Chu Ci naturally noticed the director's gaze.
Although the director did not say it directly, Chu Ci could still see the disgust and distrust in his heart through Mind Reading.
Chu Ci has relied on connections for the first time in his life, and he looked a little uncomfortable. "Um... otherwise... you try acting? If you still think I'm not good... will you give this role to someone else?"
It seemed that he didn't expect that Chu Ci would take the initiative to request a "trial". The director was stunned for a few seconds before he turned his attention to Ye Qingzhou: "This..."
Of course he wanted to try out the role himself. After all, although the role of the third prince in "Reign" is not many, it is one of the important characters throughout the whole drama. But Chu Ci is Ye Qingzhou after all. If the person named by E is not satisfied with the result of Chu Ci's audition, can Ye Qingzhou agree to replace Chu Ci?
"I have no objection."
Ye Qingzhou said warmly, "Just listen to him."
After receiving Ye Qingzhou's assurance, the director slowly relaxed. "Since Teacher Ye is also here, why don't you try the scene where the third prince meets the fourth prince for the first time? He can just cooperate with you..."
"Okay."
Chu Ci nodded.
The scene the director mentioned was in the script of The Third Prince. Before meeting the director, Chu Ci had already read the entire script.
Ye Qingzhou has no opinion either.
The box reserved by the director was very large, and there were only three of them in the box, so it was perfect for trial scenes.
"Do you still need to read the script?"
The director didn't know how good Chu Ci's memory was, so he took the initiative and suggested. "If you don't remember your lines very well, I can wait for you for another half hour..."
"No need."
Chu Ci shook his head. "Let's start now."
The director made an "OK" gesture.
This audition was a temporary act, and there were no suitable costumes and props in the box, so this part was not a real performance.
Performances without physical objects place high demands on actors. The director slowly calmed down and looked up at Chu Ci not far away.
Chu Ci is already in the act.
It's snowing again in Beijing.
The early winter air was filled with a biting chill, and Xiao Ziheng subconsciously tightened the fox fur around his body. The palace seemed to be particularly lively today, with people coming and going. Occasionally, the chatter of several palace residents reached Xiao Ziheng's ears.
--"I heard that the fourth prince is coming back."
--"The fourth prince is an immortal figure. He was accepted as a disciple by an expert when he was five years old..."
--"What are the fourth princes doing back at this time? Now is the critical period for seizing the heir, could it be possible..."
--"You don't want your life? Are royal matters something that we, the people, can discuss casually?"
--"That's what my sister taught me."
Xiao Ziheng couldn't hear the rest of the words clearly. He looked at the mid-red fallen plum blossoms in the yard and slowly exhaled a breath. When he was distracted, he suddenly felt warm all over his body. Along with this warmth came the concerned voice of the chamberlain. "Your Highness, it's time for you to go back."
"How long have I been out?"
Xiao Ziheng said warmly.
He is very handsome, with an abnormal porcelain white skin. Due to being sick all the time, his lip color is very light. Xiao Ziheng has a delicate sense of fragility on his body, as if he can be crushed with just a little force.
"Back to Your Highness, you have been out for more than half an hour."
Xiao Ziheng's health is not good, and the imperial doctor specifically told him not to take advantage of anything special.
"Is Zisu coming back?"
Xiao Ziheng thought of the comments he heard and whispered, "I remember Zisu was the most attached to me when he was a child. I haven't seen him for many years and I don't know how he is doing..."
"Third brother!"
Before Xiao Ziheng finished speaking, he heard a clear and clean voice of a young man. In the snowy sky, the red color on Xiao Zisu's clothes was particularly dazzling and eye-catching.
He had a high ponytail and was wearing a crimson shirt. He was full of energy and exuded a youthful look unique to his age.
Xiao Ziheng was attracted by Xiao Zisu at first sight.
He watched the dazzling red color getting closer and closer to him, and felt that the snowy sky was becoming brighter.
"Long time no see."
Xiao Zisu looked at the pale-faced Xiao Ziheng, with a bit of pity in his voice. "Third brother, how is your health lately? Is there anything I can do to help?"
Xiao Ziheng was thinking about the words "Long time no see", and he murmured in a low voice, "Thirteen years..."
Xiao Zisu followed his master and left the palace when he was five years old. He is now eighteen years old, thirteen years apart.
He still likes red as he did when he was a child.
"... what?"
Xiao Zisu didn't hear clearly what Xiao Ziheng said. He bent down slightly and closed the distance between the two. "Third brother, what did you just say? I didn't hear clearly..."
Xiao Ziheng smelled a very light, very light, very light floral fragrance, which was the smell of freedom outside the palace.
Xiao Ziheng was attracted by the smell. He raised his eyes slightly, but unexpectedly he saw Xiao Zisu's beautiful pink lips. He felt inexplicably dry in the mouth and breathed slightly, "No... nothing..."
"Third brother, are you feeling unwell?"
Xiao Zisu felt that something was not right about Xiao Ziheng's state. "Why are you gasping for breath while talking? Do you need to see a doctor?"
The word "pan" stimulated Xiao Ziheng. His thoughts were dazed for a moment, and a picture flashed in his mind. Xiao Zisu, with a red face, was lying on the bed, his wrists were tightly bound, and there were tears in his beautiful eyes. He looked particularly easy to bully...
Xiao Ziheng was frightened by his absurd thoughts. He hurriedly took half a step back. "Yes... I feel a little uncomfortable... You... you should go back first..."
"You really don't need my help?"
Xiao Zisu feels that Xiao Ziheng's condition is not quite right.
"Hmm."
Xiao Ziheng didn't dare to look directly into Xiao Zisu's eyes, so he explained in a low voice, "I'll just go back to the room and lie down for a while."
Seeing this, Xiao Zisu had no choice but to give up.
Seeing the crimson figure gradually disappearing from his sight, Xiao Ziheng sighed helplessly, "Zisu, your purpose of winning over people is too obvious..."
"Your Highness, what did you say?"
The waiter listened in confusion and was completely confused.
"Nothing..."
Xiao Ziheng raised his eyes and looked at the flying snowflakes in the sky. "I just feel that the heavy snow this year will not stop so soon."
Xiao Zisu's strong return is destined to cause a bloody storm. Will he be able to survive alone at that time?
Xiao Ziheng's extremely beautiful eyes showed a rare dazed emotion.
The audition ends here.
