Rebirth System: Learning makes me happy

"Ding, we're on the sixth floor."

A gentle female voice sounded in the elevator. Su Qingqing quickly rubbed her face, manually trying to suppress the smile that she couldn't suppress.

Yu Xingye held her hand and chuckled:

"Be gentle, baby, your face is red."

Gu Xiao ignored their sweet interaction and refused to eat this bowl of dog food.

He looked at the open elevator door. Although there was no one outside, he reflexively showed his signature smile.

It looks like a spring breeze and sweet rain.

If you ignore the slightly twitching corners of his eyes.

Gu Xiao led them into the audition site through the back door. As soon as the door was opened, Su Qingqing attracted everyone's attention.

There is surprise, scrutiny, kindness and curiosity.

There is only no jealousy or malice.

Su Qingqing glanced at Gu Xiao. Although he always appeared kind and easy to bully in front of them, in fact, his vision and methods were far more vicious and decisive than those of his peers.

Gu Xiao gently introduced to everyone:

"These two are Teacher Su and President Yu."

Gu Xiao still remembered the "quarrel" just now. He didn't look at Yu Xingye and directly introduced Su Qingqing:

"This is our chief director Tian Heyang, Director Tian."

Tian Heyang was a middle-aged man who looked very capable. Su Qingqing had heard in her previous life that he had scolded many actors to tears on the set, but now she only saw his unskilled smile on his weathered face.

"Hello."

Su Qingqing raised a polite smile: "Hello, I have heard of you for a long time."

Gu Xiao continued to introduce: "These two are assistant directors, Tang Shi and Song Ci."

Tang Shi is a Shandong man in his thirties. His nearly two-meter height and muscular body are quite eye-catching. He looks like a small mountain when he stands there.

He scratched his head, with a hearty smile on his face:

"Hello, hello, just call me Xiao Tang."

Song Ci Ze lives up to her name, with an unhealthy blush on her pale face. Su Qingqing can smell the scent of Chinese medicine on her even from such a distance. Although she is not in good health, she has a sharp eye and can always accurately find the shining points of an actor and magnify it effectively. This is why she was chosen by Gu Xiao to join the crew.

"Hello, ahem. Sorry, the temperature has changed so much recently that my throat is not feeling well."

Su Qingqing shook her head, indicating that it was okay.

“It’s been a pleasure working with you guys.”

Although Yu Xingye was just standing quietly beside Su Qingqing, no one dared to even glance at him, let alone take the initiative to say hello.

They stood about three or five meters away from Su Qingqing and kept chatting with her.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Gu Xiao stopped introducing the other people who were waiting anxiously nearby and directly led them to the seats that had been arranged long ago.

As he walked, he whispered to his assistant:

"Announce the start of the audition."

The directors and other staff members also took their positions. The seats Gu Xiao prepared for Yu Xingye and Su Qingqing were right behind them, in the middle of the room, with a very good view.

In order not to attract the actors' attention, Gu Xiao deliberately turned off the lights above their heads. Even the windows were carefully blocked by blackout curtains, illuminating only the open space in front for the performance.

In the dim light, Su Qingqing leaned into Yu Xingye's arms and relaxed, smelling the familiar scent of disinfectant and agarwood, and subconsciously thought that this was the home theater.

Yu Xingye kissed the cinnabar mole behind her ear and said softly:

"Go back and watch a movie with me."

Su Qingqing was pleasantly surprised to find that the two of them had the same idea.

She held Yu Xingye's hand on her belly and said with a smile, "Okay."

After Gu Xiao finished his chores, he leisurely sat on the single sofa next to them. Su Qingqing asked him curiously:

"Aren't you going to sit in the front?"

Gu Xiao smiled slightly: "It's better to sit behind the scenes and watch the show."

Double entendre.

Su Qingqing was too lazy to think about the twists and turns involved and just played with Yu Xingye's fingers out of boredom.

Yu Xingye kissed Su Qingqing's cheek tenderly, then glanced at Gu Xiao and said in a calm voice:

"How is life after engagement?"

The smile on Gu Xiao's face froze, and he said unhappily:

"It's definitely not as harmonious and loving as you two."

He looked at the busy costume and makeup staff coming in and out of the door and sneered:

"It's just that each of us takes what we need. Although the Song family is a knife of my father, this knife can't only recognize him."

Yu Xingye: "If you want to get the skin of a tiger, you better take care of yourself."

