【2】At the foot of the foggy mountain, a car with lights on moved along the mountain road.

Car radio voice-over:…

…

After reading the script of "The Crucible", Chen You was shocked for a long time.

Even though it is not a complete script, this script is the most touching script that Chen You has ever received.

"The Crucible" is of a large scale. The story mainly tells the story of sexual violence in a school for the deaf and mute being discovered, and the school teachers and human rights campaigners working together to uncover the shady story behind it.

The male protagonist Jiang Renhao is a new art teacher.

"catch!"

"Must take it!"

"Okay, Brother Chen, I'll contact you right away."

Chen You held this precious script in his hands and his excitement was palpable.

For the thirty-three-year-old Chen You, who is tepid, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

As a powerful Mesozoic actor in the entertainment industry, Chen You appears on the screen quite frequently.

The ones he most often appears in are some police and gangster films, playing supporting roles such as captains and squad captains.

Six years ago, Chen You won the Best Supporting Actor in one of the three major domestic Golden Phoenix Awards, but nothing has changed.

There is no shortage of acting opportunities for capable actors, especially male actors, but they have never been popular.

The roles are basically supporting roles. Even if Chen You is offered a starring role, it will be a terrible script.

This situation is too common in the entertainment industry.

In the entire entertainment industry, the most indispensable thing is capable actors.

The reason why there are popular stars and popular actors in front of the stage depends on whether capital supports them or not.

The commercial value of a non-A-list Mesozoic actor cannot be compared with that of Xiao Xianrou.

No one is praising it, there are no scandals, and there is no hype, so it will naturally not become popular.

In the entertainment industry, there is another important word - opportunity.

Some actors have been idle for half their lives, but suddenly become popular when no one expects them, and they are reluctant to take on the roles.

The reason why Chen You is so excited is because the importance of the protagonist's role is far greater than the 9% of the supporting roles!

This is the consensus in the entertainment industry.

Even if the entertainment industry is developed, how many movies can be produced in a year?

How many leading male roles can there be?

Except for those bad movies, there are even fewer positions and opportunities. There is no chance for a tepid Mesozoic actor like Chen You.

Be famous, who in the entertainment industry doesn’t want to be famous?

Only by becoming popular can Chen You receive more and better scripts.

…

Yanjing.

Chang'an Film and Television Company.

Chen You almost didn't hesitate. He booked a flight as soon as he received the news from Lin Qiu and rushed to Yanjing.

As soon as he entered the Chang'an living room, Chen You saw Lin Qiu, Liya and deputy director Lu Yan discussing the details of the script.

Seeing Chen You coming, they all stood up and greeted Chen You.

Lin Qiu and Liya still admire and respect Chen You, an actor who focuses on acting.

When they met for the first time, Liya was a little reserved, but Lin Qiu said with a natural expression:

"Teacher Chen, you should have read the script of "The Crucible". I wonder if you are interested in trying this role?"

Upon hearing the title Teacher Chen, Chen You immediately waved his hand and said:

"No, no, no, I'm just an actor, the teacher can't handle it."

"Call me Chen You, or if you don't mind, just call me Brother Chen."

Just by looking at Chen You's clothes, you can tell that Chen You has no pretensions. He wears quite simple clothes and is quite easy-going in his conversation.

"That's okay."

"Of course! If I don't come with such a good script and opportunity, then what kind of actor would I be!"

Chen You immediately smiled and said:

"I just watched "Love Letters" on the plane. It was so exciting."

"Liya's acting skills are superb."

One month after "Love Letters" is released, it will be available to watch on online platforms.

Matters in this area have always been handled by the company, and Lin Qiu had no control at all.

Hearing Chen You's praise, Liya's cheeks turned slightly red, "Brother Chen is so complimentary."

"No, no, no, this is not flattery."

"Good is good."

Chen You said sincerely.

He doesn't even bother to flatter a great director in Xiazhou, let alone a 20-year-old rookie director.

"Okay, Brother Chen, can you try it out now?"

"No problem at all."

Chen You said immediately.

The audition requirements for a movie couldn't be more reasonable.

The reason why the first choice was Chen You was based on the actor's acting skills and temperament.

Lin Qiu's current directing skills have not yet reached the master level, so he will look for actors based on the temperament of the original work in his previous life.

If Lin Qiu's directing skills reached S level, the casting range would be wider.

…

After a simple audition, Lin Qiu was quite satisfied with the performance of Chen You, a professional actor!

Although Chen You is a bit talkative in private, once he gets into the mood, he becomes a completely different person when acting.

Lin Qiu even felt that he had more temperament than Kong Liu in his previous life.

The salary was finalized and the contract was signed immediately.

"That's it, Brother Chen."

"There will be a big audition for "The Crucible" tomorrow. Why don't you come and help out?"

The big audition will audition some supporting roles, as well as some minor actors who are quite important in the movie!

Acting with real people during the audition is always easier to get into the state than acting with air.

"Okay, no problem."

Chen You responded, and was surprised that Changan Film and Television Company could move so fast.

You know, in the film industry, investing in one movie a year is not slow.

But Lin Qiu's "Love Letter" has just been released, and the second movie "The Crucible" is in preparation.

Once the actors are selected, it will start shooting in July.

The most important reason is still in the polishing of the script.

When the movie is really started, it will be shot quite quickly because the length is limited.

But polishing the script is quite time-consuming. A successful movie must be based on a successful movie script!

But the script is really not a problem for Lin Qiu...

As long as he draws a suitable movie, Lin Qiu only needs to slightly adapt the script.

...

In the hot summer, the outside of Changan Film and Television Company was crowded with actors who came to audition.

Compared to the number of people who auditioned for "Love Letter", it has more than doubled, and there are some well-known actors who come to audition!

Since the news of the audition for "The Crucible" was released, I don't know how many film and television companies and investors have come to inquire about investment cooperation and the situation of the male and female protagonists.

Lin Qiu's current traffic is quite good among the fan group.

Once the new work is released, there will definitely be attention.

The new work of the 20-year-old genius new director is full of gimmicks.

In this way, naturally there are film and television companies that want to insert actors from their companies, and many film and television companies directly aim at the position of the male and female protagonists!

The rules of the entertainment industry have always been like this.

Unfortunately, Chang'an is very hard.
