Seeing that he had a good attitude, Lu Jiaxin didn't dwell on the matter and even gave a suggestion: "If you really like acting, go to a performing arts academy for further studies. Study for two or three years, and then start with small roles when you come back. I believe that as long as you are willing to work hard, people will scramble to hire you to act in the future. But if you continue like this, people in the circle will stay away from you."
In fact, retreating three feet is not a big deal, but being afraid of becoming a laughing stock in the circle. In later generations, there was a son of a big boss who was praised so much that he lost himself and was ridiculed by the whole network.
Nie Jingting frowned and said, "I also hired an acting teacher, and everyone said that I learned well."
Lu Jiaxin was speechless, but for Nie Zhan's sake, she still said, "You can go to the mainland to study acting. There are many great teachers at the Sijiu City Film Academy or the Magic City Drama Academy. But if you want to learn real skills, you can't let anyone know your identity."
Nie Zhan understood: "You mean, all the teachers he hired before were let off?"
Lu Jiaxin shook her head and said, "I don't know. I only know that no one watches the movies you made."
This is a bit heartbreaking, but a good movie is a mutual achievement between the director and the actors. But Nie Jingting's behavior is just playing around, always using directors that he likes. You have to know that directors also have their own strengths, some are good at making art films, some are good at making urban dramas, and some are good at making martial arts films. You don't care whether the other party has real skills or whether they are good at making the subject matter they are good at, as long as they like it, then who would dare to play with you. It doesn't matter for you, a big young master, if you fail in filming, you will be supported by your family. But they make a living from this, and their lives will fall into hardship if their reputation is ruined.
Nie Zhan looked at Nie Jingting and said, "Think about it carefully. If you really like this line of work, then study acting and don't be like before. If you don't want to go, then join the company and help your brother share the burden!"
Nie Jingting said without hesitation: "I'll go, brother. But I don't know anyone in the mainland, how can I get into the film school?"
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "It's not difficult, but you can't reveal your identity. Well, when the time comes, just tell others that you are Mei Gu's nephew, and because you love acting, you want to study at the Film Academy."
"ah……"
Lu Jiaxin didn't force him and said that he could just think about it carefully.
Yu Meitong was very curious when she heard that she was selecting movie actors, and she also wanted to see it. But Lu Jiaxin had to go to school, so she didn't want to disturb her, so she waited until Shi Xinyu came back before coming to find her.
Lu Jiaxin politely declined: "I will have to audition at that time, it's not that I can't be there. But when the filming starts, you can go and watch if you are interested."
Shi Xinyu said: "Jia Xin, I haven't acted in a movie yet, so I don't know what it's like. When the filming starts, can I play a small role? Yu Meitong also looked at her expectantly.
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "It's not up to me to decide. I'll ask the director when we get to the set. If there's a role that suits you, you can go and make a cameo appearance."
Shi Xinyu hugged Lu Jiaxin happily: "Jiaxin, thank you."
Yu Meitong also thanked her, and then asked, "Jia Xin, why do you suddenly want to make a movie?"
Lu Jiaxin didn't believe they could keep a secret, so she made up an excuse: "I went to the movies with Nie Zhan last month, and suddenly I had an inspiration after I came out, so I wrote it down when I got home. After I finished writing it, I thought it was pretty good, so I wanted to make it into a movie as a souvenir. Nie Zhan also thought it was okay after reading the script, so he asked Wanting's manager to arrange it."
When Shi Xinyu heard this, she immediately thought of Nie Jingting and asked, "Will the fourth young master of the Nie family be the leading actor of this movie?"
Well, that's definitely not the case. That's right, Lu Jiaxin is so young and can earn so much money, she won't let Fourth Young Master Nie do anything wrong.
Many people came to audition, but none of them were famous. Director Qi and Tian Pengyu selected six of them, four women and two men. However, their acting skills were very immature. They were fine as extras, but it was a joke to let them be the leading actors.
When Lu Jiaxin saw these six people, she suddenly realized that she had made a mistake. That is, the mainland can hold nationwide auditions because there are many students from acting departments or those who have been in this industry for many years. If they are selected, they can take on the leading roles after being taught by teachers. But it is not the case here. Here, everyone goes to TVB and other training classes, and then starts acting as the Nth one, honing their acting skills step by step.
At this time, Director Qi recommended several people to Lu Jiaxin. The heroines included Zheng Ling and Mi Xue; the male protagonists included Brother, Fa Ge and Liu Sheng.
Lu Jiaxin thought about the appearance of the four people, and said with a smile that Director Qi gave her a difficult problem, and then added a few more candidates, namely Lan Yinggu, Guan Meiren, Wang Xiaoqian, and Zhou Yunu.
Director Qi was very happy to see that she had chosen all beautiful women. If they could invite all these beauties, then this movie could be a selling point just like a beauty pageant.
Tian Pengyu was not surprised that he didn't select the male and female protagonists he liked. Most of the candidates had no acting experience, so how could they not take on the leading role? But when he got the list from Lu Jiaxin, he felt bitter. Half of the list was made up of popular female stars: "Boss, only one female lead and one female supporting role will do. You can't have so many."
Lu Jiaxin said: "Some of these artists are currently filming, and some have full schedules for the future, so I wrote a few more as backup. Of course, it would be best if we could invite all of them."
"Boss, that's a lot of money."
Lu Jiaxin also wanted to be willful for once, and said: "The salary is not a problem, as long as they come to participate. But they must audition, if they don't want to audition, forget it."
Tian Pengyu went to look for the actors according to the list. Actress Zheng was willing to act, but she was not willing to audition. Lan Yinggu did not refuse, but asked them to deal with their own contract companies. Wang Xiaoqian and Zhou Yunv were not famous yet and agreed to audition. As for the male stars, Brother and Chow Yun-fat were both very busy, and Liu Sheng was willing to audition if he had time.
Director Qi and Lu Jiaxin said that Miss Zheng was very suitable for the role of the adult female lead and she didn’t need to audition.
Lu Jiaxin knew that she was a popular female star and had the confidence, but the world could turn around without anyone: "Let Lan Yinggu and the others audition first to see if they are suitable for the leading role."
"Ms. Zheng should know that if you ask her again, she won't participate in the show."
Lu Jiaxin said indifferently, "If she doesn't want to audition, then it won't work. If Miss Wang and the others can't do it, then we can keep looking. There are so many female stars, I don't believe we can't find a suitable one."
Director Qi wanted to say more, but Tian Pengyu interrupted him and said he would arrange it.
