The director is in trouble [City Lord]

Taking advantage of Ye Gucheng's rest day, Xiao Ming took him to complete the task of how to commute to get off work by bus in the afternoon.We ate dinner outside. After dinner, it was already dark and the weather was not as hot as it was during the day. Xiao Ming decided to walk back and let Ye Gucheng get acquainted with the neighborhood where they lived.

"The few restaurants over there are small restaurants. If I don't come back to cook, you can go to those restaurants to eat." Xiao Ming pointed to several restaurants across the road and introduced them to Ye Gucheng, "That one is a dry cleaner... Do you know how to wash clothes? You can’t send them to that store for washing.”

Ye Gucheng glanced at the dry cleaner Xiao Ming was pointing at, and after a subtle pause, said: "...there is a washing machine."

"Oh, by the way, there is a washing machine at home." He once taught Ye Gucheng how to use the washing machine, because he had never let Ye Gucheng learn how to use it, and he didn't know if Ye Gucheng had learned it.But listening to him say that now, he must have learned it—suddenly I feel so relieved.

Satisfied, Nanny Xiao turned her head to look at Ye Gucheng who was walking beside her, but she passed Ye Gucheng's cheek inadvertently out of the corner of her eye, and saw a man in a white shirt turning around and walking into a bar, and quickly disappeared under the dazzling neon lights middle.What Xiao Ming saw was only the back of that person, but even that was enough for him to recognize him.

Xu Hanwen...

After realizing that Xiao Ming stopped suddenly, Ye Gucheng also stopped, and looked back at Xiao Ming who was standing there.Xiao Ming stood beside the halo of street lights, looking straight at the opposite side of the road, with a somewhat stern expression, one side fell under the halo, and the other side hid in the night, clearly unable to see what he was thinking.

"what happened?"

Seemingly startled by Ye Gucheng's deep voice, Xiao Ming was taken aback for a moment, then his face returned to his usual expression, he raised his hand and scratched his head and said, "It's nothing, it just seems to see an insignificant old friend."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Ming stopped staring at the bar opposite, stretched his arms and stretched his body, and walked forward, "The one opposite is a bar, you'd better not go there, it's easy to meet messy people."

After talking about the bar, Xiao Ming didn't speak again until he got home.

He told Ye Gucheng that he just saw an insignificant old man, and in a sense it was indeed insignificant, but Xiao Ming didn't care about that person as he showed.

Xu Hanwen, two years older than Shen Xiuyuan, is the same age as him. He is the young master of the Xu Consortium, or perhaps it should be said that he was once the young master of the Xu Consortium.Four years ago, the Xu Group was still a big group like the Shen Group. At that time, Shen Xiuyuan and Xu Hanwen were still very good friends.It's just that people's hearts are not enough, and Shen Xiuyuan is not defensive against him. One time when Shen Xiuyuan and Shen Xiuyuan were waiting for Shen Xiuzhe to get off work in Shen's father's office, Xu Hanwen stole important documents of the Shen Group.After that, Shen Xiuyuan lost control and beat Xu Hanwen seriously, and was sent to the detention center.And Xu's consortium took the opportunity to announce to the media that Shen Xiuyuan almost killed Xu Hanwen, which caused a big crisis for Shen's group.Although the Shen family won the business war in the end, and the Xu family had no chance to set foot in City A again, but Shen Xiuyuan was completely hit mentally by that incident.

Xu Hanwen is an old friend, but definitely not an old friend he would welcome.

Xiao Ming knew the reason why this old man appeared here at this time.Xu Hanwen likes Chen Qing, and Chen Qing's death day is coming soon.Chen Qing's death day is July 7th, and it's already July...

Chen Qing passed away after Xu's consortium was forced to withdraw from City A. Xu Hanwen did not appear at Chen Qing's funeral, but Xiao Ming knew that Xu Hanwen would visit Chen Qing's grave every year after that, but he seemed to be consciously avoiding them. When I went to sweep the grave with Shen Xiuyuan, I could only see the things he left behind on the grave, but I never met him once. Tonight was the first time Xiao Ming saw Xu Hanwen after that incident.

Xu Hanwen made Xiao Ming feel gloomy for two consecutive days, but he was so gloomy for two days when he had free time, and the audition for "Mountain and River" officially started two days later.

