Chapter 459 Why? !
Beijing.
After the initial joy, Zhao Liying fell into the distress of worrying about gains and losses.
Although she had been selected by director Teng Huatao, Director Teng was not actually satisfied with her performance, so when he sent her out, he kept asking her to adjust her state, remove those unnecessary things, and try to perform in her true colors.
This made Zhao Liying a little confused. Since Jiang Xin, her half-teacher, was not around, she could only try to get the hang of it in front of the mirror. However, the more she adjusted, the more uncomfortable she felt.
All the acting skills she had worked so hard to learn seemed to have become a spider web wrapped around her body. The harder she tried to break free, the tighter and stiffer she became.
Later, she didn't dare to try again, for fear that she would go further astray and end up making things worse.
It’s better to wait for Sister Yi Yan and Sister Jiang Xin to come back and then ask them for help - in fact, Xiao Zhao would like to ask Hao Lei or Li Xiaolu for help, but she is not familiar with either of them at all and doesn’t dare to ask them casually like Liu Shishi did.
After having instant noodles with vegetables and eggs in the evening, Zhao Liying wanted to distract herself by watching TV, but she couldn't concentrate even after switching through more than a dozen channels.
So she unconsciously picked up the script on the bedside table, flipped through it, and then went to the floor-length mirror. When she came to her senses, she had already been making faces in front of the mirror for a long time.
Wrong~
I can’t mess around on my own anymore!
Zhao Liying rubbed her collagen-covered face and decided to temporarily "seal" the floor-length mirror with a bed sheet.
But without the mirror, she still couldn't help wanting to figure out the character - for more than half a year, she had been working at a high intensity and had developed the muscle memory of "studying" the script as soon as she saw it.
But now the script is right beside me, but I can't try to figure out the role. It's as uncomfortable as quitting smoking in a smoking room.
"I'm sick!"
She rolled around holding the quilt using her hands and feet, and suddenly two long legs flashed through her mind.
Yup!
You can ask Sister Wang for advice!
She jumped out of bed and searched inside and outside, only then did she find her second-hand bird, lying quietly in the corner of the bed against the wall.
After looking through the recent calls, Zhao Liying quickly found the call record named "Sister Wang Ou" and called back.
She has been busy with the film crew for more than six months, and Wang Ou has not been idle either, so the two of them have not met very often, but they always call each other from time to time - of course, it is usually Wang Ou who calls first.
"Sister Ou."
After the call was connected, Zhao Liying asked directly: "Are you free now? I have some questions about acting and would like to ask you for advice."
After Wang Ou found out what was going on, he immediately invited Zhao Liying to his newly rented apartment to discuss the performance and get acquainted with the place.
But after hanging up the phone, Wang Ou stared at the art photo that had just been hung on the wall for a long time.
"Behind the Tenderness" was broadcast at the end of March. Neither Tang Yan nor Zhao Liying made much splash. However, the character of the sales lady Zhuoran, played by her, became a little famous thanks to the spread of the Internet.
If not for this, she would not be able to rent this two-bedroom, one-living-room house on her own.
Originally, Wang Ou was a little complacent about this, thinking that he had seen the dawn of success. As long as he continued to work hard, he would succeed sooner or later.
But after receiving Zhao Liying's call, her good mood disappeared, and she felt as if a basin of cold water was poured over her head.
Why? !
In terms of figure, looks, and acting skills, in what way am I inferior to Xiao Zhao? !
While she was still feeling complacent about her little bit of popularity on the Internet, Xiao Zhao had already been chosen to become the heroine of the sister series of the hit drama!
You have to know that the previous movie "Double-Sided Adhesive Tape" made Hao Lei, who played the heroine, return to the top from almost disappearing!
Why?! If it was someone who graduated from a professional school or had an extraordinary family background, Wang Ou would be envious but would not care too much, after all, the two sides were not on the same level.
But what about Zhao Liying?
Their family backgrounds are not much better than mine, they are all outsiders who changed careers halfway through their studies. After all, I have been practicing dancing since I was a child...
Although Wang Ou had known for a long time that Zhao Liying had married someone rich, she still found it hard to accept such a blatant disparity.
It was not until Zhao Liying went downstairs to make a phone call that she broke free from her jealousy and hurriedly cleaned up the house while calming down her mood.
A few minutes later.
Wang Ou smiled and let Zhao Liying into the house: "I just moved in not long ago, the house is very messy, please don't laugh at me."
"Wow, this is much better than my doghouse!"
Zhao Liying placed the script on the coffee table, curiously walked around the room, and finally stopped at the south wall covered with artistic photos. She exclaimed: "Sister Ou, you models really know how to pose. The photos I took don't have this sense of fashion."
That's because there's something rustic about you!
Wang Ou secretly complained in his heart, but said modestly: "No matter how well the photos are taken, they are just decorations. As actors, we still need to move to see the real thing."
Speaking of action, Zhao Liying hurriedly handed the script to Wang Ou and said, "Sister Wang, please take a look at the basic character setting first, then watch my performance, and see where the problem lies and how to solve it."
Wang Ou took the script, sat on the sofa and read it carefully - it contained basic character settings and a story outline, but no specific lines. After all, according to the rules, the script could not be easily leaked before filming began.
After reading the script, Wang Ou felt mixed emotions because she felt that she was more suitable for the role than Zhao Liying!
Moreover, just from the story outline, it can be seen that this drama has the potential to become a big hit - as a person who has just completed the procedures for renting a house, Wang Ou understands too well the anxiety that young people in today's cities feel when faced with soaring housing prices.
If I could get this role...
"Sister Ou? Sister Ou?"
It was not until Zhao Liying called her twice that she woke up from her fantasy and quickly covered it up, saying, "This is a great story. You must seize this opportunity!"
Zhao Liying nodded vigorously: "I'm just afraid of screwing up, so I want to adjust it as soon as possible!"
Wang Ou took the opportunity to let her perform a segment.
After watching it, Wang Ou couldn't tell what the problem was, but it just felt a bit awkward - at this stage her acting skills are slightly better than Zhao Liying's, but not much better.
"Ah~"
Seeing Wang Ou like this, Zhao Liying sat on the sofa helplessly and kicked her legs, saying, "It seems that we can only wait for Sister Yi Yan and Sister Jiang Xin to come back."
He said it unintentionally, but listened with intent.
Wang Ou felt that she couldn't underestimate him, so he picked up the script and flipped through it again, trying to find a breakthrough and show off his skills.
As a result, at this moment, Zhao Liying's Bird cell phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and found it was an unfamiliar number.
After the call was connected, a somewhat cold female voice came from the other end of the line: "Zhao Liying?"
"I'm."
Zhao Liying felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it before. However, she still instinctively said, "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
"My name is Jiang Wenli. Someone asked me to help you analyze the script and adjust your state. Tomorrow morning at 8:30, please come to XX Road XX Community. I will contact you by phone then."
