16. Chapter 16: Before the Audition

"Jianghu is a Circle" is a funny martial arts novel, which is loved by readers for its unique writing techniques and the author's personality shaping of the characters in the novel, but the most striking characters in the novel are not the male and female protagonists, but the male second in it.

The second male is named Wen Renhan, who is the innocent and stupid little brother in the protagonist group on the surface, but behind the scenes, he is the evil and crazy demon sect leader.

Ten years ago, evil and crazy was still a compliment, a necessary adjective for a male protagonist, but ten years later, the word evil madness has become synonymous with "thunder man", whether readers will continue to like this character, even the author himself is a little hesitant.

Since "Jianghu is a Circle" was announced to enter the preparatory stage, readers of this novel have expressed concern about it, and many people have even picked up the novel again, trying to retrieve the memories of many years ago.

The novel was released ten years ago, and its influence was already very wide at that time, and in that era when the Internet was not developed, many people had heard of the name of this novel even if they had not read it, so you can imagine how much influence "Jianghu is a Circle" had at that time.

Many people may be junior high school students, high school students, or college students when they read novels, but not everyone will revisit a novel over and over again, they may remember the name of the novel, remember the general content of the novel, remember a certain character in it, and forget all the details.

Ten years later, the former junior high school students have graduated from college, the former high school students are about to enter the marriage hall, and the former college students can play soy sauce, recalling this novel, it is more about their own beauty, when they were young/when they were young, they used to like novels and will be made into TV series, what a beautiful thing.

Coincidentally, these people are now the main force of Weibo, so as soon as the news of the novel's adaptation of the TV series came out, many Weibo reminiscing about the past suddenly appeared on Weibo, of course, this novel is the most mentioned.

In everyone's description, the most mentioned is not the male and female protagonists of the novel, but the second male protagonist.

Wen Renhan is not only evil and crazy, but even the name is very domineering in the style of the president, it stands to reason that such a character and name should be the treatment of the protagonist, but the author of "Jianghu is a Circle" does not set it this way, but lets Wen Renhan run through the whole novel as the second male.

What's more, Wen Renhan did not fall in love with the heroine in the novel, and the final ending was not wolf, in fact, he felt that he was tired of playing the rivers and lakes, so he took the initiative to quit, and finally achieved the ending of justice defeating the villain.

Sold cute, played cool, handsome and chic, extremely smart, even his bad personality was a proper plus at the time, plus the author's writing is good, the character picture written is full of sense, for the girls who were full of pink bubbles in their hearts at the time, it was a matter of course to hear that people were popular.

As soon as the popularity of Weibo went up, everyone found an amazing thing.

It stands to reason that ten years have passed in a novel, and it is almost difficult for people to remember the characters in the novel, and even some people who don't remember the plot of the story very well, but when everyone began to recall the past, they found that they all remembered one person, that is, the second male in the novel.

There are also many people who began to revisit this novel because of the memory of their youth, but finally found that this novel from ten years ago does not seem to be unconventional now, even when they see the four words of evil and crazy, there is a full sense of happiness, and the long-term memory is turned out little by little, like opening an old picture album, happy and beautiful.

For investors, the popularity of the Internet is also part of their reference, so after noticing the cold situation, they immediately asked the screenwriter to add a role to this role.

At the same time, those actors who originally disdained the role of the second male actor also came to audition, and even some super second-tier actors were willing to commit themselves to playing this role.

The scene of "Jianghu is a Circle" has been almost built, and the location of this audition is also in this scene.

Shi Ning had been waiting for half an hour, and seeing that the appointed audition time was coming, but Shao Qian hadn't come yet, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

At this moment, the appearance of a voice disturbed his anxious feelings.

"Brother Shi?"

With the youth of a teenager and the maturity of an adult, it should have been a very beautiful voice, but he spoke with unconcealed mockery.

Shi Ning looked at the visitor, the simple white casual clothes lined him even more eye-catching, but the very youthful outfit worn by ordinary young people was a little weird on him, especially the neckline that he deliberately pulled up.

It's still September, the weather is not hot, but it's definitely not cold, and it's obviously easier for the other party to dress like this to attract the attention of others, but Shi Ning knows very well that the other party is definitely not intentional to dress like this today.

Shi Ning has not been in the entertainment industry for a long time, but he has also seen the situation where artists from many other companies sell their bodies in order to come out, because Chi's International has strict supervision in this area, and it has publicly stated that it will not let artists sell their bodies, and he took Lin Chen and Shao Qian without any accidents.

Lin Chen's changes were expected by Shi Ning, this person had never hidden his ambitions, and he could even do anything for this ambition.

It was only for a moment that Shi Ning understood why Lin Chen was dressed like this, I am afraid that the gold lord behind him did too much.

Shi Ning's gaze was not hidden, and his expression of looking up and down was even more meaningless.

This kind of scrutiny made Lin Chen's heart rise a burst of nameless fire, and the competition for the second male suddenly became fierce, so that he had to try his best to please the person behind him, hoping that the duck in his hand would not fly, but he didn't expect that person to be unrestrained, and after the intense sex/event, there were many traces on Lin Chen's neck that a clear-eyed person could understand at a glance.

