There was no blood or special effects at the scene.

There was only a long table and four silent onlookers in the room.

When Lu Yu coughed, everyone thought he was really spitting blood.

He knelt on one knee, his body slightly hunched, his hand covering his chest, his knuckles trembling uncontrollably.

But there was no pain on his face, and no remorse in his eyes.

"I cultivated the Path of Ruthlessness for five hundred years, my only regret is that I didn't eliminate you, this variable, back then!"

He never regretted it until his death.

The last word fell like a sigh of resentment.

Lu Yu leaned forward and fell to the ground.

They moved decisively, completely unafraid of hurting themselves if they fell.

After falling to the ground, he did not get up immediately, but remained in a lying position.

He didn't stand up until the director yelled "That's enough."

"Where did Zhou Tong find you?" Director Chen Ming took off his glasses, wiped the lenses, put them back on, and looked at Lu Yu seriously.

"You've really never acted before?"

With such great physical attributes, coupled with this immersive acting style that leaves no trace of performance.

There are still such hidden gems in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Lu Yu shook her head. The photos taken in her previous life probably don't count.

"I only had a two-hour cameo role in director Zhou Tong's short drama crew."

Chen Ming stood up from behind the long table, walked to Lu Yu, and circled around him.

Then he turned to the screenwriter: "Teacher Zhang, what do you think?"

Screenwriter Zhang Xuan snapped out of her reverie, picked up the pen she had dropped on the table, and looked down at the character analysis in front of her.

This character is a paranoid villain, and she didn't give her much screen time.

But didn't Chen Ming notice that the actor who just auditioned changed his lines?

Zhang Xuan looked at Lu Yu and asked, "The original last line of this scene was, 'I have cultivated the Path of Ruthlessness for five hundred years, but in the end I can't bear to kill you.'"

Why did you change that line?

Chen Ming then slapped his forehead: "Yeah, you actually changed the lyrics just now? I didn't even notice the problem."

He turned back to the long table, picked up the script from in front of Zhang Xuan, and said, "The last line is indeed wrong."

Lu Yu calmly said, "Director Chen, Teacher Zhang, I think that based on the character's background, his obsessive pursuit of immortality for hundreds of years, even at the cost of using his disciples as furnaces, is very important."

Even if he were to die, he would never say something like "I can't bear to kill my disciple".

Zhang Xuan nodded: "That's right, this character should be very pure."

Since he has his own path to pursue, he should stick to it to the end and not have any regrets.

"Your revised line is brilliant, he's the one." Zhang Xuan said succinctly, "Director Chen, sign it."

Chen Ming looked at Lu Yu and asked again, "Is your schedule okay?"

"No problem, I've basically finished my university studies," Lu Yu said.

"As for the salary... after all, you are a complete newcomer with no acting experience. Although you are an important supporting role, our show is a web series with a small investment, so we can only offer you... "

Chen Ming gave a number that was a little higher than Lu Yu had expected.

Although it's not a lot, it's enough to temporarily relieve his financial pressure right now.

"No problem." Lu Yu asked a question she was concerned about, "When will I join the crew?"

"Next month," Chen Ming patted him on the shoulder, "there will be a script reading before filming starts, and your assistant will contact you then."

"You really haven't studied acting?" He was still a little skeptical.

Lu Yu thought for a moment, and to avoid trouble, she made up an excuse: "I used to be in the school's drama club."

Chen Ming suddenly realized: "No wonder, having stage experience makes a difference. Your school's drama club is quite good."

Lu Yu smiled but didn't reply.

He walked out of the audition room, where a few actors were still waiting for their auditions in the hallway.

When they saw Lu Yu come out, all their eyes turned to him, trying to glean some information from his face.

Lu Yu's expression was calm and indifferent, making it impossible to tell whether the audition result was good or bad.

But soon, the girl who had been holding the list and calling out to people came out and said:

"Director Zhang said that the role of the male lead's master has already been cast, and you can only try out for other roles next."

The expressions of the actors in the corridor changed.

The actor with the light brown hair looked the worst.

He turned and stared at Lu Yu's retreating figure as she walked towards the elevator, his eyes filled with resentment.

"What?!" After Lu Yu entered the elevator, he finally couldn't help but explode, lowering his voice to the person next to him and saying, "So what if he's handsome? Who knows if he's got connections?"

The person next to him didn't respond this time.

We're all actors, so we can all see something from each other.

In addition, given her outstanding appearance, it's normal for her to receive some preferential treatment.

It's a world that judges people by their appearance these days.

Especially for those in their line of work.

Having a good face and a good figure gives you a natural advantage and a significant edge.

The elevator doors slowly closed, and Lu Yu leaned against the elevator, watching the floor numbers jump down one by one.

He didn't feel particularly excited or agitated.

I thought to myself, I'm going back to that circle again.

However, this time he wants to be himself and focus on playing each role well.

When the elevator reached the first floor, Lu Yu took out her phone to check the time.

Just after 11 a.m., the audition went much faster than he had expected.

The buyer who wanted to purchase the watch from the salted fish shop has not been able to contact him since.

The meeting was supposed to be in person in the afternoon, so he wasn't in a hurry.

Lu Yu opened WeChat and sent a message to Zhou Tong: "I passed the audition, thank you Director Zhou, I'll treat you to dinner another day."

Soon, Zhou Tong sent several fireworks emojis in a row, followed by a voice message:

"I told you you could do it! Lu Yu, let me tell you, if you act well in this drama, you'll never lack roles in the future!"

Director Chen is very selective when it comes to casting. You're only the second person I know he's made a decision on the spot; the first one is now a TV King!

Lu Yu replied with a polite remark, put away her phone, and prepared to find a place to eat first.

Tan Yao was idly scrolling through his phone at the elevator entrance.

The elevators in this office building are notoriously slow; it's a building from the 90s, and the elevators are older than the building itself.

He waited there for almost two minutes.

The number light above the elevator door slowly jumped from 12 to 5, paused for a moment on the 5th floor, and then continued downwards.

With a ding, the elevator doors opened.

Tan Yao was about to step inside when he looked up and stopped in his tracks.

The person who came out of the elevator was half a head taller than him; anyone who had seen him once would never forget his appearance.

Lu Yu.

When Tan Yao recognized Lu Yu, he instinctively wanted to raise his hand to greet him.

After all, I've seen them several times before.

Whether at a bar or a dinner party, he was always by Song Xijin's side.

Back then, if Lu Yu just glanced at you, he would be eager to come over and serve you tea and wine, showing concern and care.

He called him "Brother Tan" more affectionately than anyone else.

Although Tan Yao didn't have any particular fondness for Lu Yu, he wouldn't completely ignore him.

He had barely raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and before he could even lift his hand, Lu Yu had already walked past him.

look steadily forward.

He acted as if no one else was around.
