Yan Shengkai also saw Lu Wanwan, with undisguised jealousy in her eyes and a smug smile on her lips, as if to say that the Hollywood role belonged to her.
Lu Wanwan immediately understood that Jiang Mingshu was indeed here to help Yan Shengkai.
Zhong Lingyu also became a little alert when she saw Lu Wanwan.
The other actresses in the hall were chatting and talking on the surface, but in fact, there was an undercurrent, and they all wanted to get this role with all their might.
There were many opponents, and they were very strong.
After a while, the audition began, and everyone went in according to the order of the draw.
The number drawn by Lu Wanwan was before Yan Shengkai, and it was her turn in less than half an hour. The actresses who went in first came out almost immediately, and left as soon as they came out, as if they were going home to wait for notification. The results of the audition would not be announced until three days later.
Lu Wanwan walked in and politely introduced herself to the assistant director and several screenwriters. As a famous director, Hroka would definitely not come to supervise the audition for such a minor role.
When the assistant director saw Lu Wanwan, his eyes lit up and he asked curiously, "Are you Su Ran in "Tit for Tat"? "
"Yes." Lu Wanwan answered with a smile. She didn't expect that the director would remember this role. Indeed, every actor hopes that the audience can remember the role they have played, which is also a kind of recognition of the actor himself.
Afterwards, the assistant director talked to Lu Wanwan about the role of Su Ran for a long time.
One of the screenwriters suddenly clapped his hands, as if he had a sudden inspiration, and said to the assistant director in surprise: "Oh, old man, we can make this role a blind man, a blind man with profound kung fu skills. It sounds like he is related to the mysterious East, and the character image will be more vivid!" Upon
hearing this, the assistant director's eyes suddenly lit up. This is indeed a good idea. Moreover, this time, the Oriental actress was recruited to compete for the Oriental market. With Lu Wanwan's professional performance in "Tit for Tat", she will definitely be able to play the role of a blind man. However, there is one thing that is difficult to do... The assistant director hesitated for a while and asked Lu Wanwan: "If the role is set to be a blind person, would you like to participate
?"
Lu Wanwan heard their conversation. After a moment's silence, she raised her lips with a gentle arc and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "If you want to have advanced kung fu and something related to the mysterious ancient East, there are many ways to set it up. It's not that setting it up as a blind person will make it more outstanding. If you change the setting and make the character a blind person, then... I'm afraid I'm sorry that I can't cooperate with you."
To be honest, if the character is a blind person, she will definitely play it effortlessly, but the audience may not buy it. If it forms a fixed label of playing a blind person, it will be troublesome. When the audience mentions her name, they will first think of 'Oh, that Lu Wanwan who plays a blind person', and then they can't wash it off.
More importantly, she doesn't want to rely on playing a blind person to make a living all her life. She wants to try various different roles and try her best to play each role well.
The assistant director was not surprised by her answer. This was exactly what he was worried about. An actor who is willing to work hard and make progress will never repeat the same old things and stop moving forward.
The screenwriter looked a little regretful. The
assistant director looked at the time and smiled, "I understand what you mean. How about this? You go back first and we will give you an answer in the next few days."
"Okay, thank you." Lu Wanwan nodded slightly and turned to walk out.
Yan Shengkai was in the queue behind her. As soon as Lu Wanwan walked to the door and hadn't left yet, Jiang Mingshu and Yan Shengkai came in impatiently.
The assistant director saw Jiang Mingshu and stood up in surprise: "My dear Jiang, I actually met you here?"
"Long time no see." Jiang Mingshu hugged the assistant director and said with a smile: "I came here to audition with a friend of mine."
Lu Wanwan thought for a moment, it seems that Jiang Mingshu knows the assistant director and they have a good relationship, no wonder Yan Shengkai was so confident that he could get this role.
After leaving the audition room, Lin Wei came over and asked: "How was it?" Lu
Wanwan recounted what happened just now.
Lin Wei nodded: "You are right. We can't insist on playing a blind person. It will cause visual fatigue to the audience. The scriptwriter thought of changing the character setting because he saw you. It may not be changed in the end. Let's go back and wait for the result."
"Then I will go back to the crew first." Lu Wanwan yawned and felt a little sleepy.
"I heard from Song Chi that you are very busy these days?" Lin Wei chatted with her while walking out.
"Yes, I am a little busy." Lu Wanwan wiped away the tears from her eyes. She slept less than three hours a day. As soon as she lay down, she had to get up and continue filming before she had much sleep. Although she and Han Jingmo were in the same space, they didn't even have time to chat.
Moreover, she played two roles, and the clothes and makeup of the two roles were very different. The makeup of the junior sister was more innocent and lively, and the clothes were also goose yellow, light green, sky blue, moon white and other colors. The makeup of the demon cult witch was more charming, and the clothes were a bright red dress, as dazzling as the burning clouds in the sky. It was troublesome enough to change clothes and makeup every day.
The two chatted, and Lin Wei sent Lu Wanwan back to the crew.
In the audition room, Yan Shengkai finished the audition.
Jiang Mingshu stood up, raised her red lips and smiled, "Thank you, assistant director, for taking care of my friend."
"It's a small matter." The assistant director didn't dare to say anything definite. After all, there was Lu Wanwan who was very suitable, and there were other people who had not auditioned yet. He could only say, "This kind of role actually has no impact on the movie. I will hand the list of candidates to He Luoka and give him some suggestions."
"Then we'll wait for good news." Jiang Mingshu smiled charmingly, hugged the assistant director goodbye, and left the audition room with Yan Shengkai.
Yan Shengkai's face was filled with surprise: "Sister Mingshu, will it work this time?"
"Of course." As soon as she left the audition room, the smile on Jiang Mingshu's face disappeared. With her prestige in the industry over the years and her friendship with the assistant director, if she couldn't handle a minor role, how could she stay in the entertainment industry.
Yan Shengkai was very excited. After "The Detective", she was forced to have no more roles to play. Although this role was just a minor role, it was a big production in Hollywood. Even if she only appeared in a few shots, it was enough for her to make a comeback.
Thinking of Lu Wanwan, Yan Shengkai's eyes were filled with gloom. Lu Wanwan was either taking on variety shows or endorsements, or playing the leading female role in a movie, and she was doing very well. And she...
must grab this role this time!
Lu Wanwan returned to the crew, and was stopped by Qin Chuan before she even walked into the dressing room.
Qin Chuan handed her a bottle of water: "You must have been very hard these days."
Lu Wanwan stepped back subconsciously. Although she had a smile on her face, she was obviously alienated. Apart from the inevitable communication at work, she didn't want to have any personal contact with Qin Chuan.
"Thank you, I don't need it." Lu Wanwan smiled and refused.
Qin Chuan's eyes dimmed for a moment at such obvious alienation and avoidance. After that conversation, Lu Wanwan did put him back in the position of a friend, but it was limited to a friendship at work.
