CH 3

In the spacious interior, many young people in their twenties were sitting scattered. Some were whispering, some were reciting their lines, and some were playing with their mobile phones.

Tang Ziyou sat in the corner, looking at the people in front of him. Some of them knew him, some didn’t.

WeChat rang, Tang Ziyou clicked to open it. It was Liu Xu: [Don’t be nervous. Your image is good enough and your acting skills are good. These people can’t compare to you.]

She said and added, “The director should like you quite a lot. Li Ke contacted the crew earlier than you, but he is not on the audition list today. It shows that you still have a good chance.”

Tang Ziyou replied: [I’m not nervous, I just haven’t experienced it. I’m a little curious.]

Liu Xu looked at the news from him and laughed.

Tang Ziyou’s first play was to take the company’s resources. There was no audition and only tried the costume play, decided directly.

Seriously, this was his first audition.

The staff came in and shouted, “Tang Ziyou.”

Tang Ziyou stood up and walked out with the staff.

Someone in the room whispered, “It’s really him. I said it looks like him.”

“Fuck, so is he coming back?”

“It’s been almost three years and I don’t know if his acting skills are still there.”

“His acting skills are just average.”

The actors who waited in the room communicated in a low voice. The staff who took him in also communicated with his colleagues after Tang Ziyou entered the audition room.

“I thought I was wrong, but I didn’t think it was really Tang Ziyou.”

“Does he want to make a comeback?” The male colleague said.

“Now he comes back, does he still have a place in the entertainment industry?” The female colleague disdained him.

“As long as he has a successful audition for this play, there must be a place for him in the entertainment industry.”

“But why did he succeed in the audition? There are so many people who come to the audition. Some are more handsome than him and some are redder than him. What does he have? Does he still have a glorious history of three years that had hidden in the snow?”

“You don’t seem to like him very much, Zhang Li.”

Zhang Li hesitated. Of course, she didn’t like Tang Ziyou. She is Li Ke’s fan. It was strange that she would like Tang Ziyou.

“On his dying performance that was so bad three years ago, after three years, it will only get worse. It’s humiliating to let him go to match Brother Shan. If he has a little self-knowledge, he should go away as soon as possible.”

The male colleague liked Zhang Li and he immediately agreed, “That’s it. I think he will definitely not pass the audition, just one cannon fodder.”

“Sure.” Zhang Li said.

Shan Qikun watched Tang Ziyou walking in and proudly sent a message to Gu Jiuci: [What should you do if Tang Ziyou really comes to audition?]

Gu Jiuci vowed: [Why are you so stubborn? I told you that it’s impossible and you still ask, don’t you know he hates you?]

Shan Qikun picked up his phone, took a picture while Tang Ziyou was not paying attention, and sent it directly to Gu Jiuci.

Shan Qikun: [Picture]

Shan Qikun: [See for yourself who this is.]

Gu Jiujiu Ci: ! ! !

Gu Jiuci looked at the photo sent by Shan Qikun in shock, which was unbelievable.

He quickly found a reason for Tang Ziyou: [He is just doing a show and making a tantrum with me. You see, he will audition for a while. He definitely doesn’t play well, so he can just play around.]

Shan Qikun was very suspicious: [Really?]

Gu Jiuci: [Nonsense, do you know him or do I know him? I know him too well, okay!?]

Shan Qikun: [Then what if he plays well?]

Gu Jiuci: [Then he won’t sign a contract. He is just angry with me. He doesn’t really suddenly become ambitious.]

Shan Qikun: [Then what if he signs a contract?]

Gu Jiuci: [Impossible.]

Shan Qikun: [You said that yesterday, what happened? Single Jiuci [funny]]

Gu Jiuci: ……

Gu Jiuci frowned, what’s the matter? What the hell is Tang Ziyou doing?

It was not enough to get caught. Did he still want to attract his attention in this way?

He still really made a lot of trouble.

Gu Jiuci: [If he really signs a contract, then I wish him a good start, and I will give you a platform at that time.] (Gu Jiuci promised Shan Qikun, they will perform in a movie or drama together if Tang Ziyou signs the contract)

Shan Qikun slapped his tongue, this is really a big gift. The gimmick that he and Gu Jiuci were on the same stage would be enough to make a lot of space.

Shan Qikun looked at Tang Ziyou. It was really exciting.

Tang Ziyou looked at Shan Qikun and Director Wang, bowed politely and introduced himself to them.

