Chapter 83: Sure Win
Back in the lounge, Gao Hu and Chen Hao were speaking Qingdao dialect.

These two are not only alumni, but also fellow townsmen.

Seeing such a beautiful woman with a mouth full of the flavor of oysters, Zhang Yuan felt an indescribable sense of disobedience.

Seeing Zhang Yuan coming back, several people surrounded him.

"Why did you take so long?" Chen Hao frowned and took out a bag of tissues from his backpack.

That’s right, it’s in bags, not small packages. This person thinks the small packages are not cost-effective.

"Your head is full of sweat, wipe it off quickly."

"It allowed me to try out a fighting scene, so it took a long time." Zhang Yuan took the tissue and wiped it thoroughly.

"Have you ever practiced martial arts?" Gao Hu asked in surprise.

"I only know a little bit. I learned it from the previous crew."

Hearing him say this, Gao Hu breathed a sigh of relief.

If he is handsome, popular with girls, and also knows martial arts, then there will be no chance for the rest of us male actors to survive!

Fortunately, only “a little bit”.

A few of them started chatting casually.

Not long after, the staff came to inform us that the audition for today was over.

He also left the mobile phone numbers of Gao Hu, Chen Hao and Jiang Xin, saying that they would be notified of the address of the next audition.

However, Zhang Yuan and Yan Danchen did not receive such treatment.

Yan Danchen's face was gray. Her originally pretty oval face, which looked like a white and tender pumpkin seed, was now as black as a watermelon seed, as if it had been soaked in soy sauce.

She bit her lips tightly, her eyes revealing endless disappointment.

It’s not the disappointment in others and the crew, but in myself.

Everyone else got a second audition, but I... Oh, there's another one like me.

Yan Danchen looked at Zhang Yuan standing aside and found that the little brother looked calm, as if he didn't take the audition failure seriously at all.

"Zhang Yuan, how are you going to get there?"

Since they were both losers, she wanted to find comfort from Zhang Yuan, who was in the same boat with her.

"I'll go home and take a walk."

"That's great. I also want to take a few steps to relax." Yan Danchen stroked her bangs, full of charm.

"Don't be discouraged, there are plenty of crews available." Gao Hu comforted them.

"Yes, there are many opportunities, there is always one that suits you." Chen Hao stroked Yan Danchen's back.

But she understood that there were not many drama crews that were destined to be a big hit like "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".

"Zhang Yuan, let's have dinner together tonight."

Just then, the door of the lounge was pushed open, and Zhao Jian strode in, talking as he did so.

"Director Zhao!" Several people hurriedly greeted him.

"Hello, everyone." Zhao Jian's face flushed, as if he had just watched a good show, and he was extremely excited: "Zhang Yuan, you don't know, Lao Zhang and Lao Zhou just had a big fight because of you!"

Zhao Jian found a chair and sat down casually, and like a tabloid reporter, he described what had just happened in vivid detail.

Not long after Zhang Yuan left, Zhou Xiaowen thought that Zhang Da Huzi was obviously very satisfied with him, so he took advantage of the opportunity to pursue him, wanting to help Zhang Yuan take on the role of Xu Zhu.

But the bearded man immediately changed his attitude and said bluntly that Zhang Yuan was not suitable.

Zhou Xiaowen refused to accept and argued with him, but the bearded man just said one sentence.

"The character Xuzhu is described in the original novel as having upturned nostrils, ears sticking out of the wind, and very thick lips. Xiaoyaozi even said he was an ugly monk."

"Zhang Yuan is too handsome, so it's not suitable."

Zhou Xiaowen was stunned by what he said, and he couldn't refute it.

Then Lao Zhou said that Duan Yu was handsome and he was suitable.

But the bearded man immediately declined, saying that the investor had made arrangements for the role of Duan Yu and Zhang Yuan could not play it.

Zhou Xiaowen said again, then Murong Fu should be fine.

Zhang Jizhong said that he had made arrangements for the role of Murong Fu.

Zhou Xiaowen slammed the table at that moment!

"As the chief director, I don't even have the qualifications to select a cast, so why did you ask me to come to the audition?"

"Just arrange it yourself."

After saying that, Zhou Xiaowen stood up and left, but Zhao Jian and Yuan Bing, two old veterans, held back this bearded burly man.

Next, Zhang Jizhong and Zhou Xiaowen started to curse at each other on the spot, and the table was banged loudly.

When Zhao Jian was telling this story, his saliva was flying all over the place. Zhang Yuan wanted to hand him a piece of wine and let him go back to telling stories.

"Finally, maybe Lao Zhang and Lao Zhou were tired of arguing, so they started to discuss things properly."

"In the end, the main characters, Qiao Feng, Duan Yu, Azhu, and Wang Yuyan, are all in the hands of Lao Zhang, so Xiao Wen can only give his opinions."

"And I got the roles of Xu Zhu, Murong Fu, A Zi, and You Tanzhi."

