Huayu started from the Three Kingdoms period

Swimming is a good skill, but what's the point of rhythmic gymnastics?

Xu Ying silently closed the system panel; this system was becoming increasingly perfunctory.

"Hello, Senior Sister Liu Jing and Senior Sister Zhao Ke." Xu Ying greeted the two politely with a smile.

The two women were somewhat surprised, not expecting that the other party would recognize them, and they both returned a gentle smile.

"Hello, junior brother."

To be fair, the Beijing Film Academy has a fairly wide network within the entertainment industry.

Not to mention the actors, there are a large number of directors alone.

This is the advantage of having a powerful backer. Xu Ying and Zhu Yilong had struggled for so long before, but they still couldn't find the right direction.

They completely forgot their own strengths.

Gao Xixi gestured for Xu Ying to take a seat.

After Xu Ying came over and sat down, he greeted Chen Jianbing and Chen Hao.

Chen Jianbing was somewhat surprised by Xu Yingneng's arrival and unexpectedly smiled happily.

Xu Ying was still a little unaccustomed to Lao Deng's enthusiasm.

He happened to be sitting next to Chen Hao, who looked exceptionally beautiful today.

Her three-dimensional facial features, combined with willow-leaf eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, along with her heart-shaped face and slightly upturned corners of her mouth, make her both charming and elegant.

Other newcomers would have felt uneasy, but Xu Ying didn't; he only had admiration in his eyes.

Chen Hao met Xu Ying's gaze without any attempt to hide it, knowing that Xu Ying was there to learn, and her eyes were filled with admiration.

She really likes the saying, "Never give up the ability to learn."

Seeing Xu Ying looking around, I assumed he was a little nervous.

Chen Hao didn't act like a senior just because he'd been in the industry a few years longer. He parted his red lips slightly and said in a very gentle tone, "Teacher Xu, don't be nervous. Just watch more."

Chen Hao's gentle words made Xu Ying feel as if she were bathed in a spring breeze.

"Okay, Teacher Chen, you can just call me Xu Ying."

"Then you can call me Sister Chen Hao, the teacher has been calling me old." Chen Hao said with a smile.

*Sigh*, I don't call younger women "sister," just kidding.

Xu Ying still obediently called her "Sister Chen Hao".

"Hey, people's here. Observe and learn more."

For some reason, Xu Ying felt that this older sister really treated him like a younger brother.

Oh, Sister Chen is so gentle.

The audition began, and Xu Yingben, who was there to learn, naturally wouldn't waste the opportunity.

Most of the problems during the preparation of the TV series "New Three Kingdoms" were related to the casting. Chen Jianbing and Yu Hewei both wanted to play Cao Cao, but since the role had already been decided, Yu Hewei had to play Liu Bei instead.

Ni Dahong also didn't want to play Sima Yi.

Now that most of the important characters have been cast, only one more remains: Zhang Fei.

This audition is for the role of Zhang Fei.

Kang Kai had known director Gao Xixi for many years, and his audition for the role of Zhang Fei was essentially a self-recommendation.

To fit the image, I've been gaining weight like crazy lately.

Chen Hao whispered these things to Xu Ying.

Xu Ying only learned these things then, but apart from these, he seemed to remember that after playing Zhang Fei, Kang Kai went straight to the point where he had no roles to play.

After watching Kang Kai's audition, apart from Gao Xixi being very happy, Xu Ying noticed that Chen Jianbing's face darkened a bit.

After all, the director called them in, and now we really don't know where to find a suitable actor.

......

On the third day, Xu Ying's down payment arrived, and he happily bought milk tea for the director and several actors.

After a few days, the auditions are all over, and Director Gao has started revising the script again.

Xu Ying's relationship with Chen Jianbing also changed during these few days, and this change occurred after he smoked.

After Chen Jianbing finished smoking Xu Ying's cigarettes, he considered him a kindred spirit and would often drag Xu Ying along to smoke with Gao Xixi.

The three became smoking buddies, and the way he addressed Chen Jianbing naturally changed from "Teacher Chen" to "Brother Bing".

Because Xu Ying consulted with the "Wan Renmi" (a popular female celebrity) about scripts every day, his way of addressing her changed; he now called her "good older sister."

"Hey sis, I bought you some watermelon juice~"

"Thank you, dear brother."

Chen Hao is going to an event today and will leave after lunch.

In the afternoon, Xu, Ying, and the other two smoked together again.

After I finish this cigarette, we'll be disbanding in Hengdian and heading to Zhuozhou to make preparations.

Gao Xixi won't be going there for the time being; his new drama "Paper Drunken Gold" is undergoing final adjustments, and he needs to keep an eye on it.

Gao Xixi took a deep drag of his cigarette and slowly exhaled. "Xu Ying, there's a drama that needs a supporting role. Would you like to give it a try?"

Xu Ying paused for a moment, then said, "Of course I can give it a try. It would be great to have a role to play."

Without hesitation, he asked, "Will it conflict with 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'?"

"No, it's a war drama," Gao Xixi said with a smile. "Have you seen 'Soldiers' Sortie'?"

Xu Ying nodded.

Gao Xixi chuckled and started talking about Kang Honglei, the director of "Soldiers Sortie," and Lan Xiaolong, the screenwriter.

After filming "Soldiers Sortie", the two thought about making another similar film and finally decided to make a film about the Expeditionary Force.

All the roles had been cast, but one actor injured his leg and had to withdraw. Since Gao Xixi was auditioning actors recently, Kang Honglei contacted Gao Xixi to see if he had any actor recommendations.

The only requirement is that the male actor be relatively young.

The cast of "New Three Kingdoms" consists of veteran actors, and the younger ones are quite skilled.

Gao Xixi naturally thought of Xu Ying. Although they had only known each other for a short time, he felt that this kid was destined for great things.

A fine horse is common, but a discerning eye is rare, so he doesn't mind being that discerning eye.

"I heard from Director Gao that we need to undergo a month of physical and tactical training before filming starts," Chen Jianbing reminded him. "You should think carefully about whether you can handle this kind of hardship."

Chen Jianbing was afraid that Xu Ying would agree at first but then become afraid later, which is a big no-no for an actor.

Xu Ying wasn't afraid of hardship. Besides, he wasn't some naive and foolish college student. But why did this drama feel so familiar?

"What's the name of this show?"

"Let me think," Gao Xixi said after a moment's thought. "It's adapted from Lan Xiaolong's novel, called 'My Chief and My Regiment'."

My Chief and My Regiment?

This TV series is very famous and is a classic in the hearts of many people.

Xu Ying herself doesn't know how many times she's watched it, and she cries every time she watches it...

Characters like Long Wenzhang, Meng Fanle, and Mi Long are truly unforgettable.

"What kind of role is it?" Xu Ying asked.

"He looks like a soldier from Sichuan Province."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ying immediately knew who it was.

Zhang Lixian, a major who graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy.

"I'll give it a try."

I've already decided to pursue acting, so I definitely have to seize any good opportunities that come my way.

"Okay, then I'll recommend you." Gao Xixi's eyes were full of approval. Young people need to have the drive to succeed. "Don't worry about the production team. Your scenes were scheduled for later anyway. If there's not enough time, we can adjust it later."

"Director Gao, aren't you being a little too confident in me?"

"If you can't even pass the audition, it just means they're blind," Chen Jianbing said dismissively. He could tell whether someone was suitable or not with just one glance. Xu Ying was an exception.
