She looked confused, as if she didn't understand.
Jiang Zhonglin revealed his identity: "Little girl, I'm a director. I think you have a good appearance. Do you want to give it a try?"
acting? Wen Ruo shook his head without hesitation.
It's a pity that they didn't want to try such good conditions. Jiang Zhonglin was not satisfied with the extras in the first place. Although they just showed their faces and said a few words, he always felt that it was a flaw. But it was not worth hiring professional actors for this purpose, so he thought for a moment and asked, "Have you heard of the play "The Immortal Road"?"
Before filming began, the investors had already used various media to promote it. In addition, the original novel was very popular, so high ratings can be expected in the future.
"Are you the director of "The Immortal Road"? " Wen Ruo was surprised.
Seeing her eyes light up, Jiang Zhonglin thought, this temptation is big enough!
Unexpectedly, Wen Ruo was not shaken, and just said: "I have a friend who plays a fox demon in it."
Zhou Qingni?
The young actress who had just signed with Yuexing had no experience. When she heard that she was going to audition, many people were dismissive of her, but she thought it was feasible. His intuition has always been accurate. He thought Zhou Qingni was very suitable to play the fox demon. After the audition, she performed better than actors who graduated from professional schools.
The director immediately decided on Zhou Qingni.
The little girl turned out to be her friend. Jiang Zhonglin smiled and said, "Since your friend is also involved, why don't you take part as well? This role is not difficult. You only need to show up once and say a few words."
Wen Ruo refused: "You should find someone else. I can't act."
"Playing her true self, no acting required." That's how she is now.
Wen Ruo still didn't want to.
Jiang Zhonglin had no choice but to give up.
Wen Ruo returned to the lounge. Zhou Qingni was already ready, but Zhang Jiahui was not there. Zhou Qingni sneered, "Where has this girl been chasing after stars? She said she came to watch me filming, and I believed her." She held Wen Ruo's hand and said, "You are the best. You are sincere to me."
Wen Ruo:......
Half an hour later, Zhang Jiahui came back, holding her phone as if she was holding a big baby: "I took a photo with my husband!"
Zhou Qingni rolled her eyes.
Wen Ruo leaned over to look and saw Zhang Jiahui standing on the left side of Xie Qinglin, her face red and smiling like a fool.
She suddenly remembered what Lu Xingyun said, that those who chase stars are fools.
Why did he say that? Didn’t he know the drama “Deep in the Sunshine” and even knew the name of the actor who played the male lead? But she didn’t know anything!
Wen Ruo was very strange.
Finally it was Zhou Qingni's turn to perform, while Zhang Jiahui and Wen Ruo stood in the distance and watched.
Since it was not an indoor scene that required the scene to be cleared, they really had a treat for their eyes.
The male lead, Xie Qinglin, wore a white robe and looked ethereal. He played Jing Xiao, the son of the Emperor of Heaven. Zhang Jiahui held her face and stared at Xie Qinglin, infatuated. Wen Ruo saw it all and didn't know whether to be happy for her or feel sorry for her.
It’s so tiring to like someone, especially if you like a male celebrity and it takes a lot of effort to meet him. Wen Ruo thought that she was still lucky, as she could see Lu Xingyun five times a week, and six times if she worked overtime.
Zhang Jiahui nudged Wen Ruo: "Have you noticed that he doesn't look photogenic? He's much more handsome in person than on TV!"
"Yeah!" Wen Ruo agreed with her.
This is a tragic play. The fox demon sacrificed her thousand-year-old cultivation to save Jing Xiao, but she took the life of a heavenly soldier to heal her wounds. Jing Xiao was unaware of the truth and chased her for thousands of miles. When Jing Xiao injured her, she felt resentful and sad, but she was too proud to tell the truth...
After thoroughly understanding the script, Zhou Qingni passed it after just two takes.
Wen Ruo was extremely impressed and thought to herself that the director had asked her to act in the role, so how could she possibly be competent?
"Qing Ni will definitely be a big hit," Zhang Jiahui rubbed her hands, "Ruoruo, we have to hold on to her golden thigh! Oh, no, I'm going to quit my job now and become her agent!"
Wen Ruo: ...Be more rational.
In the evening, Zhou Qingni invited them to dinner at a hot pot restaurant near the film and television city.
Looking at the table full of dishes, Zhang Jiahui's mouth twitched: "Aren't you afraid of getting fat? Control yourself, sister!"
"I've always eaten like this," Zhou Qingni said proudly, "I'll never gain weight even if I eat till I die."
"Don't say that again, or the other actresses will beat you to death."
Zhou Qingni laughed out loud.
"Have you decided on a place to live?" she asked.
