The scene was very embarrassing for a while.

Wen Xingze was being watched by the entire audience, and he himself was completely bewildered. But he could only bite the bullet and move forward, the crowd parting their path like Moses parting the sea.

He walked to the audition waiting area and lined up at the end of the line.

Besides him, there were a dozen or so little boys here, wearing overalls or cartoon suits, secretly looking at this "rival" older brother with curiosity.

The number of people matched, there were no two Wen Xingzes, which meant that this 'Little Wen Xingze No. 235' was indeed not a duplicate of the same name.

Parents are not allowed to enter the audition waiting area. In order to calm the children and to show encouragement, staff members came over and gave lollipops to the young actors.

She also smiled and sent one to Wen Xingze: "Little Wen Xingze, here you go."

The children all smiled friendly.

This made Wen Xingze feel extremely embarrassed. How could such an embarrassing thing happen!

Fortunately, just as the teasing was about to escalate, the parents who had been called away by the groundskeepers for instructions returned one after another. Wen Xingze looked carefully and found no parents from the Muse Empire.

This was strange. He'd thought it was the elves or some parent who'd signed him up. Wen Xingze even guessed the cause: it was probably the promotional slogan about 'whose baby is the cutest,' and the parents were instantly dissatisfied, and in a fit of rage...

At the same time, the children's attention was quickly drawn away by their parents, and they stopped winking and circling around Wen Xingze.

Wen Xingze breathed a sigh of relief.

"Daddy!" "Mommy!" "Baby!"

The children jumped up happily to greet their parents outside, and the parents excitedly crowded outside the dividing line and waved back.

The whole atmosphere is like a kindergarten just after school... or a zoo.

As for Wen Xingze...

Wen Xingze is eating a lollipop.

In this situation, even the most sweet-toothed children were in no mood to eat their lollipops. Several children simply thrust their candies at Wen Xingze. Unwilling to waste food, Wen Xingze sat there and ate with gusto.

Orange, blueberry and milk flavors.

After eating, he bit the three hollow sticks of the lollipop and whistled a song "Happy Reunion" leisurely.

Parents who were looking at their children through the railings: "..."

The reporter who was recording the video nearby: "..."

Damn.

It has that flavor.

Wen Xingze was waiting in the waiting area for the initial screening, which was not an audition. It was a basic screening of the child's appearance, body shape, etc. If the appearance was too different from the role, he would not be able to pass the initial screening.

This is also the reason why Wen Xingze was too lazy to find the staff to explain - not to mention why his name appeared on the audition list, anyway, he would definitely not pass the initial screening, and coming directly to the audition was the quickest solution.

Just as Wen Xingze finished his seventh lollipop, the enthusiastic reunion between parents and children finally came to an end. With seven hollow rods, Wen Xingze's musical repertoire became richer, and he could even play chords and perform key changes.

The cheerful and classic lollipop version of "Happy Reunion" floats in the night sky.

...The reporter was speechless, but couldn't stop taking pictures.

The people watching the fun nearby were laughing to death. If their phones had not been taken away in advance, they would really want to use their phones to record a short video. This is too funny!

It was at this moment that the crowd suddenly became quiet.

A group of people came from a distance.

The most familiar person was a middle-aged man with a mustache, followed by three or four people who looked like staff members, all wearing formal business attire.

"Is that guy with the beard the producer? Right?" "Aren't they still auditioning over there? What are you doing here?" "What the hell?!"

As they got closer, they could see clearly that the man with the mustache was following a young man with a certain trepidation. The young man had long light blond hair, emerald eyes, and two pointed ears.

“…”

Wen Xingze's lollipop almost got stuck in his throat and he started coughing rapidly.

The onlookers stopped talking.

The green-eyed elf priest walked over naturally, patted Wen Xingze on the back, took the lollipop out of his mouth, and introduced him to the producer with a smile: "This is my child, Wen Xingze. Aze, this is the chief producer of "Dust Planet", Mr. Lin."

Wen Xingze’s brain stopped working: “…Hello, Mr. Lin, what’s your name?” What the hell is going on?

The man with the mustache was no longer thinking: "...Excuse me, your last name is Lin." What the hell is going on?!

"Child?" Producer Lin couldn't help but question the title, because Char didn't look old enough to have a 24-year-old child.

"Yes," the elven priest didn't understand what he meant. He smiled with a hint of confusion, "or rather, it's our king."

Wen Xingze: "Wait—"

Producer Lin thought for a moment, then looked at Char with awe. "Oh, you must be the Emperor."

Char: “?”

