I was reborn after my cousin stole my life.

Chapter 260: Ms. An Hui's Acting Career

The next day, Yuan Xiu and Jiang Zhou finally learned what An Hui had come here for.

"Filming a TV series? You?" Jiang Zhou looked at his own mother. How did she, a staff member of the Cultural Palace, end up filming a TV series?

An Hui rolled her eyes at him: "Please turn your question into an affirmative one. What do you mean by 'you'? Is it strange that I'm making TV dramas? Your mother has talent, looks, and a good figure. I'm incredibly photogenic, so why can't I make TV dramas? I can do more than just make dramas. I came here with the film studio colleagues to select actors from various arts and culture organizations."

After saying that, he added, "During my years at the Cultural Palace, I organized a lot of artistic creation and performances, and the achievements are obvious to all. This time, the film studio is preparing to produce a large-scale period drama, and they thought of me. I have now been seconded to the film studio."

Yuan Xiu naturally had to praise it: "Mom's TV series is sure to be good. I will definitely watch every episode after it is released. I can't wait."

My mother-in-law is very generous. She has spent a lot of money on our little family over the years and has never been stingy with her daughter-in-law. As a daughter-in-law, I have always received but never given anything back to my mother-in-law. Now that I have the opportunity to show my appreciation, I should give her the emotional support she deserves.

Yuan Xiu's words pleased An Hui. "You're so thoughtful, unlike that kid Jiang Zhou."

What kid?

Where is the boy now?

How old is he?

Jiang Zhou sighed helplessly, "I'm just worried you'll get tired. You've never acted before, and if you don't do well, you'll suffer. With your personality, what are you going to do?"

"Don't look down on me!" An Hui said, "I couldn't tell you this before, but it's different now. I have nothing to hide anymore. Back in the day, I also acted in movies!"

Ok?

then?

That year?

Yuan Xiu and Jiang Zhou exchanged a glance and asked in unison, "When?"

"When else could it be? Of course, it was before the founding of the People's Republic of China. But it was never broadcast. The film company ran away before it was even finished filming, and filming was suspended. Not many people know about this. Your Aunt Gu, Aunt Zhao, and Uncle Chen know. Others who know about it have long since disappeared."

Aunt Zhao nodded in agreement. "Your mother was incredibly beautiful when she was young. Many film companies wanted to cast her in movies, but your grandfather disagreed. He thought that being an actress was an insult to the family."

An Hui snorted coldly: "It's not an insult to the family name that the family business has been ruined, but it's an insult to the family name that I'm becoming an actress."

After saying that, she smiled and said, "Times have changed. It's a good thing that the family business has failed. I made movies without his knowledge. I was thinking of redeeming the family's belongings after I became a movie star, so that he wouldn't nag me every day. Luckily, it didn't work out."

Yes, thankfully it didn't happen.

An Hui left early and returned late every day, staying at home at night and going into the city during the day to meet up with her colleagues from the film studio.

The casting call was held at the Cultural Palace in the city center, and those invited to the interviews included all artists from local arts departments, arts colleges, and military arts troupes.

When the hospital was on holiday, Yuan Xiu went with An Hui to the interview once. There were a lot of people, the men were handsome and the women were beautiful, there were hardly any unattractive ones.

This is just the preliminary selection. I heard that those selected will have to participate in unified training and learning.

It was this visit that allowed Yuan Xiu to find out which TV series it was. There was indeed such a TV series in her previous life. It was very popular after it was produced, and almost every household watched it. Even Yuan Xiu watched it several times, on and off.

She can't remember which actress in the film was her mother-in-law now, after all these years, she has never watched the whole thing, and the actors were all wearing makeup.

However, they are definitely not the male or female leads.

Yuan Xiu also spotted Sun Ying's "potential candidate" among the interviewees.

The candidate's surname is He, full name is He Xu, and he is going to audition for the male lead role.

Yuan Xiu was deeply impressed by the male lead in the TV series from her previous life, but it wasn't him.

However, even though he was selected, he may be eliminated later, or he may be assigned to another role after another interview.

After all, there are more than 700 named characters in this TV series.

Sun Ying really wanted He Xu to be selected.

"This is also a matter of seniority. If you perform well, you might get a leadership position in the dance team this year."

Sun Ying knew that Yuan Xiu's mother-in-law was one of the people who came to select actors. She did not use her relationship with Yuan Xiu to get in through "back channels," but other people from the art troupe did come to her.

"I thought it was a neighbor coming over for a visit, but when I opened the door, it was two young and pretty women carrying things. I didn't dare accept them, so I had them take them back."

Aunt Zhao didn't dare let anyone into the house, afraid that things wouldn't go smoothly.

Several groups of people arrived one after another, but Aunt Zhao turned them all away.

An Hui had quite a few chance encounters in the compound. She listened attentively to those who volunteered normally, and she also watched carefully those who wanted to perform on the spot. But anything else was considered unethical and would get them removed from the list.

Even Yuan Xiu was 'harassed'.

Someone wanted to get her to say a few good words for them.

Now Hao Jia knew that Yuan Xiu's mother-in-law was one of the people sent by the film studio to select actors.

"Isn't your mother-in-law from the Cultural Palace?" Hao Jia still remembered.

"He's been temporarily transferred."

Knowing that Ms. An Hui would also be participating in the filming of the TV series, Hao Jia had an expression that said, "I knew it."

"I knew it! Your mother-in-law has the air of an actress! The first time I saw her, I thought she looked like a movie actress! I'll definitely watch the film carefully once she's done shooting!"

Ms. An Hui's first "fan" appeared.
