In the next few days, Bai Peilan did not contact Mu Yunzhou, let alone Rong Jing.
Rong Jing glanced at the news that suddenly popped up on his phone screen, which showed that the other party was about to marry into a wealthy family, and closed the page without paying much attention. Then he checked the time and got up to change his clothes.
Today is the day when the casting for the TV series "Who is the Third Person" begins.
Xun Hao had already received the invitation from Xie Entertainment. Seeing the two words "Rong Jing" clearly written on the invitation, he did not dare to be careless. After contacting Rong Jing, he came over today to send him off in person.
Forensic pathologist Ning Chen is a person with severe mysophobia and even a little obsessive-compulsive disorder, so he pays great attention to details in his dress and appearance.
The crisp, fitted white shirt was spotless, with the top button fastened. The slightly loose black windbreaker looked simple, but the material used was excellent. It was casually opened slightly, but the distance between the cuffs was not off by a single centimeter.
As for that silver hair... Rong Jing gently tied her hair up with a hairband behind her head, then looked at the mirror and frowned slightly.
A light golden aura flashed gently, and the silver-white luster was gently covered, turning into a thick, soft and shiny black.
...I'm not used to it.
Rong Jing was born with silver hair in his previous life. Although he was reborn in the body of the original owner in this life, due to the influence of his soul, his appearance became more and more similar to that of his previous life.
He had never seen himself with black hair, and now it seemed... a little strange.
But Rong Jing was distracted for only a moment and quickly came back to his senses.
There were several knocks on the door. Rong Jing tied her hair up again and walked over to open the door.
"Master Rong Tian, I'm here to pick you up..." and go to the audition.
The door opened, Xun Hao looked up and was stunned. He didn't even finish his sentence before his voice died in his throat.
"?" Rong Jing lowered his eyes to look at him, then asked, "Go over now?"
“Ah… ? Yes, it’s almost time if we go there now.” Xun Hao took a step back and responded quickly.
There was a pot of broad-leaved orchid planted at the door. Xun Hao saw Rong Jing come out with a cup of water and water the orchid. Then he stood up, put the cup away, looked at him and said, "Let's go."
Xun Hao: "Ah, okay."
The casting meeting was held at Xie Entertainment, which was quite far from Rong Jing's home.
Xun Hao was driving the car in front. Occasionally, when he encountered a traffic light, he couldn't help but look through the rearview mirror at Rong Jing in the back seat of the car.
He has been with Rong Jing for nearly three years, and logically, he should have seen him with black hair many times, but now he doesn't know why, he always feels that Rong Jing now is completely different from the Rong Jing he has seen before.
He previously thought that it was an illusion caused by Rong Jing's dyed silver hair, but now that Rong Jing has dyed his hair back to black, that strange feeling still exists.
……Too.
He didn't know before that this little-known figure under his command would become the Taoist priest who was revered by ordinary people.
With a sigh in his heart, Xun Hao parked the car, and then took Rong Jing to Xie Entertainment.
The Xie Group has a profound foundation, and as its subsidiary, Xie Entertainment’s capital is naturally extraordinary.
The towering building has a unique design, and most of the people coming and going in front of the door are young and beautiful men and women. The vitality and wealth linger around the building like water, shining brightly in the sun.
Rong Jing casually glanced at this building, and then his eyes fell on the building next to it, which looked more solid and taller in design.
Xun Hao noticed his gaze and explained casually, "That building over there is the Xie Building."
It is also the headquarters of Xie Group in Beijing. Xie Xuanqing's daily office is in that building.
Rong Jing hummed softly, then retracted his gaze and followed Xun Hao into Xie Entertainment.
It was early winter weather, but when I walked into the hall I felt a warm sensation.
Rong Jing raised his eyes and took a casual look, and took in the internal design of Xie Entertainment.
In his opinion, Xie Entertainment probably did not hire a Feng Shui master to design the entire layout, so the aura formed by some arrangements looked a bit messy.
