Quick Wear: The Rescue Plan of the Male Supporting Actor of the Popular Cannon Fodder

Chapter 273: Saving the Paranoid and Vengeful Business Leader 17

"What audition role and audition clip did you draw?" Director Zheng asked.

"The role I drew was Rao Fengxian. The scene was the one where the brothel owner told her that the man she loved was already married before she officially started receiving customers." Wen Yang replied.

After hearing this, Director Zheng was delighted, because this was exactly the part he had painstakingly selected.

The character of Rao Fengxian was sold to a brothel since she was a child. Before she officially started to receive customers, she was often abused by the brothel owner and the pimp. Therefore, she has always been longing for someone to rescue her from the brothel.

On her way out one day, Rao Fengxian accidentally fell and met a man who helped her up from the ground and gently bandaged her wound. Rao Fengxian then fell in love with that man.

When the man later learned that Rao Fengxian was a prostitute, he did not show any disgust. Instead, he came to the brothel to visit her from time to time.

After a long time, Rao Fengxian fell in love with the man.

After she told the man her feelings, he promised that he would redeem her before the brothel owner forced her to sell herself.

However, after that, the man seemed to have disappeared.

The brothel owner also began to force Rao Fengxian to receive customers, but Rao Fengxian refused to comply and continued to wait for her Xiao Lang with all her heart.

Unexpectedly, she heard from the brothel owner that Xiao Lang had gotten married a few days ago...

After learning the truth, Rao Fengxian was heartbroken. From then on, she began to obediently follow the arrangements of the brothel owner. After showing her talents, she was bought by a powerful man who spent a huge amount of money and later became a famous prostitute in the brothel.

It can be said that this scene is a key node in the transformation of Rao Fengxian's character. Before learning the truth, she was a naive, romantic and love-believing prostitute. After learning the truth, she became a sophisticated and realistic prostitute who no longer believed in love.

This instantaneous change is a great test of the actor's acting skills.

"If you are ready, just let me know." Zheng Ming said.

Wen Yang's previous performance had already given him enough surprises, so at this moment he would rather wait and give Wen Yang more time to prepare.

Wen Yang nodded slightly at Zheng Ming's thoughtfulness, "Director, I'm ready. This scene requires me to sit in front of the dressing table. Please give me a chair, and then we can start directly." Zheng Ming didn't seem to expect Wen Yang to answer so quickly. He was slightly stunned, then turned and nodded to the staff waiting on the side.

The staff quickly brought a chair, and after Wen Yang sat down, the crisp sound of the clapperboard rang out.

The staff member said the first prompt word, "Naive."

The moment this voice sounded, Wen Yang instantly entered the role. She raised her head slightly and asked innocently to the air beside her: "Xiao Mei, do you think Xiao Lang will come to redeem me today?"

Wen Yang's eyes were sparkling, as if filled with anticipation.

But soon, those bright eyes dimmed a little, and then she said stubbornly: "Xiaomei, I know you are worried about me, but Xiao Lang is not that kind of person. He said he would come, and he will definitely come."

Wen Yang stroked his head lightly with his hand, as if pulling something out, and then excitedly handed it forward, "Here, look, this is the jade hairpin he gave me. He said it's our token of love!"

In this scene, Wen Yang vividly portrays the side of Rao Fengxian that still believes in love. Even though she is refuted by her friend Xiaomei in the brothel, she still tries her best to make excuses for Xiao Lang, believing that Xiao Lang was just delayed and therefore did not come to redeem her.

This scene was much better than Lu Qinqin's performance just now. Although Lu Qinqin can dance, she didn't show such details in her acting. Although she also acted according to the lines, it always felt a little off. It felt like an old cow pretending to be a young grass...

Soon, the assistant announced the second prompt word, "Panic."

The moment this prompt was announced, Wen Yang's whole body shuddered, as if he was frightened by some movement beside him.

Then she immediately stood up, walked to the side, lowered her head slightly, put on a slightly flattering expression, and asked softly: "Mom, why are you here..."

After a brief silence, Wen Yang's face darkened rapidly, from panic to an expression of disbelief and pallor. Her eyes widened, her breathing became rapid, and her steps became unsteady. It was as if she had lost her balance and was on the verge of collapse after learning the truth...

With trembling lips, she said, "No, I don't believe it. This isn't true... Xiao Lang clearly said he would redeem me and take me back as his wife. How could he possibly marry another woman... Xiao Lang wouldn't treat me like this..."

After saying this line, Wen Yang's eyes gradually became empty, and the innocence in his eyes just now disappeared, but soon, other emotions emerged in those empty eyes.

The disappointment and anger after being betrayed were perfectly portrayed by Wen Yang, and it was not the kind of awkward acting that was over-exerted, but an emotion that flowed naturally!

This feeling is exactly what Zheng Ming hopes the actors can achieve!

Next, the staff called out a few more prompts, and Wen Yang performed them perfectly.

Moreover, the switching between emotions is very smooth, as if there is no jamming at all.

After Wen Yang finished his performance, Zheng Ming suppressed his excitement and said to Wen Yang in front of him slowly, "Okay, you can go out first."

"Okay." Wen Yang nodded politely and left the audition room.

As soon as Wen Yang left, Zheng Ming drew a five-pointed star on Wen Yang's resume.

Deputy Daoist Wang, who was standing nearby, saw the symbol Zheng Ming had drawn and asked, "Old Zheng, is this a done deal?"

"Yeah." Zheng Ming replied indifferently.

"Then who are the ones who haven't auditioned yet?" Assistant Director Wang looked a little surprised.

Zheng Ming raised his eyelids and glanced at Assistant Director Wang with an indecipherable expression. "Do you think there are many newcomers with such strong acting skills?"

After hearing this, Assistant Director Wang smiled awkwardly and said, "That's true."

Then, Assistant Director Wang asked, "Wouldn't it be a waste of talent to let such a talented newcomer play a role like Rao Fengxian, which has such a small screen time?"

Zheng Ming didn't answer Assistant Director Wang's question. Instead, he went past him and asked the screenwriter, "In half a month, can you reduce the originally scheduled second female lead's role and increase Rao Fengxian's role a little, turning her into the second female lead? Is that possible?"

After hearing Zheng Ming's words, the screenwriter was stunned at first, and then immediately replied excitedly: "Of course we can do it!"

After all, he had just watched Wen Yang's vivid performance and had many new ideas about the role of Rao Fengxian.

Zheng Ming nodded, “Then I’ll leave it to you.”

The producer beside him panicked when he heard this, "Hey! Didn't Tiansheng Entertainment specify that the second female lead be played by an actress named Jiang Mengran? Will they have any objections to this..."

Hearing the producer's words, Zheng Ming rolled his eyes and said coldly, "It's my movie, I can shoot it however I want. If they have any objections, let them take their own artists back. How can someone who doesn't even want to audition have the right to make demands on me?"

"Don't worry if Tiansheng Entertainment withdraws its investment because of this. Ji's will make up for it anyway." Zheng Mingyun said calmly.

"Ah? Ji family?" the producer asked, somewhat puzzled. "Did Ji family also send someone?"

"Don't meddle in things that are not your business."

Zheng Ming's words were merciless, so the producer had no choice but to shut up...
