Accidental Mark - Chapter 20-22
[Accidental Mark Chapter 20]
Pei Shaoze returned to the company in the afternoon and immediately held a small meeting with someone from the Propaganda Department. People in the Tianxuan Propaganda Department didn’t look pretty when they received the news of the meeting, because President Pei’s order seemed to mean two words-overtime.
The copyright team and the legal team were so busy with the bald scenes they were watching. The new official has three fires. I don’t know what kind of fire will President Pei set off in the Propaganda Department this time?
Everyone walked into the conference room nervously. However, unexpectedly, the meeting time for Pei Shaoze was very short, and the task he explained was quite easy: “The company decided to set up a project for the filming of the novel “Folding Paper”, and the General Administration has already approved it. For the record. Go back and hurry up to write a few drafts and post publicity on major websites.”
Manager Liu of the Propaganda Department asked: “Just post the propaganda on major websites? Do you need to buy headlines or hot searches?”
Pei Shaoze said decisively: “You don’t need to buy it. Try to contact the original author to see if the author is willing to join the script adaptation or participate in the audition. It is best to cooperate with us to forward the crew news and let the book fans know about this.”
Manager Liu asked: “Will this audition be a national audition, or a small cut?”
Pei Shaoze handed him a plan: “No audition, only six important roles will be selected. Post recruitment notices on the major artist websites in the circle. This show needs more than 20 actors to be grouped. Welcome and interested. Of actors join.”
The entire meeting quickly ended within fifteen minutes, Pei Shaoze clearly stated the propaganda plan and let everyone work as planned. The colleagues in the Propaganda Department were a little confused after the meeting. Although everyone admired President Pei’s clean and tidy work style, the publicity investment of this play…is it too shabby?
Do not buy hot search, do not find major film and television bloggers to brag about marketing, do not even look for the navy who scoring points? It’s like sending a press release to tell netizens “Hello everyone, I’m going to make a drama”, and then silently start filming?
People in the Propaganda Department quickly concluded: “President Pei may not have enough money!” “The company stipulates that the group investment should not exceed 10 million yuan, but 10 million yuan is more than enough for a web drama? Are you reluctant to spend some promotional expenses?” “Mr Pei obviously wants to cast a play to test the waters. There is really no need to promote this kind of campus theme that will hit the street at the first hearing?”
Pei Shaoze is not in a hurry.
Are there few dramas that auditioned for the last hot search, the last hot search after booting, and the makeup and the hot search every day? Too much anticipation for the audience, hot search every day and the screen, the final shot is not satisfactory will only cause backlash. It’s better to take the drama seriously, first make the quality of the drama good, and then surprise everyone after the well-made drama is released.
As a director system, he must plan the use of all funds as a whole, and spend as much money as possible. There is no need to spend too much on the initial publicity fee. The so-called publicity is to tell everyone “we are going to make this drama”.
After arranging the promotion, Pei Shaoze followed the company process to get financial allocations. The next day, he met with Liu Xueyi and Xu Moran to chat in detail about the next plan.
Liu Xueyi brings a team. The service team of the upper drama and the photographer and lighting engineer can directly call in to continue their cooperation. Pei Shaoze personally acts as the producer, and then finds some staff who do errands, and the crew of their crew is formed.
Today was a meeting for the creators of this play, so Liu Xueyi asked each item in detail.
“In terms of music, what does President Pei plan to do? Directly find a few nice songs to pay for the copyright?” Most low-cost online dramas don’t have their own original music. Pick some suitable songs and pay the copyright for the opening and ending credits. This is more economical.
“Since we are taking the boutique route, let’s still original music.” Pei Shaoze thought for a while, and then said: “I will tell Chen Yijun to help her write a theme song. As for the episodes in the play, we can find professional music studios. Customized.”
“Original music costs a lot of money, and the money saved in publicity can be diverted. It’s just that, a big-name singer like Chen Yijun, would you like to write the theme song of a web drama?” A small web shot for an 18-line newcomer Is the theme song written in the play too much for the singing queen Chen Yijun? It is normal for Liu Xueyi to have such doubts.
“Don’t worry, I will convince Chen Yijun.”
With President Pei’s assurance, Liu Xueyi certainly no longer doubted: “That’s great, Chen Yijun can still bring some fans over!”
