Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 119 The audition begins

May 9th, sunny.

It's already the end of summer, but the temperature is still very high.

However, even this annoying temperature cannot compare to the heat in the three major universities today.

Beijing Film Academy.

It was the first time that the teachers in the college saw the campus full of students ready to go before dawn.

They might be practicing their voices, doing situational drills together, or simply exercising their bodies. In short, there were many different postures and it was very lively.

When Zhang Jingyi and Su Xiaotong walked out of the dormitory hand in hand, they were also slightly shocked by this scene.

Those students from Beijing Film Academy are really hardworking!
After the initial shock, Zhang Jingyi also started to get ready and performed a set of moves that left Su Xiaotong dumbfounded.

Eight-Section Brocade!
“What are you doing?”

Su Xiaotong was shocked and couldn't help but speak something in English.

"It's good for your health, do you want to try it?"

Zhang Jingyi raised her face and smiled innocently, then spoke in a soft voice.

Zhou Ye, who was still lying on the bed, looked at the photos taken by his roommate and secretly felt lucky that he did not participate in Feng Quan's audition, otherwise he would be among this group of people now.

Thinking of this, she rolled over happily and stretched her body to her heart's content.

"I just don't know what movie Ali is going to film. I'm really looking forward to it."

Zhou Ye stared at the dormitory ceiling absentmindedly, thinking silently.

Chinese drama.

After packing up and walking out of the dormitory, Zhang Xueying saw Zhao Jiamin who had just left the dormitory. She immediately waved and greeted him.

"Jiamin."

Zhao Jiamin, who had put on light makeup today, turned around when she heard the voice and smiled when she saw it was Zhang Xueying.

"Xueying."

The two approached each other and started chatting.

"It's so early today, Xueying."

"Yeah, I want to take a walk and relax. I'm so nervous."

"Me too. I haven't slept well this week."

"Then let's take a walk together and then have breakfast. Anyway, the people from Nanxun Culture won't be here until 9:30, so it's still early now."

"Okay, let's go together."

The two smiled at each other, held hands and walked towards the cafeteria.

The close and intimate posture did not show at all that the two were rivals competing for the same role.

I can only say that life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills.

Play.

At this time, Zhang Yaqin was calling her good friend Tian Xiwei.

"Xiaotian, I'm so nervous! Do you think I can pass the audition?"

"Oh, don't worry, I've asked Brother Ali for you. Just don't focus on the female lead. If you play the second female lead, just perform well and the chances of success are still very high."

"Really? So you mean the female lead has already been chosen?"

"I don't know about that. I just told him about your situation, and he said you can try to be the second female lead."

"Okay, then I'll perform well and try to get the role of the second female lead."

"Yeah, come on."

"Thank you, Xiaotian. I'll treat you to a good meal next time we meet."

"Haha, I'll remember that."

"Yeah, sure."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yaqin let out a deep breath.

Second female lead? She seems pretty good too.

After all, she is the second female lead in Nan Xun's adapted work. Normally, as long as the filming is not particularly bad, the popularity should not be low.

And the most important thing is that I will have a good chance to meet Lin Li on the crew.

She thought about her boyfriend and then compared him with Lin Li.

Well, my best friend’s boyfriend smells better.

I guess Tian Xiwei would never have thought that she was helping her best friend one second, and the next second her best friend had already started thinking about her boyfriend.

Half past nine in the morning.

Outside the activity room of Nanxun Culture Company, it was already crowded with auditioning actors from various film and television companies.

The auditions at the company were mainly conducted by Xu Fei, two newly recruited new directors, and two new screenwriters.

At this time, as the staff began to call people, the audition officially began.

"First one, Liu Haoran, please come in for the audition."

When the words fell, the nearly one hundred auditioning actors all turned their eyes to the low-key figure.

He just walked up and nodded to the staff, then walked calmly into the meeting room.

"The first one is Liu Haoran. I feel a lot of pressure."

"Why would a movie star like him come here to argue with us? Really."

"After all, this is a play produced by Nanxun Culture. Look at this company, it's so impressive."

……

As Liu Haoran entered, the auditioners present began to talk about it. After all, facing a strong opponent like Liu Haoran was quite stressful for them.

If he succeeds in the interview, it means they have one less chance.

In addition to Liu Haoran, there were many familiar faces at the scene, including Yi Yang Qianxi, Ju Jingyi, Zhang Huiwen and others.

In the corner, Peng Yuchang, wearing a black baseball cap, looked up and glanced at Liu Haoran who had just walked in, then turned his gaze back to the biography in front of him.

This was the character biography he wrote after reading the entire Wind Dog series, and it was also the source of his confidence in getting the role. Although Liu Haoran who just entered was very famous, so what?
He is the designated contestant!

Plus, I've made sufficient preparations, so I'm not panicking at all.

Beijing Film Academy.

