Chapter 42

Author: You Yi MACHINE TRANSLATION

Xi Wan followed He Min and arrived at the selection venue for the female lead of “the records of the Geisha of the Tang Dynasty” under the company’s arrangements.

The venue was a hall on the second floor of the building and an office in the hall. It was a rather unprofessional place and could be said to be simple and crude. Was this the style of the new director?

The office was used for the director’s selection of the male and female lead as well as the two male and two female leads. The hall was used for the Assistant Director’s selection of the three male and three female leads as well as other actors. Therefore, the moment Xi Wan entered, she saw a sea of people in the hall.

Most of the people present were small actors with small assistants. There were men and women, young and old, all sorts of people. Everyone was discussing quietly, but the volume of their voices added up was deafening. The staff had no choice but to hold a small loudspeaker and hand out small notes to the irrelevant people to leave. The relevant people sat in an orderly manner and waited for the audition.

Naturally, there was no lack of people in the entertainment industry who had a lot of extras. They looked at the script calmly and fought to get a good role.

Xi Wan’s beautiful appearance naturally attracted a lot of attention. Of course, this included the staff who received her. When the staff saw that Xi Wan was holding an invitation card from Sky Shadow, his eyes lit up. He led Xi Wan to the internal office. After the task was completed, the staff even said, “Good Luck, I wish you a successful audition. ”

Although the size of the internal office was not as big as the hall, it was quite spacious. Although there were many fewer people than the hall, there were actually quite a lot of them. Many of them were Xi Wan’s familiar faces. It was likely that this internet novel with a big Ip.. Attracted a lot of artistes to come for the audition.

Xi Wan looked around and saw that the first two rows were mostly filled with male actors, while the last two rows were filled with actresses. Obviously, the director had chosen the male lead and the second male lead first.

Speaking of which, Xi Wan had never encountered such a group audition before. Firstly, she acted and had always been allowed to choose from thousands of scripts. Secondly, according to the rules of the industry, most of the time, it was the big director who had figured out the script and had someone in mind After sending the script to the management company, they would invite the female star in their hearts to come for an audition. If there were no mistakes, it would basically be this actress.

But now, the cast and crew was choosing a role like it was an audition for a show. Xi Wan was a little embarrassed. She looked at many celebrities who had already debuted or were already quite popular in the industry, and her expression was a little awkward. But since she was here, she would just take it as it was.

Xi Wan looked at the time. There was still an hour before her audition, so she asked He min to go out and buy some food. Not long after, a female celebrity with sunglasses and a bun on her head sat next to her. The two assistants behind her were busy, and she sat leisurely in her seat, looking like a big shot.

Xi Wan felt that she looked familiar, but she did not recognize who she was. She looked at Xi Wan, and her nostrils made a slight “Chi” sound. Then, she lowered her head to look at her phone and play Games.

Not long after, there was another commotion at the door. A team walked in, and a few assistants surrounded the female artiste in the middle as if they were the stars surrounding the Moon.

The manager saw that there were a lot of people in the office, and she immediately pulled her long face down. She was obviously very unhappy. “Why are there so many people? It’s like a market! ”

When she saw that the staff member had arranged for her female artiste to sit on one of the waiting chairs, she immediately became angry She pointed at the staff member’s nose with one hand. “How do you do things Our Tang Tang is an a-list celebrity. Don’t you know how to set up a small independent office Sitting on such a chair arrogantly, it’s very demeaning Do you know the rules or not!”

Xi Wan turned her head and finally realized that the female Artiste who was surrounded by the crowd and watching her manager instruct the staff of “Tang Dynasty” with an expressionless face was the night before last She was watching the fight between Zhao Ji’s fans and Tang Tang’s fans on Weibo, and the owner of one of them was Tang Tang.

Xi Wan:”…”

Her EQ was so low. Even if she was just an ordinary staff member, she was still a member of the “Tang Dynasty” crew. Was it really good to slap the face of the “Tang Dynasty” crew just like that?

“Let me tell you, if you don’t arrange a separate office for our Tang Tang, you’ll have to wait and see! ”

Although the staff member frowned, he then hinted to another staff member to get the person-in-charge over. After all, he was just a small fry. The person in front of him was a well-known artist, and he really couldn’t afford to offend her. Therefore, he kept bowing and nodding his head, apologizing non-stop. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Because the filming crew is about to start filming, it’s really very busy. The casting is simple and crude. Please don’t be angry, please don’t be angry. ”

The manager saw the staff member bowing He became even more overbearing. “Is there any use in apologizing The most important thing is to find a small office for our artist Our artist is not like these nameless and unknown artists who can sit proudly in public.”

