With his photographic memory, Gu Huai went through the script and wrote down everything he needed to remember. On the morning before he went to the audition, he received another call from his agent.
"In 17 minutes, I will be downstairs." Jingzen was driving to Gu Huai's neighborhood. On Ping Chang Road, she dialed the telephone of her actor and told him the itinerary.
Being an agent was a job. Artists who couldn't break out generally had limited attention. However, Jingzen did not do so. She still diligently did everything at hand, and used the care level of a nanny to show concern for her artist whose reputation could no longer be restored.
Jingzen came today to personally take Gu Huai to the audition, and told him a few more words on the way.
Today's audition was about whether the company would still allocate resources to the other in the future, and also about whether the company would cancel their contract with him.
At the beginning, when the company asked her to choose a new person to take with her, Jingzen took the initiative to choose Gu Huai. Even today, she still believed that her vision was correct.
Not only because of his face, intuitively she was convinced that he had great potential for the future.
"The script should have been read, today's audition is important to you. As long as you try your best to overcome your tension caused by cameras, it will be easy to win this role under your conditions."
After picking up the man, Jingzen took the man to the location of the casting and whispered on the way, "You don't want that boy Fu Renzhou to have another chance to step on you, you have to strive for this relief, right?"
Fu Renzhou, the name made Gu Huai think about it, and it took a second to get the memory from the original body. It occurred to him that this man was an artist who signed a contract with him four years ago at the same time. And between him and the other, was revenge.
It was said before that due to the advantage of appearance, the original body enjoyed slightly more resources during the training period than other trainees, for example, giving the original body priority in playing a certain role.
On one occasion, the company originally recommended Fu Renzhou to a TV drama crew to play male lead No. 2, but then changed their minds and recommended Gu Huai. It was conceivable how resentful the former would be towards him.
Not the original initiative to take back the role, the fault should actually be regarded as the company's, but Fu Renzhou obviously did not think so.
At that time, although the original was given the chance to play male number two, his performance in front of the camera was too horrible to see. he looked as stiff as a dead man in front of the camera. This was what the director said after he ng-ed too many times.
Originally, the No. 2 male lead in the TV series had a bit of fans. In addition, Gu Huai had a face that could bring a favorable impression on the audience. In theory, he would have been able to accumulate some popularity through this work.
However, he was dragged by his excessively rigid acting. After the series was broadcasted, he did not gain any popularity, but also forced some of his fans to become passer-bys.
This TV series was the work of Gu Huai in his early years, and it had also become one of the biggest jokes in his acting history in recent years, even occasionally being talked about as a joke.
In the following four years, the original body's career had no improvement. On the contrary, Fu Renzhou had developed slowly over the past few years. Although he was not that popular, he could also give a certain feel of freshness.
After mixing up some fame, Fu Renzhou was better than him except for his face, but he also robbed Gu Huai of every role he auditioned for.
To this day, the former still enjoyed doing such things. Coincidentally, the other party was currently on the set of Gu Huai who was going to audition and had confirmed that he would play the role of the main male lead.
"Well, I'll try my best, thanks to Sister Zen." Gu Huai nodded and gave her a sincere smile.
Knowing that he was an actor in this world, Gu Huai soon confirmed his clearance values' direction to win the highest honor as an actor.
If he became famous, his family's ChuChu could easily find him. Although it was in order to complete the clearance task, inevitably Gu Huai was selfish.
He didn't know where his family and lover were now. Gu Huai sighed slightly while waiting for the audition. He also wanted to see his family soon...
"Why do you shrink in the corner and sigh, because you think you can't pass the audition, so are you mourning in advance?" A handsome young man walked up to Gu Huai, ignoring Jingzen's glaring eyes, and slightly smiled as he said this sentence.
Gu Huai was sitting on a bench. After listening to what the man said, he only slowly raised his eyes and glanced at him. There was no other response.
