In a sense, the second audition went extremely well.

The audition was still where it was last time, but this time there were only three people with him.One of them was seen last time, and the other two are new faces, so it can be seen that many people actually came to the first audition.

The content of the audition is similar, but the difference is the person who casts the cast.

This time he saw screenwriter Jiang Chaoren, and he almost didn't recognize him because he was dressed too sloppily.In addition, on the basis of the last time, there were a few more people sitting in a row, and they only felt majestic at a glance.

After he finished, he was asked a few questions and asked to improvise.When asked if he could speak Shanghainese, Xu Zhizhen hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said, "Yes, but not much."

"Oh?" The other party was an elderly lady who tapped the cap of her pen and asked, "Looking at the information, you are an authentic Beijinger, how can you speak Shanghainese? Do you have relatives who are from Shanghai? Or did you stay in Shanghai when you were young?"

Xu Zhizhen shook his head, "No, my manager asked me to learn it, and I only learned it for a week." After a pause, he added, "I think it's okay, but it's quite difficult."

The atmosphere was suffocated, and then someone laughed, fearing that he was being honest.

The lady who asked the question couldn't help but hold her forehead, twirled the pen, and wrote something on the paper.

She finally said, "See you're a smart one, yes."

After he came out, he realized that his back was covered in cold sweat. After getting into the car and talking to Tao Chuan, both of them were silent.

Tao Chuan just shook his head, "It's a dangerous move."

Xu Zhizhen was paralyzed on the sofa, relieved after shaking off the shock, and said, "I've thought about several answers, and I decided to use this one, let's take a gamble."

In fact, it is very subtle, because this kind of thing is not airtight, he has Tao Chuan told him, there is no guarantee that others will not know.If you want to ask, it is estimated that everyone has asked.If he does, he should explain why he does.

Whether you make up a lie and say that you have learned it, or tell the truth, the results of the two are very different.At that moment, his mind was a little blank, whether it was true to give his essential reaction in front of the casting teachers, admitting that he actually couldn't, but someone told him to learn, or gave him a made-up excuse. This hurdle can always make a lie in the future.

Each has its pros and cons, and it depends on luck to bet on which answer the other party prefers.

Simply he bet right.But even if the bet is wrong, if the other party raises doubts, he has already figured out how to defend with eloquence.

This is the first time he faced the choice intuitively, if he made a mistake, he might be out.

Putting his hand on his face, Xu Zhizhen wailed, "The entertainment industry is really scary."

Yes, the entertainment industry is of course scary.

On the contrary, Tao Chuan was absent-minded, looking out the window and thinking in a daze.

The entertainment industry seems to be looking into a demon mirror, so real.You are popular, thousands of people support you, and everything you do is right and good. Naturally, it is difficult to face those dirty and despicable things, because everyone shows their wonderful side in front of you. God is here The open window in front of you can only see the rising sun. You are respectful, and he is also respectful. It spreads the joy and harmony, and even praises you for being popular and humble.You are not popular, you are obstructed in every possible way, no one pays attention to you, you are just an ant, bent down to ask for advice humbly in order to fight for the future, bow your head to be a man, try to climb the peak by your own efforts, and be seen by everyone.But most people can't make it to that time, maybe they see through that they won't be popular, so it's better to just stop.Or maybe they don’t have such a personality at all, acting boldly and recklessly, if it has always been like this, it’s fine, but once they become popular, the past history is confessed by the Internet, and the details are revealed by those who are interested or malicious. Say, even if you don't have this thought, you will be deliberately said according to this thought.

So the entertainment industry is scary, and it is not difficult to move forward, but the road to success is always difficult.

The reason why Xu Zhizhen is still afraid of the aftermath of the audition just now is because he is far from being able to take on the responsibility alone.He can only be chosen by others, and he naturally has to bear the fear and worry of being chosen by others.

No one likes this feeling.

The road was wide, and the car was unimpeded all the way, and it started to get blocked when we reached the city, and Xu Zhizhen had already fallen asleep. Tao Chuan was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he took a small blanket to cover him.

