"Well, we know each other almost well. Jiang, I think you have studied the character Chandler's profile carefully. Can you tell me what kind of character he is? Simply put.

Just say how you feel."

The four of them chatted happily. After all, regardless of Jiang Kan's identity, he came from thousands of miles away across the ocean to audition. The two crew chiefs still maintained a very respectful attitude towards him.

"Well, from what I feel, Chandler is first of all a person who attaches great importance to friendship, and is very kind, and at the same time a little neurotic. He likes to make little jokes and cold humor that no one understands from time to time.

, I often act as a lubricant between six good friends, and at the same time, I am a bit effeminate due to family reasons when I was young..."

Jiang Kan has read the script and general character settings of the first episode, and has carefully studied and analyzed the character, so he can speak very smoothly now.

"Yes, Jiang, you said it very well. He is indeed such a person, and I would like to add that this character is actually very weak at heart. He is very eager to get attention and kindness from others because of his childhood experience.

So occasionally he has a weak side, but he encourages himself to be strong, so he uses some inappropriate and cold jokes to disguise himself."

Screenwriters David and Kevin looked at each other, nodded, and added.

"This character... it should be said that we all the characters. We will gradually expand their character images in the future. They are not static. Of course, it is only the first season, and we cannot think too far..."

Kevin also added that the more he looked at Jiang Kan's personal image, the more he felt that they matched each other very well. Even if he is an Asian replacing a Western character...well, he can also consider fine-tuning his character image in the future.

, making it more suitable for the needs of the plot.

Jiang Kan nodded and expressed his understanding. These are normal practices. All TV dramas will do this when they don't know what their future prospects will be at the beginning. It's very common.

"Jiang, why don't you come and audition for this role? Let's see how well you grasp his character image, and also your acting skills. Don't be too nervous. The other actors are all newcomers, so you don't have to

I’m too worried that my acting skills can’t keep up with them…”

He stood up and handed an A4 paper with lines and script on the table to Jiang Kan.

"Let's try this section. It's a small scene in the first episode. Several friends explain what 'work' is to the unworldly daughter Rachel. Chandler's lines, let's do it.

You will be matched with someone else."

"Okay, I happened to have practiced all his lines and performances in the first episode. Let me give it a try...ahem..."

The formal audition finally came. Although Jiang Kan said he wasn't excited, he was actually nervous because he had played supporting roles in some movies and TV series before, so he still didn't show any timidity.

David and Zhang Lingling both stood up and stepped aside. Kevin and David worked together to pull the wooden round table and chairs located in the "kitchen" closer to the door.

Then David walked to the purple door, which was hung with gold and did not contain any photos. Only a brass cat's eye was exposed. He leaned against it and nodded to Jiang Kan and Kevin.

"Shut up and move my table back!"

David took on the role of Monica and said in the direction of the round table.

"OK!"

Kevin, who was sitting on the chair by the table, and Jiang Kan, who was standing by the table, responded while pulling the table and chairs back closer to the refrigerator.

At the same time, Jiang Kan began to move the round table while saying the lines that he had already memorized by heart:

"Okay, kids, I'm going to work!"

He tried hard to remember the requirements in the script, while trying his best to make his movements skillful and natural.

So he picked up the orange coffee cup on the table that had not yet finished the coffee, put one hand on his chest to straighten the clothes that were wrinkled when he sat down, and walked slowly and gracefully towards the place where the chopping board was placed in the kitchen.

tower.

As he walked, he recalled the lines in the script and continued in a self-deprecating and nonchalant tone:

"But if I don't put those numbers in, it won't make any difference."

At the same time, when his right hand touched the desk, he half-turned around in an elegant and slightly feminine manner, leaned his body on it, then shook his hair to the upper left with a very small movement, and lifted his right leg away from him.

The toes touch the ground before the left foot, and the whole movement is done in one go, coherent and graceful.

Zhang Lingling watched his performance from the side, her lips raised in confusion, obviously very satisfied with his performance.

Unexpectedly, Kan Ge also pointed out his talent in acting?

Or should we say that a person who has already become an industry elite (whether in IT or music) through his own efforts has to be at the top of his class in terms of understanding and learning ability?

"Do you all have jobs?"

Kevin then added lines from the rich lady Rachel to elicit subsequent responses and expressions from everyone.

Jiang Kan was waiting for his words. At this time, the camera should have zoomed in, from the overall camera of everyone to only showing him and Monica, and he was the main character, and Monica just gave a

Half shadow.

"I'm trembling at the end, don't show your timidity!"

He cheered himself up in his mind, trying to keep his mind as calm as possible.

"Yes, we all have them."

"This way we can have money to buy things."

David next to him said in Monica's tone.

