Entertainment from Charlotte's Troubles

Chapter 86 Recommend Zhao Liying

"I'll go, Brother Hua, why are you so sun-dried?"

Not long after Yuan Hua arrived on the set, Zhao Liying, who had been on paid leave for more than a month, also followed.

"Isn't that good, I'll save on makeup from now on." In the nanny's car, Yuan Hua was eating the meal that Zhao Liying had ordered from the hotel.

Today, he can be regarded as a shotgun for a cannon.

This time Zhao Liying didn't come alone, she also brought the nanny car rewarded by Wang Jinhua.

In addition, as the number one male, he doesn't need to eat box lunch, Zhao Liying packs it for him from the hotel every day.

With her chin propped up, Zhao Liying said: "Going to the company to train for more than a month has become a lot more masculine, very masculine."

"That place, you will feel manly when you go there."

"Bah, I'm not going."

Yuan Huacai went there for more than a month, and the skin on his face was completely sun-peeled. Now he is wheat-colored, and his muscles have increased significantly.

Masculine, with a sense of strength, it's good to be a man, but if a girl is like this, she might as well die.

"Haha, so you can't be the protagonist."

"Hmph, I can do it if I want the protagonist, the problem is not."

"Hehe, a woman said the same thing before. The director asked her to stand in a military posture, and she ran away within a few days. I haven't found anyone to replace her yet."

I Am a Special Soldier has 25 episodes in total. The length is short, and the main plots are all focused on men, and there are not many women's roles.

In the script that Yuan Hua received, there are more than ten emotional scenes.

The heroine's play is not as much as the male five and six male characters. It is better to say that she is a supporting role than a female lead.

But even if the female lead role is small, the director's requirements are still very high.

In the story, the heroine Xiaoying is a literary soldier, but in reality, the director really found an actress from a cultural troupe.

It's just that there are not many beautiful young actresses from the art troupe. The second female in the play is the comrade in arms of the first female, and both of them belong to the art troupe.

The director screened young actresses in the entertainment industry, but couldn't find a suitable second female lead.

Even the heroine only has more than a dozen scenes, not to mention the second female lead, there are six or seven scenes back and forth, those who don't know think it's a trick.

It doesn't matter if there are few plays, and the director also asked him to do military training for half a month and cut his hair short. Which star would like to come?

Helpless, the director had no choice but to choose a girl with similar appearance and popularity from the Academy of Acting.

"Cut, I'm different from them." Zhao Liying said, "If it were me, I would definitely not run away. What a great opportunity."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Liying secretly glanced at Yuan Hua.

Yuan Hua put down the bowls and chopsticks, and said seriously: "The director is worried that he can't find anyone. If you want to be as good as you said, why don't you try it?"

"Don't be kidding, people won't want me."

Yuan Hua sighed: "Look, this is the gap between you and Li Yifeng. If it was him, he might come over immediately and recommend himself."

"How do you know if you don't try some things? Anyway, you have nothing, and if you fail, you can lose a piece of meat?"

"I……"

It would be a lie to say that she was not moved, but Zhao Liying still couldn't take this step.Yuan Hua planned to give her another push: "If you want to try it, I can recommend it to the director."

Gritting her teeth, Zhao Liying plucked up her courage: "I'm willing to try!"

She once thought that she could get rid of the identity of an actor. After becoming Yuan Hua's assistant, she has seen many outstanding artists and has a different understanding of actors.

Zhou Xun was able to grind his legs and bleed for a role, Li Binbin drank and smoked, Yuan Hua read scripts day and night, and even Li Yifeng could run against the sun every day to perform in groups.

She just gave up after a little setback. Compared with these people, she is really not a qualified actor.

Countless silent nights, lying in bed, she had thought more than once, if time could come back again, would she give up being an actress?
The answer is no!
"Come with me." Yuan Hua got out of the car and took Zhao Liying to find the director.

