The matter of Ye Cang suing the marketing account was lively on the Internet for two days, and then it was overshadowed by fresher entertainment news. Except for Shen Huai who has been keeping in touch with the law firm and knowing the progress of the case, other netizens have been attracted by the upcoming Jinying Awards.
The Jinying Award is the highest award for domestic TV dramas, and the competition this year is particularly fierce. On the Best Actress side, each of the six finalists has the strength to win the award, and one of them is Xu Anqi, who has rushed into the first-line flowers this year.
Shen Huai just glanced at the information hastily, and left it alone.
He has been too busy recently, and just after finishing Ye Cang's matter, Chu Meibo's audition began.
Because the assistant has not yet been found, he can only follow Chu Meibo to audition for the time being.
When they arrived at the scene, they found that many people came to audition, but most of them were the second and third women.
As for the role of Kui Ji, there were a lot fewer people coming, but Shen Huai saw a familiar figure in it - Liu Qingqing, a popular actress ten years ago.
Liu Qingqing was sitting on a chair with big sunglasses on her face, and she was in a very unhappy mood.
She has been very smooth since her debut. Back then, when she was the most popular, Xiying got married, but she didn't expect to come back to act now, but she could only play such an unpleasant villain, and she had to fight with so many people.
The assistant handed her coffee: "Sister Qingqing, with your qualifications and acting skills, who can compare with you here, what's there to worry about?"
Liu Qingqing's eyes swept over the other people, and sure enough, many people saw her whispering, and even one or two had a gloomy expression, thinking that she knew that in front of her, she would definitely be out of play.
Liu Qingqing immediately felt relieved.
When it was her turn to audition, Liu Qingqing performed very well. Although she didn't like this role very much, after all, she still had the foundation of acting back then, and she made a surprise attack on the spot before.
After Liu Qingqing finished her performance, she was quite satisfied with her performance, except for Gao Dao who nodded frequently.
After she left, the casting director carefully asked Director Gao, "Director Gao, will the role of Kui Ji be so decided?"
Gao Dao frowned: "She doesn't feel right to me, Kui Ji shouldn't be such a gorgeous and charming woman, she is cruel by nature, the more suffering others are, the happier she will be, even if she smiles softly, her eyes should be It's cold, hard..."
"My high director!" The casting director couldn't help laughing, "Kui Ji is not a heroine, and she is so hated. If you really have the acting skills you said, who would play this? Although Liu Qingqing has acting skills It's almost, but it's not bad compared to other people, besides, if she actually participates in the show, her identity can also be marketed, don't you think?"
Director Gao sighed and said, "Yes."
"We'll have to audition for the second and third females in a while. If we waste too much time here, we will be rushed over there."
Although Director Gao understood that what he said was right, he was always a little unwilling: "Let's see, if there is no better one in a while, let her be."
The casting director knew that although he had a good temper, as long as he made a decision, he would not allow others to disobey. He did not dare to say more, so he had to hurry up and flip through the personnel list: "Next, Chu Meibo."
Hearing the name being called inside, Chu Meibo stood up, pushed the door and walked in.
As soon as she stood in the middle, the casting director frowned, because this actor was really too young. In the original book, Kwai Ji was a demon who did all kinds of evil. Can she act so young
Gao Dao was also looking at Chu Meibo.
The girl in front of her has a small face the size of a slap, a pair of almond-core eyes that seem to be smiling all the time, the ends of the eyes are slightly upturned, and she smiles like a pair of crescent moons. But the lip flesh is full, and it should be happy and angry.
If she looks like this, it would be very suitable to audition for Junior Sister, but she came to try Kui Ji, which is interesting.
The casting director said: "From now on, let's play the part where Kwai Ji's identity was discovered."
In the original book, Kui Ji pretended to be an orphan girl to approach the male protagonist Chang Yu, and after a bad act, she left behind, and Chang Yu saw it through. Chang Yu came to question her. Kui Ji was still pretending to be pitiful at first, but after learning that Chang Yu was completely After distrusting her, the pitiful expression suddenly faded. While laughing at Chang Yu, he told the truth that he had killed Master Chang Yu, forcing Chang Yu to have a heart attack in grief and anger, and was almost killed by her. Fortunately, the heroine arrived in time. Chang Yu was saved.
And at this moment, Chu Meibo is going to play this part.
It is extremely difficult not only to grasp the transformation of expressions, but also to have a large number of lines.
But Chu Meibo didn't seem to realize that, she nodded to the assistant actor, and after confirming the start, the whole person's expression suddenly changed.
She was half kneeling on the ground, her small face was half raised, her brows were slightly frowned, and there seemed to be a layer of mist in her eyes, and she said softly: "That's not me, Brother Yu, I have never done such a thing..."
