While struggling to adapt to cultural differences in a foreign land, Ling Yichen and Jun Mozhan faced the challenge of international auditions, a crucial step for them to enter the international film and television industry. However, the competitive pressure they faced was like a heavy mountain, making it hard for them to breathe.

After the audition announcement, aspiring actors from all over the world flocked to Hollywood. The audition venues were packed with talented individuals from diverse races, cultural backgrounds, and acting styles. Some were already well-known actors in their home countries, while others were top graduates from prestigious drama schools. Each of them carried an unwavering determination and boundless aspirations for the international stage.

Ling Yichen and Jun Mozhan entered the audition waiting area and immediately felt the tense and oppressive atmosphere. The actors around them were making the most of their last moments to familiarize themselves with their lines and adjust their state of mind. Some were reciting in hushed tones, some were practicing expressions and body language in front of the mirror, and others were enthusiastically discussing audition strategies with their agents or coaches. They saw a veteran actor from England, who had starred in many classic films, sitting calmly in a corner, his eyes revealing a seasoned confidence. Next to him was a young French actress; her unique charm and expressive eyes were hard to ignore. She was excitedly sharing her audition experience with her companion, seemingly filled with anticipation for this opportunity.

The role I'm auditioning for is an important supporting character in an epic fantasy film. Although not the lead, the character's rich personality and significant screen time have attracted fierce competition among actors. The audition requires actors to portray the character's resilience and courage while also conveying nuanced emotions, possessing fluent English dialogue skills, and a deep understanding of Western fantasy culture.

Ling Yichen's audition order was relatively late, which made him increasingly nervous while waiting. He repeatedly read his audition lines aloud, constantly pondering how to best portray the character. He knew that this audition was not only a test of his acting skills, but also a comprehensive assessment of his competitiveness in the international film and television industry.

Jun Mo Ran gently comforted him from the side: "Yi Chen, don't be too nervous. We have made full preparations, believe in your strength."

Although Jun Mo Ran appeared calm on the surface, he was actually under a lot of pressure inside.

Finally, it was Ling Yichen's turn to enter the audition room. He took a deep breath, trying to compose himself, and then walked in with his head held high. The audition room was filled with judges, including the director, producer, screenwriter, and casting director. Their eyes were all fixed on Ling Yichen, their gazes filled with scrutiny and expectation. The room was brightly lit, and Ling Yichen felt as if he were on a stage under a spotlight, with all eyes analyzing his every subtle movement and expression.

Ling Yichen began with a self-introduction as required, fluently recounting his acting experience, his passion for performance, and his understanding of the role he was auditioning for. His voice was steady and confident, attempting to conceal his nervousness. Next, he began performing the audition scene. During the performance, he strived to infuse his understanding of the character into every movement and every line. He attempted to portray the character's resilience in the face of adversity, his eyes revealing unwavering faith; in expressing emotions, he tried to be subtle and nuanced, allowing the judges to feel the character's inner struggles and tenderness. However, during the performance, he still felt some pressure. The judges' serious expressions and focused gazes distracted him, and he couldn't help but worry whether he could meet their expectations.

After the audition, Ling Yichen walked out of the room and let out a long sigh of relief. He knew he had done his best, but the outcome was still uncertain. Jun Mo Ran came up to him and inquired about the situation with concern.

Ling Yichen shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I feel like I performed okay, but the competition is too fierce. I don't know if I can stand out."

Jun Mo Ran then entered the audition room. He also faced immense pressure, but relying on his solid acting skills and the excellent mental fortitude cultivated during his special training, he strived to present his best performance. His performance was nuanced and layered, handling everything perfectly from the character's initial appearance to the gradual escalation of emotions. He breathed new life into the character with his unique acting style, impressing the judges. However, even though he felt he had performed well, he dared not relax in the slightest, because he knew clearly that on this highly competitive international audition stage, any small mistake could cost him the role.

The days spent waiting for the audition results were agonizing for Ling Yichen and Jun Moran. They checked audition-related news daily, their hearts filled with anticipation and anxiety. They saw other actors receiving their results, some elated, others dejected. This uncertainty made their emotions rollercoaster, sometimes brimming with hope, sometimes plunging them into despair.

Meanwhile, they were also reflecting on their performances during the auditions. Ling Yichen felt he could have handled a certain emotional outburst better, regretting not being more uninhibited; Jun Mozhan, on the other hand, worried that her acting style might be too unique and not suit the judges' tastes. They exchanged their thoughts, encouraged each other, and considered how to further improve their competitiveness in future auditions.

Finally, the day arrived to announce the audition results. Ling Yichen and Jun Mozhan checked the results with anxious hearts. Unfortunately, they didn't see their names on the first batch of selected candidates. This result left them feeling very disappointed, considering the amount of effort they had put into the audition. However, they were not discouraged. They knew that in the fiercely competitive world of international film and television, failure is the mother of success. This setback would only strengthen their resolve and motivate them to work even harder to improve themselves.

They carefully analyzed the reasons for their audition failure, identifying areas for improvement in acting skills, understanding of Western culture, and communication with international teams. They decided to develop a more detailed learning and training plan to address these issues and further enhance their overall abilities. They believe that with persistent effort, they will one day stand out in international auditions and realize their dream of entering the international film and television industry.
