Huayu 02: The Days of Extreme Pulling and Rolling with the Fairy

The argument inside lasted only a few minutes before Nicholas Tse came out with his assistant and agent, their faces cold.

He forced a smile, greeted the other actors, and then left in a hurry.

The assistant director came out and announced: "Yang Guo, auditioning actor number 2, come in."

Nie Yuan shrugged: "I'll go first."

Compared to the outward harmony among actresses, there are hidden undercurrents of open and covert attacks.

The male actors' situation is also complicated.

Chen Kun kept his eyes closed and remained silent, while a subtle, somewhat sordid atmosphere seemed to exist between Huang and Nie.

Like Chen Kun, Xie Jin remained outside their conflict, closing her eyes to rest.

Nie Yuan went inside.

The remaining three men huddled together.

Huang Xiaoming started the conversation, and the three chatted idly for a while.

  

People deliberately avoid discussing the audition for Yang Guo; everyone has their own methods for doing this.

If we can't talk about serious matters, all we can talk about are random things. After three sentences, the topic inevitably veers towards women.

Huang Xiaoming asked in a low voice, "Who do you think should play Little Dragon Girl?"

Chen Kun debuted earlier and has a more thorough understanding of many things.

Chen Kun whispered, "I think Wang Fei, Yang Yuying, and Sun Li are most likely just a smokescreen by Big Beard."

Xie Jin nodded and glanced at them: "Zhang Baizhi and Jun Ji-hyun are definitely just there for publicity; their Mandarin is a major weakness."

That makes sense.

Huang Xiaoming must have heard some news from the company.

Lowering his voice, he said, "Director Yu has his eye on Sun Feifei, so I think she has a good chance."

Just as the group was whispering amongst themselves, Xie Jin threw out a killer question: "Liu Xiqing is auditioning too... Could she be auditioning for Little Dragon Girl?"

(Yes, there's no doubt it's her)

Chen Kun uttered a few words that sent chills down everyone's spines: "The only female role we're auditioning for today is Little Dragon Girl..."

........

........

"Speaking of Teacher Liu, he was born in 55, almost fifty now... This Little Dragon Girl..."

The sight made them all turn pale. Holy crap, that really is their aunt! That's their great-aunt!

Xie Jin just hoped that her butterfly wings wouldn't flap in the wrong direction, especially if it really was Teacher Liu playing Little Dragon Girl.

Xie Jin could tear Zhang Da Hu Zi apart with her bare hands... she'd rather break the contract!

·······

·······

Half an hour later, Nie Yuan and Chen Kun came out, neither saying yes nor no.

Only Xie Jin and Huang Xiaoming remained.

"Enter at number 4"

"I'm going now."

As soon as Xie Jin entered the room, Director Yu, Big Beard, and Mr. Jin were already sitting there.

The bearded man looked serious, and when he met Xie Jin's gaze, he blinked almost imperceptibly.

Before Yu Min could speak, Mr. Jin looked Xie Jin up and down with an interesting expression.

"Xiao Xie Jin, could you please take off your shirt?"

Xie Jin was taken aback. Shouldn't the director select a scene, she act it out, give feedback, and then wait for the news?

Why did she take her clothes off...?

He glanced at the bearded man, whose eyes also looked blank.

Mr. Jin had already said it, and although Xie Jin didn't understand it at all, she immediately did as he said.

The actresses outside the door seemed to have heard the sounds inside, and they covered their mouths and exchanged glances.

Xun Ge, who was closest to the door, gently tapped the door with his foot, and it immediately opened a small crack.

The assistant director was about to turn it off when Xun Ge glared at him and said, "Go away!"

"They're off! They're really off!"

As soon as the sound came out, the actresses all gathered around.

Xie Jin took off his shirt, revealing a muscular physique. If he looked scholarly when he was dressed, he now looked extremely wild.

But these muscles weren't built for the role.

Xie Jin is simply addicted to weightlifting. Anyone who trains can understand that once you get hooked on this kind of training, if you don't train for a while every day, you feel like your body isn't activated and you can't do anything right.

