Chapter 8 The Poor Woman

In the early morning of June 16th, Chen An was sitting in the coffee shop drinking coffee and looking at the street view outside. He was accompanied by the casting director Liu Shi found for him. He was also a 33-year-old Meng Wei who had worked with him twice. A mature man wearing black-rimmed glasses.

He has thin cheeks and an indifferent expression. It's not that he has any objections to Chen An, but his personality is like this. Chen An seems much gentler in front of him, so people's aura is really relative, but Chen An just doesn't like it. It's just like talking too much, it's not really cold.

This is what the first interviewer saw when he arrived. The two sat on the seats, one with a calm expression, and the other with sharp eyes, exuding a cold aura. The girl who was being interviewed was too scared to go over.

After finally hesitating, I said nervously, "Hello."

"You were eliminated." Meng Wei said coldly.

"what?"

The girl was stunned, she got up early in the morning, put on makeup and rushed to the subway for an hour to be the first to arrive, and was eliminated just after saying hello?
She was at a loss, even Chen An turned to look at Meng Wei.

In fact, he also gave this girl a no in his heart just now, but this kind of ruthless behavior...

He really hadn't interviewed an actor with Meng Wei before, and it was the first time he saw this man's style of work, but since that was the case, that was the only way to go.

Chen An shook his head, and said to the girl opposite: "I'm sorry, your aura is too weak, and you can't suppress the character. Thank you for your hard work."

It's an explanation.

The girl subconsciously said, "It's okay."

After nodding, he turned around and left in a daze. He didn't come back to his senses until he was blown by the cold wind when he got out of the coffee shop.

Was eliminated just like that?
Can't hold back the aura?
She was a little dazed and unwilling, but in the end she could only bite her lip and turn her head away.

In the coffee shop, Chen An took a sip of coffee calmly, did not communicate with Meng Wei, let alone persuade him, it is unnecessary, it is good for their work efficiency.

Soon, the second person came. The first girl was at least a long-legged beauty with the height and appearance of a model, but this one was much worse. She even looked a bit burly. Wearing a black lady's suit, she felt Like dropping in for an interview before going to work.

"Hello, teachers."

This somewhat burly and chubby woman greeted Chen An with a portion of soy milk. Chen An nodded and looked at Meng Wei. Sure enough, Meng Wei did not disappoint him. After looking him up and down, he said, "You can go now." ,Not suitable."

The woman's complexion immediately changed when she heard this, she glanced at Meng Wei in disgust and said: "What kind of air is a bad crew, do you know how to respect people?"

After she finished speaking, she turned her head and left. Thinking about it, she also knew that she didn't meet the requirements. It was just luck to come here, but she still felt a little offended by such a straightforward rejection.

Meng Wei was not annoyed when he was scolded, his expression was cold as if he hadn't heard it, and Chen An was not as knowledgeable as Meng Wei, and his brows were slightly frowned, but this is what happens when interviewing for the Actors Union. Any situation will happen, there is no way, he didn't say much when he thought of this.

Then the third, the fourth...

As time goes by, more and more people come here, among them there are some beauties with Internet celebrity temperament, good figure and temperament, but the acting skills are a mess, this kind of person who was directly chased away by Meng Wei, also has good figure and temperament and good acting skills, But it lacks the feeling of fitting the character, but Chen An still recorded a few.

After interviewing at least 300 people in one day, Chen An recorded nine candidates when he returned.

Continue on the next day. There are fewer people today than yesterday, but in terms of overall quality, it is still higher. At least the acting skills will be better. In the afternoon, Chen An inadvertently glanced outside and noticed a person , the woman with long hair and shawls has a calm face, wearing a surgical gown and a white coat, standing out in the crowd.

Chen An took a serious look at her, and it was obvious that she had worked hard.

Soon, that woman came to Chen An. This person was naturally Su Wan. She went straight to the hospital after going out the day before yesterday, and followed the doctor and nurse seriously for two days, so the doctor couldn't help but come over and ask her Not sick.

Then she went to spend a huge sum of money to buy a complete set of doctor's suits, and came here after two days of preparation. If it wasn't for the worry that the interview would end early, she would observe for another day.

At this time, Su Wan who was ready stood in front of Chen An and said seriously: "Hello, Director Chen, teacher, my name is Su Wan, and I'm here to interview the heroine."

She had a special aura when she stood in front of Chen An, elegant and calm.

Chen An nodded, stretched out his hand to signal the opposite side and said, "Sit."

Meng Wei did not object.

Su Wan calmly sat opposite Chen An and looked directly at Chen An, without any evasion in her eyes.

