Zhou Lin was overjoyed. After so many years, Gu Chi finally got a decent role. Gu Chi happened to have some free time recently and could prepare to join the crew after the variety show ended. The timing was just right.
But Director Zhou said that this drama is related to historical themes, and the actor must have a strong sense of belief to play the role of the young general's high spirits and the vicissitudes of life and frustration in middle age.
He wanted to see how good Gu Chi's acting skills were first, so he asked Gu Chi to do an online audition in the live broadcast room. If his acting was acceptable, he would then consider whether Gu Chi could participate in the audition.
What a great opportunity this was! Zhou Lin agreed without thinking too much and happily contacted the director of the variety show and asked Gu Chi to prepare for the audition.
"I'm not going, Brother Zhou."
But Zhou Lin didn't expect that Gu Chi's answer to him was not to go.
In a previous online audition, Gu Chi exposed some of his privacy and his address was leaked. Not only did he not get the role, but his private life was also disturbed and he was exposed by fans online.
After finally getting the role, he was hinted at some unspoken rules when he joined the crew. Everything was disgusting. He was able to get away with it before because he was alone and had no worries, but now he has Xiaoyu with him, and Xiaoyu cannot be hurt because of him.
Zhou Lin asked hurriedly, "Why? This is such a great opportunity! So many award-winning actors and actresses are vying to be in Director Zhou's film, and you're not going?"
Gu Chi lowered his eyes slightly, his eyes clear, "Nothing, I just feel a little tired and want to rest for a while."
Zhou Lin sensed something was amiss in his words. "You're not thinking of quitting, are you?"
"Maybe, perhaps." Gu Chi shrugged and smiled.
When he was young, Gu Chi thought that if he stood at the highest point so that everyone could see him, his parents would definitely come to find him. However, he really stood at the highest point and waited for a long time, but his parents still didn't come. Gu Chi finally figured it out.
Sometimes what you want most is often not available. Maybe his parents don’t miss him very much. Now he is very satisfied with having Xiaoyu. In order to protect Xiaoyu from those vicious attacks, perhaps quitting the circle is the best choice.
Zhou Lin fell silent when he heard this. It had not been easy for Gu Chi to walk on this road over the years, so it was understandable that he wanted to quit the circle, but he had never mentioned it. Now he was only one step away from becoming popular again, but he wanted to quit the circle. Zhou Lin really couldn't understand why?
Zhou Lin continued to persuade him, "But Director Zhou's script is really an excellent one. Gu Chi, why don't you give it a try?"
"Director Zhou?" Gu Chi hesitated subconsciously when he heard the name.
"Yes, it was Director Zhou Jingxiong. He contacted me personally and asked you to prepare for the audition for the role of the second male lead. I heard that Bai Anyu will also be participating in the audition."
Bai Anyu? Hearing this name suddenly, Gu Chi felt as if he had been in another world for many years.
Gu Chi was surprised. He didn't expect that an actor like him would be willing to play a small supporting role.
It just makes sense. Director Zhou Jingxiong has always been known in the industry for his rigorous professionalism and high quality. His works have always been a benchmark in the entertainment industry, and many supporting roles can even win awards.
So many actors are vying to play a role in his movie, even if it is just a supporting role, it is no wonder that Bai Anyu is willing to compete for the role of the second male lead.
Such a big director came to him for an audition, Gu Chi grabbed his hand, could he go for a try?
Xiaoyu sat obediently and listened to her brother talking to Brother Zhou Lin. Although she didn't know what auditions or directors were, Xiaoyu felt that her brother didn't seem very happy.
Xiaoyu also dreamed that her brother finally lost the role. Beibei's brother became very popular after getting the role and became a real movie star. However, her brother became more and more negative and finally disappeared.
No! My brother is so outstanding that he can't disappear!
"Brother, what is an audition and what is a director? Is it the same as what we are doing now?" Xiaoyu tilted her head and asked with interest.
Gu Chi nodded and continued with what Xiaotuanzi said, "Well, that's about right. Just put us into a big machine so that the audience can see us in front of the TV."
"What is that role?"
Little Tuanzi was small and had a lot of questions. Gu Chi was very patient. "The role is the person we need to play."
"Then what role will brother play?" Xiaoyu nodded, not quite understanding.
"General."
