Chapter 170: Pretty good
The break is over and the interview continues.
The number I got for Tan Xin was relatively late. I watched the staff coming in and out, and the actors waiting next to me getting their numbers called one by one. I was thinking about what my agent said, and I felt more nervous the longer I waited.
When it was finally her turn, she breathed a sigh of relief, straightened her clothes a little, and entered the interview room.
Standing still, bowing, and looking up, Tan Xin's pupils shrank slightly - the woman sitting behind President Du and Director Jing, whispering to them and writing something on a piece of paper, wasn't she the one she had seen at the elevator entrance last night? After confirming it, Tan Xin was panicked for a moment. She and Mu Jingsheng were in an underground relationship and hadn't even told her agent.
Tan Xin thought again, with just that one glance, and with him wearing big sunglasses, she probably wouldn't recognize him. Even if she did recognize him, he could just say they were just friends, no big deal.
After preparing himself mentally, the expression on Tan Xin's face became the same as usual, with a polite and decent smile.
Before she introduced herself, the staff had already projected a brief introduction about her on the projector, showing off her acting experience and makeup performance.
Jing Yujun seemed not to be listening to what was said. After talking with Liu Wangxue and Du Yunxiang, he took a note from Liu Wangxue and had someone pass it to him.
Jing Yujun said: "One minute to prepare."
Tan Xin took the note and looked down. There were only a few prompts written on it: Zen room, meditation, and "Birdsong Stream".
What's this?!
The timer has begun. Tan Xin forced herself to calm down and thought about the recorded video of the anchor that her assistant had found for her on the Internet.
Yes, this happens in the later part of the story and is related to the change in the heroine’s mood. It is also a turning point in the heroine’s life.
Tan Xin quickly sorted out her performance ideas in her mind: "I'm ready."
The timer just ended.
The heroine in the story started working and studying fashion design, and finally became a qualified designer and joined a fashion design company.
However, nothing can go smoothly forever. Just when she was competing with other people in the company for the qualification to enter a national-level design competition, she was backstabbed by her friend.
A friend stole her design and helped the other party to turn the tables, turning her from a victim into a plagiarist.
People who knew her sympathized with her at first, but when she started to fight back and the matter got bigger and bigger, these people turned around and blamed her, and even her boss who had always trusted her began to look askance at her.
Finally, she left the company and, feeling depressed, signed up for a one-month meditation course and went to the mountains.
Perhaps she wanted to escape, or perhaps she wanted to seek a reconciliation, so she temporarily put aside everything in reality and devoted her body and mind to the natural scenery.
After a conversation with her teacher, she went to the meditation room. There was a calligraphy hanging on the wall, which was Wang Wei's poem "Birdsong in the Stream".
She sat there and read the poem word by word. Suddenly, as if something had suddenly dawned on her, she understood the Zen meaning of the poem - it was an extremely free and easy state of mind.
There is no use dwelling on the past, look forward and move forward!
This is the part that needs to be performed in the heart-to-heart talk.
This section is neither difficult nor easy. The only line in the whole section is the poem recitation, and the rest is all inner drama.
Poetry recitation is not the same as poetry recitation on stage performance. It is to use the act of recitation to naturally show the changes in the heroine's heart.
Liu Wangxue had seen the ancient costume drama in which Tan Xin made her official debut.
The siren she played was cruel and crazy enough. She loved someone to the point of being desperate and almost crazy. This can be considered a kind of tenacious character, but it is expressed through love.
As far as this part is concerned, as long as she can restrain herself a little more, she can play the heroine in the early part of the story of "Early Spring Stream" with ease.
But the character of the Siren is also paranoid, and she dies with hatred and grievances. The roles that Tan Xin took on later were too homogeneous, and there was no breakthrough in the character's personality.
So after discussing with Du Yunxiang and Jing Yujun, Liu Wangxue temporarily changed the test question, wanting to see if she could perform the free and open-minded feeling of the heroine after seeing through everything.
Tan Xin finished her performance according to her own design, stood up and bowed to Du Yunxiang and the others: "My performance ends here."
Jing Yujun turned around and asked Liu Wangxue in a low voice: "What do you think?"
Liu Wangxue ticked the note in the notebook and whispered back, "Not bad..."
Liu Wangxue watched every actor's performance very seriously, observing every detail from facial expressions to body movements.
From the moment Tan Xin entered until the end of the performance, she felt that the girl's figure and temperament looked somewhat familiar.
It’s not because she’s watched a heart-to-heart drama, and there’s a difference between what’s presented on camera and what she sees in reality.
Why do many celebrities want to maintain their figure? Because horizontal screen will make the picture wider, which will make them look fatter on camera. Generally, people who have a good figure on camera are thinner in real life.
What's more, Tan Xin studied dance, so her temperament will always stand out compared to others.
Although the encounter last night was unexpected, the girl in the narrow-waisted long skirt still left a shadow in Liu Wangxue's eyes.
After she finished speaking, she asked Du Yunxiang, "What do you think, Mr. Du?"
Du Yunxiang leaned back in his chair and said softly, "Okay, but let's take a look at the back."
Jing Yujun turned to Tan Xin and said, "Thank you. Let's go back and wait for news."
Liu Wangxue took out her cell phone and searched for a photo of Tan Xin wearing sunglasses. She looked at it, then found a frontal photo of her with light makeup on. She used a notebook to cover her eyebrows and eyes, and looked at it again.
Du Yunxiang noticed her movements, leaned a little closer, and asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Jing Yujun heard it and turned around to ask, "What's the problem?"
"It's hard to say," Liu Wangxue put away her phone, "Maybe I'm overthinking it. Let's talk about it after the interview."
The next actor had already come on stage, and the interview continued, and no one spoke anymore.
Du Yunxiang takes this drama very seriously and will not tolerate any flaws. Jing Yujun and Liu Wangxue are both very satisfied with Tan Xin's performance, but at times like this, they need to find out the truth when they have doubts.
She took out her phone and sent a message to her assistant: [Go contact the agent who talked to her and ask him if anything has happened recently.]
The assistant replied immediately: [Received]
Yunxi has always been very efficient. In just one morning, the interview with the heroine was completed.
Du Yunkai sent a message to Liu Wangxue in advance, saying that he and Gu Xuelan were going to have dinner with the children and the three of them.
So Liu Wangxue stayed here and had a simple meal in the office with Du Yunxiang and Jing Yujun. The interview schedule was very tight and it had to continue at 1pm.
