After all of them were reborn, who would still be an actor?

Chapter 527: "Goodbye" audition, looking for a needle in a haystack - Jin Damei
"They are basically just vases, decorations... Oh, not really decorations, they are all very capable. Look, their barbecue is much better than that in the restaurants." Li Mingyang stuffed half a grilled sausage into Tan Songyun's mouth.

Tan Songyun chewed and said, "The ingredients that Old Wu brought back from China are good... Have you really never done this before?"

"You're such a young girl, and you just talk about sex. Is there nothing else on your mind except sex?"

Tan Songyun rolled her eyes and hit Li Mingyang lightly. She also wanted to hit him harder, but Li Mingyang's muscles were too hard. The harder she hit him, the more serious the injury would be.

After suffering a loss, I have become honest.

"Don't change the subject. Give us a rosy picture of how we can return to China. If you don't give us a rosy picture, I won't dance and will accompany you every day."

After much persuasion from Tan Songyun, Li Mingyang finally gave in.

As long as one of them wins first place in the music shows of the three major TV stations, they will be allowed to return home.

After getting the promise, Tan Songyun immediately left Li Mingyang and ran to Tang Yixin and Zhong Xiaoyu to report the situation.

Then Zhang Ruoyun was sent back.

Zhang Ruoyun came to Korea this time not only to see his girlfriend, but also for an important mission.

Li Mingyang heard that Zhang Ruoyun came to him to ask for help in listing Mengzhou Culture and gave him 10% of Mengzhou Culture's shares.

The mood is very complicated.

If this is successfully launched, Zhang Ruoyun will definitely play a couple with her stepmother. The scene is so awkward and wow.

In fact, it’s not impossible.

But 10% is too little.

Zhang Ruoyun's father is also a figure in the television circle. He can write, direct and produce. Her stepmother Liu Bei is a Feng girl and has very wide connections in the Beijing circle. She is a good help to Uncle Bo.

Uncle Bo started out as Liu Bei’s agent, and basically all his filming opportunities were thanks to Liu Bei.

As one of the first producers, directors and screenwriters of TV dramas, Zhang Jian is actually much better than Zheng Dalong.

He really made money. He made money from every movie and made a lot of money.

Zheng Dalong's films have high ratings and good reputation, but they are prone to losing money...

But in the end, Zhang Jian basically couldn't find this person...

The main reason was that Zhang Jian was too greedy. Mengzhou had many opportunities to go public through a backdoor listing, but he thought the money was not enough and was too evil-minded, so he delayed the listing.

The second reason is Zhang Ruoyun’s stepmother…

In fact, Zhang Ruoyun has two stepmothers, the older stepmother and the younger stepmother, and they have never been separated.

It’s okay if I don’t see her, but Zhang Ruoyun often films with her stepmother.

Later they even played lovers.

Zhang Ruoyun couldn't take it anymore, so she went crazy, ran away, and wanted to sever the relationship.

Calculating the time, the stepmother will be here soon...

Maybe it's already healed.

Li Mingyang sighed and patted Zhang Ruoyun on the shoulder. "Your father is also a very capable person. It won't be a problem for him to go public. In fact, it is just a backdoor listing, just like Dong Ping's Cultural China."

"What is Cultural China?" Zhang Ruoyun was a little confused, as she had never heard of it.

"Tell your dad, he's sure to know."

"Then why don't you invest? It's a sure win, at least a few hundred million. My dad doesn't want anything from you, just your fame."

My reputation is the most valuable thing, man!

Li Mingyang was eating barbecue while chatting casually.

On the other side, Tan Songyun, Zhong Xiaoyu and Tang Yixin were whispering and plotting something by the swimming pool.

"I can go back with one place, that's great!" Tang Yixin said while clapping her hands.

"Don't be happy too soon... We are basically outside the top ten. Even if we spend money, we may not be able to get the first place." Zhong Xiaoyu crossed her arms and frowned.

"Xiao Yu, do you know how much money it will cost? As long as we can go back, it doesn't matter how much money we spend. We will definitely be able to earn it back when we go back. The competition among girl groups here is too fierce, and we can't make any money yet." Tan Songyun asked.

"Yes! Those four vixens and one tomboy from FX never had a day off when they came to our place. They even appeared on Happy Camp. I'm almost getting sick from wasting time here," said Tang Yixin.

“It doesn’t feel like it will cost much…but who should I give the money to to operate it is a big problem.”

"Look for that Li Xiucheng!"

"If Mingyang knew that we were operating behind the scenes, we would have wasted our money and would be scolded."

"Who should I look for? My Ruoyun is here. I have money now. I can easily spend a few million."

