Chapter 16: Undercurrent

Zheng Wei and Huo Ziqiu walked into the audition room one after the other, and it was almost furnished, except for the staff, the three of them got together to talk and laugh. The room of forty or fifty square meters, with a long table on one side, is where the director and other interviewers sit; A green backdrop was pulled out on one side, with a camera in front of it.

The middle-aged man with a thin figure among the three people saw Zheng Wei first, and waved at him with a smile: "Director Zheng is here, come on, let me introduce you, these two are Boss Chen and Boss Wu, I heard me talk about your new movie, and I am very interested." I said that's just right, there is an audition today, why don't we take a look together, and if you are satisfied, you can add a little investment to Director Zheng. ”

Zheng Wei's face is a little unpleasant, his movies have always been independent films, although the box office is not good, but it is better to be free, and there are no investors mixed in it. And now, Yinghui has made it clear that he wants to insert a foot in this new movie, that Qiao Zitong, has such a big face?

"Director Zheng, isn't it an audition today? When I look at this posture, why does it look like I want to take makeup photos? Huo Ziqiu, who had been leaning against the wall since he entered the door, said slowly.

"Yo, Ziqiu is here too." Mr. Wang seemed to have just seen Huo Ziqiu, and said with a smile: "I heard that Dong Lei contacted Director Zheng before, but I don't believe it yet." I know the plays you play, they are all smart and brave characters, how can you care about a villain? Now it seems that this rumor is still true, haha. ”

Huo Ziqiu's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes became a little obscure: "As an actor, of course, I have to try different roles, nothing strange." Also, whether it's me or my agent, I don't have any friendship with Mr. Wang, so you should just call me Xiaohuo. He didn't speak loudly, but it immediately cooled the heated atmosphere in the room.

In fact, in the entertainment industry, there are not a few people who have never met but still pretend to be very enthusiastic, which is called "will come to things". Most of the time, everyone passed by tacitly, not to mention that this person who was close to him was still the senior management of Yinghui Entertainment. Even if Huo Ziqiu is an actor, it is too unwise to do so.

Zheng Wei looked at his watch and asked, "It's time, why haven't the people who participated in the audition have arrived yet?" ”

In fact, Qiao Zitong had already arrived and was waiting in the next room. Yinghui sent a makeup artist to put on her makeup, which had just been done at this time.

Qiao Zitong prepared a scene to celebrate the loss of a child, so he drew the makeup of a middle-aged woman who was haggard and vicissitudes. She originally had a delicate appearance, and it was just right to play the young festive, but it was not enough to show the simplicity of middle age. The makeup artist sprinkled a layer of powder on her face to make a yellowish complexion, and the tail of her eyebrows was swept down, looking a little old.

"It's ugly." Qiao Zitong took a small makeup mirror left and right, pouting, and looked unhappy.

"There's no way around it, you don't wear makeup, and your acting skills are convincing?" Zhou Yun said on the side: "Although Mr. Wang also came over today, this matter is not certain. Zheng Wei didn't know where he found a newcomer, and he was called over for an audition today. ”

Qiao Zitong said disdainfully: "Zheng Wei's film is neither popular nor popular, I really don't know what you think, you insist on helping me take this kind of movie that has no market." ”

"You know what? This time the script is very good, and Zheng Wei is good at making movies with a tragic tone, I think he is very likely to turn over this time. If you don't take advantage of the current hitchhiker, he will become a card player in the future, do you think you can still hug someone's thigh?! ”

Qiao Zitong disagreed: "Even if your prediction is right, I don't believe that Zheng Wei will choose me to choose that little-known little person, you must know that my popularity is not low." ”

Zhou Yun said with a calm face: "What popularity do you have?" Most of them are the CP fans attracted when he had an affair with Qiao Baikuang before. When the time comes, as soon as the truth is revealed, it will be a matter of minutes for them to turn their faces. The more she spoke, the more angry she became: "You have also debuted for three or four years, why are you still so impetuous and frivolous, it is strange that you can become a big thing if you continue like this." If you were half calm and calm, how much less worry would I have. ”

Qiao Zitong threw the makeup mirror on the table: "Calm? She has been calm for so many years, and she is not a trickster, and she has never played a heroine in her life. If I were like her, this life would be useless. She raised her head as she said and glanced at Zhou Yun with a smile: "Sister Yun, don't pretend to miss peace very much, you don't necessarily have a lot of sincerity for her." ”

"You ......"

A knock on the door interrupted the conversation, and then the door creaked open, and a somewhat childish boy stood in the doorway with a sick young girl in his arms.

"Hello, I'm here for the audition, and the staff asked me to come here and wait." An Ning said.

Zhou Yun raised one eyebrow, and looked at An Ning with some vigilance: "You are the newcomer that Director Zheng has taken a fancy to?" ”

"You know her?" Qiao Zitong asked.

Zhou Yun nodded: "I saw it at An Ning's funeral." I thought I was a fan of An Ning, but I didn't expect to be an actor too. ”

Qiao Zitong stood up, walked to An Ning's side, smiled kindly and friendly, and stretched out his right hand: "Hello, I'm Qiao Zitong, and I'm here to audition." ”

"Hello." An Ning stretched out his hand and shook it weakly, but when he wanted to withdraw his hand, he was held tightly by Qiao Zitong and did not let go.

She leaned close to An Ning's ear and whispered: "Seeing that you are a newcomer, I kindly remind you that today's audition is just a formality, and the heroine has already been decided, it is me." If you are a smart man, turn around and go home now, lest you be embarrassed later, and maybe I will introduce you to other plays when I have the opportunity in the future. ”

These words are simply the lines of a textbook-like standard vicious female supporting actress, if Qiao Zitong had half of his current acting skills when he was acting, he would have become an acting school long ago. An Ning was dizzy and powerless to refute, so she had to smile weakly at Qiao Zitong: "I'm sorry, I'm a little uncomfortable today, dizzy." What did you just say? I didn't hear you too clearly, can I please tell you that again? Say it louder. ”

Seeing that Qiao Zitong's yellow powder face became a little hideous, An Ning motioned to Meng Anping to help him to sit down on the sofa, and shook his head in his heart: The psychological quality is too poor, and he obviously didn't say anything.

Meng Anping carried An Ning's bag and asked her nervously, "Sister, how do you feel?" Do you want to read the script for a while? ”

An Ning closed her eyes and shook her head, the script was already in her head.
