Chapter 908 You have been conquered by my domineering spirit

Cheng Guohua held a cloth bag in one hand and a thermos cup in the other, smiling and nodding gently to the staff he met along the way, and slowly walked towards the large conference room.

Today is the first day of the script reading session for Lin Fan's new drama. Normally, script reading sessions don't take very long, one to three days for a more perfunctory one, seven to ten days for a normal one. However, it's hard to say about Lin Fan's new drama.

Because Lin Fan requires all actors, in addition to fully understanding their own roles, to have a clear understanding of the entire story, its background, and subsequent developments.

If it was a story that everyone was familiar with, then it wouldn't be a big problem. But this play, from the setting to the background of the story to every character, was all created by Lin Fan.

More importantly, the script sent to each actor includes not only the final version that has been adapted and can be used directly for filming, but also a classical Chinese version.

this……

So, everyone, just come and participate in the script reading.

If you don't participate, you're afraid that your understanding of the role is completely wrong. You've finally gotten the role after going through so much trouble, and you don't want to be eliminated just because you don't understand the role when filming is about to start.

Especially, if I ended up on Lin Fan's blacklist because of this, I would regret it to death.

Therefore, when Cheng Guohua stepped into the conference room, he found that all the actors had come, and together with the staff, the entire conference room was packed.

"Hey, Mr. Cheng is here!" People at the scene greeted Cheng Guohua one after another.

"Hello, Teacher Cheng!"

"Congratulations, Mr. Cheng, for achieving the title of Best Actor in a Billion-Dollar Film Awards!"

Cheng Guohua responded cheerfully, "I'm here. You all came so early. Hello, hello. I remember you. You are Lao Xu's student! What billionaire male supporting actor? I just took advantage of Director Lin and was led by him! As long as you act well, if you can get Director Lin's guidance, you will gain a lot!"

Yes, Cheng Guohua played important supporting roles in three of Lin Fan’s films, and along with Lin Fan, he also became a member of the 10 billion box office club.

This was like a pie falling from the sky, landing right into Cheng Guohua's mouth.

There were countless people in the circle who were jealous and envious of Cheng Guohua, and at the same time secretly regretted why they didn't recommend themselves when Lin Fan was filming his first movie and looking for actors everywhere.

If I had been more proactive and shameless, would I have achieved a billion now? Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in this world.

Once Lin Fan has established himself in this circle, it will not be so easy to join Lin Fan's crew.

After all, Lin Fan is well-known for being nostalgic. He likes to use familiar actors, and he also wants to bring in newcomers from his own company before recruiting from outsiders.

Although it seems that open competition for roles is a very fair thing, because every actor has a chance. However, it is very difficult to stand out from a crowd of actors and successfully get a role.

If those actors have this kind of ability, then why would they be worried about not having any movies to shoot? Therefore, the actors who can appear in this conference room are either Lin Fan's favorites or talented actors. Everyone wants to make a good movie, and the bad habits in the entertainment industry do not exist here.

Everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

Until Lin Fan walked in, the laughter suddenly disappeared and the atmosphere at the scene became inexplicably tense.

Lin Fan couldn't help but complain: "My acting skills are so good. I haven't even gotten into the role yet, but you've already been conquered by my domineering aura?"

Cheng Guohua smiled and said, "Isn't it? Your Majesty is so majestic that we are in awe."

As soon as Cheng Guohua opened his mouth, his clear and melodious pronunciation, profound dialogue skills, and ups and downs of tone immediately won him a round of praise.

Lin Fan couldn't help but praise: "Every time I listen to Mr. Cheng's lines, I feel it is a kind of enjoyment. Everyone should learn more from Mr. Cheng. My requirements are not high. I will be satisfied if everyone has 60% of Mr. Cheng's ability."

"Ah~" everyone wailed.

"I feel like I'm about as far away from 60% of Mr. Cheng's dialogue skills as China."

"Director Lin, let's make a deal, 50%? I can still try hard at 50%, but 60% is really too difficult!"

Lai Siu-tung also followed suit: "Brother Fan, please let me go. Otherwise, I will pay for my role dubbing myself?"

Lin Fan readily agreed: "Sure, if the lines are not up to standard, you have to pay for the dubbing yourself! The finance department will make a note of it and deduct it from their pay!"

The staff responded loudly: "Okay!"

Everyone turned their eyes to Li Xiaodong.

Lai Siu-tung also realized how much "loss" his talk had caused to everyone. To avoid everyone's condemning gazes, he slid down from his chair little by little, and shrank under the table, leaving only a pair of palms exposed, and made a "kowtow" gesture on the conference table.

"I was wrong, I was really wrong! To make up for my mistake, I'll give everyone a chicken drumstick in their lunch boxes today!"

"You want to be forgiven for a chicken drumstick?"

"Then, add another egg?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Um?"

…

After some bargaining, Li Xiaodong finally treated everyone to hotpot at noon, and the matter was temporarily over.

However, after this period of commotion, everyone's relationship has obviously become closer. Lai Siu-tung is indeed a person who is committed to being a comedian, and livening up the atmosphere has always been his forte.

Lin Fan also felt that everyone was not so nervous anymore, and then they officially entered today's script reading session.

As the name suggests, group reading means that everyone gathers together to read the script.

The so-called script reading is a method between the script and the formal performance or performance. The formal performance requires all the costumes and props to be in place, and attention must also be paid to the movement of the camera and the scheduling of the scenes, but this is not necessary for the script reading.

The actors only need to read the script lines of their own roles, while the narrative scenes and narration will be read by the on-site staff, so the script reading is also called script reading meeting, script study, reading meeting, etc.

In general, formal script readings are attended by not only the main actors and the director team, but also producers, screenwriters, art directors and other staff.

Everyone reads and listens at the same time. If any problems are found in the process, they can be raised on the spot, and the director and screenwriter will discuss and revise them with everyone.

The whole process, in addition to helping the actors understand the roles and the entire script, is also conducive to communication between crew members who are not familiar with each other and improves their ability to collaborate with each other.

In today's entertainment industry, there are not many crews that can do a good job of book reading sessions, and there are even fewer stars who can seriously participate in book reading sessions.

It’s simple, this circle has gone bad!

However, Lin Fan is a rare director who always insists on holding book reading sessions. Actors and staff who have participated in Lin Fan's films and TV series are very aware of the importance Lin Fan attaches to book reading sessions.

However, Lin Fan had another reason for attending today's script reading.
