The two arrived at the restaurant that Song Chuci had mentioned before. Along the way, Song Chuci did not dare to tell Jiang Jiang about the interview, for fear of hurting Jiang Jiang.
Although Jiang Jiang has always been far ahead in his studies, this is the entertainment industry and it is not based on academic performance.
After the two of them sat down in the restaurant, Jiang Jiang smiled and said, "Do you look down on me so much? Are you sure I will be eliminated?"
Song Chuci was stunned. "Didn't you come out crying earlier?"
"Can't it be an audition to see if I can cry?"
"What do you mean?"
"What it means is that I passed the audition and the director has decided to let me play Jiang Sheng."
Song Chuci: “???”
He opened his mouth slightly, his eyes wide open, somewhat unbelieving what he had just heard.
His voice was a little high: "You said you passed?! The director asked you to play Jiang Sheng?!"
After he finished speaking, he realized that his voice was a bit too loud and might disturb others, so he immediately covered his mouth.
"Are you serious?"
Jiang Jiang put his hands on his chin and nodded: "Why would I lie to you? Really, the director confirmed it on the spot, and the producer said someone will contact me in the next two days to sign a contract with me."
Song Chuci's mouth was big enough to fit an egg. He was a little bit unbelievable: "Can you act? Why did they choose you so directly?"
Jiang Jiang tilted his head: "Does self-study count? Just think of me as a genius, a talent for acting, and I'll be able to do it if I study."
Song Chuci still found it hard to believe. He took out his cell phone and sent a message to the assistant director on the spot.
Not long after, the assistant director replied to him, confirming that Jiang Jiang passed the audition and would play Jiang Sheng.
Song Chuci sat paralyzed on the chair, looking at Jiang Jiang for a long time before saying, "It's not Jiang, brother. Awesome, really awesome!"
"There are so many people, but the director chose you right away. The director is Li Shun, who has won many awards internationally! Brother Jiang, you are definitely a talent! No, I will go back and talk to my parents about signing you to our company!"
Jiang Jiang did not refuse: "Okay, then I'll ask Mr. Song to take care of me in the future!"
It was clearly a meal meant to comfort Jiang Jiang, but it somehow became a celebration banquet. Both of them enjoyed the meal very much.
However, this successful audition is just the beginning for Jiang Jiang.
After Yu Si finished participating in the show and returned to the hotel to rest, he thought about the audition in the daytime and asked the system in his mind what the results would be.
She was quite confident in herself, and during the audition, she exchanged the empathy effect with the system. In other words, during the audition, she had completely become Jiang Sheng, and she could understand all of Jiang Sheng's emotions.
She paid a lot for this empathy. No matter what, she will win the leading female role in this movie!
——The role of Jiang Sheng was taken by Jiang Jiang.
Yu Si, who was removing her makeup, paused, looked disbelieving, and then screamed, "She got the leading female role? On what basis? I used empathy, how could she be better than me?"
——She also has a system.
The system's words woke Yu Si up, and Yu Si's face was full of hatred: "She also has a system, I also have a system, why can't my system compare to hers!"
——It’s not that your system is not as good as hers, but that you are not as good as hers. You are not working hard enough.
"Am I not working hard enough?" Yu Si was incredulous. You know, her schedule is notoriously tight in the entertainment industry. She only sleeps three or four hours a day. If it weren't for the system that kept her alive, she would have died of sudden death from such high-intensity work.
But even so, the system still says she is not working hard enough?
Yu Sixiang wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. She took off half of her makeup, making her look like a demon from hell.
Yu Si's assistant Xiao Wang heard Yu Si's voice and thought she was calling her, so she hurried into the bathroom. As soon as she reached the bathroom door, she saw a figure in the mirror.
In an instant, she felt her scalp go cold and a scream came out of her mouth.
It wasn't until the half-crying, half-smiling expression on Yu Si's face faded away that Xiao Wang came to his senses. It turned out that it was not a ghost, but Yu Si!
Xiao Wang immediately felt a little embarrassed: "Sister Sisi, I'm sorry, my eyes were a little blurry just now, and I didn't see the reflection in the mirror clearly, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Yu Si said coldly: "Get out," and Xiao Wang ran away in a hurry.
