Huayu: The young actress is heavily dependent on me

The next day, Chen Li and Bai Mengyan arrived at the headquarters of Tangren Media early in the morning.

When he stepped out of the elevator, there were already several people sitting in the corridor waiting for auditions.

When Chen Li walked in, everyone looked over, and both men and women started talking about it.

"Wow, this guy is so handsome."

"I wonder what role they're auditioning for. Hopefully, we don't run into each other!"

"Hey girls, look! What a handsome guy!"

Chen Li glanced around, his gaze lingering for a moment on the faces of two old acquaintances.

One is Wang Yanlin, and the other is Zhang Ruoyun.

"Hey bro, are you here for an audition too?"

Wang Yanlin moved half a seat to the side, his tone carrying the natural familiarity typical of Northeasterners.

"Which role are you auditioning for? It's not Gu Xuanwu, is it?"

"Zhang Xianzong," Chen Li said.

"That's good, that's good," Wang Yanlin visibly relaxed, patting his chest.

"But to be honest, you're really good-looking. Are you from the Beijing Film Academy?"

"Yes, from the class of 13."

"Wang Yanlin from the Shanghai Theatre Academy," Wang Yanlin readily extended his hand, grinning.

"We're not competitors. If you manage to beat Zhang Xianzong later, we might even bump into each other on set."

"But to be honest, it's a good thing you didn't come here to test Gu Xuanwu, otherwise I would have made a wasted trip."

Chen Li smiled and was about to reply when a voice suddenly came from the side.

"Are you also from Beijing Film Academy?"

Chen Li turned her head, and Zhang Ruoyun was already standing next to her.

"Hello, Senior Brother Zhang," Chen Li nodded slightly.

"I've seen your portrayal of Zhou Weiguo before; you acted very well."

Zhang Ruoyun smiled and waved his hand:

"That's all in the past." He paused, looking at Chen Li with admiration.

"Are you here to test Zhang Xianzong?"

"right."

"Great job, I believe in you!" Zhang Ruoyun patted Chen Li on the shoulder.

"But I won't go easy on you, so we'll see how you perform!"

In the past, he would probably have paid extra attention to a web series with a decent script.

However, she already had a bad relationship with her father, Zhang Jian, and her father kept arguing with her about her salary, which led to a big fight between them.

Moreover, this character is just a supporting male role in a web series.

Since that's the case, it's not a big deal to give it to this junior.

So at this moment, the look in his eyes when he looked at Chen Li contained not only politeness, but also a genuine sense of unexpected relief.

"Excuse me, I'll go in now."

Zhang Ruoyun nodded, then turned and walked into the conference room.

Wang Yanlin and Chen Li were left alone in the corridor.

Wang Yanlin leaned closer and whispered:

"Zhang Ruoyun is a good person, it's just that his father is too controlling of him."

The two chatted for a few minutes, and after a while, a staff member poked his head out and called out to the list:

"Next, Chen Li."

"It's my turn, I'll go in first."

"Keep it up, bro."

Inside the room, Cai Yinong and Lin Yufen sat behind a long table.

"Sister K, right now Zhang Ruoyun is the most suitable candidate. If there are no other suitable candidates, even if Zhang Jian's salary is higher, we can only use him."

Lin Yufen handed a stack of documents to Cai Yinong.

"Hmm, but the next one named Chen Li should be pretty good. What do you think of him?"

"Do you know Sister K?"

"I guess so, it shouldn't disappoint me." Cai Yinong nodded, thinking to himself.

Logically speaking, since both Brother Hu and Jin Chen said this kid is good, he shouldn't be wrong...

Even if she's a little less good than Zhang Ruoyun, it's fine; the pay is cheaper!

Zhang Jian is such a shrew! He's been refusing to budge on his son's paycheck!

"Hello, Mr. Cai, hello, Director Lin," Chen Li stopped and gave a slight bow, neither humble nor arrogant.

"I am Chen Li, a student in the 2013 undergraduate class of the Performance Department at Beijing Film Academy."

Lin Yufen!

At that time, Tangren Media was still full of talent, with many good directors, actors, and behind-the-scenes personnel under its banner.

"Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" is one of the works directed by Lin Yufen, while "The Journey of Flower" and "Eternal Love" are even more well-known.

"That guy is so handsome!" Lin Yufen's eyes lit up when she saw Chen Li.

Chen Li had changed into a Republic of China military uniform at this time, looking dashing and handsome.

It perfectly matches the image of Zhang Xianzong in Lin Yufen's mind!

Cai Yinong, who was standing to the side, also smiled and nodded.

The thought of recruiting this handsome young man to Tangren Media in a year made Cai Yinong smile even more.

Chen Li looked at the two of them, and one of them nodded at him with satisfaction.

The other Cai Yinong looked at him with a smile, which made him feel a little uneasy.

Hey K, you wouldn't happen to have a crush on me, would you?

The way you're looking at me is creepy...

"Let's begin. This is what you'll be performing." Cai Yinong handed the script to Chen Li, then waved behind him.

"Chen Yao, come here, you're going to act out a scene with your classmate!"

Yao Mei is here too?

Chen Li looked up in surprise and saw Chen Yao walking over, also looking at him with surprise.

"Chen Li? How is it you?" Chen Yao's eyes widened, and she subconsciously took half a step back, almost dropping the prop handkerchief in her hand.

"I'm here to audition for the role of Chang Hsien-tsung."

"Zhang Xianzong?"

Isn't this the character's romantic partner?

Am I going to have to act opposite Chen Li?

Chen Yao's heart started racing. After all, Chen Li was the most handsome boy in her class, and she usually didn't dare to talk to him much.

"Hey, you two are practically staring at each other like crazy. Can you tone it down a bit and get started?" Cai Yinong chuckled, a little smug.

These two have a chance!

Chen Li, you'd better come into my bowl!

Five minutes later.

"Okay, I've finished reading. Let's begin!"

Putting down the script, Chen Li looked at Chen Yao.

Seeing that Chen Li was ready in no time, Chen Yao suddenly became a little nervous.

At this moment, Chen Li's gaze towards Chen Li became affectionate, perfectly embodying the role of Zhang Xianzong, the sycophant.

He then squatted down, took Chen Yao's ankle in his hand, and gently massaged it.

"Zhang Xianzong, why are you so good to me?"

On the other side, Chen Yao felt a tremor in her heart upon noticing Chen Li's actions.

However, she quickly got into character and whispered,

"because I love you."

Chen Li's eyes flickered, he released his hand from Chen Yao's feet, raised his head, looked at Chen Yao affectionately, and said firmly.

"But I don't love you!"

Chen Yao was slightly taken aback, then said firmly.

"I know, but it's okay. As long as I can take care of you and stay with you, I'll be content."

As if hurt by Chen Yao's words, Chen Li pursed his lips, paused, and then confessed with even deeper emotion.

Chen Li's eyes already had the "expressive eyes" effect, and with the "Villain Master" buff he received yesterday, he was practically the image of a deeply affectionate, simp villain.

offstage.

"This is Zhang Xianzong as I imagined him!"

Lin Yufen's eyes were filled with excitement; she was almost about to make the decision on the spot and sign a contract with Chen Li.

aside.

Cai Yinong was also a little surprised, as she had heard that Chen Li was very outstanding.

But I didn't expect it to be this good!

This further strengthened Cai Yinong's determination to poach Chen Li!
