Who knows? The anchor I like has become a movie queen!

Song Hai was so shocked when he saw this message in the company that he couldn't even catch his breath. He always felt that there was no need to go to her in person, so he wanted to sort things out directly on WeChat.

I didn't expect her to be so stubborn.

Song Hai made another application with a sullen face: If you refuse to communicate with me, this matter will soon appear on the Internet. Do you not want your career anymore?

This time the answer had one more word: "Whatever."

Ji Xia was not at all nervous. No matter how she looked at it, there was nothing wrong with her. She didn't want to care about it because she was afraid that her parents would be hurt if it was exposed.

She threw her cell phone aside and went out to wash up and get ready for dinner. Sister Yan’s cooking was quite delicious.

Jiang Qingyan: I lost my job accidentally.

While eating, Ji Xia looked at the draft the designer gave her. She thought these graphics were quite suitable for Jiang Qingyan, but why were they all red, a bit like her own.

Maybe this is just his style, Ji Xia thought.

Zhang Guoguo, Sister Yan, and Ji Xia all agreed that the one that resembled a crane looked good and was very suitable for Jiang Qingyan's temperament.

The next day, Ji Xia took Guoguo to the audition again. This time, Zhang Guoguo was already familiar with the situation and was not as nervous as last time. When Ji Xia arrived at the scene, the other people who came for the interview were not so surprised because another second-tier artist with a bigger status was already sitting there.

Glancing sideways, she saw that the person sitting there was Li Jin, she was the second female lead in Chinese Paladin (her role was snatched away by Song Yurou). Li Jin was so unlucky, she had always been suppressing Song Yurou in the crew, but before the filming was finished, a lot of negative information was released. She found out through her agent that it was done by someone from Mu Huan's side.

A lot of her scenes in the latter part of The Legend of Sword and Fairy were deleted. When she saw Song Yurou's face that looked like she had gotten an advantage but was still acting ungrateful, she wanted to slap her to death.

They are all thousand-year-old demons, why are they pretending?

This time the negative news has affected her a bit, so her agent said to give her a small role to play so that she can avoid the limelight, and everyone will have almost forgotten about it after the filming is finished. She took the role after reading the script and thought it was good.

She didn't expect Ji Xia to come too, as he is a popular figure recently.

Li Jin, on the contrary, has a good impression of Ji Xia because she and Song Yurou had a conflict on the show, and now any enemy of Song Yurou is her friend.

The two smiled at each other without much communication.

The other actresses who were originally in the room knew that they would definitely have no chance of getting the audition. Li Jin was the biggest star, and Ji Xia had a lot of traffic these days. Is the competition so fierce for such a small script now?

The director of "Liuliyuan" is the female Tyrannosaurus Rex of the domestic entertainment industry: Liu Xi, who is 47 years old this year. The four dramas she filmed before were either stuck for some reasons or failed because of the negative news about the male protagonists.

The previous dramas did not perform well, so the investors this time were very cautious and not much investment was attracted. Liu Xi was holding her breath and she was determined to make a comeback this time. She was confident in this script.

But the biggest problem is that the only money is spent on filming, so the amount available for the actors is very limited. With such a small salary, the actors with high traffic will not come at all.

Even if the script is good, few first- and second-tier actors are willing to come.

She frowned as she looked at the list in her hand. These were all the people who came to audition today. Except for Li Jin and Ji Xia, there were some actors who had always played supporting roles.

He turned sideways and gestured to the assistant director next to him, "Let's start."

This crew was much better. They drew lots, and a total of 33 actresses entered in order, Li Jin No. 11, Ji Xia No. 18.

Liu Xi folded his arms and watched the performance in front of him, his eyes full of impatience. The acting was not good at all. With such acting skills and conditions, she could play a supporting role, but she was still far from the leading actress.

When Li Jin was auditioning, Director Xi's frown finally relaxed a little, but she still felt that something was missing. She still felt that Li Jin's temperament was not suitable for this kind of role, and it was a bit uncomfortable to watch him force himself to be innocent.

After Li Jin left, the assistant director said to Liu Xi, "Director, I think Li Jin is pretty good. She's considered a veteran actress, and we really can't find anyone more suitable right now."

Liu Xi still said in the same cold tone: "Let's see."

"I'm Ji Xia, 22 years old, a graduate of Kyoto Film Academy, and I hope to audition for the role of Junior Sister Liuli."

Liu Xi silently looked at the girl in front of her. She looked quite suitable for the role of Junior Sister. She nodded and said, "Today you will act out the daily interactions between Junior Sister and Demon King Li Yuan. I will act with you." She signaled her assistant to give the script to Ji Xia.

In fact, daily scenes are the hardest to act. Without emotional conflicts, you won’t be able to tell the director what kind of actor you are at the first moment.

Especially the junior sister is a standard silly and sweet girl in the early stage. If she is not played well, she will easily become a fool, which will be disliked by the audience, so playing the silly and sweet girl well is also a kind of ability.

The lines are very simple, just some coquettish words, daily playfulness with Li Yuan, and the daily life of a pair of bickering lovers.

"Okay, I'm ready."

“You can start.”

From the moment it started, Ji Xia's eyes changed. He looked around agilely, like a kitten stealing some fish.

"Brother Li, you have to apologize to me. You promised to give me a surprise before we go to the next town!" Ji Xia turned sideways to the director, pouting slightly, frowning angrily, but her eyes were still stealing glances at the director's reaction.

Director Xi read the male lead's lines: "Junior sister, it's my fault. I'm ready. I will definitely give you a surprise when we get to the next town."

……

The audition is over.

Ji Xia herself felt that her acting was okay, and that it would have been even more perfect if her styling was improved.

As soon as she came out, she took Zhang Guoguo out for a meal. She wanted to let others suffer but not herself, although she only took a few bites to taste the food.

While eating, Zhang Guoguo seemed to suddenly remember something and took out a tablet from her bag: "Xia Xia, a lot of business endorsements have been sent to the studio these days. My colleagues have sorted them out. Take a look."

Ji Xia took it casually and took a glance. There were quite a lot of things: mobile phones, electric cars, milk, paper towels... and a familiar figure, KW. This time they were not looking for him to endorse a small camera, but a mobile phone that was off the production line.

"No, I won't take any business offers for now. Let them turn them all down." Ji Xia put the tablet aside.

Zhang Guoguo was a little confused. After thinking for a moment, she finally asked, "Xia Xia, why don't you take on any business opportunities? If you take one or two, we'll have more money for charity."

"I don't like business trips, I only like filming. I'll consider it if there's a brand that's a perfect match for me."

The reason why Zhang Guoguo cares so much about endorsements is that a few days ago, Song Yurou officially announced a milk endorsement, and her fans came to mock Chuan Chuan, saying that Ji Xia was too unsophisticated and no brand was willing to cooperate with her. She has been a blank slate for so long since her debut.

This made the Chuan Chuan people very angry, and they sent out their entire army to attack.

Now that he knew Ji Xia's thoughts, Guo Guo felt relieved. Everything still had to be based on Xia Xia's feelings.

After Ji Xia's audition, Director Xi and the screenwriter looked at each other and understood each other's ideas. "This is great."

The assistant director was a little worried. "This Ji Xia is a blank slate. Isn't it a bit risky to cast her as the female lead? Currently, she only has one popular supporting actress, and she doesn't have many scenes. Didn't there come out news about her being in the police station?"

His worries were justified.

The whole room was silent for a few seconds.