After Xiao Wang left, Yu Sicai began to look carefully at the person in the mirror. There was no doubt that her face was pretty now, but it always made people feel that this face was not real.
The next day, Song Chuci came to Jiang Jiang with the contract.
The contract was between Song and Jiang Jiang. Song Entertainment was a large company with a strong presence in the entertainment industry. Song Chuci originally wanted to get Jiang Jiang an A-signature, but his parents disagreed. Even if Jiang Jiang was talented and had great potential, she was still a newcomer and could not deserve Song's A-signature.
"Don't worry. Although the B-signature doesn't have as much freedom as the A-signature, I'm watching over you, so no one dares to exploit you. Also, this contract is very short, just two years. If you really make a name for yourself within two years, the Song family will definitely give you the highest treatment. If not, then just treat it as a chance to play in the entertainment industry. The contract won't have much of a constraint on you."
Jiang Jiang knew that Song Chuci was absolutely thinking about her wholeheartedly, and that he had done his best to help her. She just glanced at the relevant terms of the contract and signed it happily.
"Take another good look."
Jiang Jiang signed his name and looked up at him: "I believe you."
Song Chuci teased: "Aren't you afraid that I will sell you out?"
Jiang Jiang laughed: "Do you dare?"
Song Chuci thought of the legend about Jiang Jiang in Yude High School, and immediately felt a chill behind him: "I dare to sell anyone, but I dare not sell Brother Jiang. Brother Jiang's fighting power is not something I can withstand. Moreover, if I sell Brother Jiang, I guess everyone in Yude will come to settle accounts with me."
Song Chuci's words are not an exaggeration. Jiang Jiang enjoys a high reputation in Yude.
After signing the contract with Song's company, when Jiang Jiang signed the role contract later, people from Song's company would help her deal with it, so she could save a lot of effort.
Moreover, she signed a Class B contract with Song Corporation, which provided her with many benefits. At least after she joined the team, Song Corporation would arrange for her assistants, makeup artists, etc.
As for Jiang Jiang's agent, Song Chuci said that he would take over the job for the time being.
Jiang Jiang was naturally happy to have the young master of Song Entertainment serve as his agent.
On the third day, someone came to sign a role contract with Jiang Jiang. Because she was a newcomer, Jiang Jiang's salary was not much, but she was the leading actress, so her salary was not small either, at least much higher than that of ordinary office workers.
When Jiang Jiang saw the contract, she sighed. No wonder everyone wanted to enter the entertainment industry. Even she was tempted by such a reward.
While waiting to join the crew, Jiang Jiang practiced his acting skills in a rental house and gained a deep understanding of the entertainment industry.
Now, if there is another person in the entertainment industry standing in front of Jiang Jiang, Jiang Jiang will definitely be able to recognize that person and talk about that person’s works, the characters he played in the works, etc.
It was almost July when Jiang Jiang joined the team. During this period, she went home and filled out her college entrance examination application.
The crew was very low-key and did not do any publicity when they joined the crew, so no one knew that the show had already secretly held its opening ceremony.
As soon as Jiang Jiang joined the crew, she immediately greeted the seniors in the group. She had no previous experience, but she was the least experienced person in the entire crew.
Everyone had heard of such a leading female role a long time ago, but this was the first time they saw her. Immediately, many people came up to Jiang Jiang and talked to him.
"You are still a college student, right? Which school do you go to?"
"You have such great skin, it seems like you don't even need to put on makeup."
"Aren't you too tall? You must be just over 1.7 meters tall. With your height, it will be hard for you to date male actors in the industry."
…
Jiang Jiang was surrounded in the middle, with a smile on his face the whole time, and then he answered everyone's questions one by one.
Among these people, there are minor actors and staff members. Although these people do not have much power in the crew, they are every nail in the crew and cannot be easily offended.
When they learned that Jiang Jiang had just finished the college entrance examination and got this role by simply teaching himself acting, everyone was shocked and admired him.
"That's amazing. You must be extremely talented."
