Chapter 325: Filming a New Drama
As Ji Ran expected, as soon as the news that Director Qiu was going to shoot a new drama came out, the scene on the day of the audition was so popular that it almost made people think that it was an award ceremony party.
A bunch of famous star actors gather here, including many first-line and second-tier veteran actors, and there are even more admirers like Ji Ran.
Ji Ran held the script in his hand, watched the crowd in front of him surging like a tide, and found a corner to stand by himself, not patrolling the entire hall like others, and leaning up when he saw someone familiar.
But even so, there is still no shortage of people who recognize her.
Today's Ji Ran is no longer the nameless little transparent in the circle in the past, as we all know, she is the future hostess of the Gu Group, Gu Suiyun has a strong backing background, and she also has a good work, recently because of the controversy over the champion of "The King of Crossover Singers", her topic on Weibo hot search has not dropped.
So even if Ji Ran was standing in the corner in a very low-key manner, someone still came over to talk to her enthusiastically.
"Ah, it's Sister Xiao Ran, are you also coming to audition? You're so powerful, you must be the heroine!"
The person in front of her, Ji Ran was not familiar, but it did not prevent her from understanding the tentative meaning in the other party's words.
She shook her head: "Director Qiu's heroine is not someone who says she can be it, I just came here to try my luck, Director Qiu's works are always good, even if it is only a supporting role, it is enough to hone my acting skills." β
Seeing that she was so modest, there was no pride in her demeanor, the other party half-believed the compliments, and Ji Ran's attitude was always detached and polite, although the other party was unwilling, he didn't stick to it, and turned around and chatted with the others.
Ji Ran has never been very communicative with people hypocritically, and she can't learn Luo Yuxi's eight-sided exquisiteness in the face of everyone, so no one took the initiative to come to her, but she felt relieved.
The roots of her ears are clear, even if there is still noise around her, Ji Ran still tries her best to calm down and flip through the script, even if the time is short, she still wants to figure out the character characteristics of the characters in the play more deeply.
However, before he could read two lines, he heard a familiar voice call his name: "Hey, Ji Ran, you're here too!"
Ji Ran looked up and saw Zheng Min walking towards him with a smile.
Zheng Min also performed quite well in the finals of "The King of Crossover Singers", ranking in the top five, so she has a bit of popularity.
is like Director Qiu's movie, if it were according to the past, Zheng Min wouldn't even have the opportunity to appear in the interview mirror, but now she has the ability to beat the newcomers in the company to be recommended over, even if she may not get the role in the end, but it is better than not having any chance.
Ji Ran has worked with her, and her impression is not bad, not to mention that the two of them have met a few times on the stage of "The King of Crossover Singers", and they can be regarded as old acquaintances.
She raised a slight smile: "Are you here to try your luck too?"
Hearing her say this, Zheng Min was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "It turns out that everyone is the same, I only heard that Director Qiu's drama was difficult before, but when I saw today's scene, I knew that what I said was true." β
"There are indeed a lot of people who come to audition, but I don't know who will be so lucky to be picked by Director Qiu. β
"What? aren't you even sure?"
Hearing the joking meaning in Zheng Min's tone, the smile on Ji Ran's face deepened: "I'm just a newcomer, how can I compare to this full of seniors!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Zheng Min's gaze fall on a certain place in the venue, and her expression seemed to be a little weird: "Eh, why do I seem to see Luo Yuxi's agent and Lu Jia?"
Luo Yuxi's agent and Luo Yuxi's boyfriend are both there, presumably Luo Yuxi also came to audition.
Ji Ran's gaze followed Zheng Min, who were talking to Director Qiu's assistant Luo Meijun and Lu Jia, but Luo Yuxi was nowhere to be seen.
Until the two of them were about to leave, Luo Yuxi never appeared.
Zheng Min was still guessing that Luo Yuxi came to audition, and what were his chances of passing the audition, but Ji Ran suddenly remembered the gossip that Wang Can casually mentioned in his ear some time ago-
"I heard that Luo Yuxi took the initiative to find Sister Jun to sign Lu Jia in order to get along with Lu Jia day and night, and now both of them are in Shengluo Brokerage Company, and even the brokers are shared. β
Originally, she just heard this as a joke, but now when she sees the scene in front of her and thinks of these words, she has a feeling of peeping into the heavens.
Ji Ran has never been a gossip person, so when Luo Meijun and Lu Jia's figures disappeared, her attention quickly dispersed.
After a few words of greeting Zheng Min, her agent came over and saw Zheng Min and Ji Ran standing together chatting, and their words were quite enthusiastic, which made Ji Ran a little embarrassed.
Zheng Min quickly followed the agent and left, and Ji Ran's side returned to calm again.
