After I picked up the villain, I became popular

Chapter 266 She is Unqualified
Xiang Wenya is filming a big-budget TV series.

Since her debut, she has been making dramas at the beginning, and has been making movies since then.

This time I will take on this drama because the script and production background are not small.

As long as the filming is finished and passed the review, it can be broadcast on the national TV station and the official platform, so even if it is the second female lead in the play, Xiang Wenya agreed without hesitation.

But a few days ago, a supporting actress who played a lot of roles had an accident and broke her leg, so she had to be replaced.

So the crew had no choice but to suspend work, and Xiang Wenya also rested at home for a few days.

The director was so anxious that his hair was going gray, because he hadn't found a suitable person, and asked Xiang Wenya several times if there was anyone he could introduce to him.

Most of the entertainers Xiang Wenya knew who had good acting skills were announced.

People in the studio can't afford this role.

Now seeing someone yelling at Lingyao, Xiang Wenya couldn't help but sigh, "It would be great if I could introduce Yaoyao. Although not many people watch this kind of historical drama, it can definitely prove how good the artist's acting skills are. Not qualified to be an actor..."

If Ling Yao had this ability, why would she be ridiculed by so many people by a drama performance?
The agent at the side wanted to refute directly, because Ling Yao is just a newcomer, how could she be good at acting?
But after thinking about it, she remembered the art test again.

"Ask Ya, do you think it's possible for Ling Yao's acting skills to be passable?"

"possible?"

"Think about it, the art test has a lot of content, and she is in the acting department of the test, so there will definitely be related tests. Ling Yao is the best freshman in this year..."

Xiang Wenya clapped her hands subconsciously, "That's right! How did I forget about the art test? I almost let those people on the Internet lead me astray, the art test scores are so good, Yaoyao's conditions must be fine in all aspects!"

Thinking of this, Xiang Wenya picked up the phone, "I'll make a call to Director Li Yuan, I saved the contact information when I went to the crew last time... I want to see how Yaoyao's acting skills are."

That web drama is about to start broadcasting, and there must be a finished film.

Xiang Wenya asked herself that she was still trustworthy, and Li Yuan probably wouldn't mind sending some of the episodes or clips to her for a look.

The manager nodded, she was just casually doing what Xiang Wenya did now.

Artists basically eat their youth. Even though Xiang Wenya's acting skills are really good, she is already middle-aged.

Middle-aged actresses are very embarrassing. Younger roles must not be played more. The only suitable role for them is the role of mother. This is not in line with Xiang Wenya's personality after her debut.

So the studio couldn't just rely on Xiang Wenya for support.

If Lingyao has a bright future, it will definitely benefit Xiang Wenya and other artists in the studio in the future.

Xiang Wenya quickly explained to Li Yuan the reason for the call, and Li Yuan agreed quite simply, but he definitely couldn't send the whole drama, only the first few episodes.

After Xiang Wenya spent a day watching those episodes, she didn't regain consciousness for a long time.

It is said that the avenue is as simple as possible, and sometimes the simpler a thing is, the more difficult it is to understand and practice.

Acting is actually pretty much the same.

It seems that youth dramas do not require great acting skills, but there are not many people who can really act very well.

Before watching the drama, Xiang Wenya had done enough psychological preparation for herself, thinking that no matter how badly Ling Yao acted, she couldn't dislike her, so she had to watch it.

But Ling Yao's performance in the play gave her a very big surprise!
Xiang Wenya never thought that Ling Yao's acting skills could be so strong!
If the character of the characters in the play is similar to Ling Yao, then she can be regarded as acting in her true colors if she plays well, so there is nothing surprising.

But Ling Yao is fundamentally different from the heroine in the play.

"Why is there no next episode?" The manager also finished watching these episodes, and he still couldn't get enough of it. "I didn't really want to watch it, but this drama is good! The script is also good, and the actors are fine..."

While talking, the manager finally came back to his senses.

"Ling Yao! I almost forgot that it depends on Ling Yao's performance!"

"Yes..." Xiang Wenya replied.

It is not difficult to see from the agent's reaction that Ling Yao's acting skills are so good that the audience can forget that she is Ling Yao.

This is very important!
"Can I introduce Yaoyao to Director Lin?"

"I don't think it's a problem! Anyway, I have to audition."

