Jiang Se paused, naturally remembering that this was a line from "Beijing Events", which was said by the person who picked her up when "Doukou" first appeared in the direction of Liyuan on Tianqiao Street.
Lin Xiwen didn't shout "start", didn't even give her time to prepare, and didn't even allow her to take another look at the lines.
If she was not familiar with the script, or had not watched "Peking Events" several times and relived this scene over and over again, Jiang Se would probably be embarrassed facing this situation.
But she was only stunned for a moment and quickly reacted.
She had read the script many times, and had read it again before going to sleep last night. She had memorized every scene in it.
At this moment, it would not be difficult for her to just recite the lines, but the difficult part was to perform the role of Doukou in front of Lin Xiwen.
There was no time for her to get into the role. It seemed as if the test had already begun from the moment she put on makeup and changed into the cheongsam.
Jiang Se remembered Doukou's identity and background in the script. At this time, she had been rescued by An Jiuyu and was following this notorious warlord in the Peking area.
Everyone knew who she was, and everyone looked at her with a frivolous look.
She should have had some inner drama during this period, because in a way, going to Tianqiao Street on the 7th of every month was a way to remember her family and pretend that she was still the lady who had not lost her family.
Unfortunately, there would always be someone reminding her, calling her by her current identity, calling her by her "nickname", reminding her of her pain and preventing her from escaping for even a moment.
So Doukou should be a little embarrassed and a little depressed at this time, with a hint of forced calmness.
Jiang Se lacked acting experience, but she figured out her own understanding of Doukou in the play, so she naturally lowered her head, and her hands that were holding her shawl shook unconsciously.
Lin Xiwen's test came suddenly, but fortunately, although Jiang Se did not expect the audition to be so soon, he was already prepared.
She forced herself to remain calm, her fingertips trembling slightly, and her lips tightly pursed.
For her, who is not a professional actor, although her inner drama cannot be fully displayed on her face, and she cannot control her eyebrows and facial expressions to show her inner struggle, she can express it through certain body language.
"Are the people who are on stage today from 'Guangde Building'?" She imagined herself as Doukou in the script, who was a little embarrassed but trying hard to control herself, and spoke the lines very smoothly.
In fact, Doukou is someone close to An Jiuyu, who is very powerful in the Peking area.
When Doukou came on the seventh of every month, everyone in Tianqiao Street knew that she came to watch the play "Beating Yan Song" performed in "Guangde Building", so how could they dare to secretly change the performers on that day
So every time she came here, she played the same old song, but Doukou always asked this question every time she came.
Hou Xiling wrote this part very well in the script. Doukou always asked this question, showing her extreme insecurity. Even though she is now dressed in gorgeous clothes and accompanied by servants, in her heart, she is still like duckweed.
The play she watched was always on the seventh of every month, and it was always the people in Guangde Building who sang "Beating Yan Song". In a way, she also hoped that time would go back and stop on the seventh day, longing to return to her original state of mind.
Hou Xiling's writing style is sophisticated. He did not directly write about Doukou's nostalgia for the time when her parents were still alive and loved, but he achieved this point through indirect descriptions, which makes people sigh even more.
Jiang Se's voice was a little low and her tone was a little vague. When she asked this question, she did not look at the staff member's face.
Her voice is sweet, soft and gentle, and very pleasant to the ears.
But you could see that she was a little flustered, as if the moment she was called "Miss Cardamom", she had an instinctive urge to hide.
Lin Xiwen's sudden audition made her situation similar to that of "Doukou" in the play in some ways.
When seeing Jiang Se's performance, although Lin Xiwen was not very satisfied, he did not find fault or stop it.
The actors' acting skills can be improved if they are later trained and corrected.
For now, her performance was just OK. The most important thing was that when facing Lin Xiwen's test, she handled the panic very well and did not lose her composure.
"Yes, please come this way, the seats are reserved by you as usual."
When the staff heard Jiang Se say her lines, they personally led Jiang Se to the audition chair in the middle as originally planned.
As she walked, she seemed to have regained her composure and raised her head.
The high heels stepped lightly on the ground, making a crisp sound. She raised her head and opened her eyes, revealing a pair of misty eyes.
She walked slowly and leisurely to the chair, and gently pulled the hem of her cheongsam before sitting down.
Hou Xiling noticed that her sitting posture was very standard, and she must have received strict etiquette training.
The Doukou he wrote about came from a scholarly family and was a well-educated girl. Jiang Se didn't need to act this out, as her actions and temperament were enough to make it clear.
In the audition room, the person sitting opposite Jiang Se was naturally not the theater in the movie, but a strict examiner.
She ignored the critical expressions of Lin Xiwen and the others and thought about her current situation. Since her rebirth, everyone around her was a stranger.
Pei Yi, whom he once knew so well at the St. Regis Hotel, he couldn't recognize her when he saw her again.
There was a hint of sadness between her brows, and that melancholy could be seen in her eyes.
This thought of recalling the past easily helped her get into the role.
She felt very sad when she thought that she had just seen an old friend. However, Doukou in the play met her fiancé when she was suffering, but Xiao Zi did not recognize her at that time.
Look at her as if she were a stranger.
Jiang Se was not very calm when she met Pei Yi twice, but she was introverted at that time and could not vent her emotions no matter what.
But it was different this time. She didn't need to endure in the play. She put herself into the character Doukou's mood and her eyes immediately became red.
Lin Xiwen and Hou Xiling sat about two meters away from her, taking her expressions and movements in full view. Only then did Hou Xiling feel refreshed. Jiang Se revealed some of the unhappy "young girl" feeling in the play.
Her eyes were red and misty, her brows were slightly furrowed, and she leaned back in the chair. She folded her hands on her abdomen and tapped lightly with her fingertips.
The noise around her seemed to have little to do with her. She was like an outsider, unable to fit in, yet stubbornly refusing to leave.
She squinted her eyes slightly, a look of intoxication appeared on her face, and she shook her head gently, as if she was moving with the noisy rhythm of the drama on the stage, and tears suddenly flowed down her face. (To be continued)
