Chapter 806 The Fight For The Role
"Of course your acting is good." Edgar smiled. "Among all the actresses who auditioned today, other than this one who can match you, there is no one as good as you."
This person!
What Shen Xieren couldn't stand the most was other people comparing her to Qin Yu.
In her heart, her acting skills far surpassed Qin Yu's!
"Edgar, then tell me, which one of us has the better acting skills?"
Edgar thought about it seriously, not wanting to offend anyone. He said wisely, "You and her both have your own advantages. You are two different types."
"You are so annoying!" Shen Xieren snorted coquettishly, which made Edgar laugh.
Fan Xiaobo always disliked Shen Xieren's way of doing things. This was also the reason why she wanted to treat him to a meal when they were in the United States.
He feared that if he ate with Shen Xieren and then some scandal broke out, how would he explain this to his wife and daughter when he returned home?
"Alright, the audition isn't over yet." Fan Xiaobo said in a neutral tone. "Qin Yu, show us the moves that the martial arts director has taught you."
The words Shen Xieren and Edgar had spoken earlier were all in English, but Qin Yu could understand them all. If other people had seen how the two of them interacted, one would definitely feel a bit discouraged and think that the female lead belonged to Shen Xieren.
But Qin Yu liked to defy the odds and challenge the impossible.
Qin Yu also knew that Shen Xieren's reason for doing this was to affect her mood and prevent her from using her full strength.
Qin Yu wasn't stupid. Of course, she would not let Shen Xieren affect her.
She perfectly executed what the martial arts director had taught in front of Fan Xiaobo and Edgar.
The moment she made the final move, Fan Xiaobo couldn't help but clap his hands. "Qin Yu, your martial arts skill is too good! I thought no female celebrity could do such a thing. I didn't think you could pull it off so easily. Well done!"
The martial arts director who'd followed Qin Yu inside also spoke for her. "You're right, Director Fan. Qin Yu is doing well. Besides, after watching me demonstrate twice, she was able to completely memorize all the movements. And after practicing it a few times, her movements already have the same effect as mine. I'm very satisfied with her."
Shen Xieren gritted her teeth in anger. She felt that this martial arts director was here to make things difficult for her!
What's even sadder was that Fan Xiaobo seemed to be very satisfied with Qin Yu. This made her very unhappy.
Fan Xiaobo turned to Edgar. "What do you think?"
Edgar also admired Qin Yu. "I think she's quite good. She's very suitable for the role."
"Edgar!" Shen Xieren said anxiously, "I haven't learned this move. If you let me learn it, I can do it too! It doesn't make sense for you to let her do all the difficult movements and not me. You can't say right away that I can't do it."
Edgar thought about it seriously and thought it made sense.
Fan Xiaobo didn't think so.
"Shen Xieren, I saw your acting skills and contacted your boss before. They said your acting skills weren't bad, but your martial arts style was lacking. And in my movie, it doesn't matter for a male or female, I won't use a stunt double. You definitely can't do that!"
"I don't need a stunt double either!" In order to squeeze Qin Yu out, to defeat her, Shen Xieren insisted, "Director Fan, as long as you allow me to play the female lead, I can promise you that I don't need a stunt double. I will do everything myself!"
It wasn't that Fan Xiaobo didn't believe Shen Xieren's words, but he felt that her movements were a bit stiff and the results weren't as good as Qin Yu's. Even without a stunt double, Shen Xieren was not as good as Qin Yu in this regard.
"Shen Xieren, don't say anything more. I have already made up my mind on this matter!"
"Edgar!" Shen Xieren knew she couldn't persuade Fan Xiaobo, so she turned to Edgar. "Think about it, what is the company's goal in investing in this movie? It is to conquer the market! This is an international movie and Qin Yu definitely cannot compete with me in terms of international influence. If you let me do it, I can at least guarantee the markets in Europe and America, but can Qin Yu guarantee it?"
Edgar nodded, "You are right. Although the female lead was chosen by this side, the market for our movie is mainly in Europe and the United States. Of course, the box office results in the AsiPacific region are also very important."
"No problem!" Shen Xieren said anxiously, "I have been back for a while and participated in several programs. I have already gained some popularity. I can also help in Asia and the Pacific. Therefore, I am the most suitable candidate for you!"
Edgar nodded. He was very pleased with Shen Xieren.
In any case, Shen Xieren had a base abroad, while Qin Yu's influence abroad was almost nonexistent.
The comparison between the two of them made him even more satisfied with Shen Xieren.
"Director Fan, it is not up to you to decide this matter alone. I am the representative of the company and have the right to decide who will be the female lead!"
Edgar spoke on behalf of Shen Xieren to Fan Xiaobo. "The quality of the movie is one thing, but the box office is another. There's no reason why we should not take in more money after investing a lot. Everything should be based on the market. Besides, I think Xieren is qualified in both acting and martial arts."
Qin Yu, who hadn't said anything, finally couldn't help but open her mouth and speak in fluent English. "Shen Xieren is great, and her performances so far have made her a figure in the hearts of the audience. But if the same actress stars in a movie of the same nature, the movie's reputation will not rise unless there is too much success. Even if I cannot perform to the extreme, as long as I act normally, I will be able to make the audience's eyes shine, and my reputation will rise. As long as I am up, the box office will not be a problem."
Fan Xiaobo nodded in agreement. He began to admire Qin Yu more and more. "Yes, that's exactly what I mean! A new face is a shock to a mature market, not to mention that Qin Yu's influence in the AsiPacific region is much greater than Shen Xieren's. Box office results in the AsiPacific region are very important, so I think Qin Yu is more suitable."
"That's not for you to decide!" Shen Xieren said calmly, "My company has discussed this matter with another party. If you want us to invest in this movie, choose me. My company holds me in high esteem and believes that my influence in the AsiPacific region and the US is very great. Otherwise, you would not even have a source of income! Director Fan, I can assure you that the best director award is within your reach if you choose me."
Edgar slapped the table and said with a serious expression, "I am the company's representative. I have decided that we will choose Shen Xieren for the female lead in this movie!"
Fan Xiaobo was also angry and stood up to argue with Edgar. "I am the director! The work is mine, and I have the final decision! If you want to give Shen Xieren the female lead, then direct the movie yourself! I am not going to direct this movie!"
The situation was now very awkward.
Fan Xiaobo and Edgar had already started fighting with each other about Qin Yu and Shen Xieren. Each had their own reasons. Fan Xiaobo even threatened Edgar.
Edgar was furious and immediately pulled out his phone. "Fine, if you don't want to do it, then don't! There are many directors who would take this job. I'm going to call the company now to replace you!"
Qin Yu felt very sorry and advised, "Director Fan, that's enough. I will take a step back. You will stay behind. You must have worked so hard to make this movie, so you can not give up just because of me."
Just as Fan Xiaobo was about to say something, the door was kicked open from the outside.
Everyone looked towards the door, and when Shen Xieren saw who it was, she exclaimed in surprise, "Jiahao, why are you here?!"
