After all, it was a TV series directed by Chen Fengchen. For example, Soldiers Assault had been scheduled as a spring drama and aired during prime time. The TV series became popular before it even aired, and the story of Drawing Sword was no worse than that of Soldiers Assault. Naturally, there were many small-time actors who wanted to join Chen Fengchen's team.
Moreover, they had the support of their respective management companies and were well prepared for the audition. Yang Huan and Ding Xiang were rookies. They had done nothing but study the original novel. Now, they had come here so casually. Yang Huan's confidence was greatly reduced when compared to them.
"Don't be afraid. They're not necessarily better than you!" Ding Xiang could only comfort Yang Huan in a low voice. "Huanhuan, do you want me to braid you too?"
However, it was too late!
While Ding Xiang and Yang Huan were talking, the staff was already in an uproar, saying that Chen Fengchen had arrived.
They did not dare to move. After a while, Chen Fengchen appeared at the door of the conference room.
"Welcome to Comrade Xiuqin's audition. I believe that you've all read the original novel of Drawing Sword and have a certain understanding of the character. The staff will send you the audition script in a while. You'll be given twenty minutes to read it. After that, you'll audition according to the order of drawing lots …" Chen Fengchen looked around and only glanced at Yang Huan. He then began to speak calmly.
Chen Fengchen's voice was gentle, but the prestige he had built up over a long period of time still made the small-time actors keep quiet.
It was not until Chen Fengchen turned around and left that the buzzing of voices in the conference room stopped.
"He didn't seem to recognize me!" Yang Huan said to Ding Xiang with a smile.
"Why are you still concerned about that at a time like this?" Ding Xiang said angrily, "It's time to read the script!"
However, after Chen Fengchen left, an even fiercer man came. He held a thick stack of papers and said sternly, "Unrelated personnel, please leave. Including the agents who came with the actors. Only actors can stay here. You can wait in the guest hall. "
Ding Xiang had no choice but to leave with the other agents and assistants, leaving Yang Huan alone.
Yang Huan was a little uneasy. When she received the script and drew lots, she became even more flustered.
"Why am I the first one?" Yang Huan looked at the paper and was dumbfounded.
Why did she draw such an unlucky lot?
Being the first one meant that she would have to face a test right from the start.
This also meant that she only had 20 minutes left to read the script. Unlike other actors, she could take advantage of the time she took to read the script.
Time ticked by. Yang Huan shook his head and felt that he could not afford to waste any more time.
"What are you afraid of? Worst comes to worst, we'll just go back to school and continue our lessons. We'll have plenty of chances in the future! "Yang Huan gritted his teeth and roared in his heart.
How could Sister Huan be frightened by such a small matter?
Yang Huan made up his mind and read the script carefully.
The script for the audition was just a thin page. The plot was about Xiuqin picking up the blood bubbles on Li Yunlong's feet and then confessing her love for him. It was not the plot where Xiuqin was held hostage by the Japanese and sacrificed herself on the city wall as Yang Huan and Ding Xiang had speculated.
Regardless, Yang Huan had carefully studied the plot of Xiuqin in Drawing Sword. What she needed to do now was to memorize the dialogue as soon as possible.
It wasn't easy for Yang Huan, who wasn't a straight-A student, to memorize a textbook.
…
Twenty minutes later, the assistant who distributed the script asked solemnly, "Who drew number one just now? Come with me. "
Yang Huan quickly picked up the script in her hand and stood up.
"Let's go!" The assistant sized up Yang Huan and led the way out of the meeting room without saying much.
Yang Huan left her seat and quickly followed. Before leaving, she couldn't help but glance at the meeting room from the corner of her eye.
The other actors in the meeting room were also looking at her. Some tried to hide it, while others did not bother to hide the ridicule in their eyes.
Perhaps they thought that Yang Huan had no chance since she was called out so early!
Or perhaps they thought that Yang Huan was not worthy of being their opponent when they saw her dressed like a modern person with her hair draped over her shoulders without any preparation.
Yang Huan saw their eyes and felt a little unhappy, but she did not think too much about it. She was still memorizing the lines on the script as she walked up the stairs of the guest house.
Finally, it was time for the test. Yang Huan returned the script to the assistant and pushed the door open.
It was also a small meeting room, but the other furnishings had been moved out. There were only a few connected tables with a few people sitting behind them, including Chen Fengchen. In front of them, there was a chair, which was used as a prop for Yang Huan's performance. It was used as a bed.
Before Yang Huan could speak, Chen Fengchen waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "Alright, let's skip the pleasantries."
"You're Yang Huan, right? Or Jiang Chuan's student? Hmm … "Chen Fengchen flipped through the resume that the assistant had given him and had a rough impression. He then turned around and introduced," This is Mr. Shen Wanyi. He will rehearse with you later, but he will only be responsible for reading the lines. You will perform the rest. Do you understand? "
Actually, Chen Fengchen didn't need to personally host the audition, but the old man was a little stubborn. He believed that he had to be the one in charge of the audition and couldn't let anyone influence his judgment. There were still a lot of tricks that could be played during the audition.
Yang Huan nodded quickly.
Shen Wanyi? Yang Huan glanced at the man sitting beside Chen Fengchen, who was about 50 years old. His face was as resolute as his name, and his every movement had a decisive aura.
Yang Huan was familiar with this name. In class, the teacher had told him that this actor was an award-winning actor (his acting was comparable to Mr. Dao Ming and Mr. Xue Jian in Yang Yi's previous life). He had played many classic roles, leading roles and supporting roles. However, it was not the roles themselves that were classic, but the roles became classic because of his excellent acting skills!
Mr. Shen Wanyi was going to play Li Yunlong. Director Chen Fengchen was really capable and had good taste. Yang Huan felt as if Li Yunlong was sitting in front of him when Mr. Shen was sitting there.
"Are you ready?" Chen Fengchen repeated impatiently when Yang Huan's mind wandered.
"Yes, I'm ready!" Yang Huan nodded quickly.
"Let's start with Monk Wei." Shen Wanyi coughed and pressed the cigarette in his hand. He picked up the script and started reading. "Hey, Sister Xiuqin, the leader is sleeping. Let's talk tomorrow! Ah! "
Shen Wanyi's voice sounded much younger when he played Monk Wei, and his solid acting skills were immediately reflected.
Hearing this dialogue, Yang Huan suddenly thought of Guo Dabao, who was also a "Big Bald Guy." She remembered that she had accidentally entered Viper's military camp and confronted Guo Dabao.
