Chapter 600: I borrowed your light again
Wang Ziyu's gaze fell curiously on Shen Li.
She was no stranger to Shen Li, or rather, for the newcomer actors in the same period in the circle, everyone knew a little bit about each other.
Because the environment is cruel, even if they haven't cooperated, they are potential competitive relationships.
Shen Li might not be the most popular newcomer, but she is definitely the most fierce and talented one.
Because seniors and directors who have cooperated with her, such as Ji Chuhe, Teacher Hu Ye, Song Anyu, and Director Xiang Tian, have all praised her for her good acting, professionalism, and seriousness on social platforms or media interviews.
The double nomination for the "Jin Que Award" is the direction of public opinion. A newcomer has such achievements, but there are very few scoldings on the internet. Basically, it is the black fans who are scolding.
Seeing it with her own eyes in reality at this time, still in the same plain-faced state as her, Wang Ziyu had to admit that Shen Li was full of spirit, and her conditions were no worse than hers at all.
Feeling Wang Ziyu's gaze, Shen Li looked over instinctively, and the two looked at each other, smiling at each other at the same time.
What was revealed in each other's eyes was appreciation for each other.
Near the agreed time, Director Gu Lian appeared with the casting director, and together with them were three young and handsome male actors and two agents.
It turned out that the male actors arrived early.
And Shen Li raised her eyes and actually saw her friend, Tan Yue, inside!
Tan Yue was also startled when he saw Shen Li, and then joy spread on his face, but he didn't dare to grab the words and greet the director first, only responding to Shen Li's surprise with his expression.
The two hadn't seen each other since the movie with the theme of rural trafficking finished filming and cooperation ended, but Tan Yue stayed in Longcheng, which Shen Li knew. When she was nominated, Tan Yue also sent her a WeChat message to congratulate her.
"All here?"
Director Gu Lian still had a gentle and elegant aura, greeting everyone with a smile.
Wang Ziyu's agent was the most excited. Perhaps he was finally seeing Director Gu Lian in person and couldn't hold himself back, actually taking two steps forward to shake hands with Director Gu Lian.
The director responded with a smile, but this scene made people feel a bit showy in the eyes of others.
Wang Ziyu also felt a bit embarrassed, pursing her lips tightly.
The director greeted everyone to sit down and talk. Every actor had an agent accompanying them to sit on the side, while Tan Yue seemed to have come alone. Seeing this, he took the opportunity to run to Shen Li's side and sit down, and only then did he have the opportunity to look at Shen Li softly and say: "Long time no see, A Li."
Shen Li was naturally happy to see Tan Yue in Director Gu Lian's personal interview session, happy for him.
"Long time no see."
The interaction between the two was noticed by Director Gu Lian, and he asked subconsciously: "Do you two know each other?"
Both looked at Director Gu Lian, and then smiled and nodded at the same time, their movements and expressions were surprisingly consistent.
Seeing this, Director Gu Lian chuckled: "That's really quite a coincidence."
Shen Li explained softly: "Director, Tan Yue and I met last year, and at the beginning of this year, we also cooperated on Director Xiang Tian's movie."
"I saw it written on Tan Yue's information, so you also participated in Xiang Tian's movie." Director Gu Lian said with some surprise.
Tan Yue took the opportunity to speak: "This movie was recommended by A Li for me to go to. Before that, I was just a dragon set. It was she who gave me a precious opportunity."
Everyone present couldn't help but look at Shen Li upon hearing this, especially these actors.
Everyone must know Shen Li. Her own sister is a capital tycoon investor. Everyone in their hearts must feel that Shen Li has the ability to recommend people to the crew. Tan Yue is a living example.
Little did they know that at the beginning, it was because the original actor ran away due to the hard shooting conditions, and Shen Li recommended Tan Yue to save the scene.
Shen Li didn't explain much. Today is Director Gu Lian's interview for new actors, she couldn't grab the topic and keep talking about her own things.
However, the fact that the two were familiar and had cooperated made Director Gu Lian a bit happy: "Having cooperated, you know each other's rhythm, so it will be easier to match."
Saying this, he opened the small notebook in his hand and flipped through it, then raised his head to look at Shen Li and Tan Yue: "It is set for Shen Li to play 'Huizi', Tan Yue, why don't you try 'Jiaoyang'?"
Tan Yue was stunned, subconsciously looking at another male actor, Xu Chengzhe.
He was the first-choice candidate for "Jiaoyang".
And Tan Yue himself tried another role "Wu Yue" that didn't have so many scenes.
Xu Chengzhe was also stunned, subconsciously looking at his agent.
His agent was calm. After all, it was a big director's play, and no one would know the result until the last moment.
Tan Yue came back to his senses and nodded blankly.
Director Gu Lian looked at Shen Li kindly: "Shen Li, haven't you read the script many times? You should know the rival play very well. You and Tan Yue go to the side to communicate first, and pick a segment to perform for me."
Acting is the thing Shen Li is best at. Even if she is facing Director Gu Lian, she doesn't feel nervous. She nodded immediately, said hello to Sister Kuan, and took Tan Yue to the corner.
Tan Yue said excitedly: "A Li, I borrowed your light again. The director originally let me try 'Wu Yue'."
"Borrowing light is not enough, you have to catch it." Shen Li looked at him seriously: "The director is very picky, you have to perform well enough to really get the role."
"Then you lead me." Tan Yue became nervous immediately.
Seeing his visible nervousness, Shen Li changed the subject and chatted with him first: "Why did you come here? Recommended by the company? Where is your agent?"
"I don't have a company or an agent." Tan Yue touched the back of his head embarrassedly and smiled: "After filming that movie by Director Xiang Tian, didn't I tell you I was going to sign up for Teacher 'Pei Xi's' acting class after I got the salary? I kept a little living expense, and the rest of the money was spent on the tuition of the acting class. It was Teacher Pei Xi who recommended me to the crew."
"Is that so? Then Teacher Pei Xi must think you act well to dare to recommend you to Director Gu Lian's crew." Shen Li said happily.
Tan Yue responded modestly: "Acting skills have definitely improved, but they are not outstanding enough. Teacher Pei Xi's original words were that my appearance conditions are the type that Director Gu Lian will like, saying that my brow bone is high and my eyes are deep, and such facial features look particularly good in close-ups on the big screen. I didn't feel it myself, and I was embarrassed by the praise."
Seeing him so modest, Shen Li encouraged and affirmed him immediately: "Facts have proved that Teacher Pei Xi's words are correct, you are really here now!"
Tan Yue said with lingering fear: "You don't know how nervous I was when we boys were interviewed just now. Eight people came, one more handsome than the other. I thought I definitely had no play."
"Then you should believe in yourself even more, come on!"
