In the waiting area, Xia Hong was fidgeting on the bench.

He and Mu Taozhi are good friends. The two debuted together back then, and now they are both top-notch in the country.

However, Mu Taozhi trained hard in variety shows and tore off his label of "bad acting skills". Now, the opponent's development is getting better and better. Although his acting skills are not top-notch, he is already one of the best among the ranks of traffic stars.

On the other hand, looking at Xia Hong, the situation was completely opposite.

No matter how hard he tried, his acting skills could not improve. He also invited teachers to study, and he also found a well-known old drama player in the industry to guide him.

It's just that the effect is not particularly ideal.

Seeing his last movie hit the street again, Xia Hong couldn't help feeling anxious.

So, at Mu Taozhi's suggestion, he came to "Tianya Ling" for an audition, intending to try his luck.

I still remember that before departure, Mu Taozhi told him for a while: "Don't worry, as long as you can catch Sister Liang's eyes, your acting skills will definitely improve by leaps and bounds! You must prepare well for this audition. Whether you can change the way of acting depends on this time." .”

Xia Hong always felt in his heart that Mu Taozhi admired Yao Bianliang too much, and he looked like he was a fan of Yao Bianliang.

However, he also understands that Yao Bianliang can even bring out Mu Taozhi, and if he wants to bring him such a fresh meat, there must be no problem.

The only thing that worries him is the rumor that Yao Bianliang attaches great importance to acting skills. A traffic star like him may not be able to meet the needs of the other party.

"Hey, isn't this Brother Xia?" At this moment, a clear voice sounded behind him, with a bit of teasing of unknown meaning.

Shocked, Xia Hong turned around and saw a young man coming from the opposite side.

"Ouyang Xiaoqing?"

Xia Hong frowned slightly, this person came anyway.

Ouyang Xiaoqing has a very long Aotian surname, but unfortunately, the word "Xiaoqing" abruptly destroyed Long Aotian's aura.

At this time, he walked over slowly with a head of yellow curly hair.

"Brother Xia, you're here to audition too? What a coincidence," Ouyang Xiaoqing smiled, showing his white teeth, "The role I'm applying for is that young swordsman, how about you?"

"...Me too." Xia Hong's voice was a little low, not very confident.

He knew in his heart that although Ouyang Xiaoqing's character was not good, his acting skills were not bad.

Compared with traffic and popularity, Yao Bianliang obviously values ​​acting skills more. Therefore, compared with the opponent, Xia Hong's chances of winning are not great.

Ouyang Xiaoqing leaned on the back of the chair and sighed leisurely: "I heard that Brother Xia's last movie sold 200 million at the box office, beating 70% of the same period! Such a good result, I haven't had time to congratulate you Woolen cloth."

"Unlike me, the movie I acted in has not yet been released."

Xia Hong: "..."

The box office of 200 million yuan seems to be very good at first glance.

But in fact, compared with an investment of one billion yuan, the box office of 200 million yuan can be said to be a complete blow to the street.

As an insider, can Ouyang Xiaoqing not understand the twists and turns? He was clearly mocking Chi Guoguo!

Xia Hong's complexion immediately turned ugly. But he has a relatively introverted personality. Once he argues with others, his mind goes blank and he doesn't know what to say at all.

Ouyang Xiaoqing: "Oh, Brother Xia won't be angry, right? I'm just joking, don't mind, I always speak out of my head."

Xia Hong choked, unable to say what he originally refuted. His face flushed red at the moment.

The curvature of Ouyang Xiaoqing's lips became more and more obvious, with playfulness and viciousness.

He was about to say something more, but the front door suddenly opened, and the assistant waved towards him.

"The next one, Ouyang Xiaoqing, it's your turn!"

Ouyang Xiaoqing had no choice but to give up the conversation with regret.

He stood up slowly, and blinked at Xia Hong: "Then I'll go in first, brother Xia goodbye."

Xia Hong watched the other party walk into the room confidently, feeling both regretful and depressed.

With Ouyang Xiaoqing Zhuyu in front, I'm afraid...he has no chance of winning, right?

…

In the audition room, Yao Bianliang was also checking Ouyang Xiaoqing's information.

"Ouyang Xiaoqing...his acting skills seem to be pretty good, right? His reputation is pretty good too." Flipping through the contents of his resume, Yao Bianliang was thoughtful.

Ling Huanxuan smiled and nodded: "That's right, his acting skills are recognized as outstanding. The "Military Master of the Han Dynasty" that was staged a while ago received very good reviews."

Yao Bianliang frowned slightly.

It seems that although this Ouyang Xiaoqing is a traffic star, he doesn't quite meet her requirements.

And soon, Ouyang Xiaoqing's performance also confirmed her guess.

