lark

The next afternoon, He Shan and Wei Jing came to pick Lin Nan up for an interview in the studio.

Director Xiang Zhisen previously had two star-studded dramas with good reputation and high ratings. Currently, this drama is a super-A web drama customized by the platform, and the main characters are very sought-after.Lin Nan came to meet two characters, one male third and the other male second, and the two roles were very different.

The third male role is similar to his previous role, affectionate and gentle, with a strong heart, basically the heroine's protective knight, and his performance is quite fan-favorite.The male second belongs to the controversial type, gloomy, deep and taciturn. He grew up without father and mother, and was brought up by his master with a sea of ​​kindness.After the death of the master, he became an enemy of the upright, and eventually practiced evil skills by mistake, and was killed by the male protagonist. He is a villain who is both righteous and evil.

Wei Jing has confidence in him, and He Shan has no pressure at all, leaving Lin Nan feeling nervous in his heart.

Casting studio is in the office building, mixed among a bunch of modeling agencies.Before he walked in, Lin Nan smelled a smell of food, looked through the glass partition, and saw four or five people inside were eating.

Director Xiang Zhisen has a little hair loss in his forties, and he is chubby and very amiable.He raised his head when he heard the knock on the door, squinted his eyes and looked at the person at the door.

"Lin Nan? It's so early."

Three candidates were made appointments between [-]:[-] and [-]:[-] on a first-come, first-served basis. Lin Nan showed his correct attitude, and after discussing with Wei Jing, he decided to make sure that the time for [-]:[-] was up.

"Hi director, I'm Lin Nan." He was wearing a plain shirt today, and He Shan held the coat outside. "Am I early? I interrupted your dinner."

"It's not that you came early, it's that the takeaway was late." The director smiled and pointed at the lunch box with his chopsticks, "Have you eaten yet, do you want some?"

"I've eaten." Lin Nan also smiled back at him, "I'll go to the side and wait."

"No, no, no." The director beckoned him to sit across from him, "If you don't mind, let's chat while eating, which saves time."

Lin Nan nodded and sat on the other side of the table.The assistant directors and planners who were originally on the same side with him got up one after another, and moved to the opposite side with their lunch boxes, forming a row.A few people were still eating casually, but the atmosphere suddenly became tense.Wei Jing and He Shan sat down on the folding chairs in the corner of the room, knowing that the interview would start from this moment.

Xiang Zhisen didn't seem to have the airs of a big director, he didn't even bring his laptop, he sucked red oil fans and said, "Have you read the project book?"

Lin Nan sat upright, with his hands flat on his knees, "I have read it. I have also read the biographies and the scripts of the three episodes in advance."

The project book was sent in advance. It introduced the team, the outline of the story, and the costumes. The sophistication of the production can be seen with the naked eye. After reading it carefully, Lin Nan liked the role of the male second, and felt that the integrity of the male third was better. Relatively less facial makeup.

"Have you finished reading the scripts of the three episodes? It's pretty good." After the director finished his polite words, he began to get straight to the point.He wiped his mouth with a tissue, "To be honest, I didn't know you before, Gao Jian strongly recommended it to me. He told me that you have good acting skills and a high degree of cooperation, so I know you."

Gao Jian was the director of Group B of the last film. Lin Nan never expected that he would recommend himself to other directors without saying a word. Naturally, he was extremely grateful, and leaning on his knees, he said, "I will make a special trip to thank Director Gao for the recommendation Compliments. In fact, Director Gao is overrated, and I still have a lot of shortcomings. The last film was thanks to him for guiding me."

Xiang Zhisen looked up at him, "Young people know that modesty is a good thing." Then he asked casually: "Since you have read the biographies of the characters, let's talk about your understanding of the two characters."

Someone beside the director is bowing his head to record.Lin Nan turned around and took his backpack and found his old notebook, A5 size, with a fountain pen pinned to it.

The director and the producer exchanged glances: "Have you brought your homework?"

The book is Lin Nan's homework for this drama these days, analyzing the relationship line, growth path, plot development ultimate goal of the two characters one by one, and the understanding of this character from a subjective perspective.During the interview, there were quite a few young actors with homework, but there were not many such as Lin Nan who wrote densely filled dozens of pages.

"It's not homework..." Lin Nan smiled embarrassedly, "I was afraid that I wouldn't remember it, so I wrote it down. These two characters give me very different feelings. One is growing up smoothly. When you get up, the other is a difficult journey and gradually loses mental balance. Let me waste your time, let's talk about it separately..."

After stumbling for nearly 10 minutes, Lin Nan finally finished his understanding of the role. Wei Jing and He Shan were dumbfounded when they heard it. It was not that he was surprised that he worked so hard, but that he said so many words at once.

At first, the director listened and picked the peanuts in the Kung Pao Chicken, but then he put down his chopsticks and nodded occasionally.

"That's right." Xiang Zhisen said, "I understand it almost as well as I do, and I have a little more of my own opinion."

"Thank you director." "So which character do you think you are closer to?"

"This..." Lin Nan thought for a while, "Let's be the second male."

The director smiled knowingly: "Like playing villains?"

Lin Nan shook his head: "Like him, I usually don't talk much, and I feel more involved in mental activities." In fact, there is another point that he didn't say, and the growth process of both of them was the same.

After chatting for a while, another candidate arrived and stood outside the door without coming in.The director nodded towards the door, then turned to Lin Nan and said, "How about this, you try both roles, and take a set of makeup photos for each."

He Shan in the corner straightened her back excitedly, and grabbed Wei Jing's leg hard, causing Wei Jing to almost exclaim.

Xiang Zhisen beckoned to the director's assistant again: "Synchronize with the actors about the specific time of auditions and costumes."

