Hu Ge felt a little embarrassed by everyone’s praise.
He had only wanted to try out for Jiang Ming.
Now, his inner ambition was directly fueled. An actor who doesn't want to be the protagonist is not a good actor.
Maybe he could try to compete for Li Xiao Yao?
Although Hu Ge was a graduate of a prestigious drama school, he had at least acted in a few stage plays.
He could be considered to have some experience.
This scene happened to be seen by Cai Yilong, the boss of Tangren, and Liu Xiaoli and others who had arrived.
Among the crowd, Luo Yun Chu didn’t expect to bump into Hu Ge, the real deal, while auditioning. It could only be said that good timing is everything.
Unless there was an accident, Hu Ge should be able to pick up the role of Li Xiao Yao by default.
Cai Yilong didn't say anything after seeing this scene. She simply organized for everyone to audition first.
This time, she and several executives, along with the director, would be interviewing.
Hu Ge was a little eager to try. He felt this might be an opportunity.
He made up his mind to try out for the role of Li Xiao Yao!
He completely forgot about Jiang Ming.
There weren't many people auditioning for Li Xiao Yao, only seven people, including Hu Ge.
Luo Yun Chu wasn’t in a hurry. He let the hairstylist style him first and accompanied Sister 茜茜 for her audition.
The two of them were chatting, or to be precise, Liu Yi Fei was chatting endlessly while Luo Yun Chu spoke very little.
He held the script, looking at the simple audition lines. He watched as Luo Yun Chu called out "Xiao Yao Ge Ge" happily.
The hairstylist behind them couldn’t help but curiously ask if the two were a couple.
Liu Yi Fei was about to say yes, but then remembered what her mother had said about their identities. She was lost in thought for a moment before denying it.
It was good to be an actor, a star, but it was inconvenient when it came to finding a partner.
Except for veteran actors.
Luo Yun Chu’s styling was faster than Sister 茜茜’s. When he finished changing clothes, she had just finished her hair.
Liu Yi Fei blinked her watery, beautiful eyes, looking at Luo Yun Chu with a silly smile. No matter what my cousin wore, he looked the best.
Finally, after finishing her makeup, she twirled around happily, holding the script playfully.
“Xiao Yao Ge Ge, does Ling’er look good?”
Liu Yi Fei wore a green long dress embroidered with intricate and complex patterns. She had two little tufts of hair on her head, her face was white as snow, like jade, with a faint pink hue.
Whether it matched the original novel was unknown, but everyone present was captivated.
Yet, this beautiful and elegant girl threw herself into a young man’s arms, her eyes filled with the young man.
It made people’s hearts ache. Then, they looked at the young man’s appearance, and their hearts ached even more.
Luo Yun Chu gently hugged her and said:
“You look beautiful. There's no one more beautiful than you.”
He had to admit that Sister 茜茜 was currently unbeatable. Who wouldn’t be moved by that “Xiao Yao Ge Ge”?
It wasn't just the character's charm, it was a feeling.
Sure enough, Sister 茜茜 in ancient costumes was the complete package. He was already looking forward to seeing her as the Little Dragon Girl.
“Hehe, Yun Chu, you’re even more handsome.” Liu Yi Fei rubbed against Luo Yun Chu’s arms, enjoying it.
My cousin in ancient costumes was a bonus for her!
Ignoring the others, with their fake brother-sister relationship on the outside, as long as they didn’t get too close, no one would say anything.
They were glued to each other for a while.
The other auditionees had finished their styling one after another and were preparing to go for their interview.
Hu Ge was full of confidence. Deng Jiajia had been complimenting him constantly, boosting his confidence.
He was the third in line and went on stage very soon.
While waiting in line, Luo Yun Chu could clearly see Hu Ge’s nervousness, it was obvious.
But he had an advantage that others didn’t. He had a certain resemblance to Li Xiao Yao in the game, in terms of appearance.
Perhaps this was the reason why he would ultimately succeed.
Hu Ge went on stage and started his performance after being told to do so.
Because he lacked experience, he subconsciously acted according to the stage plays he had learned at school.
“I really like you, no matter what you do, I still like you…”
He was stopped by director Li Guoli after a few lines.
“We’re making a TV drama, not a stage play. Don’t deliver your lines so stiffly.”
“Okay, director. I… I’ll try again.”
Hu Ge took a deep breath and started again. This time, it was much better.
No one spoke until he finished his performance.
“Okay, go back and wait for the notification.”
“Thank you, director. Thank you.” Hu Ge bowed repeatedly before leaving the stage.
Actually, the previous auditionee had been even more humble than Hu Ge.
Hu Ge, who was unsure of himself, didn't leave immediately. He wanted to see how his competitors were doing.
Soon, the second person went on stage. From his gait, it could be seen that he was very confident.
Luo Yun Chu thought he had seen wrong when he saw the face.
He thought to himself, “Teacher He even auditioned for Li Xiao Yao? Wasn't he the host of Happy Camp?”
No, this was 2003.
He Jiong was already considered a star in the entertainment industry. Apart from his hosting work, he did actually participate in TV dramas.
But wasn’t this a big jump?
Besides, He Jiong didn't look right in ancient costumes. Hu Ge was more suitable.
But no matter what, He Jiong wasn't a newcomer, so Tangren had to give him some face.
He said a lot, and he was much more polite to He Jiong than to the previous two auditionees.
Hu Ge breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the director wasn't blind, he wouldn't choose He Jiong with that outfit.
He still had a good chance.
Li Guoli politely said:
“Okay, Teacher He, we’ll notify you as soon as we have a decision.”
“Okay.” He Jiong was the type who was neither humble nor arrogant, quite polite. He wouldn't say anything if he wasn’t chosen.
Even if Tangren called him specifically to come.
The next person to go on stage was Luo Yun Chu.
Liu Xiaoli and her daughter cheered him on. The rest of the people who were auditioning for Li Xiao Yao were moved to tears when they saw this.
Those who were realistic left directly, rushing to the next crew.
After all, time is money. What's the point of staying here when you know you won't get it?
Luo Yun Chu, carrying a prop sword, walked onto the stage. He had worn ancient costumes before, so he had experience.
