The school beauty who committed suicide returns to the entertainment industry and becomes a big hit
Chapter 26: Grabbing a role?
As mentioned before, the Song family is a family of scholars. Song Yiren was already a famous talented woman before the family's decline. Not only was she well-versed in the classics, but she was also well-versed in the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
So Song Yiren went to search for things in the family's former houses, farms, and shops, and she actually found some collections, but most of them had been destroyed or taken away.
She cleaned up the Red Leaf Villa, decorated it with these collections, provided some refreshments, and invited people to visit, providing a quiet place for parties to gather, discuss business, trade, and date. This feels a bit like Yu Shui Ju.
However, Song Yiren's voice problem hindered her career, but she still relied on her own extraordinary knowledge and grace to slowly gain a foothold, but she paid more than others. Song Yiren didn't care about the effort, she was afraid that the effort would not be rewarded.
Although during this process, some people really appreciated her talent, while others coveted her body. When this happened more and more, Song Yiren no longer resisted, and even used her own capital to find out many secrets of the enemy army, and then fed back this information to her compatriots, indirectly avenging the Song family.
Yu Daoxian and Song Zuimian did not look down on their aunt because of these things. On the contrary, they respected and loved her even more. She was not only the elder who raised them, but also one of the countless heroes who contributed silently to the country's final victory.
Also, because their great aunt hardly spoke anything in the second half of her life, they only remembered her every move and smile, but had no impression of her voice, so they decided to make the film in silent film mode to maintain the dignity of their great aunt.
The movie "Yiren" tells the story of Song Yiren's life. If Ren Qianshui succeeds in the audition, he will play the role from the decline of the Song family to the death of Song Yiren, with an age span from her teens to her fifties. Although Song Yiren seems to have never aged in the impressions of Yu Daoxian and Song Zuimian, and has always been so young and beautiful, the changes in her demeanor must be distinguished by acting, which requires a very high level of acting skills from Ren Qianshui, and Wang Zhong is also worried about whether Ren Qianshui, a newcomer who has never acted before, can perform this kind of change.
Forget it, let's have a tryout first. Anyway, she will have to take some lessons before filming starts. As long as she is not a blockhead with no talent, he will always be able to train her.
"Come, take a look at the scene first, and then you can choose a part to act out."
Ren Qianshui took the script handed over by Wang Zhong. The script was open. Ren Qianshui took a quick look and found that it was a scene where Song Yiren returned to Shangjing and reopened Hongye Mountain Residence, facing her old friends. The main purpose of this scene was to show the change in Song Yiren's mentality from her initial embarrassment to her later calmness.
Song Yiren knew the old friend when she was still a lady from a scholarly family. At that time, they were on the same level and she could unscrupulously act like a lady from a wealthy family and refuse the advances of rich young men. But now, the rich young man whom she had once refused has become the head of the wealthy family, and the lady from a wealthy family who refused others has become a down-and-out woman who has to bow her head for a living.
The scene Ren Qianshui chose was the one when he reunited with his old friend.
"You? You are, Song Yiren?" Because it was an audition, the actor still spoke the lines as usual. This actor was Wang Zhong's friend, and he should also play the role of Mr. Yan, an old acquaintance.
The beautiful woman who was called looked in the direction of the voice, and the frivolous playboy in her mind instantly turned into a middle-aged man in front of her with a calm, gentle and elegant temperament.
The embarrassment in her eyes flashed away, and then she raised a smile, nodded at the other party, and made a please-come-at-home gesture with her hand.
"You, you are the boss of Hongye Mountain Residence now?"
Song Yiren smiled and nodded. The other party must have heard that the owner of Hongye Mountain Villa was a mute woman. She didn't make a fuss about her silence. She was just a little surprised that this person was her.
"Are you alone now?"
Song Yiren put away her smile, shook her head calmly, and made the "please" gesture again. Then she bowed, said goodbye, indicated that she had other things to do, and went to another courtyard.
This scene ended here. Ren Qianshui retracted the temperament of Song Yiren during the performance and turned to look at Wang Zhong and others.
"Okay!" The speaker was Song Zuimian. She clapped her hands, with tears in the corners of her eyes. Yu Daoxian heard that something was wrong with his wife's voice, so he quickly turned around and reached out to wipe her tears.
