Chapter 71 Audition Tyrant
"Now you are not the only one auditioning for this role."
Shen Shiman looked at Song Wenxing with a schadenfreude: "If you don't work hard, someone else will take the role!"
Song Wenxing: ...
He gritted his teeth and said, "You can be more obvious in taking pleasure in other people's misfortunes!"
Shen Shiman laughed even louder.
Song Wenxing: ...
He glanced at the man who had received his number plate and then found a place to sit quietly and wait.
Unlucky!
But because of this sudden accident, Song Wenxing could no longer be as careless as before...
This bad guy has always liked to get ahead of him in everything since he was young.
But he is really on par with others.
Even though he knew that the other party had no acting experience, he did not dare to be careless at all.
Who knows if this kid is secretly studying hard in places where no one can see!
Song Wenxing didn't dare to be careless anymore. He put away his carelessness and started to study the script.
Shen Shiman watched a lot of people's auditions today, and his pen kept writing and drawing on paper.
As for who has been decided, she gave the same answer: wait for notification.
After eating a few bites of his lunch box and auditioning a few people, Shen Shiman was about to call it a day as it was getting late.
Just as I was about to get out of the elevator, I heard a noise coming from the stairwell not far away.
"Gu Qiming, I advise you to have some self-awareness!"
Cheng Ming, a powerful uncle who is always known for his gentle and polite manner, stopped Gu Qiming, who was helping to clean up the scene and had delayed the work for a while, in the stairwell at the corner.
Cheng Ming and Gu Qiming debuted at the same time.
When the two of them first started out as extras in various drama crews, they even shared the same house.
But Cheng Ming's luck is much better than Gu Qiming's. At least every drama he starred in was broadcast well.
In recent years, he has gained popularity through playing several supporting roles and has gradually gained fans.
In the past two years, I signed a contract with a relatively powerful company. After obtaining some resources of moderate size, I started to operate in the direction of the uncle circle, and the results were unexpectedly good.
He was unknown when he was young, but after reaching middle age, he became a little famous.
Among those who auditioned for the role of Big Hero today, there was Cheng Ming.
Shen Shiman is also very optimistic about his acting skills.
At least among the people here today, including Gu Qiming, Cheng Ming's acting is the most natural and fits the role very well.
Gu Qiming does have some potential, but he is still not as good as Cheng Ming, who has been immersed in the film set for many years. His acting skills are smooth and you can hardly see any traces of acting.
Shen Shiman originally wanted to establish a name for himself...
I didn't expect to encounter such a thing.
"Don't think that just because you filmed a variety show with Shen Shiman for two days, you have become friends with him."
Cheng Ming sneered and said, "Why don't you ask if the person who is paying attention to you knows you?"
"You're the only one who's attentive, aren't you?"
"Do you think you can get the role of Chang Wen just by rushing to help others? Don't you consider whether your status is worthy of it?"
"Be discerning and don't show up again after tomorrow, or I'll make you pay!"
Gu Qiming gritted his teeth in hatred and glared at people.
"I heard that your mother hasn't been in good health recently, and her medicine costs a lot of money."
Cheng Ming smiled maliciously: "You don't want to see her stop taking the medicine and just wait to die, right?"
"Just stay at the bottom and stop thinking about climbing up!"
What he said made Shen Shiman feel confused, but it shocked Gu Qiming very much.
His lips trembled and his fists tightened and clenched.
Finally, like a deflated ball: "I know..."
When Cheng Ming came out of the stairwell, Shen Shiman pulled Song Wenxing back into the elevator.
Because I didn't press the floor button, the elevator didn't respond.
Cheng Ming just looked back without thinking much and hurriedly left the interview building.
Gu Qiming leaned against the stairwell door with a dejected look on his face.
He knew that this audition opportunity was hard to come by, and he might not even perform well...
Although he has not achieved much in these years, he still has some ability to read people's expressions.
After his performance, although Shen Shiman said words of encouragement, he did not seem very satisfied.
Later, he took the opportunity to audit the performances of several people, and he could see that Cheng Ming's acting skills were much better than his...
Shen Shiman should be more interested in becoming famous.
But he didn't want to give up just like that, and thought about asking for another chance with a shameless face.
Even if I can't ask for the big hero role, asking for a smaller role is also good...
After all, the pay for "Ask the Stars" is not low.
Changwen's role was out of his league.
Although he felt regretful and lost, he was not unable to accept it.
I just want to stay in the crew, even if I can play a few more minor roles...
At least I can show my face, and I will have the opportunity to try other roles in the future.
But now...
Cheng Ming disliked him and waited for him downstairs for several hours just to warn him in person.
If he insists on staying in the crew... I'm afraid he will retaliate.
Gu Qiming sat there decadently for a long time, sighed, and finally took out his cell phone with resentment. He typed out a few words tremblingly, preparing to send them to Shen Shiman.
Looking at the words in the dialogue box, Gu Qiming hesitated and his eyes turned red.
He gritted his teeth and turned off the screen of his mobile phone, secretly telling himself to send it after returning home.
Although he knew that even if he could delay it for a while, in the end it would be nothing more than a compromise...
But for some reason he just didn't want to post it now.
It's better to delay it for a while!
Gu Qiming walked out of the stairwell with his head down, not paying much attention to his surroundings, and naturally did not notice Shen Shiman and Song Wenxing who had been waiting for a while.
Seeing that the people were about to leave the building, Shen Shiman coughed lightly.
The sudden sound scared Gu Qiming so much that he almost sprained his ankle.
"Director Shen..."
He looked at the two of them as if he had seen a ghost: "Teacher Song, why are you here?"
"I came down late, and I saw that Teacher Gu hadn't left yet, so I thought of asking you if you wanted to have dinner together."
Shen Shiman was not in a hurry to expose what happened in the stairwell.
Gu Qiming hesitated for a few seconds, then quickly waved his hand to refuse: "No, no, I have something else to do, so I won't delay Director Shen and Teacher Song..."
Shen Shiman uttered "ah" but did not force it.
She glanced at Gu Qiming and said, "Teacher Song and I are at the hot pot restaurant across the alley. If Teacher Gu is done with his work, you can come find me."
Gu Qiming was slightly stunned, not quite understanding what Shen Shiman meant.
“Alley Hot Pot is open until 3am.”
Shen Shiman smiled and said, "Teacher Gu, you can take your time to think about it."
Gu Qiming looked confused.
consider?
What to consider?
Shen Shiman didn't say anything else. He pulled Song Wenxing out of the building and headed straight for the hotpot restaurant in the alley opposite.
Gu Qiming looked at their hurried backs and felt a little helpless for a moment.
