she is in modern times

Chapter 91 A Strong Opponent (4000 words)
Her eyes were clear, her expression was calm and composed, and she looked at them without any timidity. She nodded slightly, and then calmly walked over to the staff at the scene.

"Hello, are you here to fill out the form?"

"Yes, just fill in your own information here," the staff member drew a form for her.

"Thank you," she lowered her head, her slender fingers moved flexibly, and wrote her name.

I filled out the form with the staff, got the serial number plate and went to the corner to find a random chair and sit down.

Compared with Lin Yuchu's calmness, Zou Ranran was much more nervous. Since entering the Century Hotel, her body has been collapsed and straightened.

Lin Yuchu noticed and patted her on the shoulder to comfort her.

But this still didn't dispel her nervousness. Although she knew that the first sister had made a lot of preparations, the actresses who came to the audition were all very capable. I thought they came very early, but I didn't expect that there were already more than 20 people in line. actor.

In terms of ranking, the first sister does not have the slightest advantage.

Zou Ranran didn't want her state to affect Lin Yuchu's audition, so she adjusted her mentality, tried to relax her body, and gave her a cheering gesture: "Sister Chu, come on!"

The audition started at 08:30, and the director hadn't arrived yet, so Lin Yuchu looked down at the script.

Zou Ranran and Qin Jie didn't dare to disturb her, for fear of affecting her, they just handed her water occasionally, and there was no extra action other than that.

On the other side came the voices of actresses chatting in low voices. During this period, someone wanted to drag Lin Yuchu to join them, but they were stopped one by one by the conscientious Zou Ranran.

During this period, many actors in the industry came one after another, and the hall became noisy at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Time passed bit by bit, and the hotel lobby was facing the auditorium, which was usually used for weddings and banquets, but the door of the auditorium was closed at this time.

At 08:30, a staff member came out from the side entrance of the auditorium, "The audition can begin, please come in in order of the actors who have read the number plate, please follow me on the 1st."

The tall and thin girl who had been read the number plate responded. She tied a high ponytail, took a deep breath, and followed the staff into the auditorium through the side door.

The actors who were waiting for the staff to call their number plates all became nervous. Qi Baixin was notoriously vicious on the page, and he would not show mercy just because the other party was a girl. The first girl who was called to the number plate went in. It came out in less than 2 minutes.

When he came out, there were still tears in his eyes, and the tip of his nose was red.

"Number 2," accompanied by the eager voice of the staff, the cute girl with shoulder-length short hair stood up, she was a little nervous, her fingertips turned white while pinching the number plate.

As soon as she entered, the waiting actors immediately moved closer to No. 1 who had just come out, and asked eagerly:

"How's the situation inside?"

"Is Director Qi really strict?"

"Why are you crying?"

Although Lin Yuchu didn't go there, he still listened to them with his ears up, hoping to get some useful information.

No. 1 ignored anyone and left the hotel with a sad face.

"Tch—why are you pretending to be cold?"

"I think she was scolded and cried by Director Qi because of her poor acting skills!"

"That's right, she's so selfish that she doesn't want to reveal it."

Someone was upset and couldn't help complaining a few words.

Of course, among these people who complained, those famous stars were not included. They always wore sunglasses, and they did not participate in their discussions or slander others.

Zou Ranran asked Qin Jie for instructions, then took a pack of tissues and chased after her.

Qin Jie thought for a moment, then nodded.

Five minutes later, Zou Ranran came back.

As soon as he came back, he immediately told Lin Yuchu the news he had inquired from No. 1 just now.

"Miss Chu, I heard from the girl just now that Director Qi is very strict, and the parts of the audition are also randomly selected, and she doesn't want to disclose the rest."

After all, everyone is a competitor. It’s love to be willing to tell you, and it’s duty not to tell you. The first girl who auditioned told Zou Ranran this because she handed her a tissue.

Although it wasn't useful information, at least I knew that the director had chosen the scenes for the audition at random. Fortunately, Lin Yuchu was very familiar with "Silent Silence", so I shouldn't be too worried about this.

In such a short time, the staff read the number plates of several people.

The faces of those who entered and exited from the side door of the auditorium were not very good. They hardly stayed in for more than 3 minutes, and some of them came out within 30 seconds after entering, and some even ran out wiping their tears.

