Chapter 738: 738 Getting the audition opportunity (4)_1
"No wonder she’s our Manman’s little sister, she’s just as beautiful as her big sister!" The director showed a friendly smile because she was brought by Xiao Man.
"Hello, Director Ma." Eleven respectfully bowed, observing the etiquettes.
"Director Ma, this younger sister of mine has quite the background, but I can’t disclose it due to confidentiality obligations. When have I, Xiao Man, ever lied? If you don’t cherish her, I’ll introduce her to Director Yu instead." Xiao Man placed her hands on Eleven’s shoulders.
This made Eleven feel flattered.
She originally came just to visit the shooting site today, and Xiao Man hadn’t informed her beforehand about introducing her to the director—it was somewhat unexpected.
"I’m not a big deal, Director Ma, Sister Man is just joking." Eleven waved her hand, denying it.
"Eh! Manman, what are you talking about!" Xiao Man took the face-saving situation, "Has she studied acting?"
Xiao Man patted her shoulder, "West Shadow, a top talent from the acting department."
"No, the top talent is just a joke among classmates."
Director Ma looked at Eleven, feeling quite good about her. She was a good girl who was not arrogant or impetuous.
"From West Shadow, huh? That’s indeed a big deal! I have heard that there are many outstanding novices in this class, but I have been so busy with our TV drama, I haven’t had time to visit West Shadow."
"So, Director Ma, I’ll have her send you a resume later. Please see if there’s a role which suits her when you have time, and give her an opportunity. My one and only little sister, director..."
Indeed, people in the circle know that Xiao Man has few close friends in the industry despite being in the business for many years.
Ma Gang has worked with her on several TV dramas and movies, but she has never introduced a newcomer to him like today.
"Alright! I’m somewhat expecting a person Xiao Man would personally introduce. The producer also mentioned to me last week that our drama has started and ended on a high note. The response is very enthusiastic, and the ratings are also climbing. They want us to extend the episode count. I have recently been discussing a new character with some screenwriters, wondering who would be a good fit and you brought someone to us. She seems to fit the character’s image somewhat, so Xiao Man, you take a break first. Let this little sister take a screen test!"
"Really? I’m so lucky!"
"But Manman, I have to state this upfront, I completely affirm and trust your acting skills, so that’s why I’m giving her this opportunity based on your recommendation, but if she’s really not good..."
"Don’t worry, Director. You won’t be disappointed," Xiao Man said, pushing Eleven, "Aren’t you going to thank the Director quickly?!"
"Hey, don’t rush. Let’s express our gratitude after the screen test!"
It’s not surprising that Eleven was stunned—she only came to visit, but unexpectedly got a chance to audition!
Xiao Man patted her head: "You lucky girl, there just happens to be a new character like this, and the director is willing to let you try. Up next is your performance. Do a good job, who knows, you might become an overnight sensation."
"Sister Man... you... do you really trust me that much? I’m super nervous right now... Did the director actually say I could audition?"
"Yes!"
"Scary..."
That was such a quick turn of events!
"Fan Fan, go to Sister Yang and get the script for the new character," Xiao Man patted her shoulder, "Don’t be nervous, later we’ll discuss the character set-up for this new role. I’ll help you, don’t worry."
Eleven was still a bit dazed.
She wondered, why was Xiao Man helping her?
