Chapter 266 Audition, 8-Year Newcomer Contract
Seeing Lin Nan coming, Huang Bo started to complain.
Good guy, Ning Hao can save millions this time just on actor's salary.
It really killed the actors I had worked with before.
"I got all this with favors, yes, and Director Lin's face, haha..."
Hearing this, Lin Nan knew that Ning Hao was definitely not joking, this was a lie.
"Where are the preparations now?" Lin Nan asked with a gloomy face.
"There's nothing wrong with the costumes and styling, it's just that there was something wrong with the casting."
"What went wrong?"
"It's not easy to choose the male lead. You have to have the temperament of a ruffian and a gangster, but also the air of an honest person. After all, he finally embarked on the "right" path."
At this time, Huang Bo interrupted. "I think I can act, but Ning Hao said I was too old and ugly, which made me very angry..."
"Do not talk."
Lin Nan interrupted Huang Bo and muttered in his mind: "The temperament of a ruffian, an honest person, and a positive image of a small person! Don't you have two of them under your control?"
"Director Lin, what's wrong with you?" Huang Bo asked.
Lin Nan looked at Ning Hao, "How about I have someone try it out?"
As soon as the words came out, Ning Hao and Huang Bo were stunned.
"You're not talking about Zhang Yi, are you? That's fine with him. You can let him try." Ning Hao thought for a moment and agreed.
"More than one, plus the one I just signed a few days ago, come together."
"Director Lin is so confident in his employees? That's okay, you can let them all come over.
But there is no such thing as blocking people here..."
Ning Hao asked jokingly.
…………
When they returned to the company, Zhang Yi and Lei Jiayin were already waiting in the office.
Lin Nan saw the two of them chatting and laughing, and it was obvious that they were having a good conversation.
Sure enough, they are of the same kind...like-minded.
"Director Lin, you didn't make it clear on the phone. Please tell us everything now. You must have read the movie script."
Zhang Yi is an old man and said it directly.
Lin Nan glared angrily, "The character in Ning Hao's new movie matches your temperament very well. I told him to let you two audition."
I saw Zhang Yi and Lei Jiayin. Their originally small eyes suddenly opened a little wider, and their bodies sat upright.
"I didn't expect that such a good thing would happen just after signing the company contract, haha."
Lei Jiayin rubbed his hands, looking eager to try.
"You two are going to compete for a male lead based on your strength. Don't be so embarrassed that you are eliminated."
Lin Nan's eyes wandered between the two of them and he said maliciously.
Zhang Yi and Lei Jiayin looked at each other, a little embarrassed. They had a good conversation just now, but now they are rivals.
"Director Lin, if they are all eliminated, then it will definitely not happen. Are we going now?"
"Go ahead."
Lin Nan waved his hand, he was looking forward to the result.
…
The script review of "Painted Skin 2" was much faster than that of the first film.
The media was the first to report it, and within half an hour, it spread throughout the circle.
"The latest movie news, the sequel of "Painted Skin" is out..."
""Painted Skin 2", an oriental magical romance film."
"Screenwriter: Lin Nan. Producer: Lin Nan Pictures."
There is very little information about "Painted Skin 2" on the Internet, and it is not even known whether the director is Lin Nan.
But this does not affect all production companies, who are paying attention to this matter.
China Film, Wanda, Guangguang, Xiying, Ningying.
Several investors of "Painted Skin 1" couldn't wait to call.
Especially for Xiying and Ningying, nearly two years after the release of "Painted Skin" in April 2008, this movie is still their largest investment in revenue.
Now that we have seen the shadow of a sequel, how can we not be anxious!
"Director Lin, you have to take care of the township party..."
…
Han Sanping was more direct on the phone: when will it open, what is the budget, investment ratio...
Shangying, who fell behind when filming the first film, also hopes to get on board this time.
Several companies have taken over everything, and they all want to know Lin Nan's specific arrangements this time.
"Haha, I feel like I'm being pushed forward."
Huang Xiaoming tentatively asked Lin Nan if it was the original team this time, but Lin Nan just told him to wait for news.
But Zhou Xun, Lin Nan had told her about this before, and now her mentality is much more stable.
"Let me know after you've decided on the shooting time, and I can free up the schedule for you."
Zhou Xun's tone was lazy, giving people the feeling of not waking up.
"Did you drink again?" Lin Nan could hear Zhou Xun's state on the phone.
"I drank a little. Didn't my agent tell me that the script of "Painted Skin 2" has been reviewed? I put down my glass and called..."
"Thank you, please keep drinking."
"Okay, see you later. Hiccup..."
Good guy, Lin Nan really admires Zhou Xun. He grew up in a wine vat in his last life, right?
There are many companies eyeing "Painted Skin 2", and even more actors.
Lin Nan made an announcement to the outside world, saying that when the project was approved, it would be made public, which made many actors feel at ease.
…
"Didn't you ask him if there is a role suitable for you this time?"
