Reborn to choose a career, I choose to be the most popular female star

The next day, Jiang Linyu and Zhang Ye arrived at the audition location half an hour early according to the time notified by the crew.

The audition location was at the Shenzhen Art Center, which had an artistic oval shape. What Jiang Linyu didn't expect was that there were already 30 or 40 people waiting inside, and judging by their appearance, most of them were high school and college students.

Because this time we are selecting the teenage period of the heroine of the drama, and the setting is a beautiful sixteen-year-old, the age and appearance requirements for the actors are very high, so it is estimated that they will be selected from various high schools and universities in Shenzhen.

Judging from the situation, there will probably be at least a hundred people coming for auditions today.

"Lin Yu, look at what they are holding, is it a script?"

After Zhang Ye's reminder, Jiang Linyu also discovered that most of the people waiting for the audition were holding a script that was more than a dozen A4 sheets thick and reading it.

"Strange, I also asked the person who notified me if there was a script, but he said that I would get it only when I arrived at the scene."

Normally, before auditioning, the crew would give the actors scripts to prepare in advance. At the time, she was surprised why this crew was different.

"Hello classmate, where did you get your script?" Zhang Ye asked someone casually.

"You asked for it when you were notified of the audition. Didn't you give a thank-you gift to the teacher who notified you?"

Zhang Ye's face suddenly turned ugly and he was speechless.

"Why are you asking for favors now? What should I do? Haven't you read the script?"

This was also something Jiang Linyu had not expected. Others had scripts prepared in advance, but he had not yet read the script.

She looked around and finally stopped at the check-in desk. She went straight over and asked the staff.

“Can I have a script?”

"You didn't bring it? We only have a few copies." The staff member obviously didn't want to give her

"I'll return it to you in a minute"

After hearing this, the staff member reluctantly gave her a script.

The audition content is randomly selected by the interviewer. For safety reasons, the interviewee will memorize all the scenes, or at least know the general lines.

Jiang Linyu read through the pages carefully. There were 16 pages of A4 paper in total. She spent ten minutes reading them all and then returned them to them.

"Why don't you take a closer look? Recite it for me?" Zhang Ye asked in surprise.

“That’s it”

Zhang Ye couldn't believe it and was so nervous that he wanted to bite his fingers: "Is it really possible?"

Jiang Linyu nodded and gave her a firm look that showed she believed in him.

As the interview time approached, more and more people came to the scene and it became more lively.

"Hi, are you also from Shenzhen Middle School?" A pleasant female voice sounded

The two looked up and were surprised to see that it was the school beauty Lin Xiaoxiao.

Although they all knew Lin Xiaoxiao, they were not in the same class and had never dealt with each other before, so they were quite surprised that Lin Xiaoxiao would take the initiative to say hello.

"I remember you on the day of registration"

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Jiang Linyu with a sincere gaze, which made people like this person unconsciously.

"You look prettier with your makeup on today, so I'm a little unsure."

Jiang Linyu also smiled politely and moved closer to Zhang Ye: "Would you like to sit down?"

Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded, then sat down without hesitation.

Looking at the two of them sitting together, Zhang Ye became more convinced that his previous view was correct.

My best friend is indeed prettier and more elegant than the school beauty.

It can be seen that the school beauty obviously hired a professional to help her with her makeup today. But my bestie only put on a simple foundation and eyebrows, and didn't even put on lipstick, but she was already so stunning.

Before leaving the room, the two had a debate about whether to wear lipstick or not. But Jiang Linyu said that the makeup should match the role of the interview and insisted on only wearing lip balm.

Now, compared with the school beauty’s big red lips, it seems that it is right not to put on any makeup.

But compared to Zhang Ye's growing confidence, Jiang Linyu felt a little unsure.

In her previous life, the school beauty Lin Xiaoxiao successfully entered the entertainment industry, most likely through this role. So in fact, her main competitor today is her.

After the time arrived, the formal audition officially began in a hall.

The noisy waiting area gradually quieted down, and the atmosphere became more and more tense. I was afraid that the interviewer would be harsh, but also that the person in front of me would perform well.

When the first auditioner finished and walked out, the tension reached its peak.

The first girl who came out had red eyes and an extremely ugly face. She picked up her bag and walked away quickly.