At the same time, Jiang Kan made a coordinated gesture of puckering his mouth, protruding his chin forward and then retracting it. His left hand holding the orange coffee cup also naturally protruded forward and then retracted it. The overall expression and body language highlighted one

It means "there's no point in saying it".

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Pa, pop, pop!"

Kevin's applause rang out, and while clapping his hands, he nodded slightly with great satisfaction.

David also walked over from the corner of the kitchen, put his right hand on Jiang Kan's shoulder and patted him. The fat man with a big belly and a big beard also showed a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

"Very good, Jiang, very good. You perfectly captured the character's slightly effeminate and elegant posture, as well as the light self-deprecating, self-ridiculing cynicism that only shows up among friends.

And he carelessly pretends to be a mentally strong character."

He nodded again with great satisfaction, patted Jiang Kan's shoulder hard with "pa, pa", then turned back to his old partner and said:

"What about Kevin? I would say that Jiang is definitely qualified for this role. He has enough image and temperament, and he also has a very smart acting skills. Did you see the mocking look in his eyes just now? Mocking.

I am insignificant in the company, and I have such a joking expression that I am not like myself? I dare say that when Matthew came to audition for this role, he did not do as well as him. Jiang will definitely be able to perform this role very well.

!”

…

Because of a series of preconceived expectations and Jiang Kan's small audition performance, Kevin and David were very satisfied, and they immediately decided to sign Jiang Kan to complete the role in the future.

Because I just came here, no one has taken over the role of Jiang Kan's manager yet, so Zhang Lingling came to help Jiang Kan negotiate for the next specific matter, while David and Jiang Kan came to the opposite side with coffee cups.

He chatted in an apartment rented by the crew and introduced some crew members to him.

Zhang Lingling started specific contract negotiations with Kevin and the crew's financial staff.

The final result was that Jiang Kan played the role of "Chandler" in all 24 episodes of the first season. The reward for each episode was 35,000 US dollars. The crew provided make-up personnel, cosmetics and all costumes.

, the actors need to report to the set by themselves and there is no nanny car, but the crew will pay an accompanying assistant a cost of 1,000 yuan per episode. The crew will be responsible for the meals during the performance and purchase corresponding insurance for the actors.

As for if Jiang Kan needs to write some promotional songs for the new drama in the future and sing them himself, then we can make another agreement at that time.

In this way, Jiang Kan will earn a pre-tax income of 840,000 US dollars in one season.

Compared with the remuneration he received as a singer, this price seems a little shabby.

But Jiang Kan himself is very satisfied.

First of all, this is a new drama, and it has no reputation or mass base yet, so it is impossible to pay the actors too much.

Secondly, through Zhang Lingling's research, it was found that the salaries of several other leading actors in each episode were similar to his, and according to Millikin's film and television industry practices, the salaries of non-white actors will be relatively much lower. Jiang

The fact that Kan can get the same remuneration as other white actors is a green light given by David and Kevin.

Of course, these two people didn't know Jiang Kan's other identity - the general manager of Feiyang Entertainment's Xinxiang branch in the United States.

Although it is headquartered in China and most of its influence is in Xia Guo, the company's influence in North America is still comparable to that of the six major film producers. However, there are several branches here, so its influence is relatively scattered.

Some.

But for the two bosses of the crew, he is still quite a giant. If they knew Jiang Kan's identity, they would definitely be more respectful to him, but this was not Jiang Kan's original intention. After all, he

This time he came here to be an actor. It has always been one of his dreams to practice his acting skills and participate in a sitcom.

Besides, it is impossible for someone to really increase the price several times just because he is the boss of a big company. This is against the rules.

The contract was signed and it was already evening.

Jiang Kan said goodbye to the two big guys happily, and drove back to his residence with Zhang Lingling.

"Hey, this Xia guy's performance is really amazing. For a moment just now, I felt that Jiang was Chandler himself. Even though the character is much more masculine than expected, I still think he can be very good.

Well qualified for this role.”

While Kevin and David were drinking half a cup of coffee that had already gone cold in the cup, they stood in front of the window and watched Jiang Kan's Black Warrior gradually driving out of his sight on the street.

"Yes, Kevin, I have great expectations for this. The filming will officially start tomorrow. I really hope to see what kind of chemical reaction can be produced between the six of them earlier?"

David raised his neck and drank the coffee in the cup while recalling in his mind the five leading actors who had already met and practiced several scenes together.

"There must be a chemical reaction. After all, they have different cultural perspectives. I don't know if they will get along with each other..."

He murmured to himself, turned around, and no longer looked at the night view outside the window.

"I think there is no problem. It can be seen that this Jiang is not a difficult person to get along with, and he is older than them. I think he is an experienced person who has seen the world and has a tempered personality."
