This director loves making friends.

Wu Yujuan desperately wanted to be the female lead in "The Scented Soul Woman".

She desperately wanted to prove herself.

As the "Five Golden Flowers" of the Central Academy of Drama, they are often compared together.

The other four, including Gong Li, are not controversial. But for her, the first impression people have is "becoming famous overnight by taking off her clothes".

She was a little annoyed. She had only filmed a scene of her taking a bath, and there were no passionate scenes. Why was she being nitpicked about it?

The more controversial she is, the more she wants to prove herself.

Xie Fei is a teacher at the Beijing Film Academy and a well-known director in China. He has won major international awards, including the Silver Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival in 1990 and the Best Feature Film at the Hundred Flowers Awards.

A film directed by someone like that is sure to be submitted to international competitions.

Moreover, Gong Li, as one of the "Five Golden Flowers," has already won numerous international awards with Zhang Yimou, surpassing the other four in fame.

This is the benefit of working with the right director.

Thinking of Zhang Yimou and Gong Li, Wu Yujuan thought of her boyfriend again.

Back in school, who didn't envy her for having a handsome boyfriend?

Wu Yujuan used to be very satisfied with her boyfriend, but how did he end up using that stuff?

Saying that they tried it to get a feel for the role is just a way to fool outsiders.

Wu Yujuan knew very well that he had become famous and arrogant, which led him to go out and fool around with his bad friends and then get addicted to that stuff.

Jia Hongsheng disappointed her greatly.

Being handsome can't always put food on the table; fame and money are the most practical things.

She must seize this opportunity.

Wu Yujuan's original plan was to audition first, then approach director Huang Jianzhong and ask him to put in a good word for her with director Xie Fei to help her get the role.

The film that won Wu Yujuan the Best Supporting Actress award at the Hundred Flowers Awards, "The Dragon Year Police Officer," was directed by Huang Jianzhong. Wu Yujuan knew a little about Huang Jianzhong.

If you want him to help you get things done, you might have to pay a price.

However, after meeting Qin Keqing, she changed her mind and felt that it was better to get along with Qin Keqing than to go to Huang Jianzhong, who was old and ugly.

As Xie Fei's personal assistant, Qin Keqing appears so refined and scholarly that Wu Yujuan doesn't need to guess to know that Qin Keqing and Xie Fei's relationship must be extraordinary.

Most likely, Qin Keqing is a student or junior whom Xie Fei highly values.

Otherwise, why would Director Xie Fei have made Qin Keqing his assistant?

Wu Yujuan felt she could handle Qin Keqing, a shy young man who had just entered society. With a little hinting, a bit of flirtation, and keeping him hanging on, she could make him lose his bearings.

Qin Keqing was also present when Wu Yujuan auditioned; he helped her rehearse her lines. After the audition, he was the one who escorted Wu Yujuan out of the audition room.

"Ke Qing, how did I do just now?"

The moment the audition room door closed, Wu Yujuan tugged at Qin Keqing's arm and asked in a low voice, unable to wait any longer.

Qin Keqing thought about it and realized that he couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, but he certainly couldn't say that.

"Not bad, but what the director values ​​most is that you fit the character's setting in the movie. Everyone has a different understanding of the character, and I think you match the character's temperament very well."

"Thank you so much, you comforted me."

Wu Yujuan rolled her eyes at Qin Keqing and then lightly slapped him, as if she were flirting with him.

She had originally planned to invite Qin Keqing to dinner that evening, but considering that she had just finished her audition, it wouldn't have a good impact if word got out. Director Xie Fei, after all, was an academic director and valued this matter highly.

In addition, she was afraid that if she gave them too many "sweet treats," they might lose control and end up in bed together after drinking some alcohol, which would be a loss.

For men, what they can't have is what makes them most eager.

Considering all this, she remained silent.

Wu Yujuan felt that her hints today had been enough.

When Qin Keqing returned to the audition room, Xie Fei was discussing the casting of "Huanhuan" with two representatives from Changchun Film Studio and Tianjin Film Studio.

