Different from the audition for "Ling Shen", it was just a simple and rough cutscene, and the basic actors had already been decided. The audition for "Introduction to Songs" was quite formal. Not long after Lin Xi joined the crew, she was taken by the makeup crew to make up and change clothes. Since they have known each other before, Sister Liu from the makeup team specially designed a set of looks for Lin Xi under the care of Director Wu.

Lin Xi's skin was darkened with a creamy foundation that was two shades darker than her skin tone. Sister Liu's fingers were stained with dark black eyebrow powder. Just the completion of these two simple steps, at first glance, it feels completely transformed, and the whole person has a more masculine and heroic temperament.

It goes without saying that Lin Xi's appearance is so beautiful and exquisite, it's hard to match it in the entertainment circle of Tian X Dynasty. But such an appearance is also an obstacle in some respects, it is not only a unique advantage, but also an insurmountable disadvantage.

For example, for such a tough character like Chu Ge, even when the handsome and handsome Qi Wenyuan played it, fans once complained, questioning that the other party is too young, and I am afraid that he cannot be qualified for such a heroic role. Of course, Qi Wenyuan naturally proved his strength with box office and word of mouth, and took home his first actor trophy.

Nowadays, it is no longer a problem to transform a young girl into a hunchback old woman, but it is often difficult to change a person's temperament. Although many actors put on an old-fashioned makeup, they can make the audience recognize the difference in age at a glance.

Although Ye Yiyi once persuaded Lin Xi to give up the audition for Chu Ge on the grounds that "your appearance does not match", in fact, the point of this sentence is that even with a matching appearance condition, it is impossible to interpret the kind of experience Vicissitudes, weather-beaten heavy feeling.

Sister Liu used brown eyeshadow to brush around Lin Xi's eye sockets and cheeks, making the whole face look deeper and more three-dimensional. She put on a specially designed hair set for Lin Xi, and at just one glance, she felt that she was quite different from the handsome young man before, and when she looked closely, she would find that she still had the same finely crafted facial features, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Lin Xi is really... so handsome." Reluctantly finding an adjective, Sister Liu exclaimed. She took the costume handed over by her assistant, handed it to Lin Xi, smiled and said, "Come on! As long as you conquer your Sister Ye, nothing will be a problem." After finishing speaking, she winked at Lin Xi , showing a mysterious smile.

Lin Xi was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, he still didn't understand what the phrase "conquer Ye Yiyi" meant, and the auditions had already begun. With doubts, he quickly changed into costumes, walked through two small rooms and entered the audition room.

The audition room is about 80 square meters. Three high-wattage lights hang from the ceiling, facing the stage in the middle of the room, which is a step above the ground. The bright lights were concentrated on the stage, making the rest of the room slightly dark.

In the center of the stage, there was only a half-person-high plastic folding table, shining brightly under the bright lights, was an elegant and long rapier placed on it. The light made the hidden silver lines on the scabbard shine with beautiful silver light, and the precious jade hanging from the hilt was spinning in the air, crystal clear.

When his eyes touched the long sword that was so familiar to his bones, Lin Xi couldn't help lowering his eyes, and looked deeply at the long sword on the table for a long time, then raised his head, and looked at the long sword standing on the other side of the room. Ye Yiyi.

It was still the enchanting and charming red dress and light gauze, paired with that captivatingly beautiful face, Lin Xi couldn't help but darken his eyes when he saw it. Six years have passed, and Ye Yiyi is no longer the young and beautiful girl she was back then, and Bu Chuchu has long been married.

With the same attire, if six years ago Lin Xi saw a naive, beautiful and aggressive witch, then this time, what he saw was a charming and charming woman. After years of good treatment, Ye Yiyi's beauty has not weakened in the slightest. It's just that the vicissitudes of the annual rings have been precipitated. Not only did God not take away the beloved face, but also endowed the other party with the charm exuded from the bones.

Lin Xi narrowed his eyes, but was absent-minded for a moment, and then woke up again. He turned his head to look at Wu Zhen and the others sitting behind the table, stepped forward a few steps to the center of the stage, raised his lips to show an elegant smile, bent down very politely, and said, "Hi Director Wu, I'm Lin Xi, auditioning for the role of Chu Ge." After speaking, he raised his waist and waited calmly for the other party's answer.

When Lin Xi first entered the room, Wu Zhen was stunned for a moment by his attire. Although he knew that he had specially asked Sister Liu to prepare a suitable makeup for Lin Xi, but he never expected that the enchanting and beautiful Lin Xiaoqiu could really turn into a handsome and handsome young man.

Seeing Lin Xi's calm smile, Wu Zhen felt happy, patted the table, cleared his throat and asked seriously: "Lin Xi, do you know the age of the character Chu Ge?"

