Chapter 3 First Audition
Su Yu, however, seemed quite relaxed, while the others sitting outside were all clenching their hands, looking very nervous.
It wasn't that Su Yu wanted to discourage them, it's just that their image was really unsuitable for the role; after all, the "foundation general" wasn't the mainstream at the moment.
Not long after, a junior assistant pushed open the door and called out.
"Next up, Su Yu!"
Su Yu swallowed the mint gummy and pushed open the door to enter.
The audition room was spacious, with Yu Zheng, wearing a floral shirt and rubbing his temples in frustration, sitting in the center of a long table.
The actors who came to audition today were all recommended by various companies, but after auditioning for a while, I realized what kind of people these recommended actors were!
Although he was just a supporting character, he had quite a few scenes. If the next one was like that, he really wanted to slam his fist on the table and leave.
On the other hand, to his right sat an extremely eye-catching woman. The moment Su Yu saw her, he understood why everyone who left looked embarrassed.
Wearing a fitted Chanel-style jacket, with snow-white skin, fiery red lips, and strikingly beautiful features, she exudes a powerful and impactful presence.
Even when he's just idly resting his chin on his hand and twirling a Montblanc pen, the aura of a top-tier socialite exudes wealth and privilege.
Of course, she's still a pure and innocent young girl right now.
Jing Tian is the undisputed leading lady in "Ban Shu Legend".
[The celebrity Jing Tian, who meets the criteria, has been detected in the current scene. Hextech spoofing is in progress...]
[1. Eloquent Tongue (White): Your delivery of lines has improved significantly; your pronunciation is clear, making it very easy to win the director's favor.]
2. Magnetic Voice (White): Your voice will become more magnetic and expressive.
[3. Acting as Reality (Purple): When you are acting, the opposite sex you are acting opposite will be forcibly pulled into your emotional realm. Your physical touch will produce a strong emotional resonance, making it very easy for others to blur the lines between reality and fiction.]
Ee! Good!
Su Yu silently recited in his mind: "Entry Three!"
The system panel is hidden.
"Su Yu, right? Yang Mi recommended him." Yu Zheng flipped through the thin resume in his hand, his brows furrowing even more.
"Just graduated from Beijing Film Academy? Only played minor roles before? What's going on, Yang Mi? This is a serious big-budget production."
Jing Tian also stopped twirling her pen, her big eyes curiously looking Su Yu up and down.
After looking at more than a dozen "pretty boys" who lacked any masculinity, the man in front of her, full of hormones, was a refreshing sight.
"Director Yu, heroes come from all walks of life. There must be a reason why Sister Mi recommended me."
Su Yu pulled out a chair with neither arrogance nor servility. After introducing himself, he got straight to the point, "I know the character Huo Heng. He's sunny, straightforward, and loyal. His image is quite similar to mine. I've also spent some time researching him. As for how to try him out, you can give me some pointers."
This confident attitude surprised Yu Zheng for a moment, but he was right. With an excellent image, if her acting skills were up to par, then Yang Mi would have solved another problem for herself.
"Alright, it's good that young people are confident. Let's try this scene: Huo Heng forces his way into the inner academy, facing the female tutor Ban Shu and a group of strict old teachers, and forcibly takes away his sweetheart. You have one minute to prepare."
This scene is the core highlight of Huo Heng's early performance.
It needs to have both the domineering spirit of a military general who disregards etiquette and the tenderness of a lover. The young actors who auditioned earlier all played characters who were expressionless and mentally challenged.
If this shot is satisfactory, then the choice is probably settled!
"No need to prepare, let's begin."
As soon as Su Yu finished speaking, his expression changed instantly.
It was a chilling aura, as if he had emerged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, mixed with extremely suppressed emotions. He did not look at the empty performance in front of him, but instead strode forward with his long legs, his leather boots making a dull sound on the hotel carpet, one step, two steps, heading straight for the judges' seats.
Startled by his sudden aura, Yu Zheng leaned back. Just as he was about to call for a halt, he realized that Su Yu's target wasn't him at all.
Su Yu walked around the table and stood in front of Jing Tian.
"you……"
Jing Tian felt a shiver run through her as he stared at her. Just as she was about to speak, her wrist was suddenly gripped by a warm and strong hand.
[Blue-quality stat: Iron-blooded tough guy, triggered!]
[Purple Quality Affix: Fake Feelings Turn into Reality, Triggered!]
[Purple-quality stat: Humanoid Succubus, triggered!]
boom!
Jing Tian felt an irresistible electric current travel through her entire body from Su Yu's palm. Her previously detached and aloof mind was suddenly dragged into a specific time and space.
The modern hotel setting around her vanished instantly, and she seemed to truly become the female tutor trapped in the deep palace academy, caught in a dilemma.
Su Yu leaned down slightly, his handsome and imposing face magnified infinitely in front of Jing Tian, their noses almost only centimeters apart.
He could clearly smell the faint perfume on Jing Tian's body, and he could also see the panic and trembling that instantly appeared in her big eyes.
"The rules of this deep palace can't protect you, but my blade, Huo Heng's, can!"
Su Yu's voice was deliberately low, with a rough, hoarse quality and an undeniable domineering air.
Then, he grasped her wrist and slowly pulled her hand to his chest, pressing it tightly against his steady, powerful heart.
"Come with me, and I'll carry the sky for you even if it falls."
Quiet.
The entire audition room was deathly quiet.
Jing Tian sat blankly in the chair, her palm pressed against Su Yu's burning chest, feeling the strong heartbeat.
Her breathing became rapid, and two blushes rose uncontrollably on her fair cheeks.
Having been extremely protected since childhood, she had never experienced such overwhelming masculine pressure and extreme sense of security in reality.
"Slap! Slap! Slap!"
After a brief silence, Yu Zheng suddenly stood up, clapping excitedly. His chubby face was filled with fervor as he said to the casting director beside him:
"Yes! That's it! This is Huo Heng! This is the kind of sex appeal that makes people scream! What were those people who were just wearing eyeliner?!"
Su Yu instantly regained his composure, released Jing Tian's wrist, took a half step back, and resumed his bright, sunny smile: "Hehe, sorry for the intrusion."
Jing Tian suddenly came to her senses and withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted.
She lowered her head, pretending to straighten her clothes to cover up her earlier lapse in composure, but her wildly beating heart just wouldn't calm down.
"Alright, alright, go back and wait for news. You'll be notified tonight!"
Yu Zheng smiled broadly, unable to hide her joy, and patted Su Yu on the shoulder.
After Su Yu gave a brief thank you, he left. Watching Su Yu's retreating figure, Yu Zheng leisurely took out his phone and sent a message to Da Mimi:
"Honey, you've been a huge help to me this time!"
Su Yu was unaware of these words, but after walking out the door, he encountered another person.
