Chapter 51 Ruan Qi is not allowed to audition
The next morning, Shen Wenqian drove to pick up Ruan Qi.
"Have you read the script? How's your line memorization?"
"Well...it's okay." Ruan Qi nodded.
Shen Wenqian looked at her hesitantly, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything to hurt her.
"Oh, Brother Chen," Ruan Qi suddenly remembered something, "Teacher Fang's class today..."
Shen Wenqian: "My acting class is at 1:00 PM, so it doesn't conflict with the audition. Don't worry about it, I'll take care of it."
Ruan Qi didn't ask any more questions and just read the script attentively.
…
Holiday Inn, conference room on the 28th floor, the audition location for "Tianya".
Director Wu Huai sat in the middle, with the assistant director, producer, and the male and female leads sitting on his left and right respectively.
"The performance on the 12th is over. Go back and wait for notification."
Before the next actor entered the stage, Wu Huai impatiently threw his pen on the table.
"What kind of people are these! Are they actors or just wooden ones? I want the enchanting and fierce Jade Lady! Not the coquettish and droopy-eyed vixen!"
"Wasn't Liu Yan pretty good before? Her acting was good." said the screenwriter.
Wu Huai: "Bullshit! How can you praise her acting skills? It's just a routine performance, only good enough to appease the directors of idol dramas!"
The screenwriter waved his hand with a gloomy face. "Alright, don't be angry. Aren't there still several tests left to be tried? Quick, let number 13 in."
…Five minutes later, the screenwriter banged his head on the table in despair.
The assistant director looked at him and Wu Huai and shook his head speechlessly.
"I told you all at the beginning that the character of Madam Yu was too idealistic, but you two didn't believe me. Look at this character profile."
He held up the script and read word by word, "Four parts allure, two parts amorousness, two parts ruthlessness, one part tenderness, and one part despair. You guys are frying steak! Do you want it medium rare?"
Wu Huai scratched his hair irritably and turned to look at the person next to him, "Lao Fang, what do you think of that just now?"
Fang Tong expressionlessly put a big X on the data sheet and coldly commented: "It's terrible. Three years of fantasy dramas have been wasted."
"Call the next one." The assistant director glanced at the data sheet. "Number 14... Eh? Ruan Qi? Is this girl Shen Wenqian's artist? Teacher Fang, you should know her, right?"
When Fang Tong heard the word "Ruan Qi", his brows suddenly frowned.
He opened the last sheet of information, and the photo was of Ruan Qi's clean and pretty face.
Fang Tong's face darkened. "Why is she on the audition list?"
"Oh, this little girl," the casting director glanced at the information and said casually, "This girl is quite special. Mr. Wang from Chinese Film and Television personally called and asked her to come in yesterday."
Fang Tong's face turned cold: "She wants the role of Madam Yu?"
"No." The casting director shook his head. "Mr. Wang said she just wanted an audition. After all, the Chinese are the biggest investors, so I couldn't refuse, so I agreed."
"What's wrong, Lao Fang? Is there something wrong with this girl?" Wu Huai asked.
"That's a big problem." Fang Tong sneered. "She's a latecomer, with no acting experience. She was late for class on the first day and had a nonchalant attitude. I was wondering where she got all the swagger from, but it turns out she's got some Chinese film and television backing."
Wu Huai frowned when he heard this.
"Shen Wenqian has always had good taste. Why would he sign an artist like this? Never mind," he picked up Ruan Qi's profile and threw it into the trash can. "A newcomer with this attitude won't be able to perform anything good. Let her go back."
——*——*——
Outside the meeting room.
Ruan Qi sat on the chair, and Shen Wenqian stood aside and kept looking inside.
At this time, the door of the conference room opened.
The assistant director came out and said, "Number 15, go in for the audition."
"Number 15?"
Shen Wenqian looked at the '14' on Ruan Qi's number plate in surprise, and quickly ran over to stop the assistant director.
"Brother, let me ask, number 14 hasn't auditioned yet, how come it's number 15's turn?"