Pei Shaoze nodded, and then said: “Tianxuan’s financial appropriation will take time, and the investment funds should arrive within half a month, when the Spring Festival is over. Director Liu, you can choose a good day and start the machine officially.”
The funds arrived in the account within half a month. This was the fastest rate Liu Xueyi had ever experienced.
Liu Xueyi shook hands with Pei Shaoze: “Mr. Pei, it’s really refreshing to work with you! I will call all the crew of the upper drama when I go back, and prepare to start after the Spring Festival. I hope everything goes smoothly!”
***
At this time, Cheng Xia was in the private room of Ronghua Hotel opposite the Seventeenth Middle School.
After spending a week filming the MV, Chen Yijun took the initiative to invite all the staff to dinner. She is intimate in private, never puts on celebrity airs, and takes special care of Cheng Xia. After getting along these days, the two have become acquainted with each other, and the relationship is just like that of siblings.
Halfway through the meal, Chen Yijun suddenly asked: “By the way, Cheng Xia, do you have Weibo?”
Cheng Xia took out her mobile phone and opened her Weibo to show her: “This is my Weibo trumpet, but I don’t usually post much, just log in to watch news, gossip, etc. Sister Yan said that she would register for us in a unified manner. New Weibo, apply for certification.”
When Zhou Yan heard this, he explained: “This is what Mr. Pei meant. The company will help newcomers apply for a Weibo account. This account must be managed by the agent.”
Chen Yijun was not surprised by this: “Weibo is managed by the agent? Pei is always afraid that newcomers will not know what to say, and they will send things indiscriminately, and they will become black history if they are picked out?”
Zhou Yan said: “Yes, after all, there has been such a precedent in the circle.”
Chen Yijun looked at Cheng Xia with a smile: “After the new Weibo application is complete, tell me, I want to be your first fan.”
Cheng Xia was flattered: “Sister Jun, don’t be kidding, you have tens of millions of fans on Weibo. Suddenly paying attention to me is not good, right?”
Chen Yijun waved his hand casually: “It doesn’t matter, I am a contracted singer of Tianxuan, and it is normal for newcomers to follow Tianxuan. When the MV is released in a few days, the starring role will definitely attract attention. Then, I will introduce to the fans. The handsome little brother in the MV is our company’s newcomer Cheng Xia. You have a Weibo, so I can circle you well.”
Zhou Yan was so excited that Chen Yijun was willing to take the initiative to promote Cheng Xia, this is really a big pie from the sky! She hurriedly took out her mobile phone and opened the new Weibo that Cheng Xia had applied for and showed it to Chen Yijun: “Cheng Xia’s Weibo has just passed authentication, and this is it.”
Cheng Xia’s trumpet is called “Summer Orange”, and the content is all current affairs news and funny jokes forwarded by him. The new Weibo ID that Zhou Yan applied for is called “Cheng Xia”, and the certified yellow V says “Tianxuan Group Signed Artist”, and his head is a frontal photo with a bright smile, looking very sunny and handsome.
The agent has been busy applying for a new Weibo, and Cheng Xia hasn’t paid attention to it these days. Now, after looking at it, he found that his Weibo has fans. He couldn’t help but curiously said: “How can I have fans on Weibo? Didn’t you just register?”
Zhou Yan was also very puzzled. She hadn’t had time to buy Cheng Xia fans, where did the wild fans come from? She clicked on the fans and took a look. The familiar “Pei” character avatar and the crisp brief introduction of “CEO of Tianxuan Group” shocked her.
Cheng Xia also had a heartbeat: “President Pei?”
The first one to pay attention to him is actually President Pei?
Zhou Yan shook her hand and clicked into the avatar of the character Pei, and found that President Pei not only followed Cheng Xia, but also followed all the artists in Tianxuan Group C. She was slightly relieved and said: “President Pei is probably politely following.”
Chen Yijun leaned over to look at Zhou Yan’s mobile phone screen and couldn’t help but complain: “President Pei actually followed all the artists secretly. By the way, why did he delete all of his Weibo? I remember he sent a lot of selfies before? After she said, she looked at the agent next to her and asked: “Sister Wu, have you seen it too, Mr. Pei’s previous Weibo is full of photos everywhere.”
