HuaYu14: Female celebrities are going too fast.

The audition room was brightly lit, and four people were sitting behind a long table.

"Hello, directors." Zhou Xun greeted them politely.

"Hello." Guo Jingyu looked Zhou Xun up and down, flipped through the documents in her hand, and got straight to the point:

"I've seen your portrayal of Lü Bu; he's very good. But Lü Bu and Yang Kang are completely different kinds of people. How do you understand Yang Kang?"

"Yang Kang is not a villain." Zhou Xun said without hesitation. "Or rather, he doesn't see himself as a villain."

Guo Jingyu straightened up and tapped her fingers on the table, signaling him to continue.

"Yang Kang grew up in the Jin Dynasty palace..."

In the waiting room, Meng Ziyi pressed her face against the door, her eyes fixed on the sliver of light shining through the crack.

She tried to make out the figures inside through the narrow gap.

Zhou Xun's unhurried voice could be faintly heard from inside the audition room, but it was impossible to make out exactly what he was saying.

Seeing her like this, Li Yitong shook her head helplessly, stood up and walked over, gently patting her shoulder.

Meng Ziyi was startled and turned around abruptly. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it was Li Yitong. She lowered her voice:

"What are you doing? You scared me to death!"

"If you peek at him through the crack in the door, he'll have even less chance of getting through!"

"Why?" Meng Ziyi asked, puzzled.

"By looking at it that way, aren't you underestimating Zhou Xun?"

"That's true." Meng Ziyi nodded and stood up.

In the audition room, after listening to Zhou Xun's understanding of Yang Kang, Guo Jingyu nodded in agreement:

"No wonder he was able to make Lü Bu so popular; he must have put in a lot of effort behind the scenes."

At this point, it seems this role is practically a done deal. Guo Jingyu continued:

"Perform a short piece on the spot so I can see it."

He pushed an A4 sheet of paper to the side of the table: "The martial arts contest for marriage."

Zhou Xun took the paper and nodded...

"Okay, you're the one!" Guo Jingyu finally made the decision. "Go get your measurements taken this afternoon, and you'll train with them tomorrow."

Zhou Xun nodded and left the audition room. He told Su Qing to discuss the subsequent payment with him.

As soon as the audition room door opened, Meng Ziyi came to greet her:

"How was it? How was it? Did we pass?"

Looking at her, Zhou Xun's lips curled up slightly: "That's too much."

Meng Ziyi's face was beaming: "I knew you could do it!"

She added stubbornly, "Now that's settled, I have a legitimate reason to train you in martial arts. No slacking off, okay?"

Before Zhou Xun could speak, Li Yitong added:

"He played Lü Bu before, so it's hard to say who'll be leading whom!"

"I contacted them a week in advance!"

Li Yitong didn't refute, but changed the subject: "Let's go, it's getting late, let's have lunch together."

"Okay!" Meng Ziyi jumped in front of Zhou Xun. "Let me tell you, there's a beef noodle shop over here that's really delicious..."

Zhou Xun went to eat with the two of them, while Su Qingci wisely did not follow.

Then I helped Zhou Xun tidy up his room, made his bed, and took care of [Jie Jie Jie].

The three walked along chatting and laughing, completely unaware that a top-tier young actress was passing by them.

Naza stopped and watched the three figures disappear into the distance.

"What's wrong with Sister Zha?" Assistant Xia asked, looking at her with a puzzled expression.

"Isn't that Zhou Xun?"

Xia looked in her direction and finally said:

"My dear sister, I know you love Zhou Xun, but you can't just assume it's him based on the shape of a boy's back, can you?!"

Naza nodded and continued walking forward: "Looks like I was seeing things."

"That's true, how could Zhou Xun possibly be walking alone with two girls?"

Once Naza arrived at the hotel, he made a video call to Zhou Xun.

At that moment, Zhou Xun was eating noodles at a noodle shop. He took out his vibrating phone from his pocket, saw that it was Nazha, and immediately pressed the power button.

"Why aren't you answering the phone?" Meng Ziyi asked, with noodles still hanging from her mouth.

"It was a harassing call," Zhou Xun brushed it off, and Meng Ziyi didn't press the matter further.

The phone rang again not long after he pressed the button.

