941. Familiar strangers
Because of the missed opportunity before, Li Feifei was particularly sensitive to the word 'opportunity', and during this period, in addition to studying the script and characters, the most she read was to read some books on how to seize the opportunity.
For example, "Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared", and there are also "365 Ways to Seize Opportunities" and so on.
So for this audition, Li Feifei arrived at Huayi Company two hours earlier than the agreed time for the audition, because after reading those books, she knew in her heart that it was the most stupid to miss the opportunity because she was late.
It's just that because she came too early, the audition scene has not yet been prepared, and even none of the actors competing with her for this role have yet arrived.
No way, after consulting the staff at the door, the other party suggested that she could leave a contact information first, and then go to the leisure area on the sixth floor to watch TV and wait, and then the staff would notify her when the audition was ready.
In the recreation area on the sixth floor of Huayi, Li Feifei also walked in for the first time, and the whole person was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and she was very surprised to see everything.
However, her psychology is normal, many people will have a similar mentality when they first come here, after all, in Huaxia, this combination of entertainment and leisure and office mode is still very rare, and most companies are still traditional office mode.
Just when Li Feifei was looking around curiously, she suddenly saw a girl who was very beautiful and fashionably dressed looking at her blankly, and suddenly subconsciously thought that this female artist was also coming to audition, and immediately smiled at her friendly.
His smile also made the girl opposite seem to come back to his senses, but the other party seemed to be a little introverted, and he looked a little nervous in response to his smile.
Li Feifei didn't think much about it, let alone go over to talk, after all, she was about to become a competitor in a while, so why bother having more right and wrong at this time.
Watching Li Feifei leave, AB breathed a long sigh of relief.
At this time, she remembered that the other party should not know what she looked like.
However, AB knows Li Feifei, she peeked at Huang Xiaoming's mobile phone several times, and found this photo of Li Feifei, plus the content of their text messages also made AB more concerned, so she was naturally impressed by Li Feifei.
But what is the other party coming to Huayi for?
With such doubts, AB texted Huang Xiaoming and got up and walked towards the elevator.
Huang Xiaoming did not enter the company, but has been waiting for AB in the car, and after receiving AB's text message, he replied to the text message as soon as possible, telling AB where the car was parked.
About five minutes later, AB walked into Huang Xiaoming's sight with a small schoolbag on his back, and when the latter saw the visitor, he quickly opened the car door and waved to his girlfriend with a smile.
"Huayi and I have already signed the contract, uncle, we will be colleagues in the future. Sitting in the car, AB patted Huang Xiaoming's shoulder with a bright smile like a buddy, and such an important thing came out of her mouth, as if it was as insignificant as buying a candy.
But Huang Xiaoming was taken aback by AB's words.
"Really signed, why did you sign it so quickly, did you read the contract carefully?" Huang Xiaoming asked anxiously.
"Hehe, I think the treatment is very good, I'll sign it, besides, you Nie Zong shouldn't lie to me as a little model, right?" AB responded a little embarrassed, she wanted to take a serious look at the contract, but unfortunately she couldn't understand it, and now that she thinks about it, it seems a little impulsive, but she thinks that this treatment is really good.
Huang Xiaoming didn't answer, just took AB's contract, and then looked at it carefully.
He is obviously much more serious than AB, and he has also run a lot of side businesses over the years, many of which need to be read by him personally, so he naturally understands more than AB.
About twenty minutes later, Huang Xiaoming put down the contract and breathed a sigh of relief.
"This time you are lucky, next time you sign a contract so so-so, you are really sold and you still help others count the money. ”
"Isn't this Huayi, I just thought that even if they don't look down on me, but looking at your face, they won't pit me, and you Nie are very caring, and told me all the treatment issues, I felt really good after hearing it, so I was a little impulsive and signed it directly. AB explained coquettishly.
Huang Xiaoming smiled, feeling that AB was right, not mentioning that Huayi is a regular company, it is impossible to pit her as a small model, just for the sake of his own face, at least he will not set any traps for AB in the brokerage contract.
