114. Chapter one hundred and fourteen
The last time Mingyu saw the name "Xu Yizong" was three or four months ago. At that time, as the spokesperson for "Nedland" Smoke Perfume, he took over the shooting of four film and television advertisements and spent nearly a week with Director Xu.
After finishing the meal, Ming Xiaoyu once thought: I guess she would never cooperate with Director Xu in this life.
Yes, during the seven-day process, Ming Xiaoyu learned from Director Xu that the reason why he took these four advertisements was not because of the generous rewards promised by "Nedlan", but because he owed a favor from an executive of "Nedlan". Of course, Director Xu said that this generous reward of small money is also to be collected.
Xu Yizong is one of the most well-known commercial directors in China. The films he filmed are basically destined to be more than one billion, or even more than two billion movies, with seven movies. The highest movie directly exceeded 5 billion, causing a sensation around the world.
Such a world-renowned big business director is generally impossible to accept advertisements from first-tier brands. As for advertisements from top luxury brands, they have basically worked together for many years and have dedicated directors, and will not invite new directors to shoot.
Under such circumstances, Ming Xiaoyu never thought that she had the acting skills to participate in a big production movie, and she also did not think that after she endorsed a top luxury brand in the future, she would have the opportunity to cooperate with Xu Yizong.
However, things in the world are so clever. Now Director Xu’s assistant has personally sent him an invitation letter and asked him to attend the audition for the new movie that Director Xu is going to shoot this year.
When he saw this assistant, Mingyu looked down at the brand new invitation letter in his hand, hesitated for a long time without saying a word.
Zhao Rui, who was standing beside him, frowned and asked, "Mr. Wu, are you sure Director Xu really didn't find the wrong person? Xiao Yu did shoot several advertisements and an MV, but he had no experience in filming movies or even TV series at all. Director Xu really hoped that he would audition?"
Director Xu's assistant Xiao Wu smiled honestly and nodded seriously, "Yes, before I came, Director Xu told me with great instructions that he hoped Mr. Ming would go to the audition the day after tomorrow. He also said that if Mr. Ming had any questions, he could contact him directly. You have exchanged contact information before."
If you stop there, there is nothing to be confused about.
After Luo Ru finished the contact matters of Muse's public relations department, she just returned to the lounge and felt that the atmosphere seemed to be something wrong. Zhao Rui said that it would be very normal for him to be abnormal (?), but this time, even Ming Xiaoyu looked down seriously at a document, and Qingting frowned.
Luo Ru looked at it carefully for a moment before asking tentatively: "Is there something big happening?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Rui nodded immediately and said, "Yes, Xiao Luo, you were not here just now, you don't know. Director Xu's assistant came to our company in person and delivered an invitation letter to Xiao Yu..."
Zhao Rui spoke very quickly, and Luo Ru was stunned. After Zhao Rui finally stopped, Luo Ru turned around and looked at the boy sitting opposite him. Behind the boy, a beam of warm and brilliant sunshine shone straight, illuminating his fair skin, clear and clean, with a quiet temperament, quiet and beautiful.
Mingyu smiled and curled the corners of her lips, and asked calmly, "Sister Luo, have you ever heard of "An Li"?"
Luo Ru: “…………………………………(/=_=)/~┴┴”
What the hell is Amway!
If you don’t make an appointment, we won’t make an appointment!!!
After Ming Xiaoyu explained a little and translated the "Director Xu" mentioned by Zhao Rui for "Director Xu Yizong", Luo Ru was instantly awake and suddenly realized: "Xiao Yu, it turns out that you are talking about the movie that CX Entertainment spent a huge investment this year, "An Li"?!"
In addition to cultivating artists, it has become the norm for investing in various movies and TV series every year. For example, China's leading entertainment company CX Entertainment spent 1 billion this year to shoot such a large-scale costume movie-
"An Li".
Luo Ru naturally didn't know the plot of "An Li". The movie is still casting and has not even started. As a person in the fashion industry, Luo Ru can know that "Xu Yizong is the director of "An Li"" and "An Li" was invested by CX Entertainment", these two things have surpassed her job.
