Yancheng in January is already so cold that you have to cover your face when you go out.Otherwise, if the wind blows in front of you, your cheeks will hurt.Song Lin returned to China and settled in Yancheng after becoming a film star at the age of 1. He has been used to the winter here for 16 years.But Shen He can't.

Shen He is from the south, and his family moved to Yancheng only two or three years ago.Every winter is his most difficult time.Even if the person living in this body is Song Lin, it doesn't hinder his habit of not going out to enjoy the wind in winter-although the soul has changed, the memory of the body's temperature is still there.

The air conditioner was turned on in the book bar. In order to save electricity, Shen He didn't go back to his room, and stayed in the book bar to help out most of the time when he was not in class.Meng Zhang was wrapped in a snowstorm and pushed open the door of the book bar to come in. At a glance, he saw a young man with a black cat lying on his shoulder sitting in the old seat reading a book.

He nodded to Shen's father and Shen's mother, closed the door calmly and walked to the seat where the young man was sitting: "What are you looking at?"

Shen He was raising his hands and rubbing two shoulders, meowing and begging for touch, when he heard the voice, he raised his head: "These are a few books recommended by the professor in class."

Meng Zhang sat down on the opposite sofa, put his arms on the armrest, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Do you think reading is very important now?"

"Well, it's very important." Shen He put a bookmark in the book he was reading, and waited for the female guest who couldn't pass by to look at him to walk away before continuing, "I didn't read much before. The book came out and acted, which led to being a semi-literate artist for 20 years, which put a lot of pressure on myself and the crew, and I couldn’t understand many things in the script, so I had to ask someone for help.”

Meng Zhang smiled, and changed the subject: "Don't be too busy reading extracurricular books. I found a script for you, you can read it."

"what story?"

"It's a bit similar to the "Motherland" you filmed before." Meng Zhang took out the script from his briefcase, "But it's not a movie, it's a TV series, about 60 episodes, and the name is "Golden Ge and Iron Horse". The meaning over there is to find A relatively young actor. Most of the actors participating in the audition are over 30 years old. Although they look young, it is still not suitable to perform the feeling in the script."

"Then how are you sure I'm the right fit?"

"Because you are Song Lin."

Shen He flipped through the thin page of the audition script in his hand, glanced at the other artists in the waiting room, closed his eyes and rested.As an assistant, First Young Master Chen brought a bag of bread and drinks into the room. Relying on his stature, he squeezed past the artists and their assistants, and walked to Shen He's side.

"Shen Xiaohe, take a bite or two, and don't pass out in front of the director later." He glanced at the male artist next to him, and lowered his voice, "Is this crew reliable? Why do you even have to audition for the second male lead? The production team directly decides on the leading role, and only the supporting roles are released for people to grab."

Shen He opened his eyes.The play Meng Zhang chose, he had read the entire script a few days ago.The story is very interesting and it is indeed a good opportunity for him.So, when he came to the audition today, he was not as surprised as Young Master Chen was when he saw that among the artists who also came to the audition, there were groups of well-known actors chatting with their poses.

Everyone wants a good role, especially an artist who has just emerged and has not yet become popular. He will not let go of any opportunity.

"Forget about the others. Shen Xiaohe, do you know who I saw just now?"

Chen Dashao didn't know where the sulking came from, Shen He took a look at him and told him not to keep it.

"I saw that Wei Yan. I heard that it is the leading actor of this TV series."

Auditions will begin shortly.

Shen He didn't have the time to think about how Wei Yan got the leading role in this drama. For him, the appearance of this person gave him a reason to win the role.As for the reason why Wei Yan can become the protagonist, it probably has something to do with Yan Ning.

In the lottery before the audition, Shen He's lottery was fairly high.While waiting for the audition, he just sat in the waiting room and read the script, and didn't test each other with the people next to him.On the contrary, there was a male artist's assistant who deliberately came over to get close to Young Master Chen, but found that this man looked stupid, but he spoke cautiously and didn't reveal anything.

They only knew that Young Master Chen was honest, but they didn't know that Young Master Chen had also been taught a lesson by Meng Zhang before following Shen He to the audition.

Knowing that the assistant next to Shen He was a rich second generation, Meng Zhang specially stared at First Young Master Chen for two days, and found that he had many habits that were harmless to him, but might cause problems to Shen He, so he scolded him .Fortunately, Young Master Chen is not one of those rich kids who can't listen to the training, probably because of the stricter family rules since he was a child, Meng Zhang tried his best to change his habits when he said that he couldn't do it.Like the previous incident of giving Shen He's contact number to Ge Hui without Shen He's consent, Young Master Chen vowed that it would never happen again.

The first few auditions ended quickly, and it wasn't long before it was Shen He's turn.

The audition room was a large conference room that was borrowed.The director, producer, and planner who were in charge of the audition were all sitting in the back seats. They all seemed to be in their 50s or [-]s. They probably put on glasses to watch them act.

Every time an artist came in, they would look up and take a closer look, and then lower their heads to check the registration form in their hands.

As soon as Shen He entered, he saw Wei Yan and He Tian sitting in the far corner of the meeting room.Then, he walked to the middle position and greeted the person in charge politely.

Zheng Hui is the director of this TV series. He is a relatively well-known TV series director in China. He has filmed many TV series that are popular among young people, and he is especially good at ancient costume themes.Seeing Shen He enter the door, his eyes lit up, and he turned his head to exchange a few words with the planner Chen Tong next to him.

"It's a little strange, but it looks good."

