From Villain to Cherished: Counter My Role by Pampering Kids
Chapter 79: The First Minor Protagonist
CHAPTER 79: CHAPTER 79: THE FIRST MINOR PROTAGONIST
The little girl called out to Wu Qian, her eyes fixed on the cakes in the hands of the three kids, drooling.
"Auntie, I want to eat too!"
Wu Qian: "Alright, auntie will buy you some, but later in front of those directors, you need to perform well and make them notice you."
"Auntie, I’ll do my best," the little girl said.
Then Wu Qian took her outside, and Qu Qiuxin, who had been following Wu Qian, also went out.
Su Xingwan found a place to sit with the three little ones and waited slowly.
Finally, it was their turn.
"Su Yan, Su Luo, and Su Hua, are you the three?" asked the staff sitting in the center of the hall, calling out names.
"That’s us!" Su Xingwan quickly led the three little ones to the front of the directors and judges.
The directors, upon seeing a set of triplets, were slightly surprised.
They glanced at their information, which showed that they had acted in several unreleased dramas and were recommended by both Director Li and Director Chen, instantly filling them with anticipation.
They had just auditioned a round of children, and only a few of the child actors were satisfactory, but they still didn’t meet their expectations.
"Before coming here, did you have them read the script?" the judges asked the adult of the triplets.
Su Xingwan: "Yes, they did."
"Alright, we need the children to perform a crying scene, there’s no specific requirement, see which one of them should go first?"
Su Xingwan looked at the three little ones, knowing that in terms of acting, Little Su Hua was the most capable.
Little Su Hua proactively said, "Auntie, I can do it, I’ll go first!"
The judges were seeing such a confident child for the first time. Cry scenes aren’t easy, especially for children, and often it requires external force or adult scolding to cry.
Su Xingwan smiled and said, "Alright, you go first then."
Saying this, she went up to help Little Su Hua take off her backpack.
Little Su Hua stood alone under the spotlight, her aunt off the stage, and her brothers not beside her. At this moment, she was a little scared.
The judges played some music for the little girl, and Little Su Hua’s emotions immediately kicked in. She sniffled, her eyes gradually turning red.
She wasn’t the type to wail when she couldn’t see her mother, but standing alone on stage, she looked so pitiful and helpless.
The judges seemed to see a war-torn scene, where the little girl was separated from her family, standing helplessly on the street, hoping for a kind uncle or aunt to save her.
However, the uncles and aunts were also busy escaping, and no one noticed the little girl stranded on the street, as the fleeing pedestrians passed by her without offering help.
Teardrops welled up in Little Su Hua’s eyes, then quietly fell.
At this moment, the spotlight on stage suddenly turned on with a "snap."
Everyone present looked in amazement at the little girl, not even four years old, who displayed astonishing acting talent.
The directors excitedly stood up: "We finally found the child actor we want, this is it!"
"Miss Su, is this child called Su Hua?"
"Yes."
"It’s her. We’ve decided to cast her as the lead child role, after we’re done here, bring her to sign a contract with us."
Everyone was amazed, after trying so many auditions, the directors had never made a decision so quickly for a role, especially for this little girl being the first.
Huang Yiliu looked at the little girl who hadn’t been noticed before. She was also an actress and had been struggling in the entertainment industry for many years with plenty of acting experience.
Judging Little Su Hua’s performance as an actress, the cry scene was better than those performed by adults, very natural, and touching.
In the entertainment industry, besides looks, if you want to succeed as an actor, acting skills are crucial, and often depend not on study and practice but on talent.
Truly a child of the Lu Family, even if they fall into the common world, a phoenix is still a phoenix, its brilliance cannot be hidden even if born in a chicken coop.
Huang Yiliu instantly felt that Meng Zhi and these children of the Lu Family were not comparable, feeling much more at ease.
Su Xingwan was surprised that the directors made a decision so quickly.
And the lead child role is?
She wasn’t very clear about the character relationships in this drama.
The directors’ gazes turned to the other two little boys.
If this pair of twins also satisfied them, they could play the twin sons of the male and female leads.
"Let them try too," they said.
The emotional crying scene that Little Su Hua performed wasn’t needed for the twins, but they still had the two little actors perform a crying scene.
The twins managed to cry, but it didn’t look as pitiful as the little girl.
However, they were still competent, as it’s unlikely for a family to have three children like Little Su Hua.
"How about this? Let you two perform a reunion scene," they suggested.
"Okay," the two brothers responded.
After the two performed, the directors were satisfied. The acting was good, but to avoid crushing the spirits of those still to audition, they gave the two brothers a tentative decision.
Those present saw that the directors didn’t make a quick decision like they did for the little girl, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, their family didn’t produce three acting geniuses.
But at the same time, they paid more attention, as the acting skills of the two little boys had actually surpassed many children.
It’s just that their sister’s performance was too good, making her brothers’ acting seem less outstanding.
As Su Xingwan led the three little ones off the stage, Zhang Qiaoqiao excitedly ran over, saying, "Su Xingwan, your Hua Bao is going to be famous!"
"Famous?"
Zhang Qiaoqiao: "You haven’t realized yet, are you so happy that you’re dumbstruck? Do you know what role Little Su Hua landed? The lead child role, with more scenes than even the male and female leads, more than double."
Su Xingwan was surprised, "That much?"
So her Little Su Hua was actually the main character in this drama.
Initially, her plan was just to let the three little ones play roles suitable for their size, without thinking much about the size of the roles, so she hadn’t read the entire script, just the parts they were to perform, but now it was all beyond her expectations.
"Otherwise? Do you know how many rounds of child actor auditions they held for this drama? Due to limited funding and wanting to produce quality work, they didn’t hire popular stars from the entertainment industry, nor did they hire capable big stars because their fees were too high, unaffordable. That’s why they held a province-wide audition here."
"And the lead child role in this drama, they have been searching for several months, without finding anyone satisfactory, and once your Hua Bao appeared, they made an immediate decision. Don’t you think Hua Bao is going to be famous!"
