Reflection

Xia Cen took the contract handed to him by the head teacher, and was surprised to see the content inside.

"This is……"

"Xia Cen, I have taught students for more than ten years. There are many people who have received contracts from film and television companies for just one play. But many of them are rare among thousands of students. I hope you can cherish this opportunity. Come on, show your talent." The head teacher looked optimistic about Xia Cen, got up and came to her, "From the first class I gave you, I felt your talent in understanding acting. The purpose is to film, but you have to know that solid basic skills are more important.”

Xia Cen knew that the teacher in charge was afraid that she would squander her talent, and she wanted her to study steadily before going out to film.Xia Cen was very grateful for this kindness, but she didn't want to waste any more time.

"I will not slacken my studies."

"I've read the contract, it's a big production, so I don't want you to miss the opportunity. It states that there will be a month of training before the character is ordered to shoot. Your role needs to be auditioned and is yet to be determined. The shooting cycle of the full episode is scheduled to be four Month." Seeing that Xia Cen was listening to himself while flipping through the contract, the class teacher continued: "You go to the audition first, and I will give you a fake role if you get the role, but before joining the group, I don't care how tight the training content is, the big classes are all the same. Don't delay, you go to communicate with the crew, and I don't care where you are in the world for the school's big exam after joining the crew, you have to come back early to prepare for the exam, understand?"

Xia Cen had heard about the class teacher in front of her a long time ago, thinking about Ni Xian's evaluation of her, a serious and gentle old lady.People in the circle say that she is a gentle, rigorous and discerning teacher. Most of the students who come out of her hands are currently popular stars. One after another, there will be one or two in almost every session. A well-known actor.

After listening to the above few words, Xia Cen became more sure, and responded seriously: "Understood, I will not let you down."

"Well, let's get ready."

……

On the way back, Xia Cen couldn't believe that Ni Xian would send such a contract to the school. Was it because of her excellent acting skills, or because of that bear biscuit?

Will it be that simple?

Standing under the shade of the tree, Xia Cen looked up at the light outside the branches, and suddenly felt conflicted.But no matter what, this contract in hand is the best springboard for entering the film and television industry.

Since it is a springboard, Xia Cen will not let it go, not just a matter of time, but also because this circle is not friendly to women.The restrictions on roles, restrictions on rules, and age restrictions are really unfair compared to male actors.Even if he has won the Best Actress, how many awards he has won, and how much popularity he has, he is not sure that he is completely independent in this circle.

Because you will be peeped and missed when you are under the stars for a day.The light ones are linguistic, the heavy ones...

That's why many young actresses choose to marry alone as a safe haven after they become famous.

Wei Lingxin refused, got banned for two years, and was also compromised. Facing public opinion and strange eyes, it was like endless torture.

Ah.

With a slight smile, with a trace of ridicule and sarcasm, Xia Cen raised his hand to support the rough bark, the deep blue sky reflected in his eyes, since it is a new start, no matter how difficult it is, he must stick to his heart.

……

Xia Cen, who went to Wantian Entertainment for an audition the next day, suddenly wanted to laugh when he saw the role that the assistant director gave him, and this smile was specially for the assistant director to see.

"What's wrong, you're so happy just looking at the role you auditioned for?"

"I'm just a sophomore. Is such a deep role really suitable for me?" Although Xia Cen wanted to act more like a college student, he was telling the truth.After all, she is not Wei Lingxin at this time, but student Xia Cen.

And because it was a drama invested by Ni Xian's company, Xia Cen would think more about it. This role needs to be played from her teens to her forties... Even if she has this acting skills, this face can't hold up.

"I know what you want to express. There were indeed two or three roles for you to try before, but Mr. Ni wanted you to play the role of the young heroine, so he vacated the rest of the roles." The assistant director explained patiently After all, this drama will be strongly promoted next summer, so many second- and third-tier actors rely on their connections, and they want to grab the script when they are looking for someone. I didn't expect Mr. Ni to give such a sought-after role to a sophomore student. He smiled and asked, "By the way, do you know Mr. Ni?"

Xia Cen could hear the meaning of these words, but he didn't want to deny it, because for him now, this big tree that protects him is Ni Xian.

"We've met a few times."

The assistant director nodded knowingly. People who can get along in this entertainment circle more or less have some background, and they have always met Xiao Ni a few times. In addition to this temperament and appearance, I am afraid that they are also someone's little girl. Princess.With a conclusion, the assistant director's expression suddenly became more colorful, and he took out the temporary script and handed it to Xia Cen, and raised his finger with a smile on his face, "Go straight from here to the end, and the place where there are many people on the fourth floor is the audition venue."

Xia Cen took the temporary script, said thank you, and left quickly.

The assistant director graciously took out the walkie-talkie and informed the people upstairs, saying: Xia Cen is here.

……

As soon as he reached the fourth floor, he heard the sound of other actors auditioning, and there was a long queue. Xia Cen was at the end with a temporary script and waited slowly.

Not long after, someone shouted with a loudspeaker: "Xia Cen, is Xia Cen there?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Cen immediately leaned out and said, "I'm here."

