Accidental Mark

【Accidental Mark · Chapter 25】

Cheng Xia was the last actor to participate in the audition today. After he left the house, the staff at the audition scene began to pack their things. The whole day of audition made everyone physically and mentally exhausted. Pei Shaoze offered to propose: "Everyone has worked hard, I will treat you tonight. Let's have a meal together."

Zhang Fan had already booked a nearby restaurant, and Pei Shaoze called all the cast and crew over, and ate and chatted behind closed doors.

Cheng Xia was allowed to play the role of Qin Nian, and everyone had no objections. After all, Cheng Xia's performance was indeed remarkable. The author, Mr. Pei and the director all liked him very much.As for the other roles, Pei Shaoze asked: "The protagonist, Lu Fengyang, who do you think is more suitable?" He looked at the author Lemongrass: "Does Teacher Lemongrass have any favorite actors?"

Lemongrass recalled it carefully, and shook her head with a smile: "To be honest, there are a lot of Alphas who auditioned this morning, and each one is more handsome than the other, but I am not particularly impressed."

The same is true for Liu Xueyi. He took out his notebook and glanced at it, and said with a bitter face: "I rated every actor, and the Alpha in the morning show was even messier than the afternoon show. Lu Fengyang's character design is a bit ruffian Angry, as a result, most people played Lu Fengyang into a third-rate punk!"

Pei Shaoze thought to himself, Cheng Xia must have no problem playing the leading role, but who will act with him?If the role of Lu Fengyang is not chosen well, it will be embarrassing for the two to perform without tacit cooperation.Pei Shaoze didn't particularly like Alpha in the morning show either. Ye Mingqian and Cheng Xia in the afternoon show impressed him the most from the people who auditioned yesterday.

Ye Mingqian's acting skills are really good, but his appearance, being a cool and handsome Alpha is too inconsistent.Pei Shaoze thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "If it doesn't work, find someone from outside. I have watched a lot of school dramas recently, Director Liu, what do you think of the starring role of Alpha in the drama "The Classmate Next Door" you filmed the year before last?" ?”

Liu Xueyi was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Mr. Pei to have watched the little drama he filmed two years ago.He recalled it, and asked tentatively: "Pei always said, Shen Kai?" Seeing Pei Shaoze nodding, Liu Xueyi immediately frowned in confusion: "Shen Kai was still a little transparent when we were filming dramas, and his acting skills are really good." Not bad, but this person is more Buddhist, and he hasn't produced any works for more than a year."

Everyone obviously didn't expect Mr. Pei to pay attention to this kind of [-]-line small transparency.In fact, the reason why Pei Shaoze watched so many school dramas like looking for a needle in a haystack was to find a suitable person to play with Cheng Xia.

Pei Shaoze said: "Shen Kai has worked with you before, and if we cooperate again, we will have a tacit understanding. Cheng Xia is a newcomer, if the protagonist with Cheng Xia's most scenes also finds an inexperienced newcomer, the filming is often NG, it may delay the production team. schedule."

Liu Xueyi quickly understood: "Boss Pei means that for the role of Lu Fengyang, choose an Alpha actor who has a tacit understanding with me who has worked with me before, and let him lead Cheng Xia, so that the internal run-in of the crew will be smoother?"

Pei Shaoze nodded: "What does Director Liu think?"

Liu Xueyi thought about it carefully and felt that this method was feasible.

In a drama, the two protagonists with the most roles are both newcomers with no experience in cooperation, so the risk is too great.One of them has worked with the director and has a certain tacit understanding, and the other is a newcomer, so Director Liu's filming of the drama will be much smoother.Shen Kai is now a little transparent, not expensive, and has good acting skills. After thinking about it carefully, it is really the most suitable.

Liu Xueyi simply made a decision: "No problem, I'll contact Shen Kai later. This guy just happens to be idle recently, and he has a drama to shoot. For him, it's probably a piece of cake from the sky."

Pei Shaoze said "Yes", and then said: "How about Ye Mingqian's arrangement? How about letting him play the Omega school girl as a guest? Although it is a supporting role, the second male role is also important."

Lemongrass thought of Ye Mingqian's beauty, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "Mr. Pei is referring to Xu Fei in "Folding Paper"? He has a gentle personality and likes to smile. He is the dream lover of many Alphas in the school. You confessed to Qin Nian, and after knowing that Qin Nian is an Omega, the two became best friends?"

Pei Shaoze said: "That's right, let Ye Mingqian play this role, the effect of the rivalry with Cheng Xia should be good."

The more Liu Xueyi listened, the more excited he became: "There are two Omega, one is beautiful and the other is handsome. The beautiful Omega confesses to the handsome Omega. This shot is absolutely explosive! I think Alpha can stand aside, Cheng Xia and Ye Mingqian stand together, That picture is so eye-catching, and when this show is filmed, maybe someone will stand as the CP of Cheng Xia and Ye Mingqian, haha." He excitedly wrote a note in the notebook, and suddenly paused his fingers, "However, Ye Mingqian is quite popular , would he be willing to play the male supporting role?"

Pei Shaoze: "I'll talk to his agent personally."

With Mr. Pei's words, Liu Xueyi immediately felt relieved.

Pei Shaoze in front of him gave people a particularly reliable feeling. He said that he would let Chen Yijun write the theme song, and Liu Xueyi believed it without any doubt.He said that he wanted to talk to Ye Mingqian's manager, and Liu Xueyi felt that this matter must be settled.

Liu Xueyi asked casually: "What do you think of the other supporting roles, Mr. Pei?"

