Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

Chapter 370 No Male Protagonist

At noon, in the square under the scorching sun.

Yesterday's bustling crowd was wiped out one by one today, until now there were only nine people left on the field, carefully selected by the crew under Xiao Mei, both in terms of image and acting skills. They are all considered to be excellent, and there are various types.

However, even so, Xiao Mei's assistant was still a little uneasy.

In fact, the remaining people are fine if they are singled out, but if they stand together with Han Feng, they still feel that they are too different.

But these are the best ones. If Xiao Mei really can't accept the assistant, there's nothing she can do. It's impossible for her to create someone out of thin air, right?
At this time, Xiao Yu, who was standing by the square, also breathed a deep sigh of relief. Although the square was noisy yesterday afternoon and this morning, there was no trouble at all.

Xiao Yu immediately turned his head and looked at the members of the law enforcement team next to him.

"Go, keep an eye on those inner courtyard students who failed to be selected, and tell them to go back to the inner courtyard if they have nothing to do, and don't stay here."

"Yes!"

After the team member left, another excited voice came to Xiao Yu's ears.

"Captain, can I go up and fight with them?"

Wu Hao, also known as Blood Sword Wu Hao, is a five-star fighting master, deputy captain of the law enforcement team, Xiao Yu's subordinate, and a pure fighting maniac.

Without Xiao Yu, Wu Hao should have been the captain of the outer court law enforcement team.

As for Xiao Yu, the captain who was putting pressure on him, Wu Hao was not dissatisfied at all, and the reason was very simple.

Because she is stronger than him, and much stronger. Since he is weaker than Xiao Yu, it is natural for him to succumb to her without any dissatisfaction.

"Okay, it's finally calmed down here. Don't cause any more trouble for me."

Xiao Yu glared at Wu Hao with her beautiful eyes. At this moment, a boy with a handsome face came over and greeted Xiao Yu politely.

"Xiao Yu, long time no see."

"Ah, long time no see."

Xiao Yu responded calmly, looking at the boy in front of her.

Lin Xiuya, at the peak of Dou Ling, ranked second in the inner courtyard's strongest ranking, and was the strongest among the students except for the female tyrannosaurus that topped the ranking.

Xiao Yu had some disputes with his men in the inner courtyard because of some things, and had a fight with him, the boss, although there was no winner in the end.

Later, Lin Xiuya wanted to have another fight with Xiao Yu, but he never thought that Xiao Yu would withdraw from the inner courtyard this year, which was a pity for Lin Xiuya.

Looking back now, it was really scary.

It was clear that Xiao Yu, who entered the inner courtyard, only had the strength of a three-star fighting master, but he was able to fight against himself, a seven-star fighting master at that time. Although Lin Xiuya knew that Xiao Yu would definitely lose if he continued to fight, he still Lin Xiuya was left with lingering fears.

No matter how high Xiao Yu's level was at that time, there was really no guarantee of winning or losing. Even though his level was still much higher than Xiao Yu's now, Lin Xiuya still felt unsure.

"Wu Hao, stay there and don't move." Feeling that Wu Hao next to him was staring at Lin Xiuya and about to make a move, Xiao Yu shouted in a low voice, "Lin Xiuya is at the pinnacle of fighting spirit. How can you, a great fighting master, fight with others?"

Xiao Yu's words were like pouring cold water on Wu Hao, causing him to wilt instantly.

It's true that he is a fighting maniac, but he is not brainless. The difference between the five-star great fighting master and the peak fighting spirit is not even a star, and there is no way he can win.

When Lin Xiuya heard Xiao Yu's words, the corners of his mouth couldn't stop twitching.

It's okay for other people to say this, but it's a bit embarrassing for someone who can fight with others over a long period of time.
"It's not your turn to say this, Xiao Yu."

A faint and pleasant voice came over, saying what Lin Xiuya was thinking, and soon a girl slowly came to Xiao Yu.

I saw the girl wearing a cool dress. Although her cheeks were thin, she had a rare beautiful face. Her skin was as white as snow, her eyebrows were as beautiful as picturesque, and her waist-length silver hair made her whole person exude an awe-inspiring look. The cool temperament.

Han Yue, a six-star Dou Ling, was ninth on the Inner Court's powerful list and the only woman on the list. She was also the only friend Xiao Yu made in her short time in the Inner Court.

When Xiao Yu saw Han Yue, she smiled slightly.

"Why are you here?"

"My practice has been a bit stagnant recently. I wanted to go out and relax. I happened to see the recruitment video yesterday, so I came over to see you and try to see if you can be selected." Han Yue smiled slightly and said softly: "Your sister took the photo. I love watching dramas, and it would be great if I am lucky enough to be chosen to play a role.”

"What she's looking for this time is the male protagonist."

Xiao Yu reminded him softly, while Han Yue raised her lips indifferently.

"Didn't you also play the male lead back then?"

"Forehead"

Xiao Yu was speechless and choked, then smiled and looked at the other three people coming from the inner courtyard.

