In the clear and refreshing autumn season, young men and women are everywhere in the Shanghai Theatre Academy.

Art colleges and universities are slightly different from other universities. Students dress more fashionablely, their words and demeanors are unique, and they are filled with a free and casual smell.

In the evening, Hu Ge was wearing a sportswear, standing on the side of the playground, looking at his classmates who were exercising on the playground.

Just where he stood, he attracted the attention of many female classmates. Even in the theater academy where handsome men and beautiful women gathered, his appearance was as outstanding.

Moreover, he became famous at a young age and became the host of children's program at the Shanghai City Education Television at the age of fourteen.

Among the students of the Theatre Academy, Hu Ge is a school grass.

Not long after he waited, Yuan Hong walked over with a basketball, and followed several male classmates from the same grade. They made an appointment to play basketball together after class.

There is a joke in the performance department that Yuan Hong must be within ten meters of Hu Ge.

This shows that the relationship between the two is very good, and it is the same on the basketball court, and they cooperate very well.

Hu Ge has a height advantage and has a slightly longer hair. Every time he jumps up, his hair will fly with the wind, which will attract the female students outside the court to cheer and cheer.

After playing the ball, he and Yuan Hong left the playground and returned to the dormitory.

"Will you go to the audition tomorrow?" Yuan Hong asked, "I heard that many people in the third and fourth grades will go to the audition, why don't we both go and see it?"

"I don't think it's possible, and the teacher doesn't allow it." Hu Ge said wisely.

According to the regulations of the Shanghai Theatre Academy, first-year and second-year students are generally not allowed to take on acting in private unless they are approved by the teacher.

This is to allow students to study with peace of mind, lay a solid foundation, and not be affected by the outside world.

"It doesn't matter if you try it. You won't be hit by your last application, right?" Yuan Hong teased.

The two of them are talking about the audition of the actors in "The House of Snail". Almost all the main actors in "The House of Snail" have been selected. This time, they are mainly in the Drama Academy to select unimportant roles.

Since Lin Xiaoling has become a visiting professor at the Academy of Drama, she naturally has to find an actor here.

This is a kind of feedback to the Drama Academy, the most basic way to deal with people.

The main actors must use people they are familiar with or famous actors. This is responsible for the movie, so supporting roles are not that important.

What's more, "House" is a story that takes place in Shanghai. She hopes that more Shanghai actors or actors from the southern faction will participate, so that they can have a sense of life.

The application mentioned by Yuan Hong refers to the matter of Lin Xiaoling choosing a director assistant.

Hu Ge submitted the application but was not selected. In the end, five students from the Director Department and Photography Department were qualified to enter the "Snail House" crew for internship.

This is normal. The director assistant first selects students from the director department, and students majoring in photography can do it too.

This is because photographers are very important in the crew. They are like the eyes of directors, and the movie tells stories through the photographer's perspective.

Therefore, many famous photographers later changed careers and became directors, and they had the advantage of becoming directors.

In the film and television industry, cross-border is a common phenomenon. Photographers and screenwriters are more reliable to switch careers to directors. They all have experience in telling stories, and at least they can tell the story in full.

The chances of actors succeeding as directors are not high, and there are not many examples like Jiang Wen.

This is one of the reasons why Hu Ge’s application was not selected by Lin Xiaoling.

"I'm just trying, how could I get hit?" Hu Ge shook his head, "Since that's the case, then we'll go to audition tomorrow and accumulate experience."

The audition for the crew of "Snail House" is in a classroom at the Theatre Academy. He is responsible for the audition and is an associate director.

Lin Xiaoling did not come. This was her first audition. She would only come forward until the final round of auditions.

At this time, she was having a meeting with the actors in the hotel.

Here are Zhang Jiayi, Haiqing, Xu Zheng and Sun Li. Except Zhang Jiayi is from northern Shaanxi, Xu Zheng and Sun Li are from Shanghai, and Haiqing is from Jinling.

Haiqing and Sun Li play a pair of sisters in the film, and they have a good relationship in private.

Xu Zheng graduated from the Shanghai Theatre Academy and is active on the drama stage all year round. He is quite famous in the drama industry.

In the past two years, he has entered the TV industry and has taken the costume comedy route. He has been popular with the audience and has gradually become popular.

"Snail House" invests 30 million yuan, directed by Lin Xiaoling, and is a big production in China. Feng Xiaogang's "Mobile Cellphone" is just such an investment scale, but he has Ge You and Zhang Guoli to help.

This drama has attracted the attention of many actors. Lin Xiaoling's films either won awards or had a high box office.

Lin Xiaoling did not use all the actors of Haomeng Company. This time, Haomeng and Shanghai City Film Group were filmed together, and it was necessary to consider the needs of Shanghai City and the market.

After so many years, she has long lost the youthfulness she had when she first graduated and understands that being a person is more important than doing things.

Xu Zheng is a representative of young actors in the south. He has his own performance style and has been recognized by the market.

Good Dream Company has conducted a survey on the market recognition of actors, which can also be called market value or box office appeal. It is one thing for audiences to like an actor, and it is another thing for them to pay for the actor to buy tickets.

This is the difference between TV series actors and movie actors.

People watch TV and like this actor who acts in TV series, but if this actor acts in a movie, how many viewers will enter the cinema for him?

The market value of an actor determines his pay and treatment.

Xu Zheng has acting skills, fame, and has a considerable influence among southern audiences, which helps Haomeng Company open up the southern film market and has a lot of room for market value to increase.

In this regard, its cost-effectiveness is very high and it is a good choice.

In the film, Xu Zheng plays an ordinary technician. He is down-to-earth, steady, dedicated, submissive, and has no ambitions in his career. He is just an ordinary family man.

The cast of "Snail House" is not strong, and it is not an all-star route. It mainly relies on scripts close to life and the performances of actors to attract audiences.

"Director Lin, I want to design some small details to express the character's heart. He is a brave person. He leaked the commercial secrets in order to make up money to buy a house. There must be a psychological change process here. I think he can express his inner anxiety through cooking." Xu Zheng suggested, "You should not be anxious when cooking, you should not have any trouble. If you are anxious, it will be wrong."

"You can try it. Let's try to dig out the characteristics of the city of Shanghai City." Lin Xiaoling agreed.

The purpose of the meeting is mainly to exchange views and reach consensus, so that the shooting will be smoother after the shooting starts.

The assistant director in charge of the audition returned to the hotel and handed over the information of the actors he had liked to Lin Xiaoling. Lin Xiaoling opened it and looked at it. Hu Ge's information was inside.
