"I don't believe it."
"Wanna bet? If he really is looking for me to audition, what then?" Yu Wenliang was very confident.
"Tch! Bet then, who's afraid of who?"
Zhou Ye pouted, a little emotional, not wanting to believe Yu Wenliang's arrogant words.
It wasn't because he didn't thank her after she helped him expose the scam earlier that she was a little emotional.
It was because of what Yu Wenliang said to the scammer when he pulled her away, "My girlfriend isn't feeling well, so she left first..."
Who's your girlfriend?
Even if it was a lie, you took advantage of me verbally, and you're not even going to explain it to me?
Zhou Ye really wanted to argue with Yu Wenliang about this, but he acted as if he hadn't said anything, as if nothing had happened.
Yu Wenliang started making a call, making her both angry and itchy, her heart feeling like it was being scratched by a cat...
"Hello, Teacher Liu, what can I do for you?"
As Yu Wenliang spoke, he looked back and met Zhou Ye's gaze.
Zhou Ye crossed her arms, her pretty face tilted upwards, with a look of "I don't believe it."
How cute...
"Xiao Yu."
"Are you interested in making a movie?"
"A big movie, it's a big movie that Director Zhang Yimou is going to make, are you interested?"
Liu Jingming's voice sounded so pleasant in Yu Wenliang's ears.
Finally!
Finally, I've waited for you~ Thankfully, I didn't give up~
"Hey, hey, Teacher, my signal isn't very good, I didn't hear clearly just now, why don't you say it again?"
As Yu Wenliang spoke, he turned on the speakerphone and looked back at Zhou Ye with a mischievous smile.
Teacher Liu Jingming's authoritative voice came from the phone:
"I said!"
"Zhang Yimou is going to make a movie recently, and the role of a young general hasn't been cast yet. His casting director has now come to our examination hall to find you, showing great sincerity. You must stay and meet her during your next re-examination!"
"This is a great opportunity. Director Zhang loves to use students from the Central Academy of Drama. If you can successfully audition, it will also bring glory to our Beijing Film Academy!"
The phone call ended.
Zhou Ye's twisted face instantly froze, and she blinked her eyes in confusion.
Ah???
Tian Xiwei also widened her characteristic big eyes and exchanged glances with Zhou Ye, thinking, 'We didn't mishear, did we?'
Wang Anyu, on the other hand, clenched his fists excitedly, roaring silently, more excited than a last-second three-point buzzer-beater in basketball!
"Hey!"
"Okay."
"I heard you clearly this time, thank you, Teacher Liu, please help me accept it. I'll go to their audition after the next re-examination..." Yu Wenliang continued to chat with Teacher Liu for a few more sentences before reluctantly hanging up the phone.
If he had hung up the teacher's call excitedly as soon as he heard the good news, it would have shown disrespect for their teacher-student relationship.
Of course, he had to thank the teacher a few words and give him some grand promises to make the old man Liu Jingming happy.
"High Emotional Intelligence"
As soon as Yu Wenliang hung up the phone.
Wang Anyu pounced on him, wrapping his arm around his shoulder, as excited as an ape: "Ahhh! Awesome, brother, it's really you! You actually got the famous National Master to come find you for an audition! Did you hear that, everyone, this is my brother!!!"
Wang Anyu walked down the street with Yu Wenliang, showing off their brotherhood to passersby.
It was so cool!
Tian Xiwei revealed two dimples, a sweet smile on her face.
She was also happy for Yu Wenliang: "Then how about we go to that Sichuan restaurant we didn't have time for before and have a big meal?"
"Hmm..."
Yu Wenliang pretended to think, looking at Zhou Ye, "But someone doesn't seem to like spicy food, oh? Hey? Why isn't someone talking?"
"Go away~"
Zhou Ye knew that Yu Wenliang was referring to the time she considered Tian Xiwei a love rival, and she quickly covered his mouth, afraid he would blurt it out, "No one will think you're mute if you don't talk. Look at you showing off. I'll praise you for being amazing once you successfully pass the audition."
