Chapter 81 Second Round of Auditions

Li Boda, who was filming for "Turn Left, Turn Right", received an invitation for a second audition for "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

After asking for leave from the crew, Li Boda rushed directly to the second audition location.

After arriving here, Li Boda discovered that many people had passed the second round of auditions. For the role of the male lead Yang Guo alone, there were as many as six or seven actors who had passed the second round of auditions.

As for the candidates who auditioned for the role of Xiaolongnu, there were relatively fewer of them.

"Li Boda, come on! I know you can pass the audition." Liu Yifei smiled and waved her little fist at Li Boda to encourage him.

"Okay, I will definitely try my best." Li Boda nodded with a smile.

After chatting with Liu Yifei for a while, Liu Yifei soon jumped off to the audition.

When Liu Yifei came out of the audition, her little face was full of smiles. It seemed that her second round of audition was very successful.

Of course, in fact, Li Boda had already known that Liu Yifei had already won the role of Xiaolongnu, and her audition was just a formality.

When the audition for the role of Yang Guo began, Li Boda was still somewhat nervous.

Among the actors who auditioned for the role of Yang Guo, Li Boda found that many of them had confidence written all over their faces.

Among them is Huang Xiaoming, and the other one is Nie Yuan!
When he saw Nie Yuan, a hint of surprise flashed in Li Boda's eyes.

At this moment, Nie Yuan's face seemed to have changed!

Before, Nie Yuan had a slightly protruding jawbone, and his facial features appeared more angular, which was a very distinctive facial feature.

And although his jaw is relatively prominent, he is still quite handsome when placed on his face.

But now, the protrusion of Nie Yuan's mandible is gone.

Li Boda looked at the originally angular square face, which had turned into a smooth snake-like face, and his eyes inevitably became a little weird.

To be honest, for a star, especially a star around 2000, having plastic surgery is really a very stupid thing.

If you are ugly, there is no way to avoid plastic surgery to make yourself prettier, and then you may be able to get more resources for TV dramas.

However, it is obvious that Nie Yuan’s face was quite good-looking and handsome before, and his handsomeness was very distinctive.

Now he suddenly had surgery on his face, which was undoubtedly a very stupid move.

Of course, if you are just filming a TV series, because of the resolution of the TV series, the acting skills will not be presented so clearly, so after the face is moved, it will not have much impact on the filming of the TV series.

But since Nie Yuan had plastic surgery, he can forget about developing in the film industry in the future.

Even in the TV drama circle, Nie Yuan might not be able to get many good roles if he did this.

In this era, whether it is a movie director or a TV drama director, they all prefer to use original faces.

So Li Boda really didn't understand why Nie Yuan, who was in such good health, would do something to her face and shave off her angular and distinctive jawbone.

Not to mention anything else, just based on Nie Yuan's behavior of moving his face, Li Boda thought that he had no chance of getting the role of Yang Guo.

Thinking of this, Li Boda looked at Nie Yuan with a little more pity in his eyes.

Nie Yuan had previously starred in "Marrying the Wrong Man", and became famous overnight from a newcomer. He then starred in TV series such as "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties". He was a popular young actor, and even had more experience than Li Boda, but he chose to do such a bone-cutting behavior. Li Boda didn't know what was going on in his brain.

Li Boda glanced at Nie Yuan, then looked at Huang Xiaoming and other actors who auditioned for the role of Yang Guo, and found that they all had smiles in their eyes when they looked at Nie Yuan.

Obviously, their ideas were very similar to Li Boda's.

The people who lined up in front of Li Boda went in for interviews one by one. This time, the duration of their interviews was almost the same. After they came out, their facial expressions were not as diverse as during the first audition.

It didn't take long before it was Li Boda's turn.

Perhaps because there were far fewer people interviewed this time than before, the faces of interviewers like Zhang Da Huzi did not look as tired as last time.

"Li Boda, right? Well, you performed well in the last interview. This time, you can perform this scene. It's a little more difficult than last time, but it shouldn't be a problem, right?" Zhang Da Huzi asked Li Boda.

"Director Zhang, no problem." Li Boda nodded quickly.

"Well, it's the same as always. Three minutes to read the script."

Once again, a piece of paper was delivered to Li Boda's hands.

Li Boda looked at the plot and lines in his hand carefully. It was indeed much more difficult than the last time, but for Li Boda, it was still not a big problem.

The performance started three minutes later. This time, there were a lot of lines, but Li Boda performed without any problems. He spoke clearly and at a fast pace. His image, expression, tone, etc. were all as close to Yang Guo's character as possible.

