This audition was really weird.
It’s so strange that Ni Bingyan has been in this industry for almost twenty years in his two lifetimes combined, and has never seen or even heard of him.
Ni Bingyan didn't give the script in advance because he thought it needed to be kept secret, but on the day of the audition, he still wasn't given the script.
That's all. She has experienced this kind of thing a few times and can still accept it.
As a result, when I arrived at the company early in the morning, the first thing I did was not to queue up to get my license plate, but...
"Come on, Bingbing, let's take off our makeup first."
When Ni Bingyan is not working, she likes to go out without makeup, but today she has to audition anyway, so she carefully puts on light makeup.
As a result, she arrived at the agreed-upon thirteenth floor. As soon as she got out of the elevator and before she could see who was coming, a familiar staff member greeted her with a kind smile and started to take her to remove her makeup.
Seeing that the visitor was Li Wen, an old employee of the Human Resources Department, and knowing that she had a gentle personality and was easy to talk to, Ni Bingyan asked directly: "Sister Wen, you didn't say that you would not have any makeup when you notified her before?"
Some movies pursue originality and require actors to appear without makeup. It is normal not to wear makeup during auditions, but usually they will be notified in advance.
Don’t tell me in advance, but when you arrive dressed beautifully, you are asked to remove your makeup first. Isn’t this a waste of time?
You know, in order to put on makeup, she didn't even have time to exercise in the morning.
Hearing her ask, it was obvious that this was not the first time Li Wen answered today, with a very helpless tone: "Mr. Wu specifically told me that nude makeup is popular recently."
This is because I am afraid that I will be misled, so whether I am wearing makeup or not, it is most reliable to take it off first when I come.
Ni Bingyan has a regular schedule and eats a healthy diet. She is naturally fair-skinned and loves to exercise. Her skin condition is very good, so she is not in vain.
After asking about the situation, he didn't embarrass anyone and followed him without saying a word.
After wiping my face and coming out, I thought it was time to get down to business, right? As a result, Li Wen waved her hand and took her into the next room.
There were curtains hanging in the room. When I heard the door open, another smiling staff member came out with a measuring tape.
After briefly greeting Li Wen, he called Ni Bingyan into the curtain.
After entering, ask her to raise her arms and stand there, and use a measuring tape to measure her body measurements, shoulder width, arm length, leg length...
After measuring, he turned his back to Ni Bingyan and took notes on the computer.
During the whole process, Ni Bingyan remained silent, which made the curses next to him seem particularly harsh:
"I'm sick! You have to have your height measured for the audition! Isn't it in the information? You have to take off your shoes to measure! I told you I'm wearing sneakers! Take them off, take them off!"
"Forget it if you don't take it off, next one!"
As soon as the very cold words came out, the man stepped on the scale.
It seems that he also knows what this audition is for.
Ni Bingyan heard clearly through the curtain and knew who the person was.
I've long heard that this young lady has a bad temper. I didn't expect it to be so bad. Tsk~
Three unsolved mysteries about female celebrities: Have they had plastic surgery? How old are you? What is your height?
Not to mention the first two, let’s just say that she is not very tall. In order to have better proportions, she wears high heels almost everywhere she goes. If she doesn’t wear high heels, she also wears a booster pad.
To ask such a person to measure her height barefoot is like forcing her to abandon her armor before going to the battlefield.
No wonder he cursed.
After the measurement, the person holding the measuring tape asked the person measuring the height: "Can you come over?"
When she heard the question, the eldest lady had just cursed someone. She was afraid that she would be embarrassed when she met Ni Bingyan, so she quickly finished the measurement and left.
Sister Pi Chi smiled and opened the curtain and called Ni Bingyan over.
After passing by, I saw the staff member with a straight face and a very cold voice: "Take off your shoes and come up."
With the lessons learned there, Ni Bingyan would not feel uncomfortable.
Anyway, she was tall, so she wasn't afraid to have her height measured. She just took off her shoes and stood on the scale.
The overhead baffle was pushed down, and the height and weight were quickly recorded.
"Nima! What are you doing? Are you going to interrogate criminals?"
The eldest lady next to him was cursing again. After she opened the door and left, Ni Bingyan opened the curtain and went over.
This time I took photos, front, side, back...
No wonder the one scolded him more fiercely.
With such a temperament, she can still get ahead in the entertainment industry, but without him, her family has a mine, and her boss only cares about her father, so he will call her for any good deeds.
As for whether you can get opportunities based on your skills, that's not something the boss needs to consider.
After all, the company is big and the competition is big. If unhealthy tendencies arise, it will be difficult to lead the team.
Knowing that in a movie of this level, the eldest lady would just make up the numbers, Ni Bingyan didn't trust her at all.
She was thinking about it right now, why do these things need to be measured in auditions?