Such a situation made the people behind them a little stage frightened.

"Next!" Director Qi Baixin looked gloomy, "Why are there so many actors with short hair?!"

The assistant director next to him hurriedly handed him a glass of water: "Old Qi, you need to restrain your temper. See how many actresses you have cried?"

Qi Baixin snorted coldly, took a sip from the water glass, and his complexion did not improve: "As long as their acting skills are better, they won't run out crying."

"What do you think these people are thinking? Those [-]th-tier stars cut their hair short to come to the audition and forget it. Why did Candy even have short hair?"

Candy is a second-tier actress who has developed very well in the past two years. Because she has cooperated with Qi Baixin, her acting skills are online in all aspects. Qi Baixin has a very deep impression on her, so I asked this question.

The assistant director waved his hand: "Don't ask me, how do I know what Candy thinks?!"

"Old Qi, but she just asked you if you could audition Chen Mo again after changing your hairstyle. Why, from what you mean, it seems that you are willing to give her a chance?"

Qi Baixin frowned, then shook his head: "Forget it, she looks ugly with short hair, I really have no way to substitute her into Chen Mo."

The next actor to audition is Shen Huanyan. She is a first-line actress and is a very strong opponent. Since her debut, she has won countless awards. She has won the best newcomer award, best supporting role, and even appeared Nominated for Best Actress in a Film Festival.

A movie with the theme of "Silent Silence" is very likely to win an award. Shen Huanyan has made a lot of preparations for this. She wants to use this movie to win the Best Actress at the Berlin Film Festival and establish her position in the film and television industry.

After she made a brief self-introduction, she didn't hear the director's instructions. After thinking about it, her face gradually turned pale, but she ran forward very fast, as if she was going down the stairs. Because of running too fast, the whole person fell out.

"boom!"

The sound of her fall was loud, and she really used all her strength.

Seeing this, the assistant director's eyes lit up, and he instantly knew that the scene played by Shen Huanyan was the scene where Chen Mo rummaged through the trash can for headphones on the eve of the college entrance examination.

Afterwards, Shen Huanyan stood up from the ground and continued to run forward.

But every time she ran a certain distance, she would stop for a while, leaning forward with her whole body, rummaging for something with her hands.

She pursed her lips tightly, her eyebrows and eyes drooped lower and lower, and when she ran forward, she could see the line of her tightly pursed lips getting whiter and whiter, like the whiteness that had lost its color.

Finally, she searched a place for a while, and she seemed to see something, her eyes showed a small light, her tightly pressed lips relaxed for a moment, and the corners of her lips were about to curl up...

That kind of relaxation is a relaxation that everyone present can feel.

It's just that this kind of relaxation stopped abruptly when he saw the whole picture.

At this moment, she staggered, then squatted down, her eyes dimmed.

There was no rubbish on the clean ground, but her hands were touching something on the ground, as if trying to piece together something.

Her hands were shaking, and when she found that she couldn't put the things back together, Shen Huanyan smiled, but this smile was uglier than crying.

Her eyes were empty and lifeless, and she kept repeating mechanical movements.

Suddenly, she turned her head suddenly, then slowly got up, and looked in one direction expressionlessly: "Chen Yue, apologize to me, say sorry to me."

Say sorry to me and I will forgive you.

Of course, I didn't say this sentence, but Shen Huanyan made it up in my heart.

Although Shen Huan's face was expressionless, in fact, as long as she spoke carefully, her voice could be heard trembling.

After being silent for about ten seconds, Shen Huanyan changed her expression, and then bowed to the front: "Thank you, my performance is over."

The smile on the assistant director's lips widened: "Very good."

Even Qi Baixin, who was picky just now, nodded: "It's okay, let's go back and wait for the result."

Shen Huanyan's heart moved, and she showed a bright smile: "Okay, remember to contact me when Director Qi arrives."

As soon as she left, the assistant director propped his chin with both hands, and said with great interest: "Huanyan's scene is not bad, as expected of someone who has been nominated for Best Actress."

Qi Baixin nodded slightly: "Huanyan does have acting skills."

When Shen Huanyan went out, although the smile on her lips was not particularly obvious, she was noticed by the waiting actors in the hall, and everyone was shocked. Could it be that she has already won the role of Chen Mo?

