It's hard to be a stepmother

Wen Jing didn't interrupt the whole process this time, and only after Director Chen finished speaking, she smiled and said, "Director Chen, don't rush to praise, and then confirm, after all, Xiao Chen is 26 years old this year, he You have to start acting at the age of 16, and the age span is large."

I glanced at Wen Jing, Wen Jing only blinked at me, she returned to him what Director Chen said just now, Director Chen asked me to make up and change clothes to play this age, but I was worried.

Director Chen was taken aback when she said this: "He is 26 this year? Didn't you tell me that he is in his early twenties?"

Wen Jing stretched his hands towards him: "He is 26. Although he has a young birthday and was born at the end of the year, his actual age is 24 years old this year, but we are 26 years old on Baidu Encyclopedia. Director Chen, you should think about it, if the audience complains about his age It’s not good if it doesn’t fit the character image.”

Director Chen scratched his hair at this moment. He probably didn't expect that Wen Jing's mouth was so powerful. Seeing that he didn't speak, Wen Jing continued: "Director Chen, you know that audiences nowadays are sharp-eyed. They want actors If you have acting skills, but also conform to the character image, the most taboo thing is to act as a young girl or a young man when you are too old."

Director Chen coughed at what she said: "Mr. Wen, I saw that he is really 16 years old. If you didn't mention his age just now, I really thought he was at most eighteen or nineteen years old."

I stood without saying a word, Wen Jing can handle it alone, Director Chen will not be ignorant of my age, but because Wen Jing has specified my age in advance, it makes me look much younger than my actual age now.

Director Chen's worries were dispelled, and he coughed several times: "Your artist's face is too cheap."

Seeing what Wen Jing wanted to say, he hurriedly said: "Boss Wen, you are right. Now filming is only for word of mouth, so I am afraid that the audience will criticize me. But I can't just change the protagonist after a few episodes. You can't watch a play along a single line. The most important thing is that this play is different from others. Although this is a teenager, he got married and started a business at the age of 13, not to mention that he played an emperor. It is even more important to have his demeanor, to be calm and dignified, not to show emotions, I am afraid that young children will not be able to act."

Wen Jing also echoed him and said: "No, acting skills are honed, how can you act without certain experience, not to mention that any drama needs someone with acting skills, popularity and fame, it is really hard to find, I I can also understand Director Chen."

Wen Jing made progress by retreating, step by step, and finally talked about the facts. Director Chen couldn't be picky. He laughed: "So I want to thank Mr. Wen and Mr. Xiao for solving my big problem! Mr. Xiao performed. I think The way I want it!"

Wen Jing looked at him and smiled: "Director Chen, are you sure? You can't because of my face."

Director Chen seemed to be really satisfied. Once he was happy, he didn't care about face anymore, and said to himself, "If I can't trust your people, Mr. Wen, who else can I trust? Besides, Mr. Wen, you are helping me save money." an actor."

Seeing that the matter had been decided, Wen Jing pinned her sideburns and hair behind her ears, looked at me and said, "Director Chen can trust me, I am very happy, but I have such confidence because I believe in my artist, and I know my An artist weighs a few catties, and we rely on our strength. Now, Director Chen, you have also seen his acting skills, and his makeup is impeccable, right?"

Director Chen looked at me and smiled: "Mr. Xiao, your manager is really good. I haven't said a few words yet, she's all back to me."

I also looked at Wen Jing with a smile: "No, I don't dare to refute her on weekdays."

Wen Jing stared at me, and Director Chen stretched out his hand to me: "Thank you for coming to audition today, and I look forward to our cooperation."

Saying goodbye to Director Chen, we walked back. On the way, I boasted to her: "Miss Wen is very eloquent."

Wen Jing said: "Didn't you just say that I am a tigress?"

I also smiled and said: "That is also a tigress with good eloquence."

Wen Jing patted me, and I thanked her sternly: "Thank you these days. I know that I was not the best candidate for Director Chen at first."

