That night, after Mo Ting returned home, Tangning dragged him into their gym and spent almost 4 hours rehearsing with him.
But, while they were sleeping, Mo Ting noticed that, even though Tangning tried her best to hide it, there were still bruises all over her body.
So, the CEO had no choice but to wake up in the middle of the night to look for medicine for his wife.
For the sake of a short 2 hours on screen, the price that an actor had to pay was too high... After helping her apply medicine, Mo Ting's heart ached. But, he thought to himself, this was the real Tangning; the Tangning that was made of flesh and blood. For the sake of her goal, Tangning was willing to sacrifice herself.
The next morning, Tangning received a phone call from Long Jie.
"Strange, everyone else was notified of their auditions at 2pm. Why did they tell you to go at 3pm? Is there a different time for the lead actors? "
After receiving this answer, a cold glint appeared in Tangning's eyes. She then replied, "I understand."
"Tangning, don't tell me someone is actually scheming something behind your back?"
"I'm not sure, but we have to be cautious," Tangning replied. "Don't worry, I can handle this."
"I'm not worried. I'm more worried about the person that's targeting you," Long Jie said before she hung up the phone. She was no longer a manager. Instead, she was working as Fang Yu's assistant at Hai Rui before she took the promotion test. In reality, the main reason was because she was preparing for pregnancy.
Tangning put down her phone and gave Song Yanshu a phone call, "I need to get ready. Come pick me up and take me to the audition location."
"You're early?" Song Yanshu was a little surprised.
"Uh huh," Tangning nodded. "There's been a change in the situation..."
In order to adapt to the situation, she decided to stay close to the agency...
...
1.30pm. Those that had been notified of their auditions began to arrive one after another. This included Gu Heng. It seemed, she was determined to get the role.
She was one of the few actors in the country who had martial arts skills, and her martial arts movements were powerful and smooth. Therefore, police films would usually consider her first, mainly because of her rich experience.
Tangning was among the 100 people. She was wearing a normal t-shirt and a black sun hat. She was sitting on a chair reading her script in the most ordinary way possible. She even hid her legs under the chair. This caused everyone to overlook the fact that this low-key woman was the Tangning that attracted attention no matter where she went.
The audition took place at the Beijing Academy of Performing Arts. This was Wei An's alma mater. At this moment, over a hundred people were waiting in the spacious classroom while the audition candidates entered the rehearsal room.
As time was tight, the person whose name was called quickly went to the audition. Among them, there were those who went in and came out, and there were also those who stayed for ten minutes.
"Hey, didn't they say that Tangning was going to audition? Why isn't she here yet? "In the crowd, someone began to gossip to ease the tense atmosphere.
Actually, among these people, most of them had some background or qualifications. Otherwise, how could anyone act in a famous director's movie?
"I haven't seen her yet …"
That was what Wei An's assistant told Wei An at the judging panel.
Wei An nodded his head, "You must keep this a secret. When it's Tangning's turn, remember to call her by name."
"OK."
Elder Mo was also in the rehearsal room. However, he sat in an inconspicuous position.
"Just because you said it was 3pm, it's 3pm? Why can't you use your brain? "Elder Mo expressed his disappointment that Tangning hadn't appeared.
It was obvious that Wei An wanted to eliminate Tangning, but he was worried about Hai Rui's reputation. So, he found an excuse for Wei An...
Soon, Gu Heng entered the rehearsal room accompanied by her assistant. Apparently, after her performance, the judges all nodded their heads in approval. They were just short of making a decision on the spot. But, even if they didn't say it out loud, they still approved of her performance. So, they insisted on watching until the end.
"Director Wei, it's Tangning's turn."
"Go invite her in …" Wei An said as he lowered his head. Since Tangning hadn't arrived, he could at least give Elder Mo an explanation.
But, just as the assistant went out to invite Tangning, a person wearing a hat suddenly stood up from within the crowd. Needless to say, her height was enough to prove her identity to everyone.
But, to everyone's surprise, no one recognized Tangning …
Including the assistant, who had assumed Tangning hadn't arrived yet.
Seeing Tangning walk over to his side, the assistant was a little surprised. How was he going to explain this to the director? Plus, he had clearly told Tangning to arrive at 3pm. How did Tangning arrive on time?
Enduring the awkwardness, the assistant led Tangning into the rehearsal room. At this time, Wei An, who was looking down at Tangning's resume, lifted his head and saw her. His eyebrows twitched …
"Good morning, judges. I am Tangning," Tangning removed her hat, revealing a head of short hair …
Short hair!
That's right, she was wearing a wig. This was how the thug in the film looked. What was even more surprising was, Tangning was wearing ripped jeans, white shoes and a baseball jersey.
"This …" Out of the four judges, apart from Wei An, the others were pleasantly surprised.
With this outfit, Tangning was like the female thug standing in front of them. Sure enough, the rumors said that Tangning was good at reading people. It turned out, they weren't lying. She had come prepared.
Meanwhile, Elder Mo, who was sitting in the shadows, almost clapped his hands and cheered. This young woman was indeed interesting.
He noticed a dark look flash across Wei An's eyes …
But, in Wei An's heart, he was certain that Tangning was only good at silent scenes. So, even if Tangning arrived on time for her audition, she still wouldn't pass. Even if she passed, he would find another reason to reject Tangning and let Gu Heng take over. At least, he would be more satisfied with Gu Heng's performance.
"You can start …"
"I have a request," Tangning said to the judges. "I would like to ask Director Wei An to act in my film. I wonder if you would be willing."
Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect Tangning to be so brave. She didn't want anyone else, she actually wanted Wei An.
Wei An revealed an interesting expression. He leaned back in his chair, threw away his pen and nodded his head, "Sure. How do you want me to cooperate?"
Tangning had even prepared her own props as she handed Wei An a gun, "In 'The Lost Relative', there is a scene where the female lead and male lead are trapped in a cave. That scene …"
In that scene, the male lead held a hostage and was trapped in a cave with the female thug. According to the script, the male lead had his foot on the hostage's back and the gun in his hand pointed at the other hostage's head. At this time, the female lead was sitting on a rock facing off against the male lead.
There was a silent scene …
But, the most exciting part was the fight scene at the end. After the female lead is shot, she pounces over to grab the gun …
Wei An never expected that Tangning would act in such a place.
But, he didn't think Tangning would be able to act in such a place …
