How can you ascend to heaven when you are a star?

Chapter 210 Fierce Competition

"Crack!"

As the door was pushed open, the second actress for audition walked in from outside.

Zhang Wen only took a glance, and his heart, which had just been at ease, was lifted up again.

Pretty!

This was the first impression the actress gave him. She was even more beautiful than the previous actress, and she had a very pure appearance and a very sexy figure, making people unable to take their eyes off her at first sight.

Looking more closely, the other party's acting skills are also good, with 59 points in acting skills and 58 points in dialogue skills. She is also better than the first actress in terms of professionalism.

Zhang Wen swallowed unconsciously, feeling overwhelmed by the dazzling array of flowers.

No wonder there are often photos of directors and actors going out together on the Internet, and even news about couples on the crew and glow-in-the-dark scripts. Who can resist such temptation?

You can tolerate it once or twice, but can you tolerate it a hundred or two hundred times?
Even if it is bent, it can be straightened.

Zhang Wen believes in Du Wenjuan's professional ability, but in terms of appearance, she is indeed slightly inferior to the first two.

In the entertainment industry, strength is not the key to being able to play a role, appearance is also important.

How many celebrities have become actors because of their looks?

And there are many such people in the entertainment industry.

Zhang Wen secretly glanced at Han Xiaohua next to him. He didn't know if the other party was a face control, but the male and female protagonists in the TV series directed by the other party seemed to be handsome men and beautiful women.

"Hello, teachers." The actress bowed and handed over her resume.

A woman's soft voice and innocent appearance can easily arouse a man's desire to protect her.

Zhang Wen looked at her resume, which was still very impressive. She had appeared in six film and television dramas, and she was either the first or second female lead.

No need to search, it must be another little star.

Zhang Wen covered his heart with his hand, trying to calm himself down. He even doubted himself whether he should give such an important role to Du Wenjuan.

Du Wenjuan, Du Wenjuan, please don’t let me down!
Zhang Wen began to pray silently in his heart.

Han Xiaohua handed the script of the previous scene to the actress again, with the same preparation time of 1 minute and the same requirements.

The actress quickly read the script, closed her eyes and thought for a while, and when the 1 minute was up, she put the script back on the table.

"Teacher, I'm ready." The actress said confidently.

"Well, let's start." Zhang Wen said.

The actress took a deep breath, her eyes gradually became firm, her face became extremely serious, and her temperament was slightly different from before.

"!"

Zhang Wen's heart trembled. Although this actress only differed from the first actress by 2 points in acting skills, the feeling she gave him seemed to be very different.

According to the fairy tale novels, shouldn't 59 performance skill points be called a half-step elite?

"..."

The 3-minute performance ended quickly. When the actress bowed again and turned to leave, Zhang Wen finally came to his senses.

The strength of this half-step elite is indeed extraordinary.

He suddenly felt that he was a bit bad in casting, otherwise how could he fall in love with every girl he saw?

When he saw the first actress auditioning, he thought that girl performed well. Now when he saw the second actress auditioning, he thought that girl performed even better. There is also the third, fourth, and fifth one... Will you have the same thought after watching it?

"Director Han, what do you think of the actress just now?" Zhang Wen asked Han Xiaohua beside him again.

"Her understanding of the character is better than the first actress, and her emotional expression is very outstanding and infectious... However, her appearance doesn't fit the image of the second female lead in my mind. She looks too pure. Even if she acts strong, she won't seem to have the killing power." Han Xiaohua said this, turned around with a smile, and asked, "Brother Zhang, what do you think?"

"Is Director Han testing me?" Zhang Wen asked.

"No, you are the screenwriter and the person who knows the characters best, so of course I have to ask for your opinion." Han Xiaohua explained naturally.

"Director Han, don't bother. I'll announce the answer after I've seen all the actresses who auditioned." Zhang Wen was unmoved, but in his heart he agreed with what the other party had said before.

Let Hello Kitty play a tiger, and no one will be afraid even if it shows its fangs and claws.

"You." Han Xiaohua smiled and shook his head, then drew a cross on the second actor's resume.