β¦β¦
The audition process is very fast, although it is said that everyone has a three-minute opportunity to perform, but Qiu Daolai is strict and harsh, he feels very exaggerated when so many people come to audition, and when he sees those exaggerated acting skills, he almost leaves violently.
So if the acting skills are not qualified in Director Qiu, let alone three minutes, the thirty-second interpretation makes him feel spicy, and he directly drives people out.
When it was Ji Ran's turn, the number of people in the waiting area was already more than half of what they were before, and even none of the dozen or so auditioners in front of her came out in a calm mood, and almost all ran out with their heads bowed and wiped their tears.
Almost all the actors who are a little bit of a coffee are at the front of the audition, and those who haven't auditioned until now, except for Ji Ran, who doesn't rely on the company to find a relationship and just wants to pass the audition with his own ability, there is only a group of eighteenth lines who almost don't even have works.
Even Zheng Min, shortly after being called away by his agent, was able to enter the audition room in advance.
After all, she had never seen any big scenes, and she could already vaguely hear the whispering discussions of the little girls standing behind her.
"I heard that Director Qiu's audition is very strict, watching these young ladies in front of me crying and running out, I feel like I'm going to finish!"
"I really didn't expect so many people to come to the audition today, and I also saw a lot of A-list superstars coming, in front of them, we don't have any comparison at all, okay!"
"Anyway, I'm not hopeful, even if I go through the motions, I have to stay up until the audition is over! But I saw Luo Yuxi's agent and her boyfriend today, I don't know if the heroine will be won by her in the end. β
"Luo Yuxi, is she here too? I haven't even seen it!"
Listening to this group of little girls talking and talking about the topic and losing direction, Ji Ran pursed her lips and smiled, seeing a staff member coming out of the audition room, she adjusted her appearance, took a deep breath and prepared herself psychologically.
"Next audition, Ji Ran!"
"Here. β
Ji Ran walked over steadily, and raised the script in his hand at the other party to show his presence, and the other party glanced at her, and then opened the door to lead her in.
Unbeknownst to everyone, when her name sounded in the waiting area, the few small groups that were close all showed surprised expressions.
"Is that Ji Ran? Is that the Ji Ran I know? I didn't expect her to be so low-key!"
"Wow, isn't Ji Ran the female star who has been very popular recently? Her fiancΓ© is the president of Gu's Group, why is it her turn to audition now?
"It shouldn't be! I look at the back quite similarly, maybe I want to pass the audition with my own strength, that's why I'm so low-key!"
"Low-key, I really can't see where she is low-key, the hot search on Weibo has not gone down, and all kinds of show affection and hype with her fiancΓ©, where is this what low-key people will do!"
"Please, don't be sour, even if it's on the hot search, it's not that she has done anything bad, she has a good relationship with Mr. Gu, and it's normal to sprinkle sugar every day!
"We don't understand the world of the big guys, but we can guess whether Ji Ran will be full of spring breeze when he comes out after a while, or will he cry and chirp like the previous young ladies. β
"I'm proud of the spring breeze, now who in the circle doesn't know that Ji Ran's backer is the president of Gu's Group, and ordinary investors have to give him face, even if Ji Ran is low-key, a supporting role with a heavy role can't run. β
"Director Qiu is not comparable to ordinary people, and there are fewer people in the circle who don't buy it to save face? But the things he shoots are good, and the audience buys them and the theater is still hot, so I bet that the expression dyed in the season will not be too good. β
β¦β¦
As soon as Ji Ran entered the audition room, she saw an acquaintance, who was Zheng Yanyu, who had played with her in "Night Detective Collection", and he was sitting next to the legendary Director Qiu.
At a glance, Ji Ran can basically determine that Zheng Yanyu will play the leading role in Director Qiu's new movie, thinking of what he knew in the crew before, Ji Ran suddenly faded away from Director Qiu's new movie, and had a lot less expectations.
And Zheng Yanyu was also a little stunned the moment she saw Ji Ran, as if she didn't expect her to come in for an audition at the back of the line, but in an instant, he smiled and took the initiative to greet him: "Ji Ran, long time no see." β
Director Qiu, who was sitting next to him, heard Zheng Yanyu's polite voice, and subconsciously looked at Ji Ran, with a bit of inquiry in his eyes: "You knew each other before?"
Zheng Yanyu bowed: "My last play was with Ji Ran, and she is the heroine in the play." β
Director Qiu was surprised, and his expression became more and more relaxed: "So that's the case, then you start!"
If before seeing Zheng Yanyu, Ji Ran planned to try the heroine's play, but at this moment she suddenly changed her plan and showed a female villain in front of Director Qiu who had few scenes in the play and almost only appeared in the last ten minutes of the movie.
Her actions obviously made Director Qiu a little more interested in her.
