Global Film Emperor: I film just to finish the movie!

Chapter 70 [070] Boss Su (Subscribe)

Su Ding did not copy all the main creators of "Love Apartment".

Lu Zhanbo and Lin Wanyu, these two characters do not exist in his version.

There are only four male protagonists, Zeng Xiaoxian, Lu Ziqiao, Guan Gu Shenqi, and Zhang Wei.

There are three female protagonists, Hu Yifei, Chen Meijia, and Tang Youyou, as well as the second female protagonists Qin Yumo and Nuolan, and the third female protagonist Zhuge Dali.

The main roles are concentrated in the first three.

Other minor supporting roles will be randomly determined.

……

"By the way, Lao Su, I have something to tell you."

When they were almost done eating, Huang Yuanhe put down his chopsticks, looked at Su Ding, and said seriously, "I'm planning to turn down the role in 'The Departed'. The same goes for Lao Zhao, the squad leader, and the others. They're not going to act anymore and will focus on 'iPartment'."

"Are you serious?" Su Ding drank his soup without saying anything else, just asked simply.

"seriously."

Huang Yuanhe nodded, "We've thought about it carefully. If it weren't for 'iPartment', playing a small background role in 'The Departed' would have been a respectable resume. But with 'iPartment', even if I don't become a star, at least I can definitely find a place in the industry and make a living."

"Of course, in the end, no matter what, it's our own choice."

"Just think it over carefully." Su Ding nodded. "With the support fund and Blue Whale's investment, the crew will not be short of money. You all have to take your pay. Don't be polite. Don't refuse this money."

"Okay." Huang Yuanhe said with a smile, "Thank you, Boss Su."

"It's not my money, thank you?" Su Ding gave him a disdainful look. "I'll pay you for your hard work after the series is sold. Before the crew finishes filming, none of you laborers can escape."

"Brother, you've changed." Upon hearing this, Huang Yuanhe sighed with a hurt look on his face. "It's only been a few days since we last met, and you've already turned into a black-hearted capitalist. Be careful not to get slapped with a sack."

"Don't worry, I can easily take care of three or four thugs with my bare hands." Su Ding responded calmly.

Huang Yuanhe, “…”

"Damn it, I forgot you know Kung Fu!"

……

Joking aside, the pay of Huang Yuanhe and others is not that high. The average salary for a newcomer is tens of thousands of yuan.

The lowest is 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, and the highest is no more than 50,000 or 60,000 yuan, and that is the package price for a single drama.

For grassroots artists, the amount of pay is not a big deal; being able to act and sing is the key.

There are those who accompany you to eat, drink, sleep, and even give you money.

Even with this, you may not be able to make it in the end.

……

After meal.

Su Ding followed Huang Yuanhe to meet the director of "Love Apartment", Zhou Zhen, who also graduated from Jinling Academy of Arts and was two years older than them.

"Hello, Mr. Su."

Zhou Zhen, a man of regular appearance and average height, wearing black-framed glasses, saw Su Ding and greeted him with a slightly reserved smile, "Boss Su, please come this way."

"Just call me Su Ding, senior." Su Ding said gently and followed Zhou Zhen into the studio.

The set is already being set up in the rented studio.

The bedrooms, living rooms, and bars frequented by several tenants of "Love Apartment".

Very simple.

"...Su Ding, what do you think of these rooms? Do they fit the scenes in the drama?" Zhou Zhen followed the advice and pointed to a similarly decorated girl's bedroom in a cozy style and asked Su Ding for advice.

"can."

Su Ding nodded. "Thank you for your hard work, senior. 'Love Apartment' will start filming after the New Year, on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. Is that okay?"

"No problem, in fact, the third year of junior high school will be enough." Zhou Zhen was a little excited.

Only after entering society and being oppressed can one understand the importance of opportunity.

After graduation, he couldn't even get a chance to be a director of a movie or TV series, let alone an advertising director or a short play director, and he couldn't even get a job as an assistant director.

When Huang Yuanhe came to see him, Zhou Zhen wanted to kneel down to Su Ding on the spot.

Don’t think it’s an exaggeration. If you can direct a movie by kneeling, a lot of people will rush to kneel.

"Then wait until everyone is gathered, and you can discuss it. It can be the eighth or the third day of the New Year, whichever you prefer." Su Ding said readily.

"Okay~" Zhou Zhen smiled.

"Boss Zhou, are you so happy? Your teeth are showing." Huang Yuanhe frowned.

"Go, go, what boss? I'm Director Zhou." Zhou Zhen quickly stopped, "Su Ding is the boss. Hello, Boss Su!"

“Hmm~”

Huang Yuanhe despised.

……

After walking around the studio, Su Ding called Zhou Zhen and Huang Yuanhe to go for the interview together.

After receiving my salary in the morning, I went out to do some shopping, then rushed back to act as an assistant, helping to maintain order during registration.

"Hello, Director, hello, senior. My name is Hu Xingxing, and I'm a junior this year."

The first boy who came in bowed to Su Ding and the other two and shouted a little nervously.

"Hello, this is the scene you are going to perform. Is five minutes ok for you to prepare?" Huang Yuanhe handed over a piece of paper.

"Okay, okay." Hu Xingxing nodded quickly, took a few steps forward, took the paper, and looked down at it.

Soon, five minutes passed.

"Director, senior, I'm ready." Hu Xingxing took a deep breath and walked to the center of the room and stood still.

"Let's start." Zhou Zhen said.

