Chapter 27 Why are you here?
A month later, Ji Jinhe nodded as she watched Liu Yilan trying hard to follow the movements for the training exam in the practice room.
During this month, Liu Yilan practiced etiquette, micro-expressions, and on-camera demeanor, all essential for an actor, with several teachers without a single day of rest. Now, she is becoming more and more professional as a future artist.
At noon, Liu Yilan came out of the practice room sweating profusely. Her originally tired expression immediately turned into a smile when she saw Ji Jinhe.
"Sister Ji!" Liu Yilan called out respectfully after seeing Ji Jinhe, her eyes full of admiration for Ji Jinhe.
After a month of getting along, Liu Yilan and Ji Jinhe became more and more familiar with each other. She no longer addressed her with honorifics, but she still respected Ji Jinhe very much.
Ji Jinhe was very kind to her. He first funded her tuition fees, and later it was because of her that she was able to sign a contract with Jiasui.
If it weren't for Ji Jinhe, no matter how many resumes she sent to Jiahui, she might not be discovered so quickly and signed so quickly.
Liu Yilan felt that she was a lucky stone, and it was Ji Jinhe who gave her the opportunity to become a star.
Ji Jinhe nodded slightly and told Liu Yilan about the audition the day after tomorrow.
Liu Yilan didn't expect that Ji Jinhe would find audition resources for her so quickly after finding out.
Resources in the entertainment industry are limited, and so are audition resources. Some big directors' crews have to fight for audition resources to get them.
Liu Yilan didn't ask what kind of crew it was. She would be satisfied as long as there was a play for her to act in.
The audition was arranged smoothly. Liu Yilan didn't know that this script was a popular IP, otherwise after estimating her current level, she would never go.
On the day of the audition, Ji Jinhe picked up Liu Yilan and rushed to the audition site.
The number of people auditioning was not too many, but not too few either.
There were about forty people. Ji Jinhe did not investigate how many people auditioned for the role of the young lady from a noble family. She glanced at the people present and found that at least some of them were actors with some fame in the entertainment industry.
The person who acquired the film and television rights to the novel "Fan Tian" is a new director in the entertainment industry, Su Yi. The TV series he shot last year was a big hit. The adaptation was not major and was deeply loved by fans of the original novel.
Many people in the circle want to work with him.
Liu Yilan recognized quite a few people, all of whom were seniors in the circle, and she knew them more or less.
The more I watch, the more nervous I get. Is the threshold for small film crews so high now?
Liu Yilan had questioned her own abilities and the increasingly high threshold for entering the entertainment industry, but she had never questioned the resources that Ji Jinhe had chosen for her.
She secretly wiped the sweat from her palms on her pants, trying to hide her nervousness.
After collecting the number plate, Ji Jinhe came back and noticed her little action. A smile spread in his eyes. He patted her shoulder and comforted her: "Don't be nervous. Just act seriously according to your opinion of the role."
Liu Yilan turned her gaze away from a young actress and looked at Ji Jinhe, "Has Chu Jin ever failed an audition?"
Ji Jinhe was silent for a moment, then told the truth, "He has never failed. The director always chases him to sign a contract."
There was even one time when the investors wanted to insert someone to replace Chu Jin's position. The director called Yu Cheng with confidence and asked Jia Sui to invest in the crew, otherwise he would tell Ji Jinhe that Chu Jin's role was about to be replaced.
Yu Cheng didn't dare to let Ji Jinhe's subordinates, who clearly had the ability, be replaced by others because of the capitalists, so he asked someone to invest in the crew that night and become the first investor.
The director therefore determined that Ji Jinhe's background was not simple, and Jiasui was also an asset under the Qi family, and no one in the circle dared to offend her.
So he told his fellow disciples in the group that night not to mess with Chu Jin's agent.
After hearing what Ji Jinhe said, Liu Yilan became even more nervous. It was her first audition and she couldn't help but feel her legs were shaking.
"Actually, Chu Jin isn't that powerful." Seeing her nervousness, Ji Jinhe tried to divert her attention, "He's very afraid of chickens. There was a scene where he had to dance with a sword while holding a chicken, and he was so scared that he hid in his dressing room and didn't dare come out."
Liu Yilan didn't expect to hear the ugly deeds of her senior brother from the same sect, and she was a little unable to react for a moment.
Chu Jin is afraid of chickens.
Chu Jin, who looks tall and manly, and is usually sharp-tongued and arrogant, is actually afraid of chickens!
Still hiding in the dressing room and not daring to come out!
After Liu Yilan realized what was happening, she burst out laughing, and the tension in her heart disappeared.
Chu Jin, who was filming far away on the crew, didn't know that Ji Jinhe had given him a little junior sister, and he even told his own embarrassing stories to make the little junior sister happy.
Otherwise I will feel a bit overwhelmed.
After hearing Chu Jin's embarrassing story, Liu Yilan felt much more relaxed and stopped putting pressure on herself.
Ji Jinhe saw that Liu Yilan relaxed and stopped disturbing him. Being a good actor is not easy, and quickly adjusting one's mentality is an essential skill.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, it was finally Liu Yilan's turn.
"Come on!" Ji Jinhe patted Liu Yilan on the shoulder and encouraged her.
Liu Yilan nodded vigorously and followed the assistant director into the audition room.
Ji Jinhe leaned against the wall next to her waiting for her to come out. People passing by were involuntarily attracted by this girl with delicate face and outstanding temperament.
Some people on the side were whispering about which company had signed this new artist, and some even had the courage to step forward and ask for Ji Jinhe's autograph.
Ji Jinhe was photographed some time ago and became a hot topic with only her side profile exposed, so no one connected her with Chu Jin's agent.
The people in front of Liu Yilan came out quickly, but it took her twice as long as others to come out.
Ji Jinhe had a rough idea in his mind, but he didn't ask Liu Yilan how the audition went right away. He planned to go downstairs first, but when he got to the elevator, he met an acquaintance.
The people who came were Xu Jinxi and a man, followed by Yunxue.
Xu Jinxi was also surprised to see Ji Jinhe, and he did not hide the surprise on his face.
Before Xu Jinxi could say anything, Yun Xue, who was a step behind her, called out, "Liu Yilan! Why are you here?"
Xu Jinxi hadn't noticed Liu Yilan beside Ji Jinhe at first, but after Yunxue said that, she finally noticed Liu Yilan. She looked between the two of them and asked Yunxue, "Do you know her?"
"She is a poor student in our class, and she also comes from that small county town in Nanshi." Yun Xue crossed her arms with a look of disdain on her face, and fanned her nose with her hands in pretending to be disgusted.
The man beside him frowned, his tone serious and warning, "Xiaoxue, you must maintain good manners in public and don't do anything that will damage your image."
Yunxue's back stiffened after hearing what he said. She felt a little embarrassed to be called uncultured in public.
"Xue'er has a straightforward personality and is not used to being particular about small matters." Xu Jinxi tried to smooth things over in a soft voice.
"Haha, yes...Brother Yuli, I won't do this next time." Yunxue agreed awkwardly. No matter how stupid she was, she knew that she couldn't offend her agent, so she could only vent her anger on people who could afford to offend her.
"Liu Yilan, why are you here?" Yun Xue repeated the first question viciously.
"I... I came here for an audition with my agent." Liu Yilan lowered her head, not daring to look at Yunxue.
