Chapter 114

Xie Xichao and Miao Haicheng went out together.

In fact, someone recognized Jie Xichao when she entered the door. Now that she was leaving, the waitress came to her shyly to ask for her autograph. Jie Xichao used the pen used at the counter to sign the album cover for her.

When they arrived at the door, Miao Haicheng accompanied Jie Xichao to wait for the company's car.

Standing on the side of the road, he asked, "When is the audition?"

Xie Xichao recalled the time and said, "The day after tomorrow afternoon."

Miao Haicheng said: "Very good."

He hasn't come to his senses yet. Because of Jie Xichao’s last words.

The young boy has a gentle and refined appearance, and appears mild and good-tempered even when talking to fans he meets by chance. No one could have guessed that he was such a direct and decisive person at heart.

It can even be called strong.

If he were not the person involved, he would feel more relieved now.

As if he could see what he was thinking, Xie Xichao said again: "Brother, what I just said was not directed at you."

Miao Haicheng sighed.

"Okay, I know," he said.

He patted Jie Xichao on the shoulder and said, "Good luck in the audition."

He didn't ask Jie Xichao why someone of his status needed to audition, nor did he ask which crew he was going to join. Jie Xichao appreciated his thoughtfulness of not snooping. After watching him go upstairs, I got into the car.

In the next two days, Miao Haicheng did not contact Jie Xichao.

This was within Xie Xichao's expectations.

The reason why Sheng Hong was able to negotiate with him was simply because he relied on his strong capital. But to be honest, these are just things to fool children. Those who are simply passionate and have dreams will be afraid of being suppressed by capital, while those who pursue fame and fortune will be tempted by platform resources.

It sounds good, but it doesn't hold water at all.

Jie Xichao had long passed his innocent period.

He knew very well that as long as he was still popular and had the protection of the original contract. Between him and Sheng Hong, he will always be the one who takes the initiative. So just ignore what the other person says.

There is no need to analyze your true feelings with others, even if they really exist.

Now that he refused so bluntly, Sheng Hong must be extremely anxious. The news of his audition would surely shock the other party, and they would hold meetings, discuss, and ask for all kinds of gossip.

It will take at least two or three days.

But according to Xie Xichao's inference, even if more meetings are held, maintaining the status quo is the best option for Shenghong.

So, he has been preparing for the audition these two days.

-

Something went wrong with the audition.

It’s not that there is a problem with Jie Xichao, but that his character has been targeted by others.

It is common for several actors to compete for the same role. But it would be troublesome if the competitor is a marketing expert. For example, this unknown competitor of Xie Xichao.

Anyway, the casting of "Legend of Immortals" suddenly became a hot topic in the past two days, and marketing accounts all released the same press release.

"Who will be the second male lead in "Xun Xian Ji"?! The crew of "Xun Xian Ji" has recently started casting, and the audition list is as follows:... Come and see who is the cool and beautiful Senior Brother Jing Yin in your mind~"

The eighteen grids below. The marketing guys show the refined photos, and the last few photos show other actors.

Xie Xichao was among them.

Of course they let him go because they got inside information and wanted to get some traffic. Sure enough, they let him go and he successfully became a hot topic.

Then, the comments below are like this.

"Yes, yes, I have read it. If I can't see it when it's broadcast, I will be worried about you guys."

"Don't walk anymore, I'm worried... When I was reading the book, I imagined Brother Xi Chao during the second public performance..."

"Xie Xichao is the traffic password of your marketing account, right? I give up. You come out with a drama and walk around every time. If what you say is true, I would have won the Best Actor Award :) Get down from here"

——That’s right, everyone is so calm only because Xie Xichao has been fooled too many times in the past two years.

At the beginning, TP’s fan circle would discuss it as a big deal, but now no one cares.

This is a good thing for Xie Xichao.

Fang Qingqing said, "That's good too. When the dust has settled, we can let the crew make an official announcement. This way, we don't have to worry about it every day."

She paused: "It's that Li Wenbo..."

Li Wenbo.

It’s the new rising star who is buying the press release at this moment.

He is considered a serious actor, and he has played in popular dramas and costume dramas before. Although he was a supporting role, he received a lot of praise and was even touted as Bai Yueguang for a while. Of course, I don’t know how many of the positive reviews are filled with so-called trolls.

Fang Qingqing was originally very optimistic. She felt that this role was suitable for Jie Xichao, and since he was not the protagonist, she should be a sure thing.

At this moment, Li Wenbo suddenly appeared, making her a little anxious.

She asked tentatively: "How about..."

She wanted to say, why don't we use our money strength, since Boss Qi has plenty of money anyway.

——Over the years, Xie Xichao’s initial resources were all acquired by spending money. Of course, in the end the resources came to him, and he earned all the money back.

The team that Qi Yin organized two years ago finally retired. Now he spends every day in the office tending flowers, watching his assistant pick resources, and checking his own Ziweixing’s personal Weibo. If he feels like it, he will make a few comments.

Xie Xichao said, "It's okay, sister, don't worry."

When he said this, it really showed that he was not influenced by Li Wenbo at all.

On the day of the audition, Jie Xichao put on a white T-shirt and casual pants, dressed up a little and went there without even putting on any makeup.

*

The audition was arranged at the crew's hotel.

The role of Jingyin does not have many scenes, so the casting was done relatively late. When Jie Xichao arrived, there were already several people standing in the corridor. Many of them are facing other roles.