"Do those six women know how to operate?"

"It's better not to tell them. Zhang Wei hired them. If she finds out, we will be in even greater trouble."

The three of them discussed it and decided that money was not a problem. Tan Songyun was already a wealthy woman, Zhong Xiaoyu could find someone to borrow money from, and Tang Yixin had a big, obedient wallet.

It's hard to find someone to operate it.

If it's in China, it's easy. You can just ask an assistant to go to the TV station and ask around. You don't have to worry about being cheated.

But in Korea, they don’t have assistants and they don’t speak Korean.

The people I came into contact with were basically Li Mingyang and Zhang Wei’s people.

His eyes darkened.

"Why don't we find a good song and give it a try?" Zhong Xiaoyu suggested.

"Mingyang's songs are all good...but no one dares to use them...Don't look at me, I begged him, but he wouldn't give them to anyone else."

Li Mingyang’s song was not acceptable, so the three girls decided to call the Chopstick Brothers over and pay them to write a good song.

Xiao Yang and Wang Taili kept refusing.

If they can write good songs, why would they let others sing them? They would not even have enough time to sing them themselves.

After a series of setbacks, the three women were a little discouraged.

But the three women will never give up.

FX was just a third-rate girl group in Korea and had to sing in nightclubs, but once they went to Tokyo University, with all kinds of marketing announcements, they transformed themselves into a first-rate girl group in Korea and were highly sought after.

It’s so red.

If Zhang Wei can promote FX, she can really promote them too.

"We still have to do some behind-the-scenes operations..." Zhong Xiaoyu said with a sigh.

"Oh, by the way, Xiaoyu, weren't you a senior executive at Huashu Company before? You should have a lot of subordinates..." Tang Yixin said suddenly with an idea.

"I think it's best to ask your Zhang Ruoyun to help find out. Isn't he in Korea? And he won't tell on anyone."

Tan Songyun tilted his head and nodded vigorously. The biggest problem in finding someone is the fear of being betrayed. "Why didn't I think of that! Xinxin, Dayun is perfect! Let him do it!"

"Uh... He's stupid. I'm afraid he'll mess it up."

Tang Yixin looked embarrassed, but she couldn't resist the instigation of Tan Songyun and Zhong Xiaoyu, and finally agreed.

In this way, Zhang Ruoyun became the three women's accomplice in their secret operations.

Instead of spending tens of millions to buy a house in Korea to please your girlfriend, it is better to spend some money to bring your girlfriend back to China.

So Zhang Ruoyun was quite concerned about this matter. After the party, she returned to the Shilla Hotel and immediately contacted her acquaintances at a domestic TV station. When she asked about the price, she found out that she could get a room with three adults and one child for just over two million yuan.

It's a bargain.

Zhang Ruoyun called Tang Yixin to inform her about this. Tang Yixin jumped up excitedly when she heard it, and then told Tan Songyun and Zhong Xiaoyu.

More than 2 million RMB is a sky-high price for a Korean girl group, but for the three girls, it is a piece of cake.

"Come on, let's toast to our glorious return home." Tan Songyun said, raising his can of beer.

"Little squirrel, don't forget about us in the future." Tang Yixin said flatteringly.

"Yes, you can't be like Yang Mi, looking down on others..." Zhong Xiaoyu said.

Tan Songyun scratched his face and said, "I don't even know what will happen to me in the future. You guys are like this, and I don't know what to say."

"Oh, don't be so modest. Dayun is so stupid, but he can be made famous. You have such a good relationship with Director Li, you will definitely be better than us in the future." Tang Yixin said with a smile.

"Little squirrel, you just lack an opportunity. The boss still has Lingya's journey. You are getting smaller and smaller, and the opportunity is too great!"

Tan Songyun was modest in words but very happy in his heart. He stood up and hugged the two girls sitting on the bed, one on each side, saying that if he became famous, he would never forget his good sisters.

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

"for freedom."

……

3 month 22 day.

Chungmuro, CJ Entertainment.

Chungmuro ​​is located in the center of Seoul. It starts from Yulgok-ro in Jongno District in the north and ends in Jung District in the south, close to the Myeongdong shopping district. It is the gathering place of the Korean film industry.

A large number of film companies, production studios, distribution companies and cinemas are gathered here, providing a complete industrial chain for film production, distribution and screening.

Although it is less than two kilometers long, it is home to dozens of film production companies and theaters of all sizes. Walking from Myeongdong to Chungmuro, you can feel the rich historical accumulation along the way.

Actually, it’s old…

The cityscape of Korea is incomprehensibly shabby.

