Director of Photography Department of Huayu

Chapter 37 He has an intention, he definitely has an intention!
Is Zeng Li pretty?
The answer varies from person to person.

As the campus beauty of the Central Academy of Drama, she is also a top actress carefully cultivated by the Central Academy of Drama. She has a tall and smooth figure, delicate features and excellent temperament.

It would be a lie to say that she is not pretty, otherwise the Chinese Academy of Drama with so many beautiful women would not have named her the school belle.

But it’s also true that it’s not photogenic.

Wu Chen stared at Zeng Li who was auditioning and shook his head secretly.

She has a long face with a medium-sized part and small eyes. It looks fine to the naked eye, but when the camera zooms in, the flaws are exposed - she exudes maturity and a disdainful temperament.

It is a big taboo not to look photogenic in a movie, unless the appearance fits the role. Unfortunately, the two female protagonists of "Dark Side" have different beauties, and Zeng Li just doesn't match.

"It would be better if I could be more photogenic." Wu Chen felt sorry in his heart, but politely refused.

"What a shame, Sister Zeng Li, if I had seen you earlier, I would have changed the heroine's character."

The meaning was clear. Zeng Li was not stupid. A ripple flashed in her eyes, then she calmed down in an instant and responded with a faint smile:
"It's okay, it's just a pity about this character."

She has been used to being rejected over the years, so even though she is upset, she can swallow it.

After the audition, at the gate of Beijing Film Academy, the winter sun shone obliquely, and the shadows of the dead poplar trees beside the rusty iron school gate swayed like the remnants of an ink painting.

Wu Chen watched the three of them go away, then turned and went back to the dormitory.

Hu Jing and the other two were waiting for the bus when a cold wind blew through the alley, bringing with it the aroma of candied haws.

"So, Jingjing, you agreed. How much is the pay?" Yuan Quan put his arm around Hu Jing's shoulders and asked with a smile.

"Thirty thousand!" Hu Jing lacked confidence and forced out the two words.

When these words were spoken, Zeng Li and Yuan Quan were both stunned.

"Jingjing, do you think this is a good idea?" Zeng Li couldn't help but ask.

Hu Jing pursed her lips. She was optimistic about the film, but the pay was really low. But she couldn't lose face in front of her friends!

"Well, I decided to take a gamble!" Hu Jing patted his chest and vowed.

"Jingjing, I didn't realize you were quite courageous." Yuan Quan sighed, "To be honest, I didn't want to miss out on such a complex role. What a pity!"

"Hey, it's okay. Let me treat you to dinner." Hu Jing didn't want to continue discussing this issue and changed the subject.

"Thirty thousand dollars isn't enough for food." Zeng Li joked.

"Believe it or not, I can choke you to death"

While the three of them were laughing, Dong Xuan and others in the girls' dormitory of Beijing Film Academy were also laughing.

"Is this true? Yueyue, don't be so exaggerated." Dong Xuan laughed so hard that her body shook, but her eyes were full of distrust.

"What, you don't believe me? I saw it with my own eyes, Wu Chen almost put his mouth on their faces." Guan Yue boasted, and was anxious to produce evidence to prove it.

"They were just that close, probably this close!"

Guan Yue used her thumb and index finger to indicate a one-centimeter gap.

"I'm not bragging, Wu Chen is a freshman at the Beijing Film Academy. Zeng Li, Hu Jing, Yuan Quan and the others have graduated from the Central Academy of Drama. I don't believe you if you say they don't have some connection."

Dong Xuan and Yin Xu looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

They knew very well what their roommates were like. In Guan Yue's mouth, they were as good as a sow, even able to climb a tree.

"By the way, Xuan'er, didn't you add Wu Chen Penguin last time? Just ask him!" Yin Xu suddenly thought of it.

"That's not right!" Dong Xuan hesitated. "I added you but we haven't chatted yet. Asking out of the blue is too abrupt."

