Chapter 135: cursive
Chapter 135 Cursive Writing
“Good morning, all of you. Please sign here and report.”
At the entrance of the theater, the hostess wearing a light blue Guangzhou embroidered dress handed over a clean brush with both hands.
Tong Yue stood beside Jiang Lingxi, looking at the signature board in front of her and couldn't help but twitching her lips.
This was the first time she had seen signing with a writing brush.
So, they haven’t even entered yet, has the first level of the audition begun?
Looking at the signature board, there are already a lot of names signed. In the past, everyone went to the red carpet to participate in events and signed autographs for fans in one go. What they wanted was for you to not be able to recognize what they were signing. But this time, everyone’s She recognized everyone's names.
It's just that most of them are written like primary school students practicing calligraphy. Although the strokes are one stroke, they are also crooked. Only a few of them are OK. It can be seen at a glance that they have some calligraphy skills and they look quite comfortable.
In comparison, the gap is quite large.
Tong Yue feels that after what Director Wei has done, there will be many more people in the circle who will start practicing calligraphy hard.
Thinking that her artist had never written calligraphy before, she looked at Jiang Lingxi who had already dipped in ink, "Let's not be in a hurry and write slowly. We don't strive to look good, but strive to..."
Before he could say the word 'neatly', the tip of the brush in Jiang Lingxi's hand had already landed on the blank space of the signature pad.
With a slight turn of the wrist, the three words "Jiang Lingxi" were completed in one go.
Tong Yue opened her mouth and looked at the slightly messy but smooth handwriting, "Is this cursive script?"
If she hadn't seen it written by her own artist, she really wouldn't be able to read these three words.
Jiang Lingxi returned the brush to the etiquette lady, nodded and gave a slight hum.
The director came up with the idea of asking the actors who came to the audition to sign their names in calligraphy. It was definitely not out of the question. It should have been meant to test the actor's calligraphy skills and style.
After all, the costume historical drama to be filmed will definitely involve writing with a brush.
Since the test has begun now, there is no need to hide one's weakness.
In her previous life, her favorite calligraphy was the freehand cursive calligraphy. Perhaps it was because the less she got something, the more she longed for it.
The emperor is sitting in the world, and the burden on his shoulders is too heavy, but he has no freedom.
Since it was not a word like Pizhezi that the courtiers could read clearly, she naturally had to use the cursive script that Emperor Yuan Zhao liked most.
The etiquette lady took the writing brush and handed over a folded booklet, "The specific process of the audition is here, please read it yourself. You three, please come in and rest as you like."
Jiang Lingxi thanked her after taking it, and led Tong Yue and Lu Zhengzheng into the theater along with the flow of people in front.
There are already many people sitting in twos and threes in the brightly lit space, and those good-looking faces make people feel relaxed and happy at a glance.
But he was also very quiet, mostly looking at the booklet in his hand carefully.
Tong Yue quickly found a few empty seats. After sitting down, she couldn't wait to urge Jiang Lingxi, "Look at what's written in the brochure. The audition process this time is probably all here."
Jiang Lingxi opened the booklet as instructed, and two heads quickly came over from both sides.
【You are the fifty-sixth auditionee. 】
After reading the first sentence, Tong Yue hissed softly, "This has reached fifty-six! Keep reading and keep reading."
【Please select the character you want to audition from the following script roles before Si Shi (the start of the audition). Each person only has two opportunities to choose, so please choose carefully based on yourself. 】
Lu Zhengzheng: “What time is it?”
Tong Yue breathed a sigh of relief: “If you can choose two roles, that’s great. That’s great.”
“It’s nine o’clock in the morning,” Jiang Lingxi finished answering Lu Zhengzheng’s question and continued reading. Most of the remaining paper was filled with characters from the script.
The first one, not surprisingly, is ‘Emperor Yuan Zhao: Jiang Yuan Zhao’.
The second place is Wei Fuying. What makes her a little surprised is that "Princess Jin'an: Jiang Ling'an", who should not have many roles in the play, ranks fourth among female characters, remaining in the top five. This is considered the main role.
I don’t know who can act!
Looking at the male character on the right, ‘Prime Minister: Shen Moqing’ was ranked first, and she was not surprised. She did not look at the subsequent characters, but looked up at the male actors who had already entered the scene.
Who can play her Shen Qing?
To be honest, she felt that everyone was a little inadequate!
But choosing actors is a matter for directors and producers, so even if she has any opinions, it's useless.
I just hope I can find one that is more or less consistent.
Tong Yue handed over a pen. Jiang Lingxi recovered her thoughts and first drew a circle behind Jiang Yuanzhao's name. After a pause, she drew a smaller circle behind Wei Fuying's name.
Tong Yue originally wanted to check the box, but seeing that she had finished drawing, she had to swallow her words.
【After signing, please submit this note to the reception desk in the waiting hall for verification, and wait patiently after receiving the audition number plate. 】
Tong Yue stood up and looked around, then found the eye-catching reception desk, "I'll go hand it in with you."
Lu Zhengzheng saw the tea table on the other side, "Then I'll go get some water and bring it back."
The soldiers were divided into two groups. Jiang Lingxi and Tong Yue lined up and walked to the staff responsible for verification and handed over the posts.
The other party took it with both hands, opened it and saw the character selected above, and was subconsciously stunned.
Then he looked up at Jiang Lingxi and asked, "Teacher Jiang, are you sure you want to audition for these two roles?"
She actually wanted to ask the first one, but seeing that there were people lining up behind her, she had to ask both of them together.
Jiang Lingxi nodded towards her, "OK."
“Well, here is your audition number. The staff will remind you three times. If you miss it, you will have no chance to audition.”
"Thank you for reminding."
In the past, I saw other people pin it on their body after receiving the audition number plate. After Jiang Lingxi got it, she also pinned it on her body.
But when he turned around and let Tong Yue see it, he asked, "Why is your number plate different from others?"
Jiang Lingxi took it and discovered, "It may be a number plate that is divided according to the selected role."
“It is indeed possible.”
Unexpectedly, when she turned to leave, the staff member also breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that the number plate representing the leading female role would not be used, but he did not expect that someone would be so stubborn and chose to audition for the leading female role. Fortunately, she brought it over.
Then he took out his mobile phone and sent a message to the crew's work group: "Someone has chosen the audition heroine."
But before she could read the reply, she saw someone coming over again, so she had to put down her phone and continue working.

Outside the theater.
Not long after Jiang Lingxi and others entered.
Jiang Xiyu arrived belatedly with Jiang Yuting and Xiao Tao.
When Jiang Xiyu learned that he needed to sign with a writing brush, a smile appeared on his lips.
Looking at the mixed names written on the signature board, she confidently signed her name in her best calligraphy.
When returning the brush, she glanced ahead again. She didn't see Jiang Lingxi's name. Instead, she saw a majestic cursive calligraphy. Although she couldn't understand it, she had worked hard for several years to create a character of a talented woman. In calligraphy, you can still tell whether the writing is good or not.
The ink is still wet, so the senior who wrote it must have entered it not long ago.
Subconsciously, I asked, "Who wrote this?"
Miss etiquette looked in the direction of her finger. She still had an impression, not only because of the writing, but also because of the person who wrote it. She could not forget the two sides of it. She smiled and replied: "It's Teacher Jiang Lingxi."
“Click!” Jiang Xiyu heard the sound of the smile mask on his face breaking.
