Chapter 291 Almost Split

Chapter 291 Almost Split

"The one who can hold the stage is not good at martial arts, and the one who is good at martial arts can't hold the stage. I think it will be difficult to find a female lead." Producer Roger, who was also in charge of the auditions, complained.

Assistant Director Chai Hongye counted the registration forms in his hand and said, "There are still two people left."

If the last two people are not suitable, today's audition will be a success or failure.

Roger yawned and said, "Then let's work harder and take a look at the last two people."

But he didn't hold out hope.

Gao Zhiyuan nodded. This was the only way. "Let them come in together."

The assistant went out and called in the last two actresses who came for the audition.

Two actresses walked in, and the three interviewers all set their eyes on the actress walking in front. She was tall, fair-skinned, and had delicate features. As soon as she came in, she made the actresses behind her look pale.

"Please introduce yourself," Assistant Director Chai Hongye said to the actress.

"Hello, Director Gao, Hello, Director Luo, Hello, Director Chai. My name is Xiong Caiwei." Xiong Caiwei greeted the three interviewers in turn. Her natural and generous demeanor, coupled with her capable and efficient temperament, made a very good impression on the interviewers. "I've been in the industry for two years now and have given outstanding performances in many films..."

Xiong Caiwei mentioned two movies she had acted in, one of which was relatively well-known and in which she played a very recognizable role. After hearing her introduction, Gao Zhiyuan had some impression of it.

"Have you ever acted in an action movie?" Gao Zhiyuan asked.

"Yes." Xiong Caiwei mentioned the title of an action movie she starred in and the role she played.

The three interviewers had no impression of this film, which shows that it was a flop.

Roger said directly: "We are looking for actresses with martial arts background. Please show us some martial arts skills first."

Xiong Caiwei nodded, took a deep breath, squatted down, and threw a light punch with a whoosh.

The three interviewers all frowned. Xiong Caiwei saw this and started to get anxious. She punched and kicked them a few more times. Seeing that their faces looked even worse, she did a difficult backflip in a hurry.

I don’t know if it was because I was too anxious, but I made a mistake in operation and almost fell into the splits when I landed.

Xiong Caiwei hurriedly climbed up, not caring about her bruised leg, and explained, "Although I don't have any martial arts skills, I do have dancing skills. I studied dance at a dance school for half a year..."

Chai Hongye interrupted her, "Ms. Xiong, we are filming a martial arts scene, not a dance scene. You have come to the wrong set."

Seeing this, Xiong Caiwei knew that she had no hope. After saying sorry, she turned around and walked out dejectedly.

"Miss Xiong," Gao Zhiyuan suddenly called out to Xiong Caiwei, saying, "Although the leading female role isn't suitable for you, I wonder if you're interested in the other supporting role in 'Cheng Zhaofeng'?"

Xiong Caiwei didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly, and nodded repeatedly, "I'm interested! I'm very interested! As long as Director Gao doesn't mind, I can play any role."

The drama directed by the great director Gao Zhiyuan is one that many people can't even dream of. Xiong Caiwei felt that she was extremely lucky and thought to herself that it was fortunate that she was thick-skinned enough to come for the audition.

Gao Zhiyuan's leading lady needed to have a background in martial arts. Xiong Caiwei had only studied dance at a dance school for half a year, so she had some dance skills. Although martial arts and dance are different, they were useful when filming some small movements. So she shamelessly came over to see if she could pick up some opportunities.

Unexpectedly, although she didn't get the female lead, she still won a jackpot by getting a supporting role.

Xiong Caiwei happily walked out of the audition room and met a very stunning figure walking towards her. She looked very familiar and stared at him for a few more seconds, revealing surprise: "Principal?"

In the audition room, after Xiong Caiwei left, the last auditioner was left.

However, the three interviewers wanted to end the audition when they saw that she was dark and thin, had no aura of a heroine at all, and behaved a little restrainedly.

"Three interviewers, my name is Yuan An'er. I have been learning martial arts since I was a child. Now I work as a stunt double in some film crews. I will show you a set of Bajiquan." Yuan An'er knew something was not good as soon as he saw the faces of the three interviewers. Without thinking twice, he immediately performed a powerful and domineering Bajiquan after finishing the introduction.

But her punches were as fast as the wind, strong and fast, and extremely explosive.

The three interviewers were surprised. They didn't expect that this dark and thin girl could punch so fiercely, powerfully and majestically.

"What a pity." Gao Zhiyuan said.

The two interviewers heard this and didn't ask why. It was a shame, because they all agreed. With such profound skills, she wasn't a man. Otherwise, she could have gone for a golden supporting role or a villain. But as a woman, without a pretty face, the market wouldn't buy into the role of a female martial arts actress.

She has many skills but no place to use them in the film industry.

After Yuan An'er finished boxing, she saw the regretful looks on the faces of the three interviewers. Her heart sank, and she quickly said, "I know I can't be the female lead, but I hope the director will give me a chance. I can be a stand-in or play a small supporting role. Even if it's just an extra in one or two scenes, I'm willing to do that."

Gao Zhiyuan and Chai Hongye looked at each other, and Chai Hongye said, "Okay, I'll register first. If there's a suitable role, I'll contact you."

Yuan An'er hurriedly reported her contact number again. Although it was clearly written on the registration form, she was afraid that the interviewer would not notice it, so she reported it again to make sure that she could be contacted.

After Yuan An'er left, today's audition failed. The three interviewers stretched themselves tiredly and sighed that their work was in vain.

"It's time to call it a day. Let's go have a big treat." Roger threw the registration form in his hand, stood up and said.

Gao Zhiyuan also closed the materials in his hand and was about to speak when the door of the audition room was suddenly opened, and then a bold and unbridled voice sounded.

"It's wrapping up so soon? What about the female lead? Are you not going to choose one?"

The three interviewers looked up at the same time and looked at the tall and straight man who walked in from the door.

She was wearing a white suit, a black bow tie, her hair parted in a 3:7 ratio, silver-rimmed glasses, and leather shoes. She walked in with one hand in her pocket.

She had a cool and unrestrained temperament, a natural aura, and standing there, she looked like a dandy playing with the world, casual and relaxed. The glasses on her face made her look a little more refined, but the eyes beneath the glasses were so bright that you couldn't ignore them.

From the moment she walked into the audition room, it was as if a ray of light shone in, making it impossible to ignore her presence.

The three interviewers were stunned. Why did this person's features look familiar? This person also looked familiar?

When did such a person appear in the entertainment industry?
