Protagonist and supporting character

  In this courtyard, the toilet and bathroom facilities are shared. In a corner of the yard, in front of the only public toilet, a long queue had formed early in the morning. The girls were mostly wearing cool clothes, thin shoulder straps, suspenders, shorts, vest, lace-trimmed pajamas, looking very pleasant to the eyes.

  Mei Yu held the toiletries and face wash in her hand, with a towel draped over her arm, following behind Han Jiali. Han Jiali occasionally tiptoed to look at the queue moving forward bit by bit, and couldn't help but turn around, complaining in a low voice: "It must be Xiao Pangzi from the east house inside, always constipated, getting up earlier than others every day, really helpless."

  The plum rain pattered, and after a while, sure enough, a plump girl came out of the bathroom with her butt twisted, her thin nightgown barely covering her chest. She walked to Han Jiali's side, intentionally raising her hips and pursing her lips, making a classic Marilyn Monroe-like gesture of holding down her skirt.

  Han Jiali was so amused by her that she couldn't help but cry and laugh, raising her hand as if to hit her. The girl let out a string of silvery laughter and ran away happily.

  Mei Yu smiled as she watched their playful fight, it seemed that Han Jiali and that girl were old friends.

  After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, it was finally Mei Yu's turn. In this simple toilet and bathroom facility, on one side was the public toilet, and on the other side was a washbasin. Han Jiali was squatting in the toilet stall, chatting with Mei Yu in a desultory manner through the door.

  Yesterday, the bed was made and several girls slept. This morning, I learned from Han Jiali that Qin Rong is a pianist in a band and rushed to practice early this morning. Tonight, there will be a performance at the famous Fallen Angel Bar.

  Mei Yu swallowed a mouthful of water, spat out the toothpaste foam in her mouth, and answered Han Jiali's previous question: "Ning sister introduced me to an extra role, I went for a screen test today."

  Han Jiali let out a weak moan, and Mei Yu, who had finished washing up, looked at the still closed toilet door and asked tentatively: "Are you constipated?"

  A loud roar came from inside the door, and Mei Yu ran out laughing. No wonder Han Jiali was so hostile to that girl, even calling her "Little Fatty". It turned out they were birds of a feather.

  Mei Yu went back to her room, tidied up a bit and then went out. According to the business card Ning Jie gave her yesterday, she found a convenience store and made a call using a payphone. The other party picked up quickly, Mei Yu explained the situation in a few words, but the other party was very impatient and only said an address, telling her to go there herself before hanging up the phone with a "click".

  Mei Yu furrowed her brow as she looked at the microphone, it seemed that this extra was indeed dispensable. In the past, even when she often played supporting roles and interacted with producers and directors, they were always polite to her, after all, an experienced and skilled supporting actor was harder to find than a vase-like leading actor.

  Mei Yu sat on the bus, looking at the crowded people outside, and began to ponder the role she was going to play. This film mainly tells the story of Emperor Wu of Han and his concubines' entanglements. He and his cousin Chen Ajiao were childhood sweethearts, but later fell out and he transferred his affections to Wei Zifu. Chen Ajiao, in order to regain Emperor Wu's favor, sent her personal maid, a woman surnamed Wang, to present herself to the emperor. The maid indeed caught the emperor's eye.

  After this maid became Queen, she did not speak for Chen A'jiao, which led to Chen A'jiao's resentment. When another maid, Xiao Qian, proposed to speak up for her, she was flatly rejected and suffered a severe beating, eventually dying from her injuries.

  The role Meiyu is going to play is Xia Qian.

  Xiao Qian, this character, has a somewhat tragic color. According to the script, she is devoted to her master and ultimately dies at his hands. Therefore, it is necessary to highlight the loyalty and gentleness of this palace maid in the performance, so that when she dies, it can evoke resonance from the audience.

  When Mei Yu got off the car, she had her own understanding of this role and was convinced that she could portray the little palace maid Qian very well.

  Unfortunately, a supporting character is just that. The life of this palace maid named Xiao Qian was quite dramatic, but as the main supporting character, she only appeared in one short episode. At other times, she was just part of the background, quietly accompanying the main character Chen A Jiao.

  Mei Yu pulled down the hem of her T-shirt, which she had borrowed from Han Jiali that morning. Han Jiali was actually half a head shorter than Mei Yu, and the shirt was a bit short on her body. If she wasn't careful, it would reveal a slender waistline, making her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

  Today is just a simple audition, the TV series has not officially started filming yet. When filming starts, the actors, creators, directors, producers and other staff will hold an opening ceremony together, and also invite a feng shui master to calculate the auspicious day and position.

  Since it's a costume drama, it's probably one of the surrounding film and television cities. Mei Yu muttered to herself as she took the elevator, following the instructions given over the phone, directly going up to the 24th floor.

  The elevator stopped, and the doors slowly opened. A bright red figure rushed out of the corridor. Mei Yu quickly dodged to the side, and someone behind her panted and shouted: "Stop her, stop her."

  She pretended to be silly and confused, but she was unfamiliar with the place, yet she got into a bloody mess.

  The people chasing behind finally pulled the girl out of the elevator before it closed, and then deliberately or unintentionally glared at Mei Yu. Mei Yu smiled back at him, shrugged her shoulders, and looked innocent.

  The person chasing after her was a young man of medium build, with a tag hanging from his neck that read "stagehand", and he looked like a crew member. He was sweating profusely as he begged: "Miss, please just wait a little while longer."

  The woman in red, being chased, had a delicate face and was good at makeup. Her face was finely decorated, looking like a high-quality doll. She stomped her foot, furrowed her brow, and said bluntly: "Li Changwu, isn't this just an extra role? Why do I have to pair up with a maid for the screen test?! Don't I also have the self-respect of being the lead actress?"

  The plum rain has brought out its flavor, it turns out that this is the arrogant and domineering Chen Ajiao!

  He glanced at Mei Yu, probably thinking she wasn't a threat, and lowered his voice to explain to Chen A Jiao: "You don't know what kind of temper our director has? This is specially invited back by Director Wan, if it weren't for being buddies with Director Wan, would he come to direct such a script? Just cooperate a bit, okay?"

  Mei Yu awkwardly coughed, attracting the attention of the scene and the red-clothed girl. She slightly raised her hand and weakly explained herself: "I'm probably that maid..."

  With a sudden movement, the red-clothed girl's attention was drawn over, she raised an eyebrow, looked Mei Yu up and down, hummed softly, swayed her hips as she walked back, and a sharp voice echoed in the corridor: "Li Changwu, aren't you supposed to be trying on mirrors? Why are you still dawdling?"
