Huayu: Female celebrities are looking for treasures in me

Chapter 57: Auditioning Bai Xiaonian! A Different Approach to Operation (Please Read)

"Hiss~" Lu Zheng pinched his thigh, and the pain made him sure that he was not having a nightmare.

"Tiantian, let me confirm this." Lu Zheng rubbed his brows. "You want me to invest in 'The Whistleblower' so I can use my connections as an investor to get you a role as a junior student?"

"It's mainly about investment." Jing Tian said confidently, "I heard from a very influential person that The Whispering Wind will do well. Uncle, your investment will definitely bring considerable returns to the company."

"As for giving the role to my junior, it was just a matter of convenience, by the way!"

The powerful person Jing Tian mentioned was actually Zhang Li.

Her thoughts were simple: Zhang Li was a special person with supernatural powers, so the works he valued must be good and worth betting on.

Of course, it was also because she still remembered that after Lu Zheng had a phone call with Huayi's president, Wang, he asked the company team to make a professional evaluation report on "The Whistleblower", believing that the investment could make a small profit.

For the above reasons, she wanted Lu Zheng to invest in "The Sound of Wind" and arrange a role for Zhang Li.

At the beginning, she just asked Zhang Yadong to appreciate her performance of "Preference", and she got a "+1" in her musical literacy and pitch talent.

So what can you get by giving Zhang Li an important supporting role in a big-budget movie?
She is looking forward to it!

"Okay, by the way." Lu Zheng hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Huayi wants us to invest 20 million. If we agree, our original plan to invest in 'The Biography of Sun Tzu' will have to be cancelled, and you probably won't be able to play the female lead."

Hearing this, Jing Tian remained calm: "If I can't act, then I won't act. I want to study hard in the next two years, and acting outside will affect my performance."

Becoming famous as an actor is not as important as getting all kinds of "+1" on Zhang Li.

Road Administration: “.”

He couldn't help but roll his eyes.

She would rather give up the opportunity to play the female lead and ask him to invest in "The Whistleblower" to get a role for the so-called junior.

Is this what you call by the way?
"Tiantian, it's okay to fall in love, it can help you gain experience, but you have to be careful." Lu Zheng said earnestly, "You are a simple person, so don't be fooled by the sweet words of a pretty boy."

A blush appeared on Jing Tian's delicate face: "Uncle Lu, I'm not in a relationship. It's okay if you tell my grandparents about this. I can explain it clearly."

"Tiantian, don't get me wrong. Uncle is just giving you a reminder." Lu Zheng was a little doubtful about his own judgment.

He knew how afraid his eldest niece was of facing her grandfather, so she must be really okay by acting so tough.

"I understand. My mother told me not to look for a boyfriend in the circle. If I really want to find one, I should tell you first and investigate. I remember it all." Jing Tian replied.

This reminded Lu Zheng of something, and he asked, "That junior student you're talking about, isn't that Zhang Li who I was asked to investigate last time?"

"That's him." Jing Tian gave a positive answer: "He will be auditioning for the set of The Whispering Wind soon. Uncle, please arrange it quickly."

Lu Zheng rubbed his eyebrows again.

Jing Tian had asked him to investigate Zhang Li's information, and he still said it was boring?
Could it be that this is a one-sided pursuit?
"If that's the case, Old Jing will definitely have a great look on his face when he hears this." Road Administration suddenly looked a little hopeful: "Okay, I'll go and make this happen right away."

After getting a satisfactory answer, Jing Tian hung up the phone.

After washing her hands, she turned and walked out of the bathroom, returned to the dining table, and chatted with everyone as usual.

After lunch, on the way back to the dormitory, Jing Tian stood next to Zhang Li and asked, "Junior, do you want to join the student union?"

"It will help you expand your network with teachers and classmates, and assist you in earning credits."

By joining the student union, she would have a reason to chat with Zhang Li often.

Zhang Li thought for a moment and shook his head: "Forget it, I often take leave to go out and film, so I'm not suitable to join the student union."

