Chapter 223 She is Wang Sijia, Transition Period
She glanced at the four people sitting there and felt that the one in the middle seemed a little familiar. She must have remembered him, but this was not the time to think about these things.
Wang Haitao spoke first: "I see you have no experience in filming before, let's try a scene first."
Wanfeng handed over a file. "This is part of Wang Sijia and Gu Zheng's daily chat. Please note that they are already familiar with each other at this time. At the beginning, the person next to me will be your partner in the scene."
After Ji Xia took it, he nodded to Shan Siyuan to indicate that he understood.
I have to say that the director has some talent. He deliberately picked a very plain dialogue. If you can perform this part well, there will definitely be no problem.
That’s why live auditions are so scary. You have to memorize the lines and perform them in front of the director and a bunch of people in a short period of time.
Ji Xia quickly memorized this conversation and thought about how to act it out.
"I'm ready"
“You can start.”
Ji Xia's expression changed in an instant, her eyes full of innocence, and she walked in very naturally. She stopped in front of Shan Siyuan and turned around: "Gu Zheng, do you think my new dress looks good? Mom said I'm an adult now."
Shan Siyuan's low voice rang out, "Wang Sijia, are you off work?"
Ji Xia casually moved a chair and placed it in front of Gu Zheng, with his feet up. "Why are you so serious? Is business good today?"
"good"
"You are always like this," the girl touched her arm unconsciously, but she took her hand away in an instant.
"Gu Zheng, which university did you graduate from? What is university like?" Wang Sijia was not defeated by the indifference at all. She stood up curiously and looked closely at Shan Siyuan, with clear curiosity in her eyes.
Shan Siyuan was startled by her face suddenly approaching him, and Ji Xia's eyes were like something written in a script.
"Gu Zheng?" The girl asked again in confusion, calling the man's consciousness back.
"You want to go to college?" The man avoided the question.
The girl nodded but then shook her head, her slightly rough hair flying around as if revealing her emotions. "I didn't even finish junior high school, and I can't leave this neighborhood for the rest of my life." She was smiling, but there was sadness in her eyes.
The conversation ended with Gu Zheng's silence. He could not make any promises.
"See you tomorrow then. Remember to tell me about your college life." The girl turned and walked into the dark neighborhood, her white skirt the last light.
Wang Haitao was already immersed in the performance. Although there was no street scene in the background, it was the acting skills of the two that successfully brought the other three into the performance.
Shan Siyuan was the first to applaud. He didn't expect that he would be really attracted by the other party's acting skills. This was a very rare thing.
"Thank you." Ji Xia broke away from the plot and bowed slightly.
Wang Haitao just wanted to pound the table, thinking, "God has not let me down!" He was so moved that he wanted to cry. He had thought the filming would be postponed, but he didn't expect God to help him. He immediately stood up and took out the camera from behind.
Wang Haitao, a photographer by training, was fiddling with his work when Shan Siyuan asked, "This film's subject matter is very sensitive. It's very likely it won't be shown in China. You need to be mentally prepared."
Shan Siyuan's words and the director's actions almost made it clear: Ji Xia, this role belongs to you.
Ji Xia smiled and said, "As an actor, it is my honor to receive this kind of script. The role of Wang Sijia is also a new challenge for me. As long as I am given this opportunity, I will definitely cherish it and do my best to perform well."
As a foreigner, David was more outgoing. He stood up and praised in his broken Chinese: "Ji Xia, you acted very well. I love it so much."
"Thank you,"
Wang Haitao set up the camera and said, "Ji Xia, look here is the last part, act it out again."
Ji Xia quickly adjusted her state, smiled shyly at the camera, with sadness and helplessness in her eyes, "See you tomorrow, remember to tell me about your university life." After saying that, she turned and left.
Screenwriter Wanfeng stared at the screen in a daze. This was how Wang Sijia looked in her mind.
Wang Haitao and the others exchanged glances and immediately made the decision: "This role belongs to you, Ji Xia, you are Wang Sijia, leave the schedule after October to me."
Ji Xia couldn't hide her excitement, she just replied: "Okay"
Wang Haitao certainly knew that Ji Xia’s TV series had been canceled before. There must be capital interference behind this. He, Shan Siyuan and David invested in this movie just to win awards, so it doesn’t matter if it can’t be shown in China.
Now that Ji Xia's acting skills completely meet their requirements, there is no need to consider it further. The next one may not be better.
