Chapter 054 True Open Audition

"I am Wanqi Huan, the vice president of Dynasty Film and Television."

Qi Luo smiled and nodded: "It turns out to be Vice President Wanqi, nice to meet you." Qi Wuyu had only mentioned to her Wanqi Zheng, the head of the Wanqi family. She thought that apart from Wanqi Zheng, there was no need to pay too much attention to the others.

"I wonder why Vice President Wanqi is looking for me... ? Please forgive me, I lost my memory in a car accident not long ago, and I don't remember the people and things in the past. I don't know if I have met the vice president before." If he hadn't met him before, his behavior of suddenly running up to someone in public to make himself felt would be very abrupt.

"I've never met you, but I recognize you. Your story has been a hot topic on the Internet recently." He was a little dissatisfied with Qi Luo's disrespectful attitude towards him as he was still sitting and talking to him, but he didn't point it out directly. He just frowned slightly to express his dissatisfaction.

Qi Luo pretended not to notice.

"These are all groundless rumors. My media friends and netizens gave me face and kept me popular for a few more days. I'm sorry to make the vice president laugh."

The reason why the heat of the subsequent events of the live broadcast remained high for several days in a row was not because these media and netizens gave her face, but because the incident involved the extremely popular Ye Zhefan. Her company Ancheng Entertainment did a good job in public relations. In addition, "Super Farmhouse Chef" needed to maintain its heat to ensure the ratings when the program was broadcast, so there was such a grand occasion on the Internet.

Qi Luo didn't like the way Wanqi Huan looked at her, it felt like he was looking at a commodity to be sold. However, compared to Wanqi Huan's eyes, Qi Luo cared more about the look another person gave her.

Following his gaze, he met the sight of the beautiful writer Lou Zhi.

As expected of a cool guy, Lou Zhi was very cool and just stared at her coldly. Qi Luo couldn't understand the emotion in Lou Zhi's eyes, but as their eyes met and the other party didn't have any obvious ill will towards her, she still nodded slightly in greeting.

Although she didn't see much kindness towards her from Lou Zhi's eyes.

She nodded in greeting, and out of politeness, Lou Zhi should have responded, but he didn't. He just stared at her for a moment and then looked away.

Qi Luo looked puzzled.

what? Have you ever had a feud before?

"You really want..."

"It's almost time, let's work first, the sooner we finish, the sooner we'll leave."

Wanqi Huan originally wanted to ask Qi Luo if he really wanted the role of Sang Zhu, but he was interrupted by Lou Zhi before he could finish his words.

Lou Zhi's voice is a very pleasant royal sister's voice. Yu Man, who was standing next to her, was so dazed that she grabbed Qi Luo's arm tightly and tried hard to restrain herself from screaming.

Directors and producers also said they would work first.

A group of people entered the audition room.

Normally the actors have to wait outside, and then go in for the audition one by one when their numbers are called. But not long after they entered, they let all the audition actors in.

There are more than twenty actors who came to audition. Not everyone is eligible to receive an audition invitation, otherwise the workload would be enormous.

The audition room is not small and can easily accommodate more than 20 people.

A staff member brought over stools, and the director called out to everyone, "Everyone, take a seat. Since we said we're going to have an open audition, we have to make it completely open. All actors will watch others audition on site, and when everyone has finished auditioning, we'll give them the results and then everyone can leave together."

Then he added: "This is the suggestion that your Mr. Lou Zhi just gave."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the actors who were originally thought to be just there to run along lit up and they looked at Lou Zhi with gratitude. Yu Man, who was sitting next to Qi Luo, admired Lou Zhi even more.

Bumping into Qi Luo, he said, "Lou Zhi is indeed my favorite writer. He's so cool! He actually managed to get the Vice President of Dynasty Film and Television to agree to a 'real open' audition. Look at He Xin's expression now. I'm almost laughing to death."

"Really, I've seen a lot of open auditions, but this is the first time I've seen one that's 'truly open' like this."

Qi Luo also saw it for the first time.

It is said to be an open audition, but in fact many of the audition footage will not be leaked. Whether it is good or bad, the decision on who to choose is mostly a matter of negotiation among all parties, and the final decision is made internally.

Although the casting this time was also done by four judges who selected the candidates internally, if all the auditioning actors watched the entire audition process in person, they would also weigh the choices when selecting candidates.

