The young man was hit by a bullet fired from another direction and staggered to the ground.
"Cough cough—"
He clutched his chest, which had been pierced by a bullet, and gasped for breath on the ground.
Even as he faced death, his expression remained filled with resentment and unwillingness, as if he were about to transform into a vengeful ghost, staring intently at the person on the other side.
"You...won't succeed."
Idealists who see no hope in the darkness will sooner or later be swept away by the tide of the times, and the efforts of countless people will ultimately fail.
But all he wanted was to survive in this era.
"We will win, we will succeed, and not only that, we will sow the seeds of hope all over the land of China, so that countless people can live a happy and prosperous life in the future."
The male protagonist, Li Shuo, was not affected by the young man's last words at all. His voice was firm and strong, as if he had already seen that bright future.
He looked down at the people on the ground with a disdainful expression: "And you, you don't deserve to see this."
"cough--"
The young man's eyes widened, seemingly deeply shocked by his words, his body still trembling slightly from the fear of death.
But he didn't say another word. Instead, he glared at Li Shuo with hatred, his eyes gradually losing their light, and his hands fell limply to the ground.
The only sound in the space was his suppressed and irregular breathing, but it soon subsided into silence.
The face was still handsome, but the gloomy and distorted expression greatly ruined that feeling, making it even more terrifying.
He didn't close his eyes until his death, as if that would refute what Li Shuo said.
A tragic and hateful character born in this era has quietly come to an end.
However, no one will feel sorry about this.
Even the few audience members below the stage just nodded silently.
Director Wen Hongyuan and screenwriter Tan Yuan exchanged a glance and instantly understood each other's meaning.
Clearly, they were very satisfied with Xiao He's performance.
Although their acting was still a bit raw, the rich changes in their eyes and their unique charisma still earned them high marks for the performance.
It's no exaggeration to say that this is the best performance among the actors they've recently selected.
Many people only portray Meng Zetian's ruthlessness on the surface, while Xiao He hides that ruthlessness, concealing his murderous intent beneath his restraint.
This even gave Tan Yuan new inspiration.
Zhang Mo, who was acting alongside Xiao He, also stepped off the stage and nodded slightly to Wen Hongyuan and Tan Yuan.
Although Zhang Mo, as the male lead of this play, didn't have much choice, at least based on his performance just now, he had a very good impression of Xiao He.
Seeing this, Wen Hongyuan had already reached a general conclusion in his mind.
So, as soon as Xiao He returned to the "Catch the Thief" crew, he received news that he had passed the audition for "Shining Star".
He was notified to sign the contract tomorrow, and then go directly to the film crew to read the complete script while filming.
Unfortunately, the character of "Meng Zetian" has been delayed for too long. While other projects are progressing rapidly, this storyline is stuck and hasn't moved at all, which is making the production team very anxious.
This seamless transition to a new production is truly exhausting.
Xiao He also checked the approximate schedule and found that he would probably be spending New Year's Eve with the crew of "Shining Stars".
The character "Meng Zetian" has a relatively large number of scenes, and it's unclear whether filming will be completed before the Spring Festival.