"It's a pleasure to work with you. I will inform you of the specific details and time via WeChat." Wang Haitao instructed.
"Where are we going to shoot?" Ji Xia was more concerned about this point.
"Hong Kong, the scenery there is almost completed," Wang Haitao chose that place for policy and filming reasons.
"Okay, I'll go back and prepare." Ji Xia did not hesitate. Although she and Yanyan were still in the honeymoon period, nothing could affect her dream.
You can only go back and forth as much as possible during rest time.
Ji Xia pushed the door open and left. Guo Guo, who was standing at the door, was extremely nervous, but she didn't dare to ask you. What if Xia Xia performed poorly?
Ji Xia put on a mask, and the two opened their parasols. When they got in the car, Ji Xia said, "Get ready to go to Hong Kong. The trip will last four months."
Zhang Guoguo turned around in surprise, glanced around in disbelief, and asked in a low voice, "Did you get it?"
"Of course." Ji Xia raised his eyebrows arrogantly.
"Ahhhh, you're amazing! Xia Xia is truly the best." Zhang Guoguo drove excitedly, "When it comes out, I'll have to book the entire theater. I'll be a main actor, too..."
"You guys should pack up as soon as possible these few days. The filming is still very tight. You should stay there until it's finished. I'm not sure if there will be any vacation." Ji Xia instructed.
"Ou Ke, we have to make it clear to you. I haven't been to Hong Kong yet. Let's go shopping there before we finish."
"arrange"
The car turned a corner and left the parking lot. At this moment, a car that had been parked opposite suddenly opened its window, revealing a beautiful face. Zhao Siyu stared at the departing car with an extremely distorted expression.
She and Qin Ziqi were completely over. Qin Ziqi kept asking himself what had happened. Zhao Siyu knew very well that if he had not been in the entertainment industry, he would have questioned her long ago.
Thinking of Qin Ziqi, Zhao Siyu's hatred for Ji Xia intensified.
When she finished her audition, she saw Zhang Guoguo. She knew this girl, she was Ji Xia's assistant. "Ji Xia is here too?"
So Zhao Siyu didn't leave and waited in the parking lot until she saw Ji Xia's figure, confident and mature.
Zhao Siyu was a little confused. It turned out that Ji Xia was no longer the poor girl she had ridiculed in the student dormitory. Why didn't she just stay poor?
Why is God so unfair? Didn’t Ji Xia just find a good boyfriend?
Zhao Siyu thought viciously that if Ji Xia died, she would still be the one in a high position instead of being suppressed by her now.
Ji Xia signed the contract these days and completed the subsequent promotion of Liuli Yan, and then packed his luggage, ready to go to the next crew at any time.
After Wang Haitao confirmed Ji Xia, he did not forget to send a message to his friend Wang Xiong, the director who had filmed Phoenix with Ji Xia before and they were old friends, to ask what he thought of this girl.
[Wang Xiong: Are you going to collaborate with Ji Xia?]
[Wang Haitao: I thought she was pretty good during the audition. How is she doing on your set?]
Wang Xiong: Very good, dedicated, quick to get into the role, hardworking and uncomplaining. He is definitely a good actor of the new generation.
[Wang Haitao: Your evaluation is too high]
[Wang Xiong: You’ll understand once you’ve filmed with her. Look at Liuli Yan now, her popularity has exceeded 30,000 in every episode.]
Wang Haitao felt more relieved. Wang Xiong was his friend, and since he had given such an evaluation, it must be correct.
Wang Haitao was worried that Ji Xia might not cooperate on the set, but Wang Xiong's words reassured him that as long as he was dedicated to his job, everything would be fine.
As Wang Xiong said above, "Liuliyuan" is now the hottest TV series. The TV series starring Song Yurou and Pei Chen ended quietly. Apart from the fans who are still paying attention, it did not cause any ripples among the public.
Liu Li Pendant is already halfway through its broadcast. Thanks to the investment from Huanyuan Technology, the special effects that Director Liu Xi had wanted to complete before were successfully produced after receiving sufficient investment.
The top-notch acting, good script, appropriate music, and exquisite post-production all prove why this TV series became so popular.
It can be said that the investment in Huanyuan Technology was fully recovered in the form of doubling.
Now the plot of Liuli Pendant has advanced to a small climax, and the junior sister Mu Tian will soon personally give the last heavenly treasure to the great devil Li Yuan to revive him.
