"If you don't love me anymore, then please let me leave quietly."
"That's my only wish."
"I … …"
On the stage of the small auditorium, a young man and a woman were acting out a love story. Helplessness, bitterness, pain, and sadness were changing on their faces, which touched the audience's heartstrings.
Although the performance of the two was still quite jerky, their lines were too dramatic, and their body movements were slightly stiff, but as freshmen of Beijing Film Academy, their performance was undoubtedly remarkable.
Lu Chen was fascinated, and countless memories emerged in his mind.
These memories came from Mo Ran.
In Lu Chen's memory, Mo Ran also had such a youth, but on the stage, Mo Ran always played a supporting role, and then silently watched the girl who had a crush on him and the most handsome boy in the class pretend to be real.
He didn't feel jealous, resentful, and didn't take the initiative to pursue anything. He buried his feelings deep in his heart.
Among the three protagonists in Lu Chen's dream world, Mo Ran's sense of existence was the lowest.
Compared with Xu Bo and Fang Mingyi, his life was not as wonderful and rich. Most of the time, he was always immersed in loneliness, reading books alone, surfing the Internet alone, acting alone.
He never became a real protagonist, whether it was in movies, TV, or life.
However, what Mo Ran left for Lu Chen was more than what Xu Bo and Fang Mingyi had combined.
Lu Chen sometimes thought that if he had to choose a teacher among the three, he would definitely choose Mo Ran.
"This girl is called Fan Ying, and the boy is called Lu Haoyu. They are both outstanding students in the 14th grade performance department … …"
Teacher Zhang, who was sitting next to him, thought that Lu Chen had taken a fancy to the two students, so he specially introduced them.
This teacher surnamed Zhang was a very tactful person. Perhaps this was the reason why the college sent him to receive visitors. He obviously saw who the real decision maker was.
And he knew the students in the performance class like the back of his hand. He could name all the students who went up.
Lu Chen came to his senses and nodded with a smile.
Fan Ying and Lu Haoyu were both good, especially Fan Ying, who had bright eyes and white teeth. Her appearance and temperament were very suitable for a role in his new play.
But Lu Chen would not rush to a conclusion — what if there was a more suitable one?
Beijing was a place where people gathered. Beijing Film, Beijing Opera, and Chinese Media were divided into three parts. There were also many film and television related colleges and training institutions. It was very easy to find actors.
After the two students on the stage finished their performance, the instructor sitting in the front row of the audience stood up and said, "Alright, let's take a break first. We'll continue the class in ten minutes."
Lu Chen turned his head and asked Fang Hui, who was sitting on his left, "Sister Fang Hui, do you have a candidate in mind?"
Fang Hui was much more serious than him. She had been taking notes with a notebook in her hand.
Regarding Lu Chen's question, she answered without hesitation, "This Fan Ying is not bad. I think she should be quite suitable to play Chen Xiaona. There's also Zhu Zheqin …"
There were two important roles in the new TV series "Full House of Romance" that Lu Chen hadn't confirmed yet. This time, he came to Beijing Film Studios to pick people and sign them directly if they were suitable.
Fang Hui had read the script long ago. Her advice was very professional, which was quite in line with Lu Chen's ideas.
This was the advantage of working with Lu Chen before. Some directors were very stubborn in the choice of roles and did not allow others to intervene. However, Fang Hui completely respected Lu Chen's decision in this regard and trusted Lu Chen's vision.
It was precisely because of this that even though he had flatly refused the contract request put forward by Fang Hui's agent at that time, Lu Chen did not completely give up the idea of working with her. He deliberately let some news out.
In terms of filming, Fang Hui's desire for power as a director was not very strong. Lu Chen was still very happy to work with her.
"Fan Ying can be a backup first …"
Lu Chen said softly, "These roles need you to check. The project will start next week."
Fang Hui respected him, and he also respected Fang Hui's authority as a director.
This was very important. If the director did not have enough authority in a crew, then he would not be able to control the situation, and it would be impossible to make a really good play.
Fang Hui was very happy. "Well, let's watch more, or go to China Media tomorrow?"
