Dad Academy

The news of "Dark Blood" has been released for a long time, and Pujiang Film Studio has recently started auditions for actors.

This project is generally favored by the outside world. On the one hand, Pujiang Film Studio has accumulated rich experience in this type of film projects. On the other hand, this drama is the work of gold medal screenwriter Zhang Tan.

Zhang Tan's works have never been released to the public until now, and all of them are popular, setting off a ratings boom.

Some people inquired about Zhang Tan's residence and wandered outside the Little Red Horse Academy, hoping to meet Zhang Tan.

These people are usually amateurs or 18th-tier young artists. It is unlikely that any famous actor would do this.

Although the characters are rare, it is impossible to ask them to do something cheap.

In this way, not only will he not get a role, but he will be looked down upon by Zhang Tan.

This morning, Zhang Tan took Xiaobai for a morning run in the yard as usual.

He ran in front, and Xiaobai chased and played behind him.

Autumn is here, the leaves turn yellow and fall off one by one. In one night, the ground is covered with a thin layer of fallen leaves, mainly maple and sycamore trees, while camphor and mulberry trees are still green.

Xiaobai stopped from time to time and squatted on the ground to pick up leaves. He already picked up a thick pile in his hand and said that he would wait for Li Pendui to come and give it to Li Pendui to make tea.

Not just for picking up tree leaves, there are often small insects hidden under the leaves. No one knows which one it is, and opening it may bring surprises, just like opening a blind box.

Xiaobai first stumbled upon a dark, majestic long-horned beetle. He was very dissatisfied with her as an uninvited guest that disturbed his sleep. He raised his big pliers and tried to knock her over.

Xiaobai was surprised and happy. He didn't expect to see a pinworm. He quickly stopped the old man running by and pointed it out to him.

"This is a unicorn." Zhang Tan recognized it. He also liked to catch unicorns when he was a child. They were of high ornamental value. There was also a store specializing in breeding and selling large unicorns. "Don't use your hands." If I catch it, it will pinch you and it will hurt, you know?"

"Xiao knows Nao!"

Xiaobai ran over and squatted on the ground, looking at the unicorn with its teeth and claws. He picked up a small branch and knocked the unicorn to the ground. He stretched out his hand and caught the unicorn in his hand.

Zhang Tan: "..."

Just as he told her not to grab it with her hands, she turned around and committed the crime in front of him! I simply don’t take the old man seriously!

Zhang Tan...forget it, keep running.

His Xiaobai has this kind of character, a fierce one. If it were Xi'er, he would be making a fuss and shouting everywhere, scared and curious.

Not only Xi'er, but also other little girlfriends.

After a run, he went home and had breakfast. Zhang Tan took a shower and changed clothes, then stood in front of the full-length mirror and put on a shirt.

Xiaobai helped him find a coat in the closet, pulled out a red tie, and handed it to him to tie.

Zhang Tan immediately recognized that this was something Tan Jin'er had bought for him before. He had only tied it a few times and it was very useful.

It's not that he doesn't like it, but he rarely dresses so formally. Even if he wears a suit, it's a casual suit, without a tie, and the top button of the shirt is open.

"Tie? No need to wear it, it's not that formal." Zhang Tan said, putting the red tie back.

"This!" Xiaobai pulled a gray singlet in the closet.

Zhang Tan looked at it and said, "Let's take this one. Xiaobai, you have quite good taste. You know how to match clothes."

Xiaobai laughed like a little fox, boasting that this was her strength, and in the blink of an eye she picked out a pair of black sweatpants for him.

A child is really not worthy of praise.

"noob--"

Xi'er's shout came from downstairs.

Xiaobai was excited and his little ears twitched, "It's the Xibao who's here~ Ha!"

"Coming~"

Xiaobai ran to the balcony and saw Xi'er in the yard downstairs, looking upstairs with her little face raised.

"Look! I brought my sister here." Xi'er pointed at her sister happily, claiming credit first.

Tan Jin'er smiled softly and said, "Xiao Bai, have you had breakfast? I brought you scallion pancakes."

"Eat~"

After Xiaobai finished speaking, he ran into the house like the wind, passed through the living room, ran to the entrance, put on his shoes, and prepared to go out to play with Xiba.

Zhang Tan asked: "Xiaobai, Xiaobai, don't you pick out a pair of pants for me? I have no pants to wear!"

"You don't like what I found for you, so I didn't even know how to instigate you! Humph!"

Xiaobai ran out of the door and left his old father at home.

Zhang Tan had no choice but to find a pair of trousers and wear them with leather shoes. After going out, he saw Tan Jin'er sitting under a tree in the yard. The wind passed through the grove and blew the tips of her hair lightly. She stretched out her hands to close it. , turned around and saw Zhang Tan.

