Chapter 42: There is still a chance
After a while, the draw ended, and she looked at the number in her hand and felt that it was okay to go up or down.
Looking at other people, some people looked happy, thinking that they had drawn a satisfactory ranking, and some people looked annoyed, estimating that the position was not good.
Qiao Mingxi understood and chuckled.
When the staff saw that everyone had finished drawing, they clapped their hands and said, "Since everyone has finished drawing, let's come in order, starting from the first place in five minutes, and then we will call the number and enter the room." ”
Qiao Mingxi's position was ninth, which was a middle position, which proved that her luck was not bad.
Hu Xiaowei came over again at this time, and when she saw the note in her hand, she suddenly complained: "Ah, I'm one in front of you, I also said that I wanted to see your ranking, but this wish couldn't be realized!" ”
"It doesn't matter, everyone does their best."
Compared with Hu Xiaowei, Qiao Mingxi has a good adaptability, anyway, Director Hua heard that it is difficult to do, and she doesn't have much idea, she can get by, and if she can't, she will pull it down.
But Hu Xiaowei looked much more nervous than her.
"That's right." Hu Xiaowei nodded, and suddenly said, "I saw Jiang Shishi's number just now, she is tenth, just behind you." ”
"Really?"
Qiao Mingxi smiled and didn't say anything more, she already felt it, Hu Xiaowei seemed to be very hostile to Jiang Shishi, so she pulled Jiang Shishi out to speak everywhere, did she want to make herself feel the same hatred?
She's not that kind, she's just a friend.
Hu Xiaowei probably understood that she saw her plan, so she didn't speak anymore.
Five minutes later, the audition officially began.
The girl who took the first place took a deep breath and walked in with her head held high.
Just when everyone thought they would have to wait for an hour and a half, they saw it for only a few minutes, and the girl came out with a pale face.
Everyone was stunned and whispered.
and those who were kind to her went up to ask about the situation, but she only shook her head, didn't say a word, packed up her things and left, without revealing anything.
As a result, everyone became nervous.
Qiao Mingxi saw it in his eyes, and thought to himself that it was really the same as Sister Li said, Director Hua was not easy to deal with.
The second place also came out quickly, followed by the third......
The speed was very fast, no one went in for no more than five minutes, and even one came out in two or three minutes.
Soon it was Hu Xiaowei, her face was also very nervous, she took a deep breath and walked in, but it took half a day to come out.
With a beaming face, she walked over to her agent, and the two quickly got together and whispered.
It seems that she has a play, otherwise she wouldn't have been delayed in it for so long.
Qiao Mingxi withdrew his gaze from her and puffed up his chest.
No matter what, just do your best, of course, it will be better for the director to look at himself differently.
Walking inside, she was stunned for a moment, only to see that there was an open space in the room, with an area of about seven or eight square meters, and a row of tables and chairs was placed opposite the door, and there were four people sitting, three men and one woman, but she didn't know anyone.
If Sister Li was present, she would be able to recognize them, these people are director Hua, producer, screenwriter, and another leading actor, that is, Si Jingzhou, the male protagonist who has been decided a long time ago, and I don't know why so many heavyweights will be dispatched on an occasion of selecting supporting roles.
Of course, Qiao Mingxi didn't know anything now, the only thing he felt was that someone was quite familiar, but he didn't remember who it was for a while.
Someone coughed, picked up the information and looked at it and asked, "Are you Qiao Mingxi?" ”
"Yes, I'm Qiao Mingxi, hello everyone."
The man who spoke was a little old, with a deep frown on his face, but his eyes were bright, and he could see that he was a very self-assertive person.
She guessed that the person was Director Hua.
He nodded, "Well, then you should know that we want to choose a female supporting character." ”
"Yes."
"Then may I ask why you came to this role?"
It's strange that Director Hua didn't immediately let her start acting, but asked her a question.
Qiao Mingxi felt a little strange, could it be that those people had also been asked such a question? But how short is their time?
Is this a different look at yourself?
She didn't dare to think so, and replied honestly: "Because I want to try acting, I heard that Director Hua's drama is very difficult, and I want to challenge myself." ”
She didn't know if what she said was right, because Director Hua didn't have any expression after listening to it, she just nodded: "Okay, this is the script, you turn to the third page, give you five minutes, and start acting after reading it." ”
"Yes."
She took the script with both hands, first took three minutes to read through the simple scene, and then closed her eyes and said nothing, as if in deep thought.
Several people present watched her performance, looked at each other, and whispered something.
But Director Hua still didn't speak, just looked at her.
She opened her eyes and said, "I can do it." ”
"Then you start."
Si Jingzhou opened his mouth at this time and played Qiao Mingxi, his voice was very pleasant, and it made people feel very comfortable to hear: "Who are you?" ”
"Who am I? I'm your wife! Qiao Mingxi spoke, unlike before, her voice was hoarse at this time, her expression was hideous, and she looked a little terrifying.
