Shadow for the Emperor

"What's the matter with these two dark circles? I don't know if I have an audition today or something?" Sister Rong had just greeted Xiao Zhe, and when she took a closer look, her brows were furrowed.

"Don't mention it, there was a particularly annoying mosquito last night." His teeth itch when he mentioned this.

Thanks to Wen Sheng's blessing, Xiao Zhe woke up in the morning with dark circles and bloodshot eyes like spider webs. Fortunately, he squinted for a while on the way here, otherwise he would be a hybrid of a panda and a rabbit.

Sister Rong sneered, "If I had known that you still cared about mosquitoes, I wouldn't have cared about you. Mosquitoes suck blood, so who can blame you for not cleaning your eyes before going to bed."

"Cough..." Xiao Zhe heard what Sister Rong said, there is no silver 300 taels here, "I mean real mosquitoes."

"Don't care if you are a real mosquito or a fake mosquito." Sister Rong made a gesture to twist his ears, "I warn you, I have worked so hard to get this opportunity today, if you mess up, even the mosquitoes won't bother you."

"Hey." He didn't dare to draw darker and darker, so he could only agree honestly.

"Follow me to the dressing room first, and get rid of your ugly panda eyes." Sister Rong left without saying a word.

Thanks to her skilled makeup artist, Xiao Zhe not only lost the dark circles under his eyes, but also looked more energetic than after sleeping all day.

"Speaking of which, what is the film to be shot this time? Which director? I'm still at a loss." Xiao Zhe asked while still being at the mercy of the makeup artist.

"I heard that it's a director who came back from abroad. I don't know the movie very well, but I know it's a costume movie."

Xiao Zhe gave Sister Rong a look of "it's not so unreliable".

Sister Rong was a little embarrassed, and added: "I know the people in Zhitian Entertainment Group. When I asked you about it, he said that the group just hired a director. Because they have been abroad and there are no queen actors, so they did this. It's coming out. But he doesn't know the name of the director, and the group is very secretive, and I heard that they haven't settled down yet, and they are afraid that people will run away if the news is leaked."

"Such a big name?" It's already started to help others cast, but they are still afraid that people will run away. How much should they value this director? "It must be one of the few foreign directors, right? Otherwise, it wouldn't be so expensive."

"I don't know. Although Zhitian is powerful, if he goes out of the world, he may not be able to pry those great directors over. They may not want to come, after all, they may not be satisfied with China if they come to China rashly." Sister Rong shrugged.

Not a big director, and definitely not a third-rate director, this whole thing is really getting more and more mysterious.

"Then today I will be able to meet this proud son of 'Heaven'?" Just as he blurted out, he remembered Wen Sheng who snatched his bed last night.

"With your ugly appearance, not to mention the proud son of heaven, even the mosquitoes don't even bother to look at you. The assistant director came here today, and the real protagonist hasn't returned to China yet."

"Don't keep talking about mosquitoes." Xiao Zhe murmured, what would Sister Rong's reaction be if she knew that the real Chosen One had not only looked at him many times, but also stayed at his house?

After fiddling with the shape, he was immediately dragged in front of the assistant director by Sister Rong.

In the rather spacious office, there is only a long and square desk at the end, and there is a large open space in front of the desk.A middle-aged man with a slightly fat body was sitting behind the table, looking down at the documents.

When Xiao Zhe went in, there was no one else in the room except this man.

After Sister Rong introduced him to Director Xu, the man who was sitting and reading the materials, she said hello and left, leaving only him staring at Director Xu.

"Xiao Zhe." Assistant Director Xu flipped through the documents in his hand and shouted meaningfully.

Xiao Zhe saw that his photo was still printed on his profile, so he was obviously looking at his profile, and he was looking at it so seriously, it seemed that this was not an audition for a small role, but an international company recruiting a general manager.He was a little hairy in his heart, but he still pretended to greet him calmly, "Hello, Director."

"Don't be so cautious." Director Xu pushed away the materials in his hand, "Sit casually, don't be like a primary school student being scolded." He raised his head, and the little mustache almost turned into a mustache.

Xiao Zhe got goosebumps, always feeling weird, "What are you going to do in this audition?"

"There's no rush in the audition, young people, don't be too impatient." Director Xu smiled and pushed the chair beside him to him.

Xiao Zhe had no choice but to sit down, "What does Director Xu mean?"

"Since it is possible to cooperate, we must get to know each other." Director Xu glanced at the information, "I heard that you and Mo Lian had a feud?"

Mo Lian is Mo Dao, the psychological shadow of Xiao Zhe's life - a womanizer.

However, Director Xu made such a statement, and Xiao Zhe relaxed instead. It turned out that he just wanted to figure out the matter between him and Mo Lian, so it made sense.

Now that he knew what the enemy's purpose was, Xiao Zhe pulled himself together, polished his sentence and said, "There is a little misunderstanding between Mo Dao and I, but she is generous and won't care too much about a small person like me." of."

"I don't care about you? Then how did you change from the male second to the martial arts substitute?" Director Xu chuckled, "I think this misunderstanding is more than a little bit. Young people don't learn anything else, what kind of bureaucratic accent is imitating others."

