.

Looking at this kind and lovely name, he couldn't help feeling much better.

In comparison, Gu Jianchi is just Little Sweet.

After Ji Shi answered the phone, without waiting for the other side to speak, he said first: "Thank God, I feel much better after seeing your call."

Gu Jianchi heard his rejoicing tone, and asked curiously, "What happened?"

Compared to complaining, Ji Shi cared more about whether Gu Jianchi had something serious to talk about: "Don't talk about me first, did you call to talk about something?"

"Actually, I have nothing to say. I was just busy. I suddenly remembered that you took someone to an audition today, so I wanted to ask about the situation."

When Ji Shi heard this, he became excited, and quickly told what happened just now, and then he said angrily: "Children, if you haven't suffered a disadvantage, you haven't been beaten by the society, so you are easy to be deceived! "

"The producer brought his girlfriend with him, but so what? Maybe he just said, yo, what a coincidence, let's have a 3P!" Ji Shi was probably really impatient, and he had already started talking Choose words.

Gu Jianchi was dumbfounded by Ji Shi's bold and unrestrained language: "Why don't you become a screenwriter?"

In the end, he suggested again: "Actually, you can let him suffer a little bit, and then he will learn to behave. Can you protect them for a while, or for a lifetime? After working more, they will have more entertainment, and they will always see each other." of those scenes."

Ji Shi thought for a while, and said, "Normal entertainment is of course fine, but for this kind of thing... let's forget it. As for the world, we will see each other, and there is no rush at this moment."

"Anyway, whoever dares to be unruly now, I'll blow the dog's head off." Ji Shi said angrily, and as soon as he finished speaking, he heard Gu Jianchi sighing over there.

Gu Jianchi was actually thinking that Ji Shi was usually timid, but he seemed to be courageous again when facing this kind of thing.Of course, there's nothing wrong with that. Are there not many people in this world who think they are shrewd and sophisticated?On the contrary, he likes Ji Shi's simplicity, straightforwardness and loyalty. Anyway, if something happens, he will help, but he believes that Ji Shi will not take the initiative to provoke right and wrong, but when something happens, Ji Shi will not be afraid.

Gu Jianchi took another deep breath, but Ji Shi misunderstood his sigh, and immediately expressed his position: "Don't worry, although you are from AA, but someone takes advantage of you, I will never be late, and I will help you Blast his dog's head!"

Listening to his lively tone, Gu Jianchi knew that he was in a much better mood, and his heart was at ease, then she smiled and said, "You think you are a dog-beater."

Ji Shi chuckled, and suddenly heard a sound behind him. He looked back, and it turned out that it was Cai Feiping who had left and returned.

"Wait." Ji Shi whispered to the person on the phone, then looked at Cai Feiping, "What's wrong?"

Cai Feiping looked at Ji Shi with a strange expression, and after a while he said, "Brother Xiao, I called a car with Xiaohe, do you want to go together?"

Ji Shi thought he was still thinking about what he was being educated just now, so he had a weird expression on his face, so he didn't think much, and said, "You guys go back first, I have to talk to the director later."

Cai Feiping nodded before he could speak, then turned around and ran away quickly. When he ran to a place where Ji Shi could not see him, he kicked the trash can on the side of the road hard.Sure enough, Ji Shi was not clear with AA!Use the company's resources to make deals with outsiders!How could he be so unlucky to have such a manager!

It’s no wonder that Cai Feiping thinks wildly. The broker industry in the circle is indeed chaotic. Many managers will use the resources of artist A to milk artist B, or use their resources to sign outside artists to their own banner.

The more Cai Feiping thought about it, the more he felt unbalanced, but he didn't know what to do...

"Xiaoping! What are you in a daze for? Come quickly." Not far away, Gong He saw Cai Feiping standing by the trash can, and beckoned him.

"Here we come." Cai Feiping felt that Gong He was a little fool compared to him who found out the inside story, so he walked over depressed.

On the other side, Ji Shi was still chatting with Gu Jianchi.

Gu Jianchi asked: "Didn't you accompany the audition to end? What else do you want to talk to the director about?"

Gu Jianchi, the wishing star, is ready to be a good person and follow through to the end.

Ji Shidao: "Help Cai Feiping win other roles. In fact, I chatted with the director just now, and I already have some ideas, but the matter is not yet confirmed, so let's not tell him for now. This kid can't hold back."

When Gu Jianchi heard that he had a child on the left and a child on the right, she smiled and said, "You are only so old, so you have the nerve to call someone else's child."

Ji Shi proudly said, "I've been working for a long time, and I have more experience than them. Watching them is like watching their children."

Gu Jian didn't argue with him for a long time, but instead inquired about the role Ji Shi wanted to fight for, to see if she could be of any help.

"What role do you want to help him get?"

"I'm wondering if the role of the lotus demon can be changed to Bingdilian. Twins are a popular setting, and Bingdilian has a sense of fate, which fits well with the story of a foreign concubine. The director thinks this is a good idea. I will discuss with him and the screenwriter after the audition."

Gu Jianchi was dumbfounded for a while, and finally couldn't laugh or cry: "You are such a genius, you are obviously a manager, but you can persuade the director to change the role."

"Hey." Ji Shi smiled sheepishly, "Actually, the most important thing is that I said two people pack, and the price is discounted. The director thought it was very affordable, so he said he would consider it."

Gu Jianchi: "..."

Ji Shi said worriedly: "However, it's not up to the director alone to decide whether it will be successful. It also depends on the producer's intentions. I think the producer is a bit difficult to deal with."

Gu Jianchi said confidently: "Don't worry about him, I say it can be done."

K station is a company that Gu Jianchi invested outside, so he has the final say on K station, if he says it can be done, it will definitely be done, of course there is no need to tell Ji Shi about this.

Ji Shile said: "Thank you for your good words, actually, I feel that after meeting you, my luck has improved a lot! The director called me, so I'll go there first."

Just as Ji Shi finished speaking, he was about to hang up when he heard a boy's soft voice from the other end of the phone.

"Brother Gu, why do you keep calling when you come out to play?"

Ji Shi's heart skipped a beat, judging from the distance of the voice, this boy is very close to Gu Jianchi.

"Brother Gu, come and play together."

The boy's voice came closer, as if it was coming from the cell phone, the voice was so soft that it numb from the scalp to the soles of the feet.

Even though the scorching sun is now in the sky, Ji Shi feels sour in his heart and a little confused in his mind. He remembered that Gu Jianchi said "I'm busy" just now, so what Gu Jianchi said by "I'm busy" is playing with little boys?