However, some people feel jealous, thinking that Jiang Jiang started from such a low point and must have gotten this role through connections.
Among them is the second female lead Lan Ruo in the play.
Lan Ruo knew her qualifications and was only suitable for playing the second female lead in a play. Plus, she had some backstage experience, so she was chosen.
She is considered a rising star. She has starred in a youth art film before, which won an award but did not do well at the box office. She is in urgent need of a high-grossing film now.
Knowing that director Lee Sun was going to shoot a new movie, she immediately turned down other announcements and rushed over.
Director Li Shun's box office success is absolutely guaranteed, and she is determined to push her own box office success up.
But who knew that in the end she would play a supporting role to a newcomer.
When Lan Ruo thought of this, she became extremely angry.
Seeing Jiang Jiang surrounded by everyone, Lan Ruo asked the assistant next to her to call Jiang Jiang over.
Jiang Jiang had just greeted Lan Ruo, so she felt a little strange when Lan Ruo asked her to come over, but she didn't refuse.
When Jiang Jiang arrived in front of Lan Ruo, she roughly understood Lan Ruo's intention of asking her to come over.
Lan Ruo was sitting in a chair, dressed very fashionably. When she saw Jiang Jiang coming, she didn't move, but just looked Jiang Jiang up and down, like an old Buddhist.
Jiang Jiang still greeted politely: "Hello, Teacher Lan Ruo, my name is Jiang Jiang, I have seen your "Green Mango", and I especially like your interpretation of Chen Qingqing."
In fact, Jiang Jiang had already asked Lan Ruo about this when he first joined the crew, but now that the two of them had a chance to be alone together, Jiang Jiang said a little more.
But Jiang Jiang's words did not make Lan Ruo feel better. She even felt that Jiang Jiang was mocking her, mocking her for being a heroine but now being reduced to a supporting role for a newcomer.
Although Lan Ruo's expression did not change, her eyes gradually turned cold. Jiang Jiang immediately noticed that Lan Ruo was in a bad mood and came up with a plan. It seemed that this Lan Ruo was not easy to get along with.
Lan Ruo didn't want to make things awkward, and immediately smiled: "Hello, I really envy you young and beautiful girls for having the opportunity to play the leading female role. When I was your age, I was still playing supporting roles! It's really true that the younger generation pushes the older generation forward."
She said it nicely, but the fact that Lan Ruo had been sitting on the chair without standing up had already made her attitude clear: she didn't like Jiang Jiang, or rather, she looked down on him.
Jiang Jiang didn't care about her attitude, but at this moment he no longer had the desire to continue chatting with Lan Ruo.
"Teacher Lan Ruo, I'm going to go put on my makeup first, so I won't bother you anymore."
After saying that, Jiang Jiang nodded slightly to Lan Ruo, then turned and left.
After Jiang Jiang walked away, Lan Ruo's expression gradually turned cold: "You are young, but you are quite capable. It seems that you did not come from a legitimate background to play this role."
Lan Ruo also heard that Jiang Jiang impressed the director with his acting skills, but she didn't believe it at all. Even if Jiang Jiang had talent, it was impossible for him to learn acting by just thinking about it.
Looking at Jiang Jiang's appearance, she felt that it was more likely that Jiang Jiang was raised by some big boss.
Jiang Jiang brought the makeup artist assigned by the company. The makeup artist was carefully selected by Song Chuci, so her skills were naturally very high. After a while, a gangster with a gaudy face painting suddenly appeared.
In the movie, Jiang Sheng is a very rebellious girl. Not only does she dress in exaggerated ways, she also uses exaggerated makeup to show her personality and to confront her parents.
Under the exaggerated makeup was Jiang Sheng's rebellious heart, and Jiang Sheng wore the exaggerated makeup for a long, long time until the end of the movie, when she revealed her true face.
In other words, Jiang Jiang never reveals his true face throughout the entire movie, and he has a fancy face throughout.
This is also why Lan Ruo did not audition for this role. She felt that it was a shame to act like a fool.
When Jiang Jiang walked up to the director with his flashy face, the director couldn't bear to look at him.
