All the people who received the number plate at the scene pinned the number plate to the right chest as required.
The auditions were over in one day, so the schedule was very tight, and everyone was only given 5 minutes. The on-site staff responsible for maintaining order sent everyone a printed tip with notes on it—
1. Artists participating in the audition, please introduce yourself and inform the crew of the role you are auditioning for. The director may ask you to make various expressions including smiling, laughing, crying, sadness, collapse, etc. Please cooperate with the director's request. Choose one or two acts from the audition script to perform. The director may interrupt you at any time. If you can't bear the psychological blow, you can leave early.
2. After hearing the call from the staff, enter through the front door and exit through the back door, and keep the scene quiet. Calling the number three times without a response will be regarded as an automatic abandonment.
3. Audition results will be announced within three days.
This tip should have been made by someone in the propaganda department, no unnecessary nonsense, simple and neat.
Zhou Yan called the four to an empty office: "Don't think too much, introduce yourself after entering, and then follow the director's instructions. Although Director Liu has strict requirements on acting skills and is more serious, President Pei When he is present, he will always show some respect to Tianxuan's artists, and even if he does not perform well, he will not embarrass you in public."
Cheng Xia immediately grasped the point: "Is President Pei here today?"
Zhou Yan glanced at him, nodded and said, "Pei is always the producer and director of this show."
Cheng Xia suddenly felt very at ease - President Pei personally supervised the production, so this drama will definitely not go wrong!
Qi Xiaotian couldn't help but ask: "President Pei is in charge of himself, so our Tianxuan artist should have a better chance of being selected, right?"
Zhou Yan frowned slightly: "Theoretically, this is true. But it's not necessarily. After all, the original author and director are both there. Since President Pei said about fair competition, it is impossible to force Tianxuan's artist to give Director Liu. I heard the sign-in. The staff over there said that several famous celebrities are here today, especially Qin Nian and Lu Fengyang, the competition is extremely fierce."
She also didn't expect why these little famous stars would come to join in the fun. Is it because these stars think that Tianxuan's production will definitely become popular, so do they come to take advantage of the popularity? Whatever the reason, the competition for this audition was more intense than anyone expected.
Zhou Yan was very nervous, but on the surface she still showed the calmness of her manager, looking at Cheng Xia and Qi Xiaotian: "Have you heard of Ye Mingqian?"
Cheng Xia searched for the name in his mind, and quickly remembered: "Is it the hero of the popular literary film "Living Time" in the first half of the year, is he an Omega?"
Zhou Yan nodded: "Yes, he is 20 years old this year. He is the fastest rising Omega actor in the entertainment industry in recent years. He also came to audition today, and the role he is competing for is also the protagonist Qin Nian."
Cheng Xia's heart trembled slightly, such a strong competitor was something he never expected.
At first, President Pei said that this drama was invested by Group C, and it was best to let Tianxuan's newcomer play it, but after all, it was not a "predetermined drama".
The other party is experienced and has a good popularity. He is just a little transparent who has made a MV and has not yet released it.
Who will the director choose? Cheng Xia is not sure.
The only thing he has confidence in is that he has invested much more effort and energy in this drama than Ye Mingqian, and his understanding of the role of Qin Nian is definitely deeper than that of Ye Mingqian who came to audition as soon as he got the script. much more. He always dreamed of Qin Nian these days. Qin Nian seemed to have entered his heart from the book. He especially wanted to play this character himself.
Qi Xiaotian was not so confident, scratched his head, and said with a smile, "The role of Qin Nian is so fiercely competitive? Or, should I choose the role of Qin Nian's small hair?"
Zhou Yan thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's too late to change roles. Newcomers don't necessarily have to play the leading role, there is an opportunity to show their faces, and it's good to play a supporting role to hone your acting skills." She looked at Cheng Xia, "How about you, Cheng Xia? ?"
Cheng Xia looked firm: "I'd better try Qin Nian. I also prepared his script."

At 9 o'clock, the audition officially began.
Everyone who walked into the audition site was taken aback. In addition to the wide space left for the actors to perform, five people sat together on the other side—producer Pei Shaoze, director Liu Xueyi, screenwriter Xu Moran, original author Lemongrass, assistant and scene. Moderator Zhang Fan.
In addition to the five people, there are several people on the side, the lighting engineer, the photographer, the radio engineer, and the recorder. The camera was actually set up with dual tracks, two cameras were opened to shoot at the same time, and there was a monitoring screen in front of the director and President Pei!
Is this an audition? Is this the fucking filming location? !
Most of the auditions in the circle are like company interviews. Artists perform some clips live. It is extremely rare to directly turn on the camera like today, and even prepare the lighting and sound.
Some newcomers who had never seen the big scene were shocked by such a formal audition, especially Pei Shaoze, who was sitting in the first place, with a serious expression and indifferent eyes. Many newcomers couldn't help trembling when they saw him. play.
Liu Xueyi was also very serious, and some people were kicked out by him in disgust after only one minute of acting.
The artists who were waiting outside became more and more nervous when they saw the guys who got out after tens of seconds after entering.
The entire audition scene was shrouded in a depressing atmosphere. The faces of the people who came out of the audition room became more ugly, and some people even complained in private: "Isn't it just a broken Internet drama, so formal..."
Cheng Xia closed his eyes and recited the script in his mind.
