"Empire of Hegemony" is Ling Yingluo's first work directed and acted by himself, so he attaches great importance to it. Even if it is a small role, but with an important part, he needs to watch it personally before making a decision. Therefore, every role that comes to audition this time must be auditioned by Ling Yingyue himself.
The role that Chuchu came to audition for this time was the eldest daughter of a general's mansion, which could be said to be a supporting female role. There were many female artists who came to audition, and one of them was at the top of the second line. So Chuchu’s chances are actually not that great.
As expected, when Chuchu came out, she looked depressed, and it was obvious that she was not selected.
"Second Master, I was not selected." Chu Chu was dejected, but suddenly she thought of something and immediately smiled again, "However, I am very satisfied to be able to see Mr. Ling so closely. It's just that my feet are not very good. When Mr. Ling glanced at me, I almost fell to the ground."
Looking at Chuchu who was touching the back of her head and smiling very innocently, Ouyang Qianran couldn't help but say, "You are very good."
Chuchu was so happy to hear her idol's praise, "Haha, I'm so happy to get your affirmation. Actually, I didn't have much hope this time, but it's great to have an audition opportunity. After all, the people who auditioned with me have really great acting skills."
Thinking of the acting skills of the actresses she had seen in the audition room, Chu Chu admitted that she was inferior to them. She really could not compare to them.
Ouyang Qianran looked at Chu Chu thoughtfully. In fact, the amazing one was not those actresses, but Ling Yingluo. Others auditioned one actor at a time. As for Ling Yingluo's audition, all the actors auditioning for the same role were asked to enter together. Then let those actors perform in public. This way, not only can cheating and favoritism be prevented, but more importantly, it can let those actors know where they lost.
This move is brilliant.
After chatting with Ouyang Qianran for a few more words, Chuchu left as she had an announcement to attend to. Ouyang Qianran looked at Liang Jianwen who walked into the audition room with the others and asked He Junjun beside him, "What do you think his chances are?"
"Fifty-fifty." He Junjun thought of the two first-line actors who went in with Liang Jianwen. Their acting skills were similar. In fact, He Junjun was more worried about Ouyang Qianran. He was worried that Ouyang Qianran would be chosen to play "Hu Ji". Now he looked at Zhao Xuan's first-line artists standing not far away who were competing with Ouyang Qianran for the role of "Hu Ji". He was now worried that Ouyang Qianran would not be chosen.
Feeling that He Junjun's mind was not on this, Ouyang Qianran patted his shoulder and smiled faintly, "What if I say that Liang Jianwen can definitely get this role?"
He Junjun was stunned, "Second Young Master has so much confidence in Liang Jianwen?"
"No." Ouyang Qianran shook his head, "I am confident in his acting skills."
Sure enough, when everyone came out, they saw Liang Jianwen with an excited look on his face. After saying hello to Ouyang Qianran, Liang Jianwen also left.
Next are the other characters, and the story of "Hu Ji" is left to the end. By the time Ouyang Qianran auditioned, it was already quite some time later.
There were four first-tier artists and one second-tier artist auditioning with Ouyang Qianran. Including Ouyang Qianran, there are seven people in total, all of them are pretty boys. Among them, the one with the best looks is of course Ouyang Qianran, followed by Zhao Xuan.
The audition room is very large and can accommodate more than a hundred people without any problem. When I walked in, the first thing I saw was, of course, Ling Yingyue, who was sitting in the middle seat with a cold and arrogant look on his face, and Fan He, who was standing behind Ling Yingyue.
When Ling Yinglue saw Ouyang Qianran coming in, his eyes flashed. After the two looked at each other briefly, they looked away, pretending not to be familiar with each other.
In addition to Ling Yinglu, there is another person, that is the deputy director, and this deputy director is also from Emperor Entertainment. However, the sharp-eyed Ouyang Qianran noticed that the assistant director seemed to immediately set his gaze on Zhao Xuan, who was standing one person away from him.
He remembered that this director was from Emperor Entertainment, Zhao Xuan was also an artist of Emperor Entertainment, and Ling Yinglu was the number one actor of Emperor Entertainment. On the surface, Zhao Xuan's chance of being selected was much greater than others, after all, he was an artist of his own company. However, in order to ensure the fairness of this audition, Zhao Xuan must also audition with other artists. However, if they were to say that they had not received any mysterious hints or something like that, no one would believe it.
As expected, the assistant director sitting next to Ling Yingyue casually turned to a page in the script and said to everyone, "You will only audition for this scene. I will give you five minutes to read the lines and plot."
When everyone saw the script of the scene designated by the assistant director, they couldn't help but look a little subtle. Look at that scene, a whole page of lines, how is it possible to memorize them all in five minutes? Even if they had prepared before coming, had read the script and had an impression of it, it would be impossible for them to memorize it in such a short time.
