Bo Yan had a calm expression. He already had the next actress’s information in front of him. The actress was Shang Feier.
Shang Feier’s acting skills were not bad. After receiving the Best Actress Award at the Jin’Ao Film Festival a few days ago, she had risen in the ranks. Even without Wang Ju’s movie, she would face no barriers in the entertainment industry. Many opportunities would be awaiting her.
However, she still submitted her details to Wang Ju according to the rules for the audition.
When she pushed the door open and entered, she did not have the arrogance of a female celebrity. She politely greeted the judges. “Hello, Director Wang, Director Zhang, CEO Chen, and Teacher Bo.”
Director Zhang was the casting director, while CEO Chen was one of the filmmakers. Both of them smiled at her. After all, Shang Feier was the most prominent female actress amongst those who came for the audition. Furthermore, she was young, pretty, and had decent acting skills.
Bo Yan did not open his mouth, and Director Wang Ju’s face retained a serious expression throughout. “You may begin now.”
Shang Feier nodded and quickly presented a short performance. The part she performed was in the script. It was about the main female lead’s sorrow after realizing that the male lead and the second female lead had an engagement. It was a solo performance.
Shang Feier’s acting skills were indeed good; otherwise, she wouldn’t have received the Jin’Ao Award. She added some layers to her audition performance. Her expression which started with anger, morphed into sadness, and then into a flash of surprise after receiving the male lead’s call. There was also a hint of rejection, despite the hidden happiness inside her heart.
Her performance was complete in all ways. Even if she were thrown onto the stage to act in a musical, she could quickly immerse herself in it.
After she performed the part, Director Zhang and CEO Chen applauded her. “Very good, very good.”
They had judged more than ten actresses for the audition that afternoon. The pretty ones mostly acted poorly, and those who acted well looked too different from the main female lead’s persona.
Shang Feier was twenty-eight, and she looked sweet and innocent. Moreover, her acting skills were solid. She was indeed the most suitable candidate for the main female lead.
However, Bo Yan and Director Wang did not applaud. They looked a bit thoughtful.
Shang Feier’s gaze fell onto Director Wang first before moving on to Bo Yan.
Bo Yan lowered his head and silently looked at her details.
After a few seconds, Wang Ju smiled. “Not bad.”
Shang Feier let out a sigh of relief. She then turned her gaze to Bo Yan, who was the only one yet to speak.
Other than her, the three men looked at Bo Yan as well. Although he was just there to offer his opinions, they could not completely exclude him.
Under everyone’s attention, Bo Yan lifted his head and said in a serious manner, “You acted well.”
This was the main message, and what he said was true too. After he spoke, everyone laughed. The casting director even spoke while laughing, “Then should we pick her first?”
Theoretically, the decision would be made after considering the remuneration and various other conditions, and the team would inform the chosen candidate only after a few days. However, Wang Ju was different. He personally chose the actors for his films, and it was hard for the sponsors to interfere. He was also used to informing the person on the spot.
Wang Ju did not oppose it either. However, there was still a difference between Shang Feier and his ideal candidate. In conclusion, she was not pretty enough.
But he also knew could not find someone who was innocent-looking, pretty, and with good acting skills in such a short time. Shang Feier had at least won awards before, and her commercial value was also decent. She could help with the box office.
“Go and rest first. I’ll inform you regarding the outcomes after choosing the candidates for the second female lead.”
Shang Feier nodded and went to rest. The team started to call for the auditions for the second female lead. The first one to enter was…
