After a long time, the applause gradually died down. Lin Kuisheng looked at the girl in front of him who remained true to herself despite being praised by others, and he felt satisfied no matter how he looked at her.
One wonders if he could have decided who the female lead would be through insider information, he would have made the decision long ago.
However, Lin Kuisheng's crew is different from others. Decisions are never made by sponsors or producers, and there has never been a situation where someone is suddenly inserted to steal someone else's role, because he himself is the epitome of authority, and naturally he does not need to consider the opinions of capital.
Generally speaking, if he and the editor both like someone, then the probability of that person being selected is more than 50%, and the remaining half is decided by other assistant directors.
The screenwriter's thigh was pinched so hard it hurt. Maintaining a straight face, he moved the man's hand aside and then asked the girl in front of him as if nothing had happened, "Have you ever studied acting systematically?"
Yu Zhi shook her head.
Qin Siyuan did think of finding a teacher to teach her acting, but she refused.
It’s not that this method is not feasible, but Yu Zhi thinks it is not suitable for her and may even have some counterproductive effects, which would make the loss outweigh the gain.
During the whole process, Shi Rui never said a word, but just silently stared at the glowing girl, as if giving her the most precious encouragement from himself.
Lin Kuisheng was watching with great excitement when he suddenly nudged his shoulder and said, "Actor Shi, are you and Yu Zhi going to act together?"
The other staff members behind him widened their eyes when they heard this. After all, Director Lin's auditions rarely gave actors the opportunity to perform a second part, let alone having the best actor accompany them. This had never happened before.
Then something even more surprising happened. The actor, who hadn't changed his posture since the beginning, stood up without hesitation. He seemed to be in a good mood and walked over to the girl. He raised an eyebrow and said to Director Lin, "Which part do you want us to perform?"
The joy emanating from your body makes those who know you understand that you are a boss and an employee, while those who don’t would think this is some large-scale blind date scene where you hold hands!
Lin Kui twitched his lips, choosing to ignore his apprentice's peacock-spreading behavior. After a moment's thought, he said, "The scene where Lu Rou and Lu Li were confronting each other."
The two of them had one minute to prepare, and Yu Zhi urgently mobilized her memory about this part.
Lu Li, the son of the great general of the Ning Dynasty, has always occupied Lu Rou's heart since his youth. He is also the person who was buried by Lu Rou along with her past after he was 16 years old.
The Seventh Princess was not favored by the emperor since she was a child. Even after her mother passed away, she had been unknown in the palace. Sometimes, even at some big banquets, the palace servants would forget about her.
Only Lu Li, the famous young general in the capital, has always held her in the apple of his eye and truly pampered her like a princess.
Even the general and his wife treated her very well, like their own daughter.
When Lu Rou was 12 years old, the young general who was full of national ambitions went to war with his father. In just one year, he made great military achievements and captured the hearts of most girls in the capital.
At that time, the Seventh Princess was already old enough to go to school, and her presence was much higher than before. Naturally, many people discovered that the relationship between her and the Major General was not simple.
What followed were all kinds of difficulties and frame-ups, but Lu Rou was not the kind of person who would allow others to bully her. Even though her status was not as high as theirs, she still fought back one by one. Even the most favored Fifth Prince at that time found it difficult to get any benefits from her.
But once in front of Lu Li, she was still that innocent and kind little girl, very well-behaved.
The Major General at that time did not hold a very important position, so he often traveled back and forth between the frontier and the capital, bringing some local specialties to his mother and the little princess, or staying with them for a few more days.
But at the age of 15, everything changed dramatically.
General Lu was framed for secretly communicating with the enemy country, and within ten days, everyone in the Lu family was executed. That day, the streets were covered with blood, and the entire capital was shrouded in a thick smell of blood.
At that time, Lu Li, the only survivor of the Lu family, was still leading his troops to guard the border territory, fighting the enemy for three sleepless nights.
This is such an irony. My parents, siblings and I all died unjustly, and I am still trying my best to protect the peace of the culprits.
Lu Rou was not very clear about what happened afterwards. She only knew that three days after the incident, the major general who had once enjoyed countless honors and the most important person in her heart finally collapsed on the battlefield.
In the five years that followed, Lu Rou seemed to have changed into a completely different person. She became more bold and absurd, and even kept male favorites in the palace, disregarding the laws of the Ning Dynasty.
That high-spirited young man was gradually buried in everyone's memories and no one mentioned him again.
The focus of this movie is mainly on the second half of the story, that is, after Lu Rou turned 20.
The imperial examination was held as scheduled that year, and the third place winner Chu Zigui attracted her attention.
The reason was simple: he made her feel too much like Lu Li, the name she had never dared to touch in the past five years.
And the scene that Lin Kuisheng asked them to perform now was the test between Lu Rou and Chu Zigui after she discovered the matter.
The two stood facing each other, each immersed in their own emotional preparation.
Shi Rui was the first to speak. He smiled calmly, his expression filled with an open-minded attitude, as if nothing in the world mattered to him. He asked the woman in front of him, "Princess, why did you ask me to come here?"
This man's acting skills have reached a terrifying level. It is not unreasonable that he is loved by so many big directors. Even Yu Zhi was inevitably surprised by the change in his temperament.
During this period, in addition to studying her own role in the script, she also took the time to watch all of Shi Rui's previous films.
The more you watch, the more you can feel the rapid improvement in his acting skills over the years.
Many fans jokingly call him a "drama-throwing face", which means that every time he plays a role, he can bring a completely different feeling to the public, and there is no possibility for the audience to mix up the roles.
Such a profound feeling can be felt even through a screen, let alone the fact that Yu Zhi is now face to face with this person?
Deeply feeling the oppression brought to her by the opponent in this field, she seemed to be aroused by her competitive spirit in an instant.
From that moment on, there was no longer Yu Zhi and Shi Rui in this space, only Lu Rou and Chu Zigui on the palace wall.
