Rong An, now 25 years old, was a recognized director genius at the domestic film festival. When he was 20 years old, he announced his entry into the showbiz with the youthful film “Bu Ruo”. At the end of the same year, “Bu Ruo” was released, receiving praise from the domestic and international film industry, and a good harvest at the box office.
But unlike other directors, Rong An had always been low-key when he shot a movie. He basically only sent a message before the movie to tell the very good media, saying ‘I am going to shoot a new movie. The actor is XX.’ Then he took the crew into the top secret filming location. He did not say anything about the progress of the filming or content of the filming. Even if a reporter ran in for the interview, he kept silent.

A well-known film critic in China once commented on Rong An, “He is like an old scholar who passed through a feudal era. He is stubborn and anxious about movies. However, the results often surprise us.”
If Li Mo was a well-known film director at a domestic film festival, Rong An was an internationally recognized wizard director.
Jiang Xi had not seen Rong An in her previous life. It was strange that he wore dark sunglasses all year round. All the photos circulating on the Internet were with sunglasses, all kinds of sunglasses of various colors. Although she had never seen the director herself, Jiang Xi had watched “2033”, a movie that was more popular than “Gongzi Qing”. If she could play one of its small roles, Jiang Xi’s fame would greatly increase in the next two years.
The audition for the Film Academy was announced in advance. All college students participating in the interview held a certificate with their own identity, similar to an examination certificate.
By the 500th, most of the people in the auditorium had gone. Some of them failed the interview, and some of them quit because they didn’t know their abilities.
Jiang Xi looked at the few hundred people and automatically moved from the last row to the first row.
She sat in the north corner, Rong An and his assistant sat in the southern corner. Jiang Xi tilted her head to look, only to see an arrogant silhouette with sunglasses.
The figure of a man with sunglasses sitting in burgundy Ferrari involuntarily appeared in the brain.
The two seemed to overlap.
“Come on,” Rong An said, without any hesitation, “Next.”

He held a black pen in his hand. After saying this, he lowered his head and made a stroke somewhere on the paper.
It seemed there is another eliminated.
Jiang Xi looked back and continued to watch the performance seriously.
Compared with the big stars in the circle today, most of the students of the Film Academy were not used to real practice, and the performance was more or less unnatural. You could see that it was deliberately performed with some seriousness, and it was not really integrating yourself with the character.
Jiang Xi watched ten auditions seriously. Only one boy was slightly better, the others were not.
To be sure, Rong An thought so too.
Finally, when there were only six people — including Jiang Xi — left, Rong An only filled two roles, the male No. 4 and the female No. 5 in the movie.
In other words, the actors and actresses were temporarily vacant.
The previous “2033” were all newcomers. Without the old faces that everyone in the circle was familiar with, Jiang Xi was here today to collect the heroine.
She would not pretend that she would play female No. 2.
People, after all, have ambitions.

The last student stepped down, and Rong An called the man and the woman to stay and said, “Follow me.”
The two students smiled with surprise.
At this time, Jiang Xi took off her sunglasses and said, “Director Rong, please wait a moment.”
The people in the auditorium didn’t leave. Jiang Xi shouted so abruptly, everyone else turned his or her head and looked at her silently.
Rong An’s eyebrows moved slightly.
When he was talking just now, Jiang Xi recognized that he was the man asking her for directions. She pouted and smiled, “I want to ask, can I audition for Bai Xin’s play.”
Bai Xin, the number one female in “2033”, was a female academician of the National Academy of Sciences. Her words and deeds were cold. The personality of Ouyang Jing who was lively and lovely in the early stage and middle period of “Gangzi Qing”, and Wen Liang were very different.
Jiang Xi’s initiative to challenge this role no doubt raised the curiosity of everyone.
Why was this big girl confident to challenge this role?
Taking a step back, Rong An sat back in his chair and said, “You try it.”
“Thank you.” Jiang Xi bowed.
When others heard that Rong An asked Jiang Xi to audition, they rushed to the first few rows to sit down.

Although neither of them was selected, acting skills were formed over time, and watching other people’s performances was also a kind of learning.
Jiang Xi stepped onto the stage at this moment.
Rong An’s assistant handed the script to her, pointed to the first act, and said, “You’ll do this.”
“Okay.” Jiang Xi took it, watched it for two minutes, closed it for three minutes, and turned to put the script on the table in the corner of the stage.
When she returned, all the smiles in her eyes had converged.
“I don’t need feelings.” Jiang Xi closed her eyes gently, thinking about the lines in the script, and said “I only need experiments. Do you understand the experiments?”
“Stop.” Rong An interrupted her, “Have you ever made a movie or an advertisement?”
Without a certain acting experience, she couldn’t perform so easily.
“She’s Jiang Xi.” A boy below recognized her and shouted, “She played in Li Mo’s ‘Gongzi Qing’.”
“There are also advertisements with a long and classic feeling.” A girl also echoed.
The auditorium suddenly became loud.
They all thought it was just a student interview, but they didn’t expect that the stars on TV would come to the fun. Suddenly, fans of Jiang Xi among the students began to look for paper and pen for their signatures.

Rong An ignored the atmosphere of the auditorium and said, “I only look for new people in this movie.”
It was for this reason that old faces were not seen in previous films.
Jiang Xi paused and said, “I’m a newcomer.”
Acted in a movie, this was in the entertainment industry, who was not considered “old”.
Rong An doesn’t think so. The reason why he could be called a Wizards Director was not because the director’s film was so simple, but because he treated every process of the movie like cooking, selecting the latest and best materials, adding to the finest flavor.
Didn’t make mistakes in the choice of each link.
From the first film “Bu Ruo” to the second, third, and fourth films, Rong An had followed this principle every time, so every new style attempt ended with success.
Rong An had never lacked fame. What he lacked was a good actor who had not been darkly carved in the entertainment industry.
No doubt, Jiang Xi was no longer suitable.
Rong An could see that Jiang Xi was a good material. The performance she just performed seemed simple, but she expressed all the mentality of Bai Xin on her face.
Every time the facial muscles were slightly affected, it was an inadvertent change in Bai Xin’s psychology.
She was the most suitable person for Bai Xin to meet in half a month.
However, unfortunately, he did not need a half newcomer who was already well-known in the entertainment industry.

Rong An insisted on his point of view and said, “Sorry, I don’t think I need you.”
Jiang Xi was silent for three seconds, and said, “Sorry, I disturbed you today, but Director Rong.”
She stood upright and said, “If you need me to act someday, please let me know.”
“I think you should hear it. I just need a newcomer to play the hero and heroine in my movie.”