Bai Cheng, Liu Qing, and Lin Yan.

"Forget it about Bai Cheng, what are Liu Qing and Lin Yan doing here? They also like to watch my sister's movies?"

Liu Qing and Lin Yan are both in the top ten on the list. Both are serious men, especially Lin Yan, who almost always stays in the training tower. It is impossible for such people to like watching Xiao Mei's photos. Those dramas between men and women, right?

Lin Xiuya also gave an explanation for this.

"Liu Qing was pestered by his cousin to come with him. However, his cousin failed and he was chosen. He originally wanted to leave directly, but was threatened by his cousin and refused to leave, so he stayed." Lin Xiuya After a pause, he continued: "As for Lin Yan, he didn't come here for the male lead, he just came to meet that teacher Han Feng."

"Why are you meeting Teacher Han Feng? Is that guy interested in women?"

Xiao Yu looked strange, while Lin Xiuya waved his hand seriously.

"Absolutely not. He will never be interested in women in his life. It's just because he has too much fire poison in his body, and he happened to hear from others that Teacher Han Feng is a sixth-grade alchemist, so he wanted to come over and try to ask if there was anyone. There was no way to remove the fire poison, and he was too embarrassed to ask the other party to help him in vain, so he thought of using himself to play the leading role in exchange."

"."

After Xiao Yu heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched.

Good guy, everyone else is vying for this leading actor, but you regard this thing as a bargaining chip, and only Lin Yan can do this.

As for the remaining four qualifiers, one is Baishan and the other is Hujia, both of whom are well-known followers of Xun'er in the outer courtyard.

Then there are two others: Xiao Ning and Rob.

Xiao Yu suddenly covered her face with a blank expression.

She didn't need to think twice to guess why these two guys came to participate in the preliminaries.

Of course it is for money. Xiao Mei will not let others work in vain when filming. After each filming, the participants will be given generous rewards. The more important the role, the more money.

It was obvious that Xiao Ning and Rob had no money to go to the Black Corner Territory, so they just wanted to come here to earn some extra money.

Xiao Yu really couldn't understand that these two people had only known each other for more than half a year, and they had a conflict during the admissions process. How could their relationship be so strong now?

Forget it, let them go, I really don't want to deal with these two things today.

Xiao Yu turned to look at Wu Hao and ordered.

"Wu Hao, just keep an eye on it. If you encounter something that you can handle, just handle it yourself. If you really can't handle it, come to me." After speaking, Xiao Yu looked at Lin Xiuya and Han Yue, "Then you go ahead, I have to go back. It’s time to rest, there have been too many things going on during this period, and I haven’t even had a good rest.”

Xiao Yu waved her hands to the two of them and walked towards the dormitory building while yawning.

Looking at Xiao Yu's retreating figure, Han Yue frowned slightly and glanced at Lin Xiuya with her beautiful eyes.

"What do you think?" "Xuan." Lin Xiuya shook his head slightly, with a complex look in his eyes, "Even if I am a whole section taller than her, I am not sure I can beat her."

"Is it."

Han Yue was not surprised by this answer.

Although Xiao Yu only stayed in the inner courtyard for less than two or three months last year, she left an extremely deep impression on them because of her strength that far exceeded her level.

I really don’t know how she practices.

If Xiao Yu had not withdrawn from the inner court last year, Han Yue had no doubt that Xiao Yu could occupy Lin Xiuya's position on the strong list, and even the top-ranked female tyrannosaurus might not be her opponent.

On the other side, when Xiao Yu returned to the dormitory, she happened to bump into Xiao Mei who was walking out. Seeing the exhausted look on her face, as if she was about to die soon, Xiao Yu was startled and almost didn't recognize her at first sight. .

"Mei'er? Are you okay?"

"Ah, Sister Xiao Yu." Xiao Mei waved her hand feebly and smiled weakly, "It's okay, I just didn't sleep all night. I have been thinking about the script."

Although the script has been decided, how to shoot it is also a problem. Xiao Mei has been planning for this all night without sleeping, and her energy is almost drained. Mental work is much heavier than physical work, not to mention that she has been working since yesterday afternoon until now. Didn't even eat.

And until now, Xiao Mei still has not been able to figure out where the script came from. The only thing that is certain is that the script was definitely not written by herself.

But for Xiao Mei, as long as there is a script worthy of Han Feng, there is no need to go into detail about who wrote it.

"No! We have filming tomorrow, so we have to cheer up!"

Xiao Mei suddenly raised her hand and patted her cheek hard, causing a slight blush to appear on her face, forcing herself to cheer up.

"Sister Xiao Yu, I'm leaving first!"

Xiao Mei waved to Xiao Yu and ran towards the college square. Looking at Xiao Mei's leaving back, Xiao Yu smiled helplessly and turned back to the dormitory.

After a while, Xiao Mei came to the square, and the assistant hurriedly greeted her after seeing Xiao Mei.

