Luo Yu came to the door of the audition conference room. The staff at the door looked at Luo Yu’s information, opened the door and motioned for him to sit inside.

Because there were still several roles to be finalized through final auditions, more than 20 seats were arranged.

There were a few actors whom Luo Yu could name who were still reviewing their scripts, and then there was He Mu, who had a strong lineup. His team occupied about five or six seats.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

There was no communication between the actors, and the tense atmosphere reminded Luo Yu of the long ago art exam. Luo Yu found a corner and sat down without taking off the mask on his face. Probably because he had long hair now, He Mu and his team across from him didn’t recognize him.

At this time, Director Lin walked in holding the same thermos cup that was still the same ten years later, followed by Hua Xingyun. At this time, Screenwriter Hua’s eye circles were not as dark as they would be ten years later. Most importantly, the hair on his head was still there and even considered thick, how gratifying indeed.

In addition to the two of them, there was also Ren Ting, the producer of the show. She smiled slightly in the direction of He Mu to show encouragement.

Gao He from Dijun Media had already made greetings to her and asked her to try her best to convince Director Lin. Ren Ting also knows that Lin Yue was a very principled person, but Bai Ying was just a small role, and anyone could play it, so Ren Ting felt that this favor should be very easy.

After the three of them sat down, the staff on site began to announce the rules of the audition.

The first role to be auditioned was Bai Ying. The audition order was based on the first letter of the actor’s last name, so He Mu auditioned before Luo Yu.

This scene was Bai Ying meeting his rival Brother Long at a KTV. Just the night before, Brother Long sent someone to top off the police, causing Bai Ying to suffer heavy losses. This was Brother Long’s warning to Bai Ying, with the purpose of taking some of Bai Ying’s business.

Bai Ying, this person, would not allow anyone to suck his blood. Since it was to discuss business, Bai Ying must make Brother Long “observe the rules.”

Producer Ren Ting looked at the staff member on the side: “This scene is more about confrontation. There are no sparks when gesticulating to the air. So why don’t you go and play Brother Long.”

The staff member looked at Lin Yue, who knew in his heart that Ren Ting was trying to help Dijun Media.

He Mu had only been in the film school for a little over a year, and his foundation was not solid. This audition would be recorded. If there was a dispute over the casting in the future, it would be replayed on video.

Ren Ting arranged for He Mu to have a dialogue partner, so that he could have a central point in his performance and the recorded performance could withstand review.

Lin Yue didn’t care about this and nodded towards the staff member: “Just to be fair, help all the actors who are auditioning to match their lines.”

He Mu’s performance officially began.

He walked towards the staff member with a half-smile, hooked the chair in front of him with a foot, and sat down.

“Brother Long, you look good.”

The staff member lowered his head to look at the script, raised his left hand, holding the “teacup” weakly, and recited like a primary school student: “No, no, I just slept better last night.”

The next second, He Mu’s smile faded. He held a prop folding knife in his hand and stabbed the back of “Brother Long”‘s hand. His voice squeezed out from between his teeth: “Ah, but I didn’t sleep well.”

His eyes were cold and the staff member was even a little startled by him.

The other actors watched this scene quietly, all showed expressions of surprise.

Because in their hearts, He Mu, although he was a popular star and perpetual hot search resident, was somewhat of a flower vase. He could sing, dance, and act in idol dramas, but he could not play such a role that had a lot of depth.

But they didn’t expect that… it was actually quite intimidating?

He Mu’s performance was over, and he turned back and bowed to the three judges.

Ren Ting smiled. She felt that He Mu was already a shoot-in. This boy still had some acting skills. Director Lin being unwilling to give him a supporting role before must’ve been out of prejudice against him.

He Mu’s heart was pounding. He practiced these two lines with the line teacher so many times that his voice became hoarse. For this reason, he even quarreled with his script teacher, feeling that the other person was only trying to show his dedication to tutoring and was making things difficult for no reason.

The line teacher directly said that his skills were poor. Fortunately, the audition only consisted of two lines. Only by imitating the tone, intonation and pronunciation of the teacher could he pass the test. The next few lines in the script were of greater depth than these two lines, and these were the two lines that were the easiest to muddle through.

The opportunity was fleeting, and he didn’t know if he had seized it.

He Mu raised his eyes and felt relieved when he saw Ren Ting’s smile of praise.

But Lin Yue and Hua Xingyun were very silent, and there was no eye contact or discussion between them.

Hua Xingyun said in a formulaic manner: “Okay, the results will be out tonight. The next one is Zhuque Media, Luo Yu.”

In the corner of the conference room, a slender figure stood up, took off the mask on his face, and folded it into his pocket.

“Hello, everyone, I am Luo Yu.”

A clear voice sounded, making the entire conference room sit up.

Ren Ting looked at the young man in front of her and was stunned. She knew that Luo Yu and He Mu looked similar, but when Luo Yu took off his mask, Ren Ting’s gaze condensed.

