After the live broadcast, Su Xinghe found that his Weibo messages and likes seemed to have increased a lot.

He clicked on a few comments and found that they were all praising him.

He was embarrassed by the praise.

At this time, he must look for the comments of the haters so that he can balance his mentality.

Su Xinghe randomly clicked on a marketing account and found no smears on him, but only found the scandal between him and Ji Yujia, which was spread with details, as if this marketing account slept under his bed at night.

If it really slept under his bed, then they should know that the person sleeping in his bed was not Ji Yujia, but Mr. Qin from their company!

As a beacon, Mr. Qin gave him great help on the road of fear of ghosts, and he must not be without a name!

So he passed the gossip to Qin Xuan with a laugh and then wrote a note, "They wrote the wrong person!"

Qin Xuan's heart jumped when he saw the message.

But he quickly realized that Su Xinghe was just joking with him.

Ah...

The slightly depressed President Qin simply replied, "Then do you want to clear my name?"

Su Xinghe still laughed, "Then I must clear your name!"

President Qin said again, "Then how long will it take for me to have a name?"

Su Xinghe said, "That depends on how long it takes for the marketing account to discover this fact."

After President Qin and Su Xinghe said a lot of meaningless words, he sadly drew a cross on today's calendar.

Looking up at his calendar, it was full of crosses.

Ever since he realized that he couldn't hold back his affection for Su Xinghe, he drew more and more crosses.

He wonders how many calendars he has to cross out before Su Xinghe will come to his senses?

Or should he be more proactive?

Mr. Qin hesitated for once.

Otherwise, he should write a plan for himself first?

Su Xinghe had no idea that he had caused trouble to Qin Xuan. After closing the chat box, he took out the script that he had flipped through until the pages were rolled up.

The movie "Silence" is not particularly novel. After all, there have been several suspense detective dramas released in recent years, and the performances are all mediocre.

But the case in this script is indeed quite interesting.

Although Su Xinghe did not even finish reading the first case because the script was incomplete, the opening was enough to attract him.

Moreover, the director of this drama is notoriously strict with actors, and he really wants to go to such a crew to have a look.

A week later, it was finally time for the audition.

In order to match the image of the second male lead, Su Xinghe wore a suit and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. Even his hair was combed with hair gel, very neat, without any mess.

Zhang Qing looked around him for a long time and finally called the company's publicity officer to take a set of photos of Su Xinghe.

This style full of abstinence must be recorded.

The photographer was also amazed by Su Xinghe's new look today.

Su Xinghe usually wears T-shirts. Although he knows that he has a good figure, when he puts on a slim suit, his advantages of long legs and arms, broad shoulders, and a thin waist are completely exposed.

Male models on the catwalk are almost like this, right?

And he is still the same person, why does he look so different today?

The photographer was a little excited, thinking that the photos taken today must be correct.

This is not the first time that Su Xinghe has worn a suit. He wore it for events before, but this time it was different.

Because for Yu Hanyan, the second male lead of "Silence", a suit is not just a piece of clothing but also a layer of skin that wraps himself up.

In Yu Hanyan's closet, they can't find any T-shirts, jeans, or other loose and casual clothes.

Just as he firmly believes that strict rules can achieve peace, he has no good feelings for any clothes that can't wrap his body well.

So he wears a suit differently from others. The former follows the absolute rules in his cognition, while the latter only meets the needs of a certain occasion.

Su Xinghe currently has no way to fully experience Yu Hanyan's world, but he is willing to feel it.

Putting on a suit seriously is the first step.

The shooting started soon.

He stood expressionlessly on the balcony, with high-rise buildings behind him, reflecting dazzling light in the sun, like a crawling steel beast in the city, full of the noise, busyness, and unreasonableness of modern society.

Behind him, the old buildings and streets have long been replaced by modern buildings that are changing with each passing day. The world is irresistible, unstoppable, and free.

But he himself, although wearing a suit representing modern civilization and dressed like the elites who go in and out of various high-end office buildings, is incompatible with the world behind him.

He is gloomy, gray, and difficult to approach, like a knight who sticks to his own world. Even if he looks bright and beautiful, he can't hide his temperament—he is a very strict person who abides by the rules.

The photographer almost never stopped his fingers. This time, he was like a toolman, and he didn't need to do any guidance at all because Su Xinghe only needed to stand there, and the conflicts and contradictions in the photos were already overwhelming.

The photographer thought he had seen many stars with strong expressiveness, but Su Xinghe still made him feel excited for the first time in a long time.

Zhang Qing picked up the water cup next to her and couldn't help but take a sip.

