When Lu Yanhe came back, some people had already started auditioning.
Because there were so many people, we went to the audition in groups of five.
As soon as he came back, Li Zhibai whispered in his ear, "My dad's people have gone to the hotel and got the surveillance footage. What are you going to say to Zhou Ping'an?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, he'll definitely go and negotiate with Ma Zhiyuan's agent. We don't know what the final outcome will be." Lu Yanhe said, "Give me a copy of the video as well. With this video in hand, he'll definitely make a killing from Ma Zhiyuan."
Li Zhibai: "Okay, at least multiply the medical expenses by ten. I'm so pissed off."
"You should be more motivated. If you work harder, appear on more shows, and become more popular than him, how dare he be so arrogant in front of you?" Lu Yanhe said immediately.
"Fuck, this is all my fault."
"If I can become more popular than him by working hard, I will definitely work hard," said Lu Yanhe.
Yan Liang also laughed.
It's not fair to say, but that's how showbiz is.
Effort and reward are not necessarily proportional.
Those who are most liked by others may not necessarily cherish those who are liked the most.
Those who are most highly expected by this industry may not necessarily be the ones who love this industry the most.
Li Zhibai is not hardworking, lazy, has an average temper, and is not very good at singing or dancing, but he is likable and popular. In addition, his cynical temperament also makes him favored by many circles.
Lu Yanhe said so, but if Li Zhibai really worked hard, he might not be as popular as he is now.
People who work hard are admired, but not obsessed with or worshipped.
-
The audition was held in a spacious conference room that was specially decorated.
Luo Yuzhong and Jiang Yuqian sat in the middle, with Vice President Ma sitting on the side.
In addition to them, there were quite a few people sitting in the back, including Star Entertainment's agents and other company managers.
In the corner, there was a woman with long wavy hair sitting.
From where she sat, she seemed to be an insignificant figure.
But from time to time, people around her looked at her with awe, from which it can be seen that this person has a high status in this company.
In fact, when she came in, everyone except Luo Yuzhong stood up and asked her to sit in the first row.
She declined it herself.
"Director Luo is here to select actors, so it's not appropriate for me to sit over there. But I also really want to listen to Director Luo's comments, so please forgive me for coming uninvited. I'll just sit quietly in the back, and everyone can just pretend I don't exist."
This is what the woman said at the time.
Vice President Ma looked back at her and also noticed the awe and nervousness in the eyes of others when they looked at her from time to time.
There are only a handful of people in this company who have this kind of influence.
Who dares to really pretend that she doesn't exist?
This woman.
Vice President Ma complained in his heart.
But he only dared to complain silently in his heart.
After all, this woman's name is Chen Ziyan.
She was the one who built most of the Star Entertainment Agency.
There have been two rounds of auditions.
Two groups of people came in, and each group spent less than ten minutes. It was obvious at a glance that none of them satisfied Luo Yuzhong.
After this group of people left, Luo Yuzhong called a timeout.
"Why are all these kids wearing makeup? Let those coming in later take it off first." Luo Yuzhong said unsatisfiedly, "This isn't a stage. They don't need to perform. Why are they wearing so much makeup?"
Vice President Ma responded immediately and arranged for someone to pass the message outside.
"Director Luo, I've already told someone. Don't be angry. These kids really value this audition and want to present their best selves to you," Vice President Ma said immediately. "They were carefully selected by the company. Please take your time to review them."
Jiang Yuqian glanced at the cup of coffee in front of Luo Yuzhong, which was already two-thirds drunk, and winked at her assistant.
The assistant understood immediately and turned around and left.
While waiting for the people behind to remove their makeup, Jiang Yuqian brought up her thoughts on the play at the right time, which kept the atmosphere lively.
Luo Yuzhong suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, is Lu Yanhe, the one I met last time, here today too?"
Jiang Yuqian looked at Vice President Ma.
Vice President Ma immediately said, "He's here, waiting outside."
He was wondering in his heart, could it be that so many people were arranged today, just to let Lu Yanhe get this opportunity?
He didn't expect that Luo Yuzhong actually had an impression of Lu Yanhe.
Luo Yuzhong said, "He looks good that way, fresh and clean. I'm looking for a young man with a student look. I can't stand this stage makeup."
Jiang Yuqian said, "Don't worry, the situation we saw with the two groups just now won't happen again. These young people sincerely want to learn from you, so please give them more guidance."
"Now that you've said that, I certainly have to give them some more guidance." Luo Yuzhong smiled and pointed at Jiang Yuqian. "If these young people were half as smart as you, and thought about how to appear in an audition, they wouldn't have acted like they did just now."
Jiang Yuqian glanced at Vice President Ma and did not expose the fact that the company had just gathered everyone this morning to inform them of the audition.
This matter has actually been decided long ago.
But Vice President Ma only notified them this morning in order to catch Lu Yanhe off guard.
These people were wary of the fact that Lu Yanhe and Luo Yuzhong had met before, and were afraid that Lu Yanhe would find out in advance and find other ways to get the role in advance, so they used this trick. The result was that everyone was caught off guard and no one could prepare in advance.
Jiang Yuqian thought it was quite funny.
She didn't quite understand why Vice President Ma was targeting a small artist.
When Lu Yanhe's group came in, Jiang Yuqian and Luo Yuzhong finally focused their attention a little.
Lu Yanhe's group happened to be Feng Zhi's five people.
Lu Yanhe, Li Zhibai, Yan Liang, Cheng Hai and Tu Song.
Luo Yuzhong's eyes lit up.
The boys in this group are all good-looking, without any fancy things, and have a very clean temperament.
For an older generation like him, he likes to watch young people who are more pure.
Moreover, these people seem to have their own aura and types.
Lu Yanhe is clean and well-dressed, Li Zhibai is a bit arrogant, Yan Liang is the reserved and introverted type, Cheng Hai looks a bit more mature than them, and has the appearance of a college student, while Tu Song is... a bit ordinary and seems a bit stubborn.
"Please give a brief introduction of yourselves to Director Luo," Vice President Ma said.
Luo Yuzhong waved his hand and said, "No need."
He looked at the young men.
"Have you ever acted in a play before?"
The five people shook their heads in unison.
Luo Yuzhong smiled and said, "You were all idols before, right?"
The five people nodded sparsely.
"I'll give you a question. You perform it one by one from left to right, and I'll see how you perform," said Luo Yuzhong.
The five people looked at Luo Yuzhong intently.
