Chapter 210 Audition for Female Lead #2
Chapter 210 Audition for Female Lead #2
"Why?" Jiang Qing was taken aback.
"Doesn't it matter what level you are at?" Director Huang has always been harsh on actors, so how could he possibly continue to use Jiang Qing, who has no acting skills at all?
“We signed a contract, and replacing me is a breach of contract,” Jiang Qing shouted.
"I'd rather pay you the penalty for breach of contract than use you again," Director Huang said bluntly.
Jiang Qing staggered for a moment, then hurriedly said anxiously, "Director, I can't stop filming, otherwise all of this will be ruined for me."
As Jiang Qing spoke, she began to plead with the director.
"You can't play the second female lead anymore, so just play any small supporting role."
"This, this won't do!" Jiang Qing refused.
"What's wrong with that? Xinglan played a minor role, but she became very popular, which is why I cast her as the female lead. If you don't want to act, you don't have to."
Director Huang didn't want to get entangled with her any further.
Jiang Qing gripped Director Huang's hand tightly, her face contorted with grief, and said, "Director, I'll act! I'll act!"
Because Jiang Qing's role as the second female lead has been replaced, Director Huang is now working diligently to find a suitable replacement.
As soon as this news came out, actresses flocked to compete for the role of the second female lead.
Director Huang is a very picky person. Actors who lack acting skills are hard to be chosen by him, and many people are eliminated in a day.
As an investor, Chu Xinglan was also invited to audition for the second female lead, but she was not interested in it and did not want more people to know her identity as an investor, so she did not agree. However, seeing that Director Huang's progress was not going smoothly, she couldn't help but be curious to know just how demanding Director Huang was.
When Chu Xinglan arrived at the interview room, the actresses who came to apply all thought she was a competitor and gave her a cold shoulder.
"Don't you understand the concept of first come, first served? We're all in line, and you cut in line as soon as you arrive. Are you all looks and no brains?"
Chu Xinglan originally wanted to go find Director Huang, but was stopped by the actresses who were rehearsing and was severely reprimanded.
Chu Xinglan was stunned.
"I'm not……"
Before she could explain, the others also began to criticize her.
"Exactly! We've been queuing all day, and she just tried to cut in front of us as soon as she arrived. That's too much."
Chu Xinglan was both amused and exasperated. Could they please let her finish what she was saying?
"Everyone, please stop criticizing her. She's new here and doesn't know much about the job."
At that moment, a different voice came from somewhere.
Chu Xinglan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a gentle and beautiful woman standing in front of her. She had delicate features and was very attractive.
Chu Xinglan felt that compared to these people, she suddenly gave people a refreshing feeling.
The woman smiled gently when she saw Chu Xinglan looking at her.
"Don't blame everyone. They've been queuing since morning, some haven't even had lunch."
As expected of a woman with a gentle appearance, she took care of almost everyone's feelings. Those people in line who were originally short-tempered immediately nodded in agreement after hearing what she said.
"How about this, you line up in front of me, there's no one behind me, no one will talk about you."
As the woman spoke, she moved aside a little, trying to let Chu Xinglan pass.
There was indeed no one behind her; she was the last one.
Chu Xinglan smiled and felt that she was a very wonderful person, otherwise how could she have such a magnanimous heart?
"No, thank you." Chu Xinglan smiled. She looked at the long queue and realized that if she went in now, she would only disturb Director Huang's work, so she decided not to go in.
After Chu Xinglan finished speaking, she turned and left.
The woman stared strangely at Chu Xinglan's departing figure.
Several days later, the actress chosen for the role of the daughter was finally confirmed. On the day of the shoot, Chu Xinglan met the exceptionally gentle woman, who was the second female lead selected by Director Huang. Her name was Jasmine.
"So you're the female lead, then we misunderstood you that day. You weren't even auditioning for the second female lead role?"
When Jasmine saw Chu Xinglan, she took the initiative to greet her.
Chu Xinglan smiled slightly: "It's my fault for not explaining things clearly to everyone that day, which led to that misunderstanding."
"It's not entirely your fault. Everyone wants to get this role, so when they see someone prettier than them, they naturally feel hostile."
She really knows how to think of others.
Chu Xinglan said nothing more; the next scene was for the second female lead.
The second female lead is an impoverished mortal who was rescued by the male lead during a food-stealing incident and kept by his side. From then on, she fell deeply in love with him and did many bad things for him. It was also because of her that the female lead and the male lead broke up and got back together several times.
Jasmine is now playing the second female lead who will stop at nothing to solve her basic needs.
Chu Xinglan was very curious. How could such a gentle and considerate woman play a woman who would do anything to survive? And how did she catch the eye of Director Huang?
In fact, Director Huang has a very keen eye; he can always find the shining points of actors.
This Jasmine usually speaks softly and treats people with gentleness and propriety, but she is just as good at playing a scheming and vicious woman.
"How about it? Just like you back then, with unlimited potential."
Director Huang walked up to Chu Xinglan and smiled smugly.
Chu Xinglan recalled her original self, who, relying on her memories of her past life, had portrayed the complexities of human nature in two different ways with unparalleled skill. Now, how did this Jasmine manage to have two faces, one for acting and one for reality?
"Did the director know her before?" Chu Xinglan asked.
"No, not at all. If she knew me, she would have been cast as the second female lead long ago. Why would there be a need for an open audition?"
Director Huang answered her.
However, the director is right. He has a keen eye and he will never let a good actress go to waste.
"Do you know what she's acted in before?" Chu Xinglan asked again.
"She said she had acted in some short online dramas, but nothing much. She came to participate in the audition because she knew I was auditioning for the second female lead."
"What kinds of short dramas has she acted in?" Chu Xinglan asked again.
"I didn't ask that." Director Huang asked curiously, seeing that Chu Xinglan was interested in this.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Chu Xinglan looked at Director Huang, smiled and said, "It's nothing, I was just asking casually."
Chu Xinglan looked at Jasmine, who was still filming, and suddenly became interested in her.
"Xinglan, here's some beverage for you."
Xiao Ze walked up to Chu Xinglan with the additive-free juice.
"Thank you," Chu Xinglan said, accepting the gift.
At that moment, Jasmine, who was on set, seemed to glance at Chu Xinglan unintentionally.
"Click".
"Next scene, the male lead meets the second female lead, all actors get ready to take their positions."
"Then I'm going to film some scenes." Xiao Ze glanced at Chu Xinglan.
"Go ahead," Chu Xinglan smiled.
