Chapter 60: Fighting for a role
The audition went smoothly and Hou Ye was very satisfied with Lu Yuqi. His only request was that he wanted Lu Yuqi, who looked rather muscular, to be thinner and look a little more frail. However, when Lu Yuqi stood next to Sheng Zuo, he immediately looked much thinner.
"As a second-generation rich man with a lot of flair, it seems reasonable for him to have a good figure. The screenwriter and photographer can add a shot of him exercising, which will better illustrate his status as a second-generation rich man with a lot of flair." He turned around and said to Lu Yuqi, "I heard that you have a very good figure. Do you mind showing it off in the drama? Not too much, just the upper body."
Lu Yuqi said that this request was no problem and it depends on the director's needs.
"Very good, don't worry, I will definitely take a very handsome photo of you!" After saying that, Hou Ye patted Lu Yuqi's shoulder to reassure Lu Yuqi.
It's a very handsome way of showing off!
Both parties were very satisfied with each other so they signed the contract on the spot. Lu Yuqi thought that after signing the contract, he just had to wait for the notification to join the crew, but he received a call from Hou Ye. He made it very clear on the phone that because of the investor, he now needs to audition again. This time the investor recommended someone, and another audition was also to give face to the investor. He hoped that Lu Yuqi could understand him and let Lu Yuqi rest assured that the role would not change in the end and would still be Lu Yuqi's.
Regarding this kind of thing, Liu Jiahe told Lu Yuqi to just play normally. Since Hou Ye said that the role is still his, then this matter is purely to give face to the investor. It's no big deal. Lu Yuqi is still very weak now and has not grown to the point where he needs to act for your face.
Unexpectedly, the person who snatched the role was an acquaintance, Lu Yuqi’s former teammate - Ran Ran.
"Yuqi, long time no see. I didn't expect that Director Hou Ye chose you for this role. I'm so sorry. Producer Zhang told me that there is a role that is very suitable for me and he must let me give it a try. If I had known it was your role, I would not have come." After not seeing each other for a long time, Ran Ran's tea art skills were not much more proficient.
"Then you can also tell Producer Zhang that you are quitting now." Xiao Chen on the side also cooperated very well and took out the recording and played what Ran Ran had just said.
Lu Yuqi would not be polite to Ran Ran, that was exactly what he wanted.
"You!" Ran Ran's face twitched slightly. He didn't expect to be recorded by Xiao Chen. It took him a lot of effort to get in touch with Producer Zhang and get him to agree to give him the role. I didn't expect that this role had already been assigned by the director. Producer Zhang also took out his identity as a producer and asked director Hou Ye to give him an audition opportunity.
Lu Yuqi knew that Ran Ran would never change his bad habits. He always acted like he was the most innocent, saying that everything was told to him by others and that others told him to do things, and he knew nothing about it. It was disgusting to see him like that after seeing it for a long time. It was really disgusting to see a man always acting so petty.
Lu Yuqi was too lazy to talk too much nonsense with him and was both upright and responsible.
The audition was very simple. It was just a matter of randomly picking a plot to be performed. Hou Ye tore open the script in front of them and scattered the pages of paper randomly. He reached out and picked up a page of paper.
Hou Ye looked down and said, "It's okay. It's a rich second-generation plot."
"To prevent unfairness, I will draw the audition clips on the spot. Lu Yuqi will act directly and Ran Ran will have ten minutes to prepare. After all, Lu Yuqi is the actor I have chosen and I have already given him the script, so I won't give him time to prepare." After saying that, he turned to Ran Ran and said, "Do you have any objections?"
At this time, Ran Ran didn't dare to have any opinions, because he could see that the director was dissatisfied with him.
"No objection, I'll listen to the director." Ran Ran answered a little stiffly, and couldn't help cursing in his heart! What? This is completely different from what was agreed upon, and this is much more than the plot he knew! Is this director an idiot? This is how you play it!
