Chapter 694: The cannon fodder actress who ensnares the heroine to death (37)
The next second, Lu Huan's voice came from inside.
"...Don't waste your time... Not just anyone can come here to join in the fun..."
Playback ends.
There was dead silence in the entire lounge.
Jiang Lai looked at Lu Huan.
"You said this, right? You should have said it earlier. I would have spent less on two air tickets."
The other actresses who were waiting for the results after the audition looked at Lu Huan with complicated eyes.
One of them stood up suddenly and said something coldly.
"People with backgrounds are really good. Such a big production can be hired without permission. I thought the environment here would be better than at home. But now it seems like it's just a waste of time."
After saying that, she stared at Lu Huan twice, and then left dissatisfied.
Not long after, two more people got up and left.
When Lu Huan was about to say something, her mother had already grabbed her.
As her manager and mother, Mother Deer speaks more bluntly.
"Ms. Jiang, don't bring the conflicts in the variety show into reality. We may still have a cooperative relationship in the future. Let's stay on the sidelines today so that we can meet each other in the future. Don't ruin your bright future just because you are young and energetic."
"Are you threatening me?"
Jiang Lai's cold words immediately put a shrewd and sophisticated person like Mother Lu out of control.
"How can I be a threat? It's just an elder's suggestion."
"The elder who gave me the most advice before has passed away early. I live a long time because she never gives me any advice."
"伱!!"
"Auntie, be quiet and save some face for your daughter in public."
After saying that, Jiang Lai changed positions directly, looking like he didn't want to continue communicating with you. The angry Mother Deer stood there and stared.
She has never suffered such a verbal defeat before!
"Mom, you're sure it's me, right? There won't be any surprises, right?"
Compared with Jiang Lai, Lu Huan still cares more about his own future.
Mother Deer nodded.
"Don't worry, I've already taken care of it. Just perform as usual in the second round of auditions. Do you remember everything I told you?"
Lu Huan was a little hesitant when he heard this.
"Well...that's almost it."
"What do you mean almost?! You must, you must remember it! I have already told you the standard answer and if you still can't remember it, even the gods can't save you!"
Lu Huan was a little nervous, but when he turned his head, he felt that his mother was making too much fuss.
The role has been decided, and she has almost memorized the standard answers. When the time comes, she can just tell the director directly. There is nothing to worry about such a certain thing.
"Mom, don't worry, the role must be mine."
"You'd better not let anything happen to me!"
We had something to eat briefly at noon, and at around one o'clock in the afternoon, the list of second faces was announced. Jiang Lai's name was on the list, and it was at the front.
Lu Huan's name is also on it, positioned a little further forward.
In the end, there were fifteen candidate actresses left, many of whom were quite popular domestic actresses.
They discussed quietly in the room what the order of the names on the list meant.
Everyone is speculating that it may be a result of one side.
Jiang Lai sat on the sofa and felt the feeling of interviewing when looking for a job for the first time in a long time.
At the beginning of the second session, everyone walked into a temporary set set up for the interview.
After the interview, they would not leave, but would directly find a seat inside to sit down and watch the interviews of other actors.
The agent couldn't follow him, so he asked Jiang to come.
"Don't be nervous, just be normal. If you choose the best one, it won't be embarrassing if you don't."
With so many strong opponents, it doesn’t matter if we lose.
"Yeah, I know. I'm mainly here to travel, and the interview is just a side event."
Jiang Lai's good attitude made her agent start to worry again, whether she knew what role she was going to interview for.
This is the first time that this globally popular hero movie series has openly recruited domestic actresses, and many of them were not even qualified for the first interview.
Jiang Lai was already on the second side. Others were very nervous, but she was better off. She slept better than anyone else at noon. If her manager hadn't yelled, she would have slept until the end of the second side.
"Forget it, just figure it out yourself."
There's not much hope anyway, just try it to gain experience.
The temporary set was very large, obviously simulating the chaotic scenes on the streets of New York. Model cars were stumbling and crashing into each other. The high-rise buildings next to it were displayed on a large screen, and under the screen was a podium.
When Jiang Lai saw this, he heard what Little Pudding said.
"The plot here is imitated from the comic book. The scene where the president is attacked during his speech. The superhero and the heroine don't get to know each other here.
The heroine's lines here are very long. During the audition, you will probably be randomly selected to perform one of her lines.
This places particularly high demands on actors’ lines. ”
After speaking, Little Pudding showed Jiang Lai all the lines in this paragraph.
If printed in size 5 English font on an A4 paper, there would be almost six pages.
Moreover, there are always large sections of English lines, and there are a lot of unfamiliar English.
After glancing over, Little Pudding sighed.
"Forget it, before you get here, watch as much as you can. This kind of interview is for Chinese actors.
Lu Huan is Asian and has immigrated to the United States since he was a child. He is good at English and knows the lines in advance.
Based on her lines alone, there is no way other actors can match her.
Not to mention she knew what she was going to play in advance. ”
When Little Pudding said this, he noticed that Jiang Lai didn't listen to what he was saying at all. He just closed his eyes silently, not knowing what he was doing.
"Forget it, if you're not in a hurry, why should I be in a hurry?"
It has nothing to do with the mission, and Jiang Lai probably doesn't want to waste more time on it.
At this time, the script book was handed out.
Each person has one copy, a thick stack in his hand.
"Please start memorizing your lines now. I will take away the line books in half an hour and the interview will officially begin."
After getting the script book, Lu Huan looked back at Jiang Lai.
Seeing her looking at the book in her hand expressionlessly, she couldn't help but smile.
Jiang Lai loves to curl up, so I will give her a chance to curl up well this time.
See if she can memorize all these contents within thirty minutes.
Lu Huan couldn't help but feel excited at the thought of this completely impossible thing.
Her mother spent a lot of effort to get the lines from the casting director and asked her to start memorizing them half a month in advance.
Even though she has lived in the United States since she was a child and speaks English better than Chinese, she can hardly recite these pages of lines.
The most important thing is not only to be able to memorize it, but also to maintain full emotion when performing.
At this level of difficulty, the other actors basically just run with you.
Lu Huan glanced at it for a few times, then closed the script book after about fifteen minutes and raised his hand.
"Hello, I've almost read it, can you start first?" (End of Chapter)
