Huayu 1999: Starting with nothing but getting something for nothing

Next up is Huang Haibo. After he came in, he bowed respectfully to introduce himself, and then sat properly in the corner to wait for 5 minutes. It was the same scene; otherwise, how could they be compared?

As for their acting skills, Xia Yu's are beyond question, and Huang Haibo's are not bad either.

As soon as Huang Haibo performed, Yang Che realized the difference—well, not exactly a difference, but a distinct gap.

Xia Yu is truly amazing. His expressions, body language, even the instantaneous changes, are all incredibly impressive. He's so impressive that he gives off the feeling of, "See how awesome my acting is?"

Huang Haibo is not Huang Haibo; he's just an ordinary young man on the subway, with a strong sense of justice but also a bit of a coward.

The expressions were fairly accurate, but also particularly comical.

There was very little movement of the limbs.

"Haibo, wait a moment, we might need you to act in a scene, is that alright?"

"Of course, no problem."

Huang Haibo left with a forced smile on his face.

After Huang Haibo left, Yang Che couldn't help but ask curiously, "Hey guys, what's the difference between Xia Yu's and Huang Haibo's performances? I think Xia Yu's is awesome, but Huang Bo's is just comfortable to watch."

Cheng Er and Wu Shixian were both stunned, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.

Ning Hao grinned and said, "Xia Yu is shaping a character. He is conscious of his performance throughout, and his acting is meticulous and detailed. I'm not saying anything bad about him, but his basic skills are incredibly solid. He can do it effortlessly. He is a good actor, and he would definitely be amazing in a stage play."

Huang Haibo is an actor who can make people feel invisible. This guy has a great talent: extreme relaxation.

I don't know if you guys saw it, but whether he was gloating, feeling anxious and frustrated, or excited, his entire body was completely relaxed except for his face. This guy is awesome.

Yang Che looked at Ning Hao in surprise, as did the others, even Song Xiaofei turned the camera to Ning Hao's face.

Yang Che gave a thumbs up: "You're the awesome one."

"What's so great about me? You picked him. No, don't you know why you chose him?"

Ning Hao realized this too late.

Yang Che curled his lip and clapped his hands in a pretentious manner: "How could I tell you that?"

Wu Shixian said with a smile, "This guy is quite famous at school. No one in their class wanted to partner with him when rehearsing plays because he was too demanding and too serious. They said he was like Stephen Chow."

That's right, good people should be robbed.

Cheng Er looked at the group and said, "Brothers, let's continue and finish this as soon as possible."

This doesn't mean it's confirmed that it's Huang Haibo; it still depends on how his partner feels.

Next to enter was Gao Yuanyuan.

Perhaps because he was in work mode, Yang Che felt like she was a block of wood.

"Hello director, hello everyone, my name is Gao Yuanyuan, I'm 20 years old, and I've acted in..."

When Gao Yuanyuan introduced herself, her gaze was mostly on Yang Che. She was very curious about what kind of girl he had been through to write such a story that made people both laugh and cry.

Yang Che, who was being stared at by her, vaguely sensed several resentful gazes. He was also helpless. Was it wrong for me to be handsome?

Wu Shixian pulled out a sheet of paper, using the same old script.

Gao Yuanyuan took a look and remembered that this was a scene where the female lead was scolding two middle-aged men who were filming a housewife in a restaurant.

She had a bit of a headache. She really liked the script; although she laughed and cried, she felt great. Even though she felt she wasn't suited for it, she still wanted to give it a try.

Of course, this is the earliest example of a female-oriented wish-fulfillment novel...

So Gao Yuanyuan calmed down and started memorizing her lines seriously.

About three minutes later, Gao Yuanyuan spoke up: "Director, I'm ready."

Wu Shixian and Cheng Er exchanged a glance and picked up the script.

"Let's begin then."

Gao Yuanyuan moved the red plastic stool from the corner to the middle, then sat down, pretending to take off her coat, and said expressionlessly as she did so, "You can order."

Wu Shih-hsien: "Sesame paste cold noodles, plum juice."

Gao Yuanyuan's eyes widened: "Make braised noodles."

Wu Shih-hsien: "Then you can order."

Gao Yuanyuan still glared at her: "Hey~ don't pout."

Then, looking at the air beside her, her tone softened: "Make braised noodles."

Yang Che felt very uncomfortable. He felt that the girl's unreasonable behavior was like her being coquettish, and with only a few words of dialogue, she sounded weak and breathy.

And the same applies to the "spirited young woman" pointing at the two millennial "old men" and the two middle-aged men patting the woman; their lines include:

"Are you soliciting prostitutes?"

"Why should I order braised noodles? Are you qualified? Do you have keys made? How many keys do you have?"

"Look at your greasy face, have you no shame?"

"Do you even have a daughter?"

"And you guys, how old are you? Show me your ID cards."

"......"

The dialogue is poor, the underlying tone is weak, and the presence is lacking; the character is not up to par.

Yang Che glanced at Ning Hao several times, his meaning clear: Is this the actor you chose?

Ning Hao scratched his head, as if he hadn't seen it.

However, the group waited until Gao Yuanyuan finished her performance.

Cheng Er said, "You're not suitable for this role, I'm sorry."

Yang Che gasped. Damn it, this Cheng Er is really disrespectful. Is he trying to steal my man?

He quickly looked at Gao Yuanyuan, and sure enough, the girl's expression wasn't good. She forced a smile and said, "Thank you, director, for giving me this audition opportunity... I'll be going now."

Gao Yuanyuan nodded and turned to leave.

Yang Che calmly asked, "Gao Yuanyuan, what's your phone number?"

Gao Yuanyuan stared blankly for a moment, her face filled with disappointment. She subconsciously pulled out her phone number, and only after saying it did she realize that they had their own way of contacting each other.

Seeing Yang Chechong give himself a mischievous smile after writing down her phone number, Gao Yuanyuan's heart skipped a beat, and she pursed her lips as she left.

The next second, Ning Hao, Cheng Er, Wu Shixian, and Song Xiaofei stared intently at Yang Che. Didn't you already have Qin Lan? Wait, you were even entangled with Fan Bingbing...

Yang Che seemed oblivious to the disgruntled looks in their eyes, and said to himself, "Old Cheng, don't be so harsh. Doesn't that girl have any pride? Alright, call Fan Bingbing."

Fan Bingbing was smiling as soon as she came in, looking very relaxed and at ease.

So the four of them glanced at Yang Che in unison, as if by some strange twist of fate.

This made Yang Che, who wasn't exactly thick-skinned to begin with, very embarrassed. What was going on?

Seeing this inexplicable scene, Fan Bingbing really wanted to laugh. She didn't know why, but she just wanted to laugh, so she laughed a few times.

Yang Che glanced at her.

"cough."

Wu Shixian coughed lightly, handed over the papers, and began to explain the audition script.

Before they could even introduce themselves, well, we'd already eaten together.

And what about Fan Bingbing's performance?

Yang Che's behavior when ordering food was fine, but when it came to criticizing people, his brows furrowed. This was the feeling that when you place great hopes on someone, you find out they are a good-for-nothing when it comes to actually doing things.
