After returning home from Qianying Entertainment, Du Yuanzhe began to prepare for the next audition.
He read the original work carefully, sorted out the relationships between the main characters, and then focused on writing a biography of Luo Xun.
The day before the audition, Du Yuanzhe singled out several scenes with complex emotions and acted them out several times in front of the camera, constantly adjusting his state until he was satisfied.
In fact, acting is not something that can be done by one person behind closed doors. To achieve good results, cooperation with the other actors is crucial. However, for auditions, the requirements are not too high. It mainly depends on the actor's acting skills and understanding of the role.
Early in the morning, Liu Xu brought Xiaopang to pick up Du Yuanzhe. Because the original owner was too lazy before, he didn't arrange too many people for him, and Xiaopang also served as the driver.
Liu Xu glanced at Du Yuanzhe, but couldn't see any change in him, so he asked, "How are you preparing?"
Du Yuanzhe patted the printed biography in his hand and said confidently: "I am 80% sure I can get this role."
"...I wish you success then."
Liu Xu used to think that although the eldest master was passive and lazy, he was still easy to serve. But now seeing that he has no self-awareness at all, Liu Xu feels that he will have troubles in the future.
Liu Xu lost interest in talking and went to the company in silence among the three of them.
The audition was at 2pm, and when Du Yuanzhe arrived, the audition had just begun. He found a seat and sat down, while Liu Xu went to inquire about the audition process.
Others were a little surprised to see Du Yuanzhe. Du Yuanzhe's identity was no secret in the entertainment industry, and many people knew that he was the second son of the Du family. People at Qianying Entertainment knew even more about this eldest son. They all knew that Du Yuanzhe only played roles with small parts and had never auditioned for a play. So why did he come to join in the fun today?
With this sudden change, people gathered together and talked in low voices, discussing the purpose of Du Yuanzhe's appearance here.
After a while, Liu Xu came back and said with a strange look on his face, "Boss Xia is here too."
Xia Ningmi has always believed that everyone has their own expertise and never interferes with casting matters. It was really strange that she showed up at the audition today.
Du Yuanzhe suddenly realized, and he said that some actors seemed inexplicably excited and nervous. It turned out that the big boss was also there. This was a rare opportunity. If the acting skills could catch the big boss's eye, then there would be a bright future for them.
Liu Xu handed the number plate to Du Yuanzhe and said, "I have already registered for you. Luo Xun is the most important role in this audition. It will be your turn soon. Don't worry about other things for now. Just adjust yourself to your preferred state."
Du Yuanzhe glanced at the number plate, which had the number 10 on it. It looked like not many people were auditioning for the role of Luo Xun. He arrived at the right time, and after a while, a staff member notified him to go in for the audition.
Seeing Du Yuanzhe stand up, the hall was suddenly filled with noise.
Everyone knows that the person being interviewed now is Luo Xun, so the significance of Du Yuanzhe going in now is self-evident.
Du Yuanzhe is actually going to play Luo Xun? ? ! ! !
The other actors wondered if they were dazzled.
"Does Second Young Master Du think Director Wang is one of those little directors?"
"Haha, the young master who has always had it easy is now going to experience the feeling of being covered in dust. Director Wang is famous for his outspokenness."
The original owner had not been serious about acting in recent years, and everyone else thought he was just playing around. From the way they addressed him, one could tell that no one really regarded the original owner as someone in the entertainment industry.
Du Yuanzhe didn't pay attention to what was happening outside. He followed the staff into the office and immediately saw Xia Ningmi, who was wearing a light blue business suit. In the entire office, she was the biggest bright spot that could not be ignored.
However, Du Yuanzhe noticed that Xia Ningmi was sitting next to Wang Ligang, and the person in the middle was still Wang Ligang, the director of "The Legend of Yunlan", which showed that the director was the one who made the decision.
Du Yuanzhe walked to the center of the room and said with a smile, "Hello, Director Wang. I'm Du Yuanzhe, auditioning for the role of Luo Xun."
Wang Ligang nodded slightly, his face expressionless, and asked as usual: "What kind of person do you think Luo Xun is?"
Du Yuanzhe had already thought about this, and said, "When Luo Xun was young, he witnessed his parents being killed by the demons. For many years, he was obsessed with revenge for his parents. So when he learned that the mastermind behind the incident was the Demon Lord, he resolutely changed to the magic path and eventually succeeded in killing the Demon Lord and replaced him as the new generation of Demon Lord. It can be seen that he is a very patient person who will do anything to achieve his goals."
"After the death of his parents, Luo Xun's world became bleak, filled with darkness and killing. To him, the heroine Yun Lan is not just a kind-hearted person, but also the last light in his heart. Yun Lan is the only soft spot in the heart of the ruthless Demon Lord Luo Xun. But he is conflicted towards Yun Lan. He hopes that Yun Lan can be with him, but he also thinks that he is dirty and unworthy of Yun Lan. He dares not even touch her. Therefore, he is very worried that Yun Lan will change, and he is afraid that the light in his heart will disappear."
"But his obsession with Yun Lan has penetrated deep into his bones, so Luo Xun has become more and more stubborn. Looking at Luo Xun's life, it is tragic, hateful and lamentable. In the end, he died for Yun Lan, which was a relief for him."
After listening to it, Wang Ligang smiled and said, "It seems that you have read the original novel. Then please act out the scene where Yun Lan learns about Luo Xun's true identity."
The first thing Luo Xun did after becoming the Demon Lord was to look for Yun Lan. After learning that Yun Lan had joined the Tianjian Sect, the number one righteous sect, Luo Xun immediately forged an identity to enter the Tianjian Sect, and under his deliberate arrangement, he got to know Yun Lan. Yun Lan was already isolated and helpless in the Tianjian Sect, and now that there was someone he knew, he became a little closer to Luo Xun.