But the amazing thing is that although the layout of the entire hall has some small obstructions, the feng shui pattern formed by the overall combination is very good, with the meaning of rising to the sky and riding the wind, which is exactly what entertainment companies and artists want.
Is this another work of Xie Xuanqing?
Rong Jing subconsciously thought of the Xibeijiang Bridge, and then collected his thoughts.
The receptionist's astonished gaze lingered on Rong Jing for a moment, then she reached out to take the invitation letter handed over by Xun Hao, took a look at it, and politely pointed out the floor where the casting meeting would be held.
Rong Jing raised his eyes and said, "Thank you."
"You're so polite." The receptionist was a little surprised, but still replied with a smile, but the smile on her face was much more genuine.
The casting was scheduled on the eighth floor of the building. When Rong Jing and Xun Hao arrived, quite a few people were already in the corridor.
At this time, everyone noticed Rong Jing, the newcomer. After exchanging glances with each other, someone came forward to talk to Rong Jing.
Although not many people know that Rong Jing is also a Heavenly Master, it is not an absolute secret.
Lin Ruisheng came forward with his assistant and greeted him with a smile: "Master Rong Tian."
They had worked together before, and the footage of their collaboration was screenshotted by a marketing account and used as "evidence" to slander Rong Jing. Although Wang Yizhou was behind this, it was also related to Lin Ruisheng.
When Lin Ruisheng's agent found out that the other party was a Taoist priest, he was so anxious that he almost got angry. He was afraid that Rong Jing would vent his anger on Lin Ruisheng, so he had planned to go to his house to apologize in person, but was finally stopped by Lin Ruisheng.
If you show up rashly, you will seem guilty and impolite.
Rong Jing raised his eyes and glanced at him, recalling the original owner's memory. After a pause, he said calmly, "Teacher Lin."
"Can I sit here?" Lin Ruisheng does not have the kind of pretty boy looks that is popular nowadays. His facial features are rather handsome, but not too rough. When he smiles, he even gives people a solemn and gentle feeling.
As the saying goes, you shouldn't hit someone who smiles at you. Now that the other party asked in a nice tone, Rong Jing glanced at him and then lowered his eyes: "Teacher Lin, please feel free to do as you please."
Lin Ruisheng smiled again and slowly sat down next to Rong Jing.
"I haven't had time to apologize to you for what happened before." Lin Ruisheng said softly, his eyes falling on Rong Jing's face.
"What happened before had nothing to do with Teacher Lin, so there's no need to apologize."
The answer was similar to what he had imagined, but also quite different.
Lin Ruisheng's smile remained unchanged, but he shook his head: "That's what I said, but I was a little slow to clarify at the time, which probably caused Master Rong Tian to be scolded a lot."
“…”
Thinking of the reason why the original owner died, Rong Jing frowned and said nothing more.
Now that Wang Yizhou has been sentenced to death, those marketing accounts that distort the truth for the sake of traffic and money are on the verge of bankruptcy under the pressure from the Wang family and the retribution of their evil deeds.
Lin Ruisheng really had no responsibility in this matter, and the original owner did not bear any grudge against him before his death. It was just that he wanted to apologize, but he should not speak on behalf of the original owner to say whether to forgive or not.
"I heard that Xie Entertainment attaches great importance to this casting, and even the person above is here." Seeing that Rong Jing didn't say anything, Lin Ruisheng was silent for a moment and then changed the subject.
It took Rong Jing a moment to react and realize that the "person above" in his words referred to Xie Xuanqing.
“……” I didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Lin Ruisheng was a smooth talker. He noticed Rong Jing's calm expression, thought for a moment, and said, "But I can't say for sure... It's just a rumor that came from somewhere."
Almost everyone who has had contact with the aristocratic families in Beijing knows that the head of the Xie family rarely appears in public.
Although Xie's Entertainment is important, it is only a subsidiary of the Xie Group. No matter how much it values the projects it hosts, it can only be regarded as a small matter compared to the entire Xie Group, which is like a behemoth.
As Lin Ruisheng was talking, he felt that this gossip was a bit unreliable. He smiled casually and then talked to Rong Jing about the next casting meeting.
