Chapter 499 What are you doing?
The first audition went smoothly and ended at eight o'clock in the evening.

I took a half-hour break in the evening, had some lunch, and then continued the audition.

There are eight main audition roles this time, all of which are characters surrounding the three family members in the novel.

Either the parents or the children.

Therefore, there was a big age difference among the actors who came to audition.

People like Ruan Lin are only seventeen years old, not yet an adult, and are in their second year of high school.

The oldest one, who was fifty-one years old, auditioned for the role of the father of one of the families.

To be honest, although Li Luo had filmed short dramas in his previous life, he had never held a formal audition like this.

Actors in short plays are basically recommended by acquaintances or through other means. After getting to know each other, they meet offline to get a feel for each other.

This was Li Luo’s first time experiencing an audition for a formal TV drama, and it was quite novel.

Li Luo watched with great interest as he watched the actors enter the role in just a few seconds. There was no scene, no co-star, and no costumes. They just spoke the lines out of thin air.

Some of the actors who auditioned for the role of parents were already quite old and their acting skills were truly outstanding.

Li Luo originally preferred to pick some emotionally intense clips for them to try during the audition.

But later Li Luo changed his mind and specifically looked for some very plain and ordinary paragraphs, and then he discovered some very interesting phenomena.

Some actors can easily perform that feeling in emotionally intense scenes, but when it comes to relatively dull scenes, it lacks some meaning.

Some actors with very experienced acting skills were clearly there smiling and saying hello to teachers one second ago, and seemed to have become a different person the next second. It seemed that they were no longer the person who greeted them with a smile, but had really become the characters in the play, as if they were possessed by a soul.

It's amazing.

"Can a few of the candidates be preliminarily finalized?" After the audition, producer Zhang Ruiwen looked at the list of actors who auditioned today and asked others.

"Well, let's go to the conference room and check it." Wang Jun made a lot of circles and crosses on the list in his hand and nodded.

So Li Luo and others returned to the previous meeting room, had a brief discussion, and decided on a few candidates for actors.

"There will be another audition at the end of the month." Wang Jun said, "One is to fill in the gaps, and the other is to fill in some unimportant supporting roles. In fact, the leading actors we have today have almost been finalized."

"I will organize a dinner party at the end of the month, and our creative team and the leading actors can have a meal and get to know each other first."

“Once the location and the sound stage are in place, around early August, we will be almost ready to start filming.”

"Director Wang." Li Luo waited for Wang Jun to finish speaking before adding, "Can I tell you about my request?"

"You say." Wang Jun raised his eyebrows.

"A small request." Li Luo pinched his thumb and index finger together and said to Wang Jun, "I have already revised the script, but I still hope that at least our leading actors can read the original content of "Little Joy" before the show starts."

"Okay." Wang Jun smiled, "That's no problem. I'll explain it."

……

There are many things a film crew needs to prepare, but Li Luo, as a screenwriter, has already completed his job early on.

After reading the script, Wang Jun only proposed some changes in details. He discussed with Li Luo and made some revisions. The communication was quite harmonious.

As time passed, it was gradually approaching the end of May, and Xu Youyu's college entrance examination was getting closer and closer.

"There are still two weeks until the college entrance examination."

In the master bedroom of Bi Hai Lan Ting 1502, Li Luo was sitting at the desk typing. When he took a break, he turned his head to look at Xu Youyu who was lying on his bed and browsing his phone.

"What do you think now, Sister Yu? Are you nervous?"

"Nervous as hell." Xu Youyu sighed and shook his feet. "I wish the exam would be over right now, so I can be free!"

"Do your classmates know that you know that they know that you are writing a novel?" Li Luo laughed and teased.

"What kind of tongue twister are you playing?" Xu Youyu turned over in bed and kicked him angrily, "I'm annoyed just talking about this. It would be better if I didn't know about this in the first place. Now when I stay in the classroom, I feel like they look at me weirdly."

"Why not just come clean?" Li Luo suggested friendly.

"Get lost!" Xu Youyu snorted, "I just want to finish the college entrance examination quickly, and then I can get rid of you completely!"

"There's still the graduation ceremony." Li Luo kindly reminded, "Sister Yu may be an outstanding graduate by then and will have to give a speech on stage. You can also promote your "Literary Age" at the same time."

