Chapter 509 This Cast Is Not Quite Right

"What happened to the actor in there?"

Seeing only people, only people came out of the set and no one went in. All the actors outside were shocked.

Natalie's two friends were also stunned outside - because they didn't see Natalie come out of the set! Five people went in and only four came out.

This is the first time this has happened!

"That's not right!" A person stood up, his eyes fluctuating violently, "Natalie must have performed very well to be left here. No matter how bad her performance is, she will never be left alone to be scolded!"

Directors who can make movies in the Kuai Guang Group are not only very high-ranking, but at least experienced in many battles. What actor has I not seen?

No matter how bad Natalie's performance was, no matter how abnormal her performance, she would not be so bad that the director would stay and give her a scolding. At most, she would not be able to get a green card and leave sadly.

Therefore, since he was not retained due to poor performance, there is only one possibility.

"Natalie can't really get the role of the heroine, right?!"

"I don't know, let's go and have a look."

In the culture of foreigners, people are relatively open-minded and don't care. Many people have gathered around, waiting for what surprise this only exception can give them.

After seven or eight minutes of heated discussion, the door to the studio was opened again.

With a crash, the eliminated, shortlisted, and waiting actors all cast their eyes in, and some even wanted to go inside the set to see the specific situation.

I saw Natalie walking out of the gate with a face full of excitement and holding a green card.

Sure enough... just as everyone guessed, Natalie was safely sent to the next round of screening.

"congratulations!"

"What just happened inside?"

"Awesome, sisters."

Natalie was not very good at dealing with this kind of scene. She smiled and said to the people around her: "Everyone will succeed too, come on!"

At this time, the director inside the studio also noticed the situation outside, and asked the people in line to hurry in and not waste time.

So the crowd quickly dispersed, and Natalie returned to her two friends.

"Natalie, you really did it, amazing!"

"Oh my god... you are the first actor who was kept on set by the director because of your excellent acting skills, right?"

"Ahem." Natalie, who knew her situation, couldn't explain it to others, but facing the two friends, she still had no intention of hiding it, "Actually, I wasn't retained because of my good acting skills."

Friends joked casually: "Ah, what's the reason? It can't be that the director has taken a liking to you, right?"

Natalie glanced at Yang Ruoqian who was sitting in the stands in the distance, shook her head and said: "Actually, at the beginning, the director thought that my acting skills were just barely qualified. Even if I get a green card this round, I will probably not be able to escape in the next round. Abandon the fate of being screened out.”

The two of them immediately heard what Natalie meant, and their pupils widened: "Huh? In other words, the director gave you a chance not because your acting skills are too good, but because your acting skills just happened to be stuck at the node they were struggling with, so again. Gave you a chance?"

"It's not that... there is no limit to the number of green cards in the first round, so the director shouldn't be too entangled." Natalie smiled, "It's just that they felt that my temperament and acting skills were more suitable for another role instead of asking me to audition. role, so I was given another chance.”

"Can this be true?! Which role do they think you are suitable for?!"

Natalie did not speak this time, but returned to her seat and retrieved her personal belongings.

Then she unfolded the promotional brochure sent to the actors by the Kuaiguang Group and pointed to one of the most conspicuous characters on the brochure poster.

That's the female lead in this movie.

The three-person team was silent for a moment.

"You, you, you?! Really, don't lie to us!"

Natalie moved a little away, looked up at Yang Ruoqian, nodded and said seriously: "It's true, I've said it a long time ago, I think I'm very suitable for this role."

"Meaning, are they really willing to take out such an important role and play it for us poor guys?"

"Why are you talking so hard? We have jobs, okay?"

"That's awesome. Does that mean the show team has confirmed that you will get the female lead position?"

Natalie held the green card tightly in her hand and shook her head slowly: "How can it be so simple? If it is really like this, what I hold may not be a green card but a brand of other colors."

The director gave her a chance, and it’s true that Natalie took advantage of it...

But there are so many actors waiting for auditions behind her, maybe the director can find one among these actors who suits his liking?

And maybe it’s like what my friends said, what if a big-name star wants to join the crew with an offer that no one can refuse?

Just two auditions were not enough for Natalie to prove that she could surpass the previous two.

"Whatever, at least you got the green card. As long as you perform better later and you can't get the leading actress position, you can always get the position of a non-important supporting role."

"With this resume in the future, it will be much easier for you to find jobs on other sets."

Natalie glared at the two friends and said, "What do you mean, you have so little confidence in me? If I can get the green card this time, I will definitely get the leading actress position. Just wait!"

"Very confident, good! But before that, show us what the green card looks like, open our eyes."

Speaking of this, Natalie quickly stretched out her right hand.

She didn't notice that she had been holding the green card tightly from the beginning, and never let go.

"No one is snatching it from you, take a look! Let's see what rewards the noble finalists can get."

As they said, the three looked in the direction of the green card.

It's called a green card, but in fact, this color is more like a combination of dark green and dark blue, and it doesn't look as inconsistent as pure green.

There is a personal photo of the actor on the card, as well as a personal number unique to the actor. It is obviously a temporary card made after the crew decided who to shortlist.

"There is also an introduction on the card... With this card, you can enter and exit the crew's B-level area at will. When you swipe the card to enter the crew, you must face the camera with your face. It's quite high-tech."

"This card will be invalidated after the filming of the movie is completed, but everyone can take it as a souvenir."

"Thank all the actors for supporting our movie!"

Looking at this card, the three were stunned-this is still not recycled?

If Natalie succeeds, can she still sell it on the secondary market?

