Two days later.

Li Dawei from "The Family" responded quickly and asked Jiang Xiao to audition as soon as possible, so he asked Gu Changwei for two days' leave and took the earliest train back to the capital after more than two months' absence.

The moment he walked out of the train station, he felt a little unreal.

Life has indeed changed, and it has taken a completely different path than in his memory. He can't predict what the future will be like, but he will definitely live a better life. He still has this confidence.

In addition, at this moment, Jiang Xiao also thought of his parents and home, and really wanted to go back and visit right away. In his memory, he had caused his family a lot of worries and had to make up for it.

…………

Around 3:30 in the afternoon, in a cafe.

"Who are you?"

After Jiang Xiao stopped writing, he finally realized that in the blind spot of his side view, there was a young man in his thirties standing quietly watching him draw. Subconsciously, he naturally asked about him.

.

"Hello, are you Jiang Xiao? I'm Li Dawei, we made an appointment."

"Oh, it turns out to be Director Li. Hello, hello. I'm a little sorry. I didn't even notice you were here. By the way, please take a seat first."

Hearing that this young man was actually Li Dawei, he was a little surprised. After the young man Jiang Xiao reacted, he quickly stood up to say hello and invited him to sit down.

"No need to say sorry, I saw you were painting seriously, so I didn't bother you."

"Then let me ask one more question. Judging from your sketching skills, have you ever studied art?"

While sitting down politely, Li Dawei asked additional questions about Jiang Xiao.

"I only learned some basic knowledge of painting from my art teacher when I was in junior high school. The rest is self-taught."

Following Jiang Xiao, who sat down again, he didn't hide anything and told the truth directly.

He really wanted to thank his art teacher in junior high school. Seeing that he had a hobby in this area, he sacrificed his rest time to teach him a lot of basic courses. He was definitely a good teacher in China.

"Then you are quite talented. What's more, it's a coincidence that the male protagonist we are auditioning for today is also a painter in the play. From this aspect, I will give you extra points."

"Then have you read the novel "Man Jiang Hong" by Zhang Henshui? "The Pink Family" is adapted from this book."

Li Dawei's words were also full of temptation, because he wanted to know if Jiang Xiao deliberately showed off his painting skills in front of him.

It's normal for an actor to show off his talent, as long as he says it directly, but if he deliberately calculates everything, it's a bit too scheming.

He didn't know if the latter belonged to this category. If so, even if he could draw, he would probably lose a little bit of impression points in his mind.

"I have never read this. I don't like romance novels. Two days ago, I heard Teacher Huang mention that "The Family in Pink" was adapted from the book "Man Jiang Hong". She also asked me to buy it and read it, but for the time being,

It’s not too late yet.”

What Li Dawei said before and after was very obvious, and Jiang Xiao could naturally understand the meaning behind his words.

He didn't think anything about it at all, and he could only say it was a coincidence, because he didn't even know that the character he was auditioning for had an artist's character.

As for why he happened to be painting, it was just because he came straight here after leaving the train station. Even if he had lunch on the way, it was only one o'clock when he arrived at the cafe, which was still far from the agreed three o'clock.

Two hours difference.

In order not to sit idle, there happened to be a stationery store next door, so he bought paper and pens, and then passed the time by drawing.

In an era without smartphones, you had to figure out your own solutions.

I never thought that Li Dawei would misunderstand me now.

However, he did not intend to explain too much, lest he be too deliberate and it would be counterproductive.

If the other party insists on having a bad impression of him because of this, then he is too lazy to cooperate with such a suspicious director, and maybe it will be a problem in the future.

"It's okay if you haven't seen it. Then I'll tell you about the character of Yu Shui Village first, and then we'll talk about other things."

Jiang Xiao's indifferent expression and Si Hao's lack of any nervousness made Li Dawei quite believe what the other party said. It seemed like there was really a misunderstanding.

Maybe it really was a coincidence, and there weren't as many twists and turns as I thought.

If this was all staged, he would definitely be convinced by the other party's acting skills.

To be honest, he felt a little sorry at the moment. From the fact that he invited Jiang Xiao to a place like a coffee shop for an audition, it was clear what his attitude was like.

Originally, he was really doing it to give senior Huang Meiying some face.

But at this moment, Li Dawei quietly had some changes in his heart.

In terms of appearance, this Jiang Xiao is exactly what Huang Meiying said, no worse than Chen Kun, the leading actor in his last drama "The Golden Family".

As for his acting skills, it is still unknown, but the calm look of the other party is really rare considering his age.

Of course, Li Dawei had heard that Jiang Xiao was filming a new movie by Gu Changwei. If he was selected, he wouldn't be far behind.

Inexplicably, there was still something difficult to handle in his heart. He thought it was just going through the motions, but now something unexpected happened.

Because he and the producer had always wanted to find Tong Dawei and Sun Lilai, who had starred in "Jade Goddess of Mercy", to play the male and female protagonists of "The Family", and they did not consider other actors too much.

If he wants to change his mind, he will definitely have to convince the producer of the film.

Fortunately, the producer behind "Pink Family" is state-owned and has no artists to support, so it is not impossible to change the original idea, as long as he, the director, insists.

"Okay Director Li, please tell me."

Jiang Xiao, who didn't know Li Dawei's thoughts, nodded directly, and then acted like he was listening attentively.

…………

On the morning of the third day, Jiang Xiao returned to the crew of "Peacock" and was soon tortured by Zhang Jingchu: "Hey, I heard that you went back to the capital to audition? What was the result?"

"I don't know. I was told to wait for the notification. They said they would give me a notification regardless of whether it passed or not. That's about it."

The leave was requested publicly, and he was not surprised that the news spread, so Jiang Xiao also gave the answer truthfully.

Speaking of which, yesterday Li David first told him about the character Yu Shuicun, the male protagonist of "The Family", and then asked him to use two states of relaxation and depression to interpret the character's characteristics.

After he finished his performance, the two chatted together for more than an hour, focusing on some related topics raised by the other party.

It wasn't until he was about to leave that the other party asked him to go up to the International Television Corporation the next day to try on the makeup mirror, which was very formal.

I didn't tell him the result on the spot afterwards. Just like what he said, he would be notified by phone whether it was successful or not.

Therefore, Jiang Xiao couldn't guess whether he would get the role of Yu Shuicun or not. He really could only wait for notification.

Ask yourself, of course he is confident in his performance.

However, the strength of this circle is indispensable, but it is not really a factor that affects the decision. If it were not the case, the word "hidden g" would not appear.

"Then I wish you good luck, and can you do me a favor? I can't hold it in any longer!"

"Ah? Hold it in...why can't you hold it in?"

When Jiang Xiao heard this, he felt that Zhang Jingchu was suspected of driving, but he had no evidence, so he could only hesitate to ask.

"I have some inner thoughts that are very torturous. I want someone to talk to, is that okay?"

Zhang Jingchu, who was a little annoyed, really wanted to talk to her.

"Uh, um, then I will be a close brother. If you have anything to say, just say it!"
