Yang Haoran explained, “Director Chen’s films have always performed well. Even if you’re the third female lead, you’ll receive a lot of attention. Moreover, his crew has a good reputation. Getting along with them will form connections. The only drawback is that Director Chen’s movies are mostly in the comedy genre. Every character has more or less the same personality. I’m worried that might not be good for your image.”
Song Ci did not mind the cons.
“I’ll read the script first. If it’s good, I won’t have any objections. In my opinion, comedy is not a lesser genre.”
“Okay. I’ll send the script to you. The audition will be held publicly. I’m not sure if there will be internal influences. Furthermore, the competition will be quite fierce. Don’t be disappointed if you’re not picked.”
As Yang Haoran spoke, he sent an email to Song Ci.
“Understood.”
Song Ci took a look at the email. The script’s contents were very simple. It was about the humorous adventure of two middle-aged men and a young girl.
Needless to say, Song Ci would be auditioning for the young girl’s role. Frankly, it could be considered as the female lead. Yang Haoran mentioned “third female lead” because he did not arrange the roles according to gender.
The girl was portrayed as cold and meticulous. She was also a germaphobe. Basically, she had a high IQ (TN: Intelligence Quotient) but low EQ (TN: Emotional Quotient). Additionally, the girl was only nineteen. Hence, the actress playing her could not be too old. At the same time, having experience was crucial. Otherwise, the scenes would just come across as awkward. Song Ci was very interested in this role.
An actor’s commercial value would rise if they work with someone like Director Chen. Of course, it would not be easy. One needed to be skilled and appealing.
Song Ci had confidence in her acting skills, but she was not very famous. That may drag her down.
“I’ll give it a try. I’m also going to tell Tian Tian about this matter. There’s a high possibility that she’ll be chosen. We shouldn’t waste such a good opportunity.”
Yang Haoran thought to himself, ‘As expected of the general manager. She’s so resourceful.’
“Okay. By the way, the two male leads are A-listers. If we can get the role, it’ll definitely raise our popularity. Make sure you’re well prepared.”
Yang Haoran could not help but worry about Song Ci. The audience might be displeased with her relatively unknown status as an actress.
“I know.”
The conversation ended and Yang Haoran went back to work.
Song Ci read through the script again before calling Tian Tian. The latter did not expect her to be so generous.
“I see. Thank you for letting me know. I’ll treat you to a meal If I get the role.”
Song Ci replied with a smile, “You must give it your all.”
“The same goes for you.”
Song Ci laughed.
“You need the money more than me.”
Tian Tian rolled her eyes.
“Shut up.”
“Haha, I was just kidding. Anyway, I won’t disturb you anymore.”
Song Ci hung up the call and began looking at other scripts. It was important to have a backup plan.
Soon, it was time to go home.
Song Ci looked out the window and saw that people were clearing away some snow.
‘I wonder what happened to our snowmen… Did they melt? If they did, the kids would be very upset.’
