Huayu: I'm being coveted by young actresses.

Chapter 49: My Best Friend's Man, I Love Him Too

Gu Luojin pressed down on the little yellow duck's shoulder and said anxiously, "There's no time! Shout for help! They're already here to catch me!"

The little yellow duck's calm expression seemed out of place with the tense plot; she probably hadn't gotten into character yet.

"No, you're not. I'll turn myself in right now."

Gu Luojin forcefully pulled her back and placed her on the ground, his eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions including pleading, admiration, determination, and tenderness.

"Chen Nian, listen to me, I am nothing. I have no brains, no money, and no future."

"But I love someone, and I want to give her the best ending, you understand?"

"Besides, I'm not an adult yet. We'll meet again after you graduate from university, right?"

Next was a rape scene, but the director didn't call "cut," so he couldn't stop and had to continue acting.

Gu Luojin placed his hands on her shoulders and mimicked tearing clothes, then slapped his own arm, the sound echoing throughout the audition room.

If I hadn't seen that no one was actually hitting anyone, I would have thought they really were.

Gu Luojin felt a sharp pain in her arm, and a clear red handprint instantly appeared.

Thankfully, the director called "Cut!"

Gu Luojin helped the little yellow duck up: "I'm sorry, Teacher Zhou, there were some things that were inappropriate in the performance, please forgive me."

"It's acting, that happens all the time. But it looks like you hurt yourself. Are you alright?"

"Thank you for your concern, it will disappear soon."

The little yellow duck felt a surge of joy at the thought of acting alongside Gu Luojin.

Mainly, Gu Luojin is more handsome than Yi Yangqianxi, and he is more polite. She also noticed that Gu Luojin has a rather well-endowed figure.

"Okay, that was a very good performance."

Zeng Guoxiang didn't expect Gu Luojin's acting skills to be so good, that she had thoroughly understood the character and the script.

He discovered a very talented young actor.

After the three performances, the interviewers were very satisfied with Gu Luojin's acting skills.

Although some parts were handled rather immaturely, the merits outweighed the flaws.

Zeng Guoxiang had already decided in his heart that he wanted him: "Xiao Gu, you have passed my audition requirements."

"We are now inviting you to play the role of Xiao Bei in 'Better Days'. The staff will contact you shortly with the filming time and location."

"Thank you for your recognition, Director Zeng. I will do my best to portray the character well and not let you, the crew, or the audience down."

Gu Luojin breathed a sigh of relief; the huge weight that had been hanging over her heart finally lifted.

Previously, there were concerns that because the upgrade to V3 was not yet in place, it might be unstable and prevent them from taking over the resources of the younger brother.

It now seems that as long as the preparations are done well, top-tier resources can be easily obtained.

From now on, he is only one step away from becoming a new generation of film emperor.

In China, the only actor younger than him who won the Best Actor award was Xia Yu, who was only 16 years old when he starred in "In the Heat of the Sun," for which he won the Best Actor award at the Venice International Film Festival.

He and these young actresses vying for the second female lead role both have bright futures.

Zhou Ye and Zhang Jingyi, who were standing nearby, exclaimed, "Amazing!"

This was the first time Zhou Ye had seen Gu Luojin act live, and the shock it brought her was no less than if she had eaten an ostrich egg.

Zhang Jingyi was also surprised by Gu Luojin's acting skills, which overturned her previous understanding of Gu Luojin.

Is this the ability of the top student who graduated from Beijing Film Academy with excellent grades?

Brother Gu, it turns out that your acting skills were actually the best in the variety show "Back to Field," where you fooled everyone.

"Xiao Gu, please don't leave yet. Stay and act in a scene with the two actresses who are auditioning. Just the first scene."

"Okay, Director Zeng."

He can be lenient with acquaintances, which gives him room to maneuver.

Gu Luojin gave Zhang Jingyi and Zhou Ye a look each, and the two instantly understood. In the end, their acting skills were equally matched.

The director, staff, and Gu Luojin on set all agreed.

Although there are four actresses competing for the role, the second female lead will be chosen between Zhou Ye and Zhang Jingyi.

As for who to choose, that depends on which of the two companies is more willing to give up resources to snatch the role.

After the audition, the three of them left the audition room together.

Similarly, Yi Yangqianxi was also calculating the time from when Gu Luojin entered the room to when she came out, which was a full hour and a half.

