The third season of "Along with the Dreams", which has been aired for more than three months, has come to an end.
Wei Sijia debuted with a good result of third place and became a member of the limited idol group Dream Girls.
After the group was formed, Wei Sijia, who was still studying at the Imperial Capital Drama Academy, often had to ask for leave to participate in group activities. However, this kind of thing was common in a drama academy that was linked to the entertainment industry. It was just that Wei Sijia had to balance activities and studies, and her schedule was quite busy.
It was another weekend. In the practice room of Tiancheng Entertainment Company, Wei Sijia finished dancing the dance she would perform for the next event. She sat on the wooden floor to rest while drinking water.
There were three other members of the group practicing in the dance studio. She looked at her teammates working hard and suddenly a complex emotion arose in her heart.
She participated in this talent show at the beginning because of a temporary imbalance in her mentality and also to enter the entertainment industry. Because of her growing up environment, she had a solid foundation in dance and music, and she started from the front. Compared with some teammates who had to start from scratch, she could spend less effort, and this road was relatively not that difficult.
But is this really what she wanted in the first place?
She applied to drama school and entered the entertainment industry with the initial goal of becoming an actor.
When she was very young, when she and Ye Luoxue watched various movies and TV series at home, she dreamed of becoming an actress and envied them for being able to experience different aspects of life in front of the camera.
After thinking about it, she finally took out her cell phone and clicked on the contact information of her agent.
Dream Girls is just a limited group. The management contracts of the artists in this group are all under their original economic companies. Wei Sijia's management contract is naturally signed with Wei's. There are not many preferential resources, but it is relatively relaxed.
…
After confirming Qin An as the most important female lead, the selection of another female lead also had to be put on the agenda.
Although not as difficult as the role of the 'Queen', the role of Lu Wei is not something that can be played by just anyone. It requires the innocence of a newcomer to the workplace, and the ability to perform the transformation from confusion to self-determination in the later period.
With the title of Best Director, this time Wei Lan's casting announcement was not as bleak as that of "Rural Teacher". The casting request for the second female lead was sent out through the public relations department, and soon received replies from many female star agents.
The public relations department receives more than ten resumes of famous actresses with works every day. They are then screened again based on the role requirements provided by Wei Lan before entering the real face-to-face audition session on her side.
So Wei Lan started to get busy with casting these days.
In the second week of the casting auditions, Wei Lan unexpectedly met someone in the holographic space whom he had not expected to appear there.
"I didn't expect you to come."
Wei Sijia looked at the little panda in front of her and pursed her lips. Unlike in the Wei family villa, now in the holographic space, Wei Lan's identity was the director, and she was an auditioner. Even though the two were already very familiar with each other and had a good relationship, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous at this moment.
After watching "Sword IV" and "Rural Teacher", Wei Sijia of course wanted to participate in Wei Lan's next movie very much, but she didn't know the type at first, so she didn't dare to ask. Later, after the casting requirements were announced, it would be a lie for her to say that she was not moved by the role of Lu Wei, but Wei Lan did not mention this to her. She was a little disappointed, wondering if she was not suitable for this role in Wei Lan's eyes.
Of course, in the end I couldn't help myself and decided to give it a try.
So Wei Sijia did not follow Ye Luoxue's path, nor did she look for Wei Lan alone. Instead, she contacted her agent and submitted her resume, participated in the casting according to the normal process, and passed the screening of the public relations department with her own abilities and came to Wei Lan.
"My original intention of entering the entertainment industry was to become an actor. Maybe I'm not suitable for it, but I want to give it a try."
Wei Lan smiled after hearing this, which relieved some of Wei Sijia's nervousness: "That's not what I meant."
"If you want to audition for this role, you can find me when you get home. I saw that you were busy with studies and activities recently and probably didn't have time, so I didn't contact you."
This was a complete misunderstanding. Because Wei Sijia was often not at home and was very busy with her studies and group activities, Wei Lan fell into a blind spot in his thinking and had not noticed her. At this time, Wei Lan looked at Wei Sijia again and suddenly realized that she actually met the external requirements of the heroine.
Wei Sijia is good-looking, a pretty girl-next-door type. Without any special acting, she can naturally present Lu Wei's immaturity when she first enters society. She was able to get into the drama academy with her own abilities, and she is not someone who knows nothing about acting.
The test now is whether she can handle the emotions of this role well.
