Huayu started from the Three Kingdoms period

Wang Yanbing then realized... no, it was Liu Meng, looking at Xu Ying in front of him, whose image and temperament perfectly matched the requirements of the role.

Liu Mengcai realized that Gu Zhixing's loss was not unjust.

After the audition, they needed to discuss things, so they asked Xu Ying to wait outside.

"What do you all think?" Li Ligong looked at everyone's expressions. "I think you all already have your answers. I'll go first. I choose Xu Ying."

"I also choose Xu Ying," said Fang Ming from CCTV.

"Xu Ying," Li Ming said.

Liu Meng shook his head inwardly, feeling sorry for Old Gu.

"I also choose Xu Ying."

This statement surprised many, who thought he would insist on choosing Gu Zhixing.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm not a nepotist." Liu Meng shrugged.

After everyone had given their opinions, Ji Daoqing finally spoke up, "Then it's settled. Xu Ying will play the male lead, Zhuang Yan. Does anyone have any different opinions?"

No objection.

No objection.

"Alright, Mr. Li, please take care of the follow-up matters, and then the filming plan can be put on the agenda. I will also be able to report to my superiors."

The filming of "I Am a Special Forces Soldier" was done on location, so it required the use of military bases and various equipment.

Ji Daoqing needed to make overall plans in advance and apply to his superiors.

Liu Meng and Li Ligong exchanged a glance and said seriously, "I've already discussed the start date with Producer Li, and it's expected to be in March of next year."

"Yes, the weather will be more suitable after March next year, which will be better for the actors and the crew," Li Ligong added.

Ji Daoqing nodded. "This timeframe is about right. The military region probably won't approve it by the end of the year anyway, so I'll report it to the higher-ups first, and if it's feasible, we'll finalize it."

"Then let's go and inform them, and we can also call Xu Ying in for a chat."

......

The three people in the lounge were unaware that the results were already out. Xu Jia seemed quite relaxed at the moment, clearly feeling that he had little hope.

At this moment, the staff arrived and told them that Xu Ying had passed the audition.

"Congratulations...Teacher Xu." Gu Zhixing's smile was somewhat bitter.

Xu Jia had clearly anticipated this, and said with a smile, "Congratulations."

"Thank you both."

The staff member then said, "Teachers, Director Liu Meng is waiting for you over there. He wants to ask if you would be willing to participate in other roles."

Xu Jia had thought he had no chance of getting the role in the drama, but he was surprised to find that he still had the opportunity, and he immediately beamed with joy.

Gu Zhixing, however, was not very happy. It was understandable, as his good friend Liu Meng had recommended him, but he hadn't been selected yet.

Never mind, I'll go over and apologize to him.

When the two went to find the director, Xu Ying had already returned to the meeting room they had just been in.

At this point, only Ji Daoqing and Li Ligong remained inside. Ji Daoqing immediately launched into a barrage of questions.

Xu Yingdu answered each question patiently.

Ji Daoqing only wanted to see Xu Ying to ask about his situation, but now that he understands the details, he can't help but feel a little emotional.

"If you weren't an actor, I'd really like to drag you into the army for a few years."

......

After Xu Ying came out, he happened to run into Liu Meng, who had just returned.

"The younger generation at Beijing Film Academy has promising prospects." Liu Meng, a student at the Central Academy of Drama, spoke with admiration for Xu Ying, saying that Xu Ying was one of the best young actors he had seen in recent years.

This is why he accepted it so quickly; more than friendship, he hoped for the success of the work.

"Director Liu, you flatter me," Xu Ying said modestly.

"I'm not just flattering you, I genuinely think so." Liu Meng shook his head. "I just heard from President Li that two of your classmates are also auditioning. I was just about to go check them out, do you want to come along?"

Xu Ying was somewhat surprised. "Can I come along?"

"Okay, let's go."

"By the way, have you read my novel yet?"

Liu Meng was referring to the original novel, "The Last Bullet Is for Me." If Xu Ying had asked this question in his previous life, he would never have read it.

Xu Ying must have finished reading it long ago, not only this book, but also Liu Meng's "Wolf Fang".

Liu Meng's chubby face was filled with disbelief, his eyes filled with skepticism. "Judging from your expression, I'm starting to doubt you."

"Don't you believe me, Director Liu? Here's what you do: test me."

Liu Meng then recounted a few plot points, which Xu Ying quickly picked up on.

Liu Jing was somewhat surprised that Xu Ying had actually read his novel, and the two quickly began discussing the plot of the TV series.

Soon, the two arrived at the office where Luo Jin and Zhu Yilong were auditioning.

After Liu Meng went in, Xu Ying didn't go with him, but just stood at the door and looked around.

It must be said that Zhu Yilong's digital films are quite effective, and his acting skills have improved significantly compared to before.

Luo Jin's results were already out, and Zhu Yilong's results came out soon after. Their results weren't released immediately, but they were awaiting further notification.

Stepping out of Xiaoma Benteng Company, the afternoon sun felt very pleasant.

Luo Jin stretched and squinted, "Junior brother, congratulations on landing another lead role in a drama."

Luo Jin's tone was sincere; he genuinely hoped his junior brother would do better and better. As for himself, he was happy to act, but not passing the audition wouldn't affect him.

Xu Ying is in a really good mood right now, having landed the lead role in two dramas in a row: "The Temptation of Going Home" and "I Am a Special Forces Soldier".

Most importantly, Jing Tian is coming back today, saying she'll give him a surprise.

The two have been in a state of ambiguity for so long without any substantial progress. I wonder if we can finally break through that barrier tonight.

Zhu Yilong grinned and leaned closer, "We have to celebrate tonight! It's been so long since we brothers got together, it's on me!"

Xu Ying nodded with a smile, "When you weren't here last time, my senior brother mentioned that we shared the same blanket."

"Stop talking!" Zhu Yilong covered his face; he really didn't want to recall it.

"Hahaha."

Xu Ying checked the time; it was only noon. "Let's go. It's still early. Let's go back and surf the internet first, then pick someone up before we go eat."

Luo Jin laughed and said, "Sure, I still have money in that internet cafe."

"Who are you picking up?" Zhu Yilong asked.

"A girl~"

"Hey, Lao Xu, you didn't actually talk to him, did you? When? How come I didn't know?" Zhu Yilong looked incredulous, because Xu Ying was walking ahead of him once again.

"The car I'm driving is the one she gave me to drive." Xu Ying said smugly, shaking the BMW car keys in his hand.

"Damn, rich woman, Lao Xu, you haven't fallen into depravity, have you?" Zhu Yilong felt much better after hearing this. Sure enough, wealth and glory come at a price, but he couldn't bear to see his good brother like this.

He then advised, "Don't let that rich woman play you. You're not the same person now."

Luo Jin stood aside, smiling without saying a word. He didn't think much of it; he just assumed the girl was Yang Mi, and he still believed that Xu Ying and Yang Mi were dating.

"So what if she's a rich woman? She didn't know the joy of being a kept woman when she was young, and she wasted her youth planting rice seedlings backwards."

Xu Ying put away the keys and said casually, "Do you know what the flower language of steel wool is?"

"Steel wool?"

"The meaning of flowers?"

"Wealth and forbearance, let's go back to school~"

Zhu Yilong stood there, muttering these words to himself.

If it were a younger, wealthy woman, it wouldn't be out of the question...

Are there any young rich women?

Thinking of this, Zhu Yilong felt a chill.

Old Xu is no good person; he led me astray in just a short while!

"Wait for me!"
