Chapter 170 Meeting Liu Ye Again
Plastic surgery is now very popular in the entertainment industry, and it is difficult to find a few natural faces. It is rare that she met one today, and Wang Anna was reluctant to eliminate it easily.
Xu Youyou shook her head. "She has a problem understanding the role, and she's extremely stubborn. There's no way to change her mind easily. If we force her to stay, it will not only embarrass us, but also waste her time."
Wang Anna was persuaded by Xu Youyou and eliminated this contestant.
Six judges eliminated this female contestant at the same time. There was no chance of her remaining. She didn't feel she had done anything wrong at all. Instead, she stamped her feet fiercely and said, "If you didn't choose me, there would be other crews who would have chosen me. This is a loss for your Dream of Red Mansions crew!"
Xu Youyou raised an eyebrow when she heard this confident statement. After everyone left, she quietly asked Xie Ran beside her, "Is this contestant famous?"
Xie Ran flipped through the contestant's resume and casually said, "I've filmed two dramas. Although they were only low-budget web dramas, I debuted as the female lead and have accumulated some fans online."
Xu Youyou nodded: "So you are confident, no wonder you say that."
Xie Ran said with a smile, "Boss, you're just too particular. If you weren't so particular, you could have kept her here. It would have also attracted some attention for us."
A lot of camera positions have been arranged for today's live audition, and we have already discussed cooperation with a video platform. In the future, it will be edited and filmed into a variety show to be broadcast, named "Dream of the Red Chamber".
Xu Youyou understood Xie Ran's meaning, which was to leave the less famous contestants to be eliminated last, or even hint at them in advance about their advancement, so that they would work hard and generate buzz for the variety show.
But Xu Youyou was unwilling to do so. After all, when she chose a role, she had to pursue the ultimate compatibility. No matter how long she kept an unsuitable person hanging on, she would eventually give up. Wouldn't it be harmful to the contestant if she let the person go?
Moreover, in her heart, "Dream of Red Mansions" is a treasure, and she hopes that the popularity the crew has received is pure and clean: "This kind of false popularity comes and goes quickly. The most important thing is to truly produce a good work."
Immediately afterwards, the next contestant came in. Xu Youyou raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect to see an acquaintance here.
willow leaves.
She once accepted Xu Youyou's invitation and signed a contract with the company, but before the TV series was broadcast, she resolutely chose to change jobs, stabbing Xu Youyou in the back.
Xu Youyou glanced down at the information in her hand and raised her eyebrows: "Are you here to audition for Lin Daiyu as well?"
Seeing that she didn't vent her anger on herself, Liu Ye smiled and said, "Miss Xu, I will play Daiyu and Teacher Song will play Baoyu. We can continue the popularity of the previous work and attract more CP fans with this second pairing. This is a good thing for both of us."
Xu Youyou couldn't help laughing. Liu Ye's calculations were pretty good. It was just that the last TV series helped Liu Ye to improve her status. Why did she think that she would continue to be supported this time?
"I think your appearance is not suitable for playing Lin Daiyu. Would you like to try Xiren?" Xu Youyou felt that her suggestion was made sincerely.
Liu Ye used to have a more heroic appearance, which was nothing like Lin Daiyu. Originally, she could have tried Wang Xifeng, but after not seeing her for a while, Xu Youyou felt that her temperament had changed.
She was no longer as bright and lively as before, but looked tired and depressed. A hint of ambition and calculation flashed in her eyes from time to time. Xu Youyou felt that such conditions were more suitable for Xiren.
But when Liu Ye heard this, a look of humiliation flashed across her face. She said, "Miss Xu, with my current fame, even if I can't play heroines like Lin Daiyu or Xue Baochai, I can at least play roles like Wang Xifeng or Sanchun. You're sending me to play a maid. Isn't that too much of a bully?"
Seeing her like this, Xu Youyou knew that she couldn't continue the conversation, so she said, "There's no high or low in roles, only whether they're suitable or not. If you have this in mind, I'm afraid the road ahead will be difficult."
Liu Ye felt like Xu Youyou was cursing her. "Don't worry about my acting career, Miss Xu. I'm only taking on female lead roles now. Miss Xu's words were very nice when she tried to persuade me, but could you really bear to let Song Zhibai play a supporting role?"
Before Xu Youyou could speak, Song Zhibai said, "I never thought I could only play the male lead. This time in the Dream of the Red Chamber crew, the role I play is not Baoyu."
Liu Ye didn't expect such an answer, and immediately responded very quickly: "Even if it's not Baoyu, it will be an important character like Jia Lian."
Song Zhibai looked at her with disappointment in his eyes and said, "The role I'm going to play this time is Liu Xianglian, and I don't have many scenes."
Liu Ye turned around and looked at Xu Youyou in disbelief. "You didn't actually let Song Zhibai play the male lead in the TV series you're going to film, but just a supporting role with a small part? He's a top star, and you're bullying him like this?"
Xu Youyou found this strange. Why did Liu Ye seem to be defending Song Zhibai? She reluctantly explained, "I didn't make this drama to promote anyone."
When Liu Ye heard this, she felt even more strange. She thought, if it wasn't for the purpose of promoting someone, who would be willing to act?
Song Zhibai smiled and looked at Xu Youyou, saying, "The boss wants to concentrate on making a good show, and we are all willing to follow her and be the bricks she needs."
It was difficult for Liu Ye to describe her feelings at the moment. She really wanted to play an important role, and she was indeed standing up for Song Zhibai.
She had been filming in Gansu Province for several months. In the previous play, she played a couple with Song Zhibai, which inevitably made Song Zhibai develop special feelings for her.
This feeling continued as she joined Xu Youyou's company and heard all the messy romantic rumors in the company, such as "Song Zhibai is Xu Youyou's meal". When she saw that Xie Ran arranged for her to play the third female role, she thought it was a warning from Xu Youyou.
Just when someone extended an olive branch to her, she chose to change jobs without hesitation. After leaving, she saw clearly that compared with the current chaotic atmosphere in the company, her lover being coveted by the boss was not a big deal at all.
Although she had a role as the female lead, the assembly line-like production team was simply wasting her hard-earned fame.
To be honest, she felt a little regretful.
But now things have come to this, and she has to turn to fight for the role of Xiren, playing a maid who is dispensable to her. How could she be willing to do that?
Xu Youyou also noticed that there was no light in Liu Ye's eyes now. Although she felt sorry for it, the screening continued.
The third contestant came in. Unlike the first two, she was not from a professional background. She started working in self-media after graduating from high school. Relying on her keen market sense, she has now become an Internet celebrity with tens of millions of fans.
"Dear judges, you should have heard of me. My name is Lin Naer, and my online ID is 'It's Naer, not Nar'. The role I'm auditioning for this time is Lin Daiyu." Lin Naer, who has a long and slender face, said with a wink.
Xu Youyou really couldn't tell how this person looked like Lin Daiyu.
"Tell me about the similarities between you and Lin Daiyu." Xu Youyou said.
Lin Naer said confidently: "What we have in common is that we both have the surname Lin and are both women. As a member of our Lin family, she definitely hopes that I can play the role!"
Xu Youyou: ...