Ouyang Qianran glanced at him without making any comment, his expression unchanged. He is a man with a photographic memory. He can memorize these few lines after reading them once, so this is not difficult for him. But for others, they may be eliminated at this first level. Glancing at Zhao Xuan again inadvertently, Ouyang Qianran clearly saw a smile in his eyes. He looked so confident, as if he had already known that the assistant director would stage this scene.
He didn't believe that Ling Yingluo didn't notice. Ouyang Qianran secretly gave Ling Yinglu a meaningful look. Ling Yinglu saw it, and his expression remained unchanged, but his fingers on the table tapped the table unconsciously a few times. Ouyang Qianran's eyes showed a little more smile.
"Okay, take the script and read it. Five minutes later..."
Before the assistant director could finish his words, he was interrupted by another cold voice.
"etc……"
Ling Yingyue picked up a script, flipped through several pages, and placed it on the table. He said expressionlessly to Ouyang Qianran and the others standing in front of him, "You guys are auditioning for this scene."
The assistant director sitting next to Ling Yingluo did not expect that Ling Yingluo, who had been silent and watching the actors' audition, would suddenly speak and change the audition role he had previously decided. His face changed and he looked at Ling Yingyue guiltily. Why didn't he say anything before, but spoke at this moment? Did he discover something?
The confidence on Zhao Xuan's handsome face disappeared without a trace after Ling Yingluo suddenly spoke. He seemed a little surprised and couldn't help but look at the assistant director again. But this time, the guilty assistant director no longer dared to make eye contact with Zhao Xuan, for fear that Ling Yingluo would discover something.
Originally everyone was worried about the entire page of lines, but now Ling Yingluo suddenly asked to change the plot. Several artists should have been happy, after all, the plot chosen by Ling Yingluo did not have any lines. But it was precisely because there were no lines that the faces of the artists present turned pale.
Because the scene chosen by Ling Yingyue was actually the most outstanding and the most impressive one for the audience in the entire drama. That is the part where "Hu Ji" danced for Emperor Shang. The drama describes that when Hu Ji was performing this dance, her figure was extremely soft and charming, which captivated everyone. That's why the King of Shang was fascinated by her and took her as his concubine. In the end, he almost made Hu Ji the queen of Shang.
After watching this scene, several actors' faces changed suddenly, and even Zhao Xuan was no exception. Although everyone had prepared before coming, memorized their lines, and practiced the plot, no one practiced dancing. After all, in their opinion, no matter how good-looking a man is, he can never dance as softly and charmingly as a girl. Furthermore, as first-tier and second-tier artists, they did not have much time to practice dancing in three days, so everyone ignored the plot, thinking that they would practice if they were chosen.
No one expected Ling Yingyue to come up with such a surprising idea and chose this part. In comparison, several people would rather choose the plot with that long page of dialogue.
Several people looked unhappy, except Ouyang Qianran. When he saw the plot selected by Ling Yingluo, Ouyang Qianran's expression was indeed a little subtle, but not like the others.
Ling Yinglu noticed that from the very beginning, his eyes had never left Ouyang Qianran. He asked Ouyang Qianran to audition and just gave Ouyang Qianran the script. However, Ouyang Qianran was not told which scene he was going to audition for, in order to see his ability to adapt to changing circumstances.
After seeing Ouyang Qianran's subtle expression, Ling Yingluo thought that Ouyang Qianran was also feeling a little embarrassed like everyone else, and there was a teasing smile in his eyes.
Feeling Ling Yinglu's teasing look, Ouyang Qianran couldn't help but glare at him when no one was paying attention. Do you think you can embarrass him by doing this? Do you think you can embarrass him by doing this? Haha, I'm really sorry, I may disappoint someone.
Ling Yinglu understood Ouyang Qianran's eyes, gave him a look that said "I'm waiting", and then said to Fan He behind him: "Give them the clothes."
Fan He immediately picked up a large bag under the table, and then distributed the white clothes in the bag to the seven people one by one. When passing by Ouyang Qianran, Fan He deliberately looked at Ouyang Qianran deeply.
"During the audition later, you all must wear the clothes given to you to perform. I will give you half an hour to prepare. You can go to the dance studio and dressing room next door to change clothes." Looking at the six people in front of him who were all wearing suits except Ouyang Qianran, Ling Yingluo's face was cold.
When the assistant director sitting next to Ling Yinglu saw Fan He grab the big bag from under the table, he knew that Ling Yinglu was prepared and not that he had seen through his little tricks, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It's good that we weren't discovered.
After getting their clothes, Ouyang Qianran and the others immediately entered the changing room and dance studio next door. Originally, the artists were wearing suits and were worried that they wouldn't be able to dance, but they didn't expect Ling Yingluo to prepare extra clothes. It seems that Ling Yingluo is indeed very cautious about the role of Hu Ji.
The clothes Ling Yingyue handed out were a set of ancient costumes, an ancient version of a dance costume, with long sleeves and lightness. There was even a wig hidden inside?
Seeing all the performance props, Ouyang Qianran, who was standing in the independent changing room, smiled.
