This humble Taoist priest is going to be a movie star!

Li Qing left the hotel early in the morning.

I arrived at the audition location, Tianhao International Hotel.

At this moment, Li Qing's saliva was already dripping down his throat.

The buffet at the five-star hotel smells pretty good.

After entering, the staff led Li Qing to the conference room to wait.

I saw the people who came to audition.

Some were dressed as swordsmen, some carried large cleavers, each with their own unique skills and extraordinary abilities, their endurance and perseverance were truly astonishing.

In contrast, what is this clueless young man, Li Qing, doing here?

He sat casually in his Taoist robes, holding a large thermos with a few goji berries floating in it, looking like an old Taoist priest. Everyone else was already getting ready to get into character.

"Hi! I'm here!"

Li Qing spotted Brother Xiaoming immediately.

Huang Xiaoming was dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, the kind that looked like he had worn many times before.

Looks like it's one of his hidden collections of tight-fitting clothes.

"Brother Xiaoming."

"Hey, you didn't even put on makeup." Huang Xiaoming looked at Li Qing with a strange expression. "Bad attitude gets points deducted too, you know."

Jiang Chenggang also wanted to do Li Qing's makeup, but Li Qing refused... It wasn't that Li Qing was being pretentious or anything.

After all, Jiang Chenggang's makeup skills are indeed not very reliable.

"Never mind, you don't need to wear makeup."

Huang Xiaoming thought Li Qing's skin was exceptionally good...

Aren't martial arts practitioners usually rough and rough like that? How come this guy has such good skin?

"Look, this is the gold-backed broadsword I have in my collection. I've wanted to play a real, cold-faced swordsman for a long time."

Huang Xiaoming revealed his props.

This is an amazing knife.

Wow.

Li Qing also touched the knife; it was quite expensive, not one of those prop knives, but the kind used for collection.

Killing people is out of the question, but selling 80% of them is possible.

"Hey, who wouldn't want to be a cool and aloof ancient swordsman, both handsome and dashing?" Huang Xiaoming proudly sheathed his golden-backed broadsword, full of confidence.

At that moment, one person stood out in the crowd.

Ye Huajian.

Among the other unremarkable runners, he stood out as... domineering.

Huang Xiaoming also stopped joking; Ye Huajian was the real competitor this time.

The others, including Li Qing, were just there to make up the numbers.

Of course, most people know they're just there to make up the numbers, but if they can showcase themselves and be remembered, they might get a role in the next show even if they weren't in this one, or another if they weren't in this one.

Ye Huajian also stared at Xiao Ming with a seemingly casual look.

A leading actor from Taiwan and a leading actor from mainland China, sparks fly between them. If eyes were swords, they would have clashed many times already.

Only Li Qing, who was caught in the middle, opened the cup lid.

Don't panic, have a sip of goji berry water.

With so many competitors, I'll have some goji berries first.

Afterwards, Li Qing began to read his own biography and summarize some of his personality traits.

Even last-minute sharpening can make a weapon shine, though it may not be perfect.

Immersion is about understanding the character and putting the character's soul into your own body.

The more you cram in, the better the performance.

What I need to do now is to try to immerse myself in the world of "Guihai Yidao".

Li Qing touched his chin.

Others might be prepared to be runners-up, but Li Qing wasn't.

After all, there are still people who believe we can land this role.

.....

"Let's begin."

Inside the audition room, the person in charge of the preparations nodded and checked the time; it was already 9:30. The judging panel and, most importantly, the director, had also arrived.

The audition began.

The first one is Ye Huajian, this seeded player.

This is the advantage of being a top contender; the earlier you audition, the greater your advantage. After all, once the judges have found their ideal role, they will become increasingly impatient with the roles that audition later.

"Extract the clips here." The staff member handed the cardboard box to Ye Huajian.

Whichever segment you draw, you perform that segment.

"Okay." Ye Huajian didn't waste any time and directly took out an envelope.

"Scene number five, the part where Guihai Yidao saves Haitang in the palace and gets injured."

"start."

Two minutes of preparation time begins.

That was inside the cabin, during a conversation between Haitang and Guihai Yidao.

Ye Huajian said calmly.

"Haitang is becoming more and more like Tianya, not following the rules."

"And how did you end up in the palace?" The assistant, who was supposed to be the straight man, recited Haitang's lines emotionlessly.

Ye Huajian remained unaffected, though his tone wavered slightly. He paused, then turned his head and said...

"I originally intended to go to Anle Town to help you, but the Divine Marquis instructed that the Dragon Guard Manor could not be left unattended, and told me to stay. Then I received news that you had infiltrated the inner palace."

"And then you came to save me? Without asking your godfather?"

Ye Huajian tilted his head and paused, momentarily stunned.

"This isn't like you. You used to never do anything on your own initiative... It's out of loyalty to our sect, isn't it? You really are a good brother."

Ye Huajian didn't say much, he just left silently.

He regained his cold and aloof expression.

He was still that cold-blooded swordsman, Guihai Yidao.

Only occasionally did he show tenderness, and only to her.

...

"Can."

Deng Cheng from the directing team nodded.

This Taiwanese actor truly lives up to his reputation as a king of Taiwanese idol dramas; he perfectly captures the essence of unrequited love.

After asking a few more questions, Ye Huajian left.

When he left, Ye Huajian faced the situation calmly.

Next up was Brother Xiaoming, who walked into the audition room carrying a golden-backed broadsword.

The scene he drew was the one where Guihai Yidao became possessed by a demon after practicing the demonic sword.

"No, nothing at all! Why didn't you leave behind the sword manual? Why didn't you leave behind the sword manual?! Where is the sword manual?"

Then, a sword manual appeared on the garment.

"The sword manual! I've found the sword manual!"

After mastering the sword manual, Guihai Yidao began practicing swordsmanship.

Xiao Ming was able to wield the golden-backed broadsword he brought, and the martial arts experience he had accumulated in The Return of the Condor Heroes gave him a significant advantage.

He started wielding a knife.

Deng Cheng nodded, his delivery of lines and his physical acting skills were quite good.

He truly deserves to be considered one of the top young actors in mainland China.

"Hahaha! I've mastered it! I've mastered it!"

After Guihai mastered the Demon Blade, he had already become a demon.

Laugh, laugh wildly! Laughing wildly while brandishing a knife!

It is indeed quite excellent.

In every aspect, Xiaoming passed.

It's that last laugh.

This gave Deng Cheng a misconception.

This is not a wandering knight-errant who has fallen into demonic possession.

It was a mad bandit...