Luo Yu was clearly bare-faced without any make-up, and the outline of his facial features had a natural beauty like the clear rain falling in the south of the Yangtze River. Every inch of his eyes seemed to be reflected with the light of warm fireflies, but under such warmth, one could still pick up on a sharpness and strength belonging only to male appeal.

“Then I’ll start now.” Luo Yu said.

“En.”

“Go ahead.”

Lin Yue and Hua Xingyun had no unnecessary expressions.

Luo Yu walked towards the chair that He Mu hooked with his foot and sat down casually, which was in sharp contrast to He Mu’s full-on aggressive aura.

“Brother Long.”

With a slight smile on his face, he politely called the other person’s name, his words were clear and there was no anger about to break out, but there was a sense of solemnity, which made people look forward to what he was going to say next.

And that pair of eyes seemed to be washed in a thin layer of wine, cool and unpredictable.

The staff member subconsciously read the script and found that he couldn’t bear Luo Yu’s gaze. He felt as if he would suffocate if he looked at him for two more seconds.

“You look good.” Luo Yu said.

This sentence sounded a little respectful at first, but it was three points heavier than the words “Brother Long” just now. The oppressive feeling of impending storm surged into everyone’s heart.

It was clear that Luo Yu’s lines were spoken more lightly than He Mu’s, but the staff member who was matching the dialogue was greatly affected by the aura he exuded. After several seconds, he picked up the script and read stutteringly: ” No…no, I just slept…slept better last night.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Yu suddenly took the staff member’s script and pressed it against his left hand. Before everyone in the room could see clearly how he did it, the back of the staff member’s hand was pressed against his lap by the rolled-up script. Immediately afterwards, Luo Yu held the script and raised it high, the smile on his lips still not diminishing, his shadow suddenly shrouded the other, and the sinister look in his eyes made the staff member fall off the chair.

Even though he fell to the ground, the other man was still looking at Luo Yu in horror.

Luo Yu knelt on one knee in front of him, pressing the back of the other person’s hand to the ground with one end of the script, “Ah, but I didn’t sleep well.”

He still enunciated his words clearly, but his speaking speed was neither fast nor slow, just like a clear boundary.

If you are obedient, we will treat each other with respect.

If you cross the line, I will make you and your people perish together.

The emotions of the onlookers at the scene were lifted high.

At this time, a strand of hair slipped out from Luo Yu’s ear, bringing a hint of softness to the rigidity of his side face, and everyone’s tense heartstrings seemed to be allowed to relax with the sight of this strand of hair.

He Mu was stunned. This was the image of Bai Ying in his mind when he first read the script, but it was seven times more profound than that image of Bai Ying.

Luo Yu’s performance was not only captivating, but also more powerful than the script.

Was this still Luo Yu?

Was that the Luo Yu who was suppressed by the water army and Dijun Media until he lost his spirit and had his spine bent?

Was that the Luo Yu who lowered his head every time he came across him for fear of meeting his eyes?

He Mu looked in the direction of the judges, and as expected, Ren Ting, who was facing him, had not yet recovered from Luo Yu’s performance and was looking at the other in a daze.

Director Lin and Screenwriter Hua still made no comments or expressions of emotion.

Luo Yu helped the staff member up from the ground and said softly: “I’m sorry, I scared you.”

“No… it’s fine.” The staff member quickly stood up and subconsciously touched the back of his hand. He thought his hand would really be nailed to the ground.

Luo Yu looked at the judges and bowed, “My performance is over. Thank you to all the judges and staff.”

Director Lin said calmly: “Okay, you can go back and wait for the news.”

“Okay.” Luo Yu turned around and walked out.

In order to ensure that he was in good condition for the audition, he didn’t even eat breakfast. Now that the audition was over, he could go out and get something to eat.

When He Mu saw Luo Yu leaving, he gritted his teeth, got up and left the conference room.

He looked at Luo Yu’s back in front of him, feeling an indescribable uneasiness in his heart, as if the thing he was holding in his hands and worrying about gains and losses was about to fall down like quicksand.

He walked quickly past Luo Yu and arrived at the elevator entrance first, like the emperor out on a walk, followed by his posse.

The elevator door opened and they walked in. When Luo Yu came to the door, He Mu’s assistant said, “Please take the next one.”

At this moment, He Mu’s expression suddenly changed, because he saw Gu Xiaowei walking over and standing next to Luo Yu!

“Senior… Brother Gu, do you want to go up or down?” He Mu said quickly.

Gu Xiaowei said calmly: “No, I’ll take the next one.”

Recalling what the assistant said just now to stop Luo Yu from entering the elevator, He Mu wondered if Gu Xiaowei had heard it, and felt that he was very domineering.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

He was about to explain, but the elevator door was already closed, and he could only glare at the assistant.

Luo Yu looked at Gu Xiaowei next to him, his expression was as usual.

The key was that now he and Gu Xiaowei were waiting side by side for the elevator. And the quieter it was, the more awkward it became.
