"Oh, it's from our company. I thought the director was here to select actors."

"What are you thinking? We just signed the contract, how could we possibly have such good fortune?"

Wen Yixing clapped her hands, and the practice room fell silent again. "I think many of you may not be very familiar with short dramas. I'll give you a few comparable accounts so you can search for them on your own platforms to get a basic understanding."

Behind Wen Yixing was a large mirror. When the person in charge saw that Wen Yixing wanted to write, he reached out and handed her a pen.

Wen Yixing turned around and wrote down several account names.

"Everyone can take a look first. I'll introduce the current situation of our department to you." Wen Yixing's voice was gentle, and her words were spoken in a leisurely manner, which made people unconsciously concentrate.

"Our department is a newly established department in the company and is still in the development stage. The short drama market is not that hot right now, but the company believes it is an industry with potential. Of course, this is equivalent to an investment. We cannot guarantee that what we produce will be a big hit, nor can we guarantee that it will not be. After we come here to select artists, the artists will need to make time for our filming, which may delay your training and may also cause you to miss other opportunities."

Wen Yixing didn't make empty promises to the actors. She spoke sincerely and looked at the artists below, "So, whether you want to come or not, you can think about it carefully."

After listening, everyone curiously opened their phones to search for the account Wen Yixing mentioned. Before long, the group was divided into three parts: one part watched the video with great disdain, one part hesitated, and the other part was eager to try.

Wen Yixing stood at the front and could hear their discussion.

"Oh my god, this is so embarrassing, I think I'll pass."

"I can't do it, I have an audition in a few days!"

"We're a bit conflicted. The company's short drama department has just been established, so let's wait and see how things go."

"Anyway, I don't have much to do lately, so I think I can give it a try."

Wen Yixing spotted a few girls in the crowd who looked nice. Finally, her gaze fell on the girl who was sitting in the corner and not talking to anyone. The girl had shoulder-length short hair and her bangs were a bit long, covering her eyebrows and eyes.

It seems she may have offended the company's stylist, who gave her this rather unsuitable hairstyle.

Wen Yixing thought the girl had a very good temperament, so she couldn't help but look at her for a while longer.

Just then, Wen Yixing saw the blonde girl sitting next to her nudge her shoulder and say, "Hey, why don't you give it a try? Look, I think this girl looks a lot like you."

The girl sitting in front of the blonde girl turned around curiously: "What? Let me see!"

"Hahaha, that gloomy vibe really does match!"

The artists in the audience were discussing the short dramas. Wen Yixing walked over to Wang Shiqing and whispered, "Which one do you think is good?"

Wang Shiqing, who was showing off to her friends that she had been promoted to a god-like position, looked up at Wen Yixing with a bit of surprise and said, "Ah? Sister Yixing, I haven't finished reading the script yet."

After thinking for a moment, Wang Shiqing quietly pointed out a few people to Wen Yixing, "But I think for the female lead, the second one from the right in the third row, the girl in the middle of the first row in yellow, and the girl in the black dress on the far left."

Wen Yixing also thought the people Wang Shiqing was pointing to were suitable. Her gaze fell on the girl in the middle. The girl had long curly hair, wore a white dress, had exquisite makeup, and had a faint air of arrogance.

At that moment, she was discussing short dramas with her friends.

"Tangtang, what do you think? Do you want to give it a try? I'm thinking about it."

Meng Yutang curled her lips in disdain, boredly looking down and fidgeting with her hands: "I won't go to such a short drama. I wouldn't go even if you begged me. It's unnecessary and a pure waste of time."

"That's true, with your family being so wealthy, what resources don't you have?"

Meng Yutang raised her eyelids and said calmly, "Of course, do you know which family my family is marrying into?"

When this kind of gossip is mentioned, everyone looks over with curiosity.

After all, Meng Yutang's status is indeed different from theirs. She is the second young lady of the Meng family in Beijing, a true heiress and beauty. She came to Yunhua for training this time only to better enter the entertainment industry next year. With her family background, she will never lack resources.

"Which one is it, Tangtang? Don't keep me in suspense."

Meng Yutang raised an eyebrow and said directly, "My sister is going to marry that guy from the Shen family."

"The Shen family?"

"Holy crap, who is it? Is it the one I'm thinking of?"

Everyone was stunned, and the topic drifted further and further away.

The people around Meng Yutang no longer wanted to discuss the short drama; they all gathered around to watch the drama unfold.

Meng Yutang scoffed lightly: "Otherwise, who else could be worthy of my sister?"

Wang Shiqing also unconsciously went forward to eat some melon. After she finished, she quietly returned and sighed.

Wen Yixing looked at her and asked gently, "What's wrong?"

“Another arranged marriage,” Wang Shiqing sighed. “It just reminded me of something that happened when I was in school. My roommate was dating someone who was seven years older than her. They were actually planning to get married, but the man’s parents didn’t agree.”

"Because the man's family is relatively wealthy, while my roommate's family is more ordinary. The man's family arranged the marriage with his parents. They used to be very much in love, but later, for the sake of their families' interests, the man still went through with the marriage."

“He’s already married, but he still can’t let go of my roommate. He often gives her bags and gifts, saying that he was forced into the marriage because his family’s company might have gone bankrupt if they hadn’t married into the family.”
