Dreaming With My Dragon Lover

Silence.

The whole room fell completely silent after the powerful performance of these two men.

Yuan Ge got up from the floor, stumbled a little with his hand on his chest, and was held by Arthur Guan's outstretched hand just in time to overcome a slight dizziness - that lame lunch prepared by Chow Mingrun was totally useless!

Yuan Ge smiled gratefully at Arthur, wiped the tears from his face, and his expression returned to normal; it was hard to imagine that only a second ago he was the same fragile, helpless and tearful Commander of the Great Ming. He extended his hand towards Arthur and said graciously, "Master Guan, thank you for your cooperation. I didn't expect you to be such a superb actor and have such good line skills!"

Arthur Guan's chest was heaving and his eyes were teary, obviously having been completely immersed in his role during the performance just now, and it was only when Yuan Ge complimented him that he realised he had forgotten himself. Seeing Yuan Ge's outstretched hand, he gave it a reluctant shake before turning around and marching back to his seat on the interview panel.

Liu Sang hurriedly handed him a handkerchief and proudly bragged to Yuan Ge, "Our second master also studied acting at UCLA when he studied in America. If he didn't love movies, how could he come back to lead the restructuring of Guan's Pictures?"

He Yiru and Wang Xiaowen, who were sitting beside Arthur Guan, looked at Yuan Ge with interest and a noticeably better attitude. .

"We haven't revealed the details of this film to the media yet, so you shouldn't have known the plot of this scene in advance. To be able to write and direct the scene to such an extent and act it out so vividly, you Dragon Dreams really aren't short of talent."

When Yuan Ge returned to the second courtyard, he saw that everyone had finished their auditions, especially Chestnut and Stephen who were absolutely glowing. When they saw Yuan Ge come out, they both pounced on him with gusto and said excitedly, "Director, it looks like we've all passed the final round! King Guan wasn't there in person and it was said that the results would be announced later, but it still feels like we made it!"

Yuan Ge remembered what He Yiru and Wang Xiaowen had said, that there was no shortage of talent at Dragon Dreams Pictures, and it seemed that during the time he and Arthur Guan were doing the director's screen test, the auditions in the other rooms were going on normally, and the two young actors from his own team had performed quite well.

At this moment, Chow Mingrun also trotted over, "Yuan Ge, how did it go? I was worried sick! What took you so long? King Guan didn't give you a hard time, did he? Why are you coughing and your eyes are all red?"

Yuan Ge deliberately put on a deadpan face, "Thanks to your crappy pink T-shirt, the King himself complimented our dress sense and then gave me a good beating!"

"Huh? That bad? No wonder you're limping and coughing. Come, sit down and take a rest!"

Seeing Chow Mingrun's eager face desperate for some inside scoop, he couldn't help but break into a smile and said, "It's been a long day, but it's good to see that we've made some achievements. All three kids are doing well, and if they really wanted an assistant director, I think I might have gotten the job."

"Oh yeah!" Chow Mingrun shouted in delight, "I knew it! How could our Director Yuan Ge have fallen short when he went after a position? I bet you've got the lot at King Guan's group falling all over you. There's no telling how many roles we'll get for this film, even small supporting roles would be good enough."

Just as they were talking, Liu Sang, the chief assistant, walked into the second courtyard, informing everyone that today's auditions were over and the official results would be posted on King Guan Entertainment's company website.

With so many celebrity teams out at the same time, it was quite a hassle to exit the place. Thinking of the countless media outside the gates of the Guan family mansion waiting to dig up juicy gossips from the final round of auditionees to make eye-catching headlines, Yuan Ge had no desire to linger any longer.

"Fat Chow, I'm off now. I've got a demented child at home. I'll leave it to you to share the good news and the audition details with Amélie and Jinghai."

It was already dark, Yuan Ge, fearing that the little loony at home would get into trouble, wrapped his coat around him, walked out of the crowd and hurried back to Yandai Byway.