And this contract is indeed as AB said, the treatment is very good, especially the guarantee that there are works and important roles every year, and many second-tier actors may not be able to get this kind of guarantee contract.
With a faint look of pride, Huang Xiaoming returned the contract to AB, told her to put it away, and then asked her what she wanted to eat at night.
After all, AB successfully joined Huayi, which is a very celebratory thing for him.
It's just that AB is not an artist of Huayi now, and this contract has no legal effect for the time being, because AB and her modeling agency only have a contract, and she has to fulfill the contract for at least three years before she can be liberated from the modeling company and regain her freedom.
Of course, neither Huayi nor AB will wait like this, Nie Wei has already given a promise, AB believes that Huayi will soon negotiate his own contract with his current agency, whether it is to pay liquidated damages, or other methods, as long as the contract between himself and the modeling company is terminated, then the contract in his hand will naturally take effect.
At that time, Huayi will hold another press conference, and AB will officially become an artist of Huayi.
"Let's eat at home, we order takeout, I want to order both Chinese and Western food. AB heard Huang Xiaoming ask what he was eating, hesitated for a moment, and then replied with a smile.
Huang Xiaoming was relieved when he heard AB's answer, in fact, he regretted it after he asked just now, as a big star, if he went to eat in public, in case he was photographed by media reporters, he would be a little unclear.
And Huang Xiaoming, who has been annoyed by emotional matters recently, really doesn't want to cause trouble, after all, this time there was such a big trouble, and the relationship between him and Nie Wei almost changed because of this, Huang Xiaoming is really a little afraid of this kind of trouble.
Now hearing AB's answer, it can be said that it is the answer that is most in line with his heart, which makes her very touched by the girl's thoughtfulness, he knows very well that AB must have considered his own situation before saying that he would order takeout at home.
Such a caring girlfriend is really hard to find with a lantern, and she is so much younger than herself next year, but she is still so sensible, thinking of this, Huang Xiaoming couldn't help but hold AB tightly in his arms.
"That's right, today I want to take you to your new home, after all, you are going to live in Kyoto in the future, and I have already prepared for you to have a decent home. Huang Xiaoming hugged AB and said.
"New home, really?" AB straightened up and looked at Huang Xiaoming with a surprised gaze, and asked again without confirmation.
Huang Xiaoming nodded, and said with a smile: "It's not far from my home, and the company is also very close, let's take a look today, if you are not satisfied with the decoration, or need to add something, tell me, I will help you during your return to Hong Kong, and when you come to Kyoto again, you can live there directly." ”
"Husband, I love you. AB cheered and threw himself back into Huang Xiaoming's arms, making Huang Xiaoming laugh.
What he likes the most is AB's adoring gaze at her, every time he sees it, it will give him a special sense of accomplishment, compared to Li Feifei, a woman who never looks at herself like this.
And from beginning to end, AB did not mention to Huang Xiaoming that he saw Li Feifei in Huayi Company.
At this time, AB had already figured out that the biggest possibility for Li Feifei to go to Huayi was to get the role that originally belonged to her, of course, AB didn't feel jealous, now she is a quasi-Huayi artist, and she has also been assured by Nie Wei, will a good role be far away in the future?
So a gain or loss is no longer important to her, and if she is too entangled, she seems to be too stingy.
On the other side, Li Feifei had already walked into the audition room, facing the camera, and did her best to show her grasp of the role during this time to several audition teachers, especially Nie Wei who was sitting there.
She at least wants to prove to Nie Wei that this role can be won by herself with her strength.
It's a pity that Li Feifei was a little disappointed, until she completed the audition, several teachers didn't give her results, just told her to go back and wait for news.
Although Li Feifei was the first to come, she was indeed the last to audition, and after she left, Nie Wei and others also began to discuss the candidates for several roles in today's audition, especially Xiaoqi, one of the heroines who was unexpectedly vacated, and there are many actresses to compete.
