Gong Xiqiao flipped through the thin page of the script in his hand, and glanced at the other male artists in the waiting room. They were all handsome, good-quality and famous first- and second-tier stars, and most of them were first-tier stars. Movies are still very attractive to artists.
Today's audition is only for the role of the male lead, and there are more than ten well-known and talented artists, which shows how fierce the competition is. Gong Xiqiao sat quietly in the corner and listened to the polite conversations of these first- and second-tier artists, in order to analyze the current situation.
"Teachers, the audition has officially started, please draw your numbered lottery." A staff member in a suit walked in, holding a small box in his hand. It seems to be fair, and the order of audition is determined by lottery. It was decided that this approach was much better than the original "Youth Famous Officials" in order of their worth.
Gong Xiqiao's lottery was not very good, it was the 9th lottery.
The more than ten people present are all face-to-face people in the circle, so after the lottery is drawn, no one plays any small tricks, just enter the audition according to the order.
When Zhao Yikun, who also came to the audition, saw Gong Xiqiao, he knew that he was definitely out of play this time. Originally, with his current reputation, he had no chance to participate in this audition. He came, but after seeing the competitors who were present at the audition, he knew that this time he was studying with the prince again.
The first eight auditions were over, and it was very late. A staff member with a sweet smile walked in: "Mr. Gongxi, it's your turn."
"Thank you." Gong Xiqiao handed Chen Ke the audition content in his hand. When he got up and passed Zhao Yikun, he smiled at him, and strode out of the waiting room.
"It's amazing to look good when you smile?!" Zhao Yikun muttered in a low voice, looking at the remaining few people, feeling a little nervous.
Although he thinks Gong Xiqiao's acting skills are good, the others are also very competitive.
"Sun Xiang, do you think Gong Xiqiao can be selected?" Zhao Yikun whispered to Sun Xiang, "What if he is not selected?"
Sun Xiang looked at Zhao Yikun speechlessly. Isn't he not pleasing to the eye? It would be better if he didn't choose, why is he worried here? Besides, everyone here is Gong Xiqiao's senior. It is normal that he is not selected, but it is a miracle that he is selected.
The audition room is a big dance practice room. After Gong Xiqiao walked in, he saw his clear figure printed on the mirror. As if he hadn't noticed this, he politely greeted the several audition personnel present.
The audition staff were also very polite. After a few conversations, the audition officially started.
"What is cultivation?" He stood proudly in the mountains, looking down at his feet, there seemed to be a lot of people standing there, and it seemed like there was nothing.
"It's good for cultivators and mortals, but they're all ants under the heaven," he sneered, and his eyes were filled with a chill that couldn't be removed, "You guys who think that people who are cultivators are superior to others are actually just sitting in the well and watching the sky, in the eyes of heaven. Here, you are no different from mortals."
"It's better to cultivate your own way than to stand tall in front of mortals." He retracted his gaze and turned to look at the tumultuous sea of clouds. His eyes were filled with emotions. In the end, these thousands of emotions only turned into calm, "but I hope this life has no regrets."
This audition looks very simple, but the most important thing is the momentum and emotional scene of the protagonist. A good actor, the corners of his eyes and brows or even a sentence is a play. Only poor performances rely on actions to express emotions, so the crew of "Cultivation" asked all the actors who auditioned to perform this not difficult segment.
The actors who came to the audition this time also had a few brushes. Even if they didn't surprise everyone, they were not successful, and they didn't ruin a role.
But for Lin Yu, the screenwriter of "Cultivation", although these artists performed well, they were not the immortals she thought. When she wrote this script, she put almost all her emotions into it. When the script was completed, she even felt that these characters were alive, and their joys and sorrows were real, but they were not in the same time and space as her.
These people are not her Immortal Venerable. Immortal Venerable should be gorgeous and unparalleled. He should be aloof and indifferent. He has a pair of eyes that see through the world but is lonely, a pair of hands that are as white as jade, a beautiful figure, and a dusty appearance. temperament.
The actors who auditioned for the audition were very good looking and very good at acting, but their eyes didn't look alike, not at all.
When half of the auditions passed, Lin Yu was almost desperate, and she even regretted that she should not have sold the script for money, because these people would only ruin her Immortal Venerable.
Until the ninth audition artist appeared.
The moment he appeared behind the door, she was stunned. This person's appearance almost resembled the Immortal Venerable she imagined, but this person had short hair and was also wearing a tailored casual suit.
