On the day of the audition, Ouyang Qianran arrived a little late, so most of the auditioning actors had already arrived, and he arrived at the last minute without any rush.
After looking at the actors who came to audition, Ouyang Qianran couldn't help but sigh that Actor Ling was worthy of being an international actor. Just for his reputation as an international actor, regardless of the quality of the drama, several first-line actors came, including someone Ouyang Qianran was familiar with.
Ouyang Qianran was on the hot search headlines for several days because of the video of him performing on the street during the recording of "Star Challenge" a few days ago. He was already quite popular, and now he is even more popular. So as soon as he walked in, everyone recognized him at a glance and kept their eyes on him. Ouyang Qianran instantly became the focus of everyone.
"Second Young Master?"
A familiar voice came from the front, and then Liang Jianwen appeared in front of Ouyang Qianran with a smile on his face.
"Second Young Master, are you here for an audition as well?" Liang Jianwen's eyes were filled with a hint of surprise. In fact, he knew that his question was quite stupid. Those who came here must have come to audition for the roles in "Empire Overlord", otherwise who would have the time to hang out here?
"Yeah." Ouyang Qianran responded indifferently. He had a good impression of Liang Jianwen, but he did not expect that Liang Jianwen would come for an audition. It seemed that Actor Ling was indeed famous enough. The only problem was that he didn't know what role Liang Jianwen would be auditioning for.
"Come here, Second Young Master. There are seats here. Please sit here." Liang Jianwen took Ouyang Qianran and He Junjun to a sofa in a corner. Along the way, many artists took the initiative to greet Ouyang Qianran enthusiastically. Among them are several first-line artists who are ranked higher than Ouyang Qianran.
If Ouyang Qianran was just a mid-level first-tier artist, those people certainly wouldn't be so enthusiastic. But everyone knows that Ouyang Qianran is the second young master of the Ouyang Group. Just based on this identity, no one in the Chinese entertainment circle dares to offend Ouyang Qianran directly. Didn’t you see what happened to those who offended Ouyang Qianran?
Ouyang Qianran had just sat down with Liang Jianwen when he heard another familiar voice.
"Second Young Master, that's great. I didn't expect you to come too." A crisp voice sounded, and a very cute girl with baby fat walked towards Ouyang Qianran with a bright smile on her face.
"Chu Chu?" That's right, the person who came was Chu Chu, the third-tier female artist who had recorded a variety show with Ouyang Qianran.
Chuchu walked excitedly in front of Ouyang Qianran, and seeing Liang Jianwen sitting next to Ouyang Qianran, she immediately greeted Liang Jianwen, "Hello, Mr. Liang."
"Hello." Liang Jianwen responded with a charming smile. Because of the recent popularity of Ouyang Qianran's street performing video, Liang Jianwen also got to know this cute girl named Chuchu. Before this, Liang Jianwen actually didn't know Chu Chu at all.
Chu Chu was very happy to see Ouyang Qianran. After greeting Liang Jianwen, she stood next to Ouyang Qianran and started chatting with him.
"Second Young Master, I didn't expect to see you here. You are also auditioning for the role in "Empire Overlord", right? What role are you auditioning for?" Chu Chu was just a small artist at the end of the third line. Some people knew her, but not many. This time, thanks to Ouyang Qianran, she became very popular and the number of her fans increased a lot. Therefore, she has received a lot of notices recently, and this time she was able to audition for a role in "Empire Overlord" because of Ouyang Qianran.
Originally, Liang Jianwen also wanted to ask Ouyang Qianran what role he was auditioning for, thinking that if the role Ouyang Qianran was auditioning for happened to be the same role as his own, he would immediately choose to withdraw. Or just change roles. Liang Jianwen did this not only to please his boss Ouyang Qianran, but also because he felt that Ouyang Qianran's acting skills were better than his and he might not be able to get the role from Ouyang Qianran.
Now that Chuchu asked the question, Liang Jianwen was too lazy to speak. But he also pricked up his ears, wanting to hear Ouyang Qianran's answer.
However, it was not just Chuchu and Liang Jianwen who were interested in the role that Ouyang Qianran came to audition for. The artists who had just greeted Ouyang Qianran also cast their eyes over.
Ouyang Qianran certainly noticed it, but he didn't point it out. Instead, he said directly without hiding anything: "Hu Ji..."
"Hu Ji..." Chu Chu exclaimed, but soon she realized that she was a little rude. Seeing that everyone around her was looking at her because of her exclamation, she quickly covered her mouth, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. But soon, the little embarrassment was resolved by the surprise brought by Ouyang Qianran.
"Second Young Master, are you going to audition for the role of Hu Ji?" Chu Chu thought she had misheard at first and asked again uncertainly. Not only her, but even Liang Jianwen thought he was hallucinating.
"That's right." Ouyang Qianran nodded and gave an affirmative answer.
"Si..." Liang Jianwen took a breath, looked at Ouyang Qianran, and said cautiously: "Second Young Master, this role is not easy to play."
Liang Jianwen's words were already tactful. The role of "Hu Ji" is not only difficult to play, it is simply too difficult to play. Even the top few actors in China may not have the confidence to successfully interpret this role. Originally Liang Jianwen thought that Ouyang Qianran was here to audition for the supporting actor role, but he didn't expect that he was actually one of the main characters, Hu Ji.
"I know." Ouyang Qianran knew that Liang Jianwen was reminding him.
