Chapter 43: Male lead audition

Chapter Forty Three
Xie Ning thought that the audition was to find a room. The director and a group of people sat behind the table, and the actors came in one by one to perform, just like an interview.
Zhuang Yan took it into the building and realized that it didn't seem to be the case.
The elevator stopped on the 7th floor, and when you exited the elevator, there was a long corridor facing you.
On the outer side of the corridor is a row of spacious floor-to-ceiling windows. Looking out, you can still see the scene of people flowing in and out under the floor.
Xie Ning breathed slightly and leaned in without a trace.
This is so close to Zhuang Yan, his elbow accidentally hits his arm while walking.
Zhuang Yan only regarded him as "throwing in his arms", and took advantage of the trend to take people into his arms.
The corners of his mouth stirred up a shallow arc: "I also said that I don't know how to converge, and you haven't converged much."
Xie Ning paled, trying to stare at him, but not knowing what he remembered, silently hugged his arm.
Zhuang Yan looked out the window, then looked at Xie Ning's face, suddenly.
He lowered his voice, approached Xie Ning's ear and asked, "Are you... fear of heights?"
The ears were a little itchy by the sound of breathing close at hand, and the tips of Xie Ning's ears moved, and the sense of fear in his heart eased somewhat.
He nodded: "Yes, a little bit."
Zhuang Yan looked at the tips of his ears, which he didn't know if he was afraid of red or blushing, smiled silently in his heart, and pulled the person to his other side: "Will it be better to walk inside?"
Xie Ning looked straight forward, not daring to look either way at all, and nodded: "It's better."
The voice was still soft.
Zhuang Yan asked as he walked: "I have never seen you so scared before, and I don't know you are afraid of heights."
Xie Ning: "The lower floor is okay, the fourth floor is up...you can't look down."
Zhuang Yan was curious: "The first time I heard about the fear of heights, it depends on the number of floors."
Xie Ning licked her lips unconsciously: "This fear of heights is... psychological."
Zhuang Yan raised his eyebrows thoughtfully, and then asked, "How do you feel when you look down?"
Xie Ning's face turned paler, closed her eyes, and then said for a while: "I feel... I will jump down."
Zhuang Yan was taken aback.
He was stunned, and a group of people came crashing in front of him, who happened to hit the door of the conference room.
Xie Ning glanced around and found that in addition to Zhao Yang and a deputy director he knew, there were several others he had not seen.
It seems that they don't dress like ordinary people, but they are here to audition, and they don't have that kind of temperament—some of them don't even age.
The most outstanding one was about the same height as Zhuang Yan, and he was extremely well-dressed, and anyone in that crowd could see him at first sight.
He looks too good, looks good, his facial features are angular, his lips are slightly raised, and he looks gentle and elegant, with a different kind of romance.
Xie Ning subconsciously glanced twice more until Zhuang Yan was pulled into the meeting room.
Taking advantage of no one's attention, Zhao Yang walked two steps quickly to get close to them, joking in a low voice: "Why do you guys feel like you have glued on, you are not happy after a little separation? You have to bring the audition?"
"What nonsense?" Zhuang Yan glared at him with a slanted eye, and pulled Xie Ning to sit down beside him.
Zhao Yang didn't mind, he pulled the chair on the other side of Xie Ning, and after sitting down, he introduced other people to Xie Ning in a low voice.
"That's the person in charge of Wenxin, Wang Congliang, you should know Wenxin, we are another big investor in this movie, and the few next to him are also investors, but the amount is not as big as Wenxin..."
Xie Ning nodded as he listened, and respected the fathers of the gold masters.
Looking at him like this, Zhao Yang said cheerfully: "Don't be too restrictive. It's your family manager who invests the most. He has a lot of money. Every time he makes up for the difference, he is not afraid of losing money."
Xie Ning estimated the investment cost of this movie, and then compared his funds with the dealer behind Zhuang Yan, and suddenly he was not so restrained.
Thinking like this, he raised his head and glanced at the other side, only to realize that other people's gazes also fell on him.
Especially the most outstanding person, who looked at him with a smile, a flash of scrutiny in his eyes.
