After Wen Ran introduced himself at the audition, he heard the director say, “Perform the third act.”
“Third act?” Wen Ran was stunned, having no idea what the other person was talking about.
Director Xu is nearly 50 years old and has met countless artists. When he saw Wen Ran’s confused look, he immediately knew something about it, so when he spoke again, he sounded a little impatient, “It was the scene where the murderer of Mo Ziluo’s whole family was killed.”
Mo Ziluo is the role Wen Ran is auditioning for.
After the words fell, Wen Ran still made no move, just blinked and looked at them as if he didn’t hear them. Director Xu, along with the producer, supervisor and others, frowned. They communicated with their eyes, and finally Director Xu said, “Don’t you remember the lines?”
When someone asked the right question, Wen Ran nodded awkwardly,
The director sighed and shouted to the staff on the side, “Xiao Li, hand him the script.”
Director Xu is used to sending scripts to auditioning actors in advance. Wen Ran didn’t remember the first audition he had after becoming famous. The person who gave the lines had no expectations for his performance.
Sure enough, as soon as Wen Ran started performing, he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. After the performance, Director Xu asked Wen Ran, “What kind of person do you think Mo Ziluo is?”
Wen Ran thought for a while and said, “I think he is a person who hates evil as much as he hates hatred.”
After hearing this, Director Xu put down the pen in his hand and asked sternly, “Then why didn’t you show it just now? For those who don’t know, I thought you were acting coquettishly to the murderer!”
Acting coquettishly? Pfft, someone laughed out loud. Director Xu glanced at the person, then turned to face Wen Ran, who was blushing, and said in a tone of resentment, “Acting is not playing house. If you don’t want to act, you can take advantage of your youth to change your career, don’t waste your time.”
Wen Ran’s face was burning and his fingers kept twisting the corners of his clothes. This is the first time that he will be criticized so bluntly, by a group of old people…
When he heard the words “Go back and wait for the news,” he finally relaxed his tense nerves.
Before closing the door and leaving, he heard a voice coming from inside saying, “Tell me, they are both artists from Yingyou Media, how come the difference between their acting skills is so great? Bai Chen’s acting skills are really superb…”
Wen Ran didn’t finish listening to what he said afterwards, but he didn’t care at all. He curled his lips and left with his hands in his pockets, thinking to himself, what if Bai Chen has acting skills? Isn’t he still the defeated enemy of his?
“How’s it going? What did Director Xu say?” As soon as Wen Ran came out, his manager, Sister Zhang, immediately ran to him, as did his assistant.
Wen Ran paused and looked at the manager with an earnest expression on his face as he lightly replied with two words, “It’s stable.”
In fact, he was panicked when he was criticized so mercilessly by Director Xu just now. Then there was anger. He was angry that Director Xu had embarrassed him in front of a group of people. He even couldn’t help but wonder if He Yu had done anything against him, but then he suddenly thought of what other people had said about the director. Director Xu’s temperament has always been like this. He has always been straightforward. Perhaps this is the style that the other party cannot change.
Wen Ran instantly dismissed his criticism and even felt that he was stable. He couldn’t explain why, but he always had a feeling that his wishes would come true, just like before.
Once she heard it, the agent was even happier than Wen Ran as she naturally accepted his words, “I’m going to study the script carefully. Don’t bother me again in the next two days.”
**********
The day after he said he would move back home, Qin Yu moved back, commuting on time, resting, being a guinea pig for tasting the dishes cooked by Mrs. He. His life was both leisurely and fulfilling.
On this day, he returned home as usual, only to find that there was suddenly an extra person at home today, “Elder brother.”
“I haven’t seen you for a while, A’Yu.” He Huanting put the laptop aside and looked at Qin Yu with a smile.
He doesn’t look as aggressive as Qin Yu and Pei Jinzhi. Instead, he gives people a gentle feeling, especially when he smiles, he is like a warm spring breeze. But no one dares to underestimate him. After all, his strength is obvious to all, and while he is always talking and laughing, he can make you bankrupt, so who dares to offend him?
“Welcome home, brother.” He Huanting has been out on business the past few days. Qin Yu handed the coat to the servant, walked over, glanced at the laptop screen and asked him, “Why are you working in the living room?”
“Isn’t it because I’m waiting for you?”
Qin Yu raised his eyebrows, “Waiting for me?”
“Yes.” He Huanting nodded.
Qin Yu suddenly had a bad premonition, “Is something wrong?”
He Huanting smiled, “Don’t be nervous, it’s not a big deal.”
The more you say that, the more nervous I become, Qin Yu thought to himself. He Huanting thought for a while and said directly, “It’s really not a big deal. I just wanted to ask if you are free this weekend?”
“No.” Qin Yu answered immediately. “Really?” He Huanting raised his eyebrows slightly.
“Okay, yes.” Qin Yu lowered his shoulders.
“Then can you do me a favor?”
“First tell me what kind of favor you are asking for, and then I will consider whether to agree or not.”
“Will I still harm you? Is there really no trust between us brothers at all?”
This sentence sounded so familiar that Qin Yu immediately went to recall it. In his memory, He Huanting also said the same thing, then He Yu was dressed as a little girl and had his picture taken, and he used the picture to block his pursuer. When questioning him afterwards, He Huanting said that he had no choice but to make them believe that he had someone he liked. In his first attempt, he’d found a picture on the Internet but they saw through it immediately…
“A’Yu, why are you distracted?” He Huanting asked as he waved his hand in front of his eyes, and Qin Yu immediately came back to his senses and said righteously, “Say it first, I will help you, but this time I will not dress up as a woman!”