From the appearance, Seoul cannot even compare with the second- and third-tier cities in China. Chungmuro ​​is considered the city center, but it is still a bit shabby.

Moreover, the appearance of the buildings is varied, giving people a very messy feeling.

Today is the casting for "Goodbye, My Soul Mate" and it is taking place in a professional casting studio.

There were so many girls coming for the interview that the line stretched out to the street.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the casting officially began in the largest casting room on the third floor.

There are five people in charge of this casting, including Li Mingyang, three casting directors, and a translator. The three casting directors are quite talkative and serious.

The process is similar to that in China. The actors who are auditioning come in, introduce themselves, and then show their talents.

Li Mingyang thought it was similar to the Super Girl talent show, and it was full of embarrassment.

In fact, it is a bit like the Beijing Film Academy Art Examination. Every actress has a skill. Those who can act can act, and those who can sing and dance can sing and dance.

After a whole morning of choosing, he had one vote, and as long as he ticked the box, he could move on to the next round.

In the afternoon, casting began to accelerate.

Two people went in together.

Then Li Mingyang started to suffer from face blindness again. Korean makeup and Korean medical beauty are so popular in Korea that he often feels like he has twins.

After a busy day, I only saw more than 300 people.

As soon as the auditions were over, Li Mingyang called the vice president of CJ Entertainment and asked them to go to a larger venue and hold the auditions in groups of five.

There are 5,600 applicants for the audition. How long will it take to select?

The next day, the interview location was changed to the indoor basketball court of Seoul National University.

There were five people in a group. Li Mingyang felt that the three casting directors had started to become face-blind. For the afternoon casting, they were required to appear without makeup.

The Korean casting process usually takes about a month.

The director and screenwriter usually only appear in the last round to make the final decision.

Li Mingyang participated in advance. In addition to finding the two heroines of Goodbye My Soul Mate, the most important thing was to find the witch Kim Da-mi.

Kim Da-mi debuted relatively late, in her twenties, and is now around seventeen years old.

Goodbye, My Soul Mate is a touchstone of the Chinese-Korean twin version.

Very important.

Witch 2 is a big step forward for the series of superhero movies!

more important!
One of the reasons why he came to Korea was to shoot Avatar 2 and create his own heroic movie series!

Once successful, the witch will become his signature IP!
The most influential film category of Dongda Films worldwide is action films!

I didn't see Jin Duomei the whole day.

Two days later, the auditions were over, and I didn't see anyone who looked similar.

Before filming New World, Li Mingyang looked through the resumes of artists from major brokerage companies and artist guilds, but couldn't find it.

I haven’t found it in the audition yet.

This made Li Mingyang very upset.

The audition range for Goodbye, My Soulmate is extremely wide, basically including all actresses, female idols, female models, and female students from art schools who are under the age of 20.

There are no barriers except nationality and age.

Although Korean actors generally have good acting skills, few of them can be called rookie monsters.

"Where did the people go?"

Li Mingyang was so worried that he didn't even have time to care about Xiao Yang, so he just threw the matter to Park Xingxing.

Borrowing arrows with straw boats, the momentum is very good.

iQiyi, Youku, Tencent Video, Sohu, and LeTV have all sent people to contact the film and television companies he acquired, but they failed to bring the expected surprises.

I was in a bad mood and there was a drizzle in the sky.

Li Mingyang sat in the living room, looking at the lush green courtyard through the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, and fell into a trance for more than an hour.

Until a phone call brought him back to his senses.

Jing Tian called.

"Hey, Tiantian."

"Husband, where are you?"

"A villa in the north of the city."

"Okay, I'm in Seoul now. I'll be there in about an hour." Jing Tian paused and whispered, "I'll bring people over. You can collect your maids."

"Who!"

"You'll know when it arrives."

Jing Tian came to Seoul, which surprised Li Mingyang because she just returned to the Special Identity crew yesterday!
Li Mingyang asked six maids to go back to next door and only left two maids behind.

Then he asked the butler to open two bottles of red wine and prepare some snacks.

More than an hour later.

Jing Tian climbed up the stairs from the underground garage entrance in the living room and came to the living room. Zhen Zhidan and some entourage came with her.

"Brother Dan, long time no see." Li Mingyang hugged Zhen Zhidan.

Zhen Zhidan smiled with his big white teeth and looked around, "I've heard that you have a mansion in Korea. This house is really big and spacious."

"Come, come, I prepared two bottles of red wine, one Latour and the other Lafite. Which one do you want to drink?" Li Mingyang led Zhen Zhidan to the sofa in the living room and said with a smile.

After Zhen Zhidan sat down, he rubbed his hands and glanced at the others.

