Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 603: Get Ready for the Audition
Zhou Jie’s situation is actually quite complicated.

The focus of his ruined reputation was mainly on Lin Ziwei's "tongue kiss" incident.

This incident attracted a huge amount of attention from both places at that time.

And Zhou Jie also suffered great losses in this turmoil.

Two years ago, Zhou Mo explained this matter clearly in "The Eloquent Man", which helped Zhou Jie restore some of his reputation.

But apart from this incident, Zhou Jie also had many other problems back then.

For example, car incidents, beating incidents, being a big shot, etc.

Some of them are quite well-known and have even been identified by the official program team.

These things are not slander, but what Zhou Jie actually did.

Under such circumstances, Zhou Mo would indeed not let Zhou Jie play the role of Hou Liangping.

Even though he might be a good fit.

It can't be said that Zhou Jie really played out Hou Liangping one moment and then some of Zhou Jie's past dark history was put online again the next moment.

Zhou Mo doesn't want his project to be hit by boomerangs several times one day.

"Forget about Zhou Jie. If you can't choose him, look at others."

Zhou Meisen said, "Why not just hold the auditions? Director Zhou, I know you like to select actors in advance, but due to the special nature of the role of Hou Liangping, it would be hard to tell if the actors can play this role well without auditions."

Xia Donghai also tried to persuade him.

"Yes, Director Zhou, the content of our play is quite complicated. In fact, I suggest that you try it with not only Hou Liangping, but also other characters to see how they perform."

"Wait a minute, let me think about it."

Auditions have their benefits.

There are advantages to not auditioning.

There are many auditions, many choices, and there may be unexpected dark horses.

No auditions are required, they are all our own people, so it’s easier.

Zhou Mo paused and looked at the candidates for the role again.

"Yeah, there's no one for Zhao Ruilong either?"

Li Lu explained: "I contacted Feng Lei before, but he didn't really want to participate. He wanted to play positive roles and was somewhat resistant to villain roles, especially villain roles like Zhao Ruilong."

Zhou Mo did seem to have some impression of this matter.

Feng Lei did say something similar.

In that case, he no longer insisted.

Getting used to this kind of thing still requires making concessions for specific things.

"Okay, let's have a big audition. Send out the invitations. Anyone who has a candidate in mind can call them to come and give it a try.

It will all depend on the performance at that time. Those who are capable will go on stage, and those who are not will applaud. "

Zhou Mo made the final decision.

The other three smiled.

Of course they also have their own circles and friends.

If the roles in "Name" are still all pre-determined like in the past, then they will have no chance at all.

But if you can audition, at least you can try.

If you succeed, you will gain a favor for free.

Even if it doesn't work, I've done my best.

then.

Two days later, when the news of the audition for "In the Name" was released, the entire entertainment industry was in an uproar.

Many people were stunned when they saw the news for the first time.

What did they see?
Produced by Shanhe Company.

Produced by Zhou Mo.

Screenplay by Zhou Meisen.

Guidance from the Supreme People's Procuratorate.

Check out the anti-corruption drama.

What kind of a fairy background is this? This was just the initial reaction. When everyone read the script and found that the positions and characters involved in it were existences that they would never be able to come into contact with in their lifetime, many people even felt a little breathless.

Zhao Lichun.

At this level, one can be regarded as the boss behind the scenes.

This script is simply amazing.

As a result, almost all the actors who saw the script went crazy.

No matter what, they have to compete for the role in this play.

A very small number of actors felt that they would not have the opportunity even if they went, so they wanted to give up. However, before they could even lie down, their respective agents pulled their ears and made demands.

You must go, you can't not go.

Even if you don't get selected, you have to try.

Even if I just know a few people!

Just like that, an almost violent registration boom began.

In order to save time, Zhou Mo left very few things for everyone to do. Basically, after they understood the script and had a grasp of their own roles, it was time to go for the audition.

So, everyone is racing against time.

During this process, Zhou Mo was very foresighted and turned off his mobile phone early.

At this time, if you borrow a phone, you can't stop.

So, just love whoever you want, and just don’t pick up the phone.

"Answer the phone? Forget it. I'm not the director. I'm not responsible for things like this." Zhou Mo said casually while watching TV.

Somewhere in Yanjing.

Zhou Mo was staying at Liu Shishi's house.

In order to avoid people this time, he didn't even stay at home or go to the company, but hid directly in Liu Shishi's house to prevent anyone from blocking the door.

Never underestimate how hard an actor works for a role.

Blocking doors is not uncommon in the entertainment industry; it is even quite commonplace.

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Shishi walked out of the kitchen, wearing a small apron and holding a plate of stewed beef brisket with potatoes in her hands.

"But if you keep an eye on it yourself, aren't you afraid that other people will add people to the crew without you knowing?"

Zhou Mo quickly stood up and took the rice bowl.

After putting the things down, he said, "What are you afraid of? Even if they call for help, at most they can just give some pointers. In the end, you still have to go through an audition. If you don't pass the audition, there's no point in discussing anything."

"Shi Shi, what you mean is that there is no way to avoid audition?" The third person on the other side of the table suddenly asked.

Liu Shishi suddenly turned her head and looked at Tang Yan who was sitting at the table.

"You're not going to help, but why do you like to make trouble?"

Tang Yan said with a smile: "I just care about you and want to get a place for you."

Liu Shishi curled her lips.

"You talk like you don't want to go."

As he was talking, Zhou Mo had already come over with three bowls of rice.

"If you ask me, the two of you should stop arguing. You two should have read the script of In the Name of People more than once. There are not many female roles in it, and the few that are there are not suitable for you, so you two should forget about it."

Hearing this, Liu Shishi and Tang Yan looked at each other, feeling a little disappointed.

"It's such a great opportunity, such a high-end production, the whole entertainment industry is like celebrating the New Year, but I didn't have the chance to participate. It's really disappointing."

"If I had known, I would have honed my acting skills earlier. Otherwise, I wouldn't have found out that they were not good enough when I needed them."

The two of them sang in unison and had a great understanding of each other.

Zhou Mo smiled and shook his head.

These two people, they clearly knew they had no chance, but they still wanted to fight for it a few more times.

But it’s understandable.

Want to make progress.

"Okay, both of you stop talking to each other. You two can't participate in "In the Name". I have other plans for you two."