Chen Yijun’s agent was Wu Xin, and she put on a paralyzed face all day long, and Cheng Xia did not dare to talk to this sister. Hearing Chen Yijun’s words, she said blankly: “He deleted all the previous Weibo, probably because he thought the things he posted before were too embarrassing.”
Everyone: “…”
That’s true. In the past, Pei Shaoze’s Weibo was all selfies, either on the beach or drinking in the club, which is too different from the image of President Pei who is now in suits and shoes.
Wu Xin continued: “You didn’t find out, he just changed his soul, has he suddenly become a workaholic recently?”
Chen Yijun thoughtfully: “That said, he has really changed a lot. I heard that he called the propaganda team to a meeting when he came back from a business trip. Some time ago, he had trouble with the legal affairs and copyright teams.”
Director Zhang also interjected: “Yes, they used to say that Tianxuan’s new boss Pei Shaoze is very unreliable, but last time he visited the class, I think others are pretty good. Is there any misunderstanding of the rumors?”
Everyone did not interrupt Cheng Xia’s discussion of President Pei.
Cheng Xia thought to himself that he hadn’t contacted Pei Shaoze before, and it was not easy to comment on. He only knows that he likes Mr. Pei very much now-he is simply and decisive, serious and responsible, and he feels very practical and at ease. Thinking of looking at Mr. Pei who was working overtime across the street that night, Cheng Xia felt that it was a blessing for Tianxuan artists to meet such a dedicated boss.
At this moment, Chen Yijun’s phone rang suddenly. She glanced at the caller ID, said sorry to everyone, went out to answer the phone, and when she came back, she went to the agent to whisper a few words. Zhou Yan keenly saw Chen Yijun’s mobile phone call. When “Pei Shaoze” was displayed, she guessed that it was Mr. Pei’s call, and thought it was related to the MV.
Not long after, she received a message from President Pei on her mobile phone: “The crew of “Folding Paper” on the 17th floor of Tianxuan Building at 9 a.m. on February 7 has officially auditioned. The script for the audition has been sent to you by Zhang Fan to notify you. The artists in the band are ready.”
Zhou Yan typed and replied immediately: “Okay, President Pei, I see.”
The meal ended in a hurry.
Chen Yijun and her agent Wu Xin returned to the company in a nanny car, and Zhou Yan took Cheng Xia back to the company in another car. On the way, Cheng Xia asked Zhou Yan softly: “Sister Yan, can I log in to that new Weibo by myself? Or is it always managed by you?”
Zhou Yan thought for a while and said, “Of course you can log in on Weibo. But remember, don’t slap your hands like likes, don’t post negative energy, or make any comments on gossip in the entertainment circle. From now on, you must have the awareness of public figures. It’s best to think about it when you post on Weibo and don’t make trouble for yourself, understand?”
Cheng Xia immediately raised her hand and promised: “Understood, I will never send it indiscriminately. I will give you a look before sending it.”
He just felt that Mr. Pei paid attention to his account and he wanted to log in by himself instead of handing it over to Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan sent the Weibo login name and password to Cheng Xia, and also forwarded the message sent by President Pei.
Cheng Xia was stunned: “The audition is on February 7, is it so fast?”
Zhou Yan took a deep breath and looked at Cheng Xia and said solemnly: “President Pei has a more serious attitude towards this drama than I thought. So anxious to audition, it is likely that she will start shooting right after the Spring Festival.” She paused. He paused and exhorted: “Cheng Xia, go back and take the time to read the information I gave you. If you can seize this opportunity, your journey will be much smoother in the future.”
Cheng Xia nodded: “Sister Yan, don’t worry, I have been reading the information these days, and I know how to act by then.”
Zhou Yan patted the boy’s shoulder encouragingly: “Come on.”

【Accidental Mark · Chapter 21】
On February 2nd, Tianxuan Group officially announced the news of “Folding Paper” project.
The Propaganda Department created an official WeChat account of the “folding paper crew”, and announced the audition time and location of several important roles on the official WeChat account, as well as other recruitment advertisements for the cast members.
Early in the morning, Cheng Xia turned on her mobile phone and swiped Weibo, and she saw the homepage sliding over this announcement from the “folding paper crew”. The one with the most likes was the repost of the author’s lemongrass.
