Audition

After thinking it through, Dr. Qiu shook his head without hesitation: "No, no need!"

“Don’t worry, Mr. Shen, I have absolute professional ethics and will never disclose your consultation content and information to anyone.”

Hearing this, Shen Xiu's tense body gradually relaxed, as if his heart, which had been tightened by being held, also resumed beating normally. Shen Xiu put on a mask and sunglasses and nodded slightly: "Okay, thank you."

So, her answer has passed the 'review'?

"...N-You're welcome."

While Qiu Yan was speaking, she looked at Shen Xiu's expression nervously.

Through the sunglasses, Qiu Yan couldn't see the look in Shen Xiu's eyes when he looked at her at this moment, but even without seeing it, Qiu Yan could imagine how cold the gaze of those eyes behind the sunglasses was when he looked at her at this moment.

A person who clearly knows that she is "sick", but controls herself so perfectly that there is not even the slightest flaw to be found, even if she really dares to prescribe medicine, will the medicine really work?

Shen Xiu: "Goodbye."

Qiu Yan: "Goodbye!"

Chen Xiu got on the bus. There were not many people on the bus, so Chen Xiu found an empty seat close to where he would get off and sat down.

Sitting in the chair, Shen Xiu felt a little disappointed when he thought of what Dr. Qiu said.

But then I remembered that although I was sick, it was not yet time for me to take medicine.

It seems...it's okay?

Watching Shen Xiu get on the bus and the bus drove away, Qiu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest, and muttered to herself: "It's finally over..."

Before it even really started, Shen Xiu was unwilling to continue, and pointed out the fact that he was abnormal before leaving.

Arrogant, reckless, absolutely confident and sure...

All of this made Qiu Yan look at the back of the bus and sigh in a low voice: "As expected of Shen Xiu..."

"Wait...was Chen Xiu riding the bus just now?"

Qiu Yan thought of what was said online, that the number of times he had seen Shen Xiu driving was not even a fraction of the number of times he had taken the bus, so she didn't think it was strange that Shen Xiu took the bus.

After all, doing whatever is convenient for you and never caring about other people's opinions is what true cultivation is.

As for the fact that Shen Xiu came for psychological counseling today and his mental state, she would not tell anyone, whether out of professional ethics or fear of Shen Xiu.

When Shen Xiu left home, he was in a heavy mood because he didn't know what his "illness" was. When he returned home, he was in a bright mood when he knew that his illness was very mild, so mild that he didn't even need to take medicine.

Chen Xiu, in a very good mood, rubbed Lucky hard. When Lucky jumped to the top of the cat climbing frame to avoid it, Chen Xiu regretfully stopped.

Shen Xiu sat on the sofa, picked up the tablet on the coffee table and continued reading the novel he had not finished.

Three hours later, after finishing reading another novel, Shen Xiu rubbed his eyes. After reading so many different types of novels, Shen Xiu felt a little confused and didn't know what kind of content he wanted to shoot.

Everyone's brain is different, so naturally they think differently. Chen Xiu felt that he could not ask others to write words that touched them.

to this end......

Shen Xiu opened the closed notebook, turned it on, and held it on his lap.

Give it a try, Shen Xiu thought, it's better than looking for a needle in a haystack.

Chen Xiu opened the document and his index finger fell on the keyboard...

A week later.

Shen Xiu sat back on the sofa and typed the word "ending".

Thinking back to the script he wrote, although Shen Xiu didn't want to admit it, he still detected a hint of... twisted perversion in the words he wrote?

Thinking of these words, Shen Xiu frowned subconsciously, saved the document skillfully, and uploaded it to the cloud disks of three different apps before getting up and walking towards the bathroom.

In the bathroom, Shen Xiu turned on the faucet and poured cold water on his face with both hands.

The cold water droplets come into contact with the warm skin of the human body, rolling down the skin, leaving only a slight coolness on the face.

Cold water splashed on his face, Shen Xiu raised his eyes to look at himself in the mirror, and his mind became much calmer.

After calming down, Shen Xiu thought about his previous thoughts and found them funny.