The heavy eye shadow, thick eyeliner, fly-leg-like eyelashes, and weird-colored lipstick, although not to the point of being too exaggerated, the overall combination creates a very twisted and ugly look.
"Xiao Jiang played this role, and the crew had to give her a red envelope. It was not easy. But this makeup is very suitable. You can go to the photo studio to take the makeup photos first."
Jiang Jiang smiled and said, "This is for the role. I think it's good."
After saying that, Jiang Jiang walked quickly towards the camera.
The director was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "She really sees it clearly."
The assistant director beside him also laughed: "How could he not have some talent to play Chen Wuxiang so well?"
The director nodded in agreement: "That's right."
He shouldn't underestimate Jiang Jiang just because she is young.
Jiang Jiang's facial features are already very delicate, and within this delicacy, they also have their own characteristics, so that people will not forget her face. In addition, her eyes are very dramatic. When taking the makeup photos, she did not shoot rigidly, but added Jiang's emotions.
The deepest part of stubbornness is actually the fear and distrust of the world.
After taking a set of makeup photos, even the photographer was amazed. Such expressiveness ranks among the top few among those he has photographed!
After the makeup photos were taken, the director started shooting while the iron was hot. The first day was a test shoot, where the director and the actors got to know each other.
After filming several important roles, the director had a rough idea in mind.
"Lan Ruo, your feelings are not strong enough. You need to strengthen them a little more."
Lan Ruo, who was called out, stood in the middle of the venue with an ugly look on her face. Jiang Jiang had passed in one take and was even praised by the director, but when it was her turn, she was blocked and criticized?
She stood in the middle of the field and took a few deep breaths to suppress the anger in her heart. Then she stood in her new position and started filming again.
But after a few takes, her mood just wasn't right, so the director simply stopped the filming and called her over to talk about the play.
When the director was talking about the play, Jiang Jiang was behind the camera. During that time, she looked up at Lan Ruo, and was caught by Lan Ruo.
Lan Ruo's anger, which had just subsided, rose again. She felt that Jiang Jiang was deliberately making fun of her here.
Lan Ruo shot this scene more than ten times before she got it right. When she came down from the center of the scene, she glanced at Jiang Jiang, and her hostility was obvious.
Jiang Jiang was puzzled. How had she offended Lan Ruo?
As Jiang Jiang was filming in the crew, some people initially questioned whether Jiang Jiang had a backstage, but after seeing Jiang Jiang's filming process, everyone shut up.
Because everyone can see that Jiang Jiang's acting skills are amazing, even not inferior to some of the veteran actors on the scene.
Moreover, the director has praised Jiang Jiang for his talent more than once or twice. Every time the director finished shooting a segment with Jiang Jiang, he would smile and give Jiang Jiang a thumbs up.
Because Jiang Jiang's level was high, the director's requirements for other people also increased.
Of course there is no problem for veteran actors, but it is more difficult for new actors.
They don't have the talent like Jiang Jiang, and they can't do a good job in one take, let alone interpret the role to the fullest.
In contrast, some people envied and admired Jiang Jiang, while others hated him. Among those who hated Jiang Jiang, Lan Ruo was the most famous.
Lan Ruo was not very happy to play a supporting role to Jiang Jiang in the beginning. Now, compared with Jiang Jiang, she seemed particularly bad. Lan Ruo began to hate Jiang Jiang.
Nothing happened in the first two days, but as time went on, Lan Ruo became more and more disgusted with Jiang Jiang and started thinking about how to punish her.
The incident happened in a play, in which Lan Ruo had a conflict with Jiang Jiang, and Lan Ruo wanted to pour a basin of cold water on Jiang Jiang.
Before filming, Lan Ruo asked her assistant to bribe a staff member from the props group to put something in the water.
In the play, the two are classmates, both of them are in their rebellious period, and they are sworn enemies in the class. One day, the teacher asked the class to clean up, and Jiang Sheng and Wu Jingxiang had a conflict.
The two had disliked each other for a long time, and what happened during this cleanup was just a □□.
Two rebellious teenage girls openly poked each other in the wounds.
"You country bumpkin! Why do you stand with us? You smell like a country bumpkin!"