"I'm sorry to trouble you today," Zhang Tan said.

"I trouble you more often." Tan Jin'er stood up and said.

Zhang Tan is going to Pujiang Film Studio today to participate in an actor audition as a judge. The previous rounds of auditions have ended, and the supporting roles have basically been selected. Today there are two auditions for starring roles to be completed, and several well-known actors have come. The studio treated it with caution and specially invited Zhang Tan, who had always declined to participate.

"hiahiahiahia~~~"

"Hahahahaha~~~"

Xiaobai and Xi'er's laughter came from the grove.

The two little ones stood under the big tree and raised their heads. The wind blew by, making a rustling sound, and yellow leaves fell one after another and floated over their heads.

They jumped around and caught fallen leaves with their hands.

Seeing that they were having fun, Zhang Tan did not go to say goodbye to Xiao Bai, but said a word to Tan Jin'er and left.

Today is the weekend, and there are a lot fewer people in Pujiang Film Studio. The usually crowded hall seems empty today, with only three beautiful ladies sitting at the front desk. Perhaps because there was no one around, the three young ladies were chatting and laughing. One of them saw Zhang Tan coming in through the revolving door and quickly stood up and said hello.

"Teacher Zhang~"

"Hello." Zhang Tan responded, and the other two receptionists also stood up and put away the smiles on their faces.

"The audition is in the first conference room on the fifth floor." The young lady who got up first introduced, walked out from the front desk, and went to the elevator to press the button. "The audition starts at 9:30, and Director Ren has already arrived."

"Thanks."

The elevator was coming down from the fifth floor. Taking advantage of this gap, Zhang Tan asked, "Have the actors for the audition arrived?"

"Yes, I saw Yao Quan and Zhang Yuchen." When talking about these two people, the girl in uniform raised her voice unconsciously.

Yao Quan and Zhang Yuchen are both powerful actors of the new generation. Speaking of which, Zhang Tan has interacted with these two people.

Yao Quan participated in "Latent" and played a supporting role.

Zhang Yuchen also auditioned for "Latent". During the audition, Zhang Tan was the judge, but unfortunately she lost to Su Lan.

"I'll just go up there myself. You can go ahead and get busy."

When the elevator arrived, Zhang Tan came to the fifth floor. There were staff moving tables in the corridor. He pushed the door open and entered the first conference room.

There were originally many tables and chairs in the conference room, but now there is only one table left. Three chairs are placed behind the table, and another one is placed about three meters away in front of the table.

The conference room seemed empty, leaving a large open space for actors to audition and perform.

Zhang Tan saw Director Ren.

Director Ren is named Ren Zhicheng, who once directed "The Wind".

"The Wind" was invested by Pujiang Zhongcheng Film Company, but Ren Zhicheng is not a contracted director of this company. He is an independent director and goes wherever there is an opportunity. This time he was invited by Pujiang Film Studio to direct "Dark Blood" 》.

When Ren Zhicheng saw Zhang Tan, he said: "This time there are only two roles, but there are eight actors, all of whom are stars. It's really hard to choose."

The two roles in this audition are the male lead and the female lead.

"Then keep improving and choose the best among the best. Eight people compete for two roles. No matter what, there will always be six to eight people who will lose." Zhang Tan said.

"Six to eight people? Zhang Tan, you are even more ruthless. You can't even look down on eight people?"

"We all have a thread in our hearts. We consider it online, but I'm sorry offline. If there are eight people here, we have to choose two from them, don't you think?"

"……That's true."

Ren Zhicheng was alert and deeply believed in Zhang Tan's words. The reason why he came up with the idea that he must choose two people out of the eight people was because these eight people were of considerable background, especially Yao Quan and Zhang Yuchen. They were both famous and powerful. Their reputations were very high at the moment, and he was a little overwhelmed by them. .

Ren Zhicheng's director career spans more than ten years, and he has worked with many actors, but there are very few stars. It was not until he directed "The Wind" that he became famous and had the opportunity to direct a major drama.

"Where are they? I'll go over and say hello." Zhang Tan asked.

"It's in the lounge next door. You can go, I have to prepare."

Zhang Tan left the conference room. To the left was the lounge, which was usually reserved for conference attendees. Today, it was used as a waiting room for the actors.

Zhang Tan opened the door, and there were men and women chatting inside. The atmosphere was very relaxed, talking and laughing. When they saw the door open, they all looked over.

"It's Teacher Zhang here."

Yao Quan, who was sitting at the front seat, was the first to recognize Zhang Tan and stood up to greet him warmly.

The others were stunned for a moment, and then quickly stood up after hearing Yao Quan's words.

Zhang Tan was so young and walked in so suddenly that they didn't react at all, especially several of them who had never come into contact with Zhang Tan in real life and this was their first time meeting him.
