Chapter 273 Audition Qualifications

Zhang Hanyu was quite helpless after receiving requests from friends in the industry.

He himself has not received an audition invitation from Yishu Company, let alone helping others.

However, the entertainment industry is a circle that pays attention to interpersonal relationships.

The big things are separate, the small things are basically you help me, I help you, mutual help.

In addition, everyone in the industry knew that Wang Shu had contributed a lot when he was filming "Buried Alive" when he first debuted, so he was favored by Wang Shu.

In other words, he could not refuse these requests.

Because it was only through his recommendation that I go to Wang Shu to get the audition qualification, but it was not a guarantee that the audition would be successful, let alone asking him to directly decide the role with Wang Shu.

If he is not willing to help even with this small favor, it will appear that there is something wrong with him as a person.

"Alas." Zhang Hanyu sighed.

Deng Chao happened to come over and saw him, and asked in confusion: "Brother Hanyu, what's wrong? Are you sighing?"

Compared with Hu Jun and Wang Baoqiang, Deng Chao remained calm and kept a faint smile.

Zhang Hanyu looked at the three of them, knowing that they didn't know, and then continued: "Director Wang will select actors through auditions for this new film."

Now that there is another Wang Shu making trouble in the film and television industry, due to the butterfly effect, the completion time of the film directed by Feng Xiaogang has been delayed.

Doesn't selecting actors through auditions mean that they also have a chance?

My heart suddenly became filled with anticipation.

Today is the closing banquet of "Assembly". As the leading actor of the film, Zhang Hanyu should be in high spirits. Why is he sighing?

Hu Jun and he were both actors in the crew of "Assembly" and they filmed together for more than four months.

Just when he was feeling regretful, Zhang Hanyu sighed and said, "Oh."

After finishing speaking, he added, "However, I can only recommend it to Director Wang, and I am not sure that I will be able to get the audition qualification."

When Deng Chao, Wang Baoqiang, and Hu Jun heard this, their eyes lit up.

There were so many people trying to get audition qualifications through Zhang Hanyu for Wang Shu's new play. He thought for a moment and guessed that it was most likely not a small production.

He has Sun Li, so there is no need to go through Zhang Hanyu's relationship.

Several people were puzzled.

But when it came to my mouth, I was embarrassed to speak and swallowed it back.

Deng Chao, Wang Baoqiang, and Hu Jun were startled when they heard this. They had not received the invitation, and the fire in their hearts was immediately doused by a basin of cold water.

When Wang Baoqiang heard what Hu Jun said, he opened his mouth and had some ideas.

Then it was Zhang Hanyu's turn.

When he asked this question, he realized that Zhang Hanyu might have sighed because he had not received the audition invitation either, and suddenly regretted asking.

In the movie "Assembly", Feng Xiaogang's original male lead was Ge You.

While he was thinking about this, Hu Jun said with a smile: "Brother Hanyu, since so many people are looking for you, why don't you take me with you too?"

"He sighed helplessly, just in time for you to see him."

According to the original timeline, "Assembly" was completed at the end of February 07.

"I need to explain this to you first."

Their minds have always been on "Assembly" and their own work, so they don't know about it yet.

"Just now, I received several calls from friends in the industry asking me to help them get audition qualifications."

Zhang Hanyu saw the changes in the expressions of the three people and knew what they were thinking, and then continued: "It's just that this audition is not an open audition for everyone, but only actors who have received an audition invitation are eligible to go. Audition.”

Zhang Hanyu is the leading actor in the movie "Assembly". This time he is no longer a role that he got by begging Feng Xiaogang in a low voice.

Unlike the original Xiao Xiami at this time, Zhang Hanyu is now starring in "Buried Alive" and participated in "The Tuner", and has already made a name for himself.

Deng Chao, Wang Baoqiang, and Hu Jun were stunned when they heard this, and they had different thoughts at the same time.

After Ge You refused to play the role of the male lead in "Assembly", it fell to him without many twists and turns.

When Zhang Hanyu saw Deng Chao, Wang Baoqiang and Hu Jun looking over, he knew that he couldn't explain it, so he said, "I wonder if you know that Director Wang went to the Film and Television Bureau to submit the script to start filming a new movie?"

