coronation of stars

Chapter 18 Formal entry into the group (1)
Qiao Yan opened her mouth unconsciously, her eyes filled with unfocused surprise and disbelief.

"Chivalrous Girl"?heroine?
Sitting next to the hospital bed, Mu Ting noticed that she looked strange, and patted the back of her hand calmly. She was shocked by the slap, and Xu Zhen on the other end of the phone didn't speak anymore, probably waiting for her to digest well After reading this fact, it may be that there is nothing to say, and he just waited for her to agree to end the call.Qiao Yan took the phone away from her ear and stared at the screen for a long time until Xu Zhen's voice came from inside again.

"Qiao Yan? Are you still listening?"

"Listening." Qiao Yan took a deep breath, raised the phone again, and tried her best to sound calm, but the abnormal rise and slight tremor in her voice still betrayed the fact that she was not at peace.

"Director Xu, may I ask why you... chose me? During the audition, you were dissatisfied with the state of my second audition, and you didn't let me try the third audition, saying that it was my ability and state at the time. Until the third audition, I thought...thought...by then I would have missed the role?"

"Oh, you still remember what happened that day." After Xu Zhen finished speaking, he collapsed on the other end of the phone and laughed, as if he felt that his emotion was superfluous. The situation that day was really special, and it didn't take long It would be really strange if Qiao Yan said that he forgot.

"You performed very well in the first audition, I was very satisfied, and I expressed my affirmation on the spot, but after the second audition, I suddenly felt that there was no need to try the third audition in your state at that time, do you know the reason? ?”

"...I know." Qiao Yan's eyes dimmed, and she answered in a low voice, "I shouldn't just follow the show just for a moment."

That day, Yang Shuo, as the established male lead, was obviously called to help her with the scene, but he chose to take the lead in deliberately suppressing her scene. I don't know if he deliberately made things difficult or wanted to give her a bad reputation. In short, he blocked her camera during the audition process. She is separated from the plane.She is not a newcomer who has never acted before. After all, she was a little annoyed when Innocent was suppressed. In the second audition, she also deliberately suppressed Yang Shuo's role.

In fact, seriously, her methods are much more magnanimous than Yang Shuo's, and it can be regarded as giving Yang Shuo room to play, not to suppress, but after the audition, Xu Zhen just gave her a meaningful look, and then announced her This concludes the audition for .

For such a result, she did not vent her anger on Yang Shuo, but considered herself unlucky.No one stipulates that when facing her, she must be treated fairly and justly. This circle is always harming others and benefiting oneself. Yang Shuoyin's methods are not uncommon. It is not even a loss of the demeanor of the seniors when she speaks out. It is just a simple lesson for the younger generation. .Because of this, she more or less had the idea that she was not suitable for this circle, but under the enlightenment of Mu Ting, she had already seen it off a lot. If this opportunity is gone, there will always be a next time. If she thinks about it carefully, if she is given another chance, she may not They will choose to swallow their breath.

Therefore, she felt sorry for such a result, but she did not regret it.But in the face of Xu Zhen's questioning, no matter how much she thought in her mind, she could only put away all her thoughts and apologize honestly and sincerely.

She doesn't regret the missed opportunity, but if one day this opportunity appears in front of her again, if she doesn't work hard to get it, she will definitely regret it.

However, Xu Zhen smiled and sighed.

"You're mistaken, Qiao Yan, I'm not mad at you for suppressing the show." Xu Zhen said to her, his voice was earnest, "I'm just mad at you for wanting to fight for your time, but you don't have the ability to finish the fight." Beautifully acted."

"You don't call it suppressing the show, it's called grabbing the show, harming others and benefiting oneself, the whole atmosphere is not right. Are Yu Jinshan and Jiang Shao enemies? No. Are you and Yang Shuo enemies? It doesn't count. That's it You are still not sure about the inside and outside of the play. And what about Yang Shuo? Think back to his play that day. It was true that he suppressed your play, but Jiang Shao’s feeling for Yu Jinshan, did he act wrong? ?”

Qiao Yan thought for a while, but didn't speak.

"Why, are you still not convinced?" Being so stubborn is not a good thing, Xu Zhen was angry and funny on the other end of the phone.

"... Director Xu said I am convinced." Qiao Yan hesitated for a moment, then replied in a low voice, "But it is too much to say that Senior Yang Shuo's performance is perfect. I still think it’s a little inconsistent. It may be that my understanding of Jiang Shao is not the same as his. I think Jiang Shao’s attitude towards Yu Jinshan at that time was not as careless as he acted. It may be suitable in terms of character, but ..."

Qiao Yan hesitated for a moment, muttered a few words to herself, and carefully analyzed Xu Zhen on the other end of the phone.

"I don't know the script behind it, and I don't know what will happen before and after they get married, but I always feel that Yu Jinshan is the character that if you are ruthless, I will quit. If Jiang Shao just uses the Yu family until they get married If it's with Yu Jinshan...the actor's position is here, so it's time for a change, right?"

After a moment of silence on Xu Zhen's side, he suddenly laughed out loud.