She always knew that Su Xinghe was very, very good-looking, otherwise, she wouldn't have signed him, but in her eyes, only mature men have the charm to capture her eyes.

Su Xinghe has never been in this range.

But today, Zhang Qing sighed, she was actually seduced by a young man.

If there really was such a person, she would definitely be in trouble.

Fortunately, this is just the second male lead in a movie.

After taking the photos, Su Xinghe and his group arrived at the interview place.

Perhaps because of the change of clothes, the people in the hotel did not recognize Su Xinghe for the first time.

But soon, they found a face that was exactly the same as Qiu Xuan Immortal Lord.

Several young women were checking in at the hotel lobby. When they turned around, they saw Su Xinghe walking towards the elevator.

They were stunned for a few seconds, then they immediately realized what was going on.

That seemed to be their brother Xinghe!

Why is Brother Xinghe so cool today? His pace is as if he is going to kill people!

He is indeed killing people. He killed them all with his charm.

If they were not concerned about this being a public place, they would have wanted to scream to express their inner surprise.

After the elevator closed, a few people began to inquire.

But before they could find out the specific news, they saw a group of people surrounding a star and getting on the elevator.

So what activities are there in this hotel today?

In the conference room, Su Xinghe was the second to arrive. Before him, an actor had already arrived.

Unlike him, this actor named Liu Yuanzheng has never acted in any TV series. He debuted as the third male lead in a movie and later acted as the second male lead in a movie. He is a young man who is generally favored by the film industry.

According to Zhang Qing, he is also his biggest competitor this time.

The two of them looked at each other and soon showed a standard smile that met social expectations.

After they greeted each other, several other interviewees also entered the conference room one after another.

Su Xinghe counted and found that there were eight interviewees in total. He should be the one with the least experience because, except for him, everyone else has acted in movies.

He was looking at others, and others were also looking at him.

We are all in the same circle, and the news spreads very quickly.

The ages of those present are between 20 and 25, and they are natural competitors, so they have done their homework on Su Xinghe in advance.

Obviously, this is a very lucky young man. He was discovered as an extra in Chang Town at the age of 18 and became the hottest dark horse in the entertainment industry this year when he just turned 20. Even the resource-rich people who are strongly promoted by capital cannot match this kind of luck.

It is indeed very enviable. Many people present have been struggling for four or five years, but they are not as popular as Su Xinghe now.

Just the actors in TV dramas want to act in movies?

It’s not that they want to pour cold water on Su Xinghe, but so far, the actors who can mix well in both the film and television circles can be counted on one’s fingers.

After all, the pace of filming is completely different for both. Many movie stars have fallen from grace after "coming down to earth" to act in TV dramas, and there are also many TV drama stars who have failed in their attempts to enter the film industry.

Therefore, although Su Xinghe is the most popular person among the people sitting here recently, he is the one who is least regarded as a competitor.

Su Xinghe does not care about what others think of him. He sits there silently, out of tune with everyone in this conference room.

Communication is sometimes necessary, but most of the time it is better to be silent because language itself cannot convey the truest meaning. Only behavior can make people impressed. This is also one of Yu Hanyan's views on this world.

Soon, the assistant director came to the conference room and began to distribute numbers to everyone.

Su Xinghe drew fifth place, which is considered to be in the middle.

Liu Yuanzheng was the first one to leave the conference room. Seeing him leave the conference room first, many people present became nervous and solemn.

"Liu Yuanzheng has been in there for half an hour, why hasn't he come out yet?"

Finally, someone couldn't help asking, but no one wanted to answer the question. Why did he stay in there for so long? It must be because the director was very satisfied, so he let him stay in there for so long.

More than ten minutes later, Liu Yuanzheng came back.

Su Xinghe looked at the time and thought he would have to wait another two or three hours.

But soon the second interviewee came out, looking a little frustrated. Su Xinghe understood that this was the difference between ten minutes and forty minutes.

Not being able to last long enough, from another perspective, means that the director is dissatisfied.

An hour later, Su Xinghe stood up.

The remaining people in the conference room couldn't help but look at him.

Everyone was wearing a suit, but Su Xinghe was definitely the best-looking one among them. Even if they didn't want to admit it, body shape was something that couldn't be changed by willpower.

In the interview room, Director Lin Shen was talking to the producer next to him.

"Is the following actor a natural?"

The producer nodded and said, "Yes, Qin Xuan asked me to recommend him."

The name Qin Xuan was not unfamiliar to them. First of all, he had a very famous father, and secondly, he had a very good investment vision. For example, "The Universe" was a very positive case.

