China Entertainment Bright Era

Chapter 276 This is an opportunity

The bright and warm morning sun shines into the living room, like a red-orange cloud, illuminating the living room exceptionally brightly, several notches brighter than a normal sunny day.

Chu Xuan was sitting on the sofa, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt tucked into light blue casual jeans, and a black belt with a silver buckle wrapped around his waist.

He sat cross-legged, with his feet in white socks poking out from under his thighs. He lifted his laptop and placed it on his knees. He was looking down at his work documents.

"Chu Xuan, Qianqian, the dumplings are ready. Take the time to finish and go to the company. There will definitely be a lot of tourists on National Day today. If you go out late, you will be stuck in traffic." Liu Xiaoli came out from the kitchen carrying two bowls of dumplings.

Hearing this, Chu Xuan glanced at the far right side of the taskbar on the screen - October 1, 2005.

These days, Liu Yifei and I continue to deal with casting matters in the company, and in the blink of an eye, it’s the National Day again.

Liu Yifei walked out of the bathroom with a toothbrush in her mouth. She stood at the door of the bathroom and looked at her mother. Seeing that her mother only had two bowls of dumplings in her hands, she said in confusion: "Mom, don't you want to eat?"

Liu Yifei was wearing a royal blue overalls with a white short-sleeved bottoming underneath. Perhaps because she was in a good mood, she specially styled her hairstyle with double ponytails parted in the middle. The two ponytails fell smoothly from her shoulders to her chest.

"Today I have to settle a batch of payments, and a batch of new materials have been shipped to the villa. I have to go there early, so I won't eat with you at home. I just buy a few dumplings on the roadside." Liu Xiaoli placed two bowls of dumplings on the dining table.

She walked towards the living room, picked up her bag on the sofa, slung it over her right shoulder, and said to Chu Xuan: "It is estimated that the decoration will be completed in December, and including the time for the paint smell to dissipate, I should move in before the Chinese New Year.

Go in."

Chu Xuan nodded and said, "Auntie, thank you for your hard work."

Liu Xiaoli was very happy when she heard this and said: "Throw away the money. It's been two months and you, the master, haven't even taken a look at the villa. You are cruel enough."

Chu Xuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly and smiled.

Hearing what her mother teased about Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei at the door of the bathroom also frowned.

"Mom, how is Sister Hua and Brother Jun's house?" She stopped brushing her teeth.

"Their villa is faster than ours, and it is estimated that it will be decorated next month." Liu Xiaoli picked up her bag and walked towards the door.

"Then we can spend the Chinese New Year together this year, it will be really lively." Liu Yifei said playfully.

Liu Xiaoli nodded slightly at her, came to the door to change her shoes, turned to look at Chu Xuan on the sofa, and reminded again: "Eat quickly, otherwise there will be a traffic jam later, and the road to the Brilliant Era is already jammed."

"Okay." Chu Xuan closed the laptop, got off the sofa and walked towards the restaurant.

"Let's go." Liu Xiaoli opened the door and closed it with a bang, and the person was gone.

After Liu Yifei washed up, she came to Chu Xuan and sat down next to her. She picked up her chopsticks and prepared to eat dumplings.

Chu Xuan tilted his head, looked at her twin ponytails, and said, "How do you get this hairstyle?"

Liu Yifei looked at him and said, "Don't you look good?"

She raised her eyebrows and gave a dangerous look.

Chu Xuan shook his head and said: "You look good, but you usually have long hair and a shawl, and you rarely style your hair."

Liu Yifei wrinkled her nose playfully and said: "The main reason is that my face shape is suitable for long hair shawl, so I didn't change my hairstyle."

Hearing what she said, Chu Xuan suppressed a smile and said: "Lazy is just lazy, don't make excuses, your face is suitable for long hair and shawl, why don't you say you are naturally beautiful?"

Liu Yifei was startled, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked at Chu Xuan like this for a few seconds. Seeing that Chu Xuan kept laughing, she put down her chopsticks and attacked Chu Xuan.