"I'll treat dinner later."
"Consider it the bet I just lost to someone, you won, okay..."
··········
In the Sichuan restaurant.
Four people sat around a steaming hot pot with red oil.
Wang Anyu was from Zhejiang and couldn't eat spicy food, so he ordered instant noodles and was even teased by Tian Xiwei.
Tian Xiwei was from Sichuan, a spicy girl, and ate spicy food without batting an eye.
What surprised Yu Wenliang the most was Zhou Ye, who was sitting across from him...
She was eating a dipping sauce with the same level of spiciness as Tian Xiwei.
The two of them ate at an unyielding pace.
"You can eat spicy food???"
Yu Wenliang felt that he had been fooled by Zhou Ye. When they first entered the film industry, Zhou Ye said she couldn't eat spicy food, which was why he didn't go to the Sichuan restaurant with Xiao Tian and the others. Moreover, when the two of them had meals alone, Zhou Ye even used the lie that she couldn't eat spicy food to cover up the fact that she was crying!
"I was born in Chongqing and only moved to Hui City when I was five. I'm half a Sichuan girl, so of course I can eat spicy food~" Zhou Ye was very satisfied with her Acting, having successfully fooled Yu Wenliang for half a year.
The latter still thought she couldn't eat spicy food!
Hahaha...
"Okay, okay, okay."
"So this is how you want to play, huh?"
"Xiao Tian, let me tell you something..." Yu Wenliang couldn't resist retaliating against Zhou Ye.
The next second, Zhou Ye's chopsticks picked up a piece of hot fatty beef and stuffed it into Yu Wenliang's mouth.
"Damn it!" Yu Wenliang was curious about Zhou Ye's hand speed, why was it so fast?
"Eat!" Zhou Ye glared at him, not allowing him to mention the embarrassing incident from before.
"Xiao Tian..."
"Eat!"
Fatty beef + 2!
"Xiao Tian..."
"Eat!"
Fatty beef + 3!
Zhou Ye almost fed Yu Wenliang until he was full. The latter chuckled, 'I'll keep this secret my whole life!'
"Boring!" Zhou Ye linked arms with a curious Tian Xiwei to go to the restroom, and Wang Anyu followed them.
Yu Wenliang was bored by himself, so he opened his simulator to play around. It was a good opportunity to simulate what a movie audition was like.
【Start Simulation】
【Number of Simulations: 0】
【You are an excellent Art Examination candidate. Due to your outstanding impromptu performance, you gained the recognition of Zhang Yimou's casting director, Fu Lulu. She contacted you through Liu Jingming's connection and brought you to Zhang Yimou Studio for an audition after the re-examination...】
【Coincidentally, Guan Xiaotong was also at his studio. This was her second time auditioning. It was said to be due to frequent script revisions. She was not entirely confident about securing the princess role. You became even more nervous upon hearing this.】
【You came before Director Zhang Yimou. This famous National Master was more approachable than you imagined. He was a kind and gentle old man. He asked several questions based on the script given to you in advance, and you answered them fluently. So he directly asked you to improvise.】
【Your choice is...】
【1. Since it's improvisation, just do whatever.】
【2. Put on the armor in the studio and perform with real weapons.】
【3. Propose to act opposite Guan Xiaotong, who just finished her audition.】
【4. Perform a dramatic scene.】
Hmm...
Actually, options 1, 2, and 4 are not as difficult as option 3.
But choosing 3 can provide more information.
For example, Guan Xiaotong's audition content, where Director Zhang was not so satisfied with her performance, and where it could be optimized...
Yu Wenliang not only wanted to succeed in his own audition but also wanted to secure a role for his Zhou Ye, even if it meant competing with Guan Xiaotong. After all, Xiao Ye Ye was his future girlfriend, and as for Guan Xiaotong, although her legs were longer than Zhou Ye's, in his heart, she was still not as good as Zhou Ye!
"333, I'll try Guan Xiaotong, to see if she really has the strength?"
