Chapter 92 Designated Role [Please give me a monthly ticket! ]
The other party claims to be a fourth-generation director, so Ju Jueliang has to give him some face:
"Is there a problem?"
Huang Jianzhong saw that no one was looking at him, so he said casually:
"Luo Zhixiang, please take care of the follow-up to what we mentioned a few days ago."
Ju Juelian nodded and left, then found the assistant to ask.
Only then did I realize that Luo Zhixiang and Du Sheng were auditioning for the same role.
Ju Jueliang shook his head and put Luo Zhixiang's resume at the end.
Du Sheng arrived at the Shanshui Hotel and met Wang Yaoyang at the door. He called Ju Jueliang's assistant.
When I approached the audition room, I found that it was crowded and the row of benches were already full of people.
There were many people standing by waiting.
At this time, the door of an office next door opened slightly.
Female assistant Xiao Liu walked out with the documents and immediately saw Du Sheng standing there. She quickly greeted him:
"Alang, bring two chairs over."
Soon, someone brought two chairs. Xiao Liu took one of them and greeted Du Sheng warmly:
"Brother Sheng, sit down."
Du Sheng politely took the chair and said softly:
"Thank you."
They had many contacts during the filming of "Tian Long".
Even when Du Sheng was auditioning for the role of Murong Fu, Xiao Liu gave him reminders.
"Why be so polite?"
Xiao Liu glanced around, lowered his voice, and said gratefully:
"I haven't had time to thank you for the information you revealed to me last time. Director Qu praised me in public and recommended me to study further."
Du Sheng smiled and gave sincere wishes:
"You're going to get a promotion, congratulations."
Xiao Liu smiled gently:
"In fact, the nature of the work is still the same, but the salary has increased slightly."
Du Sheng encouraged:
"With this experience, I believe it is not impossible for you to become a casting director in the future."
"I accept your good words."
Xiao Liu thought for a moment and whispered:
"Zhao Wenzhuo didn't come, Director Huang Jianzhong strongly recommended Luo Zhixiang..."
Du Sheng narrowed his eyes, and an image of a middle-aged man who looked like a profiteer emerged in his mind.
If what Zhang Li revealed last time was correct, this director who had sexually assaulted her must be someone with a lot of background.
He can be regarded as a backbone figure of the fourth generation of directors.
Among them, "Good Women and Children" directed by Huang Jianzhong won awards at international film festivals.
The film "Swordsman" co-produced with Zhang Zhizong made stars such as Li Guanpeng and Xu Qing famous.
In response to Zhang's revelations, Huang Jianzhong calmly explained to the media:
"I did have dinner with Zhang Lu, but after a bottle of beer, I felt dizzy and had no idea what I did afterwards.
Even if something did happen, it was my drunkenness and not my intention. "
His wording not only provided a good defense for himself, but also left himself a way out. It can be said that he was well thought out.
He also said meaningfully that he could normally drink several bottles of beer, but that night he passed out after just one bottle.
When the reporter asked Huang Jianzhong if he had been drugged, he said darkly:
"You can't say that without evidence."
Du Sheng really admired this ability to bite back.
Especially last time, the media broke the news that this person and Zhang Zhizong played "Three Flowers Gathering on the Top" with a bunch of female artists...
I'll have to discuss this with this person when I have the chance.
Just as Du Sheng and Wang Yaoyang sat down, someone next to them grumbled in dissatisfaction:
“Why do they have seats and we have to stand?”
Xiao Liu's expression suddenly became serious:
"If you don't want to stand, you can choose to leave."
Seeing this, the other auditioning actors shut their mouths. Xiao Liu held up the document in his hand:
"I'll go finish my work first."
Du Sheng nodded: "Go ahead, don't worry about me."
In the waiting room not far away, Luo Zhixiang had been observing that side.
Cao Ge, a friend from Wancheng who came with me, asked:
"This actor has been quite popular on Mango TV recently and will also play Murong Fu in the upcoming Jin Yong drama Tian Long."
Luo Zhixiang asked:
"He's so famous?"
"Happy Camp, I just happened to be here to participate in an episode!"
Cao Ge's expression is slightly exaggerated:
"I heard that He Jiong and others were impressed by his novel hosting positioning theory and are ready to give it a try."
He also heard it from others, that He Jiong was in charge of controlling the whole show, Xie Na was in charge of making fun of the guests, and Li Weijia was in charge of making jokes...
It sounds like he's quite capable.
Luo Zhixiang was a little anxious, with a trace of worry in his eyes:
"He showed up at this time, is he also auditioning for the TVC commercial for "The Final Battle of Bright Summit"?"
Cao Ge glanced at him, somewhat unimpressed:
"You have a relationship with the directors of NetDragon and the strong recommendation of director Huang Jianzhong. How can he compare with you?"
However, Luo Zhixiang was not relieved. He frowned and said:
"He seems to have a special relationship with Director Ju Jueliang. Didn't you see that the female assistant was trying to please him just now?"
Cao Ge disagreed and said:
"Director Huang Jianzhong said that your information will be placed first.
For an audition of this magnitude, order is very important..."
Luo Zhixiang interrupted Cao Ge's words and said with determination:
"Cao Ge, you have some connections in the mainland, help me check his background."
Cao Ge looked at him with some doubt:
"He's just a nobody, why are you so nervous?"
“It’s more than just this problem.”
Luo Zhixiang took a deep breath, his brows revealing a bit of solemnity:
"NetDragon has very close cooperation with Zhongyao in the mainland. You should understand what this means."
Cao Ge was stunned when he heard this, then seemed to think of something and his eyes changed.
Luo Zhixiang continued:
“Director Huang recently revealed that Director Ju Jueliang is preparing a large-scale costume drama for Zhongyao Pictures.
I thought that catching up with the NetDragon would be a good opportunity, but now it seems that... the situation may not be so optimistic. "
Although he starred in "Young Liang Zhu" two years ago and was nominated for the Best Actor Award at the Golden Bell Awards in Korea.
The upcoming film "Working Girl" also has the potential to become a hit, but its influence does not yet extend to the mainland.
Therefore, this TVC audition is just a stepping stone and I am determined to win.
Cao Ge finally understood what Luo Zhixiang was worried about, and said in surprise:
"You mean he might be assigned a role by Ju Jueliang... Is this a way to eliminate the potential threat?"
Luo Zhixiang nodded calmly:
"At least I want to find out who this opponent is.
If you don't even know what your opponent has, how can you compete?"
……
The atmosphere in the audition room was tense and serious.
The actor who had just finished the audition left the room with some trepidation. The head of the mainland game agency looked at Lv Jiawei and asked:
"how about this?"
Lv Jiawei shook her head without hesitation and said bluntly:
"No, too thin, not photogenic."
Director Huang Jianzhong, who assisted in the screening, put a striking red cross on this actor's information.
Although he has a certain say in matters such as casting, he respects the opinions of Lu Jiawei and the agency, and the one who pays the money is the boss.
But Huang Jianzhong believes that the two will not make too many decisive opinions.
After all, he is the expert in this area, and said to his assistant:
"Let the next one in."