"It's booked. We've booked the Grand Hyatt Hotel." While in the car, Zhang Jiahui made the reservation in advance using her mobile phone.
"Not bad. If you haven't made a date yet, just come and meet me." Zhou Qingni put her arm around Wen Ruo's shoulders. "Let's have a good chat. For example, about the man you dated last time..."
"What?" Zhang Jiahui was choked, "Ahem, Ruoruo, do you have a boyfriend?"
"No, no." Wen Ruo was also choked and coughed several times. He quickly drank some juice to calm himself down. "It was a colleague!"
"Why are you blushing, colleague?" Zhang Jiahui's gossipy heart was burning. "Tell me the truth, what's your colleague's name, what's his position, and when did he start?"
Wen Ruo:......
She would never tell them even if she was beaten to death.
"Oh, you're still pretty stubborn!" Zhang Jiahui hugged her and called Zhou Qingni, "Do it to her and see if she will give in."
The three were playing around when Zhou Qingni's phone rang.
She glanced at the screen, answered the call, and as she listened, her eyes went straight to Wen Ruo's face, then she said, "Okay, I'll try my best to persuade her."
"What's wrong?" Zhang Jiahui keenly sensed that something was wrong.
"Ruoruo, did you run into our assistant director before?" Zhou Qingni smiled, "You didn't tell us."
"There's nothing to say."
"You still say there's nothing to say?" Zhou Qingni shook her head. Her friend was really naive. She was not tempted by such a good opportunity. "Jiahui, our assistant director wants her to play a role. Do you think I should persuade her?"
"Really?" Zhang Jiahui almost jumped up, "Of course I have to persuade him, your assistant director has a keen eye for talent."
Wen Ruo frowned: "I'm not some kind of pearl."
Even if it is, it is just a stupid bead, how can it act well?
“I can’t act.”
If it was someone else who called, Zhou Qingni would not have advised, but it was Jiang Zhonglin. This person has always admired me and has good taste. The fact that he likes Wen Ruo means that Wen Ruo is really suitable. She had read the entire script before. The little lotus fairy was a very low-level fairy in the heaven, but she was kind-hearted. When she saw the heroine being bullied and injured by the god, she stepped forward to speak a few words on her behalf, but was unexpectedly beaten to death by the god with a palm. The heroine felt that the heaven was even more cruel and ruthless and wanted to leave.
Xiao Hexian had very few scenes, but at least she showed her face. Many extras wanted to play for her. Zhou Qingni said, "Ruoruo, our assistant director is very sincere. He said that after thinking about it, he felt that you are the most suitable. In fact, you don't need to be so stressed..." As she spoke, she saw Wen Ruo showing a resistance, and suddenly sighed, "Forget it, if you don't want to, then don't act. It's just a small supporting role, it's not interesting."
Wen Ruo really didn't want to do that, but when Zhou Qingni stopped trying to persuade her, she suddenly wondered if this would be bad for Zhou Qingni.
He was the assistant director. Zhou Qingni was just a newcomer. The assistant director called her specifically to ask for help, but she didn't take it seriously at all. I don't know if this will affect her future.
"How about..." Wen Ruo said, "I'll go give it a try?"
"Really?" Zhou Qingni was surprised, "Are you really willing?"
"Yeah!" Wen Ruo thought, once she started acting, the assistant director would understand that she was not cut out for acting, so Zhou Qingni wouldn't be considered as having failed to help.
Zhang Jiahui was extremely excited and asked hurriedly: "What is this play? How many lines are there? At least three lines, right?"
Please don't be the smallest extra with no memorable points.
"It's OK. I guarantee someone will remember you." Zhou Qingni said, "I'll send you the background of the lines later. You can come and meet our assistant director tomorrow."
You don’t need to read the whole script, just a few sentences.
Wen Ruo nodded.
At night, Zhang Jiahui and Wen Ruo were waiting for their lines in the room.
Zhou Qingni sent it over very quickly. Zhang Jiahui glanced at it and said, "Tsk tsk, there are really only three lines... But it's OK. Many extras don't have a single line. What's worse is that they just act like corpses when they go up there."
Wen Ruo:......
The three sentences were not difficult and she remembered them immediately.
Zhang Jiahui encouraged her: "If the assistant director takes a fancy to you, he will definitely approve you, otherwise why would he bother to call?"
Wen Ruo doesn't believe it.
However, what Zhang Jiahui said really came true. She just recited the lines casually, and Jiang Zhonglin decided to play the role. He also told her to come for the filming next Wednesday.
Wen Ruo was stunned. It was only after Zhang Jiahui pushed her that she said she wanted to go to work.
Knowing that he had wasted her time, Jiang Zhonglin offered compensation.