When auditioning for a role, the more beautiful you are, the better. First of all, you need to fit the character's personality traits. If you let a person with a pure appearance play the role of Miejue Nun, no matter how good her acting skills are, she won't be able to portray the character.

Zhang Wen's gaze shifted from the resume to the door, waiting for the arrival of the third actress.

"Crack!"

Soon, a third actress entered the room.

When Zhang Wen saw the person coming, his expression froze.

He knew this person. She was a female artist from Tianxi Media and also a very famous female star. Although she was not as popular as Bai Lu, she was firmly in the second tier in terms of popularity.

Why is she here too?
Zhang Wen was a little surprised, because the role she was auditioning for was the second female lead, not the first female lead.

Did this woman walk into the wrong room?
"Hello, Director Han, hello, Teacher Zhang." Chen Lingxi said with a smile, and then handed over her resume confidently.

Zhang Wen looked at the other person deeply. It was normal for him to recognize Director Han, after all, he was a famous director in the circle, but knowing him made people think more.

"Here is the script, prepare in one minute." Han Xiaohua chose another script and handed it over.

Zhang Wen took a look and found that it was the most difficult of the four scenes he had prepared.

and many more!

Just now, Chen Lingxi called him Teacher Zhang. Director Han wouldn’t think that Chen Lingxi is the second female lead he has his eyes on, right?

Zhang Wen turned to look at Chen Lingxi, but after seeing the opponent's skill panel clearly, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Chen Lingxi, skills: Performance 53 points, Ballet 53 points, Lines 46 points..."

His acting skills are only 53 points, which is just average even among professional actors. His line delivery skills are even worse, not even up to professional level. Such an actor is obviously an idol and poses no threat to Du Wenjuan.

A minute later, the show began.

Zhang Wen watched very seriously, not because Chen Lingxi's performance was particularly good, he just wanted to find some flaws in her. If even he could see them, let alone Director Han next to him.

Well, she is definitely not as good as the actress just now, or even not as good as the first actress.

Although the opponent's performance skills exceeded 50 points and reached the professional level, the level he was currently displaying was obviously not up to 53 points. In his opinion, it did not even reach the professional level.

The skill points displayed on the skill panel represent the person's highest level in that skill, and does not mean that the person can perform at that level every time.

Just like Bolt ran a fastest time of 9 seconds in the 58-meter race, but he cannot run this time in every -meter race.

People with a high upper limit will not perform too badly in normal times and will even bring surprises. As for people with a low upper limit, their performance will definitely be even lower in normal times.

Especially when there is insufficient preparation, the performance can be described as terrible.

And Chen Lingxi in front of us is the best example.

Too exaggerated, too contrived!
In Zhang Wen's eyes, it wasn't even as good as the monthly performance exam held in the training department two days ago. In a three-minute performance, only this face was worth looking at.

"Director Han, Teacher Zhang, goodbye." Chen Lingxi bowed again.

Zhang Wen looked at Chen Lingxi who turned and left, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He didn't know if it was his illusion. He seemed to see Chen Lingxi winking at him just now, or a fierce look.

What do you mean?
Is this to make him go easy on him?

This time, Zhang Wen did not ask Han Xiaohua about Chen Lingxi's acting skills. He really couldn't ask.

The auditions continue.

The fourth one is also a very well-known female star. She even won the Best Supporting Actress Award last year. Her acting skill reached 63 and her dialogue skill also reached 61 points.

The fifth one is slightly less well-known, but has also appeared in many TV series and has previously worked with director Han Xiaohua.

The sixth place...

The seventh place...

Eighth place...

Zhang Wen has become a little numb.

He felt that he was just a frog in a well before. He took a group of trainees to audition and thought that audition was just like that. But when he sat here today and saw the audition of the second female lead, he felt a huge shock.

Just like what he said to Ding Chengxin two days ago, the scenery you see will be different depending on the height you stand at.

Unexpectedly, the boomerang he threw out on Monday would hit him today.

It's not painful, but it's very uncomfortable.

"Crack!"

The door opened and the ninth actress for audition walked in.

Zhang Wen took a glance and instantly perked up.

It’s Du Wenjuan.

Finally it was his turn.

At the same time, his heart began to lift. Having seen too many excellent actresses before, he became more worried about Du Wenjuan.