Played around for a minute.

Chu Xuan held both sides of Liu Yifei tightly with both hands, and both of them couldn't help laughing.

"Stop making trouble and eat dumplings."

"Am I lazy?"

"Not lazy."

"am I pretty?"

"beautiful."

"How beautiful?"

Chu Xuan thought for a moment, then said with twinkling eyes: "Liu Chenyu."

Liu Yifei blinked cutely, and immediately took her hands out of Chu Xuan's hands, laughing happily.

"This title is so familiar."

"I got it for you on your 16th birthday two years ago."

After being reminded by Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei nodded repeatedly.

The beautiful memories were evoked for a moment, and she couldn't help but feel beautiful.

The two picked up their chopsticks again and ate the dumplings.

"Zhang Meng didn't want to come to the audition because he was drunk." Liu Yifei said while eating dumplings.

"Brother Wei recalled the communication process with Zhang Meng. Judging from Brother Wei's many years of people-watching experience with Sister Hua, Brother Wei estimated that Zhang Meng cares about the opinions of the outside world, and his lack of acting foundation is also a factor. Our "Zhu Xian" has another

It's a big crew, and Baguio plays a very important role. It's probably the pressure that makes her not confident enough to act." Chu Xuan told the information Xiao Wei reported to him.

"It's also possible that she grew up with a golden key in her mouth and is afraid of failure." Liu Yifei analyzed.

"Maybe, it's enough to know the result of her unwillingness to come to the audition. The reason is not important." Chu Xuan shook his head.

Liu Yifei nodded, tilted her head to look at him and said, "Now I am very interested in the Zhao Liying that Brother Wei mentioned."

Two days ago, the head of the marketing department, Wei Ge, came to report to them and explained the situation of Huang Xuan and Zhang Meng, one of whom agreed and the other refused.

However, on the way back, Brother Wei met a girl handing out flyers, and her appearance suited the role of Baguio very well.

Brother Wei is a senior figure in Sister Hua’s marketing team. He has seen a lot of celebrities’ faces before and after makeup.

Brother Wei's vision in this regard is worthy of trust.

Therefore, Liu Yifei was very interested in Zhao Liying, whom she had never met before and had no photos to describe her.

The unknown may bring big surprises.

Suddenly, the cell phone rang.

Liu Yifei looked over and saw that Chu Xuan's cell phone rang.

Chu Xuan picked up the phone and answered the call.

Under Liu Yifei's gaze, Chu Xuan kept listening and said nothing. Only at the end of the phone call did he appear speechless and said: "You call him here first and then talk."

Seeing Chu Xuan put down his phone, she asked: "What's wrong?"

Chu Xuan looked at her and said: "Brother Wei's phone call said that Huang Xuan said that although he has experience in stage musicals and knows a bit about positioning and acting, he has learned about our "Zhu Xian" in the past few days. It has a large investment and a director.

The cast was strong, and Zhang Xiaofan was the male lead. He didn’t dare to act for fear of screwing up, so he asked Brother Wei if he could audition a supporting role first and try it out.”

Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment and said helplessly: "Why are these people like this? They don't even dare to act when given the chance."

Chu Xuan took a bite of the dumplings and said: "This is the normal mentality of a new actor. Think about it from another person's perspective. If a person who doesn't know much about acting is suddenly asked to play the leading role in a big drama, how many people would dare to take the role?"

"I dare!" Liu Yifei said arrogantly, still eating dumplings in her mouth, her right cheek puffed up like a steamed bun.

Chu Xuan glanced at her and said: "How many people are as heartless as you? With zero basic acting level, without anyone to teach you, you went to play the second female lead in "The Golden Family" and became popular in the end. Facts

It proves that idol dramas do not require acting skills, and it also shows that you are brave."

Liu Yifei almost spit out the dumplings in her mouth. Seeing Chu Xuan hold back her laughter as he picked up the bowls and chopsticks and walked to the kitchen, she picked up the bowls and chopsticks and followed with a smile on her face.

