Until the audition officially started, the melody of "Unforgettable Tonight" still echoed in the minds of everyone present.

no way.

At the beginning, I really listened to it out of curiosity, but after listening carefully for a while... it is really nice, and it is also very eye-catching. When Wen Xingze goes to that station, any photo taken with his mobile phone is wallpaper-level!

The noisy and bustling city, a corner of the night, fireflies, power outages, unexpected impromptu performances.

Many people at the scene were even unsatisfied, quietly looking forward to the extension of the power outage.

"...Thank you everyone, good night," Wen Xingze finally said, "Finally, let's perform a magic trick for the children—"

Wen Xingze originally wanted to perform a fire-breathing performance as usual, but couldn't help but hiccupped again... An extremely beautiful golden-red flame poured out from his lips, turning into embers like fireworks and falling down.

Wen Xingze: "..."

Also at this second.

In the night, a few ocher plants broke through the reinforced concrete, took root and sprouted, and the ginkgo-like leaves fluttered into the palms of the children, turning into toffee.

And following the firelight in the darkness, like water ripples spreading, the lights of the entire block gradually lit up.

Calling!

Wen Xingze made the movement of taking off his top hat, and gave a handsome gentleman's salute in the light that changed from dim to bright, with tears at the end of his eyes burning.

Very romantic.

The children held the candy in surprise, and the crowd immediately screamed: "Ah, so handsome!!!"

Director Li Mingzhou in the crowd: "...fuck, so handsome!!!"

The assistant couldn't help but gave him a strange look, Li Mingzhou quickly restrained his expression, pretended to whistle and looked left and right, keeping silent for the sake of face.

Suddenly, he saw something outside the crowd.

Li Mingzhou's eyes lit up immediately, and he took his assistant and walked quickly.

half an hour later.

At the audition scene, the results of the preliminary screening will be announced soon, Wen Xingze knew that he would be eliminated in this round, the result was obvious. As far as the basic information is concerned, the actor must be under seven years old, and the other four or five young actors are not as old as Wen Xingze...

The elf priest expressed extreme displeasure at this.

Krypton gold can make the producer call you the father of the funder, but it can't influence the director's casting tendency, especially directors like Li Mingzhou.

Soon the staff came out with the elimination list, and sure enough, they were the first to walk towards Wen Xingze with an embarrassing expression...

"There are some problems with the selection mechanism here." Shaar said with a smile, and lightly touched his palm with his thumb, which was his inertial action when he wanted to summon a weapon.

Wen Xingze was terrified.

Fortunately, Char just summoned a small stove to heat the milk angrily.

As expected, the staff came to announce the news of the failure, and Wen Xingze was the first to bear the brunt. Wen Xingze had just planned to find Mr. Chi first after going out, and then take his parents for a walk. At this time, he was relieved to lose the election as he wished.

But there is also a little regret, this is Li Mingzhou's movie, Wen Xingze's favorite actor is Chi Yan, and Li Mingzhou is the one who made Chi Yan. Although Wen Xingze is popular now, he really doesn't have the confidence that he can handle this kind of golden big screen invitation.

However, just as he stood up, a woman in professional attire and a hairnet came hurriedly beside him: "Mr. Wen, I don't know if it's inconvenient now. Director Li wants to talk to you..."

The crowd fell silent for a moment.

"..."

The actual audition area is inside the building, the crew offices.

Parents are not allowed in. The crew office is divided into inner and outer rooms, and there is a water dispenser in the outer room. The producer and several men and women are discussing something.

They were all quiet when Wen Xingze walked in, the inner door was ajar, then the producer stroked his beard, nodded cautiously to Wen Xingze, motioning for him to open the door and go in.

Wen Xingze brewed his emotions for a while, then knocked on the door, and walked in after getting an answer. The people inside read the script again and didn't talk to each other, but they raised their heads in unison at this moment.

The man next to the window was of tall stature, and his shirt buttons were still buttoned up meticulously. The man's eyes were deep and deep, just looking at them with a slightly tired look, and then——

Wen Xingze: "..."

That person: "..."

His expression remained unchanged, but all his attention was clearly on Wen Xingze. He put down the script in his hand.

"Small news, right?" Li Mingzhou looked quite happy, but restrained his smile in order to appear reserved, and just waved to Wen Xingze very familiarly, "Come in, this is director Chi Yanchi... oh, you should know."

"I know," Wen Xingze thought to himself, "I grew up watching the movies of you and Mr. Chi."

Chi Yan: "..."

do not know why.

It sounds weird.

Li Mingzhou was very happy when he heard this. There is something about this matter, and he chatted casually: "It's Yulong Ye, I remember, Chi Yan directed a play for you for a while."

Wen Xingze nodded.

Chi Yan was quiet for two seconds, and then said, "Xiao Ze and I are more than that."

Wen Xingze's heartbeat almost stopped.