"You're not my wife, my wife is dead a long time ago!" Si Jingzhou said again.
"Zhang Chao who killed a thousand knives! You, Chen Shimei, will not recognize your wife if you catch a rich man! You conscienceless! Qiao Mingxi's expression was distorted, looking very angry, but his eyes were frighteningly bright, "Zhang Chao, I know that you are rich now, if you don't recognize me, I will tell you all the good things you have done, I want everyone to know what kind of person you Zhang Chao is!" I'm going to ......"
"That's it!" Director Hua suddenly spoke.
Qiao Mingxi's heart jumped and looked at him: "Director? ”
The director didn't look at her, lowered his head and said, "Turn to the sixth page, play the part where my daughter died." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at her in amazement.
Qiao Mingxi didn't dare to think about what he meant by this, and looked at the script again: "Okay." ”
She closed her eyes.
The era of this drama is actually not a modern drama, the timeline is in the last era, when the educated youth went to the mountains and went to the countryside, and later returned to the city after spending a few years in the countryside for various reasons, so the tragedy happened.
When they were in the countryside, they often couldn't resist the temptation to marry local women, but when they returned to the city, they refused to admit it, because there was no marriage certificate at that time, so their so-called marriage in the countryside actually had no legal effect.
Therefore, after the men returned to the city, they got married and started a new family, and they left behind the previous rural families.
This time, the male protagonist played by Si Jingzhou is also such a man, but although he didn't admit it at the beginning, his conscience later found out that he still gave a country woman a little money, but what was that enough, not to mention that their daughter was seriously ill later, and when she went back to the city to ask for money from a man, her daughter died, and she herself was hit by a car and died.
is a tragic figure through and through.
In the script, the female supporting role that Qiao Mingxi wanted was written as soft and weak, and she would not do anything except find money from the male lead, but Qiao Mingxi felt that it was not good.
She decided to perform with her own ideas, but she didn't expect to be stopped by the director before the performance was finished.
Now she doesn't know what the director means, so she can only play hard.
"Fei Fei, Fei Fei! Don't scare Mom! You talk, you talk! Qiao Mingxi sat on the ground, his eyes were empty, his tone was sad and earnest, and his eyes were red but there was not a single tear.
"Fei Fei, I know you're joking with your mother, you talk, your mother isn't angry, really, look at your mother, look at your mother's ......"
She looked panicked, her eyes were blurry but she didn't dare to reach out to wipe them, for fear that she would miss her daughter's opening of her eyes in the blink of an eye.
But no matter what she said or how she did it, Fei Fei never opened her eyes.
She lay on the ground for a long time without moving, and after a while, it seemed that someone had come to persuade her.
She snapped and sat up, looking fierce: "You get out, you get out!" Who said that my Fei Fei is dead, who said that my Fei Fei is gone! She's obviously fine, obviously well......"
Her voice was hoarse, and her figure was shaky, but she still stared at the person with a pair of red eyes, and said hoarsely: "She's still fine, still well, you all go, let me go!" ”
“OK。”
The director spoke up.
She immediately stood firm and glanced at the director: "Director......"
The director looked at her and asked, "How many plays have you acted in before?" ”
She was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment and replied: "Even this, three." ”
While suddenly handing over a tissue, she looked over, but saw the handsome man handing it over, and she was stunned for a moment before she found that her face was cold, and she was immediately embarrassed.
I was so into the drama just now, I really cried.
She thanked her and took the tissue to wipe her tears.
"You're welcome."
The director nodded, talked to the people around him again, and said, "Thank you for your performance, it's very good." ”
Qiao Mingxi's eyes widened, looking forward to the sentence he was waiting for, but the director said: "Go back and wait for the news first, we will notify you as soon as we have the result." ”
Her heart sank, and she smiled, "Okay." ”
When she came out, Jiang Shishi immediately walked in.
Sister Li greeted her: "How is it?" After asking, he paused, "Why are you crying?" ”
Her eyes were still red, and she shook her head and said, "I just played a crying scene." ”
"Really?" Sister Li's eyes lit up, "What did the director say?" ”
"He told me to go back and wait for news."
Qiao Mingxi sighed in his heart when he said this, it is the same as ordinary people looking for a job, generally speaking, when people say this, most of them mean that you are out of play, and what to say and other news is just a euphemistic refusal.
Sister Li's face sank when she heard this, and she forced a smile: "It doesn't matter, wait for me to call later, don't worry, as long as the final candidate doesn't show up, we still have a chance." ”
Qiao Mingxi smiled reluctantly: "I know." ”
But they all knew in their hearts that Sister Li was comforting her, but in fact, she had no chance.
