Chapter 187 Done, Great (Subscribe)
After signing the contract, Zhang Xiaoduo was still in a daze.
“Is this it?”
Zhang Xiaoduo murmured to himself.
She has been Gao Suhua's agent for two years. What Zhang Xiaoduo has done in these two years cannot be called a failure, but rather garbage.
It cannot be said that Zhang Xiaoduo did not try hard.
But if you don't have the ability and the direction is wrong, then no matter how hard you try, it will be useless.
So, Zhang Xiaoduo has been helping Gao Suhua in vain for the past two years!
She was too embarrassed to speak in front of Gao Suhua. Zhang Xiaoduo even suggested to Gao Suhua that she should be replaced, but Gao Suhua refused.
Zhang Xiaoduo is young, but Gao Suhua knows that her problem is not with her agent.
This time, "Hidden Corner" will be her chance.
Now that the contract has been officially signed, everything is settled.
"Okay, let's go."
Gao Suhua looked at Zhang Xiaoduo and said with some amusement: "Although the contract has been signed, we still have a lot of preparations to do, and you will also be busy."
"Sister Hua, I'm not afraid of being busy."
Zhang Xiaoduo said hurriedly: "In the past two years, I have dreamed of being busy."
On the other side, Zhu Fei and Han Caier were saying similar things.
"Cai Er, you said Teacher Yu said you used too much force?"
Zhu Fei said to Han Caier.
Han Caier nodded gently: "Yes, in fact, I also feel a little bit, after all, I have never played a child's mother before, I can't put myself in the role for a while."
This is true. Han Caier was still a child before.
Zhu Fei said a little worriedly: "What should we do then?"
"Teacher Yu said that I will join the group in five days. During these five days, I plan to do some charity work and talk to some families who have lost their children."
Han Caier thought for a moment and said, "This should be the fastest way to learn."
"This line of work not only does charity work, but also allows you to understand the true thoughts of parents who have lost their children."
Zhu Fei clapped his hands and said, "I'll arrange this."
…
"Director Zhang, what do you think?"
Yu Xiaoshu asked Zhang Yi after the interview.
Zhang Yi said hurriedly: "I think the four adult actors are pretty good and fit the roles very well. I think Mr. Yu, your casting skills are really..."
Yu Xiaoshu interrupted directly: "Forget about that, let's get to the point."
"The point is that I don't have any problem with adult actors, but I find it a bit difficult to choose child actors."
Zhang Yi was shocked when he saw Yu Xiaoshu's expression, and then he quickly talked about the key points: "Among the three roles of Zhu Chaoyang, Yan Liang and Pupu, I think Yan Liang is easier to play because his personality is not complicated. However, Zhu Chaoyang and Pupu are different. Pupu encountered too many things in the orphanage, so her 'evil' side is bigger, and Zhu Chaoyang gradually became evil. For this reason, the role of Zhu Chaoyang is very difficult. I think Cao Rui, the young actor who was just interviewed, is suitable."
Yu Xiaoshu was stunned: "Cao Rui?"
"Yes, Cao Rui. I was deeply moved when he auditioned just now. He showed Zhu Chaoyang's humiliation and forbearance vividly. He looks like a child who is easily wronged, but there is drama in this child's eyes..."
Zhang Yi gave Cao Rui a high evaluation.
Yu Xiaoshu suddenly laughed: "Lao Zhang, did you know Cao Rui before?"
"Yes, I know his mother. It's quite suitable. Cao Rui grew up in a single-parent family. I think he can play the sensitive side of Zhu Chaoyang."
Zhang Yi said this without hiding anything.
Yu Xiaoshu asked: "What about the two characters Yan Liang and Pu Pu?"
Zhang Yi smiled bitterly and said, "I am a little unsure about these two roles, because there are a few actors who I think are quite suitable, such as Yan Ming, Su Liang, Wang Rong, etc."
"good."
Yu Xiaoshu made the decision right away: "Then Zhu Chaoyang will be played by Cao Rui. You go and notify him and give him the script in person. But you must be careful not to let him get too absorbed in the role when he's acting."
If children of this age really act out of experience and really immerse themselves in their roles, Yu Xiaoshu feels that they may not be able to separate themselves from the characters in the future.
Zhang Yi said hurriedly: "Teacher Yu, I know, I will go and inform him now."
