Chapter 92: It's All Jiang Wen's Fault!

At noon, after Li Xiaoran woke up in a daze, she found that the side was already empty. Only vaguely did she remember that Wu Yuchen kissed her and said he was going out.

Li Xiaoran brought the breakfast Wu Yuchen left for her to the kitchen, saw the script on the table, and couldn't help but open it again, reading it again while eating.

On the other side, in a private room of a restaurant near the Central Academy of Drama, the few girls of the 96 class who were chattering and noisy before really saw Wu Yuchen, but they turned into quails one by one.

It's not because they haven't seen handsome guys or anything, but because the current Wu Yuchen is a director who has won the Tokyo International Film Festival big award and the Berlin Golden Bear short film. He is a genius director praised by their teachers. Facing the real person of Wu Yuchen, they really couldn't let go.

It was Wu Yuchen who smiled and spoke first:

"Today, having the opportunity to get to know all the beauties, I am really very happy!

I heard from Pear before that you are all elites selected from all over the country to the Central Academy of Drama. Today, it is indeed one in ten thousand. Don't fight with me for this meal, it must be my treat. Also thank you for taking care of Pear, everyone eat well and drink well!"

The girls saw that Wu Yuchen had no airs, so they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Mei Ting smiled and replied, "Then today we'll take advantage of Zeng Li's connection and sponge a meal off you~"

Zhang Tong also mentioned: "Actually, I had a deep impression when you came to the examination room that day. I haven't seen you accompanying the exam with a hanging bottle like this. I thought you were also a student we were interviewing together. It turns out you are a director!"

"That's right, there is no director who looks as good as you!"

The girls laughed after hearing this, and couldn't help but cast their eyes on Zeng Li, making her blush.

"Wu Yuchen, are you really only a sophomore? Our teachers all say that many directors can't win awards in a lifetime!"

Wu Yuchen laughed: "Luck, luck~"

Facing the various curiosities and questions of the girls, Wu Yuchen was not panicked, mainly humble and steady, and occasionally made a joke. The meal was considered harmonious.

Wu Yuchen found that only 7 of the 8 girls in their class came, missing one Yuan Quan.

But he didn't take it to heart. This girl started to have social phobia when she first entered the Central Academy of Drama. Every time there was a collective activity, she would hide if she could, and even specially went to the doctor to issue a sick certificate, not to ask for leave, but not to participate in activities.

After a meal, the girls also let go in front of this director of similar age.

"Big Wu Dao, if you open a play in the future and have a suitable role, you can't forget us!"

"Haha, I..."

Wu Yuchen was about to speak when he was interrupted by the ringtone of his mobile phone. He made an apologetic expression, turned sideways and answered the phone. Han Sanping's voice came:

"Little Wu Dao, there is a reply to yesterday's matter. Gong Li has gone to the *Chinese Box* crew to prepare. If you can wait until next year, maybe there will be a chance for cooperation."

Wu Yuchen didn't have much emotional fluctuation after hearing this. He had already expected it yesterday, and then he asked:

"Factory Director Han, what about Ning Jing?"

This is his truly expected goal!

"Alas, Ning Jing called me personally. She is getting married soon and won't take any plays recently." Han Sanping sighed.

"Married?!" Wu Yuchen couldn't hold it this time.

"Yes, she got together with that foreigner during the shooting of *Red River Valley*. Didn't expect that it hasn't been a year yet, and they are going to talk about marriage." Han Sanping explained.

Wu Yuchen sighed after hearing this. He only thought that she seemed to have no works in these two years, how did he forget this!

"Little Wu Dao, do you have any other actors you like? I will help you contact them again."

"Thank you Factory Director Han for your concern, I can't think of it for a while, I'd better audition publicly."

"Good, in fact, there may not be no good seedlings among newcomers. Look at Zhou Xun you found this time, didn't she act very well." Han Sanping comforted.

"Yes, you are right!"

After a few sentences, Wu Yuchen hung up the phone. That's what he said, but not inviting Ning Jing still made him hard to hide his disappointment. She is really his ideal heroine candidate in all aspects!

The girls in a circle at the table basically heard some of Wu Yuchen's phone content. It was Ning Jing, and it was Factory Director Han. Wu Yuchen, who just felt that he had become one with them, suddenly rose in their hearts again.

Just like the truth that "talks with Confucian scholars, and there are no white people coming and going", one's circle can show his status.

At this time, the girls looked at Wu Yuchen's slightly disappointed face and didn't dare to disturb him. It was Zeng Li sitting next to him who touched him lightly and asked:

"Are you going to shoot a new film again?"

