Chapter 32 (1/2)
The next day.
Jin Mu Lin had said that today would be the auditions to choose the female lead. As the male lead he was one of the judges. Gong Xiaoqiao wanted to see and learn something so she followed him.
Gong Xiaoqiao stood far away as an assistant to Jin Mu Lin, who sat there posing like a young master, with a producer on his left and an agent on his right.
The guy was wearing a coquettish pink shirt, with the first three buttons which were always open all year round, watching with interest a row of beautiful women standing there trembling. The director hurtled the script to the ground, roaring—
“The most important thing role of Guan Xian Yue is to cry, whether it is pearl like tears falling like rain, or heartbreak, despair, numbness and empty tears; whether it is an unyielding trickling of tears, or crazy laughter with tears in the corner of the eyes, all the tears are different! Onions, eye drops, tap water? Do you think a little water is crying? Feelings! Feelings ah! Do you understand?”
The director walked back and forth, his mood getting closer and closer to an explosion—
“Before Guan Xian Yue became a demoness, she was in the boudoir of a big family, a woman worth a lot of gold, the first talented woman in ancient China! Not only do you have to show her gentle like manner, you also shouldn’t be too rigid. You have to show the intelligence of a talented woman, and also implicitly reveal the ambition and pride under her appearance of a weak, good wife and mother!
When she learned that her husband was excessively gentle and ambiguous towards the orphan he had saved, although on the surface it appeared like she took it lightly showing a feeling of intricate sadness between her brows, that kind of sadness in her heart was resentment!!!
What I want is a living Guan Xian Yue, not a wooden person! Do you understand?”
The cameraman and the producer seemed to want to say something, but were directly ignored by the director, who was in a state of madness–
“Especially before and after the female lead became enchanted, there was a great contrast between her two characters. From weak and gentle to evil and cruel! These two completely opposite personalities must be well mastered!
Because in the drama the female lead’s mind was not completely enchanted, her personality often changed because of a certain stimulus. So the ability to switch between the two personalities at any time is a must, a must! Do you understand!? Do you understand ah!”
