Chapter 377
At this moment, reason and instinct were playing a tug-of-war.
Rationally, she knew that she was in the middle of an audition, and the past was already in the past. It was impossible for anyone to hurt her now, but she still instinctively remembered the pain.
In medical terms, this condition was considered PTSD, also known as post-traumatic stress disorder. When she was young, she had frequent contact with psychologists, and she had read many books about this after she grew up.
She thought that she had already shaken off the fear she had from the incident back then. After so many years, Jiang se felt that her kidnapping was already a thing of the past.
However, when something really touched on that point, she realized that the aftereffects were still there.
However, she shouldn’t be afraid. She wasn’t as weak as she was when she was young. She clenched her fists, suppressed the fear in her heart, and slowly raised her head.
Half of her face was covered by the silk scarf, and her eyes were particularly prominent.
Her brows were slightly furrowed and her eyes were like almond-shaped irises. Her eyelashes were full, making her eyes sparkle. She was charming, but also frightened and weak.
She was like a frightened animal. Her eyes seemed to be able to speak, and she was very pitiful.
Jiang SE’s inner thoughts were fully displayed in her pair of autumn eyes. If the question he had proposed for the audition was a last-minute test, then Zhang Jingan could give her full marks for her answer.
She did not seem to be acting at this moment. Instead, she gave Zhang Jingan the feeling that he was really facing the tearful begging of a kidnapped girl.
It was really too vivid!
Zhang Jingan suppressed the excitement in his heart. This was the feeling he wanted.
When he first saw Jiang SE’s performance in ” love “, he had already imagined this look and scene thousands of times in his mind.
When he was auditioning for her, Zhang Jingan was actually a little worried. There were some things that no matter how good he thought of them, it would be useless. It would still depend on whether Jiang se could meet his expectations.
However, her performance was much better than Zhang Jingan had imagined. The moment Zhang Jingan put forward the audition questions, she was not affected by her surroundings or any external interference. At that moment, the look in her eyes changed.
She almost ignored the mirror in the meeting room and the staff outside.
She was not the only actress who had auditioned in this conference room. Tao cen had also performed here before.
As they were both stars of the Galaxy century, Zhang Jingan inevitably compared the two in his mind. Both of them were the targets of the Galaxy century. One was the top star of the Galaxy century, and the other was a star who had just started her career and was working hard to advance.
She was also brought out by the top manager, Xia Chaoqun, and she was also outstanding in appearance.
When the two of them faced him, their reactions were completely different. Tao cen’s ambition was written in her eyes. She was confident and cunning, and she knew what she wanted.
During the audition, Zhang Jingan had made the same request. Tao cen, with his superb acting skills and excellent control of the scene, effortlessly acted as if the kidnapped person was alive. All these years, Tao cen’s career in the underworld had not been in vain.
In comparison, Jiang se was also ambitious and confident. However, her gaze was different from Tao cen’s. It was obvious that her acting skills were not as good as Tao cen’s.
However, for this role, she was able to show that kind of fear.
Not only did she act like a kidnapped girl who might be persecuted, but most importantly, she stirred up the crowd’s emotions.
There was nothing in front of Jiang se. However, through her frightened eyes, Zhang Jingan could almost imagine that ” she ” was facing a few desperadoes who sent shivers down her spine. She had a much deeper understanding of the situation than Tao cen.
Tao cen’s acting skills were superb because she could adjust her facial expressions to increase her persuasiveness. However, when she covered her face and only looked at her eyes, Zhang Jingan felt that the current Jiang se was undoubtedly more compatible with the female lead of his movie.
He started clapping. Xia Chaoqun turned to look at Jiang se. Mo Anqi and Lin Siyi reached out to help her up. Jiang se forced a smile and even forgot to remove the scarf from her face.
“Director Zhang, did I pass?”
She tried to speak in a joking tone, but when she spoke, she still had a lingering fear and her palms were cold to the bone.
Mo Anqi was very happy for her. She assumed that Jiang se was nervous about the audition and did not think of anything else.
“Your performance was not bad.”
Zhang Jingan nodded. Due to Jiang SE’s earlier performance, his expression had softened.
With Zhang Jingan’s approval, once the initial intention to cooperate was formed, the next thing would be much smoother.
When it came to the contract and remuneration, Xia Chaoqun would be in charge of fighting for Jiang se later on. This was not part of their conversation today.
After setting Jiang SE’s identity as the female lead for the time being, Zhang Jingan made his own request.
at the moment, your image and acting are both very good. After the matter is settled, I will ask miss Lin to prepare the script lines and character outline for you. You can think about it carefully. He sat up straight. The big-name director, who had entered his working state, looked much harsher. once you’ve decided to take on this film and we’ve reached an initial agreement to work together, I want you to free up three months for me.
During the conversation, he revealed some details of the movie, which was rare.
“My female lead is a socialite from Shanghai.” The so-called socialite was not something that could be simply described as the daughter of a rich businessman. it’s about your bearing and mannerism.
Zhang Jingan took a sip of water and continued, ”
“The total length of the movie is only that long, so there are many things that can’t be explained. You have to integrate these things into the audience in the subsequent performance, so that the audience can have a deeper impression of your background and status through your actions. That’s why I want you to go through about 100 days of training after signing the contract.”
He counted with his fingers for Jiang se to hear.
this training includes etiquette class, posture training, and so on. When Zhang Jingan said this, he paused for a moment. He turned to observe Jiang SE’s face. She had already taken off her silk scarf, so there was nothing covering her face anymore. Her skin was as fair as porcelain, and the traces of her makeup removal earlier had disappeared. He nodded.
other than that, I’ll hire a nutritionist to match your diet so that you can appear on camera without any makeup. Is that okay? ”
He made a lot of requests. At this moment, Jiang se finally understood why Tao cen and Zhang Jingan did not manage to get along.
Tao cen wouldn’t be able to achieve this with just a hundred days of training, but as Xia Chaoqun had said, she could.