However, what surprised Mingyu even more was that after hearing Director Xu's invitation to him, Luo Ru said bluntly: "Although she is still casting now, the male and female protagonists and second male and female protagonists in "An Li" have been decided. The male protagonist is Fang Liangxiu, the new actress of this year, and the female protagonist is Xiao Biqing, the third prize winner. The male and second female protagonists are considered to be a bit related. I think, the character that Director Xu asked Xiao Yu to audition this time may be just a supporting role with few scenes."
Upon hearing this, Mingyu did not directly care about her own problems, but asked: "Sister Luo, how could you know so much about "An Li"?"
Luo Ru was slightly stunned when she heard this. After a while, she smiled and said, "I just went to the Public Relations Department to report work with Linda, deputy director. Then she is a loyal fan of Fang Liangxiu. The relationship between us is still good, so she told me about the gossip in the circle."
After hearing this, Mingyu's eyes flashed and she asked, "Sister Luo, do you know what kind of story the movie "An Li" tells?"
Luo Ru shook her head regretfully: "Of course the content of the movie is kept very confidential, I don't know."
The answer was also expected, so after he went back that night, he did not immediately start preparing for the audition, but made a trans-ocean phone call to France.
Unexpectedly, what surprised Ming Xiaoyu was that even Xi Ze knew nothing about "An Li" this time and could not provide him with any help. However, at the end of the call, Xi Ze asked him in a low tone, "Do you need to find out about Shen Xiang?", but Ming Xiaoyu refused harshly.
"I think I already know what to do."
After hanging up the phone, Ming Xiaoyu found Director Xu's contact information. Director Xu did a very good job. In just three minutes, he sent a plot outline to Ming Xiaoyu and told him: "The audition the day after tomorrow is an audition, but it is actually just an audition for you alone. Ming Si. If you pass this role, then you will delete it from the script."
This made Mingyu stunned, and then he immediately asked, "Director Xu, is this a character specially designed for me?"
Don’t blame Ming Xiaoyu for being narcissistic. If you hear Director Xu’s words, do you say you are misunderstood or not!
When he heard this, Director Xu laughed a few times and then said, "Ming Xiaoyu, Ming Xiaoyu, when I worked with you before, why didn't I see that you, a kid, were so narcissistic? Don't worry, no one let you go, the back door. They do seem to want to take the opportunity to repay you with favors, but my Xu Yizong movie is not as good as opening the back door to the point of setting up a new role for whom."
Upon hearing this, Mingyu became even more confused. He organized the language and asked, "Then Director Xu, you just said that if I fail, this character will be deleted. What does this mean?"
After the words came, the laughter on the other side of the phone gradually stopped. After a moment, Xu Yizong said solemnly: "Because in the entire entertainment industry and fashion industry, only your image is in line with this role."
For the next day, Mingyu held the plot outline that Director Xu gave him and the audition script sent by his assistant Xiao Wu for a long time.
As he looked at it, he finally understood why Director Xu said so calmly, "We can delete this character" and why he said, "You can only be suitable for this character."
Yes, in the end, what Director Xu said was: You have this suitable possibility.
Even if he gives the only simile of hope, it is just a possibility that it fits the character's image, not a sure fit.
Because this character is really too illusory throughout the movie. He is like a beautiful dream, illusory and elusive. Even if you want to imagine an image in your mind, you probably only have a vague figure and you will never think of him.
This character is the number one beauty in the world view of "An Li".
He appeared very few times, and he appeared as the enemy of the heroine of the hero, and there were not many lines.
The absolute appearance makes this character a highlight in the whole play, and his noble temperament, even this top screenwriter in the industry, only used the description of "its brightness is difficult for ordinary people to look at" and reluctantly described it.
During the whole day, Ming Xiaoyu fully understood the audition script, and even called Brother Yuan, Zhu Kejia and others whom she knew, and asked about some experience in making movies. Finally, Zhu Kejia simply helped him, called a film queen, exchanged some experiences, and at the same time owed a favor.