Lemongrass is a new and cutting-edge author who has emerged in the past few years. He is not particularly famous, but because of his fresh and warm style, he is very good at character psychological shaping and has a fixed number of fans. Obviously, the original author was contacted by the Tianxuan Propaganda Department, and the author agreed to cooperate with the propaganda, and then forwarded the news that “Folding Paper” would be officially filmed.
There are thousands of comments under this message.
——All scolding.
“My God, my house is going to collapse!”
“No one can play the Qin Nian in my mind, please don’t ruin my Qin Nian!”
“It’s produced by Tianxuan? I’m fucking, their movie is full of thunderous dramas. It’s enough to cry and torture the mind and body.”
“How do you shoot such a small and refreshing drama with folded paper? Add a bunch of inexplicable third parties, disgusting.”
“The propaganda says it’s choosing new people. Can new people play such a complicated role? I don’t believe it anyway.”
“Is the author crazy about money? This show has to sell the copyright?”
Some book fans are too fierce.
Cheng Xia can understand the feelings of book fans. When he reads the original work, he also likes the characters in the book. A thousand people have a thousand Hamlet in their hearts. Everyone’s protagonist is different. Therefore, it is difficult for everyone to accept The actualization of the paper figures I like in my heart is also a hurdle that the adaptation of the novel must face.
Cheng Xia does not think that he fits the image of the protagonist “Qin Nian” in the novel, but he is confident to play this role well. During this period of time, he has been reading the book every day, at least five times. In every scene and dialogue in the book, he substituted himself into Qin Nian, thinking hard about how to express his emotions if he was Qin Nian, and what to use. His tone and expression?
Even in his dream, he became Qin Nian and experienced Qin Nian’s life.
He likes this character very much, so even if the readers scold it no matter how badly he is, he wants to try it.
Cheng Xia took a deep breath and opened her Weibo.
To his surprise, his Weibo followers have increased by several hundred from yesterday. I thought it was the zombie fan that Sister Yan bought for him, but a lot of private messages appeared in the upper right corner. When I clicked it, they were all fans of Chen Yijun.
“I came here from Sister Jun, who is the newly signed brother of Tianxuan? He looks very handsome!” “Sister Jun is here to check in. Sister Jun is paying attention to you. You should have a good relationship with her, right? “Little handsome guy, I like your face. I searched it and it seems that you haven’t acted in any drama. Look good on you!”
Cheng Xia: “…”
He has realized how terrible the star effect is today.
Chen Yijun just followed him easily, and those fanatics followed the vine and touched his Weibo.
Chen Yijun’s willingness to pay attention to Cheng Xia shows that the two have a good relationship. Therefore, Chen Yijun’s fans have a very polite and gentle attitude towards Cheng Xia. Most of them said that Cheng Xia looks good, and then said a few words of encouragement.
Cheng Xia politely returned a few private messages, opened the homepage and found that President Pei had also forwarded the promotion of “Folding Paper”.
Remembering what the agent said don’t give a thumbs up, so he silently turned off the large Weibo, and then followed Pei Zonghe’s “Folding Paper Web Drama Official Weibo”-Trumpet Point Wouldn’t anyone find out?
In the next few days, Cheng Xia slept very restlessly. He always dreamed of the protagonist Qin Nian in the book frequently.
Qin Nian was born in a poor family. His parents died in a car accident when he was ten years old. Every day after school, he would go to work to earn money to support himself. The children who grew up in such a poor family did not have the shabbyness and low self-esteem of the poor, even if Wearing old clothes that were washed to the point of whiteness, he was also calm, sunny and optimistic, with a bright smile on his face.
He has a younger sister named Qin Yue who is not in good health. He usually not only has to work to earn money and take care of her sister, but also has to take time to study. Under such difficult conditions, his grades are still among the best in the class and he is often praised by teachers. , It can be seen how hard he worked hard.
Because of his handsome appearance and excellent grades, Qin Nian is very popular with his classmates at school. His character is partial to Alpha, coupled with the late differentiation, has not shown any Omega characteristics, everyone (including himself) thinks that he is an Alpha. During the first and second year of high school, many Omegas asked him to confess, but he declined, because he didn’t have time to fall in love.
No one thought that in the third year of high school, 18-year-old Qin Nian would split into an Omega.
The other protagonist in the book, Lu Fengyang, is a rich second-generation ignorant, but this rich second-generation does not often trouble the protagonist like A in general campus literature. Because he was fighting with a few **** on the day of school, he was caught The passing protagonist helped, and he became a good brother of the protagonist, covering the protagonist everywhere.
