“Are you sure you don’t want to reconsider?” Tang Zhiming questioned.
He had seen An Wen’s performance. As of now, she was totally capable of executing a perfect rendition of Li Qingyi. However, for her to assume the role of Lin Wanting who had multilevel traits did pose a challenge. He could undoubtedly cast her as Li Qingyi right away, but she would have to go through an audition to acquire the role of Lin Wanting.
Tang Zhiming’s drama was the most popular among performers, so much so that not only beautiful actresses with high commercial value but also acting veterans with plenty of experiences would participate in the audition.
The character Lin Wanting would turn from being naïve and innocent in the early stages of the drama into a ruthless Big Boss later on. Numerous people would compete for this role as it was the most promising character following the main male and female leads.
“Director Tang, I’ve already made up my mind!” An Wen’s eyes twinkled with brilliance. “I hope Director Tang would save me a spot when the time comes for auditioning.”
“Of course! Hahahaha…” Tang Zhiming cracked up at her response. That mentee of him had a spectacular intuition; this girl was indeed full of potential.
She would naturally become a well-known goddess as soon as the character Qing Sha was aired. Generally, other actresses would secure their fanbase by constantly taking up characters that portrayed the image of an elegant goddess. An Wen, on the other hand, was determined to break out of the typecasting process.
Indeed, the character Lin Wanting was absolutely abhorred by the hardcore fans of the original novel.
“Hi, Director Tang,” Lu Maner came over and greeted Tang Zhiming.
“Director Tang, this is Lu Maner,” Assistant Director Zhang introduced the woman.
Tang Zhiming nodded at Lu Maner and then simply said to her, “You need to work harder on your acting!”
Lu Maner nodded and said with a kind smile, “Don’t worry, Director Tang, I’ll be sure to work harder. I’ve heard that…”
She wanted to enquire about the drama Flower Falls in Chang’an, but Tang Zhiming shifted his attention towards Assistant Director Zhang instead. “It’s getting late and I shall take my leave now.”
“Director Tang, let me get Director Ye for you,” the man offered.
“It’s OK, your production crew’s on a tight schedule. I’ll just leave,” insisted Tang Zhiming.
“See you later, Director Tang,” said An Wen.