"Chu Xuan! You complained about me twice today! I'm angry!" Liu Yifei put the dishes and chopsticks into the sink with a straight face.

"Love you." Chu Xuan washed the dishes.

"It's of no use to me." Liu Yifei's face was cold, very much like the original form of Little Dragon Girl, but the double ponytail hairstyle made this Little Dragon Girl look very different.

Chu Xuan put the dishes and chopsticks on the table, pressed the hand sanitizer, rubbed his hands to wash the handle, and then turned off the faucet.

Chu Xuan turned around and kissed Liu Yifei hard on the lips, put his left hand around Liu Yifei's shoulders, and led Liu Yifei out.

"Let's go." Chu Xuan said.

"Apologise." Liu Yifei let Chu Xuan hug her and walk away, but she still looked pretending to be unhappy.

"I'm sorry." Chu Xuan was very decisive. He always gave in quickly in front of Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei pointed a finger at him and said, "Don't mention the past anymore."

Chu Xuan nodded and said, "Life has been full of ups and downs."

Liu Yifei burst into laughter and patted Chu Xuan, "Shall I use you to compare the lyrics with me?"

With a smile on his face, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei came to the door to change their shoes.

"What should I do if Huang Xuan doesn't dare to play Zhang Xiaofan?"

"Let's see how the audition goes first. If it meets our expectations, I will let him play."

Liu Yifei nodded, changed her shoes, opened the door, and walked out first, extending a hand at the same time.

Chu Xuan went out behind him and took her outstretched left hand naturally, clasping his fingers tightly.

After closing the door with his backhand, the two of them walked downstairs side by side.

——The Brilliant Era.

A lounge is about thirty square meters.

There are several built-in sofas and coffee tables, as well as wooden shelves with newspapers and magazines.

The sun is clear and the room is bright.

Huang Xuan sat alone on the sofa, holding a disposable cup filled with water in his hand. He raised his head and drank the water in one gulp.

This was already the fifth glass of water he had drank. Sitting here alone made him a little restless, always looking for something to do to cover up his nervousness.

When the people from the Brilliant Era found him that day and explained their purpose, he was in disbelief at first and a little wary.

Finally, after the other party confirmed it in many aspects, he was truly surprised.

Acting is something he has always longed for.

There was no way before, so how could I expect that opportunities would fall from the sky.

No matter how introverted he is, no matter how afraid of strange environments and strange people he is, he still agrees and comes to audition for Brilliant Times today.

This is an opportunity.

An opportunity to pursue your dreams.

He mustered up the courage to come because he wanted to seize this opportunity.

He had never been in the entertainment industry before. He was just a dance major and didn't know much about entertainment.

After getting to know "Zhu Xian" these days, he discovered the true power of this show and the power of the entertainment company he is currently working in during this glorious era.

Perhaps it was due to his lack of confidence due to his mediocre dancing talent, or perhaps it was due to the bright era and the astronomical investment in "Zhu Xian" for him. As for Zhang Xiaofan's audition, the person told him that he was likely to pass the audition.

Due to the situation, he felt timid for a moment.

Even if I don’t understand movies and TV dramas, I still know the importance of the protagonist in movies and TV dramas.

What's more, this is an investment of 55 million.

Let him audition for the lead role?

Let him play the leading role?

Will you lose money if you mess up?

Will it offend anyone?

Will it be impossible to survive?

Feeling uneasy, he asked Brother Wei to audition for a supporting role.

Brother Wei did not give a clear answer and asked him to come over first.

Hearing Brother Wei's tone, he seemed a little unhappy, and Huang Xuan was a little confused for a moment.

With such messy thoughts, he could only drink water to relieve his worries.

At this moment, there was movement at the door. Under his gaze, the beautiful receptionist led a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl in. After a few words of explanation, the receptionist closed the door and left.

This girl has a round face, a single ponytail, and is dressed simply, giving her a dusty look. She is holding a plastic bag in her hand, which contains two steamed buns and a cup of soy milk.

