Two days later, Jiang Mu went to the agreed location for the audition.
Lu Ran had said before that there were only five people coming to audition, but when she arrived there she found out that there were at least ten people vying for the role, and several of them were actresses Jiang Mu knew.
Their acting skills and abilities are both good, but their fame is a little lacking.
She looked around and saw Lin Chuchu. When they looked at each other, Lin Chuchu's eyes looked a little strange.
Jiang Mu smiled faintly at her, and that gesture made Lin Chuchu very uncomfortable. It seemed that in front of Jiang Mu, she had become the stand-in again, without even a frontal shot of her face. She had always lived under the shadow of others, and no one cared about her.
Lin Chuchu already knew that Jiang Mu's new agent was Lu Ran.
She was surprised and a little unwilling at the same time.
She thought she had made it and would be able to hold Jiang Mu in high esteem in the future. However, Jiang Mu followed Lu Ran and was aiming to become a top actress in the future. Unlike her, she could only rely on Qin Che's popularity to get recognized.
Today, the two of them were competing for a role. Lin Chuchu's mood was even more complicated. Her competitive spirit was surprisingly strong at the moment. She really wanted to beat Jiang Mu and get the role.
…..
Jiang Mu looked down at the script. The assistant director had just told them the next scene they would be performing in the audition.
She was the third one in line. Everyone went in for the audition individually, so she didn't know how the others performed.
But Jiang Mu noticed that the first few actresses who went in were all smiling when they came out, and they didn't seem nervous at all.
Jiang Mu's mind flashed through the scenes she imagined in the script. She tried to put herself into the role and feel the character's emotions. To be honest, she was excited and looking forward to the upcoming audition.
She really liked the script of "Falling" and told Guo Qiyue that she had read it several times. This statement was not false. Although there was an element of deliberate flattery to Guo Qiyue, it was also 60% sincere.
The movie "Falling" has one thing in common with "The Color of the Sun", both of them tell the story of a man and a woman redeeming each other .
There is a tragic quality to both the hero and heroine.
But the main difference is that the hero in "The Color of the Sun" has unrequited love for the heroine from beginning to end. Even if he dies for the heroine, the heroine still has no love for him in the end.
But "Falling" is different. The love expressed in "Falling" is more beautiful, more passionate and crazy.
Of course, there are more descriptions about sex, which means that there will be more intimate shots during the filming.
The plot they are going to audition today is the first meeting between the male and female protagonists.
The protagonist is a rich kid. Half of the entire Lincheng city is his family's property. He is the only heir to the family, but he is seriously ill and can only sit in a wheelchair.
He had a serious illness when he was young and the doctor said he would not live past the age of twenty-five.
Now he is twenty-two years old and has only a few years left to live. His family has arranged a marriage for him and they plan to get him married next spring.
His fiancée's family has fallen into poverty. Although she is unwilling to marry the male protagonist, she carries the hopes of the entire family. If she marries the male protagonist, their family will get the male protagonist's help, otherwise they will not be able to pay off the debt and even she may be sold.
The heroine is a servant given to the hero by his fiancée's family.
The protagonist is physically disabled and needs several servants to serve him personally, but he has a weird temper and the servants he finds usually don't stay with him for more than ten days or half a month before he drives them away out of disgust.
Over the years, countless servants have been replaced. This time, the butler had no choice but to find a few for him to look at, but he was not satisfied with any of them. The news reached his fiancée's family, so the heroine was sent here.
The audition clip is here.
…..
After entering, Jiang Mu saw that there were only four people in the room, one was Director Guo Qiyue, one was Xu Cheng, and the other two people Jiang Mu had never seen before.
Xu Cheng was sitting in a wheelchair, the others were sitting on chairs in the corner, and there were several cameras pointing in Xu Cheng's direction.
