The autograph session lasted until the afternoon and ended. Before leaving, Director Zhang was pulled over by everyone and given a good beating.

Seeing the credit card loan amount soaring by an extra digit, Director Zhang could no longer cry. He gritted his teeth and wished he could kick away these guys with ever-increasing appetites one by one like they were little bastards.

However, before leaving, Director Zhang stopped Yu Yu, who had hurt his wallet the most, and handed her a business card, saying vaguely:

"Here, this is my good friend's business card. He's got a bad temper, and even Old Gu would be chastised by him. But his acting is pretty good. If you're interested in acting, you could give him a try... After all, if he only does 'Desert Island Survival', the opportunities are too limited for young people..."

Director Zhang's subsequent words sounded like mutterings, and Yu Yu could no longer hear what he said specifically. But holding the thin business card in his hand, Yu Yu felt his heart was too warm, and he could not say anything. He could only grin foolishly for a while.

Yu Yu was laughing so hard that he almost died down. Sister Hong couldn't help but look at Yu Yu twice more and couldn't help but say, "Xiao Yu, Director Zhang is good to you, but have you decided? Do you want to pursue acting? Or go back to being an idol artist? Right now, the situation is very good if you go the idol artist route, and you can make a big breakthrough."

Sister Hong has managed many artists, both in the entertainment industry and those who are idol artists. According to her experience, Yu Yu became famous thanks to the variety show "Survival on Deserted Island". Variety show performance is Yu Yu's advantage. He can use this to become more popular and get twice the result with half the effort. Then, if he takes on a few big-name advertisements, his popularity will be further increased.

What's more, now with such a strong backing as the Will Group, Sister Hong doesn't have to worry about the lack of resources at all. Maybe Yu Yu can even use this to make a name for herself in the fashion industry.

Obviously, Sister Hong has made a very detailed plan for this, and her analysis is very logical, and the success rate is very high. Even Yu Yu, who doesn't know much, can judge that if he takes this path, it seems that it won't take much time to see certain results.

But to be honest, Yu Yu was very conflicted, or rather, she didn't have much thought about this. She only knew that she didn't want to hurt the people she cared about again, nor did she want the people she cared about to have their expectations dashed.

That night, for the first time ever, Yu Yu couldn't fall asleep. Besides the business card given by Director Zhang, Sister Hong's words kept replaying in her mind. Moreover, outside, there seemed to be some rustling sounds in the corridor, which should be the old problem with the floor pipes in the old house.

The place where Yu Yu lives now is the old house where he and Sister Hong lived together when he just debuted. Later, Sister Hong moved out because she was busy with company matters and invited Yu Yu to move in with her. However, Yu Yu didn't want to leave and didn't want to disturb Sister Hong, so he stayed and has lived there for three years.

When she came back this time, Sister Hong also mentioned the matter of moving house, but Yu Yu still refused, wanting to wait until the rental contract expired before considering whether to move.

However, she had never encountered any problems in the old room in all these years, but she encountered it on the night when she couldn't sleep.

In the end, Yu Yu didn't know how he fell asleep, but he woke up quite early the next day. He stared at the business card that had been placed on the table yesterday for a long time. Finally, he silently decided on something. He sent a message to Sister Hong saying "I will go out today", then took a deep breath and tried to dial the number on the business card.

I thought I would have to call at least two or three times before someone answered, but I didn't expect that the phone would be connected as soon as I dialed. An extremely impatient, even extremely angry voice came through: "Who is this?"

This sound made Yu Yu shudder suddenly, and he said reflexively, "I am Yu Yu, Teacher Jia, and Teacher Zhang introduced me..."

"I don't care if you're a cat, a dog, or even a fish! I don't care who introduced you. I'm just telling you that the last audition will close at 10 a.m.! That's it! Hang up!"

Ten o'clock in the morning... Yu Yu glanced at the time. It was almost nine o'clock. Fortunately, Director Zhang had mentioned the location of the audition when he gave her his business card yesterday. He said that the audition was held directly at a film and television studio outside the city. It would take at least forty-five minutes for her to get there.

Time was running out, so Yu Yu hurriedly changed her clothes, grabbed a bag of film packaging, and rushed out the door. She took a taxi to the film and television city outside the city and even put on her lipstick in the car.

