Chapter 104

About a few minutes later, Bai Gaoxing walked out of the bathroom.

He took off the mask he had been wearing for a long time and the glasses that were pressing his nose so hard that it made him feel a little tired. He raised his eyes and suddenly froze in place.

I didn't think anything was wrong when I followed Li Pho before, but now I see from a distance that the audition site is almost full of tall foreigners, especially men, whether they are young or younger, standing there, each of them is like a sturdy telephone pole. In particular, most of them are wearing dark suits, with a strong aura, full of oppression.

In comparison, he was the only weak, pitiful and helpless short man among the many telephone poles.

This scene was so shocking. Bai Gaoxing sighed as he shuttled through the crowd, trying to find the corner between the shadows. However, he was a little confused about the direction, and even after turning around twice, he still couldn't find where Li Pu was sitting.

At this time, he had already discovered that someone was watching him and whispering.

Bai Gaoxing tilted his head as calmly as possible. He didn't want to attract anyone's attention when he was outside, so he nervously tried to slip through the aisle.

But the next second, he was stopped by two men and one woman.

"Hey, are you here for an audition too?" the chocolate-skinned man asked.

Is it... Italian? Bai Gaoxing was stunned for a moment, and his brain began to automatically analyze it.

He raised his head, only to see the three people in front of him showing expressions of great surprise, and taking a breath in an exaggerated manner.

"……?"

Perhaps his puzzled look made it seem like he didn't understand, so before he could answer, the woman with short blond hair asked him again in English with a friendly smile.

Bai Gaoxing was a little surprised. He couldn't understand why they thought he was an actor who came to audition. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Chocolate winking at another man and saying, "See, he's really suitable."

Suitable? Suitable for what?

Bai Gaoxing is unknown

But I also politely replied in English: "Sorry, I'm not here for an audition, I'm just an assistant."

The three of them were obviously stunned. Chocolate said in surprise: "Really? I thought——"

I thought...

The three of them looked at each other and realized that their reasons were actually not sufficient.

With just a casual glance, they spotted the boy standing by the window. The faint sunlight shining on him gave him an inexplicable sense of purity and tranquility. There were so many people in the venue, but the boy seemed to be the brightest and most active part of the painting, particularly attracting people's attention.

After seeing each other's faces, they were even more shocked by the clear eyes and cute face.

Exactly the same as the "Noah" described in the script.

However, they were surprised to find that the boy was not an actor who came for an audition.

All three of them couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and then responded to the looks from all around. In fact, many people noticed this young man - after all, everyone who came here could become a partner in a movie, so it was important to look around to see if there were any opponents or partners in mind.

Now, they may be regretting it. But the people who auditioned Noah will probably be happy.

"Why are you still here?"

Suddenly, Bai Gaoxing felt a hand on his shoulder, and then a figure walked in front of him.

It's Li Pho.

The man was asking him, but his eyes were on the three people in front of him.

Bai Gaoxing was stunned for a moment, feeling relieved and a little surprised, and replied: "It seems that they had something to do with me and were delayed." He paused and whispered: "And... I didn't find you just now."

Bai Gaoxing looked back and found that the corner where he had just been appeared in the dispersing crowd. Mei Youshu was standing there, looking straight at them.

It’s like... Li Pu came to see him on purpose?

While he was in a daze, Li Pu had already exchanged a few words with the three men, and received three embarrassed smiles. Then, Li Pu turned around and patted his back, "Go back."

"Oh..." Bai Gaoxing nodded blankly, put on the mask and glasses again, and followed Li Pu back. In the middle, he couldn't help but look back and found that the three people were waving at him happily.

After returning to his original position, Mei Youshu, who came forward, breathed a sigh of relief, "Seeing that you didn't come back for a long time, Brother Li and I were almost scared to death."

Especially after he discovered that the young man was surrounded by three tall and strong foreigners, he saw Li Pho immediately put away his mobile phone and walked over there.

Bai Gaoxing didn't notice Li Pu's expression and said with emotion: "I didn't expect the venue to be so big... and there are too many people."

After saying that, he gave a comforting smile, "Don't worry, I won't get lost."

Li Pho did not comment on this and opened the script again.

"Then... you should be more careful next time." Mei Youshu looked at Bai Gaoxing, then at Li Pu, said this, and then closed his mouth quietly.

When the time came, the audition began.

As a staff member called out their names, the actors began to walk into a room not far away - the director and screenwriter were waiting inside.

Sometimes it was one person, sometimes two, but without exception, they added to the tense atmosphere. The crowd suddenly became quiet, leaving only chaotic footsteps and occasional sighs.

Not long after, someone came out.

Most of them walked out the door sighing, and judging from their expressions, they were not selected; sometimes some would come out happily, but they didn't seem to care much.

It feels...not as easy as imagined.

Bai Gaoxing swallowed his saliva, revealing a trace of heartache.

Lei Li noticed his mood and comforted him, "Don't worry, if there is no problem, the chances of success in the audition are very high."

Then Bai Gaoxing heard that when director Frank received Li Pu's first audition, he showed great interest in him and wanted to work with him.

"Among these candidates with black hair and black eyes, the only one who works in Bubble Entertainment is more competitive." Lei Li raised her head and indicated.

Bai Gaoxing followed her gaze and saw the mixed-race man with a gloomy face.

What's it called?

"Park Jiahui debuted as a child star. He is very popular in China and his acting skills are also OK." Lei Li briefly introduced this person, "But..."

Her eyes grew darker.

"But what?" Bai Gaoxing asked curiously.

Lei Li looked at the boy's innocent eyes, rubbed his head, and said jokingly: "Children don't need to know so much."

It seemed to be some industry secret. Bai Gaoxing touched his nose and suppressed his curiosity.

