Chapter 405: Basically the same
Finally, at 12 o'clock, the morning audition came to an end, and Gao Mi asked Yun Zijin:
"Miss Yun, did you find anything promising just now?"
Although Yun Zijin said that she would not interfere with the crew's selection of cast, Gao Mi could not really ignore all his opinions.
Taking the initiative to ask also shows his respect for Yun Zijin.
"As for the female lead, there are a few who meet the standards. I've marked them here, you can take them back and take a look.
But I’m not a professional after all, so I don’t know if my choice is right.”
Anyway, those are the people she chose. As for what Gao Mi will choose, Yun Zijin doesn't care.
Professionals do professional things. Yun Zijin just wanted to come and take a look at these people. Before finally selecting someone, he would definitely have to do another background check.
Otherwise, with the current high rate of film scandals, Yun Zijin was afraid that an actor would suddenly be exposed in a scandal halfway through filming.
This is all her hard-earned money!
We have to find other actors for reshoots, and if the scenes are gone, the transitions will definitely be a mess.
Thinking about that situation, Yun Zijin felt a headache.
"Miss Yun's vision is definitely good. Don't worry, I will definitely take your opinions into consideration."
After saying that, Gao Mi picked up the stack of resumes that Yun Zijin handed to him, and his eyes lit up when he saw a lot of notes on them.
He thought that Yun Zijin had just chosen a few people who left a deep impression on him, but he didn't expect that she took careful notes on each of them, and then based on the notes, she screened out the candidates she wanted.
Gao Mi looked through Yun Zijin's notes again, and the person Yun Zijin chose was basically the same as the one he had in mind.
Now, Gao Mi not only respected Yun Zijin as an investor, but was also moved by Yun Zijin's seriousness.
Nowadays, there are very few investors as responsible as Yun Zijin.
Not to mention, if Yun Zijin was the sole investor, who knows how many people would have to be crammed into the crew.
The entertainment industry today is too impetuous, and not many people are really doing practical work.
"The person Miss Yun chose is pretty much what I expected."
After reading all of Yun Zijin's notes, Gao Mi only said this one sentence, and the other people in the crew also showed surprised expressions.
Obviously, they didn't expect that Yun Zijin, an outsider, had such sharp eyes.
"That's fine. After you finalize the list, send me a copy before notifying the actors.
In order to ensure smooth filming, I need to do a background check on the actors I will be working with."
"Okay! I told them, but no matter how long your investigation takes, this notice needs to be sent out as soon as possible. Otherwise, if it takes too long, I'm afraid the actors won't be able to schedule."
What celebrities need most is exposure. If they cannot join the crew, they have to accept various notices, otherwise they will easily be forgotten by the audience.
"Don't worry, the results will be out in two or three days.
However, in order to avoid having unqualified actors among your selected actors, I suggest you prepare a few more backup candidates when the time comes."
Some people disguise themselves very well in front of others, but are a completely different person in private.
But Yun Zijin has confidence in Meilin's background check skills, and no one can escape Meilin's investigation.
"That's fine. If you can help investigate, I won't have to."
Background checking is a basic operation, but the level of background checking varies from crew to crew.
According to Gao Mi's method, the most he could do was to ask the people these actors had contacted recently, or the paparazzi who had followed them.
After all, his budget is limited, and he can't use it to hire a private detective to investigate.
There are so many actors needed for the entire crew. If he hires private detectives to investigate each of them, he might as well just be a paparazzi and not make any TV dramas.
"I will send you the results of the investigation when the time comes. You must also send me a list of candidates who are unqualified in advance."
Yun Zijin would never allow anyone in her crew to be at risk of having their work ruined midway.
"no problem!"
Yun Zijin's actions reduced his workload, so Gao Mi was of course fully willing to do so.
"The lunch box has arrived!"
The voice of the stage manager was heard, and the crew members started to get their food.
"Miss Yun, would you like to try the crew's box lunches?"
As Gao Mi finished speaking, Yun Zijin's cell phone rang. She made an apologetic expression towards Gao Mi before she picked up the call.
"Hello……"
"I ordered takeout for you from Qingjin Pavilion. It's outside the film and television city right now, but they called and said you need to pick it up yourself."
In film and television cities, many crews' filming needs to be kept confidential, so outsiders are basically not allowed in.
"I understand. I'm going out now. Remember to go eat, otherwise..."
Yun Zijin hadn't finished speaking, but Lu Yunque had already surrendered.
After the two hung up the phone, Gao Mi was still waiting for Yun Zijin.
“Sorry, my boyfriend ordered food for me, so I won’t be eating the crew’s boxed lunch.
If someone orders my copy, and you see if there's anyone else who needs it, give it to them."
Yun Zijin knew that some big eaters could not be filled with just one box lunch.
"Ah! Okay then, do you want me to find someone to go out with you?"
"No, I have someone with me."
Lingyi and the others usually hide their presence like shadow guards, and will appear at the first moment when Yun Zijin needs them.
Hearing Yun Zijin say this, Gao Mi didn't force it. He went to get the lunch boxes from the crew and found a place to eat.
Yun Zijin followed the direction in his memory and walked out of the entrance of the film and television city. He saw someone wearing the Qingjin Pavilion waiter uniform at a glance.
The waiter at Qingjin Pavilion knew Yun Zijin, and when he saw Yun Zijin coming out, he hurried over with a lunch box and said, "Miss Yun, this is the lunch that Mr. Lu ordered for you.
Please sign here to confirm receipt."
The waiter handed Yun Zijin a bill.
Yun Zijin took a quick look at the content, confirmed that there was no problem, and signed it.
"Thank you, and enjoy your meal."
After saying that, he ran back quickly.
Yun Zijin returned to the crew with the food box. Many people saw the food box in Yun Zijin's hand. Some of the brave ones even stretched their necks to see what dishes were in the food box.
Yun Zijin ignored the gazes of others and borrowed a small table and stool from someone in the crew, and sat down to have lunch today.
Gao Mi was not far away. He saw Yun Zijin eating alone and came over with his lunch box.
However, after sitting down, I saw Yun Zijin's lunch and then looked at my own, and suddenly I felt that the boxed lunch was not delicious.
"Want to eat?"
Gao Mi's expression just now could not be hidden from Yun Zijin.
"Haha, it looks like this isn't cheap. The crew doesn't have the budget for it."
Although 30 million seems like a lot, it’s not easy to spend when you actually spend it.
"I didn't ask you to use the budget. I'll treat you. As an investor, it's okay for me to treat the crew to a meal, right?"
"Of course not!"
Since Yun Zijin was willing to treat him, Gao Mi certainly wouldn't refuse.
Moreover, not everyone can reserve a private room in Qingjin Pavilion.