His audition ended in just 20 minutes, and the result was obvious.

"Gu Luojin, don't let me catch you doing anything bad in the future, or I'll ruin your reputation."

A white van drove past the two of them, and through the window, Yi Yangqianxi looked out with a murderous glint in his eyes.

Gu Luojin sensed that someone was staring at him from inside the car. When he looked up, the car curtain was lowered.

His gaze couldn't penetrate the curtains to see the people inside the car, but he silently memorized the license plate number.

Now that the audition is over, she doesn't care about any prohibitions anymore. If she doesn't talk to Gu Luojin now, she'll be left behind by Zhou Ye who comes later.

"Brother Gu, congratulations in advance on landing the male lead role, and thank you for letting me off easy."

Hearing this, the agent was relieved. She hadn't been able to enter the audition room and didn't know what had happened inside.

"You still have a chance at the second female lead role. I'm looking forward to seeing you act alongside me."

"See you next time then, I'll treat you to a meal then."

Although she didn't win the role today, the reunion with the other person briefly dispelled her disappointment.

"See you on set then."

She gestured with the phone to remind Gu Luojin to keep in touch with her.

After Zhang Jingyi left in the car, Zhou Ye pouted.

"Brother Gu, congratulations in advance!"

As soon as the person left, Zhou Ye began to imitate Zhang Jingyi's tone of voice.

"Why not learn it in front of others?"

"I'm afraid she'll hit me."

"You're both cowardly and afraid. She's your junior, and you're her senior, so you can't get along peacefully."

"No, everyone says I look like her, but we don't look alike at all. Some netizens even mistook me for her in my videos."

Well, this is just like that pair of sworn enemies from the 85s generation. In the beginning, someone apologized for their mistake, and then the conflict escalated.

"And Brother Gu, I think the way she looks at you isn't innocent."

Unrequited love is a chaotic battle for one person, and he already knew Zhang Jingyi's feelings.

Otherwise, why would she send him beautiful photos from time to time? This can't be just a normal relationship.

Instead of answering, Gu Luojin asked, "And what about you?"

Gu Luojin moved closer to her face, waiting for her answer.

"What about me?"

When they first met, Zhou Ye had a crush on Gu Luojin. As they spent more time together, she gradually learned that Gu Luojin and Meng Ziyi were dating.

She and Meng Ziyi became best friends, so she buried this affection deep in her heart.

After being suddenly teased by Gu Luojin, her body became unnatural.

Especially after learning that her best friend had broken up with the man she used to like, the feelings buried deep in her heart began to stir again.

For some reason, Zhou Ye suddenly became assertive.

"Of course I'll keep an eye on you for Sister Meng, to prevent those vixens outside from bewitching you."

"Your sister Meng and I have already broken up, so what are you monitoring for her?"

"What if you two get back together?"

Zhou Ye couldn't tell whether he was asking on behalf of Meng Ziyi or on behalf of himself.

"I'm not talking about it anymore, and I won't talk about it again. What's the point of dating? A man should focus on his career."

"Brother, what happened to you? Why aren't you dating anymore?"

Is love no longer sweet? Or are the ladies in the entertainment industry no longer attractive? Or has she lost her appeal?

"You don't understand, this is a sign that a man is maturing."

If you give him an AK and a rifle, he can build a large and powerful business.

If you don't want to be in a relationship, what am I supposed to do?

My best friend has already dated the man she likes, while she hasn't dated the man she likes yet, and now it's over.

The vehicles haven't even been put into service yet, but they're already being registered and taken out of service.

"No, you can't think like that. You have to be in a relationship."

It's not that she wants to do anything, but she's the one who doesn't want to talk about it, and she's the one who wants to talk about it.

The old lady walks fast; there must be something strange about it.

"How can an ambitious young person, who dreams of soaring through the streets on New Year's Eve, choose to run away after a failed relationship?"

"The train is moving forward; it doesn't matter where it's going. What matters is the scenery outside the window."

"Men should be more open-minded. Why hang yourself on Sister Meng? You can't find a three-legged toad, but there are plenty of two-legged women."

Zhou Nv Xiaobu?

Are the two definitely best friends, or just superficial friends?

"What are you babbling about? Give me 200 yuan and treat me to hot pot."

"Brother Gu, you're obsessed with money. What do you mean 200?"
