Chapter 20: Accompanying Sparring Partner

  So Wang Wei asked about the actors who had been notified for the audition, but the answer was that the script had already been shown to director Song Cun Tao last night, and the question of the actors would have to wait for Song Cun Tao's decision.

  The next day, when Wang Wei and Lin Fengjiao arrived at the Giant Star Company, Director Song Cuntau was also there. When Wang Wei and Lin Fengjiao, who was wearing a white dress, entered, Qiong Yao was discussing the characters' personalities with Song Cuntau. Suddenly seeing Wang Wei bring in a young girl, they were both stunned for a moment.

  Then he was attracted by Lin Fengjiao, who was wearing a white long dress. It was Wang Wei's existence that was ignored on the other side. The two of them looked at Lin Fengjiao, who was wearing a white long dress, and their eyes suddenly lit up. Then, a thought flashed through their minds at the same time - wasn't this Zhang Hanyan? Song Cunshou turned his head to smile at Qiong Yao beside him: "A Zhe, I was just thinking about who would be suitable for the role of Zhang Hanyan. Unexpectedly, heaven sent one down in the blink of an eye."

  After listening to Song Cunshou's half-joking words, Qiong Yao nodded in agreement and said: "I also feel that it's very suitable. Especially the kind of confident yet slightly melancholic temperament, it really is too similar." After finishing speaking, Qiong Yao smiled at Wang Wei and said: "Ah Wei, did you already plan out the main character's selection when you were writing the script?"

  Wang Wei waved his hand repeatedly after hearing Qiong Yao's words, saying: "Qiong Jie, you're thinking too much, I don't have the ability to tailor-make scripts for people, and I'm not Zhuge Liang either."

  "Is Zhuge a monster?" "It's just Zhuge Liang, he can calculate 500 years ahead and 500 years behind, it's not a monster, how can a person be that smart?" Wang Wei explained with a serious face. Qiong Yao on the side was laughing so hard at Wang Wei's humorous way of speaking, "Haha, Ah Wei you're too funny, I think you're the one who's a little monster. You can write scripts at 14 and they're still so professional."

  Song Cunshou on the other side heard Qiong Yao's conversation with Wang Wei and knew that Wang Wei was the screenwriter of the courtyard. Originally, when Qiong Yao gave him the script two days ago, she said that the screenwriter was a boy who was not yet fourteen years old. At that time, he didn't believe it. A fourteen-year-old boy? Can write such a professional script, and also direct the script, what's strange about that?

  But today, seeing Wang Wei himself, he realized that Qiong Yao didn't deceive him. This made Song Cunshou both surprised and more curious about Wang Wei at the same time.

  "Hello, Mr. Wang, I am Song Cunshou, the director of Courtyard Deep." Song Cunshou stepped forward to greet him, "Hello, Teacher Song." Wang Wei smiled and shook hands with Song Cunshou, who felt a surge of goodwill towards Wang Wei when he called him "Teacher". A brilliant and talented young man, yet humble and modest. How could one not have a good impression of him?

  "Since you call me Teacher Song, then I'll take the liberty of calling you Wei for short." "Mm, Teacher Song likes to be called whatever he wants." Wang Wei smiled and nodded.

  "Ah Wei, Ah Qiao just told me about your request. As the screenwriter of this film, being my assistant is more than enough. It's just that being a director's assistant is a relatively tough job, I don't know if you...". Before Song Cunshou could finish speaking, Wang Wei interrupted him: "Teacher Song, don't worry about this matter, I can definitely endure hardship and work hard."

  Wang Wei said very seriously, Song Cunshou nodded and said: "That's good."

  After finishing, Wang Wei pulled Lin Fengjiao to introduce her to Qiong Yao and Song Cunshou: "This is Director Song, this is Jie sister." "Jie sister, Teacher Song, this is Ah Jiao."

  "Song Dao is good, Zuo Jie is good." Lin Fengjiao smiled and greeted the two.

  "You're Lin Fengjiao, right? Yesterday, that kid Wei told me to let you audition. I was still hesitant, but after seeing you today, I found that you really resemble the female lead Zhang Hanyan from 'The Deep Courtyard'. So, Director Song and I decided to have you try out for this role first." Qiong Yao said with a smile to Lin Fengjiao.

  "Yes, Miss Lin. As soon as I saw you, I felt that you were tailor-made for the heroine of this play." Song Cunshou added on the side.

  Lin Fengjiao felt extremely happy after hearing Song Cunshou and Qiong Yao's words. Just now on the road, Lin Fengjiao was worried that if Qiong Yao felt she wasn't suitable for the female lead role in the film, what would happen? Moreover, she had never acted in a play before, so if Qiong Yao asked her to act out a scene, she wouldn't know how to do it, and all sorts of worries.

  That day, watching Teresa Teng go to Hong Kong to film, Lin Fengjiao although didn't show anything on her face, but in her heart was extremely envious. Especially when seeing Wang Wei continuously achieving success, while she herself still couldn't do anything like before. Lin Fengjiao felt a deep sense of inferiority. Feeling that she wasn't worthy of Wang Wei.

  So at this time, Lin Fengjiao heard Qiong Yao and Song Cunshou say that her temperament is very similar to the heroine in the play, giving herself a chance to audition. She felt like she was dreaming. It took half a day to react. Hurriedly thanked the two, "Thank you, Sister Qiong, thank you, Director Song."

  When Lin Fengjiao thanked herself, Qiong Yao smiled and said: "Ah Jiao, it's still early to thank you now. We haven't confirmed whether we'll use you as the heroine in the play yet. It won't be too late to thank you after passing the screen test."

  "Qiao Jie, I will work hard." Lin Fengjiao said with a serious face. Seeing Lin Fengjiao's serious expression, Qiong Yao nodded and said: "En, but don't be too nervous, with your conditions, as long as you carefully read the script several times, and think about the emotional changes of the characters in the play, I believe you will definitely get this role." Saying this, Qiong Yao glanced at Wang Wei beside Lin Fengjiao and said: "The most important thing is to find someone to practice with, I think Ah Wei is a very good practice partner. After all, he is the screenwriter of this play." Saying this, Qiong Yao winked at Wang Wei on the side.

  When Qiong Yao said to let herself accompany Lin Fengjiao in acting as an opponent, Wang Wei smiled bitterly and said: "Qiong sister, you really look up to me, thinking I'm a versatile person who can do anything."

  Qiong Yao smiled and said, "You're wrong, I only asked you to compensate Ah Jiao for practicing the play, but I didn't ask you to act in it. What's the hurry?"

  On the other side, Song Cunshou also chimed in, "Yes, Ah Wei, I think you'd make a great sparring partner for Ah Jiao. After all, as a screenwriter, you're familiar with characters' emotional changes."

  As soon as Song Cunshou finished speaking, Wang Wei saw Lin Fengjiao looking at him with a face full of expectation. So he said helplessly: "Okay, I'll accompany Fengjiao to practice the opponent's lines." At this time, Wang Wei's mind flashed back to the scene of accompanying Lin Fengjiao to practice singing a few months ago, it seems that in the following days, he will be miserable.