However, Li Mingzhou didn't realize it. He looked at Chi Yan and Wen Xingze, and suddenly realized: "You two are... Wangnian friends?"

Chi Yan: "?"

Wen Xingze: "?... Oh, you can also say that."

Li Mingzhou and Chi Yan are more than 30 years apart, so they can indeed be called friends who have forgotten each other, but Chi Yan and Wen Xingze...

Wen Xingze felt that Wangnian acquaintance was inaccurate, at least it had to be Wangnianlian.

The most beautiful thing is sunset red.

Chi Yan: "...the most beautiful thing is the red sunset?"

"Stop, don't read minds." Wen Xingze almost choked, but Chi Yan's eyes showed a smile, Wen Xingze began to understand him a little bit again, how funny is this

Fortunately, this topic did not go deep, the three of them chatted briefly and quickly got to the point. In addition to the director and assistant director, the screenwriter also pushed the door in at this time, as well as other main creators. The atmosphere started to get a little serious.

The director's assistant handed Wen Xingze a script, Wen Xingze took it and glanced at it, his heart started beating violently.

"Dust Planet" is a sci-fi film, from the material selection to the positioning, it can be seen that it is very ambitious. In China, only directors like Li Mingzhou and Chi Yan dared to give it a try.

Wen Xingze also knew about "Dust Planet" in advance, because it was adapted from the award-winning novel. It tells the story of humans, wars, and abandoned bionics living in the garbage collection station at the bottom of the entire planet and in the lower city in an era when human beings have been basically extinct. The young actor to be selected for this audition is one of the important supporting roles in the movie, a defective little robot who lives with the protagonist.

On the top of the script that Wen Xingze held, there was a line written on the top:

"Xia Huai, the third match."

Xia Huai, a human officer who retired from the front line, lost his right hand and an eyeball during the battle in his seventh year in the army. He used to be the glory of the empire, and many nobles bent down to give him roses, but now he is just one of the peddlers who live in the garbage dump and make a living by recycling waste, mediocre, dull, and sick all day long, and there is not much left on the star card balance struggle. And the beginning of "Dust Planet" started when Xia Huai picked up a bionic person abandoned by the enemy country in the waste recycling station.

… yes.

The script that Wen Xingze is holding now, this Xia Huai, is the first protagonist of "Dust Planet"!

Don't talk about movies, even TV dramas, Wen Xingze has never been the first protagonist! And this is not an ordinary movie, this is Dust Planet, what is the concept of Dust Planet directed by Li Mingzhou? !

Chi Yan's first film was directed by Li Mingzhou, and that film was directly nominated for seven Oscars. According to Jiang Ye's words, if Wen Xingze continues to struggle in his current state, he may be eligible to participate in the main audition for "Dust Planet" ten years later. This is the concept.

Wen Xingze only felt as if he was in a dream. At this moment, in his eyes, Li Mingzhou's whole back is shining, and the composition is a bit like Jesus who saves all sentient beings.

Li Mingzhou smiled: "I'll give you five minutes to prepare, try it."

The first and second starring roles of "Dust Planet" have not yet been selected. There are rumors on the Internet that it is because Director Li already has a candidate he likes and is still waiting. Wen Xingze really didn't expect it to be his turn.

Wen Xingze responded straight away: "Okay."

His eyes were glued to the script and he couldn't move away. The third scene was Xia Huai's rivalry with the bionic man. In the narrow basement, the bionic man woke up for the first time...

"Let's find someone to play with Xiao Wen." The screenwriter suggested, Li Mingzhou scanned the room, as if to ask the assistant to come, but Chi Yan's eyes almost froze Li Mingzhou.

Yo.

Does he want to go to... ? When this idea came up, everyone unanimously rejected it quickly. I always felt that Chi Yan was not the kind of person who would have a strong interest in anyone.

Li Mingzhou was the Chi Yan I saw there just now. Chi Yan stood outside the crowd, quietly listening to Xing Ze playing "Unforgettable Tonight", and there was an indescribable taste on the side of his face when the light flickered. Li Mingzhou originally asked Chi Yan to check the young actor's audition.

"Let's just let Actor Chi play a role." Li Mingzhou just said casually.

Unexpectedly, Chi Yan nodded immediately.

Everyone: "..."

Wen Xingze: "..."

From the very beginning, Dust Planet was the first leading actor, and the object of the audition was actually Chi Yan. The degree of difficulty has soared too high!

The most amazing thing is that just as Wen Xingze was racing against time to read the script, the producer opened the door and walked in. The door didn't close immediately, after a few seconds, Shaar walked in, the elf priest gently handed the hot milk to Wen Xingze, then raised his eyes, and glanced coolly at Chi Yan.

Chi Yan and Xia Ya glanced at each other. They didn't communicate, but for some reason, the air suddenly tensed up inexplicably.

Wen Xingze once again remembered the metaphor of the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

... Wen Xingze felt that he was about to be crushed by the pressure.
