Chapter 102: Someone Came to Audition for the Role of Concubine Yan
The atmosphere was a little tense. The Deputy Director, Mr Yang quietly went out.
The director knocked on the the book of script on his hand and circled around Song Qinghuan a couple of times. Song Qinghuan still stood there in a neither humble nor pushy way, allowing herself to be observed.
In the end, he laughed, “You are talented, but you still have weak spots.”
Qiu Meng became nervous immediately.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
The director beckoned a girl over with a wave, “Xiaoli, please lead her to the makeup room.”
The girl named Xiaoli immediately ran over, “Which character?”
“Concubine Yan.” Director You said.
Xiaoli’s eyes were shining as she looked at Song Qinghuan. Then she excitedly said, “Ok.”
“Miss Song.” Xiaoli took a glance at Song Qinghuan’s data and said, “Please follow me.”
“Thank you.” Song Qinghuan nodded.
Xiaoli grinned, “You are welcome.”
At the same time, after learning that a new actor came to audition for the role of Concubine Yan, the makeup room in the backstage was boiling. A group of people believed that she should be a female star in the entertainment circle. They even named several stars whom they considered to be suitable candidates for Concubine Yan.
A visual affect artist stopped his work and asked with surprise, “Directly put on make-up? Are they going to do a dry run? ”
“Right. It is said that she is about to arrive.”
Someone was shocked, “Although this role did not appear frequently in Xian NiⅠ, it was portrayed by the best actress Jing Yu.”
“As the role played by Jing Yu was recognized by a large number of people, whoever portrays it will be criticized, right?”
The chief stylist of the team had already received the exact news that the Song Qinghuan was coming. She clapped her hands to attract everyone’s attention and said, “A newcomer is coming soon. Ai, please take out Concubine Yan’s costume.”
“Yes, Ms Yu.”
Seeing the chief stylist of the team come over, a group of people gossiped, “Ms Yu, doesn’t Jing Yu play the role?”
“Is the one who came to audition today recommended by the investor?”
Yu Le was smiling. She was renowned for her remarkable makeup skill in the circle, so she was dubbed as the “Facelift Master”. She had returned home with her design and makeup team for two years. She enjoyed a great status in the film and TV sphere in the country currently. After she glanced around the room, the gossipy people became quiet immediately.
She said, “Everyone, begin to work.”
They immediately laughed, “Yes, Boss.”
Everyone was busy in the room. Xiaoli led Song Qinghuan through the inner corridor and came to a halt in front of the makeup room. Xiaoli knocked on the door. Only then did Song Qinghuan notice that the whole floor used as the audition hall had been renovated by the hotel to meet the needs of the crew.
The door was opened from inside. The room was very warm. Yu Le was standing in the doorway, wearing a long black shirt, a pair of jeans which covered her slender legs, and a pair of boots. There was a smile on her beautiful face.
Xiao Li smiled and introduced, “Ms Yu, this is Song Qinghuan. She auditions for the role of Concubine Yan. Thank you.”
Yu Le nodded and extended her hand towards Song Qinghuan, “Hi, my name is Yu Le, the makeup artist in the crew. just call me Ms Yu.”
“Hello Ms Yu. I’m Song Qinghuan. Sorry for the trouble today.”
Yu Le turned to let her enter. At that moment, everyone in the room came to a halt, staring at Song Qinghuan. She roared with her hands on her hips, “Come on, everyone! Change her clothes. Stylists, prepare to work!”
Someone shouted, “Ms Yu, Xiao Mi and I will help her wear makeup, right?”
Yu Le looked at Song Qinghuan who had been taken to change, and shook her finger, “No, I do it.”
‘Yu Le will do it in person. She must have come from a privileged family.’
All the gossipy people felt they knew the truth.
Squinting her eyes, Song Qinghuan was standing in the dressing room. Two female assistants were helping her to change into a bright red costume. She felt that she was destined to have a connection with red things.
Song Qinghuan rolled her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror. It was the worst for an actor/actress to be stereotyped by others. Fortunately, the role she played had two sides. One was good and the other was evil, which was challenging.
The news that a newcomer had auditioned for Concubine Yan and the director allowed her to do a dry run was getting around. All the members of the crew in the base had known it within ten minutes.
The crew of Xian Ni Ⅱ started shooting a month ago. The whole team was on lockdown, and reporters were not permitted to interview. They were shooting the film quietly.
This game was too popular. Anyone who had ever played the game or had watched the movie would know that although the role of Concubine Yan was a villain, it was very eye-catching. If the actress played well, she would get a large number of fans. However, if she didn’t, she would come under fire from game fans and movie fans.
There were both its pros and cons.
It was well-known that Concubine Yan was a beauty with both good and evil sides. She was a pitiable and weak girl in Xian Ni Ⅰ. However, she became very forceful after she became devil in Xian Ni Ⅱ. Unfortunately, not all those who had a reversal in their life counter-attacking were the winners of life. She was imprisoned in the Devil Suppressing Tower.
All the actors and actresses knew that it was not a simple character and only highlighted the spirit of the movie. Therefore, everyone thought it would be portrayed by Jing Yu. They never expected that another girl replaced her.
Some people who were jealous of Jing Yu were pleased to see it.
When Jing Yu went off the stage, she found that her assistant want to say something. She took a sip of tea from her cup and asked, “What’s the matter?”
The assistant looked around and whispered, “Sister Jing, I heard that someone has auditioned for the role of Concubine Yan.”
“Oh?” Jing Yu put back the lid of the cup, and the assistant immediately handed a heating pad. She leaned against the back of the comfortable chair with a smile on her face.
“Is it your role, isn’t it?” The assistant felt a little displeased, and even more displeased that the one who came to audition was a girl who was similar to Jing Yu. She was very angry with the girl.
“Who said that?” Jing Yu raised her eyelids. Wherever her gaze reached, others’ eyes dodged. All of them didn’t even have the courage to look at her. She smiled, “They even didn’t sign with me.”
The assistant was stunned and then asked, “You already know someone is coming? Then you must know whom she is? ”
“Oh? Who? “Jing Yu asked.
The assistant blurted out, “Song Qinghuan!”
Although the contestants in the hall who came for an audition today didn’t become very popular, they were all good at acting.
As everyone knew, poor actors or actresses were not permitted to play the film directed by Mr You.
However, the scene was noisy at this moment. All the people didn’t leave, no matter whether they were preparing for auditions or they had finished, because all of them heard a piece of news.
Someone had auditioned for the role of Concubine Yan today.
