Chapter II
The audition book in Lan Xiu's hand was only three pieces of paper, half of which were performance clips, and the other half was a synopsis.
"Ethereal Sword" is a TV series adapted from the classic Xianxia novel of the same name, the whole story takes place in an alternate world, the demon king Dome Eclipse in order to get the Great Phoenix Kingdom Holy Relic Soul Clock, killed the emperor Shen Tusi and then pretended to be him to seize the throne, and killed many people in the royal family. The young prince Shentu Jinhe escaped under the protection of the queen, and was rescued and adopted by the elders of the Yuehuamen of the Xiuzhen Great Sect by chance. After becoming an adult, Shentu Jinhe began to look for the ethereal sword of the immortal world that was lost in the world in order to take revenge, and along the way he performed chivalrous deeds, slashed demons and eliminated demons, and got acquainted with Yun Yueyao, the saint of Tianyun Valley, the half-demon Zhu Qingxu, Ye Fengyu, the daughter of the prime minister, Wen Puyu and others, and derived many grievances, love and hatred that were cut and unsorted and chaotic. In the end, Shentu Jinhe found the Ethereal Divine Sword, killed the Eclipse and regained the throne, and married Yun Yueyao as the queen, and his life can be described as complete.
Lan Xiu wants to play the role of the half-demon Zhu Qingxu. In the story, Zhu Qingxu was abandoned by his relatives after he was born, and was adopted by the monks of Xingming Temple, he was pure and kind by nature, ignorant of the world, and his greatest wish in this life was to find his parents and ask them why they abandoned him.
Shentu Jinhe and Yun Yueyao came to Xingming Temple in search of the Ethereal Divine Sword, breaking Zhu Qingxu's peaceful heart, and he followed the two out of the temple, while looking for clues to their relatives while assisting Shentu Jinhe and Yun Yueyao in finding the Ethereal Divine Sword.
Then, after going through hardships and dangers along the way, Shentu Jinhe finally found the Ethereal Excalibur and prepared to fight to the death against the Eclipse. At this time, Zhu Qingxu had fallen in love with Yun Yueyao, and at the same time knew his life experience.
More than 10 years ago, the Great Phoenix Kingdom had frequent wars and frequent demons, and the emperor Shen Tusi heard that the fox clan had a holy relic soul bell to kill demons and calm the war, so he ordered the soldiers to go to the fox clan to ask for the soul clock. At this time, it happened that a demon war was launched between heaven and earth, and the fox clan relied on the soul bell to protect the safety of the clan, so they naturally refused to lend it. At that time, Shentu Lanxi also served in the army, and in order to capture the Soul Bell, he pretended to be a fleeing civilian woman and ran to the fox clan for help. At that time, the person responsible for guarding the soul bell was Zhu Qingxu's father, the fox demon Wei Qiao, Shentu Lanxi deliberately seduced Wei Qiao and became pregnant in order to deceive Wei Qiao's trust, and when Wei Qiao relaxed his vigilance and retreated, he took the opportunity to steal the soul clock, causing the entire fox clan, including Wei Qiao, to be killed by the demon world.
Later, Shentu Lanxi returned to the Great Phoenix Kingdom and gave birth to Zhu Qingxu, because he was disgusted that Zhu Qingxu had fox demon blood, he ordered the maids around him to strangle him to death and throw him into a mass grave outside the palace without looking at it. The maid couldn't bear it, and after leaving the palace, she handed over Zhu Qingxu to the monks of Xingming Temple who went out to make a fortune, and saved Zhu Qingxu's life.
Zhu Qingxu was sad after knowing the truth, and Yun Yueyao told him that she was afraid that Shentu Jinhe would be unexpected in the decisive battle, and told Zhu Qingxu that she would not want to live alone if Shentu Jinhe died, hoping that Zhu Qingxu would help her bring the relics of the saint back to Tianyun Valley. Zhu Qingxu was heartbroken because of his life experience, and felt bored, and after listening to Yun Yueyao's words, he didn't want his lover to be hurt, so he quietly stunned Shentu Jinhe and went to the decisive battle on his behalf.
The result was naturally that Zhu Qingxu died gloriously in the decisive battle, and Shentu Jinhe rushed over to give the dome a fatal blow, and Shun Lì avenged it, and since then he has gained fame and fortune, and he and Yun Yueyao have become a happy couple. As for Zhu Qingxu, the poor half-demon, he has long been forgotten by the world.
......
Looking at the whole plot, although the character setting of Zhu Qingxu is very sad, it is undoubtedly very popular. All the personalities of the characters in the whole play are relatively complex, even the heroes and heroines have a selfish and dark side, only Zhu Qingxu is clean and pure from beginning to end, and the plot of Zhu Qingxu knowing his life experience and dying tragically for love in the finale is full of blood. As long as the performance is good, there is no doubt that this role will definitely be the hottest one in this drama, and with such a good role, it is no wonder that some people want to be determined.
Lan Xiu looked at the short plot in his hand, which was the plot when Zhu Qingxu knew his life experience and was interviewed by Yun Yueyao, and made up his mind to go to war for Shentu Jinhe. This paragraph is the last □□ of the whole play, and it is also the last □□ of the whole life of the character Zhu Qingxu, combining his sadness, pain, love and despair, and the acting skills are extremely demanding, and the acting skills are not in place or too exaggerated, which is easy to ruin the role.
