Chapter 51: Picking up

September 20th, Beijing Film Academy.

As a university that is almost the same age as New China, the Beijing Film Academy has a long historical origin among art colleges.

At least one-third of the active faces on small and large screens today come from here.

Unlike Chen Chen's impression in his previous life, the former site of the Beijing Film Academy in this era has been burned down in the war. The new campus, located on the Third Ring Road in Kyoto, is a modern design building with a very artistic sense.

After only two or three days, Lin Xianzhang called and said that the audition had been arranged and asked Chen Chen if he had time to come and participate in the audition together.

It just so happened that Chen Chen had nothing to do in the past two days, so he simply agreed.

However, when it comes to such professional matters, Su Moli can't help much, so she stayed in the Demon City to work hard for her.

This time they plan to release the movie on New Year's Day, and it will take only one or two weeks to start filming.

As the financial director, Miss Su will have to join the group and follow.

However, if the movie is to be released, I have to negotiate a contract with major theaters in advance. For this matter, Miss Su lived in the studio almost all day and did not have time to wander around with him, a idle person.

However, Han Xiaoqing, after Chen Chen stopped her messy notice, was bored recently and was very interested, and followed her with great interest.

Lin Xianzhang, in addition to himself and Sun Ling, the deputy director who is responsible for casting, there is also executive director Mengzhen.

The executive director's position in the crew is generally quite special.

This position sounds like a nominee, but in fact the executive director is the second-ranked character in the crew.

Compared with the deputy director who is responsible for casting and coordinated announcements, the executive director's duties are more inclined to coordinate the crew and take charge of filming if necessary.

To put it another way, when the director is there, the executive director is in a position of assistance.

If you need to start filming at the same time in A-B groups, then the executive director will often assume most of the responsibility of a director.

Therefore, key events like casting naturally cannot be bypassed by the executive director.

In the industry, executive directors are generally held by two types of people.

One type is a new director who learns and practices with the director in the crew until he can stand alone.

Another type is directors with relatively advanced qualifications. Generally speaking, it is more common in new crews, to protect and control the general direction.

Dream Interpretation belongs to the latter category.

He and Lin Xianzhang are both graduates of the Beijing Film Director Department. Lin Xianzhang is one year older than him, but both are well-known directors in the industry.

But the difference is that Lin Xianzhang is good at filming TV series and movies, the box office of the movies he made is bleak.

Mengzhen is good at speaking on the big screen. He directed several commercial blockbusters, all of which were very popular.

Speaking of which, this is also the first time Chen Chen has seen Mengzhen.

He and Lin Xianzhang are brothers of the same school, and their age is naturally similar.

However, compared to Lin Xianzhang's elegant temperament, Zhimengzhen is more like an urban elite, with slightly gray hair neatly combed and wearing a calm black suit. He doesn't look like a director, but rather a businessman talking about business.

Lin Xianzhang arrived earlier than Chen Chen and the others, so when Chen Chen and the others got off the plane, they saw two big directors coming to pick them up.

"Hello Director Lin, Xie, I have heard of your name for a long time, but I didn't expect to finally see the real person today."

Jie Mengzhen was also looking at the couple in front of him.

The girl tied a high ponytail and her big sunglasses covered half of her small face, but she looked a little more mysterious. Just standing there, she felt a breath of youth coming to her face.

The boy was tall and handsome, with a little too white skin. He grinned and looked like a sunny boy.

The two of them seemed to be right, and they didn't look like a person who could throw out millions of dollars to make movies.

After looking at it, Jie Mengzhen reached out and shook hands with Chen Chen, and said, "I have long been famous. I have watched Lao Lin's "The Female Hero Banxia". The story is not very good, but the Movie Mo is not good. It is no exaggeration to say that the best actor in it is you two, and his skills are not in vain."

Although Zhimengzhen and Lin Xianzhang are brothers of the same school, they are also old friends for many years. They tease each other without any mercy.

Lin Xianzhang rubbed his nose and said angrily: "You can just praise someone! Why are you pulling me? Everyone has been picked up, hurry up and get in the car!"

It’s not a good thing that Director Lin looks bad, because Mengzhen is telling the truth.

The TV series "Female Hero Banxia" has been aired most now, but as the popularity of the early stage weakens, reputation and ratings have been declining.

Until the end of the previous two days, it was left far behind.

It’s not that there is something wrong with the picture, but that the logic of the plot is too bad.

Director Lin deliberately pursues the exquisiteness and beauty of the picture, which leads to the story that is not self-consistent enough, and the rhythm becomes long. There are only more than thirty episodes of the story, which makes people feel like they have been watching for half a century.

Less than half of the broadcast, both reputation and ratings collapsed.

Although it is not too ugly to have the first ratings in the previous few episodes, it is also the worst-scoring TV series directed by Director Lin in recent years.

At this moment, being brought up by an old friend in person, naturally I can't bear to worry about my face.

He said a few words with his head down, then turned around and got into the car.

Chen Chen smiled bitterly. He hadn't spoken yet, and the old man was angry again.

I had to follow Mengzhen, and several people got on the car.

But then again, Jiedao is also a wonderful person. He looks like a sleek businessman, but he starts to the hearts of people as soon as he opens his mouth.

Those who don’t know think these two people are not old friends, but old enemies!

On the way, I felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward. Chen Chen thought for a while and asked, "Director Lin, why didn't I see Director Sun this time?"

In addition to knowing Meng Zhen, Lin Xianzhang also came with the deputy director Sun Ling, who is responsible for ordinary casting.

Since we are all planning to start audition, of course we have to make the best use of the things we can do, so we have decided on some of the roles in a row to save trouble, so we simply brought Sun Ling with us.

But today I didn't see him here.

When talking about the serious matter, Lin Xianzhang's dark face was slightly calmer and he said in a muffled voice: "I have collected a lot of resumes in the past few days. He will check it first and conduct a preliminary screening. When we arrive in the afternoon, the audition will officially begin!"

Chen Chen asked: "I didn't realize that Director Lin is worthy of being a Beijing Film Academy. He has just two or three days to build such a big platform!"

In fact, since they agreed to start the newcomer, there has not been a week at all, only three days.

In such a short time, not only did he obtain the consent of Jingying, but he also received a lot of resumes. Director Lin’s connections are indeed very powerful.

You know, now the school season is a time when all kinds of things are messy, and it is not possible for a casual crew to allow Jingying to agree to recruit actors in the school.

Zhimengzhen said: "That's natural. The old dean's favorite was Lao Lin, a student. Can he still not do this?"
