Chapter 370 No Male Lead (1/2)

Chapter 370 No Male Lead

At noon, on the square under the scorching sun.

The bustling crowd yesterday was also eliminated one by one today. Until now, there are only nine people left on the field. They are carefully selected by the crew under Xiao Mei. They are excellent in both image and acting skills, and there are all kinds of types.

However, even so, Xiao Mei's assistant is still a little uneasy.

In fact, there is no problem with the remaining people being taken out alone, but if they stand together with Han Feng, they still give people a feeling that they are too different.

But these are the best ones picked out. If Xiao Mei really can't accept the assistant, there is nothing she can do. It's impossible for her to create a person out of thin air, right?

At this time, Xiao Yu, who was standing at the edge of the square, also breathed a sigh of relief. Although the square was noisy yesterday afternoon and this morning, there was no trouble after all.

Xiao Yu turned his head and looked at the law enforcement team members next to him.

"Go, keep an eye on those inner courtyard students who failed to be selected, and tell them to go back to the inner courtyard if there is nothing to do, and don't stay here."

"Yes!"

After the team member left, another excited voice came into Xiao Yu's ears.

"Captain, can I go up and fight with them?"

Wu Hao, also known as Blood Sword Wu Hao, is a five-star great fighter, deputy captain of the law enforcement team, Xiao Yu's subordinate, and a pure fighting maniac.

If it weren't for Xiao Yu, the position of captain of the outer courtyard law enforcement team should have belonged to Wu Hao.

As for Xiao Yu, the captain who was pressing on him, Wu Hao had no dissatisfaction at all, and the reason was very simple.

Because she was stronger than him, and much stronger, since he was weaker than Xiao Yu, it was natural for him to be inferior to her, and he didn't feel dissatisfied at all.

"Okay, it's finally quiet here, don't make trouble for me again."

Xiao Yu glared at Wu Hao with her beautiful eyes, and at this time a handsome boy came over and greeted Xiao Yu politely.

"Xiao Yu, long time no see."

"Ah, long time no see."

Xiao Yu responded calmly, looking at the boy in front of him.

Lin Xiuya, the peak of Douling, ranked second on the inner courtyard strength list, is the strongest among the students except for the female Tyrannosaurus that ranked first on the strength list.

When Xiao Yu was in the inner courtyard before, he had some disputes with his subordinates because of some things, and fought with him, the boss, although there was no winner in the end.

Afterwards, Lin Xiuya wanted to make another fight with Xiao Yu, but he never thought that Xiao Yu would directly withdraw from the inner courtyard this year, which made Lin Xiuya very sorry.

Looking back now, it was really terrifying.

Obviously, when Xiao Yu entered the inner courtyard, he only had the strength of a three-star Dou Master, but he was able to fight back and forth with himself, who was a seven-star Dou Master at the time. Although Lin Xiuya knew that Xiao Yu would definitely lose if he continued to fight, he still felt scared.

If Xiao Yu had been at a higher level at that time, the outcome would have been uncertain. Even though his level was still one level higher than Xiao Yu, Lin Xiuya was still unsure.

"Wu Hao, stay there and don't move." Feeling Wu Hao staring at Lin Xiuya and ready to make a move, Xiao Yu whispered to stop him, "Lin Xiuya is at the peak of Douling, how can you, a Dou Shi, fight him?"

Xiao Yu's words seemed to pour a basin of cold water, making Wu Hao instantly wilted.

He is a battle maniac, but he is not brainless. The difference between a five-star Dou Shi and a Douling peak is not a little bit, and there is no possibility of winning.

When Lin Xiuya heard Xiao Yu's words, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

It is indeed fine for others to say this, but it is a bit strange for you, who can jump a level and fight others.

"It's not your turn to say this, Xiao Yu."

A faint and pleasant voice came over, expressing what Lin Xiuya was thinking, and then a girl slowly came to Xiao Yu.

The girl was wearing a cool dress. Although her face was thin, she had a rare beauty. Her skin was as white as snow, her eyebrows were as beautiful as a painting, and her waist-length silver hair made her exude a cold temperament that kept people away.

Han Yue, a six-star Douling, ranked ninth on the inner courtyard strong list, and the only woman on the list. She was also the only friend Xiao Yu made in the short time in the inner courtyard.

Xiao Yu smiled slightly when he saw Han Yue.

"Why are you here too?"

"My cultivation has been stagnant recently, and I wanted to come out to relax. I happened to see the recruitment video yesterday, so I came to see you and try to see if I could be selected." Han Yue smiled slightly and said softly, "I like watching the dramas shot by your sister very much. It would be nice if I could be selected to play a role by chance."

"She is looking for the male lead this time."

Xiao Yu reminded softly, and Han Yue raised the corner of her mouth indifferently.

"Didn't you also play the male lead?"

