Chinese Entertainment: Top-Tier Boyfriends of Young Actresses

Chapter 93 Audition

"Teacher Li, go back and wait for our notification."

Director Chen Xiaoming closed the documents in front of him, his tone indifferent.

Li Yitong smiled and nodded, then stood up and bowed: "Okay, thank you, teachers."

It has to be said that Li Yitong's smile is indeed beautiful. When she smiles, she looks very sweet, and you can't tell that she was born in 90.

Therefore, she was very adept at portraying Huang Yuxuan's sunny and cheerful personality.

But once the scene shifts to Chen Yunru, her sweet temperament becomes an obstacle.

Her portrayal of Chen Yunru always carries an undeniable brightness, lacking that aloof and melancholic quality.

After Li Yitong left, Su Yu leaned back in his chair and rubbed his temples.

Li Xin's situation is exactly the opposite.

When she played Chen Yunru, her cautious, self-conscious, and sensitive state was quite convincing, but when she played Huang Yuxuan, she seemed too restrained and lacked that infectious, sun-like charm.

"How is it? Still not satisfied?" Huo Xiaolan sat next to him, tapping her pen lightly twice on Li Yitong's file.

"I'd say she's barely satisfactory. I'll add her to the shortlist; if we really have no other choice in the end, we can choose her." Su Yu sighed.

"If we really can't find a suitable one, we'll have to change the script and change the role that was originally played by one person to be played by two of them. Anyway, they do look a bit similar, so it's not that awkward."

Huo Xiaolan nodded, ticked off Li Yitong's information on the back, and casually added, "However, this will increase the cost considerably, and the original script will also need major revisions."

"I know. So this is a last resort." Su Yu rubbed his temples, gestured with his chin towards the door, and said, "Next."

The next person to come in was Tang Yixin.

When she pushed the door open and walked in, Su Yu subconsciously sat up a little straighter.

There was nothing that could be done; she was Zhang Ruoyun's girlfriend.

Old Zhang called personally, his tone a little embarrassed, saying, "Yixin really liked the script after reading it, could you give her a chance to try?"

Su Yu could only nod.

To be honest, Tang Yixin's audition performance was not bad; she had a solid foundation in delivering lines and her emotional transitions were natural.

But when Su Yu watched her stand in front of him reciting her lines, Zhang Ruoyun's face, which was smiling like a husky, would uncontrollably appear in his mind.

"How is it?" Chen Xiaoming turned his head and asked.

Su Yu thought for a moment: "Let's keep it as a backup option."

He paused, then lowered his voice and added, "Although she acted really well, the thought of her being Lao Zhang's girlfriend and playing a couple with her makes me feel incredibly awkward."

Huo Xiaolan, standing to the side, couldn't help but smile slightly.

She also ticked a box on the back of Tang Yixin's information, then turned to the next page and read out the next name.

"Next up, Hu Lianxin."

Upon hearing the name, Su Yu perked up and leaned forward from the back of his chair.

He had only invited the girl to the audition out of curiosity, so naturally he was going to pay close attention and take a good look.

The door opened.

When Hu Lianxin walked in, Su Yu's gaze lingered on her for a moment.

I must say, she is indeed stunningly beautiful.

Today she wore a simple white shirt with dark jeans, her hair was tied in a high ponytail, and she wore a slightly mature makeup look.

Her features were delicate yet understated, with prominent brow bones and a high nose bridge. Her eyes held a confident gaze, revealing a composure beyond her years.

She has a mature look; although she's only a teenager, she already has quite a bit of charm.

Su Yu had to admit that her face was naturally suited for the big screen.

Meanwhile, Hu Lianxin was also secretly observing Su Yu, who was sitting in the middle of the judges' panel.

I have to say, he looks even better in person than on TV.

But what made her heart race the most was Su Yu's eyes. The moment she met Su Yu's gaze, her heart began to pound uncontrollably.

"Let's begin." Chen Xiaoming raised his chin.

Hu Lianxin took a deep breath and closed her eyes. When she opened them again, her entire demeanor had changed, and then she began her performance.

After she finished performing that scene from the script, Su Yu and Chen Xiaoming exchanged a glance.

Chen Xiaoming nodded, a rare occurrence, and then asked, "I noticed that your portrayals of Huang Yuxuan and Chen Yunru are quite different. When you played Huang Yuxuan, your whole demeanor was open, while when you played Chen Yunru, you were more reserved, even adjusting your gaze and breathing."

How did you come up with this solution?

Hu Lianxin calmed her breathing and organized her thoughts before speaking: "I think Huang Yuxuan and Chen Yunru may share the same face, but their temperaments are completely different."

"Huang Yuxuan is outgoing. She is independent, confident, and used to being in control of everything, so her body language should be open. When she speaks, she looks directly at the other person, making people feel that she is a capable person."

"But Chen Yunru is the opposite. She has been neglected and ignored for a long time and is used to hiding herself, so her body language should be restrained."

She didn't dare look the other person in the eye when she spoke, because she was afraid that people would see through her and realize that she was actually very vulnerable.

She paused, glancing nervously at everyone, "So I use this method to separate them."

After a brief silence, Su Yu smiled.

"You understand very well, you're very good." His tone carried an undisguised admiration.

This girl is indeed very talented in her acting style, no wonder she was able to stand out in her past life. If she hadn't had that accident, she might have been among the top young actresses.

He leaned back in his chair, his gaze lingering on her for a second longer, before changing the subject: "You're not signed with a management company, are you?"

Hu Lianxin paused for a moment, then shook her head: "No."

"Would you like to come to our studio?"

Hu Lianxin was stunned on the spot.

She blinked, as if she hadn't heard clearly, or as if she had heard clearly but couldn't believe it.

She subconsciously looked at Su Yu.

Su Yu's expression didn't seem like he was joking.

Huo Xiaolan also gave Su Yu a surprised look, as Su Yu had not told her about this before.

Su Yu's decision to sign Hu Lianxin was certainly not because the girl was actually good-looking and met his aesthetic standards.

Instead, he felt that Hu Lianxin was indeed very talented in acting, and he thought that if she could be properly guided, she might really shine.

Moreover, with Sister Huo around, Hu Lianxin will definitely not repeat the same mistake.

Su Yu knew Huo Xiaolan too well. Huo Xiaolan really couldn't control his love life. After all, he couldn't just let him break up with one of his girlfriends, could he?

But precisely because of his "precedent," Huo Xiaolan will definitely be very strict in this regard when signing new artists.

Now that Hu Lianxin is under Sister Huo's supervision, she no longer has the chance to make mistakes.

Thinking about it this way, Su Yu felt that he was quite noble.

He had helped the girl out of a way.

Sign her into the studio, give her a good start, so she won't have to take those detours or fall into those pitfalls again, and those storms and controversies from her previous life won't happen again.

Seeing that Hu Lianxin was still in a daze, Su Yu added, "What do you think?"
