Dressing Room
The staff member led Luo Yun Chu to the fitting mirror. Before putting on the clothing of the Prince of Dali, they needed to do some touch-ups.
Even for an audition, the best effect was sought after.
But the makeup artist carefully examined Luo Yun Chu's features. He was like a flawless jade, leaving the makeup artist nowhere to start.
Just like that girl named Liu Yi Fei.
If it were for a formal shoot, they would definitely apply some shadows, but not for the audition.
Filled with envy
He directly took the Prince's costume and asked.
"Do you know how to put this on? If not, I can help you change?"
Luo Yun Chu shook his head and politely declined. It was a bit too much for a man to be helping him change.
He still knew how to put on these clothes.
...
In the courtyard
Aunt Liu sat upright on a stool, she had great confidence in Luo Yun Chu.
But she knew that many people in this courtyard were not convinced. Everyone thought they were the best.
But she knew that as long as Little Yun Chu put on the clothes and appeared in front of the big-bearded director, the role was his.
Liu Yi Fei was chatting with Shu Chang on the side about her cousin. Their roles had been decided early on.
Naturally, they didn't have the pressure that the others did.
After all, in this industry, every step you take is important. Everyone wants to be a star.
Especially a leading role in Beijing.
"He's here"
Someone shouted, and everyone turned their gaze towards the entrance of the dressing room.
Luo Yun Chu was dressed in pristine white, his long hair simply tied back, his handsome face like a delicate painting, his eyes as dark as ink, his nose high and straight, his lips red and teeth white.
A young man, in a white robe, tall and elegant, with such charm.
Luo Yun Chu, who came from a scholarly family, exuded a gentle aura.
His temperament and appearance perfectly matched the image of Prince Duan in the minds of most people.
He even surpassed their expectations.
"Good!" Zhang Ji Zhong was the first to clap in approval, and others slowly came to their senses.
Ma Dan He's heart sank upon seeing this appearance. Now, he could only hope that Luo Yun Chu's acting skills were terrible.
Liu Xiao Li's brows unconsciously relaxed. Yun Chu truly combined the best of his parents' features.
It was all worth the effort she had put in.
Shu Chang was already mentally prepared, but he was still amazed. He said enviously.
"Fei Jie, you're pretty enough, but your cousin is also so handsome. This role is definitely his. Look, the director already said so."
The flattering words made Liu Yi Fei put her hands on her hips, her little face filled with pride.
"Of course my cousin is handsome. Don't even think about him."
Shu Chang naturally agreed with Liu Yi Fei, but in his heart, he thought, "Why is my elder sister being so possessive?"
Luo Yun Chu came to the center of the courtyard, facing the gaze of everyone, he was calm and composed, showing no sign of nervousness.
"Director, which part should I try?"
Zhang Ji Zhong nodded. This kind of composure was not found in many people, most would be a bit nervous.
Even more so for a teenager.
"You can take a look at the script for the 'Dry Well' scene. I'll find someone to act with you."
Hearing the words "acting partner,"
Almost all the actresses who could be named stood up, volunteering themselves.
They were even bolder than the men.
After all, Liu Yi Fei didn't have this treatment when she auditioned. But this also had to do with Liu Xiao Li's watchful eye.
With her mother watching closely, even if they had any impure thoughts, they could only hide them.
Liu Yi Fei was unhappy seeing so many people vying for her place, but because her mother and the director were there,
She couldn't say anything and could only weakly raise her hand.
But Zhang Ji Zhong glanced around and directly appointed someone.
"Yan Dan Chen, come on. You're already wearing the costume, which saves trouble."
A decisive decision.
Liu Yi Fei's little face was filled with displeasure. If she knew this was going to happen, she would have worn the costume even if she had to be tired.
After the audition, she thought the role was hers, because the director was scheduling the filming.
She relaxed…
If her cousin had come a few days earlier, this wouldn't have happened.
Yan Dan Chen, wearing the costume, didn't expect such a good thing to happen. If she performed well, would she still have a chance for the role of Wang Yu Yan?
After all, anything was possible before filming began.
Even though she had seen Liu Yi Fei's audition and knew that her hopes were slim, but who wouldn't fight for a sliver of possibility?
She took a few glances at Luo Yun Chu.
She was purely attracted by his appearance. She thought, even if she didn't get the role, simply acting a scene with this younger student would be worth it.
She was also a student at Beijing Film Academy, but she had already graduated.
She was from the class of '96.
Luo Yun Chu was from the class of '02.
...
Luo Yun Chu didn't expect Yan Dan Chen to be his acting partner. He had a strong impression of this senior.
After all, he had watched a lot of "Bao Lian Deng" (The Legend of the White Snake).
At the director's request, the two took the script and found a separate area to memorize lines, discuss, and prepare for their performance.
Luo Yun Chu basically memorized the lines after reading them once. The benefit of rebirth, photographic memory, was a basic ability.
Their initial interaction was quite pleasant.
They were both from Beijing Film Academy, so it was like a senior guiding a junior.
Although the scene might have a hint of romance.
But Yan Dan Chen jokingly said that others wouldn't be able to do it, but the younger student could.
Luo Yun Chu "oh"ed and asked.
"Senior, why can you do it?"
Yan Dan Chen said, "Because I believe you will become a star. If I were the director, I would definitely choose you. Then, my future would depend on you, younger student."
She held back just the right amount. Luo Yun Chu didn't feel offended by her words.
Liu Yi Fei, watching from the side, knew that this was normal interaction, but she couldn't stand it.
It had been a long time since she remembered the arranged marriage.
Even she herself hadn't realized that she had already seen Luo Yun Chu as her possession.
At the age of fourteen or fifteen, it was adolescence, the time when people were most sensitive to love and affection.
How could she be happy with others interacting with him.
After waiting for ten minutes,
Yan Dan Chen had memorized the lines, and Luo Yun Chu was ready. Next came the audition.
A space was cleared in the center.
The two stood in the middle.
She was not a rookie, she didn't feel nervous in front of a crowd of people.
With Zhang Ji Zhong's gesture, they put down their scripts and sat on the ground, looking at each other.
The audition didn't have many rules. Zhang Ji Zhong pulled over a wooden stool and said.
"Start."