"This Li Feifei's grasp of the role is obviously better than that of other auditioning actors. Director Chen Yongkang was the first to look at it, but when he said this, he quietly glanced at Nie Wei, who was reading the information.
He clearly remembered that this Li Feifei should be the actress recommended by Nie Wei before, but he didn't know why, this actress seemed to have a sick brain, first rejected Nie Wei's recommendation, and then came to audition, does this show a sense of existence?
Of course, although Chen Yongkang has a deep opinion about this Li Feifei in his heart, he will not show it, and even help her say good things, after all, this is the person Nie Wei likes.
"I also think she is the best among several actresses, the only weakness is that she is not very famous, and she looks a little weak in the lineup of this movie. Another interviewer, Xia Guohui, also focused on Li Feifei.
However, compared with Chen Yongkang's pure sycophancy, there is still a temptation in his words.
If Nie Wei still wants to use Li Feifei's words after listening to his words, he will not refuse, but as long as Nie Wei hesitates, then he will try to persuade him to change the actress.
That Li Feifei's performance just now was good in his eyes, but it was not to the point where Xia Guohui felt that she had to do it, and depending on the other party's familiarity with the role, it was obvious that he had read the script in advance.
In Xia Guohui's opinion, if you can change to a more famous actress, or a more beautiful actress, it will be better than Li Feifei, an actress who is not stunning and not famous.
"What's the meaning of being a well-known actor, we just want to show more fresh faces to the audience. After listening to the suggestions of the two main creators, Nie Wei pondered for a moment and said with a smile.
After Nie Wei's words were put down, Chen Yongkang and Xia Guohui suddenly understood in their hearts that this role already belonged to Li Feifei.
"What a lucky woman. Chen Yongkang muttered in his heart, and then said to Nie Wei with a smile: "What Mr. Nie said is so right, we need some fresh faces in the film industry." ”
"It's my suggestion that is abrupt, and I thought about it, having big names such as Xie Tingfeng, Liu Tingying, and Zhang Xueyou is enough to have box office appeal, and the appearance of a fresh face will bring freshness to the audience, or Mr. Nie, your idea is more mature. Xia Guohui also immediately changed his tone, and echoed Nie Wei's speech.
Nie Wei smiled and nodded, and the next few roles were all decided by these two people, and he didn't make any further suggestions, which also made the other two breathe a sigh of relief.
As for Li Feifei, after getting into the car of agent Wang Ru, she was grabbed by Wang Ru and questioned for a long time, including the reactions of several interviewers during the audition, as well as Nie Wei's reactions, and whether her performance was wrong.
In this regard, Li Feifei answered patiently, and she also knew that for this role, Wang Ru had already broken her heart for her.
"What does Nie Wei mean by this, I really don't want to give you this role?" When Li Feifei said that Nie didn't comment on the only word, Wang Ru's heart sank, and she couldn't help but guess uncomfortably.
"Sister, I have done my best, whether I can get the role or not, I am already very satisfied, at least this experience has made me feel that I have grown a lot. Li Feifei had to comfort her agent in turn at this time, which also made her feel like she couldn't cry or laugh, and it was she who should be worried.
"That's right, but it's better to get a role than to lose a role, this is a rare opportunity, to be able to act with Zhang Xueyou and Liu Wanying, not to mention the movie results, just filming with these big actors, you are studying next to you, it is a huge gain. Wang Ru had a look of gain and loss, and her mouth couldn't stop chattering.
But after chattering for a while, she suddenly felt that Li Feifei had not responded, and then she noticed that Li Feifei was also a little lost, and immediately knew that she had made a mistake.
"I'm sorry, Feifei, I shouldn't have said so much, you're right, do your best to obey the destiny of God, after this time, whether we get the role or not, we will only get better. ”
As soon as Wang Ru's voice fell, before Li Feifei could respond, she heard a text message prompt ring on Li Feifei's mobile phone.
Li Feifei took out her mobile phone and glanced at it first, and suddenly her whole body was refreshed, and the speed in her hand was twice as fast, and she quickly clicked on the text message.
