Chapter 78

Facing everyone's scrutinizing eyes, Li Luo stood upright.

"Data shows."

The little beard with gold-rimmed glasses and a big back head next to Zhang Zhizhong flipped through the data spread on the table and took the lead in asking: "Lin Pingzhi in *Xiao Ao Jianghu* is you, right?"

"That's right."

Li Luo answered cleanly.

Waving his hand to flick the cigarette ash, Zhang Zhizhong added: "Little Luo performed well and brought out the flavor of Lin Pingzhi."

"Yes."

"I also have an impression."

"The performance is quite good."

With such a sentence from the beard, everyone cheered up.

When meeting familiar actors, everyone would chat for a few words to help the other party relax their state.

"My name is Yu Min."

The little beard wanted to look down again, but found that there was no data, so he raised his head and looked at Li Luo: "I am the director of this play; besides Lin Pingzhi, what other acting experience do you have?"

The data in his hand was also too simple.

It was just Lin Pingzhi and a student of the Beijing Film Academy.

Although the beard said the other party was good, he still couldn't help but feel worried.

Others also flipped through the data in their hands one after another.

Everyone was muttering in their hearts.

"Hello, Yu Dao."

Li Luo blinked his eyes and nodded to the other party: "There is a play being filmed in Huairou now, Lai Shuiqing's *Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre*, and I play Zhang Wuji in it."

The moment the words fell, intermittent coughing sounds rang out in the audition room.

The name *Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre* popped out, so it couldn't be any small production; if the investment was less, it wouldn't work at all.

They all knew Lai Shuiqing, who could be considered a well-known director in the industry.

To talk about qualifications.

It was even more of a second-kill to Yu Min!

They thought this kid was some newcomer, but who knew he suddenly popped out and said he was the male lead; for a time, many people were choked!

"You guys need to be serious in your work."

Zhang Zhizhong's expression was very serious; he raised his hand unhappily and pointed forcefully at the staff next to him: "What are you all doing? Is it very difficult to collect the basic information of actors?"

This group of people around him were either filming or preparing for new plays during this period.

It's normal not to know the situation.

But he had already explained it a few days ago, and even the basic information could be missed; this is disrespect for the actor, and it is also slapping his face!

"Forget it."

Yu Min smoothed things over and handed out a piece of lines in his hand: "You try this scene."

Taking the paper.

Li Luo quickly looked at the few words on it.

"Oh?"

He looked at the little beard director with gold-rimmed glasses: "Duan Yu steals a horse?"

"That's right."

Yu Min nodded and continued: "Say it when you're ready."

Hearing that sentence.

A faint smile appeared on his face.

At least the other party's attitude was very correct; some actors wouldn't go to understand the original work at all.

"Hmm."

Li Luo recited the lines a few times, closed his eyes to guide himself into the performance state, and opened his eyes after only a few seconds.

The aura of the whole person became gentler.

"Start."

Yu Min looked at the line paper and read it in a flat tone: "How dare you steal my Black Rose."

"I'm not your servant."

Li Luo frowned and said indignantly: "Whether I go or stay, it depends on my mood; it's not about stealing away."

The speed was a few points faster than usual.

Looking exceptionally anxious.

After all, Duan Yu was rushing to save someone at this time.

"As for this Black Rose!" His eyes turned, and his tone was hesitant: "I borrowed it from you earlier and haven't returned it to you yet."

"So."

"It can't be considered stealing!"

The tone quickly switched from hesitation to smoothness, and there was a bit of pride between his eyebrows.

These few words made Zhang Zhizhong nod repeatedly.

The rhythm was grasped very well, and the feeling of being proud and complacent while arguing unreasonably was handled very well.

"Still dare to quibble."

Yu Min continued to help with the scene: "Tell me, who exactly are you? How dare you contradict me again and again!"

"I am a person who cares about the safety of friends."

Li Luo glanced at the lines, stepped forward, and his expression became exceptionally serious: "If the girl treats me with courtesy, I naturally won't contradict you!"

"Draw the knife."

Scratching his little beard, Yu Min looked at him appreciatively.

"Gulp~"

Li Luo imagined a knife being held to his neck; he swallowed his saliva and raised his chin with a trace of horror.

But his eyes were exceptionally firm.

"That's it."

Yu Min nodded and applauded with a smile: "The performance is good, thank you Li Luo."

Sparse applause rang out in the audition room.

Whether it works or not.

You can tell by one fragment.

"Thanks Yu Dao, thanks everyone."

Li Luo let go of that energy and bowed his hands in thanks habitually.

Although it was only a few lines of dialogue, it was quite tiring to maintain a high degree of concentration.

"For martial arts scenes." The rough man sitting in the back rubbed his big nose and looked at Li Luo with a smile: "I think there's no need to audition; Little Luo's movements are quite agile, and this simply can't stump him."

This person was the martial arts director of *Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils*, Zhao Jian.

He looked rough and sturdy.

He looked honest when he smiled, but quite scary when he was serious.

Zhao Jian once played Fei Bin, the junior brother of Zuo Lengchan, in *Xiao Ao Jianghu*, and was slashed to death by Mo Da, the head of the Hengshan Sect, when he wanted to kill Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng.

He was also a veteran martial arts instructor.

In the production team before, Li Luo had practiced a few times with him following Yuan Bin.

They were acquaintances.

Although he said so, there were other people here, so Zhang Zhizhong still let Li Luo demonstrate.

It just so happened that there was a folding fan among the props here; before, Zhao Min had a scene of fighting with a fan, and Li Luo had also learned two moves from Yuan Bin, so he picked up the folding fan.

*Slap*, he opened it.

Then he turned the fan into a sword, picking, swinging, and stabbing, playing it in a way that dazzled people.

Normal martial arts auditions are extremely simple.

It's just to see if the limbs are coordinated and ask if there is usually exercise, and most actors set moves on the spot, or strike poses if they can't.

There are very few who can come directly like Li Luo.

"That's it."

Zhang Zhizhong thought of something else and tapped the table with his fingers toward the staff next to him: "Call Mu Wanqing in, and let Li Luo accompany her to try a scene to see how it feels."

Auditioning is all kinds of tossing.

No refusal.

After a while, 19-year-old Jiang Xin was brought in.

At this time, she was not famous.

She had been filming since she was young and could be considered a child star; she failed the Central Academy of Drama exam and stayed in Beijing to drift, and by chance, she got a relationship with a literary director in the *Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils* production team.

That's how she got the audition opportunity for Mu Wanqing.

Having experienced all kinds of hardships since she was young, her performance was quite cautious.

As soon as she entered the door, she bowed several times respectfully.

Seeing her styling, Zhang Da Hu Zi's eyebrows frowned obviously, and he whispered a few words to Yu Min, discussing the scene for the two to perform next.

"How about this."

After a few words, Zhang Zhizhong looked at the two standing in front of the camera and said directly:

"You two, come and kiss."
