Chapter 14: Beautiful girl is interested in me?
"Hey! The girl smiled at me. Is she interested in me?"

Wang Yaoyang was actually a little shy and fell into fantasy.

Du Sheng was afraid of being infected, so he sat further away and looked around.

There were more than a dozen actors sitting in the corridor at this time, some of whose faces seemed familiar in vague memory, as if they had appeared in some film and television works.

But the only person whose name Du Sheng could call out clearly was Qiu Qing, who was sitting in the corner.

There are twelve people, probably all auditioning for the role of Murong Fu, which shows how fierce the competition is.

And except for a few, most of them have played some roles.

However, the one with the most fame and experience is none other than Qiu Qing.

Because his last film was The Legend of the Condor Heroes, produced by Zhang Zhizong, he was considered the dark horse with the greatest potential to win the role.

Although there were more than ten people sitting in the corridor, no one was talking and the atmosphere was a bit tense.

Du Sheng knew very well that many of these people were like him, and were sent in by investors or producers.

At the very least, one can only obtain the qualification for internal auditions through the relationship with the director or producer.

If he wants to stand out, he must show more to impress the crew.

The good news is that Zhang Da Huzi is still in the hospital and can’t come.

He just needs to impress the chief director and three other directors.

After waiting for twenty minutes, the audition finally began.

The two actors were led into the styling room by the staff, but did not return. It was obvious that they left directly after the audition.

Then the third, the fourth...

"Next one, Qiu Qing."

As Qiu Qing left, the tense atmosphere in the corridor grew thicker.

Because many people have heard that Qiu Qing had already been selected by Zhang Zhizong...

In fact, after Qiu Qing finished putting on makeup and entered the audition room, he was also shocked after seeing the situation clearly.

Zhang Zhizong didn’t come!
Director Yu Min, who had high hopes for him, just sat beside him.

But coincidentally, the overwhelmed producer Zhang had just finished dealing with numerous annoying trivial matters, and suddenly remembered that he had to audition several important supporting roles today, and was about to make a phone call to ask.

Bang!

The door of the ward opened, and an expressionless woman appeared in front of him.

Producer Zhang dialed the number slowly, and said with some surprise:
"Xinman, why are you here?"

The person who came was his newly married wife Fan Xinman.

Fan Xinman threw a stack of things on the table and stared at the man in front of her with great disappointment:

"Didn't you say that the pictures on the Internet were fabricated by Sheng'an? How do you explain these?"

Zhang Zhizong looked subconsciously and saw that they were all high-definition and uncensored photos!

It's much higher resolution than those pixelated ones on the Internet.

Even the little beans and little Ding Ding can be seen.

He was speechless for a moment, and no longer had the energy to care about the audition.

……

Five minutes later, the door of the styling room opened again.

A young man came out and shouted:
"Du Sheng! Is Du Sheng here?"

Du Sheng immediately stood up and said:
"here."

"come in!"

The young man gestured.

Du Sheng finally felt relieved. He was really worried that the staff would suddenly announce that everyone should leave, saying that Murong Fu's role had been confirmed.

Now it seems that there is hope.

Wang Yaoyang also stood up, and said seriously:

"Go, I believe in you."

Du Sheng nodded without saying anything, took a deep breath, and followed the young man into the styling room.

This is a spacious three-room room, mainly divided into three parts. On the left side of the door is the audition room, on the right side are various weapons and equipment, and in the middle are the clothes racks and dressing rooms. Not only Murong Fu but also several other characters are auditioned here.

Walking into the styling room, Du Sheng didn't think any more and just followed the crew's instructions.

Under the guidance of a costume designer, he picked out a well-fitting ancient-style gown and received a belt, headgear, etc.

Then I went to a dressing room and changed my clothes with the help of a costume designer.

This is just a simple styling and won’t take much time.

Soon, Du Sheng looked completely refreshed.

The costume designer looked around him a few times, her beautiful eyes lit up and she nodded frequently.

The right-front, cross-collared long gown Du Sheng was wearing was quite similar to the one Qiu Qing had chosen earlier.

It was the same deep blue gown, and the texture of the gauze was exactly the same.

His hairstyle is similar to Qiu Qing's. His long, smooth hair is half tied up in a half bun, making him look handsome and free and easy overall.

but……

His upper body effect and temperament are completely different from Qiu Qing.

He has broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and his posture is as straight as a pine tree. His clothes flutter as he walks, and he looks like a handsome knight walking out of an ancient painting.

The stylist's heartbeat quickened and her beautiful eyes lit up.

Isn’t this before and after comparison a bit too obvious?

She didn't expect that the same style could have such a big difference.

Du Sheng was also quite satisfied, knowing that this was mostly due to the optimization of his "body shape and posture".

"Wait over there for a moment. It should be your turn for the audition soon."

Everyone loves beauty. The stylist pointed to the audition room on her left and spoke in a more relaxed tone.

Du Sheng nodded in thanks and waited at the door.

As the audition process progressed, the actors who had entered previously came out one after another.

They were in different moods, some were dejected, some were full of joy, and some were calm and composed...

But no matter how they performed, they all took off their makeup and left the styling room.

Surprisingly, Qiu Qing did not come out.

But Du Sheng had no time to care about these things because the assistant came out and read out his name.

Du Sheng calmed his breathing a little, raised his head and chest, then pushed the door and walked in.

Then he took a quick glance and found that in addition to the four directors Zhou Yaowen, Ju Jueliang, Yu Min and Zhao Jian, Qiu Qing was actually standing not far away.

Du Sheng's expression didn't change because he noticed Ju Jueliang nodded slightly.

This means Qiu Qing is still to be determined.

If there is no more suitable candidate next, it will basically be settled.

Zhou Yaowen sat behind the monitor and had been taciturn since the audition began, but the brief comments he occasionally left on the actor's information were enough to decide the fate of each actor.

Because he is not only the chief director, but also the most powerful person in the crew besides Zhang Zhizong.

This time, "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" was changed to a revised version, and the reason why Qiao Feng became the core male protagonist was because of the suggestion he made to Jin Yong.

In fact, even the Best Actress award that was previously confirmed was not Liu Yifei at the beginning.

Instead, they are popular actresses such as Kim Hee Sun, Huang Yi, Xu Jinglei, and Jiang Qinqin.

Especially Kim Hee Sun. Korean wave was popular that year and investors really liked the Korean actress to play Wang Yuyan, but Zhou Yaowen refused.

Zhou Yaowen's reasons were very straightforward.

How could Kim Hee Sun, who doesn’t understand Xia language and knows nothing about the East, perfectly interpret the role of Wang Yuyan?
Huang Yi, Xu Jinglei, and Jiang Qinqin were similarly rejected by Zhou Yaowen.

The reasons are that Xu Jinglei's acting skills are too poor, Huang Yi is too ugly, and Jiang Qinqin looks old in ancient costume.

I have to say, this director who started out as a filmmaker is really bold!

This also shows the power of life and death.