"Come to think of it, Master Rong is going to audition for the role of Ning Chen this time, right?" Lin Ruisheng took a look at Rong Jing's attire and guessed the role he wanted to audition for.
Rong Jing came back to his senses and replied calmly, "Yeah."
Lin Ruisheng: "This role is not easy to play..."
The role he was auditioning for today was not Ning Chen, but Ning Chen's early partner, the project team leader Li Shaoxuan.
When Lin Ruisheng received the script from Xie Entertainment, he knew that the most outstanding character in the script was not the protagonist Li Shaoxuan, but the second male lead and supporting role Ning Chen.
But his appearance didn't match Ning Chen in the script, and the script handed over by Xie Entertainment was really good, so he chose the role of Li Shaoxuan as a second choice.
As long as the actors perform well enough, the character's brilliance will naturally increase.
——But once the actor’s performance is not up to standard, the characterization of the entire character will be greatly reduced, and in serious cases it may even appear deliberately clumsy.
Lin Ruisheng had only worked with Rong Jing in one play before, and they only had a few hours of acting time together, so he had no idea what Rong Jing's true level was now.
After a two-second pause, he didn't know what to ask Rong Jing directly, so he just said, "But I believe that you can do it, Master Rong Tian."
Rong Jing: "...Thank you."
Lin Ruisheng smiled.
The casting meeting started soon and the assistant director started calling people outside.
Lin Ruisheng was auditioning for the lead role of Li Shaoxuan, so he had to get up and move to another spot.
However, after several batches of actors had gone through the process of dividing the roles, there were still nearly a dozen actors auditioning for the role of Ning Chen.
Rong Jing arrived neither too early nor too late, so he lined up in the middle.
Soon, the assistant poked his head out and called his number.
Rong Jing stood up and walked towards the audition room under everyone's gaze.
Compared to the audition hall of Ruiming Entertainment, the venue of Xie Entertainment is larger, and the equipment prepared for the audition is more numerous and complex.
Rong Jing glanced around the audition room, but surprisingly did not see Xie Xuanqing.
...Maybe the other party really didn't come. Rong Jing frowned and retracted his thoughts.
The director and producer present greeted him politely. Rong Jing reached out, took the lottery tube from the assistant, and drew one at random.
"The segment you are going to perform is segment number 35." The assistant glanced at Rong Jing and blushed slightly.
The actor whose audition name was Rong Jing was extremely handsome. The assistant found the script excerpt that the actor had drawn and handed it to him, then quickly stepped aside.
The audition clip was just a small piece of paper in his hand. Rong Jing lowered his eyes and read it carefully.
The clip he drew was not difficult, but it was not easy either.
This is the scene where Ning Chen deals with the traces on the murder weapon and then returns to the police station to work.
Rong Jing recalled the entire plot of the play, then returned the paper to the assistant within a certain time.
Then he lowered his head, bent down slightly, reached out and twisted the air as if he was turning on a faucet.
His movements were not fast, and even seemed a little too slow.
The beautiful fingers gently wiped the scalpel, and the bright red blood merged into the clear water and was quickly diluted and disappeared.
The scalpel, which was stained with warm blood just a moment ago, was quickly rinsed clean.
However, Ning Chen still seemed a little dissatisfied. He stretched out his hand and squeezed some hand sanitizer, then gently rubbed out the foam and applied it on the blade.
During this whole process, his sleeves were carefully rolled up on his forearms, and his crisp shirt was as white as snow, without a trace of disorder.
The director looked at Rong Jing's face. The amber eyes that he thought were too cold when he came in were now filled with a joyful smile.
His delicate eyebrows were unexpectedly relaxed, and if you looked closely, he seemed to be humming a tune. He looked like a restrained and gentle gentleman.
However, when considering what he was doing now and how he had tortured and killed a living person ten minutes ago, that gentle smile was suddenly covered with a layer of deep chill, which made people feel frightened.
After washing for nearly five minutes, he finally seemed to be satisfied. After carefully wiping the scalpel with a tissue and putting it back in his pocket, Ning Chen stood up and lowered his sleeves.