The two signed a contract to enter the entertainment industry at the same time. Even if Gu Huai just ignored him, the other could not say that he was not respecting his predecessors.
The man's thoughts were not difficult to understand, at least in Gu Huai's eyes, his thoughts were obviously written all over his face, letting him see through him at a glance.
Fu Renzhou wanted to see how anxious he was. If he was in a hurry, he would naturally have to start to be anxious.
"Be a man and say few words." Seeing that her artist didn't talk, Jingzen spoke back, at the same time continued to glare at him.
Fu Renzhou only wanted to see the anxious reaction of the youth in front of him. In the past, he ridiculed him and was satisfied with all his attempts. However, today he ran into a wall.
Seeing that the youth was really going to ignore him to the end, Fu Renzhou repressed the unhappiness in him heart and coldly huffed as he left.
If he stood here again, it would appear that he was sticking to the door on his own initiative. After all, he had plenty of opportunities to make a fool of him when he went in for the audition. He was not in a hurry.
"This man is really very narrow-minded, he still bears grudges from four years ago." The artist she brought with her had been targeted by another artist from the same company for a long time. of course, Jingzen was not happy." He pretends to be gentle in front of his fans. If his fans could see his face just now, his gentle image will be shattered."
Listening to his agent muttering in a low voice about the various wrongs of the person who had just provoked him, Gu Huai coughed and laughed, "Sometime he will have bad luck and fall flat and make an ugly face or something, Zen jie don't be angry."
Jingzen hadn't opened her mouth to respond to what he said, then the young man seemed to suddenly stumble on something invisible, he really fell flat in her line of sight.
"Plop-"
In front of so many people, he fell to the ground, Fu Renzhou although in the bottom of his heart, he was still a little speechless, but he was already trying to maintain his gentle image, smiling as he stood up again.
If anyone looked carefully, it was not difficult to see the reluctance on Fu Renzhou's face.
Seeing that some people were secretly smiling, his expression inevitably became a little ugly, but he had nowhere to go, he could only hold on.
Just now Fu Renzhou was walking. When he lifted his foot, he suddenly felt as if something had grabbed his ankle, causing his body to lose balance. This led to the scene just now.
However, just now there was no one close to him, so for no reason in front of the public, he fell, Fu Renzhou reluctantly smiled, trying not to let himself expose his true emotions.
"Yes... Sister Zen is not angry." Jing Zen's smile was not too obvious, but she was unable to keep a straight face.
People like Fu Renzhou who were so proud of themselves, it was much more painful for them to make a fool of themselves in public than to hit them directly in the face. Now the bottom of the other's heart was uncomfortable.
Gu Huai: "......"
Gu Huai just said that sentence just to appease his agent, he also didn't expect it to come true, the other party was clearly walking on a flat ground, how did he fall flat...
He didn't use any supernatural power. Gu Huai knew that he was not an ordinary human being, but he did not feel any special abilities for the time being.
If the celestial master was present at this time, he would see several groups of black fog unswervingly following behind the youth. These black fog were caused by the Yan clan.
The so-called Yan clan, in the eyes of ordinary people, were... floating ghosts.
Although Gu Huai awakened his bloodline, he was unexpectedly different from other non-human beings. His inner eyes was still closed and he needed a chance or assistance to open them.
Behind him, since he awakened his bloodline, a few black fogs had been following him, his inner eyes were not open, they had been watching him freely but he didn't notice until this unusual event, making him slightly confused.
According to the sequence of auditions, when all the people in front had finished the audition, Gu Huai stood up, walked around the corner and entered the audition room.
Seeing the young man enter the room, Jingzen squeezed out the sweat in her hand and prayed silently outside for him to pass smoothly.
In the room for the audition, besides director Song Ze of the TV series, there were six other cast members, Fu Renzhou, as the established first male lead, who was allowed to watch the audition process for other roles. In the corner of the room stood a dozen tough guys dressed in black suits, which made many actors who came in to audition feel a little strange when they saw them.