Lin Xi smiled lightly: "I was 26 years old when I first appeared in "Yin Ge Jue 2", and I was 29 years old when it ended."

The audition script given by Wu Zhen did not mention Chu Ge's age, but it mentioned at the beginning that the story happened five years after Chu Ge and Bu Chuchu lived in seclusion in the mountains. If you are an ordinary movie fan, you will naturally not care about the age of the characters in the movie, but...

He is Chu Ge. No one knows Chu Ge better than him, and everything that Chu Ge represents is him.

"Haha, you kid actually know!" Wu Zhen was not surprised. He had already guessed that Lin Xi, who could recite the classic lines of "Yin Ge Jue", would know this kind of uncommon thing. The old man turned his head to look at Ye Yiyi, who was standing aside with an unclear expression, and asked, "Little demon girl, she really did a lot of homework."

Hearing this, Ye Yiyi raised her eyes and glanced lightly at the triumphant Wu Zhen, her country-colored face was completely calm, only the corners of her bright red petal-like mouth were slightly raised, and she smiled charmingly. She reached out and took a lottery box on the table against the wall, and walked up to Lin Xi. The bell on the shoulder rang, echoing in the quiet and empty room.

"Let's audition by lottery."

Lin Xi looked down at the simple to scribbled lottery box made of cardboard boxes, couldn't help but chuckled, and then reached in to touch it casually.

"..." Maintaining the state of putting his right hand in the paper box, Lin Xi looked up at Ye Yiyi quite speechlessly. Seeing that the latter was normal, he turned his head to look at Wu Zhen who was watching the excitement. Lin Xi reluctantly took out her slender and fair hand from the paper box, and brought out a small note ten centimeters long.

Lin Xi sighed softly, and asked, "Old Wu, what does this mean?" Lin Xi shook the white note in his hand, and with his movements, the half-finger-wide note fluttered in the air.

Ye Yiyi folded the gray paper box a few times forcefully, and threw it into the trash can beside her, with light and graceful movements. I saw a beautiful parabola falling in the air on the carton, hitting the red heart.

Wu Zhen laughed loudly: "Of course the questions for your audition for Lin Xiaoqiu can't be too simple, so there is only one question in this lottery box." After coughing lightly, Wu Zhen glanced at Ye Yiyi nonchalantly, confirming that the other party had no objections. Finally, he said in a solemn tone: "Your topic is - to perform the penultimate scene in the audition script, the cliffhanger."

Lin Xi was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, but he smiled and hooked his lips for a moment, and quickly accepted this special topic. He turned around and nodded to Ye Yiyi, and said with a smile: "Then, sister Yiyi will have to work hard, please give me your advice."

Hearing this, Ye Yiyi couldn't help curling the corners of her lips and showing a charming smile, the peach blossom eyes with the tip of her eyes raised up just a look, which made people feel crisp to the bone.

She nodded slightly and said, "Then, let's start."

As soon as the words fell, Lin Xi nodded, turned around and walked towards the square table in the center of the stage. He bent over and picked up the Luoshui long sword placed in the middle of the table. The knuckle-knuckle hand was holding the upper end of the scabbard, which happened to be touching the cold sword bore. Lin Xi looked down at the translucent jade hanging on the hilt of the sword, his cold eyes narrowed slightly. The next moment, he pressed his fingers hard, and with a sound of "clank-", the light gray silver engraved scabbard was removed, and it was gently placed on the table.

Holding the smooth hilt in his right hand, the unique cold temperature of metal is transmitted from the palm. The familiar touch made Lin Xi's heart soften, and his fingers lightly stroked the long hilt of the sword twice where no one else could see it.

Long time no see, old friend.

After saying something secretly in his heart, Lin Xi turned his gaze away from the sword. He raised his head, just in time to see Ye Yiyi walking towards him with a long chestnut red whip, holding a tight and beautiful whip handle in his right hand, and folded the long whip a few times in his palm. The deep chestnut red blended with the bright blood red on her body, which was as dark brown as a wound.

"Let's start directly." Wu Zhen put away the joking look on his face, and looked serious. He leaned back against the back of the wooden chair, with a few deep wrinkles on his cheeks, looking extraordinarily serious and quiet.

Take a deep breath and let it out slowly. Lin Xi closed her eyes lightly, but opened them quickly after a while! There was no longer the calmness like the wind just now, under the bright and dazzling lighting, those long and narrow phoenix eyes were as dark as an abyss, with a sharp color and a cold expression.

A thick belt about three inches wide tightened the lean and powerful waist, and the capable white clothes made people move smoothly and unimpeded. Lin Xi stepped forward, turned his right wrist lightly, and drew a beautiful sword flower in the air. The sharp and cold blade rolled in the air. In the next second, before everyone expected it, the cold tip of the sword suddenly pointed at a bright red figure.

