Chapter 70 Who is this person?

Lin Manjiao was stunned for a moment before she realized that Shen Shiman was talking about Xu Shuozhou.

After a few seconds of silence, she sighed with sadness: "I never thought I would be so blind..."

Not long ago, she even negotiated with the crew for Xu Shuozhou, saying that even if they really had to pay penalty for breach of contract, they would try their best to negotiate a price that both parties could accept in a friendly manner.

She told everyone that Xu Shuozhou was a good person...

As a result, within half an hour, she was slapped in the face.

Not only did Xu Shuozhou have a bad temper and didn't understand her good intentions at all, he almost hit her...

Even though someone tried to stop her, the slap did not land on her face.

But when he raised his hand high, the slap had already landed on her heart.

"I also want to thank Director Shen for his previous reminder."

Lin Manjiao looked guilty: "I am really sorry that I have implicated Director Shen because of my love affair..."

She sincerely apologized to the person.

Shen Shiman didn't say much and waved his hand: "As long as it doesn't cause trouble for the company."

Lin Manjiao was slightly stunned, but didn't think much about it.

She smiled bitterly and said, "If the company didn't have any other artists worth showing off at the moment, I might have been put on ice."

Manxing Entertainment did not want to miss the opportunity to star in "Ask the Stars".

Even if they only get a small role in it, it is enough to raise their status.

But there are not many artists in the company, and she is the only one who can show off her talents.

As for those others, they were probably just given away for free to play minor roles, and Shen Shiman wouldn't even look at them.

Lin Manjiao also tried to invite Shen Shiman to dinner.

All of them were rejected by Shen Shiman: "Don't say anything more. I'm not very good at rejecting people. If you talk too much, I will become soft-hearted..."

Lin Manjiao couldn't help but feel moved when she heard this and wanted to stay with him for a while longer.

But Shen Shiman changed the subject: "Although I am not good at saying no, I may be forced to agree to some things, but I will never break my bottom line."

"Although they won't say anything, they will definitely be dissatisfied in their hearts."

Lin Manjiao choked on the words she hadn't said yet.

"So you'd better not try to get into trouble or anything like that."

Shen Shiman had a blank expression on his face and looked very unhappy.

Lin Manjiao naturally couldn't continue to touch the mold.

But she was reluctant to give up the chance to act in "Ask the Stars"...

"If you're here for 'Ask the Job', you can give me your email address and I'll send you an audition invitation."

Shen Shiman took the initiative to talk about the role: "As for whether you can get the role, it depends on you."

Lin Manjiao immediately told the email account with a look of joy.

The role she prefers is the number one female character, Princess Tiange.

But after Shen Shiman sent her an audition invitation, he said, "I think the role of the third female lead Si Bo is more suitable for you."

Lin Manjiao looked hesitant.

The third female role sounds good, but in reality she has very few parts.

In "Wen Xing", except for the hero Chang Wen and the young Tian Xing, the other characters don't have many roles, especially those in the protagonist group, almost all of them are killed halfway through.

Except for the eldest princess Changge, almost all the people close to Tianxing died.

Even Chang Ge died of illness not long after he successfully restored order in Tianxing and ascended to the throne.

This was a woman of great courage. When Tianxing was away on military campaigns, she stayed in the palace to keep him safe, appeased court officials, and supervised the country and assisted in government administration.

It can be said that a large part of the credit for Tianxing's ability to fight abroad, annex other countries and expand territory was due to Princess Changge.

Later, Changge passed away, and Tianxing couldn't find a better helper for a while, so he had to put the expansion plan on hold and develop in a dormant manner.

And Sibo...

Not only does he not have a significant role, he is also an extremely vicious villain.

She was originally a member of the protagonist group, lonely and weak, and was rescued by the protagonist group, but ended up betraying the protagonist group and killing several people...

Lin Manjiao didn't know whether Shen Shiman suggested her to play Si Bo because he really thought she was suitable or because he simply wanted to take revenge on her.

But she didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction. Even if Shen Shiman really wanted to take revenge on her, she could only be happy to get the role of Si Bo...

"I will think about it carefully. Thank you, Director Shen."

Lin Manjiao complimented him with a few nice words.

She understood that with the popularity of the original novel "Ask the Journey", unless the director and screenwriter Shen Shiman changed the plot to a mess, even if it didn't become a huge hit, the early box office would still be very good.

Being able to get a role, even if it's just the third female villain, is enough to add a nice resume for her.

Shen Shiman does not understand Lin Manjiao's thoughts. She simply thinks that the role of Si Bo, who looks innocent and lovable but is actually so cruel that he can kill even his close ones without hesitation or batting an eyelid, is very suitable for someone with Lin Manjiao's looks to play.

Plus, she has performed better in villain roles in the past, so I made this suggestion.

As for which role she will get, it depends on her performance in the audition.

After sending the people away, Shen Shiman and Song Wenxing ordered a hot pot takeout.

After eating and drinking, the two of them had nothing to do, so they just lay on the balcony and did their own things.

Shen Shiman was concentrating on drawing the storyboard, while Song Wenxing was distracted from time to time while holding the script, his eyes always glancing at people unnoticed.

We ordered takeout for dinner again.

The two of them stayed at home for a few more days until the day of the audition.

There were quite a few people who came. Even though Shen Shiman was just a new director, many people gave him face...

Of course, most of the people were new faces.

As for the remaining familiar faces, some came for the title of "Ask the Stars" adaptation, while others came for the high pay.

In the audition invitation, Shen Shiman noted the salary, which was much higher than the industry average, and stated that as long as the role was suitable, the salary would be the same for everyone.

Many people who are not big names but have achieved some success come here for this.

The first day of the audition was lively enough.

But most of the people came to fight for the long questions and other more important roles.

Song Wenxing was the only one who auditioned for Tianxing.

"Tell me, if I'm the only one auditioning later, will you have no choice but to choose me?"

Song Wenxing took advantage of the break to bring Shen Shiman a cup of milk tea.

Shen Shiman: ...

She was about to say something when she saw an unexpected person walking towards her.

"Director Shen, I want to audition for the role of Tian Xing. Is it convenient now?"

The clear male voice, neither too loud nor too soft, with a unique gentleness, instantly attracted the attention of many people who came for the audition.

Some of the gossipers have already started discussing in low voices: "Who is this person?"

Shen Shiman looked at the people for a while, then looked at Song Wenxing next to him, and chuckled: "Of course you can, go over there and get your number plate. There are not many people auditioning for Tianxing at the moment, so you may have to wait a little longer."

"no problem."

Song Wenxing looked at the man, responded and turned to get the license plate, his face suddenly darkening.