When she heard that she would be paid 1,000 yuan, Wen Ruo quickly waved her hands and said, "No need, I only get 200 yuan a day." Including travel expenses, it would only be 300 yuan. Besides, she was helping Zhou Qingni, not this assistant director.
This is exactly like Xiao Hexian herself. Jiang Zhonglin smiled and said, "We'll talk about this later. Remember to come."
He felt that Wen Ruo could definitely do it.
Since he had agreed, Wen Ruo couldn't go back on his word and thought it shouldn't be difficult to take a day off.
After returning, she told Wen Lixin and his wife about this.
Ji Yun was very surprised and happy: "Even if it's just three lines, it's still a part! Ruoruo, you have to act well, and then I'll let your grandmother and aunt watch it..."
Wen Ruoji: "What can you see from just three sentences?"
Ji Yun wanted to go with them, but was stopped by Wen Lixin: "You are not a three-year-old child, nor the protagonist. What will it look like if you go? Aren't you afraid that Ruoruo will be embarrassed? Don't go. The restaurant is also busy."
Dad always plays a role at critical moments, Wen Ruo is very grateful.
It is indeed similar to being an extra. Anyway, Zhou Qingni is there. The little girl is only a few months older than my daughter, but she is like an older sister and will definitely take good care of my daughter. Ji Yun thought about it and decided to let it go, but he still reminded Wen Ruo not to act rashly.
Zhang Jiahui called on Monday night and said, "I'll take a day off on Wednesday too. I'll drive you to Anxiang."
Wen Ruo:......
"How could I miss you acting? I'd go watch it even if there was a tornado. I want to be your agent!"
She just went to say three sentences, what agent? Wen Ruo was speechless.
"Of course, I'll go see my husband by the way." Zhang Jiahui sent a smiling face.
Wen Ruo: This is indeed the main reason, right?
On Tuesday, Wen Ruo asked for leave from Lu Xingyun.
This was the first time she had taken leave after two months of work.
Lu Xingyun must ask the reason.
"Something happened." Wen Ruo replied.
Lu Xingyun smiled. Who would ask for leave if there was nothing to do? He looked up at Wen Ruo: "What exactly is it?"
Generally, people ask for leave because of sickness or because something happens at home with their parents or relatives. Lu Xingyun wanted to know Wen Ruo's reason.
This matter is very complicated, and Wen Ruo didn't know how to explain it: "Manager, can you count it as sick leave for me? You can deduct one day's salary from me." Since he didn't go to the hospital, there was no proof.
"Count it as sick leave?" Lu Xingyun thought, that means he is not sick, why would he ask for leave when he is fine and why is he trying to cover it up?
"Is there something wrong with your family?" He looked a little serious. "Tell me about it."
"No, everything is fine at home!" Wen Ruo said hurriedly, "Nothing happened." She didn't want any trouble to happen at home at all.
Since she is not sick and her family is doing well, why does she need to take leave?
The less Lu Xingyun said, the more curious he became. He walked up to Wen Ruo and said, "If you don't explain clearly, I won't approve you."
"Ah..." She originally thought it was not difficult. She originally thought Lu Xingyun was very enthusiastic. Wen Ruo was a little confused.
"What's your secret?" Lu Xingyun leaned on the desk, his hands folded across his chest. "This is not it, and that is not it. Are you going to do something unspeakable? Rob a bank?"
Wen Ruo:......
How is that possible! Wen Ruo had to explain: "No, I went to ask for An Xiang."
"Anxiang?" Lu Xingyun raised his eyebrows. "What are you going to do in Anxiang?"
"I went to help a friend. She was filming there. There was a small role and the director said it was suitable for me... but it was just three sentences, and I came back after that."
Filming? Lu Xingyun never expected this and was silent for a moment: "What crew?"
"The Immortal Road."
I've heard of it, it seems to be adapted from a fantasy novel.
Lu Xingyun looked at Wen Ruo again: "Just one day, right?"
"A day and a half at most."
The reason had been made clear, so Lu Xingyun did not ask any more questions: "Okay, since you are going to help your friend, I will approve it for you..." After a pause, he said, "Is your friend a boy or a girl?"
Wen Ruo was stunned: "Female."
Lu Xingyun didn't ask any more questions.
But for some reason, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
The next day at work, when he saw Wen Ruo's empty office, the feeling became even worse. Lu Xingyun turned on the computer and searched for "The Immortal Road". A very eye-catching content appeared on the screen.
The final makeup photo of Xie Qinglin, the male lead of "The Immortal Road", was exposed, and netizens called him "the immortal brother".
Lu Xingyun looked at the photo coldly and closed the webpage after a moment.
He said he was going to film a movie, but I'm afraid he was going to chase stars!
The author has something to say: Author: So sour~
Lu Xingyun: ...