When the other party's performance started, she looked into his eyes and was so excited that she almost crushed the introduction of the audition artist in her hand. There was a voice in her heart that kept screaming, it was him, it was this person! Only this person!
In order to hide her hot eyes, after the other party finished the performance, she kept her head down and did not speak, but she had already identified the actor as her male protagonist. If the investor and the director disagreed, she would rather cry and make trouble. They agree.
When the artist left the audition room, Lin Yu opened the artist's profile and was a little stunned. It turned out that young people were very fond of Gong Xiqiao recently. She originally thought that the so-called traffic jam and the most attractive male artist in advertisements were hyped by the agency, and she didn't have a good impression of this artist, but when she saw the real person today, she realized that she was looking at people with prejudice.
"Just him, he is the Immortal Venerable in my heart. As a screenwriter, no one knows what Immortal Venerable should be like better than me," Lin Yu pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, got up and said, "I will audition later. Don't look at it."
"Hey, Teacher Lin..." Director Jiao got up and persuaded, "Would you like to take a look?"
"No need," Lin Yu shook his head, "I only like this one, there will be no one more suitable than him."
"This literati's stinky problem." Seeing that Lin Yu was really gone, Director Jiao looked helplessly at the others present, "This Gong Xiqiao's performance is indeed very exciting, and it fits the role very well, what do you think?" In fact, not only Lin Yu, he is also very satisfied with Gong Xiqiao's performance. Thinking of the performance just now, he felt a little emotional. As expected of an actor who was able to participate in the filming of "National Industry" just after his debut, this young man really has this ability.
There are two people in the audience who are senior management of Xi's. They don't know whether the acting is good or not, but in their opinion, Gong Xiqiao's performance is the most immortal, and it looks more temperamental than the previous ones. What's more, the relationship between his boss and him is still a good friend, and they voted in favor without thinking.
"Then make him a key consideration." Director Jiao drew a large circle behind Gong Xiqiao's name, showing some satisfaction in his eyes.
Gong Xiqiao took Chen Ke with him. Walking into the parking lot, seeing a somewhat familiar person standing next to their car, he immediately frowned, stopped and looked at Chen Ke, who also had a bad look.
Zheng Lei saw Gong Xiqiao appear, hesitated for a moment, and then walked up quickly: "Young Master Qiao."
Seeing Zheng Lei's sullen expression, Chen Ke was worried about the trouble he would find Gong Xiqiao, and immediately stopped in front of Gong Xiqiao: "Mr. Zheng, may I ask what is your business with Xiao Qiao."
"Brother Chen," Zheng Lei saw Chen Ke showing a protective attitude, even when he stood three steps away from the two, he looked at Gong Xiqiao pleadingly, "Young Master Qiao, I know I'm wrong, please You forgive me this time, I was just confused for a while."
Gong Xiqiao saw Zheng Lei's dejected appearance, how could he still see the scenery from two months ago, out of the corner of his eyes glanced around, then looked at Zheng Lei worriedly, "Brother Zheng, what's wrong with you? If you have something to say slowly, don't do that."
"It was my fault for asking Shui Jun to blackmail you before, I apologize to you!" He knelt in front of Gong Xiqiao with a thud, "Now the circle has blocked me, and I can't receive the film or the announcement. But I My parents are not in good health, and they need a lot of medical bills every month, so I really can't help it."
"Are my uncle and aunt sick again? I'll help you pay for the money you're short of. You don't have to. The man has gold under his knees, so get up first." Gong Xiqiao stretched out his hand and was about to help him, but who knew that Zheng Lei had a hand in it. hugged his knees.
"Young Master Qiao, I was wrong, I was really wrong, please forgive me this time, I don't dare anymore."
"Brother Zheng, what are you talking about, say something when you have something to say," Gong Xiqiao looked at Zheng Lei worriedly, "I can help as much as possible if there is any difficulty, you don't have to!"
After finishing speaking, he turned to Chen Ke and said, "Brother Chen, help me to help Brother Zheng get up."
"Thank you," Zheng Lei thanked Gong Xiqiao with red eyes, stood up slowly, and thanked him several times before saying, "How can I ask for your money, this time I'm sorry for you, and it deserves such an end. "After that, he walked into a half-old car next to him and drove away.
