Chapter 149: The Contenders

Thinking about it carefully, after An Ning was reborn, she was able to play the heroine so quickly, and a large part of it relied on Huo Ziqiu's relationship. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Although she often wonders why Huo Ziqiu chose herself among many newcomers, there is no doubt about this kindness.

Not to mention that Huo Ziqiu is still her boss now, how dare An Ning give the "unknown object" she made to the boss to eat?

"I think it's better to forget it, and I'll be ugly after a while." An Ning quietly moved the dishes on the table to Meng Anping's side: "If you haven't eaten yet, I invite you to go to the restaurant, there are several restaurants near my house that are good." ā€

"Don't waste time, I'll just take two bites and leave." Huo Ziqiu was completely unmoved, and turned his head to ask Meng Anping to bring him a set of utensils, "Don't worry, I don't dislike you for making it unpalatable." ā€

The corners of An Ning's eyes twitched, and she wisely changed the topic: "You won't be here to eat today, right?" ā€

"I got the news today that the audition time for Dong Yan's side has been set. Originally, Shen Ping was going to inform you, but I happened to be passing by, so I helped him bring you a message. Huo Ziqiu took the chopsticks handed over by Meng Anping, and picked up the dishes for himself in a hurry.

"Really? Which day? Did you reveal the auditions? An Ning couldn't care about stopping Huo Ziqiu's hand anymore, and asked several times in a row.

Huo Ziqiu swallowed the food in his mouth with difficulty, and his thick eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Anping, pour me another glass of water." ā€

As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Anping intimately handed over a glass of lukewarm water with just the right temperature, with an expression of "I understand you" on his face.

An Ning laughed dryly: "I said it all, don't try the unknown easily, you don't listen to ......"

"Next time you eat it, I hope your craft will improve by leaps and bounds." Huo Ziqiu drank a whole glass of water, and finally returned to his state of unchanged face: "I don't know the content of the audition, Director Dong interviewed in person, and the content was also temporarily set by him." However, I think at your level, it shouldn't be a big problem. Those who participated in the audition this time, as far as I know, are Yinghui's first sister Zhou Ling and last year's new actress Zhong Yi. Zhou Ling has always developed in the TV industry, and he does not show his face many times in movies. Zhong Yi, although she won last year's actress, her acting style is more patterned, and her expressiveness is weaker than yours. As long as you play normally, these two people don't pose much of a threat to you. ā€

"Are these two the only ones?"

Huo Ziqiu smiled: "Of course it's more than that, but Director Dong has done too well in keeping it secret, and I don't know who the rest of the people are." Again, I believe in your strength. He paused, and finally looked directly into An Ning's eyes: "As for the specific time of the audition...... July 12 at 2 p.m. ā€

"July 12th?" An Ning was stunned.

July 12 was the day she died in the explosion last year, and it turned out that before you knew it, a year had passed.

"What? Is there a problem? If you feel that there is a problem, I can coordinate with Director Dong and help you rearrange a time. Probably seeing that she had been silent for too long, Huo Ziqiu spoke meaningfully.

"No, no problem." An Ning quickly came to her senses, "Don't worry, I'll be there on time." ā€

Huo Ziqiu looked at her deeply. On July 12th, of course, he knew what it was, and it was precisely because he knew that the audition was scheduled for this day that he decided to come over in person.

Dong Yan is a director with a great sense of time, and he is most disgusted with unpunctual actors. Huo Ziqiuyuan thought that if An Ning couldn't accept this audition time, he would have to visit Dong Yan again and beg him to make an exception......

"I know that Director Dong attaches the most importance to time and will never be late." An Ning seemed to see his thoughts clearly, and smiled: "I will behave well." ā€

Huo Ziqiu secretly sighed and nodded: "I'll pick you up that day." ā€

——

After receiving the news of the audition, An Ning seemed to have been given a shot of strength and quickly entered a state of preparation for the exam.

She turned out all the movies directed by Dong Yan at home and watched them again, although she had seen them before, but this time she studied Dong Yan's shooting techniques and styles more carefully, and also carefully analyzed the scenes of the protagonists of each movie.

Dong Yan is a director who is good at directing men's dramas, and he is even better at expressing his thoughts on different events through movies. It is precisely because of his ability to strike a balance between personal style and business characteristics that he has always been sought after by the public.