Ran Ran had bribed the crew members before and knew the general plot and the clips from the last audition. The bribed crew members told him that the audition clips would still be prepared by him.
I didn't expect Hou Ye would actually tear up the script on the spot!
The audition result was not surprising, Lu Yuqi's acting skills crushed Ran Ran. After watching the two people's audition performances, Producer Zhang felt a little embarrassed. He thought he was introducing a new actor, but he didn't expect them to stare and scream. What kind of acting is this? Is it a scary acting?
Hou Ye also said in his heart, haha, what a little brat! Don't think he doesn't know that some people are cunning and he always has ways to deal with them.
After the audition, Ran Ran felt a little embarrassed and left after saying hello. Producer Zhang also wanted to leave, but was stopped by Hou Ye: "Producer Zhang, you are too honest. Did the newcomer tell you that he had a dream but was suppressed and wanted a chance? You are helping him to fight for it. How many times have you said this, and every time you were deceived!"
"Oh, I just can't bear it!" Although Producer Zhang thanked Hou Ye for giving him an excuse, he was also furious inside. Didn't this also reveal his previous mistakes in randomly inserting people? I knew Hou Ye was not an easy person to deal with.
"Next time, if you are being soft-hearted, ask me more questions!"
"Of course, of course." Director Zhang said and left quickly. He really didn't want to stay even a moment longer.
"Xiao Zhang!" Hou Ye called his assistant.
"Brother Hou."
"Return the money invested by Producer Zhang."
"Ah! Brother Hou, Producer Zhang invested a lot of money? 8 million!"
Hearing this amount, Hou Ye frowned and said, "He has withdrawn. He can't get this role today. You can just wait and see. We have to squeeze other minor roles into the crew."
"You've already hit him."
"Is he such a shameless person?"
Producer Zhang, who felt a little embarrassed by being ridiculed by Hou Ye, slapped Ran Ran in the face as soon as he got in the car: "You talked so much and ended up embarrassing me! This is your exaggerated acting skills!"
Ran Ran covered his face and looked at Producer Zhang in disbelief. Is this Producer Zhang who is generally recognized in the circle for his good temper? Just do it when you say it.
Ran Ran's acting skills were really the worst Zhang had ever seen, yet he still dared to instigate him to help him snatch roles, especially after he lost face in front of Hou Ye. Hou Ye was not an easy person to get along with, and he would definitely ridicule him when he got the chance in the future.
Producer Zhang was getting angrier and angrier as he watched Ran Ran, who had embarrassed him!
Ran Ran looked at Producer Zhang, whose eyes were blazing with anger. He didn't care if he would be beaten again, and hurriedly approached Producer Zhang, with his hands naturally placed on Producer Zhang's legs: "Don't be angry! My acting skills today were not good enough. I thought it was just an ordinary rich second-generation role, but I didn't expect there would be a lot of fighting scenes later. You know me. I am so afraid of pain, I will definitely not be able to hold on when the time comes. Wouldn't that be even more embarrassing for you?"
After listening to Ran Ran's explanation, Producer Zhang felt better. Although he knew that Ran Ran was making excuses, it was okay to see such a well-behaved person being so humble in front of him. Thinking of Ran Ran's obedient appearance in bed, the anger in my heart was also
The fire was covered up.
Before anything further could be done here, Producer Zhang received a call from his assistant, saying that Hou Ye had directly returned his initial investment.
Producer Zhang was so angry that he smashed his phone!
Everyone knows that Hou Ye’s commercial films always make money! Producer Zhang originally wanted to delay the signing of the contract as his funds were not fully in place, and he also wanted to delay it to have some say. He didn't expect that this would completely backfire on him! Even though Hou Ye returned his initial investment, he didn't get any compensation. He was completely digging his own grave!
Just now I looked at Ran Ran with a little desire
The fire is now only filled with anger! Producer Zhang directly asked the driver to pull over, kicked Ran Ran out of the car, and told Ran Ran not to appear in front of him again, otherwise he would make him pay!