When I got home, I was catching up with the evening rush hour. Fortunately, there was no traffic jam for a long time, and I arrived in a small half.Tao Chuan woke up Xu Zhizhen, handed him the bag, and told him to contact him at night.

As dusk fell, Xu Zhizhen glanced at the sky, nodded at Tao Chuan, got out of the car and knocked on the door.

The car should not stay on the side of the road for too long, Xu Zhizhen drove away as soon as he got out of the car.Behind is the quiet alley entrance, in front is the hustle and bustle of traffic, the sky is a slanting sun, glowing deep red, a large piece of smudged purple sky, and floating clouds, all hanging lazily in the sky.

Xu Zhizhen took a deep breath, turned and left.

Wu Xiufang got the news of Xu Zhizhen's return in the morning, so she went to the market early in the morning to buy vegetables, and spent the whole afternoon cooking up a table of vegetables. Just in time for Xu Zhizhen to come back, she greeted him at the door with a smile.

He was also greeted by Bubbles.Bubble has grown a lot, it really looks like jadeite, but it is not as cold and gorgeous, and has a little more silly temperament, but in Xu Zhizhen's eyes, they are all extremely cute.

He hugged Pao Pao to eat, and jumped down after eating a few mouthfuls of Pao Pao, expressing that he didn't care about his child-hugging cat, but to show that it still remembered the excrement shoveler, so the charity nest was at his feet While licking fur.Xu Zhizhen had no choice but to continue to eat while coping with Wu Xiufang's enthusiastic pick-ups and all kinds of gossip inquiries.

Talking about when the finished movie will be released, Xu Zhizhen figured it out, and realized that it's already May now, and if it goes well... the wind and moon will come soon.

As for fleeing and killing, at least it will be next year, so there is no rush.

Recalling the life in the film crew at that time, it seemed half a lifetime later, he missed it so much, so he comforted himself, everything can’t be rushed, let’s cherish the relaxed life now, maybe in the future we will never be able to live it.

Xu is a prophecy, Xu Zhizhen successfully received the news of the third audition.

This time, only a part of the script was given, and the notification was extremely fast, almost at the speed of light. The notification was made the next day, and the preparation time was only two days. Xu Zhizhen took an evening class off to go to the audition.

It has been half a month since I officially came into contact with this script, and Xu Zhizhen finally got his wish to meet director Zhong Kexin.

This time is like a big audition, with all kinds of actors gathered here, there are men, women, old and young, and he is a little face blind, so it is impossible to know how many people entered the third part of the character Wu An with him. It was the first round of auditions, so I had no choice but to prepare in the corner with the script in hand.

However, the location of the audition was changed this time, and the preparation room became a large lounge, which was always noisy and dry.Because there are so many people, everyone seems to be the same as me. They are not very familiar with the people around them, and they don’t know whether their competition pressure is great, so they panic all of a sudden. get up.In particular, there are one or two people who are good-looking, very confident at first glance, full of momentum, talking loudly to the people around them, not afraid of being exposed, and it seems that they can definitely win this role in their words.

Xu Zhizhen only listened to a girl nearby, and felt that he couldn't hear anything, so he put on noise-cancelling headphones and didn't ask any questions, and just read the script.

After the audition of Wu Fangjiu, Xu Zhizhen was about to go out, but he didn't expect the other party to drop a bomb.

It was Zhong Kexin who was sitting in the middle who said it, and he announced formally, "Congratulations, you have won the role of Wu An, and the follow-up matters will be discussed with your agent. If you have any questions now, you can directly ask them." .”

Xu Zhizhen has realized what it means to have one's wish come true, but he has not realized that his heart is full of joy.I just froze for a moment, and asked with some doubts, "Excuse me... How many people are there in this round of interviews?"

Zhong Kexin didn't speak, and the person who was interviewing next to him laughed, "Only you."

"Ah?" Xu Zhizhen frowned, and asked tentatively, "But... isn't it said that there are three rounds of auditions?"

