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

There were five people sitting in the audition room, with the director in the middle, the producer and screenwriter on the left, and the biggest investor of the film crew and a beautiful young girl, Zhou Jiajia, who was also the heroine of the film, on the right.

"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou, it's almost time. Are we ready to start?"

The producer looked over the director to ask the investor for instructions, and the investor looked at the girl next to him.

"Producer Zhao, you don't have to be so polite, just call me Jiajia. I'll listen to Director Xu." The girl's attitude is modest, and she didn't put on a picture of bringing money into the group. She really wanted to make a good movie, otherwise Nor would he go to great lengths to choose a suitable supporting role.

Director Xu finally saw a smile on his face, and it would be best if Zhou Jiajia was willing to cooperate with him in face.

"Let them come in in order."

Zong Ji waited on the seat with a handwritten resume. The ones in front came out quickly after entering, and none of them lasted more than 3 minutes. The expressions on their faces were different, either helpless or angry, which made Zong Ji feel more and more nervous.

"Hey, what's the content of the audition?" Someone stopped the person who had just come out of the room from inquiring about the news, and the person didn't hide anything, and generously told the other party the answer.

"My content is to make my partner cry within 1 minute. Everyone else should be similar."

He was one of the few people who knew some inside information in advance, so he was expected to lose the election, and his mood was not affected by it.

"Make your partner cry within 1 minute?"

Strange audition content is not uncommon, but this kind of request is more common.

"Then can I beat him up?"

Obviously it is not allowed, because the content of the audition has a condition, on the premise of not touching the other party.

This is a bit difficult to handle, maybe it is more effective to sell badly.

Zong Ji was also thinking about how to fulfill the request, but before he could figure it out—"No. 36."

"Thank you." Stepping into the door opened for him by the staff, Zong Ji almost scratched the wrinkle in his handwritten resume.

The light in the room was transparent, and Zong Ji could clearly see the expressions on everyone's faces. Naturally, his every move could not escape the eyes of the five people.

When Zong Ji handed in his resume, he probably had never seen such a simple thing before. The thin A4 paper was passed through the hands of five people, and the girl on the farthest corner of her mouth smiled: "The handwriting is not bad."

"You have 1 minute to prepare, and then as long as you can make me cry with empathy within 1 minute, it will be considered a success."

Zhou Jiajia looked at the boy in front of him. He was thin and dark-skinned, and the lines on his face still left a feeling of innocence between a teenager and a young man. His eyes were clean and easy to be liked, and he had not been fooled by the big dye tank of society. It's a mess.I can't help but look forward to his success. After all, it's not easy to find an actor who fits well with the character image in the script.

The girl had a friendly smile and was only 22 years old. Zong Ji's tension was relieved. He nodded and began to think.

There are many reasons for crying. Happiness, excitement, sadness, fear, and physical pain can all make people cry.Excluding physical pain, the simplest and most empathetic thing is nothing but sadness.

The previous auditionees all adopted this method without exception, but the one who was closest to success only made Zhou Jiajia sigh.

"Can I read the script?"

One minute of preparation time is not much, Zong Ji was the first to ask to read the script.

"Okay, but you only have half a minute."

Zong Ji got the script from the screenwriter, and turned to the first page, on which were simple character relationships and background settings.Zong Ji glanced at it and returned the script: "Which role am I auditioning for?"

"younger brother."

enough.

After the preparation time was over, Zhou Jiajia sat down on the chair next to him.Zong Ji hesitated, his eyes met Zhou Jiajia: "Sister..."

Before the words fell, tears welled up in his eyes.

He whimpered, like a wounded little animal.

Because there was no physical contact, Zong Jixu held Zhou Jiajia's hand hanging by his side, showing that he wanted to touch it but was afraid of touching it: "Sister, I only have you."

The great sadness bent Zong Ji, and he looked at Zhou Jiajia beggingly: "Don't want me."

His eyes were so painful and vulnerable, mixed with the fear of being abandoned.It can be predicted that if his sister really does not want him, then he will always fall into inextricable despair.

Loneliness can destroy a person.

Zhou Jiajia didn't speak, Zong Ji shivered and shrank into a ball: "Sister, what should I do? I can't find you, what should I do..." His voice was almost hoarse at the end. It turned out that the existence of his sister just now was all imagined by him. .

He curled up, with only darkness in front of his eyes, and a crystal tear fell from the corner of Zhou Jiajia's eyes on the chair.

"Brother, don't be afraid, my sister is here, and my sister has found you."

Zong Ji fell into a warm embrace, his body was still twitching, and there was a gentle pat on his back: "It's all right, it's over, Zong Ji, it's over."

The candidates had already been selected, and those who were still waiting outside were told to leave. Sun Gui didn't see Zong Ji at the door, and realized that he had succeeded in the audition, and instantly jumped up happily!

Zong Ji's resume stated that he didn't sign with a brokerage company. As an adult, he has the ability to sign a contract with the crew on his own.The screenwriter gave him the script he had just flipped through, and asked him to take it back and use it first.

