I was just thinking about taking the arts exam and you said I've been playing supporting roles

Chapter 103 Guo Xun: Could you please be more gentle with women?
"The audition date has been set. It's May 5th. We are the third batch!"

"Teacher Li has already informed the director and producer. You should think about it. Read the books and works I gave you in the next few days. At least you should be familiar with and understand the characters..."

"I'll go with you that day too!"

"..."

The audition date was set, and Pu Lun called Chen Jin immediately.

It can be seen that she takes this audition very seriously.

Of course Chen Jin could understand that this was Sister Pu's first order for her brokerage business, and it was not an ordinary order.

If it is really done, it will be comparable to the four major brokerages in Beijing.

The kind that doesn’t open for a year but can make a living for several years after opening.

After all, this is not a role in a TV series or a low-budget movie, but an annual blockbuster resource that the entire entertainment industry is scrambling to grab, such as Huayi, Emperor Entertainment, Orange Sky... If a newcomer under her can get the leading role this time, it will be a sensational event.

It’s no big deal for Chen Jin to get the role. The biggest contributor behind this will definitely be spread by word of mouth and become famous among the agents.

It’s the same concept as how Chen Jin became famous, this is a display of their agent’s abilities.

Therefore, Pu Lun now regards this matter as more important than her main job of casting.

Originally, she was also involved in the casting of "The Flowers of War", and now she is concentrating on helping Chen Jin get this resource first.

Of course, it seemed that a lot of preparations had been made and it was very thorough; but both Chen Jin and Pu Lun knew that the hope of finally winning was very slim.

The only thing that can bet is that the two chief directors have publicly stated in the media more than once that they will use some new and young actors.

There are many people whom they don’t even know.

This is also the reason why Pu Lun tried every means to give it a try.

There are chances, but not many.

But at least it wasn't blocked directly.

Unlike some castings, which are either arranged by the investors or have very strict rules and you will definitely not be chosen.

This can also be a fantasy moment.

……

"You just finished filming, and you're already in business again?"

Guo Xun, who was sitting next to Chen Jin, looked at him in disbelief as he hung up the phone.

Chen Jin put the phone aside and glanced at him: "Why, are you jealous?"

The group will next prepare for the audition for "Love Is Not Blind". Bao Jingjing and Wang Ran are already on the way. They rented a temporary venue in the conference room of Beijing Film Academy.

"No, how could I be jealous of my brother Jin!"

Guo Xun now flatters casually: "I just feel that my brother Jin is very capable!"

"Haha, come on, I'm hanging out with Director Zhang, how can I be short of resources?"

Chen Jin really didn't feel anything.

Guo Xun sighed with envy and said, "Oh, that's right, Director Zhang's big investment of the year?"

The whole network knows about "Under the Hawthorn Tree". In fact, many people are very clear about the investment. It is just an art film. How high can the investment be?
After Zhang Yimou was scolded by the whole network for shooting "Three Guns", he wanted to make an art film to reverse his reputation.

But the real big production is actually "The Flowers of War"!
This has also been exposed online, but the entire network has also been reporting on the show's leading actress and male lead.

It is said that the leading male role will be played by a Hollywood superstar who will compete for an Oscar.

As for the candidate for "Mou Girl", Chen Jin knows a thing or two, but it seems that she is currently in training and he has not met the undecided actress yet; Lao Mouzi is still not very satisfied with Ni Ni, but there is only this one alternative, so he can only rely on the team to polish her.

“No, other dramas!”

"Damn, then don't you mean that your schedule for this year is basically full?"

Guo Xun was still quite shocked when he heard this.

You know, Chen Jin’s current fame is limited to the one that was exposed some time ago, and the rest... that’s it.

And Chen Jin's resources are so powerful that it is terrifying.

The Hawthorn Tree has just finished filming, and I’m auditioning right away. The next summer, Love Is Not Blind… And after The Hawthorn Tree is released, I’ll probably have to film Flowers of War. This is the only free time…

"more or less!"