Gong Xiqiao squinted at Zheng Lei's car news in the parking lot, turned around and got into the car with Chen Ke.
"Did you record the scene just now?" He slowly rolled up the car window and said to Xiao Yao, who got in the car, "Save the video well." Zheng Lei's behavior of pretending to be pitiful even after being beaten to death is really Suspicious, so I can't blame him for being too careful.
"Hmm." Xiao Yao nodded fiercely. She just took things down in advance. Who knew that when she just put things in and was about to go back, she saw Zheng Lei approaching the car. As a conscientious artist assistant, she Be careful not to let the other party find out, but hide in a corner that is not easily noticed. Then shortly after Zheng Lei appeared, two more people with mobile phones were secretly hiding in the corner on the other side, as if waiting for something to happen.
Realizing that something was wrong with this situation, she also took out her mobile phone and took a picture of the next scene.
"That's good," Gong Xiqiao said to Chen Ke in the driver's seat, "Brother Chen, please drive me to Xi's headquarters."
Chen Ke glanced back at him, didn't say anything, just started the car silently.
"Boss, this project..."
"This cooperation plan is temporarily beneficial to our Xi's, but from the perspective of long-term interests, I will not agree to such a plan that may disrupt the market." Xi Qing glanced at the people present and threw the project aside. " The Xi family can stand for a hundred years because we remember who we are. We do not lack this benefit, and we don't need to mention it in the future."
Seeing Xi Qing's serious expression, everyone present did not dare to speak at will. It is not that they did not know what kind of negative impact this project with huge benefits would bring, but what did other people's interests have to do with them.
"Where you stand, you have to bear some responsibilities," Xi Qing said in a bad tone, "We will not accept the cooperation of this overseas company in the future."
After the meeting, Gou Te looked at Xi Qing who was reading the documents, "Boss, if we reject this cooperation plan, this company may cooperate with Bai's. Will this affect us?"
"The Bai family has this ambition, so they will go find their own death," Xi Qing put down the pen in his hand, raised his wrist to look at the time, and rubbed his forehead, "It's getting late, you can go back and rest."
Gou Tezhu looked out of the darkened window and was a little worried: "Boss, your face is not very good, did you not rest well?"
Although there are many people from the side of the Xi family, the boss is the only one left in the main family line, guarding such a big Xi family, and returning to the villa, there is no one who knows the cold and the heat. However, the boss is a very self-disciplined person. People under the age of 30 are living the life of a 60-year-old. This kind of life is too boring.
"It's okay, there are bodyguards outside, you can go back," Xi Qing leaned on the back of the chair, then turned the chair in one direction, looking at the lights of thousands of homes outside the window, her dark pupils were cold.
Gou Te backed out lightly, nodded to the bodyguard who was guarding outside, and left helplessly.
"Bai Family..." Xi Qing gently tapped the left palm with the pen in his right hand, his eyes narrowed slightly.
The phone rang suddenly, he picked up the phone and glanced at it, the coldness on his face disappeared instantly, and he pressed the answer button: "Little Qiao?"
Gong Xiqiao stood under the Xi's office building, looked up at the high-end and elegant building in front of him, and carefully pressed the hat on his head to prevent it from falling: "It's almost ten o'clock, you still have to Work? Come down, I'll treat you to a late-night snack."
After getting a positive answer from the other party, Gong Xiqiao hung up the phone with satisfaction, then stood behind the big bonsai and waited for Xi Qing to go downstairs.
The security guard at the Xi's door looked suspiciously at the young man at the door. He was dressed very well, but he wore a peaked cap at night, and also wore large black-rimmed glasses. He was about 1.8 meters tall and huddled behind the potted plant. , why so suspicious
As a conscientious security guard, he thought about it and decided to go and see who this person was. What if he was a gangster
Just after taking a step, a black shadow suddenly appeared from behind him. He was stunned for a while, looking at the man who passed him, and felt that the man's back was familiar, and he seemed to have seen it somewhere.
Like... the big boss
Seeing Gong Xiqiao wearing a peaked cap and black-rimmed glasses, Xi Qing pursed his lips unnaturally, "Why are you here?"
The bodyguard drove the car over and opened the door for the two of them. Gong Xiqiao took off his hat and glasses after getting in the car, "I have something to do in the afternoon, so I stopped by to see you. Why, I disturbed you. ?"
Xi Qing shook his head silently.
