Chapter 287 Zhou Zerui's Background
Upon hearing Director Liang Shenggui's words, Zhou Zerui, who was standing in the middle of the room, couldn't help but look at Jiang Youli.
Jiang Youli became interested and said, "Okay."
She also wanted to know if Zhou Zerui could withstand the test she had given him.
Upon realizing that Jiang Youli was going to give him a test, Zhou Zerui's expression changed, but he remained calm and waited for the test.
Jiang Youli thought for a moment, "In the drama 'The Legend of Chusen,' there is a scene where the villain Jing Mozhi insists that everything he did was to give fair treatment to students from poor families all over the world, and he never thinks he did anything wrong. Let's perform this scene."
"it is good."
After Zhou Zerui finished speaking, he closed his eyes.
After a while, he opened his eyes, and his expression changed.
He became paranoid and obsessive.
He didn't memorize the lines from the novel, but instead made some slight modifications based on his own understanding to make them more suitable for the performer to say.
"I did nothing wrong, I did nothing wrong from beginning to end. I have not forgotten my original intention. What I want to do is to give students from poor families a fair chance to take the imperial examinations!"
"Once I become emperor, I will be the one to decide fairness!"
"Jiang Xiaoye, I thought you could understand me, but in the end, you still chose his side."
"The only one who can take my life is myself, not you."
"You gave me my life, and I don't want you to take it away. I can't let you down."
Finally, the villain Jing Mozhi plunged a dagger into his own heart, slowly collapsed to the ground, closed his eyes, and a lost and helpless smile remained on his lips.
The show is over.
Jiang Youli was completely absorbed in watching.
Uncle Liang is right. Zhou Zerui's performance is truly inspired. He doesn't rely on technique; he gets into character instantly. His outward expression of emotion is infectious.
"He's the one," Jiang Youli said directly. "Director Liang, let's cancel the rest of the auditions."
Liang Shenggui also realized what was happening, "Okay!"
Even the assistant director, who initially thought it was inappropriate to have Zhou Zerui audition, was deeply impressed by Zhou Zerui's performance!
Upon hearing Jiang Youli's words, Zhou Zerui, who was lying on the ground, immediately got up, his eyes filled with hope.
Jiang Youli's purpose in coming here was simple: to specifically observe Zhou Zerui's audition. After confirming that Zhou Zerui had passed the audition, she asked Liang Shenggui, "Uncle Liang, how long will the casting process take?"
After thinking for a moment, Liang Shenggui replied, "Judging from the current progress, it will take at least another two months."
After hearing this, Jiang Youli simply replied, "Okay."
She didn't say much because she knew very well what Feng Entertainment's plan was. In order to make her company's new drama "Legend of Fuyao" be released before its competitor "The Legend of Chusen", Feng Entertainment would definitely save as much time as possible in the remaining casting process.
Jiang Youli secretly plotted that she would take this opportunity to have Ye Ying investigate those celebrities in the entertainment industry who might be involved in scandals, and find a way to get them into the crew of "Legend of Fuyao".
In this way, the film crew will be like a basketball team, full of all sorts of problems and troubles.
Thinking of this, Jiang Youli's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile. Then, she said to Liang Shenggui, "Next, I'll trouble you, Uncle Liang, to continue selecting suitable actors. However, there's no need to rush; after all, quality is the most important thing."
Liang Shenggui naturally understood Jiang Youli's meaning, and he nodded solemnly, "I understand."
Jiang Youli stood up from her seat and left the audition room.
As she passed by Zhou Zerui, their eyes met briefly.
At this moment, Liang Shenggui spoke up: "Zhou Zerui, you must have heard what President Jiang just said. Congratulations, you have been officially hired. Go back and prepare well, and wait for the notification to join the crew and start filming."
Zhou Zerui replied, "Okay, thank you, Director Liang."
After saying that, she turned and left, casually patting some dust off the back of her clothes.
After leaving the room, his gaze fell on Jiang Youli's receding figure.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally made up his mind and strode after Jiang Youli.
Just as Jiang Youli was about to open the car door and get in, Zhou Zerui took a deep breath, mustered his courage, and shouted loudly, "President Jiang, please wait a moment!"
Jiang Youli stopped in her tracks upon hearing the voice, slowly turning around with a hint of doubt in her eyes. "Regarding the filming, you can just ask Director Liang..."
However, Zhou Zerui interrupted her, saying earnestly, "It's not about filming, President Jiang. I heard... you have medical skills, is that true?"
Jiang Youli stared at him, a look of confusion on her face, and asked, "Are you sick?"
As soon as she said it, she realized that her words might be misinterpreted, so she changed her question to, "Are you sick?"
Zhou Zerui shook his head and explained, "It wasn't me, it was my uncle. Starting three years ago, his consciousness has often become blurred, and his memory has been getting worse and worse. Sometimes he can't even recognize me. Moreover, in the past six months, he has been falling into a coma more and more frequently."
He paused for a moment before continuing, "I know it's a bit presumptuous of me to come to see you so suddenly, Mr. Jiang, but I've heard that your medical skills are superb. You even said you could cure Young Master Qi's leg ailment, which doctors all over the country couldn't handle."
After hearing this, Jiang Youli replied with a half-smile, "But my consultation fees aren't cheap."
Zhou Zerui was clearly prepared, and said without hesitation, "I can act in this drama for free!"
However, Jiang Youli was not moved by his words. "You have to understand, acting for free is not a substantial reward for me. After all, how many artists are scrambling to get a role in 'The Legend of Chusen'?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zerui fell silent, seemingly unsure how to respond to Jiang Youli's words.
Seeing his reaction, Jiang Youli smiled and said, "Just kidding. I've been a bit busy lately. When you have some free time, take me to see your uncle and see what's wrong with him. If I can treat him, I'll offer you a consultation fee that you can afford."
Zhou Zerui's disappointed eyes immediately filled with anticipation: "Thank you, President Jiang!"
Once in the car, Jiang Youli watched Zhou Zerui's figure grow smaller and smaller in the rearview mirror, then looked down and reviewed the information about Zhou Zerui that Uncle Liang had given her.
22 is old.
Perhaps because she was recently searching for Qi Huan's younger brother, she paid special attention to the man's age, birthday, and family background.
At this age, he's the same age as Qi Huan's younger brother.
However, their birth dates were off by a month.
Qi Yue is in August.
Zhou Zerui is in September.
However, from certain angles, Zhou Zerui does bear a striking resemblance to Qi Huan.
Could it be that the real Qi Yue is both far away and right before our eyes?
Thinking this, she drove back to the company and went straight to her office, picked up the mouse, and opened the information about Zhou Zerui that Ye Ying had sent her earlier.
According to the information, Zhou Zerui had no parents and only an uncle who collected scrap. According to the uncle's own description to others, he found Zhou Zerui when he went to the garbage can to collect scrap.
The fact that he had neither father nor mother is also highly questionable.
Perhaps she would find out if she met Zhou Zerui's uncle.
