Chapter 69. Script reading (1)
The meeting room where the «The stars above» script reading session would be held was already noisy.
The behind-the-scenes team was busy setting up the cameras and lights, and the cast and related parties arrived one after another, ate the snacks on the table and began to chat.
The mood was peaceful as there were many people who were acquainted with one another after doing several projects together.
The reason the staff was setting up the cameras was because to make some teasers of the script reading session and distributing it on the internet to gain some publicity.
They can also make a behind the scenes video or something with this.
Because of those cameras and lights, the script reading session looked like an actual shooting but the actors and actresses inside the room was already used to it.
”I wish our drama can become a big hit.”
An actor who was playing the role of a teacher said.
”Well, I think it will be at least a hit, looking at the controversy about it.”
An actress sitting on the left side replied.
”Isn't the controversy getting too big. I think people will know it after the drama ends.”
An old actor who was playing the role of the principal said.
”Well, I think I agree with the masses, Xin Ren is probably being hasty by doing a lead role when he's just a rookie.”
An actor clearly dissatisfied with Ren said. He was an actor who was working hard for years to get a lead role.
He was obviously upset about Ren getting the lead role when he's just a new actor.
”What do you think about it? Will he able to do his role properly?”
”We have to wait for a bit to know. Honestly, Director Fu would not have selected him if he was not good at acting.”
”We all know that he's good at acting. His acting was great in «Secret spy» but the problem is whether he can play the lead or not.”
”Well, the main role of Rei is very hard to execute as he's a middle aged man in the body of a teenager. You have to act mature and a bit childish at the same time.”
An actor who had originally auditioned for the role of Rei said. He was sad that he was not able to get the lead role but he was a bit happy that he got the role of Rei's friend.
”Well, characters driven out from the plot are hard to play, generally.”
”Yeah, it's a hard task to show various expressions on your face at the same time. His acting in «Secret spy» was good but he mostly have a crazy vibe around him.”
”Yeah, he had to work hard to get the role right.”
An actress who was playing the role of the female lead's mother said.
”I still think that he had gotten this role because of his company or some other backroom deals.”
The actor who was originally dissatisfied with Ren said in a whisper but everyone in the room heard it clearly.
As they were thinking about the reply, they heard a voice from the corner of the room.
”Why are you discussing about whether someone can play a character or not. I think you all should work hard on your characters instead.”
The voice was haughty and somewhat arrogant but no one was able to say anything about Ren after hearing that.
It was because the voice was of Chen Mei, the female lead of the drama.
