Ji Ning woke up on the sofa the next day.
Her self-disciplined biological clock could wake her up even when she was drunk, and she subconsciously turned over and rolled silently onto the carpet.
The girl was stunned after the fall. She rubbed her eyes and opened them in confusion. It took her a few seconds to react before she slowly stood up and, like a sloth, called Nuo Nuo in a panic.
She was about to ask herself why she was on the sofa, but just as she said hello, she suddenly remembered that her memory before the blackout was that she was drinking, and last night... she was filming.
She held the phone tightly, her voice trembling: "What did I do last night?"
"It's hard to explain over the phone. I'll go to your room to find you."
Nuo Nuo explained everything in just five minutes, but Ji Ning wished he hadn't heard it at all.
She actually asked a noble and famous person to bend down on his knees just to take a photo for her, and even dared to say that she would beat him up if the photo was not good enough.
After the show airs, fans will probably flood Weibo with messages to let her know her place.
She really wanted to punch herself now: "Why didn't anyone tell me that I was so bold when I was drunk?"
"Who knows?" Nono said, "I haven't even seen you drink, I thought you were allergic to alcohol."
In fact, it’s not that she is allergic, but that she doesn’t like alcohol, so she refused all the drinks she could at the dinner table, and only took a sip of the drinks she couldn’t refuse. She also didn’t know how to control her temper and was afraid of losing control after drinking.
But when the person who handed her the wine glass turned out to be Ji Shiyan, she couldn't say no. And she didn't know what happened to her brain last night. She drank it all in one gulp while feeling dizzy and hot.
It turned out that she really couldn't drink, not at all.
After sitting on the sofa and sighing for ten minutes, Ji Ning resigned himself to washing up, and prepared himself to be blocked by the entire team and Ji Shiyan for his drunken behavior.
Just after brushing her teeth, Nono told her: "The screenwriter called."
He must want to scold her for ruining the show's plot. Ji Ning took a deep breath and answered the call: "Sister, I promise not to drink anymore."
"Don't drink anymore? Why not? You still have to drink. Drinking is so much fun!"
Ji Ning:
The screenwriter sister was very excited: "You are so awesome! Last night everyone was praising the drunken part, which was very interesting. It was the feeling of Little Ear turning into a real warrior in an instant. The response will definitely be very good. I think the parts that have not been edited are funny. You will definitely be on the hot search when you drink, it's very cute."
Ji Ning: ?
"Shouldn't that be a disruption to the show's script?"
"No, you are the highlight. I was racking my brains to think of how to make your character contrast and highlight, but I didn't expect you to have a sense of variety show," the screenwriter gradually became excited. "This is your destiny to be famous. Come on, sister is rooting for you!"
After hanging up the phone, Ji Ning was still a little confused. She didn't expect the screenwriter would like her to drink... Would she be allowed to drink again in the next show
She pinched her brows and decided to deal with things later. She had an audition for "There Are Stars Here" tomorrow, so she'd better prepare well.
The characters in "There Are Stars Here" are standard for idol dramas, with a flamboyant girl and a taciturn iceberg. It tells the story of two people who missed each other for some reason many years ago and reunited in college. The interaction between the male and female protagonists is very sweet, and the plot is also interesting. There are a large number of loyal fans.
She had two scenes to try out. One was when the female lead signed in for someone else in class during a college reunion. She happened to meet the male lead who was teaching in place of the teacher and specifically asked her to do the questions. The female lead smiled and tilted her head and asked, "If I get it right, can I add you on WeChat?"
The second scene was an activity that the male protagonist had planned for a long time and was in a group with her. The two were placed in a room facing each other and answered each other's questions. The male protagonist asked her "Do you still like me", and she told her the reason why she left him with a little emotion.
It’s not difficult to act, but it does require a certain level of skill to act well.
She carefully thought about the heroine's psychological activities, marked them one by one, and then looked for a suitable performance method to present them. When she had thought it through, she turned on the camera and recorded it for herself. She performed it five or six times before she was satisfied.
It was already eight o'clock in the evening when she finished everything. She took a rose bath, put on a facial mask, and fell asleep in no time.
Get up at five o'clock the next day.
After finishing her costume design at 6:30, when she arrived at the studio, Sun He happened to arrive as well.
In addition to Sun He and Yang Qi, those who auditioned today, I heard that the director also auditioned four young actresses yesterday, and one of them is even very popular.
With so many people competing for one role, you either have to have a good enough background or be outstanding enough to beat the others’ background.
It is obvious that Sun He belongs to the former. When Yang Qi was still reading the script, she was already chatting enthusiastically with the director, bringing coffee and talking about recent developments. If you don't know, you might think that she has already been chosen as the female lead.
In fact, she looked so arrogant that she almost rolled her eyes to the sky, which really gave people the feeling of "I am just a commoner, don't waste your energy".
Ji Ning suddenly found it a little funny. He took the script and waited aside. He also occasionally looked through the video of his performance yesterday to find some details.
The first person to audition was Yang Qi. Her performance was neither good nor bad, with solid idol drama acting skills. She pouted and glared, but was occasionally a little surprising. Her beautiful facial features added a lot to her performance.
The next one is Sun He. Sun He's acting is really hard to describe. It's like watching an artificial AI acting. There are only surface movements and expressions, without any emotion at all. She seems to be independent of all the actors, in another dimension and time, reciting the text silently.
However, Ji Ning could still tell that the female lead had not been decided, because Sun He's performance was very serious this time. She even cried loudly and shed tears in the second crying scene. It was just that she tried too hard and scared the male actor opposite her, so that he performed abnormally.
