After rebirth, my new love and I made it real

Gu Yichen put away his phone, glanced at Gu Yinan who was not far away, and walked over, "Do you know the new movie that Director Li is going to shoot?"

Gu Yinan had acted in several of Li Zongping's films, so they had some dealings before.

Gu Yichen thought that Gu Yinan might know something about the casting of the leading female role in the new movie.

"I heard Director Li say that." Gu Yinan raised an eyebrow and looked at him, "What's wrong? What's the problem?"

"Then do you know who Director Li is going to cast for the leading female role in this movie?"

Gu Yinan suddenly thought of something and curved his eyes, "Brother, do you want Xia Shu to play the leading female role?"

Gu Yichen did not deny it either, "Yes, I originally thought that this matter was settled, but I heard that Li Zongping seemed to have a new choice for the female lead."

"Didn't Sister Ran tell you?" Gu Yinan asked back.

"what?"

"Sister Ran has signed a new artist." Gu Yinan said, "The new female lead is this newly signed artist, Xu Xinzhu."

Gu Yinan looked at him with a smile in his eyes, "Brother, guess who will get the female lead in the end, Xia Shu or Xu Xinzhu?"

"..."

Li Zongping’s new movie is titled "Top Secret Disguise", a spy drama.

The heroine in the play plays a female spy. She has a twin sister, and the role of the sister also plays a crucial role in the development of the plot.

Li Zongping's original plan was to have Xia Shu play two roles, which is a very common practice in modern film and television works.

But he learned about Xu Xinzhu's existence from Lin Qingran.

He was surprised by how similar Xu Xinzhu looked to Xia Shu.

In this circle for many years, he has never seen two actors who look so similar, and this discovery gave him a second idea, which is to let Xia Shu and Xu Xinzhu participate in the role at the same time, one plays the role of the older sister and the other plays the role of the younger sister.

This will make post-editing much easier.

When Xu Xinzhu got the script, she finally understood why she, a plain girl, had the opportunity to audition for Director Li Zongping. It turned out that it was all thanks to Xia Shu...

Lin Qingran asked her to strive for the female lead, but in fact the part she was given to audition for was still the female lead, that is, the role of the younger sister.

This was exactly what Li Zongping was thinking. Although Xu Xinzhu was recommended by Lin Qingran, he was just an 18th-tier actor after all, and he had no sensational works, so he did not fully trust him.

But Xia Shu is different. At least Xia Shu's status as a first-line actress is unshakable and she has her own traffic.

Li Zongping prefers Xia Shu to play the first female role and Xu Xinzhu to play the second female role.

A black car stopped on the side of the road. Lin Qingran took off her blindfold and opened her eyes. Xu Xinzhu, who was sitting next to her, was still flipping through the script.

In the morning, Xu Xinzhu received a call from Li Zongping, asking her to arrive at the location he sent on time to prepare for the offline audition.

Lin Qingran came with her in person.

"Xinzhu." Lin Qingran glanced at her, "Are you ready?"

Xu Xinzhu was obviously not prepared and looked a little nervous. "Director Li called me over this time. Will he really let me play the role of the leading actress on the spot like you said?"

After receiving a call from Li Zongping in the morning and telling Lin Qingran the news, Lin Qingran asked her to prepare for the role of the female lead in advance.

But shouldn't she be auditioning for the second female lead?

Lin Qingran narrowed her eyes. "Li Zongping has always paid attention to the actor's temperament and the fit with the original play. The heroine of "Top Secret Disguise" is not only a meticulous spy, but she must have calmness and determination that ordinary people don't have, and she must also have good physical fitness and action ability. I think, Xu Xinzhu, in this regard, I think Xia Shu is far inferior to you."

"Since Director Li asked you to come over, I guess the video you sent over must have shaken his mind."

"But……"

"Xinzhu, your acting skills are no worse than Xia Shu's." Lin Qingran looked at her with a smile, "Believe in yourself, and believe in me, okay?"

What does Xu Xinzhu have to fear?

She was a person who had nothing to begin with, but was lucky enough to be noticed by Lin Qingran and successfully terminated her contract with that rotten company with a chaotic system. Now that she had the opportunity to perform in front of such a great director, she should desperately seize this opportunity.

She clenched her fists and her eyes became firm. "Thank you, Miss Lin. I will do my best."

"Go ahead, I'll wait for you here."

"it is good."

-

Xu Xinzhu pushed open the door of Li Zongping's office, "Director Li..."

The man sitting on the sofa was Li Zongping, about fifty years old and with a square face.

"Are you Xu Xinzhu?"

Li Zongping looked at her, reacted, and greeted her with a smile, "Please come in."

Xu Xinzhu walked in with the script and sat down opposite Li Zongping.

There was another middle-aged man sitting in the office, who should be a member of the film production team.

The man bent down and poured a cup of tea and handed it to her, "Miss Xu, have some tea."

"Thank you."

The man looked at her, then turned to Li Zongping and said, "They look so similar. At first glance, I thought it was Xia Shu..."

Li Zongping also sighed, "Who says it's not true?"

Xu Xinzhu was a little nervous and sat very straight.

"Xiao Xu, I watched your audition video." Li Zongping looked at her with admiration, "You will have no problem playing the second female lead."

It was obviously good news, but Xu Xinzhu felt a little depressed.

The second female lead?

Although I know that given her status, being able to play the second female lead in Li Zongping's movie is already a great blessing.

But it’s still a bit regrettable. Didn’t she meet Lin Qingran’s expectations of her after all?

"Did you bring the script?" Li Zongping asked again.

"Bring it."

"Okay." Li Zongping also took out the script and turned to the page he folded. "Page 17, the part about the leading actress. Act it out for me."

Xu Xinzhu was stunned when he heard this.

"What's wrong? Can't you act?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Xu Xinzhu said quickly.

Li Zongping smiled and said frankly, "To be honest, Xiao Xu, I have high hopes for you. If you perform well, I can give you the leading female role."

-

"Shushu, the other female lead is just a newcomer, you don't have to take it to heart."

As soon as Xia Shu's nanny car arrived at the location indicated by Li Zongping, Gu Yichen called her.

"really?"

"Well, I heard it from Gu Yinan."

Gu Yichen did not deliberately check Xu Xinzhu, because he knew all the well-known movie stars in this circle.

As long as it is an unfamiliar name, it is not worth mentioning.

"Don't you, the heroine of the movie, have a twin sister? I guess Li Zongping was worried that it would be too hard for you to play two roles, so he found a partner for you to play the sister of your character in the play."

Xia Shu believed Gu Yichen's words without a doubt.

In this case, she was relieved.

She touched up her lipstick in the mirror, combed her hair, and whistled happily.

Her agent Ye Mei looked at her and reminded her, "Director Li is a person who pays great attention to the quality of actors and is quite picky. Miss Xia, you have been developing abroad before. This is your first time to return to China to work with Director Li. If he..."

Xia Shu interrupted impatiently, "Stop talking, I know what's going on."

She closed the cap on her lipstick, threw it into her bag and got out of the car.

There was a black car parked on the opposite side of the road, which looked familiar at first glance.

Xia Shu couldn't see the people in the car clearly, so she had to look away and walked towards the audition studio.