If at the beginning the agent felt that Xiang Wenya's words were fine, then don't really lead Ling Yao to a famous director.

So now it is very supportive.

So, while outsiders were still mocking Ling Yao, she was led by Xiang Wenya to audition for other crews.

At first Ling Yao thought Xiang Wenya was joking.

After all, even if Ling Yao had saved her life, she would not make fun of her own future.

Afterwards, Xiang Wenya only said to try it, Ling Yao asked Chi Ming, and then agreed.

Chi Ming's reaction was much stronger than Ling Yao's, and he asked several times "Are you sure?"

If Xiang Wenya hadn't answered the phone while listening to the phone, Chi Ming would almost have thought Ling Yao was joking.

Although I don't know how Xiang Wenya treats Ling Yao so well, Chi Ming, as a gold agent, knows what this drama represents. Become a third-line artist.

This is not a small step.

If that drama becomes popular, Ling Yao might be able to ascend to the second line in one step.

Now that traffic artists are in the lead, some artists who are promoted by the company do a little marketing, and there are many people who can rank among the first and second tiers with a drama.

Therefore, Ling Yao was presented with an excellent opportunity!
----

"Southern Tang Dynasty" is a historical TV drama created by the country's leading national TV station with a huge investment, and it is extremely sophisticated from the script to the props and costumes. It claims to be a historical drama that can be viewed as a documentary.

For such a drama, even if the ratings may be low because of the type, the quality is destined to be good from the beginning, and the reputation must be very good.

Because of this, the casting of this drama is very strict.

Even Xiang Wenya, who won the Best Actress award and is internationally famous, can only play the female supporting role, and the heroine is played by a national first-class actor. Because it is a dynasty epic, the heroine There is also more than one protagonist. After all, this show needs female protagonists of different ages. Makeup alone cannot achieve the effect.

This play is mainly adapted from real history. The screenwriter is very famous in the circle, and he is also a writer who has won many domestic literary awards.

As for the director, it is Xu He, a senior director of National TV.

Xu He's resume is very good-looking. Whether it is a documentary or a TV series he directed, his reputation is very good.

The only downside is probably age.

This drama may be his last TV series.

Just for this gimmick, I don't know how many artists want to squeeze into this crew.

The role that Ling Yao was going to audition for was just a court lady in the play, but as a supporting actress who promoted the development of the plot, according to the number of roles in the play, she was still the fourth female.

There are so many characters in historical dramas, it is already very good to be able to play the female fourth.

Because the actors selected by Xu He, except for those who only have one or two lines of lines or come to play guest roles, the others are basically outstanding and capable in the first and second tiers.

Just by comparing like this, one can know who Ling Yao is competing with.

This is also the main reason why Chi Ming didn't believe that Xiang Wenya would recommend Ling Yao.

Chi Ming drove Ling Yao out of the house first, and then the two went to meet Xiang Wenya.

"To be honest, you are not Xiang Wenya's own daughter, are you?" Chi Ming put his hands on the steering wheel and did not rush to drive.

"No."

"Then why did she help you like this?" Chi Ming was simply curious, but had no other thoughts, "Or you bribed her? It cost you hundreds of millions?"

Ling Yao couldn't laugh or cry, "Brother Chi, don't think about it."

"If you really want to talk about the reason, it's probably because I'm her savior."

When Chi Ming heard the words, he neither believed nor disbelieved, but it seemed that he had accepted the statement.

Xiang Wenya was waiting for the two not far from the crew.

Today's day was agreed between Xiang Wenya and Xu He.

Originally, due to the lack of an important actor, the filming of this scene could not be continued, so the crew was on vacation.

Xu He rarely went to the set.

After saying hello, Xiang Wenya told Ling Yao about Xu He.

If you want to pass the audition, you must not know the director at all.

Just from Xiang Wenya's heart-to-heart attitude towards Ling Yao, the other party must be thinking of Ling Yao. Chi Ming, who had some doubts about going to see Xu He today, was completely relieved.

"Director Xu is very serious about filming, so he takes it too seriously, so he is also very serious about actors' acting. If he speaks badly later, don't worry about it. If he wants to scold people, I will definitely say him..."

Xiang Wenya would not let Xu He be aggressive towards Ling Yao.

Ling Yao nodded while listening to the other party's instructions.

Ling Yao knew about Xu He.

