BXBX NOVEL Chapter 190 Red Light TV's Thriller Movie (1)
Although everyone was praising and was in disbelief when they saw her acting, Ran Xueyi knew it inside herself that she was still far from her peak in the past. It may look like she was perfectly able to act her character in a correct manner and satisfying way in the eyes of the directors, but Ran Xueyi was not satisfied with it.
The amount of empathetic feeling she was able to match with her character was about 60 percent. It might have been acceptable since the number of actors who can do this much in the country was very few. However, compared to the world standard in acting, this was far from enough.
That\'s right. Ran Xueyi wasn\'t planning to just aim for the country\'s standard of acting. She wanted the world to recognize her as an actress who could completely absorb any character no matter if it was just a passerby or a major character in a film.
The road to achieve this was treacherous and difficult, but Ran Xueyi was confident with herself that she would be able to achieve it if only she could act more characters in the future without limiting her vision.
Director Qing no longer kept the three actors to his side and let them go to their respective lounges to take a thirty-minute break before the next scene.
Back inside the lounge, which was a mini truck with a mini living room, mini sofa set, bed, small kitchen and changing room, Ran Xueyi saw Feng Huai inside the truck, looking at his tablet PC which he was holding in his hand.
Seeing her appear after finishing a scene, Feng Huai dropped the tablet in his hand and quickly handed a cup of milk tea to Ran Xueyi and helped her take off the outer layer of her costume.
"Where\'s Sister Zhao?" Ran Xueyi sat down and took a sip from the straw, feeling refreshed at the sweet and bitter taste of milk and tea.
Feng Huai hung the outer layer of her costume then said, "Sister Zhao went to Red Light TV. There was a new movie that was being discussed right now. She\'s planning to get you a spot in that movie."
Red Light TV was a giant Satellite TV in the country. The number of movies and dramas they produced was many and all of them achieved success in both gaining several box offices and fans.
Ran Xueyi also acted in some of their movies and was relatively acquainted with their style. Red Light TV is more interested in investing and producing films with serious themes, unlike < A Thousand Lotus > which was a revenge and light romance theme.
However, that was six years ago. Ran Xueyi hadn\'t been able to watch any films produced by Red Light TV so she was unclear if the TV station stayed true to their style or went along with the new trends of mainstream media themes.
"What movie is she aiming for?" Ran Xueyi asked Feng Huai.
Feng Huai drew his eyebrows and said what Zhao Fei told him earlier this morning. "A thriller movie. There aren\'t any leaks about the storyline, title, or script so Sister Zhao was unsure about it. She went there to find out."

Ran Xueyi raised her eyes to glance at him, surprise flashed in her eyes.
The month of October and November was getting closer. If her guess was right, Red Light TV was aiming for the Halloween Series Film Season, a much awaited and yearly grand film festival that every entertainment and TV station company was looking forward to participating in. Horror, Suspense, and Thriller themes were usually what were shown during these two months though there were a few romance-horror themes that were included in the line-up.
Feng Huai saw her deep in thought and was thinking that she might be worried that Zhao Fei wouldn\'t be able to get her a role in the film and said, "Sister Ran, don\'t worry about this. I\'m sure Sister Zhao will get you the main role!!"
Ran Xueyi wasn\'t worried about this, but still, she offered him a smile.
Red Light TV doesn\'t hand out roles easily to any actors or actresses. Unlike other TV stations, they were one of the few stations that pick the actors whom they think suited the roles. They don\'t need to do an audition screening nor let any investors make a call in the casting selection.
Ran Xueyi didn\'t have much hope to get the main characters of that movie. She knew herself that as someone who was inactive and doesn\'t have much new work experience to refer her current skill in acting, Red Light TV might not want to choose her. However, she still wanted to at least participate in that movie even if it was just a character that had a few scenes.
Inside her head, the gains outweigh the losses, and Red Light TV will surely challenge her skills in acting.
Ran Xueyi never aimed for fame or popularity, unlike many other stars, what she wanted was to enrich her world using acting.
As she was thinking of this, Feng Huai\'s phone rang. Feng Huai reached for it and answered the call when he saw the caller ID.
"Sister Zhao, how is it? Did you get the main role for Sister Ran?" Feng Huai didn\'t waste any words and went straight to the point.
There was a long pause between Feng Huai and Zhao Fei. In the end, Feng Huai\'s expression was dark as he looked a bit sad.
Ran Xueyi could already tell what happened. Zhao Fei was unable to get the role she wanted for Ran Xueyi. Well, it was already expected so Ran Xueyi wasn\'t that disheartened when she thought about it.
After he hung up on the call, Feng Huai weakly sat beside her and sighed deeply, looking a bit like a deflated balloon.
Ran Xueyi found him adorable and wanted to poke his cheeks.
"What did Sister Zhao say?" she asked.
Feng Huai heard her question and remained calm. "Sister Zhao didn\'t get the role... She\'s planning to return this evening. But she said that she\'ll look for another film for you to act in after." Then he started to grumble and complain, "Why are they being so picky? You worked with them in the past so they should already know that you\'re very capable!"
Ran Xueyi chuckled and replied, "In this circle, nobody cares about your past works. Red Light TV is also like that. What they want is someone or something that could max out the profits they will gain and at this moment, I don\'t think I will be able to add much if I were to play the main role."
Feng Huai didn\'t have anything to refute her words since Ran Xueyi already said this much.
And just when Ran Xueyi was going to tell him to let this matter rest and forget about it, he heard her continue speaking.
"However, I also think it is such a shame to waste this chance to play in that movie..." Ran Xueyi\'s lips raised up into a smile as she said, "Call Sister Zhao and ask if there are still other characters that are available for me to take. I\'ll take any role."
