Chapter 40 Joining the Group

Shi Wan put the matter aside for the time being, changed his clothes and went for the audition.

Shi Wan took the second audition more seriously because acting with everyone would help her get into the role.

"The Legend of Chifeng" is a fantasy drama.

Tongying was the white moonlight of many people in the early stage. She left the immortal gate for freedom and traveled through the three realms. After returning to the immortal gate, she found that the male protagonist already had a lover, so she made all kinds of troubles between the male and female protagonists to find a sense of existence. She wanted to win the male protagonist back, but in the end the male protagonist dug out the female protagonist's golden elixir to save her, which led to Tongying's blackening. In the end, she became an enemy of all the immortal gates. She killed all those who had made plans and helped to dig out the golden elixir. In the end, her soul was destroyed by the joint efforts of the male and female protagonists, and the world was balanced from then on.

This is Tongying’s perspective.

But from a reader's perspective, Tongying is not qualified to become evil, because her golden elixir is not legitimate in the first place.

During the great war between immortals and demons a hundred years ago, Tongying volunteered to join the war despite her insufficient cultivation. In the end, her golden elixir was destroyed, and she luckily survived, but became a disabled person.

The best senior brother in the world didn't want to see Tongying depressed, so he volunteered to give his elixir to Tongying, hoping that she could practice hard and become a righteous sword of justice.

But Tongying did not cherish the opportunity and actually took the eldest brother's golden elixir to live a carefree life in the three realms. All the immortal disciples felt sorry for the eldest brother and wanted to kill Tongying. So when the male protagonist finally cut open her golden elixir to save the female protagonist, all the readers and people in the story applauded.

Her experience is somewhat similar to Shi Wan's. She was also someone else's white moonlight, and in the end she died at the hands of the person who treated her as his white moonlight.

When it comes to acting, if an actor can deeply dissect the character, it may give the audience a different feeling.

For example, Concubine Hua in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is a character that the readers of the original novel hate so much. However, under Jiang Xin's interpretation, she has a more tragic side that is not written in the original novel. Many viewers will empathize with her, and the character will not be hated unilaterally.

Shi Wan didn't want to use her acting skills to change Tongying's reputation. She just wanted to interpret the Tongying in her heart. Even if she was scolded, she would accept it and it didn't matter.

There is more regret! Tongying did what she failed to do in her previous life and killed all those who hurt her, except the male and female protagonists.

And what about Shi Wan? In his previous life, he only wanted to make Jiang Yifeng and his men bankrupt and indebted, and he didn't even think about hurting them or letting them die without a burial place.

What a kind-hearted woman! In the end, her family was broken up.

There was a lot more sadness in Shi Wan's eyes.

Lin Yurou arrived very early today. She played the role of the third female character who has always been in love with the eldest brother in the play. After the eldest brother gave the golden elixir to Tongying, he disappeared from the entire fairy world. The third female character has been planning and working secretly to destroy Tongying, but she is no match for Tongying and can only do some sneaky things.

Of course, the third female lead's sneaky actions are very satisfying to readers. Although they cannot hurt Tongying in any way, they can embarrass Tongying, and the third female lead's character will be very likable.

After this drama is broadcast, Lin Yurou will definitely not be scolded to the point of hiding at home.

Judging from Lin Yurou's expression, she seemed quite satisfied with the role of the third female lead.

Today, Qin Shuochen came and said directly to Director Li: "Director, I don't want the male lead."

Everyone was shocked and their eyes were focused on Qin Shuochen.

Qin Shuochen pointed at his likable face and said, "I can't play a dead face. I think the third male role is quite suitable for me!"

He looked towards the third male.

"What nonsense are you talking about! How could your status allow you to play the third male lead? Do you want us to be collectively scolded?" Director Li scolded in a doting but unhappily manner.

Qin Shuochen said coquettishly: "You are the one who pays the most attention to the actor's state and details. I will act like a dead person for you."

As he spoke, he became really serious and instantly got into the role, but it was indeed difficult for him to play the role of a dead person. Perhaps it was because his facial muscles were too active, but once he played the role of a dead person, the veins on his face would pop out, which was quite funny.

Shi Wan pursed her lips and smiled.