Xie Ning didn't know why, but he didn't detect malice from him, so he didn't feel relieved, and blinked when he met him.
The man was taken aback, then smiled at him, looked away, and whispered something to the people around him.
What Xie Ning didn't know was that today was indeed the actor's audition, but only one person came to the audition, Sheng Shisong.
Before Wenxin wanted to become the hero of Sheng Shisong, Zhuang Yan would not let go. In the end, Wen Xin could only take a step back and gave Sheng Shisong a priority audition right, and the investment amount also shrank.
When Zhuang Yan brought Xie Ning into the door, the investors croaked.
Without him, because Xie Ning was born too well and had an extraordinary temperament, Wang Congliang suspected that Zhuang Yan came to the stage to fight against the peak.
In the film industry, the actor that the director fancy and the actor that the investor fancy is often not the same, and the final result is often not determined by the actor. It depends on who is more confident.
After all, it is the battlefield of capital.
"I don't think he came to audition for the leading actor." When the party was full, he was calm and relaxed.
Sitting next to him was the agent Chen Guangbin. Hearing this, he couldn't help but glared at him: "It's really the emperor who is not in a hurry."
After a pause, I couldn't help but ask: "How to say?"
Sheng Shisong said: "It doesn't look like it, but at first glance it is an amateur with no acting experience."
Chen Guangbin was dumb: "Students are more competitive. Some directors just like to use amateurs. They say they are simple and natural, and they can better shape them into what they want."
Sheng Shisong thought for a while: "Then he can't do it either. If you use an amateur, your temperament will definitely be more appropriate. What he said..."
Chen Guangbin became curious: "How is he?"
In the prime of his time, the corner of his lips was lifted: "The temperament is too cold, the eyes are too innocent, and the image of the actor is a thousand miles away. You have also read the script. The actor is a volatile and frivolous family son, romantic but not indecent. It is a great challenge to let a person with no acting experience take on it. No matter how dissatisfied with me, Director Zhuang will not choose this kind of temperament that is completely incompatible."
Chen Guangbin listened to him so eloquently, but let down a little bit of worry in his heart, and wondered: "But what does Director Zhuang do to bring people here?"
Sheng Shimatsu hesitated for a moment: "In fact, his temperament is quite consistent with another character..."
Chen Guangbin: "Which one?"
Sheng Shisong: "The second male number, that glamorous, upright and famous actor."
After a pause, he himself vetoed it again: "...It's not very good either. That role requires a certain drama foundation."
Chen Guangbin thought about it for a while, and none of the other important roles were suitable for him. He simply stopped thinking about it: "It doesn't matter which role he is, don't just grab the lead with you."
Sheng Shisong nodded, and then provoked a smile: "Even if someone comes to grab it, I may not be able to grab it."
Although Zhuang Yan returned to China not long ago, he is already notoriously difficult in the investment circle.
In the film industry, there are not directors without a bad temper. They are a little arrogant and have a bad personality, but at any rate, if you drop it at a high price, everyone can shut up.
But Zhuang Yan can't do it. He can double back as much as you drop.
If it were not for Wenxin to have produced too many commercial films for making money in the past two years, and his word of mouth had fallen to the extreme, he would not have chosen Zhuang Yan's films.
A group of people chatted for a while in the conference room, then Wang Congliang took the lead and brought the topic to today's audition.
Wang Congliang’s Mediterranean hairstyle is shiny today because he touched the hairspray: "We have finished dividing the cake. Today we will mainly watch the audition. Let’s not say much. Let’s watch Shisong perform."
As he said that, he once again promoted Sheng Shisong to Zhuang Yan. What an excellent acting skill and a box office guarantee, Yu Guang couldn't help Xie Ning turning around.
Zhuang Yan just didn't see it, and turned to Xie Ning and said, "Sheng Shisong, today I will audition for the male lead."
Xie Ning glanced at Sheng Shisong, and now he felt familiar: "It seems a bit of an impression. Have you ever acted in The Lawyer?"