When Xiaotuanzi heard this, his eyes immediately lit up. "Wow! That sounds amazing! Grandpa Dashu told Xiaoyu that the general is the most powerful person in the world. He can drive away all the bad guys and protect our home."
Gu Chi nodded, "Yes, the general is a very powerful person."
"But Xiaoyu has never seen the general before. Brother, can you perform for Xiaoyu? He must be so handsome." Xiaoyu looked at Gu Chi eagerly, looking very expectant.
Gu Chi forgot that Xiaoyu is his number one fan. In Xiaoyu's eyes, no matter what he does, Xiaoyu will support him unconditionally.
Whenever Xiaoyu saw this expectant look in Gu Chi's eyes, he knew he had no resistance and agreed without hesitation, "Okay."
Xiaoyu immediately ran towards the small house, "Then I'll go get my brother the little wooden sword. A general must have a sword!"
Gu Chi curled his lips slightly, and a hint of warmth emerged imperceptibly in his indifferent eyes. He treated the little wooden sword he made for her like a treasure every day, but he didn't expect that she would be willing to use it as a prop for him now.
He looked at the script sent by Zhou Lin, took a deep breath and decided to give it a try.
There was a high probability that he would not be selected, but he was very happy to have fulfilled Xiaotuanzi's wish.
At this time, the barrage in the live broadcast room seemed to be exploding, and everyone started arguing with each other.
[Gu Chi plays the second male lead in director Zhou Jingxiong's film? Is there no one left in the entertainment industry? Did he hook up with some wealthy sponsor and get into the production?]
Is Zhou Jingxiong also going to bow down to capital? Gu Chi's acting is probably ruining this drama.
Director Zhou could have just officially announced Gu Chi, but he had to go through with this audition to fool us. Thank you for your hard work.
[Yue, even though Xiaoyu is really cute, it can't offset my doubts about Gu Chi's acting skills. Don't you remember that time when Gu Chi hit the actress on the set?]
Gu Chi took a look at the noise in the live broadcast room and frowned tightly. Since it was already night, he simply closed the live broadcast room. Out of sight, out of mind.
At this moment, he only wanted to perform for Xiaoyu alone. As for Director Zhou, he would have an online audition with Director Zhou later. Auditioning in front of a live broadcast room was too risky and would easily affect his emotions and make it difficult to get into the role.
The noisy audience in the live broadcast room became even more angry when they saw the live broadcast was suddenly cut off, and they rushed directly to Gu Chi’s Weibo and started cursing.
[Is Gu Chi feeling guilty? ]
If you can't convince us, we'll shut down the livestream. The incident with the actress who beat him up and went on strike hasn't been resolved yet, and now they're still making such a fuss.
[I heard that Gu Chi stole the role from someone else. Originally, this role was tailor-made for Qin Xun, but now it has been snatched up by Gu Chi.]
[Director Zhou Jingxiong, you're confused! Qin Xun's acting skills and reputation are much better than Gu Chi's. Do you know any koi artists?]
Now that Qin Xun's role was snatched away by Gu Chi, the fans immediately became restless. A large number of fans attacked him and swarmed into Gu Chi's Weibo, cursing him with all kinds of obscene words.
[No wonder he's an orphan. If I had a son like him, I wouldn't want him.]
[Can Gu Chi please stay away from our brother? He's been riding on our brother's popularity for a while now, and now he's trying to steal our brother's role. How disgusting.]
[I heard that Gu Chi was an ungrateful person in the orphanage. After he became famous, he never went back. It's really disgusting.]
The fans of Gu Chi’s anti-black group are almost mad with anger, but now even if they send out screenshots of Gu Chi donating tens of millions, they will be accused of photoshopping. These black fans have no bottom line when they go crazy.
It takes only one mouth to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of effort to refute them. Now they can only watch Gu Chi being slandered and have no way to do anything. They can only use their meager strength to debate with them.
[Xingyi's livestream is still online. He's hanging out with Gu Chi right now. Hurry up and rush over! We'd be sorry to our brother if we don't rush Gu Chi down today.]
I don’t know who suddenly said this on Weibo, but Qin Xun’s fans immediately shifted their focus from Weibo and flocked to Xingyi’s live broadcast room.
But as soon as everyone entered, they were immediately attracted by the scene in front of them: simple costumes, crude props, and the pony was actually made of a piece of wood. It didn't look like a grand struggle scene at all, but Gu Chi still acted seriously.
