Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 207: Your fellow disciple is really awesome.

In terms of casting, Chen Cheng was chosen to play the leading role and also drafted several important roles.

So the casting was relatively quick.

but.

The necessary procedures must be followed.

Some audition work also needs to be completed.

"Junior Sister Zihan, you are here too."

Actor Ren Quan saw that Chen Zihan was in a good mood.

Ren Quan is from the Shanghai Theatre Academy, and Chen Zihan is from the Beijing Film Academy.

Renquan is two years older than Chen Zihan.

The two have been in the circle for many years and are very familiar with each other.

"Oh, Senior Brother Renquan, you are here too. Which role do you play?"

"I auditioned for Yi Xiaochuan's brother, Yi Dachuan."

"Great, male number 2."

"Let's count it as number 3. Number 2 should be Zhao Gao. What about you?"

"The role I auditioned for was Lü Zhi."

"Junior sister Zihan, don't be so modest. Why are you still auditioning? Director Chen is your fellow junior fellow student."

"Look at what you said. What do you think of Brother Chen Cheng? He's a producer. There are a lot of people in the circle who need his connections. It's not easy to do that."

"This too."

the other side.

The one who accompanied Jinsha to the audition was Jie Lun.

Jinsha was a little worried: "Brother, I'm a little scared."

"What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid Director Chen won't like me."

"If he doesn't like you, I'll strangle him to death."

"Don't worry, Senior Brother. Although I know you have a good relationship with Director Chen, if it's really not suitable, you don't have to embarrass Director Chen. After all, I haven't acted in many years, and I'm afraid of being scolded by others if I don't act well."

"Don't worry, it's okay."

This side said.

Some other actors looked at him with envy.

But it's like this in the circle.

Whoever has connections can go further.

Who told them not to know Chen Cheng?

But it is very difficult to get to know Chen Cheng.

Even among some alumni of Beijing Film Academy, not all of them know Chen Cheng.

……

"Director Chen, is this list completely confirmed, or do we need to wait and see?"

On the way to the hotel for the audition.

Wu Jingyuan was a little unsure of what Chen Cheng meant, so he said to Chen Cheng.

"You see."

Chen Cheng said, "I drew up the list. Apart from the male protagonists Hu Ge and Zhang Shi, I am just interested in the other roles, but not 100 percent sure. If they are really not suitable, you are the director and you have the final say. I will not interfere with your directing."

"clear."

After hearing what Chen Cheng said, Wu Jingyuan nodded.

What Chen Cheng meant was actually quite simple.

Of course we have to give face, but we can't completely ignore the relationship.

They are all in the same circle.

Which one doesn’t matter and which one has no face?
If you don't give any face to people based on your relationship, then why bother hanging around in that circle? Just go and do business.

But let's be honest.

The same is true for working in the real industry.

It's just not that obvious.

"Okay, go to the audition, I'll say hello to some friends."

Talked to Wu Jingyuan about it.

Today Chen Cheng knew that several of his senior brothers and sisters, as well as a few friends, had come.

I haven't seen them for a while, so this time I had a chance to chat with them.

"Jie Lun, long time no see."

Sitting in the front is Jie Lun.

Chen Cheng happily hugged Jie Lun and asked, "How's your Thorn Ling?"

“The project has been launched.”

"Oh my god, it took so long to get the project off the ground."

"You think I'm you? I can do it in a week. Everyone in the circle envies you. When will they be able to reach your level?"

"Don't come on, I'm also under everyone's care."

"Chen Cheng, let me introduce you to my junior sister, Jinsha. She came here to audition for the role of Lu Su."

"Hello."

Chen Cheng stretched out his right hand.

Jinsha was a little excited: "Director Chen, hello, hello."

"Has Mr. Jinsha ever acted in a play before?"

"I acted in a TV series a long time ago, "The Sky of Eighteen Years Old", and then I just sang and didn't act much."

"I've watched The Sky of Eighteen, it's a very good youth campus drama."

"Really, Director Chen, have you seen my movie The Sky of Eighteen Years Old?"

"Of course it's true. One of my films, Those Years, borrowed a little from this film. Come on."

Chen Cheng gave Jinsha a thumbs up.

Jie Lun on the side pulled Chen Cheng aside and whispered, "Chen Cheng, how is my junior sister?"

"I feel very good."

"Are you sure?"

"I have no problem with that, but it depends on the director. Don't worry, as long as your junior sister doesn't have any major problems, it should be fine."

"Good brother, I'll treat you to milk tea later."

“I like skewers.”

"Eating skewers can make you fat."

"Get lost, drinking milk tea will make you fat."

The two burst into laughter.

"Jie Lun, take a seat first. I'll go to the front to say hello."

It's not just Jie Lun who comes here.

"Senior sister, long time no see."

Although she is several years behind Chen Zihan.

But Chen Cheng had contact with Chen Zihan before he graduated.

Although Chen Zihan asked Chen Cheng for help at that time.

But the two have had a good relationship since then.

"Junior brother, you have to come to the audition too."

Seeing Chen Cheng coming, Chen Zihan stood up excitedly.

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Forget about the audition. It's mainly because I haven't seen my senior sister for a while. After the audition, let's have a meal together."

"Great, we haven't had dinner together for a long time."

"Yes, for several years."

"It's great. I miss the restaurant in school."

Now Chen Cheng's status is already above Chen Zihan.

