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

Xu Heng walked out of the room, and the audition for the male lead was over. Next was the audition for the female lead, and Luo Haiqiong was the first to enter the room.

She previously played the female lead in "Like Fog, Like Rain, Like Wind," with Zhou Xun playing the second female lead.

"How is it?"

Upon seeing Xu Heng approach, Zhang Zichen immediately asked.

"What else can we do but go back and wait for their call!"

Xu Heng joked, then asked, "Do you want me to wait for you?"

"That would be great, thank you so much, Brother Xu!"

Zhang Zichen naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity to build a good relationship with Xu Heng. Among the five actors auditioning for the male lead, Xu Heng, as a newcomer, had the longest audition time, which clearly proved that the person in charge of the auditions was most interested in Xu Heng!

Xu Heng nodded, then leaned against the wall and started playing Snake, completely oblivious to the stares of others.

Anyway, there's nothing to do back at school, and I don't really want to go to class.

On the other side, Jia Nailiang and Huang Shengyi also saw Xu Heng after his audition ended, and they also realized that Xu Heng's audition took the longest.

"Looks like a big star is about to emerge from our class!"

Jia Nailiang felt a little sour.

He wanted to make a sarcastic remark, but he didn't want to lose his composure in front of his girlfriend or be seen as petty.

"This is only the second round of auditions, and none of the real big-name stars are here. Xu Heng's chances of becoming the male lead are slim!"

Huang Shengyi said directly.

No matter what, Jia Nailiang is her boyfriend now, so she will definitely stand on his side.

She knew Jia Nailiang's personality all too well.

However, it's impossible to say that she doesn't regret it.

If she had known that Xu Heng would make a name for himself so quickly, she definitely wouldn't have minded actively pursuing him instead of just giving him a hint.

In her opinion, Xu Heng's chances of becoming the male lead are indeed slim, but his chances of landing a supporting role are extremely high, and he might even get an important supporting role!

Then, until the lunch break, it was still not Zhang Zichen and Jia Nailiang's turn to audition.

Zhang Zichen, being quite tactful, treated Xu Heng to a meal outside.

Unfortunately, Sun Haidong and Wang Hongyu also came over after class, so Zhang Zichen had no choice but to grit his teeth and invite them both.

By the time Zhang Zichen finished his audition in the afternoon, it was already past 3 p.m., and by then almost all the auditions had ended.

Xu Heng had just returned to his dormitory when he received a call from the production team, informing him that he would be participating in the final audition for the male lead role in eight days, on the afternoon of April 2nd.

Xu Heng put down his phone and looked at his three roommates, who were staring at him expectantly. He could only say helplessly, "You know, there are some things I can't reveal!"

"Did you really get elected?"

The three roommates were immediately taken aback, because there was no need to keep it a secret if they weren't selected, and they might not even be notified by phone!

"Today is only the second round of auditions; there's still the final audition to come, and none of the really big-name actors are here today."

Xu Heng explained.

So the three roommates immediately understood that this was Xu Heng's final audition for the male lead role, and he would be competing with those real big-name actors for the male lead in this drama!

Even if you fail, you'll likely get other roles and might even become famous overnight!

"I auditioned for the male lead, so I'll definitely be notified first when the results are out. You'll probably have to wait a while, but even if you don't get the part, it's okay. We're only freshmen, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future!"

Xu Heng then looked at Zhang Zichen, because Zhang Zichen had not yet received a call from the production team.

He didn't have much of an impression of Zhang Zichen, nor of Sun Haidong and Wang Hongyu. Clearly, even if they entered the entertainment industry in their previous life, they didn't do very well.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. As long as Jia Nailiang didn't pass either, at least I didn't lose to him!"

Zhang Zichen gave a wry smile.

Fortunately, Jia Nailiang did not audition for the male lead like Xu Heng, but instead auditioned for the supporting role of the young master, just like Xu Heng.

Meanwhile, Jia Nailiang on the other side also did not receive a call from the production team. However, he was unaware that the production team had already begun notifying those who had passed the audition, so he was in a much better mood than Zhang Zichen.

"Fourth brother, we are indeed only freshmen, but can we compare to you? Shouldn't you do something to show your support?"

Sun Haidong changed the subject.

Wang Hongyu chimed in, "Exactly! Second Brother already said so at noon, now it's your turn, Fourth Brother. We won't even talk about the final audition results yet, but we can't just let bygones be bygones about what you guys kept from us, can we?"

"I already told you not to call me 'Second Brother,' and besides, I'm older than you, so you should call me 'Second Brother'!"

Zhang Zichen looked at Wang Hongyu.

Xu Heng simply shrugged: "Sorry, I don't have much money left for living expenses!"

He was greeted with disdainful looks from his three roommates, and three raised middle fingers!

The next day, Xu Heng attended classes as usual.

As soon as I entered the classroom, my classmates came over to congratulate me, even more enthusiastically than last time.

The news that he auditioned for the male lead in the second round has already spread among Huang Shengyi.

Besides, his roommate couldn't reveal that he had passed the second round of auditions and entered the final round, but he could still brag about how he had passed the second round of auditions for the male lead.

After the morning classes ended, he was called to the office by his homeroom teacher.

"You auditioned for the male lead role in the second round?"

Huo Xuan looked at the student in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little shocked.

He had always thought highly of Xu Heng, but he never expected that Xu Heng would become famous so quickly. He was able to audition for the male lead in his very first role, and it was a big production with an investment of 2000 million yuan.

Moreover, it wasn't a preliminary selection, but a real audition, something that's rare even in the entire entertainment industry.

Most importantly, he knew Xu Heng's family background and that it couldn't offer him any help, and he hadn't heard any gossip about Xu Heng.

In other words, Xu Heng may have gotten this opportunity entirely on his own!

"Yes, Professor Huo."

Xu Heng nodded.

"So, is there any result yet?"

Huo Xuan asked again.

He and Li Dawei didn't have a deep relationship, so it was impossible for him to tell him everything, let alone something as important as casting the male lead.

Previously, the casting director of "The Story of a Noble Family" called him to tell him that three students in their class had passed the audition, but did not tell him that Xu Heng had passed the audition for the male lead.

This time, Xu Heng didn't answer, he just looked at him.

Huo Xuan was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized that she must have passed the second round of auditions as well!

At the same time, he finally understood why that person had taken the initiative to come to his door today!

"Someone asked me about you and wanted to sign you, but I didn't tell her. It's up to you whether you sign or not."

Huo Xuan glanced at Xu Heng again.

"Who?"

Xu Heng was curious.

"Wang Jinghua, a well-known agent in the industry, you should know her, right?"

Huo Xuan replied.

It's clear that Wang Jinghua has already used her connections to get the news that Xu Heng passed the second round of auditions for the male lead!
