Everyone took this audition very seriously, and when they saw Yi Jie's demeanor, they nodded with satisfaction, thinking that her appearance and aura were in line with the character.

"Please start by introducing yourself." Mingyu, the only female examiner, spoke with a smile.

Yi Jie raised the corners of her mouth confidently, her eyes shining brightly.

"Hello, teachers. I am No. 21 Yi Jie from Chengfeng Media. The TV series I have participated in have not been released yet. The only web drama I have participated in, "Counterattack Years", is still being filmed and will not be able to meet you until next year."

Chen Sirui looked through Yi Jie's information and found that, just as she said, she had no acting experience, which immediately put a lot of his anger at ease.

"You? Are you Yi Jie, the top scorer in the college entrance examination in "Rural Life Diary"? " Mingyu asked uncertainly. She didn't watch this variety show, but her niece was very enthusiastic about it. She took a few glances at it at that time, but half a year had passed and her memory was already fuzzy.

"It's written above that he's a guest of 'Rural Life Diary.'" Fang Lun pointed out on the information.

"Yes, I participated in the recording of the program." Yi Jie replied.

“Oh, I know this show. It’s quite popular, but variety shows are different from acting. No matter how well you perform in a variety show, we can’t confuse the two.” Wei Jia made a pertinent comment.

"Teacher, I know, so I hope my performance today will be recognized by everyone."

Yi Jie's neither humble nor arrogant attitude made everyone like her more.

"Pick the role you want to play."

"I choose the female lead Zhan Xing." Yi Jie blurted out.

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this. Chen Sirui raised his hand and handed over the script.

"The plot summary is on page one. You will be acting on page 20, scene 127. You have ten minutes to prepare."

"Okay." Yi Jie took the script with both hands and began to study.

"The Starry Sky" is a story that takes place in a fictional dynasty.

During the Wan'an period, Magistrate Lu of Shunfeng County, Fuyuan Prefecture, favored his concubine and killed his wife. His wife, Ms. Pei, died in childbirth due to the conspiracy of the concubine, leaving behind a daughter named Lu Zhanxing.

Because she was a girl, Lu Zhanxing survived, but the concubine who was promoted to the main wife did not treat her well and was harsh to her since she was a child. Fortunately, her mother Pei's wet nurse was loyal and took her to survive in the back house with great difficulty. At least she was able to establish her own life.

Lu Zhanxing has been quiet since he was old enough to understand, and spends most of his time in his room reading the books his mother left behind.

She was born intelligent and would sneak into the school corner to eavesdrop on the teacher's lectures.

She learned everything by herself. Pei came from a scholarly family, and the books in her dowry were of various kinds. Therefore, Lu Zhanxing's knowledge was different from that of ordinary girls since she was a child. Because she had no elders to teach her, her thoughts were somewhat unorthodox.

She didn't want to be bound by the struggles in the harem, as long as her own life was guaranteed. She had already figured out Magistrate Lu's study, which not only contained more books but also official newspapers. She knew more and her horizons were broadened. Lu Zhanxing never understood why women couldn't do what men could do.

But her unwillingness to fight did not bring her the stability she deserved. When she was fourteen, her stepmother wanted to give her to County Magistrate Lu, a fifty-year-old man, as his second wife for the sake of her son's future, and County Magistrate Lu himself was extremely happy.

Lu Zhanxing had no more attachment and pretended to agree. He gained more rights and settled the wet nurse.

Lu Zhanxing sneaked into Magistrate Lu's study and forged a household registration certificate and customs clearance documents. She also set fire to her own room and fabricated the illusion that she was trapped in a sea of ​​fire. She resolutely fled the mansion.

The woman disguised herself as a man and left Shunfeng County under the alias Zhanxing, heading south. Except for the area around Kyoto, the country was surrounded by enemies and wars continued. It was exactly as Lu Zhanxing had guessed after reading the court report, the Wanli Dynasty was in danger.

During his wandering, Lu Zhanxing met the talented Wei Tianhe. They experienced many twists and turns together. Lu Zhanxing was deeply moved by the devastated mountains and rivers. The two hit it off and resolutely joined the army to fight for a way of survival for the people.

As a woman, she does not think she is inferior to men. Instead of having ambitions but being unable to realize them, it is better to fight for women and the world.

After escaping death many times, Wei Tianhe learned her identity as a woman and saved her from danger.

The two gradually fell in love. After expressing their feelings to each other, Zhan Xing learned that Wei Tianhe was the posthumous son of the late queen. He was protected by his mother's family with his life under Gong Wei's scheme and he luckily escaped from death in the imperial city.

Zhan Xing was aware of his ambitions, and the two of them made steady progress in the army, secretly developing their power.

After twelve years of military career, Lu Zhanxing became a jade-faced general feared by neighboring countries. He was a man who could bring peace to the world with his pen and decide the outcome of a war on horseback.

Wei Tianhe faked his death and returned to the capital. After planning everything, he joined forces with Lu Zhanxing to overthrow the Wanli Emperor's incompetent rule.

After Lu Zhanxing regained her female identity, she became the first empress in history to participate in politics with the emperor. She attended the coronation ceremony with Wei Tianhe. The stars on that day were extremely brilliant and were approved by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory as a great omen. After many years in office, the two of them were inseparable and jointly created an unprecedented prosperous Jiading era.

