Old Mr. Chu was so angry that he almost had a heart attack.

"What are you talking about? Chu Beize! What are you doing wrong? Are you an actor? Do you have acting skills? Do you know what the entertainment industry is all about?"

Mr. Chu asked aggressively.

Chu Beize seemed to feel that his old man's question was untenable, but out of respect for the old man, he still replied softly: "I have money."

Mr. Chu: "..."

Chu Beize added: "I can invest in the lead role myself."

Mr. Chu hung up the call of the unworthy descendants before the myocardial infarction.

"Just go and act! Little bastard! I think you can make yourself the best actor?!"

Chu Beize smiled lowly.

Since Xie Xiangzhi was rumored to be filming a TV series, his private messages have been filled with messages of "self-recommendation" from celebrities, big and small.

Ten thousand steps back, even if Xie Xiang knows that this TV series has no hope, it is always good to take the opportunity to make a connection in front of him.Maybe Director Xie's next movie will be starring himself - at least it will be nominated for Best Leading Role in major film festivals.

Who wouldn't want a layer of gold on their resume?

Xie Xiangzhi snorted, moved his finger, and cleared the private message.

Xie Xiangzhi packed up and was ready to go out to cast a role. Chen Jingyu had already called seven or eight urging people.

"Thank you, Director! Thank you, Director! Don't even look at what time it is now! Where do you think City B is? Now the viaduct on the east side of the city can't pass for half an hour! There are still two hundred people waiting for you today. This great director came to audition!"

Chen Jingyu stood outside the venue and called Xie Xiangzhi. God knows how hard it took him to restrain himself from yelling at Xie Xiangzhi.

The lead actress Xu Yinzhi, who was selected first and then pulled over to select, was sitting peacefully on a chair, holding a thermos, pretending not to hear the growl of the producer.Xu Yinzhi felt as if she was overwhelmed by the fact that she was about to meet this famous director who was unattainable in various media reports and under the spotlight.

She is a third-year student at the Film Academy in City B, and only has experience in acting in school stage plays. This time, she only saw the trending searches on Weibo, and voted in the information with the mood of buying a lottery ticket.

In the end, the lottery ticket she bought actually won... Ah, no, anyway, one week after she handed over the information, at noon one day, the producer in front of her contacted her and told her that she was very suitable for the heroine image in Dao Xie's heart.

Xu Yinzhi, who was dizzy from being hit by the pie from the sky, didn't think much about whether Chen Jingyu was a liar, and signed the contract with him excitedly.

During the whole process, the high-ranking Director Xie never showed his face, and decided to use her just after seeing the photo she had put in the audition materials.

After waking up, she nervously asked Chen Jingyu that her acting skills were not good, and whether Director Xie would change because of this.

Chen Jingyu was very calm: "The contract has been signed, and now I will lose money if I change people. Besides, our director Xie doesn't value acting skills at all. Anyway, in his eyes, most people's acting skills are worse than none."

Xu Yinzhi asked stupidly: "Then what is Director Xie looking at?"

"Look at your face." Chen Jingyu made a final decision, "Don't think about your acting skills, it's better to do some psychological counseling before joining the group, so as not to be scolded by Xie Xiangzhi and doubt life after joining the group."

When Xu Yinzhi heard the words, she couldn't help drawing a picture of a vigorous and serious director in her mind.

She shivered, and ran away holding the script Chen Jingyu sent her.

Today's casting audition was the first time she met Director Xie.

Xu Yinzhi took another sip of water as she thought about it.

After Xie Xiangzhi locked the door, he spared no time to answer the producer's question: "Oh, I'll take the subway. I can arrive three to five minutes earlier."

Chen Jingyu: "..."

At ten o'clock in the morning, the casting officially began.

Xie Xiangzhi walked in low-key from the side door while avoiding the black audition staff. Chen Jingyu, who was still on the phone, saw him, heaved a sigh of relief, hung up the phone and walked over.