"We're shooting this movie during the summer vacation. If we have to audition this time, it will probably be around September or October!"

Well, the only gap is this audition.

How could Guo Xun not be dumbfounded?
You have to know that the other party is just an art exam candidate, not even in his freshman year, and the resources are already maxed out.

Even Lao Guo couldn't imagine the situation and potential of this card.

"Brother, how about we shoot this drama next year?"

Guo Xun joked that Chen Jin wanted to give him a big slap.

"You'll be famous next year, and investing will definitely be easy!"

"The box office can be better, right?"

How could Chen Jin not know what this guy was thinking: "You can't release it later? I've already booked a date for you for next year's Double Eleven!"

"Double... Eleven?"

What the hell is this day?

Although the concept of Singles' Day has already existed, it has not yet become popular.

Next year will be the time for this festival to have its first big explosion.

Originally, Teng Huatao's "Love Is Not Blind" also used the marketing strategy of "broken heart + being single is a better match"; coupled with the support of Taobao's Double Eleven, the promotion of this movie instantly became a classic in the history of Chinese-language films.

Last year, Taobao launched the Double 11 event for the first time, with sales reaching 1 million yuan on that day.

This year, sales in 2010 increased to 9.36 million yuan.

But the influence is not that great.

But by the next year, Double Eleven instantly became a super node. Taobao's intensive online marketing made the sales of Double Eleven soar to 52 billion, and in 2012 it reached 191 billion yuan.

Under the leadership of Taobao, major e-commerce companies flocked in.

Since then, "Singles' Day" has been "married" with online shopping, the entertainment industry, and offline shopping malls, and has transformed into a bustling "shopping and entertainment festival." Just like the Christmas and Valentine's Day seasons, it is a consumer festival hyped up by capital.

But in recent years, with the recovery of China's economy, ordinary people have enjoyed the days of having a little money for the first time, so the consumption concept has become particularly advanced, and various overdraft consumption and dog-licking economy have begun to rise, so the spring of the film industry has arrived.

The cycle goes on for 10 years, and after 10 years, these tricks will be seen through by the people.

The advanced consumption concept also led to a brief downturn in the economy and entertainment industry.

Whether it can recover or not depends only on the policies in the next cycle.

Anyway, the 2010 years from 2020 to 10 are indeed the super golden age of Chinese films!
Some analysis that Chen Jin has gained from his future autobiographical films during this period.

Therefore, Chen Jin must seize this period and reap the first wave of dividends that originally belonged to Teng Huatao.

"You'll know when the time comes!"

Chen Jin played a guessing game with Guo Xun. He really didn't understand. In fact, apart from Chen Jin, who had a system, no one else in the world knew about the popularity of Double Eleven next year.

"Sorry, Director Guo, Brother Jin, there's a traffic jam on the road!"

Bao Jingjing walked in and greeted the two of them apologetically. She had already started writing the script these days. Of course, Chen Jin let her choose the audition, at least to respect the screenwriter and Wang Ran, the "prototype of the protagonist".

However, the two of them now have great respect for Guo Xun and Chen Jin.

Although Bao Jingjing is carefree, she is generally a straightforward woman. In her heart, she obviously knows the contribution of Guo Xun and Chen Jin to her work.

Coupled with Wang Ran's advice, Lao Wang is now like the two men's younger brother, and the relationship between the three is very close.

Guo Xun hired him as an assistant director, how could Lao Wang not be grateful?
"It's okay, it's okay. We just got here not long ago!"

"Aren't the actors here yet?"

Guo Xun was smiling there.

A little while later, a student from Beijing Film Academy who was invited to guide us knocked on the door and walked in: "Director Guo, Brother Jin, the actors for the audition are here!"

"Row!"

"Then let's get started!"

Chen Jin sat in the middle and spoke.

This time they mainly selected the leading female role.

As for other roles, we will conduct unified auditions before the script is finalized and filming begins.

