Entertainment: Become an actor from picking up attributes

"Get out! What the hell are you acting! Are you from a major? I think you are just embarrassing the Dijing Film and Television Academy!"

"Get out of here!"

In the conference room, a tall, thin, middle-aged man with short hair kept shouting angrily.

This person is Cao Baoguo, the director of "Heart of the Burning Sun"!

Cao Baoguo's face was very serious, and he was even more majestic when he got angry.

He clutched the water bottle in his hand tightly. If the producer on the side hadn't grabbed him tightly, he would have smashed the bottle on the other person's body.

Cao Baoguo's appearance really frightened the actor opposite him, and he ran away crawling.

But even so, Cao Baoguo still didn't calm down. He sat on the chair and kept wiping his forehead.

When his breathing gradually calmed down, someone around him persuaded him:

"Director Cao, aren't you just auditioning a few actors? Even if it doesn't go well, you won't be so angry!"

"Choosing actors is a troublesome thing nowadays. Good scripts are hard to find, and suitable actors are even harder to find! Just have more patience."

"Director Cao, why don't we just stop here for the audition in the morning? Take a rest and we'll continue in the afternoon."

The producer beside Cao Baoguo also dissuaded him softly:

"Old Cao, you are also an experienced director. You should know that it is difficult to choose people. Why are you so angry with yourself?"

Cao Baoguo waved his hand. There were indeed some problems in finding actors for the recent audition.

The suitable leading role has not been found for a long time, and the actors who came to audition were really not good!

But these are not the main reasons why Cao Baoguo is angry. The reason why he is so angry is entirely because of those so-called academic actors.

Because Cao Baoguo is a teacher at Dijing Film and Television Academy, many students from Dijing Film and Television Academy came to audition, hoping that Cao Baoguo would give him some roles based on the friendship between teachers and students.

Originally, Cao Baoguo had the same idea~

After all, as a director, he also needs to maintain his own connections.

But he didn't expect that the quality of students at Dijing Film and Television Academy has deteriorated to such an extent over the years. He auditioned five students in a row, but none of them passed the standard.

In addition to Dijing Film and Television Academy, there are also students from some top film and television academies, but the quality is also very different, which is difficult to satisfy.

Is this the only quality of professional actors now?

Cao Baoguo was extremely disappointed and angry.

Today, as the Dragon Kingdom's film market becomes more and more developed, the actor's training has become increasingly unsatisfactory.

These academies have become better at producing stars than actors!

Everyone in the room looked at Cao Baoguo and seemed a little quiet for a moment.

After a while, the producer continued to ask:

"Lao Cao, do you want to continue the audition?"

Cao Baoguo nodded, his face full of exhaustion.

"Of course there are auditions, but don't let those actors who graduated from the so-called top universities come here. I want to see those actors who have mature works or are capable first!"

"Forget it, give me your list and resume, and I'll screen it myself!"

He wouldn't trust the assistant casting director to do such a thing.

Because all assistant directors will take advantage of the situation and make some unspoken rules.

When it comes to selecting people, it’s safer to do it yourself!

As he spoke, Cao Baoguo took a stack of resumes.

There are a lot of resumes, at least more than a hundred.

You know, the people who can come to audition have been screened by the assistant director, but there are still so many, which shows how popular this show is.

Cao Baoguo quickly scanned the pile of resumes, and most of the actors would write their backgrounds very clearly.

And Cao Baoguo exposed these people immediately!

Especially those who have graduated many years ago and are still flying under the banner of their alma mater are not included in his audition.

These are the kind of people who have been in the industry for many years but have not achieved anything.

After Cao Baoguo's screening, more than a hundred scripts were instantly reduced to only a dozen.

He picked up the first copy and said to the assistant casting director on the side:

“Let’s audition this person first!”

The producer leaned over from the side, looked at the resume in Cao Baoguo's hand, and frowned instantly.

"Who is this? This resume is too crude!"

Compared to other auditioning actors who want to write a book about their experiences, this resume is like a blank piece of paper.

In addition to the basic information such as name and place of origin, the column of professional experience is even more outrageous.

What about the extras in "Love in the 1990s"?

What about the extras in "Milhouse Rhapsody"?

The whole story is full of extras, and they are all extras from small productions and even online dramas.

The only one who was successful was starring in "The Legend of Jiang Yuyan".

After the producer read this resume, he scratched his head.

"Is this kind of person worthy of auditioning for our movie?"

It is obviously a high-quality production, but it feels like the style has been suddenly lowered!

The producer saw that the assistant director had walked out and quickly persuaded Cao Baoguo who was standing aside.

"Old Cao! Don't be joking. Even kids like you who are studying in majors will not bring in an extra to audition!"

"It won't be nice for him if this matter spreads!"

In a movie, you have to be particular about which role you choose to play.

He must be famous, he must have acting skills, and he must have a certain relationship background.

At the very least, you should be able to help promote the movie.

How about you as an extra? You can’t do anything, yet you still want to act?

So this line of work is really difficult at the grassroots level!

Cao Baoguo unscrewed the water bottle and took a sip of water before saying:

"Don't tell me, I really would rather have these extras than those self-proclaimed academic actors!"

"But don't worry, this Luo Fei was recommended by my old friend. There should be no problem with his acting skills."

He saw that the producer still had some concerns, so he continued:

"Anyway, let's audition first! If your acting skills aren't good, forget it!"

In ordinary movies, the director does not necessarily have the right to choose characters.

But Cao Baoguo has a profound background and strong strength, so he has strong control over the crew.

Whichever actor he said he wanted, that was the actor he wanted, and even the producer had no way to interfere.

On the other side, the assistant director had already walked outside the door, and he shouted simply:

"Who is Luo Fei? Come in!"

Even though there are a lot of people in front of me who are all actors and celebrities, the assistant casting director really doesn't pay attention to these little shrimps.

So he spoke very casually.

But even if the assistant director's attitude was problematic, no one dared to contradict him.

Everyone was just a little dissatisfied when they heard that someone was going to come in front of them for an audition.

But when Luo Fei came forward, the people waiting for the audition immediately went crazy.

"That's not right! Why should this small group of actors audition first?"
