Chapter 713


    "It''s really not bad," Fu Xiuyuan said seriously. "Otherwise, do you think I could eat it all?"


    "Then I''ll make it again next time?"


    Fu Xiuyuan held her fingers. "Mm."

    There was an audition the next day.


    Shi Jin arrived at the audition venue early.


    After the giarism misunderstanding, more artistes came to audition this time.


    Many of them had seen the conceptual promotional video and heard the soundtrack, so they were


    confident in the crew''s aesthetic.


    People in the industry were different from outsiders. Most outsiders just watched the show.


    People in the industry valued the director''s ability to express more.


    The artistes who auditioned this time were also slightly more famous than the previous time. It was


    probably because Shi Jin knew Ji Hanxue, Director Ji, that they had changed their impression of the


    overall ability of the production team.


    After Shi Jin went through some of the scenes, Yao Jiahong had something to discuss with her. She


    walked out to talk to Yao Jiahong.


    A momentter, Little Song rushed over and said, "Shi Jin, there are two artistes. You must want to


    meet them."


    "Who?"


    "The ones you mentionedst time, Jian Liang and Xiao Ming. Weren''t you sorry they didn''te


    for the auditionst time? Here they are."


    "I''ll be right there," Shi Jin said.


    Yao Jiahong asked, "Whichpanies are these two from? You seem to care about them?"


    "I don''t know them either. I was just asking," Shi Jin said, remembering that in her previous life, the


    two of them had been the main characters in Phoenix Tree. This movie had be extremely


    popr, and so did they.


    She''d thought a lot had changed in this life. She couldn''t force it.


    She did not expect that Xiao Ming and Jian Liang would stille for the audition even though the


    original main leads left.


    It was as if many things were destined.


    Shi Jin hurried back to the audition venue.


    Liang Han said in a low voice, "It''s Jian Liang and Xiao Ming''s turn."


    "Okay."


    Shi Jin sat down. Xiao Ming was the first to arrive. He was thin, and his bone structure was very


    clear on his calm face. He had an excellent and photogenic face, but he had always acted in


    ordinary television dramas and movies before. He was hardly famous.


    "Let''s draw a segment," Liang Han said.


    Xiao Ming quickly drew a segment and went on stage when he was ready.


    An intense emotion quickly appeared on his calm face, but this emotion was extremely restrained.


    Liang Han nodded gently and wrote something by his name.


    Jian Liang, on the other hand, was a thin, ordinary-looking girl. Like Xiao Ming, she looked ordinary,


    but her expression when she got into character was not ordinary at all. Her emotions were in ce.


    She did not have any representative works before, so she was unknown.


    Liang Han asked Shi Jin, "What do you think?"


    "I think they''re great. If there''s nobody better, we can settle on them both."


    "You''ve seen them act before?"


    "A bit, and I was impressed," Shi Jin said with a smile. "But even the best actor needs a good cast


    and a good director to support each other."


    Liang Hanughed. "I agree with your wordspletely."


    Outside the door, after Jian Liang and Xiao Ming left, the manager asked nervously, "How''s the


    situation? What did Director Liang say about your performance?"


    The two of them were from the samepany. In the light of many famous artists in thepany,


    they looked very inconspicuous. Until now, they had not obtained any good resources.


    When they came to audition for this movie and saw the various celebrities sitting outside the door,


    they looked at each other and found it difficult.


    "Director Liang didn''t say much, so we don''t know the situation yet," Jian Liang said, shaking her


    head.


    "Well, if it doesn''t work out, forget it. I wasn''t particrly optimistic about this movie anyway," the


    agent said. "Thepany has its own internal TV series at the moment. I''ll try to go get that for you


    guys."


    Jian Liang had no choice but to nod. "That sounds good."


    Only B-grade dramas couldnd in their hands. It was difficult to even get an A-grade drama, so it


    was not considered a particrly good resource.


    However, for two people who were not famous, it seemed reasonable that they were not supported


    by thepany.


    Xiao Ming looked back at the celebrities sitting at the entrance of the audition. Their acting skills had


    already been recognized by the market. He lowered his eyes.


    After the two of them got into the car, they were not in a good mood. Although they knew that there


    might not be a good oue when they came, their mood was still very different after experiencing


    it personally.


    They closed their eyes to rest.


    The agent yed with his phone. It wasn''t that he wasn''t busy, but the two he had with him now


    didn''t have much work to begin with. As an agent, he was both idle and didn''t have much ie.


    As he was ying the game, the number in his phone rang.


    The agent sat up straight and picked up the phone. "Hello? Oh, it''s Director Song! Hello, Director


    Song! Xiao Ming and Jian Liang together? Okay, okay, no problem!"


    Jian Liang and Xiao Ming opened their eyes at the same time.


    The agent hung up and said to the driver, "Turn around and go right back."


    "So we are?" Jian Liang asked, afraid to be too sure.


    "The casting director, Director Song, called and asked you to go back now. The crew has finalized


    the two of you. Xiao Ming will y the male lead, and you will y the second female lead." "Ah!"


    Jian Liang clutched her face in delight. "Is it true?"


    "Wake yourself up first. I need to talk to the office." The agent dialed thepany line.


    Jiang Liang couldn''t contain her delight. She''d auditioned for the second female lead knowing that


    the first female lead in this movie was given to Shi Jin.


    It was just that she had expected that she might not be able to get the role. Even if she passed the


    audition, she might not be able to y the second female lead. She might even be pushed to y


    random no-name roles.


    This current result was the best.


    Xiao Ming recovered from his great joy and said to her, "Congrattions."


    "Same to you."


    When the car drove back to the set, the agent had already finishedmunicating with the


    company.


    Xiao Ming and Jian Liang, together with their agent, were invited to Liang Han''s office by the


    production team''s assistant.


    "Director Liang! Director Song!" The agent came forward to shake their hands.


    Little Song said sinctly, "Congrattions to Xiao Ming and Jian Liang for passing our audition.


    This is the contract. You can see if there are any problems. If not, we can sign it."


    The manager was shocked by their efficiency again. The director actually had so much power


    withoutmunicating with the producer and the investor


    behind him!


    No doubt such rights were really a guarantee of efficiency.


    After the manager read it himself, he sent the contract back to thepany''s legal department.


    With his previousmunication with thepany, the legal department was ready. They read it


    quickly and gave it back.


    After both parties had amended some minor details, the contract was finally settled.


    Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Jian Liang and Xiao Ming signed the contract. They had not calmed down yet.


    Thinking about the people who auditioned with them, they were all of higher status than them. The


    two of them were not particrly outstanding in all aspects...
