Xie Ning originally thought that the audition was to find a room, the director and his party sat behind the table, and the actors came in one by one to perform, just like an interview.

After being taken into the building by Zhuang Yan, he realized that this was not the case.

The elevator stops on the 7th floor, and when you get out of the elevator, you will face a long corridor.

On the outer side of the corridor is a row of spacious floor-to-ceiling windows. Looking out, you can still see the scene of people coming in and out downstairs.

Xie Ning paused for breath, and leaned in without any trace.

This made him get too close to Zhuang Yan, and when he was walking, his elbow bumped into his arm inadvertently.

Zhuang Yan only thought that he was "throwing himself into his arms", and took advantage of the situation to embrace the person in his arms.

The corners of his mouth curved slightly calmly: "I also said that I didn't know how to restrain myself, and you didn't restrain myself too much."

Xie Ning's face was pale, and he wanted to stare at him, but he remembered something, and silently hugged his arm tightly.

Zhuang Yan looked out of the window, then at Xie Ning's face, suddenly.

He lowered his voice, leaned close to Xie Ning's ear and asked, "Are you... afraid of heights?"

His ears were itchy from the sound of breathing so close at hand, Xie Ning's ears moved, and the fear in his heart eased a bit.

He nodded: "Yes, a little bit."

Zhuang Yan looked at his ears that were afraid of redness or blushing, and smiled silently in his heart, and pulled him to the other side: "Would it be better to walk inside?"

Xie Ning looked straight ahead, not daring to look to the sides at all, and nodded: "It's much better."

The voice was still soft.

Zhuang Yan asked as he walked, "I've never seen you so scared before, and I didn't know you were afraid of heights."

Xie Ning: "The lower floors are fine, the fourth floor up...you can't look down."

Zhuang Yan was curious: "It's the first time I've heard that I'm afraid of heights and I still depend on the number of floors."

Xie Ning licked his lips unconsciously: "This fear of heights is... a psychological reason."

Zhuang Yan raised his eyebrows thoughtfully, and asked again: "Looking down, how does it feel?"

Xie Ning's face turned even paler, he closed his eyes, and said after a while, "I feel...I'm going to jump down."

Zhuang Yan was taken aback.

As he was staring blankly, a group of people rushed towards him, bumping into him at the door of the meeting room.

Xie Ning took a glance and found that apart from the Zhao Yang he knew and an assistant director, there were a few others he hadn't seen before.

They don't look like ordinary people in their clothes, they are here to audition, and they don't have that kind of temperament - some of them don't even match their age.

The most outstanding one was about the same height as Zhuang Yan, and he was dressed very carefully. Anyone in that group of people could see him at first sight.

She looks too good, her appearance is good, her facial features are sharp and angular, her lips are slightly raised, she looks gentle and elegant, and she has a different kind of flair.

Xie Ning subconsciously took another look, until Zhuang Yan pulled him into the meeting room.

Taking advantage of no one's attention, Zhao Yang took two quick steps and approached them, joking in a low voice: "Why do you feel like you are stuck in glue, and you are not happy to be separated for a while? You have to bring them for the audition?"

"What are you talking about?" Zhuang Yan squinted at him, then pulled Xie Ning to sit beside him.

Zhao Yang didn't mind, he pulled away the chair on the other side of Xie Ning, and after sitting down, he introduced others to Xie Ning in a low voice.

"That is Wenxin's person in charge, called Wang Congliang, Wenxin, you should know, we are another big investor in this movie, and those next to him are also investors, but the amount is not as big as Wenxin..."

Xie Ning nodded as he listened, admiring the fathers of these benefactors.

Seeing his appearance, Zhao Yang said cheerfully, "You don't have to be too restrained. The one who invests the most is your Zhuang Dao. He has a lot of money, and every time the filming ends, he will make up as much as he wants. He is not afraid of losing money at all."

Xie Ning estimated the investment cost of the movie, and then compared the funds in his hand with the dealer behind Zhuang Yan, and suddenly he was not so restrained.

Thinking this way, he raised his head and glanced at the opposite side, only to find that other people's eyes also seemed to fall on him.

Especially the one who stands out the most, looking at him with a smile, a flash of scrutiny in his eyes.