"Qiao Yan, Qiao Yan, that's why I tried a lot of actresses after that, and finally I went back and chose you." Xu Zhen sighed with a smile, "There is nothing wrong with Yang Shuo's acting like that, I gave it to him. The script is like that. They really didn't have much intersection before they got married. Jiang Shao might have been tempted by Yu Jinshan when he revealed his identity, but it was far from the level of Shangxin. Yang Shuo acted like that at the time, there was no problem. But after I revised the script again and added an episode before their marriage. After adding it, his acting at that time seemed indifferent. I don't know if you thought of this detail because you didn't deal with him, but since you Thinking about it, I have to admit, this is your skill."

"Among the actresses I auditioned for, your acting skills are not the best. Your performance against Yang Shuo was the worst. You left before the third audition, but you have one advantage that others can't replace, and you can't surpass it. No."

"When you act, you have your own brain, your own ideas, your own interpretations, and your own supplements. Maybe some aspects of your acting skills and demeanor still need to be honed, but you will be able to achieve these one day. For now, my The most succinct script style requires you, the best actor who can supplement and sublimate."

"Join the group in half a month, that's the deal."

Xu Zhen is not a procrastination person, he hung up the phone after speaking vigorously.Qiao Yan sat in the same place and stared blankly for a while, then turned her head to look at Mu Ting, and blinked slowly.

"This is my first audition for a leading actress."

"Cool." The corners of Mu Ting's lips curled up, and he clapped his hands in a strange manner, "Try the male lead first, and then the female lead, the gender is erratic, and the young and old can kill, it's amazing."

As if some kind of switch had been poked by these words, Qiao Yan's nose was sore, and she finally smiled.

More than four years ago, she was a rookie actor who plunged into the film and television city without knowing how deep she was. She didn't have an agency, and she didn't have any advice from her seniors. After more than a year, the money earned in a day is sometimes not enough for the day's travel expenses and food expenses.

More than four months ago, she was the actor with the least number of NGs in Zhang Jian's crew, but she could only sit in the corner forever, knowing that it is not a good thing to stand out, and an important scene will use all the following In the exchange of roles, those who have no conflict of interest have to stand in the way to prevent her from showing up.

More than a month ago, she missed Duan Qiurong, the heroine of Cao Rui's new play "The Ranger of the End of the World", which had already been basically finalized. .

More than half a month ago, she faced Xu Zhen, who had given her two rejections, and auditioned for Yu Jinshan, the heroine of his new play "Chivalrous Daughter". He deliberately made things difficult for his play partner and accepted an undoubted and tragic failure.

However, the saying that opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared is true. After three years of hard work, she was finally signed by Kaixing. Being robbed of the role in "The Ranger" gave her the opportunity to meet Gu Chengze, and her understanding and hard work for "The Chivalrous Girl" was finally recognized, allowing her to seize this lost opportunity and get the first in her career. A leading lady role.

What should come will always come.

And in order to welcome that day, we have to work hard, we have to wait, we have to believe that persistence will be favored in the end, and fate has its own arrangements.

Xu Zhen's new play has received a lot of attention.

He is a well-known director himself. He started out with martial arts films. Now he has returned to the banner of martial arts dramas after many years. It is still rare to lay the main line with female characters as the core, which naturally arouses a wave of attention.And what's interesting is that Xu Zhen's martial arts film is not the only one that will be launched in the next year, and the filming schedule and subject matter with him also happens to be a well-known director.

Cao Rui and his "The End of the World".

Although one is a martial arts hero and the other is a martial arts heroine, the genres are not exactly the same, but Jianghu TV dramas are by no means a popular subject. The two well-known directors collided in such a coincident shooting cycle, whether it was intentional or not, have attracted widespread public attention.

It is a common practice in the film and television industry to release part of the cast list before the opening ceremony of TV dramas. It is also because the public is most concerned about the ownership of important characters. This secret can't be kept for too long. Someone always leaks the list from various channels. It's better to be honest and announce yourself.The cast list of the two dramas was announced before and after, and the topic was heated to a new height for a while.

Cao Rui's "The Ranger of the End of the World" has a normal lineup, handsome men and beautiful women, Fengchen's first brother Wei Ze leads the starring role, and plays opposite the company's strongest newcomer Yao Manxin. A happy and relaxing scene on the platform.

And Xu Zhen's "Chivalrous Girl"...

It is enough to surprise the public with Yang Shuo, the topical character who is a hot topic, but Yang Shuo is also the second brother of Xuan Ting, and his acting skills are also widely recognized. It is acceptable to play this drama, but the heroine Qiao Yan... …

Who is Qiao Yan?

This newcomer who seemed to appear out of nowhere immediately attracted the attention of all parties. After searching the name on Baidu, everyone was surprised to find that this is not a newcomer. There is a long list of dramas he has acted in, but they have all seen it. The role that most audiences don’t necessarily remember, no one remembers what she looks like at all, and the curious discussion and ridicule of her are overwhelming at the moment, Qiao Xue spends a lot of time every day searching for Qiao Yan’s keywords and swiping the web, often slapping the table in anger .

