CP is forcing me to have a wife, and the male protagonist asked me who he is

Xie Zhuxin followed Director Xin to the director's office.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see a huge white board against the wall with the names of the main characters in "Winter and Summer" written on it, and half-length photos of the actors pasted densely below.

Xie Zhuxin found the name "Li Mo" at first sight and couldn't help but walk over.

Several photos of young girls are posted below.

"This is Li Mo, who auditioned last week. I chose her from a room full of actresses. I'm most optimistic about this one. She doesn't have much experience, but she's very talented."

Director Xin's voice rang in her ears.

He pointed to the one on top of the photos of girls.

Xie Zhuxin immediately understood. This must be the director’s first choice for Li Mo, right?

She suppressed the momentary bitterness in her heart and looked over intently.

That should be a newcomer.

Because I have never seen this face before.

But looking at the eyes in the photo, she inexplicably felt a little familiar.

A little immature, but not timid.

He looked straight into the camera with the spirit of a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger.

"I saw her work by chance at the drama academy. She acted very well, and the most rare thing was her energy, so I asked her to try Li Mo..."

Director Xin talked about how he discovered this newcomer.

"In fact, the character of Li Mo doesn't need to be too pretty. It's enough if she looks right. If she's too pretty, it will blur the focus of the character..."

Director Xin changed his straightforward tone at the audition and spoke in a much more gentle tone.

Is she explaining to herself why her good looks have become a demerit?

Xie Zhuxin didn't say anything and just listened silently.

She knew the director was trying to convince her to accept reality.

However, Director Xin doesn't seem to be very good at beating around the bush.

As he was talking, he didn't know what touched upon his mind, and suddenly he couldn't help himself and started complaining.

He said that his previous works either had no one to invest in, and he had to beg for money from everyone, or he couldn't even start filming.

Either the investors randomly stuff people into their own dramas, throw all kinds of traffic into their own dramas, and insist on ensuring that they have a lot of roles and good character settings, and teach him acting so much that he wants to die.

After much difficulty, the last work became a surprise hit, both critically and commercially successful.

This drama has received great attention from all parties.

He finally gained a certain say and could show his talents and make the movies he really wanted to make.

Unexpectedly, once the production was upgraded, all kinds of big-name actors and resource owners wanted to get involved.

This drama tells the story of an unsolved case whose truth has not been found for 20 years, from the perspectives of both older and younger generations.

The roles for the older generation are fine, as most of the actors who come in have both ability and status.

But the younger generation, although they have fewer roles, all of them are scenes with extremely strong contradictions and conflicts, and require a very high sense of propriety. They are very difficult to act, and definitely not something that any actor can pull off.

Among them, Li Mo, the only female character of the younger generation, is the hidden highlight of the whole play and is of hellish difficulty!

If this role is not played well, the whole play will be ruined!

It just so happens that the largest number of actresses are those who are stuffed by various capitals.

Director Xin finally overcame all objections and convinced all investors with the audition performance. He barely suppressed the resourceful celebrity and decided on the female newcomer he liked.

But who would have thought that Xie Zhuxin would suddenly appear, with traffic that no crew could say no to, and a very impressive audition performance, and came in front of Director Xin.

There was no need to ask for the investors' opinions. Even the director himself couldn't help but be tempted!

"To be honest, when you were performing just now, I was really shaken. But when I looked back and saw the expressions of the staff next to me, I reaffirmed my original idea.

Director Xin talked about irrelevant things for a long time and finally got back to the main topic.

“I found that those people were very engaged in watching the film, not because they were attracted by the experience of the character Li Mo, but because the person performing in front of them was you, the most popular female star at the moment.

"You acted very well, but you can't make them believe that you are Li Mo!"

The director's words of truth, which he couldn't help but say, hit Xie Zhuxin hard.

Her identity as a female star makes it hard for people to believe the roles she plays?

In other words, she didn't lose to anyone, but to herself?

