At noon, Zhuang Fan brought the documents and showed up at Room 303 of Bayi Hotel on time.
He did not knock on the door in a hurry. Instead, he took out his phone and looked at the time on it. There were 13 minutes left. It was the 2 o'clock that Zhang Qian had agreed on.
In the morning, Zhuang Fan had filmed three scenes with Zhang Qian. He had also experienced the benefits of being a promising actor.
Although he had heard of the famous Fei Tian Awards director in his previous life, he did not expect him to be as strict as those famous directors.
The popularity of the TV series 'Drawing Swords' was obviously directly related to his director's attitude.
Zhuang Fan had also been a prospective actor in his previous life.
This was a type of extra.
If actors were to be described as A-listers, B-listers, and B-listers, then there were several levels of extras.
The lowest was, of course, the most common extras. They were just passersby in the background. They did not have a single line. They did not even show their faces during the filming.
It usually appeared in the distant or middle scenes of television dramas and movies.
This was the material that cost 30 to 50 RMB a day.
The second level was the prospect, also known as the prospect actor.
This kind of extra, first of all, had a much better image than ordinary extras. They usually appeared in front of the camera but did not speak.
The selection was based on height, age, and other requirements. Men were required to be over 178cm tall, under 35 years of age, and had good facial features. Female: 163cm or above, 35 years old or below, delicate and pretty!
The scenes of unknown actors that were often seen on television were all done by these actors.
Their income had to reach 100 yuan a day.
Moreover, the Screen Actors Guild would have an official ID and record it in the system.
The reason why it was called a prospect was because it was an actor who was shot in a close-up shot. Sometimes, she was even more prominent than the main lead.
In fact, Zhuang Fan had already been treated like a promising actor in " Railroad guerrillas "!
The last level of acting, which was also the highest level, was special!
Special actors were small characters in movies and television dramas. They usually only had a few lines or had a moment of dramatic significance in the movie. Also known as a " small star," they were serious actors who had acting skills, knew how to say lines, and had a sense of camerawork.
His income was more than 500 yuan a day in 2005!
In his previous life, Zhuang Fan had spent eight years before he was able to become a freelancer, earning 1000 yuan a day.
***
Bam! Bam! Bam!
At two o'clock sharp, Zhuang Fan finally knocked on Zhang Qian's door. Zhang Qian's voice came from inside,""Come in!"
Creak!
Zhuang Fan opened the door to Room 303 and saw Zhang Qian, who was dressed neatly, sitting in front of an office desk.
Although Bayi Hotel was only a hotel, there were suites.
Zhang Qian lived in a suite. There was an office area outside and a bedroom inside.
"2 o'clock, no more, no less!"
"You waited outside for a while?"
Zhang Qian looked at Zhuang Fan. Zhuang Fan did not deny it and said honestly,""Yes, I arrived at 1:47, Director!”
"Why didn't I hear your footsteps? Did you lower your voice on purpose?”
"Yes, I was afraid that you were…resting!”
Zhuang Fan scratched his head. Zhang Qian pointed to a chair in front of him."Sit!"
Sometimes, he wondered if Zhuang Fan was really only 19 years old.
In terms of dealing with people, he was too mature and experienced.
She arrived early and did not knock. She waited for 13 minutes and then knocked on the door at the appointed time.
He was neither early nor late.
Most importantly, he was thinking of not disturbing his rest.
Zhang Qian was starting to admire Zhuang Fan.
To be honest, after so many years, he had seen many young actors, but this was the first time he had seen someone as humble as Zhuang Fan.
Of course, the premise was that he would have the same work and attitude towards others in the future.
When she became popular, she couldn't be arrogant, and when she hit a low point, she didn't complain.
It was always like this.
In that case, he would definitely not lack good scripts in his acting career.
Because no director would dislike such an actor who was neither arrogant nor rash, had a high EQ, and made people feel comfortable.
"Alright!"
Zhuang Fan did not stand on ceremony and sat down on a stool in front of Zhang Qian. Zhang Qian took out his phone and made a call.
"I'll call a few people over!"
He said something to Zhuang Fan, and the call seemed to be connected.
"Brother, come, try out an actor!"
"We have a few roles that haven't been decided yet, right?”
"Hahaha, right, there's a little guy. I feel that he's not bad.”
"Yes, I have to get past you no matter what!”
"Okay, I'll wait for you in Room 303!”
Zhang Qian was very polite as he spoke to the person on the other end of the phone. Zhuang Fan guessed that it should be the other director of " Unsheathed Sword ", Chen Jian.
Zhang Qian made a few more calls. After a while, there was a knock on the door behind Zhuang Fan.
Zhuang Fan quickly went to open the door.
A tall and strong young man stood at the door.
He glanced at Zhuang Fan, who was about the same height as him, and laughed.""Brother Qian, this is the first time I'm auditioning in the middle of the day!”
"Haha, then what should we do? The progress is tight, so we can only take advantage of noon to decide on a role!”
Zhang Qian stood up with a smile. He did not introduce him to Zhuang Fan, but Zhuang Fan was almost certain that this person was the director, Chen Jian!
A minute later, three more people came to Room 303.
Zhuang Fan never expected Zhang Qian to call so many people over for an audition.
This lineup really made him feel a little flattered.
The few of them came in and chatted with Zhang Qian and Chen Jian, but they glanced at Zhuang Fan a few times from the corner of their eyes.
"Alright, let's hurry up and try out an actor first!”
Zhang Qian said to Chen Jian and the others. They were squeezed in front of a desk, but none of them showed any impatience. After Zhang Qian finished speaking, all eyes were on Zhuang Fan.
Even though Zhuang Fan was confident, he could not help but feel a little nervous as everyone looked at him.
This was no different from a real audition for an official actor.
"What background?"
Chen Jian, who was not yet 30 years old, leaned over and asked Zhang Qian softly. The other people on the other side also pricked up their ears curiously.
"No background!"
"I just wanted to give it a try. By the way, did you bring your resume?”
Zhang Qian saw a folder that Zhuang Fan had placed behind him.
Zhuang Fan immediately replied," Yes, there's no printing place nearby, so I just wrote it down!"”
"Give it to me!"
Zhang Qian extended his hand to Zhuang Fan.
Zhuang Fan felt a little awkward." Director Zhang, I…I didn't know that there would be so many people, so I prepared-"
"I told you to bring it over. Why are you talking so much nonsense?”
Zhang Qian took the resume that Zhuang Fan handed over. It was a personal resume that Zhuang Fan had personally written. Zhang Qian casually swept his gaze over, and in the next second, his pupils constricted.
"Good handwriting!"
He couldn't help but blurt out as he looked fiercely at Zhuang Fan.
Chen Jian and the others also looked at Zhuang Fan's resume after hearing his words.
When they looked at it, they were indeed attracted by the hard pen on it.
