The next afternoon Tang Xiu was called to the company by Li Ziping. "Fox Killing Terrace" has always been mysterious before, and no one expected that the casting would come so suddenly.It is said that the artists of the company wake up in the morning and receive the mail, so there is this spectacular scene where almost all the artists are present.

The casting site was on the 29th floor, and the entire corridor was crowded with people after getting out of the elevator.The smells of various perfumes are mixed, whether it is top-level salon fragrance or ordinary commercial fragrance, mixing them together will only have a pungent effect.The artists have various expressions, and the style of chatting is also strange. At a glance, one can make up a hundred stories in one's mind.

Tang Xiu smiled lowly, "This circle really does not disappoint."

"Don't watch the show, ancestor, you stand here, I'll get you a watch." Li Ziping pushed the crowd into the small conference room next to him, and negotiated with the staff for a while before coming out, holding two pieces of paper in his hand .

One is the outline of the story of "Fox Killing Terrace", and the other is the registration form.On the registration form, there was a column of "Competing Roles". All the names of the densely packed characters were roughly crossed out with a ballpoint pen, and there were only two left to choose from.

One is called Wild Fox, and the other is called Juvenile Jailer.Both characters are in the villain group.

Li Ziping's expression was a bit embarrassed, "I can't help it. You just joined the company yesterday, and they are only willing to audition for these two roles. You choose one, and I will hand it in for you after filling out the form."

"It doesn't matter." Tang Xiu wrote the name first, then flipped through the outline of the script, skimming through it.

"It seems that there is only the introduction of the main character."

"Yes. There are no introductions for small roles. The director will explain to you on the spot when you have an audition. You adapt accordingly."

Tang Xiu snorted and put a checkmark next to "Youth Jailor".

"Zhanhutai" is not a HE script, behind the beautiful and magical story is an insinuation of human nature.Thousands of years ago, the Fox Clan and the Human Clan had a good relationship, Renjun fell in love with the Queen of the Fox Clan, and the Fox King refused to give up his wife, so the despicable and narrow-minded Renjun ordered Ji Qing to wipe out the Fox Clan.Since then, the fox clan has hated people, and the remaining fox clan cannibalize and kill people everywhere, and the two clans have a deep blood feud.However, the human race is becoming stronger and stronger, and it is difficult for the fox clan to compete with them. The human race even set up a gorgeous and cruel fox-slaying platform, vowing to kill all the foxes in the world.

From there the story of the script unfolds.There are two male protagonists, one is the ruler of the time, and the other is the only remaining white fox with two tails in the fox clan.The name of the white fox is Xiaobai, its fur is like snow, it has two tails and double pupils, and it has two lives.With a clear mind, Xiaobai lost his life to save the man who strayed into the forest.Renjun and Xiaobai became close friends, chatted, drank and drank together, very happy.But this friendship between humans and foxes was soon discovered by the human race, and the generals threatened Renjun to kill Xiaobai, otherwise they would overthrow Renjun's rule and establish a new emperor.Although Renjun couldn't bear it, he was even more afraid of losing his power, so he finally tricked Xiaobai into killing the fox.

Tang Xiu was a little surprised after reading the synopsis of the plot, "The script ended so badly? The other books you showed me yesterday were all HE, I thought it was the trend."

Li Ziping sighed, "Everyone really loves cookies these days, and only a big director like Jiang Qiao dares to abuse the audience."

Hearing this, Tang Xiu thought of Jiang Qiao's venomous tongue in the elevator, and subconsciously curled his lips again.

Li Ziping handed in the registration form Tang Xiu had filled out, and the two of them stood in the corridor and waited.Tang Xiu looked inside and saw Song Mian and Lu Kangjing without any surprise.Li Ziping saw him looking over there, and said to him in a low voice, "Both of them fit Xiaobai's personality."

Tang Xiu nodded. He saw Song Mian and Lu Kangjing standing face to face. Song Mian occasionally said a few words to Lu Kangjing with a provocative expression.Lu Kangjing had no expression on his face, and persistently looked down at the materials in his hand, as if he was determined to be unreasonable with a mental patient standing beside him.

"How many interview rooms are there?" Tang Xiu asked.

"Four. One room for Jiang Qiao and the executive director, and one room for the other three assistant directors. The important roles are played by Jiang Qiao, and the rest are assigned randomly."

Tang Xiu nodded.

After waiting until nine o'clock in the evening, the people in the corridor left one group after another, and only a few were left. The staff finally opened the door and came out, scrolling through the form, "Tang Xiu?"

"Here I am."

"It's time for your audition." The staff looked around the interview rooms, pointed to the innermost part, "Go to Director Jiang."

Hearing this, Li Ziping seemed to be more nervous than Tang Xiu, and told Director Jiang to be strict several times, asking him to behave well.Tang Xiu smiled at him, and walked towards the innermost interview room.

The interview room was about the size of a small meeting room. As soon as Tang Xiu entered, he saw Jiang Qiao, and an older man was sitting beside him, evaluating the artist who had just left.Jiang Qiao waited patiently for the man to finish speaking before raising his head. After looking at Tang Xiu for a moment, he was obviously surprised.

"What's your name?"

"Tang Xiu."

The executive director asked: "What role are you trying?"

"Young jailer."

"Oh, this is a villain with a psychopath. He once witnessed grandma being killed by a wild fox, so he hated the fox clan very much in his heart. When Xiaobai was locked in the dungeon under the fox-killing platform, he was in charge of guarding him. In order to torture Xiaobai, he told He is the truth. You can think about the tone that such a person would use, just a few lines and just improvise, just get ready and start."