Lu Fengyang learns poorly and often finds the protagonist to copy homework. The protagonist does not let him copy every time, and insists on lecturing him. The two people get along without so much sadomasochism, but rather easy and funny.
Qin Nian liked Lu Fengyang very much before splitting up. After splitting up, this feeling became stronger, but the fool Lu Fengyang still put on his shoulder every day and said a good buddy. Qin Nian had to secretly hide this love. In my heart.
His family background does not allow him to come together with Lu Fengyang.
On the surface, Qin Nian is optimistic and always has a smile on his face, but in fact, all of his hardships in life and his emotionally unspeakable love are all hidden under the sun’s smile. Even when Lu Fengyang talked to him about the beautiful Omega in the next class, he would smile and say: It’s very beautiful, and it matches you well.
Only when he turned around, a trace of loss and sadness appeared in his eyes.
Such a protagonist is particularly distressing.
Of course, the final ending of “Folding Paper” was good. Lu Fengyang was just slow and not scumbag. Later, he discovered Qin Nian’s secret, liked Qin Nian, and even influenced by Qin Nian’s hard work, he decided to work hard and study hard. .
At the end of the novel, the two were admitted to the same university, and Qin Nian gave Lu Fengyang the paper folded by himself. Origami was his favorite game since he was a child. Whenever he was upset, sad, and sad, Qin Nian would take out a piece of paper and fold it.
Lu Fengyang took apart the paper and wrote a wish in correct handwriting.
——I want to be admitted to the same university as Lu Fengyang and will stay together ever since.
The teenager smiled brightly in the sun.
Lu Fengyang looked at him so dazzling, and finally couldn’t help but hugged him tightly into his arms.
Many novels with Alpha and Omega as the protagonists are either that you drag me into the grove and have a bite, or I press you on the wall to kiss… Among a large number of campus novels with “marks” as gimmicks, this book “Folding” by Lemongrass “Paper” takes Qin Nian’s experience as the main line, and is very clear from beginning to end, paying great attention to the description of the emotions and growth of the two protagonists.
The two did not have too much intimacy, but when they were together at the end, they made readers smile. The overall style of the original book is relaxed and warm. There are some abusive plots in the middle. It is not the kind of heart-piercing sadomasochism, but it makes people feel the sore nose and moist eyes.
The role of Qin Nian is very difficult to grasp, the sun on the surface is optimistic, the inner struggle is uneasy, the sun will appear to be careless, and the excessive struggle will appear indecisive. Cheng Xia has been pondering over how to express emotions with eyes and movements for a long time recently.
Dreaming of Qin Nian for several days in a row, he felt that he seemed to be a little in the act.
In this state, February 7 came quietly.
Cheng Xia got up at 7 o’clock in the morning to wash, ate breakfast in a hurry, changed into a clean sweater, wore a white shirt underneath, and took a school uniform that the sponsor gave him when filming the MV before, and came out with a down jacket. Tianxuan waited.
There was a rush of people at the gate of Tianxuan, and a huge poster was posted in a prominent position, “Actors who participated in the audition of “Folding Paper”, please take elevator 3 to the 17th floor”.
Although this audition is not a national audition, but the name “Tian Xuan Production” is out, there are still many artists and small brokerage companies buying it. After all, Tian Xuan is a big tree in the entertainment industry and can catch this ride. Maybe it’s on fire?
There was a long line of people participating in the audition.
Cheng Xia was taken aback, and hurriedly went in through the side door to find an agent.
Zhou Yan waited for them on the first floor. When Zhou Jiawen, Xue Ling, Qi Xiaotian, and Cheng Xia all arrived, she took the four to the corner and whispered: “You guys, draw lots after you go up. When you get the number you get, you can go in. I listened to the news from Assistant Zhang. Today, the main creators of the crew were all present, and even the author came here in person.”
When the four newcomers heard this, their eyes widened slightly, and their hearts were a little nervous.
Zhou Yan said quickly: “The original author does not participate in the adaptation of the script, but he will give the director some advice. In the end, it is up to the director to decide who will play which role. The director of this play is Liu Xueyi. You may not have heard of him. He is not particularly famous, but he is very demanding of actors. Don’t even think about it by going through the back door. If you want to impress him, unless you pass the acting skills.”
