Chapter 72 Audition Slap in the Face

Ji Qiubai is going to audition for the crew of "Returning on a Snowy Night".

Originally, he was pregnant, but Gong Aohan didn't want him to audition, after all, he wouldn't go even if he did.Hanging Weiya, it's too dangerous, Gong Aohan will never agree.

But Ji Qiubai thought that it was impossible for the director and Shen Rongzhai to fall in love with him. Going to the audition was just to "challenge himself".The last time "Gong Banquet" was not shown, after all, it still hit his self-confidence a little bit.

After hearing his reasons, Gong Aohan agreed, and he also knew that Ji Qiubai is a self-motivated person, so it doesn't hurt to let him try.

Zhang Cuishan took Ji Qiubai to the audition location. At this time, many people were already waiting in the corridor. The assistant who came to welcome them told them that the audition hadn't started yet, but it was coming soon, and asked them to wait for a while in the lounge next door..

Those waiting in the corridor were all little-known young actors, while those waiting in the lounge were all big names. As soon as Ji Qiubai entered, he gasped——

Two popular teen idols and two first-line actors were sitting there waiting.

After he awkwardly greeted everyone, Qin Feng, an actor-level movie star, came over. It was said that he was a fan of Shen Rongzhai's books, so he didn't hesitate to lower his status and came to act in TV.

Before Ji Qiubai tried it, he felt like he was being hanged and beaten, and he was so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat.

I even wanted to run away a little bit - if auditioned in front of these people, it would be really embarrassing!

Even if Fu Rong taught him how to act, he still felt ashamed!

... calm down calm down!

Ji Qiubai tried his best to calm himself down——Ji Qiubai, you have to be calm, you are just here to challenge yourself, and you are a monk halfway, it doesn't matter if you really fail in acting, there is no shame, come on, you can do it!

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

At this moment, the staff said that the director, producer, screenwriter, and original author Shen Rongzhai had arrived, and asked everyone to enter the audition in order according to the number plates they had just received.

And those of them in the lounge are the first to go.

Fortunately, they went in one by one, and no one else could see, Ji Qiubai heaved a sigh of relief.

The biggest coffee goes in first, then the two teen idols, and finally Ji Qiubai. Probably Ji Qiubai was Shen Rongzhai's "accident", so he was put at the end.

Ji Qiubai watched them go in one by one, and then greeted and left one by one, everyone had a relaxed look on their faces.

It is estimated that Shen Rongzhai and the others are relatively polite, so everyone is very optimistic.

"Mr. Ji, it's your turn, please go in." The assistant was very polite and called them "Teacher".

"Okay, thank you." Ji Qiubai smiled at her, said to Zhang Cuishan, "Brother Shan, I'm going in", and followed him in.

The room was arranged in a row with small tables, three men and one woman were sitting, and Shen Rongzhai was the last one.

"Hello, teachers." Ji Qiubai didn't know who was the director and who was the producer, so he simply called "teacher" together, and bowed politely to them.

The lady sitting in the middle was about forty years old and well maintained. Seeing him, she smiled mockingly: "Xiao Ji looks very good."

It seems that the only condition left for him is appearance.

A tall, thin, bespectacled, serious man next to him frowned and said, "You're a little more delicate."

Shen Rongzhai smiled slightly: "Age is not a problem...Qiu Bai, which section do you want to try?"

Ji Qiubai froze for a moment, then drooped his eyelids: "I will try whichever section the others try."

Generally, auditions are designated by the other party, how can you try whichever part you want to try?Shen Rongzhai and the others probably didn't take him seriously at all, thinking that he was playing around with Gong Aohan's money, so they just let him try to get rid of him.

Shen Rongzhai was also taken aback for a moment, then smiled a little awkwardly, and said: "That's fine, the others tried the scene where Xiao Qiushuang knew the truth about his father's death, you should try it too."

Ji Qiubai thought for a while, then nodded.

He is very familiar with the novel "Returning on a Snowy Night". He has read it twice as a reader, and read it many times before the audition to study the script and practice. Especially this scene, Fu Rong said that it is very likely to be selectedTrials, and acted with him many times.

He also thought about the psychology of the protagonist Xiao Qiushuang, and designed several versions of facial expressions and action details for him. After discussing with Fu Rong and another colleague of Fu Rong, he decided on the final version.

So it was almost effortless for him to play this part.

And because he came here with the purpose of "challenging himself", he actually performed better than he practiced, and he was completely involved in the play, without any trace of acting.

He finished the performance, and said to Shen Rongzhai and the others: "This is the end of my audition, please criticize and correct me, teachers!"

There was silence on the other side.

Ji Qiubai raised his head in surprise, and saw all of them looking at him in amazement.

The expression looks like Columbus discovered the New World.

Even Shen Rongzhai's face was full of disbelief.

Ji Qiubai's astonishment suddenly turned into joy and pride—this feeling of a dick's counterattack and slap in the face is great!

"Xiao Ji, your performance is great!" The middle-aged woman said, very excited, "Except for Qin Feng, this is the best performance I have ever seen!"

Shen Rongzhai even stood up and said with a sincere smile: "Qiu Bai, I want to apologize to you for my previous rudeness. I think you are very good. I want you to play Xiao Qiushuang more than Qin Feng!"

The acting skills are about the same, but Ji Qiubai's age is more suitable, his eyes are younger and more persistent, which is exactly the image of Xiao Qiushuang who refuses to admit defeat and works hard.

As Shen Rongzhai said, he looked at the others and said, "Everyone has no objections, right? Let's decide it's Qiu Bai, right?"

The others nodded in agreement.

Then Shen Rongzhai said excitedly: "Okay, the role of Xiao Qiushuang will be given to Qiu Bai, you..."

Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by Ji Qiubai:

"Sorry, I can't act."

Everyone looked at him in amazement again.

How many people dream of this role?Even the film emperor Qin Feng is no exception, let alone the unknown person waiting outside... And Ji Qiubai actually refused?

What's more, he had been preparing for so long, and Gong Aohan even spent 10 million yuan to audition for him, and finally he was selected, but he refused?

Looking at the shocked expressions of everyone, Ji Qiubai couldn't help feeling a little regretful, but his physical condition really didn't allow him to take this scene.He smiled at the four people on the opposite side, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, teachers, I'm not in good health. I have to cultivate for about a year, so I definitely can't take this role."

"Then you still..."

"I really like this character in this book." Ji Qiubai said calmly, "Besides, I just want to try it out to see where my acting skills are lacking... I am very happy to be recognized by the four teachers, but I also want to give it a try.Sorry, I can't take this role."

The four of Shen Rongzhai were even more surprised—there are still people who are so serious and persistent in polishing their acting skills these days?

No wonder Gong Aohan has a crush on him. How can a person who never forgets his original aspirations be unattractive?