Xie Ning didn't know why, but he didn't sense any malice from him, so he didn't worry about it, and even blinked when he looked at him.

The man was taken aback, then smiled at him, looked away, and whispered something to the people around him.

What Xie Ning didn't know was that today was indeed the male lead's audition, but there was only one person who came to the audition, and that was Sheng Shisong.

Wen Xin wanted Sheng Shisong to be the hero before, but Zhuang Yan refused to let go. In the end, Wen Xin could only take a step back and gave Sheng Shisong a priority audition right, and the investment amount has shrunk by a circle.

When Zhuang Yan brought Xie Ning in, the investor's heart skipped a beat.

Without him, because Xie Ning was born so well and had an extraordinary temperament, Wang Congliang suspected that it was Zhuang Yantui who pushed him to fight Sheng Shisong.

In the film industry, the actor that the director likes and the actor that the investor likes are often not the same, and the final result is often not up to the actor to decide, it depends on who has more confidence on both sides.

In the final analysis, it is still the battlefield of capital.

"I don't think he's here to audition for the male lead." The person involved, Sheng Shisong, was calm.

Sitting next to him was his agent Chen Guangbin, who couldn't help but glared at him: "It's true that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is in a hurry."

After a pause, he couldn't help asking: "How do you say?"

Sheng Shisong said: "It doesn't look like it, it looks like an amateur with no acting experience."

Chen Guangbin was dumbfounded: "Amateurs are more competitive. Some directors just like to use amateurs, saying that they are simple and natural, and they can be trained to shape them into what they want."

Sheng Shisong thought for a while: "Then he can't do it either. If you use an amateur, the temperament will definitely be more appropriate. His words..."

Chen Guangbin became curious: "How is he?"

Sheng Shisong's lips twitched: "The demeanor is too cold, the eyes are too innocent, and the image of the male protagonist is far from the image. You have read the script, the male protagonist is a slutty and frivolous son of a family, flirtatious but not indecent , it is a great challenge for an amateur who has no acting experience to take on the role, no matter how dissatisfied Director Zhuang is with me, he will not choose this kind of temperament that is completely inconsistent."

Chen Guangbin listened to what he said clearly, and let go of the worries in his heart a little, and then wondered: "But what is Director Zhuang doing here now?"

Sheng Shisong hesitated for a moment: "Actually, his temperament is quite consistent with another character..."

Chen Guangbin: "Which one?"

Sheng Shisong: "The second male lead, that high-spirited, glamorous and famous actor."

After a pause, he vetoed it himself: "...It's not very good either, that role requires a certain foundation in drama."

Chen Guangbin thought about it for a while, and found that none of the other important roles were suitable for him, so he simply stopped thinking about it: "Whatever his role is, don't just compete with you for the male lead."

Sheng Shisong nodded, and smiled again: "Even if someone comes to snatch it, I might not fail to snatch it."

Although Zhuang Yan returned to China not long ago, he is already notoriously difficult in the investment circle.

It's not that there are directors with weird tempers in the film industry, some are arrogant and have weird personalities, but anyway, if you pay a high price, everyone will shut up obediently.

But Zhuang Yan can't, as much as you smash, he can double it back.

If Wenxin hadn't released too many money-making commercial films in the past two years, and his reputation had dropped to the extreme, he wouldn't have chosen to cast in Zhuang Yan's film.

A group of people chatted for a while in the conference room, and then Wang Congliang took the lead and brought the topic to today's audition.

Wang Congliang's Mediterranean hairstyle is shiny because of some hairspray today: "We've finished sharing the cake. Today we mainly come to audition. Let's not talk too much. Let's watch Shisong's performance."

As he spoke, he promoted Sheng Shisong to Zhuang Yan again, such as outstanding acting skills, box office guarantee, Yu Guang couldn't help turning a corner on Xie Ning.

Zhuang Yan pretended not to see it, turned around and introduced to Xie Ning, "Sheng Shisong, you're here to audition for the male lead today."

Xie Ning glanced at Sheng Shisong, and now he felt familiar: "I seem to have a bit of impression, has acted in "The Lawyer"?"

