The sound of high heels echoed urgently at the door. "Wait—"
It was a slightly shrill, indignant female voice.
Everyone looked in that direction, and the newcomer seemed pleased to be the center of attention. She curled her lips into a contemptuous smile, looking at Ethan with disdain, and said arrogantly, "Let this boy step aside, Ill audition first."
Xu Taos face had turned as dark as a cloud-covered sky, and he asked his assistant in a gloomy tone, "Who is this uneducated woman who can come to the audition site to make trouble so casually?"
The assistants eyebrows jumped heavily, and he awkwardly smiled, "Director, that... that is Miss Lily Connolly you appointed before."
Xu Tao looked at the woman in the off-shoulder dress, his eyes showing displeasure, "Dressed like a peacock, who can recognize her?"
The assistant continued to awkwardly smile.
"Director, should I continue?" Ethan, who was inexplicably despised by Lily Connolly, could only turn his head and ask Xu Tao. In fact, he could guess that Xu Tao would not give Lily Connolly face. After all, Xu Tao has been famous for a long time, and no one has been so presumptuous in front of him. Ethan guessed that the reason why Lily Connolly was replaced in his previous life was also due to todays incident.
"Continue," Xu Tao said with a gloomy face.
With these words from Xu Tao, Ethan could directly ignore the ridicule and contempt around him and perform the following scene more devotedly.
"Director Xu!" Lily Connolly stamped her feet in shame and indignation, and turned her head to say to her agent next to her, "Why is this kid so unprofessional? Drive him out first."
Dont say that Xu Taos inner anger is surging at the moment, even Ethan cant help but want to laugh. He didnt come into contact with Lily Connolly in his previous life, and he didnt know that this actress was so stupid. At Xu Taos audition site, she actually played big cards, with an attitude that she is the master here!
Ethan can now be sure that Lily Connolly will be replaced.
As expected, the next second Xu Taos expression changed, and he looked at Lily Connolly as if he had seen something disgusting, "Drive her out! I, Xu Tao, cant afford such a big-star star!"
"Director Xu... I..." Lily Connollys face also changed, but she was ashamed and indignant, "Where am I big-headed?" As she said, she also showed a grieved expression.
Ethan couldnt help but laugh in his heart. Such people in the entertainment industry cant live long. They get carried away with a little bit of starlight. The facts will tell them how fast they rise, and how hard they fall. No matter where, maintaining the most basic politeness is the way to go further in the entertainment industry. Ethan also warned himself in his heart.
"Miss Lily, you are late..." Xu Tao was so angry that he couldnt speak, so his assistant spoke awkwardly.
Lily Connollys momentum weakened a bit, but she still didnt change her grievance, "Director Xu, I still have an announcement in the morning, so I will be late... Does Director Xu have to care about these with me?"
Lily Connollys words completely poked Xu Taos fuse, and he slapped the glass on the table out, which exploded at Lily Connollys feet, scaring her to scream.
"What are you still doing? Drive the person out!" If its not necessary, no one is willing to tear their face to this extent in the entertainment industry, but Lily Connollys attitude of "the world is my mother, and everyone has to spoil me" is something no director can stand.
Two male staff members quickly stepped forward to ask Lily Connolly out.
Lily Connolly turned pale and forced her momentum, "Director Xu... Besides me... Besides me, who else can play this role?" She tried to eliminate Xu Taos idea with the role.
Xu Tao raised his hand and pointed directly at Ethan, and he said frankly, "He, he is better than you."
Lily Connolly glared at the innocent Ethan again, "Director Xu, then I will see where this unknown boy is better than me?"
To everyones surprise, Ethan actually looked up calmly and looked back at Lily Connolly, "Let me play a scene."
There was no modesty, nor arrogance, he just said such a sentence lightly. There were of course many people around who were watching jokes. No one would believe it, and no one was willing to believe that such a newcomer would perform well. They all showed a pity.
Lily Connolly snorted coldly and didnt take Ethan seriously at all.
Xu Taos expression was much more serious. He hoped that Ethan could give himself a surprise, but he also knew that this was just a luxury. Its not easy for newcomers to perform well without being on stage.
At this moment, Ethan suddenly started performing.
Ethan didnt intend to make a big fuss, and he chose a relatively simple scene from the options. Because "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has been filmed many times, Xu Tao continued to take his idol drama route and modified the original plot. After the modification, many plots became more dog-blooded. For example, in this scene, Xu Tao advanced the meeting between Simon Phoenix and Jason Hill, and originally he decided to let Lily Connolly play, so the script turned Simon Phoenix into a female role, and this scene was naturally written very beautifully and romantically.
