"Come on, boss." Yang Xiaoli watched Yan Mofei go in, while he leaned on the car window and complained to Lao Song.
"Did you see that, Old Song? That guy is so narcissistic. The role chosen by the boss is, of course, the boss's. How could it possibly be someone else's?"
"The boss is the best."
"Old Song, what do you think we're going to do to celebrate when the boss comes out? Should we have Chinese food or Western food? I haven't had hot pot in a while, and I kind of miss it."
"No, it's a bit hot out here. Will hot pot make me get a sore throat? I need to prepare something to cool me down. How about some herbal tea? I just made some. Lao Song, why don't you try it?"
"Hand!" Old Song smiled and lifted Yang Xiaoli's hand away from the car window, then silently raised the window.
Oh, how come the boss fell for this noisy kid? After she became the boss's wife, he didn't dare to be too harsh or ignore her.
If it were in the past, he would have just closed the window without saying a word.
You shouldn't try to persuade him by deducting his salary and bonus, right?
Old Song felt a chill run down his spine, feeling like he was walking on thin ice. He quickly pulled out his phone to video chat with his wife, listening to her talk and occasionally chiming in.
Yang Xiaoli's head suddenly popped out from behind Lao Song: "Hi, hello sister-in-law."
Then the phone was taken away by Yang Xiaoli, who happily started chatting with Lao Song's wife. The two women chattered away, with endless things to say and talk about.
Old Song sighed, got out of the car and sat on the side of the road to count the leaves, looking quite desolate.
In addition to Yan Mofei and Rong Rong, there are six other people auditioning for the male lead, including two second-tier actors, two first-tier actors, one super first-tier actor, and one newcomer.
Seeing Rong Rong, a top star, coming here, several people instantly became depressed.
Logically speaking, the top stars are the ones who choose the scripts, and they can get any role they want with just one word. There is no need to audition at all.
At first they thought Rong Rong was here to be the audition judge, but he ended up sitting among the auditioners.
That's outrageous.
"With Rong Rong here, what else do we have to do?"
"When we notified them of the audition, they didn't say any top stars would be participating."
"I'm afraid today's trip was a waste. I practiced in front of the mirror for so long yesterday."
Even those top-tier stars feel panicked.
Even if a top-tier drama flopped, its traffic was unmatched by any other show. When it came to making money, they were unrivaled. They could also attract additional investment, turning a low-budget show into a high-budget blockbuster.
The new actor sitting at the back was sizing up Yan Mofei, the youngest son of the Gu family. He had joined the Gu family because he found the entertainment industry fun. With two older brothers protecting him, he had been carefree since childhood, always curious about everything.
The script for this TV show was not originally intended for a newcomer like him, but when he saw it, he said he wanted to give it a try. His agent then contacted the crew and asked him to come in for an audition.
He sat obediently in the back, imitating the stars in front of him. Suddenly, he felt someone sitting next to him, so he turned around to look.
He was stunned at the sight of her. It was the first time he had seen someone more handsome than his own brother.
Up close, Yan Mofei is so handsome he's almost embarrassing. It's not just his impeccable face, but his demeanor and aura that make him look incredibly elegant even in simple casual clothes.
"Hello, my name is Gu Chengping, nice to meet you."
He was protected too well and didn't need to pay attention to anything since he was a child. Therefore, even though Yan Mofei had been on the hot search so many times, Gu Chengping didn't recognize him.
Yan Mofei had sensed this gaze early on, pure curiosity, surprise, and a clear look in his eyes, which showed that he was a newcomer who was inexperienced in the world.
He was wearing branded clothes, showing that his family was wealthy.
"Yan Mofei, are you here to audition for the male lead as well?"
Gu Chengping nodded: "Yes, I think the role of the beggar is very good. I want to be a beggar."
His words caused a burst of laughter, and Gu Chengping was a little confused. He was used to having money, so what was wrong with him wanting to try playing a beggar?
Yan Mofei also smiled. Gu Chengping was only about twenty years old, with a baby face, which made him look even younger.
"Actually, the male lead role isn't suitable for you. It requires too many layers of performance. You could try the second male lead role, if that role hasn't been confirmed yet."
Gu Chengping asked doubtfully, "Really? Am I suitable for the second male lead?"
"Well, in addition to the role of the second male lead, there is also a role of a little beggar that is also suitable for you."
Gu Chengping immediately took out the script, his eyes sparkling: "I really want to play the role of a beggar. Which one do you think is suitable for me?"
Yan Mofei pointed to a name: "This one."
The role he was referring to was very suitable for Gu Chengping, a nobleman who was naive to the ways of the world. Because his fiancée said she didn't like people who were always condescending, he took the initiative to go out and experience the suffering of the people. As a result, because of his naivety, he was cheated of his money, stripped of his clothes, and beaten.
After suffering so much injustice, the male protagonist felt pity for him and gave him a copper coin from his bowl. The young man tasted the steamed bun extremely deliciously for the first time.
He cried and begged the bishop to teach him to be a beggar.
Afterwards, the male lead helped the male second rise, and the noble son also contributed a bit. He is considered the fifth male role.
Gu Chengping's eyes lit up: "Why didn't I see this role before? It's perfect for me!"
He laughed heartily and said, "Then I won't audition for the male lead role. I want to play this one!"
As he was about to rush in and tell the director and others that he wanted to change roles, he was held back by Yan Mofei.
"Don't worry, just wait until your name is called, then go and tell it."
Gu Chengping nodded frantically: "You are such a nice person, handsome and nice."
"Can I call you brother? You are more handsome than both of my brothers."
His words caused another round of laughter. Rong Rong even turned his head slightly, condescendingly, with a look of disdain in his eyes: "Oh, idiot."
Gu Chengping had no idea that they were laughing at him. His focus was not on them. He just looked at Yan Mofei with expectation.
"Can."
"Thank you, Brother Yan."
Yan Mofei smiled and patted his head. It felt pretty good. If someone else called him that, they would have ulterior motives. But Gu Chengping didn't. He heard a flurry of excited, incoherent words.
From recognizing a brother, to telling his biological brother, to remembering to tell the director, and finally to wanting to eat roast duck in the evening.
My thoughts are as wild as the sky.
Yan Mofei silently put down his hand and thought, feeling that this child and Yang Xiaoli would get along well.
It was soon Gu Chengping's turn for the audition. He went in happily and came out happily with stars in his eyes.
"Brother Yan, they agreed and praised my acting. They said I was tailor-made for this role."
"Great." Yan Mofei took out a lollipop from his pocket and handed it to Gu Chengping. It was stuffed in his pocket by Yang Xiaoli.
"Your reward for success."
"Thank you, Brother Yan. You will be my real brother from now on."
"Haha." Rong Rong glanced back. What a fool! They were so old, yet they still carried childish things like lollipops.
He straightened his clothes and it was his turn to audition.