"In such a rush, I'm not ready yet."

"The day lily will be cold by the time you get it ready."

In front of the director's studio, Yuan Hua stopped, stared back at Zhao Liying for a few seconds, then stretched out his hands to stroke her hair back, and tied her hair into a bun, exposing her neck and forehead.

"The first impression of the audition is very important. You have to audition for a female literary soldier. First of all, the makeup should not be too heavy, earrings or hair dyed."

Taking out a piece of paper, Yuan Hua helped her wipe off the lipstick: "Okay, you can go in."

"call!"

Walking behind Yuan Hua, Zhao Liying's face was flushed, and she felt like being teased for a few seconds.

"Director Liu, I heard that the second female lead of our crew has run away, has a substitute come?"

The director was adjusting the machine, glanced at Zhao Liying behind Yuan Hua, and could somewhat guess the intention of the two of them: "I asked someone to look for it, maybe it will only be these two days."

Pushing Zhao Liying forward, Yuan Hua smiled and said, "Look at my younger sister. She is an actress. She has been in the industry for four years. She has played many roles. The key is that she can endure hardship."

"Really? What's her name?" Zhao Liying was just a junior assistant, and she had just arrived. The director had never met her before. Hearing what Yuan Hua said, he thought she was really an actress.

"Zhao Liying made her debut in the Yahoo Star Search competition a few years ago, and was later signed to Huayi by director Feng Xiaogang. I have seen her plays, she is quite inspirational, and she can endure hardships and stand hard work."

"She also told me that she doesn't want a salary, right Xiao Zhao."

"Yeah." Zhao Liying nodded: "It's very rare to play director Liu's play. It doesn't matter if it's money or not. It's mainly for learning."

"Turn around and I'll take a look... I'll give you 5 minutes to memorize the lyrics and perform this part. It happens that Yuan Hua is here, so you can help her play."

The director gave Zhao Liying a page of the script.

In the story, the second female lead, Xiao Fei, is a female Xiaoying’s best friend, but she also has a crush on the male protagonist Xiao Zhuang. In order not to destroy the relationship between the sisters, she hides this liking.

Until one time, she accompanied the heroine Xiaoying to visit Xiaozhuang, and when Xiaoying went to the bathroom, she secretly kissed Xiaozhuang.

Xiao Fei's liking goes to the end, except for that kiss, she has never gone further, even after Xiao Ying was killed by Xiao Zhuang by mistake.

Although there are few roles, if you act seriously, the characters are still very rich.

"Director, I'm fine."

Five minutes later, Zhao Liying put down the script.

"Okay, let's start then."

"Snapped!"

With a clap of hands, the director signaled to start.

"How can you thank me for helping you so much?" With a smile on her face, Zhao Liying walked around restlessly with her hands behind her back.

Yuan Hua scratched his head and said with a silly smile, "Thank you."

"You, close your eyes, I have something to tell you." Pursing her lips, Zhao Liying said.

"Okay, you say."

Taking out a piece of toilet paper, Zhao Liying raised her toes to cover Yuan Hua's eyes, then approached and kissed him lightly on the chin.

After doing all this, she fled shyly.

"Okay, this role is for you." The director smiled happily.

Zhao Liying's performance is different from the script. In the script, Xiao Fei and Xiao Zhuang meet in the mountains of the military area, and she covers Xiao Zhuang's eyes with a yellow leaf.

There were no leaves on the scene, and the director did not expect Zhao Liying to use a piece of toilet paper instead.

Also, in the script it was a kiss like a superficial kiss, but she was not tall enough to reach, so the kiss was on the chin.

But it was this kiss that the director liked more.

He is not only a director, but also the author of I am a special soldier novel. Zhao Liying's performance is exactly what he wants.

Xiaofei's liking for Xiaozhuang has no future, and the kiss on the chin fits the character's state of mind at that time.

"Thank you director." Zhao Liying bowed.
