Chapter 64 You are quite diligent and thrifty
Shen Li met Ye Jingjing in the corridor.
Ye Jingjing noticed that something was wrong with Shen Li's face and asked, "Ali... what's wrong with you?"
"No, it's fine!"
Shen Li scratched his hair again, "Last night..."
She really had no memory of what happened last night. She seemed to be unable to explain the confusing things she did while half asleep and half awake even if she had a mouth.
She shook her head, forget it, don't think about this for now.
It was her problem anyway, Mo Yunzuo had inconvenient legs, and he couldn't do anything to her.
Shen Li asked: "Have you had breakfast?"
Ye Jingjing nodded and picked up the things in her hands: "I brought some for you. Brother Meng is already waiting for us in the parking lot!"
"it is good."
Shen Li finished the two buns in a few moments, drank a bottle of milk, parked the car, and got into Meng Mingqian's car.
Meng Mingqian also brought a driver so he didn't have to drive himself. He took a look at Shen Li's outfit.
"You can't dress nicer."
"Why doesn't it look good? T-shirt and jeans, how beautiful it is!"
"Tiantian Jeans, why don't you show off the fighting scene for the audition later?"
"Do you think just jeans can affect my performance?"
Meng Mingqian: "..."
Shen Li added: "And I'm very poor and can't afford it."
Meng Mingqian looked at her with disgust.
"Didn't you earn 60 from live streaming?"
Shen Li pursed her lips: "I have other uses for the 60. It's not like I have nothing to wear. I can buy whatever I want."
Meng Mingqian sneered coldly: "You are quite diligent and thrifty."
Shen Li: "..."
There were a lot of people auditioning. The lead actor and several other supporting roles auditioned today, so they had to wait for a long time.
Moreover, Shen Li also met Cheng Qian at the scene.
Cheng Qian said: "I'm here to audition for the role of Xiao An."
Shen Li was stunned for a moment and said, "Me too."
The second female lead in "Dream of Chang'an" is named Xiao An.
Cheng Qian does have the qualifications to play this role. She has acted in many costume dramas. The leading role and supporting roles are both men and women, and she is very adaptable.
Meng Mingqian said to Shen Li: "You wait here, I'll go see the director."
"……Oh!"
Cheng Qian asked Shen Li in surprise: "Who are you and Manager Meng...?"
The news of terminating the contract with Tianhe Entertainment has not been officially announced yet, and Shen Li does not want to leave the news.
"Introducer!"
"He introduced you to the audition?" Cheng Qian was even more surprised, "Manager Meng is famous for being picky and has high standards. There are not many artists that he likes in the industry. I'm afraid Han Xiao is nothing in his eyes. , I didn’t expect that she would introduce the script to you.”
After finishing her words, she said: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to look down on you."
Shen Li said helplessly: "He may be in a bad mood recently and came to take out his anger on me."
"……what?"
"Dream of Chang'an" is adapted from IP. Yu Ming is the chief director of "Dream of Chang'an" and he has very high requirements for this work.
In this audition, he and the assistant director, original IP author, screenwriter, coordinator, producer, supervisor, etc. were in charge.
Before the official start, Meng Mingqian went in.
He smiled brightly: "Director Yu, long time no see."
Yu Ming looked at him in surprise: "Xiao Meng? Haha, I really haven't seen you in two or three years."
"almost!"
Meng Mingqian handed the cigarette over and said hello to the people next to him one by one.
Then he sat next to Yu Ming and said, "I haven't congratulated Director Yu yet. His last work, Scenery, won five awards."
The two were very familiar with each other, and Yu Ming took the cigarette and started smoking it.
"This is an honor that comes from everyone's hard work and cooperation." He smiled and said, "What's the matter with you? I thought you planned to disappear forever. Now you want to come back?"
Meng Mingqian said: "That's the plan."
"Oh?"
Meng Mingqian was also unambiguous and said frankly: "I brought someone to audition today."
Yu Ming suddenly became interested: "Who? What's your name?"
"Keep it secret for now." Meng Mingqian glanced at the people present and joked: "Everyone in the province said you were disrespecting me because of my dignity."
"Agent Meng is joking, how could Director Yu be such a person."
"That's right, auditions are always based on roles, not people."
"You are really..." Yu Ming said angrily: "Have you ever paid attention to this script? Is there any suitable person who can recommend it?"
Meng Mingqian glanced at him: "Isn't it already auditioning? I see there are many people outside, and you will always be able to choose what you want."
"I hope so." Yu Ming said, "Just sit here and help me check."
