Huayu: I'm being coveted by young actresses.

Chapter 48: Audition for "Better Days"

"Actually, what I said just now was not what I truly believed. You are prettier than her."

"Really." Zhou Ye's eyes immediately became clear and bright, as if she could see the light.

Zhou Ye and Zhang Jingyi are not the same style, so they cannot be compared.

Among the actresses born in 95, they are all beauties with distinctive looks.

"It really is, more real than diamonds."

"Waaah, Brother Gu, I knew you were just teasing me. I almost cried."

Gu Luojin gently ruffled her hair: "Okay, don't cry, don't cry, smile."

Zhou Ye, who finally got a satisfactory answer, had a smile on her face again and returned to being a happy little dog.

Although their companies intentionally or unintentionally try to market them together to help them quickly gain fame, Zhou Ye, as an artist, has absolutely no desire to be associated with Zhang Jingyi.

She is who she is, a unique spark.

Zhou Ye's smile reminded Gu Luojin of the bullying second female lead she played in the drama, who pushed Chen Nian, played by Little Yellow Duck, down the stairs.

Then, he looked at Chen Nian with a blank, indifferent gaze, a scene that terrified many viewers.

It can be compared to Zhang Zifeng's smile in the last scene of "Detective Chinatown 1", which has become Zhou Ye's representative role.

He wasn't scared, but he thought the girl was very bold, daring to confront the Sixth Princess and openly displaying her impatience.

"Brother Gu, I wish we could both get into the same film crew."

Being in the same production crew as someone you know reduces social costs, allows you to stick together, support each other, and avoid being bullied by outsiders—there are many advantages.

However, the development of things often does not depend on human will.

Twenty minutes later, the door to the audition room opened from the inside, and Yi Yangqianxi came out, but Zhang Jianing did not, presumably because the audition was conducted through an impromptu performance.

After Yi Yangqianxi came out, he glanced coldly at Gu Luojin, who was playing and joking with a beautiful woman. He curled his lips slightly, smiled contemptuously, and strode out.

This suddenly made Gu Luojin lose confidence and feel completely confused.

"Brother Gu, this young man with the four-character name is looking at you strangely."

If Yi Yangqianxi spoke to him in a friendly manner, Gu Luojin would feel that something was definitely amiss.

This was his enemy. Although they hadn't reached the point of being irreconcilable enemies, they were still extremely hostile towards each other.

"I spent a week criticizing him a while ago."

"Oh, you did it? The fight was so intense, it even made it onto several trending topics."

"You could say I did it, or you could say it wasn't me. The main force behind the attacks on him wasn't me, but his two teammates."

If anyone else treats him well, it proves he has masochistic tendencies and is more suited to developing his career in Chengdu.

After hearing Gu Luojin's explanation, Zhou Ye realized how mild her competition with Zhang Jingyi had been.

When she and Zhang Jingyi were rumored to be competing for the same role, at most they disliked each other and didn't speak to each other, but it didn't go so far as to launch an online smear campaign against each other.

Gu Luojin didn't want to either, but what could she do when the other party was the future Crown Prince of Ali?

You have to create trouble for him and suppress him during his early development.

Otherwise, once Yi Yangqianxi establishes himself in the film industry, his development in film will be hindered step by step.

Like Hugo's fate, or even worse.

After all, times have changed, and good resources are becoming increasingly scarce.

Wang Lu walked over: "Brother Gu, his interview was very short, only 20 minutes have passed."

"understood."

The timing of an interview can reveal a lot about the candidate's performance and the outcome.

The more satisfied the interviewer is with you, the more they will talk to you and the longer the interview will last. If the interview is over in just a few words or a few minutes, it will be much less likely to end.

There's no need to go back and wait for the interview results from this company; 99% of the time, you won't be hired. Just go directly to the next company for an interview.

Job interview tips.

Gu Luojin immediately felt confident. The short 20-minute audition time proved that the director was not very satisfied with the young actor's performance, and that he was given a great opportunity.

