Chapter 272 Show Your Masterpiece
At this time, a white car stopped at the entrance of the hotel.

Tang Wan and Liu Peipei got out of the car.

In order to leave a good impression on the investors and directors, both of them dressed up carefully.

Tang Wan wore a knee-length skirt and a beige blouse with short sleeves. Her outfit was very restrained and she exuded the temperament of a homely woman.

What she wanted most was the role of Ma Dongmei, so she deliberately dressed herself to be a housewife.

What Liu Peipei wants to fight for is the role of Qiuya, and she has to dress younger.

Jeans and white short-sleeved shirts are very youthful and energetic.

She is a college student herself, so she has no problem playing the role of a high school student.

If she plays a bigger and more mature role of a mature lady, she can also handle it.

"Little Wan!"

At this time, a long-haired woman standing at the door walked towards the two of them.

The woman was about the same age as Tang Wan, around thirty years old, but she was dressed very business-like, in a white skirt, a red tight top, and a pair of red high heels. Just by looking at her, you could tell that she was not someone to be trifled with.

The woman's name is Zhou Yan. She is Tang Wan's friend and also an agent in the circle. She will negotiate this role on behalf of both of them.

"There's a bit of a traffic jam on the road, you must be anxious waiting."

"No, I just got here too." Zhou Yan looked at her watch and said, "Let's go quickly. The investor is here too. Don't make him wait anxiously."

"Come on."

The three of them quickened their pace and walked towards the hotel.

"Teacher Tang, Sister Yan, look at that girl, isn't she Liu Wenwen?"

Just when I was about to reach the hotel entrance, I saw a woman wearing jeans and an LV shirt, wearing sunglasses and a mask, and a middle-aged man, also walking quickly towards the hotel.

"It seems to be her." Tang Wan said.

"I heard from Mr. Fang that he plans to invite her to play the role of Ma Dongmei, but you also have a chance. It depends on whether you can get it."

"She starred in 'Youth Prose Poems' some time ago, and it's very popular now. The hot searches about her are on the Internet every day."

"The current trending search list is a garbage dump. As long as you spend money, you can get on it by farting. But she is indeed very popular now." Zhou Yan said:

"Just do your best. No matter how big or small the role is, as long as there is a chance to show our faces, even if it's just one line, we have to fight for it."

"clear."

Arriving at the hotel, the three of them went to the elevator entrance.

At this time, Liu Wenwen and her agent also walked over.

"Hurry, hurry, people are coming!"

The hotel manager called out, and four security guards trotted towards Liu Wenwen and protected her in the middle.

Liu Wenwen lowered her head and subconsciously quickened her pace as she walked towards the elevator.

Such a scene also attracted the attention of other people in the hotel.

However, this is the Ritz-Carlton. Anyone who can live here can be said to be either rich or noble. Even if they are chasing stars, they will not be like those brainless fans who just look from a distance and be done with it.

Liu Wenwen's behavior was indeed a bit unnecessary, and no one took her seriously.

After all, she just became popular because of a movie, and she is not yet as famous as a first-tier actress.

At this time, the elevator stopped on the first floor and the elevator door opened.

Just as Tang Wan and the other two were about to go in, Liu Wenwen's agent stopped them.

"You guys wait for the elevator next to us, we'll go up first."

As he said that, he blocked the three people outside, let Liu Wenwen enter the elevator first, and he followed closely behind, not allowing any outsiders to come up.

"This guy is too arrogant." Liu Peipei couldn't help but complain.

"Just get used to it."

Tang Wan acted very calmly. She had guest-starred in several plays before, which gave her a deeper understanding of the people in this industry.

Everyone wears a mask. In front of the camera, they are all good men, good wives and mothers, and courteous to others. In fact, they are all wearing hypocritical masks.

Because they were all unknown in the circle, the three of them didn't dare to argue about anything.

If someone just casually posts a Weibo post about it, you would be the one being cyberbullied.

In the elevator, Liu Wenwen did not take off her mask and sunglasses and said:
"I heard that there are other people coming to audition today?"

"A few newcomers don't pose any threat to you. The so-called audition is just a formality to give Li Wenzhong some face." Liu Wenwen's agent, Jin Yelei said.

"Director Ma also contacted me yesterday and wanted me to act in a youth romance film. Brother Lei, please talk to Director Ma and ask if he can wait for my schedule."

