Chapter 438: Audition Ends
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Jing Yao had practiced this scene many times and found the feeling over and over again. 17-year-old Xiaokui and 27-year-old Xiaokui. 10 years were enough to make a person change drastically.
Jing Yao lowered her head slightly. When she looked up again, the feeling she gave off had changed.
Her clothes and appearance did not change, but she seemed to have aged a few years in an instant. She would no longer look at others purely.
Chen Xin looked at Jing Yao in a daze. In this scene, Xiaokui was drinking with her friends on the rooftop, chatting and laughing with others with ease.
However, when she stood alone by the rooftop, she seemed to have become the Xiaokui who looked out of place in this city when she first arrived.
Her ears were filled with laughter and the sound of glasses clinking, but her heart was a desert. There was not a single blade of grass, only the cold wind.
Chen Xin looked at Jing Yao in a daze. He knew that Jing Yao and Liang Xun were preparing for their wedding recently. They were very happy, which could be seen from Shen Yu’s words.
Chen Xin gave Jing Yao a chance to audition, but he didn’t have much hope. He didn’t expect Jing Yao to perform this role so well.
There were many auditions today, and there were a few who performed well in the beginning, including Jiang Ying.
Jiang Ying’s acting skills were not outstanding, but she was indeed ranked in the top three among the auditions. She had many skills in acting.
Moreover, Jiang Ying had been in the limelight recently and was very popular. At least this movie would not lose money if he chose her.
She had acting skills and popularity. Before Jing Yao came in, Chen Xin had actually been thinking about the feasibility of choosing Jiang Ying.
Jiang Ying was not bad, but he was still hesitating.
Sometimes, Chen Xin’s casting did not only depend on the actor’s acting skills, but also his feelings. Was this actor compatible with this role?
This scene wasn’t long. Without anyone to cooperate with Jing Yao, she could only imagine the scene alone.
According to the script’s settings, the last scene was Xiaokui looking down expressionlessly.
Jing Yao had thought about this scene many times and even found many rooftops that she thought fit the situation at that time.
The training class she went to during this period of time was still a little useful. She had not systematically learned acting in the past. She had figured out many techniques bit by bit.
After this systematic training, she could use more skills to play this role.
However, she actually did not have much confidence in this last scene. Xiaokui’s mentality was too complicated. If she wanted to act it perfectly, she had to understand this role fully.
No matter how much Jing Yao analyzed, she still felt that she had not completely penetrated Xiaokui’s heart.
She had heard from Shen Yu that this script was based on a novel. Jing Yao tried to find the original novel, but she couldn’t find it at all.
After she finished acting, Chen Xin and the man beside him did not speak.
Jing Yao panicked.
After the room fell silent, she felt the air in the entire space freeze.
“Your name is Jing Yao?” Li Hong suddenly broke the silence.
Jing Yao nodded and looked at Chen Xin in confusion.
Chen Xin glanced at Li Hong. There were so many interviewees just now, but Li Hong’s face was expressionless the entire time.
However, he kept looking at Jing Yao during the interview and was in a daze from time to time.
Chen Xin could roughly guess what it meant when Li Hong took the initiative to make a request.
Facing Jing Yao’s puzzled gaze, Chen Xin took the initiative to introduce him. “This is Li Hong, the author of this drama.”
Jing Yao was a little surprised, but she felt that it made sense. After all, according to Chen Xin’s personality, if Li Hong was the investor, he would definitely not allow Li Hong to sit here.
“What do you think of Xiaokui?” Li Hong asked before Jing Yao could greet him.
Jing Yao was instantly stumped. She did not expect Li Hong to ask this.
She thought that he would ask her about her understanding of the role. This question seemed to be asking the same content, but there was still a difference.
Before Jing Yao could think, the answer automatically popped up in her mind.
“She’s a very lonely person.” This sentence really appeared in Jing Yao’s mind naturally.
Li Hong’s pupils constricted slightly. He opened his mouth to say something, but he could not say anything in the end. He only lowered his head slightly and did not speak again.
Jing Yao looked at him, not understanding what was wrong with him.
Chen Xin glanced at Li Hong beside him, then at Jing Yao. He sighed imperceptibly in his heart and said, “Go back first. 1’11 inform you about the audition results in a text message within three working days..”