Soon, Li Pho was called for the audition.

Just when Bai Gaoxing wanted to say a few words to cheer him up, the staff member called out another person.

It is Park Jiahui.

I don’t know whether it was luck or misfortune, but this time we were in a group of two.

Not far away, a tall man stood up slowly, his eyes full of provocation, then he raised his eyebrows and a gentle smile appeared on his lips.

Lei Li frowned slightly, said "Be careful" to Li Pu, and watched him walk towards the audition room.

Bai Gaoxing watched Li Pu walking further and further away. Pu Jiahui was still waiting for him with a smile, but finally he turned around and only the backs of the two were left in his sight.

…

In the audition room, director Frank was arguing fiercely with the screenwriter.

"Okay, my dear, I know you are very sensitive about this, but you have seen more than 200 'Noahs' in the last audition, plus this time... oh, there are 120 this time. You have to choose one, right?"

"I've said it many times, 'Noah', I have to find the right person!"

"Just based on your request...ah, are you going to leave the role of Noah vacant? Are those beautiful young men just now not suitable? And there are so many beautiful girls!"

"No, no! Didn't you see the group of people just now? They are all big and strong. If they take off their clothes and hug each other, their chest muscles will suffocate people to death! As for the girls... there are two or three good candidates, but I still want to use boys."

"You are so willful. At this rate, we may not be able to start filming next year!"

"Who cares? Even if Noah only lives in my memories, I don't want to choose one to rape my eyes!"

“…”

When Li Pu pushed the door open and walked in, he saw the bearded director with blond hair in a small braid glaring at the brown-haired woman next to him. The others sat aside, indifferent, as if they were used to it.

Seeing them coming, the two of them quickly changed their expressions and smiled: "Okay, welcome."

Frank was deeply impressed by these two Chinese actors, because after watching so many eye-irritating performance clips, he was finally baptized by both their looks and acting skills.

If nothing unexpected happens, the second male lead, the role of "Adonis", will be chosen from these two.

"OK, let's get to the point." Frank switched to English. "Both of you performed very well, so this time, I want to see your improvisation."

The blond-haired, blue-eyed director gazed at the two with extreme inquiry and expectation, "Adonis is a tragic character. His ending is the opposite of the male protagonist, but on the spiritual level, he surpasses the male protagonist and never regrets anything he has done."

"And emotionally, there are only regrets," the screenwriter added.

Frank smiled. "Now, what I want you to perform is--"

…

In the lobby, Bai Gaoxing sat on a chair, swinging his legs idly to kill time.

More than half an hour had passed since Li Pu entered the room, which was completely different from the other people who walked out in five or ten minutes. He didn't even have the heart to play with his phone.

Looks like it's possible?

But Park Jiahui didn't come out either. Could it be that he was in a difficult situation...? Bai Gaoxing was thinking wildly, taking the macaron that Mei Youshu bought for him outside and taking a big bite.

...So sweet!

Bai Gaoxing's face wrinkled into a ball. Out of the corner of his eye he saw the door of a room in the distance open and Li Pho walked out.

Lei Li and Mei Youshu turned their heads to look at that direction at the same time, and he had already stood up from his seat and trotted to Li Pu's side.

"How is it?" Bai Gaoxing stretched his head to look towards the room, but could not see anything except a corner of a prop chair vaguely visible.

The door was then closed from the inside by staff.

"It went very smoothly." Li Pho replied as he walked and touched his head.

Lei Li understood now, and a smile appeared in her eyes, but it was soon replaced by doubt, "Then, why is Park Jiahui still in there?"$$

Li Pu shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Bai Gaoxing didn't care about that person. Just passing the audition was worth celebrating! So he put his arm around the man's shoulders, but because of his height limit, he put his arm around him instead. "Then, let's go have a big meal?"

Meanwhile, Frank in the audition room gave Park Jiahui a friendly smile and said, "Although Adonis has been chosen, I have a role that I think is very suitable for you."

He seemed to feel sorry for the handsome man's failure to win the election. "Your performance was also outstanding, but I still prefer the feeling brought by Mr. Li's performance."

"So, are you willing to try other roles?"

Park Jiahui smiled, and no one saw his tightly clenched left hand.

"Of course, sir. My pleasure."

…

Because I passed the audition efficiently, the trip to Country F ended after a big meal.

It had been drizzling here, so they didn't stay too long and cancelled their plans to travel around Country F, choosing to return home that night.

On the plane back home, Bai Gaoxing was savoring foie gras, cheese and baked snails, and he snuggled up to Li Pho and had a sweet dream of eating to his heart's content.

After a night of sailing, they arrived at Jiangcheng Airport at dawn.

Bai Gaoxing took off his blindfold, yawned, and stared blankly at the scenery outside the window for a while before rubbing his eyes, standing up, and preparing to follow Li Pu downstairs.

But just as they were about to step out of the first-class cabin, Lei Li suddenly raised her hand and stopped them.

"Li Pho," she said, "I didn't tell you before because I was afraid it would affect your audition."

Mei Youshu nodded in agreement.

Lei Li silently raised her phone and flipped through the hot searches in the country from a day ago.

Bai Gaoxing suddenly widened his eyes, and all his sleepiness disappeared - above was a photo of him and Li Pu boarding the plane.

When!??

He looked at Li Pu in disbelief, and felt a headache for the news that he had neglected because he hadn't surfed the Internet for a day.

So what is the situation now?

All fans, and even more people, know that a stranger appeared next to Li Pho?

And he’s a mysterious person who suddenly appeared and about whom no information can be found?

Bai Gaoxing couldn't help but shudder.

Seeing Li Pu's equally stunned expression, Lei Li coughed softly and said seriously:

"So, before you get off the plane, do you want to think about how to explain it to your fans?"
