Chapter 158 The Movie Emperor's White Moonlight Flower 4
Ji Wenzhong was concentrating on driving and didn't notice Shi Qing's mood swings. He said jokingly:
"Aren't you the actress who played the princess in that TV series? I think your name is Li Changyi. I've seen her before."
In fact, his sister had been following "Feng Liu Yi" recently. Every time he passed by the living room, he would hear the little girl cursing the vicious princess with gritted teeth.
Visibly, the light in Shi Qing's eyes dimmed, and the corners of his lips drooped unconsciously, "So that's how it is. I thought you were talking about... other aspects."
Noticing that her tone was a little depressed, Ji Wenzhong's expression relaxed and his words were like the summer breeze:
"You acted quite well, actually. Although this character looks very flat, you gave her a three-dimensional sense. Have you acted in other dramas before?"
As expected, Shi Qing was distracted by him and answered happily: "No. This is my first time acting, but I have been practicing privately."
"Great, it's rare to see such a serious and down-to-earth newcomer."
Ji Wenzhong praised her generously, his tone and expression just right and natural, "According to this trend, I'm afraid that it won't be long before a senior like me can't compare to you."
When Ji Wen heard Zhong Junyi's expression, he showed appreciation at the right moment, and his lazy tone was somewhat serious, which did not make people feel that he was making a sarcastic remark at all.
Actually, Ji Wen Zhong is only one or two years older than her. He calls her senior only because he entered the circle early and became famous at a young age.
Shi Qing suddenly laughed, and the light in her eyes gathered again, clearly reflecting the man's outstanding profile.
The two chatted casually and soon arrived at the audition location.
The audition location was a high-rise building with many people around. To avoid causing unnecessary trouble, Shi Qing got out of the car early and thanked Ji Wen Zhong with starry eyes.
Then she trotted away with her high ponytail swinging. When she reached a place where there was no one, she could no longer contain the joy in her heart and skipped up the stairs.
It was not until other celebrity actors came into view that he pretended to be calm and composed.
Taking the elevator upstairs, Shi Qing held the number he got from the staff, sat on a chair outside, and waited quietly while looking at the analysis draft in his hand.
Shi Qing has a very standard oval face with perfect proportions, especially a pair of big eyes that are bright, clean and pure, and very eye-catching.
Just one look at it can make people feel good about it.
"Your skirt is really nice. It suits you very well." A tall and beautiful woman sitting next to her smiled and looked at her sideways. She took the initiative to extend her hand, "My name is Zhang Man."
Shi Qing was slightly surprised. He lowered his eyes and stared at her hand for several seconds, then raised his eyes to look at her, "My name is Ye Qing."
Zhang Man raised her eyebrows, took back her ignored hand, and continued to smile, "Are you here for an audition as well? Which role are you going to audition for?"
Her tone was gentle, as if she was simply curious and had no ill intentions, but Shi Qing felt a little uncomfortable.
She carefully lifted her buttocks and moved to the side before answering, "Hua Nong Ying."
Hua Nongying is a courtesan in the play, who is skilled in playing the zither. Soon after she came of age, she became famous in the capital for her lingering and sad song "Caisangzi". After that, she became even more popular until the war broke out and the country was in chaos, and no one knew about her beauty's withered bones.
Hua Nongying is only a supporting role in the play. She has some interactions with the male lead, but her roles are not as many as other female characters.
Hearing this, Zhang Man was obviously relieved. Fortunately, he was not her competitor.
Although she has won major awards at a young age, has works, fans and traffic, there is no need to regard a newcomer as a threat.
But as we all know, Director Wang Fan has always been bold and innovative in choosing roles and likes to use newcomers.
In the words of netizens, they only pick on the weak.
As for veteran actors, their acting skills have been honed over the years, so there is seldom anything to worry about; however, sometimes their acting skills become fixed, and coupled with the fact that their previous roles are so deeply rooted in people’s hearts, some audiences can be easily distracted from the show.
Some directors are afraid of those people who are stuck in the middle. They have a certain degree of fame and fans, so they think they are great, are arrogant, and cannot tolerate any grievance.
Accustomed to being flattered by certain media fans, he brought money into the crew and acted like a big shot, changing the play without authorization, and calling it having his own insights and feelings.
