Chinese Entertainment: Top-Tier Boyfriends of Young Actresses

Chapter 92 First Encounter

A well-known art exam training institution in Beijing.

Hu Lianxin was standing in front of the barre in the practice room.

She was wearing a black training uniform, her hair was styled in a high bun, revealing her slender neck.

Under the guidance of the posture teacher, she took a deep breath, slowly stretched her arms upward, clasped her fingers together above her head, and then bent her whole body backward, doing a standard backbend.

Her waist was as supple as a willow branch in spring, her upper body bent into a graceful arc, her hands firmly supported her on the floor, her abdomen tightened, her legs straight, and her toes pointed into a line.

Sunlight streamed in through the huge floor-to-ceiling window of the practice room, falling on her and giving her black practice clothes a faint golden edge.

The light traced the supple curves of her slender waist, highlighting the unique grace of a young girl. Her collarbone peeked out slightly in the light, and fine beads of sweat glistened on her forehead, sparkling in the sunlight.

Her fingers were long and slender, with her fingertips slightly supporting her weight on the ground, and faint blue veins could be seen on her wrist bones.

A few strands of hair, damp with sweat, clung to her delicate face, making her look exceptionally beautiful.

"Very good, keep it up—three, two, one, go!"

The posture teacher stood beside her, gently tapping her waist with her finger. "Xiao Hu's posture is very good. Everyone should learn from her."

Hu Lianxin slowly stopped moving, stood up straight, her chest rising and falling slightly, and her cheeks flushed with a healthy blush.

She reached up and tucked the stray hairs that were clinging to her cheek behind her ear, returned to the barre, and picked up a towel to wipe the sweat from her forehead.

At that moment, the door to the practice room was gently pushed open from the outside.

The woman who entered was in her forties, wearing a beige knitted cardigan, with her short hair neatly tucked behind her ears, and carrying a folder in her hand.

She is the director of the admissions office of this training institution, surnamed Chen, and is also responsible for external liaison and casting for film crews.

The posture teacher saw her and nodded slightly.

Director Chen waved to her, signaling her to come out for a moment. The posture teacher then walked to the door, and the two exchanged a few words in hushed tones.

The trainees in the training room all glanced curiously in that direction, but through the door, they could only vaguely hear the words "audience," "Su Yu," and "they're calling for him over there."

The posture teacher smiled slightly after hearing this.

She turned and walked back to the practice room, her gaze sweeping around the room before finally settling on Hu Lianxin.

"Xiao Hu, come out here for a moment."

Hu Lianxin paused for a moment, put down the towel in her hand, and quickly walked to the door.

Several students in the practice room followed her back with their eyes. Some whispered to each other, but they were quickly silenced by a look from the posture teacher.

Hu Lianxin's heartbeat quickened slightly.

A while ago, the agency said that a film crew was coming to cast actors. After that, the agency notified several girls, including her, who had the best appearance, and said that if they were interested, the agency could help them submit their information.

Without much thought, she nodded and agreed, then submitted the required documents and a video of herself introducing herself.

To be honest, she didn't have high hopes, after all, it was Su Yu's new drama!

With Su Yu as the lead actress in the production, many established actresses in the industry are vying for this role. How can she, a nobody who hasn't even entered the entertainment industry, compare to him?

So she had the right mindset at the time: just consider it as making an impression, so that people in the industry, especially Su Yu, could have an impression of her face, and that would be good enough.

As for whether she could pass the primary election, she didn't dare to think about it at all.

But this time, Director Chen approached her, and in an instant, her previously calm heart was filled with turmoil.

"Teacher Chen, you wanted to see me?"

"Yes!" Director Chen exclaimed with delight. "Didn't we submit your resume to the 'Someday or One Day' production team for you? They just notified me that you passed the initial selection and they want you to have an audition on October 18th!"

Hu Lianxin blinked her big eyes, looking bewildered, then pointed at herself with a hint of disbelief in her voice.

"Huh? Me? I was chosen?"

"Yes! I'll give you their staff's contact information, so get ready!"

November 18th, Wednesday.

Hu Lianxin arrived at the audition location early.

Su Yu's studio is located in an office building in Chaoyang District, renting an entire floor. The largest conference room at the end of the corridor has been temporarily converted into an audition room.

When she received the notification that she had been selected, she was so excited that she almost couldn't sleep that night.

But now, standing here, looking through the half-open door at the people sitting in the rest area, her once-boiling heart suddenly cooled down.

A row of female celebrities she had only ever seen on television were sitting on the sofa in the rest area.

-

Such as Li Xin, Li Yitong, Zhang Jianing, Tang Yixin, etc.

Looking around, these people are either actresses with acting experience or students from various universities.

Without exception, they were all very beautiful.

Her appearance, which she usually takes pride in, is of no advantage here.

She glanced down at her outfit: a white shirt, dark jeans, a high ponytail, and makeup that made her look more mature than usual.

She had tried her best to make herself look closer to Huang Yuxuan's image as a career woman, but compared with the actresses in the rest area who had gone through countless auditions, she still seemed a bit green.

After receiving her number from the staff, Hu Lianxin found a quiet corner to sit down.

She had just taken the audition script out of her bag when another girl walked in through the door.

Hu Lianxin subconsciously looked up and her gaze stopped; she recognized the person at a glance.

She is Zhou, the female lead in the "Want to See You" music video.

Zhou glanced around the rest area and his gaze met Hu Lianxin's in the corner.

She nodded slightly, then walked straight over and naturally sat down in the empty seat next to Hu Lianxin.

"Are you here for an audition too?" Zhou turned his head, his tone tinged with curiosity.

"Yes." Hu Lianxin nodded.

"Which university are you from? I've never seen you before." Zhou's gaze lingered on her face for a moment.

Logically speaking, she should remember such a beautiful girl if she were from one of the top universities in Beijing.

Hu Lianxin smiled somewhat embarrassedly: "I'm actually still in high school. I only came to Beijing from Lingnan a month ago to attend a training institution."

Zhou's eyes lit up: "What a coincidence, I'm also from Lingnan."

"Really?" Hu Lianxin was a little surprised. She didn't expect to meet someone from her hometown at the audition.

The oppressive atmosphere created by the big stars in the rest area was somewhat diluted by this unexpected coincidence.

The two quickly introduced themselves and then began to chat quietly.

Time quickly came to ten o'clock.

As soon as the time came, the door at the end of the corridor opened.

A staff member poked his head out, holding a list in his hand, and called out to the rest area: "The auditions are starting. Please enter in order of your numbers."