Meng Ziyi and Li Yitong both stared at him.

This time, Zhou Xun didn't hang up. He continued eating his noodles, pretending that it was inconvenient for him to answer the call.

I placed the phone on the table and put it on speakerphone.

A woman's voice came from the other end of the phone, but Meng Ziyi and Li Yitong buried their heads in their noodles after hearing it.

They recognized the speaker; it was Zhou Xun's manager and assistant, Su Qingci.

"Boss, the room is all cleaned up, and the cat has been fed."

"The body measurement and fitting are scheduled for 3 p.m., Director Guo's assistant just sent a message to confirm."

"Martial arts training starts at 7:30 tomorrow morning. They specifically told you to dress casually."

"I've already had a preliminary discussion with the production company about the actor's salary."

"Okay. Thank you for your hard work," Zhou Xun said. "You should also go eat early."

"Of course," Su Qingci said. "Just call me if anything comes up."

"OK."

When they hung up the phone, all three of them had finished their noodles.

Zhou Xun pulled out a tissue, wiped his mouth, and called out, "Boss, the bill!"

"Zhou Xun, let me pay," Meng Ziyi insisted on paying the bill.

"I've already paid."

"Alright."

The three parted ways in the hotel lobby: "You've been running around with me all day, go back and get some rest."

"Okay." Meng Ziyi waved to Zhou Xun. "See you this afternoon."

Zhou Xun returned to his room, where his shoulder bag was placed on the table. He did not allow Su Qingci to touch his things.

He lay back on the bed, picked up [JieJieJie] who was sleeping in the cat bed, and hugged her in his arms.

After failing to get through on the phone, Naza did not choose to continue calling.

Instead, she sent a message: "[Don't forget to call me back when you're done.]"

Zhou Xun took out his phone and called her back. The phone rang several times before she answered.

In the video, Naza is leaning against the headboard, yawning and rubbing his eyes.

"Did the phone call disturb you?" Zhou Xun asked with concern.

"No." Naza calmed down a bit. "I fell asleep while waiting for your call."

"I was just auditioning and didn't see the phone," Zhou Xun explained.

"Huh?" Naza, upon hearing that he was auditioning in the middle of the day, fully woke up: "Why are you auditioning in the middle of the day?"

"Maybe auditions are easier to pass at noon!" Zhou Xun joked. "They're all thinking about eating, they don't have time to make things difficult for me."

Naza chuckled and then said:

"I was probably thinking about you too much just now, and I saw a guy whose back looked a lot like yours walking with two girls."

Zhou Xun's heart skipped a beat, but he showed no sign of it on his face:

"If you see a guy who looks just like me, will you still be able to act well in the future?"

"Oh dear. I just wanted to tell you, I miss you so much!"

Zhou Xun breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed that Nazha didn't know that the boy was him.

They're both in this area, so they need to be careful once they leave the film set!

As he was thinking this, Naza spoke again:

"So, haven't you eaten yet?"

"Not yet," Zhou Xun said. "I rushed to the hotel to call you back as soon as the audition ended."

Hearing Zhou Xun say this, Na Zha felt a warmth in her heart, but she scolded him aloud:

"Why didn't you go eat first and then call me?"

"I was just worried you'd get impatient waiting, wasn't I?"

"Idiot!" Naza glared at him. "Couldn't you have texted me?"

"Go eat now, I'm hanging up! I'll call you back tonight!"

"it is good."

Zhou Xun did not try to stop him. Only someone who has cheated on their partner would act out of character and inexplicably want to look at the other person more.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Xun scrolled through Weibo.

I saw Meng Ziyi's latest Weibo post; it was just published:

[New role in place! So happy to be working with @ZhouXun, looking forward to filming together.]

There are already hundreds of comments below: [Is this Zhou Xun's new drama? Is Nazha in it? Are they a couple?]

What show is it?

[Looking forward to it!]

Zhou Xun also replied below: [Let's make progress together!]

Soon someone followed up on Zhou Xun's comment: [Arresting a wild Zhou Xun.]

Zhou Xun smiled, and then his WeChat buzzed with a message from Fan Xiaopang:

Is my younger brother available now?

P.S.: Guys, post some pictures!