"The Lawyer" is a commercial film produced by Wenxin. At that time, the box office was too high, but the word of mouth was polarized. A group of people praised it, and a group of people was worse than a bad film. It was a pure money-trapping work.
Xie Ning was taken to the cinema by Yan Xi at that time. Because it was not his favorite style, I didn't feel much about it.
But Yan Xi especially liked this film. At that time, there was a violent quarrel with people on the Internet.
In short, there is no conclusion whether it is a good movie or a bad movie. Therefore, the topicality of the movie is not generally high.
In the end, both sides were labeled as hype.
Listening to their conversation, Wang Congliang turned his attention to Xie Ning and asked, "...this is?"
Zhuang Yan introduced: "Xie Ning."
Seeing Wang Congliang's confused face, he added: "Being the Xie family of the real economy, have you heard of it?"
Suddenly, Wang Congliang, the rich second-generation investment in the film and television industry is nothing new.
Zhuang Yan gave a number: "My investment there is half of his."
Taking advantage of the slack in the prime of time, Xie Ning held Zhuang Yan blankly: "What did you mean by that?"
Zhuang Yan rubbed his hair: "Said it is the main artist, I am afraid they will look down on you. Today is either the boss or the famous producer."
"I'm not asking this." Xie Ning tugged at his sleeve. "When did I invest half of your money?"
"This." Zhuang Yan responded with a smile before saying, "Although it is not there yet, one day there will be half of yours."
Xie Ning was even more confused: "You don't mean that the funds are already saturated, and I never thought about investing."
Zhuang Yan chuckled, "Should not have half of your husband and wife's common property?"
Xie Ning: "..."
He looked at Zhuang Yan, who was calm, and couldn't help but start thinking wildly.
Is this progress of Zhuang Yan not on the same channel as him? Before he agreed, Zhuang Yan started talking about marriage.
If he agrees, would Zhuang Yan...
Thinking about it, he threw away Zhuang Yan's hand, and his cheeks were inexplicably stained with Xia Hong.
What are you thinking about at this time!
Before today, Xie Ning had been trying to figure out the image of the male lead.
To be honest, in this script written by Zhuang Yan, the hero is not a pleasing character.
He is romantic and turbulent, and lingers among all kinds of beauties. He is the image of a playboy.
But he is responsible and affectionate. After falling in love with Bai Yueguang at first sight in the teahouse, he will never forget it until the end of the play.
If the actor fails to grasp the charm of his personality, he will either play the protagonist as a disgusting scumbag or appear to have a split personality.
Xie Ning also always wondered what kind of person such a protagonist would be, and can anyone really shape it.
Until he saw Sheng Shisong's interpretation.
He auditioned for the scene where the hero and Bai Yueguang first met.
Bai Yueguang was sitting in the rickshaw, looking back inadvertently as he passed downstairs, the male protagonist glanced down from the teahouse.
The props on site are very simple, just a table and a few paper cups.
When I twist my fingertips on the cup like this in the prime, the romantic and suave taste comes out.
The corners of his lips were smiling, and his eyes were full of careless taste. The paper cup was like a ceramic cup in a teahouse, and it made a crisp sound under the light tap of the fingertips.
After a while, Yue Mo felt bored. He tilted his head and looked at the window casually, the impact stopped suddenly.
The careless emotions gradually dissipated.
A touch of surprise flashed just right in his eyes.
I don't know if it is a coincidence or an accident.
Sheng Shisong's gaze at that moment happened to fall on Xie Ning.
"OK." Zhuang Yan interrupted him with a cold face.
Sheng Shi Song retracted his gaze and returned to his original gentle and upright appearance.
Xie Ning's gaze lingered on Sheng Shi Song for a while, and suddenly it seemed like a divine enlightenment, and he understood what was missing in the style he designed for the hero before.
With inspiration, he couldn't help but grabbed Zhuang Yan's hand next to him.
Zhuang Yan paused, and then said blankly to Sheng Shisong: "This paragraph is fine, try the next paragraph."
The author has something to say: 　　 Zhuangzhuang: You are not allowed to think of my Ningning like that.
Ningning: (eyes light up) I have inspiration!
Zhuangzhuang: (Jealous)
