Wen Yan chose the production team of "The Voice" not only because the director was recruiting new actors.
As a transmigrator, Wen Yan knew very well that this movie would win numerous awards after its release.
If I remember correctly, this film was a dark horse, winning eight awards at the film festival that year.
She didn't win Best Actress, because the title was taken by the female lead in the original book.
Strictly speaking, there is no female lead in the film "The Voice". As for the other awards, Wen Yan is not sure, since the original book does not list them in detail.
Regardless of the award, this movie was a huge hit.
Wen Yan had already made up her mind. This time, she would try her best to get a role, no matter what it was.
Looking at the interview time and location sent in the email again, Wen Yan was so excited that she was wide awake.
She spent the entire night searching for news related to "The Voice".
Although not much useful information was ultimately collected, Wen Yan had grasped the general direction.
This film tells the story of a passionate young lawyer who, despite difficulties and dangers and his own safety, fights for the deaf and mute and seeks justice.
However, Wen Yan doesn't know which specific cases will be shown in the film. But she is certain that it will be a story about people from the lower rungs of society.
With this direction in mind, Wen Yan immediately began to do her homework, striving to pass the interview five days later.
She watched a lot of documentaries about deaf people and even took several sign language classes.
In sign language class, she met all sorts of classmates. Most of them came from families with limited means, and there were men, women, young and old among them. They came to learn sign language so that they could communicate more easily with their deaf and mute family members.
After class, Wen Yan usually goes to a dessert shop to buy some desserts.
Because she had been staying in her apartment for the past few days and had not returned to the Shen family villa.
Su Yang often called her to come back, but she didn't want to bother the family of three, so she simply sent some snacks to Su Yang's studio.
Su Yang also cares for and cherishes Wen Yan. When her business partners send her beautiful clothes and jewelry, she lets Wen Yan choose some that she likes. If Wen Yan doesn't accept them, she gets angry.
If it weren't for Wen Yan's strong opposition, Su Yang would have accompanied her to the film crew's audition.
Time flew by and the day of the interview arrived.
Considering the subject matter of the film, Wen Yan chose a simple style of clothing: a white short-sleeved shirt paired with light blue jeans.
As for her makeup, she was bold because she was young and had good skin, so she only applied a little nude lipstick.
She chose a low ponytail for her hairstyle, which is versatile and clearly showcases her facial features.
The production team notified me that the interview time was 2:30 pm.
To avoid any delays, Wen Yan made sure to arrive an hour early.
The scene was much more lively than she had expected.
Zhou Junye, the director of "The Silent", is a fledgling director whose debut film was nominated for several awards, but he was always nominated and did not win any awards.
Wen Yan thought there wouldn't be many people attending the interview, but the scene was so crowded that it couldn't be described as a sea of people.
But the director was quick to select people, in groups of eight, and on average, each group came out of the room in less than ten minutes.
Most of the people who came out were somewhat disappointed, but some seemed quite excited.
Two of the girls were friends with the girl who was still waiting next to Wen Yan, and the group gathered together to chat.
"So, so, Jingjing, were you chosen?"
"No, I was eliminated when I was reciting my lines."
"Then why are you so happy?"
"Yes, because I saw Shen Jinghe! That's Shen Jinghe! If he weren't a judge now, I would really like to get his autograph. He's so handsome in person, a hundred times more handsome than on TV or in photos!"
"Shen Jinghe? Are you sure you're not mistaken? Why would he be a judge?"
This is also the question Wen Yan wanted to ask.
Shen Jinghe is the second young master of the Shen family. The reason why the Shen family was mentioned in the original work is because Shen Jinghe, the second young master of the Shen family, is a top star in the entertainment industry and had a romantic entanglement with the female protagonist in the book.
But why would he be a judge on the set of "The Silent"? Could it be that he's going to play the male lead in "The Silent"?
However, in Wen Yan's memory, the Best Actor who shared the stage with the female lead when she won the Best Actress award in the original book was not Shen Jinghe.
Wen Yan couldn't remember who it was, but it definitely wasn't Shen Jinghe.
Could it be that her transmigration into the book has caused some plot changes?
Just as she was wondering, someone suddenly called her name, as well as the names of seven other girls.
Without delay, Wen Yan immediately lined up with the other girls and entered the room.
The room was empty. Apart from four tables and chairs against the wall where four people were sitting, there was only one camera.
Wen Yan quickly scanned the room and immediately spotted the young man sitting on the far right.
Because the tables and chairs on site were too cramped, his long legs, which seemed to have nowhere to go, stood out conspicuously.
He was wearing a black baseball cap, and although his head was down and his face was obscured, Wen Yan recognized him at a glance as Shen Jinghe.
Good news! Even a silhouette of him with his face obscured is so handsome, he's bound to be a feast for the eyes. Seeing him every day on this set would be a delightful experience.
But the bad news is! Wen Yan discovered that he was in the original owner's most recent memories, on the night she transmigrated, at Su Yang's birthday banquet.
What's worse, it wasn't a pleasant experience!
The echoes of their conversation from that night still linger in my ears…
'Wen Yan, I'm warning you, keep your petty schemes to yourself. Don't provoke my mother by fighting over things that don't belong to you in the first place.'
'Your mom? She's my mom too. Don't forget, you're my nominal second brother, and I also have the surname Chen!'
'Ha, then keep deceiving yourself. But remember what I said: if my mother is hurt or saddened by what you've done, I will absolutely not let you off the hook!'
'You? Just an actor?'
'I'm an actor, and what about you? Without the Shen family, what are you? You're nothing but...'
"Ahhhhhh! Enough! I don't want to hear it! You're not allowed to mention my past! You're not allowed to!"
...
"Okay, let's start from here. Everyone, please introduce yourselves briefly, as you don't have much time."
The voice of the assistant director on set pulled Wen Yan back from her chaotic memories.
Wen Yan glanced at the screen and thankfully it was her turn last, giving her time to calm herself down.
However, judging from the original owner's memories, Shen Jinghe clearly disliked the original owner. Moreover, the original owner looked down on his profession between the lines.
And now he is trying to find a way to enter this industry, and the judge just happens to be the one whom the original owner looked down on.
Can he live on his own?
Could he be using his position to settle personal scores?
