"Xiao Ming, did you ask about Yang Mi last time? Her contract expires in the first half of next year. Does she have any plans for the next step?"

In the business car, Huang Xiaoming opened his half-closed eyes when he heard his agent Zhou Siwei's words.

His eyes were actually different from usual at this moment, looking more or less sinister and cold.

It seems that the whole person's temperament has also undergone a completely different change.

Even the voice he speaks becomes a little weird, and is no longer so smooth.

"I didn't ask. It's not easy to ask about this kind of thing."

Very weird Mandarin.

It's not a dialect, it's a deliberately somewhat artificial sense of "pretending to be a foreigner".

Zhou Siwei was not surprised, he just nodded:

"Then... try to keep Director Xu for lunch at noon so that I can talk to him about Yang Mi."

While talking, the car has arrived at the parking space.

The car door was opened, and Zhou Siwei got out of the car first without waiting for Huang Xiaoming:

"I need to go to the toilet."

Huang Xiaoming didn't say anything. After getting off the car, he walked up two steps to the door of the small office building and saw an A4 paper posted on the sign at the door.

There is a line of words on the paper:

"Audition for "The Wind", please go to the third floor and turn left."

He had an idea in mind, but he was not in a hurry to go in.

Instead, he took out a cigarette from his pocket.

He put the cigarette to his nose and smelled it. He seemed to be stimulated by the smell, so he rubbed his nose again.

It's like having rhinitis.

Finally, he put it to his mouth and lit it, and then started pacing in place with half-closed eyes.

This is his audition status.

Every actor has different steps to prepare for a role's audition, including relaxing, getting into the role, and performing.

Everyone's habit is to follow the pace that is most comfortable for them.

For Huang Xiaoming, the most comfortable state is to sleep until he wakes up naturally and then drink a glass of warm water.

Skip breakfast because eating too much will make him feel mentally tired.

Therefore, after drinking this glass of water, he will not eat anything again, maintaining the "transparency" from the inside out and the slight discomfort of lack of food in the stomach, to keep his spirit where he wants.

When you go off track, you will only notice these discomforts and not think about anything else.

And then...keep it up until the audition is over.

He can communicate with people in the meantime, but the people he communicates with cannot talk too much or less.

Too much will make him act out.

Anything less will make it impossible for him to grasp the character's status.

Then when he arrived at the audition, he didn't need anyone else to take care of him from the moment he got out of the car.

I will go directly to the audition after making sufficient preparations based on my own understanding of the character.

And now this is the state he is in when he is preparing.

Because in his setting, the character "Takeda" should be aloof at heart.

It's not about good or evil, it's about his self-righteousness.

And this kind of self-righteousness is also accompanied by an emotion that looks like self-confidence, but is actually narcissistic.

You also need to have a little mysophobia, otherwise it will not be worthy of the punishment of physical examination.

He shouldn't smoke too much. He should seem to have reason above all else. Tobacco can only be used to refresh himself or as a transition when his mood fluctuates.

It must not be dependent.

Etc., etc.

He adjusted these details little by little.

Once adjusted, he will go up.

Even though it was a little late, he had already greeted Xu Xin before, so he didn't panic.

This is not the time to pay attention to human feelings, but to show the professional standards of an actor.

Then, he heard the sound of a car engine.

He ignored it and continued to pace.

Then I heard the movement of the car door and the strange sound under the footsteps:

"Brother Xiao Ming?"

"..."

Huang Xiaoming paused in his steps.

The mental level of being involved in the drama is a little unstable.

Subconsciously, he turned around to look with a little dissatisfaction, but immediately the dissatisfaction in his eyes turned into confusion, and then gradually turned into surprise.

Liu Yifei?

Even though he was wearing a cap and a mask, he still recognized those eyes immediately after seeing them.

Liu Yifei...?

He blinked rapidly...

But after Liu Yifei saw his appearance, as a "little dragon girl", she had seen with her own eyes how Huang Xiaoming got into the character state, and she immediately nodded:

"Brother Xiao Ming, you get ready first, I'm going up for the audition."

After saying that, she nodded politely to Huang Xiaoming, lowered the brim of her hat and passed by Huang Xiaoming.

"..."

That mental state finally emerged from Huang Xiaoming's eyes, and was quickly replaced by a trace of doubt.

After briefly regaining consciousness, his mind began to spin rapidly.

Didn't you tell Xu Xin about Liu Yifei's situation?

I said it.

Then why...she will come again?

She just said she wanted to audition...

But he has read the entire script of "The Wind" and there are only two female characters. One is Li Ningyu and the other is Gu Xiaomeng.

Gu Xiaomeng is Yang Mi, and Li Ningyu is Liang Binning.

Will these two change?

Not to mention that he has changed... Even if he, a junior, had an affair with Yang Mi and Liu Yifei behind his back, he wouldn't believe it.

Because the problem now is not his junior, but Liu Yifei herself.

She was rejected by this circle.

So...it is impossible for Gu Xiaomeng and Liang Binning.

Then who will she audition for?...Huh?

Suddenly, Huang Xiaoming thought of a possibility.

But after thinking about this possibility, a sense of absurdity arose in my heart.

this……

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

How could she possibly play this role?

impossible.

But apart from this role, there is no other reason!

Even if she plays this role, what are the benefits to her?... Benefits? Wait, could it be...

In a daze, Liang Binning, Xu Xin, Xiying Studio... a series of keywords emerged from his heart.

And along with these keywords came two guesses.

Firstly...isn't Xi Film Studio afraid of being tricked like the first two "taken advantage of"?

The second thing is... in this matter, what kind of role did the junior brother play in this matter?

"..."

"Huh...Xiao Ming, how's it going? Can we go in?"

While he was thinking about it, suddenly, he heard the words of his agent Zhou Siwei.

He woke up as if from a dream.

Subconsciously, she turned her head and glanced at him. The frown on her brows made Zhou Siwei stunned for a moment, and he asked with words of concern:
To be continued...