Cai Yinong looked at Hu Ge and asked.
The latter was a little helpless, "I asked, Director Lin said it's not urgent yet, there may be adjustments later."
In Cai Yinong's opinion, the meaning of "not in a hurry" and "with adjustments" means that there is a high probability that Hu Ge is out of luck! After all, Shanhai Media is signing people...
Lin Nan is answering the phone right now.
Jiang Xirou said she saw a very different girl.
"Why is she different?"
Lin Nan was quite interested. Yue Jun and Jiang Xirou should be studying at the theater right now.
"A very beautiful girl, soft and tender."
Jiang Xirou's wording made Lin Nan a little confused. Soft and tender?
"Why, Director Jiang has an idea?"
"I have some ideas, but Director Yue said that there are very few people in the circle who sign this kind of girl, and I'm afraid it's not easy to cultivate her."
"So is she beautiful or ugly? Why is it not easy to cultivate her?"
Lin Nan was a little confused by what he said.
"She is beautiful, but she is a minority, and her beauty is a little different from ours. I don't know if it will be difficult to find a role when acting..."
Hearing this, Lin Nan roughly understood that Yue Jun and Jiang Xirou each had their own considerations, and they were both right.
"Do you have a photo? Send one to my email so I can take a look."
"Okay, I'll send it to Director Lin later."
Jiang Xirou hung up the phone and smiled at the well-behaved girl next to her.
"Take a photo now. If Director Lin agrees, we can sign you."
"Okay, I'll take it."
The girl smiled and was indeed very beautiful, attracting the attention of many students who were checking the admission list.
Yue Jun was talking to the teacher in charge of reception at Shanghai Theatre Academy. Seeing that Jiang Xirou really went to ask Lin Nan for his opinion, he didn't say anything.
"Director Yue, are you going to sign this student?"
"Director Jiang called, and it depends on what Director Lin says. This girl should have passed the final exam, right?"
"Yes, she passed. She applied for the drama and film major, and she will wait for the college entrance examination results."
Not long after, a photo was taken, and it was sent out using the computer in the Shanghai Theatre Academy office.
…………
Lin Nan looked at the photo on the computer screen and the personal information sent over, and was stunned for a moment.
Wow, you can pick up this?
"Then sign it?"
On the other side, the teacher of Shanghai Theatre Academy was talking to the girl.
"Linnan Films, you should know about it, right?"
"Yes, teacher, I know."
"If you are lucky and sign them, you should work hard. This is ahead of many people."
Jiang Xingrou's phone vibrated, and she quickly picked it up.
"Hello, Director Lin... Yeah, OK, I understand."
"Agreed?" Yue Jun asked, and several people beside him also looked over.
Jiang Xingrou nodded with a smile.
"Let's find a quiet classroom. Some things need to be made clear."
A group of people, including the girl and her family, were taken to a classroom not far away, leaving only envious eyes on the scene.
"Shanhai Media's agency contracts are generally divided into two types. Mature artist contracts and new artist contracts.
You don't need to know the former, but you should know the latter."
After Jiang Xingrou finished speaking, the girl instantly perked up and looked very serious.
"The contract for newcomers is 5-8 years, and there will be a period of growth. You will hardly be offered acting jobs in the early stage, but you will be paid, and you can study hard in school..."
When Jiang Xingrou said this, even the teachers at the Shanghai Theatre Academy thought that this treatment was very good.
"Different signing times have different treatments and plans. How long do you choose?"
Jiang Xingrou directly handed the decision to the girl and her family.
This operation stunned the teachers at the Shanghai Theatre Academy. Is there really such an agency?
Jiang Xingrou had talked to the girl twice before. When she met for the first time, she had the idea of signing her. Today, when the results were announced, she talked about this with Lin Nan.
A few minutes later, the girl and her family made a decision.
She said a little nervously and excitedly: "I choose eight years."
Yue Jun unconsciously glanced at this little girl. Another lucky one!
"That's the 2+6 model. The company will hardly arrange notices and acting appointments for you in the first two years.
But if there is a suitable opportunity for you to practice, you can also refuse according to your own situation."
The girl nodded seriously, "I can sign the contract today."
Jiang Xirou smiled. She had gained the other party's trust in the first two times, and this time it was a natural thing.
"Director Yue, contract."
…………
Zhang Yi came back with a frustrated face.
"Director Lin, what's wrong with you? You look very happy?"
"Nothing, another newcomer was signed. Why, you were eliminated by Ning Hao?"
Lin Nan looked at Zhang Yi's face and guessed the result.
"It's not that I was eliminated by Director Ning, nor by Lei Jiayin, but by my own age."
Zhang Yi laughed like crying.
"Director Ning said that I am five years older than Lei Jiayin. Originally, my acting skills had an advantage, but he was pulled back by his young age of 5 years. I was really frustrated..."
Even Lin Nan didn't know how to comfort Zhang Yi with this reason.