The girl's eyes were very smart, and she kept looking at him after he walked in.

Huang Xuan glanced at her for a few times, looked at each other, then lowered his head in embarrassment and looked at the empty disposable cup in his hand.

"Hello, my name is Zhao Liying." Zhao Liying sat down on the side, one meter away from Huang Xuan.

"Hello, my name is Huang Xuan." Huang Xuan raised his eyebrows to look at her, then lowered his eyebrows and did not dare to look again.

Zhao Liying took out a bun from the plastic bag and started to eat it.

She glanced at Huang Xuan and said, "Were you also invited by them to audition?"

Huang Xuan's hands squeezed the cup slowly and uncontrollably. Hearing Zhao Liying's question, he nodded.

Zhao Liying saw that the cup in Huang Xuan's hand was squeezed out of shape, and she couldn't help but glance at Huang Xuan. She felt very interesting.

"I'm auditioning for Baguio, what about you?" she asked while eating steamed buns.

"It might be Zhang Xiaofan, or it might be someone else." Huang Xuan said.

"Zhang Xiaofan? The protagonist!" Zhao Liying couldn't help but look at Huang Xuan a few more times.

"Baguio is not bad either." Huang Xuan restored the cup in his hand to its original shape and took the crumpled cup to the water dispenser to pour water.

Zhao Liying followed his figure and saw that there were a dozen new cups on the water dispenser but they were not in use. This man was so interesting.

Huang Xuan returned from pouring water, sat down on the sofa, and said, "Have you ever studied acting?"

Looking at the figure of the girl in front of me and the way she walked when she just walked in, it seems that the word has nothing to do with acting.

If you have taken a physical class in the performance major, your walking posture, posture or temperament will definitely be different from others.

"I haven't learned anything." Zhao Liying shook her head.

Sure enough... Huang Xuan nodded, "Then you... aren't worried?"

"What are you worried about?" Zhao Liying wondered.

"What if the performance fails..." Huang Xuan's voice lingered.

"The acting was bad?" Zhao Liying's eyes moved a few times, she took a sip of soy milk and said: "Brother Wei said that I was suitable for Baguio and asked me to audition. I didn't beg for it. What does it have to do with me if the acting was bad?

?”

Huang Xuan was stunned and speechless for a moment.

This girl seems to have a big heart?

Zhao Liying put down the soy milk and said: "With such a big company and such a big crew, there must be someone to teach me, right? I work as a waiter, a salesperson, and hand out leaflets. Someone taught me how to do it before letting me continue.

I said I didn’t know how to perform, but Brother Wei still asked me to do it. If there is no one to teach me, and the performance fails in the end, that’s their business, it’s their own fault.”

Huang Xuan pursed his lips and was speechless. In the end, he could only ask: "Why... why did you come to the audition?"

Zhao Liying glanced at him, then lowered her head to take the last bun and said, "I am poor, I also want to be a star, this is an opportunity."

"Also..." Zhao Liying winked at Huang Xuan, "Chu Xuan is my idol. As an orphan, without any background, he has become so powerful in two years, and he has been directly exposed to Liu Yifei. He is so handsome."

Huang Xuan raised the corners of his mouth and nodded, "He is also my idol."

"Dong dong dong..." There was a knock on the door, and the two of them looked at it.

The door was opened, and Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei looked inside.

Huang Xuan sat upright and looked at Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei with a mixture of surprise and embarrassment.

"Chu Xuan! Liu Yifei!" The bun fell from Zhao Liying's mouth. She quickly bent over to pick it up and stuffed it into her pocket. Then she sat on the sofa obediently, her eyes flashing with excitement.

Seeing how cute she looked, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei had smiles in their eyes.

"Huang Xuan? Zhao Liying?"

Huang Xuan and Zhao Liying nodded repeatedly.

"Come." Chu Xuan waved.

Huang Xuan and Zhao Liying stood up and followed them out.