But the newcomers are different. They have just debuted and are not very famous. There is a clear and foolish look in their eyes that the experienced ones do not have. They are obedient and never meddlesome. This untainted temperament and strong plasticity of acting skills can often achieve unexpected results.
It's fresh blood again, and if they perform well it's easier for the audience to be impressed.
Just as I was thinking about it, the staff at the door shouted, "Number 23!"
"To!"
Then, Zhang Man watched Shi Qing calmly put away the documents and walked in calmly.
Inside the room, several interviewers, five men and two women, sat behind a row of simple tables, and in the middle was director Wang Fan.
Seeing her come in, a middle-aged man asked her expressionlessly to give a brief self-introduction first, and then read the clip he asked her to perform to the computer in front of him.
"Next, you will act out the scene where Hua Nongying first meets the male lead and her reaction."
After she finished reading, everyone looked up at her.
Shi Qing stood there and thought for a few seconds.
In the script of "Longquan", the hero is the son of a general. His father and brother are both famous generals of Jing State. He has been spoiled since he was a child. His father and brother are the ones who support him. He has an unruly character and usually drinks and has fun with some bad friends. He is a well-known playboy in the capital.
Hua Nongying first met the male protagonist when she made her debut on stage. The supporting actress performed a song "Caisangzi" in public, which attracted the male protagonist's attention.
He was listening intently and accidentally threw the jade pendant on the table onto the platform, hitting the female supporting character's forehead accurately.
Afterwards, the male protagonist went backstage to find the female supporting role, wanting to get his jade pendant back and take a glimpse of her beautiful face.
After recalling the plot, Shi Qing closed his eyes, and opened them again, and his temperament changed instantly.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the woman sitting on the high platform let out a soft cry. Shi Qing raised his hand and touched his protruding forehead, but the slightest touch caused severe pain.
No need to think too much, it must be swollen.
Others threw flowers like peonies to show their enthusiastic support, but some tactless guy actually threw stones.
It was her first time on stage and someone teased her like this. Shi Qing frowned, bit the corner of her lower lip, and felt annoyed.
Her eyes fell on the square piece of jade lying on the ground. She was stunned for a moment, then leaned over, picked up the hard jade with her slender fingers, and put it into her sleeve calmly.
Behind the hazy curtain, she stood up with a smile on her face, her voice soft and moving:
"In front of me, Pan Yue threw fruits all over the carriage, and behind me, Nong Ying threw flowers and presented jade. I am deeply grateful."
After she finished speaking, she placed her hands on her waist, bowed gracefully, and stepped back.
In the room, Shi Qing pretended to sit in front of the dressing table. She peeked at the extra boy in the bronze mirror, took off her earrings calmly, and opened her red lips slightly:
"This young master, have you come to the wrong place? We don't entertain guests here."
The young man in the mirror was holding a flower and bird fan and walked leisurely towards him. "Miss Nongying plays the zither very well, and the music is lingering in the air. I came here because I admire her."
"My lord, you are too kind," Shi Qing put her hands in the air, as if she was resting them on a dressing table, "There are many people listening to my performance, but you are the only one who came to my room. I guess there must be something else going on."
The young man in the mirror clasped his hands together and fanned himself, smiling freely, "The young lady is really smart. This time, I came here, first, to make friends with the young lady, and second, to get something."
The young man's eyes fell on the girl. "I accidentally hit you with the jade pendant just now. I'm really sorry. But I hope you can return it."
Although he was smiling and spoke politely, he inadvertently revealed his arrogance and dominance.
Shi Qing was looking at the mirror the whole time. Hearing this, her eyes moved from the young man in the mirror to the square jade pendant on the right.
"Since it belongs to you, Nong Ying will return it to you."
She took the jadeite, turned around, raised her charming eyes and looked at the person in front of her, "Just can Nong Ying know the young master's name?"
Her skin was as white as cream, her eyelashes were thick and curved, her eyes were long and narrow, and the upturned corners of her eyes were dyed with pink powder. She was half shy and half expectant, and she was full of charm at a glance.
There was a flash of amazement in the boy's eyes, and the way he looked at the flowers and shadows was purely an appreciation of beautiful things.
Taking his jade pendant, he said happily, "Song Zhoudu."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Qing's eyes sparkled like stars.