When he met Jiang Mu, Guo Qi Yue's attitude was quite friendly. He had not forgotten Jiang Mu. Jiang Mu left a very good impression on him that day. Seeing her name on the audition list today, Guo Qi Yue was looking forward to seeing her performance.
Guo Qiyue said to Xu Cheng: "You guys saw her last time, do you remember?"
Xu Cheng nodded, "I know."
Xu Cheng was still the same, looking listless and a little dull. Only when he looked at Jiang Mu did his eyes glitter with a little starlight. He changed his hairstyle again, probably for this movie. He now looked like a noble young man from a wealthy family.
But it doesn't match his temperament.
He sat in a wheelchair like a big sick child.
Jiang Mu looked at him a few more times, and his eyes were a little evasive.
Guo Qiyue looked at Jiang Mu again, "Next, Xu Cheng will act out the scene where you first met. Is the line okay? Have you memorized it?"
This sentence may seem understated, but it is actually the first step in assessing Jiang Mu.
Guo Qiyue has very high requirements. Not only does his film not use a stand-in, it also does not require dubbing. Basically, the actors' original voices are used. Moreover, there are only a few sentences in this section. If you can't remember them, you will lose points.
Jiang Mu smiled and said, "Yeah, sure."
"Then let's get started."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Mu immediately felt that Xu Cheng's aura had changed.
He was a harmless and naive boy just now, but now his expression and aura became gloomy and cold.
Jiang Mu stood in front of him, like a commodity being examined.
Xu Cheng's cold eyes fell on her, sending chills down her spine.
Jiang Mu was secretly surprised. It turned out that Guo Qiyue was not exaggerating when he said Xu Cheng was an acting genius.
Facing a powerful opponent, Jiang Mu didn't have time to think too much and she quickly got into the role.
She was an insignificant servant sent by the butler to him to see if she could stay. Her name was Xue Luo.
She lowered her head, her eyes a little flustered, her hands tucked into her sleeves, not knowing where to put them, but there was a hint of cunning and intelligence in her eyes.
"What's your name?" The question was asked by the assistant director standing nearby, who was temporarily helping to read the butler's lines.
Jiang Mu answered cautiously: "My name is Xue Luo, the Xue means snow, Luo means to fall"
After saying that, she glanced quickly towards Xu Cheng, a hint of surprise flashing across her eyes.
But when she met Xu Cheng's gaze, she immediately shrank her head, looking nervous.
Xu Cheng frowned and looked out the window calmly. After a long while, he said, "It snowed today too."
The voice is cold, but there is a sense of mystery that is hard to fathom.
Jiang Mu's eyes involuntarily looked out the window, and she murmured, "The snow is particularly heavy this year."
Xu Cheng turned around and looked at her again. You didn't know what he was thinking, and said coldly, "Let's choose her."
After saying that, Xu Cheng pushed the wheelchair away, but Jiang Mu looked a little strange, muttering, "It doesn't seem so scary."
Logically, the audition would have ended after saying this, but Jiang Mu still had a playful look on her face.
She frowned and stared in Xu Cheng's direction, which immediately aroused everyone's curiosity.
…..
The audition results were not announced immediately. There were many other actresses behind Jiang Mu, so she went back first.
Jiang Mu had just sat down at home when she received a call from Lu Ran.
Lu Ran didn't ask her about the audition, but invited her to dinner in the evening and told her that he had found her an endorsement, and that she had also been arranged to be on the cover of a magazine and to do an interview.
After hearing what Lu Ran said, Jiang Mu did not agree immediately. Since everything had been agreed, why bother having dinner? Why not just ask Cheng Xueyi to send her the itinerary?
She didn't say it directly, but that was what she meant.
Lu Ran hung up the phone after listening to her, and then Cheng Xueyi called her to talk about the itinerary arrangements.
Jiang Mu found it funny. Was Lu Ran probably just an elementary school kid who had never been in a relationship?