They heard that some investors who withdrew their capital before were regretting it.

Lin Shen flipped through Su Xinghe's introduction and said, "He’s still too young."

The producer understood Lin Shen's subtitles, and he was not surprised. In fact, the second male lead of this movie was basically decided before the audition, that is, Liu Yuanzheng.

This is also the tacit understanding between him, the director, and the investor.

It can be said that if Qin Xuan hadn't come out to interfere, this interview could have been directly omitted.

But they still have to give Qin Xuan a face.

Even if they have to refuse, they can't refuse bluntly, so the interview is a good opportunity.

Look, the person you recommend is indeed not as good as others, and we can't do anything about it.

However, this idea has inexplicably developed a certain deviation after Su Xinghe came in.

Although Su Xinghe has not acted yet, he is standing there, and his temperament is very similar to Yu Hanyan.

Of course, there are still differences. After all, the actors who auditioned like Su Xinghe did not get the complete script, so it is normal to have some mistakes in understanding the characters.

But in terms of the overall image of the person, the gloomy temperament of Su Xinghe is not found in the previous actors.

Acting skills can be tempered, but a person's temperament is really an extremely mysterious thing.

Lin Shen couldn't help but sit up straight at this moment. He remembered that the photo on Su Xinghe's resume was clearly of a young man with a very sunny and clean temperament. Why does he look so different now?

He thought of the phone call that Lu Sheng, the director of "The Great Wu Dynasty", had made to him.

"Su Xinghe is a very good actor. You will understand when you see him."

Lu Sheng did not lie. Su Xinghe is indeed a very good actor. Even though he has not acted yet, anyone can see that he has put in a lot of effort.

Lin Shen felt a little bit sorry when he saw this because they had basically decided on the second male lead.

Although it was only basically decided, it was no different from the final decision.

It was almost impossible for the three parties to change their minds.

However, Lin Shen interviewed Su Xinghe very seriously, "This time you are interviewing for the second male lead, Yu Hanyan, in "Silence". There is a section in the script given to you before where he talks to himself before committing a crime. Please perform this section."

Yu Hanyan does not like to communicate with people, but he has a problem. He likes to talk to himself in front of the mirror.

But this kind of talking to himself is different from the mumbling of a madman because Yu Hanyan is communicating with the person in the mirror very seriously.

When Su Xinghe saw this scene for the first time, he even felt a little creepy.

Think about it, you talk to yourself in the mirror seriously, as if the person inside will really respond to you...

This is also because the scriptwriters don't know that there are ghosts in this world. If they knew, they would never dare to go to the toilet at night again after writing such a plot.

Otherwise, if you turn around and see yourself in the mirror saying good night to yourself, wouldn't you be scared to the point of incontinence?

However, at this moment, Su Xinghe had long forgotten his complaints more than a week ago. After hearing the director's words, he quickly entered the state.

After all, he has performed all the clips in the script many times—the director has given the real test papers, and those who don't practice must be fools.

With the director's "start", Su Xinghe's eyes moved.

All the lights were on in the interview room. This was a small meeting room in the hotel, decorated luxuriously. Whether it was the cashmere carpet, the leather sofa, or the crystal lamps overhead, they all gave people a very solemn and formal feeling.

At least everyone thought so before Su Xinghe started acting.

But when Su Xinghe sat there and started talking to himself, even the screenwriter, who had never paid much attention to the selection of actors, couldn't help rubbing his arms.

He felt a little cold for some reason.

It's not the coldness in temperature, but the kind of coldness that makes goosebumps appear on the skin one after another.

The screenwriter drank a mouthful of water, not really wanting to continue watching Su Xinghe's performance, because he felt that Su Xinghe was very dangerous at the moment.

But he couldn't help but want to watch.

The reason was the same because Su Xinghe was very dangerous.

But the danger, to a certain extent, also represents a fatal attraction.

Sometimes humans just like dangerous people and things, and he is no exception.

And he is a screenwriter. It can be said that besides the director, he is the person who knows Yu Hanyan best.

If there really is Yu Hanyan in this world, he himself would absolutely, absolutely, absolutely dare not approach him. Only the male protagonist would dare to punish such a dangerous person.

But if there really is such a person, he would also want to peek or get close.

This is how he feels now. He doesn't want to watch Su Xinghe's performance, but he can't help wanting to watch it.

He began to analyze carefully. Su Xinghe himself is very good-looking. He looks no different from the male models in the show when wearing a suit. Although the gold-wire glasses cover his eyebrows and eyes a little, they do not completely cover his good-looking facial features. Instead, they add a touch of mystery to him.

