Chapter 5 Intentional Difficulties

The four of them lined up into the room, and An Ning consciously came last. As soon as she entered the room, she quickly glanced around, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw the casually dressed man in the corner with a little beard and a baseball cap.

It's Zheng Wei.

It seems that God is helping her too. An Ning quietly straightened her back and raised her chin slightly.

In front of the four of them were two long tables placed side by side, and three men were seated. The fat man sat there like a lump of fat, and the two eyes on his face were squeezed into two thin slits by the flesh, and he shot an unkind look towards An Ning.

An Ning involuntarily took a step back, not that she was frightened by Wen Deyi's gaze. But in her eleven years of acting career, she has never seen such a fat assistant director. Fat...... It's a bit scary.

"Zhang Shanshan, Bai Jun, Wang Liuliu, Meng Anning. Due to time constraints, the four of you will audition together, here's a little skit book, give you fifteen minutes to prepare. ”

Director...... It's not fair, the people in front of us have the opportunity to show their talents, why can't we? What's more, how can fifteen minutes be a skit released? One of the tall girls spoke dissatisfiedly, and the other girls also had expressions of approval on their faces.

"Are you Bai Jun?" Wen Deyi laughed and pointed to the door: "If you think it's unfair, the door is there, and now you can go out." ”

"I ......" Bai Jun bit her lip, but finally did not refute.

This little short play is really not long, it can be performed in five minutes, and the so-called script is just a few thin pieces of paper. There are exactly four characters in it, the eldest sister, the second sister, the younger sister, and the mother.

The eldest sister who just divorced and the pungent second sister quarreled fiercely, and the mother with a weak personality wanted to reconcile in the middle, but was rejected instead.

Although the time is short, the contradictions and conflicts in this scene are very intense, and the personalities of each character are shown: the eldest sister who is a little extreme because of the divorce; the second sister who has been competitive since she was a child; A weak and strong mother who raised three daughters alone.

For newcomers, this play is really a challenge, if nothing else, it is the lines, and it may not be memorized in fifteen minutes.

Wen Deyi looked at the four girls in front of him with a sad face, this small book was originally prepared for another play, and the people to be selected were insiders with at least two or three years of acting experience. Taking it out now, it is basically to embarrass these students who have not yet graduated, especially An Ning. He knocked on the table: "Let me assign the roles, eldest sister Zhang Shanshan, second sister Wang Liuliu, mother Bai Jun, and younger sister Meng Anning." Now you guys will cooperate, and in fifteen minutes the show will begin. ”

An Ning felt the slightly sympathetic gazes of the other three, and pursed the corners of his mouth, this Wen Deyi was really taking revenge on himself under the pretense of public help.

Because the little sister in this play is a mute!

From beginning to end, the little sister just made a few movements, "standing quietly to the side", "hiding behind her mother", and "grabbing the second sister's hand". Compared with the eldest sister, the second sister and the mother who have a lot of lines, the presence of the younger sister is too low. It can be said that this role is dispensable in this scene, even if the little sister is completely removed, it will not have any impact on the development of the plot.

Because Xiaomei has very little interaction with other people, when Zhang Shanshan, Bai Jun and Wang Liuliu get together to repeat their lines, An Ning is left alone. She was not in a hurry or annoyed, and quietly looked down at the script in her hand.

Wei Baishu looked sideways at Wen Deyi's face, feeling a little regretful. He also knows the situation of this school girl, her parents died early, she herself is not in good health, and she has a younger brother at home, and now she has offended Wen Deyi again, but I am afraid that she will not have a bright future in the entertainment industry in the future. He bothered to pave the way for her and introduce her to Wen Deyi, considering the situation of her family, he did not charge an introduction fee for the first time. Who knows, she turned out to be a person who doesn't know what to do......

What a pity, what a pity......

An Ning didn't care what the others were thinking, she studied the script with great concentration. In the eleven years of hard work in his previous life, An Ning practiced the unique skill of reciting lines with one hand. As long as it is a play she takes, she will not only memorize her own lines, but also memorize the lines of every character who has a rival role with her, so that she is familiar with it.

Today's role of this little sister may be a huge shackle for others, but in An Ning's view, if this role is played well, it will become the most brilliant highlight.

Fifteen minutes later, An Ning folded the pages in half and put them on the ground. She closed her eyes, the eldest sister's dissatisfaction, the second sister's roar, and her mother's persuasion were already intertwined. Each line is connected from end to end, forming a complete fragment that comes to An Ning's mind.

And she is a mute little girl who can't speak since she was a child.

"Your name is Meng Anning, right?" Bai Jun walked over and said a little embarrassed: "We didn't call you for the rehearsal, don't you mind, it's really the role of the little sister......

She didn't finish her words, but An Ning already understood what she meant, "It's really the role of a little sister, she doesn't need to move at all, she just stands there, and there is nothing to rehearse."

An Ning smiled at Bai Jun and shook his head slightly.

She shook her head not much, and the smile on her face was only faint, but for some reason, Bai Jun suddenly had the strange idea of "she is so understanding, she must not blame us", and then inexplicably felt at ease.

Until Wen Deyi asked them impatiently if they were ready, Bai Jun was still confused about what had just happened. This inconspicuous person, who has always been at the end of the line, how could she feel very close and familiar at that moment?

is also a little confused, as well as Zheng Wei, who has been nesting in the corner. He knew that this book was a bit difficult, but Wen Deyi used it to test these girls, but Zheng Wei didn't think there was anything wrong. A qualified actor, if he doesn't have a little ability to improvise, what else can he talk about acting?

He expected that these girls would be flustered, and the performance later would not be very exciting. It's just that the girl who was named to play the little sister in it was a little unexpected to him.

was assigned to the role with the least scenes, and she didn't seem to panic at all, nor did she have any dissatisfaction. And after putting down the script, her demeanor and posture became a little timid, and even smiling at another girl just now had a hint of flattery.

That's kind of interesting......

"Director, we're ready." Bai Jun spoke, and the four girls bowed to the interviewer, and then dispersed to prepare for the performance.
