Superstars of Tomorrow

Shen Wei once again looked away from the audition room, and as time passed, his heart, which had been seldom calmed down, began to agitate again.

How long does it take to audition?

Half an hour has already passed his estimated time.

If it's just a cutscene, or if Roman is not satisfied with Fang Zhao's performance, it won't take so long!

Is there any progress?

The more Shen Wei thought about it, the more he couldn't sit still. He checked the time every two minutes, drank three cups of tea, got up and walked seven or eight times, not only did not calm down, but became more restless.

With expectations, there are some unreasonable and unrealistic ideas.

Who doesn't want to think and look forward to a better direction in everything?

Who wouldn't want better results?

Roman can give Fang Zhao a chance to audition, and he must be optimistic about Fang Zhao.

A director who always likes to take risks with newcomers...

The more he thought about it, the faster his heart beat, and Shen Wei's fingers on the teacup trembled a little.

Although he didn't audition for the role himself, if Fang Zhao really got the role, the benefits he would get as an instructor would be extremely attractive.

calm down!

Shen Wei kept telling herself in her heart to be calm.

An hour passed.

Not only did Shen Wei's heartbeat not slow down, but it beat even more violently, and he clenched his fists tightly, otherwise his fingers would tremble with tension.

Unable to sit still, he walked around a few times, poured a few glasses of water, and went to the bathroom twice. Shen Wei kept telling himself to be calm, but finally saw the door open, and Shen Wei who had just sat down groaned. Bounced up from the chair, and walked a few quick steps towards that side uncontrollably with both feet.

Fang Zhao, who came out of the audition room, showed no excitement on his face, and was so calm that Shen Wei felt a chill in his heart.

"...how is it?" Shen Wei asked with difficulty.

He wanted to ask why it took so long, what was going on inside, and too many questions, and in the end he could only hold back these three simple words.

"Go back and wait for the result." Fang Zhao recalled.

"What?"

Shen Wei wanted to ask something else, but soon realized that this place was not suitable. After leaving Roman's house and on the way back, Shen Wei learned the details from Fang Zhao.

"The audition went well. This kind of important role is not something Director Roman can decide on. He asked me to go back and wait for news." Fang Zhao explained.

"Oh, yes, too." Shen Wei has now calmed down and figured it out.

Although I was a little disappointed that I didn't hear the result I wanted to hear the most, but after thinking about it, it wasn't finalized, which meant there was still a chance.

"How long will we have to wait?" Shen Wei asked.

"Director Roman didn't say anything, but he said that the matter will definitely be finalized within a week. After two days, he will return to Huangzhou to finalize the actors for several important roles with others." Fang Zhao said.

Just like what Shen Wei said, Fang Zhao didn't worry about gains and losses, he had already done what he could, and now he just had to wait for the result, even if the result was not satisfactory, he would accept it. At least you tried your best, didn't you?

"By the way, why did you audition for so long?" Shen Wei asked again.

"I tried three scenes at first, and then Director Roman spent an hour lecturing me on the play, and then asked to try three more." Speaking of this, Fang Zhao is really grateful to this great director, although this great director also has One's own selfishness, but the other party's call is also beneficial.

"Director Roman will tell you the play himself?" Shen Wei was startled.

"I also pointed out some acting skills in front of the camera." Fang Zhao said.

"Not bad! To be able to get this guidance, it seems that this great director really likes you." Shen Wei couldn't help but put on a satisfied smile on his face.

"Boss." Yan Biao, who was in the passenger seat in front, said, "Someone has been staring at us for the past few days. I saw them when you went to audition just now, but keep a certain distance, and the other party is very cautious."

"The gang that Curly Hair bit last time?" Fang Zhao asked.

After returning from the cruise ship, Fang Zhao learned from Yan Biao that Curly Hair bit a sneaky person who was following them. But he didn't kill him, and the other party escaped quickly, and Yan Biao didn't catch him.

Later, Yan Biao and Zuo Yu also asked Fang Zhao if he wanted to arrest him, but Fang Zhao told them to ignore it.

"should be."

In Yan Biao's view, to deal with this gang of stalkers and sneak shots, they should be caught and beaten to death!

But obviously, Yan Biao didn't understand the dedication of these entertainment journalists to dig news.

Shen Wei also disagrees with Yan Biao's handling method, he has seen too many, and in his opinion, the most important thing right now is not to deal with these entertainment news, the company's public relations team is not a decoration, just let the people from the company keep an eye on it, If there is bad news, it will be suppressed. At this time, the company is very happy to spend more money.

"Fang Zhao, don't worry about other things now, read more books on acting, online video tutorials, and some online courses, and ask me if you don't understand, get ready!" Shen Wei advised.

Although the hope is not great, but... what if?

What if he was chosen?

As a novice, a pure rookie who can't even be called an actor, what Fang Zhao needs to do is to work hard on acting skills and be ready to join the crew at all times. If he is really selected, he will still be rejected if he can't keep up with the progress of the crew Swipe it down, if that's the case, there's no place to cry!

"Yu Ji can't finish playing, the more they fight, the harder they follow!" Shen Wei said to Yan Biao, "Don't talk about other continents, just our Yanzhou, those few Yu Ji who are ranked high, in the circle How many people want to throw them into the sea to feed the fish, but they can still live well and have fun all day long!"

Shen Wei felt that as a senior in the circle, he had a heavy responsibility, so he took the opportunity to take classes with Fang Zhao, and even Yan Biao and Zuo Yu, who were bodyguards, couldn't avoid it. The difference was that he taught Fang Zhao professional knowledge , while Zuo Yu and Yan Biao were taught how to deal with troubles often encountered in the circle.

