Chapter 85 "The Chinese entertainment industry has no rivals; it only relies on its competitors to make it stand out." (2/2)



The group walked and talked, then entered the private room they had reserved in advance.

Liu Zehang asked Xiao He about the audition results: "How do you think of this audition? I have a bad feeling about it. Now it's up to you to prove your brother right."

Xiao He shrugged: "I have no hope."

Liu Zehang asked doubtfully, "Are you so sure?"

"I'm pretty sure, but I don't know if you've pulled any strings on your end."

"Damn it," Liu Zehang muttered under his breath, "Isn't this fair competition? Do we really need connections?"

"Yes, I suspect that many people go there simply because they're lured there to generate traffic."

"What? Really?"

Liu Zehang was somewhat incredulous, or rather, he couldn't understand the reason why a big director would do such a thing. After all, this matter couldn't be kept secret forever, and once everyone realized what was happening, Director Feng's image and reputation would be affected.

If Director Feng wants to make movies and find actors again in the future, it won't be as easy as it is now.

"Just wait and see," Xiao He said. "Given the marketing tactics they've used recently, we'll definitely hear about it tonight, and the candidates might even be more than we imagine."

"Anyone will do as long as it's not Chen Yulin," Liu Zehang said without hesitation.

Xiao He: "Hehe."

If that's true, that would be wonderful; one virus could infect an entire colony.

Since no one drank alcohol, the meal ended quickly. However, before they even left the restaurant, the final results of the audition were already posted online.

Upon seeing that name, Liu Zehang immediately exclaimed "Holy crap!"

"How could it really be him?"

Staring at the name "Chen Yulin," Liu Zehang gritted his teeth in anger: "Damn it! How could it really be this kid? This is truly an insult."

Liu Zehang can accept being fairly eliminated by someone with better acting skills than himself, and he can also accept that his two good brothers both failed the audition and became brothers in misfortune, but he just can't accept that this guy succeeded in the audition!

Chen Yulin? Haha, what a joke. Guess why, despite having such great resources, he's always been a supporting male character instead of a lead? Is it because he doesn't want to?

Although Liu Zehang was overshadowed by Chen Yulin's popularity, he has always been confident in his acting skills.

What happened this time?

[Ahhh, it really is Xiao Chen! That's great! I can't wait!]

[Congratulations, Xiao Chen! You've now worked on a film directed by a famous director! That's fantastic!]

[Rumor has it that Liu Zehang, Su Ji, and Le Yuanbai also auditioned. Our Xiao Chen's acting has really improved!]

[What? So those other people auditioned too? That's fantastic! Some people were always being sarcastic, saying our Xiao Chen's acting wasn't good, but now they've been proven wrong, haven't they? Hehe, the director and the audience have discerning eyes.]

[Yes, Chen's acting has always been excellent. His portrayals of Mo Bai and the Second Young Master will always hold a special place in my heart. Those people are just panicking, afraid that Chen will become famous.]

...

Looking at the comments below, Liu Zehang rolled his eyes: "Of all the people who auditioned, only Chen Yulin's acting skills are obviously terrible, and now these fans have actually found an opportunity to make noise about it."

Anyone with eyes can see there was definitely something fishy about this audition! Any one of those actors selected individually is a better actor than Chen Yulin. Why use a pretty face instead of several talented actors?

It's absolutely laughable.

Xiao He shrugged: "It's fine. I'm obscure enough that nobody cares about me."

LOL, he's not even mentioned in the camp of those who are trying to put others down.

But it's fine, Xiao He is happy to be free.

"Sigh—" Liu Zehang raised his hand and patted Xiao He, "There's nothing we can do. Everyone's been tricked. Next, we'll probably have to start scrambling for other resources and scripts. Let's all keep going."

Xiao He clenched his fist, raised his hand and bumped it with Liu Zehang's: "Good luck, I look forward to seeing you next time."

"Yeah, looking forward to seeing you next time."

However, neither Xiao He nor Liu Zehang probably expected that their next meeting would be so soon—