Pei Shaoze said: "Zhang Xiaoheng, who is a childhood sweetheart with Qin Nian, is responsible for the comedy in the whole drama. You can let Qi Xiaofei, who debuted as a child star in Tianxuan, try. He has a baby face, so he should be able to do funny scenes. The role of sister Qin Yue, Liu What do you think of Xue Ling?"

Liu Xueyi nodded immediately: "I also like Xue Ling, a girl with a cold temperament, which fits my sister's personality very well."

There is still one Lu Fengyang's best friend missing, Pei Shaoze said: "Among the Alphas who auditioned this morning, Zhou Jiawen performed well. He has filmed many online dramas and has rich experience. At least he will not lose the chain."

Pei Shaoze's words just touched Director Liu's heart, and Liu Xueyi couldn't help feeling: "Mr. Pei, have you really never been a producer before? I think your vision of people has the level of a professional director."

Pei Shaoze said calmly: "These are my personal thoughts, I only give reference opinions, and Director Liu will decide the details."

Liu Xueyi slapped his thigh, and said bluntly: "Boss Pei is quick to do things, and I don't have any ink marks anymore. Let's decide on the six important roles first. I will contact Shen Kai when I get back, and I will make a publicity announcement after I get him done."

Pei Shaoze nodded and looked at Lemongrass with a friendly attitude: "Mr. Author, would you like to participate in the adaptation of the script? After all, Qin Nian and Lu Fengyang are the characters you created yourself. If you can participate in the check, we will be very welcome. "

Lemongrass clenched her fingers under the table and said softly, "But I don't have experience as a screenwriter."

Xu Moran said sincerely: "It's okay, I'm here, we can work together!"

Pei Shaoze promised: "Your name will be added to the screenwriter's signature, and the experienced teacher Xu will also help you with details. You can control the overall plot direction and try not to let the plot go astray. How about it, think about it?"

Lemongrass immediately agreed: "Okay!" She smiled, looked at Pei Shaoze, her eyes were full of sincerity, "Mr. Pei, to be honest, when Tianxuan asked me to come over for the audition, I didn't expect you to treat me like this." The attitude of this drama will be so serious. Seeing Cheng Xia's performance today, I think he is like Qin Nian who came out of the book. I am willing to participate in the adaptation personally, and hope that everyone can work together to make this drama a good one. Thank you Pei Always give me the chance."

Pei Shaoze stretched out his hand gracefully: "You are being polite, I should say, thank you for creating such a lovely character like Qin Nian, and for giving Cheng Xia the opportunity to act him personally."

The important protagonists and supporting roles are determined in one meal, and each actor fits perfectly with the image of the characters. Pei Shaoze's vision, efficiency and decisiveness as a producer made everyone secretly amazed.

The next day, Liu Xueyi contacted Shen Kai, who had worked with him before, and Shen Kai, who was hit by the pie in the sky, excitedly sent a row of hugging emojis: "Director Liu, you actually remember me, I'm so fucking touched!"

Liu Xueyi thought silently, I almost forgot about you, you should thank Mr. Pei for his insight.

On Ye Mingqian's side, the manager was initially reluctant to let him play the leading role, but Pei Shaoze calmly said that if the leading role in an idol drama is done well, the fans won't be less than the male lead. Besides, the character design of this character is very good. There are also many rival scenes with the protagonist, and two good-looking Omega stand together, there is definitely enough topicality.

In addition, the salary he offered for the second male lead was not low, so the agent agreed after careful consideration.

February 2th is the Spring Festival, and Pei Shaoze got the six leading actors Hui Tianxuan to sign the contract before the Spring Festival.Make a decision in advance to avoid any accidents after the festival.

Zhou Yan was so happy that she wanted to go downstairs for a run - all the four artists she brought were selected!

Cheng Xia chose Qin Nian as the protagonist, Qi Xiaofei played Qin Nian's youngest child, Xue Ling played Qin Nian's younger sister, and Zhou Jiawen played Lu Fengyang's youngest child. These are all important supporting roles in the play.

You know, many newcomers in the entertainment industry played maidservants, bodyguards and passers-by at the beginning. They didn't even have a line.

Taking this out is an experience, and acting skills and experience also need to be accumulated slowly.

The newcomers were very happy, and the three of them congratulated Cheng Xia one after another, and followed their agent to sign the contract.

Cheng Xia saw Ye Mingqian in President Pei's office.

Ye Mingqian was wearing a nice white coat, Cheng Xia smiled at him, and Ye Mingqian returned a gentle smile.

Manager Ye Ping was a little upset. After all, the protagonist was snatched away by this rookie named Cheng Xia. She couldn't figure it out. Ye Mingqian was much better than this rookie, no matter his fame or acting skills?Why did you choose Cheng Xia in the end?

Ye Mingqian himself didn't mind the role being robbed, so he extended his hand generously: "Cheng Xia, happy cooperation."

Cheng Xia also shook hands with him, and said with a smile, "Take care of me."

Ye Mingqian turned and left, Zhou Yan brought the four newcomers into the house to sign the contract.The salaries of newcomers are not high, starting at [-] yuan, which is incomparable to the first-line stars with tens of millions of salaries, but it is already a huge sum of money for college students like them.

The newcomers happily signed the contract, and Pei Shaoze warned: "The Spring Festival will be in two days. You can go home to celebrate the New Year, adjust your status, and choose a date to start the machine after the Spring Festival. The agent will notify you of the specific time."

The four of them thanked President Pei one after another.

After signing the contract, Zhou Yan led them to turn around and go out. Pei Shaoze suddenly said, "Cheng Xia, you stay."
