"So we don't have enough money to hire a director anymore?" Bai Yangyu said with some heartache. He felt that as an agent, he didn't even know the company's financial situation, which was really unqualified.
"Ah, this!" Zhou Yiyang finally realized that Bai Yangyu had been overthinking things and had misunderstood. "You're overthinking it. I didn't find a director, not because I was broke. It's just that I filmed 'Moonlight Girl' with Director Jiang last time, and I thought being a director was pretty interesting, so I wanted to give it a try."
Bai Yangyu finally understood. No wonder Zhou Yiyang had been so active on the set before; it turned out to be a hobby. "That's great! I thought our company was losing money!"
"Not really." Zhou Yiyang smiled. In fact, the endorsement fee from Moonlight Girl was enough for them to use for a long time.
Moreover, the sales of several products endorsed by them are very high now, so much so that many products now want to sign Moonlight Girls as their spokesperson.
However, Zhou Yiyang and Bai Yangyu are now very strict in selecting the products they endorse, and some products that pay a lot but are unreliable are excluded at the first opportunity.
The first person to audition also arrived.
They were auditioning for several male roles this time, so all the people who came to the scene were male actors.
Zhou Yiyang took a look at the resume handed over by this person. He had no acting experience and was still a student at the Film Academy.
"The role you are auditioning for is Mr. Bao?" Zhou Yiyang asked.
"Yes." The actor nodded. "Can I start?"
“Let’s get started!”
Zhou Yiyang used a different screening method this time than in "The Legend of Yunlong". He did not extract a clip for the actors to perform, but let the actors play their own roles.
This screening method mainly tests the actor's previous preparation and understanding of the role.
The actor nodded and quickly began his performance.
Although the other party only performed for one minute, the final result made Zhou Yiyang feel extremely tormented.
It was like watching a very exaggerated theatrical performance.
"Student," Zhou Yiyang began to struggle with his words. "I don't think your performance captures the essence of this character, so why don't you go to the waiting area and wait for a while?"
The actor hummed, and he could only silently retreat to the waiting area on the side.
Then several male actors came, but without exception, they failed to play their roles well.
"To be determined!"
"Go to the waiting area, thank you."
"Tbt, come this way."
Bai Yangyu glanced at Zhou Yiyang at the side and couldn't help but remind him, "Our waiting area is almost full. Is there no suitable seat?"
"Have you found a suitable one, Old Bai?" Zhou Yiyang thought he was a little too strict.
"That's not the case," Bai Yangyu said seriously, "but Mr. Zhou, you're really strict. By the way, why hasn't the show you were a judge on aired yet? Did you specifically eliminate contestants in it?"
"It's okay?" Zhou Yiyang recalled. "But I don't know when my show will be aired. I heard the investment is not ideal. It might be canceled."
"So miserable?" Bai Yangyu took a breath. "But we've already received the money, so even if it's cut in half, it won't affect us."
"By the way," Zhou Yiyang glanced at the waiting area over there, and then said: "If the next one is still not good enough, I will pick a relatively good person here!"
"Well, the next person should be pretty good. I know him. Oh no, you know him too." Bai Yangyu suddenly rubbed his eyes. These resumes were sent by his agent, and he didn't even notice that a big shot had come.
"Teacher Fang Zicheng?"
When Zhou Yiyang saw Fang Zicheng pushing the door open, he stood up from his seat.
He really didn't expect that Fang Zicheng would come to him for an audition.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou. I'm here for an audition today. You don't have to call me teacher." Fang Zicheng looked much younger than the last time I saw him. People would probably believe him if he said he was in his early thirties.
There are very few male stars in the entertainment industry today who can maintain their figure, and even fewer who pay attention to image management like Fang Zicheng.
But Zhou Yiyang didn't expect that Fang Zicheng, given his status, would come to their crew for an audition.
In his case, he could just send an email, and maybe Zhou Yiyang would decide on the candidate right away.
"Then Mr. Fang, what role do you want to audition for? Singularity?"
"Yeah." Fang Zicheng nodded. "I received the script a few days ago. After taking a look at it, I was very interested in the role of Qidian. I believe this is a character that can be explored in depth."
After Fang Zicheng finished speaking, he began his performance.
To be honest, his aura changed when he performed. Now he looks like a business elite.
Fang Zicheng delivered every line very accurately, and after watching it, Zhou Yiyang couldn't find any fault with it.
Fang Zicheng is the elegant and low-key Singularity in the script.
"Teacher Fang," Zhou Yiyang applauded him from the bottom of his heart. "Your performance was amazing. Honestly, you're the singularity I was looking for. Welcome to join our Ode to Joy crew!"
After Zhou Yiyang and Fang Zicheng signed the contract, he quickly posted on his Moments, officially announcing that another actor had joined the "Ode to Joy" crew.
When netizens saw that the new person joining the crew was Fang Zicheng, they were all shocked.
After Qiao Zishan, now there is Fang Zicheng. Is this TV series called "Ode to Joy" really relying on the script to attract a group of talented actors, or is it simply a money laundering?
Open any gossip forum and you will find that everyone there is discussing "Ode to Joy".
"Ode to Joy has a new star, Fang Zicheng is back on TV, and it's going to be a great show again!"
After Tang Yue read the question, a confused expression appeared on her face.
"Brother Yang actually signed Teacher Fang Zicheng?"
Outside the recording studio, Tang Yue was chatting with her sisters while looking at her phone.
"Brother Yang is amazing!" Su Yin was genuinely happy. Now their team was becoming more and more reliable.
They have read all the comments online, so they feel very sad. They want to prove to these people that the TV series they filmed is definitely not a bad movie for money laundering!
"It's probably because of the script, right?" Lin Xuan'er analyzed. "Honestly, after reading the script, I've been eager to see it on TV. With Mr. Fang Zicheng joining us, we can ask him for advice on acting."