Then he tied up his loose long hair again.
After doing all this, he smiled and walked out of the bathroom.
The police station was not far away. Ning Chen didn't call a taxi, but walked there slowly by himself.
"Hello, Officer Li." It seemed like someone greeted him. Ning Chen raised his eyes slightly, nodded with a warm smile, and responded.
Then he walked to one of the seats, took out the egg pancakes and soy milk he had bought earlier and put them on the table: "Officer Luo Yu, these are the soy milk and egg pancakes you asked me to buy yesterday. Try them and see how they taste."
Luo Yu reached out to take the omelet and touched it. It was still warm.
"It's just something I did on my way. You're welcome." Ning Chen said with a smile.
He has a handsome and dignified appearance, an indescribable elegance in his manners, gentle and polite, and is very popular in the police station.
After chatting for a while, it seemed that there was another case. Ning Chen quickly put away the smile on his face, then searched in his windbreaker, took out a pair of snow-white gloves and put them on.
"Where is the body of the deceased? Take it to the autopsy room first and prepare the autopsy records immediately..."
His movements were extremely quick, and in just a dozen seconds, he transformed into the most dedicated and authoritative forensic doctor Ning on the dissection table.
A fragment passed.
Rong Jing slowly took off the gloves on his hands, and his eyes returned to their usual indifference.
The director and producer also came back to their senses from the previous clip. They stared at Rong Jing for a few seconds before asking, "Have you studied anatomy before?"
Regardless of Rong Jing's emotional expression just now, there was nothing wrong with his movements of washing the scalpel and even the dissection technique he simulated by putting on gloves at the end.
The actors who had auditioned earlier had naturally prepared a lot, but perhaps because of their different knowledge systems, they always made some mistakes in more professional aspects.
Unexpectedly, Rong Jing shook his head: "No."
But before the audition, he looked up many related videos, watched the techniques, and tried to practice.
The director recalled that his performance just now was indeed a bit awkward, and nodded to indicate that he understood.
Then he focused on Rong Jing's emotional performance just now.
There is no doubt that Rong Jing's performance is still a bit superficial, but he seems to have learned some skills from somewhere, and some overly superficial emotions were handled very well.
The core of the character Ning Chen is actually the word "contradiction", and Rong Jing interprets it vividly.
His gentle and elegant appearance conceals a ferocious soul, and the blood on the hilt of the knife is intertwined with the joyful smile in his eyes.
The director pondered for a moment and didn't say much. He just said that his performance was good and he would call him when there was any news.
Upon hearing this, Rong Jing nodded slightly and followed the assistant who led the way away.
After he left, the producer said, "His acting is better than I expected."
The news that the higher-ups intended to hand over the role of Ning Chen to Rong Jing would naturally not be hidden from them.
The producer himself also knew some inside information. He thought that Master Rong Tian was just here to play around in the circle, but he didn't expect that the other party's acting skills were really beyond his expectations.
This may have something to do with having the complete script in advance, but if Rong Jing himself did not have that kind of talent, or was not working hard enough, even if the script was broken down and given to him in full a month in advance, I'm afraid he would not be able to perform to the effect he has today.
"Yeah. Not only is he talented, but he's also willing to work hard."
It sounds easy to learn the techniques by watching relevant videos, but when you actually do it, it can only be described as boring.
Not everyone is willing to learn the skills that the character possesses by themselves. Most people would wait until the filming begins and then seek off-site guidance or simply do it themselves.
The director and producer attach great importance to this script and naturally will not allow the actors to mess around. Now that they see that some actors are willing to learn it themselves, they feel even more satisfied.
The two looked at each other and basically ranked Rong Jing as the first choice. However, there were still a few actors who had not auditioned yet, so they didn't say much and just asked them to continue.
Rong Jing came out of the audition room. Xun Hao stood up and handed him a bottle of water. He didn't ask about the result, but just said, "Your phone rang just now, but I didn't open it to check."
An artist’s cell phone is no secret to their agent, but Xun Hao doesn’t dare to use the same trick on Rong Jing.