Yao Bianliang asked the other party to draw a few cards at random, and perform non-physical performances according to the above requirements.

The performance of the other party is remarkable, although the traces of performance are a bit heavy, but there is no doubt that among these candidates, his performance is the most exciting.

After the last play, Ouyang Xiaoqing stood where he was, with a flash of self-satisfaction in his eyes: "Mr. Yao, I'm done."

The staff in the room were amazed, it was because the acting skills of the previous traffic stars were not very good, and they never thought that a good acting skill could be mixed in here.

Yao Bianliang tapped the table with his fingers, and sighed: "Well, it's really good."

After she finished speaking, she looked at the young man in front of her, feeling a little helpless.

Your acting skills are so good, why do you still come to my place to earn a living! Wouldn't it be nice to act in other dramas?

The curvature of Ouyang Xiaoqing's lips became more obvious.

He knew that with his acting skills, it would not be difficult to win this role.

"Your acting skills... are indeed very good," Yao Bianliang took a deep breath, and said a little depressed, "but the problem is that your acting skills are too good."

Ouyang Xiaoqing:? ? ?

Ouyang Xiaoqing's face froze slightly, and he froze for a moment, and then realized the meaning of Yao Bian's sarcastic words.

This is different from what he imagined.

Logically speaking, shouldn't Yao Bianliang be overwhelmed by his acting skills and cast him immediately?

His acting skills are very good, isn't that just right? I've seen people who dislike poor acting skills, but I haven't seen people who dislike actors who have too good acting skills!

Ling Huanxuan was also a little puzzled: "Sister Liang, what do you mean?"

Yao Bianliang subtly shook his head at Ling Huanxuan, then looked at Ouyang Xiaoqing with a smile on his face: "Thank you for coming to audition, go back and wait for news, we will communicate with you within three working days. "

Ouyang Xiaoqing: "..."

Isn't this the meaning of tactful refusal?

Ouyang Xiaoqing couldn't understand it at all. He felt that his performance was obviously very good. Even if he couldn't decide on the spot, he should be one of the strong contenders.

But now, according to Yao Bianliang's intention, his audition this time may be useless.

Ouyang Xiaoqing finally left the room with a sullen face. He closed the door without any intention of stopping, and strode forward, obviously not wanting to stay in this place anymore.

Passing by the waiting area, looking at Xia Hong who was still waiting for the audition, the corner of Ouyang Xiaoqing's mouth could not help but twitch a mocking arc.

"Don't think about it, Yao Bianliang's requirements are very high," he sneered, and gave Xia Hong a disdainful look, "You must be out of luck."

After leaving this sentence, he ignored Xia Hong's reaction and left directly.

Xia Hong froze for a moment, and then realized what happened.

Ouyang Xiaoqing's face is so dark, could it be that he was directly eliminated?

No way, Ouyang Xiaoqing's acting skills are already the top among them. Even he was eliminated, one can imagine how high Yao Bianliang's requirements are.

Xia Hong felt even more bitter in his heart. From this point of view, he was completely hopeless.

"Xia Hong, it's up to you."

Not far away, the assistant waved to him, signaling him to go to the audition as soon as possible.

Xia Hong could only manage to sort out his emotions, and with a mentality of giving it a try, he walked slowly into the room.

"Sister Ling, this Xia Hong is the star who was ridiculed as the king of bad dramas a while ago?" Yao Bianliang looked at the information in his hand and asked in a low voice.

"Well, it's him," Ling Huanxuan nodded, and replied in a low voice, "His new movie "The Legend of Qinghe" that was staged recently lost all his money, and has been ridiculed by the entire Internet for more than a month."

Yao Bianliang's eyes lit up. She had vaguely heard about the movie Qinghe Turning to the Street, but she didn't expect that the leading actor was actually Xia Hong.

Hearing Ling Huanxuan's introduction, her eyes could not help but light up.

Not bad, it is a material that can be made!

"Mr. Yao, Mr. Ling, I'm Xia Hong." Compared with Ouyang Xiaoqing, Xia Hong was obviously much more reserved.

Yao Bianliang looked at him with kinder eyes, as if looking at a qualified junior.

"Don't be nervous, just relax." Yao Bianliang signaled the other party to draw a card.

Xia Hong became even more nervous, he swallowed, his voice stammered a bit: "Okay, okay."

Sure enough, in the following performances, Xia Hong's performance was really not that good.

In fact, compared to other traffic stars, Xia Hong's performance is already pretty good.

Even in a very tense situation, he still performed the chic and wanton performance of a young swordsman with outstanding temperament.

It's a pity that with Ouyang Xiaoqing Zhuyu in front, his performance is obviously not as good.

