Chapter 156 The Coal Boss's Dark Moonlight 24
On Wednesday afternoon, Shen Xinran was in the dance studio, rehearsing intently with the girls in the dance troupe. Their movements were light and graceful.
At this moment, a middle-aged man suddenly walked past the door of the dance studio. His eyes were attracted by the group of dancing girls, and his pace gradually slowed down.
When he saw Shen Xinran's face clearly, his eyes shone with enthusiasm. He then walked in quickly and asked Shen Xinran anxiously, "Little girl, I'm preparing a movie called Shao Hua. I think you're very suitable to be the heroine in it. Do you want to try it out?"
Shen Xinran knew that this was Zhao Shiqian's chance. She nodded and smiled faintly, "Sure."
Meanwhile, Jiang Ying, having received word in advance that the director was coming to cast her, was still rehearsing on stage. Her forehead was slightly sweaty, her eyes filled with determination.
She was the mainstay of the drama troupe, and she was convinced that the director would choose no one else but her. Jiang Ying had already begun to envision the glorious days of becoming a big star.
The other girls had already finished rehearsing and were taking a break. They watched Jiang Ying acting on stage, lost in thought. One of the girls curled her lips and muttered softly, "What's wrong with her? Why doesn't she take a break?"
At this time, another girl came in with a cup of water. "Have you heard? A director came to our group to select roles, and I heard that he fell in love with Zhao Shiqian at first sight."
The girl's words stunned Jiang Ying on the stage. She widened her eyes, her face full of astonishment, and then rushed out of the drama troupe desperately.
The captain yelled after her, "What are you doing? You're rehearsing during the break, and then you're resting again during the rehearsal."
But Jiang Ying's mind was full of the fact that his heroine had been kidnapped, and he turned a deaf ear to the captain's shouts.
Jiang Ying ran breathlessly to the entrance of the dance troupe and happened to see Shen Xinran seeing off a middle-aged man. Her eyes lit up, and she ran forward without hesitation and quickly introduced herself: "Hello, Director, I'm Jiang Ying from the drama troupe. Please consider me as well. I'm no worse than Zhao Shiqian."
However, the director only took a quick glance and shook his head: "No, your hair color is too bright, it doesn't match the image of the heroine in my mind."
Jiang Ying was stunned. She looked up at Shen Xinran and found that Shen Xinran had regained his black hair without anyone noticing.
Jiang Ying argued eagerly. "Director, don't be fooled by her. I'm the mainstay of the troupe. I'm the one best suited for acting."
The director frowned and asked, "But my movie needs dance elements. Can you dance?"
Jiang Ying bit her lip, her eyes filled with reluctance. "I don't know how to do it, but I can learn. Besides, I can dye my hair back."
The director shook his head and insisted on his choice: "No, you don't fit my idea of a heroine."
Jiang Ying looked at Chen Xinran with a mad look in her eyes, gritting her teeth as she said, "You must have done this on purpose! You learned the news in advance, tricked the girls in the troupe into getting their hair done, and then restored it to its original state before the director arrived."
Shen Xinran was stunned by Jiang Ying's indiscriminate accusations. How bored must she be to have planned this drama half a year ago?
It was Jiang Ying's crazy look that caught the director's eye. "I have a role that suits you, but it's not the female lead, just a supporting role. Are you okay with that?"
Jiang Ying nodded quickly, "I can. I can act in anything, and I'm no worse than Zhao Shiqian."
Seeing Jiang Ying being compared with Shen Xinran all the time, the director frowned, but this was indeed the effect he wanted.
The movie "Time" tells the story of a group of young girls in their youth and their life and emotional experiences in an art troupe.
This is also one of the main reasons why the director went to the art troupe to select roles, because this will also be the filming location of Shao Hua.
Shen Xinran plays a country girl who, after going through untold hardships, finally gets admitted into the art troupe. However, life in the troupe is not as good as she imagined.
She was bullied in the art troupe, but she always maintained her kindness and hope for life. Later, she met an upright and kind man, and the two joined hands to spend the rest of their lives together.
Jiang Ying plays a supporting female character who has a crush on the male lead. She is jealous of the female lead and tries to trip her up.
The moment Shen Xinran got the script, he had to suppress his laughter. This director is really good at judging people!
That night, after dinner, Shen Xinran sat on the sofa and watched TV. She kept adjusting her sitting position, but no matter how she sat, she felt uncomfortable and couldn't help complaining, "What kind of sofa is this? It's too hard!"
Zhou Yaoqi couldn't help laughing when he heard her complaining: "You forgot, you insisted on buying this sofa."
Shen Xinran grumbled, pretending to be angry: "Are you being mean to me?"
Zhou Yaoqi quickly waved his hands, "I dare not, I dare not."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xinran immediately stood up and said in a serious tone, "You don't dare, not that you don't want to. I know that all men are bad."
After Shen Xinran finished speaking, he ran upstairs and announced as he ran: "I'm angry, so I decided that I will sleep in a separate room from you tonight."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yaoqi hurried after her. Before Shen Xinran could close the door, he used his leg to block it. "It's okay to be angry, but sleeping in separate rooms is a bit too much!"
Shen Xinran's eyes widened instantly, "Okay, you actually still want to make me angry, how can a mouth with a temperature of 37.5 degrees say such cold and heartless words, I know you don't have me in your heart!"
After Shen Xinran finished speaking, he snorted coldly, pushed Zhou Yaoqi's legs out, and closed the door of the room.
Zhou Yaoqi knocked on the door gently and shouted half-jokingly, "But I don't have a quilt. I'll catch a cold."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the room was suddenly opened, and a pair of shorts was thrown out along with the quilt.
Zhou Yaoqi: “…”
That night, Shen Xinran, by being unreasonable, successfully enjoyed her first double bed after marriage. She tossed and turned in bed, not to mention how comfortable it was.
Even though she needed to go filming the next day, she was still in high spirits, causing the director to praise her repeatedly, "Shi Qian, you look good today."
This made Jiang Ying, who was standing by, extremely jealous. If she were to play the female lead, she would definitely do better than Shen Xinran.
But when Shen Xinran came back at noon, she was surprised to find that the sofa in the living room had been replaced with a soft leather sofa. She looked at Zhou Yaoqi and asked, "When did you change it?"
Zhou Yaoqi handed Shen Xinran a glass of water and said nonchalantly, "This morning."
Shen Xinran took the water, took a sip, and then asked, "Where's the old sofa?"
Zhou Yaoqi smiled and replied, "They moved them to the old house."
Seeing Shen Xinran's satisfied look, Zhou Yaoqi took the opportunity to ask flatteringly, "Can I go back to my room and sleep now?"
Shen Xinran raised his chin and smiled proudly, "It's only the first day, why are you in such a hurry? I finally have a big room to sleep in by myself, can't you let me enjoy it for a while!"
Zhou Yaoqi fell into silence. He looked at Shen Xinran for a while, then looked at the two rooms upstairs, as if he was thinking about something important.