He respectfully handed the phone back to Rong Jing, then took his things and walked towards the elevator.
Rong Jing took a sip of water, then opened his phone and took a look.
He paused.
Xun Hao turned around: "?"
"...Nothing." The elevator was already going down. Rong Jing calmly closed the page on his mobile phone and said lightly.
Xun Hao naturally didn't ask any more questions.
Just as the elevator went down and they walked out of Xie's entertainment hall, a somewhat familiar face appeared in front of them.
"Master Rong." When Yue Feng saw Rong Jing, he looked at his tied-up black hair with some surprise, then came over and greeted him in a low voice, his words full of respect.
Xun Hao took a while to identify who the person in front of him was, and then subconsciously thought of the identity of the person he often followed.
"..." After breathing rapidly for half a second, Xun Hao turned his head to look at Rong Jing.
Rong Jing: "Xie Xuanqing asked you to wait for me here?"
This was the first time someone addressed the head of the Xie family by his full name, but Yue Feng did not object. Instead, he said, "Yes, sir, let me wait for you."
Rong Jing did not move, but lowered his eyes and continued to ask: "What's wrong with him?"
Yue Feng: “…” I don’t know either.
Rong Jing looked at him for a while, then turned around and said something to Xun Hao, then signaled Yue Feng to lead the way.
Xun Hao naturally had no objection - in fact, he was relieved.
Rong Jing is not difficult to get along with. But his eyes are too clear and calm, which always makes people feel that they are seen through.
Every time Xun Hao met his gaze, even if he had not done anything wrong, he would still feel an inexplicable sense of nervousness.
Now that he didn't have to go back in the same car with Rong Jing, Xun Hao felt a little regretful that he couldn't continue to get closer to Rong Jing, but he was very decisive in taking the keys and leaving.
Rong Jing: “…”
Having just met him a few days ago, Yue Feng was now familiar with Master Rong Tian. After thinking about why he was here today, he asked, "Master Rong Tian, are you here for an audition today? I almost forgot."
However, Yue Feng suddenly thought of Xie Xuanqing picking this time to get off work and came over, and he was shocked.
Could it be that the master of the house is keeping it in mind? !
The more he thought about it, the more doubtful he became, and his steps became hesitant.
Fortunately, the driver parked the car not far away, only about ten steps away. Rong Jing recognized the Cullinan that Xie Xuanqing often rode at a glance.
I walked over and knocked on the car window, and the door was opened from the inside.
Xie Xuanqing's handsome and deep face appeared in the car. He raised his head, and the emotion in his eyes was a little dark for a moment: "Mr. Rong."
"...Yeah." Rong Jing responded calmly, and then asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"If there's nothing else, can't I go find Mr. Rong?" Xie Xuan chuckled, "I thought maybe we could be considered... friends?"
Rong Jing: “…”
As if sensing Rong Jing's inner silence, Xie Xuanqing sat a little further inside, then said seriously: "In fact, the land in the east of the city has been planned, and I would like to ask you to help me look at the Feng Shui."
"I have never believed in metaphysics before, and I don't have a close relationship with other masters. I can only come to ask for help from Master Rong Tian." His voice was low and magnetic, and when he spoke in a low voice, there was an unbearable sense of helplessness, which made people feel soft-hearted.
However, with the background of the Xie Group, even if there is no friendship with ordinary masters, if he goes to them in person, the friendship will naturally be established.
Moreover, his behavior was so similar to that of Xie Chong in the past that Rong Jing could tell how much truth there was in his words just by looking at him.
After a moment of silence, Master Rong Tian leaned over and got into the car.
A barely visible smile flashed across Xie Xuanqing's eyes, and then his gaze fell on Rong Jing's black hair.
He wanted to go and see the audition, but for some reason, he felt that Rong Jing would not like him doing this, so he stayed in the office and did not leave.
But he still watched Rong Jing's performance through the live recorded video.
...even better than he had imagined.
How could such an outstanding person exist? This thought flashed through Xie Xuanqing's mind.