The weather in September is not cool, after pulling the neckline up, Lin Chen has been too hot all the way, and now is the time to be upset and irritable, I didn't expect Shi Ning to look at him with such naked/naked eyes, as if he was spreading his affairs one by one in public, and the dissatisfaction in his heart was even greater.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen looked at Shi Ning and frowned, and suddenly snorted coldly: "It seems that Brother Shi has gone back more and more since he left me, and this time I am afraid that it is also because the artist in Brother Shi's hands is going to audition, I guess what role it is, is it the third male and the fourth male and the fifth?" Or is it a female three, a female four, a female five? Only those roles, that is, Brother Shi, can be received. ”

Lin Chen's words concealed irony, and he didn't have enough ability to satirize Shi Ning, so he could only receive some small roles with few scenes.

Thinking of his treatment in Shi Ning's hands, Lin Chen was even more angry, even Shao Qian, who was with him, could receive a role similar to the second male, but he could only play some small roles, or the kind of cannon fodder role that only appeared in two or three episodes of a thirty-episode TV series.

With anger in his heart, Lin Chen felt that he had been merciful, he just sarcastically said that Lin Chen could only let the artist in his hand receive the role of male three, four, five, or female three, four, five, and did not directly step on Shi Ning under his feet, in fact, in his opinion, the person who was unfortunately led by Shi Ning could only play the same cannon fodder role as before.

Since agreeing with Director Zhang on the new salary ratio, Lin Chen has not returned to Chi's International in the past few days, and he has spent more time pleasing the new financier, and naturally he doesn't know who Shi Ningxin will take over, but he saw it on the set, and he naturally wants to respond to him.

Shi Ning didn't mind Lin Chen's words, the past few years of getting along made him know Lin Chen very well, it was just a simple irony when they met, he had been Lin Chen's agent for so long, he could endure Lin Chen's bad temper, let alone now.

He was about to speak, but he heard a voice speak before him.

"Isn't this Lin Chen? I didn't expect to run into it here, what a coincidence. ”

Both of them tilted their heads at the same time.

The visitor was wearing a washed white blue shirt, the sleeves were buttoned up, and people's attention couldn't help but focus on his hands, the bones of the two hands were distinct, and every move seemed to have a unique charm, and he couldn't help but want to look at his hands up close, and the two buttons on his chest were not buttoned, revealing a beautiful collarbone, just a glance was enough to make people sink.

The hair is not particularly well groomed, as if it was just washed and simply brushed, and it is a little messy, but it seems to have been created by a professional designer.

The jeans on the lower body are also washed white, but they are very proper on him, as if they are tailor-made brand products.

The shoes are a pair of white sneakers, and it can be seen that they have been rinsed many times, but because they are well stored, they don't look too stained.

From top to bottom, Lin Chen saw all miscellaneous brand goods, but no matter how he looked at it, except for the whitening point, he couldn't see the slightest point that could be attacked, these miscellaneous products seemed to have become well-designed brand goods on the other party, and the close-fitting ones seemed to be specially created for him.

Lin Chen squinted, from the first time he saw the other party, he had a sense of crisis, a familiar sense of crisis, but the person who brought him this feeling before had disappeared from this world.

"It seems that you are the new artist brought by Brother Shi, you must work hard in today's audition, even if it is just cannon fodder with only a few lines, you can't relax, you know, in this circle, not everyone can have good luck like me." Lin Chen tried hard to force a smile, and said to Shao Qian without smiling.

Shao Qian smiled, he didn't expect Lin Chen to be provoked so easily, obviously he didn't do anything.

"I know, thank you, I didn't expect you to be such a good person, and your work is so dedicated, don't worry, I won't relax, it is said that the third male has quite a lot of lines and scenes, and I'm afraid I will need more advice from my 'seniors' when the time comes." He deliberately accentuated the word "senior", also in order to respond to Lin Chen.

When he comes back from rebirth, he will not put himself in danger, and naturally he will not directly let Lin Chen "return one life for another", since he is back, of course he has to play slowly, and he has to have fun.

Sure enough, Lin Chen's pupils shrank as soon as he heard the word "senior", in his heart, his debut for a few years without achievement has always been his reverse scale, and the word "senior" seems to be satirizing his past.

"Humph! Shao Qian, I remember you, you wait for me. Lin Chen brushed his sleeves away, he must let Shao Qian be defeated!

And after Lin Chen left, Shao Qian couldn't help blinking his eyes and looked at the person beside him blankly: "Did I say something wrong?" How did you him off? ”

Shi Ning twitched the corners of his mouth, just now he thought that Shao Qian was doing it on purpose, but at this moment, the inference just now was overturned by himself, too, Shao Qian had never gotten along with Lin Chen, how could he know where Lin Chen's reverse scales were? Probably just a coincidence.

"Lin Chen himself is a very unstable person, you don't have to care, let's prepare first, the audition is about to start."

"Okay, Brother Shi." Shao Qian showed a big smile and brought his youthfulness to the extreme.

Shi Ning patted him on the shoulder, and also showed him a soothing smile, and then turned to arrange the next matters.

What Shi Ning, who turned around, didn't notice was that the smile on the face of the person behind him had fallen, and then the corners of his mouth slowly hooked.