After the performance, Zhang Da Huzi clapped his hands twice and nodded slightly as if he was very satisfied.

"Very good, Li Boda, your performance this time was very good. I also think that you are quite suitable for the role of Yang Guo. How about this, you go back and wait for the next notification."

What Zhang Da Huzi said seemed to indicate that Li Boda was going to play the role of Yang Guo.

Li Boda appeared to be very happy as he left the room. He also vaguely understood why most of the people who finished the interview looked so happy.

It is possible that what Zhang Da Huzi said to Li Boda had already been said to those people before.

After the audition, Li Boda looked back at the hotel where he was interviewing, took out his cell phone and made a call.

"..."

"Well, I think you should pay attention to Zhang Da Huzi's audition for The Return of the Condor Heroes."

"..."

"Inside story? I don't know what inside story is, but I found out that Nie Yuan directly did something to his face in order to audition for the role of Yang Guo."

"..."

"Bone shaving. It seems he shaved off his mandible."

"..."

"Yes, I thought so too. With Zhang Da Huzi's love of hype, he will definitely spread the news that Nie Yuan sacrificed his jawbone for the role of Yang Guo."

"..."

"Yes, he is most likely just a runner-up."

"..."

"Well, it's up to you to decide."

"..."

"See you!"

Li Boda hung up the phone. He had no confidence in whether he could get the role of Yang Guo. The main reason was that Li Boda didn't want to take any crooked paths or use any unorthodox methods.

So Li Boda decided to make the audition for "The Return of the Condor Heroes" a bigger deal.

Of course, with Zhang Da Huzi's personality, he would make things very big, just like the previous TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils". During the filming, Zhang Da Huzi would try to scam anyone he could catch, and anyone who was famous would be scammed.

In the end, they fooled almost everyone before announcing who would play the male and female protagonists.

This time, it is likely to be no exception, and Nie Yuan, as expected, will definitely enter the final screening. In the end, he will be the one truly chosen by Nie Yuan and Zhang Da Huzi. After various comparisons between the two, it will not be until the last moment that Zhang Da Huzi will abandon Nie Yuan, who had his bones shaved and his face reshaped.

So Li Boda planned to add fuel to the fire.

As for the paparazzi Zhuo Wei, he was the partner chosen by Li Boda.

The last time they met, Li Boda found that Zhuo Wei was a very smart person, and Zhuo Wei would definitely not miss this opportunity.

After the audition, Li Boda returned to the crew of "Turn Left, Turn Right".

After returning to the crew, the director and Jia Jingwen were very concerned about whether Li Boda had passed the audition.

For the directors, if Li Boda succeeds in the audition and gets the role of Yang Guo, even if "The Return of the Condor Heroes" has not yet been filmed, it will provide certain benefits for the promotion of "Turn Left, Turn Right" and other aspects.

As for Jia Jingwen, it was more out of concern for her friend.

In response to their curiosity, Li Boda just smiled and said that he felt okay. He was not confident whether he would pass the audition in the end, and it all depended on Zhang Da Huzi's opinion.

"Anyway, I think you, Boda, are excellent in all aspects. If I were Zhang Da Huzi, I would definitely choose you." The director patted Li Boda's shoulder and said casually.

"So, director, you have a keen eye for talent, and that's why you gave me the role of Shen Shitao." Li Boda said with a smile.

"Yes, I have a keen eye for heroes. Hahaha!"

After the director left, Jia Jingwen approached Li Boda and asked carefully, "Boda, is this audition really okay?"

"..." Li Boda originally planned to brush it off like he had just done, but looking at Jia Jingwen's eyes that showed a hint of nervousness and concern, he smiled: "Actually, the chances of passing the audition aren't that high."

"Huh? But I think your acting is great."

"This is not a question of acting. I heard that this Zhang Da Huzi is quite greedy. I think you understand what I mean." Li Boda said in a low voice.

"...I understand. In fact, I have encountered similar situations before. I clearly think that I am better than the other party in all aspects, but the crew and the director chose the other party. I have encountered this kind of thing many times in Taiwan..." Jia Jingwen nodded, looking empathetic.

……

As expected, after the second round of auditions, all kinds of news about the auditions for "The Return of the Condor Heroes" began to fly all over the outside world.

There were even more reports about Nie Yuan shaving his bones for the role of Yang Guo, which directly suppressed the news about other audition candidates, and even gave people the feeling that Nie Yuan had been chosen by Zhang Da Huzi to play the role of Yang Guo.
