Shen Xuan was still in class. Su Yanqing's plan to lure Shen Xuan over had failed. Su Yanqing did not persist. She knew that even if she lured Shen Xuan over, he would not obediently audition.
There were two male actors auditioning. One was a popular actor, and the other was Ye Cheng.
The popular actor's acting was delicate and pretentious. He read his lines like he was reading with emotion. On the other hand, the newcomer Ye Cheng was very natural. He acted as the lively and cute male lead.
It could be said that he was indeed suitable for the lead role. However, when Su Yanqing saw such a suitable actor appear, her expression did not look good. She just looked coldly at the lively Ye Cheng. She thought about how "Yan 'er" had blocked the sword for Milk Wang. Why didn't he just directly block it to death?
Obviously, this movie could be remade because Ye Cheng used her connections. If not for the fact that Su Yanqing did not want these people to tarnish her father's famous work, she would have left immediately.
After watching Ye Cheng's performance, Xu Wenyu tactfully did not ask Su Yanqing. Instead, she looked at the other judges with satisfaction and praised, "Not bad, this is the Dong Dong in my heart."
The other judges also nodded and praised this predetermined candidate.
Even if Ye Cheng had expected it, he was still full of pride. He felt that he could do anything. Even if he wanted to be an actor, it would be very easy.
He happily glanced at the indifferent woman in pink who was sitting in front of him. Then, he looked at everyone and bowed deeply, "Thank you!"
Su Yanqing's face was stiff. She did not express any opinions. From the beginning, the producer said that the male lead could not be changed. Now, this actor's acting was not bad. Moreover, Su Yanqing was also very clear that Shen Xuan was not suitable for the lead role. The lively and cute Shen Xuan. Even if she put a knife to his neck, Shen Xuan might not play this role.
However, Su Yanqing was determined to get the role of the second male lead. This character was independent and capable and was very suitable for Shen Xuan. Moreover, it was only the second male lead. She was more confident in convincing Shen Xuan.
As long as he played the second male lead this time, she would be able to let Shen Xuan play the male lead, Xiao Longnan!
Ye Cheng originally wanted to take the opportunity to talk to Su Yanqing, but Su Yanqing directly lowered her head to look at the documents and ignored him, so he could only leave.
He didn't expect to have a good relationship with Su Yanqing right now. The two of them were going to share weal and woe together.
Su Yanqing scrutinized every actor in the audition seriously. Those whose acting skills were not up to standard were all rejected by her.
When it came to the second male lead, there was a suitable candidate. However, Su Yanqing rejected the man who was secretly throwing flirtatious glances at her.
"Ceo Su, this one seems pretty good …" Xu Wenyu looked at the pitiful actor in front of her and suddenly wanted to give him milk candy.
"I think my assistant is more suitable for this role," Su Yanqing said faintly.
Hearing this, Xu Wenyu's face fell. She didn't dare to call him Shen Xuan anymore. If a non-lead actor was able to outshine all the other female leads, where would she put her face?
Even if Ye Cheng was playing a classic role, Xu Wenyu didn't think he had any chance of winning. Just like Su Yanqing, no matter what role he was playing, everyone would choose the big one.
"Ceo Su, we have the same goal. We can't disgrace your father's classic. If we make a fool of ourselves like Da Qin Ji …"
"Have you seriously studied the original work of this drama? If you can't do it, give up the director position. “
Su Yanqing angrily interrupted Xu Wenyu's words and said with a cold face, "In the original work, the second male lead's appearance was far better than the male lead. At the beginning, he was the female lead's crush and dream lover. Do you think there's anyone more suitable than my assistant?"
Xu Wenyu's face turned ugly after being yelled at, but Su Yanqing's words suddenly woke her up. The reason why this drama became a classic was because it was close to reality. It vividly reflected the helplessness, regret, love, and so on of young people.
Even at the end, the beautiful second male lead living next door was still the female lead's dream lover. The female lead was still lusting after his body, but he was destined to be the white moonlight that the female lead could only bury in her heart.
Xu Wenyu looked at the photo of the second male lead in her hand and suddenly realized that there was indeed no one more suitable than Shen Xuan for this role. When the audience watched the female lead accept the reality of love and watched the male god of her dreams leave, they would definitely clearly experience the female lead's sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy melancholy.
To be able to do this, she could be considered to have filmed the soul of the drama.
"Don't you still want us to play the role of the Return of the Condor Heroes? I can use this drama to make Shen Xuan popular." Su Yanqing whispered to Xu Wenyu again.
Hearing this, Xu Wenyu suppressed her anger and prepared to boldly give it a try. It was quite a bold idea to use newcomers for both male leads.
"If the second male lead position can't be given to him, I won't act. I'd rather not act in this drama if others tarnish it." Su Yanqing said coldly.
"I'll think about it …" Xu Wenyu decided to talk to the higher-ups.
Then she said, "You know that I'm more serious about making movies than TV dramas. If we start shooting, I'll let you work in a strange city to survive. Only in this way can we film the real bitter feelings of young people."
"I'll try my best to cooperate." Su Yanqing nodded slightly. The only thing she cared about now was how to persuade Shen Xuan.
After Su Yanqing left, Xu Wenyu arranged a meeting with Su Qing, who was also the biggest investor of the movie.
In a private room in a restaurant, Xu Wenyu glanced at Ye Cheng and then handed a stack of documents to Su Qing.
"These are the candidates who passed the audition today."
"Director Xu, did Sister Yan Qing agree to personally experience life?" Ye Cheng asked impatiently.
"She said she'll try her best to cooperate."
Xu Wenyu nodded and then said, "But she requested that the second male lead must be Shen Xuan. Otherwise, she'd rather not act."
"Shen Xuan?" Ye Cheng's face changed slightly.
"Is there a reason?" Su Qing asked calmly.
"Uh …" Xu Wenyu opened her mouth. With Ye Cheng around, she really couldn't say the reason. She couldn't say that it was because he was more beautiful than her in front of this man.
For a man, this was a critical hit. It would definitely drive him crazy.
"What other reason could it be? Sister Yan Qing wants to support Shen Xuan." Ye Cheng's face couldn't help but turn ugly. Just thinking about the comments online made him quite angry.
Xu Wenyu saw that Su Qing had been waiting for her question. She could only say vaguely, "She wants to film the feeling of the original work. In the original work, the second male lead is the boyfriend of the second female lead next door. Who wouldn't be envious of a young boyfriend … When the female lead first saw him, she was very envious of the second female lead, so she felt that Shen Xuan was very suitable for such a young role."
Su Qing understood. Ye Cheng also understood that Shen Xuan was younger than him. He always felt very angry. For the first time, he felt that 23 years old was very old! He was actually older than Shen Xuan by 5 years!
