Chapter 5

"Thank you." Zhou Jin accepted it calmly. Reba twisted her fingers shyly: "Are you here to audition too?"

"Yes."

Reba's eyes rolled, and she gathered the courage to take out her phone: "Thank you just now, let's add WeChat? I'll treat you to a meal later."

"Ding." Scanned the code and added WeChat. Reba gave Zhou Jin a sweet smile, waved happily, and ran away: "Good luck with the interview!"

As soon as she left, several jealous male actors gathered around: "Buddy, you're awesome, you could even get the WeChat of a big beauty. By the way, which role are you auditioning for?"

Zhou Jin spat out two words calmly: "Ling Yue."

Everyone was stunned, then shook their heads in sympathy: "Brother, calm down. This role has long been internally decided for Hong Kong star Chen Weiting. He has fame and qualifications; we're just here to accompany the prince."

Zhou Jin smiled slightly, his expression calm.

He had done enough notes in three days of seclusion, and now he had two major entries: 【Heroic Spirit】 and the newly drawn 【Deep Affection and Restraint】.

He was confident he could pass the first round.

Soon it was Zhou Jin's turn to audition.

Zhou Jin walked into the conference room, stood in the center, his posture tall and straight, and completed his self-introduction calmly.

The five judges looked up and saw Zhou Jin, their eyes revealing a touch of amazement.

Tall, handsome, good figure.

A brief silence appeared in the conference room.

General Director Liang and Producer Liu looked at each other, unable to hide their surprise; he was too handsome!

When Yang Mi called to force someone in before, Director Liang had quite a few complaints.

Big productions hate "connected people" who are forced in to ruin the drama; he originally intended to give him a bit-part job for Yang Mi's sake.

But the moment he saw Zhou Jin himself, that dissatisfaction vanished.

This appearance and figure were simply born for the camera!

Even if he was a supporting actor with no acting skills, just placing him in the crew, taking a few makeup photos, and posting them on Weibo would definitely explode the topic and save a huge amount of publicity fees!

"Cough," Director Liang coughed lightly to cover up his loss of composure, sat up straight, and his tone became visibly gentler: "You can start acting."

And just at this moment.

The back door of the conference room was quietly pushed open a crack.

Zhou Jin caught a glimpse of a straight long leg, followed by Reba's slender water-snake waist.

Zhou Jin only glanced at it before withdrawing his gaze.

Director Liang said: "Start the first scene, Ling Yue's appearance."

Zhou Jin faced the directors, holding a cheap plastic sword, and slowly closed his eyes.

【Advanced Entry: Heroic Spirit, activated!】

Zhou Jin suddenly opened his eyes, waved the long sword in his hand, and took a step forward!

No makeup, no wires.

He just wore a white T-shirt, stepped forward and drew his sword, and a sharp, unparalleled, and awe-inspiring aura erupted.

Directors Liang Shengquan and Huang Junwen sat up abruptly, looking at each other with solemnity.

"This look and momentum... it's a bit eerie." Director Huang was surprised.

But Director Liang remembered Yang Mi's instructions and lowered his voice: "Look at the next scene, the next scene is harder."

Director Huang nodded.

At the same time, Reba, who was peeking, opened her small mouth, and her large eyes widened instantly.

Such a strong aura!

In her excitement, her high heels accidentally knocked against the door frame, making a noise.

Everyone frowned and looked over, relaxing their expressions when they saw it was Reba.

Director Liang beckoned: "Second scene, cutting off love. Reba, you happen to play Fuqu, go and act with him."

Reba stepped forward shyly.

Zhou Jin looked at Reba and closed his eyes to calm his heart.

【Intermediate Entry: Deep Affection and Restraint, activated!】

When he opened his eyes again, Zhou Jin was already the sect leader forced to abandon his seven emotions and six desires.

He stared fixedly at the "junior sister" in front of him, his eyes restrained and controlled, yet surging with heart-wrenching deep affection and brokenness.

Loving but not being able to have, heart-wrenching pain.

Reba, who was still shy, was stunned for a moment when she met this gaze, then slowly understood the emotions in these eyes.

That overwhelming despair and sadness dragged her forcibly into the play.

"Tap..."

A drop of tear slid down Reba's smooth cheek and hit her collarbone.

She looked blankly at Zhou Jin, tears falling crazily from her large eyes; she was actually cried to tears by a single look.

Hiss—

The two directors also saw Zhou Jin's eyes and gasped.

Several producers, after seeing Zhou Jin's eyes, also felt their scalps tingle.

This actor is so young, his acting is a bit demonic!

But the producer immediately frowned, turned to the side, and lowered his voice: "He acts really well, but Chen Weiting has already been internally decided..."

"Let's discuss it!" Director Liang pulled the producer over, his attitude tough: "Old Liu, Chen Weiting's acting definitely can't reach this level."

Several producers were silent; this point really couldn't be refuted.

"But the investors..."

"I don't care what the investors think!" Director Liang insisted: "Such a good seedling must not be let go! At least give him a chance to audition with full makeup! Tomorrow afternoon, take him to the film base, do a full makeup audition comparison, whoever is better gets it!"

Producer Liu looked at Zhou Jin's impeccable face, thinking that if this kid could really become popular, it would be a huge help to the crew, and finally nodded helplessly: "Okay, let's decide after the makeup audition tomorrow."

Director Liang turned around and made the final decision: "First round passed! Tomorrow afternoon, after all auditions are over, you and the other candidate go to the film base for a makeup audition and act out another scene!"

Zhou Jin exhaled lightly, the corners of his mouth curling up.

"Reba, let's go out, other actors still need to audition."

Reba looked at Zhou Jin blankly with red eyes, seemingly not yet out of the play.

Zhou Jin had no choice but to take Reba's hand and push the door to leave the conference room.

The skin felt soft and smooth, like holding a piece of warm jade.

Outside the door, the few male actors who had talked to him just now were gathering around, originally wanting to comfort him not to be discouraged, but they were all stunned in place.

They looked at Zhou Jin, then at the big beauty he was holding, their faces full of expressions of seeing a ghost.

Isn't this the crew's beautiful actress?

In the time it took to go in and walk through the motions, how did they get to hold hands?

"We're out." Zhou Jin let go gently and reminded her warmly.

Reba valued this drama extremely highly; she had long since read the script of Junior Sister Fuqu to pieces and was completely immersed in her feelings for the Senior Brother.

Because of this, the aftereffect was huge.

Thinking of the tragic ending in the play, her emotions broke through again, and she actually threw herself into Zhou Jin's arms and sobbed in a low voice.

A warm softness with the sweet fragrance of roses hit his arms.

Zhou Jin clearly felt her amazing fullness pressed tightly against his chest.

The few male actors who had just gathered around almost had their eyeballs pop out.

What's the situation? They've only known each other for a few minutes, and the big beauty is throwing herself into his arms?!

Zhou Jin wrapped his large hand around her slender, soft waist and patted her gently to comfort her.

After a while, Reba finally came back to her senses.

She suddenly realized that she was hugging a man she had just met tightly, and everyone in the hallway was staring at her.

"Whoosh," Reba's pretty face turned red, and even her slender neck and exquisite collarbone were stained with a charming pink blush.

She turned and ran like a frightened rabbit, but after two steps, she braked sharply, turned around, and bowed deeply to Zhou Jin: "Thank you, Senior Brother!"

Then she ran away in her high heels.

Watching her reckless back, Zhou Jin chuckled.

The male actor who was familiar with him came up sourly: "Buddy, I wanted to comfort you not to be discouraged by failing the audition. Now it seems that with a big beauty throwing herself into your arms, you don't need us at all."
