Chapter 1 Audition

With a "clunk" sound, Liu Xiaohan, who was sitting on the bed in his room watching an American TV series, suddenly heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

She was stunned for two seconds, hurriedly put on her shoes and got out of bed, and ran to the living room. Sure enough, her best friend Jiang Chenxing, who she shared a room with, fell straight on the floor, her eyes were closed, her face was pale and weak, she had obviously fainted.

.

She squatted down, raised Chenxing's head and placed it on her knees, pinching her philtrum hard until there were bloody marks on her philtrum, and Chenxing slowly woke up.

"What's wrong with you?" Xiaohan asked, "When I first came in, weren't you practicing handstands? Why did you faint?"

"Water, beef jerky." Morning Star said weakly.

Xiaohan helped her to the sofa in the living room, poured her a glass of warm water first, then took out a pack of beef jerky from his snack cabinet and gave it to her. After a moment's hesitation, he took out two pieces of chocolate and handed them to her.

: "You should eat the chocolate first."

Chenxing drank water and ate chocolate before she had the strength to speak: "I have an audition tomorrow. I want to lose another five pounds these days, but I eat less.

"This afternoon I went to the fencing hall to practice swordsmanship for two hours. When I came back, I started to stand on my head. After standing on my head for a while, I felt dizzy. I originally wanted to last for half an hour before eating, but I fainted."

"Why do you want to lose weight?" Xiaohan sighed: "You are over 1.6 meters tall and only weigh over 80 kilograms. Do you need to lose weight? If you lose any more weight, you will be like an adult!"

Chenxing agreed very much with Xiao Han's view. He nodded repeatedly and ate beef jerky quickly. He ate more than a dozen pieces in a row until his cheeks were numb from chewing, so he had to stop, drank some water, and sighed with satisfaction.

But this kind of satisfaction was soon replaced by panic. Thinking of the agent's words, Chenxing quickly took out a small mirror from his bag, looked at his bun face repeatedly, and said frustratedly:

"During my last audition, the director kept asking the cameraman to give me a long shot. The cameraman said it was always a long shot. When the director took a closer look, he realized that I had a round face and brushed me off.

"

"My agent blamed me for gaining weight recently and told me to lose another five pounds, otherwise I would never get another role."

"Your agent is crazy, are you crazy too?" Xiao Han disapproved: "You have a bun face, what does it have to do with being fat? I can tell you, with your face shape, just lose ten pounds, and you will lose ten pounds.

You can’t change into an awl face, so stop fooling around!”

Chenxing was not convinced. He raised his chin slightly, turned his face sideways, looked up at 45 degrees and took a selfie. After comparing it with the photo taken yesterday on his phone, he felt that his face seemed a little smaller than yesterday. He asked Xiaohan: "You

Don’t you think my chin has become a bit pointier recently?”

"Where is it? I don't think there has been any change at all." Xiaohan deliberately hit her.

Chenxing wailed and put down the beef jerky, complaining to Xiao Han: "It's all your fault for putting such delicious beef jerky at home. I often couldn't help but get up in the middle of the night to eat it, and I quickly gained several pounds. No, before

Within a few days, I was disliked by the director, who has a sharp eye."

Xiaohan laughed, of course she knew that Chenxing had been "stealing", but between them, everything was mixed together, and they had never made a clear distinction. What is a little beef jerky?

"Look, you are not born to do anything bad," Xiao Han teased her: "If you secretly eat some beef jerky, the meat will immediately grow on your face. This retribution for you could not be more cruel.

, so you must change your ways and stop eating my snacks in the future."

Chenxing nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I understand. I will never eat secretly again. I will ask you for it directly, so that God will not punish me."

Xiaohan: "----".

The logic of foodies is not generally strong.

*********************

After breakfast the next day, Chenxing put on light makeup, brushed her teeth carefully, combed her hair into a big ponytail, put on the newly bought lake-colored skirt, and then said hello to Liu Xiaohan,

He rushed downstairs in a hurry.

She had an interview for the role of a maid today, and the appointment was at ten o'clock. However, the traffic conditions in the capital meant that she had to rush for time. Who knew when she would encounter a big traffic jam?

She and Xiaohan lived in Beicheng, but the interview location appointed by the director was in Nancheng. Chenxing took the subway first, got off and took a taxi, and finally arrived within the agreed time.

When I arrived at the place, I saw dozens of people waiting for interviews, crowded in the lobby. Chenxing was already used to it. These days, there are too many people who want to be in the entertainment industry, but there are too few who can succeed.

.

There are many people like her who have been in the industry for a few years and have signed a contract with a regular agency, but it is difficult to even get a role as a maid.

The role of the maid this time is considered to be a supporting female role of some importance. She appeared in more than a dozen episodes. Her agent Tang Yun expressed her credit and said that she went through many people to get her this interview opportunity and warned her that if

After signing the contract, a favor fee will be paid to her.

Chenxing reluctantly agreed. Who said she was a member of the entertainment industry? She had no background, no resources, no education, and an unflattering round face. After signing a contract with Haizi Film and Television Group, no agent was willing to take her.

she.

Finally, the manager of the artist department spoke and assigned her to Tang Yun, and Tang Yun reluctantly became her manager.

After waiting in the long queue, Chenxing was not idle. She took out the character script from her bag and continued to familiarize herself with her lines. She had memorized all the lines of the maid in these dozen episodes. Not only did she memorize them, but she also

They all carefully looked in the mirror to figure out the micro-expressions when speaking.

For today's interview, she had already forced Xiao Han to watch her performance over and over again in the rental house. Only when Xiao Han vomited did Chenxing let her go.

After waiting for nearly an hour, it was Morningstar’s turn to be interviewed. The interviewers were three men. The man in the middle seemed familiar to Morningstar. I thought about it carefully. It seemed that he had been interviewed on TV not long ago. It should be a famous TV series.

Producer Yu Xi.

The serious-faced middle-aged man on the right of Yu Xi assigned Chenxing the content of the performance. It was the scene in the play in which the maid had no way to clear herself after being framed, and had no choice but to beg for mercy from her master.

Chenxing's heart skipped a beat. This scene required tears, but she was afraid of crying scenes and couldn't cry. During the rehearsals in front of Xiao Han in the rental house these two days, she had to hold it in for a long time before she could cry.

tears.

Xiaohan suggested that she use ginger slices to wipe her eyes when acting, but Chenxing refused. She felt that if she didn't bring out her own emotions when acting, the acting would be different. Although she was in the 18th tier, she still pursued acting skills.

Chenxing turned her head to contemplate her feelings and thought about all the unhappy things in her life. However, no matter how she thought about it, her tears could not come out. Chenxing was so anxious that she was sweating. Could it be that the opportunity she had waited so hard for was going to waste again?