With ten minutes left until ten o'clock, Yu Yu finally caught up and arrived at the film and television city outside the city. But it must be said that Yu Yu had expected that there would be a lot of people for this audition, but he did not expect that there would be so many people. As soon as he entered, he could see a sea of ​​heads inside. Even walking was extremely difficult. It took a lot of effort for Yu Yu to squeeze to the registration office and reported his name.

"Yu Yu? That name sounds familiar, like I've heard it somewhere before? But why isn't your name on the list? Which role did you audition for? Or are you here on short notice?"

A series of questions left Yu Yu confused. After all, she was not favored by the company before. Any good resources for filming would be snatched away by others as soon as they came. Speaking of practical experience, Yu Yu had only appeared in third-rate crews a few times. She had never experienced such a big scene. She just nodded subconsciously.

"That won't work. Almost all the spots are gone now. Even the fire-making girl is fully booked. Now the only thing left is the last and most difficult role of a palace maid. But I have to be better looking than anyone else to get that role..."

The crew members holding the list originally wanted to say that you are not qualified for this role and you should just give up, because for this role, basically those who are not good-looking will be directly screened out and there will not even be a chance to show their acting skills. So basically, except for those artists who meet the requirements of appearance and who signed up at the beginning, no one dared to sign up later.

But when he looked up and saw Yu Yu's face, he hesitated. The reason was simple, because Yu Yu was really good-looking. At least it made him, a person who had been waiting here all morning, feel his eyes brightened. After hesitating for a while, the other party still added Yu Yu's name.

"Okay, I've added your name. The audition for that role is about to start, so hurry over. Hey, Xiaoying, come here and take her to the audition for Palace Maid Number Three."

"Audition for Palace Maid Number Three? Wait, no, Brother Chen, the audition has already started. And, most importantly, Director Jia attaches great importance to Palace Maid Number Three. I went over there just now, but now it's too late. Director Jia hates latecomers. Once you're late, it means you've lost your qualifications..."

"This..." Brother Chen's expression changed and he shook his head embarrassedly at Yu Yu. He could only let Yu Yu come for the audition next time.

Hearing this, Yu Yu's confused mind finally came to its senses. Before Brother Chen could finish his words, Yu Yu said directly, "Wait, it's not time yet. There are still five minutes until ten o'clock. I can still make it."

"But there's no point rushing over... Director Jia is already there..."

"That's fine, just take me there. I'll bear the consequences myself. I haven't exceeded the time limit, so I believe Director Jia won't kick me out for this reason."

Yu Yu didn't sound harsh when he said this, and even spoke in a very gentle tone. However, his words carried a subtle meaning that made it impossible to refuse, which at least frightened Xiaoying's assistant.

This made Brother Chen look at her differently. He had never expected that this girl, who looked delicate and a little soft, could have such courage. He couldn't help but admire her a little.

Moreover, what the girl said was not wrong. It was not yet ten o'clock and it was still within the registration period. Director Jia should not refuse directly. After thinking about it, Brother Chen simply handed the finishing work to Xiaoying and turned to Yu Yu and said:

"I'll take you there. It's not far, but if we want to get there before ten o'clock, we'll have to walk faster."

With half a second before ten o'clock, Brother Chen finally arrived with Yu Yu, who was slightly out of breath. Sure enough, when he saw the two people suddenly appear, the man with the most ferocious look and a scar at the corner of his eye in the entire audition room changed his face, revealing an extremely irritable expression, and seemed to be about to start cursing.

This man with a fierce look on his face is none other than the main director here, Director Jia.

Seeing this, Brother Chen couldn't help but shout in his heart, "It's over! Director Jia is about to start scolding me!" I guess I can't hear anything else at this moment!

At this moment, a figure suddenly stepped forward, bowed sharply before Director Jia could start his angry scolding, and said in a clear voice, "I'm sorry, Teacher Jia, I didn't arrive early. I only arrived before the audition registration closed. I'm really sorry for causing trouble to everyone!"

Just as he was about to yell, "Can't you tell the time? What are you doing here after the registration period?", Director Jia's throat suddenly choked, and he suddenly couldn't say anything, especially when he looked at the time and found that it was not yet ten o'clock.

I have to say that Director Jia's face looked very ugly at this time. Brother Chen behind him was so scared that his legs almost went limp. Looking at Yu Yu's slender back, he didn't know how many times he silently said "awesome" in his heart.

