“Is the makeup artist here?” Yue Ji stood up and shouted. His voice was clear and loud, and he quickly attracted everyone’s attention to Zu Qi.
There were two staff members guarding here. After hearing Yue Ji’s shout, one of them walked over and asked, “Do you have anything to do with the makeup artist?”
Yue Ji didn’t really want to find a makeup artist. He knew it was impossible for the makeup artist to find him a wig at short notice, and with so many people watching, it would be troublesome if everyone got involved with the makeup artist.
Therefore, Yue Ji just wanted Zu Qi to take off his wig and let everyone compete fairly.
“I wonder if the makeup artist has any extra wigs. My pink hair looks too inconsistent with ancient makeup, so I want to ask the makeup artist for help.” Yue Ji said seemingly sincerely.
The people who were still talking in low voices gradually fell silent, and they all looked like they were watching the excitement.
The staff had more experience and knew that Yue Ji was deliberately trying to demolish Zu Qi. If it were anyone else, he would just ignore it and pass by. However, this Yue Ji was well-known as a person who was not easy to offend.
The staff member winked at his colleague. After seeing his colleague go out, he comforted Yue Ji and said, “Look, so many people are not wearing wigs. The quality of acting is not determined by a wig. It will be your turn soon. Come on, please think about the script again.”
Yue Ji ignored the staff’s tactful reminder and pointed directly at Zu Qi, who was sitting in the corner looking at his mobile phone and said loudly: “But he is wearing a wig. There are so many of us auditioning. You can’t do something special for one person alone, right?”
Hearing this, Zu Qi raised his head and looked over with a cold expression.
The staff felt Zu Qi’s gaze and said slightly embarrassed: “This is not a special issue. He was the last person to come in. Maybe the makeup artist found the wig at this time.”
“Even if it suddenly happened, the wig should also be given to the person who needs it most, right? Or each of us should take turns to use it when we go on stage. The makeup artist gave this important wig to him without saying a word. A group of us watch helplessly, and no one would feel happy if he changed it. It’s not comfortable.”
Maybe the staff was too good-tempered, so Yue Ji became more and more unscrupulous in his words.
The friend who came with Yue Ji couldn’t bear to hear it. He stood up and walked over and gently pulled his arm: “A Ji, stop talking…”
“Why can’t I say it? This is obviously bullying. There are so many of us. He is the only one wearing a wig, could it be because he came in through the back door…”
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a bang.
Yue Ji’s angry voice suddenly stopped.
Zu Qi just stood up and was about to go forward to talk to Yue Ji. When he heard the sound, he stopped immediately. He turned his head and followed everyone’s gaze and saw Xiao Tong who had appeared in the room at some unknown time.
The loud noise that came just now was the sound of Xiao Tong closing the door with force. Xiao Tong stood by the door and did not move. The hostility coming from her bones silenced everyone present.
Especially when those eyes glanced at Yue Ji, Yue Ji felt a chill running down his spine and all the hairs on his body stood up.
“It’s just that I didn’t give you a wig. Is it bullying you? You MJ people are too squeamish. Do you need me to find an eight-carriage sedan to take you to the audition later as well?” Xiao Tong was particularly talkative. In front of her, with her gun and stick words, Yue Ji was speechless.
“…”
Yue Ji was silent for a long time with a pale face. He was still unwilling to give in. He gritted his teeth and said, “Sister Tong, I’m not deliberately looking for trouble. I just want to ask on behalf of all of us, why he is the only one in our group who can wear a wig?”
“There are so many reasons! If I have it, I will give it to you. If I don’t have it, I won’t give it to you. If you have so many opinions, why don’t you just buy a wig yourself and be happy?” Xiao Tong said in a loud voice.
Yue Ji didn’t expect that the seemingly friendly and talkative Xiao Tong could have such a fierce personality, and he immediately regretted causing trouble for Zu Qi.
But at this moment, Yue Ji, who was humiliated in front of everyone and had a heavy idol burden, felt as if someone had slapped him hard several times. For a moment, his cheeks were filled with burning pain.
“You are obviously doing this for personal gain!” Yue Ji was ashamed and angry. After being carried away by his anger, he began to speak indiscriminately.
Xiao Tong laughed angrily. She had been working in the industry for seven or eight years and had worked hard step by step to reach her current position. Not to mention Yue Ji, a traffic niche star who caught the heat of a lot of people, even the nationally renowned movie king and actress had to sell her a few points.
Who was this Yue Ji?
“Do you want to judge whether I am a fake Gongji private person? I have been doing this business for a few years, and this is the first time I have met such a strange person like you. If you have the energy to cause trouble, why not spend more time studying your acting skills? Do you want to be a vase for the rest of your life?”
Hearing these words, Yue Ji’s face instantly turned the color of pig liver.
His poor acting skills were something that was obvious to all inside and outside the industry, but except for the netizens who ridiculed him online, no one really poked Yue Ji to the point in front of him.
“You, you…” Yue Ji was so angry that his body was trembling, he pointed at Xiao Tong and was speechless.
Seeing that the situation was developing in an uncontrollable direction, two staff members nearby quickly stood in front of Xiao Tong, trying to break up the fight and prevent them from clashing again.
Zu Qi didn’t expect that Xiao Tong and Yue Ji would start a quarrel. He walked directly to Xiao Tong, pulled off the wig awkwardly, and then handed it to Xiao Tong’s hands.
“Sister Tong, give it to him,” Zu Qi said.
Xiao Tong looked at Zu Qi in surprise, and then her eyes were full of distress: “This world is full of pinkeye, you can’t wrong yourself for some insignificant people.”
Zu Qi smiled with his eyebrows curved, revealing a mouth full of white teeth: “You are right. The quality of acting should not be determined by a certain headgear. If I really suit this role, I can still win the director’s attention even if I wear an ordinary down jacket and jeans.”
“You are still sensible.” Xiao Tong smiled, and when she turned to look at Yue Ji, her face suddenly turned cold as she said, “I’ll help you put on the wig, are you satisfied?”
This farce ended like this, and Yue Ji got his wish and got the wig that should have belonged to Zu Qi.
When he was called out by the staff and left the room, Yue Ji felt that everyone’s eyes on his back were like sharp needles, piercing his skin mercilessly. Even if he didn’t look back, he could guess that those eyes were mixed with contempt and disgust.
Compared with Zu Qi, who generously gave up his wig, he was like a reluctant market shrew who finally got what he wanted in a playful way.
Thinking of this, Yue Ji’s face felt as hot as if it was about to burn.
He gritted his teeth and walked to the director, producer and other interviewers.
As long as he got the role of male supporting actor, those people would not dare to say anything no matter how much they complained about him. On the contrary, he would be the one slapping them in the face.
Yue Ji took a deep breath, raised his head and cast his hopeful eyes towards Tang Moning, who was sitting at the edge – this person was his trump card.
On the other side, Xiao Tong greeted the staff before leaving, so less than fifteen minutes after Yue Ji left, the staff called Zu Qi’s name.
People who were jealous of Zu Qi before because of the wig couldn’t help but feel a little more sympathetic to him after Yue Ji’s unreasonable troubles. Even their attitudes became friendly for a long time, and they all spoke out to cheer Zu Qi.
Zu Qi responded with a smile.
Following the staff to the audition conference room, Zu Qi opened the door and was the first to see Yue Ji standing in the empty seat in the middle. His eyes moved forward and happened to meet the surprised face of Tang Moning in the judges’ seat.
Zhou Yan, who was standing beside Tang Moning, also showed a surprised expression, and soon his entire face became as ugly as if he had eaten a fly.
Zu Qi smiled slightly and walked in.
