Chapter 59 – Second Shift
Shen Huai had set the audition ti with Director Yu, and returned to the “Honey” crew.
After hearing him out, Chu i Bo also beca interested in this variety show. In fact, after returning to the world of the living, Chu i Bo was very interested in all forms of acting.
Shen Huai told Chu i Bo what Zhang Li said.
Unexpectedly, when Chu i Bo heard it, her expression revealed a rare expression of... dislike.
“Yun Chuo Yi?”
Shen Huai also realized that there was sothing wrong with her expression. “Is everything alright?”
Chu i Bo mumbled a few words, but didn’t say anything.
Shen Huai put this aside for the ti being and asked, “I know you have learned singing before, but your current body has not been trained after all, and what you want to play is the famous female student from the past Yun Chuo Yi. How sure are you?”
Chu i Bo frowned for a mont, then sang a little bit. Although there were so limitations in her voice now, it did have a certain flavor, or at least it was enough to fool the layman.
In addition to Yun Chuo Yi , there was another, more important role, which was a famous beauty in history known for her good dancing skills.
Fortunately, Chu Chu had learned how to dance before, and Chu i Bo didn’t slack off after her rebirth. After training for a period of ti, whether it was Beijing opera dance, or classical dance, she shouldn’t have any problems.
Shen Huai who had an idea, already had several nas flash through his mind. Before the audition, he would ask soone to tutor Chu i Bo, so it could be expected that for this period of ti, Chu i Bo would have to work even harder.
Chu i Bo herself was not afraid of that, as long as it was related to acting, she had never flinched.
No, she could no longer say that. Recently, when she was acting with Wen Hanyi, she felt quite helpless.
Wen Hanyi had a very good temper, but was simply not suitable for acting by nature. In today’s words, he had a heavy idol baggage.
However, in acting, everyone had to break oneself up and re-enter a new character.
In all movie and television colleges, the first lesson of the acting departnt was to liberate one’s own nature, that is, to hope that actors could accept their imperfect selves and get rid of the “sense of sha”.
However, all the training that Wen Hanyi received had been used to teach him how to show his best side to the fans at any ti. He can’t get away from his own image, so naturally there was no need to talk about acting.
The two were fundantally opposite.
Not to ntion, Wen Hanyi didn’t work hard and forgetting his own lines had already beco a common thing.
As a result, acting in a simple campus drama such as “Honey” felt many tis more tiring for her than “Tianji”. The only relief was that Tao Xuan Xuan gradually found new interest in acting during the shooting, making her obviously more attentive lately than she used to be.
Tao Xuan Xuan’s character was arrogant and unpleasant, but maybe it was because she was in too much pain during the acting with Wen Hanyi, that made her miss the pleasure of acting together with Chu i Bo, which made her attitude towards Chu i Bo much better than before.
Tang Sugar was also on the edge of breaking down daily. The man she created with her own mind beca like this. It was heartbreaking. However, although she was now the chief screenwriter, she was still a small transparent nobody that no one cared about, even if she tried to say sothing, no one paid attention to it.
Tang Sugar had no one to talk to in this drama crew, so she could only take advantage of Chu i Bo, wait for the next scene to talk to her, and when they chatted, she also checked Chu i Bo’s howork by the way.
Chu i Bo learned that Tang Sugar was a university top student before. If it wasn’t for her love for movies and TV dramas, that made her want to beco a screenwriter, with her grades, there would have been no problem for her to be admitted to Zhongjing University.
As a result, what was supposed to be a dream co true for Tang Sugar, ended up becoming a cram school.
Chu i Bo: “...”
However, Tang Sugar’s lecture was very easy to understand. It was not worse than the tutors invited by Shen Huai for her. So Chu i Bo who beca speechless for a minute, quickly accepted Tang Sugar’s teaching guidance.
But Tao Xuan Xuan didn’t like it.
Her eyes were set high and she had pitifully few friends. It wasn’t easy to find Chu i Bo who was pleasing to her eyes, and she didn’t expect to be robbed by Tang Sugar every day.
She thought since Tang Sugar could tutor Chu i Bo, she could do it too. She was studying abroad in high school, and her English was still very good.
As a result, the crew saw that the female lead and the chief screenwriter revolved around the second female lead, and no one paid any attention to the male lead.
Not only that, one day Le Jiang especially ca to the crew in order to et Chu i Bo. Who would have thought that just after Chu i Bo opened the door, her eyes would imdiately widen. “Why are you here?”
When Tao Xuan Xuan heard the familiar voice, she imdiately stood up and glared back wanting to pick up a fight. “Why can’t I be here?”
Chu i Bo could only let Le Jianng in first.