The psychiatrists all said that his illness was very mild, so mild that he didn't need to prescribe any medicine.

Twisted and perverted?

How could this word be related to him?

He must be thinking too much! He is very normal, so normal that he doesn't need to take medicine! To round it off, apart from not being able to smile, he is a completely sunny, cheerful and positive college student!

Now that he had the script, all he needed were the actors, filming equipment, and the formation of a creative crew. Summer vacation was not long, and Chen Xiu had no time to waste, so he no longer had time to think about whether he was perverted or not.

Putting the matter behind him, Chen Xiu faced himself in the mirror. It should be the face he was most familiar with, but after staring at it for a long time, Chen Xiu felt embarrassed and a sense of strangeness that he couldn't explain.

Thinking of this, Shen Xiu felt a chill on his back. He looked away, no longer looking at himself in the mirror, turned around and strode out of the bathroom.

Returning to the sofa, Shen Xiu seemed to be escaping, not wanting to let the previous episode occupy his mind anymore, so he opened his notebook again, made a table, and began to fill in the required character traits based on the script he had written.

The script was written by Shen Xiu himself. When he was writing, Shen Xiu had already remembered all the characters and characteristics in the script clearly. When filling in the form, he did not need to open the script document for comparison.

An hour later, Shen Xiu browsed through it three times, confirmed that there were no problems, skillfully clicked Save, picked up the phone on the table, first consulted the directors Xuan Yushu, Xuan Ji and Shi Buwen on some questions, and then posted the list in The Galaxy group.

Everyone was chatting in the group, when suddenly Chen Xiu sent a spreadsheet file. The group members who saw it clicked it out of curiosity.

In the form that Chen Xiu sent out, he filled in the characteristics of the characters in the script who had more than ten lines, and at the end he filled in the names of the actors who Chen Xiu thought fit the characteristics of the characters.

Among them, there are several names of members of The Galaxy.

After Shen Xiu sent the list, he sent another sentence.

【Group Chat】

Shen Xiu: Do you have any actors to recommend?

Those who had spent some time reading the form clicked it out, and when they saw what Shen Xiufa said, combined with the content of the form they had just seen, the group was silent for a moment.

In the table, among the actor recommendations following the characters, there are only the names of Xiang Yueting, Zhuang Yi, Ning Sinian, and Jiang Yanxi, but no names of the rest of the cast members of The Galaxy.

If this happened in other teams, it would most likely be mistakenly believed that Shen Xiu had a good relationship with the people whose names were filled in, and that he was giving them backdoors and seeking benefits for them.

But when Mu Zhenchu ​​and others whose names were not filled in thought that this form was written and sent by Shen Xiu, they only felt the word "calm".

Chen Xiu said whatever he wanted to say without hiding anything. He was very open and frank, which made them feel comfortable.

If Shen Xiu didn't look for them, it must be because they didn't meet the requirements of the role, and it was definitely not to target or exclude them.

Jiang Yanxi and others whose names were filled in did not see the names of other friends. Although they were nervous at first, they quickly came up with an idea, just like Song Chengwang and others whose names were not filled in.

Shen Xiu wrote their names and gave them the opportunity to star in his movie because they must have met Shen Xiu's requirements for the roles, and it was definitely not a selfish backdoor.

After everyone in the group figured it out, they all typed responses.

【Group Chat】

Zhuang Yi:! So fast? What is the original novel? Curious, it's really fast!

Xia Wenhao: I seem to know someone whose image and appearance match the description. I will pass his business card to your agent or you later.

Song Chengwang: Tsk, I don’t know many people in the circle, so I can’t recommend anyone, but I want to make an appointment to visit the set!

Jiang Yanxi: Thank you, Captain Xiu! I know a friend who is quite suitable. If possible, I will contact her agent to see if I can have an audition.

Group chat messages came one after another, and Shen Xiu, who was used to peeking at the screen, had to hold down the screen and read slowly to avoid missing everyone's messages.

While Chen Xiu was swiping his phone to see the names of people recommended by everyone, he filled in the names of the artists in the list opened on his notebook.

After filling it out, Shen Xiu had time to type.

