Chapter 366: I

The teacher turned a deaf ear to the boys' complaints and walked off the stage to start playing the character information.

Actually, the ratio of men to women in audition roles depends entirely on the subject matter. Female-oriented subjects naturally have more female roles, and male-oriented ones are the opposite. It's just that there are more new female-oriented projects in the industry recently, so it's understandable for male students to complain about unfairness.

But this is all determined by the market, and there is no way around it.

Wang Chuhan focused particularly on taking pictures of every character's information with her phone, and then moved the phone to the middle position to let Shen Li look at it with her.

The roles were also suitable roles for their age, some of which had heavy scenes and were considered important small supporting roles, but the rest were small extras, with lines but no separate plot, and could only be background boards in the group image usually.

For example, female students a, b, c in the class, etc.

Shen Li was just accompanying Wang Chuhan at first and didn't speak to express her opinion, because this was Wang Chuhan's audition, and it should mainly be based on her own wishes and preferences.

But she was still observing Wang Chuhan's reaction intentionally.

A role called "Yu Meng," like this kind of role with a name, is considered an important small supporting role. The character is reckless, careless, a thorn, and has a relatively fiery temper.

The prescribed situation for the audition is "The class monitor 'heroine' checks holiday homework in the morning, but she didn't do it, which leads to a series of conflicts"!

Wang Chuhan clearly stayed on this character page for the longest time. The character information was very short, but she seemed to have read it several times back and forth.

Finally, she turned the page!

"A-Li, I'll audition for this one!"

She finally pointed to "Female Student C," a background board role with no name at all.

Shen Li frowned slightly. The audition segment for this role was actually "buying grilled sausages at the stall at the school gate on the way home from school"!

Even the audition segment was being a background board.

Of course, as a newcomer with no experience, one shouldn't pick if there is something to play, because opportunities aren't available to everyone.

But the problem now is, they have choices!

There are seven roles, why pick the simplest and most transparent one?

Because Wang Chuhan was completely unconfident in her heart.

Shen Li hesitated, but still couldn't help but speak: "This role has no space for performance either."

Wang Chuhan was speechless.

Shen Li directly slid the photos in her phone and turned to the character data of "Yu Meng": "I think this one is good. The audition segment has conflicts and contradictions, which means there is space for play."

"And I just noticed you've been looking at this character data all along. You want to choose it too, right?"

Wang Chuhan pursed her lips, looking troubled as she raised her head: "I'm not sure, and this kind of role must be wanted by everyone. If so many people grab it, I won't have a chance."

"How do you know there's no chance if you haven't tried?" Shen Li didn't agree with her idea: "Do you think no one will compete with you for that background board role? Such a boring role, the director must think it's the same whoever plays it. Then why would they choose you? Can you play a background board like a flower?"

"Can't." Wang Chuhan shook her head truthfully, but still felt guilty: "But the roles I auditioned for before weren't chosen. I feel like I don't know how to act."

"You can't think like that!" Shen Li was shocked and hurriedly stopped her from continuing to doubt herself: "You can't feel that you don't know how to act. On the contrary, you have to hypnotize yourself all the time that you are particularly good at acting, that you are whatever you play. You have to give yourself a little blind confidence."

"Ah?"

"Sister Yuner taught me! I think it's particularly useful!"

"Yuner? Song Yuner!"

Shen Li nodded: "Right, she said actors must have a kind of groundless confidence, because you have to open yourself to accept the role. If you aren't confident, you can't really open yourself, but keep doubting yourself in the process of acting, then you will never act any role well."

Wang Chuhan digested Shen Li's words blankly, feeling that there was some truth to it.

But it's very difficult to do this!

"Maybe next time, I'm not ready yet!"

"Where are there so many next times? Do you think this kind of opportunity really happens every day?" Shen Li grabbed Wang Chuhan's hand: "Since you're here, every audition is a challenge. Don't shrink back every time. Think about my words just now. You can do it, you will know how to act, others can act, you can also act, you can act better than others!"

Shen Li was like a hypnosis master, constantly instilling the information that you are the best and you are the greatest into Wang Chuhan's brain.

Finally, Wang Chuhan looked at Shen Li in front of her and murmured: "A-Li, I think you've changed a lot. You are two completely different people from when you first arrived at school!"

Shen Li: "..."

Shen Li remembered that when she first arrived at school, she isolated herself because of inferiority. It was several roommates who worked hard to show kindness to her and took the initiative to be friends with her.

She had always been grateful for this.

"Yeah, at first I was the most inferior one, but now I feel I'm particularly amazing. You have to think so too!" Shen Li took the opportunity to take herself as an example to motivate Wang Chuhan.

"Can it really work?" Wang Chuhan bit her lower lip with a tangled expression.

"You have to try to know if it works. If you don't try, then it definitely won't work!" Shen Li held her hand and used some force, looking into her eyes and encouraging: "Don't be afraid, Chuhan, I'll help you, let's try, okay?"

"You'll help me?"

Shen Li nodded: "I'll help you, okay?"

Shen Li's firmness and encouragement were like a shot of adrenaline injected into Wang Chuhan's heart at this moment. She looked into Shen Li's eyes, and finally supported a trace of courage in her heart, nodding lightly: "Okay, okay!"

Time was running out. Shen Li immediately pulled Wang Chuhan to leave her seat and found a relatively quiet corner in the corridor outside the small theater, intending to help her analyze this role first.

At this time, there were other students around, each focused on their own world. This tense and oppressive atmosphere was no different from the college entrance examination in Wang Chuhan's eyes, making her heart beat "bang bang bang" non-stop.

"Chuhan, the class monitor who collects homework in the prescribed situation is also the heroine, which means this role has rival scenes with the heroine, it's a very important role."

Shen Li entered the state first, forcibly pulling Wang Chuhan into the role with herself: "Now you need to enrich the character setting of 'Yu Meng' in the prescribed situation."

"Me?" Wang Chuhan pointed to herself: "I make it up myself?"

"Of course. You have to imagine what kind of person this character is. She and the class monitor broke out into conflict because of homework, so you can set that she was originally at odds with the heroine, and her heart was already bad. With such a setting, you know what attitude you should show when facing the other party, and your performance can become natural and stand firm!"