But seeing Chen Cheng still calling her Senior Sister so enthusiastically, Chen Zihan was also very happy. However, Chen Zihan was also a wonderful person. Taking this opportunity, Chen Zihan also introduced: "Junior brother, this is Senior Brother Renquan, who used to take care of me."

Renquan was very excited and greeted Chen Cheng: "Hello, Director Chen."

"Teacher Renquan, you're welcome. I've read your Young Justice Bao since I was a kid."

"Director Chen, do you still remember this drama? There was little competition in China at that time, and I was lucky enough to get this role."

"Anyway, Mr. Renquan, once your face appears, everyone will be very familiar with it. I think this will be of great help to mythological TV series."

"Thank you, Director Chen."

Renquan was extremely excited.

With Chen Cheng's words, he knew that his role was secure.

"This must be Senior Brother Yixiang."

Seeing an actor who wanted to speak but opened his mouth but didn't say anything, Chen Cheng walked over.

"Director Chen, do you know me?"

Li Yixiang couldn't believe it.

Chen Cheng said, "I already call you Senior Brother. How could I not recognize you?"

Yes.

This Li Yixiang is also from Beijing Film Academy.

Although Chen Cheng didn't know him before.

However, Chen Cheng took a look at the audition list today and remembered it.

Chen Cheng had been in this circle for decades in his previous life.

I am still in the circle in this life.

Chen Cheng knew this deeply.

Some actors have no resources and not much background. Even if you graduate from a prestigious university, you won’t get much exposure.

Like Chen Cheng in the previous life.

Another example is Li Yixiang now.

Although Li Yixiang has been in the industry for decades, he has always been in the third- and fourth-tier cities, or the fourth- and fifth-tier cities.

"Director Chen..."

"Brother, if you call me Director Chen again, I will be unhappy. If I remember correctly, you auditioned for the role of Liu Bang today?"

"Yes, Chen... Junior Brother Chen Cheng, today I'm auditioning for the role of Liu Bang."

"I remember."

Since you are my senior brother.

Although Chen Cheng didn't know him before.

But Chen Cheng will take care of everyone he can.

of course.

The prerequisite is that one's own conditions must be met.

otherwise.

Chen Cheng couldn't take care of her even if he wanted to.

……

"Oh, I really regret not applying to Beijing Film Academy."

"Me too, I chose to go to the theatre."

"It would be great if I knew Director Chen. Director Chen would say that our audition is just a formality."

When other actors saw this, they were also extremely envious.

Some bold actors looked at Chen Cheng and said, "Director Chen, I hope you can give us some opportunities."

Chen Cheng took a look.

It is the actor Zhang Shi.

Different from other actors on the scene.

Zhang Shi is now entering middle age and his career has been on the decline.

There was a period of time when Zhang Shi had no filming opportunities for several years.

This also put a lot of pressure on Zhang Shi.

This time, when Zhang Shi received the audition invitation from the "Myth" crew, he was a little bit unbelieving.

but.

Zhang Shi doesn't want to miss any opportunity.

But after seeing Chen Cheng during the audition, Zhang Shi became very unsure.

He made a comparison.

He had no advantage over the other actors on the scene.

I guess this round of auditions is just a formality, and then you will be notified that you are OUT.

But after seeing Chen Cheng.

Zhang Shi was somewhat unwilling.

he knows.

Opportunities are something you have to fight for.

Even though he didn't know Chen Cheng, he couldn't care less.

He is already in his 40s and his golden age as an actor has long passed.

If he hasn't gotten a decent role, it basically means that his acting career is coming to an end.

but.

What Zhang Shi didn't expect was.

Chen Cheng was delighted by his words and said, "Teacher Zhang Shi, I have read your book It's Not Hard to Marry a Man."

Zhang Shi was a little confused.

He didn't expect that.

Chen Cheng has watched such an unpopular TV series.

"No way, these movies were made seven or eight years ago. You were probably only about ten years old at that time."

"Correct."

Chen Cheng nodded: "But my mother likes this drama very much, and she also said that the character Ah Fa you played is a good man."

"Hahaha……"

Chen Cheng's words made Zhang Shi laugh out loud.

Chen Cheng nodded at Zhang Shi.

Everyone knows.

This one nodded.

That means a role is determined.

"Director Chen..."

After Zhang Shi.

The other actors also shouted out.

Chen Cheng understood.

Like Zhang Shi, they all wanted to have an opportunity.

I thought about it.

Chen Cheng said: "Dear teachers, you are all the first batch of actors invited by our myth TV series. If we talk about those who have the best chance, it is everyone here. In fact, let me reveal to you that I was also born to study acting. I once wanted to be an actor, and I deeply understand how difficult it is to be an actor. I have seen the films of many of the actors here. I also have a good impression of you. As long as it is suitable, I think everyone has a chance..."

Chen Cheng's words made everyone applaud.

Not only are these words beautiful, they also make people feel warm.

Actor Li Yixiang wiped his eyes, feeling a mixture of emotions.

Ren Quan on the side also said to Chen Zihan excitedly: "Zihan, your fellow disciple is really awesome."

of course.

Chen Cheng's words also made all the actors on the scene extremely excited. They couldn't help but say loudly:
"Director Chen, don't worry, we will definitely perform well."

"Director Chen, we also admire your ability."

"Director Chen, it seems I can only use my best skills..."
