Chapter 150 Waste Recycling Station
These directors are all experienced people with many works under their belt. Many auditioners were rejected as unsuitable as soon as they came on stage. The auditions had only been going on for two hours, and most of the people who came to audition had been eliminated by them.
Just when the director and assistant director thought that the Huada Drama Club might not gain anything from this trip, Su Leyun took the lead.
As soon as Su Leyun stood there, before he even started talking, the director and the assistant director's eyes lit up. They looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts.
Su Leyun was about to perform a short segment of the script he was rehearsing when the director asked him directly, "Student, what is your name?"
Su Leyun stood upright, with his hands behind his back, and said neither servilely nor arrogantly: "My name is Su Leyun."
Su Leyun's voice still had the warmth and clarity that only a teenager could have. The assistant director nodded in satisfaction and leaned close to the director's ear and lowered his voice: "This is great! The voice is nice too, and we can save on dubbing later!"
Qiao Xiaoxiao also noticed that the two were very interested in Su Leyun, and quickly introduced him: "Su Leyun is a freshman in the Department of Media Studies, and you, the director, are his direct senior."
The director looked at Su Leyun more favorably: "No wonder this student is so smart." He turned around and exchanged glances with the assistant director: "I think we have the same idea."
The assistant director nodded, stood up and said, "Dear students, thank you for coming. Su Leyun completely meets our expectations for the role. Today's selection is over."
After losing to Su Leyun, the other students were convinced and everyone applauded to congratulate them, but Su Leyun, the protagonist, was still confused: Huh? Am I chosen now? What did I perform?
Gao Yuan's audition order was right after Su Leyun. He was originally preparing to go on stage with full confidence, but now he froze in place, wondering if there was something wrong with his ears. Another assistant director in charge of casting was also shocked.
He quickly said, "Director, why did you choose like this? There are many excellent people behind us, let's wait and see!"
He turned around and winked at Gao Yuan, who finally came to his senses. He hurriedly ran to several directors and began to express his loyalty: "Senior, I am your loyal fan. My dream is to work with you. Please give me a chance!"
"This kid is so sincere, just give him a chance!"
The director looked at Gao Yuan in front of him and inevitably compared him with Su Leyun who was standing next to him. Except for the slight advantage in height, Gao Yuan was inferior to Su Leyun in every other aspect.
But acting is not like long jumping, height is not that important, so Gao Yuan has no advantage at all.
The director shook his head and refused without any hesitation: "I'm sorry, this student's image doesn't quite meet our casting requirements. I hope we can have a chance to work together again in the future."
The director had already said it very tactfully, but Gao Yuan still seemed not to understand. He tried hard to get a chance to audition, and the assistant casting director also spoke for him.
The director couldn't refuse the assistant casting director, so he agreed to let Gao Yuan demonstrate, but his tone was already a little impatient: "Okay, I'll give you five minutes."
Turning back, he looked at Su Leyun with admiration in his eyes. He brought a chair for Su Leyun and placed it between himself and the assistant director. He whispered, "Come on, Su Leyun, sit with us and watch! I'll tell you about our script later!"
Given the director's attitude towards Su Leyun, is there any need for me to fight for him?
Gao Yuan suddenly wilted, but the assistant casting director glared at him, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and start his performance.
Probably because he had lost confidence, and Gao Yuan's acting skills were not that good to begin with, he messed up the audition opportunity he had finally won. The director and several other assistant directors all had frowned faces, and even the assistant casting director who had been speaking well of him had an expression that showed he couldn't bear to watch.
After finally waiting until the performance was over, the activity room was greeted with an awkward silence that lasted for more than ten seconds. Finally, the assistant director spoke up: "Student, your most important task now is to study."
What this means is that you are not suitable for acting and should stop messing around.
The director looked at the assistant casting director helplessly: "Assistant Director Gao, is this the person you recommended? This is not your level!"
Su Leyun smiled imperceptibly.
Gao Yuan was so sure that he would be chosen, in addition to his blind confidence in himself, it was also inseparable from his relationship with Deputy Director Gao - his father was Deputy Director Gao's cousin, and the two had the same blood flowing in their bodies. Naturally, for such a rich and famous person in the entertainment industry to be chosen, family members would be considered first.
Su Leyun blinked his eyes, as if he had discovered something interesting: "So this person's surname is Gao, the same as Gao Yuan's. What a coincidence! The surname Gao doesn't seem to be very common in Kyoto."
Gao Yuan glared at him: The smell of tea is about to overflow, shut up!
The director was no freeloader, his expression turned cold: "Assistant Director Gao, this will not happen again! If this happens again, our crew will not be able to accommodate a big Buddha like you!"
In fact, it is not uncommon to cram people into the crew. A movie of several hours needs some actors, so people usually turn a blind eye to it.
But you can’t cram everyone in! His crew is not a recycling station!
When Deputy Director Gao's little thoughts were laid out in the open and spoken out, his face turned pale and black, but he didn't dare to disobey the director's wishes, so he quickly nodded and promised.
Seeing his dream of becoming a star shattered, Gao Yuan panicked and rushed over to grab Deputy Director Gao's arm, almost crying: "Uncle, we already agreed on this, please help me put in a few words for the director!"
Deputy Director Gao's expression became even uglier.
Although everyone knew what Gao Yuan was doing, no one pointed him out by name. Yet he came up to me and called me "uncle". Didn't this just prove that he was engaging in nepotism in the crew?
He was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "You are really as stupid as a pig! I really don't know how you got into Hua University! Didn't you hear me? The director told you to go back and study hard! Don't embarrass me here!"
Deputy Director Gao left angrily and Gao Yuan quickly followed him.
The director and other assistant directors didn't care and pulled Su Leyun aside to start explaining the script.
When they returned to the dormitory at night, Su Leyun told Chu Yanxiao about today's audition. Chu Yanxiao was not surprised at all that Su Leyun had successfully auditioned. He was more concerned about Su Leyun's choice: "So have you decided to agree?"