Of all his films, only one of his films, "Flowers of the Sea", is narrated from the perspective of the heroine, and the whole film is filled with the sadness of the sixties of the last century. Could it be that this time, his new play will also be dominated by tragedy?

A month passed quickly, and after more than 30 days of training, Meng Anping was finally able to finish the dishes cooked by Anning without drinking water. And An Ning finally adjusted his mood. She was afraid that she would be affected by the original death, so she didn't go online for half a month, for fear of seeing something mourning her Weibo.

At noon on the 12th day of the seventh month, Mencius Qiu appeared in front of An Ning's house on time.

"Are you ready?"

An Ning nodded, "Well, let's go." ā€

Huo Ziqiu didn't drive the cars he usually used, and changed to a low-key black Land Rover.

"I heard Shen Ping say that you have been a little busy lately, in fact, you don't need to send me off, Shen Ping will come to pick me up."

This is not a polite remark, she heard Shen Ping say that Huo Ziqiu's contract with Fengyun was about to expire, and in order to keep him, Fengyun's senior management offered very generous conditions, but Huo Ziqiu was unmoved and insisted on leaving.

"In fact, Fengyun has always been good to you, and they have a lot of resources in their hands, which is still very beneficial for you to continue to develop in the film industry in the future." When waiting for the traffic light, An Ning finally couldn't help but ask, "The resistance to flying alone is very great, and you don't think about it anymore?" ā€

Huo Ziqiu glanced at her: "You have so many things to worry about, it seems that today's audition is already in your chest?" ā€

"Where, where, in fact, my heart is full of apprehension." An Ning looked ahead, looking humbly taught.

"Hefengyun's matter, I'll tell you when I solve it, don't worry," the green light turned on, the car slowly slid out, Huo Ziqiu mentioned lightly, "Don't worry, I won't collapse without Fengyun, otherwise how will I support you and the studio in the future?" ā€

Dong Yanxuan's interview location was in his own company, Huo Ziqiu drove the car nearby, "I can only send you here." ā€

An Ning nodded in understanding, and it was certainly best to be cautious. She also doesn't want to be crowned as a "backstage" because she is an artist signed by Huo Ziqiu. If today's audition passes, she hopes that the media will affirm her strength when reporting it.

"I'm leaving, Shen Ping will come to pick me up when it's over, you go and deal with your own affairs."

"An Ning," Huo Ziqiu called An Ning, who had already stepped out of the car door with one foot, "Relax and play hard, even if you don't pass, it doesn't matter, anyway, with me, you don't have to worry about not having a protagonist to play." ā€

——

Dong Yan's company is not large, but it is a two-story building with an excellent geographical location and quiet in the middle of the noise.

An Ning was fortunate to come once in her previous life, when she had just entered Yinghui not long ago, and she was still an unknown little transparent. The high-level casually picked a sister Zhou Ling to audition for Yinghui's first sister among the newcomers, and happened to pick An Ning. She was trembling at that time to play Zhou Ling, but she didn't expect to be interrupted by Dong Yan with a disgusted look before she finished acting: "I took off my heavy makeup before I auditioned next time, and I can't see any expression on my face, I don't need such a face in my lens." ā€

Although Zhou Ling didn't get the role at that time, thanks to her, An Ning and Dong Yan had their first meeting......

"Are you...... Meng Anning? While she was immersed in the intermittent memories of the past, a gentle female voice came from behind her.

When she looked back, she was indeed Zhou Ling, the most skilled artist under Yinghui, who was the "first sister of Yinghui" in the mouths of the people who ate melons.

"You know me?" An Ning was a little surprised, after all, she had just debuted less than a year ago, and she didn't have any masterpieces, let alone any intersection with Zhou Ling, but she could call her name at the first moment......

Zhou Ling smiled slightly, as if the breeze of early spring was blowing, making people feel extremely comfortable and comfortable: "Of course, how can we be considered competitors today, how can I not even know what your name is?" That's too much to take today's audition to heart. Saying that, he stretched out his right hand: "My name is Zhou Ling, I am an artist of Yinghui, and I am also here to participate in Director Dong's audition today." ā€

Between two or three sentences, he has explained everything clearly without humility or arrogance, even in the face of a little transparent person like Meng Anning, Zhou Ling's attitude is always gentle, and people can't find any mistakes. is different from An Ning's previous life, which is not fighting or grabbing gentleness, Zhou Ling is very good at using his advantages, relying on his spring-like personality, he has made countless friends in the circle, gained a large number of true love fans, and also sat firmly in his position in Yinghui.

