Chapter 189 Changing Teams
Seeing Deng Zimo pestering him again and again, Thompson became a little impatient.
"Sorry, please go back."
At that moment, all the persistence in Deng Zimo's eyes disappeared. He knew that it was useless to continue to pester.
I could only bow sadly and leave.
As a purely human being, this wasn't the first time he had been turned away.
But it was the first time I had the opportunity to audition for a role.
Although he came from a poor family, he loved to act out the life in the stories and acted out his own stories in front of the mirror when he was young.
When I grew up, in addition to being an extra, I would also record some imitation clips on Starnet.
However, he never imitates the script verbatim, but instead interprets his own understanding based on the role.
I have been chasing my dream for ten years, but there has been no improvement.
It’s not that there are no directors who appreciate him, but they all give up on choosing him because he is a purely human being. At most, they give him a cannon fodder role with one or two shots, and nothing more.
In order to prove that his body can really take it, he has been doing heavy and tiring work in the past few years.
To be honest, even these hard labor jobs were difficult for him to find.
Because under the same circumstances, the basic principle is to choose orcs with better physical fitness rather than pure humans who look weak.
If he didn't only want one tenth of other people's salary, he probably wouldn't even be able to find a job.
During the day, he does hard work to keep fit, and at night he takes on some academic problem-solving orders on the Star Network to earn money to buy medicine.
I also have to take time out to act as an extra in my spare time.
So he is really busy and tired, and sometimes he doesn't even know what he is insisting on.
Even he himself couldn't tell whether he was unwilling or really liked it.
I originally thought that in this life, it would be good enough if I could rely on my abilities to play a small supporting role.
After all, the supporting role has fewer shots, so even if something really happens to him, the loss of replacing him won't be too great.
But there is still a risk. If they don’t have a good relationship, no director would be willing to give him such an opportunity.
For a minor supporting role, good acting skills are just icing on the cake, and poor acting skills are not a big deal.
There's no need to add risk.
So when he came to audition today, he actually knew that his hope was slim, but he is a human being who never gives up until he hits a wall.
Thinking that the possibility was not high anyway, he did not choose to play a supporting role.
Instead, he followed his heart and chose his favorite character, Cheng Yong.
It’s exciting that his performance has been recognized.
The despairing thing is that he is purely human.
A refusal reason enough to sentence him to death.
After walking out of the door of Tianwen Entertainment, Deng Zimo didn’t know where to go.
I originally wanted to be decadent, go on strike, and stop doing that exhausting work.
But self-discipline has been ingrained in my bones, and I feel uncomfortable all over when I think about going home and lying down to do nothing.
In the end, he calmed down and returned to work.
***
The auditions here are still going on.
After Deng Zimo left, many male actors auditioned for the role of Cheng Yong.
But because of the excellent performance, everyone felt that the male actor behind him was always lacking in eye acting.
Seeing the silence, the assistant director jokingly said, "I think the actor named Lucy is quite good."
The fact is that he accepted bribes from the actor and agreed to help by saying a few good words of recommendation.
As for whether you can be selected, there is no guarantee.
After all, Lan Yuyan had already warned them that no one was allowed to interfere with Jiang Qin's work.
Even if there is a need to give face to a partner, it cannot be arranged directly. You have to communicate with him first, and then he will communicate with Jiang Qin.
If someone acts on their own, they will be responsible for settling the matter themselves, and Tianwen will not intervene.
So this time, he accepted the benefits but didn't dare to say anything final.
Thinking of this, he felt a little annoyed.
As an assistant director, his salary and bonuses were not high to begin with, and he relied on these kickbacks to maintain his high consumption level.
Most other people turned a blind eye to this situation, after all, that's what everyone did.
As a result, someone who was not allowed to fish came, and he was arranged to come here.
If he hadn't been optimistic about this work, he would have found an excuse to run away long ago.
Thompson also had some impression of Lucy. "She is really good. There is nothing wrong with her acting skills. She has a high traffic volume and a stable fan base."
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Qin, "What do you think, Miss Jiang?"
Jiang Qin was silent for a moment and then said, "Let's not decide on Cheng Yong yet, let's decide on the other characters first."
She handed Thompson the list she had just selected.
“You guys prepare the other chores first, I’ll choose the role of Cheng Yong.
Then it’s filming, and this film is crucial, so I’ll be there the whole time.”
Thompson didn't expect this to happen. He felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything to her face.
He just turned around and looked for Lan Yuyan.
"Boss Lan, a team can only have one person in charge. If there are two, something bad will happen.
I can understand why Ms. Jiang values her work, but how it is filmed is the director's job. It's too much for her to even interfere in this.
Either you give her her own team, or I quit and you let her take the lead."
Lan Yuyan explained: “She didn’t mean to interfere, she just followed along.
And if there are any shortcomings in the filming, I hope you will listen to her. After all, she is the original author and knows her work better. "
"Even so, I still can't accept that I've been making films for 30 years and no one has ever taught me how to make them.
I have always been the one guiding others on how to shoot.
Now you let a junior, and a female at that, teach me how to make a movie. Is that a joke?
I still say the same thing, either you replace me or ask Miss Jiang to stop interfering in the filming.
I can listen to her on casting, but as the director, I have the final say on how to shoot it."
Lan Yuyan was silent.
Knowing he couldn't convince Thompson, he could only sigh regretfully, "So you're leaving with the team?"
"Of course, it's my people, so I'll take them away. If you want to play with the female master, then find someone else yourself. We're sorry, we won't accompany you."
It's just a pity for such a good script.
"That's it, I'll form another team, and you can arrange your own work from now on."
Although time was running out, Lan Yuyan still had no intention of compromising.
Thompson said something wrong. He was not fooling around with the female host.
But it was his mistress who was helping him climb the ladder to success.
The work that Tianwen was going to make the list was already prepared. Although it was not bad, it was just average and was not as popular as "Dying to Survive".
If it weren't for him, Jiang Qin wouldn't have to deal with all this trouble.
So this movie can be without anyone else, but she is indispensable.
It's her own work, and she has the final say. If someone is unwilling to cooperate, then she can replace him.
