Soon Su Xinghe got the audition script.

In the fairy tale dramas of the past few years, the male protagonists are usually cold-blooded immortals, and this one is certainly no exception.

It’s just that the Immortal Lord in this drama is a white-faced villain. He is the best person in the immortal world and also the worst person.

And the reason why he is so divided is just because he wants revenge.

As his childhood playmate, the heroine was originally the unique white moonlight in his heart, but he could not give up his obsession, so he eventually turned against the heroine.

The two tortured each other again and again, hurting themselves and hurting their bodies, and in the end, they almost died together.

Su Xinghe, a simple little Taoist priest, saw such complicated joys and sorrows for the first time. He couldn't sleep all night, and his eyes were swollen when he woke up the next day.

Zheng Ming was so frightened that he quickly boiled two eggs for him to apply to his eyes.

Su Xinghe was still depressed. While he was hatching the eggs, he felt like crying again: "It's so tragic; Qiu Xuan is so miserable."

Qiu Xuan is the male protagonist of 'The Universe'.

Su Xinghe, who read the novel for the first time, was completely shocked by the ups and downs of the plot.

He simply could not imagine that apart from being a loser in cultivation and fainting after seeing ghosts, there was such a tragic figure as Qiu Xuan in the world.

Worse than Mr. Qin, who is full of ghosts!

Zheng Ming has also read the original work, but unlike Su Xinghe, he grew up reading novels. Although he thinks 'The Universe' is interesting, he is not as immersed in it as Su Xinghe.

After Su Xinghe applied it to his eyes, he finally understood Mr. Qin's painstaking efforts.

Such a good story and such a good person, of course, it should be filmed for everyone to see.

Zheng Ming nodded in agreement when he heard this. This character and plot cannot be justified without being praised for their popularity.

"Brother, the audition will be held in a few days. You should prepare well these days. Sister Zhang said that if you don't understand anything, you can ask the teacher."

Su Xinghe nodded. The character of Qiu Xuan was too complex and heavy, and he was worried that he would not be able to play the role well.

If the performance failed, he would not be able to forgive himself.

The weapon spirit was very pleased to see that Su Xinghe was so ambitious: "I also read the original work last night. It is indeed more difficult, but it doesn't matter; we still have exams!"

As long as there are exams, they are not afraid of anything!

When Su Xinghe heard about the exam, he felt relieved for a moment.

He is a person with real test papers!

So the weapon spirit went to find some movies for Su Xinghe to watch.

Seeing that the audition was about to take place, Zhang Qing also asked Zheng Ming about Su Xinghe.

Zheng Ming said, "Brother Su stays at home every day."

Zhang Qing was a little confused: "Didn't he go to the company?"

Zheng Ming shook his head and said, "Brother Su said he was in retreat."

"Retreat?" As long as it's not that 'retreat' and burn incense, the others are fine.

On the other side, Qin Xuan was also looking forward to Su Xinghe's performance and added Su Xinghe to the candidate list of the leading actor, of course, because of his selfish motives.

Tiancheng does have several male artists with good looks and temperament, and the first few are even more famous than Su Xinghe, but the one he is most optimistic about is Su Xinghe.

As for why?

Asking is a filter for the sponsor’s father.

On the day of the audition, many people arrived.

The director this time is called Zhou Cheng. He has filmed many fairy tale dramas, most of which have become popular, so inviting him here this time also represents Tiancheng and Orange Network’s determination to make dramas well.

In addition to Zhou Cheng, the original author and screenwriter also participated in this audition, and even Orange Network sent someone over.

"Boss Qin, I heard that this time there is a young man chosen by you, right? Then I have to take a good look at him." Zhou Cheng is a chubby man, and he looks like Maitreya Buddha when he smiles.

Qin Xuan recently received the blessing of the Peace Talisman, and his energy has improved a lot, and his mood has also improved. Hearing this, he showed a slight smile: "They are all natural artists, and they still need your guidance, Director Zhou."

Everyone exchanged greetings. After that, the audition began.

In this audition, everyone wore makeup. After all, appearance is very important in fairy tale dramas. No matter how good the acting is, if the appearance is not up to par, it will be in vain.