Wei Lan said, "Then let's give it a try... You just broke up with your former boyfriend who shared similar interests with you. He said you've changed, but you're about to face a promotion at work, and you've even squeezed out an opportunity your colleague has been looking forward to. You're doubting your current choice and your future. Give me an emotion."
Hearing Wei Lan's voice turn serious, Wei Sijia's heart began to lift again.
Fortunately, she had been baptized by the stage experience during this period, and she was very serious in her acting classes at the drama academy, so she adjusted quickly to this challenging environment.
After taking a deep breath, Wei Sijia began to adopt the experiential acting method.
She recalled everything she had faced during the time when the group was formed: the gorgeous lights on the stage, the enthusiastic cheers from fans, the flattery from fans on the Internet. All this glitz had blinded her eyes and made her feel that there seemed to be nothing wrong with continuing on the path of being an idol. However, every time she stepped off the stage and faced herself alone, she would always think of her original intention of entering the drama academy.
She could sing and dance well, but she didn't have the passion from the bottom of her heart...
Wei Sijia's face slowly revealed a feeling of confusion and fatigue, and then she imagined a scene according to the method taught by her teacher. She walked off the stage, lowered her head and wiped the sweat from her forehead, and watched the fans slowly leave the stage. The glow sticks dimmed and flowed towards the exit, and finally everything returned to darkness.
At this moment, that feeling came over me again, that feeling of loss in which the soul could not find a sense of belonging.
Looking at this scene, Wei Lan was surprised. Before this, she had never thought that Wei Sijia would give her such a surprise.
If she didn't want to let relationships and subjective likes and dislikes influence her judgment, she would have almost decided to take the role immediately.
After the performance, Wei Sijia looked at the panda cub in front of her with some trepidation. Since she wasn't there in person, she obviously couldn't tell from the furry creature's face whether Wei Lan was satisfied with her performance.
The most important thing is that Wei Sijia is now in a rather confused stage. Although she ranks third, her popularity has always been the highest in the team since her debut. She doesn’t know whether she has talent in what she likes to do, but on another path it seems that she can easily achieve a level that others think is excellent.
So Wei Lan's evaluation is very important to her.
Wei Lan was silent for a moment, then said honestly: "You performed very well, the best I have seen so far, but I haven't seen all the auditioners yet... I don't want our relationship to affect our judgment, do you understand?"
Wei Sijia's eyes gradually brightened: "Is my performance good?"
She didn't pay attention to the second half of Wei Lan's words, and said in surprise: "Do you think I am still talented in acting?"
"Of course." Wei Lan asked in surprise: "Why...are you doubting yourself?"
In her eyes, Wei Sijia has always been a girl with strong opinions and confidence, and her performance can be said to be excellent for an actress with no acting experience.
"Thank you, Wei Lan, thank you..." Wei Sijia felt a slight blockage in her throat and tried hard to suppress her emotions.
It can be said that Wei Lan’s recognition is very important to Wei Sijia at this time. The recognition and encouragement from other people, even Wei Mingjie and his wife, cannot solve her current situation.
There was only Wei Lan, the girl whose fate was misaligned with hers yet closely connected with hers, the girl whom she once regarded as a competitor but who later defeated her and conquered her with her absolute strength.
The recognition from Wei Lan would go straight to her heart, truly shock her, and allow her to rebuild her confidence in herself while also strengthening her original intention.
“Don’t thank me yet.” Wei Lan hurriedly stopped him, and said uncomfortably: “I haven’t seen all the audition roles yet, I’m not sure if I’ll choose you in the end!”
Wei Sijia was so moved suddenly that Wei Lan felt embarrassed and he quickly said the ugly thing to her.
"No, it doesn't matter if I wasn't chosen in the end. My trip here today wasn't in vain because of your words." Wei Sijia smiled, and her eyes swept away the previous confusion, as if they were filled with starlight.
'Ding! Wei Sijia's favorability is 15. The current favorability is above 80. The host can view Wei Sijia's current mood and historical positive mood.'
Wei Sijia's current emotion: joy and excitement.
Wei Lan was confused when he suddenly heard the system prompt and wanted to scratch his head.
Such a generous increase in favorability was all she did when she simply praised Wei Sijia, and it wasn't just a compliment out of personal affection, she really thought she had good acting skills and was quite talented.
If she had known it was so easy to win Wei Sijia's favor, she would have just flattered this girl more often!