"Director Xiao Mei, nine candidates for the male lead have been selected, and it is up to you to decide which one will be the final one."

"Ah, thank you for your hard work."

Xiao Mei smiled slightly. Outside of filming time, she was quite kind to other people.

Immediately, Xiao Mei raised her eyebrows slightly, and at a glance she saw Xiao Ning and Luo Bu among the male lead pre-selectors, and pointed at them displeased.

"Why were those two guys chosen too?"

"Well" the assistant's expression was stagnant, and he scratched his hair in embarrassment, "The image barely meets the standard, and their acting skills are indeed quite outstanding, so..."

The assistant also knew that Xiao Mei had always been very unkind to Xiao Ning, a clan brother, and Luo Bu, but she only acted according to Xiao Mei's request. After all, Xiao Mei did not specifically ask Xiao Ning and Luo Bu to participate.

In response, Xiao Mei sighed helplessly.

"Ha, forget it, there is no male protagonist anyway, let's arrange a role for them. Anyway, they must have come because they have no money."

"what?"

Hearing Xiao Mei's words, the assistant was suddenly startled.

no?Didn't you find so many people just to choose the leading actor?Why is there no male protagonist again?

Before the assistant could ask, Xiao Mei walked over to the male lead pre-selectors and coughed twice to attract the attention of the nine people.

"Everyone, I am the initiator of this male lead pre-selection and the director of this drama, Xiao Mei."

Director Xiao Mei was quite famous both inside and outside the academy, so there was no need for Xiao Mei to introduce herself. Lin Xiuya and others also recognized her.

"First of all, thank you very much for coming to participate in my male lead pre-selection." Xiao Mei paused and then said: "Secondly, I have something very regretful to tell you. There is no male lead in this drama. The male protagonist is here, and I sincerely apologize.”

After Xiao Mei finished speaking, she sincerely bowed her head and apologized.

Lin Xiuya and others were stunned at first, but they didn't say anything. They just came to give it a try, and they didn't have to be the leading actor.

Not to mention Xiao Ning and Rob. Not to mention that they don't care whether there is a male protagonist or not, and other people's opinions may not lead to any consequences, but if they dare to raise opinions in front of Xiao Mei, they will definitely be punished by Xiao Mei. Mei pointed at her nose and retorted, and she might even get beaten.

Among all the people, Bai Shan was the only one with a look of displeasure on his face, and he stepped forward to question.

"Hey, hey, hey~ We all came to participate in the pre-selection after hearing you say you were looking for a leading actor, but it's at the end, and now you're saying that the leading actor is gone?"

"This was my mistake, please forgive me."

Xiao Mei didn't feel unhappy about Bai Shan's aggressive attitude. After all, it was her own fault.

If you do something wrong, you have to admit it, and you have no right to retaliate even if you are scolded.

Xiao Mei immediately raised her head and said softly.

"However, although the male lead is gone, this drama needs many important supporting roles. If you don't mind, I can arrange corresponding roles for you. I will give you the salary according to the standards of the male lead. What do you think?"

Xiao Yan, who arrived at the square with Xun'er not long ago, couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Xiao Mei's series of actions.

Is this still his cousin who is unruly and domineering in the family?

Seeing Xiao Yan's expression, Xun'er couldn't help but chuckle.

"Mei'er got rid of all her bad habits in order to film."

In the past six months, the person who has changed the most among the Xiao family should be Xiao Mei.

Such an act of sincerely bowing one's head and apologizing to others, and also providing appropriate means of compensation was something that Xiao Mei would never have been able to do before.

When the pre-selectors heard Xiao Mei's words, Han Yue and Lin Xiuya spoke softly.

"As long as I can participate in it, I can play any role."

"Same as above."

Liu Qing and Lin Yan didn't have any objections. The former was forced to come here by his cousin, and the latter's purpose was not to film from the beginning, as long as he could contact Han Feng to ask about the fire poison.

Xiao Ning and Rob were fine, and even looked happy on their faces. Originally, they were just trying to make money. They originally thought that only one of them would be elected, but now both of them have been selected, and they are all based on male standards. When the protagonist's salary came, he nodded happily without hesitation.

What's more, the food chain is here. Even if they really have any opinions, they don't dare to express them in front of Xiao Mei.

Although Bai Cheng was a little displeased, he still didn't show it to save his face. At the same time, he pulled his cousin Bai Shan to signal him not to make it too embarrassing.

The director Xiao Mei personally bowed her head and apologized, and was willing to invite them to participate in the film with the male protagonist's salary. It would be really unreasonable to continue to pester them.

"Humph."

Bai Shan snorted lightly and did not continue to find fault, which was regarded as acquiescence.

"Thank you for your understanding."

Seeing that these people were comforted, Xiao Mei turned to look at her assistant.

"Prepare everything that needs to be prepared today, don't miss anything, and the shooting will officially start tomorrow morning."

"Yes!"