"Well, it's almost over." He looked at Su Qingqing and said with a smile, "Then please invite our teacher Su to watch another good show."

Su Qingqing readily agreed: "I'm waiting for that day to come."

While they were talking, the auditioning actor, who had finished putting on makeup, walked in, and the assistants gently closed the door to block out the view from outside.

Su Qingqing's book is a tragedy, but it is also filled with all kinds of cold jokes that reveal human nature. This requires the actors to be able to perform both the superficial joy of the characters and the sadness hidden in the various jokes.

As Su Qingqing watched, she gradually began to doubt her life from being very excited at the beginning.

She remembered that her male protagonist was full of emptiness and confusion after his revenge, so why did this actor act like a madman yelling?

Also, the male supporting character's plan just went wrong and indirectly killed his wife, but that doesn't mean he didn't love her. What does this expressionless and heartless look mean?

After seeing off seven or eight actors who had auditioned, not only Su Qingqing, but also the directors in front of her put on masks of pain.

Although they experience this every time they cast a character, they also encounter different eye-catching acting skills every time, which is really hard to get used to.

It wasn't until Xu Jiali came in that the directors perked up and finally had a smile in their eyes.

The first time Su Qingqing saw Xu Jiali, she knew that she could only be the heroine.

Xu Jiali is a very standard light-colored beauty. She wore a white dress prepared by the props team and only had a foundation on her face, but this made her pitiful temperament even more prominent.

She looked at the director with a shy smile, and her slightly trembling eyelashes and hooked charming eyes perfectly portrayed the image of the heroine in Su Qingqing's writing, who seemed shy but was actually seductive.

Director Tian's calm voice sounded: "Let's get started."

This is a scene where she confronts the male lead, but there is no male actor to act opposite her, so she can only perform without props.

Xu Jiali closed her eyes slightly, and when she opened them again, the shyness in her eyes was gone, leaving only mockery and disdain.

Her voice was gentle, but her words pierced the hero's heart:

"I just love money. Money can buy everything I want. Can love buy that?"

She tapped the male protagonist's face and said softly:

"You said I would give myself to anyone for money. That's true. I don't deny it."

"If I sleep with them for one night, I can at least buy a set of brand-name jewelry. But for your so-called love, I not only have to work to earn money during the day, but also wash your clothes, cook for you, and clean the house at night. When I finally have time to relax, I have to listen to your complaints and comfort your grievances."

She stood up and sat back in the chair, blowing on her exquisite nails, and said softly:

"As a person with vested interests, you can criticize me from a moral high ground, but we broke up a long time ago. What right do you have to say that I betrayed your feelings now?"

She seemed to have heard a joke and couldn't help laughing out loud.

As soon as the laughter died down, the expression on her face completely disappeared, leaving only indifference.

"The Bai family is your enemy, so what does it have to do with me? He gives me a lot of money, and I can't wait to sleep with him a few more times."

The male lead slammed the door and left at this time, but since there was no one to act opposite Xu Jiali, the director signaled the staff to knock on the door.

There was a "bang" sound, and Yu Xingye kissed Su Qingqing's earlobe soothingly. He raised his eyes to glance at the door, then continued to lower his head to hold Su Qingqing's hand and play with it carefully.

When Xu Jiali heard the door open, she trembled all over and sat stiffly in the chair.

After a long while, she finally came to her senses and leaned back on the chair, raising her arms to cover her eyes, her voice choking with sobs:

"Feel sorry."

After the short audition, Su Qingqing was still not satisfied. She looked at Yu Xingye with sparkling eyes and whispered:

"Xingxing, this is my heroine!"

Seeing Su Qingqing so excited, Yu Xingye couldn't help but curl his lips. He also leaned close to her ear and whispered:

"Then choose her."

Director Tian asked Xu Jiali a few more questions with an unclear look on his face. After getting satisfactory answers, he finally let go:

"Well done."

Xu Jiali smiled confidently. She looked up at the director and was about to speak when she noticed that there were three people sitting behind her. It was just too dim and she could only see that they were two men and one woman, but not their faces.

Tang Shi coughed to draw her attention back:

"I will contact your agent in three days. Thank you for your audition and your hard work."

Xu Jiali noticed Director Tian's displeasure and the assistant directors' urging, so she had to say goodbye and leave unwillingly.

The moment the door closed, Xu Jiali caught a glimpse of the familiar curve at the corner of Gu Xiao's mouth, and she narrowed her eyes playfully.

She thought she guessed who those three people were.