Overall, the three were fairly satisfied with Wu Yujuan. Changchun Film Studio and Tianjin Film Studio wanted to finish the film as soon as possible and finalize the cast to save on expenses.

So they decided to cast Wu Yujuan directly and stop auditioning for other actresses.

Xie Fei didn't make a decision right away. After all, as a director, he wanted to find the most suitable candidate for each role. He wanted He Qing to audition and compare the two.

However, when the representative from Changchun Film Studio asked him just now, he said that Wu Yujuan met the requirements in terms of both temperament and age... He was being a bit too definitive.

Xie Fei is a teacher at the film academy. For more than 20 years since graduation, he has been teaching and educating people. He is somewhat different from other directors. He is not so smooth, and he is proud and can't bring himself to do things.

So he hesitated to ask another person to audition.

So, Xie Fei had no choice but to glance at Qin Keqing.

He didn't consider Qin Keqing a "confidant," but he just thought the man was interesting and pleasing to the eye, so he kept him by his side.

Xie Fei was unsure whether Qin Keqing could understand his meaning. He comforted himself, thinking that if Qin Keqing couldn't "save the day," so be it, Wu Yujuan could play the role instead. She was one of the "Five Golden Flowers" of the Central Academy of Drama, and her acting skills were guaranteed.

Qin Keqing understood Xie Fei's meaning at a glance.

After resigning from the film studio in his previous life, he did alright in the entertainment industry in the south, even though he no longer worked there. He still has that much insight.

"Director, He Qing has already called to inform me about the audition. Should I call and cancel it?"

Did Qin Keqing call He Qing to invite her to the audition?

Of course not.

Xie Fei had only instructed him to call Wu Yujuan to invite her to the audition; he certainly wouldn't have taken it upon himself to call He Qing.

But as the director's assistant, if he says he hit someone, then he hit someone, even if he didn't.

"Nonsense!"

Xie Fei snapped, "We're a professional production team, not some amateur crew. What do you mean by calling to reject someone after you've already invited them for an audition? How can you do things like that? If word gets out, what will become of my reputation?"

Then he turned to the representatives of the two film studios and said, "Let's wait until He Qing finishes her audition and choose one of the two of them."

After hearing Xie Fei's words, Qin Keqing silently apologized to Wu Yujuan. He didn't know who would get the role in the end, but if he hadn't smoothed things over for Xie Fei, Wu Yujuan would most likely have been cast.

This is what happens when you're caught up in the world of martial arts; you're not in control of your own destiny.

However, Qin Keqing didn't feel guilty. He wasn't really as young as he appeared, so of course he could tell that Wu Yujuan was trying to string him along.

He didn't want to be hooked and end up with a taut tongue.

In the film and television industry, who engages in any kind of subtle hints or ambiguous relationships? Isn't that just bullying honest people?

He had been hoping something would happen tonight, but alas, it seems his position as the director's assistant wasn't strong enough to make him stand up for himself.

"Ke Qing, you are my assistant and also the assistant director of 'Woman of Sesame Oil Maker'. Don't just wait for me to tell you what to do all day long. You need to take responsibility... You are still too lazy."

As soon as they came out of the audition room, Xie Fei began to "criticize" Qin Keqing.

"Okay, go and coordinate with the coordinator. Together, you can work on creating a shooting schedule and timetable based on my storyboard. Is that alright?"

"no problem."

Qin Keqing was secretly delighted and quickly expressed his opinion.

As for whether or not?

To be honest, Qin Keqing had done very little of this kind of "high-end" work in a film studio in his previous life, so he had almost forgotten about it.

But if he can't learn it again, who would give him such a platform?

"These points were well spent!"

Creating shooting schedules and plans is the job of assistant directors or assistant directors. In other words, he started to actually work as an assistant director, rather than just being a figurehead.

Qin Keqing knew that he had taken another big step closer to becoming a director.

I just don't know when I'll be able to "stand up" for once. In the year I've been an extra, I haven't had a chance to interact with anyone.

Qin Keqing was really hungry.
