Entertainment: A whirlwind marriage with a fairy-like mother at the start!

"Among young actresses today, there are very few who can handle this kind of complex personality."

Zeng Guoxiang pressed his forehead and complained.

Yu Le pushed the stack of discarded resumes on the table aside.

"What's the rush? Two-legged toads are hard to find, but actresses who want to become famous are everywhere. Let's stop here for today."

Back in his office, Yu Le took out his phone and opened his contacts.

Find a number without a note and press the dial button.

The phone rang three times before being answered.

"Oh, Mr. Yu, what a rare guest."

Wang Zhonglei's warm voice came through the receiver.

"Mr. Wang, you wouldn't come here without a reason."

Yu Le didn't beat around the bush.

"I have a script for a movie with two female leads."

"I'd like to borrow your Zhou Xun for a while."

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone.

"Mr. Yu, this is really bad timing."

Wang Zhonglei's tone revealed a hint of helplessness.

"Director Feng's 'The Banquet' is about to start filming."

Zhou Xun plays the second female lead, Qing Nu.

"My schedule is completely booked; I can't even take a single day off."

"Could you postpone this project?"

Yu Le raised an eyebrow slightly.

Of course he knew about the play "The Banquet".

That period epic where everyone was dressed in black, spoke in Shakespearean theatrical voices, and delivered extremely awkward dialogue.

Feng Xiaogang tried to emulate Zhang Yimou's grand-scale production, but ended up with a hodgepodge.

This whole thing has really dragged Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Xun into a mess.

The key issue is that this film will take several months to shoot, and it'll be filmed until 06. I can't wait that long.

"I can't postpone it, I'm about to start building the team."

Yu Le spoke in a flat tone.

"Since the schedules clash, let's just forget about it and see if we can work together again next time."

Yu Le decisively hung up the phone and threw it back on the table.

A few days later, the audition was held again.

Liu Qianqian was there this time too.

After her final exams, there wasn't much going on at school, so she came over to see what was happening.

The little girl was wearing a loose cotton T-shirt and holding a cup of iced bubble tea.

Sitting next to Yu Le, she was sucking on a straw, her two fair legs swinging back and forth.

The actresses who came before me were all a bit lacking.

The door to the audition room was knocked on again.

The door opened.

Yang Mi walked in.

After finishing filming for "Chinese Paladin 3", she flew back to Beijing and went straight to Xianyu Entertainment.

She was clearly dressed up carefully today.

Or rather, it's a deliberate attempt to dress in a slovenly manner.

A pair of jeans with two large holes in the knees.

He was wearing a loose black T-shirt that had faded slightly from washing.

Her hair was styled in a slightly messy way, in an attempt to create a sense of decadence and rebellion.

Yu Le opened the documents in her hand.

He lifted his eyelids and glanced at her.

"Let's get started once we're ready."

"Let's try the scene where you argue with July in the bathroom."

Yang Mi took a deep breath.

She walked to the center of the field.

I closed my eyes and gathered my emotions for a few seconds.

When he opened his eyes again, a fierce look appeared in his signature fox-like eyes.

She looked at July in the void.

He gripped the seams of his pants tightly with both hands.

The joints were slightly white.

"How noble do you think you are?"

Yang Mi's pronunciation of his lines was extremely clear.

The emotions were very strong, with the chest heaving violently.

Everything you have was given to you by me!

She took a step forward, her eyes quickly reddening, tears welling up in them.

He exuded an extremely aggressive aura.

Zeng Guoxiang watched from the side and nodded slightly.

This young girl's acting skills are indeed outstanding among her peers.

The actor's emotional shifts are quick, and his delivery of lines is solid.

After delivering the last line of dialogue.

Yang Mi quickly composed herself.

He bowed respectfully.

"Mr. Yu, Director, I've finished acting."

She stood up straight, her eyes filled with undisguised anticipation.

The audition room was silent for a few seconds.

Yu Le and Zeng Guoxiang applauded.

However, the role was not decided immediately, and Yang Mi was also told to go and wait for further notice.

To be honest, Yang Mi's performance was barely passable in Yu Le's eyes.

An Sheng is a reckless and unloving wildflower.

She said those harsh words to July because her heart was bleeding.

She was bluffing; she was using a thorny shell to protect herself.

Yang Mi's behavior just now made her seem more like a strong woman scheming against others.

If An Sheng were cast in the role, Yu Le worried that the movie would turn into a palace intrigue drama.

However, if there's really no suitable candidate, we can make do with whoever comes along. At worst, we can just put in more effort and "bring" her back on set.

After a while

The door was pushed open again.

Shu Chang walked in.

Upon seeing her, Zeng Guoxiang immediately frowned.

Shu Chang is so sweet-looking, with a round face and big eyes; she looks like a well-behaved girl no matter how you look at it.

She just finished playing the silly girl in "Magic Phone".

That sweet feeling hadn't completely dissipated.

"Mr. Yu, this..."

Zeng Guoxiang lowered his voice.

"Isn't this image a bit too much?"

Yu Le didn't respond.

He gestured with his chin towards Shu Chang.

"Let's begin."

"The bathroom scene."

Shu Chang did not start immediately.

She walked to the corner, turned her back to everyone, and stood there for a full minute.

The audition room was so quiet it was almost oppressive.

Liu Qianqian didn't even dare to bite the straw, staring wide-eyed at her best friend's back.

One minute later.

Shu Chang turned around.

In that instant, Zeng Guoxiang's pupils contracted sharply.

Her entire aura has changed!

Those once clear and sweet eyes...

The moment was filled with exhaustion, defiance, and a deep sense of brokenness.

She didn't yell or scream; she just tilted her head slightly and curled her lips into a mocking smile.

"How noble do you think you are?"

The line, uttered by her, was light and airy, yet carried a heartbreaking despair.

She took a step forward.

His eyes were fixed on the illusory July in front of him.

Tears fell without warning.

But she ignored it, letting the tears flow into her mouth and down her chin.

Everything you have was given to you by me!

She suddenly raised her voice.

Her voice was hoarse and cracked, and the emotions of despair and jealousy intertwined instantly filled the entire audition room!

She was trembling all over, like a wildcat driven to the brink of despair, baring her not-so-sharp claws.

Liu Qianqian even forgot to drink the milk tea in her hand.

She was completely stunned.

Is this still the silly girl who always tries to steal her snacks?

Zeng Guoxiang suddenly sat up straight.

A layer of goosebumps rose on my back.

That explosive power! That extreme contrast!

As Shu finished singing the last line, her chest heaved violently.

She closed her eyes, took three deep breaths, and slowly pulled herself out of that extreme emotion.

She opened her eyes, hastily wiped away the tears on her face, and then resumed her obedient demeanor.

"Mr. Yu, Director Zeng, I've finished acting."

The audition room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Yu Le put down the thermos, a satisfied smile curving his lips, and then clapped.

Having debuted as a child star and with over a decade of acting experience, this girl usually keeps a low profile, but her acting skills are truly impressive when it matters.

Zeng Guoxiang immediately stood up and applauded, completely retracting his earlier doubts about Shu Chang's image.

A true actor can use their acting skills to transform themselves.

Yu Le turned her head and looked at Liu Qianqian, who was still in a daze.

"Did you see that?"

Yu Le reached out and tapped the table.

"This is your partner."

"It would be quite a show if you couldn't keep up with her acting and her skills were completely outmatched."

Liu Qianqian came to her senses.

Looking at Shu Chang standing in the center of the field, she gritted her teeth, a fierce competitive fire burning in her eyes.

"Hmph, it's not certain who'll rub against whom!"