Lin Nan stood up and thanked him, and the group of three walked out of the house. Wei Jing communicated with the director's assistant for a while, and then took Lin Nan away.

As soon as he entered the elevator, He Shan screamed softly: "It's so exciting, fortunately you have prepared all the director's questions in advance."

Lin Nan gave her a shush, and said with a smile, "Fortunately, the director didn't make things difficult for me. He only asked basic questions."

"You answered very well!" Wei Jing's face was full of joy, "I see that the director is very satisfied with you, and one of these two roles must be taken!"

"I haven't auditioned yet." Lin Nan himself felt pretty good, but he didn't dare to make an assertion, "I can't tell yet."

He Shan pursed her lips and said, "Why isn't the audition scheduled for today, we have to come out again in the cold weather."

Wei Jing glanced at her, "You're the one who chose, and Lin Nan didn't say anything. From now on, I have to call on everyone in our group to learn from Lin Nan. During the interview, I will bring my handwritten things to impress the director. Lin Nan, can you lend me a copy of your notes, I want to use them as a model."

Lin Nan couldn't refuse such a request, so she could only hum slightly.He Shan bumped him with her shoulder, "I didn't expect you to be quite witty. Say, when did you prepare the notes?"

"I started writing last week." Lin Nan said, "I just wanted to deepen my understanding, and then I thought, I wrote everything, so I just brought it here, which is also a means of fighting for it."

"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm." He Shan deeply agreed, "I admire you so much, you are courageous and resourceful, and hit the red heart directly!"

As soon as the elevator door opened, Lin Nan didn't care about talking, and walked ahead quickly, rushing to the location Qi Yubai told him.The interview took a little longer than expected. He was afraid that Qi Yubai would be anxious to wait, and it was too late to find a reason to dismiss Wei Jing and He Shan.Fortunately, these two people also knew about his relationship with Qi Yubai, so they had nothing to hide.

Beside the concrete pillar in the E area of ​​the parking lot, Lin Nan saw the familiar Rolls-Royce, and Qi Yubai was smoking in the smoking area not far away.He was wearing a dark long coat today, and he held the cigarette with his fingers very smartly. When he saw Lin Nan coming from the automatic door, he pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray on the trash can.

Lin Nan walked so fast that Wei Jing and He Shan could hardly keep up.As soon as he saw Qi Yubai, he couldn't help but his eyebrows and eyes were filled with joy, and he was panting slightly when he walked in front of Qi Yubai, and said, "Mr. Qi, have you been here for a long time?"

There was only a short piece of smoke left in the ashtray, but Qi Yubai said, "Just arrived."

Wei Jing and He Shan who were behind were stunned when they saw Qi Yubai, and He Shan even opened his mouth and said, "You are Qi—" Wei Jing elbowed him honestly, swallowing the second half of the words in stomach.

Lin Nan looked back at the two of them shyly, pointed to the man in front of him and said, "This is Boss Qi, my...my friend."

Wei Jing stepped forward and stretched out her hand to Qi Yubai: "Mr. Qi, I'm Lin Nan's executive manager Wei Jing, and this is his assistant, He Shan."

Qi Yubai raised his eyebrows and shook Wei Jing's hand back, "I often hear Lin Nan talking about the two of you."

He Shan was originally short, but she looked even smaller in front of Qi Yubai, not to mention that Qi Yubai was wearing a tall coat today.She seemed to be forced back half a step by the aura of Mr. Qi in front of her. She reached behind Lin Nan and pulled his clothes. When Lin Nan turned around, she approached him and whispered: "His voice is so nice, no wonder you like……"

Lin Nan blushed, "Don't talk nonsense, be careful not to be heard by him."

When did he tell He Shan that he liked Qi Yubai?I don't even remember.

"Would you like to have dinner together?" Qi Yubai looked at Lin Nan, "Zhang Hong has made a reservation at the restaurant."

"No, no, no." Wei Jing quickly waved her hand, "We still have something to go back to Xingying, President Qi should take Lin Nan to dinner."

Lin Nan glanced at the two of them, then turned to look at Qi Yubai, pursed his lips and did not express his opinion. "Let's go..." Wei Jing pulled He Shan's arm, "Let's watch."

The two said goodbye to Qi Yubai and Lin Nan, turned around and walked towards the taxi parking area, the conversation was still faintly heard: "Who is Zhang Hong?" "It's Mr. Qi's secretary, during the annual meeting you Haven’t you seen him before? He’s handsome and married.”, “Oh oh”.

Seeing Qi Yubai take off his coat and throw it in the back row, then opened the door and got into the car, Lin Nan rubbed his nose in embarrassment, and quickly sat in the passenger seat.

Qi Yubai didn't drive immediately, but turned to him and asked, "How was the interview?"

"It's okay." Lin Nan really relaxed in front of Qi Yubai, "I'm so nervous that I can't breathe, my palms are all sweaty..."

He held up his palm to show the man, as if his heart was still beating too fast.

Qi Yubai glanced at his hands and said with a smile, "Isn't Xiang Zhisen a nice person, did you make things difficult for you?"

"No..." Lin Nan said, "I have poor mental quality."

Qi Yubai started the car, and said casually: "You are like this, very fragile." There was an intimacy in his tone that couldn't be covered, "It's just a character."

Lin Nan was heartbroken when he heard that, and turned his head to stare at Qi Yubai's side face, imprinting his appearance today into his mind, and then said, "You can't say that, it's very difficult to play a role you like. It's hard, that's why I'm so nervous..."

He just wanted to tell Qi Yubai about this nervousness.

"It seems that you really like being an actor." Qi Yubai said.

"I told you a long time ago, but you don't believe it..."

"I believe it now." Qi Yubai joked, "You have the self-cultivation of an actor."