He was also a little nervous, but when he heard that the audition site was so formal, he felt more deeply that President Pei attached great importance to the show, and wanted to perform well in front of President Pei and the director. Tension gradually turned into motivation, Cheng Xia clenched his fists and memorized the lines of the audition script word for word several times.
Soon it was Zhou Jiawen's turn on the 10th, and he wanted to try Lu Fengyang, the protagonist of Alpha.
After all, he has acted in several online dramas, and he is much calmer than most of the newcomers. Zhou Yan took him in personally and wanted to stay and watch his performance, but Pei Shaoze said lightly: "Let the agent go out and leave the scene to the artist. ."
Zhou Yan had no choice but to go out in despair.
After a while, Zhou Jiawen came out, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is it?"
Zhou Jiawen frowned: "I don't know, let me go back and wait for the notice."
Cheng Xia: "..."
It's really torturous to wait for these three words to be notified!
Qi Xiaotian came over and asked, "What did President Pei say?"
Zhou Jiawen gave a wry smile: "He was sitting there as a statue. He was so serious. He looked indifferent from beginning to end. I didn't dare to look him in the eyes. When I finished the performance, he said: Go back and wait for the notice."
Cheng Xia: "..."
awaiting notice. It feels like the person being taken to the execution ground is waiting for the executioner's knife to fall on his neck. Cheng Xia can imagine how strong Mr. Pei's aura is.
Xue Ling quickly went in, and when he came out, his face was cold, but the result was the same: "Let me go back and wait for the notice."
Zhou Yan helped his forehead helplessly.
The audition in the morning ended quickly. Cheng Xia saw a lot of handsome Alphas, all of whom came to compete for the role of Lu Fengyang. In the afternoon, the style of the scene changed abruptly, and there were many beautiful, cute and sunny Omegas in the corridor, because Qin Nian, the character who auditioned in the afternoon, and Zhang Xiaoheng, the funny person in the play, were all Omegas.
Of course, there are also some Betas to try to compete. The entertainment industry does not stipulate that only Omegas can play Omegas. As long as the appearance is suitable and the acting is similar, no one will criticize Omegas for playing Alpha.
Cheng Xia was sitting in the corridor waiting. After an unknown amount of time, the assistant girl suddenly called out, "Number 97."
A boy in a light blue sweater walked over from the corner.
He is nearly 1.8 meters tall, thin and well-proportioned, wearing a pair of sunglasses to cover half of his face, after hearing the call, he took off the sunglasses and walked to the audition room. Cheng Xia recognized at a glance that he was the very popular Omega this year. Star - Ye Mingqian.
Looking at him from a close distance, he is really beautiful, his skin is dazzlingly white, his peach blossom eyes are flowing, and he is gentle and soft. When people look at him, they can't help but want to get close to him and protect him. Cheng Xia, who is also an Omega, also feels that He is very temperamental.
Seemingly aware of the gaze on the side, Ye Mingqian turned his head slightly and met a pair of clear eyes.
Cheng Xia smiled politely at him.
Although the other party is a huge threat to him, Cheng Xia feels that the audition is a fair competition, and he is a newcomer. Ye Mingqian has debuted for several years. If he really can't compete, then his skills are not as good as others. Can't blame others for taking this role
Ye Mingqian also smiled at Cheng Xia.
It may be because of Omega. The smell of gunpowder is not as strong as the Alphas in the morning show, but the smile is only a superficial situation. There will only be one actor in Qin Nian.
***
In the house, after watching the group of demons dance all day, Liu Xueyi's head was about to explode, he couldn't help but complain: "Just now, this guy actually used his butt to face the camera when he was acting, and his lines were not good enough. Feeling wronged, I can't bear to scold him for fear that he will cry!"
Until Zhang Fan said: "Ye Mingqian, the next No. 97, the role he wants to try is also Qin Nian."
Liu Xueyi's eyes lit up: "Ye Mingqian? This person's acting skills are not bad, does Mr. Pei know him? The protagonist of the literary film "Flowering Light" in the first half of the year. However, his temperament is more literary and artistic, which is similar to the image of Qin Nian in the novel. It doesn't fit very well, does it?"
Pei Shaoze said lightly: "I know him. Excellent actors will not let their image tend to be stereotyped. He came to audition for the role of Qin Nian, probably because he wanted to expand his acting career, change the audience's inherent impression of him, and challenge his acting skills. ."
Liu Xueyi nodded: "Yes, let's take a good look."
Pei Shaoze turned his head and asked Zhang Fan, "Who's next?"
Zhang Fan said softly, "No. 98 Cheng Xia."
Pei Shaoze: "..."
Cheng Xia, what's your bad luck, you didn't say anything about the last one in the afternoon game, and you still collided with your strongest opponent, Ye Mingqian
What about your protagonist's halo
Pei Shaoze pressed his temple lightly, but he was not worried that Cheng Xia would be nervous, but if Ye Mingqian performed too well and Cheng Xia followed closely, even if he performed well, he would be instantly compared. After all, Cheng Xia is a newcomer with no acting experience. If he does not perform well, it will be difficult to impress Liu Xueyi, a demanding director.
Fortunately, the author was also present.
Pei Shaoze felt that the Qin Nian in the original author's mind should be closer to the Qin Nian understood by Cheng Xia. After all, Cheng Xia had read the original book many times every day during this period, and Ye Mingqian definitely didn't have so much time to figure out Qin Nian. Role.
Opportunities are only for those who are prepared.
Pei Shaoze sat up straight and glanced at the front door.