Su Xinghe was last in line. He sat in the dressing room with a cold face and let the makeup artist put a hood on his head.

Zheng Ming was sitting neatly in the back. Those who didn't know it thought he was listening to the teacher's instructions.

Not only he but also the makeup artists were very gentle. Usually, they would chat with the artists, but today they didn't dare at all.

Because as soon as Su Xinghe walked in, it was like an iceberg hitting the dressing room.

The dressing room can only be silent!

Su Xinghe is, of course, not scary and was even quite good-looking, but his demeanor was as if he were a copy and paste of the sullen President Qin!

The makeup artist put on the hood while screaming in her mind.

The four words "noble and cool" have become perfect!

This goblin was sitting right in front of her!

Hasn't it been said that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, no one could become a spirit?

The makeup artist's heart was trembling, but the movements of her hands were not slow at all. Soon the Immortal Lord in the book appeared in the mirror.

Su Xinghe lowered his eyes. Those eyes were as bright as stars, but the emotions inside were as restrained as an abyss with no bottom.

This strange contrast is not abrupt but makes him even more unpredictable.

For example, Zheng Ming currently feels unpredictable.

The last time he saw Brother Su, Brother Su was still the little sunshine that everyone loved. Why did he change like this today?

It’s too fast to enter the drama!

"Brother Su, our audition will be here soon; why don't we wait outside first?" Zheng Ming summoned up the courage to whisper.

Su Xinghe stood up. He was just cold before, but now when he puts on makeup, he looks like a cold and distant immortal.

Zheng Ming looked at the figure with fluttering clothes in front of him and was worried that Brother Su would ride on a dragon and ride on the clouds while walking.

At the same time, director Zhou Cheng was writing and drawing in his notebook.

The previous actors were all familiar to him, and he probably knew their performances well. Sure enough, looking at them today, they looked similar to those in the past.

As for who to choose, he only liked Lin Ran, who had just finished the audition.

Lin Ran has been acting for six or seven years. He is currently the most popular male artist in Tiancheng. He has one or two male actors every year. Although it is only a small online drama, it has attracted some fans. After putting on a white dress, he looks pretty good. The acting skills are adequate. If the newcomer in the end is not good, then he will choose Lin Ran.

Others had similar ideas.

“Is there only one left now?” Director Zhou asked.

The assistant next to him said, "Well, only Teacher Su is left."

Director Zhou glanced at Qin Xuan, who nodded and said, "Then please invite Teacher Su in."

Su Xinghe met Lin Ran at this time.

Zhang Qing had told him before that among the competitors this time, the most competitive one was Lin Ran, the first brother who signed with Tiancheng very early.

Of course, Su Xinghe had completely forgotten about this since he started taking the exam. After all, his brain was not very good, and he was a bit unable to get out of the play.

So when he saw Lin Ran, he left without even stopping.

In the eyes of the Immortal, no one except the white moonlight can take notice.

Lin Ran:...

The smile he originally wore could no longer be maintained.

Not only because Su Xinghe ignored him, but also because Su Xinghe's appearance and temperament were so good.

At that moment, he thought that the Qiu Xuan Immortal Lord had come back to life.

Lin Ran's assistant's eyes widened when she saw this. She originally thought that Brother Lin's appearance was good enough, but she didn't expect that there was a better one here.

Seeing this, Zheng Ming puffs up his chest proudly.

You mortals, you must have been petrified by the Immortal Lord!

In the audition room on the other side, everyone was also stunned.

Zhou Cheng looked at Su Xinghe with his small eyes, from top to bottom, from left to right, for a full minute before he came back to his senses.

Judging from his years of experience in fairy tale dramas, Su Xinghe is definitely in the first echelon in terms of appearance.

What's even better is Su Xinghe's temperament.

It is not difficult to interpret indifference, and everyone can do it, but Qiu Xuan's personality is not like that. He had a bad temper until he became an adult. If it were not for the changes that happened later, he should have been a cluster of fire, not a block of ice.

Therefore, his coldness is not so much inhumane as it is full of hatred.