He arrived at the right time, and someone happened to be coming down when he was going upstairs.

Still an acquaintance.

It is the male lead of "Xun Xian Ji" who has been confirmed:

Dou Fei.

Dou Fei is a professional actor and has acted in several dramas, always playing the male lead. If Jie Xichao is the rare Ziwei star in the idol world, then Dou Fei is undoubtedly the film and television version of "Jie Xichao".

He studied at the most famous film academy in the country. He has a family background in film and his parents are both well-known actors. He is currently studying under the director of "A Journey to the Immortal Realm", Lu Yong, who is also a well-known domestic director. It is rumored that his next goal will be the film industry.

Xie Xichao has met Dou Fei several times.

The other person looks very youthful, refreshing and handsome, a very good-looking young man.

He has a nice personality and is gentle and polite.

The two occasionally kept in touch after exchanging WeChat accounts at the dinner. Dou Fei even asked for TP's group autograph on his behalf, saying that he had a younger sister who was a fan of the group, so Jie Xichao naturally gave it to him.

When the two met each other at this moment, they were both stunned.

It was Xie Xichao who reacted first and said with a smile: "Long time no see."

The other party came to his senses and stopped walking: "That's not long, we just met two days ago."

He paused and said, "If your name wasn't so uncommon, I would have thought you had the same name when I saw you on the list a few days ago. So, you've had enough of being an idol, now you want to compete with us for our jobs?"

He said the last sentence half jokingly.

Xie Xichao hummed, and said half-seriously, "Then will you let me snatch it?"

Dou Fei was happy.

He said, "Give it to me, of course. I'll be waiting for my senior brother to teach me about love in a little while."

What he said meant that he would personally act with Jie Xichao in a while. Xie Xichao had an idea in his mind.

The two chatted for a few more words, and before Dou Fei left, he said, "Don't be nervous. Although Director Ye looks a bit fierce, he is actually a very nice person. He won't use any stereotypes to make things worse, so just act with confidence."

This is the benefit of having connections.

Dou Fei was hinting to him that Ye Yong was a fair and selfless person. Even though we know that he is an idol, we may still be a little biased, and everything still depends on his ability. But he didn't know how good Jie Xichao's acting skills were, so he could only be as tactful as possible.

Of course, Jie Xichao understood.

He thanked him with a smile, and after watching Dou Fei leave, he continued to go upstairs until he reached the floor where the audition was held.

-

There are a lot of people in the corridor.

There is more than one role to interview today, and the crew probably wants to save time.

When Jie Xichao appeared at the stairs, no one paid attention to him at first, thinking he was a newcomer. It was not until he sat down on a makeshift bench nearby that people began to look at him.

Xie Xichao heard people whispering not far away.

"Who is this? He looks familiar."

"You don't even know this... TP's ACE, he's very popular, don't you ever check trending searches?"

"Oh my god, he's really here? Didn't everyone say he was just showing off? Wait, someone of his stature still needs an audition. Is Sheng Hong so lame now?"

Jie Xichao pretended not to hear.

He looked at his watch and saw that there was still half an hour left until the agreed time.

...Well, he thought.

It's a bit difficult.

He hadn't had an experience like this in a long time.

That's waiting.

TP's schedule is very busy, and he often has to prepare for the next announcement while working on one. But now, he couldn't write a song at the interview.

Not to mention what others would think, he couldn’t write at all now that he was being stared at.

After thinking about it, he simply took out his cell phone and started reading the script.

Before he started to watch, someone carefully sat down next to him: "Hello?"

Xie Xichao raised his head: "Hello."

The other party suddenly exclaimed.

Xie Xichao: “…”

"It's really you, Xi Chao. I thought, ah ah, I mean!" The boy blushed and stammered incoherently, "I am, that is, I am your fan. I have liked you for a long time. I especially like your song "The Endless Sea". Really, it is my song of the year this year!"

As he said this, he was about to turn over his phone to show Jie Xichao.

Xie Xichao:.

Song of the year, that is indeed true love.

Although he didn't expect to meet fans here, he still said seriously: "Thank you for your love."

The other person covered his face.

His hands and voice were shaking a little, he was indeed excited to see his idol.

Xie Xichao looked at him, a little at a loss. He looked young, so he sighed in his heart and took the initiative to help him out: "Are you here for an audition too?"

The other party immediately sat up straight: "Yeah!"

"It's just a small role." He said a little embarrassedly, "In fact, I have always been a minor actor. It just so happened that the crew was recruiting this time, so I came to try. Oh, right!"

He turned around and rummaged through the bag on his back, muttering, "Luckily I had the sudden idea to bring it today..."

The next moment, Jie Xichao watched him take out a copy of TP's latest album.

Xie Xichao: “…”

No, what happened.

Have fans now developed the habit of carrying albums with them?

The little boy looked at him eagerly: "Can you write a to signature for me? It's okay if it's inconvenient."

This is certainly not inconvenient.

Xie Xichao took the pen and album he handed over and was about to sign on them.

Just as he was about to ask someone what he wanted to write, he suddenly heard a sneer.

"Anyone can act now. I think the atmosphere in the entertainment industry is being corrupted by people like this."

The voice was neither loud nor low, just within the range he could hear.

He raised his eyebrows, looked up, and saw several young boys gathered together not far away.
