Chapter 108 Song Yirou's audition, Song Nanxi was in the room.
The morning went by quickly.
Yan Xingxue would occasionally go out, and it seemed that his opinions were very important to Feng Rui and the others.
Feng Rui sighed as the last actor finished his audition.
"It's so hard to find one! Last time we finally found one that was almost right, but then something went wrong!"
The girl was a freshman in college, but she was good-looking and her acting skills, though not very polished, were quite natural.
Not long ago, I accidentally missed a step while going downstairs and broke my leg.
It takes a hundred days to recover from a serious injury. The production team has already started filming and is burning through budget every day. How can they wait?
Even if the actress cries the most, they still need to find a new actress.
Yan Xingxue opened her mouth, turned her head to look behind the gauze curtain, and saw a shadowy figure entertaining himself.
Feng Rui asked, "Hey, Xingxue, are you really not going to let Miss Song give it a try?"
He seemed to have that kind of interest in Yan Xingxue.
He would definitely give Yan Xingxue face if she asked.
Yan Xingxue smiled. "Thank you, Director Feng. I'll ask her then—"
No sooner had he finished speaking than his assistant opened the door and peeked in.
He said, "Director Feng, Miss Song is here. Is there still an audition?"
Yan Xingxue was slightly surprised, and looked at Feng Rui with her amber eyes.
"Why is there another Miss Song..." Feng Rui didn't react for a moment.
The assistant said, "Song Yirou, her agent contacted you yesterday."
"Oh right!" Feng Rui slapped his forehead, embarrassed. "I forgot in my haste. Since you've already agreed, please come in."
Song Yirou came with her agent. Previously, Song Yirou had been focusing on television dramas and had filmed several well-received productions.
She is now a highly sought-after and talented young actress in the entertainment industry.
However, there is a hierarchy of disdain in the entertainment industry. For example, actors who act in serious dramas look down on those who act in idol dramas. As for the big screen, that is a stage that most actors want to reach.
Song Yirou's ambition naturally wouldn't allow her to stay stuck in idol dramas forever.
"Xiaorou, you have the ability. Don't be nervous later, just perform normally! I believe in you."
Liu Bin patted her on the shoulder to encourage her.
Song Yirou relaxed and said, "Brother Liu, you know me when it comes to acting. I've never been afraid of anyone."
Among actresses of the same age, her acting skills far surpass theirs.
What's more, she had just upgraded her performance skills with points before she came.
Liu Bin advised, "I know you're a good actor, but you can't be careless."
Song Yirou waved her hand impatiently, and the door opened.
He said, "I'm going in."
Song Yirou never expected that the audition would bring such a pleasant surprise.
Yan Xingxue was there too?
She went in and greeted everyone in a very natural and friendly manner.
Then, with a bright smile, he said, "Teacher Yan, I'm your fan. Could you please sign my autograph later? Also, you might have misunderstood me about what happened last time. Please give me a chance to explain."
Oh wow.
Several people's gossipy gazes darted between them.
I've been saying this all along: in this industry, whether male or female, who doesn't have a bit of a scandal?
But what a coincidence! There was a Miss Song inside, and another Miss Song outside.
Impressive!
Yan Xingxue raised her eyes and said calmly, "We are auditioning now. Is Miss Song sure you want to waste time chatting?"
Song Yirou's expression stiffened.
She quickly changed the subject, "Excuse me, Ms. Yan, I'll start my performance now. Director Feng, producers, the role I'm auditioning for is Ye Lan, Ye Jia. Please give me your guidance."
Facing numerous gazes, she held her breath, determined to make Yan Xingxue look at her in a new light!
The reason I auditioned for two roles is because in the movie, Ye Lan and Ye Jia are twin sisters.
The older sister, Ye Lan, is gentle and quiet, while the younger sister sings in underground bars and mingles with all sorts of people.
Playing two roles is very difficult.
But as Song Yirou performed, Feng Rui sat up slightly.
He exchanged a glance with the screenwriter next to him.
This Song Yirou seems pretty good?
After finishing her performance, Song Yirou quickly withdrew, saying, "I'm done performing, thank you everyone."
Noticing the gazes of Feng Rui and the others, Song Yirou tried hard to suppress her smugness.
She knew it was safe!
What about Yan Xingxue? Was she amazed by her own performance?
Song Yirou stared straight at Yan Xingxue, and when she saw his expression, it was as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over her head, and all her expectations were dashed.
Yan Xingxue frowned in thought.
He was clearly not satisfied with her performance.
Why? Just because she made Song Nanxi play a harmless little game last time, does that make her dislike her to this extent?
She deliberately asked, "What did Teacher Yan think of my performance just now?"
Yan Xingxue caught the confidence in the woman's eyes that she hadn't had time to hide.
He opened his mouth and said, "I don't think it's a good idea."
Song Yirou was seething with anger, but she smiled generously on the surface and said, "Then, Teacher Yan, could you give me some pointers?"
Feng Rui and the others also looked at Yan Xingxue.
Yan Xingxue didn't ponder for long before raising Song Yirou's question.
“Your acting is very formulaic, I admit. If defined by textbook standards, your acting is fine.”
Yan Xingxue has her own insights into acting.
In the quiet private room, only his gentle, soothing voice could be heard.
"But it's precisely because it's too formulaic that it looks stiff and lacks spirit. It's like when you're performing, something is controlling your body, making you show standard expressions and say standard lines, but your eyes are empty—"
“I can’t see your passion for acting; you haven’t truly entered the character’s heart.”
Song Yirou's confident expression gradually crumbled, and she tightly suppressed the fleeting panic in her eyes.
She said, "Teacher Yan truly lives up to his reputation as a great actor; his words are so profound. Could you explain them in more detail?"
Yan Xingxue, however, had already stopped talking about it.
His gaze frequently drifted behind the gauze curtain.
Song Yirou couldn't help but follow his gaze, but the gauze curtain blocked her view, so she couldn't really see the figure inside.
Feng Rui made the decision, saying, "Miss Song's performance was excellent. We still need to hold a meeting to discuss the final decision. Thank you for your consideration, Miss Song, as you will be waiting for our news."
As soon as Song Yirou stepped outside, Liu Bin eagerly rushed up to her, "Xiaorou, how was it?!"
Seeing her green face, Liu Bin's heart skipped a beat.
He tentatively asked, "Did it turn out badly?"
Song Yirou gritted her teeth, "He's just using his position to settle personal scores!"
She glanced back, her eyes sparkling, and suddenly an idea came to her.
"You go out first, I'll wait a bit longer!"
……
Inside the room, Yan Xingxue had already called Song Nanxi out.
He apologized, "Are you tired? I didn't expect it to take so long. Let me treat you to this meal."
Song Nanxi was originally quite bored, but she had just enjoyed a good show.
Things are alright right now.
She smiled and said, "Teacher Yan is so ruthless when she's working."
Yan Xingxue felt inexplicably embarrassed by the way she was being looked at.
"I'm just telling the truth."
