The drama Chen Kun recommended to Jiang Feng was called "The Story of a Noble Family," adapted from the novel of the same name by Zhang Henshui, a writer of the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School during the Republic of China era.

Even before filming began, the drama had already been reserved for prime time on CCTV-8, aiming to rival last year's hits like "The Grand Mansion Gate" and "Romance in the Rain," making it a definite blockbuster drama of the year.

Jiang Feng naturally didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.

Upon learning that the drama would not begin filming for another three months, he immediately expressed his willingness to audition and thanked Chen Kun.

The next day, Jiang Feng drove his Jetta to the audition location for "The Story of a Noble Family".

He has already sent Zhang Songwen to take his driver's license test.

As his agent and assistant, it wouldn't be good if he couldn't drive.

Besides taking her driver's license test, Zhang Songwen hasn't forgotten her main job during this time, and has been helping Jiang Feng contact the film crew.

He visited so many film crews, and although he didn't get any roles himself, he managed to get the contact information of many assistant directors, directors, and even producers. He still has some connections in the industry.

Just a few days ago, Zhang Songwen somehow got in touch with the production team of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" and helped him get an audition opportunity for a role.

That character was named Wei Bi, Zhu Jiuzhen's cousin and Wu Qingying's senior brother. He had ambiguous relationships with both women and was not a good person. In the end, he was drained of his blood and died by the Green-Winged Bat King Wei Yixiao.

Jiang Feng had read the original novel of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" and was not interested in the character. He had few scenes and was not likable.

He felt that with his current fame, even if he couldn't play Zhang Wuji, he could at least play Song Qingshu.

Zhang Songwen thought he was being a bit delusional, but she still tried to help him.

Surprisingly, Lai Shuiqing, the director of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", actually agreed!

Lai Shuiqing originally did not intend to give such an important role as Song Qingshu to Jiang Feng.

However, Jiang Feng has recently become very popular online with his song "Lilac Flower", so Lai Shuiqing decided to give him an audition opportunity and see how he performs first.

However, the audition will have to wait until Jiang Feng returns after filming "Kill Bill".

It's a pity Jiang Feng's album hasn't been released yet. If the album becomes a hit, he might be able to win over not only Song Qingshu, but also Zhang Wuji.

In addition, Zhang Songwen is also trying to get in touch with Zhang Dahuzi to help Jiang Feng get a role in the "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" series that Zhang is producing.

Jiang Feng had only one request: that he absolutely not play Yun Zhonghe.

It is said that Jin Yong's cousin, Xu Zhimo, used the pen name Yun Zhonghe.

I wonder what grudge these two cousins ​​hold against each other. In Jin Yong's novels, cousins ​​usually don't have good endings, like Wei Bi, whom Jiang Feng looks down on.

Jiang Feng had just arrived at the audition location for "The Story of a Noble Family" when he ran into two acquaintances.

Liu Xiaoli and her daughter Liu Yifei.

"Aunt Liu, Qianqian, you're here too."

"Jiang Feng, what brings you here?"

Upon seeing Jiang Feng, Liu Yifei excitedly exclaimed, prompting Liu Xiaoli to playfully scold her:

"Sissi, mind your image."

Then, smiling, he said to Jiang Feng:

"Xiao Jiang, are you here for an audition too?"

Jiang Feng nodded: "Yes, you're here for an audition too?"

"Yes, Mom came to audition for me."

Liu Yifei spoke with a proud tone, looking at Jiang Feng with an air of smug satisfaction, as if to say, "I'm so amazing!"

Jiang Feng thought she was really amazing. She was only fifteen years old this year and hadn't even been admitted to the Beijing Film Academy yet, but she had already come to the film crew for an audition.

If Zhang Songwen knew this, wouldn't he be furious?

He asked curiously, "Sissi, what role did you audition for?"

Liu Yifei innocently said, "The role I auditioned for is called Bai Xiuzhu, and she is the second female lead in the drama."

"..."

Jiang Feng was speechless.

Not to mention Zhang Songwen, even he felt like vomiting blood.

He acted in three dramas, but the roles he auditioned for were just minor supporting roles for whom he didn't even know who the male lead was.

If it weren't for the fact that this drama is a major production by CCTV, he wouldn't have wanted to audition.

As it turns out, Liu Yifei hadn't filmed a single drama before, and she immediately landed the second female lead role!

