Chapter 5

"Xu Qingmiao."

Xu Qingmiao, who was packing up her things, heard someone calling her, turned around, and immediately froze, "Director Mu?"

Xu Qingmiao was quite puzzled, how could this person suddenly appear here, and even took the initiative to talk to him.

"I just watched your play rehearsal, and you did a great job." Mu Feng's eyes rested on Xu Qingmiao's face, and he suddenly remembered that this was not the first time he saw Xu Qingmiao, but now he and the little boy in his memory Very different, although he has a good memory, he can't overlap the two.

Xu Ting had acted in a movie directed by Mu Feng before. At that time, Xu Qingmiao, who was not yet ten years old, came to visit the set. Xu Ting asked him to call someone, so he hid behind Xu Ting and whispered Uncle Mu Feng. In fact, Mu Feng at that time And only in his early 20s.

"Thank you, Director Mu." To be praised by Mu Feng, to be honest, he was quite happy in his heart, because Mu Feng's requirements for actors' acting skills were notoriously strict.

From his body's memory, he also recalled the scene when Xu Qingmiao met Mu Feng when he was a child. At that time, Xu Qingmiao not only looked like a beautiful little girl, but also had a very shy and timid personality. The two famous actors Xun couldn't lift their heads up, and they were very afraid of him.

"You don't have to be so polite, I remember you used to call me uncle." Mu Feng had a smile on his lips, he rarely joked with people, but now he couldn't help but want to take advantage of him.

"Thank you, Uncle Mu." Xu Qingmiao didn't mind being taken advantage of by him in terms of seniority. Besides, according to seniority, he and Xu Ting belonged to the same generation, and he was more than ten years older than him now. It's okay to call him uncle, and Mu Feng has quite thick thighs, if he can hug him, he can save him a lot of trouble in the future.

Mu Feng was only smiling slightly at first, but he really laughed when he was called uncle. He took out a business card, wrote the address and date on it, and handed it to Xu Qingmiao, "The film I am preparing now, and A few supporting roles are not in place, if you are interested, you can audition at the date and address above."

Xu Qingmiao was stunned holding the business card. It was not a secret that Mu Feng came to country A to shoot a movie. He also knew some related news from the news and the Internet. If he remembered correctly, the movie he was going to shoot this time It's a Western fantasy blockbuster, are there any characters in it that are suitable for me to play?

Back at the place where she lived, Xu Qingmiao immediately searched the Internet for related content about this movie. This movie was adapted from a western mythology and called "Legend of the Holy Land".

This movie was funded by the Mu Group, and was co-produced by Huaguang Film and Television, a subsidiary of the Mu Group, and the Tiston Film Company of country A.

Xu Qingmiao logged on to the official website, and seeing the confirmed cast, she couldn't help but want to blow the whistle. The Mu Group is really bold. This time, it has invited many international celebrities, and it is led by Mu Feng and the internationally renowned director Phil Lie, co-director.

Mu Feng is not only very famous in China, but also an internationally renowned director. He also has another identity, that is, Mu Erye, the younger brother of the chairman of the Mu Group.Others made movies more or less because of fame and fortune, but Mu Feng made movies purely to satisfy his personal hobbies.For the sake of fame, he doesn't care about it. For profit, as one of the shareholders of Mu's Group, Erye Mu has never been short of money.But although he is not short of money, every movie he makes has made a lot of money, and he is really popular.

When he was still Chu Ming, he admired Mu Feng very much in his heart. He often analyzed the films he made and felt that he was a very talented director. Sometimes he would also think that if the scripts he created were directed by Mu Feng If Feng came to shoot, maybe there would be better results.

He is now starting to write the script that he deleted, because he has to completely change the style he has formed before, including changing idioms and words. This process is somewhat difficult, but he must not be in the script After it came out, it was said that it imitated Zhang Yanlin's style. Although he wrote the scripts bearing Zhang Yanlin's name, others didn't know it.

After his script is re-finished, he hopes to have the opportunity to cooperate with Mu Feng, but before that, he must prove to more people that he has acting skills and is good enough.

A few days later, Xu Qingmiao went to the audition according to the date on the business card. The audition location was in a hotel in the city center. He was taken to the fifteenth floor by the receptionist in the hotel lobby. Individuals sat and waited.

Several of the staff standing next to him were from Huaxia. After Xu Qingmiao explained his intentions to them, those people looked at him in surprise, but didn't say much, and took a piece of paper with lines written on it to him. he.

Before Xu Qingmiao came here, he already knew about the role he was going to audition for. This role was called Rudy, and he was an absolute tragic character.

As for why Mu Feng asked him to audition, he was quite puzzled at first, because it was a movie adapted from a western myth after all, and wouldn't it be strange for him to appear in the movie with an oriental face?Just like Chinese martial arts dramas, it would be very weird if a westerner with blond hair, blue eyes and high nose suddenly appeared, wouldn't it?

But since Mu Feng asked him to come, there must be his reasons. He felt that it might have something to do with the stage play he rehearsed that day. If he could really pass the audition, it would be a good opportunity for him.

