Chapter 194 Audition
Joanna was depressed. This script was really weird. She picked for a long time and there were quite a few female characters, but the only outstanding one was the female protagonist. The only other supporting actress was the male protagonist's female secretary and bodyguard. She appeared eleven times in total, either as a background board, or being beaten and then crying.

"Okay, it's up to you to decide. Just don't get scared later!"

After saying what needed to be said, the two walked into the audition hall. It was only 8:45, and there was still a quarter of an hour before the official casting, but there were at least thirty or forty people in the hall.

Of course, there are indeed many actresses she can name.

It seems that the competition is really fierce.

Sister Na took her to a secluded spot to sit down, and Qiangzi followed beside her, taking the cups and bags.

"Take a look at the script while you have time."

As far as she knows, her artist was the first to get the script, which means that Director Chen is most optimistic about Liruan. If she fails the audition, it will be difficult to get a script from Director Chen in the future.

After all, if you can't seize the opportunity given to you, you can't blame others.

At 8:50, the crew assistants began handing out number cards, and at 9 o'clock everyone walked into the audition room.

This also means that today's audition has officially begun.

Qiangzi showed Liruan the number plate he had received, which was number 4.

Liruan praised, "Very good, the performance will be over sooner rather than later."

Qiangzi asked casually, "What if I got number 40?"

It would definitely take half a day to select both the female lead and the supporting actress. When he took his number, he asked, and they told him that only female actors would be selected today, and more than 50 people would audition in total.

"That's good too. I can even take a nap at noon." Li Ruan said casually.

Qiao Na muttered softly: "Heh, you are getting better and better at talking now, why do you have to be so harsh when recording the show? Do you know how many people you will offend by doing this?

Don’t say whatever you want to say in the next episode.”

Li Ruan nodded perfunctorily. She was not the type to swallow her anger. If she was unhappy, she would fight back on the spot. Her breasts were still breasts. Why should she endure it?

The audition was very quick. Liruan saw artist No. 2 walk in with her own eyes. After coming out, he did not leave but sat down again.

This is not a good sign!

This shows that the director is quite satisfied with her performance, but we have to wait and see if there are any more outstanding performances later. If not, the role of the female lead will most likely be her.

Number 4 was called soon. Joanna took the bag from Liruan's hand and signaled her with her eyes to go in quickly.

"Don't be nervous. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, forget it. We don't lack jobs."

She was not lying. Since the end of the last episode, a pile of variety shows and scripts have been handed to her, but she rejected them all.

After all, no variety show is more popular than "Let's Go on an Adventure", and no script is more popular than "Police Girl Out of the Chan" which is about to be filmed by Director Chen, so her mind is fully focused on these two movies.

But she didn't want to put too much pressure on Liruan, and kept telling her not to be nervous, it would be best if she was chosen, but if she wasn't, forget it, they had plenty of announcements anyway. But in fact, she was more nervous than Liruan!

Since she is an agent, who wouldn't want to produce a first-line star, or even a movie queen or actor? Unfortunately, I don't know if she has bad vision or bad luck. She has managed more than a dozen artists, but none of them became famous. She only produced a third-line star before, but that person ended up joining the arms of other agents.

Now she placed all her hopes on Liruan.

She is so soft, she must succeed today!

In the audition room, Liruan bowed to the five judges, and when she raised her head, she took a serious look at the director sitting in the main seat.

He looks to be in his sixties and is just a skinny old man, but his eyes give people a very shrewd feeling.

"Hello everyone, I'm number 4, actress Li Ruan, and I play the female lead Song Hua."

Director Chen looked Liruan up and down. She was wearing a white shirt, blue jeans and flat sneakers. One scene in the play was that she wore such clothes to catch a thief after work. Moreover, Liruan was tall, and even in flat shoes she was 172cm tall. Her appearance, in particular, was the most suitable for the image of a heroine, a school beauty and a policewoman.

"I want to ask, you performed a sword dance in a variety show, have you ever learned martial arts?"

Liruan nodded, and then smiled confidently, "I have learned it. I should be able to do any of the martial arts designs in this play."

Director Chen was amused by the child's confidence, "Okay, let's do a literary performance."

The producer chuckled. Director Chen glared at the producer and then coughed lightly: "Let's just act out the part where Song Hua was expelled from the police force."

Liruan: “Good director.”

Song Hua received the news that because she made mistakes repeatedly and did not change after being criticized, she beat up Zou Jie, a powerful figure.

The other party was relentless and complained about Song Hua many times, and was determined not to stop until she was unemployed. She also invested five million yuan in the police station. The leader finally decided to fire Song Hua.

After receiving the notice, Song Hua packed her personal belongings with a cold face. Her colleague advised her, "Song Hua, don't be angry. We are police officers. The police force is a place where rules are followed. How can we do things as we please?
You are just too reckless. If you don't follow the rules, you will be eliminated."

It sounds a bit harsh, but it's true.

Song Hua paused while packing her things, glanced at the other person, and then quickened her pace. There were complex emotions in her eyes, and it seemed that if anyone said one more word, she would burst into tears on the spot. This also made the colleagues who wanted to persuade her a few more words give up.

Song Hua packed up her things quickly. She looked around the place where she had worked for more than half a year. There was reluctance and regret in her eyes. Then she turned around and walked out of the police station step by step, out of everyone's sight.

It was just this one scene, without a single line of dialogue, full of emotion. Liruan carefully built up the emotions, and then officially started the performance.

"Director, I'm ready."

Director Chen nodded, "Then I'll set up a play for you."

That is to say, he just recited his colleague's lines without any emotion, but when he was reciting the lines, Liruan's performance had already begun. The non-physical performance of packing up things, coupled with that cold and angry face, immediately brought people into the scene.

Five minutes later, Li Ruan's performance ended. The screenwriter's eyes were all bright. Director Chen picked up the bottle of mineral water on the table and took a sip. "Let's do another segment. There is a scene in the play where you chase a thief on the street. We have limited space, so you can perform freely."

Liruan: ...You asked me to perform a street play indoors. You also know that the space is limited. People who don’t know would think you are making trouble for others!
However, this really doesn't make it difficult for her.