He hates the world, so he doesn't bother to speak or interact with others.

But he knew that this kind of emotion could not be exposed or noticed by others, so he had been restraining himself—to outsiders, he was just aloof and untouched by the world.

Zhou Cheng didn't find this subtle feeling in any of the other actors and only caught a trace of it in Su Xinghe's eyes.

Even a director like Zhou Cheng, who has photographed many celebrities, couldn't help but want to praise Su Xinghe's eyes.

It’s so spiritual and amazing.

Such delicate emotions and tiny differences seem to be all in those eyes.

Qin Xuan was not calm at the moment.

He should be the person who knows Su Xinghe the most in this room. In his eyes, Su Xinghe is like a little sun, which makes people forget their worries at first sight. But now...

He can't help but have the same doubts as Zheng Ming; it’s just a matter of seclusion. How come you can shut people up like this?

Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhou Cheng took the lead and said, "Teacher Su, let's try the scene today where Qiu Xuan meets Qi Zhi for the first time after becoming immortal."

Qi Zhi is Qiu Xuan's childhood sweetheart and the woman he loves most.

But they had lost each other many years ago. When they met again, Qi Zhi was a small immortal who had just ascended to heaven, and Qiu Xuan was a high and mighty immortal.

Not only are their identities as different as heaven and earth, but even the love they had seems to be unable to go back to when they were young.

Su Xinghe nodded. He was very familiar with this scene. After all, this was his first scene.

For Su Xinghe, who has been swimming in the sea of ​​topics for a week, becoming Qiu Xuan is already his instinct at this moment.

The female assistant next to him stood up; the actress who played Qi Zhi was not here today, so she took her place.

She had acted opposite several other actors before, but now she became nervous because Teacher Su's eyes were so oppressive.

She swallowed and regained her composure.

In the original novel, when Qi Zhi ascended to heaven, she became friends with a proud immortal. This proud immortal was originally a cold person, but contrary to his usual behavior, he took care of her in every way, making her a target of criticism. She suffered a lot of difficulties, both openly and secretly. She was about to fight back against those who bullied her, but she saw the arrogant immortal in front of her suddenly lower his head nervously and even step aside.

She subconsciously looked to the side and saw a man walking out of the waterside pavilion.

This man wore a silver crown and a silver-white robe with wide sleeves and a collar. He had no other decorations on his body. He was as clean and cold as if he were wrapped in ice and snow, making people feel a cold fragrance mixed with the wind and snow coming towards his face.

Such a person must have a high status in the Immortal Palace.

Qi Zhi knew that she should step aside at this moment, but she stood there in a daze because this man looked very much like an old friend of hers who had passed away long ago.

She was motionless, which naturally attracted the man's attention.

With a faint glance, when that familiar face came into view, the aloof Qiu Xuan Immortal Lord felt a huge wave in his heart, but his expression did not change, and he did not even look at Qi Zhi.

Without stopping, he left.

But when he reached a deserted place, he could not help but stop; his eyes were filled with waves, and he held the name that haunted him for a long time before he let it out with a sigh.

This scene ends here.

Qin Xuan felt his ears itching when he heard those two words.

On weekdays, he is obviously a carefree little sun. Why is that sigh so heartbreaking?

Zhou Cheng started writing and drawing in the notebook again. The original author and screenwriter next to him took a peek and discovered that Director Zhou had drawn the storyboards of the scene just now.

It seems that Director Zhou already has a suitable candidate in mind.

What a coincidence; she happened to have one too.

The group of people all stared at Su Xinghe standing in front of them with intense eyes.

However, Su Xinghe has not yet broken away from Qiu Xuan's emotions. After all, he has been dithering in the sea of ​​questions for too long for this audition.

It wasn't until Qin Xuan stood up and talked to him that he slowly came back to his senses.

Huh? Is the audition over?

After studying the questions for a week, he finally finished the exam?

Su Xinghe suddenly let out the breath he had been holding and instantly detached himself from the role of Qiu Xuan, showing Qin Xuan a smile like a little sun.

It was so refreshing to see my boss, landlord, and funder dad!