The other party didn't intend to hide anything, and quickly replied, "Who told you that there are three rounds of auditions?"

He looked at Xu Zhizhen's gradually clear expression, and said with a hearty smile, "Actually, the ones that are being prepared outside are almost all confirmed people, but there are still a few people mixed in to confuse the view. Let you be nervous and see how the state is."

Xu Zhizhen was amazed, they were really amazing.

"But... what if the show fails if you don't hold your breath?"

"Then there's no other way, let's replace it with someone else."

After Xu Zhizhen left, he told Tao Chuan the news. Tao Chuan was very happy, and before he got in the car, he planned to have supper later, and asked Xu Zhizhen what he wanted to eat.

He said that everything is fine, and Tao Chuan will arrange it.

While waiting on the way, Xu Zhizhen told Tao Chuan what he thought.

Tao Chuan was obviously taken aback, and he didn't speak for a long time. He touched his heart and panted when the car was almost at the food stall, "Really...that's too scary..."

Xu Zhizhen was also heartbroken, and sighed, "The last time I asked me about the Shanghai dialect, it was just a test. If I had lied, maybe no matter how good the performance was, it would be impossible to make it this time."

Tao Chuan also said, "It was the same today. At that time, I also thought that the big lounge was weird. I had never seen such a noisy audition place. Now that I think about it, they did it on purpose... and even arranged for people to disturb the scene there." The atmosphere is really...smart enough."

"Also," Xu Zhizhen tried hard to recall, "Every time the audition results come out, it takes a week, right? Anyway, it's been a long time, and I'm used to it. This time, I was notified of the audition within two days. I was a little confused, I just explained that maybe I was in a hurry to get a role. I didn’t expect it to be because of this. If I didn’t succeed, then he would then notify the next candidate to come and audition, and the other party wouldn’t have any doubts, after all, it’s normal according to their notification. In terms of time, it's less than seven days, maybe the result hasn't come down yet, so don't worry."

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this crew is quite powerful. The audition alone has dug a lot of holes. Xu Zhizhen's agitated heart is almost completely cold, but Tao Chuan is very accepting, so he is pulled down to the food stall hall. Sitting in the living room, the draft comes through the back door, bringing in the early summer breeze, the tempting aroma of grilled skewers, and the sound of beer shaking.

What a wonderful summer.

Tao Chuan saw that he was exhausted after being frightened, and comforted him, "...so it's all yours to persevere. Don't think too much, this crew...should have a reason for doing this."

Hearing that the meaning was wrong, Xu Zhizhen was slacking off at first, and asked her, "What's the reason?"

Tao Chuan was originally trying to comfort him, so he didn't think too much about it. Instead, he was taken aback when he was asked, and shrugged, "Maybe...the lineup is stronger? This film is aimed at winning awards, and the actors are selected as top-notch as possible." Naturally, the requirements are more stringent.”

Speaking of this, Xu Zhizhen remembered that he hadn't searched for information about this movie.According to the fact that it is currently in the stage of recruiting actors, there should already be relevant gossip news on the Internet, such as which leading actors have been selected, such as the subject matter...

During this period of time, because of some anxiety, he mainly spent his time preparing for the audition. Instead, he spent less time surfing the Internet. In addition, he was not very curious about who the leading actor was, so he didn't think of searching the Internet for a while.

With a phone call, Tao Chuan summoned several studio employees who were free to eat barbecue skewers together, and there were at least one of them, waiting for the skewers to be served. If Zhizhen succeeded in the audition, Xu Zhizhen also raised a smile and responded with a hearty toast.

After finally coping with the round, a lot of skewers came up, and everyone started to eat skewers. Instead, he was free, took a lamb skewer and ate it slowly, and at the same time typed "a man" in the search box.

The first thing that popped up was a popular Weibo, with thousands of retweets and only one line of writing.

"Xie Bei, Pan Gaoming joined the film "A Man" directed by Zhong Kexin and written by Jiang Chaoren"

The time was more than half a month ago.

Xu Zhizhen almost dropped the phone.
