"Director Ye, hello."
"Boss Yang, hello."
After Yang Mi and Ye Wei Xin exchanged brief pleasantries and shook hands, Su Han stepped forward.
"Hello, Director Ye."
Upon seeing Su Han, Director Ye's eyes lit up: "You're Su Han?"
"Yes."
"I watched your portrayal of Ni Yongxiao. It was excellent. I truly enjoyed it."
"As a newcomer actor, to deliver such a performance is truly remarkable."
Ye Wei Xin was filled with admiration for Su Han. Seeing this, Yang Mi also felt gratified.
"And that Feng Yuxiu! That was also very well done."
"I quite like you. I feel there's a huge contrast between your acting and your real self."
From the moment they met, Director Ye Wei Xin's praise for Su Han was incessant.
He continued to praise him, one compliment after another.
Su Han was quite pleased to hear it.
Previously, when he went for auditions, most directors didn't seem to think much of him.
Now, with his work out there, he was gaining the favor and appreciation of directors.
It felt as though the role was already his before the audition even began.
Su Han had this strong feeling now.
"Thank you for your kind words, Director Ye."
"Shall we proceed with the audition?"
"Sure."
They got straight to the point.
"This is the audition script. Take a look."
"There aren't many lines. The main focus is on the eyes and such. After this, we'll assess your fight scenes and your martial arts foundation."
"Okay?"
Su Han nodded: "Okay."
Taking the audition script, Su Han quickly scanned it and understood the gist.
This particular scene was about Tony, his brother, and the undercover agent Watson going to move money and prepare to flee.
However, Watson inadvertently revealed his true colors midway, and Tony discovered he was an undercover agent. Tony didn't expose him on the surface but knew it all along, with only a thin veil separating them.
That was roughly the content.
This scene primarily tested Tony's gaze.
Su Han recalled watching this scene and being utterly captivated by Tony's eyes, finding them incredibly intimidating.
Yang Mi found a seat beside Director Ye Wei Xin, preparing to watch Su Han's audition.
The actors who would assist with the scene were in position. Su Han closed his eyes to get into character.
Tony was a role he had spent the most time emulating. It was during this period that he had deeply ingrained the character into his being.
The moment he opened his eyes, he had recaptured the feeling of being Tony.
"Alright, we can begin!"
Watson, Ah Hu, and Tony, carrying the money together, were making their escape.
As they went downstairs, Watson stopped: "Brother Hu, did you lock the door?"
Ah Hu: "Right! I haven't locked it yet."
Watson handed his backpack to Ah Hu: "I'll lock it. You guys get in the car first."
Immediately after, Watson contacted Ma Jun by phone to tip him off.
After making the call, Watson hurriedly returned the way he came and ran downstairs.
As he reached the last step, he looked up and bumped right into Tony, played by Su Han!
Tony stood before him, his gaze radiating a murderous intent.
Just that one look instantly struck a chord with Ye Wei Xin.
Ye Wei Xin felt goosebumps erupt all over him.
He rubbed his arm and murmured to Yang Mi, "That gaze is spot on. It made me feel unnerved, a little scared."
Seeing the director praise Su Han so highly, Yang Mi was also very pleased.
However, she had to admit, Su Han's gaze was indeed striking, and quite terrifying.
With just a look, without a word, it was as if he had already acted out a whole scene.
It was because of this gaze that she understood so much, so many layers of meaning.
"We can go now, Brother Tony," Watson said, sweating profusely with nervousness.
Su Han: "Did you lock it?"
"Yes, I did."
"Cut!"
Director Ye Wei Xin called cut, and the performance stopped.
Director Ye gazed at Su Han with extreme admiration, nodding repeatedly.
"Good!"
"Very good!"
"This is exactly the feeling I wanted."
This guy has a boundless future. That gaze is truly brilliant.
He's the person I'm looking for.
Director Ye thought deeply.
He kept nodding at Su Han.
Su Han's performance deeply resonated with him. He was extremely satisfied and very pleased.
"Next, let's do a fight scene."
"Just do a quick run-through with our martial arts instructor."
Next, Su Han had a brief sparring session with the martial arts instructor.
In this martial arts exchange, Su Han utilized several fighting styles.
He incorporated grappling, savate, judo, Muay Thai, and mixed martial arts, among others.
As Su Han sparred with the martial arts instructor, Director Ye and Yang Mi watched with great enjoyment and satisfaction.
"Boss Yang, Su Han knows so many martial arts moves?"
"His range is quite impressive."
"Finding him is truly like finding a cash cow."
Director Ye exclaimed deeply.
Yang Mi smiled faintly: "You flatter me, Director Ye."
In truth, she hadn't expected Su Han to know so many martial arts techniques. He indeed appeared quite formidable.
Especially during the sparring session, Su Han's composure and confidence added an extra layer to his charm.
It was quite captivating.
"Not bad, truly not bad!"
When Su Han walked over, Director Ye Wei Xin stood up and said with a broad smile.
"You know so many martial arts styles?"
"Yes, I'm alright. I only know the basics, but it's enough for filming."
Su Han was genuinely being modest.
"I think you've got it!"
"The role of Tony is yours!"
Ye Wei Xin was decisive, without further hesitation.
Upon hearing the news, Yang Mi's eyes gleamed, and she exchanged a happy glance with Su Han.
"And here's the script. Take it back and study it carefully."
"We'll start filming in half a month."
"Is half a month enough time?"
"Yes, it's more than enough!"
"Director Ye, that's all for today. We'll have someone discuss the contract details with you another day."
"Yes, alright. You two have a good day."
Ye Wei Xin watched Su Han and Yang Mi leave. Looking at Su Han's retreating back, he couldn't help but nod.
"This new actor is really something."
After leaving the set of "Fuse," and once in the car,
Yang Mi looked at Su Han, her gaze having changed considerably.
This was the first time she had seen Su Han audition, and she hadn't expected his audition to be so brilliant.
Her mind was filled with the image of Su Han sparring with the martial arts instructor.
"If you continue to develop like this, perhaps in the near future, you might truly head towards becoming a Film Emperor."
Yang Mi said with a deep sigh, looking at Su Han.
Hearing this, Su Han smiled: "Not perhaps."
Yang Mi looked at him.
His eyes were resolute: "Definitely."
