Chapter 37: Play

Views:

Brother Cao, who was called by the security guard, brightened his eyes, but still subconsciously looked at his phone.

"You actually made it here before eleven o'clock." The phone now shows ten fifty. The film and television base is not located in the city center. It was already ten o'clock when Jiang Se called. Originally, the man thought that Jiang Se would not be able to make it no matter what.

"Li Yi had already called me and told me that I would come later."

He stared at Jiang Se intently and waved for her to come closer.

The crew members also have connections with each other. Previously, the production supervisor from the "Fake It Comes True" crew called to recommend a newcomer for an audition.

This kind of thing is not uncommon among crews, it's just a way of showing favor to each other.

But Li Yi praised the newcomer he recommended on the phone in every way, saying that this newcomer named Jiang Se made her debut in Zhang Jing'an's new film, and when she joined the crew of "Fake It Comes True", Gu Jiaer also praised her highly. For the role she played this time, Gu Jiaer made an exception and used her original voice as she was still a newcomer.

At first, he didn't take Li Yi's words to heart, thinking that they were just nice words said by Li Yi to send someone over.

But when he saw Jiang Se this time, he found that Li Yi did not exaggerate about the newcomer's appearance.

"Director Gu happens to be filming at the airport today, which is not far from the film and television base."

The security guard stepped aside to let Jiang Se in. The man called Brother Cao looked her up and down again, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he became:

"Li Yi should have told you the specific situation, right?"

This time the newcomer has really good looks and a very special temperament. I hope he can meet Zhao Rang’s requirements.

"The 99th Love Letter" has been filming for more than a month, and most of the plot has been shot. However, this important shot has not been completed because Zhao Rang has too high requirements for the actors who have to show their backs in the film.

There have been many actresses auditioning recently, but none of them has satisfied Zhao Rang.

As time went by, the crew and investors became a little anxious.

Brother Cao motioned Jiang Se to follow him, while he took out his cell phone to make a call.

His tone was somewhat excited. Apparently, the important back figure role mentioned by Li Yi had not been decided yet, which had made the crew of "The 99th Love Letter" somewhat anxious.

When Brother Cao got anxious, Jiang Se stopped being anxious.

Since there is no candidate for this role yet, she has a chance.

Brother Cao hung up the phone and asked Jiang Se to follow him.

This so-called audition was different from the last audition for "Fake It Real". Brother Cao led Jiang Se into a set up studio.

There were various kinds of pianos placed inside, and many staff members on the set were standing in groups of three or four leaning against the wall.

"You go there."

Brother Cao pointed to the innermost center of the studio, where there was a pure white piano.

The curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows were half-drawn, and the scorching sun outside just happened to shine on the chair that matched the white piano, making it extremely eye-catching in this studio with a rather solemn decoration style.

"Be careful. The piano is borrowed from Shanghai Steinay. Pay attention to your concentration when playing." Brother Cao reminded Jiang Se, "We need to record your back and give it to Director Zhao for review later."

"It doesn't matter if you can't play it, just play a few notes and stop when you are told to stop."

After saying this, Brother Cao took another look at Jiang Se's clothes and frowned.

"This dress..."

It was just the back that needed to be photographed, so there was no need to put on makeup, but the clothes Jiang Se wore were really too simple.

Her hair was tied up with a black hairband, she wore a white shirt on the upper body and a pair of jeans on the lower body. This simple outfit did not do justice to her face that seemed to be particularly favored by God.

"It's too late." Someone on the set picked up his phone and pointed to the door:

"Director Zhao is discussing the script with Brother Xing. We have a scene to shoot at 11:15. After we finish shooting, we can give it to Director Zhao for review. If we need to change the look, it will just take time."

Brother Cao was also somewhat helpless, so he could only sigh and motion Jiang Se to sit over.

The staff member carefully reached out and opened the piano cover. Jiang Se placed his hand on the piano and slowed down his breathing.

She also has two Steinay pianos, one in the Feng family in Hong Kong, and one in the imperial capital. Since her rebirth, she has never touched a piano again.

It's just that she started practicing at the age of six, and even though she hadn't touched the piano for a while, she quickly found the feeling after a simple test.

"Prepare."

Brother Cao shouted, and someone picked up the phone from behind Jiang Se.

This situation was actually very embarrassing. She did not change into her stage costume, and even the makeup she had applied on her face for the "Fake It" crew was not removed cleanly, which made her look somewhat out of place with the elegant piano.

There were strangers behind her, taking pictures of her from behind with their cell phones. Many people around the set were leaning against the wall staring at her, which caused her a certain amount of psychological pressure.

Jiang Se was determined to get this role. She calmed herself down, placed her left hand on the piano first, played a note, and then slid her right hand across the piano.

Her hands seemed to give the piano magic. Beautiful notes danced under her fingertips, and every moment of music passed by extremely quickly.

The staff on the set originally wanted to warn her to be careful so as not to damage the piano, but before they could say anything, Jiang Se had already moved.

In the past, newcomers who came for auditions would appear to be somewhat cautious and restrained when facing this elegant and beautiful piano, but she was not like that.

She auditioned with a natural expression and her movements were not awkward.

Jiang Se chose "Starry Sky". Beautiful and romantic music sounded in the quiet studio, and Brother Cao, who was about to speak, was stunned.

The sunlight just happened to shine on Jiang Se who was sitting in front of the piano. Her hands danced lightly on the piano, playing moving notes.

The girl's back looks a little immature, and her slender and elegant neck can be seen behind her hair tied into a bun.

She had her back to the crowd and was playing the piano with great concentration, and every movement seemed to have been guided by a famous master.

At this moment, Brother Cao seemed to have forgotten that he was still on the set, and the beautiful healing notes flowed slowly through his ears like water.

There was only one thought running through his mind: this should be the back view that Zhao Rang was looking for.

Jiang Se stopped when the music played a chord.

This section requires high wrist strength, and she hasn't practiced it for a long time. Jiang Se herself doesn't have enough wrist strength, so it must be a bit strenuous for her to play the whole piece, so she naturally stopped playing.

What's more, the crew of "The 99th Love Letter" only asked her to play a part and shoot her back to let Director Zhao Rang see if she is suitable, but they didn't ask her to play music. (To be continued)
