Just mentioning Shen Jingxiu gives me a headache.
"Mom, I don't want to think about that right now, so there's no need to arrange any more blind dates."
"But you're not young anymore."
Shen Jingxiu simply lowered his head.
I just discovered that my friend request has been accepted.
After accepting his request, Wen Yan even sent him a cute emoji.
Shen Jingxiu quickly typed out a line of text.
'I am Shen Jingxiu'
Wen Yan replied instantly: 'I know, thank you, big brother'
'You're welcome. '
After a brief chat, Shen Jingxiu involuntarily opened Wen Yan's Moments.
True to his usual style, once he ends a chat with someone, he won't exit the chat interface with that person.
But at this moment, he is browsing Wen Yan's WeChat Moments.
She has good photography skills; she made those lipsticks look very high-end in the photos.
After casually flipping through her previous posts, Shen Jingxiu suddenly realized that Wen Yan was actually an extremely simple person.
Her happiness seems to be very simple.
This is rare and enviable.
-
The next day.
Wen Yan received an audition notice from the production team of "The Voice", along with a short script.
It means that she should audition for this scene, and the time is set for the next day.
Therefore, Wen Yan returned to her apartment that day, because she had renovated one of the rooms there, placing several huge mirrors in it to make it easier for her to practice her performance.
She did not return to the Shen family villa that night.
She arrived half an hour early the next afternoon.
The scene she was going to audition for was about a deaf-mute woman who had been trafficked to a mountainous area and was trying to tell a college student who had come to teach in the village about the suffering she had endured.
The script requires the character to be emotionally expressive, requiring the actor to transform from joy to excitement to utter disappointment in a very short time, and also to have a certain understanding of sign language.
During the audition, Wen Yan was paired with an actor who was auditioning for the role of a college student volunteering in a rural area.
After the previous group finished, it was soon their turn to play.
Before going on stage, the opposing actor visibly became nervous.
He took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Wen Yan: "Hello, my name is Wang Che, and we'll be in a group of two in a bit."
As he spoke, he wiped his hands on his clothes and then reached out to Wen Yan.
"This is my first time auditioning, so I'm a bit nervous. I hope I won't bother you later."
Wen Yan smiled and shook hands with him: "Wen Yan. Actually, this is my first time too. Relax. Don't look at the camera or anyone else. Just look at me. When you're acting this scene, just focus on your co-star. Don't worry about anything else."
"good!"
Wen Yan is very beautiful. When she doesn't smile, she gives off a cold and aloof vibe, but when she smiles, she seems very approachable.
Her smile encouraged the other person, and the two quickly adjusted their breathing and began acting.
Wen Yan had experience from her previous life, so she quickly got into the zone.
She grasped the character very well, and her performance was full of genuine emotion. Whether it was her body language or the transitions in her emotions, it was as if she were the character written in the script.
Her co-star was initially very nervous and reserved, but he listened to Wen Yan's advice, ignored everything around him, and only had eyes for the character played by Wen Yan.
Gradually, he also immersed himself in the role, and the two collaborated to deliver an outstanding performance.
Even after the performance ended, the director applauded and cheered.
The director didn't give such high praise to the previous performances.
However, the director did not decide on the roles on the spot, but told everyone to go back and wait for further notice.
As he was leaving, Wang Che called out to Wen Yan.
"Your performance was absolutely brilliant, I was almost moved to tears. At first, I was still playing my character, but I quickly found myself drawn into the story, and I became a character myself. You were amazing, thank you!"
Wen Yan was naturally pleased to receive such sincere praise.
"Thank you for your praise. I think you performed very well. You seemed much more relaxed after you let go of your nervousness."
Wang Che scratched his head sheepishly: "Really? Thank you for your encouragement. Well, I'll be going now. Thank you so much for today."
"You're welcome, bye-bye."
After saying goodbye, Wen Yan also prepared to leave.
But unexpectedly, the screenwriter of "The Voice" caught up with her.
"Wen Yan, there are two things I need to tell you, is that a good time?"
The two found a quiet spot, and the screenwriter smiled and said to Wen Yan:
"Your performance just now was excellent. The director and assistant director both praised you highly. If nothing unexpected happens, you're the one for this role."
"Is it settled then?"
"Anyway, you've got my vote. I still have some say in casting."
Before transmigrating into the book, Wen Yan had suffered a lot in terms of resources. If the screenwriter hadn't been a woman, she would have suspected that the screenwriter was trying to sexually harass her.
But why did the screenwriter speak to her separately?
Could it be that someone in the Shen family helped her? Su Yang, or Shen Jinghe?
Wen Yan smiled politely and said to the screenwriter, "May I ask why you chose me? There are still several other groups that haven't performed yet."
"Because of your attitude." The editor looked at Wen Yan with a hint of appreciation in his eyes. "You not only performed excellently just now, but your sign language was also very fluent, which is something that many other actors lack."
Wen Yan nodded, so that's why.
“I did attend a few classes specifically, thinking that since I came here for the work ‘Silence,’ I should be well prepared. After all, opportunity favors the prepared.”
