Chapter 6 Audition Passed
"This kid is just an extra. Playing such a difficult role is a huge challenge for him. He might even get a scolding from the director. After all, if someone doesn't perform this role well, he's really willing to scold them on the spot."
At this moment, the audition team members were talking quietly, and they saw the final result of Liu Chun's performance from his resume.
"Tch, a mere extra dares to show off in front of our director... But after he got a scolding this time, he definitely won't dare to act so recklessly again."
"This isn't some kind of talent development club. There's no need to look at it. This kid's resume shows he basically has no acting experience, and he probably doesn't even have a basic foundation in acting."
"Alright, you guys sit here for now, I need to go to the restroom."
……
Meanwhile, Zhang Jizhong and Xiu Qing started chatting: "Do you think this kid can play this role well? It's even more difficult for a newcomer who hasn't had any acting opportunities."
Xiu Qing shook his head upon hearing this: "It's hard to say! We'll have to see how he behaves first."
"Then I'll prepare to kick them out!"
"Hey everyone! Look at the center of the performance area! This guy named Liu Chun is really something!"
Suddenly, a voice shattered all the conclusions, and everyone turned their curious gazes toward the center of the performance area.
At this moment, Liu Chun is giving a passionate performance. Although the crew members he is acting with are not professionals, this does not affect his performance of the role.
"How could someone who's just playing a minor role have such acting talent? How come we didn't discover such a genius before?"
Hearing the high praise Liu Chun received from those around them, Zhang Jizhong and Xiu Qing's expressions froze at the same time. The two, who should have been happy to have "found a treasure," couldn't smile at all.
"Look, Director Zhang, there are still some talented young men in our capital city! This guy named... Liu Chun is really good. His movements are clean and crisp, and his acting is quite vivid. I was completely captivated just now. Great!"
"Hehe, yeah!" Zhang Jizhong couldn't manage a smile, so he looked very stiff.
He was only willing to offer this audition opportunity as a formality, but unexpectedly, a truly talented person appeared.
No... this can't go on!
He glanced at Xiu Qing beside him. They were only captivated by the boy named Liu Chun for a moment, and even they were so engrossed in watching him that they didn't realize they had been staring at him for quite some time.
Oh right, what about Liu Yifei?
Zhang Jizhong quickly turned around to find her location and soon located Liu Yifei.
Her reaction was the same as everyone else's; she watched Liu Chun's performance with great interest, as if she had found a perfect show to watch while eating.
Only now did Zhang Jizhong turn his attention to the scene. Although Liu Chun's performance was flawless, he felt no joy whatsoever, since the role had already been pre-selected!
"Liu Chun, looking at the entire capital, whether it's official news or rumors, his resume is completely clear, but no one has ever said that he can act."
If his acting skills are really that good, why didn't he showcase them earlier and let the world know about them?
"OK!"
With the successful conclusion of the scene where Liu Chun's character "Murong Fu questions Wang Yuyan," this scene was also successfully performed by him, and was very well done.
The audition panel was equally impressed, leaving them wanting more.
The sudden transformation of a struggling extra into a rising star in the entertainment industry was an unexpected outcome for everyone. And with it came a wave of criticism.
Seeing that director Zhang Jizhong maintained a solemn expression, everyone quieted down after the cheers, and even the discussions disappeared.
After the performance, Liu Chun stood confidently in front of Director Zhang, smiling, waiting for his evaluation.
The performance was a complete success, and no unforeseen accidents occurred during the process. Liu Chun was very satisfied with her performance.
"Your name is... Liu Chun, right?"
"Yes," Liu Chun replied politely, bowing slightly.
Zhang Jizhong paused for a moment before saying, "All of our staff on set just watched your performance, and it was excellent."
"However... you still look too young. Successfully portraying one scene doesn't mean anything. There's still a lot to learn, so..."
Before Director Zhang could finish speaking, Liu Yifei, who had been sitting and not intending to intervene, suddenly stood up and looked at Zhang Jizhong: "Director Zhang, Liu Chun's performance was excellent, everyone can see that. From this morning until now, among all the people who have come to audition, who has done better than him?"
Zhang Jizhong looked at Liu Yifei: "I already have a plan in mind, so you don't need to say anything more."
Normally speaking, Liu Chun's resume and experience are too limited, and he already has a preferred candidate in mind, so no matter what he says, Zhang Jizhong will reserve his opinion.
As for Liu Chun, he could only say "sorry," and it was already good enough that he didn't criticize or reprimand her on the spot.
So it still doesn't work?
Liu Chun had actually expected this outcome, but he still couldn't believe that Director Zhang would refuse so directly.
Is there really no chance at all?
At this moment, Liu Chun's mind was in turmoil. He wanted to successfully play the role of Murong Fu, but he also felt that it didn't really matter whether he succeeded or not. After all, he was just there to make an appearance and there was no need to take it seriously.
But he was unwilling to accept it!
Later, Liu Yifei went directly to director Zhang Jizhong's side.
The two didn't know what they said, but judging from Liu Yifei's expression, it seemed that what she said had changed Director Zhang's mind.
"So, I still have a chance?"
Liu Chun was somewhat excited. Murong Fu was a character in the script of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils". If he could successfully play the role, it would be a sure-fire way to make money in 03.
There's no doubt that you can make money as long as you have a role that gets you screen time.
After waiting for a long time, Zhang Jizhong first looked at Liu Yifei and Xiu Qing, and finally told everyone the confirmed answer: "After our intense discussion, we feel that your portrayal of 'Murong Fu' is indeed outstanding, and I see that there are not many people left to play. So, we are willing to give you a chance, and you will play the role of Murong Fu."
"Congratulations, Liu Chun, you passed the audition."
"Thank you, director. I will continue to work hard and will never let you down."
Liu Chun's gaze became intense. This was the wildly popular drama "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils," and he never imagined he could actually participate in it as an actor. He never dared to dream of such a thing before.
"Okay, then go back and prepare well, and wait for the production crew's notification."
After saying goodbye to the director, Liu Chun quickly went to Liu Yifei's side and proudly boasted to her, "How was it? Didn't your brother Chun act exceptionally well?"
Liu Yifei covered her mouth and laughed: "Not bad, it's quite good. But Chun-ge, this movie is about to start filming very soon, you really need to do more preparation and understand more about the plot."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Liu Chun glanced outside and continued, "But it's still early today, shouldn't we celebrate getting this role?"
Liu Yifei nodded: "Then I'll go tell Shuchang right now, and we can get together later."
Shortly after Liu Yifei left, Xiu Qing walked towards him.
"Liu Chun, right? Hello, I'm Xiu Qing."
"Hello there."
Xiu Qing is Zhang's chosen "Murong Fu". Why did he come to me?