The director's purpose in choosing this section is obviously to make it difficult for the audition actors, but this is an opportunity for Lan Xiu, although he is no longer very happy to sign with Boya Entertainment, but this role is really destined for him, so he wants to try to fight for it.
In fact, Lan Xiu is not a real human, he is the same as Zhu Qingxu in the script, he also has half fox blood, but he is not a fox demon.
Tens of millions of years ago, Lan Xiu was just a small divine beast named Lan, born on Kunlun Mountain. His father is the divine beast Lu Wu who is in charge of the Heavenly Nine Domains Territory and the Kunlun Mountain Garden, and his mother is the Nine-Tailed Fox who is in charge of the affairs of the human heirs for the Qingqiu Kingdom.
At that time, Lan was already 100 years old, but in terms of human life, he was only a child of three or five years old, and he liked to transform into a human body to go to the town under the Kunlun Mountain to play. Who knew that one day he met a group of bull-nosed veterans who were not good at academics but had quite a lot of magic, and mistook Lan for a monster, and when he came up, he tried his best to subdue the demon and eliminate the demon. Although Lan has supernatural powers to protect his body, he doesn't have enough mana, and he was beaten all over his body in a few hits. When his life was hanging by a thread, Lan sacrificed the magic weapon he stole from his father and defeated the old Taoist priest, but he himself was counterattacked by the magic weapon and was sucked into the mustard seed space.
When Lan woke up again, he was already on the bustling road of Los Angeles in the 21st century, and only the Yuan Shen was left, and his body had already dissipated.
There was a snowstorm in Los Angeles that day, and it rained heavily near evening, and the road conditions were so bad that cars couldn't see the road clearly. So before Lan could recover from this colorful new world, more than a dozen cars had a rear-end collision.
Many people were injured in the crash, including one car that was knocked out of the lane by a large truck behind it, and the side hit a roadside pole and the body turned over. In the car were a middle-aged couple, the wife was an elderly pregnant woman who was more than six months pregnant. The husband and wife were lucky not to suffer too much trauma from the rollover, but the child in the wife's womb was shocked.
The child, who is only six months old, is about to leave this world before he has time to give birth to his soul. Lan sensed the imminent death of the life, and did not have time to think twice before burrowing into the pregnant woman's belly. Without a body, his already very weak Yuan Shen probably wouldn't be able to survive in the world for long, and at that time, there was nothing more suitable for him than a clean baby body.
The pregnant woman was soon admitted to the hospital, and Lan Yeshun was born and placed in the nursery box as a small miracle. He spent half a year in that transparent box before being brought home by his parents in this life, and by that time he had a new identity - Lanthieu Scott, the youngest child of the third generation of the Scott family.
The Scott family is the first family in Hollywood, and the ancestors of the Scott family have been in the film and television industry since the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and created the world's most famous media company - Scott Group. They were the first gold diggers in the entertainment industry, and they firmly rooted their entire family in Hollywood more than 100 years ago, and generations of family members have made great contributions to the development of the world film and television industry. It can be said that this family has completely attested to the history of Hollywood's development, so there was once a saying circulating in circles: "Without the Scott family, Hollywood would no longer be Hollywood." ”
Of course, the most powerful thing about the Scott family is not their powerful position in Hollywood, but the intertwined power background behind them. Members of the Scott family are good at marrying various top families, such as Lanxiu's grandmother, who is from the Rodriguez family, which is behind the five major families in New York, and his mother is from the Gomez family, a military and political family.
It can be said that Lan Xiu has a good baby in his life, and he was born with a diamond spoon in his mouth.
"Hey, what are you thinking, are you nervous? I think you're auditioning for the first time, and I haven't seen you before. ”
An energetic voice interrupted Lan Xiu's memories, Lan Xiu tilted his head to look, and there was a tall, thin boy with wheat-colored skin standing next to him, the other party was grinning at him, looking a little familiar, but his eyes were very sincere and not annoying.
"It's my first time auditioning and I don't know what to do. "In the United States, Lan Xiu has always chosen the director, and this is really the first time that a director has chosen him. However, in the past, he chose roles that did not show his face, but this time he is a male number two who wants to brush his face a lot, probably to let the director take a look at his acting skills.
"Didn't your agent tell you about this? Actually, you just have to go in and briefly introduce yourself, and then the director tells you to start acting. I was also nervous at the first audition, and after one or two I felt like it was nothing. In short, just play your own level, and the rest depends on the director's vision and the agent's ability to tear up. The last sentence was said by the other party in a suppressed voice, and he put on a mysterious expression, and he was really good at acting.
"That's right. Lan Xiu nodded noncommittally, he didn't have an agent yet.
"My name is Shi Linfeng, what about you?" Shi Linfeng stretched out a hand and looked at Lan Xiu with sparkling eyes. He liked Lan Xiu at first sight, Lan Xiu was better looking than the SD dolls in the room he collected, his facial features were delicate and perfect, his skin was snow-white and snow-white, and there was no flaw at all, which made him want to touch it.
"Hello, my name is Yi Lanxiu. Lan Xiu simply shook hands with Shi Linfeng, he didn't care about the other party's eyes full of heat, anyway, he had been looked at like this since his previous life.
Shi Linfeng touched Lan Xiu's hand as he wished, rubbed his fingers happily at an angle that others couldn't see, and was very happy in his heart, and continued to talk: "Your name is really nice, unlike me, you are a rough man when you hear it." By the way, which role are you trying?"
"Zhu Qingfu. ”
"Huh?!"