Shen Xiu: There is no original work, but an original script.

Chen Xiu: The statistics have been completed, thank you everyone!

Xiang Yueting: I’m already looking forward to it!

Ning Sinian: Add 1!

Business metaphor: Do you need investment?

Song Chengwang: Investment? Can you add me? (wink, unskilled cuteness)

Shen Xiu: Yes.

After replying, Shen Xiu sighed in his heart again, everyone is really a good person!

Not only did he recommend actors to him, but he also helped him to attract investment.

Shang Yu and Xiang Yueting were speechless for a moment when they saw Shen Xiu's response with an exclamation mark.

With Kota around, they thought that Shen Xiu, with his strong personality that wouldn't allow anyone to interfere, would only allow Kota to invest, ruthlessly strangling any opportunity for other investors to make decisions.

Unexpectedly, Shen Xiu would agree to their investment and let them have a share of the profits.

It's easy to tell that Shen Xiu's first movie is something that everyone is looking forward to. Even if it's a bad movie, with the label of "Shen Xiu", countless people will buy it out of curiosity.

What's more, how could a man like Shen Xiu, who pursues the ultimate perfection, allow himself to make a bad movie?

Even if it hasn't been filmed yet, they dare to guarantee that the movies made by Shen Xiu will only be good, not bad, and fame, box office awards, and making a lot of money will not be a problem.

Shen Xiu really had them in mind, and in order to let them have a share, he did not coldly reject their investment.

After ending the group chat, Song Chengwang couldn't help but call Shang Yu.

When the call was connected, Song Chengwang said, "This is Captain Xiu's first movie. It's definitely going to be a big hit. Do you want to send someone in?"

The Song family is different from the merchants and Kota. They all have their own entertainment companies, and it is normal for them to make money by promoting their own artists.

Shang Yu waved his hand and asked Assistant Tang to leave. After the office door closed, he spoke again, "Use your brain. This is Chen Xiu's movie. Letting us invest is a sign that Chen Xiu treats us differently."

"You really want to stuff someone in there. Do you want to influence Shen Xiu's opinion of the two of us?"

Song Chengwang: "...I understand."

Song Chengwang decided immediately that he couldn't let Shen Xiu down and learn from other investors who, once investing, wanted to insert their own company's or their favorite artists into the drama to affect Shen Xiu's filming.

Shang Yu was afraid that Song Chengwang would do something stupid, so he continued, "According to Chen Xiu's personality, if the two of us really put people in the crew and affected Chen Xiu's filming, Chen Xiu would definitely kick our people out without mercy and kick us two investors out as well."

Song Chengwang: “!”

"Whoever blocks someone is a dog!"

After saying that, Song Chengwang hung up the phone and immediately rejected the request for help in the WeChat message without mercy. He regretted telling his loudmouthed cousin about this matter, and now everyone knows about it.

Chen Xiu looked at the tables that had been sorted out for the second time, and after uploading them to different cloud disks one by one, he thought that these things had always been handled by the broker's system in the past. Before logging into the system with the broker's account, he called out tentatively.

"System, is it there?"

system:【! 】

Less than a second after the system came online, Shen Xiu's cold voice was heard.

Because he felt guilty for mentioning the "medical consultation" and hiding for so many days without saying a word, the moment he heard Shen Xiu's voice, the system subconsciously responded: [Here! 】

Shen Xiu: “!”

He just tried it out, but he didn't expect the system to actually go online.

The system disappeared for several days in a row. Shen Xiu was afraid that the system was busy, so he asked first: "Do you have time?"

Guilty system: [......Yes. 】

Chen Xiu then opened the schedule he had made: "Write down all the things I need to do recently. Take a look and see if there are any problems. If not, thank you for your help."

The system silently scanned the form on Chen Xiu's desktop into its own database.

In less than a second, the system was confused after browsing and digesting all the items.

During the ten days it disappeared, Shen Xiu returned from Basat after receiving the award, and wrote an original movie script with a total of 120,000 words. He also sorted out the potential actors and their contact information, decided on the filming location, and even found two investors!