The best part is that after a workout each day, when my mind goes blank, I can eat whatever I want without feeling guilty.

Especially when I look in the mirror and admire my engorged muscles, I feel incredibly beautiful...

Mr. Jin stood up unsteadily, circled Xie Jin once, and muttered to himself, "Nice height."

"Ji Zhong, Xiao Yu, come here."

Mr. Jin patted Xie Jin on the shoulder: "Xiao Xie, roll up your trouser legs, show your thighs, and tighten them up."

...How embarrassing...

Mr. Jin pointed at Xie Jin: "Do you know what this is called? Tiger's back, wasp waist, bear's shoulders, ape's arms, horse's legs. In ancient times, this was the selection standard for the Imperial Guards, the Inner Guards, and the palace's ceremonial guards."

"If you were born in the Han Dynasty, you might be a palace guard. In the Ming Dynasty, you'd be wearing a flying fish robe and carrying an embroidered spring knife!"

"This is the kind of young hero I want; he has to have a wild spirit."

Big Beard and Xie Jin exchanged a glance. Big Beard hadn't expected that before he could even make a move, Xie Jin had already caught Mr. Jin's eye.

They originally planned to announce it during the next round of auditions, but unexpectedly, Mr. Kim took a liking to it?

A lucky accident?

Xie Jin heard a sound, turned her head slightly, and suddenly noticed several small heads at the door...

Several people were still covering their mouths and laughing. Xun Ge had a lewd look in his eyes and was whispering and patting each other. You could tell from their actions that they weren't saying anything nice.

These are all things children shouldn't listen to...

Xie Jin's world has collapsed.

The big hamster couldn't squeeze in and was extremely anxious: "Let me see! Let me see! I've never seen anything like it before!"

Someone said, "You two are so close, go back and have him show it to you privately. Let the older women take a look for now."

"Me! Me! I want to see it too!"

Jun Ji-hyun kept repeating the same phrase: "Shit, shit, aren't you Chinese supposed to be very conservative? Ugh~"

Zhang Bozhi bit her lower lip: "The mainland is so good... the mainland is so great..."

···········

···········

Xie Jin's sense of shame has reached its peak. Are you guys not going to prepare for the audition?

What kind of looks are those?

Damn it! You guys weren't saying a word just now, but now that the conversation is turning dirty, you're all all smiles!

"Sir, may I...may I wear it?"

Grandpa Jin glanced at the doorway, then at Xie Jin: "If you're going to play a young hero, why are you afraid of being caught by a beauty's eye? People of the martial world don't concern themselves with such formalities. Go ahead and put it on."

Mr. Jin was very satisfied with Xie Jin's appearance, but still needed to see his acting skills in dramatic scenes: "Xiao Yu, let's do the audition."

Director Yu picked up the form: "Is there a problem with the part about resolving inner conflicts at Chongyang Palace?"

Xie Jin looked at the actress outside the door: "No! Can any teacher help me with the props?"

Zhang Jizhong coughed and said, "I'll dress you up as Little Dragon Girl."

Σ(°ロ°)？ ？ ？ Are you saying that again? ？

The bearded man gave Xie Jin a look that said, "You have to believe me," and Xie Jin went crazy.

Director Zhang! Can I please not invest? If you're short of money, you don't have to personally take charge!

Get the hell out of here!

Get out of here!! Don't stand up!!

It's fucking hard to earn money, and it's fucking awful.

Zhang Jizhong lowered his voice: "Don't worry, I'm here."

ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ! !

Director Yu never expected that the bearded man could actually help Xie Jin with a segment.

Sure, it'll be good to see how well the actors get into character under pressure.

········

········

Director Yu then introduced a scene: "In the rear hall of Chongyang Palace, flickering candles illuminated a scene of utter devastation. Little Dragon Girl, severely injured and weak, sat leaning against the wall, her white robes stained with blood. Yang Guo, with his severed arm, wielded a sword."

The bearded man walked to the center of the room, collapsed to the ground, his eyes cold and beautiful. Severely injured and weak, he looked at Xie Jin with despair and a hint of hope in his heart.

Σ(°ロ°)！ ！ I'm going to throw up!
