"Boss, the lawyer you hired has contacted five students who have been bullied. The parents of three students are willing to cooperate and provide relevant evidence. The other two are worried about retaliation, so they are unwilling to have too much contact with the lawyer.

"

Qiao Yinghong brought the work contents reported by the lawyer last week to Fang Xing.

Fang Xing flipped through it casually, mainly showing some scars left by bullying.

The scars are not big, most of them are burns.

Judging from this evidence, it actually has little effect.

In cases like school bullying, if the bully is a minor and only causes minor injuries and pain to the victim, it is usually useless to call the police.

Legally, in order for school bullying to reach the level of sentencing, it needs to cause minor injuries, or even disability, to the victim in order to have a chance of being sentenced.

However, what is legally defined as a minor injury actually has to be very serious to meet the standard, basically to the extent of a broken hand or foot.

Therefore, these photos make people angry, but they are of little use.

"Are there any serious injuries?" Fang Xing asked.

Qiao Yinghong shook her head and replied: "From the information found by the lawyer, it is basically this kind of flesh injury."

She paused and added: "However, the lawyer went out of his way to talk to the high school student who sent the email, and the bullies began to vent their anger on her."

Fang Xing didn't know what to say: "So after I transferred to another school, nothing changed."

Qiao Yinghong shrugged helplessly: "That seems to be the case. What's more, the three bullies also had contact with some people in society."

Fang Xing thought for a moment and said, "Let's find a few people who are good at following and filming, and follow those three people to get direct evidence."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements later." Qiao Yinghong agreed, and then continued to report on the preparations for the new drama.

…

The auditions for the new middle school actors in the drama have basically ended.

I went to the performance departments of seven or eight art schools and auditioned more than a thousand newcomers.

Later, the crew held a meeting to discuss which new actors to use.

All audition videos are saved.

Among the more than a thousand resumes, Fang Xing marked seventy or eighty. He then dug out the audition videos of these seventy or eighty newcomers, watched them again, and then discussed them.

"I think this is okay. This boy is very handsome and suitable for playing the second generation of rich people." The casting director suggested.

There are five people in the bullying group in the play, two men and three women. One of the boys is a rich second generation and can be regarded as the second person in the bullying group.

This character really needs to be a little more handsome.

"The image is indeed not bad, I'll keep this as a backup." Fang Xing also thinks this newcomer is not bad.

Among the five members of the bullying group, the one who actually plays the most roles is the female leader of the bullying group, who is also the most important villain in the show.

The other characters' middle school scenes were not very demanding.

But the acting skills of the female leader of the bullying group are very demanding. People must know at a glance that this person is very cruel and does not treat others as human beings.

Fang Xing was in Xu Zhiwen's class and auditioned a rather stunning female student.

When this female student showed that half-smiling expression to the camera, Fang Xing thought it was so appropriate.

After the actors for the five members of the bullying group were confirmed, it was time to choose the actor for the middle school heroine.

I re-watched all the actors who auditioned for the middle school heroine. There were one or two who were okay, but a little bit dissatisfied.

Every time Fang Xing watches the audition video, that female student from the Normal University can't help but pop up in his mind.

It was obvious that this female student from the Normal University had no acting skills, but her appearance at that time came to mind. Compared with these acting students with professional backgrounds, I didn't know who to choose for a while.

"Director Fang, neither of these two are suitable? I think both of them are suitable." Zhang Yigao asked.

"No, after the audition that day, I met a female student at the door. I thought her image was unexpectedly suitable. Her innocent eyes were easy to remember," Fang Xing said.

"Is there an audition video?" Zhang Yigao was confused and started to flip through the resume in front of him.

"No video was recorded." Fang Xing shook his head.

"Does Director Fang want to use that female student?" Zhang Yigao asked.

"I'm not sure yet, but I can come here and audition again to see if I have any potential." After thinking about it, Fang Xing decided to give it a try.

Although they are not from a major, these newcomers are all current students, and their acting skills are just like that.

It's also because they are playing middle school students, so they are acting in their true colors, and the requirements for acting skills are actually not that high.

Fang Xing pulled out the A4 paper with contact information written on it, handed it to the casting director, and said, "Inform her to come over and audition again."

The casting director didn't waste any time, took out his cell phone and called.

After asking a few questions, the casting director put down his phone and said with a surprised look on his face: "I asked her to come over now, and she asked us if we would reimburse the travel expenses."

"Reimbursement of travel expenses?" Fang Xing also showed a puzzled expression.

Taking a taxi from Donghai Normal University costs about thirty or forty yuan.

"She said that she and her classmates went to Yuehu to participate in an event. There is no shuttle bus back here, and a taxi costs two to three hundred yuan," the casting director explained.

Two to three hundred yuan may not seem like much, but for students, it is not necessarily that much.

For students who usually work-study, two to three hundred yuan is almost half a month's food expenses.

"For reimbursement, just add her WeChat account and transfer it to her." Fang Xing confirmed.

After that was done, everyone continued to discuss casting matters.

About fifty minutes later, a female student came in at the front desk.

"Hello, director." As soon as An Xiaoran entered the door, she quickly bowed and said hello.

Fang Xing stood up and said, "Come here."

Then take her to the rehearsal room next door.

"Call the acting teacher over and try to see if it works." Fang Xing and the assistant director spoke quietly.

It didn't take long.

The acting teacher comes in.

Fang Xing introduced: "This is the acting teacher hired by the company, Hao Yilei."

Hao Yilei is an acting teacher hired by Ark Culture from the film school. When filming new dramas, sometimes the acting teacher needs to teach her some acting experience.

Hao Yilei is not only an acting teacher, but has also filmed many TV series and can handle all types of female characters.

"Hello, teacher." An Xiaoran quickly bowed to say hello.

"Hello." Hao Yilei looked at the girl and then talked quietly with Fang Xing.

Fang Xing said: "Her image fits the role of the new drama, but she is not from a major, so I asked you to give her a test to see if she can do it."

"What do you want to play?" Hao Yilei nodded and asked directly about the script.

"Try a crying scene."

Fang Xing said, narrating a scene: "Now, you are a middle school student who is being bullied by your classmates. You are hiding from the bullies in school, and you are even ready to drop out of school.

"However, the bully couldn't find you at school, so he ran to your house and smashed the piggy bank you had saved for many years.

"The change you have saved for several years is not even as much as the bully spent on a meal.

"They pick up rolls of change from the broken piggy bank and laugh at you wantonly.

"Just play this part, you can cry."

An Xiaoran was a little confused. She had never studied acting and didn't know how to start, and there was no piggy bank around.

Hao Yilei saw that the girl was a piece of blank paper and said, "Look at my hands."

She held a non-existent piggy bank in both hands, raised it and smashed it on the ground: "Bang! The piggy bank broke, act!"

An Xiaoran opened her eyes and looked at the floor with a wronged expression. She wanted to cry but couldn't.

Hao Yilei was a little anxious when she saw her performance, and guided her from the side: "It doesn't matter if the tears don't come out, but you have to express your grievances and anger."

An Xiaoran tried hard to act, but it still didn't fit the situation.

After trying a few times.

Hao Yilei put her hands on her hips, thought for a moment, and asked, "Can I hit you?"

"ah?"

An Xiaoran was stunned immediately and didn't understand what it meant.

"Is that okay?" Hao Yilei asked again.

An Xiaoran nodded without knowing why.

Then, Hao Yilei raised her hand and slapped her.

The force was not too heavy, but it made a sound.