"Alas, when people get old, they tend to be sentimental." Song Zuimian looked up and said to everyone, "When I saw Qianshui's look just now, I really thought that my aunt was standing in front of me. Director Wang, no matter who you choose in the end, I only recognize Xiaoren as Song Yiren."
"Oh, you think it's good, do you think I can think it's not good?" Wang Zhong was obviously quite satisfied with Ren Qianshui. "But, I think it's better for you to call her Qianshui. This "Little Ren, Little Ren" sounds a bit awkward. Hahahaha..."
Afterwards, everyone went back into the house and talked about Yiren for a while. When it was almost over, Wang Zhong called Ren Qianshui to the courtyard alone: "When I watched your show before, I could feel that you have the scent of an actor. As expected, your performance really doesn't look like a newcomer. You are talented and spiritual. Very good! I really want to thank Yingchun this time. If she hadn't recommended this show to me and mentioned you, Yiren might have been shelved forever."
"Director Wang, you are too kind. I am also very grateful to Sister Yingchun. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have gotten such a good opportunity. You and Sister Yingchun are my benefactors!"
"Haha, what are you talking about? Are you trying to take credit for your wife?" Song Zuimian came out of the house with others and heard the two of them praising each other. He couldn't help but teasing them.
"Hey, why are you all out? Let's have dinner together later, then go, go, go back! Today the heroine of "Yiren" has been confirmed, it's a good day worth celebrating!" Wang Zhong said as he pushed everyone in. "Another investor will come later, let's take..."
By the time Ren Qianshui finally left Yushuiju and returned to Zhao Zihan's rental house, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening. This was thanks to the two elderly people at the dinner party, otherwise they might not have been able to leave.
Because the investor Wang Zhong mentioned was a rich second-generation, his eyes lit up when he saw Ren Qianshui, like a dog seeing a bone, and he kept moving closer to her. But he seemed to be someone Song Zuimian and his wife knew, and whenever he moved, Song Zuimian would stare at him with those emotionless eyes, which made Ren Qianshui feel funny, but also secretly alert.
However, Song Zuimian probably saw what Ren Qianshui meant, and quietly told her that this kid was just a talker, and if he was asked to do something, he would run faster than anyone else.
Oh, 'this kid' is just Song Zuimian's name. In fact, this investor named Xu Xiguang is almost 30 years old.
"Qianshui, you're finally back! Tell me about the interview!" Zhao Zihan only knew that Ren Qianshui had passed the interview, but didn't know the specific details. She was very interested in these things. When she saw Ren Qianshui coming back, she couldn't wait to pull her to sit on the sofa, her eyes brighter than Xu Xiguang's before.
Ren Qianshui could only tell Zhao Zihan what happened in the afternoon, from the time he entered Yushuiju to the time he left Yushuiju, and finally satisfied Zhao Zihan's curiosity.
"Oh, by the way, you will definitely be taking on more dramas and announcements in the future, so you have to set up a studio! Otherwise, how can you handle it all by yourself? How about I quit my job now and take care of all these for you?" Zhao Zihan's personality is always eccentric, but he is still reliable.
"Of course, but there's no rush. It'll take me more than three months to finish filming this drama. We can do it together when I'm done!"
"Okay, I'll take this opportunity to gain some experience!" Zhao Zihan thought about it and felt that it would be inconvenient for Ren Qianshui to be alone in the crew, so he still had to find an assistant. "How about letting Xiaoyu stay with you for a while? She said before that Tong Hao seemed to want to come to Beijing to work, and she might want to come with him."
"Okay, I'll ask her. By the way, what about Qingqing? Did she pass the public recruitment exam?" Ren Qianshui has been so busy recently that he forgot to ask his friends how their work is going.
"Oh, don't mention it. She took the entrance exam for a rural primary school last time and was accepted. She was preparing for the physical examination, but her mother didn't let her go. She said that with her personality, she would never be able to leave that place, so she asked her to take the entrance exam for a school in Jiangcheng directly. Qingqing is now passive and lazy. She chose to take the entrance exam for a village primary school because of her personality. This directly cut off her retreat. She doesn't know what to do now."
"How about, we reserve a position for her in the studio? Like, copywriter?" Zhao Zihan asked Ren Qianshui tentatively.