It's not that she has watched Xu He's TV series or documentaries before, but that there is a description of Xu He in the original text.

As Xu He is a top director in China, this "setting" alone is destined to have an intersection with the original heroine.

In the original text, Ji Anxia became popular because of a costume drama filmed by Xu He and became a top-notch.

But not this "Southern Tang Dynasty".

For this historical drama, that is the part that is not mentioned in the original text.

Before Xiang Wenya brought Ling Yao and Chi Ming into the set, he made a special call to Xu He.

After all, it is a TV series with a large investment, and the security on the set must be very strict.

Without Xu He's consent, even Xiang Wenya couldn't bring people in in a daze.

When Xiang Wenya brought the two of them in, Xu He was sitting there drinking tea.

"Director Xu, I brought him here."

Xu He looked sideways at several people.

"Hi Director Xu, I'm Ling Yao." Ling Yao walked over, "Come here to audition for the role of 'Luqi'."

Xu He nodded, "I know you."

"Many people have been discussing you online recently."

Ling Yao responded, "That's right."

Xu He's complexion was not good from the beginning to the end, which would invisibly put a lot of pressure on people.

But Ling Yao was very calm, which made Chi Ming and Xiang Wenya both heave a sigh of relief.

"A newcomer, who has only filmed an online drama, is there a hype for such a high popularity?" Xu He asked very bluntly.

"I don't need entertainers who like hype here, but actors who act in a down-to-earth manner."

Ling Yao said, "It's not hype."

Xu He's serious expression eased a bit, "Apart from online dramas, do you have any filming experience? Even watching?"

"No."

"She looks pretty good." Xu He looked at Xiang Wenya, "But she is not qualified, you can take her away."

"Director Xu, you didn't even watch her audition, so why did you say no?" Of course, Xiang Wenya had to argue hard.

Xu He's reaction was within her expectation.

"No, Luqi is just a court lady. She is really beautiful. I don't think she can compare with those seniors in terms of acting skills, and she just made her debut. She shouldn't want to play ugly, right?"

If Ling Yao is not to overwhelm the heroine, she must act ugly.

Ling Yao still replied calmly, "I don't mind being ugly."

Xu He carefully looked at Ling Yao's expression and found that she was telling the truth.

"Since you've all come here, let you try."

Xu He is not a hearsay person, so many people on the Internet say that Ling Yao's acting skills are definitely not good, but he doesn't think so.

It's just that it's not clear whether Ling Yao can compete with other competitors.

"There are several people who came to audition today. I gave them the same script. Try this one too..."

Xu He took the script casually, and then pointed to the part with the red line, "That's all, is it okay?"

Ling Yao glanced briefly, then nodded, "No problem."

"You're the first to say that with certainty."

Xu He frowned, and regarded Ling Yao as the kind of person who is eager for success.

He waved his hand, "Then let you prepare for 10 minutes, and it will start in 10 minutes."

Ling Yao said hello, and sat aside to read the script.

Xiang Wenya saw that Xu He's face was not right, so he had to go to comfort Ling Yao and said, "Director Xu is like this, if you make him a little bit unhappy, he will be very cold, and he is also like this during filming, don't take it to heart."

As he spoke, he patted Ling Yao's shoulder.

Regarding Ling Yao's quick answer just now, Xiang Wenya actually wanted to say a few more words, such as making Ling Yao more humble.

But now is the time for Ling Yao to prepare, not for her to talk nonsense.

The drama "Southern Tang Dynasty" simply tells the story of a prince who was not born as a direct descendant ascended the throne as emperor, then regained his power to control the court, and finally created a prosperous dynasty.

The emperor and empress in the play are of course the hero and heroine.

And Luqi is the maid beside the queen mother.

The male protagonist is not from the queen mother, the queen mother feels that the male protagonist is not easy to control, and wants to change the emperor.

The two sides are hostile, which makes Lu Qi and the hero have an intersection.

Lu Qi is blackened step by step in the play, and later even almost killed the hero.

Her life experience was very miserable, and so was her experience after entering the palace.

Later, Luqi climbed desperately to win the favor of the queen. The queen at that time was the queen mother in the later stage of the play.

The scene where Xu He asks Ling Yao to audition is the only scene where Luqi's emotions change the most, and it is also the most difficult scene.
