Chapter 32
Just when netizens were shifting the topic from Nan Tao's stunning face to her character, the live broadcast room was closed and the screen went black.
At this time, in the Garden Community, a low-profile million-dollar luxury car was parked at the gate of the community, and Steward Lin and the driver were waiting in the car. From a distance, they saw Nan Tao holding Yu Ze's hand and walking towards them, and Steward Lin and the driver opened the car door and got out.
As Nan Tao walked to the car door, she felt the cool air coming from inside. She sighed comfortably, climbed quickly into the car, and lay down on the seat, a one-to-one replica of Ge Ling, who had become an Internet celebrity a while ago.
Yu Ze took out a bottle of mineral water from the car pocket, squeezed it open and handed it to Nan Tao: "Mommy, drink it."
Nan Tao was so moved that her eyes were filled with tears. Her son was so thoughtful.
After returning home, Nan Tao sent Yu Ze back to his room and then returned to her own bedroom.
I was lying on the bed playing with my cell phone when the phone rang. It was Jiang Hui.
After the call was connected, Nan Tao joked, "Did you have fun with the variety show live broadcasts these three days?"
Jiang Hui complained: "I'm so tired and yet I'm still happy."
Nan Tao felt the same way, "It seems like everyone is exhausted. The production team is not treating people well."
Jiang Hui strongly agreed, and then said, "Director Le Tian's movie will start casting in the next two days. The day after tomorrow morning, I will fly to Hai City to find you and help you audition. In the afternoon, I will accompany you to the film and television base for the audition."
Nan Tao felt a warm current in her heart. "Okay, tell me when you get off the plane and I'll ask the driver to pick you up."
After hanging up the phone, Nan Tao felt that she would be sorry for Jiang Hui if she didn't prepare in advance.
So I searched on Weibo for the new costume movie that director Letian was planning to shoot. It turned out that the movie hadn't even been named yet, and even the lead actress had only been confirmed to be Jiang Hui. The other female lead and other supporting male roles were also being cast.
In the real-time comments, everyone is discussing who will play the other female lead. You have to know that in the eyes of actors, Director Lotte is a walking award-winning sign. Whoever can become the female lead under Director Lotte will almost certainly win an award. Of course, the value of the award depends on the individual's acting skills, but it is better to have an award than not, not to mention that becoming a Lotte girl means a smooth future in the entertainment industry, so countless people are vying to join Director Lotte's crew.
Fortunately, Director Lotte is a serious person who is persistent in pursuing art. He only considers whether the actor meets the requirements of the role and whether the actor has the potential to explode. If not, it will not work even if the capital pays to get the actor in. There was even one time when the capital party directly put a popular star as the protagonist without any prior notice. Director Lotte was so angry that he left the crew and stopped filming.
Nan Tao gained a deeper understanding of director Letian from her Weibo posts. It seems that she still needs to work hard on the play and try to win the role of one of the two female leads with her own abilities.
Afterwards, Nan Tao read the topic discussions posted by popular entertainment influencers.
#Who is the most suitable candidate for the role of Hexian#
The netizen chose Rong Ya as the first one, and the other female stars were far behind Rong Ya.
Nan Taozi looked around carefully and confirmed that her name was not there. She pursed her lips and wondered, "What? Her name is not there."
So, Nan Tao switched to her secondary account and commented under this big V.
Pan Tao Zai Shi: [Why is Nan Tao not on the list? I think she is very suitable for this role. She is beautiful and fits the role, and has a ladylike personality. Why is her name not on the list? ]
As soon as the comment was posted, there was a rush of responses from below, as if a hornet's nest had been disturbed. A group of elegant fans followed the trend and crawled in to reply.
[What would happen if she wasn't there? Does she still want to play this role? She doesn't even look at her position. She's just a variety show star. She still wants to act in a big director's play? What a daydream.]
[It is obviously my Rong Ya who is suitable for this role, are you blind? ]
[It's funny. Nan Tao looks ugly, but she still sets up a persona of a rich woman. It's really ridiculous. Those who set up this kind of persona in the past all failed. 】
[Don't you even consider how much Nan Tao weighs? I suggest you dream. Dreams can contain anything.]
[What kind of 18th-tier celebrity is trying to touch my goddess? 】
[Does Nan Tao have any representative works? Does she? She just appeared in a variety show, but she really thinks she is a big star. ]
Nan Tao became furious. She was a little drowsy at first, but now she was fully awake. She held her phone with both hands and typed away, responding to each question one by one.
But two hands are no match for four punches, and they can't defeat them.
Nan Tao was so angry that she dropped her phone and fell asleep.
Humph, when Jiang Hui gives her an audition, she must study hard and try to impress the director, so that Rong Ya’s fans will cry.
Two days passed in a flash.
Nan Tao got up early and sat at the dining table waiting for Jiang Hui to come and have breakfast together.
"Xiao Ze, Aunt Huihui will come to our house later. Let's have breakfast together when she arrives."
Yu Ze nodded, "Is Aunt Huihui coming soon?"
Nan Tao just called the driver to ask, he is already on the way and will be home in twenty minutes.
Twenty minutes later, Jiang Hui entered the living room wearing a black corset dress and transparent white high heels.
Nan Tao greeted him with a smile, "Come on, come over and sit down to have breakfast and see if it suits your taste."
Jiang Hui took off her sunglasses and placed them on the table. "Your neighborhood is so big, awesome! I never thought I would have such rich friends."
Yu Ze said obediently: "Good morning, Aunt Huihui."