"Okay, I'll try to contact him. With your fame and status in the circle, this little thing shouldn't be a big deal."

Soon, the elevator reached the 28th floor, and the two came to the door of 2818 and knocked on the door.

The person who opened the door was Fang Jie. After seeing Liu Wenwen and the others, she welcomed them in.

"Please come in."

After the two came in, Fang Jie introduced them to each other.

When Liu Wenwen learned that Lin Jiang was the investor, she was extremely surprised.

It's rare to see someone so handsome and also an investor in this circle.

At the same time, Lin Jiang was also looking at Liu Wenwen and couldn't help frowning.

[Name: Liu Wenwen]

[Singing talent: 61]

【Drama Talent: 72】

This level can be said to be very average.

But I have to say that her appearance and figure are both remarkable.

If you can make it in the entertainment industry, you may have the support of financial backers. With a little packaging, buying some hot searches, and establishing a personal image, you will become famous.

Dangdangdang——

Just then, there was another knock on the door. Fang Jie went to open the door, and Tang Wan and the other two appeared outside.

"Hello, Mr. Fang."

Zhou Yan was the first to extend her hand. At the same time, Tang Wan and Liu Peipei also greeted politely.

"Hello, come in."

The three people walked in, and Fang Jie introduced the three people to Li Wenzhong, and the audition began.

"Let them come first. After we finish the audition, we can talk about other things." Jin Yelei said.

Lin Jiang and the other two had no objection to this; it didn't matter who came first.

However, Lin Jiang no longer has any interest in Liu Wenwen.

"Let me go first." As a teacher, Tang Wan took the lead and stepped forward first.

Li Wenzhong held the script and said:
"You have all read the script, let's try the scene where Ma Dongmei scolds Xia Luo at the wedding."

After reading the script overnight yesterday, Tang Wan was already very familiar with the content.

I also know this scene, it is one of the famous scenes in this movie.

Tang Wan sorted out her emotions and quickly got into the role.

"Charlotte, didn't you tell me that you went to visit your mother's grave?"

"Qiuya is getting married, and you are dressed like a feather duster..."

"Qiu Ya..."

With Tang Wan's performance, each line of dialogue was restored to the original to the greatest extent possible.

Lin Jiang watched it carefully and felt it was very good. Except for the fact that the clothes were a little bit wrong, all other aspects had the flavor of the original.

Afterwards, Lin Jiang asked Tang Wan to try out the role of Qiu Ya, which was about the scene where she learned that Xia Luo had AIDS.

From a false alarm to panic, and then to anger, the emotional transitions and progression are also very good.

But in comparison, Lin Jiang still thinks she is more suitable for the role of Ma Dongmei.

Next is Liu Peipei's. In comparison with Tang Wan, her performance in the same two scenes is a little worse as she failed to grasp Ma Dongmei's personality traits well. She could have tried the role of Qiu Ya.

After the two finished their performance, it was Liu Wenwen's turn. Jin Yelei looked at Tang Wan and the other two and said:
"You guys go back first. We need to talk about the character of Ma Dongmei. It's not good for outsiders to be here."

"chat?"

Lin Jiang looked at Jin Yelei and said, "Didn't I give you the script in advance?"

"There's actually nothing much to talk about in terms of the script. With Liu Wenwen's ability, it's easy for her to play a role like this. There's no difficulty at all."

Jin Yelei smiled and said:
"I read the script yesterday and felt that Ma Dongmei's role was a little too small and the character setting wasn't very good. I suggest some revisions."

Li Wenzhong didn't say anything. As a director, he hated actors who changed their script on the spot the most.

There is no need to modify the script in front of us. We must not easily modify the script just to add more scenes for someone, otherwise it will be a mess.

Lin Jiang raised his eyebrows and glanced at Jin Yelei.

"How do you want to change it?"

"The character of Ma Dongmei comes from an ordinary family. I suggest changing her to a rich girl who is determined to be with Xia Luo for love. This will better highlight the character's personality and add a lot of highlights to the whole movie."

"You know so much, why don't you take the photo?"

After being retorted by Lin Jiang, Jin Yelei was speechless and dared not say a word.

As the investor of this play, Lin Jiang has more say than Li Wenzhong, and Jin Yelei, as the agent, doesn't dare to say much.