"Grandfather, you are finally here."

As he spoke, he waved to Xu Yinzhi again, "This is the heroine you chose, Xu Yinzhi, a junior at B City Film Academy."

"Xiao Xu, this is Director Xie."

Xu Yinzhi squeezed her sleeve nervously, and stretched out her hand: "Director Xie, hello."

This Director Xie is several times more beautiful than the photos circulating on the Internet!No wonder there are so many scandals!

Xie Xiangzhi sized her up from top to bottom with estimating eyes, and then casually said, "How is your study?"

Xu Yinzhi: "...Huh??"

"It will take about four months to film this TV series, so if you delay your four-month course, will you fail?"

Xu Yinzhi immediately shook her head: "No, no, I can study well."

"That's fine." Xie Xiangzhi nodded, and continued mercilessly: "You still have to lose weight."

Xu Yinzhi: "..."

Seeing her indescribable expression, Xie Xiangzhi licked the corner of his lower lip in a good mood: "You look good in reality at your current weight, but the effect on the screen... probably means that Baozi has a human face."

Xu Yinzhi: "..." Killing people, Director Xie is really a ruthless man.

Xie Xiangzhi glanced at his watch, it was almost time. "Have you memorized the lines assigned to you? We'll be playing against each other later."

Chen Jingyu had explained this to her, and Xu Yinzhi never dared to be careless, and had already memorized the script by heart. "I recited it! But Director Xie, I'm not good at acting... Is it really okay to play with people?"

It's not that Xu Yinzhi is self-effacing, she really has nothing to show for it except her face.

Xie Xiangzhi unbuttoned the sleeves, and slowly turned up the cufflinks, exposing a section of white and strong forearm to the air.

"Do you think that group of people outside can be better than you?"

Xu Yinzhi: Try to keep smiling.

I don't know who are you mocking?

Xie Xiangzhi sat down at the main seat, and told the assistants beside him: "There are too many people. Tell anyone who came to audition for the heroine outside to leave."

Xie Xiangzhi asked Chen Jingyu only to find out that this guy has not made an announcement stating that the heroine candidate has been confirmed.

Chen Jingyu said awkwardly, "Aren't I dizzy now?"

Xie Xiangzhi didn't care whether he was really dizzy or not, and continued to say to his assistant: "Today's audition for the heroine can be reimbursed for the round-trip travel expenses, and it will be credited to Chen Jingyu's account, and the public account will not be used."

"You are also a famous director, can you stop being so picky?" Chen Jingyu slapped the table and stood up.

Xie Xiangzhi looked at him, and suddenly his smile became brighter: "It's ten o'clock sharp, and it's time to start casting."

Chen Jingyu: Shit!

The assistant wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and hurried out with a stack of roster papers to announce Director Xie's decision.

There were quite a few people who came to audition for the heroine, and when they heard that they hadn't even met the director, they had to go home, and they were full of complaints.

Among this group of people there is even a very popular little flower who made her debut in puppet dramas and became famous. Her own temperament is also rather cold. She is known as the "fairyland outside the world".

She aimed at Xie Xiangzhi's drama, after all, anyone with a discerning eye could see that this drama has the potential to be a big hit, if she can win, her position in the entertainment industry will be stable.

She turned her face cold with dissatisfaction: "Director Xie said we won't meet if we don't want to meet, so many of us are lucky enough to come here, so we have to give an explanation, right?" She didn't put on the air of a big star , Now it is pulling a group of people into the same front, and I want Xie Xiangzhi to give an explanation.The so-called law does not blame the public, even if Xie Xiangzhi knows it, he can't say anything.

The assistant wants you to explain that you should go to Director Xie, what does it have to do with me as a handyman.

"If Director Xie doesn't give us an explanation, we won't leave!" I don't know who took the lead in the booing, and the momentum gradually intensified, and even some people who were not the hostess who came to meet began to leave.