The way of greeting, the details after meeting, these have been rehearsed countless times in Su Wan's mind, she has no background, the only card she can play is herself.

The introduction of the heroine only has [-] words in total, and only [-] words are useful. She chewed these [-] words to understand to the extreme.

Chen An also looked at her, and first gave her a score in his heart. Among all the people before, Su Wan was No.1 in terms of the first impression.

"Have you acted before?" Chen An asked lightly.

Su Wan nodded, put the materials she had prepared on the table, and said at the same time: "This is the material I acted in before. I played the role of the third female in "Da Dao Lian". He played the role of Si Kou, the oiran, and Ma Xiaoluo, a female warrior in the movie "The National Art". There are thirteen roles in total, and hundreds of crews have been specially commissioned."

Ancient costumes, the Anti-Japanese War, and Chinese martial arts movies, the performances are quite mixed.

Chen An looked at the information and found that the girl graduated from a school majoring in dance and drama, and her major was not a match. What surprised him was that the girl was also good at martial arts. Personally, she was good at free combat, taekwondo, Wing Chun gossip, Xingyi Tai Chi will.

I don't know if it's true or just superficial.

He didn't care, handed a page of lines on the table to Su Wan and said, "Play the above scene again."

Su Wan nodded and took it. At this time, she was also relieved. Before she saw the person in front of her come in and left within a few seconds. Now at least it means that she has passed the first level, and it is Chen An who makes her feel more at ease. It's not like the kind of lecherous director who casts his eyes wildly after seeing her.

If that's the case, she may have to beat another director to the hospital.

Holding the script book, Su Wan watched it carefully, and after simulating the whole scene in her mind, she put down the script book and looked at Chen An.

"Ready?"

"kindness."

"let's start."

Su Wan pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked at Chen An and said, "I believe it."

Originally, I thought that Chen An or Meng Wei would answer the words, but both of them just stared at her without any intention of answering the words. It would be embarrassing for an ordinary person, but she was also mentally prepared, and after a pause, she continued unaffected The show went on.

With unbelievable shock and temptation in her eyes, Chi asked, "Is it because of a dream?"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Chen An's eyes and pupils flickering, filled with shock and joy, and finally said heavily: "I believe in you!"

"..."

Sentence after sentence, she completed the rest of the lines very well, with clear enunciation, good line skills, and a good grasp of the character's emotions. Finally, she looked at Chen An.

After the two looked at each other for a few seconds, Chen An lowered his head again, and said lightly, "Okay, not bad, go back and wait for the notification."

"Okay." Su Wan stopped the performance, nodded and got up, but hesitated when she was about to leave, and looked at the information in Chen An's hand with some confusion.

"What?" Chen An looked at her with a puzzled frown.

"Director Chen, why don't I give you my phone number, and you return the information?" Su Wan asked after discussing.

Chen An frowned a little: "Why?"

"That." Su Wan pointed to the information in Chen An's hand, and said honestly, "It's very expensive."

Chen An: "..."

After all calculations, I never expected such a reason.

Speechlessly, he took out his mobile phone and handed it to Su Wan along with the information, and said lightly, "Save the number."

"Okay." Su Wan felt relieved.

The cost of this material is three bucks a piece!The cost of living in Shanghai is inherently high, and her job is not stable, so she is very poor.

In the past, she handed out one to each crew, but they all fell into disrepair. Later, every time she went to the interview, she either didn't bring the documents, or she just took it back after the interview and just left a phone number, so as not to be thrown away for nothing.

Anyway, people who really think about her don't care about this, and people who don't think about her leave information and don't think about it. By the way, I can test whether the crew will really think about her, so if it's not that kind of re-election The director of the role can't even see it, and she can only save a glimmer of hope by leaving information. She will not leave information.

She saved her number on Chen An's mobile phone, and she didn't even take this opportunity to make a call to her mobile phone. She simply returned the mobile phone to Chen An, picked up the information, said goodbye and turned to leave.

Do your best when you come, and be crisp when you leave.

She has been delayed for two days for this interview, and she will go to other interviews later, even car show models, clothing models, football cheerleading she will go, this is the life of a poor woman...

In the past two days, she has pushed several part-time jobs and lost hundreds of huge sums of money...

After Su Wan left, Chen An checked the extra number in the phone, and noted that it was Opportunity Coffee, actor Su Wan.

He smiled, put away his phone, turned his head and asked Meng Wei who had been silent all this time: "How is it?"

Meng Wei said concisely: "Not bad."

It was rare for him to say this evaluation, Chen An smiled and nodded.

He also felt good.