Lu Zhanxing also laid a vital foundation for improving the status of women in the dynasty. He was praised by later generations and was hailed as an outstanding politician and military strategist in history.

"The Starry Sky" can actually be called a real heroine-led drama, but there are quite a lot of characters portrayed in the drama, and it was written for the purpose of group portrait, so not all the plot focuses on the heroine.

The scene that Chen Sirui asked Yi Jie to act out was the one where Zhan Xing was heartbroken after witnessing a woman being tortured by the enemy during the war and finally choosing to end her life. This completely aroused the bud in Zhan Xing's heart to join the army.

"I'm ready." Yi Jie raised her head and gave everyone a decent smile.

"Okay, please start your performance."

Yi Jie rubbed her eyes hard, closed them for a moment, and when she opened them again, her bloodshot eyeballs were covered with tears, and she looked at the tragic scene in the distance with bloodshot eyes.

"Why are women always the targets of bullying?" she muttered to herself, her hands shaking uncontrollably.

"I'm going to save her!" Yi Jie jumped up and was about to run forward, her anger reaching its peak.

"Don't pull me!" Chen Sirui and others could clearly see the confusion, sadness and anger in Yi Jie's eyes. Yi Jie acted very well in the sense of struggle without any physical object, as if someone really was holding her back and not letting her escape.

"I'm still too weak." Yi Jie laughed at herself and sat on the ground exhausted. Because of her own powerlessness, she, who had always been strong and patient, finally shed two lines of tears...

The excitement in the eyes of Chen Sirui and others could no longer be concealed. Yi Jie's performance far exceeded their expectations. The word "excellent" was not enough to describe it. She simply brought the character in the script to life!

They immediately put aside their sadness about the heroine running away, and all they could think about was that Yi Jie must be signed! Chen Sirui believed that as long as Yi Jie kept up this level of performance, "Star River" would definitely be a hit. Even if we take a step back, the role of Zhan Xing would definitely be a big hit, and he had no doubt about it.

After the audition, the scene was silent for a few seconds, and then the four judges stood up and applauded, especially Wei Jia, whose hands were almost broken. God knows, the producer of this drama had a few mental breakdowns, there is no telling!

"You acted very well and had a very accurate understanding of the role. We would like you to play the role of the female lead Zhan Xing. Are you confident in taking on the challenge?" Chen Sirui looked at Yi Jie with sparkling eyes.

"This... is this true?" Yi Jie's eyes widened in disbelief. Was she chosen so easily?

"real!"

"Ah? Will anyone invest..." Yi Jie spoke weakly, but still expressed the doubts in her heart.

Wei Jia choked for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely let you take the photo!"

At worst, he could just run around with Yi Jie's audition video and beg everyone for help, but he still wouldn't believe it. No one knows what she's talking about!

"Then I do! I do!" Yi Jie looked excited and she wished she could drag Yu Bin in to sign the contract immediately.

"Okay, don't leave later. Wait until all the auditions are over and we can talk alone. Is your agent here?"

"Yes, I am!" Yi Jie nodded hurriedly.

"Okay, you should have a good rest first." Chen Sirui solved a big problem in his mind, and he felt relaxed and smiled.

Yi Jie bowed deeply to them, grateful for the opportunity they gave her, and slowly walked out of the audition room.

After leaving the house, she managed to hold back the urge to scream, ran to Yu Bin, and said to him in a low voice, "It's done!"

Yu Bin was delighted when he heard this.

"Really? That's great! Show your strength!"

Yu Bin slapped Yi Jie hard, obviously very excited, and he couldn't control his strength, almost making Yi Jie stumble.

The two chatted in low voices, and as soon as the audition was over, a staff member immediately took them into an office.

Yu Bin finished the whole conversation with a radiant look on his face. Yi Jie didn't say a word. She just watched him battle wits and courage with the production team and put forward conditions for her.

The negotiations between the two parties were generally harmonious and smooth. Wei Jia repeatedly praised Yi Jie as the most talented young actress he had ever met, and praised Yu Bin for having found a treasure. Yu Bin's smile never faltered.

The contract was finalized on the same day. When Yi Jie signed her name, her hands were shaking. This was the leading actress with S+ resources! My God!

Apart from the requirement that Yi Jie must be the second lead, the performance remuneration and benefits finally offered by "Star River" are quite generous. Of course, this is mainly based on Yi Jie's current status.

With 15 per episode and 65 episodes in total, Yi Jie gets nearly million yuan for one drama! What's wrong with being the second lead? The male lead is a new star after all, and his weight is indeed heavier than hers, so she should be given some face.

With all the necessary publicity resources and such a high salary, Yi Jie's face is about to break with laughter. The crew really has a keen eye for talent! If she doesn't do her best to perform well in this drama, she will be ashamed of her conscience.

After signing the contract, Yu Bin walked with a breeze, feeling quite proud. Yi Jie took over this drama. If the market response is good after it is broadcast, he will be able to play the leading female role in the future, and he can also plan more things...

Yi Jie's mind was full of thoughts that she had finally gotten out of poverty temporarily. Tomorrow, 30% of the scheduled salary would arrive in her account, and she had to treat everyone in the studio to a good meal. Kenny didn't allow it? That didn't matter!
