Chapter 60

Looking at the girl who tilted her head and smiled brightly at her, Song Xiaoye was stunned for a while before she realized who it was.

"Ru-Miss Rumiko? Cough, cough..." It's so strange, how could Rumiko appear here.She remembered that there seemed to be an age limit for this selection, and Rumiko, obviously, should have exceeded her age.

Although it was strange in her heart, Song Xiaoye wisely did not tell the truth.And Rumiko didn't pretend to hide it, but when Song Xiaoye approached, she covered her mouth with a smile, and asked with a blink of an eye, "I look like eighteen or nine years old now?"

With a student head and a short skirt with a navy collar, at first glance, it is indeed youthful and beautiful.Originally, women in the East look small, but Rumiko looks so tender, and she really looks like a girl at first glance.Moreover, Rumiko's figure is very petite, a head shorter than Song Xiaoye. In comparison, when the two stood together, Song Xiaoye looked more like the older one.

Tilting her head, Rumiko whispered, "I secretly lowered my age to audition. Although I may not be selected, it's always a chance. Song, you won't laugh at me for being shameless, will you?"

"How could it be?" Song Xiaoye waved her hand and just smiled.

Rumiko said this herself, although she didn't ask her anything, but she was obviously asking her not to say anything.In this case, if she doesn't know the fun, it will be annoying.

While it might be a little unfair, she really doesn't have to be a righteous Sailor Moon.

Sitting with Rumiko, Song Xiaoye didn't mention Rumiko anymore, and Rumiko also changed the subject, just talking to Song Xiaoye about some interesting things about filming.

Only then did Song Xiaoye know that what Li Xiaopeng said about Rumiko's little fame in Japan was actually true.I just don't know why she suddenly left everything behind and came to the United States to specialize in acting during the rising stage of her career.

"I want to be a world-class star!" Rumiko said with a smile, but the expression on her face was somewhat sad.

Regardless of why she came to the United States, it is clear that life in the United States is not as good as she imagined.

Without comforting Rumiko, Song Xiaoye's current situation simply does not allow her to have extra sympathy - sympathy, that thing is only available to high-ranking people.People like them, who are struggling to fight for a world in the United States, can't even sympathize with themselves, so how can they sympathize with others?
"Come on!" Comparing with Rumiko with a smile, Song Xiaoye walked towards the door at the other end of the hall without even looking back.

If she comes out crying after a while, it's time for someone else to sympathize with her.

In the spacious hall, Song Xiaoye was shocked when she pushed the door.

It's just an audition, do we need so many people? !

Behind the long table facing the door, there were more than a dozen judges sitting, plus the staff who were fiddling with the camera. Song Xiaoye had never experienced such an audition scene.

Although she had decided long ago not to care about gains and losses, Song Xiaoye still couldn't help feeling a little nervous when she walked in the door and was looked up by the judges who raised their heads.

Breathing slowly, she slowly walked to the center of the scene. Although there was no sign, because of the experience of shooting during this period, she stood exactly where the camera was facing.

A judge raised her head and stared at her, then turned her head and whispered a few words to the young man with dark hair beside her.The man nodded, raised his head, looked at Song Xiaoye and asked, "Xiaoye? Song?! Have you ever had filming experience before?"

"Yes," Song Xiaoye stood up straight, clasped her hands naturally in front of her body, and said with a smile, "I'm studying at Juilliard College, and I've participated in several film shoots in my spare time, but none of them It's a small role..."

The man let out an "oh" and lowered his head.

Beside him, the blond man who first looked at Song Xiaoye then asked: "Hong Kong Chinese? Lived in England? I heard your accent seems to have a London accent..." Before Song Xiaoye could answer, he asked again: "You must be able to speak Chinese?"

"Of course," Song Xiaoye nodded, before she understood why she asked this question, a middle-aged woman with black hair and black eyes, obviously of Chinese descent, came over and handed her an A4 paper.

"Please read it according to this, and try to read it as quickly as possible."

Nodding, Song Xiaoye looked down and was happy.Who came up with this question? Even if you want to test the actors' understanding of Chinese culture, you can come up with a Tang poem or a Song poem, but why did you come up with a tongue twister?Not to mention many girls who didn't grow up in China at all, even those who were born and bred may not be able to speak well, right?

"What? Miss Song can't read?"

As soon as Song Xiaoye shook her head, the middle-aged woman frowned.

"No, no problem." Standing up straight, Song Xiaoye faced the camera, didn't even look at the piece of paper, and opened her mouth: "A nail on the wall, a hanging rope on the nail, slip the rope to the bottle, and open the bottle. A broken bottle puts a lamp under it, and a broken lamp puts a pot under it. A bottle hits a lamp, a lamp hits a basin, a basin curses a lamp, a lamp curses a bottle, a bottle curses a rope, a rope curses a nail, nails a strange rope, a rope blames a bottle, a bottle blames a lamp, a lamp blames a basin .Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ping Ping Ping Ping Ping Ping Ping Ping Ping Ping!"