"Okay, as long as she is willing and her family doesn't stop her, she can come anytime. You can decide these things yourself. My work focus is definitely on filming. You will definitely be in charge of this studio in the beginning. If it grows, we will decide whether to hire a professional manager or something else. Of course, these are all later. I just want you to know that you also have a part in this studio. Student Zhao Zihan, you must have a sense of ownership. As long as we formulate the rules and regulations at the beginning, we can just follow them later."
"Hahahahahahahaha——" Zhao Zihan laughed happily when listening to Ren Qianshui's promise.
Next, the two had an in-depth exchange on a series of development issues for the future studio. As they talked, they took notes in a notebook and sorted out the general rules and regulations, which would provide a reference if they wanted to set up a studio later.
The next day, Zhao Zihan, who was a worker, left for the company early in the morning, leaving Ren Qianshui alone at home reading the script. She had to study "Yiren" carefully again.
Suddenly, the ringing of the phone woke Ren Qianshui up from her immersion. She picked up the phone and saw that it was Zhao Zihan. What was so urgent?
"Hey?"
"Qianshui, something bad has happened. Check Skynet! There are many marketing accounts online saying that Zhao Yanran is very likely to take on director Wang Zhong's new movie!"
Ren Qianshui frowned, turned on the speaker on his phone, and started browsing the entertainment news on Skynet.
In the previous life, there were vague rumors that Wang Zhong had contacted Zhao Yanran for "Yiren", but it has always been just a small-scale rumor and has not been widely publicized by marketing accounts. Because in the end Zhao Yanran did not take over the play, and it was more than a year later that Ren Qianshui was confirmed to play the role of the female lead in "Yiren". It would not be good for Zhao Yanran to publicize such a thing.
But it's different now. If there was a rumor that Zhao Yanran might take a certain role, and then it was officially announced that Ren Qianshui would be the heroine, then she would most likely be rumored to have snatched someone else's role. By then, Ren Qianshui would not be able to explain herself even if she had ten mouths. This would be an extremely unfavorable negative rumor for a newcomer.
She couldn't go online to confront them directly, because they had never admitted it, and it was all marketing accounts that were spreading the rumors. What was going on? Why did such a deviation occur?
Ren Qianshui thought carefully about the connection here. First of all, she and Zhao Yanran had no intersection, so it was impossible for the other party to target her directly? There was no reason for this. And she had only confirmed the role of Song Yiren yesterday, so the other party should not know her yet.
Ah, no, Zhong Yao! Zhao Yanran and Zhong Yao are both artists of Huanchi Entertainment, but Zhong Yao is still unknown and has only appeared in Idol Tiancheng. But Ren Qianshui just happened to know that Zhong Yao had an ambiguous relationship with a current senior executive of Huanchi. Was it because of this that Zhao Yanran agreed to some of Zhong Yao's requests? Anyway, this did not cause any loss to Zhao Yanran, and she could also take the opportunity to win the sympathy of the audience and fans.
But how did Zhong Yao know that she was going to play Wang Chongxin's role? Could it be that someone at Fengranyuan yesterday leaked it out?
This is possible. Apart from Wang Zhong, Song Zuimian and Yu Daoxian, there is also the unknown investor Xu Xiguang. These people definitely have no connection with Zhong Yao. In addition, the actor Wei Kai who cooperated with her in the audition should not be a wife-loving man in the circle. In addition, most of the people present yesterday were from Director Wang Zhong's exclusive team. They have been together for many years and can be said to know each other well. It is impossible for such a problem to exist. The only ones left are the two young actors.
Ren Qianshui thought of these two people. One was He Bing, a road show that the assistant director found at Hengchuan Film and Television City and was very optimistic about. This time, he brought him to Wang Zhong to watch, probably to recommend him to play the third or fourth male lead. The other was Zheng Xinyue, who just graduated from Beijing Film Academy this year and had played supporting roles in some TV series before, but the TV series were not popular enough, so her supporting role was even less well-known. But to be chosen by Wang Zhong, her acting skills must be good. These two people seemed to have little intersection with Zhong Yao.
Forget it, let’s not think about it for now. She felt that the other party must have a trick up their sleeve, otherwise this wouldn’t be such a big blow to her.