"Well, please notify Yan Ming and Zou Feng. One of them will play Yan Liang and the other will play Wang Rong."
Yu Xiaoshu said: "Let the others go."
The four people who were just interviewed, including Han Caier and Gao Suhua, were signed directly, but the 40 child stars were not decided on the spot. Yu Xiaoshu needed to audition all of them first.
Originally, Zhu Chaoyang wanted to play the role of Yu Xiaoshu, but after listening to Zhang Yi's opinion, he decided to follow Zhang Yi.
Yu Xiaoshu is not someone who refuses to listen to opinions.
Zhang Yi is the director of this play. As a qualified tool director, Zhang Yi not only put forward his own opinions, but more importantly, after reading the script, he thought Cao Rui was more suitable.
Then, just listen to Zhang Yi!
In the waiting room.
Everyone was a little nervous.
Song Yi was also very nervous, but he pretended to be calm and said, "Xiaolong, Xiaofeng, don't be nervous. It's normal to fail the audition. The most important thing for us as artists is to keep a normal mind."
Xiaolong nodded gently: "Brother Yi, I know."
Xiao Feng laughed: "Brother Yi, I wasn't nervous at first, but your thighs kept shaking and it made me nervous."
Song Yi: "I..."
At this moment, Zhang Yi pushed the door open and walked in: "Cao Rui, Yan Ming, and Zou Feng, please stay. The others can leave. We will have a chance to cooperate again."
After saying this, Song Yi became excited.
Choose one of the two.
This wave is not a loss at all.
Even Zou Feng, a small and steady person, had an excited look on his face.
The other two boys whose names were called also had a hint of excitement on their faces.
But the others looked decadent and depressed.
This is the entertainment industry. For actors, auditioning is like a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge. Some are lucky and get chosen the first time, but some are unlucky and may not get chosen even after ten years.
Some of these child stars have been in the entertainment industry for several years and are more mature than their peers.
Some of these child stars were brought by their agents, some by their parents, and some even greeted Zhang Yi before leaving, even trying to make themselves familiar to him.
But to be honest, these are all useless efforts.
Zhang Yi didn't remember any of them.
"Let's go. I'll take you to sign the contract, and then I'll give you a detailed script later. You must read it carefully in the next few days and understand it thoroughly. We will officially start the group in five days."
Zhang Yi said as he took them to sign the contract.
30 minutes later, the three roles of Zhu Chaoyang, Yan Liang and Pupu were officially confirmed.
"Director Zhang, I will take the artists back first. Thank you, thank you for your support. I will definitely let Xiaofeng perform well..."
When Song Yi left, he couldn't stop thanking Zhang Yi.
"No need to thank me. This was decided by Teacher Yu. Teacher Yu asked me to tell you that he chose you because of your abilities, so he hopes that you won't let us down when filming starts."
Zhang Yi said lightly.
"Yes, I know."
Song Yi said a few more words before taking Zou Feng back.
The next one was Yan Ming, who was also accompanied by his agent. At this time, the agent also said some words of thanks to Zhang Yi and then left quickly.
Finally, it’s Cao Rui.
Cao Rui's personality really seemed to be as Zhang Yi said, dull and sensitive. He lowered his head and said nothing. Instead, his mother beside him asked, "Why don't you thank me, Uncle Zhang?"
"Thank you, Uncle Zhang."
Cao Rui looked up and said dully.
"Cao Xiao, please don't make things difficult for the child. Besides, the fact that he was chosen this time has little to do with me. It's because Xiao Rui's acting skills were recognized by Teacher Yu."
Zhang Yi said this while looking at Cao Rui seriously, "Xiao Rui, take this script. You must study it thoroughly in the next few days. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."
"good."
Cao Rui took the script and said.
"Lao Zhang, it's almost evening, let's have dinner together.
”
Cao Rui's mother Cao Xiao hurriedly said, "Thank you anyway, and I will have to trouble you with the script next time. If Xiao Rui does anything wrong, you, as his uncle, will have to cover for him."
"Cao Xiao, you didn't think I was just joking."
Zhang Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Our Baiqian Media crew is different from other crews. In our crew, relationships are useless. If you don't do your job well, then no matter who you are, your relationships won't work. Xiaorui's acting is fine, so you just need to accompany Xiaorui. If you use any random relationships, it will only do harm."
Cao Xiao nodded gently: "I understand."