"Look at his application form. In his acting experience, it says 'played Chen Chu in the movie "Heavenly Works"'. Isn't this Lao Hong's movie, that one has just been finished."

Zheng Hui glanced at the young man subconsciously, then looked down at the registration form.Every artist participating in the audition will submit a registration form, some of which are handed over to the crew with their brothers from the same company, and some of which are handed over individually.Shen He handed over this alone a few days ago, but now that he looked carefully, he hadn't even signed a contract with a brokerage company.But after repeatedly checking the photos, Zheng Hui was sure that this person was indeed a young actor who had just debuted that Hong Tao had been praising in private.

After asking about his name, Shen He's audition officially started.

He stood there like a pine tree, standing on the edge of the cliff, his eyes were deep, and his young face showed a lovelessness that fit his age.

Four words quickly swept through Zheng Hui's mind - "Peerless elegance".He lowered his head, looked at the clean and tough handwriting on the audition role on the application form, and clenched his fists.

If this person's acting skills are better than his face, maybe the role of the puppet emperor can live.

In the next second, the young man standing in front of the stage finally moved.

"They're all gone..." the young man opened his lips, "They're all gone... If even I leave, who will guard this country, who will... guard the people of Li on the king's land?"

It seems that someone around me responded to something.A flash of disgust quickly flashed in his eyes, and the expression on his face also changed: "Could it be that because the enemy is strong and strong, should I abandon the people and watch them being trampled and humiliated by the enemy's cavalry? "

He turned around with a sneer that didn't match his age: "I don't believe it. I don't believe the whole Dayong. I'm the only one left. I still have the guts to fight them!" At the end of the sentence, his voice There was a hint of trembling in his heart, and confusion in his eyes, "Before the late emperor died, he was afraid of his relatives taking power, so he left his mother and kept his son, and gave his mother and concubine to death. After that, the late emperor announced his abdication and ordered me, who was only eight years old at the time, to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. This throne , sitting for ten years, I... I have just been in charge of the government, how can I abandon the people!"

Then it seemed that someone insisted on saying something, the young man's face flashed unwillingness, his body trembled slightly, he couldn't help but took a few steps back, pursed his lips, and quickly regained his composure.

"No matter what, I won't leave the palace! Even if Dayong is about to perish, I will stay in the palace, be with Jiangshan Sheji, and be with my thousands of generals!"

The turbulent emotions in his eyes subsided slowly, and his eyes swept across the crowd, finally staying on one person's face.

"I am the emperor of Dayong, and I am Dayong!"

The moment the voice fell, everyone's hearts were full of excitement, as if at that moment, all the blood in their bodies were mobilized by Shen He's audition.

This audition is not particularly complicated, but it is a test of the emotional changes of the actors.Shen He auditioned for the role of Wei Kuang, the second male male emperor in this TV series.

In fact, it is the male number two, it is better to say that "Golden Ge and Iron Horse" was originally a TV series with two male protagonists.

However, when looking for investment, Yan Ning, the shareholder of Huanqiu, invested a lot of money in this drama and required Wei Yan to play the leading actor. Emperor Wei Kuang was placed in the male second position.

"It was really good."

As soon as Shen He said that the audition was over, the silence at the scene was immediately broken.Zheng Hui almost stood up and applauded him. Holding back his excitement, he clenched his pen and asked, "Looking at your resume, you have starred in Director Hong's "Heavenly Works" before. You played a bookboy in it, right?"

Seeing Shen He nodding his head, Zheng Hui wished he could call his old friend immediately and give him a scolding.Such a good actor, let him play only a book boy?Even if he is by Sheng Boyong's side, he is still a bookboy, no matter how much he shows his face!Pearl dust ah this is!

no!No matter what the situation is, the role of Wei Kuang is his!It must be settled quickly!Can't wait any longer!

Thinking about it, Zheng Hui didn't even bother to discuss with Chen Tong and the others, and directly pointed out: "Shen He, right? The role of Wei Kuang is you!"

"No! I object!"

From the farthest corner of the meeting room, there was a sudden voice of opposition.

All eyes turned to that direction, Wei Yan was shaking off He Tian's hand, and stood there with staring eyes: "I don't agree with him playing this role! He doesn't fit the character image!"

Although I don't know what kind of enmity this little star whom the investor side favors has with Sister Shen He, but Zheng Hui's complexion couldn't look good when he was pointed at at the audition meeting.He opened his mouth and was about to ask why, when he heard the young man behind him ask, "Why does Mr. Wei object?"

"Your face doesn't look like a king!"

"..."

What kind of objection is this?

Zheng Hui and Chen Tong stared round their eyes.These days, the choice of actors depends on their looks, isn't it better to look good?

Shen He kept looking at Wei Yan.From the time he started the audition to the end of the audition, Shen He didn't miss any of Wei Yan's reactions.Including when he said the last line, Shen He could clearly see Wei Yan's instantly horrified expression because he met his gaze.

"It is written in the script that the young emperor Wei Kuang is beautiful with a female face, and Ziwei is weak. Although he has the appearance of an emperor, he is not suitable to be an emperor. Therefore, Mr. Wei, my appearance is very suitable for this role."

Seeing that Wei Yan's face became even uglier, and Zheng Hui's and others' expressions of wanting to laugh but holding back their laughter, Shen He took a step back very considerately: "Thank you, Director Zheng, for giving me this opportunity. I will live up to your expectations. I hope you will be satisfied with my Wei Kuang."
