interview
Lan Yan is well-informed, and as an agent, she needs to have a keen sense of smell.
Early in the morning, while still asleep, Li Li received a call from Lan Yan, who came straight to the point: "You need to take over the role of Sun Ziming. I've already drafted the contract, and I'll go over to discuss it with them."
Li Li rubbed her eyes, trying to clear her mind. "I need to go for an audition first, and then see if they think I'm suitable for the role."
"Audition?"
Lan Yan paused and mumbled, "It's been years since I last heard that you wanted to audition. I'm still a little uncomfortable. Okay, call me when you succeed."
"Why, you still want to sign me?"
The other party gnashed his teeth and shouted: "I will sign you if you come back."
Li Lai actually also wanted to ask Lan Yan to continue to be his agent. After all, they had been working together for several years and they had gotten used to each other.
Every day I work as usual, watching the contestants rehearse, communicating with the program team about the process of the next episode, and thinking about the self-introduction video to submit to the crew.
Maybe, it really fell into oblivion.
Li Li thought so.
He was so excited that he thought that he would get a call from the crew soon after submitting his resume. However, it had been four days and there was no news of any audition. Lan Yan was so anxious that he said he would go to the producer for an interview in person.
Li Li thought about it for a moment, then gave up. She said, "After the filming is over, I plan to submit my resume to other crews. I want to test the outside world's attitude towards me first."
Lan Yan laughed angrily: "You have a good gold medal agent but you have to interview each one of them."
"I'm afraid of getting you into trouble," Li Li replied without hesitation. "The online comments are indiscriminately attacking everyone. I'm afraid you'll be attacked."
Lan Yan doesn't care: "Ever since I started this job, I've become accustomed to being scolded."
While helping Bai Zhi rehearse her lines at night, the cell phone next to her rang. Li Li opened it and took a look, then continued helping Bai Zhi rehearse her lines.
On Friday, Li Li asked for leave from the production team on the pretext of going to the theater to do some things.
At nine o'clock, Li Li showed up at the audition on time.
There weren't many people at the scene, only eight actresses. When they saw someone coming, they just greeted them briefly and read the script in their hands carefully.
Li Li ranked fourth and started the audition after putting on her makeup.
It would be a lie to say that she wasn't nervous while waiting to go on stage. Her role was that of a senior female prosecutor, and the long professional lines were extremely difficult to understand. When she first got the script to read, Li Liguang had a hard time even reading it word for word.
While waiting in the backstage, there were still a few lines that he couldn't say clearly. The more anxious he became, the more his lips became like glue, unable to open their mouths, and his words became sticky and muddled. Li Li was so angry that she slapped herself twice, and only then did she feel better.
But this scared the staff who invited her on stage.
Thinking Li Lai was nervous, she consoled him, "It's just an audition, don't be nervous."
When I entered the room, there was a camera placed in the middle. There were four people in the room. One was operating the filming equipment, two were looking down at the script on the table, and one was standing by the bed talking on the phone.
The two of them who were flipping through the script were veteran actors in the circle, and they had an aura just by sitting there.
After the woman finished her call, she returned to her seat and apologized to Li Lai for delaying her audition, then picked up the information on the table.
"Li Li?" He raised his eyelids and looked at her again.
Li Li's expression remained unchanged, but he was extremely nervous. He quickly thought about the questions they would ask and how he would need to explain.
You don't need to answer personal questions.
"Isn't the news of your audition disclosed to the production team you're currently participating in?"
"No."
"That's good," the woman said efficiently. "The scene is set in a courtroom. You, as the prosecutor, will pronounce the verdict on the defendant. The teacher before you is the criminal. You have five minutes to prepare."
During these five minutes, Li Li did not take out the script to consolidate her memory like others did. She asked for a table and a chair, and placed the open script on the table.
This is? Reading from a script?
Li Li was not given the complete script, so she could only perfect the character of the female prosecutor based on some information in the script.
The character is a prosecutor, and the script gives the information that she is going to sentence a murderer who has killed many innocent women.
Having killed many innocent women in a row, his mentality and personality must be extreme. He must be unwilling to accept the treatment of women and wants to overpower them with his momentum.
In order to convict the suspect, she must have prepared for a long time and had sufficient evidence in her hands. No matter how the suspect changed his confession, she could always find a breakthrough.
Therefore, her mentality must be stable, and she must have predicted all the prognosis of the criminal suspect.
When the five-minute timer was up, the "suspect" immediately got into character, sat down on a chair with disdain, and said arrogantly: "I have a mental illness. I was in the stage of a mental illness when the incident happened. I don't remember anything that happened at all."
This sentence is not in the script, and it seems that the actor designed it himself to improve the character image.
Li Li looked at the criminal suspect in front of her with a firm and dignified gaze, and spoke every word clearly: "Regarding the suspect's history of mental illness, our hospital has applied to the court. Led by at least three people including family members and bailiffs, we will participate in a forensic psychiatric evaluation to prove that the criminal suspect has the mental illness history he claimed. We also found that he had searched for criminal mental illness procedures in his mobile phone and internet records..."