"The Lawyer" is a commercial film produced by Wenxin. Its box office was extremely high back then, but its reputation was polarized. Some people praised it wildly, and some people criticized it as worse than a bad movie. It was a purely money-making work.

Xie Ning was dragged to the cinema by Yan Xi at the time, and because it wasn't his favorite style, he didn't feel much about watching it.

On the contrary, Yan Xi liked this movie very much, and at that time he was arguing vigorously with people on the Internet.

In short, there is no conclusion whether it is a good movie or a bad movie, so the topicality of the movie is not generally high.

In the end, both sides were labeled as hype.

Listening to their conversation, Wang Congliang shifted his gaze to Xie Ning and asked, "... who is this?"

Zhuang Yan introduced, "Xie Ning."

Seeing Wang Congliang's confused face, he added: "Have you heard of the Xie family who are in the real economy?"

Wang Congliang suddenly realized that it was nothing new for the rich second generation to invest in the film and television industry.

Zhuang Yan drew a number: "My investment is half of his."

Taking advantage of Sheng Shisong's preparations, Xie Ning pulled Zhuang Yan blankly: "What did you mean just now?"

Zhuang Yan rubbed his hair: "I'm afraid they'll underestimate you if you say it's the art master. The one who came today is either the boss or a well-known producer."

"I didn't ask this." Xie Ning tugged at his sleeve, "When did I invest half of your investment?"

"This." Zhuang Yan responded with a smile, and said after a while, "Although I don't have it now, I will have half of you one day."

Xie Ning was even more confused: "Didn't you say that the funds are already saturated, and I never thought about investing."

Zhuang Yan chuckled: "Shouldn't you have half of the joint property of husband and wife?"

Xie Ning: "..."

He looked at Zhuang Yan with a calm expression, and couldn't help but start thinking wildly.

Is Zhuang Yan's progress on the same channel as him? Before he agreed at this moment, Zhuang Yan started talking about marriage.

If he agrees, will Zhuang Yan...

Thinking about it, he shook off Zhuang Yan's hand, his cheeks were inexplicably stained with red.

What are you thinking at this time!

Before today, Xie Ning had been trying to figure out the image of the hero.

To be honest, in the script written by Zhuang Yan, the hero is not a likable character.

He is romantic, slutty, lingering among all kinds of beauties, and he is an image of a playboy.

But he is also responsible and affectionate. After falling in love with Bai Yueguang at the teahouse at first sight, he will never forget it until the end of the play.

If the actor fails to grasp his personality charm, he will either play the protagonist as a disgusting scumbag, or appear to have a split personality.

Xie Ning also always wondered what kind of person such a protagonist would be, and whether anyone could really shape it.

Until he saw Sheng Shisong's performance.

What he auditioned for was the scene where the hero and Bai Yueguang first met.

Bai Yueguang was sitting in a rickshaw, and inadvertently looked back when passing by downstairs, and the male protagonist glanced down from the teahouse.

The props on the scene are very simple, just a table and a few paper cups.

Sheng Shisong twisted his fingertips on the cup, and the suave taste came out.

There was a smile on his lips, and his eyes were full of carelessness. The paper cup was like a ceramic cup in a teahouse, and it made a crisp sound under the light tap of his fingertips.

After a long while, Yue Mo felt bored, he turned his head and casually looked towards the window, and the sound of the impact suddenly stopped.

Casual emotions gradually dissipated.

A look of astonishment flashed just right in his eyes.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or an accident.

Sheng Shisong's gaze fell on Xie Ning for a split second.

"OK." Zhuang Yan interrupted him with a cold face.

Sheng Shisong withdrew his gaze and returned to his original gentle and upright appearance.

Xie Ning's eyes lingered on Sheng Shisong's body for a while, and suddenly he seemed to be enlightened, and understood what was missing in the look he had designed for the male lead.

With inspiration, he couldn't help but grabbed Zhuang Yan's hand next to him.

Zhuang Yan paused, and then said to Sheng Shisong expressionlessly: "This paragraph is fine, try the next paragraph."

The author has something to say: Zhuang Zhuang: Don't look at my family Ningning like that.

Ning Ning: (eyes brighten) I have an inspiration!

Zhuangzhuang: (jealous)