"It's better not to ask, it's not appropriate!" Guan Yue felt guilty and interrupted with a dry laugh.

Dong Xuan glanced at Guan Yue's guilty look and became interested: "Actually, it's not too abrupt. He fooled us in the cafeteria last time, and he just used this as an excuse." "Ah? What fool?" Guan Yue and Yin Xu were stunned.

"I asked the photographer about the photography techniques for 'Snow Goddess Dragon', and he said it wasn't like that at all. It was professional, but it was pure nonsense."

Dong Xuan smiled, took out her flip phone, opened the Penguin app, and got straight to the point.

"Ahem, I knew Wu Chen wasn't being honest!" Guan Yue stood up, coughed lightly, and scratched the back of her head. "Well, I'll go get some water."

"There's plenty of water in the kettle. What's the matter? Do you want to escape at the critical moment? Are you afraid of being exposed?" Dong Xuan teased.

"Who said that!" Guan Yue held on tightly upon hearing that.

Just at this moment, Wu Chen was replying to messages on his mobile phone, and Dong Xuan's chat box immediately attracted his attention.

"Junior brother, how did you manage to combine martial arts and Mondrian composition?"

Wu Chen was stunned for a moment. Was he exposed?
He didn't believe that Dong Xuan had specially learned professional knowledge of photography. It was most likely that she asked a professional.

The two of them had been friends for several days but had never exchanged a single word. Today, as soon as Guan Yue ran into him, she sent him a message.

Wu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. This must be related to Guan Yue, but he didn't know to what extent the rumors had become outrageous.

As for the embarrassment of being exposed, such a thing does not exist for him.

Wu Chen was about to type a reply when suddenly Dong Xuan's image appeared in his mind.

As a strong contender for the title of Beijing Film Academy's campus beauty, there is no need to say much about Dong Xuan's beauty.

Her facial features are delicate, and her eyes and eyebrows reveal the gentleness of the Jiangnan water town, but her temperament is also a bit sensitive and alienated, making her beauty fragile and captivating.

The most important thing is his almond-shaped eyes, which are gentle as water when he smiles, but seem to hide a little thorn of suspicion when he doesn't smile. This sensitive and suspicious aura matches the temperament of the heroine in his movies.

Young and beautiful, but with a sense of brokenness hidden within her beauty.
Being locked in a secret room and having Dong Xuan express her despair inside, this must have touched the hearts of many viewers.

Isn’t this a ready-made heroine?

Wu Chen's eyes lit up, he deleted the words he had just typed, re-edited the content, and sent it over.

At this time, we must counterattack.

"Senior Sister, Senior Sister Guan Yue didn't say anything, right?"

Dong Xuan was stunned after seeing the reply and waved her phone in front of Yin Xu and Guan Yue.

"Wow, this junior brother has something smart in his head." Yin Xu exclaimed in admiration.

"Tell me, how should I respond?" Dong Xuan said helplessly, then tapped Guan Yue, "Look at you, you've been guessed so clearly."

"How would I know he's such a weirdo? You can guess that, you must be a fortune teller." Guan Yue pouted, not convinced.

"Anyone who knows you can guess it." Dong Xuan was speechless.

However, at this time the penguin chat window shook again.

"I invited the beauty queen from the Central Academy of Drama to help me today, but I'm not good enough. I want to ask you, my senior sister, to help me. I don't know if you are available. Let's have dinner together tonight to talk about it."

"He has an intention, he definitely has an intention!" Guan Yue jumped up when she saw Wu Chen replying to Dong Xuan's message, and muttered, pointing at the phone.

"But I'm really curious. Zeng Li and the others can't do it. What's going on?"

"Xuan'er, why don't you just give in to him? Don't you want to win? Don't you want to restore our Beijing Film Academy's reputation?"

"I'll start with you!" Dong Xuan chased Guan Yue and knocked her, scolding her with laughter.

"To be honest, I'm curious too!" Yin Xu came over with a curious look on his face, "Xuan'er, can we go together?"