Tang Xiu nodded and said yes.He felt Jiang Qiao looking at him, so he looked back.Jiang Qiao didn't feel uncomfortable. He smiled at him, then lowered his head, and casually took his registration form to read.

"I can."

The executive director hummed, "Then please start."

Tang Xiu took two steps forward, bent down slightly, looked at the nothingness on the ground, his gentle expression disappeared, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Little fox, you are so beautiful, I heard that the two-tailed white fox—you are the only one in the world. There's only one."

His words were sarcasm, and his enunciation was cadenced and unaffected, which was very dramatic.

The executive director didn't expect Tang Xiu to cut in like this, and unconsciously sat up straight.After Tang Xiu finished one line, he didn't say the second line immediately, but turned his face slightly as if he was listening to Xiao Bai's response.His expression was very entertaining, his long eyebrows were slightly raised and his eyes were lowered into a sneer. After a while, he slowly stood up straight, raised his feet and turned around to leave. After taking two steps, he seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and then stopped and said, "Eat the prison meal." , you are the demon fox that His Majesty personally captured and killed, so I dare not neglect you."

After Tang Xiu finished speaking, he paused for two seconds before turning around, his expression had returned to calm, "Directors, I'm done."

The executive director hummed, not knowing what to say for a while.Jiang Qiao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Your point of entry is very good, and the way you reveal the truth is also very clever. A shot of ten seconds, this way of arranging the lines will not seem long-winded."

"Thank you director." Tang Xiu said.He was a little happy in his heart. Watching Jiang Qiao seemed promising. Although this role was very light, if he could join Song Mian or Lu Kangjing in the same crew, he would have the opportunity to continue to observe and follow up.

However, Tang Xiuxiu was planning, but Jiang Qiao suddenly changed the topic, "But there is one thing that is particularly bad."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and gestured for the route Tang Xiu walked just now, "From the shooting point of view, the camera will capture your expression when you get up and leave. Since you set the prison cell on your right side, you have to start from the left side. Turn around, or the cell door will block your face."

Jiang Qiao's expression was full of indifference and criticalness, it could even be said that he was putting on airs.He didn't wait for Tang Xiu to respond, and asked sharply: "I don't think you came from a major, how did you come to act?"

Tang Xiu still replied, "I think the people in this circle are interesting."

Jiang Qiao laughed when he heard the words, "So the two candidates on the registration form, the jailer and not the wild fox, is also because they are interesting?"

Tang Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly upon hearing this.This guy really has a poisonous tongue, he always has something in his words, and he likes to make a gesture of earnestly teaching.

Tang Xiu has lived for 1 years, everyone is his grandchildren, and he has never been used to others.So he raised his lips and smiled, "Both characters are very boring, but I have only been a human being, and I have never seen the world from the perspective of a fox, so I choose the character instead of the fox."

The director who was watching the excitement at the side immediately failed, and said to Jiang Qiao with a smile: "The newcomer is quite straightforward."

Jiang Qiao smiled inscrutably, but said to Tang Xiu.

"Newcomer, you can go out now."

Tang Xiu hummed and said goodbye to the two directors politely.When he turned around, he saw Jiang Qiao pull out the pen in his hand and draw a cross on his registration form.

In fact, he felt that his performance was more than enough for this small role. If it was just that low-level mistake, it would be fine, but how could a director like Jiang Qiao who has a vicious tongue and loves to show off accept being provoked.

Those who are jealous must be avenged, and the public avenges private revenge.

Tang Xiu rubbed the bridge of his nose with some anxiety, thinking, how can an ancestor who has lived for 1 years still care about a mortal who is less than 30 years old.

It was he who was impulsive, but the guy's tone of voice really needs repairing.

Walking out of the interview room, Li Ziping trotted over anxiously to ask how he was doing. Tang Xiu told Jiang Qiao's reaction, and Li Ziping sighed and said, "Hey, Director Jiang has a characteristic. He can't just scold the actor he likes. Praise. If you make such a basic mistake and he still comforts you, it’s probably useless.”

Tang Xiu was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, "Actually, he asked a very provocative question just now. I didn't give in, and the atmosphere wasn't harmonious."

Li Ziping rolled his eyes this time, "Forget it, just scolding and not boasting is acting. How dare you argue with him in normal questions and answers? Jiang Qiao's temper, I'm afraid he will directly blacklist you, the one who will be black for life kind."

"And you don't know, this boss has a big temper, and the most annoying actor is not to obey."

Hearing this, Tang Xiu wanted to snort coldly, but swallowed it back.It's a pity that he didn't get into the crew of "Zhan Hutai", but in fact, he was more concerned about who got the role of Xiaobai, Song Mian or Lu Kangjing.

That night, the Jihun Banner was silent.

The next morning, Tang Xiu heard some gossip in the training class.It seemed that part of yesterday's casting results came out. Although there was no announcement, it was said that someone saw Lu Kangjing entering Jiang Qiao's temporary office early in the morning and came out with a smile on his face.

Tang Xiu matched the name of the person with the face in his mind, and recorded this clue in his heart.

The lecturer hired by the company explained the four elements of an actor's lines before the projection. Tang Xiu was seriously taking notes when the mobile phone placed on the table vibrated suddenly, and the name "Li Ziping" was displayed on it.He gestured to the teacher apologetically, walked out of the classroom quickly and picked up the phone, "Hello?"

Li Ziping's excited voice came through the receiver, "Tang Xiu, I just received a notification that you were shortlisted for yesterday's interview! The specific role has not yet been determined, but your name is definitely on the shortlist."

Tang Xiu was stunned.

"Are you surprised? Are you surprised?"

Tang Xiu sighed. There are accidents. As for surprises...

"I'm on the fourteenth floor, come and find me, hurry up."
