Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 120 The Director is Very Nice
After entering the rehearsal room, Zhang Jingyi looked up and saw the center of the empty rehearsal room. Next to a long table, five people in charge of the audition, led by Zhao Qian, were sitting in their seats with smiles on their faces, silently watching her arrival.

On both sides of the rehearsal room, there were about a dozen staff members on standby.

There is also a camera faithfully recording the entire audition process. If an actor succeeds in the audition, these processes may be posted online as a means of publicity.

After seeing Zhao Qian, Zhang Jingyi's first reaction was, doesn't this director look quite kind?

How could it be as fierce as they said before?

"Hello, Director Zhao, and hello, teachers."

As she came closer, Zhang Jingyi bowed and greeted him with a nervous mood.

Zhao Qian greeted with a kind smile: "Hello, classmate. This is Zhang Jingyi, right? The girl has good grades and is ranked first in the acting department this year. That's amazing."

"Thank you Director Zhao for the compliment."

"I see the female lead you're auditioning for is Li Anran, right? Before the audition, I'd like to hear what you think of the character of Li Anran."

"Okay, Director Zhao."

Zhang Jingyi wondered why the process was different from that of others. She didn’t seem to have heard of explaining one’s understanding of the character first.

Zhao Qian exchanged glances with several of his old partners from the Tragedy crew, and everyone understood and began to look at the girl in front of them seriously.

Before coming, Zhao Qian told them that there was a girl who General Manager Lin had specifically asked them to take care of.

We are all veterans in the circle, how can we not understand what it means.

But they were also a little curious about the relationship between this young girl from Beijing Film Academy and their General Manager Lin.

Today, Zhang Jingyi wore a ponytail, a pure black short-sleeved shirt and high-waisted trousers. Her slightly youthful and immature image made Zhao Qian and others nod their heads repeatedly.

Zhang Jingyi has a standard oval face, clear eyes and a delicate little face, giving people a feeling of being pure, well-behaved and having excellent grades.

Not to mention anything else, just from the appearance, Zhao Qian and others are very satisfied with her image, which is very consistent with the appearance of the heroine in the play.

After pondering for a few seconds, Zhang Jingyi opened her mouth and told Zhao Qian and others the biographies of the characters she had summarized in the past few days.

"Although her name is An Ran, she is not at peace at heart. She is beautiful, secretly rebellious, direct and frank in love, and a little brave."

"Later, Li Anran showed a side that was completely different from her appearance. She climbed the wall faster than Dog Brother, wore a skirt that was totally unsuitable for her to go to the night market, and sang "Spring Flowers Will Bloom" to loudly confess her love to Liu Wenqin."

“If you know you like someone, work hard to get him/her, and don’t be afraid of being embarrassed if you’re rejected.”

"If the other party disappears without a word, I will get to the bottom of it even if he transfers to another school. Otherwise, I will never accept it."

“Not giving up easily is An Ran’s first lesson in love.”

"On the day of the school's cultural performance, Liu Wenqin was released from detention. Brother Gou found Liu Wenqin again. He knew that An Ran needed a proper farewell."

"Liu Wenqin sang "Love of My Life" again in front of all the graduates, announcing the end of this relationship."

"After the song was over, the smart An Ran of course understood. This time she didn't chase after him, nor did she cry. She said: In fact, I had already been heartbroken a year ago. I was just waiting for an ending. It's good enough to have a beginning and an end."

"Be brave in pursuing love, be stubborn, and see it through to the end."

"After Gou Ge's father passed away, Li Anran, a girl who had never been in the kitchen, cooked for Gou Ge every day."

"Later, Lao Gou experienced the death of his father, dropped out of school, ran a marathon, and took the college entrance examination. An Ran was always by his side. She could feel his pain and accompanied him through the most difficult lows."

"If he hadn't met An Ran in his senior year of high school, he wouldn't have been admitted to university, he wouldn't have had such a wonderful relationship, and he wouldn't have such a promising future."

"An Ran slowly began to really like Lao Gou. She fell in love with Liu Wenqin at first sight. It was a love that was full of hormones, strong and impulsive. This kind of love could not be stopped."

"The love for an old dog is a kind of affection that grows over time. It is the love that comes from the goodness of the old dog that comes from the daily interactions. It is a deep love that comes from trust, companionship and return. It is like an alliance."

"The best thing An Ran did was that when she realized that a relationship had ended, she did not dwell on the past, but resolutely chose to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new."

"I have loved, I have tried, I have fought for it, and when I know it's not working, I let it go and live my own life."

"She is a very brave girl who dares to love and hate."

"Director Zhao, this is my understanding of the character Li Anran."

After a well-reasoned speech, Zhang Jingyi bowed to Zhao Qian and others, indicating that she had finished her speech.

"clap clap"

After Zhang Jingyi finished her speech, Zhao Qian and others gave their applause without hesitation.

When Zhao Qian looked at Zhang Jingyi again, there was a hint of certainty in his eyes.

