Chapter 57 Auditioning a Female Scientist
It goes without saying that there was no plan within China Central Television to invite Xiao Han, as it has only been less than a year since Xiao Han debuted and he has very few works to show for it.
However, one of the old men who likes to study the headlines on Weibo often comes across topics about Xiao Han.
Influenced by his granddaughter, he initially developed some favorable impressions of the young man Xiao Han, and was later recommended to him by his granddaughter.
I know that Xiao Han is an outstanding graduate of Shangjing University and is currently a visiting professor at Huaqing University. Not only that, he has saved people and filmed official promotional videos.
Although he has not produced many works since his debut, the old man asked people in the circle to ask several directors that Xiao Han had worked with.
They all praised this young man, saying that he acted with soul and was humble and polite.
When he heard that Zhongtai was going to make a movie about his grandmother's deeds, even though he was just one of the characters, he was ecstatic.
Of course, these are not the point. The point is that the old man saw Xiao Han’s photo.
He actually discovered that she looked somewhat similar to his deceased grandmother, so when Zhongtai was selecting suitable artists, he took the information he had collected about Xiao Han and went to Zhongtai.
After discussing with relevant personnel for several days and making up their minds, the central office solemnly sent an invitation letter to Universal Entertainment Company.
After Universal Entertainment received the invitation, the entire senior management was stunned. It’s no wonder that they were not calm, as it is really rare to participate in a Chinese TV production.
Wu Xinran knew that Xiao Han would take that step, but she never expected it to happen so soon. There are countless artists who want to enter the national TV station, but entering the national TV station requires more than just popularity.
For Wu Xinran, she had a plan to bring Xiao Han into the vision of the central station, but this matter is like you are still secretly trying to get into that person's car, but you didn't expect that your own artist had already run in without anyone noticing, and not only got in the car, but also drove away!
It was a complete surprise.
Cheng Xu was still immersed in the sadness of a broken heart, unable to extricate himself. Suddenly receiving this news, he felt so damn sad.
A girlfriend or something would only affect the speed at which he draws his sword. He wants to rush towards the peak of his career.
I was so happy that I didn't sleep the whole night and the smile on my face never stopped.
The next morning, he drove the luxury car he had snatched from Wu Xinran to the Xiao family.
When Xiao's parents found out about this, they were so enthusiastic that Cheng Xu could hardly bear it.
In their opinion, being able to act in a movie produced by China Television would make their ancestors’ graves smoke green smoke!
This is a blessing earned through eight lifetimes of cultivation.
If Xiao Han hadn't stopped him, Xiao's father would probably have invited everyone in the company to a big dinner to show that his daughter had joined the front office!
I still have to go for an audition for this, and I don’t know if I can succeed!
So Xiao Han was surprisingly calm. Under the gaze of several pairs of sparkling eyes, Xiao Han slowly opened the invitation letter.
It's simply messing with people's mentality, and some people are so anxious that they want to replace him.
This invitation letter is very formal, which shows how much importance China and Taiwan attach to this film.
This was the first time that Xiao Han had the feeling of being handed a postcard in modern society. When it comes to traditional etiquette, the people in Zhongtai are very good at it.
The time and place were specified, but there was no hint about the script.
Is this a test of one's ability to respond on the spot?
Wu Xueer mentioned this matter just a month ago. They didn't take it seriously at the time. Unexpectedly, a month later, Xiao Han still hadn't taken the initiative to contact the middle office.
There will be an invitation letter and an audition opportunity. Ultimately, if there are no special circumstances, the basic role will be decided!
Xiao Han had never really thought about this in her heart, so the appearance of this invitation letter really gave her a surprise.
Now that the opportunity is right in front of me, wouldn’t it be a disappointment to everyone if I don’t get the role?
Xiao Han looked at the group of people with a smile on his face, they were so excited that they couldn't wait to go out and post notices.
She picked up the invitation and went back to her room.
Now that you know who you are auditioning for, you need to know yourself as well as your opponent.
We must all be familiar with people like Qian Xuesen and Deng Jiaxian, and we all know that they have made indispensable contributions to the construction of national projects.
