He really doesn't want to be popular with Pixiu [Entertainment Circle]

Chang Xiaosong guessed very correctly.

Seeing that the 10-minute break had passed, Lan Yufeng did not show up.

Lan Yufeng didn't appear to meet Ling Xiu until the staff called the two people on the [-]th to get ready.

"Sorry, it took me some time to memorize the lines, should we find a place to hurry up and practice now?"

He had a smile on his face, and he spoke in a gentle and apologetic manner, making it impossible to find fault.

Ling Xiu smiled back at him, and said sincerely: "It's okay, it's too late for rehearsal now. When we play, we can just perform."

Perhaps because Ling Xiu was not expecting to be so calm and composed, Lan Yufeng didn't react for a moment.

But surprise flashed across his face, and was soon replaced by a polite smile.

Lan Yufeng nodded, "That's right, it's too late to hold the Buddha's feet in the platoon now, so let's just do it."

The two chatted a few words, because they were not familiar with each other, and now they were in a direct competitive relationship, so they could only talk about some unnutritious topics.

Ling Xiu and Lan Yufeng couldn't see anything, they were still talking and laughing happily.

Chang Xiaosong was beside him, but he was so embarrassed that he was about to dig out a castle with his toes.

Fortunately, Lan Yufeng's makeup artist arrived at this time and pulled him aside to touch up his makeup.

Chang Xiaosong let out a long breath of foul air.

"Mom, you guys just had an awkward chat, which made me feel at a loss as to what to do, and scratched my heart."

Ling Xiu stretched his waist, "Actually, it's okay, it's just a few more words about the weather."

"Please forgive me." Chang Xiaosong complained, "A patient with severe embarrassment like me is going crazy, but fortunately he is gone. Brother, it's time for you to play soon. How do you feel?"

"It's pretty peaceful."

"The cow is your cow." Chang Xiaosong spread his hands, "To tell you the truth, even I became nervous. Look, I'm sweating."

Ling Xiu took out a tissue, pulled out one, and put it in Chang Xiaosong's hand.

"Don't be nervous, it's fine."

His tone was as gentle as ever, and his voice was very soft, but it made Chang Xiaosong's heart instantly calm.

It's amazing, with Ling Xiu here, it seems that there will be a solution even if the sky falls.

"The two actors on number seven, please prepare."

At this moment, the staff pushed the door out and shouted into the corridor.

The two young actors hurried forward and stood at the door, waiting for the call.

Not long after, the two No. [-] actors from the previous assessment came out together, and the two No. [-] actors who were drawn entered the door.

Ling Xiu was a little surprised.

The previous pairs of partners all went out one after the other.

Why is it different this time?

Looking at the expressions of the two actors who just came out, they were extremely depressed. There was an actor who looked less than 20 years old, and his eyes were red, as if he had cried.

Ling Xiu realized instantly.

I am afraid that the performance of these two failed to satisfy the judges, and both were eliminated.

It seems that today's assessment is quite strict...

Before it was his turn, Ling Xiu simply found a place to move his limbs, so as not to be unable to use them later.

After stretching his muscles and bones, Lan Yufeng also finished his makeup.

I have to say that after he cleaned up, he looked more energetic than before, with a delicate aesthetic feeling.

"The two actors on number eight, please prepare."

Holding the folder, the staff member leaned halfway out of the door, and then closed the door again.

The sound insulation effect of the multi-function hall is very good, and it is almost impossible to hear the movement inside, let alone what happened.

Lan Yufeng took a few steps forward and stood side by side with Ling Xiu.

"It's almost time for us." He showed a business-like smile again, and the arc of his lips was the same as before, but Ling Xiu always felt that this traffic star seemed a little nervous.

Ling Xiu nodded, but did not speak.

——Because at this moment, everything you talk about is nonsense.

"Squeak—"

Not long after, the door of the multi-purpose hall opened, and the two actors ranked No. [-] came out one after the other.

The two were dejected, without saying a word, and quickly walked through the crowd following their respective managers.

Ling Xiu and Lan Yufeng looked at each other subconsciously.

Both understood what this meant—

Another pair of partners were directly eliminated.

Lan Yufeng could no longer maintain his previous elegance and composure, so he turned his back and took several deep breaths.

"The two actors on number eight, please come in."

The staff pushed the door open.

There was a glimmer of pale light coming out from inside, making the atmosphere even more tense.

"it is good."

After finishing the adjustment, Lan Yufeng resumed his idol's tone, smiled at the staff, turned around and walked in with big strides.

Ling Xiu followed behind and also entered the multi-function hall.

The interior is arranged like a small stage, and a bunch of follow-up lights hit the stage, creating a full sense of atmosphere.

A row of judges sat under the stage, including the director, producer, producer, two assistant directors and an executive director.

The staff standing aside did not talk nonsense, but made a gesture, "Both, this way please."

Ling Xiu and Lan Yufeng stepped onto the stage one after another, standing side by side under the spotlight.

The seats below were pitch black, and even the expressions of the judges could not be seen clearly.

But standing in the middle of the stage at this moment, Ling Xiu felt a surge of enthusiasm in his bones.

excited.