This was something that hit her harder than any strong opponent!

Xie Zhuxin's whole body trembled, and he could no longer remain calm.

"But this is not a problem with your acting skills! It's just that the audience is too familiar with you and it's easy for them to think of your previous image. A fresh face will make the problem much simpler."

Director Xin quickly comforted Xie Zhuxin.

"Why don't you see if there are other roles you'd like to play? You can also make a cameo appearance, it's up to you to choose the role..."

Director Xin's attitude towards her at this moment completely overturned her impression of him as a literary rock man with a direct personality and unique way of speaking.

Xie Zhuxin couldn't help but feel sad.

Director Xin's performance may show that he really appreciates his own performance.

But more likely, he was afraid that he would insist on having his own way and get the role of Li Mo, thus squeezing out the newcomer he liked?

She couldn't help but sneer.

In the past few years since I entered the industry, I have worked with so many directors.

Apart from her capital background, she has always felt that she is a favorite of directors and has always won their recognition with her strength.

I never thought that one day I would become the "vicious supporting actress" who might harm the director's "darling" and be so feared and despised?

Xie Zhuxin felt a sharp pain in her heart and couldn't help but grit her teeth.

"Director Xin, you know my current status in the industry, and you also know that I have a close relationship with Uncle Lou. What if I say that I want to take on the role of Li Mo?"

Her face was tight.

To be honest, if Xie Zhuxin is determined to use some tricks, there is still hope.

On the contrary, the chances of success are quite high.

After all, she became popular again with "Bright Moon" and overshadowed half of the entertainment industry, which meant that at this moment, not many crews were willing to reject her.

Uncle Lou, one of the spokespersons for "Shi Li Quan" capital, also promised to help in this matter.

In Director Xin's eyes, my compatibility with the role may be slightly inferior to that of the female newcomer, but that may not be because of his preconceived notions.

So, since I clearly have so many advantages, why can't I fight for it?

"Then... there is nothing I can do."

Director Xin replied softly.

His expression darkened, no longer showing the same spirit as when he was talking so eloquently just now.

This scene seemed like a needle prick in Xie Zhuxin's eyes.

She was suddenly startled.

What are you doing?

Are you bullying others by taking advantage of the power of capital and traffic?

I have clearly suffered from people using unspoken rules to snatch my roles in the past, so why would I use this trick to deal with others today?

Xie Zhuxin looked away in panic.

Inadvertently, I saw the photo of the new female employee on the whiteboard again.

She suddenly understood why she felt familiar just now——

Isn’t this the look of myself before I starred in “The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber”?

Having nothing but great ambition.

At that time, apart from the opportunity card given by the system, I had no way out. I could only go all out and fight hard for Zhou Zhiruo in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".

The pressure and anxiety that was like a mountain at that time still make her feel scared when she thinks about it.

Yes, she had managed to get ashore by luck.

But is it her turn to treat younger actors like herself like this?

Do you want to use capital, connections and other tricks to snatch away opportunities that others have fought for with their own strength and shatter the hopes that others have longed for?

If she did this, then what would be the difference between her and Sun Yingying back then?

Didn't she become the kind of person she originally hated the most?

Will the dragon-slaying girl eventually become a dragon?

Xie Zhuxin took a deep breath.

All the words I wanted to say were stuck in my chest.

After she walked out of the director's office in a daze, she told her agent the whole story in an unclear manner.

Wu Yinan was also stunned.

They looked at each other with complicated expressions.

"How about we go back and study it first?"

"Well, let's go."

Go back and think about it, go back and think about it slowly.

The two people walked out of the crew, one in front and one behind, looking thoughtful.

When turning a corner, Xie Zhuxin turned her head inadvertently and saw a man's back.

After turning around and taking a few steps, she suddenly stopped and froze.

Wait!

The man who just walked towards the director's office seemed to be——

Ma Tianhua?

How come he is here? ! ! !
