After a leisurely two-day rest at home, Gu Yunxi was not surprised to receive the audition notice from his assistant. He chuckled, his eyes curving upwards, inadvertently revealing an wicked air. Even though he's already tried his best to adjust his aura to be similar to the original self, the wickedness in Gu Yunxi's bones would still be revealed from time to time, especially when he smiled.

He was notified that his audition time is in the afternoon. Gu Yunxi shrugged his shoulders. The original self was really not liked, it seems.

Usually, the audition will be informed several days in advance so that the actor can be prepared. He didn't receive the email until noon, and the audition will be held in the afternoon. No one would believe that they weren't giving him a hard time .

Gu Yunxi made some simple dishes, cleaned up the table and went back to the bedroom to wash up. After two days of recuperation, this body has rounded out a little. His complexion was no longer so pale and wilted, his hair also became dark and shiny, clinging obediently by his ear, sweeping down his thin white shoulder.

The original self liked shoulder-length hair very much. He rarely had other hair styles in his career of more than ten years. Gu Yunxi slightly smiled at the mirror, and the dimples that appeared on both cheeks were so cute that it tempted people to feel them and poke them.

Gu Yunxi licked his dry lips and laughed silently. From this moment on, he is Zhou Xiran. He will live in the way of Zhou Xiran, realize his wish, destroy the heaven's darling and seize the world's power.

After taking a bath, changing into decent clothes, putting on sunglasses and a mask, Gu Yunxi headed for the subway under the big sun.

He was kept in captivity by Qin Mo in the last world. The man treated him like a pearl and like a treasure. Every time he went out, he was either in a high-end car or a private plane. When would he need to walk a long way to take the subway?

Nevertheless, Zhou Xiran's savings have already been swept clean and his car sold out. Now Gu Yunxi doesn't even have the money to flag down a car, truly living his days digging for money.

Zhou Xiran is a very professional actor. He will arrive in advance for every audition, and he will never let people wait. Following his usual fashion, Gu Yunxi arrived early.

There were only two or three no-name small actors in the venue, holding their audition numbers. When they saw his fully covered appearance, they looked at him curiously and wondered which big name had come so tightly wrapped.

Gu Yunxi slowly took off his sunglasses and mask, took the number and calmly sat down, flipping through the script. With the increasing number of people who came to audition, the sound of harsh comments about him and ridicule could be heard in the previously silent venue from time to time.

Gu Yunxi sat still like a mountain, completely immersed in the script.

As soon as Gu Xin came in, he saw the prominent young man sitting upright, his eyes brightened. It's inappropriate to say that he is a teenager, because this person has both the youthful purity of a young boy and the enchanting charm of an adult.

It's hard to imagine how two completely different characteristics can be perfectly and harmoniously reflected in one person. Relying solely on Gu Yunxi's aura, Gu Xin knew that this person was the main character of his new movie.

He walked quickly to Gu Yunxi, and pulled his arm to force him to stand up. He studied every inch of Gu Yunxi's beautiful face, even reaching out to caress it. Seeing Gu Yunxi's slightly furrowed brow, he laughed heartily and patted him on the shoulder, “It's you!”

Then Gu Xin called the props manager and make-up artist, pointed to Gu Yunxi and said, “Go, get him in Yun Shang's clothes and make-up.” As soon as the words came out, the envious sight of ten people on the scene shot towards Gu Yunxi. Everyone who appeared here this afternoon were all here for the role of “Yun Shang”. “Yun Shang” is the main character, the character with the most scenes in the whole movie.

Without saying a word, Gu Yunxi nodded toward Gu Xin. He followed a group of people into the dressing room, and when he came out again, everyone sucked in their breathse.

Zhou Xiran was already very good-looking. With Gu Yunxi's appearance touch-up, plus Yun Shang's beautiful makeup, he was was stunning, especially when Gu Yunxi looked up at the people at the crowd; the hidden melancholy in his eyes could make people forget everything, only bearing the desire to embrace him and "properly" comfort him.

“Good, good, good!” Gu Xin excitedly jumped up from his chair, clapped his hands vigorously and said gleefully. Obviously, he was very satisfied with Gu Yunxi's appearance, “Act this scene.” He opened the script and pointed to one of the pages. The assistant respectfully handed the script over to Gu Yunxi.

For appearances, Gu Yunxi flipped through the pages. He rolled his eyes internally. This Director Gu, he really didn't know whether he admired him or still didn't like him.

This page is an unimportant scene in the whole drama, which is about the short confrontation between the main character Yun Shang and the Emperor after he was exposed to have sown political turmoil in the court. However, the confrontation between the main characters has appeared many times in the movie. If you don't remember the specific cause and effect of the confrontation, you will absolutely be unable to act out the feeling that Gu Xin wants. Moreover, it's difficult for one person to perform well in a two-person scene.

