Lin Nuan and the proprietress of Dongying Group are university roommates. They both do fashion design. When the proprietress visited Lin Nuan’s Hanfu store, she discovered that
Wei's costume photos suited the image of Princess Minghua, so he first asked her through Lin Nuan if she was interested, and then recommended it to the crew.
Of course Ming Wei is interested. How much extra money can she make from filming, but she just doesn't have the confidence.
When the car arrived, Mingwei lingered outside Dongying Building for a few minutes before she bravely went in.
There were still ten minutes left before the audition. Dozens of beauties were arranged to wait in the lounge. Mingwei sat alone in the corner, silently reciting the audition lines given to her by the staff. It was just a few lines and the content was not complicated. Memorize
Mingwei secretly observed the others. Most of them were wearing makeup and looked like they were in their early twenties.
"Song Yao is actually here too." Two girls in the front row whispered, talking about the beauty in sunglasses who had just walked in. "Hey, the big stars are willing to reduce their salaries, so we are definitely out of business. We are just running around."
Due to her professional relationship, Mingwei doesn't watch many domestic dramas. She basically doesn't know the first- and second-tier celebrities who have become popular recently. She may have a crush on them, but she can't name them, but she quite agrees with the idea of accompanying them.
Without any expectations, it was her turn to audition. Mingwei was calm, only a little nervous.
The producer, director, assistant director and other key members of the crew were all there. When they saw Ming Wei, they were stunned.
Mingwei was recommended by the proprietress of Dongying. Director Zhang had seen Mingwei's photos. The little girl was wearing an apricot yellow dress and standing under the willow tree by the lake. She had bright eyes and a smile like a flower. She looked like a little princess who was inexperienced in the world. She was indeed very suitable for women.
The main character. Now that he saw the real person, Director Zhang unexpectedly discovered that Ming Wei was younger than in the photos, with a sweet oval face, a straight nose, a slender neck, and she stood there generously, with a very expressive body and posture.
"I've seen your resume. Can you play the guzheng?" Director Zhang asked first.
When mentioning the guzheng, Mingwei couldn't help but curl her lips as she thought of Su Cheng's gentle and graceful mother: "My mother is a guzheng teacher."
"No wonder, the guzheng, a traditional musical instrument, can really enhance your demeanor." Director Zhang said approvingly, flipping through the script and choosing a new scene for Ming Wei to play. There was only one line, and the focus was on emotional expression. The staff went to prepare the guzheng.
Ming Wei stood aside, silently brewing her emotions. Thanks to Lin Nuan who was picky about her appearance in the camera when she was a costume model, and associated with the plot of the novel, she actually found some feeling.
The guzheng was brought over, Mingwei took off her coat and sat in front of the guzheng, putting on her nails.
Director Zhang shouted to start.
Mingwei opened her eyes, remained silent for a few seconds, and concentrated on playing her favorite song: "Spring River Flowers and Moonlight Night".
She passed the guzheng amateur level 10 in high school. Her level is not as professional as her mother's, and she can handle laymen more than enough.
The beauty played the zither, which was pleasing to the eye. Director Zhang listened for a while and signaled for the acting assistant to come on.
Suddenly a figure appeared in front of the guzheng. Mingwei kept moving her hands and raised her head curiously. What came into view was an ordinary man's face, but Mingwei, who had been in close contact with Mu Tingzhou and read the original novel, had a lot of thoughts in her mind.
Mu Tingzhou's costume in ancient costume automatically appeared in it. At that moment, she seemed to see a heavenly being. She forgot to play the kite and everything else. She stared blankly for a few seconds before jumping up in surprise and looking at him with bright eyes.
: "Master, are you here to see me?"
In the play, the late emperor passed away, leaving behind a fifteen-year-old princess and an eight-year-old little emperor. The first assistant also served as the tutor to raise the little emperor, and also taught Princess Minghua. The tutor was cold to the outside world, but treated his siblings
But she still takes care of him with tenderness. Facing such a mature man, the girl princess can't help but fall in love with him, and she smiles and smiles all for him.
After the lines have been read, the audition performance is over.
Ming Wei looked at Director Zhang, who nodded without comment.
After Ming Wei left, the producer asked Director Zhang for his opinion.
"The emotions are superficial and too exaggerated." Director Zhang said truthfully, "But appearance and temperament are both bonus points, so let's add them to the final selection first."
The producer breathed a sigh of relief. He was the person in charge of Dongying. It was rare for the boss lady to recommend a candidate. If he didn't even make it to the final selection, he would have a hard time explaining it when the boss asked about it. Fortunately, Miss Ming has a good foundation.
She actually won Director Zhang's favor with her strength. But having said that, Princess Minghua is the star of the show. Her beauty is enough, and her acting skills are not required.

Ming Wei felt that she and Wang Yingying were quite destined, but as soon as they came out of the audition room, they bumped into Wang Yingying again.
Wang Yingying was wearing a snow-white coat, wearing sunglasses, and was full of aura. As a popular star, she did not have to queue up for the audition and could join in at any time. Seeing Ming Wei from a distance, Wang Yingying just looked familiar. As she got closer and closer, she was finally sure,
The oval-faced woman was indeed the mistress who seduced Cheng Yao.
"Are you here to audition too?" Wang Yingying asked unexpectedly through her sunglasses. After asking, she came to her senses and said with a smile: "It's different when there is a sponsor to support you." I think Cheng Yao was also responsible for her success in becoming popular in the first place.
?