The sound insulation effect of the venue was not good, Xie Xiangzhi sat inside for a while before hearing the noise outside.Xu Yinzhi heard it too, she was so nervous that tears rolled in her eyes, but she was afraid of losing her composure, so she forced her back.

"Go back and practice how to cry in front of the mirror." Xie Xiangzhi glanced at her lightly, "There are a lot of crying scenes in the drama, if you cry like this, it will be made into a documentary instead of a fairy tale drama."

Xu Yinzhi: "...Okay, thank you, Director."

It's no wonder Director Xie has so many gossips, but he doesn't have a real partner. Except Yangou who only looks at his face, who can stand his temper.

She took out a tissue and thought secretly while wiping her tears.

"I'll go and have a look." Xie Xiangzhi kicked away the chair, picked up a handful of materials on the table, glanced at Chen Jingyu from the corner of his eyes, and with a faint smile, Xie Chen Jingyu shivered.

A group of people gathered at the door, pushing and shoving, and were pressing the hapless assistant.

Xie Xiangzhi opened the door, glanced lazily at the first sheet of the paper file in his hand, and looked up at the crowded crowd: "Lian Fei Group, the first one, Chen Shuilu, come in!"

As soon as he made a sound, the noisy crowd immediately fell silent.

A girl wearing a blue polo shirt and jeans squeezed out of the crowd.

Xie Xiangzhi nodded to him: "Go in first."

He glanced at the besieged assistant again: "You go in too."

The assistant finally relaxed, copied the materials in his arms, and hurried into the venue.

"I heard that you need to explain." Xie Xiangzhi was not too angry. After all, Chen Jingyu was at fault for this matter. He treated people like idiots. These people have worked so hard to wait in line here for the audition, and they are very dissatisfied. normal.

"There is nothing to explain. The heroine has found the right one. Even if I try, I won't choose you. There is no need to waste time." Xie Xiangzhi lazily leans against the door, not like a stable and mature director in his 30s, " But making you wait here is indeed a mistake on the part of the crew, and I can apologize."

"After the list of actors is announced, if you feel that you are better looking than the heroine I selected, you can come to me and try again." There was a slight smile in his voice.

But what he said was almost like saying "ugly people are not worthy to speak in front of me".

Xu Ziyan, the leader of the popular little flower, blinked her eyes when she heard the words, walked out from behind the crowd, and said, "Director Xie's words are biased, right? Shouldn't the most important thing in choosing an actor be acting skills?"

Xie Xiangzhi curled his lower lip: "Maybe other directors value acting skills, but I only care about faces. Acting skills can be taught, but faces can't be taught."

"Acting skills can make up for a lot of things, but the fact that you don't look good...no matter what you can't make up for it."

"After all, the audience is not blind."

"However, I was surprised that Ms. Xu talked about acting with me. So Ms. Xu considers herself an actress?" Xie Xiangzhi raised his eyebrows pretending to be surprised, and there was a faint low laughter around him because of his words.

What fell into Xu Ziyan's ears was a bright ridicule.

Xu Ziyan's face turned pale, and Xie Xiangzhi's words basically declared that she had no chance of being in the mainstream film industry, and it would definitely have a blow to her rising career.

"It's getting late, and I still have to watch the actors audition. I've said everything I need to say, and the crew will release relevant statements later, so I won't accompany you all."

……

Without Xu Ziyan taking the lead to stir up people's hearts, the remaining young actors who are fledgling will never find trouble with the crew. After all, it is normal for actors who are not well-known to be put down by the crew. Although it may not be correct, few people dare to violate them under the current rules .

So Xie Xiangzhi unceremoniously took Xu Ziyan under the knife.

After choosing the actors for a day, Xu Yinzhi also performed dozens of scenes in person, her throat was about to smoke.She figured it out, although the three of them auditioned actors here in name, but in fact they were all talking. Chen Jingyu usually didn't express her own opinions, and she was just called to act as a supporting role.

