I really can't stand him crying [entertainment circle]

Back in the village in the city, the two sorted out the things in the backpack and suitcase, divided them into several parts, and brought them to Brother Cheng and the others in the film and television city tomorrow.

After a short break, Zong Ji and Liu Wang got busy again. During this period, Zong Ji participated in an audition. He felt good about himself, but he didn't pass.

Probably there are others who perform better than themselves.

There was some unhappiness, but Zong Ji quickly adjusted his mood.

There wasn't much audition news that could be found, and the crew usually found the agency directly, and there was no chance of being seen by Zong Ji at all.

Director Xu asked someone about the news of Zong Ji's failure in the audition, and gave Zong Ji a sigh of relief after getting the answer.

"It's not your reason. The role has already been decided by default, and the audition is just for hype." Director Xu disdains the other party's methods, but he can understand that things often happen in the circle.

Actors and managers are not blind, they can tell whether a script is good or not, and of course thousands of people compete for a good script and a good role.

If you want him to say that Zong Ji is best to sign with a brokerage company, a reliable broker can save a lot of trouble.

"Don't worry, just wait." Director Xu believes that when Blooming is released, based on Zong Ji's performance, there will definitely be a brokerage company that will take the initiative to find him.

After thinking about it, he opened the address book.

"Hey, Lao Fang, are you still on vacation? Do you have any shooting plans recently?" Director Xu laughed twice when he heard the other party's answer, "How could you be short of a script? I don't know about our relationship. Are you telling the truth or lying?"

"It's almost here, and there is still about a month left. How is your actor search? If you don't find one, I will recommend you one? You don't know my vision? When have I ever been unreliable? Okay, okay , then you remember to message me back."

Director Xu has been making movies for more than 20 years, and he still has some skills, otherwise Mr. Zhou would not let him take charge of his daughter's movie.Most of the directors in the circle can talk to him, but he has been lonely in recent years, and he is a little embarrassed to contact those old friends.

Now for Zong Ji, he has given up this old face.

Aunt Sun in the village took advantage of her free time to dig out the bookkeeping books at that time, and gave priority to those families with poorer conditions and more money.

Cash is easy to get through, so she asked first, and if they were willing to accept it, they would transfer the money directly.

For 5 yuan, Aunt Sun went to all the families who had collected the money, and there were more than 2 yuan left. The remaining families were the ones who had received the most favor from Grandma Zong, and they would not accept anything.

"Later, the aunt will transfer the remaining money to you. You should save it and don't spend it recklessly. There will be more places to spend money when you marry a daughter-in-law in the future."

Zong Ji smiled helplessly, how old he is, Aunt Sun thought of marrying a wife.

"Auntie, take the money. Later, you can help me go to the village office and ask how much it will cost to install street lights on the roads and under the banyan trees in our village. If possible, the money will be used to install street lights. Bar."

"More than 2 street lamps are not enough." The village has said about the installation of street lamps before. There are more than 200 lamps per lamp, and at least [-] lamps are needed to fill the road in the village, which is not counted as labor.

"If you don't have enough money, let it go. I'll pretend to be when I earn enough." Zong Ji said so indiscriminately, but Aunt Sun didn't send the money.

But she didn't tell anyone about Zong Ji's plan to pay for street lamps in the village. With so much money, when will she earn it, and she has to save money to marry a wife.

The crews in the film and television city came and went, and Zong Ji played a few small supporting roles with countless roles. He received good news from Director Xu among the fallen golden leaves of the ginkgo trees on both sides of the square.

"Director Fang is different from me. I am good at making literary and artistic films. He is more commercialized and his preferences are different from mine. But what is certain is that the scripts he likes are not bad."

"I don't know exactly what his new play will be. Anyway, it's a Republic of China drama. You go and audition first, and we'll see if you succeed."

Director Xu didn't finish his speech. After all, Zong Ji has acted in too few movies. Seriously, this is the one he has in his hands. There is still a way to go.

The first time he was born and the second time he was acquainted, Zong Ji walked into the office building of the film and television city with ease. The audition location arranged by Director Fang was on the [-]th floor. Everything has a way.

The other actors came with people who looked like agents or assistants, only Zong Ji, except that he had a better face, dressed in ordinary clothes, stood there by himself like a staff member.

"Water spilled, you call someone to deal with it."

Zong Ji turned his head in astonishment, and the man in the floral shirt was pointing at him. Someone really regarded him as a staff member?

On the ground on his left, tea mixed with chrysanthemums and wolfberries was scattered all over the floor, which really affected the traffic, so Zong Ji turned around and called the cleaning aunt.

It turned out to be a staff member, and the only two people who suspected that he was here to audition were also dismissed.

Based on the relationship between Director Xu and Director Fang, they didn't know the content of today's audition, and the others didn't know much, so the atmosphere in the room was a little dignified.

Zong Ji watched a lot of movies during this period. After all, he can't waste his membership. He saw a few familiar faces among the people who came.