Tang Wan and the other two were standing nearby, so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe.

The investor seems to be in a bad mood.

"Try the play and see how it works."

"With Wenwen's level, it should be unnecessary. Her acting skills are obvious to all. All directors who have worked with her praise her for her talent." Jin Yelei said politely.

"What's her level? What awards has she won? Tell me about it."

Jin Yelei was speechless once again and felt a little embarrassed.

"I'm ready and can audition now."

Liu Wenwen took the script, prepared a little, and began to read the lines.

There was no problem with the expression, and the scene was performed well.

But it always felt wrong, as if I was always being pretentious and not getting into the role itself.

However, there is a clear gap between her dialogue delivery skills and Tang Wan's. Even an outsider like me can see it, so don't remind Li Wenzhong and Fang Jie.

"Do you want to prepare again? I feel that your condition just now was not right. Or you can try the role of Qiuya again." Lin Jiang said.

"Forget about Qiuya. I won't take the role of the second female lead now."

Lin Jiang had a blank expression on his face. He no longer had any interest in Liu Wenwen and turned to look at Li Zizhong.

"Director Li, what do you mean?"

"My performance just now was not ideal. Let's try to find the feeling of the character again." Li Wenzhong said:
"The character of Ma Dongmei was born in an ordinary family, was not good at studying, and later practiced javelin, but she never compromised with life. You have to show her strength, especially the scene where she made a scene at the wedding. Although she had no money, her momentum was not inferior to anyone else. Do you understand what I mean?"

"No problem, I'll do it again."

After a few seconds, Liu Wenwen found the feeling and started the second performance.

But the effect was not much better than the first time; it was still very pretentious and failed to show Ma Dongmei's aura.

"Let's put this scene aside for now. You can act out the scene where Ma Dongmei and Xia Luo meet again many years later."

Li Wenzhong gave Liu Wenwen another chance.

"The other person went from being a secret crush to a household name, while she herself became an ordinary middle-aged woman. The difference in identity and status between the two made her become reserved and she could no longer face Charlotte like before. Try to find this state."

Liu Wenwen was a little impatient.

With your acting skills, shouldn't it be easy for you to play this kind of role?

This is the third time I’ve tried it over and over again. Do you really think you’re one of those third-rate actors?
"Okay, I'll give this scene a try."

Liu Wenwen suppressed her unhappiness and flipped through the script. After searching for a while, she finally found the content of the scene. She read the lines and began to act.

After the performance, Lin Jiang and the other two remained silent and did not make any statement.

Liu Wenwen threw the script aside and said:
"Boss Lin, Director Li, you must have seen my plays. This role is not complicated. I have full confidence in handling such a role. I also have someone I can recommend to you. If we act together, the effect will definitely be better."

"The role hasn't been decided yet. You go back and wait for notification, and we'll discuss it again." Lin Jiang said.

"Discuss?" Liu Wenwen raised her voice. She even thought she had heard it wrong.

Lin Jiang nodded gently, his patience exhausted.

Liu Wenwen's face was filled with displeasure. She pointed at Tang Wan and Liu Peipei and said:
"Am I not as good as them?"

"I didn't say you're not as good as them, but we still need to think about who to use."

"Boss Lin, Director Li, this is just a low-budget movie with a budget of 3000 million. I was already given face by being able to take this role and even destroy my image. Now, not only did you let me audition with a few amateurs, but you still couldn't decide after the audition. You really look down on me, Liu Wenwen."

"The cost is none of your business. This is the rule. If you are not satisfied, I will not force you to stay."

"In this case, there is no need for cooperation."

Liu Wenwen picked up her bag and turned to leave. Jin Yelei followed closely behind her, without even putting on a show of effort, and just turned and left.

If there is no need for cooperation, there is no need to save face.

"Brother Lei, please help me contact Director Ma. I want to be in their play. I want to let these people know that it would be their loss if they don't use me, Liu Wenwen!"

"These two films were planned to be shot together. One is a youth comedy, and the other is a romance. The shooting schedule is basically fixed, so there is a possibility that the release dates may clash."

"No one can support their rubbish script except me, Liu Wenwen. Now I'm not acting anymore. Even if the box office reaches 1000 million, it's my loss!"
