Chapter 84: Audition

Tan Ming smiled and did not really greet him. Instead, she glanced sideways at Jiang Huai.
Seeing this, Jiang Huai interrupted, “Look at me. I haven’t seen you in a long time and forgot to introduce you. An’an, this is Director Dong’s capable assistant director.”
Tan Ming smiled at Cao Leng and nodded slightly. “Hello, Assistant Director Cao. My name is An’an.”
Tan Ming’s smile was very amiable and comfortable to look at. Cao Leng nodded in response. “Director Dong instructed me early this morning. There’s someone auditioning inside now. When she comes out later, it’ll be your turn. You don’t have to queue with the others.”
Cao Leng’s words showed Director Dong’s attitude. He told Jiang Huai that Director Dong valued his request very much and even gave him special care.
Cao Leng arranged for the two of them to wait in the private lounge. After all, this was Tan Ming’s first audition. The closer it was to the time, the more nervous she could not help but be.
He had already encouraged her, but she was still nervous. Jiang Huai could only pat Tan Ming’s head and comfort her in an indifferent manner. “Don’t be afraid. At most, it will be a failure. You know that the big director has always been picky when it comes to casting. It’s only because I’m too capable and have worked with him before that I can skip his audition segment.”
Tan Ming watched as Jiang Huai deliberately boasted about himself in front of her to make her calm down. Slowly, she relaxed again. “Third Brother, I understand what you mean. It’s known in the industry that anything Director Dong produces will definitely be top-notch. Such a director will definitely have many capable people participating in the audition. It would be best if I can be chosen, but it doesn’t mean anything if I can’t. It’s fine as long as I do my best.” Seeing that Tan Ming had thought it through, Jiang Huai slapped his thigh happily. “That’s right! You’ve been going to class crazily recently, Dad and Mom shoot daggers with their eyes when they look at me. If this makes you have another nervous breakdown, I think that dagger will become real.”
Tan Ming chuckled. “Third Brother, actually, I know what you’re saying. Being too nervous sometimes affects your performance. The more calm you are, the better your performance. It’s just that I really hope to achieve results as soon as I can, so I can’t help but feel a little anxious.”
Actually, Tan Ming was no longer a little anxious. It was so serious that it affected her breast milk. Now, the baby already had to rely on a combination of breast milk and milk powder. She would probably have to switch to feeding with purely milk powder after a while.
When Jiang Huai saw that Tan Ming’s expression had indeed relaxed, he nodded in relief. “With Third Brother around, you don’t have to be afraid that you won’t have a chance to film anything! At most, we’ll make a drama ourselves. When the time comes, I’ll get Dad and Mom to invest money and find a screenwriter to tailor a script for you. We’ll also make a big production and let everyone see our Miss Jiang’s strength!”
Less than ten minutes later, Cao Leng, who had gone out, returned. “Jiang Huai, An’an, you can follow me to the audition room now.”
After the conversation just now, Tan Ming felt that her state of mind was different. It was significantly better than before. She followed him into the room.
Jiang Huai greeted the director and producer in a low voice, chatted briefly, and then sat quietly on a chair in the corner.
Tan Ming looked at the five people sitting at the long table in front of her. She first bowed politely before starting to introduce herself.
After noting down basic information about Tan Ming, the middle-aged man wearing a cap smiled kindly and said, “Please begin your performance.”
Tan Ming lowered her head and began to search for the character she wanted to play. After about a minute, when Tan Ming looked up again, the gentleness and obedience in her eyes had completely disappeared. It was only filled with darkness and hatred for the world.
“Windward” was a mystery drama. The male lead, Shen Zheng, was a police officer. The third female lead, Shen Yi, was the male lead’s biological sister. She was a fourth-year student doing an internship. After her parents divorced, she lived with her mother and was accidentally involved in a murder case that the male lead was investigating.
The difficulty of Shen Yi’s character was that she had a dissociative identity disorder. The scene that Tan Ming needed to perform was the first time Shen Yi split into a second personality and then returned to her main personality.
The performance lasted about six minutes. After Tan Ming’s performance, the room was silent.
Tan Ming looked at everyone’s expressionless faces and swallowed nervously.
The suited man turned to look at the man in the cap. “Director Dong, what do you think?”
Director Dong came back to his senses. Every director had their own special habits, and his habit was that he did not like to use newcomers. When Jiang Huai asked him for an audition chance, he found out that Tan Ming was a newcomer. Although he was a little resistant in his heart, he could not reject him out of their cooperative relationship, so he agreed in the end..