He regarded the grass as the soldiers who died tragically, and the leaves scattered by the wind as the white snow falling from the sky.
In the third year of Lin'an, the young general was thirteen years old. He followed his father and brother to the expedition to Mobei. The battle between the two armies was at a stalemate. The food and grass were cut off. Finally, the general was forced into a desperate situation. More than half of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers were killed or wounded.
Finally, his father and brother decided to fight a desperate battle, but in that battle, the thirteen-year-old general lost his home, his father and brother.
He was the only one who struggled to survive from the pile of corpses in the army of tens of thousands. This was a blood debt. With tears in his eyes, he looked at the innocent soldiers who died tragically and his father and brothers who had their heads cut off. He spat a mouthful of blood on the white snow, the red was dazzling.
For the first time, the young general understood what power struggles and the court were, and for the first time, hatred filled his bright and fiery eyes.
The carefree young general grew up overnight. He went deep into the enemy camp alone, took the bandit's head, and returned to the battlefield with the heads of his father and brother. The white snow almost buried the bodies of all the soldiers. The young general sat there alone for a night, and the next day he rode his beloved Ferghana horse back to the capital.
This time, the young general returned with hatred and the depths of the sea of blood. What he wanted to do was to disrupt the court and avenge the tens of thousands of soldiers who died in Mobei.
This was originally a very difficult eye scene to grasp, but unexpectedly, Gu Chi's eyes did not change much, but he portrayed the hatred and darkness in great detail. The audience was deeply attracted by the sadness in his eyes at just one glance.
From his eyes, they could see that a treacherous general was about to step into the center of political power, disrupt the situation there, and become a living devil that everyone in the court feared.
Gu Chi made this character come alive with his superb acting skills, and the audience in the live broadcast room who had been cursing just now could only shut their mouths obediently.
【I actually cried! 】
[Oh my god! Gu Chi turns twenty today. I didn't expect him to look so natural playing a teenager. His eye acting is simply amazing.]
[I think it's just average...and the lack of props in this scene is really lame.]
[I still think Qin Xun is more suitable. After all, Qin Xun has a much better reputation.]
"Wow! Brother Xiaoyu, your acting was fantastic. Have you ever learned martial arts?"
"I think so too. That was so cool. He was able to kill the bad guys in just a few moves and avenge his father and brother!"
Gu Chi was originally worried that the little kids didn't understand, but he didn't expect that they were the first to understand. They were not afraid at all and began to imitate his performance with great interest.
"Brother, your performance just now was really great. Xiaoyu thinks the director will definitely invite you to act in a play." Xiaoyu also looked at Gu Chi with admiration.
Gu Chi curled the corners of his lips. He hadn't even sent the video to the director yet, but the little guy knew that he would definitely be chosen by the director. In the eyes of the number one fan, he might be omnipotent.
He nodded as well, smiled happily, and said, "I will."
Unexpectedly, the next second Gu Chi received another call from his agent. He took a look and was about to go find him, but he didn't expect him to come to him first.
Zhou Lin's voice was so excited that it almost deafened Gu Chi's eardrums. "Gu Chi! Director Zhou Jingxiong just watched the live broadcast. He invited you to a live audition in three days!"
What live broadcast? Didn’t he already shut it down? And is Xiaoyu’s mouth really blessed?
After Zhou Lin had been talking to Gu Chi for a long time, he realized that Xing Yi had not turned off the live broadcast when he came to play, and his performance was broadcasted in full without missing a second. Director Zhou Jingxiong also became a member of the group, and after watching the live broadcast, he went straight to him.
Gu Chi was specifically selected to participate in the audition for the second male lead in the movie. In Director Zhou's words, Gu Chi was like a natural two-faced old man who was good at strategizing, and the changes in his eyes made him look very wicked.
Although this is not a good word, Gu Chi's acting skills have indeed been recognized by Director Zhou. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as he gets this role, Gu Chi's star journey may not be so difficult.
"Qin Xun will also be attending auditions in the next two days, and Su Yu also has some work to do. The production team also said that they will let you go off the island for auditions tomorrow, and then return to the island for the variety show recording in a few days."
Zhou Lin had arranged everything early on and just had to wait for Gu Chi to leave the island.
"Okay, no problem."
Gu Chi likes this role and this time he wants to give it his best.
