Chapter 142
The next day.
At eight o’clock in the morning…
The headquarters of Oriental Media Company was already full of artists auditioning.
Outside the company, it was surrounded by reporters, paparazzi, and fans of various stars.
At this time…
Wang Zhonglei, the boss of Huayi Brothers, was looking at the bustling Oriental Media Company with a gloomy face.
That’s right, Yang Mi opened the company opposite Huayi Brothers.
This wave of operations almost made the brothers Wang Zhonglei and Wang Zhongjun die of anger on the spot!
But Yang Mi was backed by Su Mo, so they had to endure it no matter how angry they were.
And when the other party opened, they had to celebrate with a smile.
Seeing the other party’s guests and friends were full and lively.
Wang Zhonglei took a deep puff of his cigarette and gritted his teeth and said:
“Why does this Su guy not do his research properly, but he wants to make a movie?”
“He can make a lot of money with technology, but he has to compete with us for our jobs. Is he mentally ill?”
“It must be Yang Mi’s pillow talk!”
“Damn it! Why didn’t the big truck directly hit this little goblin to death!”
Compared to his angry brother, Wang Zhongjun is much more stable than him.
“Xiaolei, you can curse me in front of me, but keep your mouth shut in front of outsiders!”
“Also, don’t do stupid things without thinking!”
“Otherwise, Jin Dazhong is a lesson for us, and we will both be shot!”
Hearing his brother’s stern warning, Wang Zhonglei nodded unwillingly.
Still a little worried, Wang Zhongjun, who was afraid that he would cheat his brother, comforted him:
“I have already inquired clearly. The man surnamed Su was just playing around on a whim. This wave of wind will pass.”
“Let him lose everything. After he is embarrassed, he will know his depth.”
“Let’s just sit back and watch him make a fool of himself!”
Hearing this.
Wang Zhonglei nodded with a sneer, and his mood suddenly became much more comfortable.
On the other side…
Oriental Media Headquarters.
Luxurious decoration, clean and bright.
In the classroom of nearly 1,000 square meters.
There is only one table and three chairs.
Su Mo is sitting in the center.
Behind him, there are two fully armed and expressionless guards.
Sitting on the left is the teacher from Beijing Film Academy invited by Yang Mi.
Sitting on the right is Lu Yong, the prototype of “Dying to Survive” invited by Su Mo.
The two people standing next to them were also acting teachers from Beijing Film Academy.
“Please get ready!”
“The audition will start soon!”
The attendant in charge of the order on the scene was sweating profusely.
There were too many celebrities who came to audition today.
This scene, this appeal.
Only when the red carpet of the film festival can so many celebrities come.
One minute later…
The three people in the first group opened the door and entered the classroom.
They were Lu Han, Zhao Liying, and Liu Shishi.
“Hello, director, my name is Lu Han.”
“Hello, director, my name is Zhao Liying.”
“Hello, director, my name is Liu Shishi.”
Although they had drunk together yesterday, the three of them still introduced themselves in a proper manner.
Su Mo, who was sitting in the middle seat, nodded slightly to the three of them.
Then, two teachers from Beijing Film Academy began to act with the three of them.
Lu Han’s audition lines were the yellow-haired character in the play.
Zhao Liying and Liu Shishi are Sihui, who dances pole dancing to earn money to save her daughter.
Two minutes later…
Su Mo frowned: “Switch to the next group!”
After hearing this, they just finished rehearsing.
Lu Han, Zhao Liying, and Liu Shishi, who were originally full of confidence, were dumbfounded.
Just… were eliminated like this?
Although they were unwilling.
But the three of them still bowed to Su Mo.
Under the guidance of the stage staff, they left the classroom honestly.
Su Mo was generally very satisfied with the acting skills of Zhao Liying and Liu Shishi.
In the future, there will be plenty of scripts to communicate with them.
But the heroine Sihui has to have that kind of enchanting flavor.
And Zhao Liying’s round face is more suitable for playing the sweet type.
Liu Shishi’s facial temperament is also more suitable for playing the gentle role in costume dramas.
For Sihui, a woman with charming eyes, charming, but also pitiful.
The two actresses Zhao and Liu obviously can’t act that way.
In Su Mo’s opinion, out of respect for the original work.
All the important roles in “Dying to Survive” must be played by the original cast.
He will not tamper with any of the scenes.
So, in Su Mo’s mind.
The main characters and supporting roles have already been decided.
The audition today is just a formality to cover up the truth.
As for whether it will delay the time for the stars to audition, Su Mo will not have any psychological burden.
Audition is the job of an actor.
It’s like going to a mall. Do you have to buy every piece of clothing you try on?
Besides.
It’s not like I’m forcing these people to audition.
It’s obviously these actors who are rushing to pay their respects.
Su Mo will not ruin the classic original work for the sake of selling favors.
Outside the classroom…
Seeing that the three first-line stars Lu Han, Zhao Liying, and Liu Shishi who just entered were directly rejected.
The celebrities and artists queuing behind were stunned!
“Next group, come in!”
“Hello, director. I’m Liu Yifei, Nini, and Huang Zitao.”
After the rehearsal…
Su Mo had a blank expression on his face: “Switch to the next group.”
Liu Yifei’s cold eyes flashed with surprise, but she immediately returned to normal.
Huang Zitao and Nini, who were full of confidence, were also confused.
After they reacted, they had to smile bitterly and leave the classroom.
At this time…
The artists queuing outside were dumbfounded when they saw that the fairy sisters were eliminated!
The stage manager shouted with a twitch at the corner of his mouth: “Next group, come in!”
“Hello, director. I’m Li Bingbing, I’m Song Yi, and I’m Brother Hu.”
Looking at the handsome Su Mo, Song Yi’s beautiful eyes were tender.
He and the teacher from Beijing Film Academy started a passionate rehearsal.
Two minutes later…
Su Mo waved his hand: “Switch to the next group.”
After watching another group of big names being eliminated and walking out of the classroom dejectedly,
The actors who were queuing outside suddenly felt a lot of pressure!
But there were grassroots extras like Zhang Yu, and actors who were not famous like Tan Zhuo and Wang Yanhui.
After seeing that Su Mo really only looked for the right ones in casting, regardless of the status, I couldn’t help but feel excited.
And at this time…
Yang Mi and Wang Xiaoyan, who were busy at the scene, felt that their heads were big.
In just half an hour, Su Mo eliminated seventy or eighty big names.
Not to mention the protagonist, even a supporting role has not been decided yet.
This elimination rate is even more stringent than the Spring Festival Gala!
Seeing so many female stars with better acting skills than her were ruthlessly eliminated by Su Mo.
Reba, who was originally sulking because Su Mo didn’t let her play Sihui, suddenly felt more comfortable and balanced.
“Next group, come in!”
“Hello, Director. I’m Xu Zheng, Tan Zhuo, and Na Zha.”
Seeing Cheng Yong, the male lead in “Dying to Survive”, and Si Hui, the female lead, finally come.
Moreover, they were assigned to the same group for the audition.
Su Mo, who was sitting in the director’s seat, suddenly had his eyes light up!