"Does the Second Young Master really want to audition for that role? In fact, I think the Second Young Master is more suitable for the role of the National Master." Chu Chu also suggested carefully. Ouyang Qianran is her idol, and she doesn't want to see her Ouyang jump into this fire pit.
Ouyang Qianran raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a half-smile in his eyes, "I like challenges."
Well, Chu Chu and Liang Jianwen are not stupid people. Now that things have come to this, they both know that Ouyang Qianran has made up his mind, so they decide not to persuade him anymore. However, when the actors around heard that Ouyang Qianran was here to audition for the role of "Hu Ji", they were all shocked and somewhat gloating.
A handsome young man in white casual clothes walked up to Ouyang Qianran with a smile, "I didn't expect that we are so predestined. The second young master is also here to audition for the role of Hu Ji."
The handsome young man, named Zhao Xuan, is a first-tier artist in China. He debuted as a child star more than ten years ago. Today he is 30 years old and ranks 19th among the top artists in China, just one place higher than Liang Jianwen. He is an artist of Emperor Entertainment. Although Ouyang Qianran knows him, today is the first time they meet in the true sense.
"Hello." Ouyang Qianran stood up, stretched out his hand and shook hands with him.
Ouyang Qianran was not surprised by this powerful competitor that suddenly appeared. Although the role of Hu Ji is taboo, not all actors would shy away from it. In the face of huge interests, everything else is nothing.
"Empire of Domination" is the first TV series directed and acted by actor Ling. The actors have not been selected yet and the filming has not started yet. However, just because of actor Ling, it has become the new darling of the Internet and has received huge attention. There are many foreign media among them. It is said that many foreign TV stations have revealed the news that they hope to buy the broadcasting rights of this TV series which has not yet started filming.
Anyone with a bit of vision and brains knows that as long as one can play a role in a TV series, even if it is just a small supporting role number five or six, he or she may become famous because of the fame of actor Ling, and even become famous abroad. Therefore, for the sake of fame and to be able to expand overseas, these artists no longer care about so many things.
A TV series becomes popular before it is even aired, and we have already received accurate information that it will be authorized for broadcast overseas. Of course, these artists flock to it. No matter how difficult the role of Hu Ji is, as one of the protagonists, there are many artists who forget everything and are determined to get this role, and Zhao Xuan, who has a pretty face, is one of them.
"As far as I know, besides the two of us, there are many other people here who have the same goal as us for the role of Hu Ji." Zhao Xuan looked meaningfully at the first-line artists not far away.
"Oh, really?" Ouyang Qianran's face was indifferent, and he seemed not interested in Zhao Xuan's words.
Zhao Xuan was now a little embarrassed. He didn't expect Ouyang Qianran to not play according to the rules. His words were so obvious, so why didn't Ouyang Qianran ask any further questions? When you hear that someone is competing with you, don’t you want to know more? Moreover, he had originally planned to let Ouyang Qianran target those people, but it seems that this plan is going to fail.
"Do you have anything else to say?" Ouyang Qianran sat down, looked up at Zhao Xuan who was standing in front of him, and there was a hint of trying to drive him away in his words.
The artists around took everything in, and looked at Zhao Xuan with expressions as if they were watching a good show. Those first-line artists looked at Zhao Xuan with disdain. Everyone actually knew what Zhao Xuan wanted to do. Although his method was not very clever, it might really work if it happened to someone else. What a pity, this person is Ouyang Qianran, a person who doesn’t play by the rules.
Zhao Xuan was suddenly embarrassed. He took the initiative to come over and greet Ouyang Qianran, and was ready to do him a favor. He didn't expect that Ouyang Qianran would not appreciate it, and instead put him in such an embarrassing situation. Seeing Ouyang Qianran looking at him expressionlessly, and then seeing the disdain in Liang Jianwen's eyes beside Ouyang Qianran, Zhao Xuan immediately turned around and left.
Damn it, Ouyang Qianran is so ungrateful. I am a top-tier artist in China and I want to do him a favor, but he doesn't appreciate it and he doesn't even give him any face. It's so hateful. What's so great about that? He just relies on his status as the second young master of the Ouyang Group. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't bother to pay attention to him. Just wait, you won't be able to pass the audition of actor Ling just because you are the young master of some group. The role of 'Hu Ji' requires real ability.
That's right, Zhao Xuan was deliberately approaching Ouyang Qianran, wanting to get closer to him. Of course, he had other purposes. Unfortunately, he was rejected by Ouyang Qianran, so he was a little angry and embarrassed.
"Second Young Master..." Liang Jianwen hesitated to speak as he watched Zhao Xuan turn around and leave.
Ouyang Qianran glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, I know." It was because he knew that Ouyang Qianran was so disrespectful to Zhao Xuan. He hated those who approached him with ulterior motives. Usually, Ouyang Qianran was too lazy to deal with such people.
He Junjun behind him smiled and said to Liang Jianwen: "The Second Young Master is the Second Young Master after all."
Liang Jianwen suddenly realized, and then smiled, "I understand. I wish Second Young Master can get the role he wants."
"Yeah." Ouyang Qianran responded indifferently.
Chu Chu was confused the whole time, looking bewildered, "Second Master, what are you talking about?"
Ouyang Qianran smiled and touched Chuchu's head. "Nothing, the audition is about to begin, get ready."
"Oh oh..." Chu Chu widened her eyes, looking a little dazed. The warm body temperature of the Second Young Master just now seemed to still remain on her head, passing through every strand of her hair and into her body.
What’s wrong? She was touched on the head by the Second Young Master. She was so excited that she didn’t want to wash her hair for a week.