Sun He must really want this role, she thought.
"Okay, come on, Ji Ning."
In order to fit the character, she deliberately straightened her curly hair and dyed her brown hair black this morning, and matched it with a uniform and a short skirt. Her makeup was also very light to match the school background.
The director was surprised when he saw her. He didn't expect that she would take the audition so seriously.
If such costumes and makeup were considered to be in line with the characters and created a small highlight, then Ji Ning's subsequent performance was what made everyone forget to blink.
She filled the characters with many details to make them fuller, and even prepared a copy of the questions she would solve on stage. After writing a solution, the girl tilted her head lightly, her beautiful eyebrows curved, and asked cheerfully and brightly: "Teaching assistant, if I get this question right, can I add you on WeChat?"
Up to this point her acting was pretty good, but while waiting for an answer, she put her other hand behind her back and rubbed the hem of her clothes awkwardly, with only a quick and forceful movement, accompanied by a slight swallowing movement, and the concern in her eyes was once again covered up by a smile.
They have been separated for several years and she is not sure whether the other party still has feelings for her. She can only make jokes in a relaxed manner, but she can't help feeling nervous.
The director was so immersed in her performance that he only remembered to call cut and move on to the next scene after being reminded.
The next scene is the one where the heroine explains the misunderstanding. In the novel, the two people were assigned to face each other in a room, but the facilities on the scene were relatively simple, with only a board between them. Yang Qi laughed when he was performing just now, and he was able to control himself the second time.
But Ji Ning got into the role quickly. After the other party asked her a faint "Do you still like me?", she felt a soreness in her chest and bit her lip. She couldn't imagine that such a proud person would retreat to this step for her, so she decided to tell everything.
"My neighbor was very kind to me when I was young. He got me a lot of fines. All the kids in our alley treated him as their brother. He especially liked history and said he wanted to study archaeology in the future," the girl took a deep breath, "but he was diagnosed with bone cancer after the high school entrance exam. He couldn't go to high school, let alone study archaeology."
"He issued a critical illness notice the day I took the college entrance exam. I went to see him for the last time when the results were announced," she said, her voice visibly choking. "He said I was great and told me to pursue my dreams."
The girl suddenly raised her eyes, and tears fell from her eyes the moment she opened her lips. She remained sad and calm, and her voice was so gentle that it made people want to hug her: "But he is such a good person, who will help him realize his dream?"
The director pressed his chest and felt a dull pain somewhere.
It’s so good. The character’s emotions are captured so well, and even the tone and emphasis are just right. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a young actress with such good lines.
"I suddenly wanted to study archaeology for him. After filling out the application form, I didn't dare to contact anyone. Because we agreed to study the same major, I was afraid that you would give up your dream like me, so I left suddenly..."
"Later, I wanted to go find you, but I was afraid that you no longer liked me." She lowered her eyelashes. "Is such a coward like me worthy of your love?"
"Okay, Ka--" The director stood up and clapped his hands. "Thank you for your hard work. Go back and wait for the news."
Sun He saw that the director had said so much after her performance, but Ji Ning only said two short sentences. She couldn't wait to run over to take credit: "Director, how was my performance today?"
The director found it difficult to answer and gave an ambiguous answer: "There is progress."
As a result, Sun He became more excited and asked expectantly: "Then, who performed better, me or Ji Ning?"
Ji Ning: …
Perhaps in the eyes of this young lady, whether the play is performed well or not depends entirely on how loud the crying is.
"You've made great progress," the director said pertinently, "but Ji Ning's performance is still better."
Sun He was looking at Ji Ning proudly, but she didn't expect to get a negative answer, and her face turned green in an instant.
"I am so happy," Nuonuo was still laughing in the car, "That face-changing is really amazing, she really has no idea of her acting skills, the director just said a few polite words and she thought she could win the Best Actress Award, right?"
Ji Ning closed his eyes and rested: "But the list hasn't come out yet, so it's hard to say who will be chosen."
There are too many variables and complexities in the acting industry. Even if everyone thinks she acted well, she may not necessarily get the leading role.
///
Three days later, her close friend Sheng Qianye in the circle celebrated his birthday, and she rushed to Y City to attend.
When Ji Ning arrived, there were already many people in the luxury room. Since she had just gotten off the plane, she went to the bathroom to wash her hands and touch up her makeup. After washing her hands, she saw that her phone screen was on. It was Nuonuo who sent her a message: Great news! ! You are the heroine of Xingchen! Sign the contract the day after tomorrow! !
Then the show "First Kiss Diary" is going to be brought forward, so it needs to be promoted in advance. You and Ji Shiyan will probably shoot promotional materials next week.
She smiled, opened the door and replied: ok.
It seems that Sun He can't achieve the obscurity she expected.
As soon as the door opened, a flawless, high-definition handsome face came into view.
Ji Ning didn't expect to meet Ji Shiyan here, and remembered his out-of-control behavior last night. He was so embarrassed that he turned around and prepared to fight back again.
Unexpectedly, he raised his hand to block her way. Ji Ning turned to the left, and the left door frame was also blocked by him.
He used his height advantage to trap her in the bathroom triangle area, and laughed in a low voice with interest, "Why are you running?"
"No... I didn't run away." The root of her tongue itched, and she pressed the marble table behind her helplessly, then lifted her body up and bumped his chin.
…
What the hell is going on.
She subconsciously looked up and saw a band-aid on his chin. She forgot everything else and looked at him woodenly and asked, "Your chin?"
"Well," the man said casually, "you pinched it."