The tip of the sword grazed the air, and due to its rapid movement, it made a small sound of piercing the air.

The smooth and beautiful movements are mastered down to every detail, and the sharp sword tip is only less than five centimeters away from the opponent's chest! If you move forward an inch, you risk tearing your clothes.

Ye Yiyi was also taken aback for a moment, she opened her seductive peach eyes wide, and looked down at the sword pointing at her left chest. The sharp blade shone coldly under the strong lighting, and the long sword was half-raised in the air steadily, without a trace of trembling.

Seeing this familiar scene, Ye Yiyi was startled suddenly—

Even the angle at which she rotated the blade with the hilt in her hand was exactly the same as she remembered!

"Step Chuchu." A deep male voice suddenly sounded, and Ye Yiyi couldn't help looking up at the other party. There was a trace of grief and reluctance in that tone, mixed with complex anger and hatred.

The moment their eyes met, Ye Yiyi entered the scene. She raised her right hand and pointed at the other party with the bright red whip curled up in her palm. There was no expression on her soft face, only the fearlessness of despair.

"Chu Ge, you don't believe me." It was an affirmative sentence. With a resolute tone, the corners of Ye Yiyi's lips curled into a mocking arc, and he sneered, "In the past five years, I have been with you day and night, and I have never stepped into your Liancheng sect. How can I kill that old man? ?”

Hearing this, Lin Xi's clear and straight brows suddenly relaxed, and he suddenly let out a low laugh, and said, "Why do you go out of the valley on the fifteenth day of every month?" Although there was a smile on his face, his eyes couldn't be resolved. It was dark.

Ye Yiyi frowned, gritted her teeth and thought for a while, and finally said, "Trust me, Chu Ge."

"Hahahaha." The long Luoshui sword suddenly fell from the air, Lin Xi hung his right arm weakly, letting the sharp tip of the sword slide on the ground making an unpleasant sound. This ugly metal scratch was far less harsh than the harsh laughter in his throat. The slightly crazy laughter resounded throughout the room, but it stopped abruptly in an instant.

Lin Xi looked at Ye Yiyi calmly, and there was only death-like silence on his handsome face: "He is the one who gave birth to me and raised me. Without him, I would not be embarrassed." Lin Xi's words paused for a while, as if Give the other party one last chance to explain. After a while, Ye Yiyi's face was still heavy, and he lowered his head, unwilling to look up at him.

With a low cry of grief from his chest, Lin Xi smiled and said, "Bu Chuchu! I, Chu Ge, would die for you, and would be cast aside by the world for you! But, you should never kill my dearest love!" Dear Master!" After speaking, Lin Xi reached out his hand to the back of his head, tore off the jade crown that tied his hair and threw it aside, and his black hair was instantly scattered over his shoulders.

He quickly reached out and pulled a strand of jet-black hair, raised the Luoshui sword in his right hand, and cut off a section mercilessly. The hair slipped away from the palm and floated slowly in the air. All these actions happened only in an instant, making it impossible to react.

Ye Yiyi suddenly opened her beautiful eyes, as if she finally realized what happened. She immediately stepped forward, quickly grabbed the strand of hair in her palm, and exclaimed: "No! Chu Ge! You can't..."

"Bu Chuchu!" Lin Xi suddenly raised his voice, interrupting Ye Yiyi's words. He sneered, took a step back, and kept a distance of one meter from Ye Yiyi, and said indifferently: "I never regretted getting married with Qing that day. I will never regret breaking my will today! We will eventually As a husband and wife, even if you have been lurking so far only to seize my Central Plains martial arts, it is because I, Chu Ge, do not know people clearly, and it has nothing to do with you!"

Ye Yiyi stared at Lin Xi without blinking, still holding the strand of long hair tightly in her hands. Her charming and beautiful eyes were shining with unbelievable light at this moment, her eye sockets were flushed, and she didn't know that she was digging into her palm with sharp nails.

There was a pale and feeble smile on Lin Xi's lips, as if he was casting aside his once so stupid self. He shook his head slightly, his handsome face was calm and breezy, and there was no hatred anymore.

"Bu Chuchu, today I, Chu Ge, cut off my hair here, and I have no friendship with you anymore. The world is so big, let's... don't see each other again." After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, not even wanting to look at him from the corner of his eye. Ye Yiyi took a look.

Ye Yiyi's complexion turned pale suddenly, she bit her lower lip so hard that the originally bright red lips turned white. Even though Juemei's face was full of heartbreak and despair, she never yelled out a word.

He just kept watching that white figure, walking... farther and farther.

The room was immediately infected by a strong sense of sadness, even Wu Zhen pressed his red eye sockets, and coughed twice to cover up his gaffe.

Ye Yiyi had already stepped off the stage and sat beside Wu Zhen. After an audition, she looked at Lin Xi on the stage with complicated eyes, wondering what she was thinking.

