Falling in Love with My Contracted Husband - Chapter 244

Chapter 244 Audition

She took a bite of the sandwich and Xiao Mo sat opposite her for a long time. He looked down at himself and asked gloomily, “Sister Zi Xi, are you older than me?”

An Zixi held the milk cup and nodded, causing Xiao Mo to be even more depressed. “Sister Zixi looks like a high school student today. No, I mean, she’s especially youthful.”

“Thank you. I want to see the director with a very energetic look.” She had thought about it. She was acting as Number Three, and there must be Number One and Number Two in the group. It was better to dress in a low profile.

However, she placed her hand on her protruding stomach. With this stomach, it would be difficult to keep a low profile, right?

Director Chen was very trustworthy. He said that he had arranged for the staff to take good care of An Zixi, and even sent a nanny car for professional actors to pick her up.

A young girl walked down from the nanny carriage and saw An Zixi standing there. She rushed over to support her and carefully said, “Miss An, please walk slowly. Don’t be anxious, don’t be anxious.”

Xiao Mo, who had sent her out, had already laughed so hard that his stomach hurt. An Zixi blushed and whispered awkwardly, “You don’t have to exaggerate. I’m pregnant, not going to give birth.”

No matter what, the little girl had to insist on helping her get into the nanny car. After getting in the car, she waited for her to stabilize herself before telling the driver to drive. An Zixi smiled and looked at the pedestrians outside the car window. The little girl enthusiastically danced and introduced herself to her.

“Miss An, my name is Ti Mo. I’ll be your assistant for the next few days.” Ti Mo enthusiastically handed her the script. An Zixi looked at her clothes and guessed that she might be a freshman college student.

“Miss An, are you thirsty?” Ti Mo picked up a bottle of mineral water and asked her.

An Zixi lowered his head to read the script and casually answered not thirsty. Ti Mo took another lunch and asked, “Are you hungry? This is a takeout I ordered outside. If you’re hungry, then …”

“Ti Mo, did you become an assistant on your first day?” An Zixi raised his head and smiled kindly.

Ti Mo nodded shyly and put the lunch and mineral water aside. “Miss An, to tell you the truth, although today is my first day as your assistant, I was fired by four female artists.”

“Why? They don’t think you’re good enough?” She felt that this little girl was quite good. She was earnest and motivated in her work. The most important thing was that she was kind-hearted.

Ti Mo shook his head again. “It’s mainly because I’m too stupid. I can’t figure out what they want me to do every time. Last time, after a female artist was there, Tai clamored for sweets and chestnuts. Her manager ordered me to buy them back in ten minutes. If I can’t buy them tomorrow, I don’t need to come back.”

“Then what happened afterwards? Did you buy it back?”

‘”Yes, but it will be half an hour before I deliver the chestnuts to the female artist. She opens the bag and puts it on my head and asks me to scram. I ran a few blocks to buy the chestnuts, but she didn’t even look at them.” Ti Mo whispered as he grabbed the buttons on his clothes.

The more An Zixi listened, the angrier he became. How could there be such an unqualified artist?

“You don’t need to worry about me. You don’t need to do anything like drinking water. Right. Did Director Chen tell you anything before coming?” An Zixi almost understood the script and put it aside.

Ti Mo seriously recalled and shook his head after confirming that there was no such thing.

“That’s good. You don’t need to be busy anymore. Just sit back and rest assured.” An Zixi had long heard that being an artist’s assistant was not easy. Today, she truly realized that it was not easy.

When they arrived at the set, An Zixi got off the car and saw that the set had already been set up for the spy period. The staff in charge of clothing and props ran back and forth between the two sides. Ti Mo took An Zixi to see Director Chen. Director Chen was sitting with Qiyuan Lin to discuss the filming of the first scene. When he heard An Zixi coming, he excitedly put down the things in his hands.

“Miss An, I’ve finally expected you. I’m still worried that you won’t come.” Director Chen asked her to sit down first and let Ti Mo bring her some water to drink.

An Zixi called Ti Mo to stop her from getting water. She was not thirsty now. She turned to Director Chen and said politely, “Thank you, Director Chen, for giving me an opportunity to act as an amateur outsider. I don’t have any experience in acting, so I guess I’ll cause trouble for everyone.”

“Hey, what did Miss An say? I believe in my own judgement. The actors I chose won’t be wrong.” He patted her shoulder encouragingly. Lin Qiyuan gave her a cheering look and An Zixi smiled and nodded.

The first scene was Lin Qiyuan. Director Chen asked him to try out a scene to find a feeling. When Lin Qiyuan got dressed and came out, all the female celebrities in the surroundings screamed in excitement. An Zixi, who was studying the script, was attracted by this scream. He saw Lin Qiyuan standing there wearing a white suit from a wealthy young master. A moment of admiration flashed through his eyes.

He’s really handsome!

“Wow! Lin Qiyuan is really as handsome as the legends say!” He didn’t know what the ranking was, but Nameless Little Flower’s eyes were shining with admiration.

“Yeah, it’s a pity that we’re not the ones acting opposite him.” A small flower wearing a purple cheongsam sighed in disappointment.

“Speaking of acting opposite each other, who snatched my number three position?” Xiao Hua, who was wearing a light green cheongsam, asked angrily. Xiao Hua, who was standing next to her, pointed at An Zixi’s seat and said, “Here, isn’t that it? I heard that she’s pregnant. I wonder what Director Chen thinks of her, but he chose her instead of you.”

Xiao Hua, who was wearing a light green cheongsam, looked at An Zixi’s back contemptuously and said bluntly, “Who knows? I heard that a newbie dares to act in Director Chen’s movie without any acting experience. How shameless.”