Hu Xingxing's expression changed. He sat on the stool, put one hand to his ear, as if touching the headset, and pushed a button forward with the other hand. He smiled and said, "My dear listeners, I am a good man. I am a good man. I am... Zeng Xiaoxian."

"Welcome to continue listening to "Your Moon, My Heart"..."

Hu Xingxing is acting very hard, very dedicated and putting in a lot of effort.

But it's too serious.

Su Ding didn't say anything, but just drew an X on the white paper in front of the table.

Huang Yuanhe glanced at him but didn't speak immediately. He waited until Hu Xingxing finished performing before saying, "Thank you, junior. I'm sorry you didn't meet our expectations. But we have quite a few small guest roles in our crew. If you're interested, you can come back to school early after the New Year and come over here."

"Okay, thank you, Senior Huang!"

Hu Xingxing quickly bowed and said gratefully, "I will return to school in the second grade!"

"There's no need to come so early." Huang Yuanhe persuaded with a smile.

Hu Xingxing waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, then walked out of the room happily.

Generally, after the audition, if the actor is not chosen, they will say they will think about it and let him go back and wait for news.

But the crew of "Love Apartment" is too small and they are from the same school, so there is no need to do all this.

After Hu Xingxing left, the second boy walked into the room after signing up for Gaoneng.

Still given a scene and five minutes to prepare.

As a result, I was too nervous and couldn't speak my lines clearly, so I eliminated myself.

The third one was well acted, but too vulgar.

The fourth one is too serious.

Fifth, the body shape does not suit the situation and is too burly.

The sixth, the seventh...

Half an afternoon passed quickly, and no one met the requirements.

All were informed of the results on the spot, and their reactions varied.

Some were depressed, some were lost, some had red eyes, and some even cried out loud.

Of course, there were also some who gave in. When they heard they were eliminated, they started cursing, calling the crew a "three-no" little crew. What the hell, just wait for their failure!
Su Ding never said anything and let Huang Yuanhe and Zhou Zhen handle it.

At around four o'clock, Qiao Jianfei, recommended by the class teacher Lao He, rushed to the scene.

"Hello, Senior Brother, this is your part."

Huang Yuanhe treated everyone equally and handed Qiao Jianfei a piece of paper. "Five minutes to prepare, okay?"

Qiao Jianfei, whose hair was a little messy, his face was rough, his skin was dark, and he had severe dark circles under his eyes, nodded silently.

After taking the paper, he stood up and looked down.

Ever since Qiao Jianfei walked in, Su Ding had been observing him.

Qiao Jianfei looked like he had been staying up late, and at first he thought it was because of the bad economy and poor living conditions, but as he watched, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

When Qiao Jianfei put away the paper and looked up to start performing, Su Ding stared into his eyes and indeed found something unusual.

The pupils were constricted, the eyeballs were red, the hands were shaking, and the patient was a little excited. Although it was for a performance, the overall symptoms clearly showed that there was a problem.

"it is good!"

As soon as Qiao Jianfei finished his performance, Huang Yuanhe clapped his hands and said happily, "Brother, your performance was fantastic. You brought out Zeng Xiaoxian's main characteristics and charm. This character..."

"We still need to consider this role carefully. Brother, it's a rare opportunity for you to come back. Take a good walk around the school tonight and try the new dishes in the cafeteria." Su Ding interrupted, "We will call you before 8 o'clock to let you know the final result."

“…”Qiao Jianfei nodded silently, turned and left.

Wait until the person goes out.

Huang Yuanhe, who hadn't interrupted, frowned and asked, "Old Su, what's going on? Qiao Jianfei's acting is very good, and it fits the character setting of Zeng Xiaoxian very well."

"He is not suitable." Su Ding responded calmly.

"What's wrong with it?" Huang Yuanhe pressed. "If you don't explain clearly, I'll get to the bottom of it. I've been auditioning for an entire afternoon, and Qiao Jianfei is the most suitable."

"Well, maybe it's because Qiao Jianfei's performance was a little too lively?" Zhou Zhen explained.

"What's wrong with being active?" Huang Yuanhe disagreed, "Zeng Xiaoxian is always lively and active..."

"I suspect he took drugs." Su Ding interrupted calmly.

"So what if I took drugs..."

Huang Yuanhe subconsciously retorted, but just as he was about to speak, he suddenly realized what was happening. He stared at Su Ding with wide eyes and asked in astonishment, "You said he was on drugs?"

Zhou Zhen was also confused at first, then stunned, and finally stammered, "No... no way?"

"Whether it's true or not, I can't be sure."

Su Ding calmly explained, "But his external features, from his skin to his fingers to his eyes, are all wrong. 'iPartment' is a small crew, it's not easy to put together, and it can't withstand risks. It's better not to use an actor who seems to be taking drugs."

"Right, right, right." Zhou Zhen quickly agreed, gritting his teeth and saying, "I'd rather choose someone with average acting skills than have someone ruin the whole show."

Shen Guangyao's downfall caused "White Moonlight" to be taken off the shelves, and he had to re-record the song, which didn't cost much.

But if a series is taken off the air, it will cost more money to reshoot it.

Su Ding doesn't want to gamble.

Even though this actor was recommended by our class teacher, Lao He.

"Hey~"

Huang Yuanhe sighed, "What a pity, Qiao Jianfei's acting is fine, it's really good, but..."

"No buts." Su Ding interrupted, "I'll talk to the teacher about this."

Just talking about the head teacher.

Lao He called.

beep~
Su Ding answered the call, "Master..."

"I'm sorry, Su Ding, I've caused you trouble. Qiao Jianfei is not suitable."