Le Jiang crossed her arms and said fiercely, “I will tell you just one thing! If I hear that you dare to bully my Sister i, I will tell your brother!”
Tao Xuan Xuan snorted coldly. “You still use the sa old move, can’t you learn new tricks? What am I going to do with you? Do you really think my brother can control ?”
Yue Jiang: “Tao Xuan Xuan!!!”
Tao Xuan Xuan: “Le Jiang!!!”
Chu i Bo pressed the bulging vein on her forehead, and said in a cold voice, “If any of you two starts a quarrel again, I will kick you out!”
Le Jiang: “...”
Tao Xuan Xuan: “...”
Neither of them dared to speak any more. Tao Xuan Xuan took the opportunity to squeeze Le Jiang away. “Who bullied her? I am tutoring her!”
Le Jiang who just saw the textbook on the table “......”
Seeing that they are really going to study, Le Jiang hurriedly said, “Sister i, I can also help you with studying!”
Tao Xuan Xuan sneered, “With what? Tutor her in the math you just passed?”
Yue Jiang: “Tao Xuan Xuan!!!”
Tao Xuan Xuan: “Le Jiang!!!”
Chu i Bo was no longer patient, she was just about to open her mouth and drive both of them out, when she heard a knocking on the door. The three of them looked at Shen Huai standing outside.
Shen Huai chuckled, “Isn’t it quite lively?”
Chu i Bo: “...”
–
Shen Huai ca over to take Chu i Bo to an audition.
Because ti was tight, they let Tong Yun pack things while he and Chu i Bo went first. “I’ve asked the director for a leave. We’ll fly to Mujiang city this evening, the audition will be held the day after tomorrow.”
Chu i Bo was surprised. “So soon?”
Shen Huai nodded. “Director Yu is very strict. Even If you are selected, you will still have to attend classes. However, I heard that many of the show’s actors are veteran actors of the National Theater. You and they should have a lot in common.”
Chu i Bo beca thoughtful.
The plane soon arrived in Mujiang city. Because it was too late, they would have a rest first.
The next morning, they went out for breakfast together.
Chu i Bo seeing that Shen Huai was still not saying anything, lost her patience. She put down her chopsticks. “Agent Shen, you have to give an explanation.”
Shen Huai always had a reasonable plan. Even for this audition, it would have been OK to arrive here today. Why rush to co here last night?
Shen Huai also knew that he could not hide it from her. After breakfast, he took her to their destination.
It looked like soone’s courtyard, antique, but there was no plaque. When they walked in, they found that it was like another world. Inside was a small two-story building in a zigzag shape, with a tall antique stage in the middle. Under the stage there were many tables and benches with many people drinking tea and chatting.
Shen Huai sat down with Chu i Bo, ordered tea and asked, “Do you know where we are?”
Chu i Bo looked around. In fact, as soon as she ca in, she felt a little familiar. This was how a stage looked like during the Republic of China. She just thought it was a teahouse with a gimmick, but when she looked at the stage carefully she found out that everything was exquisite. It was a real stage.
Chu i Bo thought for a mont before saying, “This stage has sothing to do with my audition?” She paused. “The owner of this place is surnad Xue?”
Shen Huai laughed. “Yes, this is Mr. Xue’s family property. Today, Xue Ling, that ‘Little Yun Chuo Yi’ , will co to perform on this stage.”
Chu i Bo: “Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated?”
“Exactly, ” Shen Huai affird her, and then said, “However, the Xue family is a family of opera, and Mr. Xue and Director Yu are good friends. If you can’t obviously outperform the other party, I’m afraid you may not be able to get this role.”
His words made Chu i Bo’s expression finally beco dignified.
Shen Huai then said, “Among these characters, Yun Chuo Yi is the most important one. Xue Ling is called ‘Little Yun Chuo Yi’ . She will certainly have so abilities. If she can act Yun Chuo Yi perfectly, I’m afraid she will be the only one for this role.”
However, when Shen Huai said that Chu i Bo’s expression gradually relaxed.
“You brought all the way here. It’s impossible for you to just show how strong my opponent is, in order to take a blow on my confidence.”
Shen Huai smiled and shook his head. “Of course not.”
He looked at Chu i Bo. “I checked the information. You studied opera in Liyuan before. At that ti, Yun Chuo Yi was not famous. You had a lot of dealings with her, right?”
Chu i Bo frowned, as if rembering sothing unpleasant. “That’s right.”
Shen Huai laughed. “No matter what you used to have in the past, it’s over now. In order to get this role, you must learn from her.”
He paused. “I got the news, Director Yu will co here to listen to today’s performance. If he is satisfied with Xue Ling, maybe tomorrow he will just go through the motions, so this is the only chance for you to get this role.”