Producer Lin thought, no wonder he is so rich.

Just half an hour ago, this mysterious gentleman parachuted in with huge funds and replaced a real estate tycoon to become the biggest sponsor of "Dust Planet".

“…”

Muse Empire.

[Cloud Marshmallow: Grass, the Emperor]

[asduyfut: We are all emperors???!]

Wuzhu: I'm so envious! Are you elves all so calm and at ease in front of His Majesty? And even so cheerful and cheerful? The mermaids almost froze up when they first saw the cubs.

[BizXia: First of all, let me clarify that my computer didn't freeze. Secondly, my cub is so cute.]

[Hat is so hard to buy: ...? Easy to do?]

Elf main star.

The moonlight, like silver frost, shines on the earth and deep into the forest.

The elves no longer believe in gods, but they still retain many of their past traditions. For example, at certain special moments, the dark elves will convey their voices to each other.

The more hateful and malicious the voice is, the sharper and louder it sounds. However, on very rare occasions, they can hear the voice of joy and happiness...

It's sweet.

Like strawberry flavored glutinous rice candy.

Just like right now.

There are only two voices in the brain: 'How cute, so cute, so cute, so cute' and 'Our cub, our cub, our cub, our cub'... No need to guess, these are all the voices of their great elf priest.

Some elven priests looked calm on the surface, but their brains were blank, and they were just a little bit away from fainting from being so cute.

On the screen of "Cub Raising Project," Xia Ya rested a hand on Wen Xingze's shoulder, his pointed ears raised high as he introduced his cub to Producer Lin. Producer Lin listened with a delighted "wow" expression, while the cub smiled innocently beside him.

It is a classic scene that is very common in movies and TV dramas, showing off one's good child to relatives, friends and neighbors.

The dark elves, led by the Elf Chief, narrowed their eyes.

In short, it is very sour.

And just three seconds later, the voices heard by the dark elves changed from two sentences to three sentences - with one more sentence "Are you envious? Are you envious? Are you envious? Are you envious? Hahahahaha".

Dark elves: "..."

Get carried away!

You deserve a beating!

As we all know, although the elves love farming, are innocent, romantic and out of touch with the world...but just like the mermaids are shy, the dwarves are greedy, the dragons are simple-minded and the vampires are jealous, the biggest flaw in the elves' character is that they love to show off their extremely precious treasures.

At the same time, I hate others showing off to me.

“…”

The other side.

Wen Xingze's brain has basically given up thinking.

I imagine the same thing happened to the bearded producer Lin, because in response to the elf priest's endless stream of baby-showing quotes, he praised him with this: "Your son is truly a promising young man. He was only nineteen five years ago, and this year he's already twenty-four..."

Char: "Thank you so much."

Wen Xingze: “…”

Wen Xingze: “???” Something is not right!

He knew the character of the elves and of course knew that showing off was an important and necessary part of the elves, so he did not interrupt, but took this opportunity to look at Char.

Not counting the vampire parents in spirit form, he has never seen any parents in the world on Earth.

How should I put it, there was a very warm and solid feeling... Just as he was thinking this, a bottle of milk was suddenly handed to Wen Xingze.

It was the kind of baby bottle with a pacifier, translucent sky blue, with elves and scrambled eggs with tomatoes painted on the bottle wall, and it was filled with hot milk.

Xia Ya handed the bottle to Wen Xingze, and his emerald green eyes looked at him eagerly, full of anticipation.

In another universe, the dark elves also quieted down at the same time, their pointed ears drooping docilely, their deep, moist eyes staring at the screen, like some small animals.

This is the milk they boiled.

Honey was collected thousands of miles from the depths of the caves of the distant Kaba Galaxy. One gram of it was worth more than an equal weight of star diamonds. Of course, most importantly, they had worked together to design and create this milk bottle... because they heard that human children all needed milk.

Xia hadn't found a chance to take it out just now, and at this moment, the parents next to him were passing juice and water to their children through the railings, so he also had the opportunity to feed the baby.

Wen Xingze: “?”

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Wen Xingze hesitated for a few moments, then took a sip from Xia Ya's hand and praised him with a sincere and subtle compliment, "Hmm—delicious. Thank you for your hard work."

The elves were all happy in an instant.

Producer Lin and the staff in the background: “…” It’s very cute, but we have to pretend not to see it.

The little boy next to him looked at the older brother in surprise, not understanding why he still needed a pacifier at such a big age, while Wen Xingze remained calm.

Wen Xingze: "Gulp, gulp... burp."

At the moment when Wen Xingze burped lightly, the whole world fell into darkness.