The school specially cleared out a large rehearsal room for the audition team of Nanxun Culture. At this time, Zhao Qian and others were already looking through the audition candidates' information in it.

When Zhao Qian saw Zhang Jingyi's information, he deliberately paused and looked at it carefully.

"No.1 in the acting department of Beijing Film Academy? His appearance is quite recognizable, but I don't know how his acting is. Since he is the first, it shouldn't be too bad."

Zhao Qian pondered silently.

Although Lin Li had explained it, as a director, he naturally didn't want the actors' acting skills to be too bad.

Outside the rehearsal room, there were at least three hundred people waiting for audition.

The whole corridor was noisy. Some were discussing, some were sifting through the original work, and some were even performing directly to the air. It was a very lively scene.

Zhang Jingyi was also sitting on a bench with Su Xiaotong, flipping through the biography she had written and making some changes with a pen from time to time.

Su Xiaotong was full of admiration when she saw this: "Jingyi, if you succeed in the audition today, I won't be envious at all, you really work hard."

Su Xiaotong meant what she said. She has a more casual personality to begin with, and after getting to know Zhang Jingyi, she developed a liking for this roommate with a nice personality.

What's more, she had witnessed with her own eyes these few days that Zhang Jingyi was preparing for the audition without any appetite. She felt that she was not as hardworking as Zhang Jingyi, but she really thought that Zhang Jingyi was working too hard.

When Zhang Jingyi heard her words, she looked up and grinned at her, then continued to look down.

Su Xiaotong wanted to say something, but when she saw her like this, she had to give up reluctantly.

"Guo Zifan, please prepare for the audition."

"Hey, it's coming."

Following a shout from the staff, Guo Zifan hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd, responding while tidying up his appearance.

When he was ready, he took a deep breath, then pushed the door open and walked in under everyone's gaze.

Everyone is watching to see if this new traffic star can get off to a good start.

What surprised everyone was that in less than five minutes, Guo Zifan walked out with a frustrated look on his face.

It looks like he was rejected?

Wang Junkai, who was standing by, went over to meet him upon seeing this.

"What's going on, Zifan?"

"Isn't it obvious?"

"Well, the audition is very strict?"

"Don't mention it. Director Zhao is too serious. He didn't give me any face at all and directly said that my acting skills are too bad and not suitable."

"Is it that direct?"

"Yeah, I'm stupid."

The conversation between the two was also heard by several people who were nearby, and then it spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and soon everyone knew about it.

Director Zhao was very strict during today’s audition?

For a moment, everyone felt sympathetic, and the tone of voice in the entire corridor dropped significantly.

Su Xiaotong looked at Zhang Jingyi with a bitter face: "Jingyi, I feel like today is a bit uncertain. Do you think our Beijing Film Academy will be completely wiped out? That would be too embarrassing."

Zhang Jingyi smiled and comforted her: "Hey, this is only the first one, don't be nervous, relax."

Su Xiaotong leaned her head on her shoulder, looking worried: "I hope so."

During this period, more people kept going in and out, but everyone found that everyone's expressions were similar.

He went in with a nervous look on his face and came out with a depressed look on his face, and the atmosphere on the scene became more and more depressing.

"Su Xiaotong, are you there?"

"Ah, here I come, I'm here."

After a while, Su Xiaotong heard the staff calling her name and quickly agreed, stood up and was about to go over.

"Come on, Xiaotong!"

Zhang Jingyi clenched her fist to cheer for Su Xiaotong.

"come on!"

Su Xiaotong also responded to her with a clenched fist, then walked into the rehearsal room with a fearless expression on her face.

Unexpectedly, Su Xiaotong came out faster this time.

After about three minutes, Su Xiaotong walked out with a dejected look on her face, which attracted a lot of attention. After all, she was also a star student at Beijing Film Academy.

Zhang Jingyi came over and looked concerned: "What's wrong, Xiaotong?"

Su Xiaotong looked at her with an unpleasant expression: "Don't mention it. I was too nervous. I showed my fear during the performance and stuttered. Director Zhao scolded me severely and asked me to leave before the performance was over."

"Jingyi, you have to be careful. He's very fierce."

Zhang Jingyi was also a little flustered when she heard this and nodded repeatedly.

"Zhang Jingyi, is Zhang Jingyi here?"

"Here I am!"

At this time, Zhang Jingyi heard a staff member calling her and responded loudly.

Su Xiaotong hugged her tightly, and then told her seriously: "Jingyi, you must work hard. You have worked so hard, you must perform well."

Zhang Jingyi pursed her lips and nodded heavily: "Okay."

After adjusting his breathing and tidying up his clothes, he walked towards the rehearsal room and pushed the door open with a nervous mood.

Even though she knew that Lin Li must have given notice in advance, she was still a little unsure at this moment because of the performance of these people before.

But when she thought of her dream and Lin Li who had paved the way for her, her gaze became firm again.

That fierce director, here I come!
