499 Jiang Xun Appeared Out Of Nowhere
However, even the two web drama actors, Qiyao and Xiangyou, had been chosen.
If she wasn’t chosen, she would become a joke!
“Little Su, after the audition this morning, the three of us think that Jiang Xun is more suitable for the role of Luo Niannian.” Mingguan said, “Her understanding of Luo Niannian and her acting style are more in line with the character setting that we discussed with the screenwriter while creating the character.”
“Of course, this doesn’t mean that you didn’t act well. It’s just that the two of you have different understandings of the role. The three of us feel that Jiang Xun’s understanding of the role is more suitable for the role, and she has more of Luo Niannian’s energy.”
Youlan couldn’t accept this.
They had clearly agreed from the start that the role would be given to her!
Jiang Xun appeared out of nowhere and they were going to give the role to her?
Youlan suppressed her anger, took a deep breath, and said,”Director, you just need to tell me about the screenwriter and your understanding of the role. I can act according to your understanding.”
Mingguan sighed and said, “Little Su, although you’re young, you’ve started your career very early. You have a lot of film acting experience. You could be considered an experienced filmmaker in this industry. You should know that other people can tell you about their understanding of the role. However, if your own understanding is different from what others tell you, your performance will also be different.”
“Moreover, when an actor has their own understanding of the role, they will be more inclined to their own understanding, which will conflict with what others tell them. On one hand, you have to work hard to tell yourself to act out another understanding, but on the other hand, you will unconsciously act out your own understanding. This will make your own performance full of contradictions and not look like anything.”
“To put it bluntly, it’s definitely different when others chew it and feed it to your mouth than when you digest it yourself,” Qiyao rolled her eyes and said.
Youlan was speechless.
She had just heard “Oh, you weren’t chosen,” and was so shocked that she had forgotten that Qiyao and the others were still there.
“Hehe…” Mingguan laughed dryly. “Qiyao’s words are crude, but they make sense.”
Since there was already an actress who could understand the role completely by herself, why would he choose another actress who did not understand the role well and even specially needed the play to be explained to her?
“But we can’t miss out on such a good actress like you. It’s rare to find young and good actors these days, and our film mainly relies on young actors to act,” Mingguan said. “So, Luo Niannian’s role doesn’t suit you. How about you consider the role of Song Yunzhi? Although she is the daughter of an official, she was influenced by her classmates and secretly rebelled with them.”
“This character is also very impulsive. In front of others, she’s a proud and willful young miss, but in private, she’s secretly involved in a rebellion. More importantly, this role is very suitable for Su Youlan’s style of acting, which allows the audience to understand her emotions at first sight.”
For the role of Yunzhi, it was not appropriate to play it with restraint.
Youlan didn’t speak.
It was the same for “Paht of Life.”
The role she wanted to play had been snatched away by Jiang Xun. Guo Haoulun had given her another role as if he was giving her a consolation prize.
She didn’t expect it to be like this again!
Jiang Xun always came out to stir things up so that she couldn’t play the role she wanted.
This time, she would be laughed at to death if word got out!
This time, it gave her the feeling that this role was just for the sake of her face.
However, if this matter were to spread, how would she still have any face left?
“I’d like to consider it.” Youlan said.
Mingguan didn’t have a problem with it at all, and he wasn’t begging Youlan to act, so he said, “Alright, we’ll be auditioning for the role of Song Yunzhi this afternoon. Give it some thought and give me a reply before 1:30 this afternoon. If you don’t reply, then I’ll take it that you’re not interested in the role of Song Yunzhi.”
Youlan agreed with a stiff expression.
“Director Li, Director Sun, Director Ji, Jiang Jiang, are you free at noon? Let’s go for a meal together. When you guys were auditioning, we already made plans. It’s a rare opportunity for us to meet, so let’s have a meal together,” Qiyao smiled and said. “Let’s all go? We still have to eat lunch anyway!”
“Alright!” Jiang Xun had wanted to find a place to eat and go back to school in the afternoon.
If she returned to school now, the school canteen would be closed by the time she arrived.
Mingguan and the other two thought about it and agreed. They were going to eat anyway.
At the same time, they would discuss about the casting during the meal. Since Qiyao and a few others had joined, he would also discuss their roles with them.
Yiwu and Ji Cheng didn’t have any friendship with Youlan, so they didn’t take the initiative to greet her.
Qiyao was the one who invited them to lunch. If she didn’t greet them, they wouldn’t have greeted her either.
Mingguan thought about it and smiled, “Little Su, you still need to discuss with your manager if you want to take on the role of Song Yunzhi, right? You can discuss this with your manager first. We’ll be leaving now. I’ll be waiting for your good news.”
Youlan was speechless.
She had forgotten about this.
Youlan was still thinking about how to ask to join them when she heard that they were going to have lunch together.
Although Youlan didn’t like these people, she wanted to get some information from the three directors. Who knew that Mingguan would shut her up with one sentence?
Youlan smiled. “Yes, I’ll have to discuss it with my manager and get back to you as soon as possible.”
Youlan separated from them.
Jiang Xun and the others went to the restaurant together.
At 13:00, Mingguan received a call from Youlan’s manager, Sister Ran.
As expected, Youlan still took on the role of Song Yunzhi.
She had discussed it with Sister Ran, and in the end, she was still unwilling to give up this opportunity to show her face.
The casting in the afternoon went smoothly.
Today, they had decided on all the actors for the roles.
Jiang Xun signed the contract with the crew on Friday.
Because it was a tribute film, the actors’ salaries were not high, and they only accepted it as a token.
The production of this film was closely watched by many people, and the funds for every stage had to be used in necessary places.
Besides, it was already rare for artistes to be able to participate in the film, and no one expected to get a high pay in this film.
On the contrary, if one participated in the show at an extremely low price, which was close to zero, they could still promote themselves as a good person.
…
To put it bluntly, most of the actors who came to act were here for a good reputation and a positive image, not for the pay.
As a result, the various artistes signed the contracts very smoothly, and no one raised any objections.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xun received a call from Yicheng on Friday afternoon.
“Jiang Jiang, there’s an emergency. You have to go to the crew tomorrow to take photos and fix your makeup. After that, you’ll have to read the script,” Yicheng said over the phone.