"Honey, I'm going upstairs first. You guys can chat slowly." After Jing Tian said that, she went upstairs with her assistant.

Zhen Zhidan's entourage returned the same way, but they could not open the door leading to the parking garage at the end of the stairs, so they turned back awkwardly.

“Butler Lin, send them to the Shilla Hotel and put them on my account.”

The butler nodded, went downstairs and led his people away.

There were only two maids left in the living room.

Zhen Zhidan still didn't want to speak and kept glancing at the two maids.

"They don't understand Chinese." Li Mingyang said with a smile.

Zhen Zhidan wiped his face and said with a wry smile: "You know what happened between me and Zhao Wenzhuo..."

"It's the verbal battle of the century! In my opinion, it's just that Zhao Wenzhuo doesn't know how to appreciate his courtesy. How can an actor go against a producer!" said Li Mingyang.

Although he is not listed in the film, due to his special identity, Zhen Zhidan is the producer, and he also serves as the action director, producer, and male lead.

"I have always done this, but I didn't expect..." Zhen Zhidan scratched his head frantically, "This incident has had a great impact on me. If I had no other choice, I wouldn't have come to you."

"It's just a small matter... If Zhao Wenzhuo did that, no one will hire him to act in movies anymore."

"But I was affected too much. Several endorsement agents wanted to terminate their contracts with me..." Zhen Zhidan's back suddenly weakened. "Not only did the endorsement have problems, but the film contracts also had problems. Many movies that had been agreed to have their investment withdrawn."

"Did you offend someone..."

"This circle is like this, winner takes all. I never thought he would be so stupid as to make such a big deal out of it."

Zhen Zhidan sighed and did not talk about the conflict between him and Zhao Wenzhuo, which was almost public.

The purpose of his trip was to ask Li Mingyang to help contact Wu Jing and let Wu Jing join the team with a special identity.

Now various media outlets have caught him in a fight with Wu Jing during filming, breaking four sticks and causing Wu Jing to suffer fractured ribs. They have been pursuing him relentlessly and spreading rumors that he has bad character and bullies actors.

"Zhou Xingxing is even worse than you, but it's nothing." Li Mingyang advised.

"But I'm not him! This is slander! Even Stephen Chow doesn't dare to show his face. I don't want to live behind the scenes like him. I like the feeling of being in front of the stage." Zhen Zhidan felt that Li Mingyang didn't want to help, and his voice was a little low.

Li Mingyang did not give Zhen Zhidan an immediate reply, but brought two glasses of wine and listened to the actual situation first.

As a friend, when Zhen Zhidan came to him, he should help out out of both moral and legal reasons.

But he is not Jing Tian, ​​who has little influence.

He can really change the direction of public opinion.

What Zhen Zhidan said was the same as what he thought. Zhen Zhidan did not think there was anything wrong with filming, swearing, changing the script, and interfering with the filming.

Li Mingyang also felt that there was nothing wrong.

That's what he did...

If you don't want to shoot, get out! That's his principle!

But Zhao Wenzhuo seemed to have suffered some great humiliation and an irreconcilable hatred, so he put his own future on the line and made a huge fuss.

He also made a speech on TV about the cross-strait conflicts.

He accused Zhen Zhidan of colluding with Hong Kong behind the scenes to bully mainland actors, a behavior he could not tolerate.

Directly provoked opposition.

As a mainland actor, Zhao Wenzhuo is very strong in his local field and has a lot of stars supporting him.

The negative news about Zhen Zhidan has increased more than 10 times on search engines.

For example, "bullying Wu Jing and Shi Xiaolong", "being beaten to tears by Jet Li", "having bad relationships with 16 celebrities", "abandoning his wife and children", "not being too naive", etc.

What Hong Kong actors are like... It has been in the news for many years, so netizens believed it all of a sudden.

Even if Zhen Zhidan issued a statement, it would be of no use.

I was forced to ask my friends to support me, such as Li Ming, Hui Yinhong, Chen Kexin, Shu Qi...

However, Zhao Wenzhuo had the upper hand in public opinion in the local battle.

Friends and relatives who expressed support for Zhen Zhidan were ridiculed, mocked and insulted by netizens in a carnival-like manner.

The most unfortunate person was Shu Qi. Because of her support for Zhen Zhidan, she was subjected to online violence and old issues were brought up again. In the end, she had to delete the relevant posts and quit the Internet.

Feng Kuazi spoke up for her and was scolded as "Hushubao", while Yao Chen was also called "Yao Xintan".

The dispute between Zhao and Zhen has become increasingly intense and has expanded to both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong and Macau.

Anyway, there are a lot of people watching the joke.
