Chapter 718: The Stepmother (22)
Gu Qian's face is indeed handsome, but his acting skills are truly nonexistent. He's just a wooden post reciting lines in perfect pronunciation. However, Wen Wan is already extremely touched that a big CEO is willing to read her lines; she dares not ask for too much more.
By the time of the audition, Wen Wan's leg had almost healed, and this time it was a dialogue scene, so there wasn't much physical work involved.
When they arrived at the audition location, in addition to the film school students, some well-known actors also came, including one or two popular actresses, and many second- and third-tier actresses.
After all, this is Andy Chan's movie, who wouldn't want this opportunity?
The other students were much more nervous. They looked at Wen Wan and found that she was calm and even had a hamburger and a bottle of cola in her hand.
"Aren't you worried?" asked a classmate who was on good terms with Wen Wan.
"I'm worried, so I've decided to eat something. Why don't you give it a try?"
Classmate: "No need, thank you. With so many people competing for one role, there's definitely no chance for us."
"It's just not the right time yet. We'll do our best. We're young, and there are endless possibilities for the future. Besides, the female lead in this movie is a college student, so we have a natural advantage, don't we?"
Classmate: That makes sense.
While Wen Wan was eating breakfast, a female celebrity walked over and said, "Oh, it's Chen Qian! I didn't expect you to audition for this role too. Why don't you just let the Gu family take the role directly instead of going through all the trouble of competing with us?"
Gu Qian swallowed the hamburger in his mouth.
“You’re right. Why should I compete with you? I can just invest directly. Director Chen once said that if someone fully invests in his film, even if it’s a piece of rotten wood, he can still make it work. I’m probably even better than rotten wood. The director might even agree.”
other side:"……"
"So what if you're rich!" She's just someone who slept with an old man.
"Are you jealous of me? It's true that being rich is great! You know I'm rich, so why are you messing with me? Which company do you work for? Maybe if I'm in a good mood, I'll acquire your company."
The other party was furious.
Then leave.
Those around were shocked. Who would openly declare their capital so clearly? And even take pride in it.
However, many people also think that the minor celebrity is stupid. Although Chen Qian herself may not be famous, she has a lot of scandals.
But she is a member of the Gu family, she has hooked up with the richest man, and her husband is dead, so why would she go and provoke him? Isn't that just asking for trouble?
The audition began soon, and Wen Wan received number thirteen.
After finishing the meal, I sat outside and closed my eyes to rest.
The actors who came out one by one didn't look too good, which put a lot of pressure on the others.
Ahead of Wen Wan is a popular young actress with both acting skills and popularity. She had a film released this year that achieved good results, but she lacks film resources and awards.
I went in and stayed for more than ten minutes longer than everyone else.
The people behind were somewhat desperate, but Xiaohua looked good, so the result was obviously good as well.
"Number 13, Chen Qian."
Wen Wan took a deep breath and then went inside in full view of everyone.
Aside from Wen Wan's classmates, almost no one thought she could stay inside for long.
Wen Wan entered the audition room, where director Chen Dehua sat in the center, and next to him was the screenwriter of the film, Jin Qi. Jin Qi and Chen Dehua are a golden duo, having collaborated on most of their works. It can be said that the screenwriter played a significant role in Chen Dehua's current success.
Next to them are the investors.
Then there were the producer, the assistant director, and some veteran actors.
There were more than a dozen people, which put a lot of pressure on people. No wonder some people broke down. Having to audition in front of such a group of people really tests a person's ability to cope.
"Let's begin," the director said.
Wen Wan closed her eyes briefly, then opened them again and quickly immersed herself in the role, becoming that character.
She practiced countless times, and the role seemed to be etched into her blood; she could even completely transform herself into that character.
Constantly experiencing the character's life is a rare opportunity for any actor, especially since Wen Wan has a natural talent for this kind of performance.
At first, Jin Qi frowned, after all, he didn't like Chen Qian.
Because she prefers actors who are genuine and straightforward, rather than those with a lot of scandals.
However, she quickly sat up straight, looking at the auditionee in front of her in surprise, and new ideas kept popping into her mind, as if the characters in her script had stepped out of the script.
The other party even seemed to have a deeper understanding of the performance, some of which Jin Qi hadn't even written down herself. Jin Qi immediately took out a pen and began to conceive the plot.
The director laughed.
Jin Qi is still the same as always; it seems Chen Qian has given her quite a surprise.
The performance was very short, lasting only five minutes, which surprised everyone present.
The director looked at her.
How do you interpret the character Chun Ya?
It's a very general question, one that even countless actors could anticipate the answer to in advance.
The female lead in this movie is named Chun Ya.
This is a story about family. Although Wen Wan has not seen the complete script, she has been able to glean some clues about the story's direction from the character biographies.
“I think she knows very well what she wants…” Wen Wan began to explain her understanding of the character, which she had gained after simulating the character’s life countless times. This feeling captivated Wen Wan.
She was originally a novelist, so she already had her own understanding of these characters.
So she knew what she was saying.
The director then asked many more questions, which Wen Wan answered calmly and confidently, without showing any nervousness. Her courage alone was admirable.
"Alright, then go back and wait for news," the director said calmly, but Wen Wan knew that if he didn't choose her, then the director was blind.
There's nothing I can do about it; she's just narcissistic and doesn't think she's any worse than anyone else.
Wen Wan bowed and left. She stayed inside for a full hour and a half, much longer than the previous one, which shocked countless auditionees. They watched her come out, trying to find clues in her expression, but Wen Wan was all smiles and showed no sign of being hurt.
Could it really be as she just said, that she invested in Director Chen's film crew and got the lead role? They were reluctant to believe that she could have stayed on for so long based on her acting skills.
Wen Wan left and went home, sleeping all day. She practically slept herself to death. Except for meals, she didn't get out of bed all day. She had been under immense mental stress and was exhausted. It was finally over.
