After the divorce, I became a rich girl

The artists at Universal Pictures are all well aware of the rules set by Li Jiawei, so in their daily work, the screenwriter is slightly more important than the director in their minds.

After all, the screenwriter's opinions are likely to affect Li Jiawei's decision-making, and in turn affect their various arrangements in the crew.

Xie Xu was pushed by Wu Zhian, staggering forward, muttering: "Boss Li only asked you to go alone, it's not good for me to go with you, so I'd better not go." Boss Li usually took special care of him, and he really didn't want to offend Boss Li.

Wu Zhian ignored his concerns and insisted, "That's the role you created yourself. Who else can understand it better than you? You must go."

In the end, Xie Xu was reluctantly pulled onto the shuttle bus by Wu Zhian and headed towards the hotel.

In the hotel room, Li Jiawei was talking to Li Huaiying about replacing Xue Bin. As for the reason for replacing Xue Bin, she did not mention a word.

He just said, "We haven't found an actor to replace Xue Bin yet. When Director Wu arrives, let him see how your performance is. If Director Wu approves of you, the role will be yours!"

When Li Huaiying heard Li Jiawei say this, he was so excited that he could hardly control himself.

He knew the role played by Xue Bin very well. Although it was only a supporting role, his character was quite likable and he could have many rival scenes with the protagonist in the play. He could be called the golden supporting role in the whole play of "Jian Ge".

On weekdays, when he was taking a break in the crew, he would watch other people filming, and naturally he watched a lot of Xue Bin's scenes.

Over time, I have come to understand the plots and emotional context of those scenes.

When he first watched Xue Bin perform, he often wondered unconsciously how he would dig into the character's inner world and how he would show the character's charm through expressions, actions and lines if he were to play the role himself.

Although he felt that he was a little fanciful at the time, as Brother Hu said, the extras had never had the fantasy of becoming the protagonist!

However, he never dreamed that such a fantasy might come true one day.

Now, he actually got the chance to be interviewed and auditioned by the director himself. As long as his acting skills are up to par, can he really get the role as his cousin said?

For him, who had always been a supporting actor, this was undoubtedly an opportunity that would allow him to soar to fame. The excitement in his heart was like a flood that broke through a dam and could not be suppressed at all.

Li Huaiying looked at Li Jiawei with eyes full of gratitude and almost couldn't help kneeling down to her cousin.

He tried hard to suppress the excitement in his heart, and said firmly: "Sister, you can rest assured, I will definitely not embarrass you!"

Li Jiawei smiled and reached out to rub Li Huaiying's head. She was a dozen years older than Li Huaiying, and in her eyes, Li Huaiying was indeed still like a child.

She comforted him softly, "Don't be too nervous. It doesn't matter if you can't participate in "Jian Ge" this time. When you return to the company, I will arrange for a professional teacher to teach you. As long as you practice your acting skills well, there will be many opportunities in the future."

Li Huaiying nodded vigorously and said obediently, "I will listen to you."

Not long after, Wu Zhian and Xie Xu arrived. When Wu Zhian saw Li Huaiying in costume, he immediately had an impression of her.

This morning, the young man was hanging on the wire for such a long time without complaining, so his first impression of Li Huaiying was that this young man was very able to endure hardships.

Li Jiawei didn't expect Xie Xu to come along, but on second thought, she felt it was a good thing. After all, Xie Xu had a deeper understanding of the characters she wrote and had more say.

So, she smiled and said, "Director Wu, Teacher Xie, this is Li Huaiying. Could you two try out his acting to see if he can take over the role played by Xue Bin?"

Wu Zhian and Xie Xu looked at each other. Although Li Jiawei did not say much, the intimate attitude she inadvertently revealed towards Li Huaiying made them both know: the relationship between Mr. Li and this Li Huaiying must be unusual.

Wu Zhian smiled and said politely, "The person recommended by Mr. Li must have good acting skills."

Li Jiawei responded with a smile: "Director Wu, I am just making a recommendation. As for whether his acting skills are up to your standard and whether he is suitable for the role, it is up to you and Teacher Xie to decide. I will not give any opinion on it."

After hearing what Li Jiawei said, Wu Zhian and Xie Xu had a clue in their minds. Wu Zhian turned his gaze to Li Huaiying and asked, "Which art school did you graduate from?"

Li Huaiying smiled shyly and replied, "Director Wu, I didn't graduate from an art school. I studied computer-related majors in college."

After hearing what Li Huaiying said, Wu Zhian subconsciously lowered his expectations of him. However, out of politeness, he still had a gentle smile on his face and said, "Not having studied acting in a professional school is not a big problem.

In our industry, there are many actors who are not professionally trained, but they are still very successful.”

As he spoke, he glanced at Li Jiawei and flattered her, saying, "Take Xiao Yi, who is very popular now, for example. He didn't graduate from an art school either, but he has won almost all the awards in China. So, for an actor, talent sometimes plays a crucial role."

Then, Wu Zhian turned to look at Xie Xu, who had been staring at Li Huaiying, and asked, "Teacher Xie, how about we start the audition? Which clip do you think is more suitable?"

In fact, as soon as Xie Xu saw Li Huaiying, he was quite satisfied with his appearance.

To be honest, he always thought Xue Bin was too handsome, even a little feminine. Fortunately, Xue Bin's acting skills were pretty good, so he didn't comment too much on it before.

But when he saw Li Huaiying's heroic appearance, coupled with the attire of a Jiange disciple, Xie Xu had to admit that, judging from his image alone, Li Huaiying was more in line with the character he created than Xue Bin.

However, Li Huaiying is not a professional actor, so the quality of his acting skills is still unknown.

Just like the talent Director Wu mentioned just now, in the acting industry, no matter they graduated from professional colleges or changed careers halfway like Li Huaiying, there are so many newcomers coming in every year, but how many of them are truly talented?

There are even fewer people who can be compared with Xiao Yi, almost one in a million. Talent is really a mysterious thing. Sometimes when people say you have talent, it seems that you really have it; on the contrary, when they say you don’t, it seems that you really lack this trait.

So, after hearing Wu Zhian's suggestion, Xie Xu took out his mobile phone and started searching through the folders.

He had saved a lot of scripts before, and he quickly found a performance that was not that difficult. After taking a screenshot, he handed the phone to Li Huaiying.