Li Li maintained a very stable mentality. Even when her opponent actor did not act according to the script, she did not panic at all. Her lines were sonorous and powerful, and she did not lose out at all during the interrogation.
It would be more accurate to say that it was an improvisation between the two actors rather than a duet.
This is due to her years of experience in stage plays. Stage plays require direct contact with the audience and provide them with an audio-visual feast, so they have to rehearse many times in private to ensure that there are no mistakes. Even if there are mistakes, they must continue to perform calmly and must not be seen by outsiders.
When the verdict was announced, Li Li took the script in her hand and read out the sentence word by word.
The word "death penalty" was like a nail, pinning down the suspect's fighting spirit. The other party stared at Li Li viciously.
Li Li wasn't frightened either. She looked the suspect straight in the face, using justice and the authority of the law to break him down from the inside. He sat dejectedly in his chair, sighing, "I really can't commit a crime."
The "suspect" confessed his guilt, and Li Li stood up and bowed to thank her co-actor.
With this dramatic ending, the other people in the room also realized that the audition was over, and the lady next to them clapped her hands repeatedly.
"Teacher Liu, you are having a great time acting."
"That's so satisfying," Liu Qiang said, still unsatisfied. He pointed at Li Lili and said, "This is what it means to be a prosecutor who can sentence me to death. How powerful is that."
The woman smiled and said, "It's too early to say anything. There are still four actors who haven't auditioned yet." She turned to look at Li Li and said, "I'll give you the results as early as this evening. Please keep an eye out for my contact information."
"good."
"But I'm curious why you read from the script at the end. The staff just said you had memorized the lines."
Li Li explained, "When the prosecutor reads the indictment, they read it aloud. They spend a lot of time preparing for a case and absolutely cannot make a single mistake. A single mistake would be disrespectful to the court. All I have to do is be able to read and memorize the law."
Li Li went out and was led by the staff to remove her makeup. She checked her phone and saw a message from Lan Yan saying that the program team would arrange a game tomorrow and she hoped that Li Li could have a try with Yu An.
The words revealed a plea, trying to gain some more popularity for Yu An.
We all work in the same circle. If we have popularity, we are famous; if we don’t, we are just ordinary people.
Li Li is not a noble person. Sometimes, she also craves popularity.
The Saturday program organizes everyone to do volunteer activities, and the money earned is donated to children with congenital heart disease.
Doing charity in the entertainment industry is the best marketing gimmick.
The program team prepared many professions for contestants and artists to choose by drawing lots.
Li Li noticed that those who drew blue number plates were subway security inspectors, those who drew yellow number plates were deliverymen, those who drew green number plates were couriers, and those who drew pink number plates were vendors selling flowers and gifts.
He also noticed that Yu An had a green license plate and took a look at the pink license plate in his hand.
There will be cameras filming the entire process of setting up a stall to sell flowers and gifts, so it is not tiring, and there is also a job to promote the program.
It wasn't out of the idea of promoting the couple, but because Li Li knew Yu An's actual situation, so she walked straight over without hesitation. "I'm not used to having the camera pointed at me." Li Li explained, and neatly took away Yu An's task card.
Li Li's action sparked heated discussion in the live broadcast.
[Oh my god, oh my god, what are you two doing? You're so blatantly exchanging number plates!]
[Li Li cuts in line and takes Yu An's love number plate.]
[It was snatched away.]
[Li Li tea is so good.]
[Let me explain to everyone: Yu An had been in a car accident and had injuries to his legs and back. He's not suitable for strenuous labor, and Li Li was also kind-hearted.]
First, she followed the courier who probably lived in several nearby communities. Afraid that she would forget the way, Li Li even drew a simple map on her arm with a black marker.
The courier was also a little worried and told Li Lai that the package must be placed in the hands of the recipient and the recipient's signature must be obtained. If in doubt, it is best to take a photo.
Li Li was unsure: "Isn't there a post office or express locker here?"
The courier explained: "This is an old neighborhood, full of elderly people. When you explain things like express lockers and post stations to them, they sometimes don't understand."
There was only one photographer who followed Li Li and accompanied her in delivering express packages. Later, the program crew called him and asked him to go back to renovate the live broadcast hall, and left a live broadcast mobile phone for Li Li.
As she walked into the old corridor and climbed the stairs one floor at a time, Li Li felt like she was back to when she was sixteen or seventeen, following her mother and helping her deliver express packages.
At that time, express lockers were not yet popular. They had to deliver packages door to door, repeatedly confirming addresses, getting calls that didn't go through, and being unable to explain why the package was damaged. They also had to file inexplicable complaints...
After feeling aggrieved for a month, the only time I’m happiest is when I get my salary.
My mother needs to divide her monthly salary into three parts: one part is saved, one part is used for household expenses, and one part is used for my sister's living expenses and tuition for college.
It is difficult for a woman to raise two children, especially two children who are in school.
During her adolescence, when her self-esteem was at its strongest, Li Li spent her time delivering express packages with her mother and working part-time during the winter and summer vacations with her sister.
She knocked on countless doors to survive. Her smile was taught to her by her sister. Confidence represents your self-esteem.
"Grandma Chen Shufen, please take a look at the items your granddaughter mailed to you. Please sign here to confirm that they are correct."