He didn't expect that the hostess candidate, whom Lin Li had greeted in advance, would perform so well. It could be heard that she had obviously put in some real effort.

This made him feel much better, as he was originally a little worried. At least he could see that Zhang Jingyi was sincere.

"Student Zhang Jingyi, what you said was very good and your understanding was very deep."

"Then there is a clip next, which is the scene you just mentioned where Li Anran sang a song to confess her love to Liu Wenqin. I need you to perform it. Any questions?"

Zhao Qian first expressed his affirmation of Zhang Jingyi's performance, and then asked her to audition for a clip.

Although I know in my heart that the heroine is the person in front of me, I still have to go through the necessary procedures.

He also wanted to see how Zhang Jingyi, who had given him some surprises, performed. He was quite satisfied with her performance. It would be even better if her acting skills were also good.

"No problem, Director Zhao. I'll get ready."

Zhang Jingyi responded with a serious face.

Then she took a deep breath and cleared her throat, her expression gradually becoming firm.

"Director Zhao, can you lend me a book?"

"No problem, give it to her." After thinking for a while, Zhang Jingyi felt that something was missing, so she asked Zhao Qian for it.

Zhao Qian did not hesitate to ask the staff to pick up a physical book of Wind Dog on the table and hand it to her.

"Thank you, Director Zhao."

After expressing her gratitude to Zhao Qian, Zhang Jingyi rolled the book in her hand into a cylinder shape, clenched her hands and placed them to her mouth, then closed her eyes and began to gather her emotions.

Zhao Qian and others also concentrated their attention and waited attentively for Zhang Jingyi's performance.

Suddenly, Zhang Jingyi opened her eyes.

Her eyes began to turn slightly red, and as she opened her mouth, her voice with a hint of crying echoed in the rehearsal room.

"In spring, flowers bloom and birds fly freely"

"I'm still waiting~waiting for you to come back!"

"Always pretending to be casual when passing by your door"

"Looking forward to your beautiful figure coming from afar"

"My love~"

"Waiting~"

"Wait for you to come back~"

"My angel, my love~"

"I am not afraid of wind and sun for you~"

"It's fate that has arranged this~"

……

When she sang the last sentence, Zhang Jingyi's trembling voice and tearful face had already given Zhao Qian and others a great surprise.

sure!
Zhao Qian didn't expect that Zhang Jingyi's performance would be so amazing!
He originally thought that Zhang Jingyi was just a person with connections.

But Zhang Jingyi's performance amazed him time and time again. Now, even if Lin Li didn't say hello in advance, he wanted to use this girl in front of him as the heroine of the play.

This also completely eliminated any slight resentment he had towards Lin Li. After all, as a director, both the male and female lead roles had been decided in advance. Although he didn't say it, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

He was also afraid that Lin Li would send some relatives and friends with poor acting skills to join him, which would also affect the final broadcast effect of the show.

The male lead is okay. After all, he has worked with Peng Peng before and he trusts Peng Peng's acting skills.

But he was really worried about this girl named Zhang Jingyi, a freshman at Beijing Film Academy who had never acted in any work.

But now Zhao Qian just wanted to say, "It smells so good!".

"Zhao, Director Zhao, I'm done with my performance."

Zhang Jingyi, whose emotions had already been expressed, shrugged and wiped her tears from time to time while reporting to Zhao Qian that her performance was over.

"Good, Zhang Jingyi performed really well."

"Well, calm down and go out to rest. We will announce the audition results on our Nanxun Culture official website and official blog at 10 o'clock tonight, so just pay attention to them."

"Of course, our staff will also notify you via text message."

"Okay, thank you Director Zhao, thank you teachers."

Zhang Jingyi bowed and walked out of the rehearsal room with the friendly smiles of Zhao Qian and others.

Seeing Zhang Jingyi coming out wiping her tears, Su Xiaotong, who was waiting outside the rehearsal room, hurried over to support her.

"Jingyi, why did your audition take so long? Why are you crying? Oh, I told you that Director Zhao is very fierce."

Zhang Jingyi, who was wiping her tears, was stunned for a moment, then recalled the interview process, and the smile that Zhao Qian always had on his face emerged in her mind.

"Director Zhao, he seems like a very nice person?"

"Ah? What's wrong with that? You're crying now."

"Oh, this is just a clip from my performance. I'm still not out of my emotions."

"you sure?"

"I'm sure of it, really."

"I think Director Zhao is quite kind."

"Are you sure it's friendly and not nuclear?"

"really."

Su Xiaotong recalled Zhao Qian's expressionless face during her audition, and the scene where she was ruthlessly kicked out by Zhao Qian immediately after she made a mistake in her lines.

She looked at Zhang Jingyi suspiciously, then turned to look at the rehearsal room behind her and spoke with some uncertainty.

"Are we talking about the same person?"

Zhang Jingyi thought about it, and then looked at Su Xiaotong's performance and suddenly felt a little unconfident.

"Maybe, should, perhaps, right?"

The original clip of singing is also very classic. I wrote it while watching the video.
