Jona was frustrated. This script was really weird. She had been looking for a long time and there were quite a few female characters, but the only one who stood out was the female lead. The only other female supporting character was the male lead's female secretary and bodyguard, who appeared a total of eleven times. She was either a background character or got beaten up and then cried.
"Okay, it's up to you. Just don't get scared later!"
After saying what they needed to say, the two walked into the audition hall. It was only 8:45, and there was still a quarter of an hour before the official casting call, but there were at least thirty or forty people in the hall.
Of course, she can name quite a few actresses.
It seems the competition is really fierce.
Sister Na pulled her to a secluded spot to sit down, while Qiangzi followed behind, taking care of the cups and bags.
"Take another look at the script while you have some time."
As far as she knew, her artist was the first to receive the script, which meant that Director Chen had the highest hopes for Li Ruan. If she didn't pass the audition, it would be difficult for her to get a script from Director Chen in the future.
After all, if you can't seize an opportunity when it's given to you, you can't blame anyone else.
At 8:50, the crew's assistant started handing out number tags, and at 9:00, the group entered the audition room.
He wasn't too reckless; it's just that following the rules meant being eliminated.
If that's the case, then it must have been really difficult for you.
"Don't be so smug. If it works out, great. We're short of workers."
After all, which variety show is less popular than "Let's Go on an Adventure" right now, and which script is less popular than Vivien Leigh's upcoming film "The Male Policeman"? So, you've put all your attention on those two movies.
Li Ruan nodded perfunctorily in agreement. You're the kind of person who's good at swallowing your anger, but when you're upset, you have to stand up for yourself on the spot. Your breasts are breasts too, why should you have to endure it!
The audition was very slow. Li Ruan watched as artist number 2 walked away, and before leaving, the artist sat back down.
Jona nodded, "You can act in a scene for him."
Li Ruan praised, "That's good, the sooner the performance is over, the better."
Director Chen received news that because you repeatedly made mistakes, even when praised, you still tried to correct them, and he beat up the nobody Zou Jie again.
Qiao Na looked Li Ruan up and down. White shirt, blue jeans, flat sneakers. There was a scene in the drama where you were not wearing clothes like that to catch a big thief outside of work hours. Besides, Li Ruan is short. Even in flat shoes, she is not 172cm. Especially your appearance, you are the most suitable for the male lead's image, a school beauty and a policewoman.
Qiangzi casually asked, "What if I get number 40?"
"That's pretty bad, at least you can take a nap at noon," Li Ruan said casually.
"Director, you're about to mess this up."
If the female lead and supporting actresses are selected together, it will definitely take more than half a day to finish. When he got his number, he asked and found out that they were only selecting male actors today, and there were a total of seventy people to audition.
This means the director was quite satisfied with that person's performance, but we need to see if there were any better performances beforehand. There definitely weren't, and the male lead role might not be yours anymore.
Song Hua muttered loudly, "Heh, he's getting better and better at talking now. Why is he so sarcastic when he's recording a show? Does he even know how many people he'll offend?"
I looked to be in my early eighties, not a skinny old man, but my eyes gave off a very shrewd feeling.
Director Chen's things were slowly being packed up and broken. You Qi glanced at the place where you had worked for half a year, your eyes showing no reluctance or regret. Then, with a heavy heart, you turned around and walked out of the police station, out of everyone's sight.
Number 4 was called very slowly. Song Hua took the bag from Li Ruan's hand and gestured for you to leave quickly.
It was just one scene, with only one line, but it was all about emotion. Li Ruan casually prepared her emotions before the performance officially began.
Now you've placed all your remaining hope under Li Ruan.
But you want to put too little pressure on Pear Soft, and you keep telling me to relax, choose the worst option, or just let it go, since you guys are short of gigs anyway.
You're not lying, are you? From the next episode until the end of his show, there's been a whole stack of variety shows and scripts handed to you, but you've rejected them all.
Li Ruan nodded, while Qian smiled confidently, "I've studied it. You should be able to do any of the fight choreography in that movie."
Qiangzi showed Liruan his number plate: number 4.
The producer chuckled, and Qiao Na glared at him before clearing her throat and saying, "Let's act out the scene where Director Chen gets fired from the police force."
Upon receiving the notification, Director Chen angrily packed his personal belongings with a hot face. His colleague advised him, "Director Chen, don't be angry. We are police officers. The police force is a place where rules are followed. How can we do things as we please?"
My darling, you absolutely have to succeed today!
Seven minutes ago, Li Ruan's performance began, and the screenwriter's eyes lit up. Qiao Na picked up a bottle of mineral water from under the table, unscrewed it, and took a sip. "Let's do another scene. There isn't a scene in the play where we chase a thief in the street. We don't have any restrictions on the location, so he can improvise."
That's a terrible thing!
Li Ruan: "A bad director."
Outside the audition room, Li Ruan bowed to the seven judges and then carefully looked at the director in the main seat when she looked up.
It wasn't just a monotone recitation of my colleague's lines, but Li Ruan's performance was already quite impressive while I was reading my lines. There was a physical act of packing things up, paired with her face that conveyed both warmth and icy emotion, instantly drawing the audience into the scene.
"Everyone, you are number 4, actress Li Ruan, and you play the role of the male lead, Director Chen."
During the last recording, Xing said whatever came to mind.
"You want to ask if he has any martial arts training, since he performed a sword dance on a variety show?"
Director Chen paused in packing his things, glanced at the other person, and then slowed down his packing. The simple emotions in his eyes made it seem as if if anyone said one less word, you would burst into tears on the spot. This also silenced the colleagues who wanted to say more words of advice.
Since you've become an agent, who doesn't want to produce a top-tier star, or even a movie star, under their management? Unfortunately, we all know whether you have bad judgment or bad luck. You've managed more than a dozen artists, and not a single one of them became famous. After that, you only managed an eighth-tier star, and then that person went to work for another agent.
Fei Wei was amused by the child's confidence. "Oh no, here comes a dramatic scene."
Whether the other party is lenient or lenient, they have complained about Director Chen a few times. It's not that they're letting you go by the idea of making you lose your job. They even invested seven million in the police station. In the end, the leader decided to fire Fei Wei.
The words weren't exactly harsh, but they were the truth.
But actually, your heart is softer and more relaxed than a pear!
Li Ruan: ...He made you perform the scene from the street indoors, even though he knows there are no space restrictions~ If he knew that, he would have thought he was just making things difficult for people!
This also means that today's auditions have officially begun.
