Chapter 36: Auditions
If outsiders heard this, they might think that Cui Lingyun cared about me a lot.
Her mind is something that only I can know.
This short greeting was mixed with endless ridicule.
"Nope." I replied as naturally as I could.
Cui Lingyun showed a surprised expression, "The best thing for us to be artists is to only live in the public eye, and we can't leave the camera for too long." ”
Saying that, Cui Lingyun asked very "kindly", "Chi Chi, or let your agent communicate with my agent, if there is any good announcement, I can introduce you......
"No need." I politely interrupted, trying my best to hide the anger in my heart, "I don't think my agent is so useless. ”
After saying that, I lowered my head and smiled again, "Moreover, the lack of notice in the past few days is not because I can't find it." ”
I took a step closer and said, "There are so many things going on at home, it's really ...... Some can't leave. ”
Sure enough, after hearing what I said, the smile on Cui Lingyun's face froze.
She stared at me and didn't squeak for a while.
After all, Choi Ling-yoon is the only one who knows where my home is.
After a few seconds of silence, Cui Lingyun continued to maintain the smile on his face, "I see, it's okay, if you need any help, feel free to come to me." ”
She put it in my ear and said in the voice of the two of us: "Although Xi Yi doesn't like you, if I open my mouth to help you intercede, I should still be able to give you some third-line resources." ”
The sarcasm in the words was unspeakable, and I clenched my fists and maintained my demeanor.
"Then thank you, Miss Cui."
Lu Qinghua didn't know what we said, and when he saw us standing away, the gaze that fell on me was a little complicated.
"Tsinghua, aren't we going to attend an exclusive interview?"
Cui Lingyun walked up to Lu Qinghua and said very affectionately.
Hearing this, Lu Qinghua glanced at me again, and then nodded and walked out with Cui Lingyun.
"What's wrong?" Zoya, who came out of the office, saw me standing still and reached out and patted me on the shoulder.
I came back to my senses, chuckled and shook my head, "It's okay, I just wanted to get you to confirm the script again." ”
"It just so happens that this director is coming to the company in a while, and you just happen to audition."
I didn't expect to arrange an audition so soon, I became nervous, nodded and followed Zoya to the office.
The play "Sultry Night" mainly tells the story of a pair of lovers who were together despite the opposition of their families and clans during the Republic of China.
Although the plot looks a bit old-fashioned, the script renders the details very well, and to be honest, I am very optimistic about this drama.
The role I want to audition for is called Lin Ying'er, the eldest lady of the family, a ballet dancer who has returned from studying abroad.
Because the things I learned were trendy.,I can't help but be a little arrogant.,But after seeing the male owner, I lost my lady's temper.,I just want to marry the male owner.。
It's a pity that the male protagonist prefers the unpopular dancers in the dance hall, and Lin Yinger can't love it, and finally gets shot and dies in order to save the male protagonist.
After reading the script, my eyes moistened a little.
If the love between the male protagonist and the female protagonist is a tenacious love that transcends all obstacles and wants to be together, then Lin Yinger is a humble love that resonates.
"How's it going?"
Zoya asked, sitting next to me.
I sniffed and nodded, "Well, I'm done, I want to try this one." ”
Glancing at the script I was referring to, Zhuoya's face showed surprise: "Are you sure?" ”
I nodded with a firm gaze, and Zoya knew that I had my own ideas, and there was no distraction too much, just let me get ready.
When I read the script, I always unconsciously think of Jiang Xiyi in my mind.
"Zoya."
I took a sip from my glass of water, "Why, is it that a person's emotional personality changes completely during the day and at night, as if it were two people?" ”
Zoya was looking down at the papers, and she didn't even raise her head when she heard me say this.
"You're talking about the movie A Beautiful Mind?"
When I heard this, my body suddenly stiffened, and I suddenly woke up thinking about the plot of the movie.
yes, how I didn't think of it!
Double personality!
Jiang Xiyi is actually a dual personality!
Subconsciously, I thought of the box of medicine I saw in the living room that day.
Liang Buwei just came with his front foot, and there was an extra box of medicine on his back foot in the living room, which was too coincidental.
Come to think of it, this box of medicine should have been brought by Liang Buwei.
With such a thought bursting into my mind, I couldn't sit still, "Zhuoya, how long does it take for the audition to start?" ”
Zhuoya glanced at the time, "The director should be here soon, don't worry." ”
"Okay." I nodded and continued to wait patiently.
When I was holding my phone, I couldn't hold back several times and wanted to call Liang Buwei to ask about the situation.
But I still hesitated when I held my phone.
Can't let Jiang Xi ......
Just thinking about it, Zhuoya's phone lit up.
"Let's go, let's go audition."
