After the appointment was made, Jiang Xiao hung up the phone and took back the antique mobile phone. After thinking about it for a while, he finally remembered some information.

In the second half of his junior year, he did audition for a movie, and successfully passed the preliminary and re-examinations, but failed in the final examination, which was a big blow to him at the time.

It seems that this audition is the final audition, and I have to say that the timing couldn't have come at a better time.

I still remember that the role he was auditioning for seemed to be the role of the younger brother among three brothers and sisters. His character was very silent, like a shadow, but his heart was very rich, his eyes were very smart, and he was mixed with a complex temperament.

He is probably a teenager who is silent on the surface but has his own thoughts on the inside. He is in adolescence.

In my memory, the reason why Jiang Xiao failed the audition may be because he had little experience at the time and his performance was very immature.

At that time, it seemed that even the film director had bluntly told him that he was quite suitable in terms of appearance, but his basic performance skills were not very satisfactory.

Regarding one point, Jiang Xiao had to admit it.

It was also lucky that he was admitted to the Chinese Opera in the first place, but... what should he say?

It's the kind of thing that is great in a small place like your hometown, but when you go to a bigger place, it gradually becomes ordinary.

It can be said that he has never experienced any setbacks since he was a child. He is still called "other people's children" by his neighbors in his hometown, and he has unknowingly developed an overconfident self-confidence.

Therefore, when I tried it for the first time and realized that I was not as good as I thought, my mentality was a little broken.

Normally, my academic performance is basically the type that always falls behind in the class. I don’t have much presence and I am very transparent.

It is precisely because of this that Jiang Xiao's strong self-esteem makes Jiang Xiao want to prove himself again, so that in the process, his temperament gradually becomes a bit withdrawn and extreme.

It is true that some things can only be understood after they are truly experienced. This is also the reason why he leisurely understood the moment he gave up being an actor.

Now, of course, he is no longer the same Jiang Xiao as before. If the scapegoat can continue to play its role, he will surely be able to truly realize his dream.

However, he has given up his persistence and will not pursue results excessively. Perhaps enjoying the process with his heart is what he should really do.

…………

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

Jiang Xiao, who was wearing a white mask, a white shirt and black casual pants, showed up at the xxx hotel in Beijing on time as promised.

As for why he had to wear a white mask, it was for no other reason than that the S.A.R.S. had made people panic recently, so he naturally had to be careful. After all, Beijing was a place that experienced quite a lot of trouble.

Before coming here, he saw many people wearing masks after going out, and he suddenly realized this based on the time.

Putting all this aside, Jiang Xiao came to the hotel and found the right place. After giving his name, he was led directly to a room next to the audition room by a staff member.

Then, he also found that there were many people inside, both men and women, and at least half of them were wearing masks. It didn't look like they were here for an audition, but more like they were here to see a doctor.

Then he didn't recognize most of the people, or rather, the only familiar face he could recognize was a woman named Zhang Jingchu who was not wearing a mask and was reading a book.

Yes, that’s Zhang Jingchu.

Speaking of which, in the movie "Peacock" that he was going to audition for, it was not this one who got the heroine role in his memory. If history does not change, it should still be the other person.

Of course, these did not affect him personally. While still scanning, Jiang Xiao found that there were basically no empty seats in the room, and there was only one seat next to Zhang Jingchu, whom he knew.

If it were Naomasa at this time, he might be embarrassed to sit next to the girl, but of course he doesn't have this problem now.

So without thinking, he walked over and took off the mask, put it away and said, "Um, can I sit here?"

"Of course, sit down!"

Seeing the people coming in leisurely, and after a handsome boy asked this question, Zhang Jingchu naturally couldn't let others sit if there was an empty seat, so she nodded immediately.

In this way, after the boy sat down, she didn't know if it was because he was different from the others, which made her suddenly curious, so she took the initiative and said in a low voice: "Hello, my name is Zhang Jingchu.

The first time we met."

"Oh, hello, this is the first time I meet Zhang Jingchu. My name is Jiang Xiao."