……

"He's already auditioned three times, but his performance still falls short of what I envisioned for the male lead, Xiao Bei."

Next, I'll check out Gu Luojin, recommended by Lemon TV. If that doesn't work, I'll choose Yi Yang Qianxi.

Xu Zhi said, "Director Zeng, your thoughts coincide with mine, but Yi Yang Qianxi took the initiative to audition three times, which proves that his attitude is very correct, which will reduce a lot of communication troubles during filming."

"That's enough for now. Call in the next male lead."

Gu Luojin was led into the interview room by the staff, and as he had guessed, all the main characters were present.

The staff handed his resume to the director and several assistant directors.

"Please introduce yourself first."

"Hello, directors. My name is Gu Luojin, and I come from the Second Spring City."

"I am a new actor, and I have appeared in four or five TV series and movies."

"My most recent film, 'The Big Shot,' just finished filming last month, and my solo single, 'The Wind Rises,' has sold 570 million yuan worth of music."

"My strengths are a positive attitude and obedience to the director's arrangements. In order to play the role of Xiao Bei, I wrote a 5000-word character biography to help me thoroughly understand the character in the script."

"Director Xu, this Gu Luojin is much better looking than Yi Yangqianxi."

"Moreover, he has delicate features and is very handsome. I really want to see if there will be a surprising contrast when he is made up to look like Xiao Bei in the drama."

"Yes, Director Zeng is right."

Zeng Guoxiang nodded with satisfaction after listening to Gu Luojin's self-introduction.

Putting aside their physical appearances, based solely on their recent achievements, Gu Luojin is more suitable than Yi Yangqianxi to play the male lead.

"Xiao Gu, let me say this upfront. I have high hopes for this drama, especially regarding the choice of the male lead."

"Although you mailed us footage from your previous film before the audition, and I watched it, I also thought you acted quite well."

"But for the sake of the production team, for the sake of this film."

"I still hope that during the audition, you can bring your best performance and the acting skills you showed in your last film so that I can choose you."

"Thank you for the reminder, Director Zeng."

The staff handed over an A4 sheet of paper with the three scenes from this audition.

"There are three parts in total. The first part is when Liu Beishan warns Wei Lai, the second part is when Liu Beishan takes the blame for the female lead, and the last part is when the male and female leads identify each other at the police station."

Do you need two minutes to prepare?

"No need, I can come now." He was already familiar with the plot.

Gu Luojin quickly crumpled the toilet paper into several small balls to replace the cigarette ash from the first scene.

Tsang Kuo-hsiang: "Chang Chia-ning, get ready."

"Okay, director."

"3.2.1 First round, Action."

"Feed".

Upon hearing the sound, Zhang Jianing turned her head, only to have a small ball, which Gu Luojin had rubbed with his thumb, flicked under her eyelids. Stimulated, Zhang Jianing closed her eyes.

Gu Luojin rushed forward, pinned her against the wall, and slammed his fist against it, making a loud noise.

He said in a sinister and vicious tone, "Don't touch Chen Nian."

After saying that, he released her.

"Director Xu really studied the script. He even used a small ball of toilet paper instead of cigarette ash on set, and the effect was not bad."

"His eye acting is also very good, and the deepness of his voice gives him a strong sense of threat. So far, I am very satisfied with his acting skills."

"Zhang Jianing couldn't keep up with his acting. After being hit by the paper ball, she didn't show any fear on her face. Let's find another actress to act with him."

"Yes, from what I've seen so far, she seems to be a very talented actress."

So Zhang Jianing was asked to leave and Xue Kaiqi was brought in, who performed even worse than Zhang Jianing.

Few singers succeed as actors due to a lack of acting experience.

Finally, Zhang Jingyi and Zhou Ye were called into the room together for an audition.

As soon as the two women entered, they arrived just in time for Gu Luojin's second audition with Golden Horse Award-winning actress Little Yellow Duck.

"3.2.1 The second round, Action."