"Don't think about it!" Natalie suddenly pushed another friend's shoulder, "Your phone is ringing, check if the crew is notifying you to audition... If you miss this opportunity, there will be no chance to see you next time."

The friend looked at her with contempt: "Natalie, I can see that you didn't read the relevant regulations carefully... Even if you accidentally miss the queue, just press the button to apply for postponement, and the crew will automatically put you in the back row."

"Because no one knows when it will be their turn. If someone happens to be in the toilet and doesn't have time to rush over, it's too pitiful."

"Anyway, in this crew, I only saw three words, humane. It's much better than those crews that claim to be humane but are actually full of unspoken rules."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at her phone and waved to the two friends: "Then I'll go first, see you later!"

"..."

...

Yang Ruoqian watched the audition in the audience. After the last contestant left the set, he yawned and planned to leave the audience.

He had been sitting here the whole time not because he wanted to watch these repetitive auditions, but because he was worried that if he was not there, there would be some unexpected changes in the cast.

If someone came to him, he would be the only one who could handle it.

Now that things were basically settled, it was time to go to dinner.

Mag, who was beside him, saw that Yang Ruoqian was about to leave, and asked, "Mr. Yang, what do you think of Natalie just now? Is she suitable for the female lead of this movie?"

Mr. Yang, who was either in a daze, looking at his phone, or chatting with Luo Ruying, was stunned for a moment: "Who?"

It's hard to remember foreign names, not to mention so many actors here for the audition.

"It's the only one who auditioned twice!" Mag reminded, "What do you think?"

Oh...that one.

To be honest, Yang Ruoqian still had some impressions, but he really didn't care about the details.

"Well, I think it's OK, right?" Yang Ruoqian said casually, "But this kind of professional matter is left to the director, I won't interfere with the crew's decision."

The only purpose of Mr. Yang sitting here is to make every actor fit the character in the movie, so that the "correctness" of the movie will not be too in line with the local culture.

Mr. Yang really doesn't care whether the role is suitable or not.

It's best if it's not suitable, and the whole movie will flop directly, which is the most in line with Mr. Yang's needs.

"Really?" Mag stood up and left the set with Yang Ruoqian through the exclusive channel, "I have received several emails here, saying that someone wants this position, are you sure you don't want to take a look?"

Someone wants the leading role, and it's someone who can contact Mag...

That's probably not an ordinary person, at least very rich.

There are only two situations, one is a person with a lot of popularity, a group of loyal fans who will watch any movie she makes, and as long as she joins the cast, she will definitely increase the box office.

Or maybe it's a new talent that a company wants to focus on training. They come with a lot of money and only ask the crew to put their people in the leading role in order to become famous immediately.

Yang Ruoqian's mouth twitched and shook his head, saying, "Forget it, no need to look at it... Or if they want to come, they can sign up for the audition themselves and follow the same process as other actors."

In order to take care of those who can't make it, there are two auditions on the set.

Of course, unless it is absolutely necessary, basically no one will audition in the second round.

Although the director has no quota limit in the first round of screening, it is better to arrive early than late - for example, if a performance above average arrives early, the director will most likely give a green card.

But if more and more people have this kind of performance, the director's expectation threshold will be raised and the green card may not be issued later.

"Okay, then I'll reply to them like this."

Yang Ruoqian waved his hand: "Go ahead, and by the way, we can announce our cast."

"Cast?" Mag was stunned, "But isn't our cast not yet determined?"

"It's okay. Let all the actors who got the green card take a photo and promote it." Yang Ruoqian used the same trick to fool the secretary to fool Mag, "These actors came from afar to our theater to make a movie. If they are not selected in the second round, it will be a waste of time."

"Give them some publicity and arrange the local standard hourly wage during the audition. It can be regarded as a little compensation."

Mag was stunned again: "Sir Yang, can you explain what the "standard" hourly wage means?"

Either the lowest or the average, what does this standard mean?

Where does the standard come from, and who sets the standard?

Yang Ruoqian sighed and said, "Just, a little higher than the average, that's the standard."

"Okay, okay... Sir Yang, you are so generous."

"..."

While the two chatted, Mag also issued relevant tasks to his subordinates.

Not long after, relevant information began to appear on various social media-the new movie of Kuiguang Group, which filmed the "Black Robe Inspection Team" series and the AI ​​masterpiece "The Redeemer", is about to start the preliminary preparations.

The cast has also been preliminarily determined.

Recently, the "Liuguang" has been sailing in various Asian countries. Luo Ruyin has become a global top star, and the name of Kuiguang Group has gradually entered the public's field of vision.

As soon as these publicity came out, they attracted countless eyes.

These included other film companies, including brokerage companies that wanted to get a starring role, and some unspeakable groups.

"Boss, come and see, the cast of Kuiguang Group's new movie has been announced!"

As soon as the voice fell, a bunch of people immediately surrounded them and began to examine them with the most vicious eyes.

In the past, Kuiguang Group mainly operated in the mainland market, and it was useless for them to jump around... But this time, they have too much room to play.

There is still a three-layer wolf in the wind, isn't it easy to catch a little braid?

But obviously, they still overestimated their opponents a little bit-because this cast is really not "diverse".

Looking at the beauties and eye-catching actors on the promotional page, the scene was suddenly filled with laughter.

"Okay! With this cast, we're in for a big deal this time."

"Hurry up, let's make a guide document and let them modify the movie based on it. We can sell it to them for at least $2 million! If they don't buy it or modify it, hehe..."