"You want a fight, huh?" Upon hearing this, Xu Youyu jumped up from the bed, viciously straddled Li Luo's thighs, and tightly grasped Li Luo's neck with both hands, "Be careful, you might die in bed one day."

Li Luo smiled and hugged Xu Youyu's slender waist, feeling the hands pinching her neck without feeling uncomfortable, and the elasticity pressing slightly against her chest, and then suddenly said, "Sister Youyu."

"Hmm?" Xu Youyu untied his hands and looked down at him in confusion, "What are you going to say to irritate me again?"

"That's not the case." Li Luo held her waist a little tighter. "You will take the college entrance examination this year on June 6th. That day happens to be your birthday, right?"

"Yes." Xu Youyu nodded happily. "After the college entrance examination, I will celebrate my birthday! Let's make it a big deal! It just so happens that that day falls on a Saturday."

"After her birthday, Sister Youyu will be 18 years old, right?"

"Hmm~" Xu Youyu looked down at Li Luo and suddenly grinned, "What do you want to do? You suddenly bring this up."

"Nothing." Li Luo coughed. "At 18, I'm an adult, and I'll be a college student soon. I feel different all of a sudden."

In her previous life, when Xu Youyu was still a female college student, Li Luo didn’t know her. It was not until some time after graduation that the two met online.

Therefore, Li Luo's image of Xu Youyu in her previous life has always remained that of an urban beauty, independent and strong, with a strong temperament and energy.

But now, Xu Youyu will soon be a female college student.

And she is a freshman who is just about to enter the university campus.

Although for him now, he should call her senior.

But the feeling is indeed different, and it is easy to make people have some fantasies.

"Ah..." Xu Youyu sighed when Li Luo mentioned that he was going to college. "I'm going to college alone, and the three of you are still in high school. I really wish time would go faster, so that I can jump directly to the time when you go to college."

"It's not like we won't see each other anymore because we're in college. You'll still come back to stay at night, right?"

"How can it be the same?" Xu Youyu rolled his eyes at him. "Besides, you still have to live in the dormitory when you first enter school. You can only apply to move out after the military training."

"Military training has only been a few days."

"So you won't miss me then?" Xu Youyu blinked, looking a little pitiful, pouting and looking at him eagerly.

Li Luo couldn't stand Xu Youyu's attack and quickly raised his hands to beg for mercy: "I didn't mean that."

"I think that's what you mean." Xu Youyu sighed sadly, put his hands on Li Luo's chest, lowered his eyebrows and said aggrievedly, "I have two younger sisters at home, and I am old, so naturally I can't catch Mr. Li's eye."

"…Which book is this setting from?"

"Hmph, stinky man."

Just as Xu Youyu finished speaking, he felt his head being pressed hard on the back, and the next second, his mouth was blocked.

His body gradually softened, and after a few minutes, Xu Youyu leaned on Li Luo's chest, panting, with a smile on his lips.

"The filming of 'Little Joy' will start in August." Li Luo said in Xu Youyu's ear, "I should be able to apply to my class teacher to be able to enter and leave school as needed, which will make it convenient for me to join the crew." "So?" Xu Youyu asked in a low voice.

"By the way, you can go to Qianjiang University to check out Sister Youyu's college life."

"That's what you said." Xu Youyu couldn't hold back the smile on his face anymore, so he buried his head even harder into his chest.

"Speaking of which, after I lost our previous bet, what punishment were you going to give me?" Li Luo thought of this and couldn't help asking.

"It's only a few months away, why are you in such a hurry?" Xu Youyu laughed when he was reminded, "If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten it."

Li Luo: "...If I don't mention this matter from now on, can you forget about it in a few months?"

"That's of course impossible." Xu Youyu hummed, "Anyway, I won't make it too difficult for you~ It's very simple."

……

The next day, another Saturday.

The second audition for "Little Joy" was in the afternoon.

This time, because the college entrance examination was approaching, the senior high school students were required to stay in school in the afternoon to fill in the gaps.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Ying Chanxi had to deal with some things at the Student Union.

There was nothing to do in the Rock Club, so Yan Zhusheng told Ying Chanxi who was going to the Student Union in the classroom that she was going to the Rock Club. But in fact, after Li Luo sent her to the library, she happily followed Li Luo.

"What are you doing?"

"I'll go to the audition with you." Yan Zhusheng blinked and said honestly.