She didn't take this matter to heart. She had important things to do today because she would leave for City A soon. Today was Qin Che's mother's birthday. Jiang Mu had to go to City A to see her, and Qin Che should also go back.
The two of them will definitely meet in the evening.
Jiang Mu simply washed up, changed her clothes, picked up her bag, packed her necessary items and some clothes to change into, and then went out.
It only takes two hours to drive from City S to City A, so she can just drive back directly.
Thinking of her previous painful experience of getting into a car accident while replying to a message, Jiang Mu wore Bluetooth headphones the whole time and only answered calls without reading any messages.
Two hours later, Jiang Mu arrived in City A. She found a nearby shopping mall, bought some gifts, and then drove to the community where Qin Che's mother lived.
This is an old residential area. There is no dedicated garage. Parking spaces are on the roadside and one has to find them by oneself. Jiang Mu walked around twice before finding a parking space.
After getting off the bus, she still had to walk for five minutes to reach Building 7 where Qin Che's mother lived.
The original owner had told Qin Che a long time ago that she would help Qin Che's mother to change houses, but he refused. This house has not been demolished for many years. Jiang Mu couldn't help but sigh when she saw it. Who would have thought that Qin Che's mother lived in such an old community, and there was not even a security guard at the gate of the community.
Jiang Mu was wearing a hat and a mask, and many people stared at her on the street.
It was around five or six o'clock. The community was full of elderly people and children, and there were many people on the street. Jiang Mu walked very fast for fear of being recognized.
When she walked to Building 7, she saw that a parking space that was originally full was now vacant. Jiang Mu frowned and stood in front of the parking space feeling a little depressed.
Just at this moment a black car drove over and headed straight for the parking space next to Jiang Mu.
When Jiang Mu looked up, she saw Qin Che sitting in the car.
Jiang Mu thought, this person's luck is really better than hers.
She had walked a long way, and when this person arrived there was an empty parking space.
A bit unhappy.
When Jiang Mu stared at Qin Che, Qin Che also saw her.
On the way, Qin Che called his mother, and his mother asked him whether Jiang Mu would come back. Qin Che said he didn't know.
Mother Qin asked him to go and ask.
Along the way, Qin Che was thinking about whether he should ask Jiang Mu. Since they separated that day, they had no contact. Later, they met at the GT ceremony. He presented her with an award, but they were like strangers. He always felt weird in his heart.
Qin Che thought for a long time and decided to send a message to Jiang Mu to ask.
As a result, there was no reply to the message, as if it had fallen into the sea. He thought Jiang Mu didn't want to reply and would not come, but he didn't expect to run into her here.
After Qin Che parked the car, Jiang Mu was already standing next to his car.
When Qin Che saw Jiang Mu holding so many things in her hands, he remembered that he had not bought any gifts.
Qin Che was too busy filming and would forget a lot of things. In the past, Jiang Mu was the one who bought the gifts for the holidays. When she gave them to Qin's mother, Jiang Mu would say that it was Qin Che who bought them, and Qin's mother would be very happy.
Qin Che was used to it, so Jiang Mu definitely didn't buy it for him this time.
Thinking of this, Qin Che looked a little embarrassed.
"What a coincidence." Jiang Mu's attitude was very calm when she saw Qin Che.
Qin Che nodded: "Well, shall we go in together?"
He just asked casually, but he didn't expect Jiang Mu to shake her head.
Jiang Mu said, "No, let's go in separately, so that Mother Qin won't misunderstand that we came together. I'll go in first."
Jiang Mu's words made Qin Che's expression change again and again.
Before, it was Qin Che who wanted to separate from her, but now it was Jiang Mu who wanted to cut off ties with him, and she even refused to enter the door together.
This is probably because she doesn't want Qin's mother to misunderstand and think that there is still a possibility for them to get back together.
It seems like Jiang Mu has really given up on him and has never thought about reconciling.
Logically, Qin Che should be happy, but he was unexpectedly feeling a little irritated.