The female lead in "Love Is Not Blind" is very important, and you need to read the novel in advance to understand this role.

This is why many male and female leading actors start looking for them very early.

They are no different from supporting roles and must be given more time to prepare.

Squeak!

The door of the conference room was gently pushed open, and a tall girl with long hair walked in.

Very beautiful, with good temperament.

"Hello!"

The girl walked to the audition location with ease and handed her file to Chen Jin, who was sitting in the middle.

Yao Xingtong!
This is the right candidate recommended by Nortel.

27 years old, from the class of 01 of Beijing Film Academy, together with Huang Shengyi, Wang Luodan, Jia Yuliang, Yao Di and Ma Su.

The resources are actually very good. I participated in the filming of some film and television dramas, and played major roles, but there was not much response.

Moreover, this girl is very open-minded. She just finished filming a movie "Love Life" in which she was completely nude with Xia Yu and the domineering president Ming Dao.

She is also very beautiful, and later became the leading female role in Jackie Chan's "The Chinese Zodiac", a very famous Dragon Girl.

"Double nomination for Best Actress at the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards?"

"Amazing!"

Guo Xun looked at Yao Xingtong who was sitting there with some surprise. Yao Xingtong smiled slightly and said, "Director, that was a few years ago!"

“That’s a great resume!”

"Wow, the first movie after his debut is a masterpiece directed by Chen Kaige?"

"With You"!
However, she acted in the TV version. The movie was directed by the poet, and his wife Chen Hong used his name in the TV series.

"Have you ever been in love?"

Chen Jin suddenly said.

Yao Xintong suddenly smiled slightly, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, which was indeed a very attractive look.

If Chen Jin had not watched many movies and had life experience, how could an ordinary 18-year-old otaku resist the temptation of such a seemingly pure school beauty face?
Of course, Yao Xintong asked her agent before coming.

I know that the person in front of me is director Zhang Yimou's new actor, the leading actor in "Under the Hawthorn Tree".

He looks really handsome.

I heard that he invested in this movie.

"Yes!"

“Several paragraphs!”

Yao Xingtong spoke softly, yet with a hint of sweetness in her pronunciation.

“Are there any unforgettable ones?”

Chen Jin asked again.

"..."

Yao Xintong didn't know how to answer this question. After thinking about it for a while, he nodded.

"Tell me, how did you get out of this relationship!"

"..."

Guo Xun next to him even gave Chen Jin a thumbs up.

Facing such a beautiful lady, you are really unmoved and just keep stabbing her in the chest.

Pierce the root as deep as possible.

It’s really different to have a girlfriend who loves you wholeheartedly.

Anyway, if it were Director Guo, he would definitely not ask such a question.

How pretty this girl is!
Bao Jingjing and Wang Ran on the side knew why Chen Jin asked this, because the leading female role in "Love Is Not Blind", Huang Xiaoxian, played a role of a person suffering from a broken heart.

A relationship that lasted for 7 years ended, and then I felt heartbroken for 33 days.

Without life experience and an unforgettable love history, it would be impossible to act it out.

“It’s just painful!”

"I spend every day in a daze, lying in bed..."

"..."

Yao Xintong started talking, and Chen Jin listened very carefully, looking at the other person without blinking.

Bao Jingjing and Wang Ran were screenwriters for the first time, so of course they pricked up their ears. Only Guo Xun... kept looking at the girl.

"Senior, Senior, do you have anything else to ask?"

After Yao Xingtong finished speaking, Chen Jin glanced at the two of them.

Guo Xun automatically ignored it. This guy is already a married man, can't he be more restrained?
That’s right, Teacher Guo…got married in 07.

She was also his first love and high school classmate. She used the same innocent tricks as Chen Jin. Now the girl is also in the capital, helping him manage the company he and his partner opened.

Because his wife studied finance and works as an accountant part-time.

"I want to ask, how many years did you have this unforgettable relationship?"

Bao Jingjing started asking.
