Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 453 The audition begins, shining into reality
Audition room.

Lin Li, Xu Fei and others sat in two rows in front of the center of the venue. In front of each row of seats was a long table, on which were placed the actors' audition materials, drinking water, etc.

Lin Li was not idle at the moment, and was looking through the actor's information.

Although the female lead has been chosen, many supporting roles still need to be screened through auditions, and he also needs to do some research.

The second female lead, Ren Di, is a cool character. He thought about it for a while, but couldn't think of a particularly suitable one. He could only wait for the next audition to see.

"Director Lin, the time is up."

The staff member in charge of running the tables walked up to Lin Li and reminded him.

"Well, let's get started."

Lin Li responded casually, and after the staff left, he picked up the audition materials and glanced at them, then his eyes paused.

Is it such a coincidence?
At this time, the first audition actor also walked over with the staff. After seeing the newcomer, all the audition team members sitting in their seats smiled.

"Hello, everyone. I am the auditioning actress Chen Duling, and I am auditioning for the female lead Zhu Yun."

In the center of the venue, Chen Duling greeted everyone in a graceful and generous manner, introducing herself in a clear voice.

After she finished her introduction, Xu Fei and the others all looked towards Lin Li at the same time, their eyes full of anticipation for a good show.

Chen Duling also looked at Lin Li with a smile on her face, a hint of mischief flashing in her clear eyes.

"Hey, hello, Mr. Chen, please interpret the content of this paragraph."

"One minute to prepare."

Lin Li coughed dryly, and then, under the watchful eyes of Xu Fei and others, he handed the paper he had prepared in advance to the staff member standing beside him, who then passed it to Chen Duling.

Chen Duling secretly laughed when she saw Lin Li pretending to be serious, and then she took the audition script handed to her by the staff and started reading it.

After taking a closer look, Chen Duling was stunned for a moment, then raised her head to look at Lin Li. Seeing that he was avoiding her gaze, the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

"Director, I'm ready."

Chen Duling spoke directly.

"Please begin your performance."

Lin Li sat up straight and looked up at her.

……

Outside the corridor, after seeing Chen Duling enter, many actresses kept looking towards the door of the audition room.

Chen Duling put too much pressure on them. If she responded well, their hopes would undoubtedly be much slimmer.

Zhang Ruonan and others did the same, staring at the door of the audition room, wanting to see Chen Duling's reaction after she came out of the audition.

At this moment, the door of the audition room suddenly opened, and Chen Duling walked out with a smile on her face, showing no emotion at all, just the same as when she just entered.

What's happening here?
And how could it be so fast? It took about three minutes?

Everyone was wondering in their hearts. Zhang Ruonan looked at Chen Duling's slowly approaching figure. Combined with some things that happened today, he had some vague guesses in his mind.

After Chen Duling came out, she did not leave, but went back to sit next to Reba, and the two started chatting again.

The people at the scene became increasingly confused.

"Next one, Zhang Huiwen."

The staff member shouted again in the corridor.

"coming."

Zhang Huiwen responded, patted his chest and entered the audition room.

however……

She also came out in less than three minutes, with a very strange look on her face.

The people at the scene were even more surprised and came forward to ask about what was going on inside.

"So how did he audition?"

Reba glanced at the slightly noisy scene ahead and looked at Chen Duling with interest.

"Just one line."

Chen Duling met her gaze and smiled.

"Hmm? Shouldn't there be about four scenes with dialogue normally? One scene should take up at least one A4 page, right?"

Reba's eyebrows were twisted together, and her face was full of confusion.

“Maybe it’s for efficiency.”

Chen Duling tilted his head and pondered for a moment, then thought of a plausible reason.

"Is this person so impatient?"

Reba had a ridiculous look on her face. She glanced at the two girls opposite her, especially Zhang Jingyi's face, where she stayed for a moment, with a hint of envy in her eyes.

If the audition is successful, I can film with Lin Li.

You can be close to each other openly in front of the people you are with and spend every day together.

tsk...

If only I could be a few years younger.

In the following time, Li Yitong, Meng Ziyi, Song Zuer, and Su Xiaotong entered the audition room one after another. Without exception, they all finished the audition in less than three minutes.

At this point, all the auditioning actors in the corridor already knew that the audition would only consist of one line.

A very simple line.

But it's such a simple line, and it seems that no one has been able to say it well so far.

Many people have complaints in their hearts, what can a line of dialogue reflect?
Moreover, using one line as the audition content, isn't our teacher Nan Xun a little too eccentric?
"Next, Teacher Zhang Ruonan."

With a shout from the staff member, all eyes in the corridor were focused on Zhang Ruonan.

Zhang Ruonan maintained a faint smile, slowly stood up, nodded to the staff, and prepared to head to the audition room.

"Come on, Sister Ruonan!"

Zhou Ye clenched his fist and gestured to her.

"Ah."

Zhang Ruonan gave her a faint smile and then walked away.

"Ah……"

Tian Xiwei sneered upon seeing this, with a look of disdain on her face.

"what's so funny?!"

Zhou Ye turned to look at her, his two slender eyebrows twisted together.

"Why, do I need to report to you for smiling?"

Tian Xiwei glanced at her and spoke in a coquettish voice.

"you……"

"Okay, yeah, there are so many people here, don't get too excited."

Li Yitong grabbed Zhou Ye who was about to get up and patted her hand to comfort her.

"Humph!"

Zhou Ye glanced at the situation in the corridor and knew that this was not the place to be rash. He hummed in dissatisfaction and turned around without looking at Tian Xiwei.

Out of sight!

Seeing this, Tian Xiwei stopped paying attention to her and looked towards the door of the audition room.

