Chapter 39 Auditions
"He's tone deaf."

Song Xin recalled Jing Yu's past, he didn't know anything about musical instruments, singing or something, it was horrible.

Although it does not reach the level of a soul singer, it is still below the average level.

"Heh." Jiang Shiqing chuckled when he heard the words.

Art comes from life, and Jing Yu himself touches this subject without knowing anything, isn't he asking for fun?
Even if you are a master screenwriter of emotional dramas, if you suddenly change the direction of suspense dramas, most of the cases will be terrible.

The success of tomorrow's ratings of this drama made him a serious joke in the station, especially after tomorrow's rerun, the average ratings broke through 1.6.

I don't know how much higher than the average ratings of the whole show of White Lover.

In fact, Jiang Shiqing has no serious enmity with Jing Yu, but Jing Liang made some mistakes when working under Jing Yu's father, and was criticized several times by Jing Yu's father in public. Since then, he has hated Jing Liang, by the way Even Jing Yu didn't like it.

This is even more so after the rise of Taili.But the previous operation, which made Taili downgrade Jingyu's contract and made Song Xin his woman, basically let him pour out the little anger in his heart for many years.

But tomorrow's good performance of this drama changed all that.

"Jiang Shiqing, he's usually very good. This time it's ridiculous. He was surpassed in ratings by a firefighting drama, and it was his own firefighting drama."

"So he used to tell others that Jing Liang's son is not good, and he has no talent, so it's all nonsense? He was jealous of Jing Yu's talent, so he wanted to drive Jing Yu out of the TV station so much after Jing Liang's screenwriter died."

"I said, why did Jing Liang use those tricks to Jing Yu secretly after his death? This man is too narrow-minded, and he doesn't think others are better than him."

In the past few days, he also heard a lot of gossip and rumors in the stage, which further deepened his resentment towards Jing Yu.

Better than me?
Where do you see it?

Just two episodes of short dramas gave you these illusions?
Soon, his new drama will start filming. As soon as the filming of White Lover ends, he will immediately switch to the crew of the new drama
At that time, let's see who is the stronger side.

next day
Early in the morning, Liu Neng drove to the downstairs of Jing Yu's rental house.

"Here, bring you breakfast."

Liu Neng handed Jing Yu a meatloaf and a cup of soy milk, and then got the materials he sorted out last night from Jing Yu.

In a quarterly film and television drama, there are not too few characters, but not too many, except for those characters who only appear a few times, and the passers-by who are responsible for the lively atmosphere of shouting 666 next to the audience.

In the previous episodes, the main characters are actually the male protagonist Arima Kosei, the female protagonist Kaoru Miyazono, the female protagonist Tsubaki Sawabe, and the male protagonist Ryota Erdu.
Then there is the male protagonist Arima Kosei's opponent on the piano, the samurai, Ikawa Emi and others
These main characters need to be paid attention to. After all, the supporting roles are not outstanding, and there is no comparison with the protagonist's performance. The viewing experience of the audience will be much weaker.

Of course, the names of the corresponding characters in the original work will also be completely changed. For example, the hero Arima Gongsheng was renamed You Gongsheng by Jing Yu, and the heroine Miyazono Kaoru did not change her name. Although it is strange, there are still people with the surname Da Zhou.

Sawabe Tsubaki directly became Sawashi, and Wataruta became Wataru.Relatively speaking, try not to make the people in Dazhou feel that the name is particularly weird.

"Your characters don't seem to appear in the scripts of the first two episodes." Liu Neng casually glanced at the character data set produced by Jing Yu and said.

"Well, but they will definitely appear in the later scripts." Jing Yu said with a smile.

"Anyway, there are so many people auditioning today, it just so happens. This time we will audition together."

"You're so confident that you have so many ideas about the follow-up script in just a few days." Liu Neng sighed.

"I think of the other screenwriters in Lan Province that I met before? The filming will start the next day, and the script has not been written yet. The producer and director live directly at his home at night and force him to stay up late to write to finalize the draft. In the crew, he is filming the last scene, and he is writing the next scene."

Jing Yu heard that his expression was weird. In fact, it can’t be blamed for the procrastination of these screenwriters. Da Zhou’s film and television dramas are being edited while filming. Many times, the audience is not satisfied with the plot of the previous week and asks the screenwriter to overthrow it and make new changes. This is indeed true for many people in the screenwriting industry. is a big challenge.

"Speaking of which, your assistant screenwriter team members haven't been formed yet. Think about the screenwriting talents you have recognized in the circle. I'll help you contact them."

"It's not necessary. I can handle my work by myself. You can take a look for yourself. After these people's expenses are saved, you can't count it as my personal screenwriting fee. Just give it to me." Jing Yu said hastily.