Fang Zhao also seriously absorbed the skills taught by Professor Shen Wei. Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. As Shen Wei said, before getting the result of being rejected, one has to be ready to join the crew at all times.

On the other side, Director Roman was talking to Huang Zhou's colleagues and talked about Fang Zhao, but he didn't directly specify which actor it was or what background it was. He only said that he was very talented and suitable for a role.

"You don't understand. When he stood in front of me, he gave me a very strange feeling. At that time, he coincided with the character in my mind!"

"Stop making excuses, are you trying to make something big again? Roman, let me warn you, the "Genesis" project is to be regarded as a milestone, a milestone! Do you know what it means?! You should know how many people are watching Follow the project, understand its importance, and follow the rules!"

Through the communicator, Roman could feel the excitement of the other party's spit.

"I know, I know, you are just worrying about it!" Roman said impatiently.

"You think I want to say this? Roman, you have a criminal record! I don't feel relieved if I don't say more! Remember, let's be honest this time, follow the rules in the circle, don't make trouble, this project is not yours. , there is also a group of hundreds of people above, and none of them are easy to deal with, so don't get into trouble, otherwise your position as the chief director may not be stable."

"Okay, how can I not understand these things? Not much nonsense, the preparatory work is almost done, and the actors need to be finalized as soon as possible. We will start tomorrow morning and see you in Huangzhou."

After disconnecting the communication, Roman pouted.

According to the rules?

Whose rules?

Built-in rules?

There is no express regulation, it is a bullshit rule!

Roman is going to give those people another surprise this time. He is indeed very satisfied with Fang Zhao's performance. Even, the "Fang Zhao" that Fang Zhao performed is exactly the same as the "Fang Zhao" in his heart!

So agreeable!

So much so that Roman is willing to take this risk and challenge the so-called "rules" in the circle again!

"Stay angry!"

Roman knows how to teach a layman into a seemingly mature actor in a short period of time. Fortunately, Fang Zhao is extremely talented and has a strong comprehension ability. Although an hour is short, the key points of knowledge he said, Fang Zhao unexpectedly Got it all!

This feeling of unintentionally digging out treasures from the mist is what Roman likes the most. Whenever this happens, he feels that he is very great and very satisfied.

The next three scenes arranged for Fang Zhao are different from the three scenes of the previous interview. If you show it to outsiders, you may not be able to see the difference, but in the eyes of professionals, it is a big improvement, and the details are hard to find. Mistakes come.

If it was put in Roman's own movie, it would be decided directly, but this is "Genesis"...

"Hundreds..." Roman looked at the projection and sighed helplessly after calming down, "Fang Zhao, I can only help here."

The next day, Roman took his assistant to Huangzhou.

The relevant personnel will be notified in advance, and then the specific meeting time will be finalized.

Hall of Huangzhou Arts and Culture Center.

This place is not big, compared to many commercial venues, it is much "shabby" and the furnishings look simple, but it is definitely not shabby!

Here, the projection and audio equipment are all top-notch in the industry.

There are not many seats, but everyone who is qualified to sit in the venue is either in a high position or has impressive qualifications, and they are all very prestigious and powerful.

Roman looked at the time, it was almost time.

Some projections appeared in the venue one after another. The originally empty venue was filled with projections in less than ten minutes. The front center of the venue is separated from other venues, the seats are wider, and there is also a separate space. There are more than 100 seats in that area. With the projection, it is now almost full.

"Everyone from the Hundreds is here, let's start now."

The group of hundreds mentioned by Roman refers to the people who have the right to vote on the actors who play important roles in the "Genesis" project. These people, apart from investors and representatives of the producers, are either excellent seniors in the entertainment industry. , or have a blood relationship with these important characters, that is, the direct descendants of those heroes in the era of the century, or the outstanding batch of descendants.

There are a total of 100 of these people, also referred to as the "hundred-member group" for short, and they are located in the special area closest to the stage.

The people in the "Hundreds of People" are scattered all over the place, and some even stay on the alien planet for a long time because of their duties. It is impossible for them all to come back to Huangzhou for such a matter. Therefore, this is an online voting meeting, realized through holographic projection.

Among other things, just look at the few people in military uniforms, and the generals on their shoulders will know how important they are.

Roman's assistant glanced at the Hundreds. Except for the seniors in the circle who made his legs weak, among the people in military uniforms, the lowest rank was Lieutenant Colonel, who looked very young. Later upgrades will be for sure.

Although, as Director Roman's assistant, this is not the first time he has seen this kind of situation, but every time he faces it, he will still be cautious, step as lightly as possible, and the tension in his brain will be the highest. Watch the six ways, listen to all directions, and try not to let yourself make mistakes.

"We need to determine three important roles today, one is 'General Wuyan', the other is 'General Ajina', and the other... is 'Fang Zhao'. Let's choose 'Fang Zhao' first."

Although "Fang Zhao" is not among the generals of Genesis, he was a pivotal figure in that period of history. Without him, there would be no later Yanzhou, and even Wu Yan might not survive. The history of this person "Fang Zhao" No one can deny his status. Therefore, although he is not a general, he is still a very important role in the play. The choice of actors also needs to be decided by the group of hundreds of people.

On the big screen in front, Roman released the makeup test photos of the nine selected candidates.

The nine candidates are all photos after makeup. Several of them look very similar to the "Fang Zhao" in history. There are always similarities in facial features and outlines. After makeup, it is not easy to distinguish them at first glance.

The nine people who appeared on the screen did not mark the names of the nine actors, but only numbers from one to nine, which were completely random.

However, people who are very familiar with a certain actor can still recognize it.

"These are the last nine people I screened out." Roman said to the group of hundreds in the audience, "Same as last time, starting from the 1st, I will release the audition videos of the nine candidates, each with three scenes, and finally The result of the vote is the cast."
