Chapter 32
Just when netizens were shifting their focus from the topic of Nan Tao's stunning looks to the topic of her character, the live broadcast room closed and the screen went black.
At that moment, at the Garden Community, a low-profile luxury car worth millions of dollars was parked at the entrance. Steward Lin and the driver were waiting inside. They saw Nan Tao and Yu Ze approaching from a distance, and Steward Lin and the driver opened the car door and got out.
As soon as Nan Tao walked to the car door, she felt the cool air coming from inside. She sighed comfortably, climbed into the car quickly, and lay down on the car seat, a one-to-one replica of Ge Tantan, who had become popular on the Internet a while ago.
Yu Ze took out a bottle of mineral water from the car pocket, unscrewed it and handed it to Nan Tao: "Mommy, drink it."
Nan Tao was so moved that her eyes were filled with tears. Her son was so thoughtful.
After returning home, Nan Tao sent Yu Ze back to his room and then returned to her own bedroom.
I was lying on the bed playing with my cell phone when the phone rang. It was Jiang Hui.
After the call was connected, Nan Tao jokingly asked, "Did you enjoy the variety show live broadcasts over the past three days?"
Jiang Hui complained: "I'm so tired but still happy."
Nan Tao empathized with the situation. "It seems like everyone is exhausted. The production crew is being inhumane."
Jiang Hui strongly agreed and then said, "Director Le Tian's film will start casting in the next two days. I will fly to Hai City the day after tomorrow morning to find you and help you audition. In the afternoon, I will accompany you to the film and television base for the audition."
Nan Tao felt a warm feeling well up in her heart. "Okay, tell me when you get off the plane, and I'll have the driver pick you up."
After hanging up the phone, Nan Tao felt that she would be sorry for Jiang Hui if she didn't prepare in advance.
So I went on Weibo and searched for the new costume movie that director Lotte was planning to shoot. It turned out that the movie had not yet been named, and even the lead actress had only been confirmed as Jiang Hui. The other female lead and other supporting male roles were still being cast.
The real-time comments were abuzz with discussion about the other female lead. Director Lotte is considered a walking award-winning figure in the eyes of actors, and anyone who lands a lead role under his direction is almost guaranteed an award. Of course, the value of an award depends on the individual's acting skills, but any award is better than nothing. Furthermore, becoming a Lotte Girl signifies a smooth career in the entertainment industry, leading countless people to scramble to join Director Lotte's crew.
Fortunately, Director Lotte is a person who pursues art seriously and persistently. He only considers whether the actor meets the requirements of the role and whether the actor has the potential to break out. If not, even if the capital pays to get the actor, it will not work. There was even one time when the capital party directly put a traffic star as the protagonist without saying hello. Director Lotte was so angry that he left the crew and stopped filming.
Nan Tao gained a deeper understanding of director Lotte from her Weibo posts. It seemed that she still needed to think carefully about the play and try to win the role of one of the two female protagonists with her own strength.
Afterwards, Nan Tao read the topic discussions posted by popular entertainment influencers.
#Who is the most suitable candidate for the role of Hexian#
The netizens chose Rong Ya as the first one, and the other female stars were far behind Rong Ya.
Nan Tao looked around carefully and confirmed that her name was not there. She pouted and thought, "What? There's not even her name."
So, Nan Tao switched to a small account and commented under this big V.
Pan Tao Zai Shi: [Why isn't Nan Tao in the voting? I think she's perfect for this role. She's beautiful and fits the character, and has a ladylike personality. Why isn't her name on the voting list?]
As soon as the comment was posted, it was like a hornet's nest was disturbed, and a group of Rongya's fans followed the trend and crawled into the post to reply.
What's wrong with her being gone? Does she still want to play this role? She doesn't even look at her position. She's just a variety show star, and she wants to star in a big director's movie? What a pipe dream.
[It's obviously my Rong Ya who is suitable for this role, are you blind? ]
[It's funny, Nan Tao is just an ugly bitch, but she still creates a persona of a rich lady. It's really ridiculous. People who created this kind of persona in the past all failed.]
[Don't you even consider how much Nan Tao weighs? I suggest you dream. Dreams contain everything.]
[What kind of little celebrity from the 18th line is trying to seduce my goddess?]
Does Nan Tao have any representative works? Does she have any? She just appeared on a variety show for children, but she really thinks she's a big shot.
Nan Tao was so angry that she was a little drowsy at first, but now she was completely awake. She held her phone in both hands and typed away, responding to each question one by one.
But two hands are no match for four punches, and they can't do it.
Nan Tao was so angry that she threw down her phone and fell asleep.
Humph, when Jiang Hui gives her an audition, she must study hard and try to impress the director, so that Rong Ya’s fans will cry.
Two days passed in a flash.
Nan Tao got up early and sat at the dining table waiting for Jiang Hui to come and have breakfast together.
"Xiao Ze, Aunt Huihui will come to our house later. Let's have breakfast together when she arrives."
Yu Ze nodded, "Is Aunt Huihui coming soon?"
Nan Tao just called the driver to ask, he is already on the way and will be home in twenty minutes.
Twenty minutes later, Jiang Hui walked into the living room wearing a black corset dress and transparent white high heels.
Nan Tao greeted him with a smile, "Come on, come quickly and sit down to have breakfast and see if it suits your taste."
Jiang Hui took off her sunglasses and placed them on the table. "Your neighborhood is so big, awesome! I didn't expect I'd make friends with rich sisters."
Yu Ze said sweetly, "Good morning, Aunt Huihui."