After a little thought, Zhang Yuan realized that Zhou Xiaowen was actually brought in temporarily by Big Beard, and the original chief director was someone else.

Because of this, Zhou Xiaowen, knowing that the bearded man was overbearing, gave his own conditions, which was autonomy. Zhao Jian felt that the two had a big quarrel, but Zhang Yuan felt that they were just acting, and then used the quarrel as an excuse to distribute benefits and bargain with each other.

In Big Beard's mind, it goes without saying that Qiao Feng was chosen carefully, and Duan Yu is controlled by investors, so among the protagonists, the only one he could give up was Xu Zhu.

Gao Hu and Chen Hao, like Da Huzi, all graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, so they would definitely not be treated unfairly. After all, the entertainment industry is very concerned about family background.

Zhou Xiaowen was from the Beijing Film Academy gang, so he deliberately brought in Yan Danchen, who was his own person.

But in fact, it was a lie. Chen Hao was the "insider" who had really worked with Zhou Xiaowen, and Yan Danchen was just a cover.

Zhang Yuan thought to himself that although Zhou Xiaowen looked rough, he actually had a lot of thoughts.

Of course, even a fool can't be a director, Du Men Qing.

It’s just that Zhang Yuan’s performance was beyond the expectations of Big Beard and Zhou Xiaowen, so the quarrel that was always bound to break out broke out with him as the starting point.

"Maybe I am just like Yan Danchen, originally just a bonus."

In Tian Ji's horse racing game, inferior horses are needed in the game. He and Yan Danchen should be Zhou Xiaowen's "inferior horses".

The entertainment industry is very cruel.

But he didn't expect that Zhang Yuan's inferior horse would become a black horse as soon as it left the pen.

That's the real dark horse!

"What about Zhang Yuan now..." Gao Hu asked timidly.

"Oh, by the way, you have to thank Xiaowen. The Murong Fu he fought for you should be almost there." Zhao Jian smiled and took the cigarette handed to him by Zhang Yuan.

After hearing what Zhao Jian said, Yan Danchen's pretty face became even gloomier.

"It turns out that I am the only one who was eliminated."

Gao Hu and Chen Hao were also quite surprised.

We were both chatting non-stop just now, trying to comfort people.

It turned out that we had only entered the second round, but others had already successfully passed the level.

Chen Hao raised her charming eyes and looked Zhang Yuan up and down, re-examining this handsome little brother.

"The third time." Then she held her chin with one hand and spoke charmingly.

"What?" Zhang Yuan asked puzzledly.

"I said, you have auditioned three times and succeeded three times, your record has been refreshed again."

Gao Hu, Jiang Xin, and Yan Danchen also reacted and cast envious glances at him.

Yes, even for those of us who graduated from professional colleges, if we can get one out of ten crews to interview, we would be very lucky.

People like Jiang Xin who don't have a top-notch academic background are in an even more difficult situation. After all, the Central Academy of Drama and the Beijing Film Academy not only provide academic qualifications, but also bring top resources and connections in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Sometimes she auditioned with dozens of crews in a month, but all failed. She was so anxious that she hid in bed and cried.

There are indeed very few people like Zhang Yuan who have won three prizes in a row. They are both envious and jealous.

"Zhang Yuan, do you have a cell phone?" Chen Hao took out his Nokia, which, like Zhang Yuan's, was also a bit old.

"Yes, this is my number."

At this moment, everyone in the room exchanged phone numbers with each other for the convenience of future contact.

After chatting for a few more minutes, everyone decided to go their separate ways.

Yan Danchen picked up her bag and was about to leave with her head down.

"Sister Danchen, didn't we just agree to go for a walk together?"

Hearing Zhang Yuan's call, she turned around: "But you..."

"Do you dislike me?" Zhang Yuan joked.

"No." At this moment, she finally showed a long-lost smile, and the frustration of failing the audition was mostly gone.

She originally thought that since they were both wanderers in the world, it would be a good idea for them to relax together.

But now the opponent not only did not lose, but got the role in advance. She thought, I, a stray dog, might as well leave alone.

But Zhang Yuan's insistence on accompanying her made her feel a little warm, and her mood improved a lot.

Zhang Yuan’s idea was very simple.

In "Dream of Red Mansions", Jia's mother once said.

"Not to mention eating it, even smelling it can help prolong your life."

Lady Jia was talking about the sachet, while Zhang Yuan was looking at Yan Danchen.

Even if you can't eat, it's still great to watch along the way.

Besides, what if I get to eat it someday?

The two walked and chatted all the way until they sent each other back to the rental house in the city.

Then I went to Guangde Building, but the audience listening to crosstalk was still sparse.

In a blink of an eye, it was the time he had agreed with Zhao Jian, and he rushed to Zhou Xiaowen's banquet...

　It will be on the shelves tomorrow. Please give me a first order. Thank you in advance.