As soon as Gu Huai entered the room, the eyes of several of the seven people sitting in the seats became bright. If the young man entered, there was no doubt that he was very suitable for the role of male lead No. 3 in their script.
In "Thousand Words" drama script, Jiang Li, the male lead, though only the third male lead, was a very captivating character...... To some extent, it would attract a lot attention from girls.
Jiang Li's background was that of a gang leader, who took over as a young adult when his father was killed by his enemies.
Young, handsome and always well dressed, if someone who didn't know the true background of Jiang Li saw him, they would only think of him as a child of a wealthy family, but they would never think that he was as a gang leader.
Although he was young, Jiang Li was able to take over the family without being killed off by his family's enemies, which showed that he was very skilled.
His eyebrows would not twitch when it was time to to be merciless, but his usual gentleness made it impossible to imagine that he was able to blow a person's head with a gun and smile in the next second.
In the process of the fierce competition between the male leads 1 and 2, Jiang Li also had some feelings towards the female lead, Chen Xiaoxiao, he liked her, but he could not reach the level of love.
But for Jiang Li, who had experienced so much darkness, 'like' was the most vivid and passionate emotion he could give her.
Because of this feeling, Jiang Li did not take the initiative to compete with the two men, but he still provided all sorts of help to the female lead without voicing it, and even at the end of the plot set by the script, Jiang Li would die to save the kidnapped girl.
Although the script was given in advance to all the actors who wanted to audition, the audition requirements were not mentioned at all. Each actor would get a random audition requirement when they walked in.
After entering the room, Gu Huai politely nodded his head to the crowd to say hello. He noticed that the few people sitting in front of him showed a little satisfaction after seeing him, which was a good start.
However, some people had the opposite reaction to him and several others frowned slightly after seeing Gu Huai.
They had heard about some deeds of the youth in front of them, his performance skills was the biggest disadvantage of the other.
"You stand there."
Song Ze, the director of the movie ordered a dozen people to stand in the corner of the room to the left of the young man in front.
"Well, you can start acting."After he finished the sentence, he folded his hands on the table and looked at the youth calmly.
The Members of the production team who were watching the auditions were dumbfounded. This was not the same requirements he had given the others before him. Before, other actors came in, Song Ze assigned them a scene to play, but he hadn't done this.
Standing with a group of tall men in black suits, the young man was a bit thin, and in the mood.... .
The audition had started, and the watchers had not understood the purpose of the director, but as they looked at the youth, they stared the youth who headed to the left and faced a dozen or so black suit workers alone.
Suddenly, everything seemed to be different.
The young man's back was straight, without any deliberate facial expression or any threatening physical movement. He stood up casually in the face of his subordinates, with a seemingly casual look, standing alone made people around him feel a sense of oppression that could not be ignored.
It was not like Mount Tai, which made it too hard to breathe, but it was like a rope around the neck of a person, it wasn't loose or tight but constantly reminded them of the danger.
The young man's aura gained the upper hand at a moment, giving one a glimpse of the power he held over a dozen tall black suits.
"Impossible......"
He was also an actor, and Fu Renzhou understood the difficulty of this quiet, silent style with a single action, and he could not believe in any way that the youth in front of him could do it.
For four years everyone had seen how bad his acting was.
"This is good." Among the people who were watching the audition, many could not help nodding their heads, with a more satisfied look on their faces.
It was a teen-idol drama, but they were not really demanding on actors. If the appearance conditions were met, and their temperament was appropriate, then they could be considered as long as their acting was not so bad to look at it.
Next, let the other party try out a scene, and they could decide if it was okay. They didn't know what the director thought, but some of the crew who were there felt that the youth in front of them was the most qualified actor they had seen.