There are many people here whose acting skills are better than He Xin and "Su Qiluo".

Everyone finally saw a glimmer of hope.

“But in this case, Luoluo, your chances of winning won’t be very high.” Yu Man pointed to a few people and said to her, “The ones I just pointed out to you are all talented actors. Their acting skills are better than He Xin’s, not to mention…” You.

She didn't finish her words, but Qi Luo understood what she meant and patted her shoulder to comfort her: "It's okay, we just need to do our best to perform the segments we are going to perform, and as for the results, we will leave it to fate."

It is impossible to leave everything to fate. Such real disclosure will only make her less likely to hide her true abilities and show them.

Qi Luo looked towards Lou Zhi who was sitting in the judging panel. As soon as she looked over, she met Lou Zhi's gaze which was looking up at her, which made her stunned for a moment.

What's going on? Why does Lou Zhi always give her the feeling that he knows her?

"Alright, the open audition for the role of Sang Zhu in "The Immortals and Demons" will begin now. Please follow your number tags and go on stage to perform the corresponding segments. Lou Zhi's intention is to select the actor who is most suitable for Sang Zhu. Everyone can choose two segments that they think best show Sang Zhu's character traits to perform. The time limit is five minutes."

Two segments of five minutes each, which is a real test of one's skills.

"Except for the actor number one who has ten minutes to prepare, the rest of the actors will not have ten minutes to prepare. You will have to perform on stage once you are called. The timer will start now, actor number one will start preparing."

Many people began to prepare in a panic.

Many people only prepared one segment.

Of course there were some who were well prepared, but they were very few. Qi Luo only saw two or three at a glance. He Xin is not among them, but Yu Man is.

Seeing Qi Luo looking at her, Yu Man grinned at her and whispered to her, "I actually prepared three clips seriously. Although the chances are slim, I still want to do my best. This role is not for me, but it's a good thing for me to make the director and producer remember me. When there is a play in the future, they may think of my seriousness in this audition and decide to find me."

For a moment, Qi Luo seemed to see his former self through Yu Man.

She used to try her best to seize every opportunity, even though she knew her chances were slim. It was because of her repeated serious efforts that she got the first leading role in her life.

It was a martial arts drama, and the original female lead was a bit of a diva. She was unwilling to perform many of the fighting scenes that required on-stage performances, and let a stand-in do all of them. A martial arts drama consists mostly of fighting scenes, all of which are performed by stunt doubles. So what is the point of the actors themselves existing?

The director talked to her many times, but not only did she not listen, she also posted on Weibo to imply the director and the director team. The director was also a hot-tempered man. He openly argued with her online. The director had a lot of evidence in his hands, and the heroine's reputation plummeted in an instant.

Since the leading actress is no longer available, naturally we have to find a new one. Time is tight, it is too late for an open audition, and we can't find a suitable candidate for the time being. At this moment, the director suddenly thought of Qi Luo.

It can be considered a lucky break, but this is indeed an opportunity that Qi Luo has fought for through his own efforts.

Since the show started airing, Qi Luo's fame has grown little by little, the company began to pay attention to her, and she no longer lacks dramas to shoot. In this way, she climbed step by step to her later heights.

Qi Luo patted the back of Yu Man's hand and said, "Man Man, your efforts will not be in vain. One day you will succeed on your own."

Yu Man was stunned. She just casually expressed her thoughts, but she didn't expect Qi Luo to have such a big reaction. He also told her so earnestly that her efforts would not be in vain and that one day she would be able to succeed on her own.

Somehow, Yu Man's eyes suddenly turned red.

She actually debuted two years earlier than He Xin, and her acting skills are not bad, but she has always been tepid and has only played very minor roles. Although there is no limit to the size of the role, as an actor, who doesn’t want to play the leading role?

"Thank you, Luoluo."

But Qi Luo said, "Although you work hard and one day you will definitely succeed on your own, I will not let you go today. I must get this role."

Before Yu Man's tears could fall, he suddenly burst into laughter because of her words, "Okay, don't let me, we will both give our best and rely on our own abilities."

As they were talking, actress number one came on stage and began her performance.

It was an actor Qi Luo didn't know. Perhaps he was too nervous and almost tripped when he went on stage, which made the tense atmosphere in the audition room rise to a higher level.