When Xu Qingmiao was reading the lines, a blond young man sitting on the sofa opposite him, after seeing him, whispered a few words to the brunette young man next to him. The brunette young man looked up at Xu Qingmiao, with Full of disdain, he also let out a sarcastic laugh.

Xu Qingmiao was only two or three meters away from the person opposite, so it was hard not to notice their movement, but he just looked up, not paying attention to them at all.

He knew that blond young man, named Jason, he was a classmate in the acting class, and he had acted in supporting roles in several movies, so he was quite well-known.In class, Mr. Franklin always praised Xu Qingmiao, so Jason didn't like him very much, and his attitude was also very bad.

Under such circumstances, Xu Qingmiao had no intention of paying attention to their provocation.But he ignored others, but he couldn't stop someone from intentionally provoking him.

"Hey, I said, you seem to be in the wrong place, please leave." The brown-haired young man walked in front of Xu Qingmiao with an arrogant attitude.

"Whether I went to the wrong place has something to do with you? Are you a staff member here?" Xu Qingmiao put aside the lines he had memorized, looked at the other party and asked back.

"Look at the other people around you, you should know that you are here to humiliate yourself."

In the entire waiting room, except for the staff standing next to him, only Xu Qingmiao had an oriental face in the audition, so the meaning of the other party's words was very clear.

"Did I come here to take the humiliation? You are not qualified to judge." Xu Qingmiao said expressionlessly.

"I'm not qualified? Then who do you think is qualified?" The brunette youth asked deliberately with a mocking face.

Xu Qingmiao didn't bother to talk to him. If he continued to argue with the other party at this time, even if it wasn't him who took the initiative to pick things up, he might not be able to continue to participate in the audition.

Xu Qingmiao's ignoring attitude angered the brown-haired young man instead, he reached out to grab Xu Qingmiao's collar, Xu Qingmiao quickly got up and dodged to the side, stretched out his foot to hook his feet quickly and forcefully, and he immediately fell on the sofa, He still hadn't reacted to what was going on.

The brown-haired young man became annoyed because he made a fool of himself in public. He immediately got up and punched Xu Qingmiao, but was stopped by several staff members who had already walked over, but failed to touch Xu Qingmiao.

"Sir, please calm down, or we will call security." A staff member said seriously to the brown-haired youth who wanted to continue rushing towards Xu Qingmiao.

At this time, Mu Feng and another director, Ferlie, walked in with a few assistants.

"What are you doing?" Mu Feng asked.

As soon as the staff saw Mu Feng, they immediately walked over and told the whole story in a respectful and objective manner.However, they all only saw the brunette youth making trouble for Xu Qingmiao, and did not see Xu Qingmiao tripping the brunette youth.

Mu Feng said to the staff, "Let the security guard drag this person out."

"Yes, Director Mu."

The hotel security soon came in to take the brunette-haired youth away. The brunette-haired youth looked at Mu Feng angrily and said, "Why do you drive me away?"

Mu Feng said, "Just because I am the investor and director of this movie."

When the brown-haired young man was dragged away by the security guards, he even cursed some rather nasty words. Mu Feng remained expressionless, but there was a cold light in his eyes. If anyone present was familiar with him, they would know that this was the case. A sign of bad luck for someone.

Mu Feng glanced at Xu Qingmiao, and walked into the meeting room with Director Ferlie, and the audition officially started.

The audition process is not long, and the content is not complicated. The two directors are busy people. Although they also attach great importance to the selection of supporting roles, they are not willing to waste a little bit more on candidates who are not suitable at first glance. time.

Xu Qingmiao completed the audition with the requirements of the two directors according to his own understanding of the role. He didn't think too much about the result, anyway, he didn't have the right to make the decision.

And the audition mainly depends on whether you fit the image of the role. It really takes a few minutes and a few lines to make the director think that the role must be you. Although it is not impossible, it is really rare. and less.

However, the two directors had a dispute because of disagreement over the role that Xu Qingmiao auditioned for.

"I admit that he performed the best among all the people who auditioned, but he is an oriental man. Although he looks very good, he is an oriental face anyway, and such a face should not appear in us now. In the movie I made. If it’s an urban movie or a comedy movie, or even a sci-fi movie, it’s very common nowadays to have supporting roles with oriental faces, but you have to know that this is an adaptation of a western mythology movie of."

Ferlie did not expect that the biggest disagreement between him and Mu Feng would appear here. He had always thought that Mu Feng was a very professional and principled director, but he did not expect that he would make such a mistake. If he was stubborn , this movie is likely to be ruined because of this. Although this supporting role does not have many roles, it plays a very important role in the entire plot of the movie. After shooting, it cannot be completely subtracted.

"Don't get excited about Ferlie. I think his acting skills can do it well, so that the audience won't notice whether he is an oriental or a westerner. As for the other parts, the makeup artist can do it." Although Mu Feng's tone was affirmative, in fact, he It is not 100% sure whether Xu Qingmiao can really do it, but he is willing to take a gamble, not only because Franklin praised his acting skills, but most importantly, he believes in his own vision.

"Mu, although you are an investor, I have invested a lot of time and effort into this movie, so I don't want it to be destroyed." Ferlie's tone was solemn and sincere.

"I will never let this movie be ruined, please trust me." Mu Feng promised.
