A few crew mbers were busy organizing things and adjusting equipnt, making final preparations for the upcoming new drama.
Bi Huo entered the audition room with a little girl who looked as exquisite as a doll, with big eyes and a pretty face.
Although everyone continued with their tasks, their attention was drawn towards Jiang An’an.
The new drama required a young actress for the lead role, and dozens of girls had auditioned over the past days.
But Jiang An’an was the first one to be this beautiful and charming!
"Xiao Mao, co over here for the audition!"
As Bi Huo walked in, he called out to a boy with dyed blonde hair, wearing a baseball cap, and revealing a large tattoo on his arm.
"Got it, Brother Huo!"
Xiao Mao was the crew’s caraman, and he often helped the producer and director with auditioning actors.
Soon, Xiao Mao started up a cara, and as he aid it at Jiang An’an, he began to fine-tune the paraters.
"OK! Ready!"
After adjusting the cara settings, Xiao Mao gave Bi Huo an "OK" signal, indicating they could start the audition.
"Great, very relaxed expression, yes, keep it up, yes, yes, yes, don’t be nervous."
"Not bad, not bad, good presence on cara."
Bi Huo watched the footage appearing on the monitor and couldn’t help but nod continuously.
Even though Jiang An’an hadn’t perford yet, or spoken a line, just standing in front of the cara, she was a perfect picture.
Jiang An’an’s looks were easily the most stunning among all the young girls auditioned by the crew, hands down!
Moreover, Jiang An’an had a strong cara presence, acting naturally and gracefully in front of the lens.
This might sound simple, but only those who’ve tried it know how difficult it is!
Without professional training, or for those with less confidence.
They often feel uneasy just taking photos with family, friends, or colleagues.
Their smiles may turn stiff, and the resulting photos look unnatural.
Even a trivial act of smiling at the cara requires practice to do well.
For the sa smile, so people’s expressions are stiff, giving an impression of being fake.
Yet, so people can make a smile expressive and turn it into a classic scene.
For instance, the captivating smile from the Silk Fairy before leading the donkey into the cave in "Zhu Bajie".
Anyone who’s seen that movie would find it hard to forget that smile.
The sa goes for eye contact; so appear dull and lifeless, while others can portray deep emotion.
The gaze Little Dragon Girl gives Yang Guo in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" remains a classic even decades later.
The act of auditioning might seem like testing the basics of basics.
But it reveals whether an actor’s skills are superficial or solid!
Joy, anger, sadness, happiness, worry...
Jiang An’an’s audition lasted for over ten minutes.
She gave everyone a taste of what it ans to be "born with a silver spoon in one’s mouth"!
Despite having no professional training, Jiang An’an was able to channel any emotion Bi Huo asked her to portray within seconds.
Her smile was as sweet as an angel descending to earth.
When she cried, she appeared delicate and vulnerable, her tears flowing naturally, touching even the hearts of the stout n in the room.
Even though Director Qu hasn’t seen the audition tape yet, Bi Huo sensed she had almost certainly secured the lead role!
In over two years of working in the short movie industry, having handled nearly a hundred short films.
Bi Huo had never encountered such a phenonally talented young actress like Jiang An’an; she was simply astonishing!
She had that lovable look that naturally drew favor from everyone.
Her acting was superb, her emotions convincing, and her expressions perfectly delivered!
She was genuinely born to be an actress!
The future of the short film industry will undoubtedly have a place for her!
Watching Jiang An’an, Bi Huo felt like witnessing a radiant star gradually rising!
"Please wait a mont! I’ll go find Director Qu right now!"
Bi Huo hastily spoke to Jiang Tao and the others, quickly leaving with the copies of Jiang An’an’s audition material to find Qu Lei.
"An’an did great, I feel it should be in the bag this ti."
Jiang Tao was also captivated today by Jiang An’an’s natural and vivid performance, warmly praising her.
"Thank you, Uncle Jiang Tao~ I hope so!"
Jiang An’an looked at Jiang Tao with sparkling eyes, very happy to receive his praise.
She wanted more than anyone to get this short drama role.
"An’an, you are amazing."
Jiang Hai’s gaze towards his daughter was complicated, filled with admiration and guilt.
It was only today he realized how gifted his daughter was in acting!
If Mr. Jiang hadn’t suggested she audition for the role, wouldn’t he have been holding her back?
Jiang Hai silently credited Jiang Tao in his heart, feeling indebted to him again.
...
Elsewhere.
After leaving, Bi Huo hurried excitedly to Qu Lei’s office and knocked on the door.
"Co in!"
Upon hearing Qu Lei’s voice inside, Bi Huo quickly opened the door and entered.
"Old Bi? What’s going on?"
Seeing Bi Huo’s excited expression, Qu Lei couldn’t help but feel a bit expectant as well.
Could it be that Yang Tiantian is well enough to be discharged?
If that was true, it would indeed be good news.
But Qu Lei knew it was unlikely.
After all, the symptoms of acute pneumonia are quite apparent.
