CTTT Chapter 126.2

World 3: Director's Project (47)

Now, she could only run from one crew to another, and others might not necessarily want her.

Last week, she went to Qi Lanyue’s crew. Qi Lanyue gave her a supporting role because she had won the Best Actress trophy. 

At that time, He Nan had a complete epiphany that the era that belonged to her had long since passed.

“I have three free female roles on hand now. You should know.” Jiang Ting looked into her eyes and said.

He Nan’s heart tightened and nodded.

“Before coming, the program team informed us.”

Yesterday, the program team announced the new rules and intended to align everything with the film industry. So naturally, the film characters must be refined in advance. 

Today, Jiang Ting mainly auditioned for six roles, three males and three females, because she had already decided on the actors for other roles in advance.

“Who do you want to choose? Lawyer, full-time mother, or teacher?”

“Teacher.”

“Okay, then come on. I’ll give you five minutes to recite this line and then perform it.”

After speaking, Jiang Ting handed over a piece of paper with a long paragraph attached.

He Nan’s eyelids jumped when she saw it. She started to recite the lines without even saying hello to Jiang Ting.

Jiang Ting sat on the side and waited quietly, and the other photographers did not dare to disturb them.

Five minutes later, the audition began, and He Nan was ready and spoke out.

“Director, I’m ready.”

“Do you need me to act with you?” Jiang Ting said with a smile.

He Nan shook her head: “No, I’ll be more nervous if you act with me.”

“Okay, then you can do it yourself.”

The teacher’s scene was about the teacher protecting the students and stopping the criminals from committing crimes. It was a very tense scene.

In order to better test the acting skills of the auditioning actors, Jiang Ting did not tell He Nan that the criminal briefly mentioned in the script was the protagonist, and the student was also the protagonist. The two were the same person, just people of different ages. 

This was also the first pit she dug. If you didn’t have strong skills, it was easy to play it wrong.

“You calm down. He is still a child.” He Nan said to the air.

Soon, He Nan changed her mood, and her voice gradually trembled.

“You can’t do that.”

“You’re crazy, you’re really crazy.”

“Sorry, I don’t want to, I have no choice.”

“Cut.” 

When He Nan finished the last line, Jiang Ting shouted ‘Cut’.

After He Nan finished the performance, she was even more nervous because Jiang Ting kept frowning.

“Director Jiang, I’m done.”

Jiang Ting nodded, “Thank you for the performance of Teacher He Nan. If you don’t mind, you may have to wait a little while until all the other performers of the same role have finished their performances before I can decide on the final person.”

After listening, He Nan said repeatedly, “It’s okay, Director, I’m willing to wait.”

Previously, He Nan went to several crews for auditions, but basically, there was no news after the auditions, and there were even several crews that didn’t give her the opportunity to audition at all. 

This time, Jiang Ting was able to keep her and give her a chance to be determined, which was already a big improvement.

Moreover, based on her intuition from filming before, the role of the teacher should be very important. When she was thinking about this scene, she always felt that there was something wrong with these lines. 

What was the relationship between the teacher and the criminal? Why should she apologize? What was the relationship between the criminal and the student? Why should the teacher protect the student? 

These were all her questions.

She thought about many situations, but she couldn’t find the relationship between these three points. She could only act according to her original idea.

If she got this role in the end, it would be much better than playing a minor role in Qi Lanyue’s crew.

He Nan finished speaking and left.

The assistant director next to her tried to find out what Jiang Ting thought. 

Jiang Ting smiled and didn’t say anything. She just started to call the next person.

After that, Jiang Ting auditioned 10 people one after another, but none of them passed. 

Most of these 10 people were directly eliminated by Jiang Ting, and it was clearly stated that there was no role suitable for them in the movie. 

The remaining two people, like He Nan, were in the waiting area for Jiang Ting’s crew.