"Well, that's it. I still need to talk to Teacher Yu. You and Xiao Rui can go back. Call me anytime if you have anything."
Zhang Yi gave these final instructions before leaving.
"Xiao Rui, did you hear what your uncle Zhang just said?"
Cao Xiao said this after he and his son left Baiqian Media.
Cao Rui whispered, "I understand."
"Well, son, you are the protagonist this time, and I heard that Yu Xiaoshu's works are all very popular. As long as you act well, you will definitely become popular. I believe in you."
Cao Xiao said, "My son must be the best. Let's go and have dinner first. You don't have to do anything else these few days. Just study this script thoroughly."
Cao Rui said: "But mom, I have an exam the day after tomorrow."
"Why take the exam? What's the point of studying? Look at your cousin, he went to college for four years, but when he graduated he earned less than 5,000 yuan. Now he can't even afford to marry a wife."
Cao Xiao said anxiously: "What you need to do is to become famous. Become famous. Become famous as early as possible. Only when you become famous can you make money. What's the point of going to school? Can studying be used to make a living?"
At this point, Cao Xiao looked at Cao Rui and continued, "Xiao Rui, I raised you alone in the hope that you could make a name for yourself. You are the only one I have, so please don't let me down."
Although Cao Rui was somewhat reluctant, he still said, "Okay, I understand."
…
Yu Xiaoshu's office.
"Is everything done?"
Yu Xiaoshu looked at Zhang Yi and asked.
"Teacher Yu, it's all done. All the contracts have been signed."
Zhang Yi nodded gently and said, "In the next few days, I will take the crew to Hong Kong City to set up the scene."
"Okay, take your people there first. Before you go, meet with Manager He to see how the actors' schedules and joining times are divided."
Yu Xiaoshu thought for a moment and said, "If there is nothing else, you can go back first."
"good."
Zhang Yi said: "Then Mr. Yu, I will leave first."
"Let's go."
Yu Xiaoshu waved his hand and said.
He still has to write the sequel to "All Is Well", so he is not in a hurry to go back.
Today, the actors of "The Hidden Corner" have been officially confirmed, and Zhang Yi had already started the preparations for the crew, after all, they had worked together frequently before.
Then, let Zhang Yi take people there first to rearrange the selected scenes and shoot the first three episodes as soon as possible.
In other words, we need to film the first episode as soon as possible.
This month, "The Hidden Corner" must be aired.
This is the task assigned to Zhang Yi by Yu Xiaoshu.
Otherwise, why is "The Hidden Corner" so rushed???
It’s because Yu Xiaoshu wants to grab this time slot.
At 7 o'clock, most people from Baiqian Media had gone back. Yu Xiaoshu stretched his waist, saved the script of "All Is Well", and then left Baiqian Media.
On the way home, Yu Xiaoshu took the opportunity to take a look at the Internet.
Today, the discussion about "Hidden Murderer" on the Internet has not stopped.
Although it has received mixed reviews, especially the third episode which was a massive failure, but judging from the first three episodes, "Hidden Murderer" can be considered a qualified web drama.
After all, the actors' acting skills are good.
Although the rhythm is a bit inexplicably broken, it is still online.
Also, there is no problem with Luo Yuan’s ability as a screenwriter.
However, the debate over the screenwriters for the first two episodes and the third episode is still quite intense.
In fact, anyone who is not blind can see that there is a great sense of disharmony or disharmony between the first two episodes and the third episode.
Because some people believe that the first two episodes and the third episode are two different stories.
That's exactly the case, and more people are surprised.
If Liu Xiang and Li Ruhai were really the screenwriters for the first two episodes, then didn’t everyone misunderstand these two people before? ?
But what is still puzzling is that Luo Yuan is a platinum screenwriter, is he really such a scumbag? ?
In short, the popularity increased when the discussion was intense, so the performance of "Hidden Murderer" on various platforms was not bad, and it could even be called a small account.
Not long after Yu Xiaoshu returned home, at 8 o'clock in the evening, the Douhu rating of "The Hidden Murderer" came out.
The show scored 7.8 points on the first broadcast!
This score can be considered very good.
It is really surprising that the rating of "Hidden Murderer" is still so strong despite the controversy in the third episode.
Of course, now it depends on whether "Hidden Murderer" can maintain its success.
After all, the previous few series also reached their peak as soon as they were aired.