...As expected of Shen Xiu, he can kill this commander with his sword!

What happened during this period when it did not dare to go online? !

Wait... Chen Xiu did so many things at once, does that mean...

Haha, as it guessed, Shen Xiu didn’t go to see a doctor, otherwise how could he have time to do these things.

Shen Xiu threw himself into busyness just to forget about seeing the doctor.

Although the system guessed it, it didn't dare to ask Shen Xiu, so it could only follow Shen Xiu's words: [...Leave it to me. 】

The system skillfully logged into the broker's special account, and instantly added the contact information in the form that Shen Xiu had sorted out.

While the system was waiting for the other party to pass, Shen Xiu's voice suddenly rang out.

"System, I have already seen a psychiatrist." Chen Xiu hesitated for a few seconds, but in the end he didn't feel comfortable deceiving the system that had been busying around for him, so he told the system that he had gone to see a psychiatrist.

system:【! 】

The system didn't dare to say anything, Shen Xiu continued: "The doctor said that the symptoms are very mild and no medicine is needed."

system:【? 】

The long-term effects are so intense that I can only numb myself by being constantly busy every day. I go to bed at two in the morning and get up at seven in the morning. In this state, I don't need to take medicine?

Haha, I’m deceiving it again!

The system thinks one thing and says another: […Okay. 】

There was no way. After it came back online, Chen Xiu did not cause it any trouble. He was willing to let it go and was willing to deceive it. What else could it be dissatisfied with?

It doesn't want to be reset again.

According to Chen Xiu's schedule, the system quickly arranged audition times with interested artists.

The news that Shen Xiu was going to film a movie and would soon audition spread like wildfire in the entertainment industry.

On the day of the audition, netizens were confused when they saw the news that Shen Xiu and Shi Buwen were waiting for the artists to audition.

--What? Is Shen Xiu serious? I thought it was hype that a celebrity in the industry let slip during a live broadcast a few days ago that he would audition for Shen Xiu’s new movie, but it turned out to be true! But I haven’t heard of anyone buying the copyright or that the screenwriter is going to cooperate with Shen Xiu?

——Otherwise, how could I, Xiubao, lie? I will definitely keep my word, but... I am also curious about the original work?

——As expected of me, you are the boss, you are so quick in action, and it’s just around the corner for you to take over the film and television industry!

——Nowadays, in order to gain instant popularity, most people like to adapt novels for filming. With such a short time, it is unlikely that they can produce an original script. I guess they bought the copyright of some unknown novel to adapt it, so there is no news about it.

——Watch an original work online!

Audition room.

As one of the assistant directors of this film, Shi Buwen brought several assistant directors and screenwriters to join the crew of Shen Xiu as the chief director.

but......

When they sat down at their seats, they were confused when they saw the forms and scripts handed out by Jin Can, who was temporarily serving as Shen Xiu's assistant.

As people who have participated in countless auditions, this was the first time they saw someone write down the requirements for a role in such detail, from height to facial features and even body characteristics.

They understand that in filming adaptations of novels, it is important for the characters to stick to the original work.

But in real adaptations, there are a lot of things that don't fit the original novels.

What's more, Shen Xiu's script was originally written by someone unknown, and there is no original work at all! Under such circumstances, it is too strict for Shen Xiu to set so many rules and regulations. How can the actors grow up according to Shen Xiu's requirements?

Of course, as "assistants", they only dared to mutter in their hearts. When they saw Shen Xiu sitting in the main seat with a grim expression, they dared not say a word. At most, they would just ask Shi Buwen for some gossip.

As the artists who were invited to audition thought that this was Shen Xiu's audition, they did not dare to relax and were ready to compete with countless people.

After all… this is Shen Xiu’s first play, only a fool would not compete!

but--

They arrived at the audition location fully armed with trepidation, and walked into the audition waiting room with their agent under the guidance of the staff. They were stunned when they saw the empty room.

As soon as the staff left, Ji Huaiyin couldn't help but speak.

"Did we go the wrong way? There are only a few people here..."

He was still unfamiliar with those people and felt that he had never seen them in the circle or on TV.