Jiang Hui: "Good morning, Xiaoze"
Nan Tao picked up a small porcelain bowl and served Jiang Hui a small bowl of millet porridge. "Try it. Drinking millet porridge in the morning is good for your stomach."
Jiang Hui took it and took a sip, "Not bad, delicious, your chef has cooking skills."
After the three of them had breakfast, Yu Ze went out to play, while Nan Tao and Jiang Hui went to the dance studio to audition.
Jiang Hui envied him, "Your family has a separate dance room, so big. Have you ever learned to dance?"
Nan Tao: "I started out learning to dance, but then I stopped because I found it tiring."
Jiang Hui pulled out an A4 sheet of paper from her bag. It was covered in densely printed words. "Here, these are a few audition clips. The director will randomly select from them. Some are easy, some are difficult. It all depends on your luck."
Nan Tao took it and looked at it.
Jiang Hui: "There are three clips in total. We finished the test in the morning, and the afternoon show at the film and television base started at 2 pm."
Nan Tao nodded: "OK."
The first clip is: the first encounter between the two female protagonists Lin Shuang and He Xian on the road.
Jiang Hui: "We need to pay special attention to the portrayal of He Xian here. We need to show the pampered nature of a young lady, but not overdo it, otherwise it will easily become unlikable. We need to control it."
Nan Tao nodded: "Okay, let's get started."
Jiang Hui quickly got into the role of Lin Shuang, and Nan Tao was immediately drawn into the situation. It has to be said that Jiang Hui is a movie queen, and Nan Tao's emotions completely followed Jiang Hui.
After the audition, Jiang Hui praised her, "Taozi, you are very talented. You grasped the core of the character's personality right away. I was right. You are very suitable for this role."
Nan Tao was so flattered by the praise, "Really? When I was in the sea play, I was criticized by the teacher every day."
Jiang Hui: "I remember that your teachers were very strict. Some of them are now big names in the industry. If you hadn't told me last time that you were in the same class as them, I wouldn't have known."
The two took a break and chatted for a while, then proceeded to rehearse the next two segments.
The second clip is: Lin Shuang and He Xian successfully opened a restaurant in Chang'an City. On the official opening day, the restaurant was smashed by competitors. He Xian laughed and scolded, and fought back sharply and ostentatiously, which eventually won the applause and admiration of the customers. The restaurant was packed with customers that day and was very prosperous.
The third clip is: The restaurant run by Lin Shuang and He Xian was framed, and many guests went home with vomiting and diarrhea after eating. They were then reported to the government, and the two were thrown into prison. When they were brought to court, He Xian was severely beaten.
After trying all three clips, the two of them collapsed to the ground exhausted.
Nan Tao: "It's not easy. Acting is very tiring, but it's so refreshing to be in a role with someone else. It feels like I'm living someone else's life."
Jiang Hui: "Why didn't you want to act more before?"
Nan Tao: "Before, I had simple ideas and felt that my family had a stable life. Now, I have decided that I should have some dreams in life."
Jiang Hui: "I support you."
After lunch, I took a nap and when I woke up, I rushed to the film and television studio without stopping.
Jiang Hui is an old acquaintance at the film and television city in Hai City. When the security personnel saw it was her, they let the car in.
The car stopped at a six-story building, which is the office location for all the crews of Hai City Film and Television Base.
After getting out of the car, Nan Tao and Jiang Hui walked into the building together.
As soon as she entered, she ran into Director Lotte. Director Lotte saw Jiang Hui and shouted, "It's just right that you're here. Come and do me a favor. There are too many actors' resumes submitted and I can't read them all. Can you help me select and see if there are any good ones?"
Jiang Hui agreed, and then said, "Director Le, the person next to me is Nan Tao."
Nan Tao took off her sunglasses and greeted Director Lotte.
Director Le Tian's eyes lit up. "That image is perfect for He Xian. Xiao Hui, the person you recommended is good, but I'm not sure about his acting skills..."
Nan Tao said with a generous and bright smile, "I will definitely satisfy you."
Director Lotte smiled even more happily: "Yes, that's my personality."
Jiang Hui said to Nan Tao, "I'm going to the director. Can you go alone? You need to go get a name from the staff over there and wait for your number to be called. When your number is called, go in and audition."
Nan Tao gave Jiang Hui a look that reassured her, "It's okay, go ahead."
Jiang Hui followed Director Lotte and left. Nan Tao went to get her number plate. After waiting for half an hour and still not being called, she got up and went to the bathroom to touch up her makeup.
While applying setting powder with a powder puff in front of the mirror in the bathroom, Nan Tao heard two people talking at the door.
"It's such a pity that you didn't come this morning. Goddess Rong is so beautiful. I'm almost dying of envy."
"Really? Tell me quickly."
"She's even more beautiful in person than she appears on camera. She has a cool and unique aura, and is incredibly charming. You wouldn't know how many staff members here came over just to see her."
"I watched her audition, and her acting was really great. She completely brought He Xian's ladylike energy to life."
"But didn't you say that her temperament is cool and unique? I'm a fan of the book, and Hexian's character is bright and flamboyant."
"What do you know? Are you still my good sister? I'm only telling you gossip because of our good relationship. How can you look down on my goddess like this! Her acting is super good, okay? Look, she has a cold temperament, but she can play He Xian so perfectly. Doesn't this prove something? Even the super strict director Lotte praised her performance."
"Wow, even Director Lotte praised her?"
"Isn't it? I guarantee that the actress who plays He Xian this time is definitely our goddess Rong. No one else can play the role well."
"But I think Nan Tao is also suitable."
"You're making me so mad, which side are you on?"