Wen Jing only chuckled: "You can do it now. Besides, you think Director Chen is stupid. He said he wanted to make a historical drama and he wanted to work hard, but he didn't want to be unknown! So we didn't choose He, rather he chose you."

Wen Jing clasped his hands, raised his legs, and said like an old Buddha: "Besides, he is like a human being, and he has a good relationship with Director Lu. Do you think he doesn't know your backstage?"

I thought about my backstage, and was silent for a moment. I didn't know how to raise it, so I changed the subject: "Then this matter is sure?"

Wen Jing nodded: "You rest at home for a few days. I don't think it will be a few days before you sign the contract. Once the contract is signed, you will be busy soon."

Both of us thought very well, thinking that it would be a matter of course and ripeness, but unexpectedly, the cooked duck also flew away.

When Wen Jing called me, I was memorizing my lines. After I got through, her first words were: "Xiao Chen, something happened. The actor of "The Great Qin Empire" has changed."

She asked a question at the beginning, but I didn't realize it for a while, so I asked, "Substitution? But, they, didn't they take all my makeup photos?"

What I said was a bit incoherent, because it was too unreasonable. After the audition that day, I also took a few photos of the makeup trial. Although it was not official, Director Chen also used it for publicity.

Wen Jing took a deep breath on the phone: "Today, Mr. Wang told me that Chen Chu has been appointed as the leading actor in this drama."

Wen Jing wouldn't have called me if the news wasn't accurate. I sat down holding my phone and didn't speak for a while.

Unable to hear me, Wen Jing asked me on the other end of the phone: "Xiao Chen, are you okay? Don't worry, we have other things, we have to hold our breath." She paused and comforted me: "As long as Mr. Huo is around, there will always be better scripts."

I glanced at the person in the mirror, and it looked like a pale face.

I silently twitched the corners of my mouth to the person in the mirror. I was a little impatient, and I couldn't tell Wen Jing that I had a bad relationship with my backstage.

And this play is my turning point.I've already lost my backstage for this drama.I froze the relationship, Huo Hanchuan won't do anything for me anymore.

I told Wen Jing, "I'm fine, I just thought about the reason."

"Did Mr. Huo not let you take pictures?" Wen Jing asked a little nervously over there.

"No."

If Huo Hanchuan didn't want me to make a movie, he would be more straightforward. He wouldn't ask me to audition for a few days to fix my makeup, and he wouldn't delay until now, and then go out of his way to talk to Mr. Wang about changing people. He just said that I don't need to make movies anymore OK.And I don't deserve his effort.

Wen Jing was also a little puzzled at the moment: "Then...why did Mr. Wang say that the investor wants to change the protagonist?"

"Is there Cheng Dong from Nuozhou among the investors this time?"

I asked Wen Jing, I didn't offend the investor, but I offended the investor's fiancee.

Tat for tat is very fair, Xiao Junhe wants me to taste the feeling of making wedding dresses for others.

So let me audition, take makeup photos, and think that everything is under control, and then hit back, let me taste the taste of nothing.

"Wait a minute, let me take a look." Wen Jing's voice was flipping through the documents over there, and after a while she said: "Yes, Nuozhou Investment Group is still the main investor, on [Xianyan]."

I took a long breath, Huo Hanchuan even invested?

But in this case, I can't shoot anymore, so what he invests in is... Forget it, I thought about a better place for Huo Hanchuan, this drama is our company's annual drama, and it will definitely be very popular , then the [Xianyan] brand exposure rate will be high, which is not considered a loss.

While I was silent for a while, Wen Jing was a little anxious on the other end of the phone: "What's going on?"

I was thinking about how to tell her that Cheng Mingxi said that day that he would invest in my drama, but Xiao Junhe is his fiancée, and even if he wants to make money, he needs to think about the person his fiancée hates, and he knows what is more important.He is an investor and even a shareholder, so he has the right to change roles temporarily.