Although he did not expect Zhang Jingchu to take the initiative to speak, Jiang Xiao responded quickly and also said his name.

"Jiang Xiao? Is it Xiao Sheng's Xiao?"

Zhang Jingchu asked.

"No, it's a joke. Of course, I am not a joke, ha!"

Jiang Xiao, who had made a fool of himself, used a little humor to liven up the atmosphere in order to avoid awkward conversations.

Otherwise, he would use a more harmonious "laughter" to introduce himself.

It has to be said that his mentality has changed, and his temperament seems to have changed a lot. In the past, it was probably unlikely that he would behave like this.

"Pfft, you are really interesting."

Caught off guard, Zhang Jingchu couldn't hold back her smile after hearing such words.

I also feel that this Jiang Xiao is indeed a unique person.

Hearing this, Jiang Xiao himself, who shrugged slightly, did not respond to Zhang Jingchu with words, his actions were enough to express his feelings.

"Jiang Xiao, can I ask if you are studying acting?"

After laughing, Zhang Jingchu changed the topic and asked again.

"Yes, I...I'm still in school, Chinese Opera, Department of Acting."

Jiang Xiao, who almost said that I was your junior, finally changed his words in time. After all, this person is not famous at all now. Although he knew that the other party seemed to be a senior in the ninth grade, he couldn't just say it.

"Yeah? Are you from the Chinese Theater Academy? Then we are still alumni. I am also a 97-year-old directing major. Judging from my age, I should be considered your senior, right?"

I was a little surprised that Jiang Xiao turned out to be Zhang Jingchu from the Chinese drama, and I felt a lot closer to her.

"Really? That's a coincidence. She is indeed a senior, and I am a junior at level 00."

In order not to reveal any flaws, Jiang Xiao still had to perform what was necessary.

"I didn't expect to meet my junior here. Is it Gao Weiqiang for the role you auditioned for?"

Zhang Jingchu, who had done her homework and had some knowledge of the main characters in the movie, jumped right in.

"Yes, Gao Weiqiang, the younger brother among the three siblings."

Although so many years have passed, as memories slowly emerged, Jiang Xiao also remembered more details. For example, the character he auditioned for was indeed named Gao Weiqiang.

"Are you sure this time?"

"You must have it. You still have to show your confidence. You don't lose the team if you lose others."

Jiang Xiao has become a different person. When he comes to face this final audition again, he will naturally no longer have that uneasy mentality. Whether he succeeds or fails, he just tries his best.

"Senior Brother Jiang, your momentum is good, Senior Sister is optimistic about you!"

Zhang Jingchu, who was cheering for Jiang Xiao on the surface, was actually quite bitter in her heart, not for Junior Jiang, but for herself.

In fact, she attended a two-year junior college program at Chinese Opera, so she graduated in 1999. She started filming her first TV series at the beginning of the century. It was a small role, but it naturally did not bring any fame.

In this way, after several years of hard work, she is still on the same track, so she knows how difficult it is to get into this circle, especially for newcomers with no background.

She originally planned to take the postgraduate entrance examination two years ago and then become a teacher or something. Needless to say, she didn't know what the result of this audition would be.

"Attention everyone, the audition has begun. The first one is Jiang Xiao. Who is Jiang Xiao?"

"I, I am Jiang Xiao."

Jiang Xiao was about to continue responding to Zhang Jingchu, but before he could speak, a short-haired and slightly fat male staff member suddenly appeared at the door and called out his name with a greeting.

Naturally, he turned around and responded quickly.

And he didn't expect that he would be the first person to test the realm today.

But it doesn't matter. With his current state of mind, it is naturally impossible for him to be in any nervous situation again.

"Okay, get ready to come over and audition!"

The male staff member glanced at Jiang Xiao and said nothing. He waved his hand casually and turned around and walked out of the room.

"Jiang Xiao, come on!"

"come on!"

Jiang Xiao stood up, and when he saw Zhang Jingchu clenching her fists to cheer him on, she responded with clenched fists as well.
Chapter completed!