Ling Huanxuan couldn't help but shook her head and sighed, and said to Yao Bianliang in a low voice: "I heard that 90% of the plays Xia Hong acted in were hit the streets. His acting skills are flawed, no matter how good a senior director is, he can't hold him back. "

Yao Bianliang heard the words, but his eyes became brighter and brighter.

90% of dramas hit the street? Even the best director can't move?

There is such a good thing!

Then, let Xia Hong enter the crew, and her show will become colder, it's a good thing!

While the two were talking in a low voice, Xia Hong's performance came to an end.

After the performance, the boy took a break and broke away from the emotions of the character, and then a strong sense of loss came to his heart.

He still did really badly. Especially when it comes to auditions, it's always more nervous than ever.

This kind of performance, I'm afraid it can't even match half of Ouyang Xiaoqing's performance, right?

However, when he raised his eyes, he met Yao Bianliang's encouraging and smiling eyes.

"Not bad, you performed very well." Yao Bianliang's lip corners rose, which can be said to be quite satisfied.

Xia Hong was taken aback. Yao Bianliang's attitude was too sincere, he couldn't tell for a while whether the other party was being polite to him, or a sincere compliment.

"Shall we leave a contact information?" Yao Bianliang said, "If the follow-up audition passes, we will notify you."

Of course Xia Hong would not refuse, and quickly nodded in response: "Okay!"

Although in his opinion, the reason why he was able to leave his contact information was probably because Mr. Yao sold him face. Not necessarily because of how much he admired him.

However, even so, he was very satisfied.

———

"Sister Liang really wants to hire Xia Hong?"

Two days later, when she saw the final result that Yao Bianliang sent her, Ling Huanxuan was in a bad mood.

At the audition, Yao Bianliang's attitude was quite intriguing. Although Ling Huanxuan was a little uneasy, she didn't think in that direction after all.

Unexpectedly, Yao Bianliang really rejected Ouyang Xiaoqing and chose Xia Hong!

"What on earth is she thinking?"

Ling Huanxuan was puzzled and couldn't understand Yao Bianliang's brain circuit at all.

She believed in Yao Bianliang's acting skills. But now, seeing the other party choose actors like this, she had to have some doubts—

Was it right or wrong for her to choose Yao Bianliang to cooperate with?

"No, I have to find a way." Ling Huanxuan couldn't sit still.

She felt that if Xia Honglai was allowed to play this important supporting role, then their drama would not be far from hitting the street.

Either way, this must be stopped!

However, Ling Huanxuan did not act impulsively. In her mind, there must be a reason for Yao Bianliang to make this decision. She has to understand the other party's thoughts clearly before making a decision.

So after thinking about it for a while, Ling Huanxuan found her old friend for many years—Director Hua.

As a director, Director Hua had a brief cooperation with Yao Bianliang in the variety show "Good Drama PK Competition", so he should have a deeper understanding of Yao Bianliang.

The two made an appointment to meet at a nearby cafe, and as soon as they sat down, Ling Huanxuan directly asked each other for advice.

"Brother Hua, I won't play around with you anymore," she sighed softly, "You should know that Mrs. Yao Bianliang is preparing a new drama recently, and she will direct and act in this new drama."

"I believe in her professionalism as an actress. However, I really disagree with her vision of casting - especially in casting!"

Director Hua raised his eyebrows slightly, curious: "Oh?"

"Hey, just two days ago, in the casting of the young swordsman, she actually rejected Ouyang Xiaoqing, who has both good looks and acting skills, and instead chose Xia Hong, who has a face!"

Speaking of this, Ling Huanxuan's tone couldn't hide her distress.

Director Hua frowned slightly, and was quite surprised.

He naturally knew that Xia Hong's acting skills were not good. With Yao Bianliang's pursuit of the quality of his works, he shouldn't choose a little fresh meat with nothing but good looks and no strength.

Or is she planning to personally train Xia Hong and carve this rough jade?

After all, he has worked with Yao Bianliang before, and Director Hua has a clear understanding of Yao Bianliang's vision and ability. Therefore, he did not question it immediately.

"It's indeed a bit weird, but I think Teacher Yao must have her reasons."

Director Hua rubbed his chin with his finger, thoughtfully: "When Mr. Yao watched Ouyang Xiaoqing's performance, did he say anything?"

Ling Huanxuan recalled the scene at that time, and then said carefully: "Sister Liang didn't say anything else. She praised Ouyang Xiaoqing's acting skills very well, but the bad thing is... such acting skills are really good."

The bad thing is that the acting is too good?

Why does Yao Bianliang dislike an actor whose acting skills are too good?

Director Hua frowned and thought, and asked Ling Huanxuan to describe the audition situation at that time.

After several times of thinking, his eyes lit up, and he finally realized.

"I see! I understand," Director Hua sighed with a smile, "As expected of Teacher Yao, she can always see things that others can't understand."