Among the three, Deng Chao thought of Sun Li after listening to Zhang Hanyu's words.

At this time, the filming of "Assembly" was wrapping up and a wrap-up banquet was held. Leading actors such as Zhang Hanyu, Deng Chao, Liao Fan, Wang Baoqiang, Hu Jun, and Ren Quan were all present.

Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to ask Sun Li to meet him and mention this matter.

Deng Chao, Wang Baoqiang and Hu Jun looked at each other with confusion.

"What does this have to do with your sighing?" Wang Baoqiang asked subconsciously without realizing it.

It's just that Ge You felt that his image did not fit the characteristics of the script, so he rejected it.

And he happens to be an artist from Huayi, and he and Feng Xiaogang still have some romance.

Wang Baoqiang and Hu Jun were also on the side, looking at him with the same confusion.

Sun Li has collaborated with Wang Shu, and they are also friends. Sun Li may be able to help Wang Shu obtain an audition qualification through Sun Li's favor with Wang Shu.

When Zhang Hanyu heard Hu Jun's request, he did not refuse and said, "Okay."

"There are too many people coming, and it's hard for me to refuse."

In addition, it was the wedding banquet, and it was really not good to refuse to agree to any of these requests.

Seeing Zhang Hanyu agreeing to Hu Jun's request, Wang Baoqiang wanted to open his mouth to show that he had the same idea, but he had scruples in his heart and never dared to speak.

"It's okay, Brother Hanyu, don't worry, I still understand these things." Hu Jun responded quickly after hearing this.

Just when several people were still wanting to chat about this matter, they heard Director Feng's greetings from the door. Knowing that Feng Xiaogang was here, they stopped chatting one after another.

Everyone in Huayi Company knows that not only do Wang Shu and Mr. Wang have no quarrel, but they may have a good relationship. This judgment comes from the cooperation between Wang Shu and Zhou Xun.

As for Feng Xiaogang, he actually competed with Wang Shu.

Therefore, at the closing banquet of "Assembly", it is best not to talk about Wang Shu's new film to be directed in front of Feng Xiaogang.

If Feng Xiaogang heard this, he might frown.

After the wedding banquet was over, Zhang Hanyu dialed Wang Shu's phone while he was drunk.

"Brother Hanyu, I was just going to call you later, but I didn't expect you to call first." Wang Shu answered the call from Zhang Hanyu and said with a smile immediately.

"Ah?" Zhang Hanyu was stunned when he heard this, and for a moment he lost track of what he wanted to say.

"Haha." Wang Shu laughed twice and explained: "It's like this. I plan to shoot a new movie. The role has not been decided yet, so I plan to call you to audition."

"It's just an audition, not a direct decision."

"The final choice will be decided based on the results after the audition."

"." After hearing what Wang Shu said, Zhang Hanyu didn't know what to say.

Previously, I had not received an audition invitation from Yishu Company, so I accepted the request from my friends in the industry.

Now, Wang Shu sent him an audition invitation.

If he mentioned these things to Wang Shu again, wouldn't he be adding more competitors to himself?

this.

Wang Shu didn't hear Zhang Hanyu's reply for a long time, and he began to wonder.

There was clearly an "ah" voice on the other end of the phone at first, and this tone was indeed Zhang Hanyu's.

Why didn't you speak?

what's the situation?

"Brother Hanyu, are you there?" Wang Shu asked.

"Oh! Oh! Here!" Zhang Hanyu responded quickly, and then said, "Audition. I know, I promise to be there when the time comes."

"As for what happened in the past few days, someone will inform you later." Wang Shu said with a smile, and then said, "You called, what's the matter?"

When Zhang Hanyu heard Wang Shu's question, he took a deep breath and said, "Well, that's it."

"I have a few friends in the industry. They heard that you were going to direct a new play, so they wanted to ask if they could audition."

Wang Shu was stunned when he heard this, and said with a smile: "You edit a text message with your name and send it to me, and I will ask the company to send them an audition invitation later."

"Let me tell you in advance that the role in the movie audition is only based on whether you meet the requirements. Whether you can succeed or not depends on these."

He also knew that if he didn't agree to this matter, it would be difficult for Zhang Hanyu to be caught in the middle.