He knew he was excited.

The feeling of acting actually made him a little addicted.

"are you ready?"

Peng Shu propped his chin with one hand and asked in a serious tone.

Ling Xiu and Lan Yufeng agreed at the same time: "Director Peng, we are ready."

"Then let's start." Peng Shu leaned back, crossed his arms, and opened up the aura of not getting close to strangers.

Ling Xiu and Lan Yufeng discussed their positions before entering the arena, and they stood face to face with a slight distance between them.

The scene they want to play is mainly about the female protagonist and the male protagonist who are disguised as men and both fancy a bottle of medicine, but because the female protagonist pays first, she buys the last bottle of elixir.The hero needs medicine to save his friend, and hopes that the heroine will give him the medicine, but the heroine disagrees, so he grabs the medicine in desperation, triggering a series of stories that follow.

This kind of plot of identifying a girl as a man and causing misunderstandings is relatively common, and it is also the most attractive aspect of women disguised as men.

This scene looks easy, but it is not easy to act it out. A little carelessness will make the characters out of shape.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many actors who were directly eliminated and walked away in despair.

It's important to do business now, Ling Xiu quickly put away his messy thoughts, and met Lan Yufeng's eyes.

The other party understood and started playing the board, "Three, two, one, a!"

The performance officially begins.

The heroine played by Ling Xiu is holding the pill, playing with the dagger that doesn't exist in her hand, and walks leisurely forward.

Before walking a few steps, the male protagonist behind called her to stop and called the female protagonist "brother".

Ling Xiu raised his eyebrows, rolled his eyes, and turned around slowly, "What are you doing?"

The moment he turned around, Lan Yufeng, who played the male lead, was immediately stunned—even when they looked at each other, he felt his heart skip a beat.

Here is still the tall and handsome actor Ling Xiu, who looks and behaves like a playful and lovely girl, with an indescribable charm in her delicacy, and her eyes are shining like stars.

Lan Yufeng cried out inwardly.

I really underestimated Ling Xiu.

This kind of actor, whose eyes are full of aura, is destined to be the strongest opponent.

And Ling Xiu not only played a woman without any sense of disobedience, but also had a very strong aura around him. For some reason, it made him feel a little weak.

Fortunately, Lan Yufeng has acted in several TV series and accumulated a lot of experience.After a short period of panic, he quickly adjusted his mentality, stabilized his mind, and continued to advance the plot.

The male protagonist talked about his difficulties, begged the female protagonist to give him the medicine, and was willing to pay double or even triple the price, but the female protagonist was unmoved, and turned and left after saying no.

The male lead had no choice but to reach out to grab the heroine's hand.

The heroine played by Ling Xiu turned around nimbly, avoiding the hero, and in the next second, she turned around and grabbed the hero's wrist.

"If you say no, you just can't."

After he spoke his lines, he raised a sly smile, "Next time you buy something, remember to go early."

"Crack!"

Lan Yufeng, who played the leading role, hadn't even spoken yet when the judge, Peng Shu, called to stop.

Both of them were a little confused, and turned to look at the audience.

The expression on Peng Shu's face was rather complicated, he looked both happy and depressed, his eyebrows were twitched.

Ling Xiu wondered, is this satisfactory or not?

"Your name is Ling Xiu, right?" Peng Shu spoke slowly after a while.

"Yes, Director Peng." Ling Xiu quickly withdrew from the role and returned to his own state.

"Very good." Peng Shu patted the table suddenly, and his frowns relaxed.

He didn't hesitate to praise himself: "You acted very well in this part, successfully interpreting the heroine's character. I declare that you will advance to the next round."

Ling Xiu couldn't believe it.

It's only two-thirds of the way through.

But looking at the expressions of the other judges, they were all smiling and nodding at him, it seemed that it was not his hallucination.

"Thank you Director Peng, and thank you all the judges and teachers." Ling Xiu put one hand on his shoulders, covered his heart with the other, and bowed to express his thanks.

The moment he got up, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lan Yufeng beside him was very stiff, motionless like a puppet.

The atmosphere of the multifunctional meeting room also changed suddenly.

"Lan Yufeng, what happened to you just now?" Director Peng's expression changed, and his face darkened, "Don't say that you were completely suppressed in the aura of the scene just now, but just talk about the most basic thing, why did you say so repeatedly? Are your lines stuttering?"

"That's right." Producer Yang Yunyun also looked disappointed, "I remember you used to be very clear about your words. Although you didn't graduate from a major, your acting skills are not considered to be let down. What happened just now?"

"I..." Lan Yufeng was in distress.

It can't be said that he was really suppressed just now, even his legs were weak, it's too embarrassing.

Thinking about it, I can only find an excuse, "I'm sorry, I was a little nervous just now. Please give me another chance, teachers, I will definitely perform well."

Several judges glanced at each other and began to discuss in low voices.

Ling Xiu became curious and pricked up his ears.

He heard the opinion of the director and producer that he should be directly eliminated, whether it is acting skills or psychological quality, Lan Yufeng is not qualified.

The producer's opinion is to give another chance, saying that Lan Yufeng has many advantages and cannot be killed with a stick.