But just as Yu Yu expected, Director Jia was a man who attached great importance to principles. Since the time had not come yet, no matter how angry or unhappy he was, he would not kick people out directly. In the end, he could only swallow his anger and waved his hand, signaling the interrupted audition to start again.

The script that Director Jia took on this time is a large-scale costume drama with a big IP. The main plot is a puppet emperor who finally regained his own power from a group of cunning jackals and became a wise ruler, but also a historical drama about a tyrant.

The third palace maid is an important supporting role. She appears in less than one episode of the drama and plays the puppet emperor's first love in his youth.

At the very beginning, the young emperor mistook the third palace maid for a seductive witch sent by the regent, but he was still attracted to her. The young emperor fell in love for the first time and could not control himself for a while. It was the most heartwarming and heartwarming part of the whole drama. Until the palace maid was used by the jackal, involved in the conspiracy, and used as a bargaining chip by the jackal. She suffered pain and grievances, and finally chose to commit suicide by jumping into the river.

The death of his first love was a huge blow to the young emperor. From that moment on, the puppet emperor finally woke up and became conscious. He took every step carefully, fought against the jackals, and gradually took back everything that belonged to him.

Judging from this, although this role is a supporting one, it is still a very important one. Why was it cast at the end along with other ordinary palace maid roles? Although Yu Yu doesn't know much about the entertainment industry, he knows that roles like this should be chosen early on.

"I heard that the role of Maid Number Three was chosen long ago. Do you remember that newcomer Zhou Ying who went viral a while ago? She's the adopted daughter of the richest man in East City. I heard the role was originally hers, but then her adoptive father's affairs got in the way, so the role became vacant and they had to find someone else. I heard Director Jia has been so irritable lately because of this. He couldn't find the right person for the role, or they were already busy, so he had no choice but to choose this way..."

The people nearby lowered their voices and discussed with their companions, which just solved Yu Yu's doubts. However, Yu Yu did not have any other reaction to the name Zhou Ying, as if this person had nothing to do with her.

This audition is a group interview. Those who participate in the audition will be divided into groups of eight to audition together. The content of the audition is the scene where the young emperor and the third palace maid first meet. Later, they will be directly arranged in the young emperor's study to interact with the young emperor who is reading in the room. Whoever is most in sync with the young emperor, has the most chemistry and the most feelings with him will get the role.

In order to select this role as quickly as possible, Director Jia even brought the male lead who played the young emperor directly to the audition site, changed into formal costumes and scenes, and auditioned directly.

Yu Yu only had fifteen minutes to prepare and the audition content was very simple. Director Jia only gave them a one-sentence scene: a group of new palace maids were arranged to serve the young emperor, but only palace maid No. 3 caught the young emperor's attention.

And then, nothing happened.

Just this short sentence made Yu Yu feel so confused that he had no idea what was going on.

Attraction, is this what attraction is? She herself would not help but take a second look at anyone who looked good-looking, but the young emperor was surrounded by beautiful palace maids. Why did he fall for Palace Maid No. 3 and be attracted to her?

Speaking of which, Yu Yu had indeed experienced times when it was difficult to look away. Just recently, when the tips of Justin's ears turned red, she felt that he was particularly handsome, as if he had a different kind of charm. This charm seemed to be different from that of other good-looking people. She couldn't help but want to look at him a few more times and talk to him more...

Wait, in that case, at the autograph session yesterday, it was because Teacher Gu and the others had different charms that attracted fans. But even if it was the same person, the fans seemed to like different things. Just like the fans of Yu, sometimes they said she was well-behaved and attractive, and sometimes they said she was charming and seductive.

Does this mean that for the young emperor, there is something special about this palace maid number three, which is why he was attracted to her inadvertently?

Oh, and the background of this character, Maid Number Three. A person's birth environment and upbringing determine their personality and nature. What kind of person is Maid Number Three? Where was she born, and in what environment did she live? What kind of personality would she have? How would she speak? What kind of person would she be?

In other words, she urgently needed the script. She needed to know what kind of person this Palace Maid No. 3 was. As for the script... Yu Yu's eyes swept around the venue, and in less than two seconds, she saw where the script was. It was in the hands of none other than the ferocious Director Jia, who seemed to be dissatisfied with the arrangement of the prop master. He was holding a rolled-up script in his hand, slamming the table and getting angry.