“Yes, yes, yes. ” The staff member nodded.

“What a waste, ” the manager muttered.

Xi Wan was really convinced. Although the artistes who came for the audition were not very famous and were only second or third-rate at most, what did he think of Tang Tang An artiste who did not even have a single movie, who had only acted in a few silly and sweet Mary Sue Popular Idol Dramas and gained some popularity, just arrogantly pointed at the staff member and kept firing shots.

And this Tang Tang, did she really want to get into the movie industry Her EQ was so low that she actually allowed her manager to make enemies for her everywhere without stopping. She was drunk One had to know how many artistes were in the big screen. Although some of them were not very popular, they could really kill a Newbie like Tang Tang with just a word, okay?

She really did not know where she got her confidence from. A female artiste who did not have a representative’s work and had an undeserved reputation, did she really think that the film crew would give her an audition invitation for the female lead and she would be able to take the female lead role in the movie with just her loud voice online?

Sure enough, the female artiste who wore sunglasses and combed her hair stood up. Xi Wan then remembered that this slightly familiar female artiste was the other female lead in the battle between Zhao Tang’s fans — Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji slowly sat down and smiled at Tang Tang. “Oh my, Tang Tang, it’s been a long time since we last met. You’re getting more and more beautiful. Actually, it’s quite good to sit anywhere. We can still chat. Brother Li, what do you think? ”

Brother Li was Tang Tang’s manager. Seeing that Zhao Ji, who was as popular as her artiste, was also sitting there, he looked a little embarrassed. Then, he looked at the staff who were all submissive. Many of the small artistes around him were filled with admiration When they thought that their goal of deterrence had been achieved, they coughed and said, “well, since it’s inconvenient, then forget it. ” Then, they said to the staff member, “you guys better be careful in the future. Don’t be so unreliable. ”

The staff member nodded in agreement.

“Oh, I thought someone was here. They made such a big fuss and scolded our staff members so badly. ” Just as this matter came to an end, a clear male voice was heard from the other side of the room.

Everyone looked up and saw a man wearing a blue casual shirt and khaki pants walking in front of everyone.

“Director Gu. ” The staff member nodded.

So this was Gu ye, the genius director who had just graduated from the B Film Directing Department. He was tall and had fair skin. Although he looked ordinary, he had a scholarly air about him that made him look quite comfortable.

“I thought it was some a-list celebrity who graced us with his presence and made our production team shine. It turns out… ” he stopped and changed his tone. He asked the staff member in a low voice, “they are… ”

He looked gentle and amiable with a good temper. The moment he opened his mouth, Tang Tang’s team, who had originally intended to keep the peace, had their faces darkened.

“Tang Tang, the female lead in ‘dew of the Golden Wind’ . ”

Gu Ye frowned. “‘Dew of the Golden Wind’ ? I’ve never heard of such a movie in China. ”

Xi Wan stifled a laugh in her heart. What a good Gu ye. What a slap in the face.

Tang Tang’s face alternated between black and blue. Just as she was about to throw a Tantrum, she remembered that the person in front of her was the director who would decide whether she stayed or left. She had no choice but to smile. “Director, I’m sorry. This is a drama starring me. I’ve never acted in a movie before. ”

Gu Ye looked at Tang Tang and smiled, but his smile could not reach his eyes. “Oh, I was wondering why I haven’t heard of it before. By the way, my staff came over to tell me that you have a need? ”

“No, no, no, director. ”

“Oh, that’s good. ” Then he said to the staff, “don’t come to me for everything. I’m very busy and I don’t have enough time. Seriously, if you come to me for every trivial matter, do you still want to film or not? ”

“Yes, yes, yes. ”

Gu Ye turned around and smiled at Tang Tang’s team. “Then I’ll go over first. I really can’t spare time. I can’t wait to be in two places at once. ”

“Okay, director. Take care. ”

Gu Ye nodded and left.

On the other side of the room, Zhao Ji led Tang Tang and sat beside Xi Wan.

Due to the popularity of the two of them, a lot of gazes were cast towards Xi Wan. Before long, they naturally noticed the fresh faces next to the two popular TV dramas. They were all wondering, who is this Which artiste is so good-looking? Is He a newcomer?

After Zhao JI chatted with Tang Tang for a while, he min bought some food and walked over, handing it to Xi Wan “Sister Lisa just called to say that after the audition is over, you should consider the audition for spring and autumn in the afternoon. She told you not to put all your eggs in one basket. It’s not worth it. ”

The audition for Spring and autumn was held at Huafeng’s film and Television base. Xi Wan did not want to act in it in the first place, and when she saw the specific address, she did not want to go.

Because she was not completely ready to see them!
