He sighed and said to Zhou Chengfeng, "I want to act in this movie. I like this role."
"This character is really likable. Not only is the character's conception profound, but there is also a lot of room for development in the contrast between before and after the treason and the character's inner struggles. You read the script first in the next two days, and I'll go with you to the audition in a couple of days. I hope you'll be successful in the audition."
"I hope so." Ji Qingzhou said.
When Chu Cheng got home, he saw Ji Qingzhou concentrating on reading the script. He leaned forward to take a look and asked him, "Is this a new script?"
"I don't know if I can get the audition script or not."
"You are so capable, of course you can do it." Chu Cheng said without hesitation.
Ji Qingzhou propped up his head and looked at him, "This script is pretty good, the characters are good too, and it's directed by a great director like Kang Yicheng, I really don't want to miss it."
"Don't worry. So many directors have praised your acting skills before. Sheng Wenxi even wanted to sign you to his company so that he could let you act in his movie. You will be fine."
"Then if I succeed in the audition, I will treat you to a meal."
"Okay." Chu Cheng rubbed his hair. If Ji Qingzhou didn't pass the audition, he would go to the director to see if he could give Ji Qingzhou another audition opportunity. It was rare for him to have a role that he liked so much. If possible, Chu Cheng still hoped that he could play it.
With this kind of apprehensive and expectant mood, Ji Qingzhou and Zhou Chengfeng went to the audition location sent by Director Assistant Kang Yicheng two days later. He had never met Director Kang before, and this was the first time he met him, so he greeted Director Kang very politely.
Director Kang is already over 50 years old, with a slightly plump figure and a fondness for laughter, looking very kind. Ji Qingzhou spoke to him for a few words and found that although he is a big director, he speaks in a humble manner, which unconsciously eased the tension in his heart.
They chatted for a while, and Director Kang asked the makeup artist and stylist to take him in to try out the styling first. When they came out again, Director Kang's eyes lit up. He looked at the young general in front of him and couldn't believe that this was the person he had just talked to.
Ji Qingzhou's temperament has obviously changed.
Ji Qingzhou knew that Director Kang was satisfied with his look when he saw the change in his eyes. He had figured out Chen Mu'ai's psychology for a long time before coming here. Therefore, when he changed into clothes and put on makeup, he naturally put himself into the role of Chen Mu'ai. When he looked at Director Kang again, he was not acting as the actor Ji Qingzhou, but as the young general Chen Mu'ai.
This was a simple matter for him. He didn't even realize the change in his temperament, but Director Kang saw it clearly, so he was very surprised. He looked at Ji Qingzhou and became more and more satisfied. Ji Qingzhou had a young face. Even though he was 18 years old, he looked like a college student. Such a young face not only fits the character in the play, but also makes the audience sigh when the truth is revealed in the end.
Director Kang selected a scene in the play and asked him to start performing.
Ji Qingzhou did not hesitate and performed on the spot. After the one-man show, Director Kang had almost decided on him. At Kang Yicheng's age, he always appreciates and encourages the rise of new generation of outstanding actors. After Ji Qingzhou's audition, he patted Ji Qingzhou on the shoulder and said to him, "Keep up, you are very talented in this area. Don't waste your talent, work hard."
"I will." Ji Qingzhou said respectfully.
Director Kang smiled and nodded with satisfaction, "Go back and have a good rest these few days. The filming will start in a few months, and it will be hard work."
This was basically a clear indication. Ji Qingzhou looked at him in surprise, and did not dare to ask more questions. He just could not suppress the joy in his eyes and said to him, "Thank you, Director. I will work hard."
Director Kang said nothing more, waved his hand and let him leave.
Ji Qingzhou was so excited that he could hardly control himself and kept asking Zhou Chengfeng, "Director Kang's words should mean that I'm the one, right? Did I understand correctly?"
Zhou Chengfeng rarely saw him so worried, so he laughed and said, "Yes, yes, you've asked me eight hundred times, so I think it's you."
"What if he meets an actor he is more satisfied with later?" Ji Qingzhou couldn't help but think, "After all, the audition isn't over yet."
"No." Zhou Chengfeng is more optimistic than him. "In order to fit the age of the actors in this audition, the actors must be between 16 and 18 years old. In this age group, they must have good acting skills, a good image, and a schedule. They can't overlap with other projects. So there's not much room for choice."
"That's good." Ji Qingzhou said with emotion, "I hope I can get this role smoothly."
"You seem to really like this role." Zhou Chengfeng said with emotion.
The author has something to say: The prototype of this script is a script in my article "Entertainment Circle in the Tang Dynasty" ("One Hundred Ways to Conquer Li Bai") a long time ago. I really like the idea of this script, but that article is very, very, very unpopular, so I modified it and rewrote it. That article was really written too early, it's been a year, and now it's given to me to rewrite, I probably can make it more interesting, hahaha~
There is one more chapter~