Jiang Hui: "Good morning, Xiaoze"
Nan Tao picked up a small porcelain bowl and served Jiang Hui a small bowl of millet porridge. "Take a look. Drinking millet porridge in the morning is good for your stomach."
Jiang Hui took it and took a sip. "Not bad, delicious. Your chef has some cooking skills."
After the three of them had breakfast, Yu Ze went out to play, while Nan Tao and Jiang Hui went to the dance studio to audition.
Jiang Hui asked enviously, "You have a separate dance room at home. It's so big. Have you ever learned to dance?"
Nan Tao: "I started out learning dancing, but then I stopped because it was too tiring."
Jiang Hui took out an A4 paper from her bag. On it were densely printed words. "Here, these are a few clips from the audition. The director will randomly select from them. Some are easy and some are difficult. It depends on your luck."
Nan Tao took it and looked at it.
Jiang Hui: "There are three clips in total. We finished the test in the morning, and the afternoon show at the Film and Television Base started at 2 pm."
Nan Tao nodded: "OK."
The first clip is: the first encounter between the two heroines Lin Shuang and He Xian on the road.
Jiang Hui: "We need to pay special attention to the characterization of He Xian. We need to show the coquettishness of a young lady, but not too much, otherwise it will easily become unpleasant. We need to control it."
Nan Tao nodded: "Okay, let's get started."
Jiang Hui quickly got into the role of Lin Shuang, and Nan Tao was immediately drawn into the situation. It has to be said that Jiang Hui is a movie queen, and Nan Tao's emotions completely followed Jiang Hui.
After the audition, Jiang Hui praised: "Taozi, you are very talented. You grasped the core of the character's personality right away. I was right. You are very suitable for this role."
Nan Tao was overwhelmed by the praise, "Really? When I was in the sea play, I was criticized by the teacher every day."
Jiang Hui: "I remember that your teachers in that class were very strict, and some of them are big names in the industry now. If you hadn't told me last time that you were in the same class as them, I wouldn't have known."
The two of them took a break and chatted for a while, then proceeded to rehearse the next two clips.
The second clip is: Lin Shuang and He Xian successfully opened a restaurant in Chang'an City. On the official opening day, the restaurant was smashed by competitors. He Xian laughed and cursed, and fought back sharply and ostentatiously, which finally won the cheers and admiration of the customers. The restaurant was packed with customers that day and was very popular.
The third clip is: The restaurant run by Lin Shuang and He Xian was framed, and many guests went home vomiting and diarrhea after dinner. They were then reported to the government, and the two were thrown into prison. When they went to court, He Xian was severely punished.
After trying all three clips, the two of them fell to the ground exhausted.
Nan Tao: "It's not easy. Acting is very tiring, but it's fun to act with him. It feels like I'm living someone else's life."
Jiang Hui: "Why didn't you want to act more in dramas before?"
Nan Tao: "Before, I had simple ideas and felt that my family had a stable life. Now, I have decided that I should have some dreams in life."
Jiang Hui: "I support you."
After lunch, I took a nap and when I woke up, I rushed to the movie city without stopping.
Jiang Hui is an old acquaintance of the film and television city in Hai City. When the security personnel saw that it was her, they let the car in.
The car stopped at a six-story building, which is the office location of all the crews of the Haishi Film and Television Base.
After getting off the car, Nan Tao and Jiang Hui walked into the building together.
As soon as she entered, she ran into Director Lotte. When Director Lotte saw Jiang Hui, he shouted, "It's a coincidence that you're here. Come and help me. There are too many resumes submitted by actors and I can't read them all. Can you help me select and see if there are any good ones?"
Jiang Hui agreed, and then said, "Director Yue, the person next to me is Nan Tao."
Nan Tao took off her sunglasses and greeted Director Letian.
Director Le Tian's eyes lit up, "The image fits He Xian very well. Xiao Hui, the person you recommended is good, but I don't know about his acting skills..."
Nan Tao said generously with a bright smile: "I will definitely satisfy you."
Director Lotte smiled even more happily: "Yes, that's my personality."
Jiang Hui said to Nan Tao, "I'll go to the director. Can you go alone? You need to go there to get a badge from the staff, and then wait for your number to be called. When your number is called, you can go in and audition."
Nan Tao gave Jiang Hui a look that reassured her, "It's okay, go ahead."
Jiang Hui followed Director Lotte and left. Nan Tao went to get her number tag. After waiting for half an hour and still not being called, she got up and went to the bathroom to touch up her makeup.
While applying setting powder in front of the mirror in the bathroom, Nan Tao heard two people talking at the door.
"It's such a pity that you didn't come this morning. Goddess Rong is so beautiful. I'm almost dying of jealousy."
"Really? Tell me now."
"She is even prettier in person than in the camera. She has a cool and unique temperament. She is super charming. You don't know how many staff members here came here just to see her."
"I watched her audition, her acting is really great, she perfectly portrayed the ladylike spirit of He Xian, it was so vivid and lifelike."
"But didn't you say that she has a cool and unique temperament? I'm a fan of the book, and Hexian's character is bright and flamboyant."
"What do you know? Are you still my good sister? I only gossip with you because of our good relationship. How can you look down on my goddess like this? She's a great actress, okay? She has a cold temperament, but she can play He Xian so perfectly. Doesn't this prove something? Even the super strict director Lotte praised her for her good acting."
"Wow, Director Lotte praised her?"
"Isn't it? I guarantee that the actress who plays He Xian this time is definitely our goddess Rong. No one else can play the role well."
"But I think Nan Tao is also suitable."
"You're making me so mad, which side are you on?"
