Chapter 456 From the Inside Out
[I officially moved to my new home today. I was busy for most of the day. I will update twice.]
When Zhao Liying came out of the bathroom, she felt a lot more relaxed, but her heart was still empty.
When will I be able to truly make a name for myself and no longer be looked down upon or discriminated against?
With the upcoming "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio"?
But she is only the second female lead in a unit, and nearly half of the plot is spent playing the villain fox demon. If this role could be popular, how could Yang Mi remain unknown until now?
Just when Zhao Liying was a little confused, Jiang Yiyan suddenly called her. After she answered the phone, she went straight to the point and asked her to go find Teng Huatao for an audition.
"Audition?"
Zhao Liying asked in confusion: "Sister Yiyan, didn't you say before that there was no role suitable for me in "Dwelling Narrowness"? "
"There wasn't one originally, but now there is, and she's the leading lady!"
Jiang Yiyan explained excitedly: "Director Teng originally chose Jiang Xin to play the female lead Hai Zao because of her acting skills in "So Young", but the screenwriter was not very satisfied with her and thought that he should find a more beautiful girl.
He also said that it would be best to have the feeling of coming from the countryside to the city and being full of longing for everything - when I heard this request, I thought, isn't it you? !"
Zhao Liying: “…”
Jiang Yiyan continued, "Because the previous film, Double-Sided Adhesive Tape, was a big hit, the investors also valued the screenwriter's opinions. Director Teng Huatao was in a dilemma, and finally Jiang Xin took the initiative to withdraw from the crew."
Although Jiang Yiyan's words just now made Zhao Liying feel like she was hit by an arrow in the knee, after she reacted, she was still extremely excited and immediately asked for Teng Huatao's contact information.
After Jiang Yiyan sent a text message, she reminded her to work hard and not to embarrass herself and Brother Kun.
Zhao Liying excitedly contacted Teng Huatao, asked for the address, and went directly to his door.
It was not until the taxi was halfway there that she remembered to contact her agent Huang Bin.
Huang Bin was very happy when he heard about this at first, but when he heard that Zhao Liying had contacted Teng Huatao directly and was preparing to go for an audition, he became anxious and stamped his feet.
"Since it's Sister Yi Yan's recommendation, there's no way around it. Why are you so anxious? You're not a newcomer anymore, why don't you use your brain?!"
According to Huang Bin, the best thing to do right now is to talk to Jiang Xin about the script and the character, spend two or three days preparing, and then go for the audition, so as to be prepared.
Like Zhao Liying, she didn't even read the script and went straight to the audition. If she performed terribly, wouldn't this pie-in-the-sky opportunity be wasted? !
What's even more dangerous is that the person who was forced to give up this role was Jiang Xin - although Zhao Liying has grown a lot in the past six months, basically equivalent to her level in 2010 in the original time and space, she is still a little worse than Jiang Xin.
This one has good acting skills and is well prepared, while the other has poor acting skills and is totally unprepared. Comparing the two...
After listening to Huang Bin's analysis, Zhao Liying was immediately at a loss, and almost cried, "What should I do? I've already contacted Director Teng, I can't not go over now, right?"
"This……"
Huang Bin hesitated for a moment, but still said, "I'm afraid we have to ask Brother Kun to come forward for this matter - you contact Sister Yi Yan first and see what she says!"
Zhao Liying hung up the phone and hurriedly prepared to call Jiang Yiyan, but suddenly heard the taxi driver say, "Girl, we've arrived."
Only then did Zhao Liying realize that the car had unknowingly stopped outside a dance training class.
Zhao Liying had no choice but to pay the fare, get out of the car, and squat on the curb to make a phone call.
After Jiang Yiyan heard her retelling, she also realized that this matter was a bit rash, but she certainly couldn't admit that it was her fault, so she scolded her unhappily: "How come you've been in the industry for two years and you're still so impatient."
"Sister Yiyan, I was so happy that I lost my mind. Look at me now..."
"Let me ask Brother Kun first."
In this way, the ball was finally kicked to Xu Kun.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Kun shrugged and said to Jiang Wenli, who was sitting in the passenger seat, "Your daughter is in trouble. Let me make a call first." "My daughter?"
"When we were filming Golden Wedding in 06, didn't our Huayi insert a girl who came from a talent show?"
After hearing what Xu Kun said, Jiang Wenli had some impression, but she couldn't remember the girl's name. She just remembered that the girl was a complete layman and only managed to finish the few scenes with the help of the crew's hands-on teaching.
"Young girls are better."
Watching Xu Kun looking through the phone book, Jiang Wenli said with some bitterness: "No matter how well you act, people will feel sorry for you wherever you go!"
Xu Kun smiled and said nothing, then directly dialed Teng Huatao's cell phone number.
"...Did you see her upstairs? Haha, the girl is quite down-to-earth - the screenwriter thinks she's okay, right? Then give her a few days to prepare. After all, she's not a professional, so she might be a little slow to get into the state.
...Yes, no matter what, she can't be worse than those two singers - I guess she should be about the same as Liu Shishi, OK, let her go find Jiang Xin first, and we'll contact her later about the rest."
When Xu Kun hung up the phone again, Jiang Wenli couldn't help rolling her eyes and said, "No wonder there are always some bad dramas being made nowadays. You directors, don't you care about anything else as long as the girl is pretty?"
"How can it be."
Xu Kun said seriously: "Body shape is also very important."
After hearing this, Jiang Wenli suddenly said, "Pull over!"
As he said that, he put his hand on the door handle.
Xu Kun glanced at her and saw that she looked very serious with a straight face, so he asked with a smile: "Why, did you hurt your self-esteem with just one sentence?"
Jiang Wenli said coldly: "In fact, the reason I looked for you at the beginning was mainly to give myself a motivation to be myself again. As for whether it is you in the end, it is actually not that important to me."
"It's the same as killing the donkey after it's done its work."
As Xu Kun was talking, he really pulled the car to the side of the road, parked it close to the curb, and said to Jiang Wenli, "Actually, when we met this time, I felt something was wrong. You didn't seem to be here to have fun, but rather to vent your anger.
If that's the case, then you've found the wrong person. I'm not your little puppy, and I have no obligation to provide you with any emotional value."
Jiang Wenli was silent for a moment after hearing what Xu Kun said, and then asked, "If you are not willing to go along with me and make me feel better, why would I look for you?"
"That's what I said."
This time it was Xu Kun's turn to roll his eyes: "It's not like I asked you to find me."
After saying that, seeing Jiang Wenli about to push the door and get out of the car, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Besides, with our relationship, if you want emotional value, you can find another way."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Jiang Wenli: "Give me your hand."
"what?"
Jiang Wenli stared at him suspiciously for a while, and when he repeatedly gestured for her to put her hand on him, she gently placed her newly softened hand on Xu Kun's palm.
Without hesitation, Xu Kun guided her hand to the middle gear lever, and Jiang Wenli's expression quickly changed from confusion to shock.
“Sometimes, this emotional value can also be found in a different way, from the outside in. What do you think?”