However, few people know which other scientists have contributed their own efforts to the research.
During the research and development process of that year, the research team consisted of dozens of people, among whom was a female scientist who made an indispensable contribution. She remained anonymous for 30 years. Her name was Wang Chenshu.
She devoted her entire life to the construction of Xia State and was a very important physicist in the early development of Xia State. The formulas she developed are still in use today.
In her previous life, Xiao Han was a woman standing at the top of the Han Kingdom, so naturally her vision was extraordinary.
In this life, I was a medical student in the clinical department. Although I don’t know much about history, it is easy for me to find information about researchers of Mr. Qian Xuesen’s generation.
She then read a large amount of literature, film and television materials about Wang Chenshu.
From the perspective of personal interests, Wang Chenshu will have more room for development and a better life if he stays in the United States.
But she chose another more difficult path, giving up all the favorable conditions given to her by the United States and choosing to return to her country and start from scratch.
After truly understanding the deeds of Mr. Wang Chenshu, Xiao Han admired her from the bottom of his heart. As a woman, Wang Chenshu was at the forefront of history and became a well-deserved hero.
Her husband in her previous life was a hero, and she knew how difficult it was for a woman to do something well in that era.
In order to make her temperament more like Mr. Wang Chenshu, Xiao Han asked Cheng Xu to buy her a pair of gold-rimmed glasses without prescription, which were the glasses commonly used by Mr. Wang Chenshu.
This was the first time she took a role so seriously, not only because they were both women, but also because Xiao Han knew that anyone who made such a contribution was worthy of admiration.
She saw the same thing in Mr. Wang Chenshu.
Perseverance.
In her previous life, she put in so much effort to get rid of her status as a concubine's daughter and to live freely.
She did all these by gritting her teeth and walking on her knees step by step.
Mr. Wang Chenshu was born into a wealthy family and had excellent grades in mathematics. After studying abroad, he resisted the numerous temptations from the United States and resolutely returned to China to struggle in that difficult environment. This is what Xiao Han truly admires about him.
She really didn't want to mess up the role.
There were ten auditioners in the audition room at the central stage. It was not that they were deliberately making things difficult or trying to show off their power, but the role of Mr. Wang Chenshu was also very important.
There is no room for carelessness.
"Director Zhang, Mr. Wang Chenshu's role is not easy to play. Those with the right looks and temperament are fine, but those with the right temperament and looks don't have good acting skills. The actor yesterday was barely okay. His acting and looks were passable, but he lacked temperament and was a few years older."
After several days of searching without finding a suitable actor, Director Wang was a little discouraged. He took a sip of tea from his teacup.
"The filming will start in half a month, and we have to finalize the role."
Everyone present here, whether director or assistant director, is one of the top directors in Xia Country’s entertainment industry.
In order to make this movie well, there are ten directors in the center, including four directors and six assistant directors.
The more attention the superiors pay, the more nervous the people below become.
If you mess up, not only will it be difficult to explain, but you will also lose face.
Director Zhang is the most experienced director in the entire team, so everyone follows him.
He sighed and said slowly:
"Didn't they say that the people who came today were recommended by Mr. Zhang?"
Mr. Zhang is one of the consultants of this film, and his other identity is Wang Chenshu’s grandson.
Everyone had high expectations for the artists recommended by him.
Upon hearing this, Director Wang put down his teacup and looked through the documents.
"Yes, this is a popular young artist named Xiao Han."
His expression was a little subtle.
"Let's take a look first!"
Director Zhang thought about it for a moment, nodded, and said nothing more.
Since it was recommended by Mr. Zhang, it must have its merits.
Soon, they saw the actress named Xiao Han, who was wearing a fitted light-colored cheongsam, with short hair that made her look student-like and neat, and the glasses on her nose made her look a little more delicate.
When Mr. Wang Chenshu was young, he was frail, so Xiao Han's dress was very suitable for him.
At first glance, everyone thought that Mr. Wang Chenshu was standing in front of them with a smile on his face.
Director Zhang was distracted for a moment before he said, "Please start your performance!"
