Huayu: Starting with Hijacking from "The Story of a Noble Family"

When Xu Heng came out of the dressing room, Liu Yifei and Liu Tao had just finished their makeup.

He didn't wear makeup; he simply changed into Duan Yu's costume and put on a wig.

He's in good enough shape, so it's no big deal if he doesn't wear makeup.

Moreover, actors don't usually wear heavy makeup for their first audition; the director needs to see what the actors look like naturally.

For example, Liu Yifei and Liu Tao both wore very light makeup at this time.

"I didn't expect you to look so handsome in period costume!"

Upon seeing Xu Heng, Liu Yifei couldn't help but tease him; she had gotten used to bickering with Xu Heng.

"Don't I look handsome in modern clothes?"

Xu Heng scoffed.

"The Story of a Noble Family" is a period drama set in the Republican era, but the makeup and costumes are still somewhat modern.

"snort!"

Liu Yifei pursed her lips but did not refute it, because Xu Heng's handsomeness was an objective fact.

Liu Tao, standing to the side, looked at the two with envy. Judging by their appearance alone, the two could definitely be called a golden couple, even surpassing ordinary celebrities.

Not to mention that one of them debuted as the second female lead in a major drama, and the other became the male lead in a major drama right from the start.

She was much older than the two of them, but she only acted in one sitcom and played a minor supporting role in "My Fair Princess III".

He's not as pretty as the young woman in front of him, and he has to compete with her for the same role.

"Oh, right, this is Liu Tao. She's here to audition for Wang Yuyan, just like me. But it seems we'll be auditioning for A'Zhu later. What about you?"

Liu Yifei added that she didn't seem to regard Liu Tao as a competitor at all.

It wasn't that she thought Liu Tao posed no threat to her, but rather that she would prefer to get the role, though it wouldn't matter if she didn't.

"I auditioned for the role of Qiao Feng."

Xu Heng nodded to Liu Tao.

He's here today to audition for the role of Duan Yu. His image and temperament are most suitable for Duan Yu, not Qiao Feng, but he might not get the role of Duan Yu during the audition.

Auditions are mainly for assessing acting skills; as for appearance and temperament, it's easy to tell at a glance.

At this moment, Liu Xiaoli walked over. When she saw her mother, Liu Yifei, who was about to say something, immediately stopped talking and became a lady again.

A short while later, the staff came over and asked the three of them to go for an audition together.

The audition room was a small conference room.

There were quite a few people in the room, including producer Zhang Dahuzi, director Zhou Xiaowen, and several executive directors and assistant directors.

Also included was Mao Geping, the famous makeup artist who did makeup for Liu Yifei and Liu Tao, and the photographer who was responsible for recording the audition process.

Seeing so many people, Liu Tao suddenly felt a little nervous, but he still managed to calm himself down, bowed deeply, and began to introduce himself: "Hello producer, hello director, I am Liu Tao. I have previously acted in a sitcom, 'Foreign Daughter-in-Law, Local Son-in-Law,' and 'Princess Pearl 3.' The role I am auditioning for today is Wang Yuyan."

Liu Yifei was about to follow suit when Xu Heng beat her to it.

"Hello producers and directors, I'm Xu Heng, and I'm auditioning for the role of Duan Yu today."

Xu Heng stood there, looking very calm.

Zhang Dahuzi frowned. You Jianming had told him before that this young man was somewhat lacking in social skills, but he didn't expect him to be so clueless.

Even if you've only just landed a leading role in a drama, or even if you're already famous, you still have to be "humble" in front of Zhang Da Zizi!

However, he had to admit that Xu Heng's appearance was truly outstanding. No wonder he was able to land the male lead role in a major drama as a newcomer, even beating out popular young actors like Lu Yi and Chen Kun!

What he didn't know was that Xu Heng thought he was being very humble and polite...

"Hello producer, hello director, I am Liu Yifei. I am currently filming my first drama, 'The Story of a Noble Family,' and the role I am auditioning for today is Wang Yuyan."

With Xu Heng as her role model, Liu Yifei naturally knew what to do.

He simply stood there and introduced himself naturally, without bowing like Liu Tao did.

With Xu Heng drawing attention, she didn't provoke too much resentment from Zhang Dahuzi and the others.

This is also why Liu Yifei felt that Xu Heng was somewhat arrogant, yet she was still willing to treat him as a friend.

Because Xu Heng wasn't just arrogant in front of her, but he was arrogant in front of everyone, such as when he was with the producer and director on the set of "The Story of a Noble Family".

Strictly speaking, Xu Heng can't be considered arrogant. It's just that in his eyes, everyone is the same, with no distinction between superior and inferior, at least in terms of personality!

He himself has never made any excessive demands or requests for special treatment!

To be honest, she quite admired Xu Heng's personality and behavior!

Zhang Da Hu Zi announced the start of the auditions. Today's audition is for the scene where Qiao Feng accidentally kills A Zhu. Xu Heng and the other two had already received the script for this scene.

First up are Xu Heng and Liu Tao. Xu Heng plays Qiao Feng, and Liu Tao plays A Zhu. Liu Tao is seen leaning against Xu Heng in an extremely weak state.

Xu Heng was heartbroken: A'Zhu, A'Zhu, what happened?

Liu Tao forced a smile: Promise me, never, ever hurt yourself.

Xu Heng continued to grieve: A'Zhu, why, why?

Liu Tao: Look at my left shoulder.

Xu Heng turned his head

Liu Tao said weakly, "My parents tattooed this mark on my body when they gave me away, so they could recognize me later. Today, they found a mark on that girl Azi's shoulder, and they know she's their daughter. The character 'Duan' is tattooed on Azi's shoulder, and even Jin Suo looks exactly like me."

Xu Heng was shocked: You mean, you are their daughter?

Liu Tao nodded: "I pretended to trick you into buying wine, but actually I went to the bamboo house and eavesdropped on my parents and sister Azi's conversation. That's how I found out about this. But I never imagined that the person who killed your parents was actually my own father. God is too cruel."

Liu Tao shed tears

In the script, Xu Heng is also required to shed tears, but since he is not actually auditioning for the role of Qiao Feng, he naturally won't actually shed tears, nor is there any need for it.

Liu Yifei, who was watching from the side, was initially engrossed, but she was quickly drawn in by the atmosphere.

It must be said that Liu Tao, who is only 24 years old, has pretty good acting skills. Although his lines were a bit disjointed and his emotions weren't quite there, at least he performed the whole thing and even cried at the end.

Needless to say, Xu Heng is still in the same league. Since "The Story of a Noble Family" hasn't finished filming yet, he still possesses Chen Kun's acting skills, which can be considered a kind of "bug".

Chen Kun is particularly adept at this kind of tragic drama.

Seeing the results of their auditions, Zhang Dahuzi didn't say anything, but Zhou Xiaowen nodded slightly.

After that scene ended, it was Liu Yifei's turn, and Xu Heng was still playing Qiao Feng.

Liu Yifei, leaning against Xu Heng, was inevitably a little nervous and shy. This was the first time she had such close contact with Xu Heng. In "The Story of a Noble Family", she and Xu Heng did not have any intimate scenes.

Besides, even if it's just the other people, she and Xu Heng are still friends.

However, she quickly calmed down and immersed herself in the performance.
