It wasn't until midnight that Gu Weiwei finally finished reading the original novel "Changfeng".
The next day, I met up with Qiao Lin on time and went to the audition venue.
Besides newcomers like her, some actors with some fame also came to audition.
Qiao Lin looked around at the actors who had come to audition, handed her the script, and said.
"The male and female leads have already been decided. As for the role of Tang Shaoqi, just do your best."
Film actors need talent and experience. Although Mu Weiwei is stunningly beautiful, she is ultimately too young and has not formally studied acting.
Several of the competitors here today are actors who have been in the industry for several years.
In particular, she also saw Shen Qiu, the actress who was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Phoenix Awards last year.
Therefore, Mu Weiwei definitely has no hope.
"Okay." Gu Weiwei took the script and began to study it intently.
The script was for a scene where Tang Shaoqi sees the male lead again, and it had to be completed in two minutes.
In "The Long Wind", Tang Shaoqi is a villainous female supporting character, but she always appears in men's clothing in the drama.
After the Tang family was brutally wiped out, he sought revenge by joining the imperial court and becoming its henchman.
The male protagonist is a chivalrous knight she met during her youthful travels, and also the object of her affections, but he is unaware that she is a woman.
This time, they met because she was ordered to assassinate the female lead's family, and the male lead came to rescue the female lead from her clutches.
After her family was wiped out and her hands were stained with blood, she then encountered the man she once loved. This scene in the movie was a real test of Tang Shaoqi's acting skills.
She silently rehearsed the scene a few times, then got up and went to the restroom. On her way back, she saw the casting director and assistant politely seeing off Shen Qiu, who had just finished her audition.
"Director Li, has the role of Tang Shaoqi been cast as Shen Qiu?" the assistant asked.
Of all the actors who auditioned today, only Shen Qiu's performance was recognized by the director. In addition, she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress last year, so her acting skills were certainly up to par.
"Sign with Shen Qiu's agency as soon as possible; his schedule is very full lately," the casting director instructed.
"But aren't there still a few who haven't finished their auditions?" The assistant glanced at Gu Weiwei, who was walking behind them, and said, "I just saw one of them who is particularly beautiful."
"You mean that internet celebrity Black Swan?" the casting director said without any hesitation, pretending not to see the people behind him.
"These days, it seems like anyone who gets plastic surgery wants to act in movies."
"However, she is indeed quite beautiful in person," the assistant whispered.
"Alright, for movies, those with surgically enhanced faces can't be on camera, so being pretty is useless." After saying that, the casting director walked into the audition room.
Gu Weiwei walked behind the two, seething with anger.
Does being pretty mean you've had plastic surgery?
Little did he know that he saw with his own eyes that she had undergone plastic surgery; she was clearly a natural beauty.
Back in the prepared meeting room, Qiao Lin glanced at her and said directly.
"You're next, but it looks like they've already decided on Shen Qiu, so you'll just have to go through the motions."
Gu Weiwei sighed. Her agent had no confidence in her, and the casting director also believed that she had a typical internet celebrity face and no acting skills. Was it really that hard to make it in China's entertainment industry?
Could it be that she's really supposed to cling to Fu Hanzheng's coattails?
She only considered this idea for a moment before deciding to fight for it based on her own abilities.
"Lend me something."
"What?" Qiao Lin didn't even look up from his phone.
Gu Weiwei reached into his bag and took out a gift box. Inside was a dark-colored silk scarf.
"Put it down. This is a birthday present I bought for myself. I can't lend it to you."
"I'll just use it for a bit," Gu Weiwei said, already holding it in her hand.
The crew members at the door called out loudly, "Mu Weiwei, it's your turn."