An Ning still remembers that after being interrupted by Dong Yan and severely reprimanded, Zhou Ling not only did not have any dissatisfaction, but bowed to Dong Yan and thanked him, saying that he made himself understand the deeper connotation of acting, this time Dong Yan looked down on herself, but one day, she would definitely show Dong Yan her better performance.

In such an embarrassing atmosphere, Zhou Ling still finished his words with a smile. This alone is enough to make An Ning admire.

Sure enough, although Zhou Ling didn't get that role, she also left a good impression on Dong Yan, otherwise she wouldn't have auditioned again this time.

An Ning stretched out his hand and shook her gently: "My name is Meng Anning, and I am still a newcomer, I hope you will give me more advice." ā€

"I can't talk about advice, I've been acting in more TV series, and I have less experience in movies than you," Zhou Ling and An Ning walked in the door side by side, and whispered to her: "You also know that the way TV series and movies are performed is more or less different." To be honest, I also tried the play with Director Dong and was PASSED, and I still have a bit of a psychological shadow. ā€œ

While the two were talking, the front desk on the first floor greeted them: "Miss Zhou Ling and ...... Miss Meng Anning? The two of you are here for the audition. I'll take you to the preparation room on the second floor. ā€

Zhou Ling was a little sorry: "I'm sorry, my agent helped me buy something just now, and I want to wait for him to come back and go up together." Then he turned to An Ning and said, "Why don't you go up and prepare first, don't be delayed by me." ā€

Zhou Ling's agent Li Yue followed her as soon as she debuted, and her business ability is not as good as Wang Donglei and Shen Ping, and she is a very self-conscious and cautious person. She accompanied Zhou Ling all the way from a nameless little flower to become the first sister of Yinghui, and her feelings were very deep, at least in the eyes of onlookers.

An Ning didn't want to stay and be embarrassed, so she said "see you back" and followed the girl at the front desk upstairs.

The audition was set at one point, but everyone obviously knew that Dong Yan was a person with a strong sense of time, and no one dared to really pinch it, so they all arrived thirty or forty minutes early.

When An Ning walked into the preparation room, there were already two actresses sitting inside. One of them looked familiar, it was Zhong Yi, a new generation of domestic actresses who just won the actress crown last year, while the other was sitting in the corner silently playing with her mobile phone, and she could only see one side, and An Ning didn't remember who it was for a while.

Here in Dong Yan, whether it is a newcomer or a actress, the treatment is the same. For example, now, Zhong Yi, An Ning and the unknown actress are all sitting in an ordinary room with snow-white walls waiting for the director's interview.

"I wonder what the theme of today's jam show is?" Zhong Yi is not very old, only 26 years old this year. There are not many actors who can win the Best Actress at this age, so she is particularly precious in the circle.

Zhong Yi was originally an artist under Fengyun, and she is still Huo Ziqiu's younger sister. In the past few years, I have been sitting on the cold bench, acting in some urban life dramas or small-budget movies, which are tepid. Until two years ago, director Kang Biyong, a grandmaster in the literary and film industry, selected her to play the heroine of the new film, and she became famous and won the queen. Then he decisively tore up with Fengyun and jumped to Fengyun's opponent Baiyi Entertainment, and became the object of Baiyi's support.

After she finished asking, her eyes swirled back and forth between An Ning and the other girl, as if she wanted to hear their thoughts.

An Ning said calmly: "I don't have a clue at all, I just heard that Director Dong is going to make a female-dominated movie this time, but what the script is, I haven't revealed anything about it." ā€

Zhong Yi nodded: "I only know so much, but the auditions of big directors rarely require improvisation, and most of them will give the script." I'm very worried, what if the theme given by the director is not good at it? ā€

She said it softly, as if muttering to herself. An Ning turned her head to look at the girl sitting in the corner, she was still playing with her mobile phone unmoved, as if she hadn't heard Zhong Yi's words at all, and she didn't mean to introduce herself at all.
