Chapter 32 Audition
A few days passed in the busy and depressing rhythm of the set.
Lin Shu no longer had time to make things difficult for Su Qianqian. She was being pressured by the director to hone her acting skills, working in the sun all day long and exhausted every day.
Su Qianqian always wears the pair of black-framed glasses. On the crew, she knows what she wants. She never forms cliques and never gossips.
Whenever I have free time, I carefully study the acting and movement of all the actors, big and small, in this play.
Because of her congenital heart disease, she had not truly experienced the world for the past 18 years. She had to suppress her joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness to avoid excessive emotional fluctuations.
When she came to this world, she had no choice but to cling to Gu Chengyu.
Acting allows her to release her emotions and experience a different life.
She wants to be an actress.
She was so stubborn that she refused to leave the set or leave Lin Shu's side. Besides being worried about the development of the relationship between Gu Chengyu and Lin Shu, she also wanted to find an opportunity.
Opportunities come quickly.
That afternoon, the atmosphere on the set was a little tense.
The director spoke into the intercom, his voice filled with uncontrollable anger: "What do you mean you can't come? You told me just before filming started? What's going on at the dance academy?"
"That courtesan has a scene with a stunning dance. Where can I find someone like her now?"
The assistant director was also sweating: "Director, they said she sprained her ankle during training and can't move... This..."
Lin Shu's agent, Brother Wang, who was standing nearby, listened with a frown on his face, his fingers tapping unconsciously on his thermos.
His eyes swept across the set and finally landed on Su Qianqian who was standing beside him.
The girl was wearing the simplest T-shirt and jeans. Her long seaweed-like hair was casually tied behind her head, with a few strands of hair hanging on her cheeks.
The thick black-framed glasses covered most of her face, but her delicate features could still be seen.
Although she is an assistant, she is efficient in her daily work and her posture is indescribably calm and elegant.
Brother Wang’s eyes flashed.
He has been in the entertainment industry for many years and has a sharp eye.
In the past few days, he has actually been quietly observing this new assistant.
Putting aside the obtrusive glasses and the bowed posture, the girl's figure was perfectly proportioned, slender yet flexible, with a long neck and smooth shoulders.
Especially those hands, with fingers as slender as jade and distinct joints.
More importantly, her calm and focused temperament seems out of place in the impetuous film set, yet inexplicably attractive and exudes spirituality.
He has seen too many newcomers who are trying their best to climb up the ladder, their eyes full of desire, but they end up being inferior.
This Su Qianqian is like a piece of unpolished jade covered in dust.
An idea formed in his mind.
The director was still furious: "...If it really doesn't work, who from Group B should take over? Even though his figure isn't quite up to par..."
"Director." Brother Wang suddenly spoke, interrupting the director's complaints.
He walked over to Su Qianqian and patted her shoulder.
Su Qianqian was startled and looked up, her almond-shaped eyes blank. "Brother Wang?"
Brother Wang ignored her nervousness and asked directly, "Can you dance?"
Su Qianqian was stunned for a moment, then nodded subconsciously: "...a little bit."
Actually, she didn't know how to do it, but she heard what the director said just now.
This was an opportunity she wanted to seize.
Moreover, she has a flexible body, so simple dance moves are not difficult for her.
Brother Wang’s eyes lit up and said, “As long as you have a foundation, it’s fine.”
He lowered his voice and spoke quickly: "Now there is an opportunity. Play the role of the Oiran, just two scenes."
"The first scene is a stunning dance performance. There are no lines, it's all about the body movements and the expressions in the eyes."
"The second scene is a corpse."
"The original actor can't come. Do you dare to give it a try? If you can pass the director's audition, I will help you get the role."
He paused, looked into the girl's clear eyes behind her glasses, and threw out the bait, "Also, if you perform well, I can recommend you to Shen Media."
"How about a chance?"
Shen Media?
Su Qianqian's heart skipped a beat. That was Shen Dou's company, one of the real giants in the entertainment industry and the springboard that countless newcomers dreamed of.
She took a deep breath and nodded vigorously. Her voice was not loud, but very clear: "I'll try!"
——
Audition scene.
Without any fancy costumes, Su Qianqian was only wearing her T-shirt and jeans, and had taken off her bulky black-framed glasses.
The director, assistant director, Brother Wang, and several core staff members gathered around.
Lin Shu also folded her arms, standing a little distance away and watching coldly, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of her mouth.
Brother Wang must be confused. A small assistant wants to be a star?
The lights were on the center of the simple stage.
Su Qianqian stood in the light with her head slightly lowered.
As she raised her head, she looked directly at the camera.
The air froze for a few seconds.
The sounds of gasping and gulping of cold air came one after another.
Without the glasses covering her face, the little face was completely exposed to everyone.
Her skin is delicate and fair, and her eyelashes droop, like an orchid bud about to bloom.
