Chapter 443 - 440: Movie Queen 7
However, this was just an illusion because as soon as Zheng Mingjing called over, all the emotions on Ning Shuangshuang’s face quickly faded away, leaving no trace of the previous fervor or the calmness she had forced herself to exhibit.
The part this time was very short, plus Ning Shuangshuang’s unexpectedly good acting skills, which made Zheng Mingjing believe it would take at least half a day of shooting. However, it was done in just one take, taking only about ten minutes!
Because Ning Shuangshuang’s performance was so good in this scene, Zheng Mingjing was delighted and, apart from the previously agreed fee, gave her a big red envelope, rounding it up to ten thousand yuan! This amount of money startled Ning Shuangshuang.
Ning Shuangshuang remembered that in her past life, Zheng Mingjing was also very satisfied with her in this scene, and after the shooting, he gave her a red envelope too, but it was only five thousand yuan. Who would have thought it was ten thousand this time? It seemed that Zheng Mingjing was more satisfied with her performance now than in her previous life.
This was also evident when Ning Shuangshuang was about to leave, as Zheng Mingjing directly handed her a note with an address, telling her to audition for his director friend’s crew!
This was an internal casting audition, and those who received the audition notice were veteran actors with guaranteed skills. Even if they were new actors, they were recommendations of actors with talent for acting amongst friends. For instance, Ning Shuangshuang, who was introduced by Zheng Mingjing at the moment.
This was something that had never happened in her previous life. In Ning Shuangshuang’s previous life, it was only after she had acted in two more of Zheng Mingjing’s plays that he started to take notice of her acting skills and introduced her to roles, slowly becoming friends with her.
In this life, Zheng Mingjing had already started introducing roles to Ning Shuangshuang this early, which showed how much he appreciated her acting skills.
Filled with excitement, Ning Shuangshuang thanked Zheng Mingjing profusely and then hurried back to her rented small apartment to pack her luggage and book a flight online! Why was she booking a flight? Because the director of this play was holding auditions in H City, which had the largest film city in the country!
The director Zheng Mingjing introduced to Ning Shuangshuang was someone she knew as well and was very good friends with Zheng Mingjing, and also a friend of Ning Shuangshuang’s previous life. He was known as the eccentric director Fang Jian.
