Sweetness: S

Chapter 16

Tian Wenwen can be said to be the benchmark of literary youth in the film industry.

This female director born in the 60s not only likes to focus on some social stories, but is also very good at pushing the desperate protagonist to a positive ending with a reasonable plot.The last "Orange in Huainan" was hailed as "the Chinese version of Forrest Gump". With its good reputation of making people cry and laugh, it broke the single-week box office record of a literary film in one fell swoop.So as soon as she took over the script of "Awakening of Insects", a large number of agents came to her door, just to get the lead and supporting roles, so as to add more connotations to her artist's resume.

Although the director took the initiative to invite her, Ning Shuangxi still had to go through the audition scene.

The first time I saw Tian Wenwen, this cheerful female director was wearing a long scarf and all kinds of beautiful accessories on her wrists. Just by looking at her appearance, she looked like a middle-aged and young man.Maybe it was because the other party's smile was too kind, Ning Shuangxi's nervousness dissipated a lot, took a deep breath, and acted out a passage from the script on the spot.

"Awakening of Insects" is a suspense movie.The content of the plot has the rhythm of a horror movie, and it talks about all kinds of weird things that the hero, as an ordinary person, encountered on the day of Waking of Insects.The story only happened in one building, and all the people involved in the incident had secrets to tell. In the end, these secrets intertwined and broke out on the day of Waking of Insects. He even almost participated in a crime, and finally regained his rationality and rushed out of the building.

In China, the suspense genre has always had extreme evaluations. Either they play tricks and get sprayed to pieces, or they sell dog meat by tricks, and there are very few applauded and popular ones.

For Zhao Chen, this is a very risky choice.Ning Shuang's hobbies are not easy to be noticed by others. Once he takes on a movie with negative reviews, I'm afraid it will interrupt his upward trend that he had so hard to start.Ning Shuangxi didn't think so, he thought it would be better to be the only protagonist than to compete for a shot among so many dazzling superstars.

Zhao Chen had nothing to do with him. With such an ideal artist on the booth, all he could do was to give his best support and at the same time guide him properly.

Until he watched the audition.

Zhao Chen stood up from his seat and gripped the phone that was still recording just now.

Everyone stood up and applauded, including Tian Wenwen.

He tried his best to read whether there was a little perfunctory on everyone's face, but fortunately, no, the praise on everyone's face was sincere, and I'm afraid that even the movie king couldn't put on such a realistic smile.

He looked back at the little actor squatting on the ground.

In the short 10-minute audition, he was already sweating, and he didn't know if it was too nervous, or the sweat caused by the intense emotional changes just now.

"Very good," Tian Wenwen sighed, "You were really buried in the past, but luckily you made Director Chen's movie."

Ning Shuangxi wiped off her sweat, and laughed at herself: "I guess no one would have thought that I have a talent for evolution, right?"

After everyone left, Zhao Chen walked over and handed him a handkerchief. "The improvement is obvious!" He could only praise so bluntly.Even he didn't expect that Ning Shuangxi could play a tormented and schizophrenic person so realistically.No wonder he has turned down all activities these days, just to hold back such a state at home.

"Did you take the picture?" I didn't expect him to ask this first.

Zhao Chen nodded: "Of course, this clip can be used to sell you in the future, it's perfect..."

"Quick, send it to me." Ning Shuangxi grabbed his phone and used AIRDROP to transfer the video to his phone in two seconds.

Zhao Chen watched as he quickly compressed the video into a small file, and then excitedly sent it to the person in WeChat with a low profile profile picture and ID "Big Star".

"Liang Tianyi?" He asked out of words.

"...Ah, yes." Unexpectedly, Ning Shuangxi seemed to be a little nervous, and replied slowly.

Zhao Chen looked at him inexplicably as he turned and walked away, not understanding why he was so nervous about posting a video.

Ning Shuangxi, who walked out of the room with him on her back, touched her little heart, feeling awkward again.

Strange, why is he nervous?

However, "Big Star"'s reply quickly made him forget about it, because the other party's exclamation marks were several times more than usual, obviously also impacted by his progress.

The joy of being recognized made Ning Shuangxi smile for two whole days.