Not getting the answer she wanted, Jing Tian pursed her lips and said, "Then I have a question about my performance. Can I ask you for help?"

"Senior." Zhang Li's eyes flashed with a smile: "You, please teach me?"

The word "senior" made Jing Tian's ears turn red, and she obviously felt that her excuse was lame.

"Yes." Jing Tian nodded shamelessly: "I originally studied dance, but dropped out of Beijing Dance Academy due to health reasons. I re-entered the Beijing Film Academy, and my grades were average."

"I heard you were admitted to the Beijing Film Academy with the highest score in the country. Many teachers praised your intelligence and talent. A teacher should be a master who is more capable than you." Since the words "a teacher should be a master" were spoken, Zhang Li naturally couldn't refuse. "If you need anything, you can contact me anytime. I'll do my best."

This answer made Jing Tian smile happily: "Don't worry, I will pay the tuition and won't let you help me in vain."

Experienced baby, don't even think about escaping from her palm.

The two chatted for a while and then parted in front of the dormitory.

As soon as they entered the dormitory building, Dou Xiao and others started teasing Zhang Li.

"I was originally thinking of treating you to authentic roast duck tonight, but now it seems I'd better forget it." Zhang Li shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Dou Xiao and the other two looked at each other and said in unison, "Godfather!"

Zhang Li shook his head with disgust.

Time flies and it’s three days later.

Zhang Li came here by car in a studio in the northwest corner of the imperial capital.

Given his cooperative relationship with Huayi, and the fact that he was auditioning for the important supporting role of Bai Xiaonian, the audition time was directly confirmed, and he went straight to the audition room upon arrival.

The people in charge of the auditions were director Gao Qunshu, Chen Guofu, the original book author and screenwriter Mecca, and two persons in charge from the investors Huayi and Starry Sky, a total of five people.

"Hello everyone, my name is Zhang Li, and I want to audition for the role of Bai Xiaonian."

Zhang Li put on makeup in advance, had a middle-parted hairstyle, and her skin color was no longer as fair. She looked almost thirty years old, and her cloudy eyes gave people the feeling that she was not young at heart.

As soon as he entered the door, he changed his tone of voice and used a special accent.

Uncle Gao Qun and the other four's eyes flickered, and they lowered their heads to check the information about Zhang Li in their hands.

"Have you studied Kunqu Opera?" Gao Shuqun looked up at Zhang Li with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

"No." Zhang Li continued in his unique accent, "I wanted to start learning after auditioning for this role. I also asked a friend from Kunshan who has studied Kunqu Opera since childhood to teach me."

Various thoughts flashed through the minds of the five people, and a smile appeared on Mecca's serious face: "You are my fellow countryman."

"Yes, Teacher Mecca, I'm from Hangzhou." Zhang Li responded.

Mecca nodded and said nothing more.

The person in charge of Starry Film and Television, who was sitting next to him, turned on a camera.

"It's great that you've learned Kunqu Opera beforehand," Chen Guofu said. "But whether you can get this role depends on your acting skills. Choose a performance for yourself."

"Okay, five teachers." Zhang Li glanced around, walked to the side, dragged a chair to the middle, sat down and started performing.

His eyes changed, and he said with a half-smile: "Just start with Jin Shenghuo, you will definitely be able to get some details."

Of the five people in charge of the audition, only the two representing the investors were not very familiar with the script, while the other three were so familiar with it that they could recite it by heart.

As soon as Zhang Li opened his mouth, they knew which part it was.

It's a story about Bai Xiaonian framing someone.

A little difficult, but not too difficult.

At this moment, Zhang Li's tone changed: "Do I sound like I'm kidding? I have a black background on everyone."

As the words fell, his eyes turned cold: "Including yours."

There was confusion in the eyes of the three people from Mecca.

At this moment, Zhang Li's expression changed again. He picked up a teacup and put it to his mouth: "We're eating, why are you arguing?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he made a tea-splashing gesture.

Mecca Three:?
