Early in the morning, Adam got up with fever, today is the important day of casting, he asked Aunt Lucy for some antipyretics and ate two pills. He left without breakfast.
He opened phone, there were several missed calls. When he intended to call it back, the phone rang again.
"Hello, Donnie."
"Adam, where are you?"
"On the bus, with an hour to go, call me in such a hurry, what happened?"
"I'm afraid you'll be late. I have arrived, a lot of people, I sent you the location. Call me when you get here."
"OK."
"There's something wrong with your voice. Didn't you sleep well?"
"Got some cold, nothing serious."
"Hold out for today. It's still early. I'll get you some cold medicine. Remember to call me when you get here."
"Okay, okay, I get it."
Hung up the phone, Adam sat in the last row of the bus, not in a good state, but Donnie Tang's greetings made him feel better.
Donnie is his friend for five or six years. They two drifted here together, lived in the same room, slept in the same bed and shared the same bucket of noodles. They got on well with each other. Until he found his family, Donnie was really happy for him after he knew that.
Although Adam was not quite clear about Donnie's birth, but he knew that Donnie did not have parents, he grows up with grandpa and grandma. After they two died, the relatives thought he was a drag, no one was willing to take care of him, so he also lived a hard life himself.
On the set, Adam made a phone call to find Donnie, Donnie wore a light blue shirt and jeans washed white, carrying a bag in which was a bottle of water and several boxes of medicine.
"Fortunately, the studio is often visited. Supermarkets, pharmacies and so on. Here, cold medicine. The casting has already started. I lined up two numbers, but neither of them is in front. We have to wait. It can come to us in the morning and does not affect the interview in the afternoon."
"Thanks, Donnie."
"Who we are. So polite?"
They looked at each other with a smile, squatting in the corner where is no shine, holding the script to choose the role and read the lines, trying to figure out the characters of role.
"Donnie, in fact your image...if you should be a singer of dancing, you will be popular among the girls, your eyes can hook a person's soul."
"Hahahah, that's what you think. I've been to so many companies and applied for so many resumes. If my image was really good, I would be famous by now."
"Don't give up. You're still young."
"You say this word to make yourself like an old man. Hello, Grandpa Adam."
"Little jerk."
"No. 156, Adam An."
"It's my turn. I went in first."
"Come on!"
Donnie held the fist and cheer Adam up. Adam endured discomfort into the studio casting room.
Director Jack Pei, deputy director Jim Hu, executive producer Allen Feng, leading actor Ben Zhao and leading actress Lily Meng, these five people sat in a row in the room.
"Did you know the background of the show? Which role?"
"Yes, I want to audition for the role of James Szeto, the psychological process and transformation of James's feelings is very attractive to me, I am sure to play him."
"James is a villain in this play, and his love towards the leading actress turns into hate. About his scenes, no more and no less. As you said, this role is very brilliant if played well. I see you have a lot of acting experience in your resume, but they are all small parts. Here we go."
