Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 369 You look like this, but you are still an actor? !
Since Yu Dongqing publicly auditioned the main actors on the Internet, many people came to audition, especially the male lead, but there were not many famous actors.

Because the remuneration given by the crew is not high.

According to Yu Dongqing, the cost of the entire film should not exceed 2000 million, so the part of the actors' remuneration should not exceed 800 million.

Ye Xiaomin, the number one female, was paid 240 million yuan for the film. According to this price, the number one male was invited, not to mention that he couldn't invite first-line actors, and even few second-line actors were willing to come.

Yu Dongqing auditioned several well-known actors in the industry, but none of them were satisfied.

After confirming the other main actors, Zhang Yang also volunteered to play an important supporting role. He played the role of an outdated star in the movie and turned into a real estate boss. The potbellied appearance in the movie fits his image and temperament.

Now only the male number one has not been determined.

On this day, Yu Dongqing auditioned two more male actors in her studio, but she was still disappointed. During the break, she went back to her office to drink tea, and was tired of watching other people's performances.

Yang Liu walked in.

Seeing him like this, he said softly, "Mr. Yu, if it's really not possible, let Xiaoxi play the leading role?"

Yu Dongqing shook her head: "I said before that Xiaoxi's image and temperament don't fit the characters in the play. He has a bit of aloofness. What I need is an actor with a sense of humor. Besides, he's too young."

Yang Liu nodded and stopped talking.

She has always wanted Gu Xiaoxi to play the male lead, so the fat will not flow to outsiders.

But Yu Dongqing didn't agree, but let Zhao Yawen play the role of the second female, the silly and sweet role in the movie.

The role picks the actor, not the actor decides the role.

"Yangliu, go do your work, I'm fine." Yu Dongqing said again.

"Okay." Yang Liu backed out and gently closed the office door.

Yu Dongqing took a sip from her teacup.

Really can't do it, do it yourself?

To be honest, in the original time and space, I acted too much, and I was really tired.

Besides, Yang Liu went out and was just about to go back to her office when a man with an unattractive appearance suddenly came out of the elevator. Seeing her, he asked politely, "Which office is Director Yu in?"

"You are?" Yang Liu stopped walking.

"I'm here to apply for the leading role." The visitor didn't beat around the bush, telling his purpose.

"you?!"

Yang Liu looked each other up and down.

The man is in his thirties, wearing a jacket and slacks, which is quite decent, but this face
With your appearance, you are still an actor? !
Brother, it's not your fault that you are ugly, it's good to be an ordinary person honestly, and you want to act in a movie, it's your fault.

Of course you can't say that.

"I'm sorry, Director Yu is very busy now, so I don't have time to see you."

"It's okay, I can wait." The man said hastily;

"Don't wait, he won't see you, you can go." Yang Liu refused straight away.

The man was anxious when he heard that.

"Didn't your official Weibo say that you are applying for an actor? I just came to audition, why doesn't it count?!

"You're so ugly!" Yang Liu couldn't bear it, so she said it.

"Hey, how do you talk? Am I ugly? Am I ugly?! As the saying goes, people cannot be judged by their appearance, and sea water cannot be measured. Are you choosing an actor or a beauty pageant?"

The noise in the corridor alarmed Yu Dongqing, he walked out the door, frowned and asked, "What's the matter? What are you talking about?"

Yang Liu hurried over and said in a low voice, "Mr. Yu, this man said he wanted to play the leading role, but look at his appearance."

Yu Dongqing looked a little amused.

As an actor, he looks a bit awkward.

In this way, Yu Dongqing remembered Huang Bo in that time and space.

This immediately aroused his interest.

"Yang Liu, let him in." After speaking, he turned and entered the room.

The man then walked in, looking a little restrained.

"Sit down." Yu Dongqing greeted; "What's your surname?"

"Liu Yi"

"What movie have you acted in?" Yu Dongqing asked again.

The man suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"I have acted in a few films, but they are all small roles and not very well-known."

"Oh, which school did you graduate from?"

"I didn't go to a formal film school, but I went to a three-month short-term training course for actors in Beijing Film Academy." Liu Yibo said truthfully.

Another grassroots origin.

Not as good as Huang Bo.

At any rate, he is still in the vocational class of Beijing Film Academy.

Seeing Yu Dongqing remain silent.

Liu Yi also sighed in his heart.

To be honest, I really can't come up with something to be proud of.

It is estimated that there is no play.

He was just about to stand up and leave when he suddenly heard Yu Dongqing say: "Mr. Liu, let me tell you a play, try to act it again."

audition?

Liu Yi suddenly felt ecstatic.

Finally give yourself a chance!

Seeing that Yu Dongqing had already started to narrate the scene, he hastened to listen carefully.

Yu Dongqing was talking about a classic scene in the script.It was the female protagonist who helped the male protagonist who was pretending to be blind to go to the piano. As a result, there was a bouquet of flowers, a pool of blood, and a dead man on the ground.

"You just act out the hero's walking movements and demeanor." Yu Dongqing said.

"Where's the actress supporting the hero?" Liu Yi asked.

"No, imagine for yourself."

Liu Yi froze for a moment, then looked at Yu Dongqing who was sitting on the sofa with a calm face.

"I'll try." Liu Yibo took a deep breath, controlled his emotions, and imagined the scene of pretending to be a blind person.

Start walking slowly.

Walking cautiously, leaning slightly, as if someone is helping.
Seeing everything on the ground, the muscles on the left face twitched slightly but immediately returned to calm
Being supported by a woman, he walked around the corpse very carefully, and his walking posture was slightly weird.

"Okay, stop!"

Liu Yi quickly stopped.

"How is it? Director Yu?" Liu Yi was a little nervous.

"It's not bad. If you pass it, you will play the leading role." Yu Dongqing smiled.

"Okay, thank you, I will try my best!" Liu Yibo was ecstatic, but tried hard to control his emotions.

"Okay, let's talk about the salary next step, sit down, sit down."

Yu Dongqing greeted with a smile.

Ten minutes later, Liu Yi came out of the office with a relaxed expression on his face.

I can finally play the leading role in a movie, even though it's just a low-budget movie.

100 million salary.
It's a bit lower than I expected.

But being able to play the leading role is already very good!
Thinking of this, Liu Yi became happier.

After Liu Yi left, Yu Dongqing called Li Wan: "Li Wan, the number one actor has been found, and his name is Liu Yi. I'll ask Yang Liu to send you his information in a while."

"Liu Yi? I seem to have heard the name of this actor, how much is the salary?"

"100."

"Heh, 100 million is enough? Can't it be a parallel import?"

"Do you think I will ask for parallel imports?" Yu Dongqing was a little displeased.

"All right, you're the one who checks the actors, then we can start filming. I'll choose an auspicious day."

"Okay, you decide."

After hanging up the phone, Yu Dongqing smiled slightly.

Parallel imports?

Maybe this Liu Yi is like Huang Bo in that time and space, giving people unexpected surprises.