Originally everyone thought that it might be that some individuals were not doing well, but then five or six people had similar reactions in succession, and those who had not yet taken their turn began to get restless.

"Can I ask what happened? Is the examiner very strict?" Someone took the initiative to ask the people who had just finished the audition.

"It's not just strict, it's abnormal." The man said and left angrily

The people in the waiting area who had pricked up their ears to listen were shocked and started to discuss in low voices.

"What exactly is the request?"

"I don't know? Isn't it just a matter of picking a part of the script to act out?"

"what happened?"

……

The school beauty, who had been relatively calm, now became a little nervous.

"What kind of harsh requirements do you think it will be?" She looked at Jiang Linyu.

Jiang Linyu was also a little confused and shook his head.

After a while, a tall girl who had just finished the audition shouted, "Those who haven't had their turn yet should go back. It's a waste of time. It's impossible for anyone to meet their requirements."

This sentence was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and more than a dozen people came forward to ask questions.

"What exactly is the request? Tell me now! I'm dying of anxiety!"

"Yes please tell us, why do you all react like this when you come out?"

The tall girl said: "The interviewer will randomly pick a scene and ask you to perform it word for word. That's not all. They also ask you to be mature and skilled in housework. They have hired a professional cleaning company to give you a score."

Suddenly everyone was speechless. Some people might be able to meet the requirements of "writing every word correctly, being mature at a young age, and being proficient in housework" separately, but it is too difficult to meet the requirements at the same time.

Especially the last two points, most of the people who come to audition are high school students, so 90% of them can be directly screened out.

Suddenly, the discussion among the crowd became louder.

"How is this possible?"

"Why didn't you tell me in advance? Why did you tell me now during the audition?"

The noisy sound outside also entered the audition room. An interviewer smiled and shook his head helplessly, then moved to speak to the interviewer sitting in the middle.

"Director Wang, I really can't choose a suitable actor today according to your request."

The casting director named Director Wang also looked a little hesitant, but he gritted his teeth and insisted on his high standards.

"Mr. Lian Lu thinks the market will pay for this role, so we must choose carefully."

"Really? Then we have to choose carefully." The interviewer looked more serious.

Speaking of Mr. Lu, almost everyone in the entertainment industry knows him. Audiences who follow movies and TV also know him. Many dramas and movies have him listed as the producer. In the industry, he is definitely a person who can shake the entertainment industry with just one sentence.

However, he is also extremely low-key and mysterious, and has always signed his name with only his surname in many film and television dramas. Few people have seen him, and few know his full name, so people in the industry generally call him Mr. Lu.

The casting director thought for a moment, then his eyes became firm again. He shouted at the staff at the door in a rough voice, "Keep quiet outside! Anyone who doesn't want to audition, get out of here!"

The two staff members in charge outside immediately went to ask the tall girl to leave.

"Those who have finished their auditions, please leave now and stop making noise here"

"Everyone else waiting, please take a seat. If you don't want to audition, please leave!"

The scene gradually quieted down, but after this, everyone was obviously a little less confident.

"Lin Yu, what should I do? The requirements are so high."

Zhang Ye couldn't help but worry for her best friend. How could it be possible that not a single word was wrong? She had only been reading for ten minutes.

Even Lin Xiaoxiao, the usually emotionally stable school beauty, began to feel a little uneasy.

"Why do I need to know how to do housework?" Lin Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at Jiang Linyu, trying to find someone to help relieve her tension.

"It may be related to the role," Jiang Linyu said

The role they were interviewing for was the young female lead, the male lead's child bride. Most of the scenes were about her dealing with the complex environment of the mansion, and gradually growing up with patience and wisdom. In order to fit the character's patient and capable personality, it was not surprising that the auditioning actors were required to be mature and able to do housework.

If the requirements are not high, it should not be difficult to find an older actor to play the role.

But it is obvious that the director also wants to find someone who fits the age in terms of appearance. It is indeed a bit difficult to find a modern kid of sixteen or seventeen years old who has the right appearance and can also act patient, tough, hardworking and capable.

No wonder the casting director goes to so much trouble to visit various colleges and universities to find actors.

"Next is Lin Xiaoxiao, come to the door and get ready," the staff member's voice came.

"here"

School beauty Lin Xiaoxiao immediately stood up and went over to prepare for the audition.