To be honest, the scene was indeed a bit scary. Not to mention the staff and assistants nearby, even the male lead, who had some face in front of Director Jia, didn't dare to breathe, for fear of being implicated.

If possible, Yu Yu did not want to step forward and touch this bad luck, not only because it was impolite to interrupt other people's conversation, but also because she had just left a very "deep" impression on Director Jia. If she stepped forward like this, she might really be eliminated in less than two minutes.

But without reading the script and knowing the background, how can I act this out? Thinking of this, Yu Yu felt even more overwhelmed. However, time didn't allow her to think any more. She only had eight minutes left. Taking a deep breath, Yu Yu finally walked up to Director Jia with a thick face and interrupted him directly:

"Excuse me, Mr. Jia, I might have to bother you for a moment. Could you lend me the script? I'm very quick, I'll just read it for a few minutes."

"Script? Oh, okay." Almost as a conditioned reflex, Director Jia subconsciously handed over the script in his hand. It took him a while to come to his senses and realize that something seemed wrong. Why did he suddenly hand over the script?

But before Director Jia could ask anything, the audition had already begun, and Yu Yu returned the script to Director Jia as agreed.

The time was short, but Yu Yu only glanced at the script's background introduction of the third palace maid. He didn't know whether it would work, but he finally had an initial impression of the third palace maid in his mind, so he didn't have a blank mind and didn't know what to do.

Because Yu Yu was the last one to be added, he was naturally the third one to be auditioned, and the first group of auditions started soon at this time.

There was a click of the card board, and the young emperor on the field was indeed a professional and quickly got into the play.

The incense burning in the Hall of Mental Cultivation emitted faint wisps of smoke. The place was quiet, yet a bit suffocating. Only the occasional rustling of pages could be heard. Just then, a burst of light footsteps could be heard outside, and the old eunuch guarding the gate shouted in a pinched voice, "Your Majesty, Aunt Lin, the closest friend of the Regent, has arrived. She said that the Regent had Aunt Lin select a group of excellent palace maids for you. See if there are any you like who would like to keep by your side and serve you."

The Regent's men? Upon hearing this, the young emperor's brows furrowed in annoyance, but he quickly regained his previous calm and dull expression. Without even raising his head, he casually said "hmm".

There was another sound of light and quiet footsteps, and Aunt Lin had entered the hall, leading behind her seven or eight palace maids with different looks and temperaments. After briefly introducing the future of these palace maids one by one, Aunt Lin made an excuse to leave. From that moment on, the test officially began.

There are no specific lines or actions, only one scene. Everything that follows is entirely up to the auditioned artists to perform freely. As long as their acting skills match the scene, it's fine. As long as they can attract the young emperor and make him keep them by his side to serve them, they are the winners.

However, the audition had only been going on for a while when Director Jia's uncontrollable roar came directly from the sidelines.

"What are you acting? You're auditioning for the role of a palace maid! A palace maid! Not those brothel beauties, or dancers with swaggering hips. After entering the palace, palace maids are assigned to various palaces and must undergo rigorous etiquette training. The palace maids who serve in the emperor's presence are especially carefully selected! What on earth are you acting?!"

This roar made the faces of the artists on the stage change. Some of them couldn't bear it and left the stage crying. There were also many who were strong enough to continue acting, but it was obvious that their mentality had collapsed. They made mistakes frequently and finally left the stage with ugly faces.

During the whole process, only the young emperor in the middle was not affected at all. He ignored the whole process. It seemed that some auditioning artists tried to pounce on him, but he did not even raise his head, or just said "hmm" and passed it off with an expressionless face.

The first batch of auditions ended disastrously, which directly caused the nerves of the second batch of auditioning artists to be completely tense. Sure enough, the results became even worse. Even Yu Yu, a semi-layman, could see that the second batch of auditions were worse than the first batch. It seemed that they were too nervous, and their hands and feet were stiff.

As expected, the second round of auditions had only been underway for a few minutes when Director Jia, already in a state of rage, called a halt, clearly extremely dissatisfied. "Stop, stop, stop! Are you acting? I only saw a bunch of stiff, wooden figures! I asked you to play palace maids, palace maids, not wooden figures! Can you show me something good? Forget it, please go back. You're eliminated! Okay, next round!"

The next group was the last to audition, and it was finally his turn. Yu Yu felt that his palms were full of sweat from nervousness.