Even they all came to audition. Realizing the intensity of the competition, Zong Ji was both nervous and excited.

Although the competition is a bit bigger, it also shows the importance of the role, doesn't it?

Director Fang's last film was three years ago, which means that the film he is planning to start shooting may have been in preparation for three years or even longer.

A film that allows a commercial director to settle down and prepare for so long——

They should definitely get this role!

The scene seemed to be ignited with gunpowder, and Zong Ji watched those hostile eyes and silently moved aside to avoid being affected by the flames of war.

"Jiang Shenxing—"

The actor whose name was called stood up. Zong Ji had seen his play, and it was not bad.

When the audition was in full bloom, the actors came out wherever they entered, but now, the next person’s name was called, and Jiang Shenxing’s figure did not appear, and then Zong Ji saw the person who had accompanied Jiang Shenxing leave the room .

Jiang Shenxing had already left through other exits.

There were six actors participating in the audition plus Zong Ji. When it was Zong Ji's turn, there were two other actors on the scene whose names had not been called.

"Isn't he a staff member?" The floral shirt pointed at Zong Ji with a look of surprise.

"I never said I was." Zong Ji glanced back at him, and then followed the staff leading the audition.

Knowing that he had made an own mistake, the flowered shirt turned his head to avoid the staring eyes.It's not that he admits his mistake alone, who told him not to explain just now.

After passing through several corridors, Zong Ji finally arrived at the audition place. No wonder those people didn't come back after the audition.

There were fewer people in the room than he had imagined, and fewer than any audition he'd ever been in.There were only two people inside, one of whom Zong Ji knew was Dao Fang, and the other was a middle-aged man wearing glasses whom he had never seen before.

"I shouldn't need to introduce myself, this is screenwriter Shi."

Director Fang shoots commercial films, and the leading actors of commercial films generally don't choose newcomers, because they don't have a fan base and can't bring intuitive traffic to the film, and naturally they can't get Zong Ji.

Those who can be the protagonists in Director Fang's movies are basically the first-line, and the rest who can show their faces but have little impact on the plot must be reserved for investors. In the end, there are not as many starring roles, but the roles that are very important to the plot need to be picked. An excellent actor with good acting skills who can carry the show.

In the end, this kind of actor is generally decided by Director Fang and the screenwriter, which is also the practice of Director Fang's film casting.

To be able to come to the audition today, the basic requirement is to pass the acting skills.Even Zong Ji, who has no works, has acted in Director Xu's Blooming Blossom, and was personally recommended by him.

First of all, there is no problem with Zong Ji's appearance, and the next step is acting.

"The content of the audition is in the box over there, you go and draw three, and then tell us the number behind it."

Without even an assistant, Director Fang seems to be going the secret route this time.

Zong Ji went to the box and took out the audition content, folded it into palm-sized pieces of paper, and wrote 3, 9, and 11 on the back.

"Get ready and start when you're ready."

Zong Ji sat down with the piece of paper, unfolded it and read the words on it carefully.

Scene [-]: A street with people coming and going, a stall selling scones, and there is a piece of paper hidden in the scones you eat, with very important content on it.

Line: Give me half a scone.Why don't you sell half a piece?The noodles are divided into small and large portions, and your cakes are all the same size, so I can't eat a piece, so I have to buy half a piece.Wouldn't it be enough to sell me earlier? I have to talk so much.

Scene [-]: At night, in a karaoke hall, you kill someone in the bathroom, and you have to go out through the main hall through the main entrance.

Words: None.

Scene [-]: Alley, you have gunshot wounds on your calf, abdomen, and shoulder blade.

Line: You go first, Wanwan will be handed over to you, if it succeeds, remember to burn some paper for me at the intersection... Hurry up!

Zong Ji let out a soft breath and sprayed it on the paper.The content of the audition is very brief, but the simpler it is, the more it will test an actor's ability to analyze and express.

And besides him, there was no other actor on the scene, and everything had to be imagined out of thin air.

It's hard, very hard.

Director Fang and the screenwriter chatted a few words in a low voice, because the room was too quiet, Zong Ji could hear it clearly.

"He doesn't seem to be very lucky. The three most difficult ones are all in his hands."

"I'm looking forward to it."

Zong Ji is also looking forward to it, no matter how difficult it is, he will do his best to give it a try.

As the screenwriter said, the three scenes are the most difficult, and it doesn't make much sense who comes first. Zong Ji arranged the order directly according to the lines.

He constructed the scene in his mind. The scones are not easy to digest. He usually eats them in the morning. At the same time, the street in the morning is more in line with the words "people come and go", so besides the scone stand, there should be other breakfasts nearby. stall.

Zong Ji thought of the crews of the Republic of China, the newsboys, the rickshaws, and the little girl selling flowers that he had been in.

If there is a note with important information inside the scone, then he is in contact with the scone boss.He has to appear to be engaging, yet at the same time be careful not to be spotted by others.

The lines are the code words for the connection, whether he will eat the scones, how he should eat them, whether it is strange or not destroying the note...
