The test began the moment they stepped into this place.
The audition was just a pretext; this TV series is a historical epic.
Most of the scenes needed to be filmed inside the military base, and the crew also needed to train alongside the soldiers.
The extras this time are all regular soldiers, representing the founding history of the nation, preparing to present a gift for this National Day celebration.
Those who can't endure hardship will be eliminated.
In the communications room, Lu Qianyu and a group of staff members, along with several captains and majors from the military, watched the situation on the training field.
Lu Jingsheng huddled in a corner, silently thankful that he had trained in the military.
Otherwise, his older brother would have ruined them this time. But is it really okay to leave those people outside like this?
Lu Qianyu looked at a certain spot, his eyes filled with satisfaction.
As expected, she is the only one he has always thought highly of; she is the only one suitable for the role of Gu Xici.
This is a period drama about a civilian organization that resisted foreign invasion, protected its homeland, and helped it become a powerful nation.
The history of the founding of the nation was built with blood and corpses.
Each review required countless hours of effort.
How many of those heroes from back then are still remembered today? They used their flesh and blood to build an unbreakable wall for us today.
Those ordinary faces, yet each one possesses extraordinary deeds.
This is a retrospective, but it is also a true history; the main characters in the film are all real people.
The 80th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China is of profound significance.
"Lu Qianyu, what are you waiting for?"
The garrison major of the Eighth Army looked at the screen, frowned, and asked Lu Qianyu in an unfriendly tone.
That damn guy, he didn't even tell his little sister he was coming too.
Otherwise, why would he let his little sister stay down there in the sun, suffering like this?
Lu Qianyu turned her head and looked at the man who was speaking. He was very handsome, with deep features and a strong physique.
Especially his wild, beast-like eyes, which shone brightly and sharply against his bronze skin.
He exuded an aura of untamed arrogance.
"Zhengmao, I know you feel sorry for Mimi, but this is something she has to go through."
"Otherwise, she won't be able to handle the rest of the filming, you know?"
How could he not feel sorry for her? He loved Mimi the most.
Although Mimi seems to have forgotten me, I'm heartbroken.
No, when filming starts, I have to cry to Mimi that I completely forgot about him.
Ni Zhengmao looked at Lu Qianyu with disdain: "Are you stupid? My little sister comes from the Ni family."
"This is no challenge for her; she's been trained by her family since she was a child."
Even though my younger sister was well protected by them, they still didn't relax their strictness when necessary.
She underwent special training from the age of eight until she was thirteen, and it was at that age that she met that bastard.
If I had known that bastard would steal my little sister away, I should have let her train for another year.
He's been annoyed ever since he received a call from Feng Hua a couple of days ago.
Lu Qianyu touched his nose somewhat awkwardly. Could he say that he had forgotten?
Okay, that's about it anyway.
He already knew who could stay and who couldn't.
If they can persevere through the next month of intensive training, they can officially begin filming a month later.
He led the group out of the communications room and headed towards the training ground outside.
Ni Zhengmao quickly ran off to get water for his younger sister.
On such a hot day, after being outside for almost an hour, I would be very dehydrated even if I didn't get heatstroke.
Those who were still cursing immediately shut up when they saw a dozen or so men in military uniforms appear.
His facial expression also became more composed, and he no longer showed any trace of his previous extremely nasty demeanor.
Lu Qianyu stood in the middle and glanced at everyone.
He raised his eyelids slightly and spoke in a neither loud nor soft tone.
"You now have two choices: leave or stay."
Give me an answer within two minutes. If no one leaves within two minutes, then I will assume that you have all chosen to stay.
A captain standing nearby immediately took out a stopwatch and started timing.
The female celebrities who had been complaining about each other were now looking at each other in bewilderment.
There was hesitation and struggle on his face.
Those who are able to come here are all considered to have considerable reputation and ability.
Whether or not they participate in this TV series is not a big issue for them.
However, the impact was enormous because the show was approved by the state and aired during prime time on various channels.
Having participated in a national performance is a significant step in enhancing one's prestige.
Two minutes passed quickly; the same number of people were there when they arrived.
The search remained steadfastly perched on the tree throughout, without uttering a sound or shifting its gaze.
She was already mentally processing what she needed her second brother to send her later.
It looks like they're staying here tonight.
Sure enough, Lu Qianyu then revealed his plan.
"You can rest today. The instructors will take you to your dormitories later."
"You can have someone send you the necessities; we provide daily necessities and training clothes here."
"We will be undergoing intensive training here for the next month."
"Those who can endure the special training will stay; those who can't, I can only say sorry."
"I'm sure you all know better than I do what we're filming this time, and you can also assess its value."
That's all I have to say. Now you're all free to do as you please.
If you've come this far and still don't know how to think long-term, then you've truly wasted your life.
Lu Qianyu ignored those who wanted to come up and talk to him, and walked straight towards the people under the tree.
Xunmi felt that the vision in front of him had become a little darker, and opened his eyes in confusion.
A handsome man with medium-length hair was standing in front of her with a smile. She blinked, a look of confusion flashing across her face.
She doesn't seem to recognize him; he doesn't seem to exist in the original owner's memories either.
"MiMi, you heartless bastard, you've really forgotten me."
Lu Qianyu's smile froze, his eyes filled with the look of "you heartless man," as he stared intently at Xunmi.
Xunmi was even more stunned, her mind filled with incomprehension.
"Um, Director Lu, have we met before?"
After some deliberation, I tentatively inquired.
Oh dear, she really couldn't remember. She had gone through all of the original owner's memories, but still couldn't find them.
Lu Qianyu nodded indignantly, "I even held you when you were little."
"You smiled at me so cutely, and you even said you'd marry me when you grow up."
Holy crap, right now I'm imagining a million alpacas running from east to west and then returning the same way.
That's definitely not what she said. You rascal, original owner, when did you get yourself into such a mess?
"Lu Qianyu, you bastard, you're bullying your little sister again."
When Ni Zhengmao returned with the water, he saw his younger sister looking astonished.