But the good times did not last long. Luo Xun's identity was soon discovered by the heroine's master, the hero Qingyang Zhenren. Yun Lan learned of Luo Xun's true identity from Qingyang Zhenren, but did not completely believe it. He went to see Luo Xun with a glimmer of hope, hoping to hear Luo Xun's denial, but unexpectedly Luo Xun directly admitted it, and the two broke up.
Wang Ligang asked Du Yuanzhe to perform the scene where Yun Lan and Luo Xun completely broke up.
The female lead was played by Yang Shiyao from Qianying Entertainment. As soon as Wang Li finished speaking, she stood up and walked to Du Yuanzhe and said, "I'll cooperate with you."
Du Yuanzhe thanked: "Thank you, Teacher Yang."
Wang Ligang gestured, "Let's get started."
Yang Shiyao immediately adjusted her mood, staggered back a step, and looked at Du Yuanzhe with a look full of disappointment and sadness of losing a friend: "You are actually the Demon Lord!"
Luo Xun took a step forward and tried to get closer to Yun Lan, but was stopped by Yun Lan holding a sword.
Luo Xun paused. He knew that the days when he could see Yun Lan every day were gone forever. A trace of bitterness flashed across his eyes, and then his face turned cold and hard. He said, "The previous Demon Lord killed my parents. Everything I do is to avenge them."
Yun Lan did not accept this reason and said, "You do not have to join the devil path to seek revenge. The remaining evildoers of the devil path can be killed by anyone. If you join a sect, there will be real people to avenge you."
Luo Xun sneered: "True person? Those true persons think they are high and mighty, how could they care about the life and death of mortals?"
Seeing that Yun Lan was dissatisfied with what he said, Luo Xun continued: "The previous Demon Lord has been in charge of the Demon Cult for thousands of years. In these thousands of years, countless people have died tragically at the hands of the Demon Cult. What did the real person you mentioned do? The various sects of the righteous way keep saying that they want to attack the Demon Cult, but how many times has the real person actually taken action in these thousands of years?"
Luo Xun's expression became more and more indifferent: "To those real people, the death of my parents is just a death number. They will not change their so-called plan for the lives of all people in the world because of this. I can only rely on myself to take revenge."
Yun Lan pursed his lips and said, "You hate the Demon Lord for killing your parents, but what about you? How many people have died because of you over the years?"
Luo Xun said indifferently: "The victors are the kings and the losers are the bandits. In this cruel world, weakness is the original sin and mercy is the most ridiculous thing."
The expression that showed that he didn't care even if everyone in the world died made Yun Lan completely understand that Luo Xun was no longer the little beggar he used to be, but a big devil who had committed many murders.
Yun Lan's heart gradually turned cold, holding the sword, he said: "Then why do you have to pretend? You are no different from the previous Demon Lord. There is no point in saying more. Since you have joined the Demon Sect, you and I are irreconcilable. You can't leave the Heavenly Sword Sect alive today."
"Card!"
As Wang Ligang spoke, Du Yuanzhe and the other man calmed down.
Yang Shiyao looked at Du Yuanzhe deeply. She used to think that Du Yuanzhe was just a rich second-generation who entered the entertainment industry for fun, but today her mind changed completely. Du Yuanzhe's lines and expressions just now proved that he was capable of controlling Luo Xun.
Wang Ligang's smile deepened, and he turned to Xia Ningmi and said, "Boss Xia, I think Luo Xun can be decided now."
The meaning of this statement was very clear, and Du Yuanzhe was certain in his heart.
Xia Ningmi nodded: "It's up to Director Wang to decide."
Du Yuanzhe immediately thanked them: "Thank you, Director Wang, and thank you, President Xia."
Wang Ligang smiled and said, "Just play the role of Luo Xun according to your understanding. Remember to ask your agent to sign the contract."
Du Yuanzhe nodded in agreement, then turned and left.
Xia Ningmi watched him leave, then stood up and said, "I have something else to do. I'll hand it over to Director Wang."
Hearing this, several people in the room stood up and said, "Boss Xia, take care."
Outside the office
Seeing Du Yuanzhe walking out with a relaxed look on his face, Liu Xu hurriedly asked, "How is it?"
Du Yuanzhe said: "Director Wang told you to remember to sign the contract."
Liu Xu was shocked: "Is it true?"
He began to doubt his own judgment. Could it be that he really had made a mistake?
Xiaopang didn't think so much. When he learned that Du Yuanzhe had passed the audition, he smiled so hard that his eyes disappeared and congratulated Du Yuanzhe repeatedly.
Liu Xu had seen a lot of things in the world, so he quickly adjusted his mood and said, "Since it's successful, don't leave in a hurry. Come back to the office with me to discuss the next arrangements."
As the second male lead, Luo Xun's filming time is definitely not short. Liu Xu and Xiaopang are definitely not enough to be by Du Yuanzhe's side. Moreover, Liu Xu has more than one artist under him, Du Yuanzhe, and it is unlikely that he will stay with him in the crew all the time. In this case, it is inevitable to add more people to Du Yuanzhe's side.
When Xia Ning came out, she saw three people entering the elevator. She walked straight in, and Cheng Yu followed closely behind her, her expression no longer as surprised as before.
"Mr. Xia."
Liu Xu and Xiaopang hurriedly greeted them.
Xia Ning looked at Du Yuanzhe and asked, "Are you going to study acting?"
She had seen Du Yuanzhe's previous performances, and compared to now, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he had been completely transformed.
