Chapter 221 – Audition


“You’re so cruel!”


Lu Chen has just picked up his cellphone, and he could already hear Chen Jianhao’s angry roar coming out from it.


Lu Chen: “Uh…”


He hadn’t eaten breakfast yet, and he has already been scolded, which made him confused. He asked in surprise, “Brother Jianhao, what’s swrong?”


“What’s wrong? What’s wrong with you?”


Chen Jianhao said angrily, “You brought Chen Fei’er to Forget Worries Bar last night, but you didn’t even inform me!”


“So, aren’t you being cruel?”


When Lu Chen and Chen Fei’er went to the bar last night, Chen Jianhao wasn’t there.


When he rushed over after receiving the news, not to mention Chen Fei’er, even Lu Chen had already left. He had run over for nothing!


Boss Chen was very upset, especially after listening to the old customers saying how good and beautiful Chen Fei’er’s new song was. He felt like a litter of wild cats was scratching his heart. It was very uncomfortable.


Chen Jianhao was a fan of Chen Fei’er. Although he wasn’t a die-hard fan, a crazy fan or a brain-dead fan, he was a real fan.


In the drawer of his room, he kept all of Chen Fei’er’s CD albums there.


Missing such an opportunity really made him thumped his chest and stamped his feet!


He called Lu Chen at that time, but Lu Chen’s cellphone was off, so he called again this morning.


Lu Chen said with a smile: “Brother Jianhao, you have really wronged me. Last night, it was Sister Fei who temporarily decided to go to Forget Worries Bar. Even if I called you at that time, you wouldn’t been able to make it to the scene.”


“If I have a chance in the future, I will invite Sister Fei to come over again.”


Of course, Chen Jianhao wasn’t really angry. What he wanted was these words from Lu Chen. He immediately smiled: “You’re becoming more and more promising now, kid. Even Heavenly Queen Chen treats you differently. Are you two… ahem!”


He wanted to say if he really hooked up with her, but he felt that it was too much, so he swallowed it back.


Lu Chen smiled bitterly: “We are friends, like sister and brother.”


Chen Jianhao said: “Sister and brother relationship would be for the best, otherwise I will be jealous. Remember what you said!”


Lu Chen ended the call with Chen Jianhao speechless.


Just at this time, a man with short hair wearing a close-fitting t-shirt came over and asked, “Lu Chen, let’s practice some moves!”


This 30-year-old capable and vigorous man named Wan Yong was the coach in charge of fighting at the Borui Club.


The Borui Club was the property of Li Mubai’s family. Lu Chen first came here with Li Mushi, and later gave him a premium VIP card so that he could use all the fitness equipment here for free.


There was a fight hall in the Borui Club, which was not open to the public except for its members. The coaches and some members of the hall came from the military and work part-time in the security company of the Li family.


This was equivalent to a small training base for them.


With the help of his relationship with Li Mubai and Li Mushi, Lu Chen moved his daily exercise to the Borui Club, because it was easy for him to find someone to practice martial arts here.


The people in the fight hall, including Wan Yong, admired Lu Chen’s strength very much.


Therefore, there was no shortage of people who humbly ask for advice and learn from him.


Moreover, Lu Chen also brought some changes to the club fight hall, such as the wooden dummy1 erected next to the ring.


This was specially ordered to practice Wing Chun. He paid for it himself, and anyone can use it.


Lu Chen has his own ideas.


He was now very familiar with Wan Yong and has a good relationship with him.


Hearing the latter’s invitation, Lu Chen didn’t talk nonsense and made an “ok” gesture.


With a smile, Wan Yong grabbed the rope of the ring and suddenly jumped up.


He was an upright veteran, who has honed his skills in the army and liked to compare skills with others.


Unfortunately, in the Borui Club, there was no one that could be a match for him.


Li Mushi was very powerful, but Wan Yong has never been serious with her and has been giving way to this young lady.


Wan Yong was actually quite depressed.


Until Lu Chen appeared. He was able to regain the feeling of fighting and he could fight freely.


Therefore, the discussion in the morning has become a reserved program for the two.


Lu Chen was about to join him when his cell phone rang again.


This was the third call he received this morning.


Lu Chen shook his head and more or less realized the helplessness of a star artist.


It was his sister Lu Xi who called him.


Lu Xi told him a piece of good news: “Alchuang Film and Television Production Company just called and invited you to audition for the TV series “Urban Love” tomorrow, saying that there is a role that should be very suitable for you!”


“TV series?”


Lu Chen was immediately refreshed: “What role?”


“Of course, it’s a male supporting role, playing the role of a policeman…”


Lu Xi said, “There are about five episodes, and if it is popular, there’s a chance for a sequel.”


Lu Chen said decisively, “No problem. I’m going to audition!”


So far, Lu Chen has only acted in one commercial and one music video.


