Chapter 95 Gu Yunting's new movie casting
Seeing that several artists have become famous after participating in variety shows, the company should also consider their next development plan.
Director Gu's new movie, which was invested by Ji's family and had been planned for a long time, was put on the agenda and started casting. After Yuan Luo learned the news, although the final exams were approaching, she still asked Gu Yunting to come out for a meeting.
"Uncle Gu, you know that I have several artists who are quite talented. Can you give them a chance?"
Gu Yunting was very alert. Listening to Yuanluo's words, he felt that a trap had been set for him. "If you want to force someone in, then you'd better give up the idea. I will never compromise."
Yuan Luo looked at him with a hint of resentment and said, "Uncle Gu, what are you talking about? Am I that kind of person? I understand Uncle Gu's principles. I just want Uncle Gu to give them a chance to audition. It's not that Uncle Gu's crew has a high threshold for auditions. It's not easy for others to find you, so I have to ask for mercy."
Gu Yunting looked at him and asked suspiciously, "You really just want an audition opportunity, why don't you just give me someone?"
Yuanluo nodded rapidly, her eyes filled with sincerity.
Gu Yunting hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement.
Gu Yunting was relieved. After meeting the people, Yuanluo went back to the company and said to Chen Feng, "Director Gu's new movie "Under the Light" is being prepared for filming. I have agreed with him to give us an audition opportunity.
This is a rare opportunity. The day after tomorrow, I will take all the artists in the company to audition. No matter how big or small the role is, I will give it a try if I can get a good role. It is not easy to get into Director Gu’s crew.”
When Chen Feng heard Yuan Luo's words, he asked in disbelief, "Are you all going?"
It's not that Chen Feng was suspicious. He had inquired about this matter before. When Gu Yun was selecting roles, he would hold an open audition. After multiple rounds of screening, he would only let the ones he thought were suitable for the interview in person.
But from what President Luo said, everyone in the company can go directly to the final round of screening, so how did Director Gu agree to it?
"Uncle Gu gave me the opportunity to interview, but he didn't say how many people he wanted. Is there anything wrong with me letting them all go? Even if they don't get selected, they can still experience the interview atmosphere of a large crew, which will be good for their future development."
Chen Feng understood instantly. If Director Gu asked, he would just say that it was General Luo who instructed him to do so. Anyway, with the relationship between the Ji and Gu families, Director Gu was considered Yuan Luo's elder, so even if he was unhappy, he couldn't do anything about it.
Chen Feng relayed Yuanluo's words to Sister Zhou. Sister Zhou had recently found a female lead role for Sun Tian in a costume drama. It was a big IP and the director had a good relationship with her, so she could try for it. If that didn't work out, she could settle for the princess role in the drama.
Although the princess doesn't have many scenes, her setting is very brilliant, and it will be a great bonus if she plays the role well.
Du Sisi has been liked by many people because of her performance in "Close Your Eyes Before Dark". Sister Zhou found her a role as a strong woman in a workplace drama. It is not the protagonist, but it is very suitable as her first role since her debut.
Zhang An is quite handsome and seems to be a very upright person. Sister Zhou is negotiating with him about a police role in a crime film, and it is almost finalized.
As for Zhao Qianyu, Chu Yun and Zhang Yufan, Sister Zhou is still considering whether to let them participate in another variety show to increase their fame, or to talk to them about some resources for their future development.
As a result, she heard Chen Feng telling him that he had the opportunity to audition for Director Gu's movie. This was a rare opportunity, so Sister Zhou quickly studied the script to see if there were any suitable roles for them to prepare in advance.
At first, Sister Zhou just wanted to secure a few small roles. It would be good to have a chance to show her face, but when several people learned that they had audition opportunities, some had their own ideas.
Zhao Qianyu said that she wanted to try out for the female lead role, Chu Yun was also interested in the female lead role, and Zhang An said that he wanted to try out for the second male lead, a policeman role, which was more expressive. Although it was the same profession as the role he was currently negotiating for, the two roles were very different.
Sister Zhou did not object to this. She said it was a good thing for young people to have their own plans and be motivated. If they wanted to fight for themselves, she would naturally not object.
But fearing any conflicts, Sister Zhou still told Zhao Qianyu and Chu Yun: "Since you have set your eyes on the same role, you can compete, but don't do unnecessary things. No matter what the result is, since the company has signed you, it will not ignore you. Keep your heads clear."
The two said they understood and said they would compete fairly.
Sister Zhou didn't say much. Over the years, she had seen many examples of sisters turning against each other in this circle in order to compete for roles. Now that everything was going well, it would be fine if neither of them got selected. But if one was selected and the other lost, it was hard to guarantee that someone would not be unbalanced.
She has fulfilled her duty of reminder. If there really is someone who is confused and dares to attack an artist from the same company, Sister Zhou can only praise her for her courage. After all, the person above is a person who cannot tolerate any sand in his eyes.
Sun Tian and Du Sisi were very open-minded. No matter how famous Director Gu was, there was no role suitable for them in the script. So they listened to Sister Zhou's arrangements and prepared for the roles recommended by Sister Zhou to them.
As for Zhang Yufan, although he is not interested in the film and television industry, he is also obediently preparing for the audition.
To Yuanluo's surprise, the audition went extremely smoothly. When Gu Yunting saw that several artists from their company had all gone, he did not show any surprise, nor did he ask any additional questions. He just sat down and started the interview.
All this was thanks to Gu Shuze. Yesterday, Gu Yunting couldn't figure out where Yuanluo had dug the trap, so he asked Gu Shuze. Gu Shuze told the truth in one sentence: "Did you promise her a few interview spots?"
Gu Yunting shook his head, indicating that he did not mention this issue.
"Then why are you asking? Just wait until all the people in her company are mobilized. But she only has five or six contracted artists, so it shouldn't take too long."
Therefore, when Director Gu saw Sister Zhou bringing a group of people to the interview, his face showed no emotion, and he was thinking in his heart that this was as expected.
However, what he did not expect was that Yuanluo did have a good eye. Except for Zhang Yufan, the acting skills of these people were still remarkable.
Especially Zhao Qianyu and Zhang An, the two roles they interviewed for perfectly met their expectations. Although Chu Yun's face does not fit his heroine very well, he has solid basic skills and strong plasticity.
Gu Yunting temporarily assigned another role and let her improvise on the spot. She performed very well, so the role of the young female teacher who had just graduated and had been helping the heroine in the movie, who was also the second female lead in the movie, was directly given to Chu Yun.