I told Wen Jing, "I can't go to this show, and I can't play a supporting role." Let's not talk about whether my current coffee position can play a supporting role, but Xiao Junhe won't let me appear in this show.

Wen Jing said hesitantly on the other end of the phone: "You have conflicts with Mr. Cheng? But before that, everything was fine?"

"Mr. Cheng's fiancée is my sister."

I told Wen Jing that Wen Jing didn't speak for a while, she knew that I was from the Xiao family, and she also knew my status in the Xiao family.

I heard her take a deep breath on the other end of the phone, she must have been very speechless, the grievances of wealthy families are more exciting than TV dramas, after she took a deep breath, she said: "Then why don't you tell Mr. Huo about it?"

I shook my head, only to realize that she couldn't see it, so I told her, "Needless to say. Let's choose another script."

What Wen Jing meant was to ask Huo Hanchuan to help me back up, just because of such a trivial matter, I felt like I couldn't open my mouth.

In the past, I was concerned about my face and didn't open my mouth, let alone now, my legs didn't even open, so what face would I have to open my mouth?

Wen Jing was slightly silent on the other end of the phone, but she didn't ask me what happened. After a while, she smiled and said to me: "That's fine, we have other scripts, which I told you before That book is also a very popular IP, so you should try online dramas. Now online dramas are also very popular."

The script that Wen Jing mentioned is also good. The detective is a double male protagonist, that is, a same-sex drama.The current web dramas are very popular, and many people have become popular because of this. The current hero of "The Great Qin Empire", Chen Chu, became popular because of the web dramas.

It's just that he's different from me, he's not gay, so he can act without any burden, and because of this, he has a lot of fans, girls like to watch dramas, like to watch two male protagonists being ambiguous, but unfortunately I'm married Homosexuality, the more affectionate the male protagonists in the same play, the more disgusting they are.

Wen Jing doesn't know what I think, she thinks I can get out of this way.

I think I can't let go of my self-esteem, the inside is already unbearable, so I pay more attention to the outside.

I took a deep breath and said to her, "Okay, I'll check it out in a few days."

I didn't say it to death, because when there is no filming, nothing is considered.

Wen Jing also smiled and said: "Okay, don't worry, you can watch more online dramas these days, I recommend you a few, they are all pretty good, and the ratings are also very good. You just watch it first, don't decide anything yet .”

She was comforting me and not letting me think about my failed "The Great Qin Empire".

After hanging up the phone with her, I looked down at the script, which made my hands wrinkled for a while. What I said to Wen Jing was plain, but in fact it was completely opposite.

I looked at the gloomy look in the mirror, and the person with dark eyes twitched the corner of his mouth slightly.Before answering this call, the person in the mirror was still the confident and ambitious hero. I also told myself that I am the hero of this drama. I have a lot in common with the people in this script. , I have also suffered countless hardships, and I will definitely stand at the top one day like him.

Haha, how this mirror recorded my hard work a few days ago, and how it records my failure now, comparing the two, it’s okay to be ridiculous.

I couldn't help laughing in the mirror, if it wasn't for the lack of sound, I'm afraid Huo Baize would have to laugh.

Both sides are empty, nothing.Haha, that's really good.

I buried my head on my knees and laughed silently. When I couldn't breathe in my chest, I looked in the mirror and lit a cigarette.

I can smoke, but I never smoked in the past because of my character design.Whether it is alcohol or tobacco in this world, it can numb pain and temporarily relieve depression.

Xiao Junhe sent me a WeChat message: Although you are very similar to the characters in the play: you are a lowly woman, a prostitute, shameless, and a check and balance, but unfortunately, novels are novels and cannot save reality, and you are not an emperor through the ages , you don't have a real backer, do you think you can cover up the truth by acting a love scene in front of people?

Xiao Chen, how does it feel to be happy in the end?

The author has something to say:

Judging from the comments, the small theater has collapsed across the board, so I won't write in the future.