Is there any reason?

Liu Yifei smiled happily and said:

"Jiang Feng, the fortune teller said you are my benefactor. Meeting you today, I'm sure I'll pass the audition."

Hearing her daughter say this, Liu Xiaoli's heart stirred, and she couldn't help but glance at Jiang Feng again.

Is this really fate?

Otherwise, why would I run into Jiang Feng here of all places?

Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoli smiled and said to Jiang Feng:

"Jiang Feng, since you and Qianqian are so destined to be together, and you're her benefactor, then why don't you bless her and give her some good luck?"

"Consecration?" Jiang Feng was taken aback. "How is consecration performed?"

He once thought that if he couldn't make it in the future, he would become a charlatan, take a bunch of female celebrities as his goddaughters, and then consecrate them.

The key issue is that Liu Yifei is too young.

You can't turn on this light!

He didn't want to go inside and operate the sewing machine.

Liu Xiaoli smiled and said, "Just pat Qianqian's head."

"Uh, I see. Okay then..."

Jiang Feng then realized that he had been overthinking things.

He pretended to breathe on his palm, then gently patted Liu Yifei's head.

"Alright, best of luck with your audition!"

Liu Yifei chuckled:

"You too! By the way, Jiang Feng, what role did you audition for?"

"Well……"

Jiang Feng was too shy to speak.

Fortunately, the staff eased his embarrassment and called Liu Yifei to audition.

"Jiang Feng, I'm going to the audition now, bye-bye."

Liu Yifei waved to Jiang Feng.

"come on!"

Jiang Fengchong gave her a thumbs-up.

After a while, Liu Yifei came out after her audition.

Jiang Feng asked, "How is it?"

"The director told me to go home and wait for further notice," Liu Yifei said worriedly. "Could it be that I didn't pass the audition?"

Jiang Feng comforted them, saying, "That's how auditions are usually done. Actors are generally told to go home and wait for a notification. Only a very few are notified of the results on the spot."

"So that's how it is..."

Liu Yifei felt a little more at ease.

Jiang Feng laughed and said, "Don't worry, with my help, you'll definitely pass the audition."

"Hehe, then I'll take your good wishes! I also wish you success in your audition, so we can act together!"

Liu Yifei smiled brightly.

Liu Xiaoli said, "Jiang Feng, Qianqian and I will be leaving now. Good luck."

"Okay, Aunt Liu, take care."

Liu Yifei wanted to chat with Jiang Feng a little longer, but she didn't dare disobey her mother's orders, so she had to leave reluctantly.

She walked quite a distance away, then suddenly turned around and shouted something.

"Jiang Feng, keep it up!"

Jiang Feng patted his chest and made a victory sign.

After Liu Yifei and her daughter left, Jiang Feng waited a while longer before it was finally his turn to audition.

Director Li Dawei had him try out a scene.

Jiang Feng performed as consistently as ever.

Li Dawei was very satisfied with him.

She's good-looking, a good actress, and I've heard she's also a somewhat famous singer, so she already has a certain fan base.

He felt it was a waste that such a good actor was only given a supporting role.

Just then, the assistant director leaned close to Li Dawei's ear and whispered a few words.

Li Dawei's smile froze instantly, and his gaze towards Jiang Feng changed from admiration to regret.

"Did you play Jian Chen in 'The Storm Riders'?"

"Yes," Jiang Feng answered truthfully.

Li Dawei then asked, "Did you also play Lao Ai in 'A Step into the Past' and Xue Ying in 'Xiao Shiyi Lang'?"

Jiang Feng had already guessed what he wanted to say, and smiled wryly:

"That's right, I acted it all out."

Li Dawei sighed and said bluntly:

"To be honest, there's nothing wrong with your image or acting skills, but your portrayals of Jian Chen, Lao Ai, and Xue Ying are just too deeply ingrained in people's minds. It's easy for the audience to be pulled out of the story when they see you. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Understood, Director Li. I'll take my leave now."

Jiang Feng turned and walked out.

This was his first failed audition, but he didn't take this small setback to heart.

As Jiang Feng was leaving, he heard Li Dawei sigh softly to the assistant director:

"Sigh, what a promising talent, it's a pity he's stuck with a narrow acting style, he's destined to never achieve anything great in this life."
