The director of Auchan was very pleased with Gu Wan's true nature. He had a very sharp eye, and he could see through those who wanted to play tricks in front of him with just a glance.
Judging from Gu Wan's performance just now, she was definitely not someone who liked to play tricks.
He stood up first and invited Gu Wan to sit down. He smiled and said to liven up the atmosphere, "I'm a little disappointed to find that I'm not the middle-aged uncle with a beer belly that you thought I was."
Gu Wan didn't act pretentious and said frankly, "I was a little disappointed at first, but after seeing you, I suddenly feel that it's better to be a handsome guy. At least he's pleasing to the eye!"
"Haha, Miss Gu is really a humorous person. In terms of looks, how can I compare to Director Gong!"
"That's not necessarily true. At least in my eyes, you're a standard handsome guy!" Gu Wan said with a smile.
After a short interaction, Gu Wan felt that the person in front of her was quite humorous. She believed that the other people in the Auchan crew wouldn't be difficult to get along with.
Gong Mohan, Little Fish, and Bao 'er followed closely behind Gu Wan and sat down. They quietly listened to the banter between Gu Wan and the people from Auchan. When they heard the funny scene, the two children couldn't help but laugh.
"This must be the child of Director Gong and Miss Gu. Director Gong is a handsome man, and he's a match made in heaven with Miss Gu. This child is also very good-looking!"
Little Fishy and Bao Er had heard countless words of flattery, so they had long since trained to be indifferent to praise or disgrace. After politely thanking the other party, they obediently returned to their original seats.
"The boy is the older brother, we usually call him Bao 'er. The girl is the younger sister, and her nickname is Little Fish. If Director Ou doesn't mind, you can just call them by their nicknames."
Gu Wan introduced the two children with a smile. Little Fish and Bao 'er were the pride of her life.
Gong Mohan had not spoken much since he sat down. This was something that Gu Wan had to face alone. It was not suitable for him to stand up for Gu Wan here, nor could he interfere with her choice. Otherwise, it would only backfire.
He gave a simple self-introduction. In fact, it was completely unnecessary. After the previous few online disturbances, the family of four would be the focus of attention wherever they appeared.
"In that case, allow me to make a simple self-introduction."
The person from Auchan who had just livened up the atmosphere suddenly stood up. Under the curious gaze of Little Fish and Bao 'er, he patted his non-existent beer belly, successfully making the two kids laugh.
He said heartily, "I'm the director of Auchan with a stubble beard and a beer belly. My surname is Ou, but you can call me Director Ou if you don't mind!"
"Oh ~"
"Pfft!"
Little Fish and Bao 'er made noises according to the situation, successfully making many people laugh.
The serious atmosphere was interrupted, and the few of them laughed for a while because of this little episode.
Liang Haijing stopped smiling and reached out to shake hands with Gu Wan politely. He then introduced himself, "Liang Haijing, I'm currently a screenwriter for Auchan. You can come to me if you have any questions in the future."
Gu Wan agreed with a smile. She looked at the other party quietly. She had heard of the name Liang Haijing a long time ago.
He could be said to be a real genius screenwriter.
Although there were not many films that had passed through his hands over the years, and some of them could even be said to have lost everything, there were still many people who fought to work with him, not for anything else but for the characters he wrote.
It seemed that Auchan wanted to make a big production by poaching such a legendary figure to work with this time. However, after reading the script, she was a little surprised.
If she hadn't seen Liang Haijing in person, she probably wouldn't have believed that the script she received a few days ago was actually written by Liang Haijing. This made Gu Wan wonder if Liang Haijing's condition was really declining like the rumors said, and he was no longer as legendary as he used to be.
"I'm sure Miss Gu has already read the script I sent. I wonder if you have any suggestions, Miss Gu?" Auchan went straight to the point. He asked Gu Wan to come today to talk about the script, not to have afternoon tea in a cafe.
People in their industry were more or less superstitious. They were about to miss the best time to start shooting. If the female lead's condition wasn't good, all their previous efforts would be wasted.
They didn't know how long it would take to wait for the next auspicious day. Now that the equipment of the crew needed a lot of money to maintain, they couldn't stop as long as they started.
"I still have a little doubt. With Director Ou's ability, he should be able to easily find a more suitable actor than me, but why did you choose me?"
Gu Wan still had doubts in her heart. She still didn't understand why there were so many stars with good acting skills in this world. They couldn't find anyone else to play the role, so why did they have to find someone like her who came from an unorthodox background?
Weren't they afraid that she would mess up the scene and ruin the script that the other party had painstakingly prepared?