According to this description, the person in front of him should give people the feeling of being stable, sharp, handsome, and, generally speaking, very likable.

But when Su Xinghe sat there and talked to the mirror in front of him, all the positive things about him disappeared.

People who see him will only feel extremely dangerous.

But his expression was not gloomy, but very serious. His tone was not gloomy but very peaceful. His posture was not gloomy at all but stood straight, like a well-trained soldier.

The screenwriter looked at it for a long time but couldn't find out what made Su Xinghe so dangerous.

He looked at the director next to him and found that the director's body was almost leaning forward to the limit.

If there was no table in front of him, he suspected that the director would run to Su Xinghe.

He looked at the producer again. The producer's reaction was better than the director's, but not much better because it was the first time he saw the producer with such a tangled expression, just like the tangled feeling when you want to buy two things in the supermarket but can only buy one.

Alas, the screenwriter sighed in his heart. He didn't have much say in who to choose. At most, he could recommend a few supporting roles. Important main creators like the second male lead were not within his power at all.

Before, he always felt that this matter hurt his self-esteem very much, but now he suddenly felt that not having the right to choose was also a good choice.

After all, making choices is sometimes difficult.

For example, the director and producer are in a difficult situation now.

Fortunately, the investor did not send anyone here today. If they had, it would have been difficult for all three parties at the same time.

Su Xinghe had stopped talking to himself and sat back in his seat, looking at the interviewers in front of him with a pair of deep eyes through his glasses.

Lin Shen leaned back in his chair again, thinking, should he let Su Xinghe perform another scene? After all, they had let Liu Yuanzheng perform several scenes before.

But as soon as this idea came up, he felt that it was not necessary because Su Xinghe's previous scene had already conquered him, and another scene would only exacerbate his inner entanglement.

He looked at the producer and decided to throw the pot to see if the other party had any useful opinions.

But before he opened his mouth, the producer asked him, "What do you think?"

Lin Shen:...

Of course, he felt very good! Su Xinghe was talking to himself just now, which scared him.

If you don't know, you would think Su Xinghe is a genius-perverted murderer!

If he didn't have confidence in the public security of modern society, he would have the urge to report Su Xinghe!

After all, he had never seen a person with such a gloomy temperament. It was as if he was covered with a layer of fog, and it was the black fog with a high PM2.5 level!

But he certainly couldn't say that, so he simply chose not to answer the producer's question and then pretended to be calm and said to Su Xinghe, "You performed very well, go back and wait for news."

Su Xinghe nodded and left.

After he left, the interviewers all breathed a sigh of relief.

You look at me, I look at you, and then look at the camera in front.

Oh, this is a problem.

Let's go back and watch Liu Yuanzheng and Su Xinghe's performance.

Zhang Qing kept watching the time outside, and the minute hand had only moved a little more than one grid, and Su Xinghe came out.

It was so short!

It's less than ten minutes!

Did the audition fail?

She was a little worried but still asked Su Xinghe, "How is it?"

Su Xinghe said, "I don't know, I tried my best."

He has developed PTSD from wearing glasses recently. If this doesn't work, he will really be in trouble.

The glasses of the grandmaster are not omnipotent. He can only wear them a few times a day and then try his best to find Yu Hanyan's condition through the side effects caused by wearing glasses.

So he doesn't know whether he is looking for the right one, and he doesn't know whether his efforts are effective.

But he is very self-aware of himself—he is just a useless person who lives off his elders. What else can he do if he doesn't work hard?

"It doesn't matter." Su Xinghe comforted Zhang Qing in turn, "No matter what the result is, I have tried my best."

Zhang Qing also smiled when she heard it, "Well, it's okay as long as I try hard."

This audition is not completely fruitless, at least I have gained a set of very good photos.

After posting these photos on Weibo tomorrow...

She guesses the fans will celebrate the New Year again.

She patted Su Xinghe on the shoulder and said, "It's good to keep this mentality."

If you are too obsessed with the results, you may have psychological problems in the entertainment industry.

Because there are so many things that are cut off in the entertainment industry.

For example, at this moment, Liu Yuanzheng is asking his agent in shock, "What did you just say? Director Lin said he still needs to consider it?"

Didn't it say that he was the one before? Why do you still need to consider it now?

Is it because he got up in the wrong posture in the morning, or what he ate for lunch?

Can this ever-changing and dishonest entertainment industry ever be better?!

The author has something to say: 

Su Xinghe: Sorry, I think the way I auditioned is wrong.
