The Movie King is a Cat (3)
Shen Tang put aside the stares he had received from the male and female protagonists and approached Zeng Mei with interest, "What kind of book could have made our sister Zeng so excited?"
The assistant at the side also covered her mouth and laughed: "Sister Tang, in my opinion, this role is definitely suitable for you. When Sister Zeng first got the script, she knew you could take this role at first sight, otherwise she wouldn't have called you over in such a hurry."
“Oh?” Shen Tang ignored the false smile on the assistant’s face. He just reached out to take the script that Zeng Mei handed over. After finding a place to sit down, he focused on reading the script. Most of the roles played by the original owner were inconspicuous vases. Zeng Mei said it was suitable for her. Could it be another vase role?
Zeng Mei didn't wait for Shen Tang to think about it, and directly pointed out the name of one of the characters, "This role is very suitable for you."
Following the direction of the other party's finger, Shen Tang's eyes fell on the character name "Luo Qing". After pausing for two or three seconds, he looked at the confident Zeng Mei in surprise, "Sister Zeng, are you sure I can play this role well?"
The difference between this role and the roles played by the original body in the past is that this role is a villain who turns evil later in life. In the past, the small roles played by the original body were just vase roles that only needed to show up and go through the scene, but this time she was invited to play a villain with a huge contrast between the beginning and the end, which surprised Shen Tang.
But Zeng Mei didn't show any abnormal expression, instead she nodded calmly, "Yes, it's this role, what's wrong?"
"Don't you think it's a bit difficult for me to play this role with my current ability?" Shen Tang's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he was about to show Zeng Mei the dark history of the original owner. Unexpectedly, the other party laughed after hearing it.
"I believe in your ability. Besides, you finally got this opportunity. Are you really willing to give it up?"
Shen Tang shook his head lightly, "Of course not."
"Isn't that right?" Zeng Mei smiled confidently and patted Shen Tang on the shoulder. "Let alone the small roles you played in the past, if you play this role well, you might become famous with this drama."
Shen Tang did not deny her words. She read the script carefully. Although Luo Qing was not an important character in the plot, her role was definitely not something that could be covered up by the word "vase". The name of this play is "Die Meng", which is a fictional costume drama, but the plot takes place during the period when foreign invaders are pressing.
The plot revolves around the male and female protagonists who go to the border to resist foreign invasion in turbulent times. The prince, who is in the hall, chooses to go to the battlefield to make merit in order to fight for the imperial power, while the female protagonist in the book comes to the army by chance to avoid her enemies, and disguises herself as a man to serve as the male protagonist's military advisor.
Shen Tang looked at the character "Luo Qing". She was a princess of the previous dynasty who was hidden in the Medical Valley by her master in her early years. Her master was the current master of the Medical Valley. However, Luo Qing herself had always had a crush on her eldest senior brother.
Luo Qing is an important character, but she died early. Luo Qing tried to kill the heroine many times but failed, and was hated by his senior brother. In an accident, the heroine was caught, and Luo Qing was bewitched by his senior brother and used as a hostage in exchange for the heroine. In the end, he could not bear the humiliation and chose to commit suicide.
But to say that this role is not important, it is precisely because the place where Luo Qing's corpse rotted after his death attracted countless butterflies. The densely swarmed butterflies surrounded the foreign invaders who had already led their troops to attack the city, blocking their way and buying time for the arrival of reinforcements.
Shen Tang stared at the script for a long time, and finally turned around and replied to Zeng Mei, "Sister Zeng, when does the director plan to hold the audition?"
“I want to try this role.”
After hearing Shen Tang's answer, Sister Zeng nodded with satisfaction, "I have already asked for this for you. The crew will start auditions at Jingxing Studio at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. Dress up nicely for the audition. Xiaoxing will go with you."
As soon as Zeng Mei finished speaking, the assistant next to her, who was called Xiaoxing, nodded frantically, "Sister Tang, just go ahead and act. I'll prepare water and a chair for you!"
Seeing this, Shen Tang just pursed his lips and didn't say much. Zeng Mei was very nice to her, but this assistant always had her own little thoughts. Whenever she saw a big shot, she would bend over backwards to flatter her and try to pull her down. The original owner might not have noticed it, but Shen Tang, who reviewed her original memory, could naturally see it.
However, when it was time to settle accounts with her, Shen Tang asked Zeng Mei for the notebook and put it in the small bag she carried with her. She casually asked, "Sister, when did Su Lin join the company? The young agent next to him seems to be quite serious about him."
Zeng Mei glanced at her and said, "Why do you ask that? I asked you to say hello to someone, but you had a conflict with him?"
"Not really," Shen Tang said vaguely, "Maybe a little?"
"Look for yourself," Zeng Mei helplessly placed a piece of information in front of Shen Tang. On the information was a photo of Su Lin, but many spaces were blank.
Shen Tang exclaimed in surprise, "He joined the company last month, how come I have never met him before?" In her original memory, she did not have any encounters with Su Lin. If she had signed the contract so early, how could she have only met him today? Besides, Su Lin had already filmed one or two popular online dramas before joining Jiacheng Media. She did not think that her original body would not recognize Su Lin when she really met him.
"He was still filming a variety show last month, so of course you haven't seen it," Zeng Mei said helplessly, "You two are not much different in age, so you should learn how he handles things. His agent is not someone you can easily mess with, and if you get into trouble, I can't help you clean up the mess."
