Yu mei praised Xie Ming to give Qin Jia a good lesson.
" Miss, you were so good, just now. That girl, whoever she is, she was not good in front of you. Even after wearing such a short dress and makeup, she still looked inferior to you.
You"re the best." she said while showing her thumbs up.
Hearing Yu mei"s words, Xie Ming chuckled.
They waited for their turn.
Xie Ming heard the director shouting at the contestants for being incompetent, useless and what not. Girls keep coming out of the room within 5 minutes, they went in. And most of them were either sad or even crying.
She thought, " the director was so ruthless. How could he have the heart to shout at these pretty girls." she felt bad for the girls.
The other girls waiting outside were scared to go inside for an audition. Many of them even left without giving the audition as they thought they will not pa.s.s the audition. And they don"t want to get insulted like this.
The time soon pa.s.sed and Xie Ming"s turn came. The girl in a black t-s.h.i.+rt and jeans was wearing the staff badge, called Xie Min"s number " 190".
As Xie Ming heard her name, she stood up from the chair and straightened her clothes to go inside. She said, " Yes. Here." she said to the girl who called her name.
Inside the room, there were a total of four people sitting in the place of the judges.
One in the center was Mr. Han, the famous director. He was tall and middle-aged. But he has maintained his body quite well for the director.
On his right, a woman in her 50"s was sitting. She was slim but has slight wrinkles on her face, she was wearing the round-shaped specs and was wearing a skin-colored dress. She was the writer of the movie, her name is Yi s.h.i.+. She was a famous writer, whose two dramas were a big hit consecutively. It was her first time, writing for a movie.
On the left of director Han, there was an old man in her 70"s, with slightly white hair. He has wrinkles on his face but he has well-maintained his physique which made him look younger than his age.
He was the director"s friend of Mr. Han who came to accompany him for the auditions. He was also the veteran in this field, he was not only Mr. Han"s friend but also his mentor.
In the entertainment industry, he is known as Mr Su.
And beside him, there was a tall man, with fair skin. His facial features were sharp and her body was muscular. With his pointed jaw and beautiful eyes, he was looking handsome. He was the male lead of the movie, Wu Sheng.
Before Xie Ming entered, Mr Han was already annoyed by previous contestants. He still didn"t get his female second lead. He doesn"t want to compromise for this role.
The movie he was making, was based in an ancient time. It was his first time to make a movie on this theme. This script was very special to him, as it was the script written by his late brother, who dies in an accident at a young age.
It was the first story that his brother has written but never get a chance to work on it, as he died before that. Mr Han has kept this script with him till now.
He wanted to make a movie on this story as it was the last wish of his brother. He wanted his brother to be remembered through this story.
He chose the most popular and experienced writer for this story, to make subtle changes to it so that it could be made into a movie. Though it was her first time writing for a movie, but she was experienced in the field of period drama. Her two big hit dramas were also period drama.
It was a kind of genre that is very hard to pull off. This kind of genre could make people get bored easily. But both dramas of her were a big hit. The cast, story, graphics, everything was just perfect.
Mr. Han also wanted his movie to be perfect.
He wanted his second lead to be beautiful and elegant. These are the basics, but the thing that he wants the most is emotions.
The second female lead should need to show emotions according to the scene and it was the most difficult thing as the emotions in this movie cannot be explained with dialogues only. One needs to feel the character and it"s emotions to pull this kind of role.
One needs to show emotions with their expressions. And this kind of art, not everybody has. The actresses he had auditioned were not fit for the role as they couldn"t understand the feelings of the second female lead.
Mr. Han was busy ranting about how the previous contestant was useless, meanwhile, Mr. Su called next contestant in.
At that time, Xie Ming entered the room hesitantly. Though she was hesitant, but her posture was straight, both hands in her front. Her beautiful smile was plastered on her face, the smile was not low or too bright. It was subtle.
She was wearing a bright yellow-colored plain dress with matching heels. The heels gave her a slightly tall look making her more confident and beautiful.
When she entered, Mr Han. who was ranting about useless actresses earlier paused in his words. He swallowed his next words seeing Xie Ming.
Everyone in the room became quiet when Xie Ming entered. Even the male lead Wu Sheng was looking at Xie in daze.
He had seen many beautiful actresses and worked with them. But the beauty like Xie Ming, it was his first time. When Mr Han, looked at Xie Ming, who was walking towards them elegantly, he raised his eyebrows.
He was pleased with the way she dressed up and the way she walked in. Most of the time, the actresses who come for auditions will get too excited and all smiley and sometimes they are too haughty, and arrogant thinking they were the best, kind of att.i.tude they have.
But Xie Ming was smiling subtly, it was not too much or too low to show lack of interest. It was just... perfect.