One had to know that in the crew, from the small extras to the big actors, not to mention the meticulously prepared props, every item was very costly. Once it was messed up, it would be a huge loss.
It was very likely that all of Auchan's years of hard work would go to waste!
Liang Haijing, who had been silent the whole time, opened her mouth. "Miss Gu Wan, I know what you're worried about. Originally, we planned to find those big stars to play the lead role in this script, but after comparison, they were all filtered out."
Gu Wan asked, "Why? Is it because their acting skills aren't good? That's impossible, right? "
Liang Haijing shook her head and said with a smile, "It has nothing to do with acting skills. I chose you mainly because I feel that your experience is very similar to the female lead. Acting skills can be learned later, but experience can't be learned."
Gu Wan heard this and didn't say anything else. At this point, the doubts in her heart were almost solved. Since the other party chose her because of her experience, she couldn't suddenly go back on her word since she had already accepted the role.
"Miss Gu, if you have any questions, you can ask us directly. Screenwriter Liang and I can also help you."
Auchan smiled to ease the tense atmosphere between the two sides. He was afraid that Gu Wan would be angry because of Liang Haijing's rude words, and it would be troublesome if she provoked Gong Mohan.
Gu Wan shook her head to indicate that she didn't. She had already asked what she needed to ask, and there was no point in continuing to dwell on this topic.
"Miss Gu, if you don't mind, you can directly come to the audition today." Auchan finally revealed his real purpose.
"Here?" Gu Wan looked around the coffee shop. Although it was relatively quiet, work like an audition definitely couldn't be carried out in such an environment.
Auchan shook his head, "Not here. We're going to the set for the audition. It's not far from the set, and there's more than enough time."
Gu Wan turned back to look at Gong Mohan. After a brief eye contact, they set off to follow Auchan to the set.
It was the first time for Bao 'er and Little Fish to come to the set, so they were more curious about all the equipment around them. Two pairs of big bright eyes looked around.
The assistant and the bodyguards had been dutifully holding the two children, not letting them run around at will, lest they get hurt.
Gong Mohan quickly walked to Gu Wan and whispered, "Don't be afraid during the audition. It doesn't matter if you make a mistake. It's not like you can't change it. Don't feel burdened. I'll take care of everything for you."
He was more worried that Gu Wan might be nervous and make a mistake.
Gong Mohan was not worried that Gu Wan would make a mistake. He was afraid that Gu Wan would be too proud and take things too hard because of this little blow. With her character, she would definitely find a dead end.
Gu Wan heard Gong Mohan's comforting words, and her heart warmed. Just now in the coffee shop, in order to respect her choice, Gong Mohan quietly listened to her bargaining with Auchan and did not interfere with any of her decisions.
She said lightly, "It's okay, I'm not afraid. If I can't even take this little setback, how can I continue to stand by your side in the future?"
Gong Mohan smiled in relief. He touched Gu Wan's cheek and whispered something in her ear, successfully making Gu Wan blush again.
Auchan led Gu Wan and the others to an inconspicuous room. Gong Mohan took the child from the assistant and sat in a corner of the room, ready to watch Gu Wan's audition.
Liang Haijing and Auchan sat at the judges' table and gestured for Gu Wan to start her performance.
Gu Wan stood calmly on the stage. She recalled the scene that touched her the most when she read the script and slowly expressed it with her body language and eyes.
When Auchan and Liang Haijing saw the sudden change in Gu Wan's aura, they knew that she had gotten into character. He slowed down his breathing and the scene was so quiet that one could hear the sound of a pin dropping on the ground.
At this time, Little Fish and Bao 'er also sat obediently in their seats and watched Gu Wan's performance. Everyone was silent as they watched Gu Wan's performance.
The scene that Gu Wan chose happened to be the main character, Su Qi, who was misunderstood by Lu Ting. She was confused about the future and did not trust the person she loved. She was immersed in her inner struggle.
She wanted to protect the only thing she had, but she could only watch it constantly leak like sand. She wanted to grasp it with her hands but could not grasp it no matter how hard she tried.
When Gu Wan watched this scene, she seemed to see herself in the past through Su Qi. That was why she chose to act in this scene when Auchan suggested the audition.
Gu Wan's performance was not only about Su Qi's experience, but also about her and Su Qi's real experience. She was clearly playing herself.
Auchan and Liang Haijing were brought into Gu Wan's performance and could not come back to their senses for a long time.
"Great, this is simply great!" Auchan stood in front of Gu Wan excitedly and said, "Miss Gu Wan, you're so good at acting. You've simply portrayed the person I've been thinking about in my heart. This role is really suitable for you! It's almost tailor-made for you! "
