“???” Zhou Mei’s words made Bai Wei look like he had a black question mark on his face.

"Did you get your head caught in the door?"

"Your head was caught in the door!" Zhou Mei retorted subconsciously.

"Then what nonsense are you talking about?" Bai Wei curled his lips and said, "It's good for people to have dreams, but daydreaming is unnecessary."

"No!" Zhou Mei realized that what she had just said was a bit ambiguous. She looked embarrassed and quickly explained.

"When I say look good, I mean the kind that looks good in a role, not what you think!"

Bai Wei suddenly realized and breathed a sigh of relief, then said unhappily: "That's a good thing, why do you look so constipated?"

"You're still talking about someone having a unique taste, who wouldn't misunderstand me?"

Zhou Mei chuckled and was about to say something, but suddenly she looked around like a thief, and after making sure that no one was paying attention to her, she excitedly whispered, "Really, I felt really good about the audition just now!"

"Ye Zhiqiu asked me several questions and asked me to perform three scenes. I can feel that he should be satisfied with me. Maybe it will work this time!"

"That's great." As a friend, Bai Wei was happy for her. "Did the other party say when the results would be released?"

"No." Zhou Mei shook her head. "They told me to go back and wait for a call. They said they would notify me if I was selected."

Bai Wei nodded. This was normal. If the crew thought an actor was suitable, they would keep him as a candidate. They usually would not confirm him on the spot and would see if there were more suitable actors later.

But anyway, we've made a good start.

Soon, the staff called my number.

With Zhou Mei's encouragement, Bai Wei followed the instructions and walked towards the audition room.

After waiting for a while in the second waiting room, I heard a young voice shouting "Next".

Bai Wei took a deep breath, opened the door and walked in.

After entering the room, he felt that three pairs of eyes were looking at him. He looked up and saw three people, two men and one woman, sitting in front of him in the simply decorated audition room.

In the middle was a young man who was too handsome and looked more like an idol than a crew member. Bai Wei was very familiar with his appearance. His name was Ye Zhiqiu, and he was also the director of the film crew who was interviewing today.

After Bai Wei entered the room, Ye Zhiqiu's eyes lit up slightly, and then his gaze never left him.

Bai Wei is about thirty-five or thirty-six years old. Unlike the male stars who take good care of themselves and strictly control their body shape, he is more like a middle-aged man. He is a little fat, and his skin is whiter, probably because he stays indoors for a long time. From his facial features, it can be vaguely seen that he must have been a handsome guy when he was young.

In terms of image, the other party is more in line with my requirements for the role of "Charlotte".

After all, although Shen Teng had the image of a "greasy middle-aged man" when he starred in this movie in his previous life, he had a handsome face and regular features when he was young, and was said to be a "school idol" level.

When the audition begins, the crew will get the actors' information in advance, so there will be no self-introduction session.

Ye Zhiqiu took a look at the information in his hand and asked in surprise.

"Are you also an actor in the 'Happy Popcorn' troupe?"

"Correct."

"There was a girl named Zhou Mei just now. Do you know her?"

Bai Wei was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I know him."

"She is my partner. We usually go on stage together in the troupe. We have been working together for three years."

Ye Zhiqiu nodded, did not continue with this topic, and asked another question instead.

"Can you sing?"

"A little bit." Bai Wei said subconsciously.

"Can you sing a piece, something more lyrical?"

"Ah?" Bai Wei was dumbfounded, not understanding what Ye Zhiqiu was up to.

I'm interviewing an actor, right?

But since the director had spoken, he didn't say much. He looked around and found a guitar next to the room. It seemed that this was not Ye Zhiqiu's sudden idea, but one of the planned audition contents.

"Excuse me, can I borrow it?" Bai Wei was not shy. He took the guitar and started singing a song on the spot.

In the plot, music is an element that runs through the main storyline. The protagonist Charlotte has many scenes of playing and singing. It would be better if the actor can sing.

Although Bai Wei's performance was not as good as that of a professional singer, it was obvious that he could play music and his level was pretty good. Ye Zhiqiu nodded slightly, feeling that he was getting closer to the image in Li's mind.

"Okay, thank you." Ye Zhiqiu stopped and continued, "In the second paragraph, suppose you are a reborn person, who returns to high school and catches up with the school beauty who was your dream girl."

"At this time, you met your future wife. She was not pretty or gentle, but she was devoted to you and gave everything for the family. She was your wife through thick and thin, and you felt guilty about her deep in your heart."

"Please act out this scene based on the situation described above."

Bai Wei quickly digested what Ye Zhiqiu had just said in his mind. It was obvious to him that it was most likely part of the plot of a movie.

Rebirth? Campus? Young love?

I'm almost 40, can I still play a high school student? But for comedy, logic is not that important...

As his mind raced, Bai Wei had already sketched out the scene in his mind and figured out how to act it out.

"Okay." After more than ten seconds, Bai Wei had built up his emotions and started acting right away.

This scene was not complicated. Bai Wei's many years of experience in stage plays had honed his basic skills well, so it was naturally not difficult for him to handle it.

On the other side, Ye Zhiqiu nodded secretly, and was 90% sure in his heart.

"Okay, thank you." Ye Zhiqiu interrupted and was about to end, but after thinking for a while, he suddenly said.

"For the last part, can you act out a fight in which you confront an opponent who is stronger than you, and then you shamelessly challenge him and loudly shout 'Come here'?"

“???” Bai Wei was stunned and remembered the voice he had just heard outside. It seemed that he encountered the same situation as the other party.

Although he didn't know what Ye Zhiqiu was up to, Bai Wei was very professional and took two seconds to think about it.

Then, he stood up straight facing Ye Zhiqiu, with his chest puffed out, one hand clenched into a fist behind his back, and the other hand spread out into a palm facing forward, assuming a stance.

Then, he retracted his front palm, leaving only one index finger, hooked it at Ye Zhiqiu, and then shouted in a strong voice.

"Come here!!!"

"......" In the previous life, this was a classic scene from "The Shameful Iron Fist", another very successful comedy by the "Happy Twist" team, in which a "martial arts master" and Charlotte were the same actor.

Originally, Ye Zhiqiu hadn't thought that far, but he just met a big guy who was the perfect choice to play "Dashachun". Maybe one day he could put this work on the screen.

However, what is certain is that the actor for "Charlotte" has been found.

Ye Zhiqiu put a check mark next to the name "Bai Wei" in his hand.