The crew should pay more!Big loss!she thought angrily.

The casting of other roles went relatively smoothly, except that the leading actor, Prince Xue Huaibi, and the artist who drew the fairy in the painting of stunning beauties had difficulties.

After watching the actors he had selected, Chen Jingyu thought it was still necessary to choose a popular actor among the leading roles.

Xie Xiangzhi smiled lightly and unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle, saying meaningfully, "Can you afford it?"

The worth of popular traffic can start at tens of millions for a drama.

"A few said they were willing to lower their social status." Seeing that Xie Xiangzhi seemed to be willing to let go, Chen Jingyu said immediately with a lot of excitement.

Obviously he is the investor and producer, why doesn't he have any say in the crew? !

Xie Xiangzhi smiled and waved: "Next."

Chen Jingyu: Shit!

Xu Yinzhi drank several sips of water in silence, making sure that she still had the strength to speak after the audition.But one thing is true - the actors who came to audition, even if they are popular, their acting skills are not much better than hers.

Inexplicably a little swollen.

Chu Beize had been waiting outside for a day, and there were not many people left at this time. Comparing the number plate in his hand, he was sure that it was him, so he tidied up his appearance and entered the venue.

Chen Jingyu flipped through this person's profile, and the more he looked at it, the more amazed he became - "This person is... graduated from Harvard Business School, and his internship experience is... engaged in venture capital on Wall Street? What is such an elite doing in the entertainment industry?"

Holding the glass of water, Xu Yinzhi answered casually, "Maybe it's for the pursuit of excitement or because he has an idol in the entertainment industry."

"Click-"

The door of the venue was gently closed, Xie Xiangzhi looked up, his eyes were in a daze.

Before he could recover, the system sounded the alarm in his mind: [Host host host!This person, this person... looks too much alike!He and Bai Li Ze..." The system was stimulated by something, and the program was chaotic to the point of incoherence.]

Xie Xiangzhi quickly restrained his momentary gaffe, and looked down at the name on the file again: [Yeah, not only do they look like seven or eight points, but they even have the same name. ]

Baili Ze.

Chu Beize.

Gee.

Xie Xiangzhi couldn't believe it was a coincidence.

He pondered for a while: [Can you call up the data of Baili Ze in the previous world? ]

[ah?Host, wait, I have a backup of the last world data, I'll see if I can extract it. ]

[...]

[Sorry, host, my authority seems to be insufficient. ]

[Can I call Chu Beize's? ] Xie Xiangzhi knocked on the table subconsciously.This is a meaningless gesture, which usually only proves that he is not in a very happy mood.

[……Can. ] The system tried it, [Send it to you now? ]

[Not for now, make a backup. ]

The system hesitated for a moment: [The host, maybe he was reincarnated, after all, Bai Lize later took over the mandate of heaven, and the Dao of Heaven must treat him preferentially...]

[This kind of thing... doesn't matter. ] Xie Xiangzhi looked at Chu Beize—he had finished his brief self-introduction, and Xie Xiangzhi's usual faint smile had disappeared, "Let's begin."

Those who know him can probably see that his attitude is actually a bit dignified.

——After all, before he left the last world, he said that it was so easy to meet the same person.

After all, he has been in this world for more than ten years.

It turned out that he had never completely forgotten that person's name and appearance.Otherwise, when I saw someone who looked alike, all the memories would fly around in my mind.

The role Chu Beize tried was the male lead, and he quickly finished the performance.This scene is not difficult, but his acting level can only be said to be the same among a group of newcomers who are trying out the play.

It belongs to the kind that Xie Xiangzhi can call back at a glance.

He rested his chin to watch this part of the performance, and suddenly said, "Change another part."

Xie Xiangzhi winked at the staff, "Give him the third copy from top to bottom in the middle."

After Chu Beize accepted the script, he realized that this was not the role of the crown prince he had chosen, but another supporting role.

Painter Lou word.