“…”

Wen Xingze: “?”

Not metaphorically, but literally, I was plunged into darkness.

——There’s a power outage in this neighborhood.

We haven't had a power outage here in five or six years. It was probably a brief outage, as there was no advance warning. Perhaps a construction crew accidentally hit a power line or something.

In any case, no one has any experience in dealing with power outages now.

The audition room was quiet for a moment, and then there was a lot of noise.

…The children in the audition waiting area were not with their parents and were suddenly plunged into darkness, and they all panicked.

In order to prevent parents from leaking information about the movie through video recordings, parents' mobile phones were confiscated after entering the audition area. They could not turn on their flashlights and could only wait for the staff to find an emergency power source and flashlight.

This short half minute was a scene of chaos.

"Woo woo, mom and dad—"

The sobbing and screaming of little boys, the anxious voices of parents looking for their children, and the sound of footsteps.

The elven priest also became anxious.

Xia rolled up the snow-white cuffs of his robe, and light spots floated around him. He protected Wen Xingze behind him to prevent him from being bumped into by others.

The parents in the other universe were as panicked as any of the parents present. The darkness was brewing unknown fears, and they hated the feeling of watching their children disappear from their sight.

This makes them feel helpless and painful, as if their hearts are being gripped by someone's hands.

“…”

After waiting for about ten seconds, with no sign of the staff turning on the lights, Wen Xingze decided he couldn't continue like this. There were so many people here, and the child wasn't even with his parents. What if there was a stampede? What if the child got lost in the panic?

Moreover, for unknown reasons, he actually felt a sense of heartache.

This made him feel that he had to do something.

But he didn't know what to do for a moment. In a hurry, Wen Xingze remembered the seven lollipop sticks he had eaten, and now there was an extra pacifier...

Well……

At the same time.

When the power went out, Li Mingzhou, the director of "Dust Planet," was rushing to the audition waiting area to find the producer. Li Mingzhou felt that this was ridiculous.

"Why did the biggest investor change? This Muse or something... I've never heard of it!" Li Mingzhou thought to himself, "Is it related to Wen Xingze? But there's no role suitable for him in our movie, and he has so little big screen experience—"

It’s not directed at Wen Xingze.

Li Mingzhou is a director who places great emphasis on the artistic expression of the lens. He pursues his own unique lens language and demands extremely high expressiveness from actors. It is no exaggeration to say that none of the new generation of actors can catch his eye.

When the power suddenly went out, Li Mingzhou immediately became anxious. This was an old neighborhood, and it would take some time to turn on the backup power supply.

Will there be any accidents over there? There are so many children!

However, when he and his assistant arrived, the chaotic scene they had imagined did not happen.

Instead, there was… music.

It was like some kind of wind instrument, a unique, somewhat crude yet surprisingly interesting piece of music. It was like the kind of folk artists who played with various bottles and jars.

Starting with a simple and pleasant melody, the tune gradually became richer, with the sound of children humming and clapping along with the melody.

Just this one song captured the attention of all the children, making them forget their fear of the dark during a power outage. Parents were also able to find their children one by one in the dim light.

"...Who is it, and what is that playing?" Li Mingzhou's curiosity had reached its peak. He said "excuse me" a few times, walked into the crowd, and then saw a scene that he would never forget in his life.

That was a young boy.

In the middle of the bustling crowd, the corners of his eyes and the tips of his hair were shimmering with a faint light, like fireflies. He bit a lollipop and played it, his eyes slightly lonely, almost sad.

It was as if an unknown vine was growing downwards from his back, covered in thorns but still lush. From the top of the ruins, where the skylight ended, there was a withering rose.

“…”

It was not known how much time had passed. Perhaps it was not until the backup power was reactivated and the assistant patted his shoulder and called "Director Li" that Li Mingzhou regained some consciousness.

In that brief moment, many images from the film "Dust Planet" flashed through his mind, and the words originally written on the paper seemed to come alive. He wanted this young man to act in his movie... No, he couldn't be so hasty, but he at least wanted this young man to audition!

Li Mingzhou listened in a trance, wondering what song was being played.

It makes me nostalgic, and I feel so moved just by listening to it. It is so silent and lonely, but also has light. Of course, the most important thing is the person who plays this song...

When the song ended, the children and parents over there began to applaud excitedly, and Wen Xingze smiled embarrassedly.

And Li Mingzhou finally remembered the melody.

...The song being played is "Unforgettable Tonight".

And it has a bit of a smell.

Li Mingzhou: “…”

Damn!