If it weren't for the X-ray, she would have doubted whether the company had arranged a physical examination?
It's almost as if the emperor in ancient times only had to ask an old lady to check the film when choosing a concubine.
No one cared what train was running in her mind. After these tests, the staff led her to 1401 upstairs.
There was a set of sofas in the room, and snacks and water were placed on the coffee table. Three people had already arrived before her, all of whom were top-notch actresses in the company who also had trophies.
Sure enough, the eldest lady was kicked out before she even got to this step.
When Ni Bingyan came in, they were smiling in front of the plastic sisters, chatting about their skin care secrets.
Secretly, I want to scratch the opponent's face to pieces, but here we are talking about this, tsk, they are all acting!
Seeing her coming, the three of them immediately stopped talking.
It's like playing mahjong. The three of them have similar playing skills and similar family backgrounds. They play together every day and one of them is missing. Suddenly, the Cuihua next door married a big boss. In the blink of an eye, she was wearing gold and silver and was so rich that she insisted on coming over to sit at a table with them. Then, Must not!
They had the same idea - they could still pretend to be plastic sisters with these two, but it was better to say goodbye to Ni Bingyan.
It's best not to sit together at all.
Firstly, Ni Bingyan has an outstanding temperament and good looks. No one wants to be compared to her. Secondly, they have struggled for many years to get their trophies. Only Ni Bingyan, after so many years since his debut, suddenly took off. , I got a bunch of trophies, including two very important ones, which made me so jealous that I had no friends!
Ni Bingyan also noticed their rejection.
There are very few ugly ones among female artists, and Brother Film and Television is a giant in the industry. There are a lot of female stars of similar status. Seeing these three beauties with their own characteristics, Ni Bingyan immediately possessed the spirit of fighting!
Enemies! When it comes to resources, you, Sister Bing, will fight for every inch of land!
Sister Wei usually protects her, but this is the first time Ni Bingyan has come into contact with them, so he immediately stood up and prepared for them!
"Haha, everyone is here, come on, let's go next door."
The artist manager who just walked in didn't seem to notice anything. Everyone who met the requirements came and didn't waste any time.
The four of them immediately followed him.
There are four tables and four chairs next door. The tables are covered with felt mats and rice paper is spread on the mats.
"I don't know what kind of pen you like. Choose one yourself, and then write and draw as you please, as long as it shows your true skills."
Seeing that he was going to investigate this, Ni Bingyan made up his mind.
Some people were dissatisfied: "Since when do you have to do this kind of filming yourself? Aren't you going to have a replacement?"
Mr. Wu opened the door and came in: "This play does not require a substitute."
Among the other three people, one looked ashen, while another looked happy.
Ni Bingyan stepped forward and wrote a few lines neatly.
I was afraid that I couldn't write regular script, so I wrote running script and cursive script.
After writing, she drew a fluffy little chicken, pecking at earthworms, which was so vivid.
After the calligraphy and painting test, the four of them were led to the next door.
There are various classical musical instruments inside.
"Choose one you know how to do."
Someone said: "I can play the piano."
Someone said: "I can play the guitar."
Before anyone else could speak, Mr. Wu replied with a straight face: "There are no Western instruments this time."
Someone tried his best on Guzheng and directly played a piece of "Ambush from Flying Daggers". It was so sonorous and powerful!
Ni Bingyan was not very good at musical instruments, so he had to pick up a flute and simply played the song "Wu Ning Mei".
After the musical instrument test, everyone went to dance next door.
The original owner had been dancing classically since elementary school, and Ni Bingyan never slacked off after traveling through time. Because he strengthened his fitness, he became more resilient than the original owner's softness. If he danced to a random song, the dance teacher would say yes again and again.
After the dance, they were taken to a large, empty room, where there were knives, forks, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, and eighteen weapons.
Ni Bingyan climbed up from the bottom in his last life, and even knows how to make special effects. He just made a few simple gestures, which was not false at all. He picked up a long sword of suitable weight and performed a sword dance.
"Okay, that's it! Go back and wait for news."
Ni Bingyan didn't know how he behaved. After seeing what was going on, he went directly to Wei Shujie's office.
"how do you feel?"
Wei Shujie looked at her with a smile.
"They said they would go back and wait for news. I don't know what the specific results will be!"
Ni Bingyan sighed, poured a glass of water to drink, then found a chair to sit down, and then told her about this weird audition.
"Are you confused?"
Wei Shujie still laughed.
It's obvious that he knows something.
"It feels like choosing a concubine."
Ni Bingyan sighed again.
"Okay, stop sighing!"
Wei Shujie was helpless.
"Don't you always keep things in mind but don't say anything?"
If she hadn't gone to Zhou Dawei's wedding and met Xu Liangyu, she might not have known about it!