"Didn't you just tell Xixi that you wanted to join the rock club?"

"I suddenly feel there's no need to go." Yan Zhusheng said seriously, "We will quit the club next semester. I think the first-year members of our rock club need to get used to the absence of seniors in advance."

"Then you are quite far-sighted."

"Yeah, I think so too."

"I'm flattering you, and you still accept it?"

Yan Zhusheng didn't respond. As soon as they walked out of the school gate, he hugged Li Luo's arm.

As a result, Li Luo stood still at the intersection, which made Yan Zhusheng a little confused: "How are we going to get there?"

"My uncle said he would take me there," Li Luo said, "He will drive here."

"Oh." Yan Zhusheng nodded obediently.

As a result, after a while, the black Audi that Lin Xiufeng had bought just a few months ago slowly stopped in front of Li Luo, but after rolling down the window, another person was sitting in the driver's seat.

"Senior Jian?!" Li Luo looked at Jian Chun in the driver's seat with a surprised look on his face, and fell into deep thought for a moment, "Why are you driving the car? Where is my uncle?"

"Uh..." Jian Chun was also a little embarrassed. He held the steering wheel with both hands, with a cautious expression on his face, "He accidentally sprained his ankle and can't drive, so he asked me to take you there on his behalf."

"Does Senior Jane have a driver's license?"

"I still have this." Jian Chun tried to act like an experienced person, "I passed the exam when I was a freshman."

"When was the last time you actually drove a car?" Li Luo asked again.

"Hmm..." Jian Chun felt a little guilty, thinking of certain scenes in the past month. After looking away, he muttered softly, "I drove my dad's car during the Chinese New Year."

Li Luo sighed, then smiled, opened the door and let Yan Zhusheng get in, then he sat in the back seat: "Then I'll trouble you, Senior Jian, please drive as slowly as possible."

"Well, don't worry, I'm very stable."

……

At 1:30 in the afternoon, Jian Chun successfully sent Li Luo to the gate of Huayue Film and Television Company.

"Shall I take you back tonight?"

"No, no, Senior Sister Jian, you can just go back and be careful on the road." Li Luo said, "I have a dinner party tonight, so I won't keep you waiting."

"Oh, then I'll go back first."

"See you."

After seeing Jian Chun off, Li Luo stood by the road, looking at the rear of the Audi going away, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"What's wrong?" Yan Zhusheng asked curiously when he saw that he looked thoughtful.

"Do you think anyone would lend their wife to someone else?" Li Luo asked.

"Are you talking about the fact that your uncle asked Senior Sister Jian to send you off?" Yan Zhusheng blinked, not quite understanding, "Senior Sister Jian is your uncle's wife?"

"I'm talking about the car." Li Luo pointed at the Audi that was gradually disappearing on the street corner. "He saved up money for so long to buy a new car, but he actually let a novice driver take the highway."

"This new car looks like his wife, but he actually lent it to someone else to drive."

"What does this mean?"

"That means..." Yan Zhusheng fell into thought, then said, "He found a new wife?"

Li Luo: "…The words are rough but the truth is true."

Something's happening, Lin Xiufeng.

Li Luo smiled, took out his cell phone from his pocket and called his uncle.

"Hello?" Lin Xiufeng's voice came from the other end, "Did Jian Chun deliver it to you?"

"We're here." Li Luo said, "I heard that your arm was injured and you can't drive? Are you okay?"

"Ah... yes, I accidentally hurt my arm." Lin Xiufeng coughed twice and said incoherently, "Jian Chun's driving skills are not bad, right? I sent it to you."

"Yeah, that's fine." Li Luo nodded, "So can I receive your wedding invitation this year?"

Lin Xiufeng: “???”

"What do you mean?"

"What Senior Sister Jian told me was that you sprained your ankle, not your arm."

Lin Xiufeng: “…”

"Li Luo, please listen to my explanation."

"There's nothing to explain. This is a great thing."

"It's not what you think!" Lin Xiufeng said anxiously, "Don't tell anyone about it! When we were chatting, we talked about how she drove her father's car into a haystack during the Chinese New Year, so I joked that I could let her practice driving or something, so..."

"Alright, alright." Li Luo interrupted quickly, "Let's not go into the details of the flirting. I'm busy this afternoon. I'm hanging up now. Let's talk again!"

"Hey! Don't hang up! I haven't finished yet!"