Shen Tang blinked and repeated in a silly manner, "Variety show."
"Sister Zeng, I haven't done variety shows for a long time. Can you let me learn?" Shen Tang didn't intend to miss any opportunity to increase his popularity. If he wanted to have a famous work, he had to gradually enter the public's field of vision. Even if it was just a small variety show, it was better than staying at home and being a jerk.
Zeng Mei hesitated for a long time before saying, "It's not like I haven't picked variety shows for you before, but didn't you refuse them all?"
Shen Tang:......
She cleared her throat and said, "Sister, I am young and ignorant. Now I want to take on variety shows."
As he spoke, Shen Tang sniffed deliberately, and his pretty little face looked at Zeng Mei pitifully, which finally made the person sigh.
"Okay, okay, you're my boss, I'll help you see if there are any variety shows you can take on recently. But remember to go to the audition on time tomorrow, or you'll miss it forever." Zeng Mei said as she went about her own business, and seeing this, Shen Tang also planned to leave to prepare for tomorrow's audition.
It just so happened that Shen Tang had just walked away from Zeng Mei for a while when he ran into Meng Yang and Su Lin walking outside. However, Su Lin still had an indifferent expression, while Meng Yang's face turned pale, and the hatred in his eyes only deepened when he saw Shen Tang.
"Hey, isn't this Miss Meng? Why are you here alone? Why didn't your parents come out with you?"
A female voice came from the side, and then a woman in purple with heavy makeup appeared in front of the few people. After seeing Shen Tang, she greeted him, "Baby, why are you here? Did you miss me?"
As she spoke, the woman hooked Shen Tang's cheek with her fingertips and said, "To be honest, I still like your face. It's much more pleasing to the eye than Miss Meng's."
"What a nest of snakes and rats," Meng Yang cursed in a low voice with disgust.
Shen Tang got goosebumps all over his body when the woman's hand touched him, but he still had to endure the discomfort and talk to the person in front of him. The reason was that the woman in front of him was Xu Mu, the original owner's "one-way" friend in the circle. According to the original owner's personality, he naturally could not refuse this person's action.
"Mu Mu, it would be bad if you say that to hurt Miss Meng." Shen Tang pretended to be embarrassed and glared at Xu Mu. At the same time, he had to use his emotional stepping stone to squeeze the heroine, "Mu Mu, what about the eldest lady you just mentioned? How come I have never heard of it?"
Xu Mu gently lifted the long hair that was dyed and dyed, and glanced at her with contempt, "Oh, forget it, it's not a secret. The agent in front of you, Meng Da, is the eldest daughter of the Meng family. I don't know what's wrong with her that she has to enter the entertainment industry to join in the fun. It is said that it is for the starring role of an unknown web drama!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Meng Yang was so angry that her face turned red. She quickly glanced at the boy next to her, but found that he didn't react at all. She felt a little disappointed for a moment.
Shen Tang naturally knew who Xu Mu was talking about. Su Lin was the only person who had been recruited to the company recently because of the popularity of the online drama. But Su Lin just frowned slightly, and returned to his normal state after a moment, "Okay, don't talk nonsense about things that are groundless, just be quiet."
Su Lin glanced at Xu Mu with impatience, and quickly looked away the moment his eyes met Shen Tang.
"Don't be angry, Sister Meng. Mu Mu just wanted to answer my questions properly. As an agent, you will not be angry with us, right?" Shen Tang shook Meng Yang's hand seriously, which made Xu Mu on the side feel a little strange. How could this person switch expressions so freely? It was even more natural than when she was acting.
But Meng Yang couldn't stand the woman in front of her provoking her. As if to prove her ability, she waved Shen Tang's hand away and waved the stack of papers in her hand, "What do you know? I'm fighting for better opportunities for my artists. When the time comes, we will naturally see who is strong and who is weak!"
"It's better than some people who can't even get a TV show," Meng Yang pointed at Shen Tang intentionally or unintentionally, and raised her head. The arrogance in her eyes made her look like a proud little goose, "Su Lin, let's go!"
Before leaving, Su Lin looked at Shen Tang a few more times. It was not the look of disgust that Shen Tang had imagined, but rather a look of curiosity. He did not slowly follow Meng Yang until he was almost out of sight.
The farce caused by Xu Mu came to an end just like that. Shen Tang found it a little funny. She followed Xu Mu's words to build up her own momentum. The heroine couldn't wait to use her ultimate move, but unfortunately, she had already memorized the heroine's ultimate move in her mind.
According to the development of the plot, Su Lin will take on an even more popular TV series. With his own talent and ability, he will gradually build his own reputation after a rapid rise in the acting field.
With the help of the heroine, Shen Tang is not worried about Su Lin's career. In her opinion, it is only a matter of time for this man to become the best actor. Instead of worrying about the hero, she might as well worry about her own affairs, play her supporting role well and work hard to complete the task so that she can return to the fast-forward bureau earlier.
"Little lucky bag, are there any acting skills that can be redeemed?"
Shen Tang, who had a few perfunctory words with Xu Mu and then left with an excuse, asked on the way. Little Fortune Bag just said, "There is such a skill, but redeeming the skill has side effects. If the host uses it, it will affect the seal that the main system has cast on the male protagonist."