She glanced over the four people in front of her, and simply said: “Let’s go. Don’t be too nervous, just perform normally.”
Cheng Xia clenched a fist on her side and obediently followed her agent upstairs.
The 17th floor of Tianxuan has been vacated, and an audition venue has been specially arranged. There are two rows of chairs in the corridor outside for people to wait, and there are several empty offices for people to rest.
At the back door of the audition scene, there was a sign-in desk and a lottery box, and Cheng Xia followed her agent.
The girls at the lottery office were assistants in Group C. When they saw them, they smiled and said, “Auditing for Lu Fengyang, Qin Yue, and Zhao Luo to draw this box, auditioning for Qin Nian, Zhang Xiaoheng, and Xu Fei to draw here.”
These six roles are also the protagonists and important supporting roles throughout “Folding Paper”.
Zhou Jiawen, led by Sister Yan, is Alpha. He chose the role of “Lu Fengyang” in the novel, and he was drawn number 10. Xue Ling chose the role of the protagonist’s sister “Qin Yue” and picked the 26th. Both Qi Xiaotian and Cheng Xia chose the “Qin Nian”. The former drew No. 67, and Cheng Xia drew No. 98, which was particularly late.
Seeing their numbers, the girl reminded: “It is 1-50 in the morning and after the 50th in the afternoon, should you two go back first and come back in the afternoon?”
Zhou Yan also said, “Cheng Xia, Qi Xiaotian, do you want to go back first?”
Cheng Xia smiled and shook her head: “No, I’ll wait here, and memorize the script by the way.”
Qi Xiaotian wanted to go back, and he said: “Then I will also wait for the result here.”
————————
【Accidental Mark · Chapter 22】
All the people who received the number plate at the scene pinned the number plate on the right side of the chest as required.
The audition will end in one day, so the schedule is very tight, everyone is only given 5 minutes. The staff responsible for maintaining order at the scene sent everyone a printed tip with precautions-
1. The artists who participated in the audition please introduce yourself and inform the crew of the role you are auditioning for. The director may make you make various expressions including smile, laugh, cry, sadness, collapse, etc. Please cooperate with the director’s request. Choose one or two acts in the audition script to perform. The director may interrupt you at any time, and you can leave early if you can’t bear the psychological shock.
2. After hearing the staff call the number, enter through the front door and exit through the back door to keep the scene quiet. If there is no response after three calls, it will be regarded as giving up automatically.
3. The audition results will be announced within three days.
This tip should be made by the people in the Propaganda Department. There is no unnecessary nonsense, simple and neat.
Zhou Yan called the four to an empty office: “Don’t think too much. After you go in, introduce yourself first, and then follow the director’s instructions. Although Director Liu is strict in acting skills and the people are more serious, Mr. Pei In the presence, he will always save some face to Tianxuan’s artists, even if he doesn’t perform well, he will not embarrass you in public.”
Cheng Xia immediately grasped the key point: “Is President Pei here today?”
Zhou Yan glanced at him and nodded: “Pei is always the producer and director of this show.”
Cheng Xia suddenly felt very at ease in her heart-President Pei personally supervised the production, then this drama will definitely not be a problem!
Qi Xiaotian couldn’t help but ask: “President Pei is in the town personally, then the artist of Tianxuan should have a better chance to choose?”
Zhou Yan frowned slightly: “Theoretically, this is true. But it is not necessarily. After all, the original author and director are there. Since President Pei said fair competition, it is impossible to force Tianxuan’s artist to give Director Liu. I listened to sign in. The staff there said that a few famous celebrities have also come today, especially the two roles of Qin Nian and Lu Fengyang. The competition is extremely fierce.”
She also didn’t think why these little famous stars would come to join in the fun. It is these stars who think that Tianxuan’s products will be popular, so come to catch the heat? Whatever the reason, the competition for this audition was fierce, beyond everyone’s expectations.
Zhou Yan was very nervous, but on the surface she still displayed the calmness of her agent and looked at Cheng Xia and Qi Xiaotian: “Have you heard of Ye Mingqian?”
Cheng Xia searched for the name in her mind, and she quickly remembered: “Is it the actor of the popular literary film “The Light of Light” in the first half of the year? He is an Omega, right?”