Someone checked the time and found that it took 7 minutes from when Shen Huanyan entered the auditorium to when she came out.

From the beginning of the audition to now, she is the first actor who has been in the auditorium for so long!
Ignoring the scrutiny from different expressions, Shen Huanyan calmly left the Century Hotel with her assistant.

As soon as Shen Huanyan came out, the paparazzi who were squatting at the Century Hotel immediately surrounded her with microphones.

"As we all know, today is the audition day for the movie "Silent Silence" directed by Qi Baixin at the Century Hotel. Huanyan came out so early, so she must have won the leading actress, right?"

"There are rumors in the industry that "Silent Silence" is very likely to win an award, so I would like to ask whether Huanyan's audition is aimed at winning an award?"

"Does Huanyan have the confidence to win the Best Actress at the Berlin Film Festival?"

The paparazzi dared to say anything, but Shen Huanyan's assistant said, "Excuse me, excuse me, if you have any questions, please make an appointment for an interview."

"Excuse me……"

The assistant protected Shen Huanyan all the way into the car.

"Happy face."

"Shen Huanyan..."

Shen Huanyan was far away, and she could still vaguely hear the voices of the paparazzi.

Assistant: "These paparazzi are really annoying, they dare to ask anything."

Shen Huanyan took off her sunglasses and smiled: "Otherwise, why are they so hot?"

"That's right, hee hee, but Sister Huanyan, I took a look at the actors just now, you must be stable this time, right?"

Thinking of Director Qi and the assistant director's affirmation of her, Shen Huanyan smiled knowingly, but she did not give an affirmative answer to her assistant, but shook her head: "I don't know, wait for Director Qi to inform me."

"Sister Huanyan's acting skills are so good, it's not something that can be easily grasped. Sister Huanyan is just too modest."

"You can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing," she said with a serious expression.

"I'm telling the truth!" The assistant blinked playfully.

"You..." Shen Huanyan nodded her assistant's forehead, but there was no sense of blame in her tone.

……

Auditions are still going on.

The sounds of discussions around made Zou Ranran feel particularly uneasy. It wasn't that she thought Lin Yuchu had no strength, but that Shen Huanyan's name was really impressive, and her acting skills were well recognized in the industry. The smile she showed when she came out just now seemed to be telling everyone A message was revealed - she has already got the role she wanted.

And it is definitely impossible for her to audition for other roles, even if she doesn't have to think about it, she knows that Shen Huanyan is here for the heroine Chen Mo this time.

"Next, number 27."

Hearing the staff's voice, Lin Yuchu got up and followed the staff's footsteps to the side door of the auditorium.

At this time, Zou Ranran had only one thought in mind - it's over!
It was such a coincidence that after Shen Huanyan's audition, it was Lin Yuchu's next turn!
Although Zou Ranran didn't understand exactly what kind of method Shen Huanyan used to perform, it was undeniable that she was definitely a very capable opponent.

Lin Yu was ranked behind her in the first row. If she didn't have particularly good acting skills, so good that she surpassed Shen Huanyan's, then it would be difficult to impress the director.

Qin Jie also frowned tightly.

The two of them dared to relax after Lin Yuchu went in for the audition, letting the thoughts in their hearts emerge.

"The first sister is under a lot of pressure."

And the actors waiting at the side were even more grateful: "Fortunately, the person behind Shen Huanyan is not me, even if she has a five-point acting skill, I'm afraid it will lose half if she is in front of her."

That's what someone told the truth.

Entering through the side door of the auditorium, a beam of strong light hit Lin Yuchu's face instantly, her eyes narrowed uncontrollably and instinctively, and she adjusted for a few seconds before opening her eyes.

Lin Yuchu suddenly realized, no wonder the girls who came out earlier looked ugly, and some even left crying. The environment in the auditorium is really too depressing!
The lights in the auditorium are very dim, except for the strong light in the center of the stage that can dazzle people's eyes, the rest of the place looks a bit dark.

Standing on the stage, I couldn't see the director's expression clearly, but my every move was magnified clearly. Coupled with Director Qi's poisonous tongue, it was really hard for people with lower psychological quality to bear.