The audition location is arranged at the Film and Television Hall of City A at 08:30 in the morning.When Xiao Ming arrived at the film and television hall, the producers and directors were all present. The audition for "Mountain and River" was on the third floor of the film and television hall. The hall was reserved for the actors who came to audition. Xiao Ming and the assistant director were in the room on the side of the hall, waiting for the actors to enter the room in order to audition.

As soon as Xiao Ming took his seat at the judge's seat in the room, he heard a knock on the door. Xiao Ming responded, and the door was pushed open. It wasn't an actor who came in, but a familiar bitter face.

"Liu Jie?" Liu Jie was the scene manager of "Ups and Downs" before, and Xiao Ming was fairly familiar with him, "Why are you here?"

"The crew of "Mountain and River" are here to work on the spot! During the audition these two days, the producer asked me to come and help first." Liu Jie said and put the information in his hand in front of Xiao Ming, "Here are the materials of the actors who auditioned today."

"Diligent Comrade Liu Jie." Xiao Ming patted Liu Jie on the shoulder and said.

Liu Jie sighed, and said, "It's all about money. My girlfriend recently fell in love with a new mobile phone..."

Xiao Ming: "..."

The audition will start soon, and the actors will enter the room one by one to audition according to the number.The door of the audition room is open, and those who want to watch can stand at the door.This is also a test for actors. Under the watchful eyes of so many people, those who can unreservedly display their acting skills are those who have stable acting skills and are easy to be selected.The number of people on the first day was not small, but after one day's screening, there were not many people who were selected, and they were all supporting roles.The hero King Chu Xiang, the heroine Su Jinyu, and the first supporting role Li Yi are still undecided.

At the second day's audition, a few capable people finally appeared, and the competition for the hero King Chu Xiang began. When it was almost noon, there were already three people whose reservations for the hero were pending.The three of them have their own characteristics, and their acting skills are pretty good, but Xiao Ming always felt that there was something missing, so he hesitated to make a decision.

On the third day, the heroine was confirmed, and she was played by an actress named Liu Shan from Yuefeng.The actress is not well-known, but her acting skills are solid enough.

"That Liu Shan... isn't pretty enough, is she? The one in front of her is much prettier than her." The assistant director hesitated after seeing Liu Shan go out.

"But that person's appearance is not enough to cover up Liu Shan's acting skills." Xiao Ming waved his hand and said.

The assistant director nodded and shouted out the door: "Next."

Xiao Ming, who was busy inside, had no idea that Ye Gucheng was standing alone at the door of the audition hall.

It was Ye Gucheng's turn to rest today, and he went to the Lin Family Gymnasium for the agreement he had made with Shen Xiuzhe to compete with Lin Na.After leaving the Lin Family Daoist Hall, he stopped by the audition scene that Xiao Ming had told him about.Xiao Ming told him the address, and Ye Gucheng remembered it clearly, but it was his first time here, even if he remembered the place correctly, he didn't know if he had found the right place.

"Ye Gucheng?" A surprised female voice suddenly sounded behind Ye Gucheng.

Ye Gucheng turned his head and saw Yuan Yuan whom he had met once before.After Ye Gucheng nodded coldly, he turned his head and continued to look at the situation in the hall.

"Are you here for an audition?" Yuan Yuan asked hesitantly.

"No." Ye Gucheng replied, but he didn't look at Yuan Yuan standing beside him.

After hearing Ye Gucheng finish the word "no", Yuan Yuan didn't answer, and waited for him to continue, but after waiting for a while, Ye Gucheng did not speak again.That's the end?Shouldn't ordinary people explain what they do?It's really cold enough.

Yuan Yuan muttered in her heart, and could only continue to ask, "Is that for Xiao Ming?"

"Do you know where he is?" Ye Gucheng looked sideways at Yuan Yuan this time.

"Of course I know, I just brought our company's newcomers to meet him." Yuan Yuan greeted the young man who had been following behind her silently. After entering the gate of the audition meeting, she turned her head and said to Ye Gucheng, "Come with me." .”

"Sister Yuan, who is that person? He looks scary..." the young man who followed Yuan Yuan asked cautiously.

"Shut up." Yuan Yuan glared at the newcomer who used the incorrect adjective.What does it mean to look scary?That is the pressure of the aura!I don't know if it's her illusion, Ye Gucheng looked very unapproachable when he was with Xiao Ming, yes, but now it seems even more unapproachable.
