Parking lot at Tai’an Square.
When Si Huang got off the Hummer, he was spotted by Yu Xi who had arrived earlier than them.
A group of people gathered around, and since time was already tight, Yu Xi led Si Huang away without asking anything.
With a “click”, the driver’s door of the Hummer was opened. Du Qiang and others were originally curious about who sent Si Huang here, so they instinctively turned around to take a look.
As soon as they saw the tall man with a stern face, the team that had been talking to each other suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
“This…” Yu Xi looked at Si Huang with questioning eyes.
Si Huang: “Give him a mask.”
Assistant Su Su was prepared with these small items. As soon as she heard this, she took out an unpacked one from her backpack and handed it to Yu Xi.
Seeing the little assistant’s hopeful eyes, Yu Xi knew that she was a little afraid of Qin Fan, so he could only take the bag to the man, “Hello, Mr. Qin.”
Qin Fan nodded to him and took the mask. At the same time, he looked at Si Huang.
“You look too attention-grabbing.” Si Huang said, “If you want to follow me, just act as a bodyguard first.”
Yu Xi’s eyes twitched slightly: You really dare to say that!? But what’s the conflict between these two people? The atmosphere is weird!
Qin Fan didn’t pay attention. He unpacked the mask and put it on his face. “Let’s go.”
Si Huang asked Yu Xi to lead the way. Everyone followed and walked for a while, only to suddenly realize that the man who had a strong and overwhelming aura just now had merged into the crowd. Becoming inconspicuous definitely did not mean that his figure had become bad or his appearance had become ugly. It was just a very strange feeling, as if his presence had disappeared.
A group of people went to the 18th floor of the Tai’an Building to find the audition crew for “Tooth of Time”.
“You’re here, you would be too late in a few minutes!” The staff member who greeted them frowned and smiled bitterly.
Yu Xi responded with proficiency: “We just attended the celebration banquet of The Emperor’s Path, and there was a bit of traffic jam along the way.”
As soon as these words came out, the staff’s face suddenly returned to a smile, thinking of The Emperor’s Path’s success in ratings and Si Huang’s popularity, even if someone was really late today, they still had that proud capital.
“It’s okay, it’s okay. There’s nothing we can do about it. Who made time so tight? Come with me!”
The staff took them backstage. There were more than a dozen well-known men and women in the backstage hall. As soon as they saw Si Huang, they all stood up, with fiery eyes, obviously wanting to come over and say a few words.
It was a pity that a group of people walked in a hurry and walked through the hall without stopping for a while, entering a more advanced area with a dedicated single dressing room.
The boss Si Huang’s expression was also cold and ruthless along the way, his eyes fixed straight ahead without looking at anyone else.
This look was so cool like he had no friends.
“Si Huang! It’s the real Si Huang! So handsome, so handsome, so handsome! Have you seen it? That skin, that appearance, that temperament, it’s so charming!”
“I still liked him better when he played Mr. Qian Ji. He instantly killed my former male idol and became the best dream lover in my heart, but…who knows which role Si Huang is auditioning for this time?”
“I remember that the male lead has already been decided, and there are four key roles in the audition. There are three men and one woman. It is absolutely impossible for one to be a middle-aged uncle. The remaining two, I think it must be the pharmacist Gu Le!”
Several women chatted animatedly, looking at the men, so one man whispered: “Isn’t it just that he looks more handsome? He is a good-tempered, humble and polite ‘little gentleman in the entertainment industry’, but didn’t he turn out to be extremely arrogant? Not only did he come so late, he didn’t even show an expression when he saw someone!”
When he said this, several people immediately echoed, lamenting that the entertainment industry was a place where people flattered those who were superior and ignored those who were inferior. Even Si Huang was an arrogant second generation who was disguised as a good student.
A few girls were immediately unhappy after hearing this and started arguing with them, while the other group of people watched the show neutrally. In the end, it was the staff who came forward to ask them to stop.
At this time, Si Huang was in the single dressing room while Du Qiang applied makeup. She reminded her: “Just do a simple look, don’t waste time.”
Du Qiang responded and carefully painted her eyebrows and eye makeup. Her hand was very steady and the look was very detailed.
The background of the movie “The Teeth of Time” was based in ancient Rome, but it had been slightly changed, adding some wonderful fantastical elements, and was full of beautiful, romantic and exotic customs.
This was different from the costume dramas of country Z. The makeup was completely different. The most important thing was the eye makeup, especially for the role Si Huang had chosen to audition for, he must pay more attention to the look.
The stylist also took the time to take care of her hair and confirmed with Si Huang again, “Do you really not need a wig and want to use disposable hair dye?”
Si Huang: “Yes.”
The stylist put the disposable hair dye on her hair.
Assistant Su Su brought her a glass of water, then walked towards Yu Xi who was standing by the door, and asked in a low voice, “Brother Yu, Mr. Si is a little strange today?”
“What’s weird?” Yu Xi looked calm on the surface as he asked. In fact, he had already noticed that something was wrong with Si Huang. What should he say…?
While he was thinking about it, he heard Su Su’s voice, “Is Mr. Si nervous? I always feel that he is very serious about this audition.”
These words lit up Yu Xi’s mind, and he suddenly realized, “That’s right. It just feels too serious!”
In the past, Si Huang always seemed to be relaxed about acting. He had never had any expression on her face like today. It was not that his expression was cold, but he was simply expressionless, no. It was hard to guess whether he was happy or sad, and his aura was stronger than usual, which made everyone too nervous to say much.
“Ah? Mr. Si is really nervous?” Su Su was startled by Yu Xi’s voice.
Yu Xi came to his senses and answered with snake oil, “No, it’s just that as an actor, it is professional ethics to take every audition seriously.”
Su Su came to be Si Huang’s assistant not long ago, so she didn’t know what Si Huang was like before. No matter what, after hearing what Yu Xi said, her admiration and respect for Si Huang became even stronger. She was determined to do what she should do as an assistant seriously and have the same professional ethics as Mr. Si!
….
“Master Si, your turn will be here soon!”
The staff member who had led them before knocked on the door and came in to urge them.
Du Qiang happened to have finished applying her eye makeup. As soon as she put her hands away and looked up, she took a deep breath.
“I’m going to change my clothes.” After Si Huang said that, she stood up and went to the cubicle to change into the audition costume.
This was because she was designated as the main casting actor, so she had the privilege of wearing the costumes for the play in advance.
About two or three minutes later, Si Huang walked out and said, “Let’s go.”
Everyone looked at him when they heard the voice, and then they didn’t come back to their senses for a long time.
Her short silver hair made her flawless face look as cold as ice and snow, but her eyebrows were so deep that it was impossible to see clearly the expression of her pupils under the shadows. The tall figure was shrouded in an exotic priest’s uniform with white and dark gold as the main colors. While the scarlet shawl hung down to the length of his elbow joint.
At first glance, this person was more graceful and noble than a portrait in an old oil painting. He was wearing a gorgeous and solemn priest’s uniform, had a young and perfect face, and when he looked at you with his deep eyes without any expression, it made people feel the urge to worship him.
“…This…this is definitely over.” The staff member who urged them before murmured absently.
The tallest man wearing a mask was probably the calmest among the crowd.
Si Huang walked towards the door and happened to pass by him. She paused and turned her head to meet his deep gaze. “Look at me.”
“I will let you know that the path I insist on is not contemptible. It can even be compared to You and it might even be more admired by others!”