Fang Hui graduated from the directing department of China Media College. If the conditions were right, she would certainly be willing to sign a few newcomers from her alma mater.
Lu Chen said with a smile, "I can't do it tomorrow. I'm going out of town. Let's talk about it when I come back."
Fang Hui said, "Hmm."
It was common for a star like Lu Chen to go out to participate in commercial performances or endorsement activities, so she didn't care.
"Hello, Teacher Lu Chen!"
At this time, several girls came over. The pretty face of the one in the middle was red, and her bright eyes were full of excitement and excitement. She asked Lu Chen, "Can you take a picture with us?"
Lu Chen was stunned, and then he said with a smile, "Of course, no problem."
This bold girl was Fan Ying, who had just performed on the stage. Both Lu Chen and Fang Hui were quite optimistic about her.
"Great!"
The girls chattered and laughed, surrounding Lu Chen.
Teacher Zhang and Fang Hui smiled and made way for them to take photos with Lu Chen.
The two knew that the freshmen were still very interested in star idols. If the juniors and seniors were used to the world, they would not be so popular.
Click! Click!
Several girls took photos with Lu Chen with their mobile phones, and then politely thanked him.
These Beijing Film students, who were one in a thousand, were all of good quality.
"Student Fan Ying …"
They were just about to leave when Lu Chen stopped the girl named Fan Ying.
Fan Ying turned around in surprise. "Ah?"
Lu Chen asked, "Are you interested in trying out the role in my new play?"
Originally, Lu Chen put her on the list of candidates, but after some contact just now, he felt that Fan Ying's character and temper were very good, generous and well-spoken, so he directly sent an invitation.
"Ah!"
Fan Ying's eyes widened in surprise.
Of course, she knew that Lu Chen and others appeared here accompanied by the teachers of the college, and they were definitely not here to study.
It was very common for directors and producers in the circle to come to Beijing Film Academy to select actors, but generally speaking, they would choose among the juniors and seniors, because compared with freshmen, the seniors had more acting experience, and they had enough time outside of studying.
Fan Ying knew Lu Chen, listened to his songs and watched "Autumn in My Heart". She was half a fan, so she asked her classmates to take a photo with him.
But she never thought that Lu Chen would send her an invitation to audition.
This was Lu Chen, who created and starred in "Autumn in My Heart". Everyone present knew very well how popular this TV series was. His new play was bound to be a hit this year!
Fan Ying suddenly felt as if she had been hit by a pie falling from the sky, and her whole body was dizzy.
And the girls around all cast envious and even jealous eyes — Little Yingying was going to be popular!
The small auditorium became very quiet, and many other students of the performance class heard it. Although they knew that such things were not uncommon in Beijing Film, it still felt very unreal when it happened in front of them.
After being stunned for a moment, Fan Ying finally reacted and said hesitantly, "I … Can I really do it?"
Lu Chen said with a smile, "You'll know after the audition … Sister Li?"
He nodded to Sister Li, who understood and stood up. She handed Fan Ying her business card and said, "Contact me tomorrow."
Fan Ying took the business card in a daze and said subconsciously, "Thank you!"
The next moment, she held the business card tightly, as if holding her life and happiness.
Lu Chen and Sister Li looked at each other and smiled. Lu Chen said, "Let's go."
Sister Li and Fang Hui had no objection. They had seen enough today. If they could choose one, it would be a worthwhile trip.
If necessary, they could come again tomorrow to see level 12 or 13, or go to Beijing Opera or China Media.
After Teacher Zhang left the small auditorium with Lu Chen and the others, several girls immediately surrounded Fan Ying.
"Ah, Little Yingying, you're going to be famous!"
"Yes, yes, don't forget us sisters when you become famous in the future!"
"Lu Chen's new play, I don't know what kind of theme it will be. Yingying, what role do you think you will play?"
"Female lead?"
"Impossible, that's Chen Fei 'er's role."
"I'll treat you tonight …"
Fan Ying was dizzy from their chatter and said weakly, "I don't know if I can pass …"
But she knew very well that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her!
