Chapter 157: Chapter 157: Gu Chu’s Acting Skills (1)
Gu Manxi pinched her baby daughter’s face, feeling very happy.
The mother and daughter reminisced for a while. Lu Shanhe finished the last drumstick, took the tissue from Jiang Cheng, and wiped his hands. Then he started to talk about business. “Chuchu, listen carefully to uncle Lu.”
Gu Chu sat down and listened attentively.
Lu Shanhe said, “In the movie that Uncle Lu is shooting, there is a child’s role. It only takes about ten seconds, but it requires a young actor to show off her extraordinary acting skills. Chuchu, in a while, there will be three other little girls your age who will be competing with you for this role. Even though Uncle Lu likes Chuchu very much, I won’t be biased, understand?”
Gu Chu nodded. “I understand. Don’t worry, Uncle Lu. My acting skills are very good.”
Actually, Gu Chu was not interested in being a cameo, but she had heard that Cao Yuezhi had a seven-year-old niece who would also be auditioning.
Gu Chu was not too assured. Cao Yuezhi had been behaving a little weirdly these days, which did not fit her vicious female supporting role at all – unless there was a bigger conspiracy.
Gu Chu planned to stay for two days to find out more about Cao Yuezhi.
Lu Shanhe laughed out loud. Gu Manxi looked at Gu Chu with a reproachful look and reprimanded him softly, “Chuchu, don’t talk big.”
Cheng Qi, who was beside her, thought to himself,
I believe that your acting skills are unparalleled.
…
On the other side, they were also in the filming area.
Cao Yuezhi bent down and told the chubby little girl seriously, “Mengmeng, you must win this role.”
The chubby girl raised her little face. “Don’t worry, Aunty. Mengmeng will also become a beautiful actress like Aunty in the future. I will definitely not disappoint Aunty.”
Cao Yuezhi nodded in satisfaction. During this period of time on the production team, Cao Yuezhi felt an unprecedented grievance.
In the past, when she was on the production team, she would definitely be the center of attention and the director’s favorite. However, ever since she joined Director Lu’s production team, it seemed that everyone around was paying attention to that b*tch Gu Manxi!
She even heard many people whispering in the dark that Cao Yuezhi, the movie queen, wasn’t that great of an actress. She could not even compare to Gu Manxi, who had retired from the industry for five years.
Cao Yuezhi was extremely angry. Since it was not convenient for her to play any tricks due to Director Lu’s presence, she could only hold her anger in her heart for the time being. Now that Director Lu wanted to find a small acting role, she heard that Gu Manxi had a little girl coming to audition. Cao Yuezhi immediately called her little niece over.
If I can’t win against you with the leading role, I must take the kids role from you.
“If Mengmeng can enter the set, I naturally have a way to deal with you.” Cao Yuezhi’s red lips curved slightly.
…
Gu Manxi had something to do at the last minute. Cheng Qi continued to take on the responsibility of a guardian and brought Gu Chu into the audition studio.
The studio was not big, and two huge photography lights lit up the entire room.
On a row of chairs, three little girls who were participating in the audition and their accompanying guardians were all there. The three little girls were all six or seven years old. They looked cute and looked good in their clothes. Probably knowing that they would be competing for the same role later, the little girls were secretly competing with each other.
The girl in the green dress was called Nannan. Nannan said, “I have been acting since I was four years old. What about you?”
The girl in the pink dress was called Lili. Lili snorted. “What’s so great about acting when you’re four years old? I was the female lead of a drama in my kindergarten class. One of my scenes lasts for half an hour.”
The girl in the yellow dress was called Mengmeng. Mengmeng was obviously more proud than the other two little girls, like a little peacock that stood high up in the sky, the little girl said proudly, “My aunt is the award-winning actress, the famous Cao Yuezhi. Did you know that my aunt taught me acting skills personally? Do you have such a great aunt?”