Furthermore, it's just to call in more people to audition, and it's not like directly deciding on a role. There's no need to have this bit of human sophistication.

"Don't worry, Director Wang, I still understand these things." Zhang Hanyu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wang Shu agreeing to his request so easily.

The faster Wang Shu agrees, it means that his favor with Wang Shu is still there.

Looking back now, it is always there.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been asked to audition.

As for setting the role directly

He also knew that when Wang Shu was filming a film, if it was a more important film, he would definitely choose actors who fit the roles in the script.

If it is an unimportant play, the role will usually be decided directly.

Since this play requires an audition, it must be more important. It is impossible to directly determine his role.

"Okay." Wang Shu responded, and then said, "I still have things to do, so I won't talk to you anymore. You edit a text message and send the name and information."

There are actors with the same name and surname in the film and television industry. Just the name is not enough, and relevant information is needed.

"Okay, you're busy." Zhang Hanyu responded quickly.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Hanyu was worried about gains and losses.

The good news is that Wang Shu called him to audition, and he also had a chance to get a role.

Bad news, he is going to recommend several actors to Wang Shu, and among them there are people whose image is not very different from his. He will personally recommend these people to Wang Shu to compete with him.

For a moment, I held my phone and wanted to edit a text message and send it to Wang Shu, but I also didn't want to edit a text message and send it to Wang Shu.

I want to write one or two less names, but I also feel that this is not good.

Inside, it was quite torturous.

Not long after Wang Shu ended his call with Zhang Hanyu, he received another call from Zhou Xun.

"I heard that you are going to make a new movie?" Zhou Xun asked with a smile.

"Yes, an art film." Wang Shu heard Zhou Xun ask and answered directly.

"Are you going to Venice?" Zhou Xun asked again with a somewhat regretful tone after hearing the confirmed news.

"Have you guessed this?" Wang Shu joked with a smile after hearing this.

When Zhou Xun heard this, he said angrily: "Art films can't keep up with Cannes, either Venice or Berlin."

"Berlin will be in February next year. With the speed of your filming, there is a high probability that it will be Venice."

"How smart!" Wang Shu said with a smile, "He is indeed heading to Venice, but no one can tell whether he can go there or not."

"With your strength, you will definitely be shortlisted." Zhou Xun understood what Wang Shu meant. It did not refer to whether the time was up, but whether he could be selected.

"Haha, are you so confident in me?" Wang Shu said with a smile.

If Wang Shuren were by Zhou Xun's side, she would have seen Zhou Xun roll her eyes after hearing this. She said: "You made two art films, one went to Berlin and one went to Cannes, and both Everyone won awards.”

"If you make a commercial film, you will also get a good harvest at the box office and word of mouth."

"So far, I haven't missed anything yet."

"Tell me, do I have confidence in you?"

"Uh." When Wang Shu heard Zhou Xun say this, he always felt that there was some resentment in her tone.

As Zhou Xun said, he has never failed yet.

Therefore, she also knew where the resentment in Zhou Xun's tone came from.

Wang Shugan laughed twice and responded: "You are talking as if I am 100% qualified to be shortlisted in Venice."

"Even if it's not 100%, it's still 90%." Zhou Xun was too lazy to talk to him anymore, and then added, "I'm calling you this time because Chen Kun and Huang Xiaoming want to ask if they can come to you. Company audition?”

"Of course you can. I'll ask the company to send them audition invitations later." Wang Shu heard Zhou Xun's words and agreed without saying a word.

Zhou Xun felt much better when he saw Wang Shu agreeing so readily.

She said: "Thank you."

"Why are you so polite?" Wang Shu pretended to be angry when he heard Zhou Xun thank him.

"Haha." Zhou Xun laughed twice, "I'm asking you to do this, why don't I thank you?"

"There is no need to be so polite between us." Wang Shu said softly.

Zhou Xun heard the tenderness in Wang Shu's voice and felt that what he said was sincere. She felt warm in her heart and said softly: "No matter if you are polite or not, thank you anyway."

"Oh, it's up to you." Wang Shu had no choice but to continue, "When will the filming of the scene starring you and Wu Yan's team be completed? Let's go back to Beijing and have dinner together."