In the end, Wu Zhen sighed heavily, turned his head and said, "Little demon girl, what else do you have to say this time?"

Ye Yiyi lowered her head and hid her expression in the shadow of the lamp. The blue hair on her temples fell with her movements and fell on her slender and tender shoulders. Black and white complement each other, beautiful and charming. After a long time, she let out a long sigh, looked up at Lin Xi who seemed to be on the stage with a normal and calm expression, and said, "Lin Xi, as far as the scene just now is concerned, you performed very well."

Lin Xi lowered his head slightly, the bright red slim figure was reflected in his light amber pupils. He didn't answer Ye Yiyi's words, because according to his understanding of Ye Yiyi, what she wanted to say would definitely not be just praise.

Sure enough, Ye Yiyi suddenly hooked her red lips again, shook her head, and said in a relaxed and helpless way: "But this is just one scene, not the whole movie. Can you really play Chu Ge? I want to tell you, in the first episode In the second movie, the relationship between Chu Ge and Bu Chuchu is by no means as simple as the love-hate entanglement in the first movie. There are also misunderstandings of life and death, and even martial arts righteousness. You are too young. Maybe in five years, I will personally The invitation letter is sent to you." The tone was regretful, with a hint of melancholy and sadness that was not easy to detect.

Lin Xi listened quietly to Ye Yiyi's last word, then shook her head with a smile, and said, "Bu Chuchu, the way you smirk is really hypocritical."

Ye Yiyi's beautiful eyes widened when she heard the words, she slapped the long table and got up, looked at Lin Xi with disbelief, and asked loudly, "What did you say?"

Lin Xi didn't answer her words, but just said with a light smile, "Sister Yiyi, no one knows Chu Ge better than me." In that understated tone, there was a confidence that Ye Yiyi felt familiar to the bone. .

Ye Yiyi stood there blankly, staring blankly at Lin Xi who was smiling on the stage. After a while, she slowly sat back on her chair, turned around and said to Wu Zhen, "Director Wu... I agree."

There was silence in the spacious audition room, only this soft female voice echoed slowly. Seeing Ye Yiyi's appearance, Wu Zhen shook his head helplessly. He naturally understood what this "Yin Ge Jue" represented to Ye Yiyi, and what kind of existence Chu Ge was to her.

Putting away the grief in his heart, Wu Zhen laughed out loud, waved his big hand heartily, and said to Lin Xi: "Lin Xi's audition is very good, it's okay to come to the crew for the opening ceremony next Wednesday, right?"

Lin Xi chuckled: "No problem, Mr. Wu."

After leaving the audition room, the bright and dazzling sunlight suddenly shone on Lin Xi's handsome face. He raised his left hand to cover the glare of the sun, and lowered his eyes to look at the ground. Under the cover of the shadow, those beautiful phoenix eyes had turned red at some point, and it was only because they were several meters away from Wu Zhen and the others that they were not noticed.

The fingers of his slender and graceful right hand clenched slightly in the air, as if he was stroking the cold and beautiful long sword. A wry smile crossed the corner of his mouth, Lin Xi sighed in his heart:

Who said that only Ye Yiyi was shocked

After five years of absence, when he saw those beautiful and enchanting peach blossom eyes again, he just felt... It really seemed like a lifetime away.

Laughing slightly self-deprecatingly, Lin Xi walked through several rooms and entered the dressing room.

What he didn't know was that the moment he stepped out of the audition room door, a tall man who had been hiding in the shadows walked up to Wu Zhen and Ye Yiyi on slender and elegant legs, and pulled the long table over. The chair on the far right that had been vacant all the time sat down slowly.

Wu Zhen was startled when he saw the person coming, and asked suspiciously, "Where did you come from?"

The man as handsome as a sculpture looked up at Wu Zhen, pointed to the small door at the other end of the room, and replied, "The door on the other side."

Wu Zhen muttered with a strange expression, and asked again: "How long have you been here, did you see the scene between Lin Xi and the little demon girl just now?"

As soon as these words came out, the clear and resolute eyebrows frowned slightly. Instead of answering Wu Zhen's question, the man turned to look at Ye Yiyi, who was silent, and asked in a low voice, "Do you think that's Chu Ge?"

These words seemed to have hit the opponent's deathbed, Ye Yiyi raised her head abruptly, there was still a hint of dazedness that was not fully awake in her beautifully curved peach eyes. She smiled wryly and opened her lips: "As Lin Xi said, no one knows Chu Ge better than him. The moment he raised his sword and pointed at me, I knew that he was the Chu Ge I was looking for."

After a pause, as if he suddenly thought of something, Ye Yiyi chuckled lightly and said:

"Uno, he looks more like Chu Ge than you."