The script of the new movie is very thick. It would probably take ten and a half months for an ordinary person to remember the contents. The original self Zhou Xiran didn't even flip through the script after he received it. He didn't even know what the story was about, let alone have any memory of this page.

Fortunately, Gu Yunxi has a photographic memory. Just one read-through was enough for him to have the whole book in his brain. Not just a page, you can point at one of the words, and he could tell you exactly where it appeared.

After leisurely using a minute to read the scene, Gu Yunxi looked at Gu Xin and said, “Okay. Do you want me to do it myself, or will someone play the other part?”

“I'll accompany you.” Anyone could see that Gu Xin was extremely interested in Gu Yunxi. He stood in front of Gu Yunxi, pulled over a bench and sat down, shouting, “Begin.”

A crowd gathered around, everyone was curious about which scene he was going to try. Director Gu's audition was completely public, but no media was present. They believed that Gu Xin wouldn't find a suitable actor this time. The sarcastic headlines are already prepared, this audition's not worth going.

Gu Yunxi quickly entered the state. He knelt on the ground, his eyes cast down as he stayed silent. However, although there was no speech, his posture was full of grief, as if his heart had been broken. A moment later, he raised his eyes, that pair of pure eyes spoke of heavy sadness. His red lips moved slightly, beginning to form words. After struggling for a long time, he finally said sadly, “Your Majesty didn't believe in this servant.” That voice was like pearls falling on a jade plate, clear and touching yet containing endless sorrow.

“Zhen… Zhen don't know.” Gu Xin stared fixedly at him. He reached out and stroked his long, soft hair, “Yun Shang, can zhen believe you?”

Gu Yunxi looked at him with tears in his eyes. He gently grasped Gu Xin's warm hand and placed it on his heart, “This servant's heart and sincerity towards Your Majesty can be seen by Heaven and Earth.” Slowly, he pulled the elegant clothes on his body down, biting his lips as he fixed his eyes on the Emperor.

The people around watched the two of them. With a few words and a few actions, Gu Yunxi let them indulge in his superb acting skills.

They tried their best to keep their eyes wide open to see the delicate skin under the gorgeous clothes. Only Gu Xin remembered to continue the scene.

“Yun Shang, Zhen's Yun Shang.” The beautiful man who was kneeling on the ground was pulled up, he sat the beautiful man on his leg and his hands eagerly began pulling at the clothes that were an eyesore, “Yun Shang.” He cried out the man's name with fascination.

Gu Yunxi leaned into Gu Xin's embrace, his earlier grief disappearing, “Your Majesty.” His call was full of sweetness and amazing charm. The air was full of erotic atmosphere, and his whole person seemed to turn into an enchanting concubine.

“Good, haha, very good!!!” Gu Xin's sudden cheer startled the people in the room. They returned to their senses. Their faces were all red, and some of them covered their lower bodies with shame. Gu Yunxi's last voice was so charming that their bones ached.

Gu Yunxi silently got up from Gu Xin's leg and tidied up his clothes. It truly was embarrassing to perform this kind of scene in front of a room full of people. He coughed and asked, “Is that okay?”

“This role must be yours!” Gu Xin firmly declared, and he immediately called for an assistant to prepare the contract.

Gu Yunxi looked over the contract. The treatment was neither good nor bad. With Zhou Xiran's present reputation, it could be considered as a preferential treatment. He picked up the pen and signed his name. As he shook hands with Gu Xin to express his gratitude, he said sincerely, “Thank you, Director Gu. Let us have a happy cooperation.”

“Happy cooperation.” The smile on Gu Xin's face was extraordinarily bright. This movie is his painstaking efforts for ten years. The decision for the actor who plays the leading role of Yun Shang has always been something that troubled him. He had been worried that it would be difficult to find a person who could perform the role perfectly after searching the entertainment circle. He didn't expect to find a treasure in the first audition.

Gu Yunxi signed the contract and left. The auditions of other characters were not related to him. He demonstrated the example of a reclusive youth very well. Originally, Gu Xin's movie still ended up being scrapped, because he could not find anyone who he could agree to play Yun Shang. He had no choice but to give up the movie. This became his greatest regret in life.

Now that Gu Yunxi has been signed, Gu Xin's body was radiating excitement. In less than two days, he has actually found all the actors he needs. The crew was quickly and efficiently arranged. Even Gu Yunxi couldn't help raising his eyebrows and praising in admiration after receiving notice to report immediately.