Zhou Yan nodded: “Yes, he is 20 years old this year, and he is the fastest rising actor in the entertainment industry in recent years. He also came to audition today, and the role he wants to compete is also the protagonist Qin Nian.”
Cheng Xia’s heart trembled slightly. He had never expected such a strong competitor.
Initially, President Pei said that this drama is an investment in Group C, and it is best to let Tianxuan’s newcomers come to play, but after all, it is not a “default drama”. As long as the news of the audition is released, President Pei cannot stop others from coming.
The other party has rich experience and good popularity. He is just a little transparent who has filmed a MV and has not yet released it.
Who will the director choose? Cheng Xia is not sure.
The only thing he has confidence in is that he devoted more effort and energy to this drama than Ye Mingqian, and his understanding of the role of Qin Nian is definitely deeper than that of Ye Mingqian, who came to audition when he got the script. Much. He always dreamed of Qin Nian these days. Qin Nian seemed to have walked into his heart from the book. He especially wanted to interpret this character himself.
Qi Xiaotian didn’t have such confidence. He scratched his head and said with a smile: “Qin Nian is so competitive for the role? Or, I will choose Qin Nian’s Faxiao role?”
Zhou Yan thought for a while and nodded: “Now it’s too late to change roles. Newcomers don’t have to play the protagonist. There is a chance to show up. It’s good to play a supporting role and hone your acting skills.” She looked at Cheng Xia, “How about you Cheng Xia ?”
Cheng Xia looked firm: “I’ll try Qin Nian, I also prepared his script.”
***
At 9 o’clock, the audition officially began.
Those who walked into the audition scene were shocked. In addition to the wide space left for the actors to perform, five people sat on the other side-producer Pei Shaoze, director Liu Xueyi, screenwriter Xu Moran, original author Lemongrass, assistant and concurrently The host Zhang Fan.
In addition to the five people, there are also several people on the side, including lighting engineers, photographers, radiographers, and field notes. The camera was actually equipped with dual tracks and opened two cameras to shoot at the same time. There was a monitoring screen in front of the director and President Pei!
Is this an audition? Is this the **** scene? !
Most of the auditions in the circle are like company interviews. Artists perform some scenes on the spot. It is extremely rare that the artists directly turn on the camera like today, and even the lighting and sound are prepared.
Some newcomers who have never seen the big scene were shocked by such formal auditions, especially Pei Shaoze, who was sitting in the first place. His expression was serious and his eyes were indifferent. Many newcomers couldn’t help but trembled when they saw him. They were so confused that they didn’t know what to do. play.
Liu Xueyi is also very serious, and some people are kicked out with disgust after only one minute of acting.
The artists waiting outside became more nervous when they saw the guys who rolled out after tens of seconds after entering.
The entire audition scene was shrouded in a suppressed atmosphere. The faces of the people who came out of the audition room were more ugly than the other, and some even complained in private: “Isn’t it just a broken net drama, it’s such a formal…”
Cheng Xia closed her eyes and memorized the script in her head.
He was also a little nervous, but when he heard that the audition scene was so formal, he felt that Mr. Pei attaches great importance to the show, and he also wanted to perform well in front of Director Pei. The tension gradually turned into motivation. Cheng Xia clenched her fists and recited the lines of the audition script several times without missing a word.
Soon it was Zhou Jiawen’s turn on the 10th. He wanted to try Alpha protagonist Lu Fengyang.
After all, he has acted in several online dramas. He is much more calm than most newcomers. Zhou Yan personally took him in. He wanted to stay and see his performance, but Pei Shaoze said indifferently: “The agent is out, leave the scene to the artist. .”
Zhou Yan had to go out dingy.
After a while, Zhou Jiawen came out. She hurriedly stepped forward and asked, “How is it?”
Zhou Jiawen frowned: “I don’t know, let me go back and wait for the notice.”
Cheng Xia: “…”
Waiting for these three words is really torture!
Qi Xiaotian leaned in and asked, “Did Mr. Pei say anything?”
Zhou Jiawen smiled bitterly: “He was sitting there as a statue, he was so serious, he looked indifferent from start to finish, I didn’t dare to look at his eyes. After I finished the performance, he said: Go back and wait for the notice.”
