“You must be Song Qianming?” Second miss Qian walked up to him and asked.

“Yes.” Song Qianming nodded.

“Grandfather has already told me about your audition. Come in with me.”

“Thank you, Miss Qian.”

Seeing Miss Qian call out Song Qianming’s name and even saying that it was elder Qian who told her about it, the man’s face turned pale, and his eyes revealed his panic. However, no one paid him any attention at this time.

“Are you here for the audition for Chen Zeshu?” Second miss Qian tilted her head and looked at him.

“Yes, I am.” He smiled and nodded again.

“You look pretty good. Are you new?” second miss Qian sized him up.

“No, I’ve been in the industry for over four years.”

“Four years?” Second miss Qian looked at him in surprise. “You’re so good-looking. Why haven’t you made it even after four years? That shouldn’t be the case!”

“Perhaps I’m not good enough.”

“That’s impossible.” Second miss Qian shook her head. “Those who can be recommended by grandma He can’t be weak.”

“Then my luck is bad.” Song Qianming found another excuse.

“Why do I feel like you’re just patronizing me?” second miss Qian was unhappy.

Song Qianming laughed. “Since it’s not a matter of strength or luck, what do you think is the reason why I’m not famous yet?”

“How should I know? But don’t worry, as long as you successfully audition for my grandfather’s movie, you’ll be famous sooner or later,” second miss Qian said proudly.

Sure enough, confident women were the most eye-catching. This Miss Qian looked like someone who had been pampered since she was young. It was great. Girls should live so freely. In the future, he would also give Youhuan the capital to live so freely.

“I hope elder Qian will take a fancy to me.”

Miss Qian didn’t dare to make any guarantees. “Anyway, you have to work hard later. You still have Qi Yang and Liu Shi as your competitors. You know both of them, right? They have more acting experience and popularity than you, so you have to work hard.”

“I’ll definitely try my best,” Song Qianming said firmly.

His original appearance wasn’t bad to begin with. His facial features were very handsome, and there were almost no shortcomings in his features and face shape. In addition, he was 1.85 meters tall, so he was definitely an eye-catching existence in a crowd.

And since the young prince had travelled to this time period, his temperament had undergone a great change. His confident and calm expression made second miss Qian look at him a few more times.

She thought to herself that the netizens’ aesthetic standards were getting more and more incomprehensible. Why didn’t a person with such a figure and appearance become popular in the past four years?

“This is the place. The other two haven’t arrived yet, so I’ll have to trouble you to wait for a moment.”

“It’s okay, it’s no trouble at all. I should be the one thanking elder Qian for giving me this opportunity.”

Second miss Qian didn’t say any more formalities. She asked someone to bring him a bottle of water and walked out.

“How was he?” Elder Qian asked her as he flipped through the script.

“He’s very handsome,” Second miss Qian gave an affirmative answer.

Elder Qian closed the script and smiled. “It’s rare to find a male star that you can praise so sincerely.”

Second Miss Qian snorted. “It’s because of the people that the companies are trying to push into the industry to make money. They don’t even look at their own faces and insist on acting as those handsome young masters. Their makeup is so thick that it can be directly boiled into paste if it’s shaved off. They also have to find a specific angle to shoot every single time. Otherwise, they’ll be so ugly that any supporting character can beat them in a second. How can I not despise them?”

“You’re right, but no matter which industry it is, there’s always a mix of good and bad.” Elder Qian had a very open-minded look.

“But they don’t even dare to show their true faces in front of the audience. They’re using their edited photos to boost their popularity every day. Aren’t they lying?”

“Real beauties and handsome men can stand the test. The liars won’t be praised for too long. Moreover, after more and more of these things happen, the audience will become more rational. In the future, there will be fewer of these cases. After all, no one’s money can afford to be burned like this. When the time comes, they will be scolded before they become famous. Who knows, they might not want to continue in this industry.”

“I just can’t stand it. Some of the resources are clearly good, but they’re being wasted by them. They’re even dragging down other actors.”

“You’re still too young.” Elder Qian didn’t want to explain too much. He had experienced enough to have a balance in his heart.

“Grandpa, you only know how to use this excuse to brush me off. I won’t talk to you anymore, hmph.”

Elder Qian looked at her dotingly and said, “Since you value Song Qianming so much, I’ll go and see how he performs.”

“We’re not waiting for the other two?”

“If they are still not here after I’m done with Song Qianming’s audition, it means that they don’t care about the movie. Send these two pages to him, I’ll give him ten minutes to understand.”

“Yes, Grandpa.”

Song Qianming did not expect it to happen so quickly, but he did not panic in the face of danger. He picked up the script and read it carefully.

Before, teacher He had only told him that this was a Chinese period drama and that the role he was auditioning for was the male lead’s brother. After getting these two pages of the script, the character gradually became clear in his mind.

Chen Zeshu was the second brother of Chen Zeyu, the male protagonist. They had an elder brother who joined the government army and was killed by the Japan. Since then, their family had taken them seriously and forbade them from participating in all activities.

In contrast to the clever and disobedient male protagonist who was the third son, the second son, who he was going to play, was a very filial son. He also believed that in such a chaotic era, they should do their best to protect themselves. After all, it did not matter if they were one more or one less member in the Progressive Party. Why should they take the risk of worrying their family?

As a result, he often stopped the male protagonist from attending those activities, and their relationship became very stiff.

Song Qianming had to audition with the part where he argued with the male lead and refused to let the male lead out of the house. From the script, he looked like a stubborn and inflexible second brother, but Song Qianming didn’t think so.

There were three sons in the family. The eldest and the third were both worked hard for the country and they all received the same education. Was the second son a person who feared death?

Song Qianming did not think so. He thought that Chen Zeshu was suppressing himself. He wanted to serve the country like his brothers. It was just that his family of old and weak women and children made him have more scruples.

Therefore, the dispute between Chen Zeshu and Chen Zeyu should not be simple anger and confusion, but depression and worry.

The expression of such emotions had to be very subtle. If it was too forceful, it would ruin the classic scene. If it was not expressed enough, it would not achieve the desired effect.

Song Qianming mulled it over and could not help but think of his previous life. In his previous life, his royal brother was assassinated, and he wanted to risk his life to draw the enemy away for his royal brother. What did the people around him do then?