The audition was held in the lobby on the first floor of the company, and I looked at many familiar artists and became nervous.
"Don't worry, most of them are real women and two women."
When I heard this, I breathed a sigh of relief.
The director of the play "Sultry Night" is also very famous, and has won several awards in China, but he is also notoriously foul-tempered.
"Next!"
With a shout, Cui Lingyun walked to the middle of the crowd very confidently, "Hello director, I am an artist from Universal, Cui Lingyun." ”
The director was polite and nodded slightly, "I know, I don't need to introduce myself, let's just start." ”
Cui Lingyun nodded, "What I'm going to try is the heroine's thirty-second scene." ”
After speaking, Cui Lingyun took a deep breath and danced to the sound of music.
She has been learning dance since she was a child, and her body coordination is naturally good, good-looking, and very sultry.
"Stop."
The director said impatiently, "Miss Cui, you danced very well." ”
A hint of joy flashed on Cui Lingyun's face, and he was about to say thank you when he heard the director say again.
"Not to mention, I don't want a dancer who can only dance! I want something sultry and eyes that can talk! ”
Indeed, since she is a woman who mixes in nightclubs, she naturally makes every move.
Cui Lingyun's portrayal is too rigid.
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Cui Lingyun's face suddenly froze, and he bit his lip and didn't speak for a long time.
Li Wen hurriedly walked up to the director's ear and said something, and the director raised his eyebrows, "You try again." ”
With such a play just now, Cui Lingyun's next audition did not go well, and his face turned a little pale after seeing the director shaking his head, and he went out through the crowd.
The auditions for the next few actresses did not go very well, and the director's temper became worse and worse.
"Manager Cai, is the level of your company's artists like this, I actually don't have much hope that I can choose several protagonists today, but look at it, there is no suitable one!"
Manager Cai of the company had a slightly ugly face after hearing this, "Director, don't worry, isn't there more." ”
As he spoke, Manager Cai looked at the few remaining actors around him, with an embarrassed expression on his face.
"That...... Still have auditions? ”
I glanced at Zoya and saw her nod at me, so I walked up.
"Hello director, my name is Song Chichi, and I am a newly signed artist from Universal."
The director's eyes fell on me, his eyes were full of contempt, I knew that I was a new face in the entertainment industry, and the director didn't like a little actor like me.
"Let's get started."
The director leaned on the stool, took out his mobile phone and looked at it boringly.
Taking a deep breath, I nodded and said, "What I want to try today is the role of Lin Ying'er." ”
Hearing this name, the director looked up in surprise, "Lin Ying'er, are you a ballet graduate?" ”
"It's not." I said honestly, and spoke generously in the mocking eyes of the people around me: "I know that Lin Yinger's role requires professional ballet literacy, but I think that her role is not based on dance, but on emotion." ”
I guess I was amused by what I said, and the director laughed out loud.
"Okay, since you say so, then you can use the method you said to express Lin Ying'er's emotions."
Zoya walked up, moved a stool and placed it beside me, and whispered a word of cheering.
For a moment, my heart was full of warmth.
The one I chose to audition for didn't have a single line, which is why Zoya was surprised.
The pampered eldest lady mustered up the courage to confess to the person she liked, but in the end she was rejected bluntly, what I needed to play was Lin Yinger's state of mind after being rejected.
Silently pushing open the door, Lin Ying'er's eyes lost color and sat on the stool in a daze.
She reached out to wipe the tears from her face, but it took a long time to realize that she was not crying at all.
It took a long time for tears to burst out.
But she bit her lip and didn't make a sound.
Perhaps, the emotion of forbearance is the most heart-wrenching just now.
I'm not a cryer, so when I took acting classes in college, I was often scolded for not being able to cry.
But right now, the heart-piercing words that Jiang Xiyi said to me echoed in my mind, and tears easily came out.
After all, since I followed Jiang Xi every day when I was a child, I fell in love with him.
After nearly twenty years, this love has not dissipated because of Jiang Xiyi's cruelty to me.
Instead, it gets deeper and deeper.
I never thought that I would be so affectionate, but after all, it was planted on Jiang Xiyi's body.
"Stop!"
The director stood up and looked at me, "What's your name?" ”
I didn't get out of the play for a long time, and I touched the tears on my face and replied, "Song Chichi." ”
"This scene has a month to start filming, a month to go, you need a quick ballet, is there a problem?"
I was blinded by the director's words, and I was stunned for a while and couldn't move.
Zhuoya came up and pulled my arm, and then nodded at the director, "Don't worry, director, we will definitely be able to do it later, I can assure you of this." ”
The director finally showed a smile on his face and bowed slightly: "Okay, then it's settled, let's find time to sign the contract another day." ”
