Chinese Entertainment: Top-Tier Boyfriends of Young Actresses

Time quickly came to the day of the audition for the lead actress.

These days, Su Yu has also been busy, constantly studying the character Jiang Chen and trying to immerse himself in the role, while repeatedly rehearsing scenes with Xiao Tian. The two of them are getting better and better at their roles.

Sometimes, in a daze, he would lose track of whether he was Su Yu or Jiang Chen.

But once he comes to his senses, he can quickly pull himself out of that state.

After spending these few days together, he realized that his feelings for Tian Xiwei had changed from initially caring for a friend and fellow villager to something else entirely.

During this time, without realizing it, he had gradually transferred Jiang Chen's feelings for Chen Xiaoxi to Tian Xiwei.

On the morning of the audition, Su Yu arrived at Huace's office building early.

Several girls were already sitting in the corridor, some with their heads down reciting their poems, and others with their eyes closed, taking deep breaths.

Shen Yue sat against the wall, wearing a white sweatshirt, her ponytail tied high, looking neat and tidy.

Meanwhile, Tian Xiwei sat at the other end, flipping through the script.

As Su Yu walked past her, she looked up and smiled at him.

Su Yu didn't say anything, just nodded to her, and then went inside.

Tian Xiwei was the third to audition, while Shen Yue was the fifth.

The first two girls were unfamiliar to Su Yu, but he felt they weren't very good match.

The production crew's evaluation was similar to Su Yu's. He took the opportunity to secretly glance at it and saw that Dai Lu had put an "X" under their information.

It was Tian Xiwei's turn.

She stood up from her chair, stuffed the script into her bag, took a deep breath, and pushed open the door to go inside.

In the audition room, Dai Lu sat in the middle of the judges' panel, Yang Long sat to her left, and Duan Chao sat to her right.

Su Yu stood next to the judges' panel; today, he was just a supporting actor.

Dai Lu raised her chin: "Let's begin. Choose the one you're most confident in."

She chose the scene where her confession was rejected.

After the audition began, she suddenly changed her expression and looked at Su Yu.

Then, under Su Yu's gaze, her eyes gradually reddened.

"Jiang Chen." The voice was very soft, with a slight nasal tone.

"I just wanted to tell you that I like you. It's okay if you don't like me back, I just wanted you to know."

As soon as she finished speaking, tears began to fall.

She quickly wiped it away with the back of her hand, then forced a smile, her eyes still red.

It looks broken yet beautiful.

"You don't need to feel guilty. I just... I just couldn't help but want to tell you."

After saying that, she was silent for a few seconds, then lowered her head, turned around and left.

Afterwards, Tian Xi turned around and bowed to the main creators.

"Dear teachers, my performance is over."

Then, to everyone's surprise, the girl opened her bag and handed the director and producer a PowerPoint presentation she had printed out about Chen Xiaoxi's biography.

"These are some of my thoughts on the character Chen Xiaoxi. I hope the two teachers can take some time to read them."

The audition room was quiet for a moment. Yang Long turned his head and glanced at Dai Lu. Dai Lu did not speak immediately, but nodded slightly.

"Is this even possible?"

Su Yu, standing to the side, couldn't help but sigh, this girl had even more outrageous tricks up her sleeve than he did.

After Tian Xiwei left, she waited for another person, and it was Shen Yue's turn.

Her performance was solid, her lines were clear, and her emotions were on point.

After all the auditions were over, Su Yu was about to leave when Dai Lu called out to him, "Xiao Su, stay a moment."

Dai Lu, Yang Long, Duan Chao, and a few members of the casting team remained in the meeting room.

Photos and audition records were spread out on the table, and the discussion began.

After some discussion, only Shen Yue and Tian Xiwei were ultimately chosen.

Duan Chao spoke first: "I think Shen Yue is more suitable. Her acting skills are very solid, her attention to detail is excellent, and she also has a strong sense of youthfulness."

Another member of the casting team chimed in, "Indeed, Shen Yue's performance is more mature; there were almost no obvious mistakes during the audition."

Director Yang Long had a different opinion: "I think Tian Xiwei's performance was more moving. In the confession scene, Xiao Su should have been able to feel it, right?"

After saying that, she winked at Su Yu, who didn't say anything but just returned a polite smile.

"Tian Xiwei's acting skills are also good, and she's prettier than Shen Yue."

A young man wearing glasses on the casting team chimed in, paused, and said, "To be honest, Shen Yue isn't that stunning. Even her manager is prettier than her. Besides, Tian Xiwei is a very dedicated girl; she even made a PowerPoint presentation for the role."

As soon as he said that, everyone in the room burst out laughing.

