Huayu 2007: Starting with Super Boy!

"Thank you so much."

I really have to thank them for this.

After all, helping yourself also involves taking some risks.

Those willing to offer help in times of need are always in the minority.

An hour later.

Wang Yihan walked confidently into Director Jiang's office.

"Hello Director Jiang, I'm Wang Yihan, here to audition for the role of Xie Ruolin," Wang Yihan said confidently.

Jiang Wei first looked him up and down.

I think he has a really good image.

A smile appeared on his face.

He placed the notebook on the table. "Have you familiarized yourself with the script and lines?"

Wang Yihan said confidently, "Director Jiang, please give me the question."

Oh?

A very confident young man.

He liked this confidence.

Moreover, it also fits the personality of the character he auditioned for.

Not bad.

It took such a short time to grasp the basics.

Looking at his profile, he doesn't have formal acting training.

but...

She has quite a talent for performing.

"What's the most important thing to do to play this role well? Tell me." Jiang Wei didn't directly ask him a question to test his acting skills, but wanted to know how deep his understanding of the character was in just one hour.

Wang Yihan straightened her posture and sat up properly, saying:

"Director Jiang, then I'd like to offer some personal opinions. Please correct me if I'm wrong."

Jiang Wei extended her hand and said, "Please."

Wang Yihan recalled her understanding of the character after watching the drama in her previous life, and then said:

"The most distinctive feature of this character is that he is not a traditional villain."

"Oh, that's interesting. Please continue." Jiang Wei became interested in the young man in front of her.

This person is not one of those ignorant and incompetent fools in the industry.

She's got something in her belly.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have said such a thing.

Seeing her insights affirmed, Wang Yihan became even more confident and said loudly:

"He's not a villain, just a pragmatist without faith."

"To put it bluntly, he is neither patriotic, nor anti-communist, nor anti-Chiang Kai-shek; he only believes in business."

"They follow whoever offers them benefits; they have no principles, only interests."

"He's the only one in the show who's truly understood life."

"This character is not a stereotype; he is not simply evil. He has his own philosophy of survival and logic, and he is a small person with a soul."

clap clap clap...

Director Jiang Wei stood up and applauded.

"That's very well said, young man. For someone your age to have this kind of insight is quite remarkable. Many actors who came to audition before focused on his stuttering, which is clearly a misconception. They didn't understand the character at all. The stuttering is just his protective shield."

"Alright, that's enough. This role is perfect for you, and there's no need to test your acting skills anymore," Jiang Wei decided on the spot.

Huang Weichao, standing next to him, winked at Wang Yihan.

Wang Yihan immediately understood what the other person meant and quickly said gratefully:

"Thank you, Director Jiang, for giving me this opportunity."

Jiang Wei waved his hand dismissively: "No need for thanks. You earned this opportunity yourself. I was quite unhappy that Sister Hua wanted to send someone over, but I couldn't refuse her request. But I didn't expect you to be so good!"

The audition went incredibly smoothly, almost like a dream.

I walked out of the director's office.

Wang Yihan was still a little incredulous.

That's it?

It's that simple.

What about all the preparations he made before?

Is it a waste of effort?

Did you really win it over just by talking?

At this moment, Huang Wei, who was walking behind him, patted him on the shoulder and laughed, "Are you a little confused?"

"A little," Wang Yihan nodded without any attempt to hide her feelings.

"Haha... Don't overthink it. Director Jiang really appreciates you. Of course, the casting of this role has also been a headache for him for a long time."

"You wouldn't believe it, but not long ago, the female lead of this show, Yao Dazui, recommended her husband, Ling Xiaoshu, for this role. Guess what?"

Huang Wei winked at him and said.

What happened next?

Yao Dazui is quite loyal.

Nonsence!

Loyal my foot!

A woman who cheats.

"How is it?" Wang Yihan asked cooperatively.

"Hey...they don't even think much of this role," Huang Wei teased.

"They said his stuttering affected his image."

"By the way, you don't have this concern, do you?" Huang Wei asked, looking at him.

After all, this person debuted as a singer through a talent show and later acted in idol dramas.

If you have an image to maintain, you can't play this role.

"I have absolutely no problem," Wang Yihan assured him, patting her chest.

"Okay, come with me to sign the contract."

The producer's office next door.

There are no problems with the contract.

The pay was so low that he could hardly believe it.

He was such an important supporting actor, yet he only received 2 yuan per episode.

Compared to the money earned from commercial performances, it's simply... utterly insignificant.

Huang Wei seemed to see through his thoughts, patted him on the shoulder and said, "That's how the market is now. Mainland actresses are a bit better off; they can play supporting roles to Hong Kong male leads and earn tens or hundreds of thousands per episode. Male actors are in a much worse situation; very few can break the 100,000 mark."

"However, it's much better than in previous years."

"Huh? It was even worse before?" Wang Yihan's surprise was genuine.

After all, he didn't belong to this line of work in his previous life.

The details are truly unclear.

"Yeah, back then, so many of our excellent male actors could only play supporting roles for third- or fourth-tier actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and their salaries were several times lower than theirs."

"You know 'Little Fish and Flower Without Flaws,' right?"

"Yes, I've seen it." Wang Yihan nodded.

"There was an incident on set; the actor who played the White Dragon in Journey to the West was..."

Blah blah blah, the other person has a very strong desire to share.

He told Wang Yihan many insider stories and gossip that she had never heard of before.

After hearing this, Wang Yihan could only sigh: "The seniors have it so tough."

After signing the contract.

Wang Yihan specially treated the other party to a meal.

They've got their hands on both Hua Zi and Mao Zi.

The other person enjoyed the meal very much.

He got drunk and started bragging.

"Brother, this industry is a deep and murky place. If you can't handle it, remember to call me if you run into trouble. I'll help you sort it out!"

"What? You don't believe me? I can summon a whole bunch of classmates and teachers with just one phone call. Don't believe me? I graduated from Beijing Film Academy, and I have classmates and teachers everywhere in my circle."

To succeed in this field, it's essential to attend a school for further education. Having classmates and teachers to support you will make things much easier.

This is truly from the bottom of my heart.

If the other person is not drunk.

Wang Yihan couldn't hear these heartfelt words.

"I believe you, I believe you, even if I don't believe anyone else, I have to believe you, Brother Huang!" Wang Yihan had no choice but to call a taxi and personally take him home.

Fortunately.

My sister-in-law is at home.

After grumbling a few times, he thanked Wang Yihan.

She then helped her husband into the house.

Wang Yihan didn't stay long and took her leave.

on the way home.

He was still thinking about the other person's drunken confession.

I definitely need to find some time to take some further studies.

Not only himself, but his girlfriend Zhang Hanyun also needs it.

Where should I choose?
