Chapter 69 A Careful Girl Although Xu Kun also visited the Central Academy of Drama when he first came to Nanluoguxiang. But he had nothing urgent to do at that time, and the girl in front of him was here for an audition... He was used to seeing people trying their best to get in when they heard about an important role, but when he suddenly saw someone who didn't play by the rules, Xu Kun really looked at him differently. The girl was petite and well-proportioned, with an oval face the size of a palm, almond eyes, rosy cheeks and a small mouth. Her soft and tender accent gave her the feel of a beautiful girl from a small family in the water towns of the south of the Yangtze River. Although her nose is a little big, it does not destroy the overall coordination. Instead, it adds a sense of three-dimensionality. Among all the beauties who auditioned, her appearance can be ranked among the best. It just looks a little dark. Although not the kind of dark that makes you look pale and skinny, it will always affect your image on camera to some extent. "She is so stupid. She searched for a long time but couldn't find it before she remembered to call me!" Hao Lei complained unhappily. She felt that many eyes were looking at her, so she winked at Xu Kun and urged her schoolmate to go over and register. The girl put the suitcase against the wall and carefully placed the camera on it, then ran to the door of the main room to register and receive the script.
Hao Lei looked at her from behind and shook her head: "This girl is stupid. It's been more than a year since she graduated, but instead of seizing the time to go to the crew, she went traveling and got herself tanned." Although there is no such thing as fresh graduates for those studying acting, the first two years after graduation are undoubtedly the time when academic qualifications have the greatest effect. At this time, instead of going to the crew, you go traveling... Should we say that this girl is broad-minded or heartless? "She doesn't look that big, does she?" "Born in 81, she was specially recruited into the Shanghai Theatre Academy at the age of 16. Although she is three years younger than me, she is one year younger than me." Hao Lei said, and when she saw that the girl had already registered, she said, "I'll introduce you to each other later." Then he quickly walked up to him. Xu Kun looked at the girl curiously and returned to the west wing. After realizing the gap between himself and Li Jianyi yesterday, Xu Kun honestly found Wang Hui to act opposite him today - they have the most scenes together. In fact, even Wang Hui could suppress Xu Kun at this time, but at least he could see the ceiling. It was not like when facing Li Jianyi. He always felt like he was doing a somersault in the palm of Tathagata, and the other person could suppress him with a backhand slap. During this period, Hao Lei was always worried that someone would perform too well and directly win the role of Tong Layue. Fortunately, this situation did not happen. Although there were some good performances, none of them reached the level of being the final word. As it was getting close to evening, it was her junior schoolmate's turn to audition, so Hao Lei made some special preparations in advance, intending to pave the way for her and set off her role. Who would have thought that the person called to assist in the performance was actually Li Jianyi. Twenty-three people, there were twenty-three girls auditioning today. The vast majority of them chose Xu Kun, a small number chose Hao Lei as the queen, and the fewest chose Li Jianyi. Besides the fact that Li Jianyi looks like a veteran actor, the character Wu Liangfu, played by Li Jianyi, and Kangxi's biological mother Tong Layue are suspected to be in a "couple" relationship. Young girls who have just graduated or are yet to graduate from school are obviously still a little restrained and therefore somewhat shy about this. Seeing that the audition was over, Hao Lei angrily pulled the junior sister to a corner to interrogate her. Xu Kun also followed her curiously, wanting to hear what the girl was thinking. "Rongrong, what's wrong with you?!" Hao Lei said angrily: "Even if you didn't ask me to help you, you should have chosen Xu Kun. Why did you choose Teacher Li?!" "what?"
The little girl called Rongrong widened her eyes in surprise: "Senior Sister, you didn't tell me?" Hao Lei gritted her teeth and said, "Do I need to tell you this? Do you think I introduced Xu Kun to you for nothing? What on earth are you thinking about?!" "It's nothing." Rongrong saw that her senior sister was angry, and explained awkwardly: "I'm just a little curious about what kind of eunuchs who can eat with Empress Xiaokangzhang are like." "you……" Hao Lei didn't know what to say for a moment. Xu Kun was very happy listening to her. This girl's personality was actually quite likable. She also knew about Empress Xiaokangzhang, so she obviously did some research in advance. However, if you continue with this mentality, it will be difficult to become famous in the future. "What are you laughing laughing." Hao Lei glanced at Xu Kun, and then introduced them to each other: "This is Xu Kun, who plays Tong Layue's uncle, Prince Jian Jidu in the play; this is my junior sister Yang Rong, who will probably pack up and return to the Magic City tomorrow!" When he said the second half, he couldn't help but glare at Yang Rong. Yang Rong raised a hand and weakly objected: "Senior Sister, I want to go to Xiangshan to see the maple leaves before leaving. The last time I came to Beijing, the season was wrong and I couldn't see them." "Haha~" Xu Kun couldn't help laughing, and then took the initiative to extend his hand to Yang Rong: "Xu Kun." "Hello, I'm Yang Rong." When shaking hands, Yang Rong acted very confidently. At this time, Pan Hong came out of the main room and saw Xu Kun and Hao Lei, so he waved and said, "Xiao Xu, Lei Lei, go and invite Teacher Li Jianyi and the others over. Director Liu has something to say." Xu Kun quickly agreed and went in to pass on the message. In addition to Li Jianyi, He Saifei and Wang Hui, there are now two more seniors in the West Wing. One is the festive-looking Mongolian actor Wu Liping, and the other is Wang Huiyuan who plays Su Malagu. After the group rushed to the main hall, Liu Heng politely asked everyone to take a seat, and then said that the screening of young actors had come to an end for the time being, and that there would be another five days for re-examinations. If there were no major problems, several young leading actors would be confirmed. As expected, Deng Chao and Huo Siyan were on the re-examination list, and Yang Rong, who had just been sentenced to "death" by Hao Lei, was also on the list. This made Xu Kun curious about her performance in the previous audition. In addition to these selected handsome men and beautiful women, the play is still missing many actors, especially those major roles with few lines. Liu Heng hopes that the leading actors can help recommend some suitable candidates. This was exactly the opportunity Xu Kun had been waiting for. However, he did not jump out in a hurry. Instead, he waited until everyone had finished brainstorming and started to leave before he found Liu Heng alone and said that he had a friend whose personality was very compatible with Da La Wu and whose acting skills were also acceptable. "This……" Liu Heng hesitated when he heard this, because Da La Wu was not actually a special character, but a main actor with no less parts than Ji Du. He has also taken a fancy to Xiao Dengzi in "My Fair Princess" and is preparing to contact him to play Da La Wu. But thinking that he had just asked everyone to recommend actors, he couldn't turn around and discourage the enthusiasm of the leading actors, so he hesitated for a moment, and nodded and said, "Then you bring the person over tomorrow to try - but the role of Da La Wu is very important, if he is not suitable..." "understand."
Xu Kun hurriedly said, "Let me first thank you, Director Liu, for giving him this opportunity on behalf of my friend. If it doesn't work out, it's all his own fault!" When I came out of the main room, I saw Yang Rong standing next to the suitcase. His oval face was wrinkled like a bun, and he would stick out his tongue from time to time and stroke it with his snow-white teeth. This was so strange that Xu Kun couldn't help but want to laugh: "What's wrong with you?" "No." Yang Rong covered half of his face in embarrassment, pointed at a nearby grape rack, and said awkwardly, "Those grapes look big and round, but who knew they tasted so sour." “Then it’s not for eating.” The grapes on that vineyard are of a special variety. They look good and have a long fruit-bearing period, but the taste is hard to describe. As for why Xu Kun knew... He had secretly tasted it when he came the day before. (End of this chapter)
