Chapter 441: Movie Queen Supporting Act

The micro-film was funded by the organizers of the latest “Movie Queen Award”.

The aim was to gather all the controversial female stars together to make a micro-film, and then let the judges and the audience judge who would be the movie queen this year based on their performance in the film.

Jiang Yu and Li Yue were not the only ones who were controversial. There were also the other three female stars.

However, the three of them were really out of schedule and could only invite Jiang Yu and Li Yue.

The director team had initially planned to let Li Yue be the female lead. After all, she had won the Movie Queen award for two consecutive years.

However, Li Yue’s agent said that Li Yue’s schedule was too full recently and she hoped to get a less important role.

In that case, Li Yue would have more time to do other work as well as perform in this movie.

There was no other way, so the directing team decided to let Jiang Yu take the lead role.

“Since the two actors have already met today, let’s first rehearse the scenes and then start the first audition,” said the director.

Jiang Yu and Li Yue began to read the script carefully, and soon they were deeply attracted by the story.

This micro-film was not just to gather those female celebrities. The moral of the story it wrote was also very good — through the protagonist’s past life and present life, it showed the charm of China for five thousand years.

The character played by Jiang Yu was the empress in her past life, the wife of a warlord In this life, she was a gorgeous and beautiful scholar.

The character played by Li Yue was a noble consort in her past life, a pure and innocent girl school student. In this life, she was also a gorgeous and beautiful scholar.

Sister Xia looked at the character list of the two of them, she said with some difficulty, “Director, did Jiang Yu and Li Yue get their roles mixed up? Although the Empress and noble consort were not very different, the difference between a youth school student and a warlord’s wife was a little too big. I personally feel that Jiang Yu is better as a student.”

The director was also in a difficult position, he said, “But that’s what the scriptwriter from the organizers requested. I’m also doing things being paid, so I don’t dare to change it without permission. If it’s really not suitable, I can only discuss it with movie queen Li and see if she can spare some time to play the female lead.”

“This…” Sister Xia was suddenly in an even more difficult position.

Jiang Yu comforted sister Xia and said, “It’s alright, Sister Xia. You just have to trust me.”

Sister Xia sighed, “Jiang Yu, of course I trust you. But the one acting with you is Li Yue. Her qualifications and temperament are more suitable for the role of the warlord’s wife than you. I’m just afraid that your acting isn’t suitable and your score will be lowered.”

Jiang Yu smiled and said, “It’s alright.”

After about half an hour, the director said, “Has everyone finished reading the script? Let’s start with the first audition. Now, I’ll have to trouble Li Yue and Jiang Yu to go to the dressing room to put on their makeup.”

The first audition was for the scene between the Empress and the noble consort.

According to the script, the empress was calm and unperturbed, as if she did not care about the world.

The noble consort was aloof and ambitious towards a higher position.

Jiang Yu and Li Yue had a good grasp of these two roles.

Jiang Yu played the empress as if she did not care about the world and only wanted to spend the rest of her life peacefully in this palace wall.

Li Yue also made the noble consort look as if she was insufferably arrogant. In her eyes, she completely expressed her desire for the position of Empress.

“Very good! Jiang Yu and Li Yue’s performances are very intense!” The director couldn’t help but clap his hands in praise.

He had been in this industry for so many years, but this was the first time he had seen someone who could handle the role so well. It was as if the role was tailor-made for them.