"Try it out, Renzhou. Since you're here, act with him." Song Ze glanced at the No. 1 male lead, who they had decided on half a month ago, and pointed him to the location."In the scene of Jiang Li's killing, Renzhou will play the role of 'Yu Wensheng'."
Yu Wensheng was a traitor to the family of Jiang Li in the plot, and his father's death was related to him, and he left the family after his death. In the latter stage, he caused a lot of trouble for Jiang Li, but he was eventually settled in a banquet.
"Start."Song Ze knocked on the table.
Fu Renzhou had already planned to suppress the other in the process, and the best thing was to completely cover up the other's performance and not give him any opportunity to shine.
The script was a scene where the two guests were enjoying themselves in the hotel. At the end of the banquet, Jiang Li and Yu Wensheng finally drank one more glass. After they had drank, the two stood up and shook hands with laughter, showing the future friendly cooperation between the two sides. And the plot of Jiang Li's shooting was set just after the friendly handshake.
As the script was written this way, the actors' performance varied, and all the reviewers in the room now looked at the two people ahead with interest. The plot was crucial to the character, Jiang Li, and they wanted to know how the youth would play it.
With no glass or any other props, Gu Huai made a move to touch the glass, put the non-existent glass in front of his lips, and slightly lowered his eyebrows and sipped.
The whole process was smooth and natural, and even without any props, the scene was visually felt.
Looking at Fu Renzhou, at first he seemed dumbfounded, and failed to keep up. But 'Yu Wensheng' was not the role that he really needed to play, and it was understandable that he would fall behind.
After sipping his drink, Gu Huai gently put down the empty glass in his hand, and he stood up and approached Fu Renzhou, with a gentle smile and an outstretched hand.
It was a friendly handshake, and according to the script, Fu Renzhou quickly smiled and reached out to the young man, then he heard the young man speak with a very gentle voice, "Happy cooperation."
The young man's appearance was indeed beautiful, his face was beautiful, and his slightly bent eyes was very polite and sincere. Fu Renzhou could not help but be slightly puzzled by the sincerity and goodwill expressed by the other at this time, so he also responded, "Yes......"
As soon as he finished the first word, Fu Renzhou saw the young man in front of him lift his left hand and held the 'gun' to his forehead, before he calmly pulled the trigger.
The whole process was completed with a friendly handshake, until the moment the trigger was pulled, Gu Huai lightly removed his hand held by the other, allowing 'Yu Wensheng' to fall backward.
He didn't look at the man who had fallen, Gu Huai lowered his eyes and wiped his fingers, and then slowly turned to his underling, "Deal with it."
The room was silent for a few seconds, the scene was a trial run, and all the crew members, including those who had previously had a bad opinion of the young, had a single thought.
It was him.
After all, only the director could decide to pass the auction, and the crew could not hide the satisfaction in their faces, then they looked at the director Song Ze. If this actor, who was suitable for Male lead No. 3, didn't pass, they would have to persuade the director.
"You passed, " Mr. Song nodded to the youth standing in front of him, as the crowd watched.
Since some actors had passed the audition, the audition was over. There was no second or third round, and no one in the line at the back of the youth had audition.
Jingzen waited outside for a while, and suddenly a staff member came out and said the audition was over, her heart started beating fast.
If she was not mistaken, it meant.... .
"Yes." Gu Huai went to his agent and smiled.
Jingzen, who was his agent, was more excited than the actor, and she lifted her hand and patted the young man's shoulders twice."Sister Zen knew you could do it, Fu Renzhou's face should be green now, it's better for you to stay away from him"
"Let's go, Sister Zen, will invite you to dinner to celebrate." In recent years, she had not made much money, but she had never been stingy.
Gu Huai was about to say yes, but at that point his cell phone in his pocket vibrated.
"I've not been to C City recently, and I'm not familiar. You should be a native of C city. Would you please show me around, so I could familiarize myself with the environment here, the 300 yuan loan will be considered settled, please?"
The sender was Ao Qi.