The director said with a smile, “Although I haven’t watched your previous performance of《Snow is Not Too Late》, but I’ve heard it. It’s very popular.”

“Thank you.”

“Then why didn’t you continue filming after that?”

Tang Ziyou calmly said, “I have lived with my grandfather since I was a child. Soon after the broadcast of《Snow is Not Too Late》, my grandpa suffered from a physical problem. I temporarily stopped working to take care of him. Until now, I started working again.”

“Then is your grandpa’s health better?” Director Wang asked casually.

Shan Qikun secretly said the reason.

In the next second, he saw Tang Ziyou lose in thought for a moment and quickly recovered his calm on his face, “My grandfather has left.”

“I’m sorry.” Director Wang whispered.

He looked at Tang Ziyou, “Are you here to audition for Sheng Feiguang? Did you read the script fragment sent to you by the staff in the waiting room before? Do you remember it?”

“I remember.”

“That’s good.” He turned his head to look at Shan Qikun, “Teacher Shan, please cooperate.”

“Good.” Shan Qikun got up.

Tang Ziyou turned his head to look at him. He was actually very familiar with Shan Qikun or even, too familiar with him.

After his retirement, he was idle and happy to take care of Gu Jiuci. He often made statistics for Gu Jiuci’s rankings, set out to watch movies, bought magazines, and so on about him.

In the beginning, he was only active on Gu Jiuci’s Weibo with a small account.

A big fan of Gu Jiuci came to him, and then slowly, he became one of the big fans of Gu Jiuci. He even became the manager of Gu Jiuci’s fan group.

Shan Qikun, as Gu Jiuci’s rival, was said to be one of the male stars he knew best besides Gu Jiuci.

Gu Jiuci’s fans were called Shan Jiaju (单家军, single-family army, I’m not sure about this meaning), and Shan Qikun’s fans called themselves Shan Shuijun (单水军, single water army or navy).

Gu Jiuci’s fans were called Red Wine, and Shan Qikun’s fans called themselves Erguotou (a Chinese liquor, a type of light-aroma baijiu made from sorghum).

Now that he had not encountered the navy in this bottle of Erguotou, he had encountered the hero of the navy. Tang Ziyou was a little guilty, pulling his vest tightly for fear of revealing his fox tail. 　　 　　

“It’s hard work, Teacher Shan.”

Shan Qikun smiled, “It’s okay.”

It was an ancient costume fairy tale drama.

Shan Qikun, such a movie king, suddenly went down to perform in TV dramas and people paid full attention to him. It was no wonder that everyone was willing to match him and audition for his supporting role.

This was simply like a blast. You could get acquainted with him and expand the resources of the movie circle, no matter how you wouldn’t lose.

Tang Ziyou auditioned for the third male in the play, Sheng Feiguang, Fu Yongsi’s apprentice.

Of course, Shan Qikun played Fu Yongsi, a chivalrous man who was indifferent in appearance, gentle in heart, and radiant in adversity, supplemented by a beautiful and tragic life experience.

In this play, Fu Yongsi was a talented and intelligent person, but he had to leave his sect because he was envied by his classmates and killed his teacher.

After he was seriously injured, he met Sheng Feiguang, whose young parents had both died. With compassion, Fu Yongsi rescued Sheng Feiguang and passed on his immortality.

More than ten years have passed, Sheng Feiguang had grown up, and Fu Yongsi had also established a sect, ready to wash away his grievances and avenge his master.

But what he didn’t expect was that his master was not as upright and caring for him as he thought. The last evidence of the fact that he killed the master was his last words before his death. (Fu Yongsi was being framed by his teacher I suppose)

For instant, Fu Yongsi was pointed out by thousands of people again and at this moment, Sheng Feiguang decided to become possessed.

Fu Yongsi tried his best to stop Sheng Feiguang, who wanted to avenge his parents.

When he was about to die, he gave Sheng Feiguang his heart clock to protect his life.

Sheng Feiguang leaned on this heart clock, did not completely escape into the evil way, and still left his self-consciousness.

But Fu Yongsi suffered a great loss in his cultivation and was trapped in prison.

The segment that Tang Ziyou would try this time was that Sheng Feiguang broke through the demons and rescued Fu Yongsi, only to find that Fu Yongsi had lost his memory and did not remember him at all.

Shan Qikun stood not far from Tang Ziyou and asked him, “Do you need to prepare?”

Tang Ziyou shook his head.

