Volume 1 Entertainment Circle Chapter 42 On-Set Screen Test

  Normally driving to the crew's side, this journey would take at least fifteen minutes, but with a police escort, Tong Qiang's speed soared to over 180 miles per hour to rush for time.

  "Is this driving or racing?" Guan Yao also came over to join Tong Ying, took a look at her Volkswagen speeding by like a bullet, and couldn't help but furrow his brow. Tong Ying's speed was almost 190 kilometers per hour!

  Guan Yao's police car led the way, with four police motorcycles in front and two more at the back of Tong Jing's car. The convoy sped to the film set in broad daylight.

  Off-screen.

  "You drive my car back, and change the license plate of this car to prevent being targeted." Guan Yao handed his own car key to Tong Ying, smiled and took over her car key, urging Tong Ying, "Hurry up and go in."

  "Thank you." Tong Ying nodded, although it was still twenty minutes before eleven thirty, but she still had to put on makeup, so Tong Ying glanced at Guan Yao with gratitude and immediately ran towards the set.

  Under the scorching noon sun, a slender figure ran in the bright light, with scattered black hair dancing behind her like a jumping elf. Guan Yao smiled faintly and withdrew his gaze, glancing at the car key in his hand as he walked towards Tong Liang's car. Ji Yan should get Tong Liang a better-performing car; otherwise, it would be lucky if nothing happened today with such speed.

  Today's trial is the last play of Su Yue, the second female number in "Years of Quiet Goodness". After safely sending away Dongfang Rang, who played the male lead, Su Yue fearlessly faced the Japanese military officer. Because she never revealed any secrets of the Communist Party, Su Yue was shot to death by the Japanese military officer's pistol.

  When Tong Ying arrived, Qian Li was taken aback, never expecting Tong Ying to arrive so early on set. After all, the crew had changed the schedule at short notice, and Qian Li hadn't informed Tong Ying, but rather had deliberately notified her 40 minutes in advance, coinciding with the peak traffic hour when people were leaving work or school, yet Tong Ying appeared mysteriously as if from nowhere.

  "Miss Tong, you should come a bit earlier next time." The makeup artist reminded the newcomer lightly and immediately started doing Tong's makeup. It was a bit rushed, but there was still enough time.

  Under the lamp, Wu Minru took advantage of her relationship to get an opportunity, and she auditioned for the role of Su Yue in her younger years. Wearing a white dress, smiling innocently, under the peach blossom tree in Jiangnan, she was playing with Dongfang Rang, revealing the innocent and playful side of the young lady.

  "Will you really be good to my sister? But everyone says women age quickly, if my sister gets old and you fall in love with another woman, what will happen?" Pouting her lips and tilting her head, Wu Minru scrutinized Dongfang Rang with a skeptical face, not feeling at ease about entrusting her most beloved sister to this refined and elegant man.

  "At that time, I was old too. As long as your sister doesn't despise me, it's fine." With a elegant smile, Junzi Wenrun gently replied to the little girl in front of him, stretching out his hand and lightly removing the peach blossom petals from her hair.

  "OK." Cheng Han thought for a moment and looked at Wu Minru, who had just finished this segment of the audition. Her sweet appearance was just right for Su Yue's character. In this movie, although Su Yue is the second female lead, she is indeed the most difficult character to grasp.

  She gave up going to Hong Kong for refuge when the war broke out, not because of national righteousness, but because she couldn't face Dongfang Rang, a man who had been engaged to her sister since childhood. In the final act, Su Yu sent off Dongfang Rang and was then killed, becoming a traitor.

  She defected to the Japanese because of Dongfang Rang, but she never revealed any secrets until her death. She was just a small woman in the tumultuous years of war, and whether she was right or wrong is for the audience to measure themselves.

  "Get ready, Wu Minru, we're about to rehearse the scene where Su Yue dies." Cheng Han spoke in a coarse voice, then turned around and walked towards the chair, lit a cigarette, and took a strong drag. Under the swirling smoke, no one dared to disturb Director Cheng.