Because he understood He Huanting’s sinister nature after failing to achieve his goals. Not wanting to give up, Qin Yu compromised, but he also stated the conditions in advance.
“Don’t worry! I won’t harm you.” He Huanting patted his shoulder and smiled mysteriously.
“That’s right!” Before going upstairs, Qin Yu stopped and turned around to ask He Huanting, “When will I have a sister-in-law?”
He Huanting turned his head and looked at him, “When will I have younger siblings?” Thinking of Qin Yu’s love affair, he paused, and then said, “Or younger brother?”
“Just wait!”
***********
“Secretary He, how is the audition we’re holding going?” Qin Yu asked He Nan in the company.
“Unexpectedly, the number of applicants exceeded our imagination. We receive a lot of resumes from all over the world every day.” He Nan was following Qin Yu, and when he heard him asking about the draft, he immediately said with enthusiasm.
“That’s good, but we have to do a good job in the preliminary selection. We can’t ask for everyone, especially those with serious moral problems.”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Xiao He, I will definitely instruct our staff to do a good job in selecting applications.” He Nan nodded repeatedly, not paying attention and almost bumping into Qin Yu who stopped suddenly, “Mr. He?”
“Secretary He.” Qin Yu looked at the sneaky figure at the end of the corridor on the first floor, unhappy. Thief? Probably not. He still quite trusts Yingyou’s security. The next moment, he strode over and asked, “Who are you? What are you doing here?”
“Ah!” The other party trembled violently, and it was obvious that he was very frightened as he slowly turned around.
Qin Yu suddenly found that the person in front of him looked familiar. Before he could remember it, the other person immediately took a step back, pointed at Qin Yu with his mouth open and said, “You are not the one in the bar…”
Qin Yu raised an eyebrow, as he remembered.
Isn’t this the boy who wears sunglasses at night? Realizing what this kid wanted to say, Qin Yu smiled coldly and successfully made the other person swallow the words that came to his lips.
The system thought silently, this guy’s mental quality is not good.
At this time, “Wei Zhe, what are you doing pointing at Mr. He!” A clear female voice came from behind them, and then a capable-looking woman trotted up to Qin Yu with an apologetic look on her face, “Sorry, Mr. He, my brother has a brilliant mind, don’t worry about it.”
Qin Yu had some impression of her. If he remembered correctly, she is an employee of the company or an agent.
Wei Zhe looked at the handsome mixed-race man in front of him and thought, so he is my sister’s big boss, he is so good-looking.
…….
“So, you came to sign up for our talent show? But because you were afraid of being discovered by your sister, you did it secretly?”
After some conversation, Qin Yu finally figured out the whole story.
Wei Zhe nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice, “Yes, that’s right, that’s what happened.” Wei Yuan listened and was almost furious, can’t this brat have some self-awareness? He still signed up for the draft?!
While she was angry, Wei Yuan suddenly heard Qin Yu ask her, “I don’t understand, why did you stop him? Are you afraid that he will delay his studies?” According to the conversation, Wei Zhe is still in college.
“Not really.” Wei Yuan licked her lips, “The main reason is that my brother really doesn’t have any talent to show off.”
“Who said that, sister!? I can sing very well, okay?”
“You have to be confident about yourself.”
“Sister! You are killing my dream! Do you know how much I want to be an artist?! For this reason, I cherish my image every day. I dare not eat buns stuffed with chives for fear of stuffing them between my teeth. Going to bars, amusement parks…I have to wear hats and sunglasses for fear of affecting your future image…”
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Qin Yu adjusted his cuffs. It just so happened that he isn’t busy, “Secretary He, where is the company’s practice room?”
Half an hour later, Qin Yu came out of the practice room and pinched his eyebrows. He Nan, who was rubbing his ears, saw this and immediately asked him thoughtfully, “Mr. Xiao He, how about I go and register for you?” By the way, he also register for himself.
Qin Yu shook his head, “No need.”
That’s right, Mr. Xiao He must have a private doctor, He Nan thought, and suddenly he heard Qin Yu say again, “Go and make an appointment for me.”
He Nan perked up, “Is our company going to enter real estate?”
“No.” Qin Yu glanced at him and added the last sentence coldly, “I’m talking about the resting place!” commonly known as the cemetery.
Originally, seeing Wei Zhe speaking so sincerely, he wanted to see his strength and give him a chance. In the end, he wronged Wei Yuan. She was not trying to kill Wei Zhe’s dream. She was clearly trying to save all sentient beings and save them from dire straits.
After saying that, Qin Yu strode away. He Nan shouted behind him, “Mr. Xiao He, hold on, we have a party tonight!”
The party is a regular party. At the wine table, you come and go, pushing cups and changing cups, each of them seems to be speaking the truth sincerely, but in fact, they are all revolving around the word ‘profit’ inside and outside. Qin Yu is not bored, after all, it is the nature of businessmen to pursue profits. And being shameless is an omnipresent and pervasive means of pursuing profit.
Turning sideways to avoid the scantily clad person who was almost touching him, Qin Yu said he had something to do at home and left early. The people present did not dare to stop him, but stared angrily at Zhong Zhong, who had called people in on his own initiative, “Is this self-defeating?”
Qin Yu just walked out of the box and saw some people standing in front of him, all in suits and ties. It seemed that they had just come out of the box and had just finished socializing.
Coincidentally, there happened to be someone Qin Yu knows among them. He was standing in the middle of the crowd. He was tall, long-legged and had a handsome face. At first glance, he was the first person he noticed.
It’s like stars overlapping with the moon.
Qin Yu’s eyes flashed with light, his thin lips opened slightly, he took two steps forward and softly uttered three words, “Uncle Pei.”