He lowered his head and was silent for a moment. When he raised his head again, his eyes and face had changed.

He looked at Shan Qikun from a distance, feeling guilty, uneasy, regretful, and sad, yet he hid a trace of admiration. He walked up to Shan Qikun a few steps, trying to reach out his hand, but he didn’t dare to touch him. He could only call: “Master.”

Shan Qikun didn’t expect him to enter the play so quickly, he was a little surprised, but he calmly continued with his lines, “Who are you?”

Tang Ziyou was frightening and said, “I am Xiao Guang, Master. I’m here to save you.”

Shan Qikun frowned, seeming to recall, “I don’t know you.”

“Are you angry with me?” Tang Ziyou asked.

He looked at Shan Qikun in front of him, but his mind was Fu Yongsi, who had been wounded in the script.

He seemed to be unable to bear it. He wanted to touch his master, but he didn’t dare. He simply stepped back and knelt down.

This kneeling was not on the script. Therefore, the director was a little surprised and looked at him carefully.

Tang Ziyou looked up at Shan Qikun and his eyes were full of tears. Shan Qikun stared intently, only to realize that there were tears in his eyes.

His eyes were very good-looking, with double eyelids. The tails of his eyes were raised, forming a beautiful arc. His eyes were very bright like the first snow. When there was a thin layer of tears in his eyes, it felt like water is shaking and crystal clear like ice song.

Shan Qikun looked at his eyes and for a moment, he realized Fu Yongsi’s soft-heartedness.

Tang Ziyou’s performance was very fast. He finished the audition very smoothly. Director Wang said, “You added an action. There was no kneeling in the script.”

Tang Ziyou nodded, “But for Sheng Feiguang, Fu Yongsi is the existence of his father, brother, friend, and the light in his heart. In that case, he just stood and couldn’t express the guilt in his heart. Therefore, admitting his mistakes by kneeling is more in line with his state of mind.”

The director smiled, “It seems that you quite have your own ideas.”

“It’s my little humble opinion.”

“Not bad.” Director Wang nodded and let him leave.

* * *

Zhang Li saw him coming out and deliberately mocked, “You are quite fast, there was an actor who stayed in for more than an hour yesterday, I guess Director Wang was very satisfied with him.”

Tang Ziyou looked at her and asked, “Are you sure that he just didn’t remember his lines, so he recited the lines for a while?”

This was a real question. Director Wang and Shan Qikun had both asked him just now, are you ready?

It could be seen that if they were not ready, they should give the actors some time to prepare.

However, Zhang Li thought he was taunting herself and counterattacked, “Of course not. People can act much better than you. Let me say, this competition is so big. You are like cannon fodder at best. From the beginning you came out of the door, Teacher Shan and Director Wang probably don’t even remember what you called.”

Tang Ziyou felt that she was a little strange. She said this at the first meeting. It seemed that she didn’t like him before.

But it was not his territory, so he didn’t bother to argue and turned around to leave.

Zhang Li looked at him triumphantly, her eyes full of sarcasm. She didn’t believe that Tang Ziyou could get this opportunity. This opportunity must belong to Li Ke!

She thought so and when she turned her head, she saw Shan Qikun opening the door and walking out.

Zhang Li immediately went up and said, “Teacher Shan, why did you come out? Is there something wrong?”

Shan Qikun ignored her and shouted, “Tang Ziyou.”

Tang Ziyou turned his head in surprise and heard Shan Qikun say: “It just so happens that you haven’t gone far, so don’t worry about today. If you have time, I want to talk to you alone.”

Zhang Li: ……

Tang Ziyou: ! ! !

At this time, did Shan Qikun want to fix him or eliminate him?

He probably didn’t know that he had once helped Gu Jiuci wave a cheer on the Internet, raised his arms, rushed to his fan circle, beat his fans crying and ran away, right?

Tang Ziyou was very guilty, Tang Ziyou was very nervous.

“Good.” Tang Ziyou obediently said.

The author has something to say:

Xiao You: I’ve already taken off from Gu Jiuci’s fan! Can I turn to Shan Qikun’s fan now?!

Gu Jiuci: ! ! ! No way!

Shan Qikun: How can you speak, of course.

Xiao You: [Relaxed.jpg]

Gu Jiuci: I said no!!

Shan Qikun: Does anyone care what you say?

Xiao You: No.

Gu Jiuci: …… [Two eyes and one black.jpg]
