Shock! I fell for the paranoid Mr. Huo after he misread my thoughts

When Jiang Muwan and Sister Yuan arrived at the audition set for the production of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the interior scenes for the audition had already been completely set up, and the lighting technician was there adjusting his equipment.

I just don’t know if it’s because the crew has stricter requirements for the young Yan Qing, the number of people who come to audition is very small compared to other crews.

Before long, director Hao Gui, with his iconic beard, appeared in everyone's sight.

Then the assistant director also sat down next to the bearded man and said, "Old Hao, I think the people are almost here. Can we start now?"

The bearded man nodded, "Okay, let's get started!"

After getting the big bearded man's approval, the assistant director took out a small box and placed it on the table. "Then according to the old rules, let them draw lots to decide the audition order."

"No need. Didn't you see that there were only three people auditioning?"

Assistant Director??? "Why are there only three people? Weren't there more than a dozen people invited to audition?"

"I will pass those who are late."

Assistant Director: “…”Okay, you’re the director and you have the final say.

"Then how are you going to let the remaining three audition without drawing lots?"

"Go and ask them to change to a round table and move four chairs. Don't forget to bring me my melon seeds as well."

Assistant Director: "......" Well, this is another creative way to audition! Director Hao is talented and willful!

After everything was arranged according to Big Beard's request, the assistant director came over and called Jiang Muwan and the other two actresses who came for the interview.

"Let's go, Director Hao asked me to ask you guys to come over and chat."

What are we doing together? Chatting?

Everyone present was as confused as the assistant director a few minutes ago. This was the first time they saw people chatting before an audition.

But everyone just looked at each other and no one said anything more.

Following the assistant director inside, Jiang Muwan looked at the round table in the yard and the oranges and melon seeds on it, and suddenly everything became clear to him.

Who always carries orange peels with them?

Who likes to eat melon seeds when they have nothing to do?

The very first bandit leader Yan Qing!

What was Yan Qing's most impressive title when he was young? Mountain King!

She is so young and yet she can hold this position firmly and make others convinced of her. Besides being a good swordsman, she is also good at chatting!

You can talk as much as you want, speak differently to different people!

Although these contents are not explicitly given in the script, they are hidden in the lines of other characters and the prop arrangements of each small scene.

So, after successfully understanding the profound meaning of the bearded director, Jiang Muwan quickly entered into the state of the role of Yan Qing, which he had practiced countless times before, and successfully chatted with the bearded director for three hours while eating melon seeds.

As for the other two actresses, one thought that the bearded man might not be in a good mental state, so she politely left to rush to the next audition.

The other one also chatted with the two of them for more than two hours, but somehow he was brought up by Jiang Muwan later and decided on the spot to play a loyal supporter of the Mountain King Yan Qing!

"Xiao Jiang, you really are worthy of my first choice. When I watched Xiong Buer's show, I knew that as long as you restrain yourself, you will definitely be able to play the role of the female bandit well! I happily decided to give this role to you!"

"Old Hao, I saw people online saying that you have a unique vision. I was skeptical, but now I believe it. Your vision is really extraordinary! Don't worry, I will definitely hold back when the show officially starts!"

The assistant director at the side said: "......" Director Hao Gui is really an expensive director. During the conversation, he naturally tried out a heroine who fits the image of the script so well!

This is the first time I’ve seen an actor get a role like this, Sister Yuan: “…” What other surprises does Jiang Muwan have that she doesn’t know about?

Only after they had finished eating all the melon seeds did Jiang Muwan and Director Hao stop their business-like chat.

"Okay, Xiao Jiang, let's meet at the script reading. Originally, screenwriter Xu was going to chat with us today... No, audition with us, but she had something urgent to deal with. But she asked me to give you her WeChat ID!"

"No problem, Director Hao."

......

Having successfully secured the role he liked, Jiang Muwan had a smile on his face all the way out of the set.

Jumping out of the gate, Jiang Muwan saw Huo Chenchao's familiar car at a glance. Just as they had agreed in the morning, he drove over in person and waited here to pick her up.

After waving goodbye to Sister Yuan, Jiang Muwan skillfully opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

"Are you so happy? Did you pass the audition?" Seeing the girl's face full of smiles, Huo Chenchao was in no hurry to start the car. He put one hand on the steering wheel and looked at her sideways.

"Is my performance so obvious?" Jiang Muwan asked back, not forgetting to shine the light on the polished car window beside him.

Looking at her own bright white teeth in the mirror, Jiang Muwan knew the answer without Huo Chenchao telling her.

Well! She admitted, it was obvious!

"Hehe, Huo Chenchao, you didn't see how smart and capable I was today. The director's unexpected and creative audition method didn't stump me!"

"Well, I didn't see it, but I can imagine it."

"No, you certainly can't imagine it. Let me tell you..." Jiang Muwan excitedly told Huo Chenchao the audition process again. His look and tone were no different from those kids who got 100 points on the test and went home to ask their parents for rewards.

Huo Chenchao also listened very patiently, and from time to time he would follow Jiang Muwan's self-praising steps and praise her.

"By the way, Huo Chenchao, I became good friends with a little girl named Tangtang today. I helped her find her mother, and she gave me four strawberry-flavored lollipops. Sister Yuan also said that little Tangtang is cute and looks a lot like me!"

A little girl as cute as her? Huo Chenchao couldn't help but imagine what Jiang Muwan looked like when she was a child, and imagined a Jiang Muwan who was several sizes smaller.

As he thought about it, he slowly raised the corners of his lips, his eyes and heart softened...
