Chapter 188 Little Cotton Jacket is so fierce! (12)
The casting director then filmed a simple audition with Tokiho to test her basic lines and camera-capturing abilities.
Of course, there is absolutely no problem with Tokiho's acting skills.
But what attracted the casting director the most was the stubbornness in her clear eyes.
Natural and just right.
For a child who has not received professional training, being able to give such an outstanding performance is simply a gift from God.
"He's truly a promising young talent. No wonder you recommended him so strongly to me." The casting director scratched the back of his head. "Alei, you've given me a real challenge!"
Arei agreed: "Yes, it's like an uncut but already dazzling gem."
The casting director nodded in agreement but fell silent.
Photographer Are was unaware of the situation.
The heroine of this big IP fantasy drama is a popular traffic star, and the child actor who plays her childhood is actually a relative secretly sent by a big producer.
With the development of the Internet today, any negative information can spread very quickly if it is used by someone with ulterior motives. In the past, it was common to bring money into a group, but now it has to be kept secret.
If Shihui played the role of the vicious female supporting character as a child and the final result crushed the one with connections, then he would lose his job.
"The young actors' scenes won't officially begin filming until seven days later. The casting will be finalized four days before filming begins, and the contract will be signed within a day. Since you're here, stay here for three more days to wait for the results. The children are still young, so don't run around too much. We'll reimburse the accommodation expenses according to the standard."
The casting director is a veteran.
In fact, in his heart, he had already kicked Shisui out.
It’s a pity, but the entertainment industry has its own rules.
Not to mention a child with no background, even an adult actor who has signed with an agency is like a little ant in the face of the game of capital and can be crushed anytime and anywhere.
Acting skills give way to traffic and capital, which is an unspoken rule in the current entertainment industry.
Being too beautiful is really a mistake in the eyes of some people.
The reason why the casting director wanted to keep Tokiho was simply to have a substitute who had almost no chance of getting on stage.
The child actors have quite a few roles.
If any unexpected situation occurs before filming begins, someone can be found to rescue the situation immediately.
This is what everyone in the industry does.
"I didn't hit him in the face, but instead left the child with hope. I am such a good person!" The casting director praised himself in his heart.
He told Wei Siyuan to go to a nearby bank in the next two days to open an account for Xuanxuan in her name and make preparations in advance, as if Shisui's participation in the TV series was a sure thing.
It's all routine.
…
"Come on, let's have a nice drink!"
After meeting the casting director, it was time for dinner, so Arei took Shisui and his group to a restaurant near the film and television city for a small gathering.
There are quite a few 18th-tier internet celebrities and stars in the restaurant, but no one is surprised by it.
Stars, big or small, also need to eat, drink water and go to the toilet.
The more glorious it is in front of the filter, the more it collapses behind people.
Smacking lips, stepping on chairs, taking off shoes and rubbing feet, telling silly jokes...
Maybe they were too tired from filming and had a lot of pent-up negative emotions, so they let themselves go even more than ordinary people when eating.
The smaller the status, the more casual they are.
Wei Siyuan had done business before and often ate and drank with the decorators. He could drink quite well and could handle basic social etiquette.
He took the initiative to treat everyone for this meal.
After a good chat with photographer Are, he gained a deeper understanding of the child actor industry.
As he saw in the film and television city, the competition was fierce and cruel.
It is rare for a sparrow to fly to a tree and turn into a phoenix.
Strength and luck are both indispensable, and luck accounts for 99% of success
Are had other filming work in the evening, so after dinner and a couple of drinks, he left.
Before leaving, he casually asked Zhao Ziyin, "Do you have anything else to do later? Do you want to come over and play?"
With Xuanxuan's father around, Zhao Ziyin didn't have the responsibility of taking care of her niece, so she readily agreed.
She followed behind Are and walked away happily.
Wei Siyuan took his daughter back to the hotel, gave her a good bath, and blow-dried her long, thick, black hair.
"Did you have fun today?" Dad asked gently.
"Happy, I think it's quite fun~"
"Okay, then I'll take you to open a bank account tomorrow. From now on, you can save your own money. Go to bed early today."
"I know~ Good night, Dad~"
Shisui obediently went to bed and covered herself with the quilt.
What Wei Siyuan saw and heard in the film and television city today was a new shock to him.
He was trying hard to digest it.
During the six months from the time Xuanxuan's mother fell ill to the time she passed away, he personally experienced many ups and downs in human nature and thought his heart had been strengthened.
However, the film and television industry, a new field he had never been exposed to before, still made him experience a different kind of complexity and cruelty.
But he didn't back down.
If his daughter really likes performing, he will also work hard to learn and adapt to the way of survival here.
Protection is a father's instinct and obligation.
He would not send his daughter into the fire pit, but he also did not want to block her way forward because of his incompetence.
…
Compared to Wei Siyuan's attitude, Shi Sui actually paid more attention to Zhao Ziyin's whereabouts.
Since she left with Are after dinner, she has not returned.
The room where Zhao Ziyin lives is right opposite Shi Sui's room.
Small hotel, poor sound insulation.
Shisui could hear clearly whether a door opened or closed in a nearby room, or whether the people next door spoke loudly.
It was not until two or three in the morning that Shi Sui heard Zhao Ziyin open the door.
Wei Siyuan was sleeping like a pig.
Shisui quietly moved a chair to the door, climbed up, and stood on tiptoe to look out through the peephole.
This is where the problem comes in...
Besides Zhao Ziyin, the photographer A Lei was also leaning outside the door of the room...!
I don't know where they went to have fun just now. They were obviously drunk and their faces were red.
Even their walk was a little unsteady, they were drunk, arm in arm, supporting each other.
"You said you'd take me back! You're already drunk, no way!"
"Who said I can't do it? Don't talk nonsense! I'm really strong, do you want me to prove it to you?"
The two of them were talking, laughing, and joking.
"When love is at its peak," Are suddenly hooked his arms around Zhao Ziyin's neck and kissed her directly.
At first, Zhao Ziyin pretended to struggle for a few times, but later she simply gave up resisting and put her arms around Are's waist.
The two of them got closer and closer, and their passion for each other was about to ignite.
What happened next was just as Shi Sui had expected. Zhao Ziyin used the room card to open the door and reluctantly went in with Are.
Wow…
This aunt is quite unrestrained.
Not picking a partner yet.
Are is almost forty years old, with a full beard and a greasy body. Apart from being a bit witty and humorous, he has no other advantages.
She can even eat this. I admire you.
Tokiho smiled.
Zhao Ziyin has no self-respect at all. Shi Sui doesn't even need to set a sophisticated trap. She can knock her out with just a flick of her finger.