Director Li felt a little shocked when he saw that Qin Shuochen was really not joking, but his fans would definitely not be happy if Qin Shuochen didn't play the male lead.

"I will explain to the fans. There will absolutely be no situation where anyone gets scolded because of me!" Qin Shuochen promised.

But Director Li was still in a dilemma. Now that the actors had signed contracts, he could only make changes among the existing actors.

Qin Shuochen threw his script to the third male lead: "Let's switch. You are quite suitable for the dead face."

The third male lead looked at Director Li with a dead look on his face, waiting for Director Li's decision.

Director Li really suspected that the two had discussed it privately, and asked the third male: "Are you mentally prepared to be scolded?"

Male No. 3 had a dead look on his face: “Are you not getting scolded enough now?”

Director Li was speechless. Indeed, there were too many fans of the original novel, and he was scolded a lot when he announced that he would be filming this drama.

Then there was the Shiwan incident.

There is still a lot of criticism online! This popularity is all caused by criticism, and Director Li is both sad and happy.

Director Li hesitated for a moment, and after discussing with the screenwriter, he finally agreed to Qin Shuochen's proposal.

Qin Shuochen was happy, not only because he got to play his favorite role, but also because the third male lead was the only one in the play who stood on Shi Wan's side. He was thus supporting Shi Wan.

After a day of audition, Shi Wan had already found the feeling.

The next day we were ready to join the group and everyone went home to pack their things.

Shi Wan was so absorbed in the role that she forgot about Pei Cheng. She went home, packed her things, and went to bed early.

Pei Cheng came to the door of her room in a wheelchair, with his hand raised and hanging in front of the door. After hesitating for a long time, he finally put it down and turned back to his room.

The next day, Shi Wan went out with her suitcase and saw Pei Cheng looking at her with a gentle smile.

The expression on her face is not too wonderful.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I..." She really has been thinking about Tongying...

Pei Cheng still smiled and said softly, "It's okay. I knew you were joining the group today, so I just wanted to see you."

Shi Wan squatted down in front of him, looking worried: "The shoot is expected to take three months. Is it okay for you to stay at my house alone during these three months?"

"Isn't it possible to visit the set?"

Shi Wan was surprised, "You want to come and visit me?"

"Can't you?"

"Of course you can, but I'm afraid you will care about other people's opinions."

Shi Wan did not hide it anymore. Pei Cheng had always been isolated from the world and had never been poisoned by gossip. She was afraid that he would hear unpleasant words, afraid that he would care about his broken leg, afraid... afraid that he would be hit as soon as he went out.

"Do you care?" Pei Cheng asked.

"I care!" Shi Wan answered immediately.

Pei Cheng smiled, knowing that she had misunderstood his question, and asked again: "Do you care if I embarrass you?"

Shi Wan was stunned, realizing that he had misunderstood just now, and scratched his head: "When did I feel ashamed of you? I wish the whole world knew that you are my brother Pei Cheng. Look at you, you have an immortal temperament, a peerless face, a beautiful heart, and you are the best to me in the world! They are envious of you, how dare they laugh at me?"

Looking at Shi Wan's arrogant look, Pei Cheng's smile became even more intense. She was not lying, she really felt that he was worthy of pride, just as she had been before.

Pei Cheng raised his hand and touched her head: "Then I will visit her in two days. You should work hard and do what you want to do. Leave the rest to me."

After he finished speaking, Pei Cheng started coughing violently again. He had been talking for too long and was out of breath.

Shi Wan stood up to help him calm down, and joked: "I should be the one to say this! Do what you want to do, and leave the rest to me! I'm so awesome now! Even Pei Lie can have a good time with me!"

Pei Cheng smiled and didn't tell her that Pei Lie was a good brother and didn't bully him.

Shi Wan didn't have breakfast and asked Butler Wu to take her to the crew.

I didn't mean to tell Butler Wu something, it was really because the family was too poor. Apart from a bodyguard who was just for show and a live-in nanny, Huang Ma, there was only the butler. There was a full-time driver, but that full-time driver was an employee of the company. When Shi Zhenqiang was away on business, the driver would rest.

Ah! The Shi family is so poor!
