"Are you sure?" Gu Ting asked with a frown.
Although Lin Qing asked the Ai Ci to be his assistant and not him, Gu Ting felt responsible for the girl who lost both her parents and could only earn money as a witch. She was also his agent's cousin.
The Ai Ci nodded with certainty.
Entering the entertainment industry was a big deal, so Gu Ting still called the girl's cousin to inform him.
The cousin, Lin Qing, who received the call, thought, "… Master … wants to act??? Can't you focus on your job? "
Lin Qing said, "Give the phone to the boss … Ai Ci." He almost spilled the beans, but fortunately, his tongue turned in time.
The Ai Ci took the phone, and Lin Qing said earnestly, "Master, I spent a lot of money to hire you, so don't neglect your job!"
"Don't worry, acting won't affect my job."
The Ai Ci glanced at Gu Ting, took two steps to the side, and lowered her voice, "Right now we're just waiting for the rabbit to come out. It's too boring. You have to let me do something else to pass the time, right?"
Then she glanced at Gu Ting again, and said in a voice that Gu Ting could hear, "… Cousin, don't worry, even if I have to act, I'll continue to do my job as an assistant."
Lin Qing said, "Then you have to be careful and guard the 'stalk' well. Don't miss the 'rabbit'."
"… Okay, I got it. Bye, cousin."
Gu Ting, who didn't know that he was being treated as a "stalk", took the phone back from the Ai Ci and said, "If you want to be an actress, you don't have to be my assistant."
"Boss, you're firing me?" The Ai Ci's eyes were instantly filled with tears.
She said with tears in her eyes, "Even if I want to act, I don't have any money before I get paid. Also, I don't know if there will be any other opportunities for me after this role. If I don't become your assistant, my life will be too miserable. I won't have food to eat or a place to live … "
Gu Ting's expression remained unchanged, as if he was not touched at all. He commented lightly, "You're tearing up too quickly. There's no emotion brewing in your eyes. It's a bit fake. You still need to improve your acting."
Of course, the tears came quickly. She had gathered a lot of water vapor to form them.
"Oh." The Ai Ci responded in a dull voice and stopped crying. She thought to herself that she would be slower next time.
She looked up again and asked, "Then can I continue to be your assistant?"
Gu Ting met her sparkling eyes, which seemed to be filled with stars. He was stunned for a moment before he looked away and replied, "Yes."
Director Huang saw that there was finally hope for the role of Tang Li to be confirmed. He was in a very good mood and said in a relaxed tone, "Well, you can take a look at this script first. We'll try out a scene during lunch break today."
He handed over a thick book and helped the Ai Ci turn to a certain page. "Try out the scene where Tang Li and Han Jing first meet. Gu Ting will act with you then."
"Is that okay, Gu Ting?" Director Huang turned and asked him.
"Yes."
**
The crew finally officially started today's filming.
Gu Ting's scenes were very full today. He had been filming on the set and did not even have time to sit down for a while. Therefore, he did not have the opportunity to guide the Ai Ci.
Dong Tingting, who went for wool and came home shorn, did not have any scenes for the time being. He sat in his seat in the distance and stared at the Ai Ci unwillingly.
She wanted to see how a newcomer who had never acted before could act even if her image was very suitable for the role.
When the time came, no matter how perfect the role was promoted, she would be scolded as badly as she would be when she appeared!
The Ai Ci calmly flipped through the script as if she did not feel anything.
The name of the drama was "Young People's Parade".
The male lead, Han Jing, had a prototype in history. He and a group of like-minded friends were famous young talents in the Republic of China.
When the country was destroyed, out of a heart full of patriotism and hot-bloodedness, he and his friends joined the army at the age of twenty. However, he died on the battlefield at the age of twenty-six. The drama told the story of this period of time.
Han Jing did not marry in his short life. On one hand, it was because the country was in danger and he did not have the time to care about personal matters. On the other hand, it was because of the white moonlight in his heart.
His white moonlight, Miss Tang Li, did not leave any images of her. Only Han Jing wrote a lot of articles and poems about her, praising her very much. He said that she was "a person who should only exist in heaven." He said that she only cast a glance at him, and it was like flowers blooming in an instant. His heart was beating like a drum, and she was the only one in his eyes and in his heart.
However, Han Jing's article never mentioned Tang Li's name. It was confirmed that the girl was called Tang Li because of Han Jing's sister, Han Yulin.
Han Yulin and Tang Li were close friends. Han Yulin was still alive and was the special consultant of the drama.
