So he changed the topic: "What did you find out when you went back? About Kyriad."
"Wait, wait, I found something very interesting now, but I will tell you when I have more clues. By the way, I have submitted a report to the company's senior management, saying that Dream Huyu is a A promising company with the best singers and songwriters and the most potential directors in Dahua, and it may be among the top eight in Dahua in the future. When I return to Dahua next time, I will take a mission to inspect you gone."
"Investigate us?"
"Yes, to examine your qualifications as partners."
Du Caige said, "Imagine the scene where I give you the middle finger."
"Ha ha!"
Before you know it, it's the last day of October.
"I just discovered something interesting on the Internet at noon. Among the top 30 Weibo searches today, 5 of them were related to me." Du Caige said this in a joking tone.
Assistant director Liu Zifei gave him a blank look: "Can you be a little self-aware? In the past few months, was there a day when the trending Weibo was completely unrelated to you?"
Du Caige opened his mouth, and was about to use his camera memory to find a few days to refute, but after going through his head carefully, he found that he had nothing to say.
Because really, recently, there has been at least one trending search related to him every day.
For example, "President Yan is suspected of having a child out of wedlock."Although it was about Yan Yingzhen, it was also related to him.
For example, "Queen Su cursed loudly while recording the program", of course he was the one who scolded.Although this is a rumor, it is also a rumor about him.
Also, "The girl we chased together in those years broke the box office record of online movies this year".
So Du Caige could only shake his head and laugh, "Before I knew it, I became a traffic star."
"Traffic? Yes. Celebrity? Not necessarily." Liu Zifei smiled.
Du Caige let out a long breath: "You are so good at complaining now."
"I can't help it. I run around in various production groups every day. If I don't learn how to complain, those rough guys will eat me alive." Liu Zifei stroked her short hair, feeling a little disappointed, "Hey, think about my old lady who used to be as beautiful as a flower, gentle and virtuous, Now she has become an aunt with explosive fighting power."
Du Caige laughed out loud. "To me, this is a kind of progress. Being a director requires such fighting power. On the set, who are you gentle and gentle? You still have to rely on loud shouting and sharp tongue."
"You are right."
After the two exchanged a few words, they both shut their mouths and waited quietly.
Du Caige's thoughts drifted a little.
Among the top 30 most searched items today, 5 were actually related to him, so he laughed at himself and said, "Because I became a traffic star without knowing it".
"The pre-sale of soundtrack albums started in those years."
"hero airborne hits the top of the list."
"Music New Power officially announced that Hemingway will return."
"The founding officially launched the million-dollar bonus campaign."
"The 2008 Baiyang Scholarship Award is about to be completed."
that's all.
opps, no, it should be 6.
I almost forgot, there is another item, "Rurouni Kenshin is about to be changed."
At first glance, Rurouni Kenshin and Hemingway are not related.
But in Azure Star, the manga Rurouni Kenshin is created by the cartoonist Ronan, who provided the ideas, character settings and story outlines by Lin Ke.
Therefore, the copyright of Rurouni Kenshin is jointly owned by Lin Ke and Luo Nan.
And Lin Ke needless to say.
So this trending search is also related to him, nothing wrong with it.
At this moment, "da, da, da" knocked on the door regularly.
The staff standing by the door opened the door immediately, and a mature and handsome middle-aged man walked in with a smile on his face, and raised his hand to greet Du Caige and Liu Zifei: "Director Du, Director Liu, long time no see!"
Liu Zifei immediately stood up and saluted: "Mr. Yang, you should call me Xiao Liu! You look good, it seems that the teacher has taken good care of you recently."
Du Caige didn't dare to take it too seriously, and stood up and responded: "Mr. Yang, thank you very much for coming, and hope that I can have the honor to cooperate with you again."
"Where, where," Ouyang Liyan, a professor of the Department of Specter Acting, smiled heartily and approached the two, "I hope to be lucky enough to cooperate with Director Du. I knew it when we filmed the depths of flowers together, you A very talented young director."