"What should I tell you about things that haven't been decided? It's just a waste of energy for you to think about it all day long. Why don't you do something else! If you really have good resources, why don't I grab them?"
Ni Bingyan held his chin and looked out the window without saying anything.
Wei Shujie knew that she was feeling awkward, so he said:
"Don't think that Xu Liangyu is really a big mouth. Let me tell you, his big mouth only targets a few people he likes. It doesn't matter whether there are dates or not, you will never suffer a loss if you stick with him. He doesn't care whether the news will be good or not. It will mess up your life.”
Ni Bingyan admitted that she was indeed excited for a long time after receiving the news.
But after knowing that the female lead in this movie tended to be an older actor, I didn’t think twice about it.
It is not easy for actresses. As they get older, there are fewer roles suitable for them. If they insist on grabbing such roles, not to mention whether they overestimate their abilities, doing so will really offend people.
She didn't necessarily have to fight for the role, but her seniors in the same company wanted to offend her severely, and she wasn't out of her mind.
Isn't it because she was notified to audition that she has renewed expectations now?
Now that she had this opportunity, she naturally wanted to fight for it.
What’s wrong with wanting to get more information?
Wei Shujie knew, but didn't tell her, she would definitely be unhappy!
"Okay, don't lose your temper, come here and listen to me."
Ni Bingyan immediately smiled and moved his chair closer. How could he still look a little angry?
"You say it, you say it, I'm listening to it!"
"Didn't I tell you before that I notified you to come for the audition because the script was changed? I was still surprised at the time. It was just a change in the script, not the heroine's character. Later I found out that the script should have been changed. The original script was temporarily shelved because the company did not have suitable actors."
"It's all been discussed at the meeting, why is it being shelved temporarily? Isn't this a joke?"
"Several projects were proposed during the meeting, and this was just one of them."
Awards are a very important part of a brokerage company's training of artists, and a lot of their daily work naturally revolves around this aspect.
It is normal to set the work arrangements for the next year in the first year and then continue to adjust them according to specific circumstances the following year.
Ni Bingyan realized that the news Xu Liangyu gave was indeed a bit like wind is rain.
Compared with Wei Shujie's reliability, he is indeed much less reliable.
The dissatisfaction with Wei Shujie in my heart immediately dissipated.
"This year our company is mainly promoting "The Grandmaster". Various awards will be closely related to this movie. I will definitely not let my own family compete in the competition. There is nothing wrong with shelving this big project for the time being. You can't plant a sycamore tree and let someone else's Phoenix comes to live.”
After saying that, Wei Shujie also sighed.
Since the death of their first sister, their company has been missing an international film queen who can carry the banner. Although the company has made a lot of efforts, the new first sister still can't do what other companies can do.
This can be seen from the company's just-released corporate quarterly report.
Since she started investing, Ni Bingyan has ordered herself an authoritative economic newspaper, and she has read her company's financial reports.
Not only had she read it, she had also analyzed it privately.
Compared with the same period last year, Brother Film and Television's profits fell by 4% in the first quarter of this year.
For such a large company, 4% is already quite a lot.
If it doesn't want to continue to be bad, the company must find a way to get through this period of weakness.
Whether it's cooperating with other top movie queens or recruiting a new movie queen in your own company, it's always a good idea.
The company now has good projects, which are used to promote its own artists, but the artists are not qualified and cannot support them. If they launch the project rashly, it is destined to be a tragedy. They are used to promote outsiders, but they are not willing to do so.
After all, how can a one-time deal be used to improve one's own people?
"So at the meeting the day before yesterday, the superiors came up with a new idea. The quality is not enough, so we have to make up the quantity. We plan to cultivate a few more domestic movie queens. When you develop and the popularity of "Grandmaster" has passed, we will plan to let you launch an international project. attack."
Wei Shujie didn't say anything, but Ni Bingyan already understood.
Faced with such a situation, the company still did not mess up its position, but decided to play it slow and steady, letting them decide the winner first, and then favoring the one who broke out of the siege.
After all, there are too many variables.
"Then today's interview..."
"Those eliminated from the height and weight measurement room are those whose hard conditions are not that superior. There will be a batch of scripts for them to choose from. The last four remaining have carefully prepared award-winning works to choose from. As for you, besides You can choose one and get an audition to pass that one.”
It seems that she ranked first in the second round of exams.
The company is really getting serious and is going to start making a lot of stars!
"What are the options?"
Even if the two movies are shot quickly, they will still have to be shot next year. If the difficulty is high, they may have to be busy throughout next year.
The cold reality made her understand one thing. It was best to win all the domestic awards first. Now that Xiao wants to go international, she is simply not clear-headed.
Films that are expected to win domestic awards are also good choices for her.
"Let's choose one of these four first, don't delay others' choices."
If she chooses one, others will have one less option. This feeling is quite exciting.
