Continuously twirling the pencil in her hand, Ye Sumeng looked at the tall and slender girl in front of her with some curiosity, and flipped through the materials in her hand again. The name of this girl was Jiang Xin.
To be honest, today's audition was a bit disappointing for Ye Sumang. Those little artists had good-looking faces, but their acting skills were rough and lacked spirituality. It seemed more like imitation than real acting. However, when Jiang Xin came on stage, she caught Ye Sumang's attention with her beautiful appearance, youthful energy, and most importantly, impressive acting skills. Her crying scene in front of the three of them was so convincing that it startled Ye Sumang.
The girl's tears were like a faucet, turning on and off at will.
"Jiang Xin? Hello, may I ask if you have any previous experience in performing ancient costume dramas?" Ye Su Mang put down her pencil and asked curiously.
The girl, having just finished a crying scene, still had some redness in her eyes. When she heard Ye Su Mang's question, she blinked her big eyes and thought for half a day before answering loudly: "I've filmed many ancient costume dramas, the most famous ones are Autumn Chrysanthemum in 'The Empress with Big Feet' and Hong Ye in 'The Unusual Talent of Pang Zhenkun'..."
While the girl was introducing her work, Cai Yinan leaned into Ye Sumang's ear and whispered: "This girl's appearance and acting skills are not bad, it's just her height..."
Ye Su Mang was reminded by Cai Yi Nong, and her gaze immediately swept down to the girl's feet, only to discover that they were actually a pair of sports shoes.
Ye Sumang was indeed surprised at this moment, he had always thought that the girl was wearing high heels.
"Stop, I think that's enough introduction for now. Hmm, may I ask, how tall are you?"
"I? I'm 172 centimeters tall." The girl suddenly lost her previous confidence and spoke in a much softer tone.
"See, I told you she was too tall..." Cai Yinan muttered.
Ye Su Meng also scratched her hair in distress, the girl's appearance and acting skills were excellent, but this height was really a problem. If the girl is so tall, it will put a lot of pressure on the male actor who is acting with her. After all, on screen, if the girl is too tall and the boy is too short, even doing a scene where they are supposed to be intimate would be awkward.
"Why don't we give her another role that doesn't have any male co-stars and try again?" Yao Zhuangxian suggested, Jiang Xin was originally going to play the role of Anu, but it seemed like that wasn't going to work out now.
Looking at the three people's low-voiced discussion, Jiang Xin's heart was also a little nervous. Since entering this industry, her height had always been a major problem for her. Sometimes her performance had already satisfied the director, but in the end, she was still eliminated because of her height.
There have been countless opportunities over the years that were missed because of this point.
And now there is another opportunity in front of her, she is very clear that her previous performance has been approved by the judges in front of her, and now they are discussing topics around her height.
Unconsciously, Jiang Xin's gaze drifted to Ye Sumang sitting on the left. She knew that this boy was the director of this play and had paid the most attention to her just now, so now all her hopes were pinned on Ye Sumang.
"I think being a bit taller is not a big deal, at worst the male actor can just wear something to make him look shorter when acting. This girl's acting skills are very spiritual and she has a wild side to her, I think it's very suitable for Anu!"
"What about Liu Pin-yuan who interviewed before? I think she's also good and her height is more suitable."
Cai Yinnong expressed his own opinion, but Ye Sumang still insisted on his own point of view. He felt that this Jiang Xin was very much in line with his own idea of Anu.
"Director Yao, say something!" Cai Yinnong couldn't bear Ye Sumang's stubbornness and turned to Yao Zhuangxian beside him for help.
"I think this girl is pretty good, since the director is satisfied, let's just listen to him." Although he had doubts about the girl's height, Yao Zhuangxian believed in Ye Sumang's vision, so he stood on Ye Sumang's side without hesitation.
It turned out that Cai Yinan was staring at Yao Zhuangxian with a surprised face, and he didn't expect his plea for help to end up with such a result.
"Whatever, whatever! This role is yours to decide!" Cai Yinniang threw up her hands in despair, clearly leaving it to Ye Sumang to handle.
"Jiang Xin, En..." Ye Su Mang looked at the girl and suddenly said her name, then fell into a moment of contemplation.
Ye Sumang just called out a name, and Jiang Xin's heart was about to jump into his throat. His eyes stared blankly at Ye Sumang's Adam's apple, the girl was extremely anxious, nervously waiting for him to announce the result.
"Congratulations, you have the time to bring your agent to sign the contract now. Also, take a good look at the script, remember that acting skills are my prerequisite for choosing you!" Ye Su Mang didn't drag it out for too long and soon announced the result.
From hell to heaven, the boy's hesitation made Jiang Xin think that the other party was going to say no again, but unexpectedly, this interview turned out to be a lucky success!
"Thank you, director! I'll work hard!" Jiang Xin's heart was excited and grateful as she glanced at Ye Su Mang, seeing the other nodding in appreciation towards her, which made her smile even more. She politely bowed to the three of them and walked out of the room with an excited face.
"Mom, I got another play! This time the role is great! I'll act well, don't worry!"
“……”
"Yes, I will take good care of myself, and when I make some money, I'll also bring you to Kyoto..."
Jiang Xin stepped out of the room and immediately called her mother to share the good news. The content of their conversation made those artists who had not yet auditioned look at her with envy, it was clear that this girl had already successfully landed a role.
"It's really something, someone as mediocre as him can get selected, what is the director thinking?" A small artist muttered in a low voice, although it was soft, but just loud enough for Jiang Xin to hear.
"Hmph!" Jiang Xin glanced at the little artist with disdain, snorted and turned to leave. She had seen this kind of envy, jealousy and hatred many times before. It was a waste of time arguing with such people when she could be reading scripts instead.
Jiang Xin's disdainful expression had already made Xiao Yiren's nose crooked with anger, and after panting heavily for a long time while pointing at Jiang Xin's back, she still couldn't say a word.
Jiang Xin, who had quickly walked out of the main gate, did not leave the building immediately, but instead took out a script from her bag.
This time she auditioned for the role of Anu, also one of the female leads in the original work. She read the script and as the third female lead, Anu's screen time is absolutely not small, and the screenwriter even added a romantic line that can be developed for Anu, which makes this character truly become one of the soul characters that runs through the entire drama.
Thinking of this, Jiang's heart was even more grateful for the young director who had chosen him, without whom he would not have gotten such an excellent role.
At that time, Cai Yinan's opposing voice was heard by Jiang Xin word for word.
"Miss, hello, could you tell me where the interview location for 'The Legend of Sword and Fairy' is?"
Jiang Xin, who was concentrating on the script, was suddenly interrupted by a voice. He looked up to see a beautiful mother and daughter standing in front of him, looking at him with questioning eyes.
What made Jiang Xin's heart feel a little dizzy was that the little girl's temperament seemed like a lonely and elegant orchid in a secluded valley.
She had just read the part of the script where Ling'er comes out of her bath, and suddenly felt that this girl in front of her was just like Zhao Ling'er, vividly appearing before her eyes.