In her opinion, if Zhang Ruonan's audition was also unsuccessful, then her chances of success would undoubtedly be much higher. On the other hand, Zhang Ruonan had already introduced herself in front of Lin Li and others.

"Ruonan, you all should know the content of the audition. Do you need to review it again?"

Lin Li asked while looking at Zhang Ruonan in the field with a smile.

"No, give me thirty seconds."

Zhang Ruonan said softly with her hands behind her back.

When she arched her eyebrows, a ray of sunlight from the window shone onto her face, making her smile look a little more healing than usual.

"it is good."

Lin Li responded and leaned forward slightly, looking forward to Zhang Ruonan's performance.

There is a saying in the original time and space to describe her, "The moment Zhang Ruonan cried, the whole world was wrong."

This statement is certainly exaggerated, but it also indirectly shows that Xiao Zhang's acting skills and empathy are very good when playing works with themes of youth pain.

This sentence is undoubtedly a high recognition, so Lin Li is still very eager to see her next performance.

After a moment, Zhang Ruonan slowly raised her fair face, her eyes firm, her gaze fixed on herself, and her thin lips slightly opened.

"Li Xun, choose me. I will never betray you."

The slightly heavy voice was full of conviction.

Not to mention Lin Li, Wei Shujun, Zhao Qian and others on the side all had their eyes light up. They exchanged glances with the people next to them and nodded in approval.

Lin Li took in their expressions, but remained silent and looked at Zhang Ruonan.

"Okay Ruonan, you did a good job, go back and wait for news."

Lin Li's voice was clear, but no emotion could be heard.

"Okay, thank you Director Lin, and thank you all the audition teachers."

Zhang Ruonan was confused, but she kept smiling, bowed to express her gratitude, and then turned and walked away.

"Boss Lin, can you please be honest? I think both Miss Chen and Miss Zhang performed well. Are they not worthy of your approval?"

Wei Shujun was a bit impatient and couldn't help asking.

"Director Wei, don't be impatient. Let's wait and see."

Lin Li smiled at him and gestured with his hand.

"Ok."

Wei Shujun responded and said no more.

In the corridor.

Seeing Zhang Ruonan walking back like the previous actor, Tian Xiwei's eyes flashed with surprise and she sat up straight.

It seems that Zhang Ruonan is not performing well either, so her chance has come!
"How is it, Sister Ruonan?"

Seeing Zhang Ruonan sitting down, Zhou Ye asked impatiently.

“I guess it’s not very good.”

Zhang Ruonan pondered for a moment and answered uncertainly.

"What do you mean?"

Zhou Ye tilted his head in confusion, blinking his eyelashes, like a curious Samoyed.

"I guess it depends on you."

A smile spread across Zhang Ruonan's eyes. She raised her hand and pinched Zhou Ye's fair face and spoke softly.

"Ah! Is it that difficult?"

“I’m feeling a bit stressed right now.”

Zhou Ye pursed his lips, frowned, and gradually lost his confidence.

So many people have failed, and there are many actresses who are more famous and have better acting skills than themselves, and many of them are familiar with Lin Li, such as Sister Ruonan in front of him.

She had to admit that she was starting to panic.

"Next, Teacher Zhang Jingyi."

At this moment, the staff's voice was heard again in the corridor.

"Here I am."

Zhou Ye only heard Zhang Jingyi's response from beside him. When he turned around, he saw that Zhang Jingyi had already stood up.

"Come on Jingyi."

"Jingyi is waiting for your good news."

Tian Xiwei and Su Xiaotong stood up to cheer Zhang Jingyi on.

"Ok!"

Zhang Jingyi nodded heavily, then took a deep breath and walked towards the audition room.

Zhou Ye was cheered up when he saw this. He almost forgot that Zhang Jingyi was still there. How could he be afraid before the battle?
Come on, add some porridge!
Zhou Ye secretly cheered himself up in his heart.

Zhang Jingyi walked through the corridor and into the audition room. After taking a quick look at the situation inside, she quickly walked to the center of the venue and stood there.

"Hello, Director Lin, and hello to all the audition teachers. I am Zhang Jingyi from the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy. I am auditioning for the role of the heroine Zhu Yun."

Zhang Jingyi stood obediently with her hands behind her back, bowed to Lin Li and others not far ahead, and then spoke.

Every sound she uttered seemed to be moistened with water, with a hint of softness, floating away gently.

As soon as they saw each other, several directors, including Lin Li, started to listen.

"I haven't seen Jingyi for a while. You must have been preparing for today's audition for a long time."

Lin Li looked at her with a gentle smile.

"um, yes."

Finally she was able to talk to Lin Li, and Zhang Jingyi's voice unconsciously became more naive.

"Today is your time to show off."

"can we start?"

"Yeah! No problem!"

Zhang Jingyi nodded and confirmed with Lin Li.

"Okay, let's get started, Jingyi."

Lin Li crossed his hands on the table and stared at Zhang Jingyi without blinking.

Xu Fei and others standing by were all stunned. This was the first time that Lin Li had behaved like this since the audition today.

In the venue, Zhang Jingyi slowly closed her eyes, and after a moment she opened her round, watery eyes.

Clear black and white, bright and affectionate.

"Li Xun, choose me. I will never betray you."

His eyes were firm, his tone was not loud but revealed a sense of stubbornness, and most importantly, that plain little face was full of stubbornness!
Got it!

Lin Li's slightly tense brows slowly relaxed.

At this moment, not to mention experienced directors such as Wei Shujun, Xu Fei and others who had done their homework and read the original novel in advance also subconsciously sat up straight and stared fixedly at Zhang Jingyi on the scene.

Is this Zhu Yun walking out of the book?
The heroine in the book shines into reality?