This director speaks really straightforwardly, leaving no room for anyone.

"It's been a year, how many things can happen in a year, no matter how angry she was at the time, she probably can't remember me now, or she doesn't care about my small role. What's more, the weather is so powerful, it shouldn't be so difficult You can't tolerate me." He touched the back of his ear and showed his cards openly.

"That's enough, I have a big appetite." Director Xu was very satisfied with his current way of answering, and he said a few words absently, "Then you have been a martial arts substitute for a year, have you ever been injured? What happened to your family?" explain?"

Look at this sudden turn of the tongue.

I can barely understand asking if I have been injured, but what is going on with my family members?And didn't he look at a stack of information about himself just now?

Is this really just a small role audition?

Xiao Zhe thought about it, was it because he was afraid that these things would affect the filming progress?So he replied cautiously, "I've definitely been injured, but it's not a problem, and my parents are not here, so I don't have anything to say, and I won't persuade me to leave this circle or anything."

The mustache director seemed surprised, and he said, "Your parents are gone?"

"Yeah." He was getting more and more inexplicable.

"I'm really sorry. I'm just too curious. I always like to ask the bottom line. I ask questions that shouldn't be asked."

"It's okay." He said indifferently, anyway, it's been so many years, and he won't be so fragile that he will collapse when asked.

"Hey." Director Xu smiled again with his signature mustache, "That's good, then I have another question that I'm curious about."

Xiao Zhe was speechless. Is this something that should be said by someone who realizes that it is not good to ask the bottom line?But still held back his temper, "What?"

Hearing his question, Director Xu grinned and dropped a bombshell, "I heard your mother is Qin Ruanyao?"

Qin Ruanyao was a well-known super actress more than 20 years ago. Basically, when she turned on the TV, nine out of ten channels were her works, and her photos were all in the calendar. She was in the limelight for a while, but then she suddenly disappeared. , It is said that she got married and went back to take care of her husband and teach her children.

"No." Xiao Zhe flatly denied, "My mother's name is Qin Ruanyun, there is one word missing, you may remember it wrong."

"Oh." For some reason, Director Xu deserved to be a little disappointed and suspicious at the same time.

"If my mother had been Qin Ruanyao, the entertainment industry would have exploded at that time. She was just an ordinary woman, and she had been dead for many years." Xiao Zhe further explained, wondering if the reason why he gave himself a chance this time was because of listening to her. Said he was Qin Ruanyao's son?This is not in line with common sense.

What's more, Qin Ruanyao has quit for many years, even if he is, it is worthless.

"Why do you want to ask this all of a sudden?" He curiously glanced at the stack of documents on the table, trying to see if there was anything written on it.

"It's nothing, I just love gossip, but I saw that I remembered the wrong person." Director Xu laughed.

Who would believe it? If you come here to ask this question, you must be blind to see it wrong.

Xiao Zhe didn't believe it [-]%, but he didn't show it on the surface, he just responded politely.

Director Xu chatted with him again, all of which had nothing to do with the audition, and they were all related to Xiao Zhe's family and so on. They were simply testing Xiao Zhe's patience.

Just when he was about to burst out and say "can you ask these irrelevant things again", the phone on the table vibrated.

Director Xu, who was frothing all over his mouth, stopped, and casually clicked on the phone, keeping his mouth half-open for three seconds before closing it again.He re-locked the screen of the phone in a whitewashed manner, glanced at the watch very "inadvertently", and said, "Okay."

The babbling is over, and it's finally time to get down to business?

Xiao Zhe raised his head mentally.

"Then let it be like this. In two days, someone will bring you the script."

……

Is there any step that was omitted?

It's strange to say that Director Xu, who was so leisurely just now that he seemed to have spent his entire life doing "interviews on life experiences" with Xiao Zhe, now seems to have ghosts chasing after him.

I saw him say a long series of polite words without panting, "I have been chatting with my old man for so long, I guess you are getting impatient, go back and rest, you will be busy when you start work", and then started talking. Xiao Zhe shook hands casually, as if they had shaken hands in a "friendly" way, and murmured a few words "happy cooperation" indistinctly, then half pushed Xiao Zhe to the door, with his right hand Already about to turn the doorknob.

Seeing that the next step was to throw him out, Xiao Zhe finally realized that all this meant that he had passed the audition, so he hurriedly turned around and yelled, "Wait, wait, Director Xu, what's the name of this show?"

This situation is too confusing. Judging by the director's posture, he looks like a human trafficker. He has to wonder if he walked into the "Zhitian Entertainment Group" building today.

"I don't have time to chat with you right now, you can read the script yourself later." Director Xu paused for a moment and replied impatiently.

"Who is the other director?"

"It's good that you know me. Why do you know so many directors?" Director Xu prevaricated casually, and couldn't help saying that when he exerted force with his right hand, the door was opened by him.

Xiao Zhe didn't have time to turn his head back, he was half pushed, half driven forward by inertia, and accidentally stepped on someone.