For him, the script of the story is all in his head, the plot of an episode of TV series, the lines, the direction of the story and so on. Others will notice his abnormality
in someone else's perspective
Why did Jing Yu write the script and never change it?You write like a god, without any pause, just as smooth as copying homework, without thinking and other abnormal behaviors. The fewer people who know, the better.

"How can this be done?" Liu Neng was taken aback when he heard this, and then said.

"I know you are confident, but long-form dramas are different from short-story dramas. As a screenwriter, you are responsible for the big picture as the main screenwriter, and the assistants help you complete the small details, such as lines, story framework, direction, and shooting. You deal with everything by yourself, do you want to exhaust yourself to death?"

Compared with those salted fish screenwriters, Liu Neng has also seen many screenwriters who are busy with work and pressure and then fall ill on the crew.

Jing Yu's father, Jing Liang, used to be this kind of person. Otherwise, how could a person under 50 die so easily?
"Let's talk about it later." Jing Yu paused.

At this time, I couldn't explain it to him.

"Let's decide on the role of the main actor first."

Jing Yu looked at the headquarters building of Jinhui TV Station.

There are only two days left for his actor audition, today and tomorrow.
The location of the audition is in a certain office of Jinhui TV Headquarters, as for the candidates of the audition.

According to Liu Neng, some students from the performance department and music department of some local universities in Lancheng, as well as some artists from the performance agency company were notified.

Anyway, the selection criteria have been sent out, and there are about 200 applicants who think they meet the requirements, but this is just a rough count, and the actual number may be more.

The school also supports this kind of behavior of Jingyu itself. Many universities in Lancheng also have acting departments, and some crews are willing to recruit students to participate in TV dramas. Whether it is the department leaders, teachers, or students at school, they are naturally very active. This is not yet true. Graduation is a good opportunity to gild your resume.

Even many former students were valued because they participated in some film and television dramas during their school days and were valued before they graduated.
Time is too short.

Many schools related majors notified this matter overnight. Many students didn't sleep well last night, and got up at four o'clock in the morning to put on makeup and prepare for the audition.

As soon as Jing Yu and the others arrived at the selection room, there was already a sea of ​​people outside the door, filling the corridor
This reminded Jing Yu of his previous life when he was looking for a job during graduation.
"So many people?" Jing Yu said in surprise.

At a glance, most of them are beautiful and handsome handsome men and women. Even some students who are obviously middle and high school students are brought to try their luck by their parents who have learned the news. There are also many people who are obviously dressed as professionals. Those are probably some People from the performing arts agency.

"The current students all have dreams. Anyone can dream of becoming a big star in film and television dramas. It's nothing." Liu Neng said.

"Our current situation is pretty good. In a few days, Jiang Shiqing's new drama will also have an audition for actors. By then, the number of people who will come will be several times that of here."

"To be honest, I'm still a little nervous." Liu Neng led Jing Yu towards the back door of the selection room.

"White Lover and Tomorrow, the two dramas, on the surface, seem to be just the relationship between the firefighting drama and the main drama, but after tomorrow's ratings reversed, and after White Lover became a small joke in Lanzhou's winter drama, the two sides of us are inevitable. tie the knot."

"The competition in January is not only a competition between Jinhui TV and the other three major TV stations in Lanzhou, but also a competition between us and Jiang Shiqing's new drama."

In fact, the ratings in April plummeted. For Liu Neng, it was just a return to the past, working as a firefighter in the production department of the station, and continuing his career as a producer assistant.

But Liu Neng, who is almost 40 years old and has worked in Taiwan for 20 years, waited half his life for this opportunity.
This may be his only chance in this life.

He may be more important than Jing Yu to the performance of this drama in April.

Naturally, he didn't want to be a transparent person in the stage all the time.

"For the drama in April, we... No matter what, we can't miss Jiang Shiqing's new drama too much, otherwise Xu You will definitely use all means to mobilize the top management in the station and won't give us another chance." Liu Neng hesitated After a while, he said this to Jing Yu.

Jing Yu paused, he could feel Liu Neng's seriousness about April's drama.

Moreover, this kind of words are also words from the bottom of my heart.

He already tied himself and Jing Yu together by default, and treated Jiang Shiqing and Xu You as enemies in the workplace.

Jing Yu said after being silent for a few seconds.

"Don't worry. April, we won't lose. We will win, and we will win Jiang Shiqing's new play with an absolute advantage."

Jing Yu pushed open the back door of the meeting room, and the staff inside had already made arrangements.

The piano, violin and other musical instruments that Jing Yu requested have been placed in the center, and at the front of the room are the judges' seats for himself and Liu Neng.

At the main entrance, the staff of Jinhui TV temporarily recorded the list of people who came to the audition. They are familiar with this kind of work.

Jing Yu looked at the time
In another 10 minutes, the actor audition for this work in April will officially begin.
