Chapter 575 Charge!
"us?"
After hearing what Chen Li said, several people couldn't help but look at each other.
Wang Chuhan was the last of the four to get a role and was the least confident about the audition. He immediately shook his head and backed off, saying, "Forget it. I finally got a role, but I got scolded by the director a lot during filming. I don't dare go near Director Li An. I'm afraid I won't even be able to say my lines."
Before Chen Li could speak, Sun Yuan followed up, "We've only played a few minor supporting roles. How can such a resume meet the casting director's expectations? Movies have higher standards for actors. It goes without saying that you have excellent qualifications, Ah Li. I'm afraid I can't."
"I'd like to try it." Zhao Meina said regretfully, "But I'm going to join the crew again soon. This time the role is relatively important, and I cherish it very much."
After the words fell, the three of them looked at Chen Li eagerly, with different expressions in their eyes.
Chen Li looked at the three of them and sighed slowly: "I still remember when we first entered university, I was the most introverted and self-deprecating person. At that time, you three were very proactive and reminded me not to be too passive, otherwise I wouldn't even have the chance to be chosen."
After hearing this, the three of them lowered their heads feeling guilty.
In fact, they are not inferior, but they have experienced more after entering the circle and can see the reality more clearly.
Reality is cruel. Sometimes, even if some things don’t happen to you, just watching them as a bystander can indirectly tame you and smooth out your edges.
Chen Li was not lonely at the top. She had seen, heard, and even experienced the most among the few people, so she could probably understand their thoughts and concerns.
"Chu Han." She first looked at Wang Chu Han and said softly, "Have you forgotten that audition? You finally mustered up the courage to challenge a better role, and finally got it. Shouldn't that experience have given you more encouragement? Now that you have a better opportunity, you want to give up without even trying?"
Wang Chuhan pursed her lips. She was indeed greatly encouraged at the time, but after joining the crew, she was often scolded by the director because of her lack of acting experience. Over time, the enthusiasm in her heart dissipated.
Chen Li looked at Sun Yuan again: "Yuanyuan, your concerns are even more unreasonable. The most important thing for an actor is that he cannot deny himself. You haven't even gone to the interview yet, why do you think your conditions must be worse than others?"
"Besides, the way these big directors judge people is beyond our imagination. Do you know how many times Sister Kuan has recommended Sister Chuhe to Director Li An? Director Li An just refuses to accept her. Ji Chuhe's qualifications are not suitable for her in Director Li An's eyes. So we can't use our own perspective and ideas to substitute for the director's. After all, we are still newcomers and definitely lack experience. But what is the most important thing for newcomers?"
Sun Yuan pursed her lips and answered soberly, "It's an opportunity."
"Yes, it's an opportunity. As long as there's an opportunity, you don't care whether it works or not. Just jump on it first. What if it works?"
"And you, Meina!" Chen Li said, looking at Zhao Meina.
Zhao Meina was stunned and quickly explained: "I didn't deny it myself. I really wanted to go, but I have a group under me."
"I know, but give me your information first. I'll submit it for you when the time comes. If the casting team approves and tells you to audition, you should find a way to take two days off to go. I took two days off to meet Director Li An."
"Ah?" Zhao Meina hesitated and said, "Can the crew give me a leave for a small actor like me?"
"Leave it to me. If there is a chance, I will definitely help you."
Wang Chuhan and Sun Yuan looked at each other, their eyes becoming more determined: "Ali, let's try it too."
"Ali, you are right. When you encounter such a good opportunity, you should jump at it first. If you are selected, you will gain. If you are not selected, you will not lose anything." Sun Yuan said.
That’s right, what are you afraid of?
Wang Chuhan suddenly understood: "We are all still unknown anyway, so it's not a big deal to be embarrassed. Besides, there is no shame in working hard for an opportunity!"
Seeing the fighting spirit of several people suddenly ignited, Chen Li smiled with satisfaction: "You are right, there is no shame in working hard. Now is not the time for everyone to be timid and hesitant. Go ahead!"
"rush!"
The four people raised their glasses, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively and enthusiastic.
"Ali, that sexual harassment incident on your set was quite serious. We all heard about it."
While eating, Zhao Meina suddenly mentioned the previous incident. At that time, Shen Ci used the Thunderbolt live broadcast room to broadcast Lu Qiang's evil deeds on the crew nationwide, which caused a great shock to the entertainment industry.
The old artist who is highly respected in front of others is actually a pervert who has the final say in the entertainment industry.
Although he later suffered a stroke and became paralyzed as a result of his retribution, this belated justice meant nothing to the women he had already tormented.
Chen Li actually didn't want to think about this matter anymore, because she had witnessed two people being harmed by Lu Qiang through power, temptation or coercion.
But she still reminded a few friends: "Lv Qiang is not an isolated case. There may be countless Lu Qiangs in the entertainment industry. We are all girls, so we must protect ourselves."
Several people nodded silently, and then Zhao Meina looked at Chen Li again and couldn't help asking: "Then Ah Li...is your sister really an investor?"
Wang Chuhan and Sun Yuan also looked over.
Shen Li glanced at a few people and nodded openly in acknowledgement: "Yes, but I also knew it together with everyone else. It was when that incident happened that day that I learned that my sister was an investor in the film and television drama."
Without waiting for further questioning, she continued truthfully, "Including the role of Hua Xixi in Destiny for the Phoenix, as well as the subsequent human trafficking-themed film and March Alley, they were all related to my sister's investment. She gave me the greatest freedom in casting."
Originally, several people were still wondering whether they should mention this matter, but after all, it was a fact made public, and deliberately avoiding it would seem artificial, so Zhao Meina took the initiative to speak.
Now that they saw that Chen Li didn't seem to have any burden, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Sun Yuan said happily: "Ali, it's really great to have a sister like this. We are all envious."
Wang Chuhan and Zhao Meina also nodded. They were both the only daughters in their families. Only Chen Li was different. She not only had an older sister but also a younger brother.
Chen Li smiled slightly: "Don't be envious, I have a sister, but you have me. I will do my best to help you get more opportunities, but the most important thing right now is not to forget to organize your information and hand it to me. I will help you pass it to Director Li An's casting director."
"By the way, the photos must be of the actors without makeup. Director Li An values the actors' natural appearance."