"Uh"

Xiao Yu was speechless, smiled gently, and looked at the other three people who came from the inner courtyard.

Bai Cheng, Liu Qing, and Lin Yan.

"Forget about Bai Cheng, but why did Liu Qing and Lin Yan come here? Do they also like to watch the dramas shot by my sister?"

Liu Qing and Lin Yan are both in the top ten of the strong list. Both of them are serious and sturdy men. Especially Lin Yan, who has almost always stayed in the training tower. It is impossible for such a person to like watching the dramas between men and women shot by Xiao Mei, right?

For this, Lin Xiuya also gave an explanation.

"Liu Qing was pestered by his cousin to come along, but his cousin failed to be selected, but he was selected. He wanted to leave directly, but his cousin threatened not to let him go, so he stayed." Lin Xiuya paused, and then said: "As for Lin Yan, he didn't come for the male lead, but just to meet that teacher Han Feng."

"Why meet teacher Han Feng? That guy is interested in women?"

Xiao Yu looked strange, and Lin Xiuya waved his hand seriously.

"Absolutely not, he will never be interested in women in his life, but because there is too much fire poison in his body, and he happened to hear from others that teacher Han Feng is a sixth-grade alchemist, so he wanted to come and try to ask if there is a way to remove the fire poison. He was embarrassed to let the other party help in vain, so he thought of using himself to play the male lead in exchange."

"."

After listening to this, Xiao Yu's mouth twitched.

Good guy, others are scrambling to get this male lead, but you treat this thing as a bargaining chip. Only Lin Yan can do this.

As for the remaining four pre-selected candidates, one is Bai Shan and the other is Hu Jia, both of whom are well-known followers of Xun Er in the outer courtyard.

Then there are two more. Xiao Ning and Luo Bu.

Xiao Yu suddenly covered her face with an expression of disdain.

She could guess why these two came to participate in the pre-selection without thinking.

Of course, it was for money. Xiao Mei would not let others work for nothing when filming. After each filming, she would give the participants a very generous remuneration. The more important the role, the more money.

It is obvious that Xiao Ning and Luo Bu have no money to go to the Black Horn Region, so they want to come here to earn some extra money.

Xiao Yu really can't understand it. These two have only known each other for more than half a year, and they had a conflict during the enrollment. How can their relationship be so close now?

Forget it, let them be. I really don't want to care about these two today.

Xiao Yu turned his head and looked at Wu Hao and ordered.

"Wu Hao, you keep an eye on it. If you can handle anything, handle it yourself. If you can't handle it, come to me." After saying that, Xiao Yu looked at Lin Xiuya and Han Yue, "Then you guys go ahead and do your work. I have to go back and rest. There have been too many things to do recently, and I haven't had a good rest."

Xiao Yu waved to the two of them, yawning as he walked towards the dormitory building.

Looking at Xiao Yu's gradually receding figure, Han Yue frowned slightly and glanced at Lin Xiuya with her beautiful eyes.

"What do you think?" "It's uncertain." Lin Xiuya shook his head slightly, with a complex look in his eyes, "Even if I'm a whole level higher than her, I'm not sure I can beat her."

"Really."

Han Yue was not surprised by this answer.

Although Xiao Yu stayed in the inner courtyard for less than two or three months last year, she left a very deep impression on them because of her strength that far exceeded her level.

I really don't know how she trained.

If Xiao Yu had not withdrawn from the inner courtyard last year, Han Yue had no doubt that Xiao Yu could occupy Lin Xiuya's position on the strong list, and even the number one female Tyrannosaurus might not be her opponent.

On the other side, when Xiao Yu returned to the dormitory, he happened to run into Xiao Mei who came out. Seeing the other party's exhausted expression as if she was about to die, Xiao Yu was suddenly startled and almost didn't recognize her at first glance.

"Mei'er? Are you okay?"

"Ah, Sister Xiao Yu." Xiao Mei waved her hand weakly and smiled weakly, "It's okay, I just didn't sleep all night, and I kept thinking about the script."

Although the script was decided, how to shoot it was also a problem. Xiao Mei planned for this for a whole night without closing her eyes. Her energy was almost drained. Mental work is much heavier than physical work, not to mention that she hasn't eaten since yesterday afternoon.

And until now, Xiao Mei still hasn't figured out where the script came from. The only thing that can be confirmed is that the script is definitely not written by herself.

However, for Xiao Mei, as long as there is a script that matches Han Feng, it doesn't matter who wrote it.

"No! We're going to shoot tomorrow, so we have to cheer up!"

Xiao Mei suddenly raised her hand and slapped her cheek hard, causing her face to turn slightly red, forcing herself to cheer up.

"Sister Xiao Yu, I'm leaving first!"

Xiao Mei waved to Xiao Yu and ran towards the direction of the college square. Looking at Xiao Mei's leaving back, Xiao Yu smiled helplessly and turned back to the dormitory.

