Chapter 192 She has a background, I have strength
Hu Xiaoxiao didn't know what Yuna was keeping secret, but it didn't affect her. She found a seat and sat down, waiting patiently.
The male artists next to him were all acquaintances, two or three of them were Charlie's men, and they started chatting with Hu Xiaoxiao.
"Xiaoxiao, Xia Lu just went in. She's also competing for the role of Xie Weihua. She's familiar with Director Qi, and I heard Xiu had already contacted Director Qi about giving her a key role. Although your image is suitable, you'll be at a disadvantage in terms of personal connections. I guess it'll be hard for you to compete with Xia Lu."
Hu Xiaoxiao said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter. She has a background and I have strength. Who wins and who loses? No one dares to call themselves the winner until the last moment."
Seeing Hu Xiaoxiao's confidence, several male artists, while agreeing with him psychologically, didn't see it that way in reality. In television, sometimes talent isn't the most important thing; connections are. As long as the connections are strong, talent isn't that important. After so many years at the station, they've seen it all.
I didn't see a total of less than ten people auditioning. Could it be that they were able to audition because they have good acting skills and a suitable image? Is the company short of artists with good acting skills and a good image?
Hu Xiaoxiao agrees with some of their views, but also disagrees with some of their overly one-sided views. To do something well, one should not rely on just one aspect, but on all aspects.
They only see her confidence, but don't know the hard work behind it.
She is Hu Xiaoxiao, not anyone else, so other people's experiences are not suitable for her.
While chatting, the door of the audition room was opened, and Xia Lu walked out with a smile on her face, looking relaxed and happy.
It can be seen that her audition was very successful and she had a good grasp of the situation.
This was the first time Hu Xiaoxiao saw Xia Lu in person. The Xia Lu he had seen before was from TV drama videotapes, and those TV dramas were filmed several years ago, and there were obvious differences between her and the current Xia Lu.
Xia Lu is no longer as childish as before. She is more mature and calm, but also less spiritual.
But she is still very beautiful, especially when wearing a cheongsam, she is very charming and gives people the feeling of a woman from old Shanghai.
Xia Lu came out and saw Hu Xiaoxiao at first sight.
Voted by the media as the most beautiful Miss Hong Kong in history, she was the first to receive the Hong Kong government's designation as a charity ambassador. Her starring roles in increasingly popular TV series have earned her the distinction of being the fastest-to-debut actress at T.H.O.V. She's also been the subject of numerous scandals, with her alleged affairs involving wealthy sons, executives, and popular young actors, all of whom are either wealthy or beautiful.
Xia Lu had seen Hu Xiaoxiao's photos in magazines and newspapers. She was stunned by her beauty just by looking at the photos. Now that she saw her in person, she was even more beautiful, so beautiful that it made her feel ashamed.
She is younger and more beautiful than her, and in terms of image...Hu Xiaoxiao's dress and temperament are even more like a socialite than hers.
The crisis in Xia Lu's heart was stronger than ever, even stronger than the poor box office performance she experienced in the film industry.
She returned to the TV station, ambitiously wanting to regain her position as a top-tier actress, but with the stylish Youna in front of her and the aggressive Hu Xiaoxiao behind her, how can she regain her position as a top-tier actress?
Rely on connections!
Yes, she still has connections, the connections Xiu left for her.
When Xia Lu looked at Hu Xiaoxiao again, her eyes had regained their composure. She raised her head and walked past Hu Xiaoxiao.
After Xia Lu left, Hu Xiaoxiao asked several male artists if they wanted to go in first because they had arrived before her.
"You should go." Several male artists said politely.
Anyway, they are not her competitors, so it makes no difference whether they come first or later.
Hu Xiaoxiao didn't refuse and stood up, "Then I'll go in first."
Pushing open the door of the audition room, Hu Xiaoxiao walked in gracefully.
"Hello everyone, I'm Xie Weihua, I'm 23 years old, and I just returned from studying in France..."
Hu Xiaoxiao confidently introduced her role to the director and several judges. At that moment, she thought she was Xie Weihua.
The director and the judges all raised their heads and looked at the woman who came in.
She walked up to them in a dress from half a century ago, elegant and exquisite, as beautiful and brilliant as a rose in full bloom.
When she started speaking, her conversation and temperament were very much like those of a woman of that era.
Director Qi and several judges couldn't help but watch her every move in a trance, as if they could see through her into that era of war and extravagance.
"You are... Hu Xiaoxiao? Please sit down."
After Hu Xiaoxiao finished introducing himself, the director looked at the information in his hand, then looked at Hu Xiaoxiao in surprise.
Hu Xiaoxiao's practiced manners, every gesture revealing the unique aura of a Shanghainese socialite, led her to sit down before the director. Confident in herself, she appeared exceptionally relaxed, and this relaxed air gave her the dignified elegance of a socialite.
The director and the judges mistakenly thought that the person sitting in front of them was not an artist, but a real lady from old Shanghai.
"Hello Director Qi, I am Hu Xiaoxiao. It's a pleasure to meet you, and I'm even more honored to play an important role in your crew. I believe I won't let you down." Hu Xiaoxiao said confidently and generously.
The director admired the beautiful and confident woman and said, "I've read your information and watched the TV series you've starred in. Your fight scenes are very beautiful. I think you are very suitable for the role of An Baojuan. I'm sure you also know An Baojuan. She is a woman who mixes in the city and the underworld. There are many fighting scenes, which require a certain level of skill. Hu Xiaoxiao, if you play this role, you can handle it very well."
Hu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh. "I'm surprised that Director Qi said that. I thought someone who said that was a new director."
"Why do you say that?" Director Qi heard that Hu Xiaoxiao's words implied a hint of belittling him.
Hu Xiaoxiao said, "First-rate directors train actors, legendary directors make actors successful. Only mediocre or inexperienced new directors would rely on actors. Director Qi saw that I played the role of Jianghu woman well, so you used my experience in portraying Jianghu woman to help your work. This is really not the behavior of a legendary director, and it also makes you seem unprofessional."
Qi Weiming didn't know if he was irritated by Hu Xiaoxiao or what, but he laughed out loud, "According to what you said, what should I do to be professional?"
"Of course, you let me play a role I've never played before, and then you train me to be successful. That's how you show off your ability, skill, and professionalism."
"That makes sense." Qi Weiming nodded and said, "I agree with you. You should play Yamamoto Masako. Yamamoto Masako is Japanese, and you have never played a Japanese person before. This is a good opportunity for you to create a different role. I also believe that I have the ability to play your role well."