"come in."

The people in front of her will naturally lock her in, watch her go in, and discuss who this person is in private.

The director of this drama, Wang Yinan, is one of the directors that Wei Lingxin has worked with. The TV dramas produced always have a taste of a movie. The two people next to him are the first assistant director and the producer. They are sitting in the corner behind him. The person in question is Ni Xian.

Wang Yinan flipped through Xia Cen's information, as well as her temporary script, and said seriously: "You only have 5 minutes to study your script, and then start your performance."

Based on previous cooperation experience, Wang Yinan's tone and attitude seemed a little dissatisfied.Xia Cen could guess about this dissatisfaction.One was the role he held in his hand. He had already chosen it in his heart, but Ni Xian changed it temporarily.The second is that he doesn't like to deal with inexperienced people and thinks it is a waste of time.The sulking of the above two points cannot be directly angry at Ni Xian, but can only find faults in himself.

The time given was rushed, but it was enough for Xia Cen.The content of the provisional script is very short, most of which are descriptions of scenes and emotions. There are only seven lines of lines, six short and one long. Short lines test the basic skills of an actor.It can be said that if it is not an actor with enough experience, there is no way to do this.

It seems that Director Wang is determined to let himself give up this role.

Just after 5 minutes, I heard Wang Yinan's voice, "It's time, start your performance."

Xia Cen put down the script in his hand, and he was already in the role when he raised his eyes, even though there were staff all around, and actors queuing up to audition were still standing at the door.Even though she was wearing modern attire, at this moment she was like an ancient person in a certain hall, showing the aura that this character should have.

She tilted her body, as if someone was whispering something in her ear, a simple "Oh?" has already made the director's eyes shine, followed by Xia Cen's light and elegant smile and eyes to the air, as if there was something real There was a person standing there, "Really?" He paused for nearly two seconds, the corners of his eyes drooped slightly, his emotions were brewing, and there was a genuine smile in his eyes, as if the long-awaited thing had finally come true, "It's great ...Continue to tell Bengong..."

In just four sentences, she has already told the people around her what happened to her just now and who she is.

After watching all of Xia Cen's performances, Wang Yinan felt unsatisfied. He subconsciously looked back at Ni Xian who was sitting behind him, and nodded to indicate that the actor was well-decided.

"Yes." Wang Yinan changed his previous attitude, "What is your opinion on this role?"

"Forbearance, great forbearance, climb up step by step."

Wang Yinan nodded, "You go back first, the staff will call you if there is news."

Xia Cen withdrew his expression, stood up straight and bowed politely, "Thank you."

A few hours had passed since the selection of actors. Wang Yinan took out the actor information he was satisfied with and went to the office to discuss with Ni Xian.

"Mr. Ni." After Wang Yinan greeted her, she said to the man next to her, "Producer Liu is here too. These are the actors' information that I have prepared. Do you want to have a look again?"

"I trust Director Wang's vision." After signing, Ni Xian handed the document to Supervisor Liu, "Please ask Xiao Chen to reserve a private room for me in Rongguang Pavilion, seven o'clock tonight."

"Okay, I understand Mr. Ni, you should do your work first."

Knowing that Ni Xian attaches great importance to this drama, Wang Yinan personally introduced her the arrangements and ideas of these important roles.

Ni Xian nodded, "Director Wang is more professional than me in this area, so you can decide."

"My major has been accumulated over the years. Mr. Ni's vision really surprised me. Xia Cen is a good actor."

Ni Xian crossed his fingers, looked at Wang Yinan and joked, "That's why the temporary script is so simple? To be honest, I just read it, and even I couldn't prepare it so well in 5 minutes."

Wang Yinan smiled slightly awkwardly, but after being reminded by Ni Xian, he realized: "By the way, Mr. Ni, do you feel that the rhythm of Xia Cen's performance is a bit like... Ling Xin."

It is something in the director's heart to watch the actors' play. Every outstanding actor is like the work of God, unique. For Wei Lingxin, who has worked with him twice, he is even more impressed.

Ni Xian didn't realize this without mentioning it. From the first time she saw Xia Cen acting, she felt very kind, so she remembered her.Now that Wang Yinan said it like this, the handling of some details really has the shadow of Ling Xin.

Seeing Ni Xian's ecstatic expression, Wang Yinan thought it was his own words that made her unhappy, and coughed lightly, "Sorry, I'm talking too much. Well... Now that the actors are finalized, I'll let them start preparing .”

Ni Xian came back to his senses, nodded his head lightly, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

When Ni Xian was the only one left in the office, Xia Cen's acting skills circulated in his mind like a slide show.In particular, the rhythm of the emotional transition should not be as perfect as the second Wei Lingxin's control.

Xiao Chen, who was calling to make a reservation at the door, watched Ni Xian come out of the office with a bag, covered the phone and asked, "Mr. Ni, do you want to send you a car?"

Ni Xian ignored it and left directly.

She took the car keys from the driver and drove to the production center. She wanted to watch Xia Cen's acting again.

The author has something to say: no matter what the appearance is, the sense of familiarity exists.