Mingwei was too lazy to pay attention. When she passed by, Wang Yingying grabbed her arm and whispered in her ear: "I am not as good as you in seducing people, but it is worse than acting... You really overestimate your abilities."
Ming Wei turned her head, but Wang Yingying had already let go of her hand and continued walking forward.
Ming Wei was unhappy, but she really didn't have confidence in her acting skills, but we were not in the same circle, so there was no need to use her own shortcomings against the strengths of others.
"How's it going? Is there any drama?" Lin Nuan called her right after she returned to the apartment.
"Give up, I'm not that kind of material." Mingwei deliberately said harsh words to stifle her best friend's over-expanded expectations.
"I'll go and inquire about it later."
Ming Wei quickly stopped: "No, I don't want to go through the back door again. Anyway, the money I earn as a translator is enough to support myself. Acting depends on luck. It's not worth it to owe others for extra money." This audition is a good opportunity, but it is not necessary.
Essential.
After ending the call, Mingwei heated a glass of milk, then opened her laptop and watched the popular drama "Feng Yi" starring Wang Yingying.
The opening chapter is a background story, Ming Wei just fast forwards and only watches Wang Yingying's scenes. Wang Yingying is a typical oval-faced beauty, and the costume is very beautiful, but from the perspective of the audience, Ming Wei would give her a seven out of 10 in conscience.
.In view of the cliche Mary Sue lines in the plot, Mingwei persisted and died heroically after half an episode.
Mingwei collapsed on the sofa, obviously she had no hope, but she couldn't help but feel restless.
There's a phone number, Cheng Yao's.
Ming Wei answered the question and said before Cheng Yao could speak: "If you're a man, just be happy. If you keep pestering me, I will only look down on you."
There was silence on the other side.
Mingwei hung up the phone and put Cheng Yao on the blacklist. Her mood became even worse. Mingwei drank the milk in one breath and went to the mall with her bag.
While Ming Wei was wandering around the mall shopping, the crew of "The First Assistant of the Ming Dynasty" ended the preliminary selection of the female lead. In fact, the crew had already completed preparations, but the previous female lead had an unexpected pregnancy and regretfully quit. In order to catch up with the filming schedule, the crew immediately held a meeting in the afternoon.
Make final selection.
After half an hour of discussion, there were only two photos left on the big screen, one of Ming Wei and one of Wang Yingying.
In the seven-person meeting, three people supported Wang Yingying. The reason was that Wang Yingying is very popular now, has fans, and her acting skills are suitable for the role. The three people who voted for Mingwei thought that Mingwei had a tender face and a classic temperament, and looked more suitable for Minghua.
There is no problem with the princess's character being a vase.
"Three to three, it's up to Director Zhang." The producer leaned back in his chair and looked at Director Zhang.
Director Zhang clasped his hands together, pondered over the photo for a minute, and suggested: "Tingzhou and Princess Minghua are half a couple. Why don't we let Tingzhou see which one is easier to call?"
The six people agreed, and Director Zhang contacted Mu Tingzhou's agent, Xiao Zhao, on the spot.
Xiao Zhao received the photo, smiled, walked to the edge of the swimming pool, and said to the man who had just finished a round of freestyle swimming: "Princess Minghua has finally been selected. Director Zhang, please make up your mind." He squatted down and raised the phone to Mu
In front of Tingzhou, he first introduced the first photo: "This is Wang Yingying, whom I met at Guiyun Tower that day."
Mu Tingzhou had no expression on his face.
The photo slides to the second one: "A pure newcomer, not famous."
He was testing that if Mu Tingzhou really had no special feelings for Miss Ming, then based on Mu Tingzhou's usual attitude towards women, he would not recognize that the girl in the photo was the Italian translator.
"Newcomer." Mu Tingzhou climbed ashore, revealing his perfect body, sexy abs, slim waist and long legs.
Xiao Zhao laughed inexplicably: "Reason?"
Mu Tingzhou walked past him, and the voice that came over him was indifferent and concise: "Better to the eyes than the first one."
Xiao Zhao shrugged and told Director Zhang his choice for the Best Actor.
Director Zhang here had just announced the final candidate for the female lead when the producer suddenly received a call from Dongying’s boss Mr. Lu: “Has the female lead been decided?”
The producer said cautiously: "We have decided on the newcomer Ming Wei, do you want to review it again?"
"Need not."
At the top of the group, Mr. Lu put down his mobile phone and said to Cheng Yao, who was wearing a gray suit on the sofa: "Congratulations to Mr. Cheng, Ms. Ming has won the heroine due to her strength. You don't need to worry about it anymore."
Cheng Yao was slightly startled, he didn't expect Ming Wei to have such good luck, but he quickly adjusted his expression and said with a smile: "Dongying is really smart and discerning, but I still have to invest in a TV show where my woman participates, let alone investing in Dongying."
Filmmaking is a business where you can make a profit without losing any money. I hope Mr. Lu will give me a chance to get a share of the pie."
Since Wang Yingying believed that Mingwei was recommended by him for the audition and ridiculed him for his lack of vision, then when the news of his investment in the crew spreads, Mingwei would definitely guess that it was all his fault that she got this role. Women are the easiest
Touched, he then strikes while the iron is hot, behaves well, and strives to get back together with Ming Wei.
The Taifu was about to marry someone else. In order to prove her status in the Taifu's heart, Princess Minghua repeated her old trick and climbed up a tree, insisting that the Taifu come to pick her up. However, the Taifu sent someone to invite the Queen Mother, who mercilessly lectured her.