Qiao Yan herself didn't pay much attention to these things. After Xu Zhen sent her the script, she has been reading it and hasn't been out much.After the list was released, she remained silent, and the public's curiosity about her reached its peak for a while.However, no one could have imagined that this little transparent actor, who seemed to have been born out of nowhere, officially appeared in front of the public for the first time after the release of the list.

At the press conference of Mu Ting's new album MV.

The press conference was scheduled for the end of February, and it was a sunny weekend just after a few days of light snowfall last night.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month has not yet passed, and there is still a little joy of the New Year everywhere. The students have not started school yet, and the working party has ended the first week of work and ushered in a short break.This is the first time after the new year and the best promotion time in the past month. A few days ago, Cao Rui and Xu Zhen both announced the list of actors. The release date was postponed for a week. This week, Mu Ting's new album release was a standout during this prime time period. It made headlines on the front pages of all entertainment media and was highly discussed on social platforms.

The outer corridor of the press conference has been filled with flower baskets and banners sent by friends and colleagues. Fans have already entered the arena with support banners and poster lights in advance. Danzhu Chijiang is so enthusiastic and arrogant.Qiao Yan was putting on her makeup in the backstage dressing room, and was lifting a curtain on the second floor to look down, when someone patted her shoulder from behind suddenly, she was startled and turned around, and found that Mu Ting was following her line of sight towards the building. Look down.

"What are you looking at?" He looked around and found nothing unusual, then turned his head and asked Qiao Yan suspiciously.

"No, I just feel that there are a lot of people here. It seems to be the most crowded press conference I have ever seen. Take a second look." The fans below arranged the banners and lights in an orderly manner with the assistance of the staff. Joe Yan pointed to the crowded direction, "They are really disciplined, and your fans are very good."

"There must be a lot of people here, because I'm very popular." Mu Ting replied solemnly, and then patrolled his own territory below with an expression of "Of course my fans are not objective."This person really doesn't know how to write the word self-modesty at all, Qiao Yan thought a little funny, but saw Mu Ting looked at the following for a while, then turned to look at her.

"I took a look at the comments on the Internet," he said, his tone was a little subtle, and it was not a big deal to watch the excitement. "You have been black and red in recent days."

"I'm not popular yet, and those aren't considered black." Qiao Yan shrugged and replied calmly.Her mentality is correct. Before the work comes out, everything is false. The current remarks have no foundation. It is too early to talk about being suppressed or salted fish turning over. Mu Ting was noncommittal to her answer, just provoking one side eyebrows, asked her with great interest.

"Then what route are you going to take today, continue to be cold or be close to the people?"

"Why should I kiss your people?" Qiao Yan laughed, and raised his palms together, making a gesture of begging for mercy, "I just want to take a vigorous and simple way of making soy sauce, the prince please let me go... this will be done soon It's about to start, why don't you go to the host to go through the press conference process again?"

"Cut, you still despise me." Mu Ting felt quite uncomfortable, and condemned Qiao Yan with his eyes, then lowered his head to look at the time, and found that it was indeed almost time to start, so he left where Qiao Yan was standing, and walked Go to other people's dressing rooms and kick the door room by room, "It's time! Brothers, copy guys, follow me!"

"Okay!" Responses came from every room soon, and under Qiao Yan's astonished gaze, other people in the studio came out with their own instruments—drummer Li Xiao didn't need to bring his own instruments, the drum set was his own. Someone was responsible for transporting it to the stage, and right now he was walking beside Mu Ting with ease, busy laughing at other people who were carrying instruments.

"..." Qiao Yan was startled by this uncharacteristically heroic style of painting, "Have you discussed with the host about playing like this? Isn't the host warming up the scene for a while before you go up?" She asked just as she walked by her Shang Chen next to him.

"What host?" Shang Chen was taken aback by her question, then figured out the key point, and smiled at Qiao Yan showing his white teeth.

"Qiao Yan, you still don't know enough about our brother Mu. He can almost figure out how many kinds of evaluations you have on the Internet now." He said to Qiao Yan earnestly, and then gave her a thumbs up enthusiastically. , "Great job! Keep going like this! I'm going to laugh at him now to make things difficult for him, and I'll explain it to you when I come back!"

"..." Qiao Yan looked inexplicably at Shang Chen happily chasing after Mu Ting. As expected, she sighed a little and silently took out her phone.

By the time she found the answer, the press conference had already officially started.

Mu Ting's studio is not a formal band. Strictly speaking, only Mu Ting is the artist who made his debut, and the others are all behind-the-scenes workers. However, since Mu Ting also participates in the song creation, the division of labor in this studio is not clear. Not very clear, occasionally a few people can act as Mu Ting's chorus during the live live.In addition, several people are young people in their early twenties, and their looks are above the passing line. They are not as arrogant and eye-catching as Mu Ting, but the picture of several people standing together is still very popular with Mu Ting's fans. Then there was warm cheers and applause.