Jiang Sheng was so angry at Wu Jingxiang's words that her body was shaking. Looking at Wu Jingxiang's smug smile in front of her, Jiang Sheng felt malicious and thought of some things she had heard.
"How good do you think you are? You were born by a mother but not raised by her! Your father doesn't want your mother anymore! Your father is with his mistress now! You..."
Before Jiang Sheng could finish his words, Wu Jingxiang picked up a basin of water from the podium and splashed it hard on Jiang Sheng's face.
Jiang Sheng didn't expect Wu Jingxiang to do this and was splashed by the basin of dirty water.
Then, everyone saw blood oozing from Jiang Jiang's face.
Someone immediately covered his mouth. The mark was quite big and it must be disfiguring!
The director naturally also saw the bloodstains on Jiang Jiang's face. He just wanted to call for a stop, but before he could say anything, Jiang Jiang touched the wound on his face, looked down at the broken glass on the ground, then raised his head and smiled maliciously at Wu Jingxiang.
"Your mother is no match for the mistress, and your father was bewitched by the mistress. You have a mother who gave birth to you but not a mother who raised you!"
Wu Jingxiang on the opposite side was completely stunned by Jiang Jiang's eyes. She thought Jiang Jiang would scream, but who knew that she just continued to act without any reaction.
"Kakaka! Send to the hospital!" The director's voice woke everyone up.
Jiang Jianghun finally relaxed, and then cried out in pain.
Jiang Jiang was sent to the hospital. The cut on her face was a bit big, so the hospital performed a suture operation directly and then she was hospitalized.
Song Chuci had already rushed over by now. Looking at Jiang Jiang lying on the bed, he felt extremely distressed: "How could you be so stupid! Your face is all scratched, but you are still acting. Don't you know? For an actor, the face is the most important thing!"
Jiang Jiang was just about to pull up the corner of her mouth to smile, but it pulled the wound on her face, and she was so painful that she dared not move.
"Don't move, don't move. Are you afraid that your face isn't ruined enough?"
Jiang Jiang obeyed and stopped moving. He didn't speak until the wound on his face was no longer painful. "It was only a few seconds late. It won't make a difference if it's a little later."
"Your face is disfigured! How can it be okay?" If Jiang Jiang wasn't lying on the hospital bed, Song Chuci might not be able to resist hitting her on the head twice.
Jiang Jiang advised: "It won't be disfigured. I'm still young and have a strong ability to recover."
Of course, the reason why she is not afraid is because she also has system rewards, such as body purification, which can completely remove the scars.
Song Chuci was not as optimistic as Jiang Jiang. His eyebrows were wrinkled together.
Jiang Jiang was injured now, so the following scenes would definitely not be filmed. Moreover, why were there glass fragments in the basin? Fortunately, it was on the face. If it had poked the eyes, Song Chuci would feel numb all over at the thought.
"Don't worry, I'm fine, right?"
Song Chuci ignored her and was silently calculating in his heart.
In the evening, the director and his team came to visit Jiang Jiang. They also learned about the injuries on Jiang Jiang's face from the doctor and they all felt a headache.
Because the leading male role has not joined the crew yet and Jiang Jiang’s scenes have not been filmed yet, there is still time to change actors.
But the director couldn't bear to part with Jiang Jiang, such a fine piece of jade. He felt sad when he thought that Jiang Jiang couldn't act in his movie.
"We have already investigated the matter and it was the fault of the props person. We have already fired him. Also, you should take good care of your wound. It is not serious and will not leave scars in the future. Don't worry."
The crew couldn't wait for Jiang Jiang to recover from her injury, so they had to give up on her and choose someone else.
Seeing that the director didn't mention the replacement, Jiang Jiang brought it up: "Are the crew planning to replace me?"
The director was a little speechless. He sighed and said, "The crew also has difficulties. I hope you can understand. But don't worry, if I have a movie in the future, I will definitely let you play the leading female role!"
What the director said was not false, he really wanted to work with Jiang Jiang.
Jiang Jiang pursed his lips and chuckled: "I don't think I can continue acting like this."
