When I passed by the waiting area for the auditioned artists, I saw Wan Lei sitting there, looking angry and crazy, while her agent was trying to coax her in a gentle voice.

Director Hu asked curiously, "What's going on?"

The staff member who was present just now answered the question - repeating it word for word.

After listening, Director Hu raised his eyebrows and immediately glanced at the quiet figure in the crowd, finding it interesting.

He had worked with Wan Lei on a play. This girl had been spoiled by her family since she was a child and had basically never suffered any hardship. She didn't really know how to control her temper, but she was indeed a talented talent. Director Hu was aware of this, but he had always seen Wan Lei throwing tantrums to annoy others. It was rare to see her being irritated by anyone like that.

Director Hu laughed and shook his head. When he was about to look away, he found that the man with silver-gray eyes next to him was looking in the same direction and at the same figure as him, with calm eyes.

Don’t you know him?

Director Hu wondered.

——In the second round of auditions, Xu Lizhi was once again pulled over by Director Hu. He thought he would need to spend some time talking, but unexpectedly, the other party did not hesitate and answered very readily.

* Although she was angry, when the audition officially started, Wan Lei quickly adjusted her state of mind. She did have some real skills, otherwise, with her personality, she would not have been able to stay in the entertainment industry forever, and there would not have been small exclamations from the crowd as soon as she appeared on the day of the audition.

The female artists who advanced to the second round of auditions all received USB flash drives. Many of them didn’t understand at the time what it meant to be asked to watch a bunch of game NPC videos, but now they understand everything.

Under the awning.

Director Hu held the loudspeaker and signaled Wan Lei, who was the first to audition, to choose a martial arts clip from the NPC recording and demonstrate it on the spot. There was a martial arts instructor giving simple instructions, but it was only to the extent of assisting. The rest was up to her on her own. Director Hu was not idle and specially set aside five days for them to just watch a video clip.

Wan Lei, with the wire safety rope fastened on her, was slowly pulled into the air.

"start!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Wan Lei suddenly seemed like a different person. Her eyes were firm, her posture was well-controlled, and with the help of her martial arts instructor, she demonstrated the part she selected on the spot. Her movements were smooth and effortless, without any drag.

As expected, Director Hu looked at Wan Lei with admiration in his eyes and tilted his head to whisper a few words to the person next to him.

After getting down from the wire, Wan Lei returned to her proud and complacent look. At the same time, she gave Sheng Yuan who was not far away a smug look, with the words "Are you nervous or scared? It's not too late to leave now" written all over her face.

Wan Lei didn't know whether Sheng Yuan was nervous or afraid, because Sheng Yuan didn't even look at her.

But the female artists who auditioned after Wan Lei were really nervous. Their bodies were tense, uncoordinated, stiff, and flustered. Every time one of them passed, Director Hu would lower his head and take a pen to make a mark on his data card. It seems that a large number of people will be eliminated in this second round of auditions.

This made the atmosphere depressed, and there seemed to be a sense of urgency that everyone was in danger.

Finally, it was Sheng Yuan's turn.

Wan Lei's audition was over. Logically, she could have left long ago, but she didn't. Instead, she sat under the awning to "watch" under the pretext of learning.

* Today is a cloudy day. There is no dazzling and scorching sunlight, but the sky covered by layers of clouds does not appear dim at all. There is a faint breeze, and the cool air enters.

Director Hu looked up in surprise: "Sheng Yuan, are you sure you want to choose this clip?"

——It’s a very difficult part.

If I remember correctly, she was someone who had just started working with wire acting. Director Hu was of course surprised, so he asked with doubt.

Then he got Sheng Yuan's affirmative answer.

Director Hu looked at her for a long time and nodded.

For convenience, Sheng Yuan wore a sports suit and tied her hair into a bun at the back of her head, revealing a beautiful fair face. The staff was helping her fasten the safety buckle. She half-closed her long eyelashes, her eyes were dull, and no one knew what she was thinking.

As per convention, a martial arts instructor will briefly explain and demonstrate the movements.

Wan Lei, who was sitting in the back, also let out a half-smile and stared straight at Sheng Yuan, as if she was certain that she would see someone who overestimated his own abilities making a fool of himself later.

“…”

Director Hu raised his hand and made a gesture to start.

The scene gradually became quiet.

Unlike Wan Lei, the clip chosen by Sheng Yuan was not in the air at the beginning like most people, but on the ground.

With a "start" sound, the wire tied behind Sheng Yuan was instantly tightened. With a pull, the girl leaned back, her slender arms stretched out and swayed naturally in a circle, her feet moving smoothly as only the toes lightly touched the ground.

Then, the rope buckles on both sides of her waist suddenly stood up. The moment she rose into the air, the girl used the force to turn around neatly and did a spiral turn in the air.

At the same time, the wire is still pulling up continuously, which can test people's ability to control their fear of heights and the speed of their temporary reaction.

When she reached the highest height, everyone saw Sheng Yuan spread her legs and used a straight and standard split to stabilize the inertia force brought to her body by the rotation. Her movements were neat and beautiful.

The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, her profile looked bold and unrestrained, and her limbs were soft yet tough.

This scene seemed to be frozen in time, making everyone seem to be able to see the non-existent flying skirt.

The faster the wire rises, the faster it falls.

After both feet landed safely on the ground, only one and a half minutes had passed.

Sheng Yuan was half-kneeling on the ground, breathing heavily, and his palms were sweaty.

It was not easy for her to achieve this one and a half minutes, and it was even more difficult to achieve this one and a half minutes.

“…”

After she calmed down, Sheng Yuan found that the surroundings were very quiet. She looked up and stood up. Director Hu was looking at her with a look that seemed as if he had discovered a surprise and his eyes lit up.

He said with a smile: "Sheng Yuan, you have made great progress."

Sheng Yuan: "I found a very good teacher these two days."

As soon as he finished speaking, the martial arts instructor of the crew beside him looked at him in surprise: "You mean, you only practiced for these five days???"

Wan Lei, who was sitting over there, also widened her eyes in disbelief.

Sheng Yuan nodded.

The martial arts instructor's eyes became appreciative and he said, "Come on, little girl."

The future is limitless. Although it has not reached the exaggerated level of 100% perfect replication, at this speed, it is only a matter of time.

Director Hu's expression was very gentle: "Go and have a good rest first."

Sheng Yuan responded politely, turned around and let out a breath.

Who understands? I wrote it for a whole day but didn’t finish it.

I broke my promise, I am guilty! I will atone for my sins, so go to the comment section and pick two new comments to drink Luckin Coffee (discounted 18 per cup). 　　Good night.
