Chapter 5 The Tyrant on the Scene
Upon hearing this, the man sat down opposite Liu Chun without any hesitation, pushed the wine in front of him, and did not directly state his purpose.
"This is a fairly established brand of wine, and what I like most about it is its flavor. Why don't you give it a try?"
Liu Chun was about to get up and leave after finishing his drink when he was startled for a few seconds by the other person's sudden toast. He then opened the bottle and drank with the other person.
"This is truly excellent wine!"
Seeing that Liu Chun could actually drink a large gulp, the man was quite shocked: "It seems that you are not only exceptionally skilled in martial arts, but also have some knowledge of drinking. Very good."
Liu Chun scrutinized the other person for a while and found that he couldn't match anyone else.
Who is he?
"Haven't you asked yet?"
Liu Chun thought to himself that this person probably wanted to come and become his disciple so that he could teach him martial arts.
We need to find a way to get out of here quickly!
"He's just a small-time director."
A junior director?
Liu Chun said his answer wasn't very accurate, but was this person really a director?
The man took out his phone and placed it on the table, stating his purpose: "I just observed your movements; they were very efficient, and you have a strong presence on camera. Would you be interested in exchanging contact information? I might consider hiring you for a future project... at market price."
Thinking back on what had just happened, the debts, and life, the only quick way to make money right now is acting. If he acts well, money will naturally come.
Liu Chun wanted to take the role, but it was still unknown whether the director would arrange for him to take the same role in his next project, so it was not appropriate to make a definitive conclusion.
But this could be an opportunity!
Being approached by a director asking for their contact information means that, in any case, an important role is definitely within reach.
After careful consideration, Liu Chun took out her phone: "Exchanging contact information is fine, but I need to consider whether the subsequent drama parts will suit me before agreeing to take the role. So, do you need to exchange contact information with me?"
Without thinking much, the man said, "Add it."
He knew very well that, given the right price, "refusal" was a difficult word to say for someone about to pay off a debt.
After all, he had already almost finished thinking about the script.
After achieving their goal, the two chatted for a while before getting up to leave. Liu Chun needed to prepare well for tomorrow's audition.
……
That evening, Liu Yifei called Liu Chun to inquire about his preparation progress.
"...This audition is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Are you sure you're really ready?"
Although she had already learned some information from Shu Chang, Liu Yifei was still a little worried, fearing that Liu Chun might do something unexpected tomorrow.
"Don't worry, everything is ready." Actually, Liu Chun wasn't sure, because as far as he knew, the role of "Murong Fu" had already been decided internally, and he was just going to make an appearance.
Even so, he will make all kinds of preparations to meet the challenges.
"You seem very confident. Go early tomorrow."
"it is good."
……
The next day, the audition site was crowded with people, and Liu Chun wandered around for quite a while before finally arriving at the audition area for "Murong Fu".
Next to this are the audition areas for the roles of Wang Yuyan and A'Zhu. Both places are filled with beautiful women, and the most beautiful women in the capital are nothing new.
Liu Chun recognized some familiar faces among them, but everyone's first priority was the audition. Even if they saw each other, they would just nod and then get back into character.
The purpose is to be able to present the best version of oneself in front of the director and audition panel when it is one of their turn to audition.
Otherwise, it will be too late to regret it later, since everyone only has one chance to succeed.
Although Liu Chun arrived early enough, there were still many more extraordinary people who arrived even earlier than him.
While waiting, some people spared no expense to buy their ranking, or even had stunningly beautiful women come over to entice them, trying to cheat their way into a higher position so they could meet the director sooner.
Without a doubt, he rejected all of them.
There are advantages to being ranked high or low, but if someone misses a good opportunity, their performance will naturally suffer.
"If you offered me more money than I would have been paid to play Murong Fu, I might have actually considered it. What a pity."
When he came to his senses and looked ahead, he saw several people who had just come out of the audition room, all of them looking shocked and whispering to each other.
As they passed by Liu Chun, all they could hear was them discussing Zhang Jizhong's volatile temper. They recounted how someone had simply misperformed a few simple movements, yet Zhang Jizhong had thrown a tantrum, berated the performer, and kicked them out.
Several people ahead of him were conflicted, but in the end they gritted their teeth and ran away, not caring that the next person to call for help would be them.
Liu Chun was about to ask them something to chat about, but before he could even start, almost everyone had already run away.
Even so, some people still dared to rush forward, because what was shocking was not just seeing Zhang Jizhong reprimanding people on set, but also other reasons.
Liu Chun saw many shocked people leaving the audition venue, but she didn't know why they were shocked, nor did she have a chance to ask them.
"What on earth is going on?"
After a long wait, it was soon Liu Chun's turn to enter the audition room.
At first, he was curious as to why everyone was so shocked. But when he came in, he saw his cousin Liu Yifei sitting in an inconspicuous spot, which became dazzling because of her.
What is she doing here?
Liu Yifei, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, merely offering him encouragement.
As Liu Chun pondered this, she walked up to director Zhang Jizhong and the audition team members and handed them her resume.
"Hello, Teacher Zhang, my name is Liu Chun."
After taking Liu Chun's resume, Zhang Jizhong glanced at it briefly, then put it into a folder next to him and began to examine Liu Chun.
"This audition is very simple. Do you think you have the ability to complete it?"
Liu Chun immediately replied, "Don't worry, it's guaranteed to be the best."
"Okay, you'll rehearse the scene of 'Murong Fu questioning Wang Yuyan' with our staff later. If you do a good job, I might consider letting you play the role of 'Murong Fu'."
"Then you can't go back on your word."
At this moment, Liu Chun was full of confidence, which stemmed from the existence of the system. Moreover, he had made ample preparations before coming to the audition, immersing himself in the role again and again and practicing diligently.
"it is good."
Zhang Jizhong answered loudly and quickly had a scene set up to place the actors in it, allowing them to improvise as they pleased. Whether they could master the role depended entirely on their own abilities.
Just as Liu Chun was about to get into role-playing, a staff member was somehow caught by Zhang Jizhong and immediately pulled aside for a severe scolding.
"Is your director always like this?"
The staff members next to them only dared to nod slightly, not even wanting to speak.
So everyone waited for him to finish scolding the person who had done wrong before returning to his seat.
Liu Chun didn't think much of it when faced with a director like that.
If they just bring out pre-selected roles for auditions, can they really ensure that only the most capable get the part?
Liu Chun immediately got into character, silently saying to himself, "System, enter role-playing mode!"