The agent was also confused, but looking at the surrounding environment and the staff's confident appearance in leading the way, he whispered, "It should be... not possible."

"Look, who would use such a luxurious waiting room as an audition waiting room? Only Chen Xiu has enough money to afford it."

Ji Huaiyin thought about it and said to himself, "There is another reason. Maybe we came too early and the others haven't arrived yet."

The agent glanced at the time on his phone and said dimly, "Maybe, after all, the order of the auditions is different, so it's possible that everyone came late, or maybe Shen Xiu arranged different waiting rooms for the auditions."

The more Ji Huaiyin and his agent talked, the more they felt they were right, so they waited quietly for the audition.

The other people in the room did arrive early. Just as Ji Huaiyin saw, the dramas they starred in were all online dramas. They were not famous and did not have agents to guide them. They went to the theaters for auditions on their own.

Therefore, they dared not to eat it and could only come early.

Seeing Ji Huaiyin, he was excited, but he didn't dare to approach him rashly without being sure whether they could be in the same crew in the future.

It was his first time filming, and Shen Xiu was very cautious.

With the right time, right place and right people, Chen Xiu, as a non-African, greedily wanted to take advantage of everything.

But Chen Xiu understood that he couldn't take advantage of it whenever he wanted, so he could only tamper with the audition time and manually select an auspicious time.

Chen Xiu was used to coming early. He glanced at the time on the wall. When the second hand reached the auspicious time he had chosen, Chen Xiu said without wasting a second: "Start."

Jin Can didn't expect that Chen Xiu would remember him and want him to be his temporary assistant. He was excited and nervous, and didn't dare to make any mistakes, for fear that Chen Xiu would kick him out.

Therefore, Jin Can was fully focused. The moment he heard Shen Xiu's voice, Jin Can immediately opened the door and called the first artist who was auditioning to come in.

Shen Xiu made detailed arrangements for the audition roles, the auditioners, the audition time, and the audition content on the distributed schedule.

The protagonist of the movie was naturally the first to audition.

During the time Ji Huaiyin was in the room, he did wait for several artists to arrive.

When Ji Huaiyin was greeting them, he found out that they, like himself, were contacted personally by Shen Xiu’s agent, and he felt lost for a moment.

He originally thought that Shen Xiu's agent had only contacted him personally, and he had high hopes, but judging from the communications with other artists, he was overthinking.

Before Ji Huaiyin had time to feel disappointed for too long, he was called to audition.

When the agent walked Ji Huaiyin to the audition room, he encouraged Ji Huaiyin and whispered, "Come on, you can do it!"

Ji Huaiyin thought of what the other artists had said just now, and an ugly smile appeared on his face: "I'm afraid it's not very possible. After all, there were only a few of us in that room just now. Shen Xiu's play can't have only a few people. There must be more than one audition room, and there must be multiple rooms auditioning together. The competition is too fierce. I can only guarantee my own performance. Believe it or not, it depends on God."

“After all…I’ve always been unlucky, and I don’t even know if I can match up with Shen Xiu in this audition room.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Huaiyin had already walked to the door.

Ji Huaiyin took a deep breath, then opened the door and stepped in...

The moment he stepped into the room, there were so many people in it, but Ji Huaiyin immediately looked at Shen Xiu who was sitting in the main seat in front. Facing Shen Xiu's expressionless and cold face, Ji Huaiyin's pupils dilated and his whole body stiffened, as if he was intimidated by some powerful force, and he stood still, unable to move.

Jin Can frowned and looked at Ji Huaiyin: "Mr. Ji?"

Jin Can handed Ji Huaiyin the paper of what he was going to perform: "You have ten minutes to read the script. It will start in ten minutes. Please be ready."

"......Okay." Hearing the voice, Ji Huaiyin calmed down, quickly lowered his head, and then held the thin paper with a cold feel in his hand, trying to concentrate on the script.

The content is very short, only a thousand words.

But... After reading the five hundred words over and over again, he did not find any signature. Ji Huaiyin's pupils trembled and he asked a soul-searching question: "Who wrote this?"

good evening!