Cheng Xia: “…”
awaiting notice. It felt like the person being taken to the execution ground was waiting for the executioner’s knife to fall on his neck. Cheng Xia can imagine how strong President Pei’s aura is.
Xue Ling also went in soon, and his face was cold when he came out, and the result was the same: “Let me go back and wait for the notice.”
Zhou Yan helped her forehead helplessly.
The morning audition ended quickly, and Cheng Xia saw a lot of handsome Alphas who were all competing for the role of Lu Fengyang. In the afternoon, the scene’s painting style suddenly changed, and many beautiful, cute and sunny Omega appeared in the corridor, because the role Qin Nian who auditioned in the afternoon and Zhang Xiaoheng, the funny actor in the play, were both Omega.
Of course, there are some Betas to try to compete. The entertainment industry does not stipulate that only Omega can play Omega. As long as the appearance is suitable and the performance is similar, no one will scold Omega when they play Alpha. Instead, they think that the actors who can play back are very powerful.
Cheng Xia sat in the corridor and waited. After an unknown period of time, the assistant sister suddenly called: “No. 97.”
A boy in a light blue sweater came over from the corner.
He is nearly 1.8 meters tall and has a thin and well-proportioned figure. He wore a pair of sunglasses to cover half of his face. After hearing the call, he took off his sunglasses and walked to the audition room. Cheng Xia recognized at a glance that he was the very popular Omega this year. Star-Ye Mingqian.
Looking up close, he looks really beautiful, his skin is dazzling white, and his eyes flowed with peach blossoms. They are gentle and gentle. People can’t help but want to get close to him and protect him. Cheng Xia, who is also an Omega, also thinks He is very temperamental.
As if perceiving the gaze next to him, Ye Mingqian turned his head slightly to meet a pair of clear eyes.
Cheng Xia smiled politely at him.
Although the opponent is a huge threat to him, Cheng Xia feels that the audition is a fair competition, and he is a newcomer. Ye Mingqian has been a newcomer for several years. If he really can’t compete, he is not as skilled as others. Can’t blame others for grabbing this role?
Ye Mingqian also smiled at Cheng Xia.
It may be because of Omega. The taste is not as strong as the Alphas in the morning, but the smile is only a superficial situation. There will only be one actor in Qin Nian. In the end, everyone has to do their best to fight for it. .

Inside the room, after watching the demons dance all day, Liu Xueyi’s head was about to explode. He couldn’t help but complain: “Just now, this man, he was acting as if he used his **** to face the camera, and his lines were not good enough. I feel wronged, I can’t bear to scold him, I’m afraid I will cry him!”
Until Zhang Fan said: “The next number 97, Ye Mingqian, is also Qin Nian.”
Liu Xueyi’s eyes flashed: “Ye Mingqian? This man has good acting skills. Does Pei always know him? The protagonist of the literary film “The Light Is Passing” in the first half of the year. However, his temperament is more literary than the image of Qin Nian in the novel. Isn’t it a good fit?”
Pei Shaoze said indifferently: “I know him. A good actor will not let his image tend to be stereotyped. He came to audition for the role of Qin Nian, probably because he wanted to expand his acting, change the audience’s inherent impression of him, and challenge his acting skills. .”
Liu Xueyi nodded: “Yes, then let’s take a look.”
Pei Shaoze turned his head and asked Zhang Fan, “Who is next?”
Zhang Fan said softly: “No. 98 Cheng Xia.”
Pei Shaoze: “…”
Cheng Xia, what’s your bad luck? I didn’t mention it until the last one in the afternoon, and even crashed back and forth with my strongest opponent Ye Mingqian?
Where is your protagonist’s halo?
Pei Shaoze gently pressed his temples, he was not worried that Cheng Xia would be nervous, but if Ye Mingqian’s performance was too good, Cheng Xia followed suit, even if his performance was good, he would be instantly compared. After all, Cheng Xia is a newcomer with no acting experience. If the acting is not good, it is difficult to impress Liu Xueyi, a demanding director.
Fortunately, the author is also present.
Pei Shaoze felt that the Qin Nian in the original author’s mind should be closer to the Qin Nian that Cheng Xia understood. After all, Cheng Xia had read the original book many times during this period, and Ye Mingqian definitely didn’t have so much time to figure out the Qin Nian. Character.
Opportunities are only for those who are ready.
Pei Shaoze sat up straight and looked at the front door.