Tang Li died of illness at a young age, and she even died before Han Jing. However, Han Jing was unwilling to accept this reality. In his article, he was only willing to write that she had disappeared and "returned to her mansion in heaven."
After reading Han Jing's description, Director Huang felt that everyone was missing something, until he saw the Ai Ci.
He could not describe this subtle feeling, but the moment he saw her, a voice in his mind suddenly told him, "Yes, this is Tang Li."
The Ai Ci flipped through the entire script at a glance.
The story inside was familiar.
Although there were some differences from her memory, she still remembered that this was before her most recent hibernation.
She remembered Han Jing. She also knew Han Yulin and Tang Li.
However, this scene of their first meeting and these daily details in Han Jing's memories seemed to be a story between her and Han Jing.
Was Han Jing's white moonlight really Tang Li?
Why did Han Yulin put her story on Tang Li?
However, the Ai Ci was not in the mood to care about this "impersonation" drama for the time being. After all, she had always treated Han Jing as an ordinary friend. She did not care at all if someone had replaced her white moonlight.
For the Ai Ci, who loved her line of work, it was more important to play this role well.
However, since this "Tang Li" was actually herself, she was more confident in acting.
However, after reading this script, the Ai Ci suddenly remembered another thing.
Tang Li was an orphan. The Ai Ci raised her for a period of time.
During that war-torn era, there were too many orphans.
She was able to pick up Tang Li because of her strange luck. That luck seemed to have some influence on the Ai Ci, so she wanted to study it carefully.
After nearly a hundred years, another Gu Ting appeared.
Although Gu Ting's luck and Tang Li's luck were different, they seemed to have the same effect. Moreover, Gu Ting's luck gave her a much stronger feeling than Tang Li's.
Was there some kind of relationship between these two people?
The Ai Ci held the script and fixed her gaze on the empty space. Her eyes were deep.
When she returned to the old house to sleep, Tang Li was still fine. With her luck, she should not have died so early.
Something must have happened after she left that year, right?
It seemed that if there was a chance, she would have to find Han Yulin again.
**
At noon.
Several assistant directors and Director Huang moved long benches and sat together on the side. There were other people who surrounded them out of curiosity. They were wrapped in military coats, squatting or sitting. Each of them held a box of food and looked at them with burning eyes.
The Ai Ci looked around. Why did it feel like they were going to perform an opera at the entrance of a village?
This kind of atmosphere was a great test for someone who had never acted before.
However, the Ai Ci did not seem to be afraid at all. She stood in the middle of the stage calmly.
The scene she was going to audition was very simple. She did not even have any lines.
The Ai Ci was still preparing when someone suddenly shouted on the side of the stage, "It's raining?"
"What a coincidence. It's supposed to rain for this scene." Director Huang rubbed his hands and looked forward to it.
The Ai Ci smiled. Unfortunately, it was just rained by her.
Dong Tingting's expression was not very good. It was very difficult for a newcomer to act out the feeling of rain when it was not raining. Who knew that God would give this woman so much face?
Director Huang shouted on the side of the stage, "Okay, you can start now."
The audition officially began.
Han Jing stood under the eaves of the pawnshop's entrance with his hands folded. He was tall and slender, and his gaze was distant. He had just joined the army, so he still had a gentle and scholarly aura.
He looked down from above, and his gaze fell on an oil paper umbrella in the misty rain. The umbrella was held in the misty water mist, and a cluster of fresh and elegant gardenia flowers was drawn on the top of the umbrella. It leisurely walked out from the corner.
Under the umbrella, a green skirt was faintly discernible. A pair of delicate embroidered shoes wrapped around the tips of her small feet. Her steps were light and graceful, and she was like a nimble crane. She walked lightly to the bottom of the stairs, revealing a white hand as she lifted the skirt and walked up the stairs.
When she reached the bottom of the eaves, the girl closed the umbrella and raised her head. A flawless face crashed into his vision. Her eyebrows were like the green of the distant mountains, and her cherry lips were tender and tender.
Her gaze unexpectedly met his, and she smiled faintly. In this hazy mist, it was like a sudden burst of fireworks, stealing the attention of the whole world.
At that moment, Gu Ting did not know whether he was Han Jing or Gu Ting. Was he acting or was he sincere? He was shocked by the ripples in her eyes, and he was slightly absent-minded.
He seemed to understand what it meant to look at for ten thousand years.
It was not until Director Huang excitedly patted his side a few times that he woke up from his thoughts. "Good! Very good! You have great potential, Xiao Ci! "
The assistant director's face was a little distorted from the pain. He held his shoulder and complained in his heart, Xiao Ci, why did you pat me?