"It will take some time." Zhou Xun responded, and then added, "But... I will return to Beijing in a few days to participate in the promotion of "Terror Cruise""

Wang Shu understood the meaning of Zhou Xun's words and immediately said: "Then let's have dinner together then, otherwise I will be busy filming on the set after a while."

"Well, okay, I'll call you then." Zhou Xun said softly.

Although Wang Shu is the director and one of the producers of "Horror Cruise", he is not always present to promote the movie.

The director belongs behind the scenes, while the actors are in front of the stage.

Therefore, most of the promotion of the movie involves the main creative actors standing in front of the stage.

Just like when Zhou Xun said that she was going back to Beijing to participate in an event to promote "Terror Cruise", Wang Shuren would not be there even if she was in the capital.

"I'll treat you to a big dinner then." Wang Shu said with a smile.

When Zhou Xun heard this, he rolled his eyes and joked with a smile: "What if I want to eat your bacon?"

"." When Wang Shu heard this, he knew that Zhou Xun must have heard about his visit to Han Sanping on the second day of the Lunar New Year to bring bacon from his hometown. Then he smiled calmly and said, "When you return to Beijing, I will send it to you. Give you some."

"But I don't cook, so it's useless for you to give it to me." Zhou Xun said with a smile.

"Then you come to my house, and I will personally cook a meal for you." Wang Shu expressed his stance immediately.

"Is this what you said?" Zhou Xun knew that Wang Shu could cook, and immediately responded with his eyes brightening.

"I'm not lying to you." Wang Shu responded with a smile.

After hearing this, Zhou Xun pretended to think for a while and said hesitantly: "I can go to your house, but you can't do anything, otherwise I won't go."

"What are you doing?" Wang Shu pretended not to understand.

"Hmph!" Zhou Xun knew clearly that Wang Shu was pretending to be confused, so he snorted coldly and stopped talking.

"Haha." Wang Shu said with a smile, "Don't worry, you don't know what kind of person I am? No way."

Zhou Xun curled his lips when he heard this and said coldly: "Originally, if you didn't say this, I could still believe that you wouldn't do anything. But now that I hear what you say, I feel more and more that your home is like a dragon's den and a tiger's den."

"So, let's forget it. It's better not to go to your house to eat, but to eat in a restaurant outside."

"You don't want to eat the bacon?" When Wang Shu heard this, he didn't refute, but asked instead.

"I won't eat anymore." Zhou Xun snorted.

"Haha." Wang Shu smiled.

"Unless you promise not to do anything." Zhou Xun's voice changed and he said again.

"I don't know how to do anything." Wang Shu pretended to complain.

"Do you believe what you said?" Zhou Xun snorted.

"Alas." Wang Shu sighed, pretending to be helpless and said, "Okay, I promise."

Only then was Zhou Xun satisfied. She said, "Whether we want to go to your house for dinner or not, we'll decide when we get back to Beijing."

"Anyway, when I go to your house for dinner, you can't touch me."

"I think you seem to have misunderstood me?" Wang Shu pretended to be helpless.

"Misunderstanding?" Zhou Xun chuckled.

"Alas." Wang Shu sighed, and then said, "The company still has things to deal with, so I won't talk to you any more."

"Well, you're busy." Zhou Xun responded with a somewhat disappointed voice.

Originally, he and Wang Shu were joking happily, but the other party had something to do and had to end it.

"Pay attention to rest and don't be tired during filming." Wang Shu said softly.

"I know." Zhou Xun responded, pondering for a moment, and before hanging up the phone, he added, "In the future, if you make art films, will you also consider me?"

After speaking, Wang Shu hung up the phone without waiting for an answer.

She didn't say now, but later.

It was precisely because she knew that she had just acted in the movie "Terror Cruise", and it would seem greedy to mention the role again.

Yes. With Wang Shu's ability, there is a high chance that the art film directed by him will be shortlisted for the top three films in Europe, or even win an award.

She is an actress, and she also wants to be able to walk on the red carpet of Europe's three major closing award ceremonies.

And, very eager.

……

Wang Shu smiled slightly when he heard the busy signal from his cell phone.

The three major European companies were too tempting for domestic actors, but Zhou Xun couldn't help mentioning this matter in the end.

This is human nature.

However, Zhou Xun was quite amused by the way he wanted the role but was too embarrassed to ask.