After everyone finished laughing, Dai Lu flipped through the documents in her hand, looked up, and looked at Su Yu.

"Xiao Su, what do you think? You've acted with both of them, who do you think was better?"

"I?"

Su Yu thought about it and naturally preferred Xiao Tian.

"I think Tian Xiwei is better, probably because I'm more familiar with her, so we have better chemistry."

After saying that, he shut up and didn't say anything more. He had done what he could, and the rest was beyond his control.

Dai Lu leaned back in her chair, thought for a moment, and said, "Then let's go with Tian Xiwei."

Duan Chao wanted to say something more, but Dai Lu waved her hand.

"Her acting is solid, she's good-looking, and she has great chemistry with the male lead. Most importantly—"

She closed the document. "She only asked for 200,000."

No one spoke in the meeting room.

Dai Lu stood up and put the documents on the table: "Alright, it's settled then. I'll notify her later."

When Su Yu walked out of the conference room, he saw Tian Xiwei sitting on a chair in the corridor.

All the other girls who auditioned had already left, leaving her alone.

Su Yu walked up to her. "Why haven't you left yet?"

Tian Xiwei blinked and smiled at Su Yu.

"I'll be waiting for you."

"Why are you waiting for me? What if it takes several more hours to get here? Are you just going to sit here and wait?"

Tian Xiwei nodded without hesitation.

"Yes, I'm willing to wait for you."

Su Yu was taken aback by her blunt words. This girl wasn't like this when they were rehearsing a few days ago.

How come you've already turned into a fangirl again right after the audition?

Su Yu quickly coughed. "Alright, let's go then."

After saying that, he got up and walked outside, and Tian Xiwei quickly followed.

"By the way, I'll let you in on a secret: you passed."

In the elevator, seeing that no one was around, Su Yu still told Xiao Tian the result of the audition.

Anyway, Dai Lu and the others will inform her later, so I might as well tell her in advance and make her happy.

"Is it really over?"

Tian Xiwei could hardly believe it.

"real."

She looked up at Su Yu, her eyes bright, and then suddenly moved closer to him.

"Brother Yu, are you free tonight? I'd like to treat you to dinner to thank you for your help these past few days."

The two were very close; Su Yu could even feel her warm breath.

He looked at the undisguised expectation in her eyes, remained silent for a few seconds, and finally nodded gently.

Afterwards, the two went to a quiet restaurant for dinner.

She had a few drinks tonight, and a faint blush rose to her cheeks. She was more talkative than usual, chattering about the funny things that happened to her at school. Su Yu listened and occasionally responded with a few words.

After dinner, Su Yu took her back to her hotel.

At the door, Tian Xiwei swiped her card to open the door and turned to look at him.

The corridor was quiet; it was just the two of them.

"Won't you come in and have a seat?"

Her face glowed softly in the dim light of the corridor, and her large eyes held both anticipation and a touch of nervousness.

Looking at her sweet face, Su Yu couldn't help but feel a little angry.

Since his rebirth, he has been busy trying to make it in the entertainment industry, and hasn't had any real taste of romance. He also got a girlfriend, but due to some restrictions, they haven't taken things any further.

Adding to the feelings that developed between him and her while acting together recently, he is now somewhat unable to leave her side.

When a beautiful woman so openly invites him, he naturally can't refuse.

He nodded.

The door closed behind him, and as soon as he turned around, Tian Xiwei hugged him.

Su Yu did not push him away.

Tian Xiwei buried her face in his chest, her voice soft.

"Brother Yu, I've liked you ever since I saw your photos on Weibo last February. Later, you filmed 'Medical Examiner Qin Ming,' and I dragged my roommate to watch it together. We watched each episode several times."

"When I met you for the second time at the airport, I felt like it was the luckiest day of my life."

"When you recommended me for an audition later, I was so happy that I couldn't sleep all night. The days I spent acting with you were the happiest time of my life."

She lifted her head from his chest.

"I don't know how you see me, but I just want to tell you that I like you. I like your thoughtfulness and gentleness. In my heart, you are the best person!"

Su Yu did not answer.

He lowered his head and kissed her.

Tian Xiwei paused for a moment, then closed her eyes.

Slowly, Su Yu tightened his arms, pulling her into his embrace. She stood on tiptoe and awkwardly responded.

The light from outside shone through the gaps in the curtains, casting shadows on the two young men and women inside the room.

Two figures slowly moved from the doorway to the bedside, and at some point, a pile of clothes were scattered on the floor.

"I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable."

"Don't say these things..." Tian Xiwei's voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

after awhile.

"Be gentle, I'm still the first, um..."