"Row."
The auditions are not sorted by role. Instead, all those who participated in the audition draw numbers and audition according to the order of numbers.
There were only about a hundred people in total, and Shen Li drew number 97.
Ye Jingjing frowned: "This...luck...is...too bad!"
Everyone knows that the lower the number, the lower the success rate, and the directors who watch too much have higher requirements.
"It's okay!" Shen Li sat back and waited calmly, "Relax."
Cheng Qian drew number 13.
Next, I watched everyone come in and out of the room one by one.
The short time may be half a minute and then it will come out, and the long time may be more than ten minutes.
When Cheng Qian entered, Shen Li said to her, "Come on."
Cheng Qian smiled back: "Thank you!"
A little girl standing in line next to her looked down on Shen Li and said, "You're hypocritical. You're competing for the same role and you're telling people to come on. I've never seen you be so hypocritical."
Shen Li looked at her: "Ah, yes, yes, you are the most sincere. When you go in later, I will tell you sincerely, don't work hard, don't succeed, you will definitely lose."
The little girl was only seventeen or eighteen years old and couldn't hide her emotions.
He immediately yelled: "Are you crazy? You have a vase, except for a pretty face, a hip-shaking acting skill, and a bad character. How can you have the nerve to participate in Director Yu's audition?"
"Don't worry, I'm definitely not as sick as you, not as bad as you, and not as narrow-minded as you. Even though I have a good-looking face, I can get roles based on my face. Why should you? With this?" Are you opening your mouth?"
"you……"
"Okay!" The little girl's agent took her away, "You don't have the guts to argue here whether you still want the role or not."
Shen Li didn't take this matter to heart.
Ye Jingjing came to comfort her: "Ali... is the best."
Shen Li smiled and said: "Idiot, how could I be angry with such a person!"
After saying this, WeChat received a message from Mo Yunzhuo.
[Wish you success. 】
Shen Li smiled and replied to him.
[I’ll bring you a gift if I succeed. 】
Cheng Qian came out in about ten minutes.
She walked directly to Shen Li.
Shen Li didn't ask her what the result was, so Cheng Qian said, "I guess she failed. The director asked her to go back and wait for news."
Shen Li said: "It's okay, it should be like this."
"Well, I'm leaving now, and you have to work hard."
"it is good."
Shen Li was tired of waiting, so she had lunch and squinted for a while before it was her turn.
She went to the bathroom, washed her face, tied her hair into a high ponytail and went in.
Seeing Meng Mingqian sitting there, Shen Li introduced herself without changing her expression.
"Hello everyone, my name is Shen Li."
The assistant director was a woman and she spoke first.
"Hello, which role are you auditioning for?"
"Second female, Xiao An."
"Okay, please start!"
Shen Li sat on the ground first, hugging one leg without any physical performance.
He raised his head and looked up.
She acted coquettishly and softly: "Concubine, I promised to learn a set of sword skills today, and I will make pear blossom cakes for An'er with my own hands."
The voice is childish and the cute little girl's posture is very vivid.
There is no one to play with, so I have to set the pace by myself.
"I know, mother and concubine, don't worry, the child will always remember his identity as a man."
Xiao An stood up and casually pulled out a prop sword next to him.
The smile was unrestrained and said, "Concubine, please be optimistic, my child will demonstrate his new swordsmanship for my concubine today."
Shen Li controlled the transition from a pretty girl to a handsome young man very well.
At this time, Xiao An was carefree, free and unrestrained, and his lively character could be seen in his sword skills.
Suddenly, the sword in his hand clattered to the ground.
His expression suddenly changed to sadness.
"Mother..."
While Xiao An was burying his mother, he cried with sadness and anger.
She suddenly stood up with her sword in hand, her eyes were scarlet, and her expression was gloomy and arrogant.
"I, Xiao An, raised two-foot swords and spears with my flesh and blood, guarded the mountains and rivers for Your Majesty, swept the nine states, and brought all the nations to come to court. Your Majesty actually harmed my mother and killed my youngest brother because you doubted my loyalty. Since the imperial court cannot tolerate my tens of thousands of iron hoofs, I will Destroy this country, overwhelm this territory, use blood to suppress loyalty, ah..."
This line is full of hatred and has the aura of looking forward to death, especially the last "ah", shouting out the unwillingness and hatred in his heart. Shen Li exaggerates the emotion to himself, as if he is in this situation. In this situation, the substitution is perfect.
She put the sword back into the prop rack.
"My performance is over, thank you all."