Wu Yuchen nodded: "Yes, an experimental pioneer film, planning to go to Hong Kong and Macau to shoot, but now the heroine hasn't been invited."

At this time, Mei Ting suddenly asked: "Wu Dao, if you audition publicly, can we sign up?"

The girls around couldn't help but look at Mei Ting in surprise. You know, their Central Academy of Drama has a rule that freshmen cannot go out to film!

Wu Yuchen also looked at Mei Ting, thinking of how in his past life she had dropped out of school during her freshman year for the sake of acting, which had indirectly saved Liu Ye and Zhang Ziyi.

Few people know that the 96 class of the Central Academy of Drama actually expelled two people because their grades were not qualified. And Liu Ye and Zhang Ziyi were also in the bottom area at that time. It was Mei Ting's withdrawal that pulled them back.

He looked at Mei Ting, and don't say, it's not impossible to consider.

"If you have really made up your mind, you can come to me for an audition." Wu Yuchen will not persuade much. People know what their choices are, but whether they can be selected depends on the audition effect.

After a meal, the girls left first. Zeng Li stood by the car and talked to Wu Yuchen.

"Wu Yuchen, do you think Sister Ting really wants to risk being expelled from school to film? I don't quite understand."

"Everyone's experience is different, and their ideas are different. Among you, Mei Ting is currently the most mature and has the most ideas. She filmed Director Ye Daying's *Red Cherry* in 1994 and won the Best Actress award at the Chunyan Awards.

Perhaps in her view, the things learned after enrollment have been completely useless to her. For her, the paper of a diploma may be far less important than the opportunity."

Wu Yuchen looked at Zeng Li's somewhat half-understanding eyes and smiled:

"Pear, don't think too much, laying a good foundation in school in freshman year is definitely not wrong."

Zeng Li nodded and looked at the girls waiting for her not far away: "Then you drive slowly, I'll go find them~"

Wu Yuchen waved goodbye to her, then looked at Zeng Li's back. In fact, Zeng Li is a tall person, and her skeleton is larger than ordinary girls. Her image with short hair is suitable for playing the heroine Luo La. But after contacting for so long, he knows Zeng Li's character too well. She is not the kind of girl who is reckless and goes forward regardless of everything like Luo La.

Seeing that they had gone far, Wu Yuchen remembered Ning Jing again, couldn't help but kick the tire, and cursed in his heart, it's all Jiang Wen's fault!

It's not that he was venting his anger for no reason, this matter really has something to do with Jiang Wen.

As everyone knows, Jiang Wen and Liu Xiaoqing got together when shooting *Hibiscus Town*, which caused Liu Xiaoqing's husband to block the two with a knife. In the end, Liu Xiaoqing not only divorced for Jiang Wen but also lost her reputation, because the ex-husband wrote a book specially to dig into the privacy between them. For those few years, they became a laughingstock.

Later, to support Jiang Wen in shooting his first film *In the Heat of the Sun*, Liu Xiaoqing not only gambled her savings but also ran relationships to Hong Kong to pull investment for him. As a result, she lost both people and money.

Why? Because when filming, Jiang Wen fell in love with Ning Jing!

It should be said that the two of them had taken a liking to each other; Liu Xiaoqing had gone to the set to visit and discovered something was wrong, so she went to talk to Ning Jing. Ning Jing was also a tough character with a fiery temper, and she retorted to her face: "Why should I give the man I like to you? If you want a man, rely on your own ability!"

After the film shooting ended, seeing that Jiang Wen still didn't change his mind, Liu Xiaoqing knew that she and he were not going to make it.

But how could Liu Xiaoqing be willing to lose everything and make a wedding dress for Ning Jing like this?

She knew Jiang Wen's preferences very well, and introduced her sister Liu Xiaohong's French friend to Jiang Wen. Sure enough, Jiang Wen couldn't withstand the test, and obediently obeyed and got together with this French girl again.

As soon as Ning Jing saw this hot temper, she also came up. You find a foreigner, and the old lady also finds one. So she directly threw herself into the arms of the foreign devil Paul during the shooting of *Red River Valley*.

You say this circled around, Ning Jing is going to marry a foreigner and can't shoot Wu Yuchen's film, is it all Jiang Wen's fault?!

After Wu Yuchen cursed Jiang Wen a few times, he had to drive back in a dejected mood, let everyone in the company move, and prepare to hold an audition.

