"Although I tried to contact him later, he blocked all my contact methods after he left. I thought he probably wanted to recuperate in peace and avoid the hustle and bustle of the entertainment industry, so I gradually stopped contacting him. But I never expected..."
Liu Rulan lowered her eyes and looked at Tong Junhui, who was completely covered up in the photo. Her expression was complicated, but she did not blame Tong Junhui: "I just don't know if he is feeling any better."
Xiao He leaned over for a look and shrugged: "You can only see a silhouette in this photo, you can't tell anything else. But since he was able to audition, he should be fine by now."
"I hope so," Liu Rulan sighed softly. "I was too hasty back then. Perhaps if he hadn't taken that role, everything would have been different."
Xiao He didn't speak, but just looked at the person in the photo thoughtfully.
...
The casting of the first male lead for Director Feng Xiaogang has been a hot topic from day to night. After observing the audition lineup, netizens began to analyze the actors' micro-expressions as they left their seats. Fans from various groups were eager and confident, as if they had already secured the male lead role for Director Feng.
By evening, the final results of Director Feng's casting choices began to circulate online.
Liu Rulan inquired about it, and then her expression became complicated again.
Xiao He, who had been lying on the sofa looking at his phone, immediately sat up: "What? Could it be... Tong Junhui?"
“It’s him.” Liu Rulan nodded. “Director Feng personally decided on him, and I heard he will be participating in the subsequent auditions starting tomorrow.”
"ah?"
Xiao He pondered, "It seems Director Feng is quite satisfied with him."
But this might be bad news for them.
After all, there's the matter between Tong Junhui and Sister Liu...
Liu Rulan also said, "I won't go to the audition with you the day after tomorrow."
"Why? Could it be that Tong Junhui is deliberately doing something underhanded after finding out you're my manager?" Xiao He asked, frowning.
"It's hard to say." Liu Rulan gave a bitter smile. "Although I don't think Tong Junhui is that kind of person, everyone is changing now, and I can't see him clearly anymore."
Xiao He fell into a brief silence.
"I'm sorry, this time it was my fault that dragged you into it," Liu Rulan apologized.
Xiao He shook his head: "We had already discussed this situation beforehand. I wasn't very interested in this play, and going to the audition was just a formality. Now it's actually better this way. I can perform normally, and even if I don't get the part, I won't feel any pressure."
"but--"
Xiao He stroked his chin: "I just feel that the results of the male lead audition came out too quickly this time, it felt more like a formality."
Among those who auditioned this time, being a Best Actor was just the entry threshold. There was more than just Tong Junhui as a Best Actor; many of them had won Best Actor multiple times and were active on the big screen for years, guaranteeing a solid box office foundation.
And Tong Junhui?
Although he is associated with the hot topic of "retiring from the entertainment industry at the peak of his career," he has been out of the industry for many years. The entertainment industry changes very quickly, and even his fans have changed several times. There are too many uncertainties surrounding him, and he has no advantage over others.
Therefore, Xiao He really couldn't figure out why Director Feng chose Tong Junhui.
