She didn't know much about Yu Yao; her only contact with her was in the first episode of the children's reality show "Flip-Flops".
It seems he even handed me a scallop.
Out of politeness, Xu Zhaozhao nodded to him as a greeting.
She dared not act presumptuously in front of the major producers.
Under Yan Jie's encouragement, Xu Zhaozhao became a super fast surfer on Weibo.
I had heard a little about Yu Yao's deeds, which could be described as "legendary".
Four years ago, 18-year-old Yu Yao stood out in an overseas talent show. She was an all-around AcE (Actress E) abroad and was also the center of the group.
His youthful charm and striking good looks, rare in Asia, quickly made him a sensation at major plastic surgery hospitals.
With his outstanding skills and attractive looks, Yu Yao has become a sensation abroad, but he is still relatively unknown in China.
Because of this incident, Yu Yao is often labeled as "unpatriotic".
However, his announcement three months ago that he was returning to China to develop his career directly slapped those people in the face.
With both talent and good looks, it's only a matter of time before she becomes famous in the Chinese entertainment industry.
Xu Zhaozhao was somewhat puzzled.
But... isn't he an idol? How come I saw him at the audition?
Xu Zhaozhao stood in her place and watched as the girl went to the door and called other auditionees with different numbers.
Five women were called in total. They waited on stage, enduring the sharp gazes of the producers in the audience.
Xu Zhaozhao was actually a little nervous, but she was good at acting, and on the surface she remained calm and composed.
The words "Director-in-Chief Luo Wen" are displayed in the very center.
She had short, neat hair, an expressionless face, and sharp eyes that made you feel like you were being stared at by an eagle, sending chills down your spine.
She instructed the staff to set up a separate seat for Yu Yao, and when she spoke to people, she did not show any extra expression on her face, appearing indifferent and decisive.
Xu Zhaozhao kept her head down, looking at her number plate, unaware that the director's gaze kept sweeping over her, intentionally or unintentionally.
Hello.
Luo Wen took a megaphone, and her low, serious voice came through the speaker, making everyone even more nervous.
Don't ask Xu Zhaozhao how she knew.
She noticed the goosebumps that instantly rose on the faces of the auditionees next to her.
"As we agreed before, I'll give you a chance to audition for the female lead."
Ignoring their reactions, Luo Wen's voice continued, "Whoever acts well will be the female lead."
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhaozhao finally looked up and met Luo Wen's gaze, which had been fixed on her.
She was taken aback, but showed no fear; instead, she smiled sweetly at her.
It turns out this was originally the audition for the second female lead, and she had already been chosen as the female lead, but it was temporarily changed to the audition for the female lead.
The auditionees next to him were visibly excited.
"Thank you, director!"
"Thank you, Director! We will definitely do our best!"
...
Not only is there competition to play the lead role, but there's also competition to audition for the lead role. Producers only have so much energy; they can't possibly let everyone who wants to audition get the chance.
This is such a waste of a producer.
So she got the audition opportunity for the lead role, and the actors around her were all very excited.
Xu Zhaozhao did not speak.
Whether it was Xu Zhaozhao's smile that Luo Wen perceived as a provocation, her expression darkened, and she looked as if a storm was brewing.
"The rules are: five minutes to read the script, then go on stage to act according to the number, with a three-minute time limit."
She briefly explained the rules, then put down her megaphone and, together with the other producers, opened the list on the table.
Staff members brought five scripts onto the stage and distributed them to the five people in turn, reminding them: "You can talk about it, but you will have to collect the scripts in five minutes."
As soon as Xu Zhaozhao opened the cover, the four people next to her seemed to be glued together as if they had magnets attached to them.
"Hey, it's an excerpt from the script of 'Crossing the River Moon'."
"It's a bit difficult to act out a two-person script by yourself without any props."
"The audition for the female lead was indeed quite different."
...
The first few sentences were all quite normal, discussing the script they had just received.
Xu Zhaozhao didn't want to listen to their pointless discussion, and was just about to use selective filtering when some sensitive words entered her ears.
"I was just about to ask, was that Xu Zhaozhao?"
"Who else could it be but her? Such a beautiful face has been trending on social media for two or three months now."
"This piece of trash dares to compete for the lead role? Does she think she can do whatever she wants just because she has a few stinking bucks?"
"Fortunately, Director Luo Wen is known for valuing talent, otherwise our acting industry would be ruined by these capitalists."
...
Hey sis, we're less than 30cm apart, can you please stop whispering your secrets?
Xu Zhaozhao was also convinced.
In just five minutes, these people not only didn't look at the script, but also had the leisure to discuss her...
Are all the actors in this world so good at short-term memory?
The script wasn't long, but memorizing it and capturing the emotions within five minutes was still quite challenging for Xu Zhaozhao.
He moved quickly away from those people, focusing intently on the script in front of him.
bite!
The piercing warning sounded, and Xu Zhaozhao realized why those people weren't panicking.
The staff took away her script and "invited" the four people off the stage, still holding their scripts.
It turns out they only accept her scripts...
This means that during her performance, those people can still read the script.
Being number one is the one who suffers the most.
"Still acting high and mighty. He gets upset when I say a few honest words. What an ego."
"Just be a piece of trash, don't make me wait a few more minutes and waste my time."
"I want to see how badly she performs."
...
The four of them continued discussing her as they walked off the stage, their voices quite loud.
Those present turned a blind eye to it, or rather, they thought so too.
Xu Zhaozhao watched all of this calmly from the stage, her eyes completely unmoved.
She's experienced more unfairness at auditions than she's ever seen it, so she's used to it.
She stood back in the center of the stage, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes looking at Luo Wen, still smiling, "I'm ready, Director."
Luo Wen gave her a deep look, and then turned her gaze to Yu Yao, who was sitting to the side.
He understood, stood up, and walked onto the stage, standing next to Xu Zhaozhao.
She bowed slightly and said, "Sister Zhao Zhao, it's an honor to be your acting partner today."
oh.
When Xu Zhaozhao was reading the script, she thought she was going to imagine a second male lead today, but it turns out the second male lead had already arrived on set.
As if worried that Xu Zhaozhao might have concerns, Yu Yao added, "I will also act alongside other actors who audition."
Xu Zhaozhao was about to reply.
The director's slightly angry words echoed in the empty audition room, "Aren't you going to start? It's already dawn!"