"But this time I realized that I still underestimated you. A few days ago, I watched those years with some teachers from the school. We were really shocked."
"Among the younger generation of directors under the age of 40, there are probably only three or five who have your level. The day you invited me to film the sequels of those years, I was so excited that I almost stayed up all night."
Du Caige didn't know how well this professor taught.
But what is certain is that he is really good at being a man and talking.
Du Caige claims to be a mature man with high emotional intelligence and good social etiquette, so he naturally wants to reciprocate and exchange business with Professor Ouyang Liyan.
They played each other for about ten minutes, until Liu Zifei coughed lightly: "How about, let's start the audition, there are still people waiting behind."
"That's right, it's time to start," Du Caige said, "Mr. Yang, are you ready?"
Ouyang Liyan said: "I have been preparing for several days. As for whether I am ready, I dare not speak big words, but I will definitely show my best state. Please correct me by Director Du."
"This is called an artist, who can recruit and fight when he comes, which is much better than some current traffic stars." Du Caige praised.From this time on, they ended their commercial bragging, and began to enter a new role as a director and actor.
"By the way, who are my competitors?" Ouyang Liyan asked.
"There are no competitors, our audition today is not casting a wide net," Liu Zifei explained, "For each role, we only sent out audition invitations to one or two actors who are more promising. There are also some roles that we have no promising candidates for the time being." Yes, we will organize another audition together. Teacher Yang, we only invited you for this role."
Ouyang Liyan laughed and said, "Then I can breathe a sigh of relief. My big screen performance experience is still relatively lacking. If I have to face competition, I don't have much confidence."
Du Caige gave him a reassurance: "Mr. Yang, we just think you are more suitable for this role and believe that you can play well, so we only invite you alone. Just relax a little and treat it as an acting teaching!" "
Ouyang Liyan nodded with a smile.
"So, Mr. Yang, the role you auditioned for is the middle-aged Lin He, who is also the protagonist of this film. I sent you a fragment of the script before, how about you choose a part to perform?"
"can."
Ouyang Liyan nodded to Liu Zifei, walked a few steps, and stood in front of the camera.
"I'll just perform the part where Lin He goes to find Yongzi and prepares to reorganize the band."
"No problem. Xiao Liu, you go to play for Teacher Yang, and you are familiar with the script."
Liu Zifei bypassed the desk and came to Ouyang Liyan.
The two stood quietly, waiting for Du Caige's instructions.
Du Caige said, "Start."
Ouyang Liyan immediately changed his expression and started to walk.
The way he walks is a little cautious, which is the most common form of middle-aged people living in the middle and lower classes.
Then he stood still, as if standing at the door of a certain shop, looking inside.
After hesitating for a while, he walked in and tentatively asked, "Yongzi?"
Liu Zifei looked up at him, showing a look of surprise: "Lin He! It's really you! You haven't changed much these years!"
"Okay, thank you, Teacher Yang, for the wonderful performance." Du Caige signaled the staff to turn off the camera.
Ouyang Liyan glanced at Liu Zifei quickly, then turned his attention to Du Caige, and smiled: "Director Du, I heard what Director Liu said before."
"Teacher Yang, you can just call me Xiao Liu."
Ouyang Liyan paused with a smile before continuing: "She said, you originally planned to play the role of the middle-aged Lin He by yourself. You even planned to let the band members perform in their true colors for the members of the Grimace Band. no."
"No such thing, there is no ghost face band in this world." Du Caige denied it.
"Director Du," Ouyang Liyan said with a broken smile, "I've lived in Shanghai for decades, do you think I've never heard of Grimace?"
Du Caige nodded reluctantly: "Okay, sorry, I had this plan before. But because of some reasons that are inconvenient to say, I can only give up this idea and adjust the script."
Ouyang Liyan raised his eyebrows: "Can you tell me, what are your original plans?"