The creator of the fairy in the painting, he is the beginning and the end of the whole story.He is neither a human being nor a fairy nor a demon nor a ghost. He is free from all living beings in the three realms. He is a young man who walks in the world of mortals. Do not draw beauties.

But later he personally broke his oath and painted the Immortal in the painting—a born immortal who came out of the painting.Later, he stopped writing at this point, and retired to Penglai Island overseas. He has never stepped out of his residence for 300 years.

In the end, the three worlds were in chaos and wars broke out, and the way of heaven collapsed. He walked out of Penglaizhou, used his own flesh and blood to paint, repainted the scrolls of mountains and rivers, repaired the way of heaven, and died.

After his death, someone found more than [-] volumes of pictures of beauties in the small building where he lived, all of them were of one person.

In short, Hua Shi Lou Ci is a very important role in the play.

Others may not know the weight of this character, but Chu Beize, who has read the full script, does.

Although this role does not have many roles, but the characters are brilliant, and the performance is no worse than that of the male and female protagonists.

But Chu Beize knew very well that he couldn't play the charm of this role.But Xie Xiangzhi asked him to play this role by name, and he could only insist on it.

He never expected to pass the audition today.

Chu Beize was very clear about how much he had.

and so--

Xu Yinzhi closed her eyes in horror.

This person is worse than her.

Xie Xiangzhi took care of Chu Beize's information: "You go back and wait for the notification. I will reply to you within two weeks whether you pass or not."

"Okay, thank you very much, teacher." Chu Beize smiled politely, bowed, and left.

The casting work was completed intermittently within a week, but the role of painter Lou Ci has not yet been selected.

Chen Jingyu was a little worried, so she got up in the middle of the night and sent him a WeChat message: Can Lou Ci find someone to make do with it?It's about to start up.

Xie Xiangzhi just came out of the shower and replied to Chen Jingyu's message.

——I have a plan, just start it normally.

--it is good.

—Wait, who?

—Didn’t we choose the right one?

- You'll know it when you turn it on.

——Who is bigger than you and needs to be so mysterious?

——Isn’t it your little lover?

——All right, all right.Anyway, you work on your own works. If you lose money, you can make two movies for me to earn back.

——Could it really be your little lover?

—Are you in the circle?

—Domestic or foreign?

——Male and female?

Seeing Chen Jingyu's more and more outrageous questions, Xie Xiangzhi closed the chat page and did not reply to the message.

He stood for a while, remembering the number he saw on the information that day, slowly curled his lips, and dialed.

Chu Beize was a little surprised when he received a call from an unfamiliar number. This is his private number, which most people don't know.The last time he gave this number was... the day of the audition to fill out the form.

Probably the staff of the film crew called to inform him of the rejection, which Chu Beize had expected.But it's a bit late now, isn't it?

Is the crew working so hard?

He thought wildly and pressed the connect button.

"Hello, hello."

It was very quiet over there, no one spoke.

Chu Beize frowned, and was about to hang up the phone, when a faint sound like strings of a violin brushing against purple velvet came out slowly.

"Hello, Mr. Chu."

There was a layer of hoarse laughter in the words.

Chu Beize's heart beat faster.

This voice is...Xie Xiangzhi.

He remembered a voice that was so familiar that he would never mistake it.

Before waiting for his answer, the other side had already continued to speak.

"Mr. Chu, I'm calling you today to ask you something."

"What?" Chu Beize asked subconsciously.

The sound of Night Breeze passing between the two buildings over there accurately reached Chu Beize's side, followed by Xie Xiangzhi's smiling voice.

"Mr. Chu, do you accept the hidden rules?"

The author has something to say:

Because of the clip on 26, today's update will be together with tomorrow.

The 26 update will be very late, so don't wait.

ps: Sure enough, I don't care about entertainment gossip at all. When I write about the entertainment industry, I feel ignorant and stupid.

Damn, just pretend that the entertainment industry in this world that Zhizhi exists is like this.