Several people chatted for a few more words and exchanged contact information.

Considering that Zong Ji had no experience in filming before, the extras are not counted, at least for now he can be regarded as a newcomer who can't be newer, and his younger brother doesn't have many roles in the play, so in the end the director team paid [-] yuan.

It is not impossible to afford more crews, but in business and business, they film to make money, not to help the poor.

Zong Ji didn't agree right away, he had no objection to the remuneration, he just wanted to take a closer look at the contract out of caution.

"Take it back and have a look. Call me when you're ready." Producer Zhao readily agreed to Zong Ji's request. It's not a bad thing for young people to be cautious, "But don't make me wait too long. It's time to start."

"I'll give you an answer tomorrow!"

Zong Ji held the script and the contract, thanked the five people one by one, and left with such light steps that he almost flew up.

Sun Gui was stopped outside, and after waiting for more than half an hour, he finally saw Zong Ji come out: "It's done?"

"It's done!" Zong Ji showed him the script and contract in his hand, "Thank you, Brother Sun."

If Sun Gui hadn't informed him, he wouldn't have had the chance to audition.

"That's what you have." Sun Gui was at best a mouthpiece, and if he had to thank him, it would be the person who told them about the audition.

"Your brother doesn't know yet, does he? Let's go, hurry up and ask him where he is, let's go find him!"

Sun Gui didn't even work anymore, he was more excited than anyone else when Zong Ji succeeded in the audition, and he couldn't wait to see what kind of expression Liu Wang would have when he heard the news.

Liu Wang is in the southern district, not very far from here.Zong Ji put the script and contract in his backpack and went to find Liu Wang with it.

"You passed the audition?!!!"

Liu Wang's expression lived up to Sun Gui's expectations. He could hear him shouting uncontrollably within a radius of ten meters. Fortunately, there was no crew filming where they were, otherwise the actors would be scared by him.

"Show me quickly! Show me!" He has been filming for six years and has yet to see what the complete script looks like.

"Don't worry, explain what you're doing, let's talk about it when we go back." Sun Gui stopped Liu Wang, and asked someone to take a good look at Zong Ji's contract in addition to the script.

It's not difficult to read the contract, just find Brother Cheng.

Half an hour later, in the hotel box, four people gathered around Zong Ji's script and contract to study non-stop.

"I've read the contract, it's okay. Fifty thousand is a lot for Zong Ji, and you read this." Brother Cheng pointed to a sentence at the back of the contract, which translates to "If Zong Ji performs well and the box office of the movie is excellent, There are other bonuses.

For a rookie with no professional background and no background, this contract is not bad.

Not to mention money or not, just the opportunity to act in a movie, regardless of the salary, is rushed by big filmmakers.

Anyway, just one word, sign!

The contract that Zong Ji got back was just a sample, and it didn't have any legal effect even if it was signed, so he still had to call Producer Zhao.

When the food they ordered came, Liu Wang carefully put away the script and the contract so as not to curl the edges or get oily: "When you signed the contract, tell me that I will accompany you. Brother Cheng, let me ask you for leave first." .”

"Okay, I'm sure." Brother Cheng also smiled, pried off the cap of the beer bottle, and poured all four glasses.

Zong Ji hadn't had a drink yet, Liu Wang stretched out his hand to ask the waiter to order a bottle of drink for him, Zong Ji tugged at his clothes under the table: "Brother Wang, just let me drink beer."

"Yes, drink beer. It's not that your brother is immature. Awang, you can't always treat him like a child. As a brother, you must know how to let go properly. Old Sun, do you think I'm right?"

"Yes!" Sun Gui raised his hands in agreement, but Liu Wang was too cautious, "The beer is not high, come on, let's celebrate Zong Ji's success in the audition!"

The four glasses collided and made a crisp sound.Three pairs of eyes stared at Zong Ji, watching him take his first sip of beer.

Brother Cheng made him feel bored, and Liu Wang yelled, no, no, take your time.

Zong Ji gulped down a sip, and Liu Wang and the others followed suit with a swallowing motion: "How is it? Is it good? Do you feel good?"

"It's not very tasty." Zong Ji's face wrinkled into a ball, and then he stretched it out, "But it's very refreshing!"

"Okay!" Brother Cheng continued to fill him up, "Just enjoy it!"

The four of them drank the whole bottle of beer, but Zong Ji drank a total of two glasses, afraid of getting drunk.In case the producer asked him to sign the contract tomorrow, it was inappropriate for him to be too drunk, Liu Wang would accompany him, drank two bottles, and the rest would be settled by Brother Cheng and Sun Gui.

"Xiaoji, before Brother Cheng asked you to act as a corpse, don't be angry with him." When the show was about to end, Brother Cheng smiled, "At that time, Liu Wang sent me your ID card. I saw that such a child What kind of tricks are you here for? Going to school is serious. So I want to let you act as a corpse, let you suffer a little, maybe you will go back to work obediently."

"I didn't expect you to be quite tough, kid."

Brother Cheng poured the wine again and toasted Zong Ji: "Future big star, come on!"