While the other party was stepping forward to hand in his resume, Zhang Wen directly took out 6 skill points and threw them on the other party's skill panel.

In an instant, Du Wenjuan's dialogue skill increased from 59 points to 65 points.

There was no way. He had already made such a big statement in front of Director Han. If Du Wenjuan did not perform well, he could not afford to lose face.

As for the acting...

He was relieved.

None of the eight actresses ahead of Du Wenjuan in terms of acting skills.

What's more, he had already handed the script and the character analysis of the second female role to Du Wenjuan. If the other party still couldn't conquer Han Xiaohua, he could only stand at attention and take the beating.

"1 minute to prepare..." Han Xiaohua just glanced at it and lowered his head, his eyes attracted by the content on the resume.

It’s not that this resume is so outstanding. On the contrary, its acting experience is too simple and cannot be compared with the previous actors.

The most important role you have ever played is the third female lead?
The worst role an actress has ever played before was the third female lead.

I really don't know where this person got the confidence to audition for the second female lead.

However, while expressing his feelings, Han Xiaohua suddenly thought of something. This actress had been waiting outside with other actresses for an audition. Didn't she see the female stars around her?
How would it feel for an unknown actress to be among a bunch of female stars who have both popularity and fame?

If it were him, why would he come to the audition? He would have just lowered his head and ran away long ago.

Han Xiaohua looked up at the actress in front of him. She was really fearless!
remarkably brave.

He couldn't help but feel a little more expectant.

"Teacher, I'm ready." Du Wenjuan changed the script back.

"Well, let's start." Han Xiaohua said.

The moment Du Wenjuan retreated, her eyes suddenly became sharp and a powerful aura emanated from her body. She completely lost her cold look and was like a completely different person.

It was also Zhang Wen's first time to see Du Wenjuan perform. He was shocked by her changes for a moment, and then he was filled with joy.

It is obvious that Du Wenjuan has immersed herself in the role.

He had seen the performances of eight actresses before, and had only seen such a change in one actress, the one who had won the Best Supporting Actress award.

There is also another half, which is the half-step elite. The reason why it is called half is because he has not completely entered the role.

In the next three minutes, Du Wenjuan was sometimes strong, sometimes fragile, sometimes aggressive, and sometimes approachable, portraying the second female lead with different personalities.

The reason why Zhang Wen asked Du Wenjuan to play the second female lead in this drama is not only because she has a lot of important roles, but the most important reason is that the role of the second female lead is outstanding enough. Her multifaceted personality and different contrasts will make the character more vivid and more popular with the audience.

The performance time is always three minutes, but this time the three minutes seem to pass especially quickly.

The show was over before Zhang Wen had seen enough.

Du Wenjuan bowed and walked out of the room silently.

Zhang Wen immediately glanced at Han Xiaohua beside him.

The other person stared at Du Wenjuan's back until the door closed with a "click". Then he withdrew his gaze and finally took a pen and made a check mark on the resume in front of him.

After thinking about it, I wrote another question mark.

At the same time, a question mark popped up in Zhang Wen's mind.

He can understand the check mark, but what does the question mark mean?
The previous eight resumes had either check marks or crosses, but Du Wenjuan's resume was the only one with both check marks and question marks.

"Director Han, what does this question mark mean?" Zhang Wen couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing, I just have a few questions for the actress." Han Xiaohua said after hearing this.

"Is there a problem? She's gone." Zhang Wen reminded.

"It doesn't matter. Isn't there a contact number on the resume?" Han Xiaohua said with a smile, and circled the mobile phone number with a pen.

Call? Ready to call?

Zhang Wen was stunned for a moment, wondering if Lao Deng had any other thoughts about Du Wenjuan?
We are all men, who doesn’t understand who?

To be honest, there were so many actresses who came in for audition just now, and he had ideas about each of them. After all, a gentleman loves a beautiful lady.

But Han Xiaohua had ideas about his people, which forced him to be vigilant.

You should know that Du Wenjuan was unwilling to join the producer's drinking party and unwilling to discuss the script with the director and assistant director late at night. That's why she had such great acting skills but no roles to play.

Director Han, Director Han, although we are all men, please don’t look for my people!
