The female lead's role is more important, so Director Yan arranged for her to be interviewed first, and Han Meng was the first to be interviewed.
Less than five minutes later, everyone saw Han Meng come out with a sullen face.
But she didn't leave; instead, she sat back down in the same spot and waited.
"How come Han Meng's interview was so quick? She's only been in there for a short time, she hasn't even had a chance to say a single line."
"Yeah! What happened inside? Why did Han Meng go in and then come out so quickly?"
"Perhaps the interviewers inside weren't prepared..."
...
Yu Yajing glanced at Han Meng and sneered, "You weren't kicked out, were you? If you don't meet Director Yan's requirements, you should just leave."
"Don't laugh at me. Once you're inside, I'll see if you can still come out laughing."
Han Meng was not angered by Yu Yajing.
The two of them made no attempt to hide their conversation from those around them.
After hearing this, Xu Yanyu also felt a little uneasy.
She had just looked up Han Meng's information.
Han Meng is a relatively popular actress in recent years.
In recent years, she broke through the fierce competition in the entertainment industry with a youth idol drama and was known as the national school beauty.
Han Meng has acted in many TV series in recent years, and her participation in Director Yan's film competition is definitely aimed at a career change.
Logically speaking, after acting in TV dramas for so many years, her acting skills should be passable.
How could someone come out so soon after going in?
Just then, the staff brought in another actress who wanted to compete for the lead role.
However, like Han Meng, that actress came out less than five minutes after going in.
Then several celebrities followed suit, going in for only a few minutes before coming out.
But after they came out, they didn't leave. Some of them even sat down next to Xu Yanyu.
Even after inquiring, no useful information was obtained.
Finally, it was Yu Yajing's turn to go in.
Yu Yajing stayed inside for quite a while, about twenty minutes, before coming out.
Although she came out, the expression on her face wasn't very good.
She stood there for a moment to think, then sat back down in her original spot.
This was quite a surprise, and the people sitting next to Xu Yanyu couldn't help but start discussing it again.
"Why didn't Yu Yajing leave after her interview?"
"Yes, in the past, whoever finished the interview would leave."
Why are all the people who auditioned for the female lead role so reluctant to leave?
"Never mind them, a few more people and it'll be time for the second female lead's interview."
...
Soon, all the interviews for the female lead role were completed.
A staff member came out and walked towards the area where Xu Yanyu and the others were.
"Xiang Xin, please come in with me for the interview."
A round-faced girl sitting next to Xu Yanyu followed the staff inside.
The second female lead's interview took a little longer.
This time, it took nearly twenty minutes for Xiang Xin to come out of the interview room.
After Xiang Xin finished her interview, she walked straight out the door.
After several more people finished their interviews, it was finally Xu Yanyu's turn.
"Ms. Xu, it's your turn for the interview."
No sooner had the staff member finished speaking than the people sitting next to Xu Yanyu started making a fuss.
"What? Xu Yanyu is also going to compete with us for the second female lead role?"
"Xu Yanyu is considered one of the top actresses in China now, right? How come she's only competing for a supporting role?"
"If Xu Yanyu is involved, I think she will definitely get the role of the second female lead."
If I had known she was coming for an interview, I wouldn't have come today.
"Yes, it was a wasted trip."
The crowd buzzed with discussion, because Xu Yanyu was wearing a mask the whole time, so none of them recognized her.
Xu Yanyu took off her mask only when she reached the door.
She took a deep breath before walking inside.
Upon entering, I found the interior to be very simply furnished.
Four or five people sat in a row inside. The woman sitting in the middle had gray hair and was wearing a pair of red-rimmed reading glasses.
There was a nameplate in front of her that read Yan Honglian.
Yan Hong coughed twice, her voice a little hoarse, and said, "Xu Yanyu, you were introduced by Director Zeng."
He said you are an actor with a burning passion for your career.
After saying this, Yan Honglian coughed violently several more times.
A man in his forties sitting next to her quickly handed her water and whispered, "Sister Yan, why don't you go and rest for a bit? We can take care of the rest."
Yan Hong waved her hand, "Cough, no need!"
She then turned her gaze to Xu Yanyu, "I know you're filming a movie directed by Wei, and he also said you're a very talented actress."
"Since that's the case... can you tell me why you suddenly switched careers to become a singer?"
Will you still sing in the future? Or should I ask you, do you still enjoy acting?
Various thoughts flashed through Xu Yanyu's mind.
Does she like acting?
Perhaps it was the will left behind by the original owner, but she was actually quite excited when she was acting.
She doesn't reject acting; if there's a good script and a good role, she probably enjoys acting.
She paused for a minute, organizing her thoughts before answering.
"I started as a singer for money and fame. At that time, I was pressured by my management company. 'Masked Singer' was the most suitable opportunity I could get back then."
After singing a lot, I've come to love the feeling of being on stage, and I'll continue to sing in the future.
Because there are still many people who love my singing, I want to share even more beautiful music with everyone.
Moreover, being a singer doesn't conflict with my love of acting at all; I quite enjoy acting..."
Yan Honglian sighed upon hearing Xu Yanyu's answer.
Then she said slowly, "You might not be a good fit for my movie."
The man next to Yan Honglian quickly said, "Director Yan, if you keep conducting interviews like this, you might not be able to interview anyone today."
A woman sitting on the far left also lowered her voice and said, "That's right! We've been to several cities for the role of the female lead, but we still haven't found anyone."
Yu Yajing was willing to act, but you said she wasn't suitable.
Xu Yanyu has such a huge following; you can't turn her down again.
Xu Yanyu was also stunned. Was this her job interview?
They only asked a few questions and that was it?
This piqued Xu Yanyu's curiosity. What was the criterion for this judgment?
"Director Yan, could you tell me why I don't meet your requirements?"
Just because I sing well doesn't mean I can't be an actor, right?
Many actors and singers in neighboring Korea are excellent singers and songwriters, excelling in singing, dancing, and acting.
Why is it that in our Flower Kingdom, actors can only act, and singers can only sing?
If Yan Honglian hadn't looked unwell, Xu Yanyu would have accused her of discrimination.
Seeing Xu Yanyu's stiff neck, Yan Honglian laughed instead.