Miracle Pictures is no longer an empty-shell company now. Last time Wu Yuchen came back, he not only bought shooting equipment but also recruited a group of people, all graduates of Tao Jingying and Central Academy of Drama. Some followed him to shoot a few films and were long ago conquered by him, and continued to follow him after graduation.

This audition is not only for the heroine, but also for the male lead and several supporting roles, which can be considered as letting Miracle Pictures go through the normal film preparation process for the first time.

The first round was actually just looking at resumes, photos, and information. Wu Yuchen personally reviewed every student with a name in the industry, including those from the Central Academy of Drama and the Tao Jingying Academy; he left the other schools and the less famous minor actors to his assistants, so he shouldn't miss any good talent this way. After screening them like this, he had people call them one by one to notify them of the official audition time.

It took a week to rush, and it was almost time for the audition.

On the bed, Wu Yuchen saw Jiang Qinqin lying on his chest and not saying a word, patted her butt and said:

"What's wrong, still making a temper?"

"How dare I make a temper with you, you are an international big director~"

Jiang Qinqin hummed, but her little hand was picking lightly on Wu Yuchen's body.

"Qinqin, you have also read the script. Don't say I didn't give you a chance. You come to audition together tomorrow. As long as the effect is good, I will let you be the heroine."

Jiang Qinqin's face instantly flooded with a smile:

"Really?"

"Why would I lie to you?"

Jiang Qinqin instantly became happy. She had read the complete script and still had an advantage over other actors. In fact, she also knew that this role might not be suitable, but she just wanted to fight for Wu Yuchen's film.

However, now Wu Yuchen has awards, and he is not a small director. Filming is not child's play. Jiang Qinqin also knows that she can't mess around with him, so being able to let her audition, she has nothing to say if she loses.

Seeing Jiang Qinqin like this, Wu Yuchen knew she had rested well, so he turned over and mounted again, setting sail.

The next day, Wu Yuchen rented a hotel conference room as an audition point, with dozens of women waiting at the door, taking turns going in.

Now Wu Yuchen has a big award title, and already has some appeal, so this time it really attracted a lot of people. He didn't filter people too strictly this time, just wanted to see if there was anyone who could surprise him. For example, he put Chen Shasha into the audition list. And don't say, it was more fitting than Jiang Qinqin!

Jiang Qinqin walked out of the conference room dejectedly, and Chen Shasha on the side hurried over:

"Qinqin, how are you?"

Jiang Qinqin pouted: "Don't mention it, he said the feeling I expressed was wrong, said I was too cynical and the sense of power was insufficient. In short, he picked a bunch of problems with me..."

Chen Shasha pulled her to comfort: "Qinqin, you are close enough to him for him to say that, maybe..."

Jiang Qinqin shook her head: "There is no maybe, I know I didn't act well, I hope Shasha you can pass!"

Chen Shasha was overjoyed upon hearing this. She also learned a lot about the heroine's character from Jiang Qinqin, and felt that she performed quite well. Maybe she would become it!

At this time, the staff shouted in the corridor: "Next, No. 23!"

After shouting once and seeing no one respond, he shouted again: "No. 23, No. 23 is not there, if you don't come, then..."

"Coming!"

At this time, only a girl who was panting came running. With her approach, Jiang Qinqin and Chen Shasha couldn't help but open their eyes wide.

Wu Yuchen is in a good mood now. The audition has been going on for more than half, and the few famous ones who came are not suitable. On the contrary, a few students are okay.

Gong Beibi and Mei Ting from Central Academy of Drama, and Chen Shasha from Tao Jingying, these are all okay, but currently, they can only be ranked second in his heart.

The first is Yu Lan from Tao Jingying. She later changed her name to Yu Nan. She is the girlfriend strongly supported by Wang Quanan, the one who acted in *Tuya's Marriage*, and also the Long Xiaoyun whom Leng Feng admired in *Wolf Warrior 1*.

Yu Lan has a hard temperament, whether it is appearance or figure, she has that sense of power. Although Yu Lan's appearance looks a bit like a village girl now, it should be no problem to dress up.

From this point of view, she is currently the closest to the temperament of the heroine Luo La.

Wu Yuchen was pondering, the door was pushed open again, and the figure walking in made him open his mouth.

Half-long fiery red hair, sky blue top, light green pants, black leather belt around the waist, black high-top leather boots on the feet, and a silver earring on the ear.

This unique outfit is very eye-catching, and this is exactly the appearance of the heroine Luo La in his script!

And what shocked Wu Yuchen was that the person standing in his field at this moment was none other than Li Xiaoran! ===== CHAPTER 93 =====