Many fans are posting messages on social media, looking forward to tonight's plot.
[I always feel like I’m going to get stabbed tonight, it’s a tonic]
The four of them are so happy together. Let's keep it like this. I love watching it.
[The junior sister played by Ji Xia is so cute, there is no trace of herself at all. I feel like every strand of her hair is telling everyone that I am a girl spoiled by the whole sect]
[The most important thing is that none of the four players have low IQ. When playing the dungeon, they all use their own abilities.]
[Really, I don’t even dare to watch the rest of the story]
[There are five of us in our family. Even grandpa and grandma don’t go out to square dance in the evening. They just sit in front of the TV and watch TV.]
[I have to say that Ji Xia is a qualified actress. She has not rested since her debut and has been joining the crew all the time. Moreover, no matter which female role she plays in the script, she always performs well.]
[Now that you mention it, it seems so. She hasn't worked with big directors, and she didn't play the leading female role in Princess Zhaoning or Murong Xue before. Liuli Yan was her first leading role.]
How can we make every character stand out?
[It’s a good performance. The same role can have different effects when played by different actors.]
【Model Worker】
[I used to think she had the capital to get here, but now looking at her trajectory, I can only say that she is a natural actor. Qin Ziqi and Wen Sisi, who acted with her, have all become famous.]
[Her fighting scenes are great to watch, she looks so light and graceful, and her wire flying is amazing.]
If the ending is tragic, I will definitely send a knife to the director.
[Probably not, happy endings are popular now]
[I have prepared snail noodles and fried chicken]
……
The plane Jiang Qingyan was on provided paid internet, but it was not very stable, so it took Jiang Qingyan a while to receive the news that Ji Xia sent him that she had passed the audition and would be going to Hong Kong to film a movie.
He didn't react much. Jiang Qingyan would naturally support Xia Xia in making the movie she liked. No matter where Xia Xia went to film, he would just fly over to see her.
After Jiang Qingyan replied to the message, he continued to look at the documents. He has a very strong working ability, otherwise he would not have accumulated so many assets at such a young age.
Zhou Yu was sleeping soundly beside him.
Jiang Qingyan looked at him and couldn't help but sigh. He really envied the other person for having such a good sleep and being able to fall asleep whenever he wanted.
Ji Xia chose a time to go back to her parents' place. She really had to leave Kyoto for a while for filming this time, so she had to take care of her family.
"Dad, stop working, I'll take you out to eat?" Ji Xia sat on the sofa, enjoying her mother's head massage service, and was so happy that she was spinning in circles.
"Oh, no need. Nothing outside can be as healthy as what dad makes." Ji Gang turned off the range hood and quickly stuck his head out and said, "Dad is very fast." After saying that, Ji Gang quickly closed the glass door and continued to fight on the battlefield.
"Xia Xia, your mother has watched your latest TV series. It's very good." Li Qian pressed her daughter's head thoughtfully.
"Really? Liuli Yan is quite popular. I will act in more TV series in the future, and mom can see her child on TV every day." Ji Xia said coquettishly.
"Mom has been following other young actresses, but none of them act as well as my daughter."
Ji Xia was quite happy that her mother had other hobbies besides knitting dolls. She sat up and asked with interest, "Mom, who are you following?"
"I think there was an inventory, and they were all around your age, but I didn't remember their names."
"Xia Xia, I saw someone say that if an actor's TV series doesn't perform well, will the actor be affected?"
Ji Xia smiled and said, "Don't worry about me. My dramas are all sure to make money. Investors won't have any objections to me. However, if the dramas that are broadcast consecutively all fail, the actors themselves will definitely be affected. Resources will be downgraded, and all kinds of things will follow."
"So that's how it is." Li Qian murmured thoughtfully.
"Grandma seems to be feeling listless lately. Why is she always sleeping in her room?" Ji Xia suddenly thought of something. "Could she be sick?"
Li Qian quickly stopped him and said in a low voice, "Old people are like this in the winter. They sleep a lot and get up in a short while."
The two chatted for a while, and Ji Gang's meal was ready, and the family sat at the table.
"Why don't you guys just go back to the village? I was originally thinking that the next movie would be filmed in Kyoto, so I'd have time to visit you every week. Now that I'm filming in Hong Kong, I can't come back, and it's going to be uncomfortable for you to stay here."