After a long silence, Du Caige said: "I had an idea before. At the end of the movie, after the band reorganizes, they are about to hold a concert. At this time, the movie ends, and at the same time, the way to buy tickets for the concert is shown on the screen. , venue, etc.”
"Then, actually go to a concert in reality and record the concert."
"Finally, there will be a director's cut version of those young boys, cutting the two micro-movies together, and putting the cut scene of the concert into it."
"The audience of the concert has also become the extras in the movie."
"But for some reason, I don't plan to do it now."
Ouyang Liyan was amazed: "What a genius idea, and it can be realized. As the lead singer of the band, Duan Xiaochen has unparalleled appeal. Tickets for this concert will definitely be snapped up."
"I really want to see you shoot like this."
Du Caige shrugged: "I want to too, but it's a bit inconvenient."
"It's a pity," Ouyang Liyan said, "Actually, although I want to try being the protagonist, I would like to see you make this movie in such a novel way. I will also buy a concert ticket to support one time."
Du Caige smiled and said, "There's no way, things can't go as you wish. Teacher Yang, thank you again for taking the time to audition, and I'll call you to let you know the result."
"I want you to tell me that you decided to play the role yourself."
"Ha ha!"
After Ouyang Liyan left, Du Caige went to take a closer look at the recorded footage.
After a while, Liu Zifei asked: "What do you think, are you satisfied with his performance?"
Du Caige nodded, then shook his head again.
"I don't understand what that means."
"I won't question his acting ability. But"
Du Caige thought for a while, and continued, "But I feel that there is still a big difference between him and Lin He in my mind."
"You mean, it's very different from your image."
"No, Lin He is Lin He, and I am me. I am not Lin Ke, I am Hemingway." Du Caige said something she couldn't understand.
Chapter 388 The Night of Champions
November 11rd, Yuxi International Community, Magic City.
"I'm here to see 'New Power of Music', not for you, so don't be too sentimental."
Du Caige was speechless.Dong Wenbin returned to Dahua faster than he imagined.
"Then what are you doing on my sofa?"
"Because... I don't want to go to the hotel?"
"Didn't you say that we should keep a low profile and pretend we don't know each other? Are you not afraid that Shen Jinsong will find out that we are friends?"
Dong Wenbin looked at him like an idiot.
"What did I say wrong?"
"As if I told you before, I'm here this time as the deputy music director of Miracle in the Green Mile, on behalf of Miracle in Green, to conduct a preliminary investigation of Chasing Dream Interactive Entertainment, and consider the possibility of establishing a cooperative relationship."
"Said."
"So, now I know you, Mr. Du, the creative director and executive director of Chasing Dream Huyu. Mr. Du, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Steven Dong. You can call me Steve, and my friends call me that."
Du Caige watched him play tricks expressionlessly.
"Brother," Du Yuqi, who was watching the excitement, asked cautiously, "Is this really Brother Wen Bin?"
Dong Wenbin squeezed out a kind smile: "Qiqi, I shouldn't have changed much, right? Look, I have handsome sword eyebrows, a handsome smile, and these, these eyes that are as bright as stars. Yet?"
"Ha ha……"
"Probably because you were too young back then, and I haven't come back for so many years, so you can't remember clearly." Dong Wenbin's smile stiffened for a moment, "Actually, I really haven't changed much, really."
"Ha ha……"
Du Yuqi has been smiling sweetly, she is a polite girl.
The voice of "hehe" next to her is her idiot brother.
"Since you are here on business on behalf of the Green Mile Miracle Company," Du Caige deftly turned the topic back, "then we can get to know each other openly, then you can find out that I am preparing to start shooting a new film, and I am very excited Want to come and play a cameo role."
"That's right!" Dong Wenbin slapped his thigh violently, "You are the guitar player, I am the drummer, and Yuko is the bass player. With the addition of a short singing voice, our 'Ghostface Band' is invincible! Haha!"
"The lead singer of 'Ghostface Band' doesn't seem to be sister Xiaochen?" Du Yuqi said doubtfully.