The assistant said coldly, "You're still arguing, but now that the evidence is solid, I won't believe anything you say!"
Chu Meibo raised her eyes, her eyebrows were still slightly frowned, but the corners of her lips curved up, and the mist in those eyes slowly dissipated, revealing the cruel smile hidden behind them.
"Brother Yu, you really make me sad."
The voice was still the same voice, but it suddenly changed from a weak and weak woman to a smooth and terrifying poisonous snake.
Gao Dao felt that his goosebumps were getting up, and he leaned forward excitedly, trying to see more clearly.
The assistant took up the knife and pointed it at her: "Demon girl! You kill innocent people indiscriminately, I will kill you today, and do justice for the heavens!"
Chu Meibo suddenly laughed. She lightly turned to one side, avoiding the knife that was cut by the other party, and said with a smile: "If you want to kill, you can kill, and you have to give a reason. Your so-called famous and decent is so hypocritical..."
Chang Yu was extremely angry, and rushed towards her with a knife, but Kui Ji's eyes did not have the slightest fear, instead they became brighter and brighter. She provoked Chang Yu sentence by sentence, just like a cat teasing a mouse, but Chang Yu tried all her tricks, but she couldn't even touch the corner of her clothes.
Kui Ji smiled: "Do you only have this ability? I'm really disappointed."
Chang Yu, who was full of hatred, stimulated her strength, and her swordsmanship became more and more fierce, and finally cut Kui Ji. Kui Ji saw blood, but her eyes suddenly turned cold, but it was not because of the injury, but because she was despised. The pawn was injured, which made her very angry.
However, Kui Ji's eyes were cold, and her smile became sweeter and sweeter, she said lightly: "It's too bad, you are as useless as your trash master, you can easily be killed..."
Her voice was malicious. Seeing that Chang Yu was trapped by her inner demon, she raised her sword and was about to stab him.
"Card!"
The casting director stopped, and Chu Meibo was released from the role in an instant.
Gao Dao's eyes lit up, and his goosebumps never came down. The trace of killing intent she showed because of her injury made him feel fear even as a bystander, although her appearance was different from what was described in the original book. Different, but her acting skills make up for it all.
Director Gao determined without hesitation that this was Kwai Ji he wanted.
When he saw Chu Meibo's performance, he had already sketched the shooting of Kwai Ji's major scenes in his mind. He hadn't felt this way for a long time, the fighting spirit that was inspired by encountering good actors.
Thinking of this, he felt a little pity again. Compared with the character of Kui Ji, the characters of the male and female protagonists were rather dull.
Fortunately, Kui Ji is a villain, the more brilliant she performs, the more hatred the audience will have towards her, and the more they will be able to appreciate the feelings of the protagonist. Otherwise, if Chu Meibo is really allowed to play the second and third female lead, I am afraid it will take away all the brilliance of the heroine.
When the casting director saw Director Gao's expression, he knew that he had already settled on the actor.
Sure enough, Director Gao clapped his hands: "Kwai Ji has been found, let the rest of the actors go back."
Chu Meibo raised his eyebrows, not surprised by this result.
—
Chu Meibo walked out of the audition room, and Shen Huai just hung up the phone and looked at her.
Although he has confidence in Chu Meibo's acting skills, there are too many variables in casting, especially Chu Meibo is only a newcomer now, and her opponent is Liu Qingqing.
As an agent, Shen Huai wanted to make sure that Chu Meibo would not lose his role due to off-field factors, but now it seems that Chu Meibo's performance is unexpectedly good, so obviously he doesn't need this insurance.
On the other hand, Liu Qingqing never imagined that such a character that he thought would be guaranteed would be taken away by an unknown newcomer.
The casting director explained to her anxiously that he obviously did not expect this kind of change to happen.
Liu Qingqing looked at Chu Meibo's back with jealousy and hatred, and then left angrily with his assistant.
Chu Meibo didn't care, but Shen Huai glanced at Liu Qingqing more.
Shen Huai retracted his gaze and said to Chu Meibo, "Congratulations on your successful first audition."
Chu Meibo raised his eyebrows: "Is there any reward?"
Shen Huai showed a faint smile: "What do you want?"
"So readily agreed?" Chu Meibo said deliberately, "Aren't you afraid that I will make some unreasonable demands?"
Shen Huai was very determined: "You won't, you are very measured on this point."
Chu Meibo wanted to tease him, but Shen Huai's eyes were so sharp that she lost interest instead.
"Forget it, there's no reward for this kind of trivial thing," she said in a sullen mood.
Shen Huai said, "Not to mention the reward, I really have something to discuss with you."
Chu Meibo: "?"
Shen Huai: "I have transferred your student status from Donghai City to Zhongjing City. In a month, you will report to the new school."
The smile on Chu Meibo's face froze.
"Go to... go to school???"
