Chapter 460 - 457: Best Actress 24
Jin An reached out and tapped the script on the table: "This script’s director, Li Bo’an, specializes in art and ethics films, and has a significant reputation in the industry. Moreover, these films that primarily explore human nature have always had a perversely high demand for acting skills, but it’s very difficult for them to be box office hits."
Jin An turned a few pages of the script and continued: "Although the box office is destined to be bleak, such films are more likely to win awards and make actors famous. For you, that’s just right. Earning money is secondary now; breaking free from the shackles of the character Qin Shuangshuang should be your immediate priority."
Actually, Jin An didn’t need to say much; Ning Shuangshuang had her eyes on this role for the same reason.
Even though she is very short of money now, fame and fans are more important than money. With fame, dedicated fans will naturally bring money. If she doesn’t break through with different roles and gets stifled by the character Qin Shuangshuang, her career route will be over.
After finalizing the role, the next step is to face the audition. If it were for the previous two roles Ning Shuangshuang wanted to play, thanks to her fame and Jin An’s skills, she could easily secure the desired role, but this script is different.
With the director of the third script, Li Bo’an aiming for awards, the criteria for casting actors are naturally extremely strict. Yet, precisely because of this, if Ning Shuangshuang gets selected, it’s a golden opportunity to prove her acting skills, broaden her career, and boost her fame.
Not only Ning Shuangshuang but many established veteran actors are eyeing this opportunity. After Li Bo’an started the audition process, a large number of already famous stars competed for a chance to audition.
Speaking of which, Ning Shuangshuang knows the maverick director Zheng Mingjing and the eccentric director Fang Jian are both very strict with filming. But according to Jin An, this director Li Bo’an is even stricter to the point of harshness.
When Li Bo’an is filming, he wishes even the angle at which a leaf falls is perfectly designed, let alone his expectations for the actors’ performances.
This time, Li Bo’an’s requirements for the role are even more extreme because he is determined to find a truly young actor for this film, which makes things complicated, as young actors with good acting skills are typically only child stars.