Although Director Zhang Wentian promised to give Lu Chen a role in his big film, the film has not been officially started yet, and maybe something have happened.


There were too many people staring at Zhang Wentian’s big film!


Lu Chen intended to develop towards film and television, his plan was to develop in the three fields, film, television, and music, but he has never found a suitable opportunity to cut in. Now that someone has taken the initiative to invite him to do an audition, how can he miss it?


And the role of a policeman was right up his alley!


Lu Xi said: “I have already agreed for you, and the other party has also sent the script over. You’d better make the best use of the time to prepare. The ratings of this TV series are good. There must be a lot of competition.”


Lu Chen said, “Then I’ll come back immediately.”


He apologized to Wan Yong and drove back to his studio.


The script sent by Alchuang Film and Television Production Company has been printed. It was actually a thin two-page A4 paper. The name of the character involved was Chen Yaoyang. He was a young policeman who has just graduated from the police academy.


He was kind and brave, and has good skills. The role positioning was very clear.


In the plot of the script, Chen Yaoyang caught the thief who wanted to steal from the female lead, and the two got to know each other2. The former was attracted to the latter and began a passionate pursuit.


The female lead also has a good impression of Chen Yaoyang, but she always remembered the male lead who just broke up with her. So, a painful story unfolds. Of course, Comrade Chen Yaoyang couldn’t be together with Pan Xia in the end.


Lu Chen read it carefully and felt that the role wasn’t very difficult.


But he still made careful preparations.


The TV series “Urban Love” was still being broadcast on the city channel of Beijing Satellite TV. The current national audience rating was 0.35%, and the audience rating in Beijing and Tianjin was 1.09%, which was pretty good.


The first season of “Urban Love” was coming to an end, and the role that Lu Chen was auditioning for would appear in the first episode of the second season.


So, it was an important supporting role.


Alchuang Film and Television production Company, which produced this TV series, has a good reputation in the industry, and Director Yan Chengyi also has a good reputation. It was definitely not a small and crude team.


In short, it was a rare opportunity!


It should be known that in Beijing, not only were there famous schools such as Beijing Film, Chinese Opera and Beijing Art, but also a large number of actors and artists. An ordinary TV series was very popular. It was necessary to reveal some information about the role causally. This would definitely attract a group of people to break their head.


Lu Chen knew that he was definitely not the only candidate for the audition, but he didn’t expect that the competition would be so fierce!


At 9 o’clock the next morning, when Lu Chen came to Alchuang Film and Television Production Company in advance, five or six other candidates were already sitting in the small room outside the audition room.


What they have in common with Lu Chen was that they were all very young. Their appearance was extraordinary. They were handsomely handsome and charmingly charming. All of them were exuding with confidence.


When Lu Chen came in, everyone’s eyes were focused on him.


Some people obviously recognized him and frowned.


However, no one spoke until Lu Chen found a place to sit down. The atmosphere in the room was very depressing.


With Lu Chen, there were a total of seven people participating in the audition!


What was interesting was that Alchuang Film and Television Production Company actually provided props and costumes for all the auditioners.


It was a police uniform and it came in all sizes.


Lu Chen asked for a good-fitting suit and put it on in the dressing room of Alchuang.


By the time he came out, all the young ladies in charge of costume and props management in Alchuang all had their eyes lit up.


He looked really cool3!


Lu Chen was the tallest among all those who participated in the audition, and his physique is very well-proportioned. He was a natural clothes rack4. He was particularly stylish in uniforms.


At 09:30, the interview officially began.


Lu Chen was number four.


The first one went in, and came out after only five minutes later, looking depressed and frustrated.


His audition process was obviously a failure and was rejected on the spot.


The second went in and came out after staying inside for 7 minutes, with the same ugly expression.


The third went in.


Some of the young people who were still sitting in the room waiting were obviously nervous. Some lowered their heads and were silent, while others stared at the script in their hands. Even Lu Chen couldn’t help worrying.


But there was a man with peach blossom eyes who looked very relaxed. He was leaning on his chair with his legs crossed, and there was always a smile on his face, as if he were certain that he would get the role.


Lu Chen couldn’t help glancing at him.


This peach-eyed man was feminine in appearance. His age, appearance and dress were in line with the popular little fresh meat5, His skin was very white, with a hint of feminine taste.


He Probably noticed Lu Chen’s gaze. He turned his head, and the corners of his lips evoked a sneering arc.


As if to say – with me here, you can’t have any wishful thinking!


Unfortunately, Lu Chen couldn’t remember who the other party was. There were really many people with similar appearance in the circle.


“Lu Chen…”


The third came out even faster, and it was over in just a few minutes. The whole person was like frosted eggplant.


So, it was Lu Chen’s turn, who was the fourth.


Upon hearing his name, Lu Chen immediately stood up, straightened his uniform and went into the conference room for the audition.


At this moment, his mood became very calm.
