Arriving at the airport, the flight was at 9:40 PM. He Tiantian changed her boarding pass and then went to the waiting hall.
In the waiting time, He Tiantian did not waste a moment, pulling out her high-end laptop she had purchased online and tapping away at the keyboard.
It was only when the broadcast began announcing the boarding information for flights that He Tiantian lifted her head, rubbed her somewhat sore neck, saved her work, and then prepared to board.
At half-past midnight, the flight safely arrived in Capital City.
He Tiantian had booked a hotel in advance, took a taxi from the airport, and it was almost 2 AM by the time she reached the hotel.
He Tiantian quickly washed up a bit and lay down on the bed clothed to sleep for a few hours.
At eight in the morning, she opened her eyes on time.
This time, she took a thorough bath, changed into clean clothes, and then went to the address given by Director Feng.
After He Tiantian arrived, she discovered that she wasn’t the only one participating in the audition; there were also several girls under twenty years old.
These girls were all distinct in looks, but they all shared one common trait: young, beautiful, and naturally so.
He Tiantian, who had sharp eyes and good memory, seemed to recognize a familiar face among the girls—
Wasn’t this girl the one who made the hot search this year, claiming to be the "Chinese opera" school’s most beautiful freshman?
The Chinese opera school beauty also noticed He Tiantian, and although all present were youthful beauties, He Tiantian’s temperament was quite unique.
Although she appeared to be a girl in the bloom of youth at seventeen or eighteen, there was also an air of maturity and stability about her.
That kind of temperament, situated between green and mature, was really very attractive.
Through connections with her teachers, the Chinese opera school beauty had already got a rough idea of the role for the audition—innocent in the early stages, beautiful and glamorous later on.
It was a complex character that could be both a "White Moonlight" and a "snake and scorpion beauty."
Such roles are the hardest to cast; choose a girl of the right age, and she might not be able to portray the older, varied charms and vicious ruthlessness.
Pick a talented, established actress, and the age is, well—
It’s not about being too demanding about the age of female actors, but sometimes having a woman in her thirties or forties try to force a young girl’s role is just awkward.
Director Feng Jing had very high standards for his film work, and even for a male-dominated drama where the female lead was just an embellishment, he wanted to find the most suitable actress.
With both male leads and numerous supporting actors selected and ready to start shooting at any time, it was only because the female lead had not been finalized that Director Feng continued to audition under pressure from all sides.
The Chinese opera school beauty felt that the girl in front of her seemed to fit the script’s requirements quite well.
She suddenly felt a sense of crisis and instantly considered He Tiantian her biggest potential rival.
It must be said, the Chinese opera school beauty’s premonition was quite accurate.
Before seeing He Tiantian’s performance, Director Feng and the writer, producer, and others felt that although the performance of the Chinese opera school beauty was a bit unripe, she still had talent.
After joining the team and learning from experienced actors, along with guidance from the director, she should be able to meet the requirements.
They didn’t make an immediate decision, but from the expressions and tones of the people there, the Chinese opera school beauty picked up on some clues and happily went home to wait for the news.
"Hello everyone, I am He Tiantian!"
He Tiantian walked into the audition room and politely introduced herself.
Her external conditions were really superior, with a photogenic face, a petite figure, and a weight of just over eighty pounds, too thin in reality.
But on camera, she was just right.
The key was her pair of eyes, too Spiritual Movement, capable of being innocent as well as profound, full of a sense of storytelling.
The entertainment industry is never lacking in beauties, but beauties with unique traits and Spiritual Energy are relatively rare.
At first glance, Director Feng was interested and immediately had someone hand the script to He Tiantian.
Hey, as a professional writer, He Tiantian expressed that she was all too familiar with scripts.
She carefully read the character setting: a well-off upbringing, a personality that’s naïve, kind, beautiful, and actively progressive, she was a Republic Eldest Miss.
He Tiantian slowly raised her head, without any makeup or costume pairing, and her whole temperament changed.
The hint of a smile on her lips, the elegant way she walked, and even the simple gestures were infused with a thick Republic air.
What captured the most attention were those eyes, clear as water, Spiritual Movement and vibrant, full of starlight that irresistibly made one’s heart yearn.
Mr. Lin, the many men’s first love goddess from years ago, must have been .
Director Feng silently exclaimed in his heart.
But that wasn’t anything special; a beautiful girl playing a Republic young lady wasn’t any challenge.
The real challenge was the later part of the "snake and scorpion beauty."
Director Feng then gave He Tiantian another character to prepare for: a female spy from the Guo Party, glamorous, ruthless, and unscrupulous in her methods!
He Tiantian:... a villain, ah, I’m even better at that!
