The person in charge of the audition was still the assistant director from yesterday.
When he saw Pei Xinyuan walking in from outside, he was stunned for a moment. He obviously recognized her, but soon returned to normal, "Pei Xinyuan, right? The little girl is quite persistent."
Before coming, Pei Xinyuan warned herself not to act on impulse, but she was still a little upset when she saw the same assistant director who had mercilessly dismissed her yesterday auditioning for her.
I couldn't help but whispered back, "Isn't it bad to be persistent?"
After saying that, she regretted it, pursed her lips and glanced at the face opposite her that was obviously a little unhappy, "I, I'm here to audition for the role of palace maid Yuzhi this time."
Yue Zhi and Qing Yuan have the same status. Historically, they were both palace maids serving Emperor Yuan Zhao. However, Yue Zhi is not as senior as Qing Yuan. According to the palace maid grades, Qing Yuan is the first class and Yue Zhi is the second class. The role of Yue Zhi is Naturally, the role is not as good as that of Qing Yuan, but this is the only palace maid role that has not yet been confirmed.
The assistant director laughed when he heard this and waved his hand, "The role of Yuezhi has been decided."
Pei Xinyuan suddenly became anxious, "But I saw that the character on the big screen outside was still red..."
"It's just that I haven't had time to change it yet. In this way, you can either choose other small roles or give up."
Pei Xinyuan saw his eyes flickering and knew that these words were probably just an excuse.
After all, I have been in this circle for so long, so I have naturally faced some potential rules.
There is no point in arguing. In the end, the one who suffers is the one who is weak and has no backing.
However, her silence turned into dissatisfaction in the eyes of the assistant director.
"If you ask me, there are no choices for the remaining roles. There are only one or two lines in the whole play. I also saw your acting skills yesterday, so just pick any one you want."
"but I……"
There was a slight cough from the side door.
Pei Xinyuan paused and turned to look at the visitor.
He had thick eyebrows and a flat head, and was lean and lean. He looked so familiar that she didn't even dare to recognize him.
It was also because I really didn’t expect that this person would come to the audition hall for young actors like them.
Before she could say hello, the assistant director who was sitting upright stood up quickly, "Director Wei, why did you take the time to come here?"
Wei Xiao walked up to the assistant director with his hands behind his back and pushed him back, "I'm here to see if you're done. Why did I come here and see you chatting with the girl who came for the audition?"
"Just a few words about my views on the crew. Director Wei, please sit down. This girl wants to audition for the role of Yuezhi, the palace maid, but the role is already taken."
Pei Xinyuan opened his mouth to explain himself, but after seeing the warning in the assistant director's eyes, he gritted his teeth and swallowed it.
If she still wants to join the crew, she can't offend the person who can decide whether to stay with such a small role like her.
"I……"
Wei Xiao picked up the information on the table and glanced at it casually, then looked at the little girl standing opposite who looked a bit stubborn, and suddenly said: "Pei Xinyuan, show me your side and back, right?" .”
Pei Xinyuan was stunned when he heard it, and then he followed the instructions in confusion.
After reading it, Wei Xiao couldn't help but nodded, "I saw it right just now."
He actually just passed by the audition hall by chance. The reason why he changed his mind and walked in was precisely because the casual glance at the back almost made him think that Jiang Lingxi was here again.
It wasn't until I saw the front that I realized they were two completely different faces, but the profile and back looked very much like Jiang Lingxi.
"Assistant director Gang Lin said that the role you want to audition for has already been chosen. Are you willing to be a stand-in?"
"Substitute? What kind of substitute?"
Seeing the little girl's immediately wary look, Wei Xiao found it a bit funny, and patiently explained: "It's not the kind of stand-in that requires the use of certain body parts as you think, it's just a back stand-in, and a standing stand-in and the like. .”
Pei Xinyuan thought for a moment and took a deep breath, "Then do I know whose substitute I am?"
"The heroine, Jiang Yuanzhao."
"Okay, I do."
This time, Wei Xiao raised his eyebrows in surprise, "So happy? You have to know that you, the substitute, cannot show your face in the whole show. If you agree, you can't go back on it."
It can be said that except for face substitutes, other types of substitutes cannot show their faces. If you play some small roles, you will still have a chance to show your face.
"As long as I can join the group."
You could hear the sincerity in this urgent sentence, which amused Wei Xiao, "That's okay, Assistant Director Lin remembers to prepare a contract for the female lead's stand-in for him."
Assistant Director Lin nodded quickly, "Don't worry, Director Wei. Director Wei is still very good, and he found a substitute for the heroine right now."
"No need to compliment me, just keep busy with your work, I'm leaving."
Watching Wei Xiao wave his hand and leave without taking away a single cloud, Assistant Director Lin looked at Pei Xinyuan who couldn't help but feel happy. While making notes, he sighed: "It's not like there are no other roles for you to audition for. Although the stand-in can be with the team , but you can’t show your face during the whole process, and you can’t be included in the cast. It’s good for you, you’re still in high spirits.”
He also thought that what he did yesterday and today was indeed a bit unethical for this girl. Now that the other party was noticed by the director of health, although he was just a stand-in, he still had his name, so he gave a rare comfort: "But you This time it’s the director Wei’s appearance, and the stuntman is pretty good, there are some people in the industry who are famous as stuntmen, so do your best.”
Pei Xinyuan bowed slightly to him and said, "Thank you, assistant director, for the tip."
Regardless of whether the other person's words were true or false, she had to appreciate them.
"Go ahead. We'll notify you when the contract is signed. Keep your phone on and don't miss calls."
Coming out of the audition hall, Pei Xinyuan saw Han Jiaojiao waiting outside.
"How's it going? Have you got Yuezhi?"
"No."
"Ah?" Han Jiaojiao's face suddenly fell. Worried about the people around her, she could only lower her voice and angrily said, "You passed the Qingyuan audition yesterday, how come Yue Zhi failed? Is it possible that you are memorizing words with this crew? ?”
Pei Xinyuan quickly covered her mouth when she heard the last sentence, "Listen to what I have to say. Although I didn't get to audition for Yuezhi this time, I got the opportunity to be the heroine's stand-in."
"Substitute?" Han Jiaojiao was shocked. Seeing that her roommate was quite happy, she couldn't help but reached out and touched her forehead, "You don't have a fever either. Why can't you think of being a substitute, even if it's the heroine? As a substitute, doesn’t it still mean that you can’t show your face?”
Pei Xinyuan took off Han Jiaojiao's hand and said, "I don't have a fever. It's my wish."
Han Jiaojiao saw the seriousness in her eyes, and although she still didn't understand, she didn't say anything else.
"I just told you, how about you, did the audition go well?"
"It's not bad." Han Jiaojiao touched her face, "You also know that with my appearance, my acting career is narrow. This time I can audition for the role of the third aunt in the general's palace, and I am satisfied. I still have three lines left. .”
"Which three sentences?"
"Sir, please forgive me. I am aware of my guilt. Haha, no more than ten words in total. Not bad. Other times, I just sit in the corner and use it as a background. It's much easier than being a stand-in like you."
After walking out of the door, Pei Xinyuan looked back at the audition hall that he had entered twice.
Seeing this, Han Jiaojiao snorted softly, "When the crew starts filming, a certain actor named Jiang will probably not expect that you will use other identities to join the crew. It will definitely scare her."
Pei Xinyuan looked away and shook his head in amusement, "People probably don't know who I am, so they shouldn't be scared."
But this time the role she had already obtained was robbed, and she made a mental note.
