Chapter 929: Act Out The Scene
Jia Qiulian knew that Fan Xiaobo was always selective in choosing actors. He always adhered to the principle of "better than worse." He could even change the supporting role's actress in the middle of shooting. She knew that his request wasn't something that a normal person could do.
But she wasn't nervous at all. She had nothing now, and she was willing to give it a shot.
"Uh ... I don't have any formal acting training, but I've been in microfilms. I know Director Fan won't put this little thing in his eyes, but I can go through the normal audition process. As long as Director Fan thinks it's okay, I'm happy to be part of this, but if Director Fan doesn't think my acting is okay, that means I didn't perform well enough."
"Qiulian!" Han Cihui tugged at her clothes. He whispered in her ear, "Don't be too full of yourself. What if you really can't do it?"
Jia Qiulian smiled and said, "I want to try it. If I don't, how will I know whether I have a chance or not?"
Qin Yu was also worried that Jia Qiulian mightn't pass Fan Xiaobo's audition. She helped her appeal to Fan Xiaobo. "Director Fan, acting on microfilm can be considered an acting skill. Besides, there are still a few days left before the movie continues shooting. In these few days, I can teach her acting. I believe that her understanding ability must be very good. She'll definitely be able to satisfy your heart."
"En!" Han Cihui nodded. "I can also teach her."
Fan Xiaobo was a little indecisive. It seemed that Qin Yu and Han Cihui were adamant that Jia Qiulian be the second female lead. Other than him, Liang Jiahao was the only one who could speak here.
Considering the relationship between Liang Jiahao, Qin Yu, and Han Cihui, he would definitely speak for Jia Qiulian.
For the main character, Fan Xiaobo had absolute authority, but for the secondary character, he felt that there was no reason to be strict.
But... if Jia Qiulian's acting skills were too poor, the quality of the movie would be greatly diminished. Don't look at how small the supporting role is, it can still affect the overall quality of the movie. So Fan Xiaobo didn't want to use someone like Jia Qiulian, who didn't know anything about acting as the second female lead.
Of course, Jia Qiulian knew about Fan Xiaobo's conflict. She confidently said, "Director Fan, why don't we do a simple audition here?"
"Qiulian!" Han Cihui was so anxious that he whispered in her ear again. "You don't have to do this. Even if you don't have any acting skills, Liang Jiahao is still here! With just one word from him, the role will easily be yours. Don't poke at something you can't do."
Fan Xiaobo could guess what Han Cihui and Jia Qiulian were talking about. For him, her suggestion was indeed the best one.
"Alright, then I'll give you a scene. You can do a non-physical performance."
Fan Xiaobo thought for a moment and said, "This is the scene in which you'll perform. You'll show us the scene in which you've just witnessed your boyfriend cheating. The character you're going to play is a stubborn girl. She has a strong sense of self-worth. Okay, that's it. Let's start with your performance."
Han Cihui looked at Jia Qiulian nervously. Only he knew that she had just committed suicide.
As for the reason why she committed suicide, he only had to think about it seriously to understand it. She must have been broken up by her boyfriend.
Fan Xiaobo's request was definitely another stab into Jia Qiulian's scarred heart!
Jia Qiulian took a deep breath and walked to the center of the empty room.
Qin Yu and Liang Jiahao automatically stood to the side to give her space.
"Director Fan," seeing that Jia Qiulian had made up her mind, Han Cihui stepped up to her side. "For someone who never learned how to act, it's hard for her to act without a real subject. How about... I'll accompany her acting. I'll play the bastard."
Fan Xiaobo didn't think it was a big deal, so he nodded and agreed. "Okay."
Han Cihui took a deep breath. He smiled at Jia Qiulian. "For you, I'll go all out. Just so you know, I've never acted like a bastard in my life."
"Hahahaha..." Qin Yu, who was next to him, poked his heart roughly. "Uncle Cihui, it's not that you don't act, but you don't have the chance to act! You're almost thirty years old and you don't even have a girlfriend. That's because other people haven't given you a chance, you know?"
Han Cihui looked at Qin Yu gloomily. He took a deep breath and then closed his eyes, letting himself fall into the role of the bastard.
Jia Qiulian also closed her eyes and thought about the scene. When she opened her eyes again, she already had an idea in her heart.
"Han Cihui, are you ready?"
Han Cihui nodded. "I'm ready."
"Me too." Jia Qiulian also nodded.
Han Cihui wanted to walk to the side and do the bastard act of hugging the beauty, but he heard a loud sound in his ears.
Slap!
A slap landed on his face.
Within an instant, a clear five-finger mark appeared on his face. Han Cihui was immediately stunned at the scene.
Qin Yu and Liang Jiahao's lips twitched at the same time. Qin Yu couldn't help but raise her hand to touch her face. It was as if the slap had hit her in the face. Just from that sound, one could tell how painful it was for Han Cihui.
However, Jia Qiulian was unaffected by Han Cihui's shocked expression. Her eyes suddenly turned red, and tears welled up in her eyes, but they didn't fall.
She looked at Han Cihui without saying a word. She just stared at him with hatred and anger.
Han Cihui suddenly felt guilty while staring at Jia Qiulian. He wanted to hold her hand, but who'd have thought that the corner of Jia Qiulian's mouth would suddenly curve into a mocking smile? Then she looked to his side.
There was no one at Han Cihui's side, but Jia Qiulian kept staring in that direction as if someone were really standing next to him.
She only gave one glance at the person next to Han Cihui, then turned around and left without saying a word.
As Jia Qiulian walked to the door, she covered her face and laughed loudly. Only then did everyone recover from her performance.
Everyone thought that she had finished her performance. Qin Yu raised her hand and clapped for Jia Qiulian. Who knew that after two claps, Jia Qiulian suddenly lowered her hand? Her face was full of tears and everyone was shocked.
