Chapter 11: Audition

Views:

By the time Tony had finished his makeup, Sandy's hair was almost done, and a girl with calm eyes and pale lips appeared in the mirror. She seemed to be looking a little unwell, but also had a stubborn and unyielding look.

“It feels good.”

Sandy held Jiang Se's head, looked at her in the mirror and said with a smile:

"Your eyes are very touching too."

Jiang Se just thought of 'Feng Nan', and she was pretending to be worried, but there was a hint of worry in her eyes. With this makeup, just as Sandy said, it was just the right feeling.

She came out of the dressing room. The script supervisor had already looked at his watch several times. When he saw her come out, he was a little surprised at the change in her temperament after she changed her clothes and makeup. But soon he didn't have the heart to think so much and urged Jiang Se:

"Hurry up, Director Zhang has been waiting for a while."

More than ten minutes have passed since Jiang Se entered the locker room.

The great director's time was very precious, and the script supervisor was afraid that he would get impatient waiting.

When leading Jiang Se to the director's studio, Zhang Jing'an no longer talked to Liu Ye about Jianghua Group, but instead talked about some aspects of the script.

The two talked about some scenes and dialogues in the play, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

When the stage manager brought Jiang Se over, Zhang Jingan only glanced at Jiang Se and made the decision:

"Let her try."

Before, Zhang Jingan just thought she was pretty, but now that she was dressed up, her temperament was also suitable.

The makeup artist captured her characteristics and made her look stubborn, which was very suitable for the next scene with Gao Rong.

It's just that Jiang Se is not a professional actor, and although Gao Rong is not well-known in the circle, he has acted in many scenes of varying sizes and has solid acting skills, otherwise the crew of "Rescue Operation" would not have found him to play such a negative role.

Zhang Jing'an was a little worried that she would be suppressed by Gao Rong's aura, just like the woman who played a supporting role before, whose acting was always not realistic.

He waved to Jiang Se to come forward and asked the script supervisor to show her the script of the scene that was about to be filmed.

The line was very simple, just the word "Pah" from the woman who had acted opposite Gao Rong earlier.

However, Zhang Jing'an's requirements were obviously not simple, otherwise the previous woman would not have failed to satisfy him after taking photos several times.

Jiang Se closed his eyes, thinking of 'Feng Nan' and his current situation. When he opened his eyes again, he no longer concealed the anger burning in his eyes.

She was not a professional actor and had never acted before, but this did not affect her performance at this time.

Zhang Jing'an saw that she was suppressing her anger. In front of him and Liu Ye, in front of everyone, she didn't show any stage fright at all. She performed very well after just briefly reading the script.

He couldn't help but feel that his previous evaluation of Jiang Se was a little too low. It seemed that she was not unimprovable.

Thinking of Liu Ye's previous suggestion, he was initially worried that Jiang Se's acting skills were not good enough and would ruin the play that he had put so much effort into, so he did not take Liu Ye's words seriously.

But looking at Jiang Se's performance at this time, Zhang Jing'an hesitated in his heart. He was about to speak, but held back before he could say anything.

Anyway, let's first see how she performs with Gao Rong, there's no need to rush.

Everyone stood in their seats again, and many extras looked at Jiang Se with a bit of jealousy.

Lu Baobao and the others had been tied to the pillars for quite some time and were a little dehydrated by the sun. When they heard the clapperboard sound, indicating that the scene was about to start filming again, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Gao Rong, who played the devil, was indeed an old man who had been in this circle for more than ten years. Facing the actor who had been replaced opposite him, he showed no clues on his face. Instead, he waved his hand with a ferocious expression, with a sinister look between his eyebrows:

"If," he said here, his tone slightly paused, which brought a certain psychological pressure to people:

"If Zhou Mingchong doesn't hand over the things, all of you will die!"

When I saw that actress acting opposite Gao Rong before, I didn’t think much of it.

But when it was Jiang Se's turn to act with Gao Rong in person, she felt as if there was really a murderous invader standing in front of her, threatening to take her life.

She stared at Gao Rong intently, with redness in the corners of her eyes.

The camera moved closer along the track, capturing her facial expressions.

She bit her cheeks tightly, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of stubbornness and anger. Before she even spoke, people could already feel her unwillingness to surrender and her contempt for the Japanese devils opposite her.

"Bah!"

When Jiang Se was Feng Nan, he was well-educated and had never spoken such words or used such a tone.

When she spoke her lines, her upper body leaned forward slightly, which influenced her body language and gave people an extremely exciting and oppressive feeling.

The inspiration for doing this came from the time when she was having dinner with the heir of Jianghua Group. It seemed that the prince had a strong sense of control. When talking to her, he would lean forward habitually, which would cause a certain amount of pressure on people for no reason.

By doing this, she obviously pleased Zhang Jingan.

Behind the camera, he watched Jiang Se's performance, smiled and nodded, obviously very satisfied.

Gao Rong wiped his face heavily, stepped back two steps while holding the bayonet, and with the corners of his mouth drooped, he ordered in a gloomy voice:

"Kill them."

As soon as he finished this line, Zhang Jing'an made an OK gesture behind the camera, and it was obvious that this part was passed in one go.

The makeup artist of the crew came forward and touched up the makeup for the tied-up Jiang Se. After the gunsmith checked the gun and prepared the hose and explosives, a gunshot rang out and Jiang Se fell down, slowly falling to the ground.

Her performance in this part was not as good as when she was yelling before, so the director asked her to reshoot it.

The stage manager came forward to explain to her:

"After detonating the device, in addition to showing pain, you have to grasp the posture when you fall down."

He took out the rolled-up script of the scene:

"In this scene, you play the role of a servant who has received great favors from the Zhou family and would rather die than betray Zhou Mingchong."

There was not much time, so he just quickly explained the role, then pointed his index finger at Jiang Se and said:

"Perform well, and do it again."

Jiang Se closed his eyes and nodded.

She put herself into the role of this supporting character who may not even have a name in the script, thinking that she had received favors from Zhou Mingchong, and when Zhou Mingchong was being hunted down by invaders, she intended to force the servants of the Zhou family to reveal Zhou Mingchong's whereabouts at the cost of their lives. The character's inner struggle and the determination of a little woman to fight to the death are no less than those of men.

Jiang Se took a while to find his feeling, then nodded to the stage manager.

When filming resumed, Jiang Se was "shot" and her body shook at first. Then she lowered her head with some effort to look at her chest. A few drops of blood splashed on her chin and cheeks, which looked particularly eye-catching and sad. (To be continued)