Simon Phoenix encountered troubles in the teaching, so he went to a valley under the Blackwood Cliff and played the zither. Jason Hill accidentally entered the valley and was fascinated by such a wonderful sound, and unconsciously walked in front of Simon Phoenix. Simon Phoenix was wearing a red dress, and the valley was blowing fiercely, blowing Simon Phoenixs clothes. Jason Hill suddenly felt that the person in front of him was much more beautiful than his own sweetheart, and he was stunned for a while.
What Ethan had to perform was that Simon Phoenix was annoyed by Jason Hills gaze, so he stopped playing the zither and asked him coldly.
"Who are you?"
Ethan had already imagined the scene in his mind, and he began to perform according to the simulated appearance.
In terms of appearance, Ethan is more beautiful than Lily Connolly, and his handsome is very aggressive. It can leave a deep impression on people at a glance. And when he was cold, raised his eyebrows, and squinted at the void in front of him, he was like the real Simon Phoenix wearing a red dress, with a cold momentum, looking at Jason Hill.
No one played with him, so Ethan performed all the way against the air, but no one would feel that such a scene was ridiculous. People who are really good at performing are good at driving the audiences emotions. At this moment, the people at the audition site couldnt help but focus on Ethan. They were fascinated by the expression on his face.
In the script, the next Jason Hill would ask Simon Phoenix in embarrassment, how can a girl be alone in the valley? What happened?
And Simon Phoenix would answer him, "Oh, have you ever seen someone who can sit and play the zither when something is wrong?" At this time, Simon Phoenixs heart has been subtly distorted, and he has a high status, high skills, and excellent appearance. So facing such a stupid boy like Jason Hill, he showed his own contempt and ridicule without any politeness.
That majestic appearance, as if he was standing on the altar of the Sun and Moon Holy Cult at the moment.
In fact, Ethan doesnt need to continue performing. Just standing there has made Xu Tao feel that "this is Simon Phoenix."
"Clap clap clap..." The applause suddenly sounded, and Xu Tao finally had a smile on his face, "Wonderful, wonderful, its rare to have such an excellent newcomer. Theres no need to continue performing. I think no one can surpass you."
Ethan put away his external edge and returned to a low-key attitude. He smiled seemingly gentle, "Thank you, compared with the seniors who are trying out here, I still dont know anything. You are overpraising." Ethans modesty was like a slap in the face of Lily Connolly. Lily Connollys face turned pale, and the sarcasm she had prepared was swallowed back.
So many people are watching, dont they become a vivid contrast? Lily Connolly couldnt stand such humiliation, stamped her foot, picked up her bag and left, but she didnt even leave a harsh word, maybe she knew it was too disgraceful to stay here for a minute longer.
Her agent shouted "my lady" and chased her up with a helpless face.
With the "bad guy" Lily Connolly gone, the atmosphere of the crew immediately became harmonious. Before the audition, Ethan suddenly came in and made other people dissatisfied. Now it can be said that he used direct action to shut up other people, and no one could be jealous of him anymore. After all, he looks young and is a passer-by who was pulled in halfway. Unexpectedly, he not only has a good-looking face, but also has real material in his acting, instead of being a vase.
Xu Tao clapped excitedly and patted the side, "Hey,come over first, Ill tell you a few words, the deputy director, continue the audition on your side."
"Yes." The deputy director responded. Without Lily Connolly making trouble, the scene returned to order.
"Are you in the entertainment industry?" When Ethan approached, Xu Tao asked urgently. The idol drama is very good at promoting newcomers, but these newcomers generally dont have much acting skills. If there is a newcomer with both good looks and acting skills, how many directors cant ask for it! If he could pull this person into his own name, it would be equivalent to having a big money tree in the future!
Ethan thought of the chicken company that had just signed a contract. Although it was a bit embarrassing to say, he still said the name of the company, "I just signed a contract with Starlight Entertainment today." After saying that, he also showed a common green smile, performing the image of a young man who has just stepped into the entertainment industry and is looking forward to the future with a dream.
Xu Taos face changed, and he couldnt cover the regret on his face, "Well, you can register and leave your contact information after that, and then you can go back and wait for the notice."
"Thank you, director." Ethan bowed and turned to leave.
Of course, he didnt know that at this time, Xu Tao had fallen into a dilemma about whether it was worth "redeeming" him.
