Chapter 120 Wild Girl 2 Arrives: Sincerity is Always the Ultimate Weapon.
Apart from Yang Zhiyang, everyone else in the crew arrived at the set on time to begin filming.
Mu Yi gave a last-minute notice that all of the second female lead's scenes would be moved to the afternoon and tomorrow.
The staff looked at each other, and no one dared to say anything.
This made the makeup artist who did He Fan's makeup extremely happy.
"I really can't stand her. She's all innocent and pure when she's working, but she's a vicious old witch in private."
He Fan, who was putting on makeup: "..."
The filming went very smoothly all morning.
At lunchtime, the 'new second female lead' arrived.
Mu Yi directly called people to the set for a second audition, which was quite unusual.
The new second female lead is named Xu Qiong.
She is a completely new actress without a record label.
She received the call that morning while auditioning for a short web series...
When Huaji Film and Television called, she was completely stunned.
Hasn't filming for 'Ashes of the Moon' already started? Why is there a second round of auditions?
If she hadn't saved Huaji Film and Television's phone number during her first audition, she would have almost thought it was a scam.
Xu Qiong didn't care about the details and agreed immediately.
She didn't even participate in the auditions for the small web series, and flew directly from Hengdian to Kyoto with her 'agent and assistant' best friend Wenwen.
Along the way, the two considered all the possibilities.
The final conclusion is: Yang Zhiyang was completely outmatched by the female lead, who was brought in entirely on her own investment!
Xu Qiong and Wenwen gossiped and grinned mischievously the whole way.
A battle of gods, and you're just picking up the scraps?!
How to describe this feeling? It's just awesome.
Xu Qiong and Wenwen were led into the film set by staff.
Seeing these ancient-style courtyards built with genuine materials halfway up the mountain.
Xu Qiong and the other woman exchanged a glance: Is this the legendary big-budget film crew? My God! This is so extravagant!
In the past, the small web dramas she acted in were basically just digging a hole, or building a shed, putting on a KT board, and covering it with a green screen.
Xu Qiong and Wenwen squeezed each other's clasped hands, their eyes filled with excitement and joy.
Their first audition was an opportunity they had worked very hard to get.
She is a fan of the original novel, 'The Ashes of the Moon'.
Upon hearing that a remake was in the works, the two of them used their meager connections in the entertainment industry to gather information.
I learned that director Mu Yi had bought the copyright.
She then began to record and perform some of the more classic passages from the novel herself.
And tirelessly, he sent his videos and his understanding of the character in the drama to Mu Yi and Huaji Film and Television's official email addresses.
Later, she got the audition opportunity she wanted.
She could sense that the director had a very good impression of her, so she held onto a sliver of hope even after the interview.
However, I did not receive any further news until the official announcement and the start of filming.
The role of the second female lead was taken by Yang Zhiyang.
She believed that her appearance was more suitable for the role than Yang Zhiyang's.
Unfortunately, she's a top-tier actress with good acting skills, so it's understandable that a newcomer like myself can't compete with her.
Unexpectedly, a ray of hope appeared after a period of despair! I've actually been struck by a windfall!
Xu Qiong and the other person were taken to the lounge.
Mu Yi and He Fan, along with several others, were having dinner inside.
"Director Mu, Miss He, the person has been brought."
Hearing the sound, the people in the break room finally raised their heads from their lunchboxes.
Xu Qiong has a cool and aloof appearance; just by standing here, you can already see the resemblance to Wen Yue.
Mu Yi was deeply impressed by her, and she performed very well during her first audition.
"have you eaten?"
Xu Qiong and Wenwen exchanged a glance, then stiffened their necks and shook their heads.
Mu Yi waved to the staff member who had brought them in: "Get them two meals."
......
The boxed lunches were handed to the two of them.
"Eat up, let's eat first. Filming starts this afternoon," Mu Yi said.
Xu Qiong and Wenwen were holding their lunchboxes, feeling awkward and unsure of what to do.
But looking at the chicken legs in the lunchbox and smelling the aroma of their food, the two of them ultimately couldn't resist the temptation of the lunchbox.
He joined the others in the room, burying his face in the lunchbox and starting to eat.
The only sounds in the lounge for a moment were the sounds of eating.
......
"Hiccup~"
He Fan was full.
All eyes were on He Fan.
Xu Qiong: This look, this temperament, this must be my benefactor, the heroine, whom I've never met before!
Wenwen gave Xu Qiong a reassuring look: It's definitely right!
He Fan saw that the two of them had finished eating and were staring at him intently.
"Hello, I'm He Fan."
Xu Qiong clearly hadn't expected He Fan to be so easy to get along with.
She quickly stood up and said, "Hello, my name is Xu Qiong."
He Fan was startled and forced a smile: "Sit down, sit down and let's talk." This kid still seems a bit stressed.
Wenwen then introduced herself: "Hello, my name is Liu Wen, and I am Xiaoqiong's agent and assistant!"
He Fan nodded: "Okay."
Wu You put down her lunchbox. She thought, "That's a really good title. I'll introduce myself like that from now on."
"Hello, my name is Wu You, and I am Sister Fan's assistant and agent!"
Liu Wen was very happy to see Wu You greet him, which meant he appreciated her.
Lu Chuan put down his lunchbox and said, "Hello, I'm Lu Chuan."
Liu Qingqing watched from the side. There were three "agents" in the room. The two of them had already introduced themselves to each other. Should she introduce herself as well?
"Um... I'm Liu Qingqing, and I'm Xiaolu's full-time agent now."
Before the words were even finished, Wenwen gasped, "Liu? Liu Qingqing?"
"My goodness, you're an idol in our talent agency circle! Agent Liu!"
Liu Qingqing was a little embarrassed: "It's alright, it's alright..."
Seeing that everyone had gotten to know each other quite well, Mu Yi spoke up.
"Alright, now that everyone knows each other, let's go out and catch up on the progress."
"Oh, by the way, Xu Qiong, you've always wanted to play the second female lead, Wen Yue, right?"
Xu Qiong nodded with sparkling eyes: "Yes, Director Mu, I really liked Wen Yue when I read this novel. I think Wen Yue..."
Mu Yi nodded repeatedly before she could finish explaining her understanding and insights into the character.
"Little Poor... Little Xu. I've read all the emails you sent me. You have a very thorough understanding of Wen Yue's character, and your acting is also very good. You don't need to say more. I believe in you. Otherwise, you wouldn't be here today. Just keep acting well."
Xu Qiong exclaimed in surprise, "Director Mu, do I not need to audition again?"
Mu Yi looked puzzled: "You can audition if you want, but I only invited you to this round of auditions. If you are confident that you can handle this role, you can actually join the crew directly."
Xu Qiong was so excited she didn't know what to say, and subconsciously glanced at Liu Wen beside her.
He looked around again and saw that no one around him showed any dissatisfaction.
She nodded repeatedly: "I can do it, I'm confident! Thank you, thank you Director Mu, thank you all for your trust."
He Fan couldn't help but laugh at Xu Qiong's reaction.
Sincerity may always be the ultimate weapon.
Mu Yi was also very satisfied.
He stood up, clapped his hands, and shouted, "Alright! Let's get started."
When they heard Mu Yi shout to start work, everyone outside started making a commotion.
"Let's get to work!"
"Get ready for the afternoon's match!"
"..."