They were standing not far from An Zixi, and every word of it entered her ears without missing a single word. She slowly tightened her grip on the script and silently told herself not to argue with them.

“Oh, have you changed your new style?” Xiao Ya rushed to the set after dealing with the things on her hands. She was the only manager with short hair on the set. In other words, everyone in the entertainment industry knew about this “short-haired gold medallist”.

Lin Qiyuan turned around to look at An Zixi’s seat. Xiao Ya saw that he ignored her and followed his gaze. “What are you looking at? Is there anyone you know over there?” She inquired a little. There seemed to be no actress he knew on this crew, right?

“Nothing much. I’ll go to the audition first.” Lin Qiyuan was worried that Xiao Ya would see that An Zixi had a good relationship with him, so he hurriedly withdrew his gaze and walked to Room 1 to prepare for the audition.

‘”Miss An, let’s go to Room 1 to see Lin Ti Mo act as well. He’s my idol. I came to this crew for more than half of the reason.” An Zixi carefully thought about the role he was going to play. Qiyuan walked around her and took pictures of her, “Miss An, let’s go to Room 1 to see Lin Qiyuan act as well.”

“Ah?” An Zixi still didn’t understand, and Ti Mo took her hand and walked towards the first shed. “Ah, what? Let’s go, we’ll see nothing if we’re late.”

Ti Mo knew that An Zixi was still pregnant, so he didn’t dare to walk too fast. When the two of them arrived at the first shed, Lin Qiyuan had already started acting.

An Zixi flipped through the script in his hand and read the contents of the first scene. This scene was about the scene where the male lead played by Lin Qiyuan and his future wife met in the plaza. However, the two of them brushed past each other and did not officially know each other. Afterwards, they were ambushed by the enemy on their way back. The parents of the male lead died in the fire.

The part of Lin Qiyuan’s audition was later a scene of separation from his parents. An Zixi felt that this scene was extremely difficult. It was worthy of Director Chen’s filming style to have such a difficult scene from the beginning.

“Miss An, look how handsome Lin Qiyuan is.” After all, Ti Mo was still a little girl. Seeing her idol in front of her, her little heart couldn’t help but pound.

“Yes.” An Zixi replied softly. She saw Director Chen staring at the monitor and kept saying, “Good, that’s it. His expression is very good.”

Her heart finally relaxed.

“OK! Pass the audition!” Director Chen stood up excitedly and said to Lin Qiyuan that it was hard work. He had never met an actor who could make a scene in the first scene, and he had even made a scene for him.

“Director Chen has lifted up his love. I feel that the scene just now didn’t have the right expression and lines.” Lin Qiyuan humbly told Director Chen about his understanding of the scene just now. Director Chen nodded as he listened, “I feel that if you were to brush past Number Three, you would be able to express your inner feelings more accurately.”

After Director Chen finished speaking, he turned to look for An Zixi. Ti Mo cleverly reminded her that Director Chen was looking for her. When An Zixi noticed Director Chen’s gaze, he nervously stood up and walked in front of him. “Director Chen, are you looking for me?”

“Miss An, it just so happens that you’re here. Why don’t you change into your clothes and shoot the first scene with Qi Yuan?” Director Chen was also looking forward to seeing how exciting her and Lin Qiyuan’s opponents would be.

“Now?” Isn’t this too fast? She hadn’t figured out what was going on with the act yet. It was about to start?

Lin Qiyuan looked into her eyes and said gently, “Don’t worry, it’s actually not that difficult. It’s natural to show your emotions and treat you as Jing Lan in the play. She’s you, you’re her.”

“Am I Jing Lan?” An Zixi asked, confused. Director Chen asked Ti Mo to bring her in to change clothes. An Zixi was taken into the dressing room by Ti Mo in a daze.

Lin Qiyuan sat beside her while she was putting on her makeup. An Zixi in the mirror was the quiet orchid written in the script. She was gentle and generous, kind and innocent.

The moon-white cheongsam was embroidered with orchids. Her bulging lower abdomen was well concealed by the costume master. Her waist and limbs were slender, and she stood in front of the mirror elegantly.

An Zixi put on his makeup and looked in the mirror without confidence. He turned around and asked Lin Qiyuan, “Qiyuan, how do you think I look? I mean, is it strange?” Why does she think it’s weird.

“Very beautiful.” He said affectionately as he stared at her. An Zixi’s eyes widened in shock, and then his cheeks turned red in front of him.

“Then will that person recognize me like this?” She looked at the makeup on her face in the mirror and didn’t seem to be able to tell that she was An Zixi, right?

‘”Don’t worry, he won’t recognize her.” Lin Qiyuan stopped smiling and comforted her for a long time.

“That’s good. Let’s go out.” She took a deep breath, confirmed that she was ready, and strode out.

Lin Qiyuan looked at himself in the mirror. Was he worse than that man? He could give her anything, including his life, but what about that man? Now that he couldn’t even see her, did he still dare to say that he loved her the most in the world?

Ti Mo poked his head out to look for Lin Qiyuan and found him standing in front of the cosmetic mirror. He dared to run over to him and said carefully, “Superstar Lin, Director Chen is calling you outside.”

“Alright, I’ll be right there.” Lin Qiyuan turned around and walked out of the dressing room with Ti Mo. In the distance, she was dressed in white and graceful clothes. Lin Qiyuan forgot what she was thinking and calmly walked in front of her.

Xiao Ya saw that there was suddenly a girl beside Lin Qiyuan. She asked the staff beside her in surprise, “Who is that female star? Why haven’t I seen her before?”