After a while, Xiao Mei came to the square, and the assistant hurriedly greeted her after seeing Xiao Mei.

"Director Xiao Mei, nine candidates for the male lead have been selected, and you will decide who it will be in the end."

"Ah, thank you for your hard work."

Xiao Mei smiled slightly. Outside of the filming time, she was quite kind to others.

Immediately, Xiao Mei raised her eyebrows slightly, and saw Xiao Ning and Rob among the male lead candidates at a glance, pointing at the two with displeasure.

"Why were those two selected?"

"Uh" the assistant's expression froze, and he scratched his hair in embarrassment, "Their image barely met the standard, and their acting skills are indeed quite outstanding, so..."

The assistant also knew that Xiao Mei had always been very hostile to Xiao Ning, her cousin, and Rob, but she was just doing things according to Xiao Mei's request. After all, Xiao Mei did not specifically ask not to let Xiao Ning and Rob participate.

In this regard, Xiao Mei sighed helplessly.

"Ha, forget it, there is no male lead anyway, so give them a role too. Anyway, they must have come because they are out of money."

"Ah?"

Hearing Xiao Mei's words, the assistant was suddenly stunned.

No? Didn't you invite so many people here just to select the male lead? Why is there no male lead again?

Before the assistant asked, Xiao Mei walked over to the male lead candidates and coughed twice to attract the attention of the nine people.

"Everyone, I am the initiator of this male lead selection and the director of this drama, Xiao Mei."

Director Xiao Mei is quite famous both in the inner and outer courtyards, so there is no need for Xiao Mei to introduce herself. Lin Xiuya and others also recognized her.

"First of all, thank you very much for coming to my male lead selection." Xiao Mei paused and continued: "Secondly, I personally have something very regretful to inform you. There is no male lead in this drama. I am deeply sorry for coming here for the male lead."

After Xiao Mei finished speaking, she bowed her head sincerely to apologize.

Lin Xiuya and others were stunned at first, but didn't say anything. They just came to try it out, not necessarily to be the male lead.

Xiao Ning and Rob are even less important. Not to mention that they don't care whether there is a male lead or not, and other people's opinions may not necessarily end up like this, but if they dare to raise their opinions in front of Xiao Mei, they will definitely be pointed at by Xiao Mei and retorted, and they may even be beaten.

Among all the people, only Bai Shan showed an unhappy look on his face, and stepped forward to question.

"Hey, hey, hey~ We all came to participate in the preliminary selection because you said you were recruiting male leads, but now it's the last minute, and you're saying that the male lead is gone?"

"This is my mistake, please forgive me."

Xiao Mei didn't feel unhappy about Bai Shan's aggressive attitude, after all, she was the one who made the mistake first.

If you do something wrong, you have to admit it, and you have no right to talk back when you are scolded.

Xiao Mei immediately raised her head and said softly.

"Although the male lead is gone, this drama needs a lot of important supporting roles. If you don't mind, I can arrange the corresponding roles for you. I will pay you according to the male lead's standard. What do you think?"

Xiao Yan, who had just arrived at the square with Xun'er, was stunned when he saw Xiao Mei's series of actions.

Is this still his cousin who is domineering in the family?

Xun'er couldn't help but laugh softly when she saw Xiao Yan's expression.

"Mei'er has changed all her bad habits in the past for filming."

In the past six months, the one who has changed the most in the Xiao family should be Xiao Mei.

Xiao Mei would never have done such a sincere apology to others and a proper compensation method.

When the pre-selected candidates heard Xiao Mei's words, Han Yue and Lin Xiuya spoke up, one by one, and said softly.

"As long as I can participate, any role is fine."

"Ditto."

Liu Qing and Lin Yan had no objections. The former was forced to come by his cousin, and the latter's purpose was not to film from the beginning. As long as he could get in touch with Han Feng to ask about the fire poison, it would be fine.

Xiao Ning and Luo Bu had no problem at all. They even showed joy on their faces. They were just here to make money. They originally thought that only one person could be elected. Now both of them were selected, and they were all paid according to the salary of the male lead. They nodded happily without hesitation.

What's more, the food chain is here. Even if they really have any opinions, they dare not express them in front of Xiao Mei.

Although Bai Cheng was a little unhappy, he didn't show it for the sake of face. At the same time, he pulled his cousin Bai Shan and signaled him not to make it too ugly.

Xiao Mei, the director, bowed her head and apologized personally. She was willing to invite them to participate in the performance with the salary of the male lead. If they continued to pester, it would be unreasonable.

"Humph."

Bai Shan snorted lightly and didn't continue to find fault. It was considered as tacit agreement.

"Thank you for your understanding."

Seeing that these people were calmed down, Xiao Mei turned her head and looked at her assistant.

"Prepare everything that needs to be prepared today, don't miss anything, and start shooting tomorrow morning."

"Yes!"