In the crew, the producer represents the opinions of the investors, and is considered the most in charge.

Peng Shu had no choice but to take a step back, "Let's try it once. If he doesn't perform well, it won't work even if he has more traffic."

The producer nodded, "This is natural, and I can still distinguish between priorities."

The judges reached a consensus, and Peng Shu cleared his throat.

"After discussion, Ling Xiu will be promoted directly, and Lan Yufeng is to be determined. Ling Xiu, you can go out to rest for a while. Lan Yufeng stays, get ready, and try again immediately."

Lan Yufeng's bruised face finally had a tinge of blood, and he hastily bowed to thank him.

"Thank you, teachers, then I'll go out first." Ling Xiu thanked again, then patted Lan Yufeng on the shoulder, and walked down the stage.

When he turned around, he saw the envy and hidden unwillingness in Lan Yufeng's eyes.

It's no wonder he reacted like this, even Ling Xiu himself didn't expect to win so easily.

……

As soon as he left the multi-function hall, Chang Xiaosong rushed over.

"Brother, how are you?" He was so excited that his voice trembled a little, and his expression was extremely disturbed.

"Obviously, Xiao Ling has advanced."

Shen Jianshu stepped on high-heeled shoes and walked over with great momentum.

She raised her chin in the direction of the meeting room door, "Lan Yufeng hasn't come out yet, so it should be pending."

"Really?" Chang Xiaosong grabbed Ling Xiu's arm, "Advanced directly?"

"Yes." Ling Xiu nodded.

"It's great." Chang Xiaosong's eyes lit up, and he hugged him, "I knew my brother was the best!"

In fact, not only Chang Xiaosong was surprised, but the actors waiting in the corridor were also full of disbelief.

They originally thought that even if there was someone to be confirmed, this person would only be Ling Xiu, not Lan Yufeng, who had acted in five or six plays.

"Okay, okay." Ling Xiu patted his brother on the back lightly, "Calm down, we haven't won yet. Don't forget that there will be an assessment later."

Chang Xiaosong was startled and lost his composure, stuck out his tongue, and quickly switched back to serious mode.

"Xiao Ling, you did a good job, and you got off to a good start." Shen Jianshu said with a smile, "The second round will be assessed in the afternoon, go back to your room for a meal, and take a rest."

……

When the three of Ling Xiu walked through the corridor, they met Zhou Xiao who was playing with his partner at the corner.

Zhou Xiao also got the heroine, probably because of the pressure, his brows were furrowed, and he seemed a little nervous.

When he saw Ling Xiu appear, there was obvious surprise in his eyes.

Their eyes collided head-on, and Ling Xiu didn't avoid it, and smiled at him friendly.

After a moment of astonishment, Zhou Xiao forced a smile back.

"Brother, do you think the Lanyu Summit has advanced?" After returning to the rest room, Chang Xiaosong hastily asked his own question.

Recalling the performance of the producer, Ling Xiu guessed: "Should be promoted."

"No, I will definitely be promoted." Shen Jianshu closed the door and sat on the sofa. "If you can't make it to the second round, the producer can't deal with the investor. It is said that the spokesperson of the investor's brand in this TV series is Lan Yufeng."

Chang Xiaosong pursed his lips, "According to this, it's enough to directly appoint Lan Yufeng internally, and there is no need for a public audition."

"Entering the second round can be manipulated, it's a way of giving money. But in the end, Director Peng has the final say on who to choose as the second male lead." Shen Jianshu said: "The reason why Director Peng is so famous is that he is very good at all aspects of the play. Item control is very strict, and there will be no bad dramas with a lot of traffic."

"Fortunately, Director Peng is very famous and has the right to speak in the crew." Chang Xiaosong sighed, "Some new directors have no director title, but the power is taken away by investors and producers. Actors want to add drama, want to change Changing the play at will, it's just messing around."

"That's why I worked so hard to help Xiaoling win this drama." Shen Jianshu nodded slightly, "There are actually many opportunities to play the second male lead, and I can even get the first male lead in some online dramas. But acting in these Bad dramas are of no benefit to Xiao Ling, it is better to join ten unprofessional crews than to join one reliable big crew.”

These words moved Ling Xiu a little.

"Sister, I will definitely live up to your expectations."

"I believe in you." Shen Jianshu smiled gently, "Xiao Ling, there is no need to question your major, as long as you perform well."

After lunch, Ling Xiu rested on the sofa, Chang Xiaosong played games, and Shen Jianshu worked on a laptop.

Ling Xiuxiu fell into a drowsy sleep, and heard the computer beeping a few times.

In the next second, Shen Jianshu's voice sounded.

"Xiao Ling, get up quickly."

Ling Xiu straightened up and sat up.

"Sister, what's wrong?"

"I received the news that the crew has prepared the weapons|weapons and props to be used in the assessment in the afternoon." Shen Jianshu said, "Let's go, let's get them as soon as possible, and then practice a little bit of swordsmanship, so as not to be unfamiliar."

Ling Xiu and the others did not dare to delay for a moment, and hurried to the meeting room where the lottery was drawn.

But as soon as they entered, the three of them were dumbfounded.
