Speaking of this, Yuran was quite distressed. For some reason, she unexpectedly shared with Bo Yan, "Seventh Brother, do you know Xuan Ze·Tang?"
The leap in the topic was also huge!
"I’ve heard of him, but I don’t know him." He was more acquainted with Tang Wan, having collaborated with her only once, and that was the last time. However, he knew that Tang Wan had a son named Xuan Ze·Tang.
Yuran seemed to forget the pressure Bo Yan had given her, walked over, and sat down opposite him, beginning to explain, "I made a lot of minor moves before, just to prepare for entering the scene, but I buried my tracks deep."
The things she had done before, all indirect, weren’t hard to deduce that Bo Yan could guess.
She also didn’t feel there was anything inappropriate about revealing her plans to Bo Yan; firstly, her intentions were legitimate, and secondly, her methods were aboveboard.
Bo Yan nodded, showing that he understood, and did not interrupt her.
Seeing no look of disgust on Bo Yan’s face, Yuran breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "I’ve planned for myself four years, occasionally appearing to get the audience familiar with me, not formally accepting roles, or becoming a professional in some performance.
After all, graduating from Diwai is extremely difficult, and I don’t want to waste my study time. Although becoming famous early is important, it’s not everything, just an exception. Genuine talent and knowledge are more important than anything else. To go far, knowledge is still the foundation, otherwise, when interpreting profoundly deep characters, if one’s virtues don’t match their position, it’s easy for the audience to disconnect from the performance.
But now I’m a bit conflicted. I haven’t seen Xuan Ze·Tang’s screenplay yet, but I know that Tang Wan and Xuan Che, the parents of Xuan Ze, are preparing a documentary about themselves with great care, not allowing for any mistakes.
Therefore, the quality of the screenplay will be very high. Giving up this opportunity, I really don’t know when the next one will come, so I’m very troubled."
Bo Yan understood her, "You want to audition for ’Glory and You, No Betrayal’?"
Yuran was startled, glancing sideways at Bo Yan’s cool eyes, surprised, "Seventh Brother, do you know this film?"
"I’ve heard some things about it," Bo Yan said indifferently, without much enthusiasm.
Yuran was slightly disappointed, but then she reasoned it out. With Bo Yan’s status, he only had the luxury of choosing scripts, and great scripts were all too common for him.
However, what Yuran didn’t know was that the director of ’Glory and You, No Betrayal’ had personally sought him out, hoping he would make a cameo appearance as Xuan Che, in consideration of Tang Wan.
He was still considering, yet unexpectedly heard from Yuran her intention to audition for ’Glory and You, No Betrayal’.
Seeing her eyes dim, Bo Yan continued, "It indeed is a rare opportunity. Did they tell you about the filming schedule?"
Yuran nodded, "I mentioned my difficulties, and Xuan Ze·Tang said that they could concentrate my scenes during my off-class hours and holidays. Also, with a long preparation period, there would be room for adjustment with timing."
Bo Yan was somewhat surprised, thinking there must be something exceptional about Yuran for Xuan Ze to consider such accommodations. Otherwise, once the production started, it would be about the money. If calculated strictly and if the movie doesn’t attract fans, it’s bound to lose money.
It seemed that Xuan Ze had thought this through and was so accommodating under such circumstances, there must be a reason.
"Did they ask you to go for an audition, or did they directly appoint you?" Bo Yan asked.
Yuran was taken aback. Right, it wasn’t confirmed yet, and here she was talking about it, suddenly feeling her face grow red, "I need to audition."
Bo Yan didn’t discourage her, nodded, and said, "Then prepare yourself. Go for the audition well-prepared, it’s doable."
