Chapter 148 The Heirs 6
Zhu Yue took out three scripts from her schoolbag. In terms of the amount of scenes, the one Jim mentioned about working with the child star was the shortest, with only two short scenes.
The two childhood sweethearts grew up together. The boy had always had a crush on the girl. When he was about to confess his love to her, he heard the news that the girl was going to study abroad, so he gave up sadly.
The second act is about the girl's plane crashing and her death on the spot. The boy recalls the last time he saw the girl and cries when he thinks of the confession he can never say again.
In the script, she only played the hero's first love who died early.
The reason why KM company attaches so much importance to this role is not only because of the child star, but more importantly, the script is a movie, and the male and female protagonists are both big names in the circle. If Zhu Yue is really successful in the audition, then she will enter this circle with movies as the starting point, which will naturally be a higher level than participating in TV dramas, and the resources she will be able to access in the future will also be of better quality.
Zhu Yue has always known the invisible contempt chain in the entertainment industry. No matter which country they are in, those who make movies are greater than those who make TV dramas and idol singers. No matter what people outside the circle think or whether they approve of it, with the same popularity, movie actors will have a higher status than TV actors. This is the consensus of people in the circle.
"If I accept this one," Zhu Yue said, "I won't be able to accept the other two scripts. Regardless of the script for the guest appearance in the movie, I can take both."
Jim said without hesitation: "You are stupid, how can those two compare with this book."
"If the actresses of the same age who auditioned before were not suitable for Yu Ziran, do you think there would be such a good thing as fair competition in auditions for a movie of this level?" Jim said, "It's really pie in the sky that this role has not been chosen by someone else. You will definitely get it if you go."
Jim meant what he said sincerely. In the past six months since signing with the company, Zhu Yue has taken acting classes after school and during holidays as arranged by the company. Almost every acting teacher would praise Zhu Yue as a genius. The company was skeptical at first, but later believed it after watching the class videos. Because of their confidence in Zhu Yue, they arranged scripts and auditions for her. Normally, she would have to study for at least a year, while the male actors who were signed with her were still studying, and the graduation required by the teachers was nowhere in sight.
"What are you still hesitating about?" Jim said, "Tell me, I really don't understand why you are so calm."
"You know my school," Zhu Yue said, "If I take too many days off, I might not get my scholarship."
The school has determined that she has no future goals, and Zhu Yue no longer has the mindset to follow a routine. The courses she is studying are not difficult at all, and taking leave to go out and film will not affect her grades.
"We've also considered the company you mentioned," Jim comforted her. "You may not know this, but KM's major shareholder is also one of the directors of Empire High. We can arrange your matter by submitting a report. Don't worry about the scholarship."
Zhu Yue acted relieved and said gratefully: "Thank you, brother. I will definitely maintain my grades and the scholarship will not be in vain."
Jim didn't take the money seriously. He pointed at the script and said, "If you really want to repay me, you must seize this rare opportunity."
Zhu Yue nodded obediently.

About three days later, Zhu Yue received an audition notice and was given a time and place. Of course, the person who would accompany her to the audition would not be Jim, the senior executive, but only the assistant who would be in charge of her temporarily.
The assistant told her the requirements for the audition role.
Even Zhu Yue couldn't help but feel a little nervous at this time. Although she was very familiar with some of the rules and procedures in the entertainment industry, this was not a similar environment after all. She knew deeply that if she failed the audition, her treatment and resources in KM company would be downgraded by at least one level.
This means that if she fails, the time it takes her to complete her target task will be doubled.
No wonder the rate of psychological problems among those working in the entertainment industry is particularly high.
If you go to auditions with high hopes but fail a few times, it will be hard not to feel psychologically unbalanced.
Every failed audition means rejection and represents a blow to one's self-esteem.
The day before the audition, Zhu Yue went into the space specifically, drank a bottle of spiritual spring water, had a full body massage, went to bed early at night, and calculated the time.
The next morning, she showed up at the entrance of KM Entertainment in an absolutely full spirit. Her assistant took her to the film and television city and reported her ID card and the other party's phone number.
After checking, the front desk staff gave her an access pass, and Zhu Yue entered the audition department with this pass.
The audition was held in a seven-story office building, which was quite spacious. She passed by many pretty girls and boys while walking, but no one paid special attention to Zhu Yue - pretty girls were too common in such places, and no matter how good her foundation was, Zhu Yue was just a little girl who had not fully grown up. Compared with those pretty girls who were at their best age, she was too immature.
When Zhu Yue walked into audition office No. 5, she was slightly stunned. There were at least twenty girls of her age here, all with pretty features.
Fortunately, at least in the battlefield among peers, Zhu Yue is the best one.
The audition place was arranged like a hospital, with a spacious waiting area outside. Zhu Yue thought this scene was somewhat like the waiting room of a plastic surgery hospital. She was secretly shocked by the number of auditioners. They were just cameo roles with very small screen time, and would not appear in the movie for more than fifteen minutes, but there were more than twenty competitors. Although most of them were of delicate looks and not very beautiful, the level of competition was far beyond her expectations.
She walked to the door of the audition office, registered her name and information at the secretariat at the door, received a serial number, and then found a corner to sit down and read the audition script.
She had no interest in talking to other people who were auditioning. All the girls who came here to audition were her competitors. They were all unknown people who were eager to become famous, not quasi-successful people who had already made it and found their place. It was a waste of time and energy to socialize with them.
Before, Zhu Yue already knew that she would be playing the role of the first love of the male protagonist in the movie. This role does not have much depth, but she is pure and beautiful. The correct solution is to have enough chemistry with the actor who plays the male protagonist's teenage years.
This kind of role looks simple, but it is actually not easy to find a suitable role. If the existence of the first love is not convincing enough, then the male protagonist who is still obsessed with the past after growing up and does not immediately like a beauty like the heroine will seem to have flaws in his character. People will question the male protagonist's vision and do not think that this first love can compare with the heroine. The male protagonist who looks down on the heroine will also be considered to have a problem with his brain.
Therefore, this is also the reason why the crew could not find suitable candidates and were unwilling to settle, and had to hold public auditions.
