Chapter 283: Chapter 283: Bafflingly Dubbed “Ex-Girlfriend
“As we’re talking about this,” Tang Li said, fearing that Wu Xuehan would be railroaded into the role, “the character is endearing, but there are obvious downsides. You’ll be disheveled in almost every scene. By the ti the movie is released, the audience might go through the entire film without seeing your face. Most importantly, you need to be prepared to be typecast.”
Especially for female artists, taking on the “fool” roles is always a careful consideration.
If male actors play a fool and do it well, at worst, they can choose to beco codians. But in the industry, it’s a struggle to na even a handful of famous female codians.
Wu Xuehan is not even 20. If she gets typecast as a codian, her prospects for future roles will only get narrower.
After all, in her previous life, Wu Xuehan’s debut role was very likable.
Even though she wasn’t the main character, she was still dearly loved by the audience.
Tang Li didn’t want the current choice to bury Wu Xuehan’s acting talent. Instead of choosing the wrong role, it’s better to “achieve success at a later stage.”
Besides—
Wu Xuehan beca famous at the age of 24, which is not considered late at all.
Yu Sui, sitting on the corridor railing hugging her small shoulder bag, suddenly said, “If it doesn’t work out, you could just change your na and start over. After all, very few celebrities in the entertainnt circle use their real nas. Didn’t you say the role involves being unkempt? Since your face won’t be clear, if you don’t admit it, how would the audience know you were the Silly Girl?”
Upon hearing this, Wu Xuehan had an epiphany, her eyes lit up: “Right, if my face isn’t clear, as long as I change my na, they definitely won’t recognize !”
“…” Tang Li.
Ten minutes later, Wu Xuehan followed Tang Li back to the main house.
This ti, without needing Tang Li to speak, Wu Xuehan approached Qi Liang herself and said, “Director Qi, I’ve thought it through and decided to take on the role of ‘Silly Girl.'”
Qi Liang put down his tea cup, looked up at her, and asked, “Are you sure?”
Screenwriter ng Chang also looked over.
Pursing her lips, Wu Xuehan’s expression was a bit reserved: “This is my first ti acting, and I will cherish this opportunity. If there are any shortcomings, I will need to trouble you all for guidance.”
Hearing this, Qi Liang turned his gaze back to Tang Li.
Tang Li nodded, “It really is Xuehan’s own decision.”
Qi Liang’s expression softened and he looked back at Wu Xuehan, “Since you’ve made up your mind, let’s go and try out a scene.”
ng Chang got up and went to the next room with them.
Wu Xuehan instinctively looked at Tang Li.
“Don’t be nervous,” Tang Li squeezed her hand. “Believe in yourself. The director and screenwriter said you fit the character well, so don’t try too hard to act.”
Wu Xuehan nodded vigorously like pounding garlic, took a deep breath, and followed them out.
Before long, Qi Liang returned first.
Wu Xuehan followed soon after, her small face slightly flushed, running to Tang Li with joy.
Seeing her like this, Tang Li knew the audition likely went without a hitch.
When they discussed the script and left the courtyard, it was already past four in the afternoon. Wu Xuehan, on her way to her first filming, was both excited and nervous, sitting in the nanny van clenching the script and contract, “It feels like a dream.”
While speaking, she turned her head and giggled at Tang Li, “Ah Li, when you took your first role, how could you be so calm? I’m definitely not going to be able to sleep tonight, I have to call my mom and dad.”
Tang Li’s first real role was actually in her past life.
Back then, she was no better off than Wu Xuehan, only she had no family to share the news with, so she had to suppress that slight joy in her heart.
To celebrate Wu Xuehan landing the role, Tang Li suggested going out for dinner.
Arriving in the city center, she asked the driver to go back first.
Tang Li closed the car door when her gaze fell upon two kids approaching, backpacks on their shoulders, holding hands, each with an ice cream.
Song Jingtian was taken aback when he saw Tang Li, his expression indescribably awkward.
“What’s wrong?” asked the little girl beside him.
“Nothing… nothing much,” Song Jingtian glanced at Tang Li and huffed, “I just saw my ex-girlfriend.”