It was done in one go, without even stuttering, and Song Xiaoye spoke pure Mandarin, without revealing the slightest bit of Cantonese pronunciation.

The woman who handed her the tongue twister raised her eyebrows, and seemed a little surprised, "You read this poem very smoothly."

This sentence is spoken in Chinese, but the accent is not much stronger than that of foreigners.

Song Xiaoye opened her mouth, couldn't help but said: "Perhaps, you can use some real Tang poems to test—this one is just a tongue twister, not a poem."

She just said it casually, but the woman immediately blushed, glared at Song Xiaoye, and then turned and walked away.

"What did they say?" the blond man asked.

The black-haired man next to him smiled. Although he didn't speak, Song Xiaoye felt that he understood but didn't want to say anything.

"OK, Ms. Song, can you tell me, what is your understanding of China?"

this problem? !
Song Xiaoye smiled wryly, okay!They want an authentic Chinese girl.But, this question is really...

"I am Chinese!" After saying this calmly, Song Xiaoye slowed down and said in a flat voice: "China is very big, and the place where I was born and grew up is only a small part of it. Moreover, in a very long time Time, all..."

With a slight smile, she paused and said softly: "Although I haven't been to many places, my motherland is very beautiful and has a very ancient culture. Although there are some unsatisfactory places, but , I love it!"

Song Xiaoye spoke in Chinese, although the judges present could hardly understand them, but the deep and reserved emotion contained in Song Xiaoye's gentle and soft voice moved them.After the middle-aged woman finally translated Song Xiaoye's words, the blond man clapped his hands directly.

"China is indeed a beautiful and mysterious country. I've always yearned for it—Miss Song, if you don't mind, I hope to see your acting skills."

Song Xiaoye's spirit lifted, this was the real highlight.

"The lover broke up, the boyfriend cheated, you are the last one to know - Jason, don't you mind acting in a rival drama with Ms. Song?"

The black-haired young man stood up with a smile, walked up to Song Xiaoye, and smiled gently: "Miss Song, congratulations, you are the first one to be accompanied by me in a rival drama."

This sentence is Chinese, and it is even better than that of the middle-aged Chinese woman just now.If it wasn't for his brown eyes, Song Xiaoye would even have misunderstood him as Chinese.

Although he didn't know who Jason was, he was obviously relying on him to be able to speak like this.Could it be that what does it mean to be accompanied by him in a rival drama?
Thinking of this, Song Xiaoye's eyes couldn't help but light up, but she calmed down just for a moment.

First she nodded with a smile, Song Xiaoye looked at Jason, waiting for him to speak.However, after waiting for half a minute, Jason still stood there so quietly, without any intention of talking or looking at her.

What does it mean? !

Song Xiaoye's heart skipped a beat, and she began to feel that something was wrong.Out of the corner of his eye, he peeked at the camera that was pointing at them, and then looked at the silent judges.

Although it was only a second or two, she already had an idea in her heart.

"You—what you said just now is true?" Song Xiaoye asked in a low voice. down.

Lowering her eyes, she whispered, "It was so sudden, I don't know what to say..."

Since Jason refused to take the initiative to speak or start the scene, she should be the one to start the show.

Because of Song Xiaoye's performance, Jason turned his head, looked at Song Xiaoye, and said in a deep voice, "You know what I said is true! You should feel it, between me and Ginny..."

Ginny? !Is it a coincidence or did Jason do it on purpose?

Song Xiaoye's lips trembled, and she looked at Jason sadly and disappointedly, "Why Ginny? You know she's my best friend, why..." Choking hard, Song Xiaoye turned her face away and wiped the back of her hand. over the corner of the eye.

No matter how sad she was, she didn't want to cry in front of him. This was the dignity she couldn't give up.

"Ginny, did she know you were looking for me?!" Because Jason didn't cooperate, Song Xiaoye turned around and turned her back to Jason, "Stop talking, I don't want to know..."

The voice was a bit stiff, and after finishing speaking, Song Xiaoye shrugged her shoulders, as if she couldn't restrain her emotions, "Why Ginny? Why her? You two..."

Wiping her eyes, she stared at Jason with red eyes, as if she wanted to scold him, hit him, or throw herself into his arms and hug him tightly.However, in the end, she just took a step back slowly.

"You two—I'm sorry, I can't bless you now..." Turning around suddenly, she covered her face and ran away, disappearing into the camera.

Outside the camera, Song Xiaoye stopped, turned her head, looked at Jason who was still standing in the distance, and couldn't help frowning.He said he was supporting her, but this Jason was clearly making things difficult for her.Fortunately, she reacted quickly. Even if Jason didn't cooperate, she still did such a play, but she didn't know...

Turning his head to look at the judges' seats, he couldn't see anything from the faces of those judges at all.

The blond man raised his head, looked at Song Xiaoye, clapped his hands with a smile, and said flatly, "Thank you very much for your performance, Miss Song, you can go now, we will notify you of the audition results as soon as possible."

Although Song Xiaoye could still maintain a smile for the well-regulated reply, her heart sank for a moment...
