Guo Fan has seen too many actors leave immediately because the salary is not suitable, so he must make it clear to Liu Shanghua before starting the audition.
He didn't want to wait until the audition was over before telling the other person. This would be a complete waste of other people's time.
Guo Fan thought about whether to explain the remuneration clearly over the phone, but he finally gave up.
People can only clearly know each other's true thoughts when they are face to face. Many things cannot be conveyed correctly over the phone.
For Guo Fan, he definitely hopes that Liu Shanghua can join the wandering crew.
Therefore, in this case, only by meeting can he have a chance to impress the other person.
Guo Fan then explained the current budget situation of the crew to Liu Shanghua in detail.
After Liu Shanghua heard Guo Fan's words, he hesitated for a few seconds. Regardless of the look in his manager Sister He's eyes, he said: "Director Guo, it's okay. I can star in it for free!"
"Now the country is also vigorously developing technology-related cultural industries. I feel that as a Longguo native, I should do my part."
When Guo Fan and others heard this, they all looked happy.
Jiang Chen even spoke silently in his heart.
As expected of Guo Fan, Liu Shanghua, a king-level figure of his generation, actually agreed to star in the film for zero pay!
What a talent.
"Thank you, Brother Hua, for being willing to help us!"
"Then I won't say much more!"
"Brother Hua, this is the content of the audition. There is only a short scene. You watch it first. When you are ready, we will start."
As he said this, Guo Fan handed Liu Shanghua a script.
There is very little content in the script, only a scene with 550A.
The whole scene is very simple, just take out the 550A from the corner and start it.
Liu Shanghua estimates that the entire scene will only take about five minutes to complete. The actions are very simple and there are no lines.
Liu Shanghua, who has been filming for more than 40 years, has never seen anything. For him, this kind of shot is a piece of cake!
Liu Shanghua learned how to turn on the 550A button under Jiang Chen's guidance.
Jiang Chen's explanation was very simple and clear, allowing Liu Shanghua to understand it immediately.
He couldn't help but admire that the people in Guo Fan's crew were professional and did not connect the young man in front of him with the currently popular Academician Jiang.
The audition begins.
Liu Shanghua carefully picked up the white 550A from the ground.
He placed the 550A on the table next to him and opened the 550A according to Jiang Chen's prompt just now.
He looked at the screen, a bit of anticipation and nervousness flashing in his eyes.
Originally, the audition ended here.
But what I didn't expect was that a person appeared on the screen connected to 550A.
"dad!"
Liu Shanghua took a closer look and realized that the other person was actually a little girl.
"stop!"
Guo Fan stopped Liu Shanghua in time and continued the performance.
Guo Fan clearly knew that there was no little girl in the script just given to Liu Shanghua.
To let people continue to act is to embarrass people.
"What's going on? Why did a little girl suddenly appear?"
Guo Fan looked at Jiang Chen, wondering if the other party was planning some surprise.
Jiang Chen, who received Guo Fan's signal, shook his head innocently, indicating that he didn't know anything.
At this time, a familiar voice sounded.
[Mr. Liu discussed the script with MOSS. MOSS knew that Mr. Liu’s character would talk to the little girl on the computer. 】
[In order to make everyone's audition work smoother, MOSS automatically generated a short video. 】
Everyone looked at Teacher Da Liu.
I thought I finally knew the culprit.
Teacher Da Liu showed a steady smile and said, "I just chatted with MOSS, but I didn't expect him to be so considerate."
"It deserves praise."
Looking at the scene happening in front of him, Liu Shanghua felt that his outlook on life had been reshaped.
"Director Guo, who was talking just now?"
Before Director Guo could explain, MOSS mobilized the projector and showed up.
Liu Shanghua looked at the sudden appearance of the young man in Tang suit and was so frightened that he took a few steps back. Sister He even held her head in panic and screamed: "Ghost!"
Sister He was usually most afraid of things like this with strange power and chaos. She was so frightened that she hurriedly hid behind a group of people.
The conference room instantly became lively.
【I am not a ghost. 】
[I am artificial intelligence MOSS, and what you see now is a virtual simulation image. 】
Artificial Intelligence MOSS?
Liu Shanghua's brain flashed with inspiration and he was the first to react.
Is it MOSS who has shown his talents internationally before?
Liu Shanghua turned to Guo Fan and said, "Director Guo, don't tell me that I will act with artificial intelligence next?"
Guo Fan smiled sheepishly and said, "Brother Hua, it's true. You and MOSS will have quite a lot of scenes next. Academician Jiang, as the props manager of our team, will follow you throughout the filming."
"I wonder if Brother Hua is willing to act with MOSS?"
There was some surprise in Liu Shanghua's tone: "Really? Great! Academician Jiang is the person in charge of the props?"
"Director Guo, can I meet Academician Jiang?"
Guo Fan pointed at Jiang Chen who was standing next to him and said, "Brother Hua, this is Academician Jiang. He taught you how to use 550A just now."
Liu Shanghua's face was full of surprise.
He did not expect that the person who just taught him how to use 550A was the legendary Academician Jiang.
Liu Shanghua was the actor after all, and he quickly realized that although the person in front of him was young, the fact that he was an academician meant that he was definitely not a mortal!
Liu Shanghua couldn't wait to walk forward and said to Jiang Chen: "Academician Jiang, I have been filming for more than 40 years, but I have never filmed with artificial intelligence!"
"I hope I can get what I want this time!"
Everyone thought that Liu Shanghua didn't like acting with artificial intelligence, but who knew that he and Jiang Chen actually offered to film with artificial intelligence!
Seeing the serious look on Liu Shanghua's face, everyone could tell that the other party was definitely not talking for fun!
He really wants to act with the artificial intelligence MOSS!
Guo Fan and others originally thought that Liu Shanghua would reject this kind of acting.
After all, playing with artificial intelligence is definitely not as timely and correct as playing with humans.
In addition to the actor's own understanding of the script, another important factor that determines an actor's performance on the spot is the reaction of his opponent.
That's why Gandalf cried in the studio during The Hobbit.
Because his opponent only had a green ball at that time!
Although MOSS is not as dull as the green ball, he is still a machine after all, and his acting is not as agile as humans.
"Director Guo, I have always wanted to participate in the filming of Wandering Planet. Today I am really in the right place! If you are short of money, I can also invest some funds."
"But you must promise me that this role will be reserved for me!"
Liu Tianwang took the initiative to invest in order to get the role?
This confused several people in the conference room.
Guo Fan's eyes were stunned.
Usually I take the initiative to attract investment, but I may not be successful.
I haven't solicited investment today, so why did someone take the initiative to invest?
